As at 30 June 2017 the GAV of the Fund increased to EUR 170.9 million (EUR 169.0 million as at 31 March 2017). During Q2 the Fund successfully refinanced the Domus Pro property by fully repaying the existing bank loan. The Fund used its own cash to repay the loan and agreed to draw down the new loan once the funds are needed for the new acquisitions.
As of 30 June 2017, the Fund NAV was EUR 86.2 million, compared to EUR 76.8 million as at 31 March 2017. The increase in NAV is mainly related to new capital raised during Q2 2017 and the performance of the Fund.
During Q2 2017, the Fund recorded a net profit of EUR 1,542 thousand (EUR 8 thousand during Q2 2016). The net result was positively affected by the revaluation gains and the operational performance of the properties. However, the net profit was negatively affected by the costs of the secondary public offering. During Q2 2017, the Fund incurred EUR 171 thousand of non-recurring costs related to the secondary public offering (EUR 373 thousand during H1 2017).
In Q2 2017, the net rental operating income (NOI) earned by the Group amounted to EUR 2.7 million and was higher than in Q2 2016 when the Group earned EUR 1.5 million. Compared to Q2 2016, the increase in NOI is mainly related to rental income earned by the newly acquired properties.
