Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to be able to report that Dawnay, Day Carpathian PLC ("Dawnay, Day
Carpathian" or the "Company") continues to make good progress towards creating a
€1 billion (£700 million) geared portfolio of retail properties in Central and
Eastern Europe.
The properties we have acquired are well located, have excellent growth
prospects and broad tenant bases. As at 30 June 2006, we had completed the
purchase of £227 million of properties with an annualised rent roll in excess of
£18 million and a blended net initial yield of 7.51%.
Our investment strategy remains focused on acquiring suitable commercial retail
properties such as shopping centres, supermarkets and retail warehousing in
Central and Eastern Europe. Despite the increasing flow of inward property
investment into Central and Eastern Europe, we are confident that the extensive
market contacts gained and in-depth sector knowledge held by the growing
management team will provide the Company with a competitive edge in these
maturing property markets.
Financial Results
During the period under review, the Company acquired six retail properties in
three acquisitions for approximately £140 million. The net rental and related
income for the period was £4.2 million, and the Company overall generated a
profit before tax of £5.2 million, which excludes any revaluation surplus
relating to the period. Independent valuation of the portfolio is conducted on
an annual basis.
The basic earnings per share of the Company were 3.1 pence, while the diluted
earnings per share were 3 pence.
As at 30 June 2006, the Company's borrowings totalled £163.8 million
representing a loan to value ratio of 72%. The cash balance of the Company was
£94.3 million and the net debt was £69.5 million.
The Company actively manages its foreign exchange exposure through different
intermediaries. A large majority of the property income is pegged to the euro,
while the remaining portion is either pegged to US$ or local currency. The local
currency portion provides a natural hedge against operational expenses incurred
in the same currency.
The loans secured against the properties are denominated in euros and have an
average weighted interest rate of 4.6% for the period. All loan agreements have
hedging instruments in place minimising the impact of the interest rate risk.
I am pleased to announce an interim dividend of 2p per share. This is in
accordance with the investment objective in the AIM admission document where the
Directors anticipate an equivalent dividend of 6 to 7 percent for 2006 and 10
percent once fully invested based upon the Company's flotation price of 100
pence per share.
The interim dividend will be payable to shareholders on the register on 6
October 2006 (ex-dividend date of 4 October 2006) and will be paid on 3 November
2006.

Asset Manager Review
In anticipation of the enlarged portfolio, the Dawnay, Day Europe asset
management team has been expanded to 21 people. This recruitment includes a
number of Eastern European nationals, and strengthens DDE's capability
particularly within leasing, project management, facilities management and
property management. While Dawnay, Day Europe's core activities continue to be
directed from the London head office, in June 2006 they established a Warsaw
office, and expect to open further satellite offices throughout our target
regions.
The asset management team is focusing on a number of specific projects:
Antana: - Budapest - Hungary
The retail development proposals of 55,000 sq m GLA (Gross Lettable Area) have
been presented to and positively received by the Mayor, Chief Executive and
Chief Architect for that Municipality. The development requires an increase in
the capacity of the local road infrastructure, requiring a new Master Plan. This
is a formal requirement of the Hungarian planning process and will add to the
project delivery date by 6 months. We have continued to extend existing leases
on a short term basis and sustained the occupancy rate prior to development.
Pecs Plaza: - Hungary
The Company has accumulated adjoining land plots totalling 9.5 hectares. This
land is zoned for commercial and retail use. The land cost of £2.56 million
represents £270 per sqm. Plans are being worked up to extend the retail
facilities with larger anchor and discount units and possibly a 3 star hotel.
Construction will not commence until substantial pre-lets are achieved.
Sopron Plaza: - Sopron - Hungary
The Asset Manager is progressing with the Tenant relocation plan the first stage
of which will see an existing local occupier of 5 prime units relocate to a
single large upper level store at a rent of 25% in excess of the budget. These 5
units will be released from prime locations within the main mall presenting an
opportunity to re-lease to a stronger line-up and variety of retailers at higher
rents.
Savaria Plaza
This centre, substantially vacant with a Developers income guarantee expiring 31
December 2007, now has terms agreed for anchor stores of a 2,000 sqm supermarket
and 650 sq m children's wear store.
Varyada: - Kalovy Vary - Czech Republic
The Asset Manager has identified an opportunity to increase GLA by approximately
500 sq m with an increased annual rental income of £41,500 to provide a new
anchor store for a major international fashion retailer who wishes to occupy
premises.
Promenada Centre: - Warsaw - Poland
Terms have been agreed with Peek and Kloppenberg for a new 2,800 sqm store,
subject to planning. Consent is currently awaited for this extension which
totals 7,600 sqm comprising 4,778 sqm retail, 2,823 sqm offices, 1,790 sqm
leisure.
Investment Pipeline
The asset managers, Dawnay Day Europe and the Company have a well established
profile in the target markets. This is leading to a steady stream of
opportunities being presented to the Company often from private vendors in off
market transactions. Dawnay, Day Carpathian continues to generate many
acquisition opportunities, and there are still a large number of potential deals
that meet our investment criteria.
Since the half-year ended 30 June 2006, we have completed the purchase of two
acquisitions in two new territories with a total value of £35 million bringing
the total portfolio value to over £262 million. In respect of the current
identified pipeline, we are in the advanced stages of due diligence work on
further £180 million of transactions.
In addition, we are also at a well progressed stage on both large single asset
and portfolio negotiations with many further opportunities under discussion. We
see 2007 as being a year during which we will focus on the consolidation and
performance of the assets acquired and consider how we may pursue further the
opportunities that continue to present themselves.
Outlook
We believe we are establishing an excellent portfolio of assets and a reputation
for successfully executing complex transactions. We are not prepared to
disregard issues uncovered in due diligence, and are creative and commercial in
seeking fair adjustment when material problems arise.
The Company is substantially on track to meet its targets set at the time of the
IPO and we look forward to the future with confidence. We remain focused on
income producing retail assets and we are also seeing a rising level of new
developments providing opportunities to invest which are being pursued in ways
so as to minimise our exposure to the associated development risks.
