****

Compared to the 2018 annual financial report, the interim report at 31 March 2019 incorporates the adoption of the new accounting standard IFRS 16 - Leases, which came into effect as from 1 January 2019.

The new standard establishes a single model for the recognition and valuation of leasing contracts for the lessee, without any further distinction between operating lease and financial lease and in particular provides

-for the contracts to which it is applicable - the registration of the right of use of the underlying asset in the balance sheet assets with a financial debt counterpart. The faculty not to recognize as leasing the contracts concerning assets of moderate unit value and the leases with a residual duration equal to or less than 12 months.

For the adoption of the new principle, the Group has followed the modified retrospective transition method (ie with the cumulative effect of the adoption recognized as an adjustment to the earnings opening balance carried forward to January 1, 2019, without restating the comparative information).

Passive lease contracts previously classified as operating, had been accounted as:

a financial liability, equal to the present value of future payments remaining on the transition date, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate (IBR) applicable for each contract at the transition date;

a right of use equal to the value of the financial liability at the transition date.

Overall, the application of the new standard at March 31, 2019 shows:

rights of use for a total of € 3.1 million, recorded in non-current assets;

a financial liability, calculated as described above, for approximately € 3.5 million.

regarding the income statement, an improvement in gross operating profit (EBITDA) of € 0.3 million, coming from the reversal of lease payments, offset by higher depreciation and amortization of € 0.2 million and higher almost zero financial charges, with an impact on EBITDA, on EBIT of € 0.3 million and € 0.1 million.

OUTLOOK

For the 2019 financial year, the Company can only confirm its willingness to continue its activities in the path of dimensional growth of rental revenues through both:

i)the enhancement of its portfolio with a physiological rotation on the market where there could be opportunities to be seized, as well as through

ii)the sale and purchase of investments not consolidated today in order to increase the rented

portfolio.

The attention remains high and therefore so do the relative actions to be taken - where the existence and the concreteness of the market conditions were found - on the strengthening of the equity structure (of the Company or of its subsidiaries) as shown in the Information Prospectus of listing, which would allow a more significant and timely growth of the real estate rented portfolio in the second half of the year.
