The Romania Property Fund Limited Reports its Interim Results
for the period ended 30 June 2010
London, United Kingdom - The Romania Property Fund Limited
("Romania Property Fund" or "the Company") today reports its
interim results for the period ended 30 June 2010.
Overview of the period to 30 June 2010
-- Accounting NAV of EUR 19.2 cents (GBP 15.75 pence) per
share.
-- On the 24 June 2010, the directors of Romania Property Fund
announced the signing of non-binding heads of terms with Blackpearl
Property Limited ("Blackpearl") in relation to a potential
acquisition by the Company of a portfolio of additional Romanian
property assets and simultaneous fundraising. The proposals, if
consummated through legally binding agreements, will constitute a
reverse takeover under Rule 14 of the AIM Rules. Although the
original heads of terms have now fallen away a revised acquisition
is being agreed.
Since the period end 30 June 2010
-- The Company has arranged for interim financing, via a loan
with Moserburg Investments Limited, for GBP250,000 of working
capital into the Company and a further EUR150,000 into its Romanian
subsidiary, Gold Developments SPV SRL..
-- A number of creditors to the Company have also agreed to
standstill to allow the Directors to continue their negotiations
regarding the property acquisition from Blackpearl and simultaneous
fund raising. The Directors expect these discussions to be
concluded in the first quarter of 2011. However, there can be no
certainty that those discussions will result in an acquisition by,
and refinancing of, the Company.
-- The Company announced the cancellation of admission of the
Company's Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM, following a period of
six months of suspension from trading and in accordance with AIM
Rule 41. If the Blackpearl discussions are successfully concluded
and the resulting transaction approved by Shareholders, the Company
will apply for its Ordinary Shares to be re-admitted to AIM on
completion of the transaction.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
for the period 1 January to 30 June
2010
1 CORPORATE INFORMATION
The Romania Property Fund Limited formerly Lewis Charles Romania
Property Fund Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries
(together the "Group") is an investment fund with an investment
portfolio in Romania. The aim of the Company is to generate
capital gains by investing in both residential and commercial
property in Romania, primarily, although not exclusively, around
Bucharest.
The Company is a limited company incorporated in Guernsey.
The address of the registered office is shown on page 2. The
life of the Company is fixed by the Articles to sixth anniversary
of Admission. The directors have the right to extend to the
seventh anniversary of Admission, thereafter the duration of
the Company may be extended at an extraordinary general meeting
convened for the purpose.
On 2 August 2007 the Company was listed on the Alternative
Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange PLC, however
shares were suspended from trading on 10 June 2010, whilst
negotiations for re-structuring took place. However, these
negotiations were not successful and the company has arranged
for alternative finances. A reinstatement of trading in the
Company's shares should occur on publication of these accounts
by the Company.
These financial statements were authorised by the Board for
issue on 10 December 2010 and are signed on its behalf by P
Duquemin and C Simon.
2 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting
Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"). They do
not include all the information required for full annual financial
statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009.
3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
the accounting policies set out in the Group's annual financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2009 except for the
adoption of standards described below. The Group's annual financial
statements refer to new Standards and Interpretations none
of which had a material impact on the financial statements.
IFRS 3 (revised) - "Business Combinations" is applicable prospectively
to all business combinations for which the designated acquisition
date is on or after 1 January 2010. IAS 27 (revised) - "Consolidated
and Separate Financial Statements" is effective as from 1 January
2010. The application of these two revised standards does not
have a material impact on the Group's financial statements
at 30 June 2010. Other amendments obligatorily applicable as
of 1 January 2010 do not have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements.
The Directors have reviewed the current budgets and cash flow
projections for the period to 31 May 2012. These forecasts
indicate the need for additional funding for continuing working
capital.
Confirmation has been obtained from creditors for a deferral
to the value of GBP450,000 but the Group still requires additional
cash for working capital needs. This will be met by a loan
facility of GBP250,000 to the Company and an additional loan
facility of EUR150,000 to Romanian joint venture company SC
Gold Developments SPV SRL. Deferral of payment to creditors
and cash received will allow sufficient time for Directors
to consider alternative financing and disposal of the property
within the Joint Venture. Based on advanced discussions with
Unicredit Bank, the directors anticipate that the loan payable,
which is due for renewal on 15 December 2010, by Joint Venture
entity will be rolled forward.
Various sources of financing are currently being considered
by the directors including negotiating new property acquisitions
and raising fresh equity with the Blackpearl group. A final
decision regarding the source of financing has not been made.
Accordingly the directors have prepared these financial
statements on going concern basis.
4 ADMINISTRATION FEES
Under the Administration Agreement the Administrator is entitled
to receive an annual administration fee at a rate as may be
agreed in writing from time to time between the Company and
the Administrator. The present fee is 0.09% per annum of the
Net Asset Value of the Company up to GBP100 million and 0.07%
of the Net Asset Value of the Company above GBP100 million,
subject to a minimum fee during the period of GBP65,958 per
annum plus disbursements.
Other administration fees are paid by the underlying subsidiaries
at a rate as may be agreed in writing from time to time between
those companies and their separately appointed administrators.
5 DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARY COMPANY
The Group sold its Luxembourg subsidiary Romholdings S.A. to
Blackpearl Real Estate LLP for a nominal consideration of EUR
1 on 11 June 2010. The cash balances of Romholdings S.A., of
EUR 22,525.40, was used to clear all outstanding liabilities
including The Romania Property Fund Limited's' Shareholders
Loan of EUR 40,658.56. The remaining balance of The Romania
Property Fund Limited's' Shareholders loan, after this part
repayment, was written off in the books of both Romholdings
S.A. and The Romania Property Fund Limited.
6 LOSS PER SHARE - BASIC AND DILUTED
The consolidated basic and diluted loss per Ordinary Share
of 2.94 cents (2009: 19.85 cents) is based on the net loss
of EUR575,165 (2009: 3,885,522) and on 19,576,405 (2009: 19,576,405)
ordinary shares in issue, being the weighted average number

The Group's main activity is the development and sale of residential
and commercial property. The process of obtaining zoning and
permits may in itself take some time. This period is then added
to by the time taken to construct the properties. In this time
the costs of the land and the construction are recorded in
Inventories. The Group continually reviews the net realisable
value of the inventory against the cumulative costs that are
held on its balance sheet. To enable this review, management
have appointed appropriately qualified personnel to monitor
and control the costs of construction.
The costs that have been incurred and are projected to be incurred
are benchmarked against those available in the market to ensure
that best value is achieved. A strict tendering process is
adhered to when procuring construction services and the costs
are controlled locally on a monthly basis. In addition to this,
the Group has appointed DTZ Echinox Consulting S.R.L to assist
them to undertake an independent assessment of the net realisable
value of its developments.
DTZ Echinox Consulting S.R.L in their valuation report as of
30 June 2010 have calculated value of the Mogosoaia Project,
to be EUR6,300,000, in accordance with RICS valuation standards.
The approved RICS definition of market value is the '"The estimated
amount for which a property should exchange on the date of
valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an
arm's-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the
parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without
compulsion".

incurred in the establishment of the Company, such expenses
to be amortised over the expected life of the Company. However,
this accounting treatment is not permitted for financial reporting
purposes and has been adjusted accordingly within these financial

Limited which has been earmarked by Directors for working capital
in the Group. A further agreement for a loan of EUR150,000
was entered into with Moserburg Investments Limited for SC
Gold Developments SPV SRL. Both loans mature on 2 April 2012
