Sale of Group Property in Tureni, Romania

 

First Property Group plc (AIM: FPO), the property fund manager and investor,
is pleased to report that it has completed the sale of the warehouse it owned
in Tureni, Romania, for €3.60 million (£3.05 million). The sale price
represents a profit on disposal of some €1.16 million (£981,000). This
profit has been struck after the deduction of costs associated with the sale,
capital expenditure incurred on the property during the period of ownership
and remaining fitout costs contractually due to be incurred in respect of the
property.

 

After the repayment of €2.52 million (£2.14 million) in bank debt secured
against the property, the sale should release some €706,000 (£598,000) in
cash to the Group.

Commenting on the sale, Ben Habib, Chief Executive, said:

"I am very pleased by the sale of our warehouse in Tureni, Romania, for €3.6
million, which was acquired for €2 million in 2014. The profit on sale was
€1.16 million, representing a gain of 47% - an excellent result."
