The situation on the financial markets has continued to be difficult in the first half of 2009. The different state support measures throughout the world have ha not resulted in a major recovery of the economy yet. -22.17% EUR 10.1351 EUR 23,384,199 EUR 47,315,338 5.68% 3.04% 77.78% 50% 16 21%; 12%; 8% Estonia 63% Bulgaria 12% Lithuania 11% Latvia 1% Eastern European economies were the focus of particular attention in the period under review. The fact that the banks and investors invest have become much more cautious has resulted in a reduced inflow of capital to these countries, leading to serious problems with financing current account. The Baltic countries remain exposed to global credit tightening and economic downturn. Cash, loans & other assets 7% Development projects 26% The financial crisis has produced a continuous shortage of liquidity in the commercial real estate financing sector in the first half of 2009. The situation has also deteriorated due to the decline in the valuations of collaterals. Most funds and investors face capital shortages and refinancing problems. Lower demand also for commercial real estate (both by investors and tenants) is currently evident in all real estate markets, putting continuous pressure on rents, vacancies and yields. Investors with investment capacity are on stand-by and anticipating even lower property prices. There are virtually no commercial real estate transactions.

The initial issue of EEREIT (AS Eastern Europe Real Estate Investment Trust) notes took place in May 2005. The fund was restructured into a regulated real estate fund EEREIF (Eastern Europe Real Estate Investment Fund) in March 2008. Starting from March 2008 reporting to investors is done bi-annually.

EEREIF’s operating environment has been even more challenging in early 2009 than it was in 2008 as real estate activity has basically been in a standstill throughout the first half of the year. Changes in the management of EEREIF In the light of the changed operating environment the fund management company has decided to further improve the management of EEREIF and appoint Gren Noormets as the second EEREIF Fund Manager next to Urmas Laur. Current situation demands more focus with negotiations and cooperation with banks. Gren Noormets has long term experience in banking with a focus on real estate financing that will strengthen the team. Financial Supervision Authority has been notified about the planned change. Portfolio Overview EEREIF’s team closely monitors fund`s needs for capital and plans future cash flows with due care. Availability of funds is adequate to meet the capital expenditure plans and other financial commitments of the fund for the foreseeable future. Whilst there is uncertainty over future market-driven valuation movements which may affect our ability to remain within our bank covenants, the fund manager considers that EEREIF has sufficient financial flexibility for the foreseeable future and the debt servicing capabilities of fund’s portfolio companies have not in general been endangered. However, the capability of the fund to sustain required financial flexibility depends on the direction banks decide to take. Our real estate assets have continued to develop moderately in spite of the difficult environment. The most challenging investments are in those sectors which experience the greatest pressure on rents and vacancies, such as multi-tenant office and retail properties. In most projects the net operating income during the first 6 months of 2009 has increased compared to second half of 2008. Decrease in asset value mostly comes through increased discount rates reflecting uncertainties around rather than real underperformance of assets. We have disclosed more financial information about our assets later in the report. Cash flow projects Sale and leaseback portfolio Sale and leaseback portfolio is still relatively stable in these circumstances due to long-term lease agreements and most tenants are performing relatively well. As the financial health of the tenants is still the most important factor, the fund management team is monitoring the tenants’ financials on a quarterly basis. Today one of the fund’s sale and leaseback tenants is experiencing the negative influence of the tougher market conditions. In case these problems continue the fund management will seek further solutions. Cinema House Sõprus (Estonia). The tenant is continuing the investments according to the investment program agreed in the end of last year. In cooperation with the tenant the city of Tallinn has built a fountain in front of the building.

The fund management team continues with altering the detailed planning in order to merge the 6 land plots under the property. The tenant is in good financial health and is still considering expanding the production area. EEREIF did not use the option to purchase 4 neighbouring plots as the market value of the plots shifted away. Bauhof portfolio (Estonia). Fund’s forward sale and leaseback transaction with Bauhof has been closed according to the construction and investment schedule. Due to contraction of the construction market and the fierce competition among DIY chains in Estonia, Bauhof has decided to postpone the opening of the fourth store. The other three stores have been open and are operating. BE Steel warehouse (Estonia). The process of changing the detailed planning that was initiated by the fund management company received initial approval from the local municipality. Currently the fund is working on getting the approvals from the utility companies. BE Steel warehouse (Lithuania). Property is operating according to the budget. ARX printing house (Lithuania). In the first half of the year the printing house faced difficulties in paying rent due to the downfall of printing market. Today the tenant is working on decreasing the costs by reducing the number of employees, salary costs and leasing costs. So far the tenant has kept to the payment schedule in repaying the standing debt. BE Steel warehouse (Poland). Property is operating according to the budget. Multi-tenant property portfolio 2009 started with a rapid decline in retail and especially in office rents as a substantial amount of new supply came to the market with vacancies of 50% or higher at the time of the completion, and at the same time an opposing trend followed in the wake of the economic downturn as most of the financial and service companies reviewed their headcount and froze their expansion plans, decreased or closed their operations. Järveotsa Centre (Estonia). Due to the competitive advantages the property has quite well stood up against the worsened market conditions. Although tenant mix and lease conditions demand attention from the management, no significant changes in cash flows are expected. Swiss House (Estonia). Management of tenant mix and lease conditions demands significant attention. The tenants are pressuring the fund to reduce the rent and rental space. Most of the new office supply in the recent years is still fighting with 20-40% vacancies and the tenants are enjoying their strong negotiation position to decrease their rents. In May 2009 a lease agreement with one anchor tenant ended and the fund management company is looking for new tenants in cooperation with commercial leasing agents. The fund management team is just about to finish the planned infrastructure investments which were needed to improve the overall quality and appearance of the property to make it more appealing for new tenants.

Fund’s investment programs have been cut down as long as there is no clear demand visible on the market and meanwhile the focus is on protecting the value of investments. Telliskivi City (Estonia). The fund management team has significantly changed the concept of Telliskivi City. Today the efforts are directed towards renting out the already existing premises. Today the efforts are directed towards renting out the premises in their current situation. The new and evolving concept should create a favourable environment for enterprises, educational and cultural institutions, art and entertainment events. Telliskivi City's guidepost is cooperation between its tenants and building a multifunctional creative center with minimum resources. EEREIF is also making some investments into the existing premises by renewing parts of the electrical systems, windows, water supply and also by some common area repairs. The new concept has been met with substantial interest from the creative industry. Balti Kett (Estonia). According to third party real estate appraisals this investment has lost 36% of its last reported value in December 2008 due to weak demand. Eirospektrs (Latvia). A general meeting of shareholders was held on 29th of June 2009. The management proposed to approve the audited annual report and made a presentation on the development of the real estate project. The company is in need of additional capital and further decisions are to be taken during the summer to secure the sustainability of the project. Pajurio IG (Lithuania). Demand from potential tenants is still very weak. As long as there is no substantial tenant interest, the fund management company keeps this project on hold. The fund management company would be willing to sell the project in case it generates market interest. EEREIF is currently renegotiating the loan structure. Vladaja bonds and Delta Marina (Bulgaria). The fund management company continues to work on the change of land status of fund investments in Bulgaria. Fund will be in a better position to attract potential buyers at a better price level once the land status is changed and the market starts to recover from the current crisis. Currently the fund management company cannot give any predictions of when the final approval will be granted, due to upcoming elections of the National Parliament in the country and subsequent political developments closely linked with the changes in the administration dealing with the change of the land status.

Potential value adjustments. The fundamental assumption underlying the adjusted Net Asset Value (NAV) is that it should reflect the economic value of the investment as it would be realized by the investor in a theoretical sale as of the balance sheet date, assuming an arm’s length transaction, a willing buyer/seller, adequate time to market, no duress, etc. The NAV per unit of a fund is normally determined on the basis of the net assets as presented in the funds reports, in accordance with relevant accounting conventions, and divided by the number of units issued. One of the purposes of fund reporting is to present to the investors the value and the performance of their investment. NAV derived from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) does not necessarily fulfill this objective due to specific accounting treatment of tax effects, different financial instruments etc. Fund manager has to compensate that when reporting to investors in order to reflect only relevant risks. We have always followed this practice. According to INREV recommendation these risks/adjustments should be reported separately in its maximum value leaving reader to make a judgment about probability. Please see them in table below.
