Reconstruction Capital II Limited (the "Company")

Interim Unaudited Financial Statements

for the six months ended 30 June 2020

Reconstruction Capital II Limited ("RC2", the "Company" or the "Group"), a closed-end investment company incorporated in the Cayman Islands admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, today announces its results for the six months ended 30 June 2020.

Copies of the company's interim financial statements will today be posted to shareholders. The interim report is also available on the Company's website http://www. reconstructioncapital2.com/.

Financial highlights

On 30 June 2020, Reconstruction Capital II Limited ("RC2") had a total unaudited net asset value ("NAV") of EUR19.5m or EUR0.1428 per share, which represents a 1.52% fall since the beginning of the year.

As at 30 June 2020, RC2 had cash and cash equivalents of approximately EUR10,000 while its subsidiary, RC2 (Cyprus) Ltd, had cash and cash equivalents of EUR68,000. Additionally, RC2 (Cyprus) Ltd had loan receivables from Telecredit and Mamaia Resort Hotels of EUR 1.5m. As at 30 June 2020, RC2 had sundry liabilities of EUR137,000.

Operational highlights

The Romanian and Bulgarian governments took timely measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 when the numbers of cases and fatalities were still relatively low compared to Western Europe. Although these measures, which were stricter in Romania, seemed to have suppressed the pandemic, once the restrictions in both countries were gradually lifted in mid-May, the number of cases has been rising to worrying levels with Romania and Bulgaria posting two of the highest rates of new cases in South-East Europe. At the end of July, Romania and Bulgaria were reporting 100 and 70 COVID-19 active cases per 100,000 inhabitants, respectively, compared to 22 and 19 active cases at the end of May.

The Policolor Group's January-June 2020 sales results were up 3.4% year-on-year at EUR 31.2m, albeit 13.9% below budget. Sales of coatings were badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and related lockdown restrictions during April, but sales of both coatings and resins have since recovered, making up some of the lost ground. Over the first half of 2020, the Policolor Group generated a recurring EBITDA (excluding revenues and expenses allocated to the real estate division) of EUR 2m, in line with the budget, helped by production efficiencies and operating cost savings.

Both Mamaia and Telecredit's operations have been badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and both management teams have prepared revised budgets to reflect the estimated impact of the pandemic on their respective businesses this year.

Following the finalization of the second phase of the renovation works on its public areas, and due to the Romanian authorities re-allowing open air restaurants to operate, the Mamaia hotel re-opened at the beginning of June. However, it is still not allowed to use its indoor restaurants, and is forced to restrict its food and beverage service to its outdoor terrace, where social distancing rules limit the number of customers. Management's revised 2020 budget for the Hotel envisages total revenues of EUR 2.0m instead of an originally planned EUR 3.2m, and a net loss of EUR -0.24m instead of an original estimated net profit of EUR 0.18m. In April, RC2 provided a EUR 0.3m loan to the Hotel to help finalize its planned renovation works. The loan was fully drawn by the end of May.

Telecredit deployed EUR 3.7m in financing products to small and medium sized enterprises in the first semester, generating an Operating Loss before Depreciation of EUR 0.2m due to increased provisions expenses, reflecting the difficulties small and medium-sized companies are currently facing due to the pandemic. The revised 2020 budget prepared by management anticipates a net loss of EUR 0.39m compared to an original estimated net profit of EUR 0.06m, due to lower financing volumes generating lower interest revenues (EUR 0.8m as opposed to an initial EUR 1m) and significantly higher provisions on SME lending (EUR 0.2m as opposed to an initial EUR 0.1m). The company reimbursed EUR 0.3m of the EUR 1.5m loan RC2 provided to Telecredit in the second half of 2019.

                               ADVISER'S REPORT 
                     For the six months ended 30 June 2020 
  On 30 June 2020, Reconstruction Capital II Limited ("RC2") had a total 
   unaudited net asset value ("NAV") of 
   EUR19.5m or EUR0.1428 per share, which represents a 1.52% fall since 
   the beginning of the year. 
 
   The Romanian and Bulgarian governments took timely measures to contain 
   the spread of COVID-19 when the numbers of cases and fatalities were 
   still relatively low compared to Western Europe. Although these measures, 
   which were stricter in Romania, seemed to have suppressed the pandemic, 
   once the restrictions in both countries were gradually lifted in mid-May, 
   the number of cases has been rising to worrying levels with Romania 
   and Bulgaria posting two of the highest rates of new cases in South-East 
   Europe. At the end of July, Romania and Bulgaria were reporting 100 
   and 70 COVID-19 active cases per 100,000 inhabitants, respectively, 
   compared to 22 and 19 active cases at the end of May. 
 
   The Policolor Group's January-June 2020 sales results were up 3.4% 
   year-on-year at EUR 31.2m, albeit 13.9% below budget. Sales of coatings 
   were badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and related lockdown 
   restrictions during April, but sales of both coatings and resins have 
   since recovered, making up some of the lost ground. Over the first 
   half of 2020, the Policolor Group generated a recurring EBITDA (excluding 
   revenues and expenses allocated to the real estate division) of EUR 
   2m, in line with the budget, helped by production efficiencies and 
   operating cost savings. 
 
   Both Mamaia and Telecredit's operations have been badly affected by 
   the COVID-19 pandemic, and both management teams have prepared revised 
   budgets to reflect the estimated impact of the pandemic on their respective 
   businesses this year. 
 
   Following the finalization of the second phase of the renovation works 
   on its public areas, and due to the Romanian authorities re-allowing 
   open air restaurants to operate, the Mamaia hotel re-opened at the 
   beginning of June. However, it is still not allowed to use its indoor 
   restaurants, and is forced to restrict its food and beverage service 
   to its outdoor terrace, where social distancing rules limit the number 
   of customers. Management's revised 2020 budget for the Hotel envisages 
   total revenues of EUR 2.0m instead of an originally planned EUR 3.2m, 
   and a net loss of EUR -0.24m instead of an original estimated net 
   profit of EUR 0.18m. In April, RC2 provided a EUR 0.3m loan to the 
   Hotel to help finalize its planned renovation works. The loan was 
   fully drawn by the end of May. 
 
   Telecredit deployed EUR 3.7m in financing products to small and medium 
   sized enterprises in the first semester, generating an Operating Loss 
   before Depreciation of EUR 0.2m due to increased provisions expenses, 
   reflecting the difficulties small and medium-sized companies are currently 
   facing due to the pandemic. The revised 2020 budget prepared by management 
   anticipates a net loss of EUR 0.39m compared to an original estimated 
   net profit of EUR 0.06m, due to lower financing volumes generating 
   lower interest revenues (EUR 0.8m as opposed to an initial 
   EUR 1m) and significantly higher provisions on SME lending (EUR 0.2m 
   as opposed to an initial EUR 0.1m). The company reimbursed EUR0.3m 
   of the EUR1.5m loan RC2 provided to Telecredit in the second half 
   of 2019. 
 
   As at 30 June 2020, RC2 had cash and cash equivalents of approximately 
   EUR10,000 while its subsidiary, RC2 (Cyprus) Ltd, had cash and cash
