Chairman's Report
The Fund has faced a difficult external context over the past twelve months,
with negative corrections in both the Bulgarian economy generally and
residential property markets. The Board has continued to manage the Fund's
operations carefully, given both this and the operating environment.
Two board changes were made on 9 September, with the appointment of Duncan Abbot
and resignation of Desmond Swayne. The Board wishes to thank Desmond Swayne for
his invaluable contribution over the past four years. Duncan Abbot's long
experience of both management and finance will prove to be of undoubted benefit
to the Board's management of the fund's operations.
The Company gave notice that the employment of Lewis Charles Securities as
Manager would be terminated at the end of September 2009. The Board has decided
to internalise the management with effect from the 1st October 2009. The
benefits of internalising the management are clear and should result in a
reduction of costs to the Fund.
The difficult trading conditions together with the problems with raising credit
in the Bulgarian banking market means that the Company is facing a tight cash
position. In these circumstances the Fund has effectively mothballed development
work on all of its projects in order to preserve cash. The Fund is seeking to
raise additional funds through either the sale of assets or through raising
equity or debt financing. This would allow the Fund to exercise the Bistritsa
buy-back option which expires is mid-December 2009 and to provide the Fund with
further working capital.
Finally, the published valuation NAV is currently 63 pence (EUR 74 cents) as at
30 June 2009, having fallen from 92 pence (EUR 96 cents) at the end of December
2008. However, your attention is drawn to the investment managers' comments on
valuations. The Board supports the Manager's opinion in that in these highly
abnormal markets, even these lower valuations are probably not achievable. The
accounting NAV of 60 pence (EUR 71 cents) as at 30 June 2009, from 87 pence (EUR
91 cents) per share at the end of December 2008. The end of June 2009 exchange
rate used is EUR/GBP 1.1728.

Investment Managers' Report
THE BULGARIAN ECONOMY
Preliminary GDP data for the first 6 months of the year show a 4.8% year-on-year
contraction, the worst performance since the 1996-97 crisis.
The contraction was broad-based with private consumption dropping by 8.2% year
on year and unemployment rising to 7.6% in July. Consumer confidence however has
recovered modestly over the last three months. Business confidence continues to
be poor and with restricted access to credit Bulgaria has seen a sharp
contraction in industrial production. With exports decreasing by 18.8% over the
past 3 months, and an even greater 26.9% decline in import volumes the 2009 H1
current account deficit has narrowed to just 6.3% of GDP from 25% of GDP in
2008. Net FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) inflows covered nearly 75% of that
gap, a considerable improvement from the 41% financing achieved in Q4 last year.
Similar coverage is expected during the rest of 2009.
On the positive side, inflation has fallen sharply - to just 1.6% in July -
providing some support to real household incomes that have been hit by rising
unemployment.
Whilst the 2nd half of 2009 is also expected to be difficult culminating in GDP
falling by around 4.75% for 2009 as a whole, 2010 should see a return to growth
of just over 1% followed by a more normal 4.2% in 2011 (Oxford Economics).
On the political front, the recent parliamentary election results gave the
populist centre-right GERB party (led by Sofia's mayor Boiko Borisov) 116 seats
in the 240 seat parliament, having won a convincing 39.7% of the vote on a 60.2%
turnout. Other rightist parties did well, with Attack (21 seats), the Blue
Coalition (15 seats) and Order, Law and Justice (10 seats) all promising to
support the minority GERB government. However, Prime Minister Borisov's decision
not to form a formal coalition and offer cabinet seats to allies risks
instability in the months ahead.
BULGARIAN PROPERTY MARKET UPDATE
The international financial crisis was reflected in a very difficult first six
months of 2009 for the residential property market. The de-leveraging of the
real estate sector and the difficulty of obtaining mortgage finance for
individual buyers caused a general fall in demand, supply and prices.
Construction and sales of residential property were adversely affected by the
financial limitations imposed by the banks. The number of mortgage approvals
fell by 80% on an annualised basis and banks are now offering mortgages of only
70% of the value of the property. The resort sector has been especially hard hit
as foreign buyers have been distracted by economic woes in their own home
markets.
According to data released in July by Bulgaria's National Statistics Institute
(NSI), residential property prices fell by 10% quarter-on-quarter during Q2 and
22% to 25% year-on-year. The highest decreases were in Ruse (-14.4%), Plovdiv
(-14.1%), Burgas (-12.3%) and Sofia (-12%). The average market price for
residential properties is now EUR 539 per square metre. The Black Sea capital,
Varna, has the highest prices (average EUR 913 per square metre) followed by Sofia
(EUR 872) and Burgas (EUR 736). Residential property prices are now approaching 2007
levels and the fall is especially marked in properties in the most popular price
range: EUR 50,000 - EUR 70,000. The only sector unaffected by the fall has been luxury
property in Sofia priced over EUR 1,500 per square metre, where demand still
exceeds supply.
The general steep fall in demand and financial de-leveraging of the sector has
caused the insolvency of many developers before their projects were completed.
Other developers took their projects off the market or tried to renegotiate
contracts with contractors to slowdown their projects or reduce costs. A handful
of apartment buildings were completed in Sofia but these were at the luxury end
of the market and priced above EUR 1,700 per square metre. They had high
specifications and the design trademarks necessary to endure current market
conditions.
Bank repossessions might have been expected to create a secondary supply market,
but overdue loans account for only 3.2% of residential mortgages. It is possible
that banks are prepared to overlook some defaults simply to avoid having to
absorb them on their balance sheets and have the additional problem of
maintaining the assets.
There is an overhang of unsold properties in Sofia at the middle to lower end of
the market and it is unlikely that any new developments will break ground during
the next 12 months. Recovery in the Sofia residential market is not expected to
occur before the end of 2010, and successful projects will probably be those
that have superior location, quality and design.

Note 1: The Group has terminated these contracts with BuySell and accordingly
they have been valued at Nil on the balance sheet.
Note 2: Some build areas are estimated subject to planning approval.
Note 3: Because of the provisions of IAS 2, some of these values may not be
fully reflected in the balance sheet. A full reconciliation between the
accounting NAV and the published valuation NAV is contained in the notes to the
Financial Statements.
As explained in the property report and the economic report, conditions are
extremely difficult in both the residential and commercial sectors of the
property market. Borrowing is tightening given that most banks are non Bulgarian
and any lending to the property market has been earmarked for their home
markets. The few buyers that are in the market are generally seeking distressed
assets and there is very little cash. Due to this very abnormal situation, the
Fund has effectively mothballed development work on all of its projects in order
to preserve cash. The Fund is seeking to raise additional funds through either
the sale of assets or through raising equity or debt financing. This would allow
the Fund to exercise the Bistritsa buy-back option which expires is mid-December
2009 and to provide the Fund with further working capital.
The valuations at the end of June were prepared by King Sturge in accordance
with the Appraisal and Valuation Standards, fifth edition, published by the
Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Whilst the valuations show a
further fall of 22% from the end of 2008 to end June 2009, it is the Manager's
opinion that in todays highly abnormal market it would be unlikely that even
these lower valuations could be achieved at the present time. It is also the
Manager's opinion that it could take some time for Bulgarian property markets to
begin to function normally.
1 GOVEDARCI
CRYSTAL VALE
The first phase of Crystal Vale has reached the stage of rough construction;
further work has been temporarily suspended due to weak domestic and
international market conditions. Sales operations will re-launch when market
recovery begins, possibly in Q2 2010. The Crystal Vale site has full Ministry
approval for residential use.
CRYSTAL GLADE
Crystal Glade is intended to be the sister resort to Crystal Vale. The two sites
are only 1 km apart and are located in the foothills of the Rila Mountains only
a few hundred metres from a ski lift. The site is also close to the ski resort
of Borovets and approx one hour's drive from Sofia airport. Crystal Glade has
now received full Ministry approval for residential use and will remain in the
land bank until Crystal Vale has been substantially completed.
2 BELI ISKAR
CRYSTAL HEIGHTS
This land is located on the edge of the picturesque village of Beli Iskar within
500 meters of the proposed site of the new ski gondola to the Borovets resort.
The land is still designated for agricultural use and will remain in the land
bank until market conditions encourage development of the site.
3 RAZLOG
PANORAMA VILLAS
Phase 1 of the Panorama Villas has reached the stage of rough construction;
further work has been temporarily suspended due to weak domestic and
international market conditions. The planned sales campaign would have coincided
with the worst phase of the international financial crisis and has been halted
pending a recovery in markets. Until Phase 1 of the project has been
substantially completed the remaining three phases will remain in the land bank.
NIRVANA
This undeveloped land plot will remain in the land bank.
4 PLOVDIV
ROMAN VIEW
It was decided not to proceed with the development of this excellent site in
central Plovdiv until economic conditions improve.
PLOVDIV REACH
This land plot is located beside the national rowing centre on the edge of
Plovdiv. It will remain in the land bank.
5 VELIKO TARNOVO
This land plot is located close to the city centre and has full residential
planning permission.
6 DOLNA BANYA
The Fund owns four separate plots of land in good locations and residential
planning permission in and around the town of Dolna Banya. It is intended that
they should remain in the land bank.
7 SOFIA - KAMBANITE BISTRITSA
The Fund was obliged to sell this land for EUR1.826 million in order to raise
cash for working capital purposes in January 2009, with an exclusive option to
repurchase the plot by 15 December 2009 for EUR4.0 million.
8 BANYA
This site has now been consolidated into three contiguous plots which have all
been removed from agricultural status. One of the plots has now received full
Ministry approval for residential use and planning applications will be made for
the other two.
9 SOFIA - VITOSHAVETS SIMEONOVO
The Fund had exercised seven options to purchase properties in Sofia situated in
the Vitoshavets Simeonovo, Krustovat and Dragalevtsi areas of Sofia. These
properties comprised residential villas and apartment developments, together
with shops, some small offices and parking to be developed by BuySell Real
Estate Agent Limited ('BuySell'), a Bulgarian incorporated property development
company.
The Company has rescinded six preliminary sales contracts of the seven options
entered into with BuySell and is taking steps to recover the sums paid under the
contract to date, and a penalty that is equal to 100% of the initial deposit
paid.
If BuySell do not pay the Fund all amounts due, it may be necessary for the Fund
to recover this money in the Bulgarian courts. The EUR 10,379,426 and a further
EUR 9,000,494 in penalties from BuySell may therefore be contingent on the
outcome of legal proceedings. The Board is currently considering its options in
relation to pursuing any legal claim.
The Fund took delivery of one building from BuySell in September 2008 (Project
55 - see Table). Sales of apartments in this building have progressed well
despite difficult market conditions, and sales have been concluded for well over
half of the apartments.

Notes to the condensed interim financial statements
for the 6 month period ended 30 June 2009
1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Lewis Charles Sofia Property Fund Limited (the `Company') is a closed-ended
investment company incorporated in Guernsey. The condensed financial statements
of the Company for the period ended 30 June 2009 comprise the Company and its
subsidiaries (together referred to as the `Group').
The unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (`IFRS') IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required
for the full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended
31 December 2008. The unaudited condensed interim financial statements were
approved by the board of directors on 28 September 2009.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the accounting
policies set out in the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended
31 December 2008 except for the adoption of standards described below. The
Group's annual financial statements refer to new Standards and Interpretations
none of which had a material impact on the financial statements.
IFRS 8 Operating Segments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2009) - This is a disclosure Standard that has had no impact on the
reported results or financial position of the Group.
IAS 1 (revised 2007) Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009) - The revised Standard has
introduced a number of terminology changes and has resulted in a number of
changes in presentation and disclosure. However, the revised Standard has had no
impact on the reported results or financial position of the Group.
IAS 23 Borrowing Costs (revised 2007) - The revised standard requires
capitalisation of interest on development properties.
2 EARNINGS PER SHARE - BASIC AND DILUTED
The consolidated deficit per Ordinary Share of 20.42 cents (2008: 1.84) is based
on the net revenue loss of ?1,779,005 (June 2008: ?1,979,615) and the net
capital loss for the period of ?8,093,432 (June 2008: Gain of ?1,091,894). Both
calculations are made based on 48,345,000 Ordinary Shares, being the weighted
average number of shares in issue during both periods.

The fair value of the Group's investment properties at 30 June 2009 and 31
December 2008 has been arrived at on the basis of valuations carried out at that
date by King Sturge Kft, independent valuers not connected to the Group.
The valuation basis has been market value as defined by the Royal Institute of
Chartered Surveyors (RICS). The approved RICS definition of market value is the
"estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation
between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arms length transaction after
proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and
without compulsion."
Included in the above is the Bistritsa project valued at ?15.46 million which
has been used for a financing. See note 5 for further details.

On 17 April 2009 the Group served a notice on BuySell to terminate the
development contract due to non performance. As a result of this termination
directors have decided to write down the carrying value of the BuySell project
to nil.
Remaining properties were valued on an open market basis as at 30 June 2009 by
King Sturge Kft, independent valuers not connected to the Group. As a result of
decrease in the market value of the properties, as determined by the valuers, an
impairment charge has been recognised on these properties as well.
The carrying value has been set as the lower of cost and net realisable value as
set out under the requirements of IAS 2, Inventories. The total carrying value
of all the properties impaired is 7,812,509.

An adjustment is required within the financial statements to record the value of
inventory from fair value, as used for the published Net Asset Value, to cost as
required to ensure compliance with International Accounting Standard 2,
"Inventories".
The Company's principal documents require the dealing valuation of the Company's
net assets to include preliminary expenses incurred in the establishment of the
Company, such expenses to be amortised over the expected life of the Company.
However, this accounting treatment is not permitted for financial reporting
purposes and has been adjusted accordingly within these financial statements.
