GROUP CEO’S REVIEW
Q3 was completed with Kodulahe construction works on schedule, Madrid Blvd rental property occupied with paying tenants and the construction of two Estonian developments with 80 apartments kicked off.We continue to be in a seriously failure with Iztok Parkside, where end-solution by public authorities to resolve the streets land question has seemingly become an endless inching week by week. The end solution has not been achieved yet. The associated uncertainty on project sale timeline and damage to return on equity and cashflows is not proportionate to the end profit that we still expect to achieve. It is obvious that any promise on schedule by the management to the shareholders is not reliable under those circumstances. We simply do our best until the resolution.As for Q4 results, Kodulahe will save the full year of Arco Vara. The deliveries of Kodulahe phase 2 apartments have started to take place and we can expect the year to end up with profitable Q4. The group is also in the process of further reducing its operating expenses by circa 10% per annum.
OPERATING REPORTThe revenue of the group totalled 476 thousand euros in Q3 2019 (in Q3 2018: 2,124 thousand euros, of which 1,256 thousand euros from continuing operations) and 2,222 thousand euros in 9 months 2019 (in 9 months 2018: 5,347 thousand euros, of which 3,049 thousand euros from continuing operations), including revenue from the sale of properties in the group’s own development projects in the amount of 224 thousand euros in Q3 and 1,487 thousand euros in 9 months 2019 (2018: 1,045 thousand euros in Q3 and 2,537 thousand euros in 9 months).Most of the other revenue of the group consisted of rental income from commercial and office premises in Madrid Blvd building in Sofia, amounting to 186 thousand euros in Q3 2019 and 536 thousand euros in 9 months (2018: 167 thousand euros in Q3 and 419 thousand euros in 9 months). In Q3 2019, nearly all office and commercial spaces together with parking places were rented out.In Q3 and 9 months 2019, the group had an operating loss of 64 thousand euros and 118 thousand euros, respectively. In 2018, the group had an operating profit from continuing operations of 167 thousand euros in Q3 and 100 thousand euros in 9 months.In Q3 2019, construction works came close to an end in Stage II of Kodulahe project, a building with 68 apartments and 1 commercial space. The project is expected to be largely realized by the end of 2019. By the publishing date of the interim report, 16 apartments have been sold and 49 apartments presold.In Q3, design works for Stages III-V of Kodulahe came close to an end and construction of Stage III was started.
