Eastern Property Holdings Ltd (EPH), the real estate investment company, today announces audited 2016 year-end results:

-- NAV of $36.35 per share - increased from $35.54 at YE2015

-- Net loss for the period of $70.5 million is mainly a result of foreign exchange losses of US$85.1 million which are partially overlapped by the positive change in cumulative translation adjustment in the amount of $67.1 million (reflected directly in the equity)

-- The Company's investment properties held at fair value are $761.6 million (31 December 2015: $661.8 million). The increase is mainly caused by acquisition of 94% of CityGate office and retail property in Stuttgart, Germany. The value of the remaining portfolio of the Group decreased by only less than 2% and was able to show a positive operating result before taxes of more than US$7 million if not considering the impact from currency fluctuations.

-- In December 2016, the Company issued 4,635,890 ordinary shares and sold it on the market. As a result of this share issue and taking into account 2016 financial results, the Group's equity increased to $363.03 million (31 December 2015: $189.01 million).
