BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND RESULTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010
The Board of Directors met on 22 July 2010 to review CFI's business activity and
to approve the Company's financial statements and the consolidated financial
statements for the half year ended 30 June 2010.
In a property market that showed some signs of improvement, which mainly
benefited core investors, the first half of 2010 featured the acquisition on 28
June of a new UGC cinema property, the Bordeaux city-centre UGC multiplex,
purchased through the subsidiary SCI Bordeaux Image. This cinema complex, with
18 screens and 2,784 seats, sold more than one million tickets in 2009.
This EUR10.9 million investment, including acquisition costs, was financed by a
EUR8 million, five-year floating-rate bank loan granted by OSEO, together with
equity contributions from the shareholders of SCI Bordeaux Image, amounting to
EUR1 .6 million for CFI (55%) and EUR1 .3 million for UGC (45%).
This transaction is a positive addition to the existing portfolio of twelve UGC
cinema complexes acquired in 2009 and will create value in two ways: (i) through
a new investor-type lease which was signed with UGC Ciné Cité for a fixed term
of 12 years; and (ii) from end-December 2010, the Company will own the entire
property outright, following the early exercise of the purchase option included
in the finance lease contract currently in effect regarding a portion of the
property.
Rental income in the first half of 2010 amounted to EUR6.5 million, benefiting
from the impact of the 2% contractual rent indexation applied on 1 January 2010.
Operating profit on ordinary activities came to EUR6.2 million.
Based on the appraisal value of the portfolio measured by CB Richard Ellis,
which totalled EUR216 million net of costs and taxes, including EUR13.7 million
for the UGC Bordeaux cinema property, the increase in fair value boosted
consolidated profit by EUR3.3 million. On a like-for-like basis, the appraisal
value of the portfolio held steady compared to the 31 December 2009 figure.
After deducting finance costs of EUR2.6 million, the consolidated financial
statements showed a net profit of EUR6.9 million, of which EUR3.5 million was
attributable to the equity holders of the parent, equating to EUR4.13 per
share.
At 30 June 2010, liquidation Net Asset Value attributable to the equity holders
of the parent came to EUR55.7 million, or EUR65.35 per share.
