7. Management report on the consolidated financial statements

       presented by the Board of Directors to the Ordinary General Meeting on 31 August 2015

            Ladies and Gentlemen,

            In accordance with the relevant legal provisions and the Company’s articles of association,
            we have the honour of reporting to you on our management and on the development of
            the Company’s business during the financial year ending on 30 April 2015, and of submitting
            for your approval the company’s financial statements for this financial year as well as the
            proposed appropriation of the profits.

            1. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS OCCURRING DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

            The financial year 2014–2015 closed with a consolidated net profit after tax of
            €17,604,062.90.

            The result for the financial year mainly incorporates a partial recognition of the margin, in
            accordance with the IFRS accounting standards, generated from the following real estate
            transactions:

            	 • Sale to Befimmo of the Gateway office building project being developed at the
                            Brussels National Airport site;

            	 • Sale to Silver Royal 2014 SA of a majority stake (51%) in the capital of the dedicated
                               companies set up in the framework of the development of the offices, shops and car
            	   park for the Royal-Hamilius project to be developed in the centre of Luxembourg’s
                             capital city.

            This result also takes into account the residual margin related to the completion in June
            2014 of the sale to Deutsche Bank Asset & Wealth Management of the White Park shopping
            centre project in Villennes-Orgeval, France.

            2. OUTLOOK

            The Group’s policy of prudence and rationalisation pursued in recent years enables it to
            have the necessary resources at its disposal to continue the development of its products
            and position itself, alone or with high-quality partners, to acquire new large-scale projects.

            3. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER 30 APRIL 2015

            Since the close of the financial year on 30/04/2015, the Company has successfully carried
            out a new bond issue totalling €30 million. Identified by ISIN code BE0002231976, the
            bonds are listed on Alternext Brussels.
