annual result/annual report
06.03.2013

During the reporting period, EEII's net asset value (NAV) decreased
by 56 % from CHF 22.44 to 9.77 per share. This large decrease is
partially explained by a dividend payment of CHF 3.50 per share,
which the Company announced and distributed to its shareholders in
the first quarter of 2012. This dividend payout to shareholders
amounted to CHF 5,343,533 and explains 16 % of the NAV decrease in
2012.

In absolute terms, the Company reports a net loss of CHF 13.4 million
(2011: net loss of CHF 7.6 million). The investment holdings of EEII
remained unchanged during the reporting period. The fair value of the
equity holdings thereby decreased by almost 50 % in 2012 (around CHF
13.8 million).

Beyond the dividend payout, the other economic key drivers for the
loss were the negative share price performances of the primary
investments in a deteriorating market environment. The Ukrainian
electricity companies in the portfolio of EEII suffered price
declines of almost 50 % while the share price of Ukrnafta, the
leading Ukrainian oil and gas producer, decreased by 68 % and Gazprom
lost 13 % in value in 2012. Also the Kazakh, UK listed natural
resources group Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation "ENRC" could
not escape the general downtrend in the natural resources sector, and
more than halved its share value in 2012.
