CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Introduction
We are pleased to announce the interim results for Raven Russia Limited for the six months ended 30 June 2008.
We have continued making significant progress with our property portfolio and expect to shortly complete the restructuring of the business through the proposed internalisation of the Property Adviser approved at the recent EGM.
The Company now owns an investment portfolio with an annual net income of $48.4 million. Our development portfolio is progressing rapidly with a forecast end development cost of $2.5 billion* and anticipated annual net income of $334 million* once fully developed and let.
Despite Rouble and commodity price appreciation, we continue to expect to achieve an ungeared portfolio yield on cost of 13 %.
Results
In the six months to 30 June 2008 the Company made a pre tax profit of $58 million (30 June 2007: $64 million), including a revaluation gain of $45 million (30 June 2007: $40 million) equating to a basic EPS of 11.19 cents (30 June 2007: 12.56 cents).
Net rental income was as expected for the period with the completion and letting of phases at Istra in Moscow and Shushari in St Petersburg.
Unrealised foreign exchange gains in our income statement arose principally from the effect of Rouble appreciation on US Dollar denominated bank debt on our investment properties. The main cash flow impact of both Rouble and commodity price appreciation has been to increase construction costs. Our hedging policy is expanded upon in a later section.
As expected in this period of construction, our net finance income reduced in the first six months as net cash balances decreased. We also felt the impact of lower US Dollar interest rates. Cash balances of $317 million were held at the period end (31 December 2007: $481 million) and we remained in a net cash position at 30 June 2008 of $51 million (31 December 2007: $348 million). Details of our progress on financing are given below.
As part of a review on the functional currencies of the companies within the Group, there has been a reassessment of the functional currency of our Russian subsidiaries and it has been concluded that these should be Russian Rouble. Comparative figures have been restated accordingly.
*Based on Property Adviser's estimates
Dividends
Our portfolio continues to develop and we remain on target to meet our objective of 9 pence per share dividend once fully invested. We intend to pay an interim dividend of 3 pence per share (2007: 2.5 pence) to shareholders on the register at 19 September 2008.
We will again offer a full scrip dividend, although a cash dividend will be offered as an alternative.
Net Asset Value
At 4 September 2008 our share price was 69 pence. The Group's adjusted Net Asset Value (NAV) at 30 June 2008 was $1,028 million. Denominated in Sterling as a comparative measure at period end exchange rates, this equates to 119 pence per share, an increase of 3% on 31 December 2007 (115 pence per share). To date, the Group has paid cumulative dividends of 10.5 pence, giving total NAV including dividends at 30 June 2008 of 129.5 pence per share, growth of 6% on the 31 December 2007 figure of 122.5 pence per share.
Portfolio
Following a formal revaluation by Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) our investment portfolio value has increased to $491million, (31 December 2007: $346 million) an uplift of $135 million over cost or 31 cents per share (15.5 pence per share).
Our work in progress balance totals $350 million and in line with our accounting policy is carried at cost. Therefore no potential uplift in value is reflected in the NAV figures above.
Financing
We have continued to sign new facilities and drawdown on existing ones during the period.
The international finance markets have continued to be challenging but we have a dedicated finance team and a unique proposition and consequently are making good progress in a difficult banking environment.
During the six months to 30 June 2008 we completed the draw down of the investment facility on our Krekshino project, drawing $89 million. We also announced the signing of two construction debt facilities: with HSH Nordbank on phase 1 of our Noginsk project in Moscow; and with IFC on our Kiev project.
Since the period end, we have bought into the AKM project including legacy construction debt with Nomos Bank; have announced the signing of an investment debt facility with Aareal Bank on phases 1 and 2 of the Istra project in Moscow and a project finance facility with IFC on the Megalogix Joint Venture in Novosibirsk.
At the time of writing, this gives us fully underwritten investment financing facilities of $267.5 million at a weighted average cost to the Group of 6.68% including fees. We have drawn $178.5 million of this to date and expect to draw the remainder in the coming month.
The ungeared yield on cost of these properties is 13.8% and the financing represents a loan to cost ratio of 89% and a loan to value ratio of 63%.
Total construction debt facilities available now total $274 million of which $219 million is fully underwritten or successfully syndicated and $55 million is subject to syndication.
Of these facilities $48 million was acquired with the AKM project already drawn, with the balance to be drawn over the respective construction periods. The weighted average cost of construction debt to the Group is 9.4% including fees and the financing represents an average loan to cost ratio of 62%.
In addition to the construction debt above, in March we announced that our Megalogix Joint Venture had signed an underwritten construction facility with VTB Europe Bank for $100 million at a cost of below 7%. We had planned to draw the first tranche of this debt in the next week but VTB have recently requested an increase in margin. The Joint Venture shareholders and the Board of Megalogix are reserving their position until the bank have clarified their request.
We are also at various stages of negotiating additional investment and construction debt facilities and we hope to be able to update shareholders in due course.
Hedging
Interest rate hedging is in place for all investment debt drawn, $41 million capped for 5 years at a ceiling of 5.50% plus margin and $137 million fixed for 5 years at a weighted average rate of 3.90% plus margin.
The principal currency exposure for the Group remains US Dollar/Rouble on elements of construction contracts. Non deliverable forward contracts have been entered into to fix exchange rates for these construction cash flows on rolling 6 month periods. At the time of writing we have $150 million of these contracts outstanding at a blended rate of 23.63 Roubles to the Dollar.
There also remains exposure on payment of dividends in sterling but we have retained sufficient sterling cash balances to cover these in the short term.
Outlook
We are operating in an exciting market and are continuing to make great progress.
Inflation continues to push up construction costs but is also causing rents to rise. The strength of the Rouble against the Dollar is having a similar, double impact, causing an increase in Dollar construction costs but also making our Dollar rents more affordable for tenants.
Overall we are still achieving attractive yields on cost.
The banking environment remains difficult but we have good facilities in place and are working hard to obtain finance on attractive terms. The arbitrage between property yields and finance costs remains extremely attractive.
We are progressing with our planned move to the Official List which we hope to commence in the second quarter of 2009 following the announcement of our audited financial results for the year ending 31 December 2008.
As announced previously, the internalisation of the Company's Property Adviser is attractive financially but will also bring a more efficient structure to the Group which will be of enormous benefit.
We look forward to continued progress and the results that building this unique business will bring.
Richard Jewson
Property Advisers Review
Our focus over the past six months has been on construction, leasing and financing of the portfolio of investment and development projects we have previously assembled for Raven Russia.
The Company has now committed to projects which we estimate to have a potential end value of $2.5 billion once built and let.
In the first six months of 2008 we completed leases or pre-leased 210,350 square metres (2,264,188 square feet) of space at an average rent of $126 per square metre on a weighted average lease term of 8.7 years.
During the period we completed construction of 109,367 square metres (1,177,217 square feet) of new space which is now fully let. We are building a further 889,852 square metres (9,578,287 square feet) of space for delivery in 2008 and 2009. This will bring the completed portfolio to 1,227,350 square metres (13,211,085 square feet).
Investment Portfolio
Jones Lang LaSalle revalued these properties at 30 June 2008 at $491 million representing a surplus on cost of $135 million and an initial yield of 9.9%.
Development Portfolio
We currently hold 406 ha and have secured preliminary agreements to acquire a further 306 ha, including the Megalogix Joint Venture. In total it is possible to build 2,994,057 square metres (31,689,501 square feet) of space, on these 712 ha.
On 151 ha we are now building 889,852 square metres (9,578,287 square feet) in Moscow, St Petersburg, Rostov and Novosibirsk. Of this, 676,031 square metres (7,276,737 square feet) is scheduled for delivery at the end of the year.
The remaining land at various sites will be developed in due course as the first phase of our projects consolidate through the signing of pre leases and the commitment of external debt to release the Company's equity.
Of the area under construction, we have preleased and signed letters of intent on 175,800 square metres representing 20% of the total.
We continue to see the effects of inflation on construction costs, especially in the cost of steel and concrete. This has led to an overall increase in the cost of completing our portfolio. Balanced against this is the increase in rents, particularly in Moscow.
Overall we still anticipate delivering a yield on cost of 13%. Virtually all leases contain a minimum upwards only annual indexation provision.
Megalogix Joint Venture
The first two Megalogix Joint Venture projects in Rostov and Novosibirsk are under construction with delivery of the first phases due around the end of the year.
We also have a further six sites in various regional cities where land is in ownership or leased by the Megalogix JV. On all these sites we are finalising the necessary pre construction permitting, tendering and utilities issues to ready the sites for development. We anticipate starting work selectively only when permits, financing and tenant demand issues are clear.
Avalon Logistics
In addition to Megalogix, we also have a second Joint Venture with Avalon Overseas, the third party logistics provider (3PL), Avalon Logistics.
In the first six months of the year the business has taken possession of 78,000 square metres of operating floor space giving it a total capacity of 105,000 square metres which it is now utilising to service its ever expanding list of local and multinational clients.
Measured by warehouse capacity, Avalon Logistics is now the third largest 3PL in Russia. Through the Megalogix Joint Venture, we are building a significant platform for the business to expand across Russia, giving Avalon a unique, competitive advantage in a market where one of the biggest barriers to entry is the availability of warehouse space.
We expect the business to continue to grow rapidly over the next couple of years as we build a pan Russia, market leading logistics business.
Deal Pipeline
We continue to appraise opportunities for the Company and are actively considering the acquisition of a number of projects where we think potential exists to produce enhanced returns. At the current time any further acquisitions will only be made where we can clearly see the prospect of external financing becoming available or the Company's equity requirement is minimised until debt is drawn.
The Market
Tenant demand is still very strong in Russia and Moscow in particular. The credit crisis has affected the amount of warehouse space being built in 2008 and our own estimates are that 600,000 square metres will be delivered in Moscow and the Moscow region this year, down from 1.1 million last year. This has resulted in a shift in rents from the $120-$130 range to the $135-$145 range, which is still affordable given the decline in the US Dollar versus the Rouble.
Both Russian and international companies continue to take up space as demand for their products and services continue to grow. Lease lengths are meanwhile increasing and on a weighted basis we have signed new leases for an average life of 8.7 years in the first six months of the year.
The continued high level of tenant demand, and increasing rents, is underpinning capital values and yields on prime warehousing property have remained broadly stable at 9.5-10% in Moscow.
Outlook
The Russian economic environment is still positive and we are uniquely placed to benefit from the consumer-led retail boom that is driving the demand for warehousing. Over the next six months our focus will remain on construction, leasing and financing across the portfolio.

Notes to the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated financial statements
For the six months ended 30 June 2008
1. Basis of accounting
Basis of preparation
The condensed financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards and the principles set out in International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Condensed Interim financial reporting.
The Condensed financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007.
Significant accounting policies
The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation are followed in these condensed financial statements as those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007, except for the adoption of IFRIC 11: IFRS 2 Group and treasury share transactions. Adoption of this Interpretation did not have any effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.
Restatement of prior period amounts
During the period to 30 June 2008 certain of the Group's Russian subsidiary and joint venture companies reassessed their functional currencies and concluded that the functional currency was in fact the Russian rouble rather than the United States dollar. The companies concerned have restated their financial statements on the basis that their functional currency is the Russian rouble. This has a consequential effect on these consolidated financial statements, which has been summarised below:
