17.08.2012: Arco Vara AS Interim report for II quarter and 6 months 2012

Group Chief Executive’s review

The most important events of the second quarter and the first half-year are
related to the supervisory board. In the previous quarterly report, we informed
you of three resignations and the election of three new members of the
supervisory board - Toomas Tool, Stephan David Balkin and Aivar Pilv. An
extraordinary general meeting that convened after the reporting date, on 30
July 2012, also elected to the supervisory board Arvo Nõges and Rain Lõhmus.

A significant transaction was conducted in April when we divested our 49.9%
stake in the joint venture Bišumuižas Nami SIA to the co-venturer SIA Linstow
Baltic. Arco Vara sought possibilities for exiting the project for over a year.
Through the transaction, we disposed of the obligation to support the joint
venture in the development of apartment buildings and in servicing loan
liabilities. In 2011 we financed the joint venture to the extent of 0.3 million
euros and Bišumuižas Nami SIA’s loan liabilities alone totalled 14 million
euros.

Out of the six-month net loss of 1.3 million euros, 0.7 million euros resulted
from the sale of an investment property in Tallinn, where we disposed of the
right of superficies on the property at Kadaka tee 131. The remaining loss of
0.6 million euros is mainly attributable to the fact that the conclusion of
real right contracts in the Manastirski project in Sofia was postponed from the
second quarter to the third one.

In the first half of 2012, a total of 35 apartments and plots were sold in the
projects of Arco Vara: 29 in Estonia and 6 in Latvia. The figure does not yet
include the apartments sold in the Manastirski apartment block, which was
completed at the end of spring, because currently only contracts under the law
of obligations (presale contracts) have been concluded there. The sales of
those apartments will be included in revenue from the third quarter.

As regards major ongoing work, in Tallinn we are developing a large-scale
apartment buildings project called Tivoli. A construction contract of 13
million euros was signed in May. Construction of phase VI in the Kodukolde
project (48 apartments) at Helme 16 in Tallinn was completed in June 2012. In
the second quarter, 28 of the apartments were sold under real right contracts.
In June, we signed a contract for the construction of a residential and
commercial building of energy class B called Kastanimaja (Chestnut House) at
Tehnika 53 in Tallinn. Pre-sale of the apartments has been successful: by the
reporting date 8 of the 14 apartments were covered with contracts under the law
of obligations.

In Bulgaria, the construction of phase I of the Manastirski project (7,000
square metres) has been completed. At the reporting date, 76% of its 74
apartments were reserved. In addition, we continue to lease out commercial
premises and to sell the remaining free apartments in the commercial and
residential building Boulevard Residence Madrid in Sofia.

In the Bišumuiža 1 apartment buildings project in Latvia, the fourth building
of phase II (14 apartments) will be completed in the second half of 2012. In
addition to selling the apartments of Bišumuiža 1, we continue to sell plots in
the Mazais Baltezers project. Completion of development projects has a strong
impact on the Group’s revenue, because sales are recognised as revenue when
construction has been completed, not when it is in progress.

In the first half of 2012, our Service division performed better than a year
ago, generating revenue of 1,291 thousand euros, 13% up on the first half of
2011. In the first six months of 2012, the division earned an operating profit
of 59 thousand euros compared with an operating profit of 44 thousand euros for
the comparative period. The number of brokerage transactions increased by 15%
and the number of valuation reports issued grew by 14% year over year. At the
same time, the number of brokers decreased by 3% and the number of appraisers
increased by 18%.

In the first half of 2012, we secured new construction contracts of 3.2 million
euros. At the reporting date, the order backlog stood at 10.3 million euros
against 13.5 million euros at the end of the second quarter of 2011. The
Construction division ended the first half-year with an operating profit of 0.2
million euros compared with an operating loss of 0.8 million euros incurred in
the first half of 2011.

In the first half-year, the Group’s loans and borrowings decreased by 0.3
million euros while equity to assets ratio remained more or less stable at
around 40%. The weighted average interest rate of loans and borrowings
decreased by 0.5 percentage points compared with a year ago, mainly thanks to a
decline in EURIBOR. The weighted average duration of loans and borrowings
extended slightly, from 2.0 years to 2.1 years.



KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

the effect of the Tivoli transaction, revenue for the first six months of
2012 was 27% smaller than a year ago.

DEVELOPMENT DIVISION

In the first half of 2012, Arco Vara sold 33 apartments and two plots in its
own projects: four apartments in the Bišumuiža project and two plots in Latvia
and 29 apartments in the Kodukolde project in Estonia. It should be noted that
the figures do not yet include the apartments sold in the recently completed
apartment block in the Manastirski project where currently only contracts under
the law of obligations have been signed (under Estonian legislation, in a real
estate transaction a contract under the law of obligations is signed when the
buyer makes a prepayment and the parties agree the terms and conditions of
sale, thus it is essentially a presale contract; title to the property
transfers under a real right contract, which is usually signed when the real
estate is complete). The sales of those apartments will be included in revenue
from the third quarter.

In June, the division completed phase VI of the Kodukolde development project
at Helme 16 in Tallinn, which consists of two apartment buildings with a total
of 48 apartments. Out of the latter 28 were sold during the second quarter
under real right contracts. At the reporting date, the inventory of the project
included 22 unsold apartments, 4 of which were reserved (covered with contracts
under the law of obligations).

In the fourth quarter of 2011, Tivoli Arendus OÜ obtained a permit for the
construction of six residential buildings. The design and build contract with
Nordecon AS was signed in May 2012. Because of the time required for making
changes to the design and obtaining approvals, commencement of construction
operations has been scheduled for autumn 2012.

In January 2012, the division obtained a permit for the construction of a
residential and commercial building of energy class B called Kastanimaja
(Chestnut House), designed to be located at Tehnika 53 in Tallinn. The work was
put out to tender in the first quarter and the construction contract with AS
Parmeron was signed in June. According to plan, construction work will be
completed in 11 months. Pre-sale of apartments, which began in May 2012, has
been successful: by the end of the second quarter 8 of the 14 apartments were
covered with contracts under the law of obligations.

In Bulgaria, the construction of phase I in the Manastirski project has been
completed. At 30 June 2012, 76% of the apartments were reserved. In the
commercial and residential building Boulevard Residence Madrid in Sofia the
division continues to lease out commercial premises, to deliver reserved
apartments under real right contracts, and to sell the remaining free
apartments.

In the Bišumuiža 1 project in Latvia further development and construction has
been suspended. There are three buildings of 14 apartments each in different
stages of completion. The completed phases include 4 unsold apartments.

In April 2012 we divested our stake in the joint venture Bišumuižas Nami SIA to
the co-venturer SIA Linstow Baltic. Arco Vara sought possibilities for exiting
the project for over a year. Through the transaction, the Group disposed of the
obligation to support the joint venture in the development of apartment
buildings and in servicing loan liabilities. Bišumuižas Nami SIA’s loan
liabilities totalled 14 million euros.

In June, the division started carrying out a restructuring plan, which foresees
merging and dissolving small project companies. As the first step, by July 2012
Arco Vara Ärikinnistute OÜ, OÜ Waldrop Investments and AIP Projekti OÜ were
merged with Fineprojekti OÜ.

At the end of June 2012, the Development division employed 20 people (30 June
2011: 21).

CONSTRUCTION DIVISION

The Construction division specialises in environmental and civil engineering.

At the end of the second quarter of 2012, the largest contracts in progress
were the design and build of the reconstruction and extension of the public
water and wastewater systems of the Suure-Jaani rural municipality (two phases
with a total remaining balance of 3.1 million euros), the construction of the
Paide wastewater treatment plant (remaining balance 2.6 million euros), the
design and build of water and wastewater pipelines for the city of Loksa
(remaining balance 1.4 million euros) and the construction of the Kuusalu
public water and wastewater network (remaining balance 2 million euros).

In the second quarter of 2012, the division secured new construction contracts
of 0.3 million euros. At the reporting date, the order backlog stood at 10.3
million euros compared with 13.5 million euros at the end of the second quarter
of 2011.

At the end of June 2012, the Construction division employed 52 people (30 June
2011: 55).
