Director's Statement

I am pleased to report the condensed interim financial statements of MENA Land PLC (the "Company") for the six months ended 30 June 2019.

The Company was formed for the purpose of making acquisitions in the real estate sector in the United Arab Emirates, and our long-term strategy remains steadfast, which we aim to achieve by:

-- acquiring high-quality income generating assets ensuring flexibility to cope with technological advances and environmental sustainability;

-- building a real estate practice aimed at delivering diversification and superior risk-adjusted returns by identifying attractive opportunities on a highly selective basis; and

-- maintaining capital discipline to create value, with a strong and healthy balance sheet and extensive reach to access capital markets.

Financial headlines

In the six months ended 30 June 2019:

-- On 11 April 2019 the Company completed its initial public offering with admission to the Standard Listing segment of the Official List and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange.

-- On 24 June 2019 the Company entered into an agreement with Blue Rock Investments LLC ("Blue Rock") for a GBP100,000 loan facility ("the Facility") for a period of five years with an interest coupon of 5% per annum.

   --    Total loss for the period was GBP120,665. 
   --     Net assets at 30 June 2019 were GBP665,673. 

Outlook

The Company continues to make steady progress with efforts towards identifying suitable assets for acquisition and is well positioned to move quickly once these quality assets are identified. At 30 June 2019 the Company had net assets of GBP665,673 (as a result of gross proceeds from the issue of equity in April 2019) to be put towards costs to be incurred in connection with seeking to identify and effect an acquisition(s). The costs of such acquisition(s) will likely comprise legal, financial and tax due diligence.

The directors do not consider that there are any changes to the principal risks and uncertainties since the publication of the prospectus in connection with admission to the Standard Listing segment of the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities, which contained a detailed explanation of the risks relevant to the Company, and which is available on the Company's website at www.mena-land.com.

Responsibility statement
