Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 December 2022

 

1. General Information

 

Country of incorporation

 

SECURE PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT & INVESTMENT PLC (the ''Company'') was incorporated in Cyprus on 23 June 2005 and is a public limited liability company, listed on the London Stock Exchange (AIM): ISIN CY0102102213. Its registered office is at Kyriakou Matsi 16, Eagle House, 10th floor, Agioi Omologites, 1082 Nicosia, Cyprus while its principal place of business is in Cyprus at 6 Nikiforou Foka Street, 1060 Nicosia, Cyprus.

 

Principal activities

 

The principal activities of the Group are to invest directly or indirectly in and/or manage real estate properties, as well as real estate development projects in South East Europe (the "Region"). These include the acquisition, development, commercializing, operating and selling of property assets in the Region.

 

The Group maintains offices in Nicosia, Cyprus, Bucharest, Romania and  Kiev, Ukraine.

 

As at 31 December 2022, the companies of the Group employed and/or used the services of 10 full time equivalent people, (2021 à 15 full time equivalent people).

 

2. Basis of preparation

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap.113. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost as modified by the revaluation of investment property and investment property under construction, of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and requires Management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. It also requires the use of assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on Management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

Following certain conditional agreement signed in December 2018 with Arcona Property Fund N.V for the sale of Company's non-Greek portfolio of assets, the Company classifies its assets since 2018 as discontinued operations (Note 4.3) .

Going concern basis

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

In particular, the Company is in a process of disposing of its portfolio of assets in an all share transaction with Arcona Property Fund N.V., meaning that as soon as this transaction consummates the Company will be left with its corporate receivables and liabilities.

These conditions raise some doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are available to be issued. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon positive future cash flows.

Management believes that the Company will be able to finance its needs given the fact that the additional corporate receivables, as well as the consideration received in the form of Arcona shares is estimated that it can effectively discharge all corporate liabilities. At the same time, the transaction with Arcona Property Fund N.V., which is a cash flow generating entity, will result in the Company being a significant shareholder, entitled to dividends according to the dividend policy of Arcona Property Fund N.V.

 

 

3. Adoption of new and revised Standards and Interpretations

 

During the current year the Company adopted all the new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting periods beginning on 1 January 2022. This adoption did not have a material effect on the accounting policies of the Company.

4. Significant accounting policies

 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented in these consolidated financial statements unless otherwise stated.

 

Local statutory accounting principles and procedures differ from those generally accepted under IFRS. Accordingly, the consolidated financial information, which has been prepared from the local statutory accounting records for the entities of the Group domiciled in Cyprus, Romania, and Ukraine reflects adjustments necessary for such consolidated financial information to be presented in accordance with IFRS.

 

4.1 Basis of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities (including special purpose entities) controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries).

 

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

 

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree's identifiable net assets.

 

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss.

 

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with IAS 39, either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

 

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.

 

Business combinations that took place prior to 1 January 2010 were accounted for in accordance with the previous version of IFRS 3.

 

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Group's accounting policies.

 

Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control and Disposal of Subsidiaries

 

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions - that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals of non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

 

When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

 

 

 

 

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

4.2 Functional and presentation currency

 

Items included in the Group's financial statements are measured applying the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entities operate (''the functional currency''). The national currency of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Hryvnia, is the functional currency for all the Group's entities located in Ukraine, the Romanian leu is the functional currency for all Group's entities located in Romania, and the Euro is the functional currency for all Cypriot subsidiaries.

 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro, which is the Group's presentation currency.

 

As Management records the consolidated financial information of the entities domiciled in Cyprus, Romania, Ukraine in their functional currencies, in translating financial information of the entities domiciled in these countries into Euro for inclusion in the consolidated financial statements, the Group follows a translation policy in accordance with IAS 21, "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates", and the following procedures are performed:

 

·             All assets and liabilities are translated at closing rate;

·             Equity of the Group has been translated using the historical rates;

·             Income and expense items are translated using exchange rates at the dates of the transactions, or where this is not practicable the average rate has been used;

·             All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity;

·             When a foreign operation is disposed of through sale, liquidation, repayment of share capital or abandonment of all, or part of that entity, the exchange differences deferred in equity are reclassified to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as part of the gain or loss on sale;

·             Monetary items receivable from foreign operations for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future and in substance are part of the Group's net investment in those foreign operations are recongised initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the foreign operation.

 

The relevant exchange rates of the European and local central banks used in translating the financial information of the entities from the functional currencies into Euro are as follows:

 

	Average		31 December
Currency	2022	2021	2022	2021	2020
USD	1,0530	1,1827	1,0666	1,1326	1,2270
UAH	33,9820	32,3009	38,9510	30,9226	34,7396
RON	4,9315	4,9204	4,9474	4,9481	4,8694

 

4.3 Discontinued operations

 

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which:

 

·      represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations;

·      is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations; or

·      is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

 

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale.

 

When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit or loss and OCI is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.

 

4.4 Investment Property at fair value

 

Investment property, comprising freehold and leasehold land, investment properties held for future development, warehouse and office properties, as well as the residential property units, is held for long term rental yields and/or for capital appreciation and is not occupied by the Group. Investment property and investment property under construction are carried at fair value, representing open market value determined annually by external valuers. Changes in fair values are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income and are included in other operating income.

 

A number of the land leases (all in Ukraine) are held for relatively short terms and place an obligation upon the lessee to complete development by a predetermined date. It is important to note that the rights to complete a development may be lost or at least delayed if the lessee fails to complete a permitted development within the timescale set out by the ground lease.

 

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

4.4 Investment Property at fair value (continued)

 

In addition, in the event that a development has not commenced upon the expiry of a lease then the City Authorities are entitled to decline the granting of a new lease on the basis that the land is not used in accordance with the designation. Furthermore, where all necessary permissions and consents for the development are not in place, this may provide the City Authorities with grounds for rescinding or non-renewal of the ground lease. However Management believes that the possibility of such action is remote and was made only under limited circumstances in the past.

 

Management has noticed that rescinding or non-renewal of the ground lease is remote if a project is on the final stage of development or on the operating cycle. In undertaking the valuations reported herein, the valuer of Ukrainian properties, CBRE, has made the assumption that no such circumstances will arise to permit the City Authorities to rescind the land lease or not to grant a renewal.

 

Land held under operating lease is classified and accounted for as investment property when the rest of the definition is met.

 

Investment property under development or construction initially is measured at cost, including related transaction costs.

 

The property is classified in accordance with the intention of the management for its future use. Intention to use is determined by the Board of Directors after reviewing market conditions, profitability of the projects, ability to finance the project and obtaining required construction permits.

 

The time point, when the intention of the management is finalized is the date of start of construction. At the moment of start of construction, freehold land, leasehold land and investment properties held for a future redevelopment are reclassified into investment property under development or inventory in accordance to the final decision of management.

 

Initial measurement and recognition

Investment property is measured initially at cost, including related transaction costs. Investment properties are derecognized when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period of retirement or disposal.

 

Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by the end of owner occupation, or the commencement of an operating lease to third party. Transfers are made from investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by commencement of owner occupation or commencement of development with a view to sale.

 

If an investment property becomes owner occupied, it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, and its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for accounting purposes. Property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property is classified as investment property under construction until construction or development is complete. At that time, it is reclassified and subsequently accounted for as investment property.

 

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is stated at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

 

If a valuation obtained for an investment property held under a lease is net of all payments expected to be made, any related liabilities/assets recognized separately in the statement of financial position are added back/reduced to arrive at the carrying value of the investment property for accounting purposes.

 

Subsequent expenditure is charged to the asset's carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

 

Basis of valuation

The fair values reflect market conditions at the financial position date. These valuations are prepared annually by chartered surveyors (hereafter "appraisers"). The Group appointed valuers in 2014, which remain the same in 2022:

·      CBRE Ukraine, for all its Ukrainian properties,

·      NAI Real Act for all its Romanian properties.

 

The valuations have been carried out by the appraisers on the basis of Market Value in accordance with the appropriate sections of the current Practice Statements contained within the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors ("RICS") Valuation - Global Standards (2018) (the "Red Book") and is also compliant with the International Valuation Standards (IVS).

 

"Market Value" is defined as: "The estimated amount for which a property should be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's-length transaction after proper marketing actions, wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion".

 

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

4.4 Investment Property at fair value (continued)

 

Basis of valuation (continued)

 

In expressing opinions on Market Value, in certain cases the appraisers have estimated net annual rentals/income from sale. These are assessed on the assumption that they are the best rent/sale prices at which a new letting/sale of an interest in property would have been completed at the date of valuation assuming: a willing landlord/buyer; that prior to the date of valuation there had been a reasonable period (having regard to the nature of the property and the state of the market) for the proper marketing of the interest, for the agreement of the price and terms and for the completion of the letting/sale; that the state of the market, levels of value and other circumstances were, on any earlier assumed date of entering into an agreement for lease/sale, the same as on the valuation date; that no account is taken of any additional bid by a prospective tenant/buyer with a special interest; that the principal deal conditions assumed to apply are the same as in the market at the time of valuation; that both parties to the transaction had acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

 

A number of properties are held by way of ground leasehold interests granted by the City Authorities. The ground rental payments of such interests may be reviewed on an annual basis, in either an upwards or downwards direction, by reference to an established formula. Within the terms of the lease, there is a right to extend the term of the lease upon expiry in line with the existing terms and conditions thereof. In arriving at opinions of Market Value, the appraisers assumed that the respective ground leases are capable of extension in accordance with the terms of each lease. In addition, given that such interests are not assignable, it was assumed that each leasehold interest is held by way of a special purpose vehicle ("SPV"), and that the shares in the respective SPVs are transferable.

 

With regard to each of the properties considered, in those instances where project documentation has been agreed with the respective local authorities, opinions of the appraisers of value have been based on such agreements.

 

In those instances where the properties are held in part ownership, the valuations assume that these interests are saleable in the open market without any restriction from the co-owner and that there are no encumbrances within the share agreements which would impact the sale ability of the properties concerned.

 

The valuation is exclusive of VAT and no allowances have been made for any expenses of realization or for taxation which might arise in the event of a disposal of any property.

 

In some instances the appraisers constructed a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. DCF analysis is a financial modeling technique based on explicit assumptions regarding the prospective income and expenses of a property or business. The analysis is a forecast of receipts and disbursements during the period concerned. The forecast is based on the assessment of market prices for comparable premises, build rates, cost levels etc. from the point of view of a probable developer.

 

To these projected cash flows, an appropriate, market-derived discount rate is applied to establish an indication of the present value of the income stream associated with the property. In this case, it is a development property and thus estimates of capital outlays, development costs, and anticipated sales income are used to produce net cash flows that are then discounted over the projected development and marketing periods. The Net Present Value (NPV) of such cash flows could represent what someone might be willing to pay for the site and is therefore an indicator of market value. All the payments are projected in nominal US Dollar/Euro amounts and thus incorporate relevant inflation measures.

 

Valuation Approach

In addition to the above general valuation methodology, the appraisers have taken into account in arriving at Market Value the following:

 

Pre Development

In those instances where the nature of the 'Project' has been defined, it was assumed that the subject property will be developed in accordance with this blueprint. The final outcome of the development of the property is determined by the Board of Directors decision, which is based on existing market conditions, profitability of the project, ability to finance the project and obtaining required construction permits.

 

Development

In terms of construction costs, the budgeted costs have been taken into account in considering opinions of value. However, the appraisers have also had regard to current construction rates prevailing in the market which a prospective purchaser may deem appropriate to adopt in constructing each individual scheme. Although in some instances the appraisers have adopted the budgeted costs provided, in some cases the appraisers' own opinions of costs were used.

 

Post Development

Rental values have been assessed as at the date of valuation but having regard to the existing occupational markets taking into account the likely supply and demand dynamics during the anticipated development period. The standard letting fees were assumed within the valuations. In arriving at their estimates of gross development value ("GDV"), the appraisers have capitalized their opinion of net operating income, having deducted any anticipated non-recoverable expenses, such as land payments, and permanent void allowance, which has then been capitalized into perpetuity.

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

4.4 Investment Property at fair value (continued)

 

Valuation Approach (continued)

 

The capitalization rates adopted in arriving at the opinions of GDV reflect the appraisers' opinions of the rates at which the properties could be sold as at the date of valuation.

 

In terms of residential developments, the sales prices per sq. m. again reflect current market conditions and represent those levels the appraisers consider to be achievable at present. It was assumed that there are no irrecoverable operating expenses and that all costs will be recovered from the occupiers/owners by way of a service charge.

 

The valuations take into account the requirement to pay ground rental payments and these are assumed not to be recoverable from the occupiers. In terms of ground rent payments, the appraisers have assessed these on the basis of information available, and if not available they have calculated these payments based on current legislation defining the basis of these assessments.

 

4.5 Goodwill

 

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

 

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units (or Groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

 

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized directly in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

 

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

 

4.6 Property, Plant and equipment and intangible assets

 

Property, plant and equipment and intangible non-current assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

 

Properties in the course of construction for production, rental or administrative purposes, or for purposes not yet determined and intangibles not inputted into exploitation, are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Group's accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

 

Depreciation and amortization are calculated on the straight‑line basis so as to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life. The annual depreciation rates are as follows:

 

Type	%
Leasehold	20
IT hardware	33
Motor vehicles	25
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment	20
Machinery and equipment	15
Software and Licenses	33

 

No depreciation is charged on land.

 

Assets held under leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, the term of the relevant lease.

 

The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted, if appropriate, at each reporting date.

 

Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, the asset is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

 

 

 

 

 

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

4.6 Property, Plant and equipment and intangible assets (continued)

 

Expenditure for repairs and maintenance of tangible and intangible assets is charged to the statement of comprehensive income of the year in which it is incurred. The cost of major renovations and other subsequent expenditure are included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Group. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.

 

An item of tangible and intangible assets is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

 

4.7 Cash and Cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

 

4.8 Assets held for sale

 

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use.

Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets or investment property, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group's other accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held-for-sale or held-for-distribution and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.

4.9 Financial Instruments

 

4.9.1 Recognition and initial measurement

 

Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

 

4.9.2 Classification and subsequent measurement

 

Financial assets

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortised cost; FVOCI - debt investment; FVOCI - equity investment; or FVTPL.

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

-           it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

-           its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

-           it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

-       its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

 

 

 

 

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

4.9 Financial Instruments (continued)

 

4.9.2 Classification and subsequent measurement (continued)

 

Financial assets - Business model assessment:

The Group makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:

-           the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether management's strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realising cash flows through the sale of the assets;

-           how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group's management;

-           the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;

-           how managers of the business are compensated - e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and

the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales activity.

 

Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for this purpose, consistent with the Group's continuing recognition of the assets.

 

Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at FVTPL.

 

Financial assets - Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest:

For the purposes of this assessment, 'principal' is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. 'Interest' is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Group considers:

-           contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;

-           terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate features;

-           prepayment and extension features; and

-           terms that limit the Group's claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).

 

A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a discount or premium to its contractual par amount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.

 

Financial assets - Subsequent measurement and gains and losses:

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss. However for derivatives designated as hedging instruments.

Financial assets at amortised cost

These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.

 

Debt investments at FVOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVOCI                                                                                         

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

 

 

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

4.9 Financial Instruments (continued)

 

4.9.3 Derecognition

 

Financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised in its statement of financial position, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognised.

Financial liabilities

The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.

 

4.9.4 Offsetting

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

4.9.5 Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

 

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting 

The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met.

Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognised in profit or loss.

The Group designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments to hedge the variability in cash flows associated with highly probable forecast transactions arising from changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates and certain derivatives and non-derivative financial liabilities as hedges of foreign exchange risk on a net investment in a foreign operation.

At inception of designated hedging relationships, the Group documents the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Group also documents the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including whether the changes in cash flows of the hedged item and hedging instrument are expected to offset each other.

Cash flow hedges

When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in OCI and accumulated in the hedging reserve. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative that is recognised in OCI is limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item, determined on a present value basis, from inception of the hedge. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The Group designates only the change in fair value of the spot element of forward exchange contracts as the hedging instrument in cash flow hedging relationships. The change in fair value of the forward element of forward exchange contracts ('forward points') is separately accounted for as a cost of hedging and recognised in a costs of hedging reserve within equity.

When the hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial item such as inventory, the amount accumulated in the hedging reserve and the cost of hedging reserve is included directly in the initial cost of the non-financial item when it is recognised.

For all other hedged forecast transactions, the amount accumulated in the hedging reserve and the cost of hedging reserve is reclassified to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss.

If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or the hedging instrument is sold, expires, is terminated or is exercised, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. When hedge accounting for cash flow hedges is discontinued, the amount that has been accumulated in the hedging reserve remains in equity until, for a hedge of a transaction resulting in the recognition of a non-financial item, it is included in the non-financial item's cost on its initial recognition or, for other cash flow hedges, it is reclassified to profit or loss in the same period or periods as the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss.

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

4.9 Financial Instruments (continued)

 

4.9.5 Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting (continued)

 

If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, then the amounts that have been accumulated in the hedging reserve and the cost of hedging reserve are immediately reclassified to profit or loss.

Net investment hedges

When a derivative instrument or a non-derivative financial liability is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, the effective portion of, for a derivative, changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument or, for a non-derivative, foreign exchange gains and losses is recognised in OCI and presented in the translation reserve within equity. Any ineffective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivative or foreign exchange gains and losses on the non-derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The amount recognised in OCI is reclassified to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment on disposal of the foreign operation.

4.10 Leases

 

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

 

the contract involves the use of an identified asset this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;

 

the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

 

the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has this right when it has the decision making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:

 

the Company has the right to operate the asset; or

the Company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

 

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Company has elected not to separate non lease components and account for the lease and non lease components as a single lease component.

 

The Company as lessor

 

When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.

To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

 

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub lease with reference to the right of use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub lease as an operating lease.

 

If an arrangement contains lease and non lease components, the Company applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

The Company recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight line basis over the lease term as part of 'other income'.

 

The accounting policies applicable to the Company as a lessor in the comparative period were not different from IFRS 16. However, when the Company was an intermediate lessor the sub leases were classified with reference to the underlying asset.

 

The Company as lessee

 

The Company recognises a right of use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

 

 

 

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

4.10 Leases (continued)

 

The Company as lessee (continued)

 

The right of use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right of use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of the right of use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right of use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate.

 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

fixed payments, including in substance fixed payments;

variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencementdate;

amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

 

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

 

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right of use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right of use asset has been reduced to zero.

 

The Company presents its right of use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in 'Property, plant and equipment' in the statement of financial position.

 

The lease liabilities are presented in 'loans and borrowings'in the statement of financial position.

 

Short term leases and leases of low value assets

 

The Company has elected not to recognise the right of use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets (i.e. IT equipment, office equipment etc.). The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.

 

4.11 Borrowings

 

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, using the effective interest method, unless they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, in which case they are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset.

 

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extend there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a prepayment and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

 

Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that the Group incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds, including interest on borrowings, amortization of discounts or premium relating to borrowings, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings, finance lease charges and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.

 

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, being an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset, when it is probable that they will result in future economic benefits to the Group and the costs can be measured reliably.

 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities, unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

 

 

 

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

4.12 Tenant security deposits

 

Tenant security deposits represent financial advances made by lessees as guarantees during the lease and are repayable by the Group upon termination of the contracts. Tenant security deposits are recognized at nominal value.

 

4.13 Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

 

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

 

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment loss annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

 

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre‑tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

 

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash‑generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash‑generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

 

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash‑generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (cash‑generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

 

4.14 Share Capital

 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

 

4.15 Share premium

 

The difference between the fair value of the consideration received by the shareholders and the nominal value of the share capital being issued is taken to the share premium account.

 

4.16 Share-based compensation

 

The Group had in the past and intends in the future to operate a number of equity-settled, share-based compensation plans, under which the Group receives services from Directors and/or employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Group. The fair value of the Director and employee cost related to services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognized as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, excluding the impact of any non-market service and performance vesting conditions. The total amount expensed is recognized over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At each financial position date, the Group revises its estimates on the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the statement of comprehensive income, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital and share premium when the options are exercised.

 

4.17 Provisions

 

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal, tax or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. As at the reporting date the Group has settled all its construction liabilities.

 

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material).

 

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

 

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

4.18 Non‑current liabilities

 

Non‑current liabilities represent amounts that are due in more than twelve months from the reporting date.

 

4.19 Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. It is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the revenue can be measured reliably. Revenue earned by the Group is recognized on the following bases:

 

4.20.1 Income from investing activities

 

Income from investing activities includes profit received from disposal of investments in the Company's subsidiaries and associates and income accrued on advances for investments outstanding as at the year end.

 

4.20.2 Dividend income

 

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholders' right to receive payment has been established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably).

 

4.20.3 Interest income

 

Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion (accrual) basis, using the effective interest rate method.

 

4.20.4 Rental income

 

Rental income arising from operating leases on investment property is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreements.

 

4.20 Service charges and expenses recoverable from tenants

 

Income arising from expenses recharged to tenants is recognized on an accrual basis.

 

4.21 Other property expenses

 

Irrecoverable running costs directly attributable to specific properties within the Group's portfolio are charged to the statement of comprehensive income. Costs incurred in the improvement of the assets which, in the opinion of the directors, are not of a capital nature are written off to the statement of comprehensive income as incurred.

 

4.22 Borrowing costs

 

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

 

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

 

All other borrowing costs are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred as interest costs which are calculated using the effective interest rate method, net result from transactions with securities, foreign exchange gains and losses, and bank charges and commission.

 

4.23 Asset Acquisition Related Transaction Expenses

 

Expenses incurred by the Group for acquiring a subsidiary or associate company as part of an Investment Property and are directly attributable to such acquisition are recognized within the cost of the Investment Property and are subsequently accounted as per the Group's accounting Policy for Investment Property subsequent measurement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

4.24 Taxation

 

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

 

4.24.1 Current tax

 

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

 

4.24.2 Deferred tax

 

Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Currently enacted tax rates are used in the determination of deferred tax.

 

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxes relate to the same fiscal authority.

 

4.24.3 Current and deferred tax for the year

 

Current and deferred tax are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

 

The operational subsidiaries of the Group are incorporated in Ukraine and Romania, while the Parent and some holding companies are incorporated in Cyprus. The Group's management and control is exercised in Cyprus.

 

The Group's Management does not intend to dispose of any asset, unless a significant opportunity arises. In the event that a decision is taken in the future to dispose of any asset it is the Group's intention to dispose of shares in subsidiaries rather than assets. The corporate income tax exposure on disposal of subsidiaries is mitigated by the fact that the sale would represent a disposal of the securities by a non‑resident shareholder and therefore would be exempt from tax. The Group is therefore in a position to control the reversal of any temporary differences and as such, no deferred tax liability has been provided for in the financial statements.

 

4.24.4 Withholding Tax

 

The Group follows the applicable legislation as defined in all double taxation treaties (DTA) between Cyprus and any of the countries of Operations (Romania, Ukraine,). In the case of Romania, as the latter is part of the European Union, through the relevant directives the withholding tax is reduced to NIL subject to various conditions.

 

4.24.5 Dividend distribution

 

Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Group's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders.

 

4.25 Value added tax

 

VAT levied at various jurisdictions were the Group is active, was at the following rates, as at the end of the reporting period:

 

·      20% on Ukrainian domestic sales and imports of goods, works and services and 0% on export of goods and provision of works or services to be used outside Ukraine.

·      19% on Cyprus domestic sales and imports of goods, works and services and 0% on export of goods and provision of works or services to be used outside Cyprus.

·      19% on Romanian domestic sales and imports of goods, works and services (decreased from 20% from 1 January 2017) and 0% on export of goods and provision of works or services to be used outside Romania.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

4.26 Operating segments analysis

 

Segment reporting is presented on the basis of Management's perspective and relates to the parts of the Group that are defined as operating segments. Operating segments are identified on the basis of their economic nature and through internal reports provided to the Group's Management who oversee operations and make decisions on allocating resources serve. These internal reports are prepared to a great extent on the same basis as these consolidated financial statements.

 

For the reporting period the Group has identified the following material reportable segments, where the Group is active in acquiring, holding, managing and disposing:

 

Commercial-Industrial	Residential	Land Assets
·      Warehouse segment ·      Office segment ·      Retail segment	·      Residential segment	·      Land assets - the Group owns a number of land assets which are either available for sale or for potential development

 

The Group also monitors investment property assets on a Geographical Segmentation, namely the country where its property is located.

 

4.27 Earnings and Net Assets value per share

 

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) and net asset value per share (NAV) for its ordinary shares.

 

Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing net profit/loss for the year, attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Basic NAV amounts are calculated by dividing net asset value as at year end, attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the number of ordinary shares outstanding at the end of the year.

 

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net profit/loss for the year, attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the potentially dilutive ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

 

Diluted NAV is calculated by dividing net asset value as at year end, attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent with the number of ordinary shares outstanding at year end plus the number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the potentially dilutive ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

 

4.28 Comparative Period

 

Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current year.

 

5. New accounting pronouncement

Standards issued but not yet effective

Up to the date of approval of the financial statements, certain new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards have been published that are not yet effective for the current reporting period and which the Company has not early adopted, as follows:

 

New standards

·             IFRS 17 ''Insurance Contracts'' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024).

Amendments

·             Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non‑current (issued on 23 January 2020 and 15 July 2020 respectively) (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024).

·             Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies: Non- current Liabilites with Covenants (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)

·             The above are expected to have no significant impact on the Company's financial statements when they become effective.

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Critical accounting estimates and judgments

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and requires Management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. It also requires the use of assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on Management's best knowledge of current events and actions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results though may ultimately differ from those estimates.

 

As the Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future, the resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:

 

·        Provision for impairment of receivables

The Group reviews its trade and other receivables for evidence of their recoverability. Such evidence includes the counter party's payment record, and overall financial position, as well as the state's ability to pay its dues (VAT receivable). If indications of non-recoverability exist, the recoverable amount is estimated and a respective provision for impairment of receivables is made. The amount of the provision is charged through profit or loss. The review of credit risk is continuous and the methodology and assumptions used for estimating the provision are reviewed regularly and adjusted accordingly. As at the reporting date Management did not consider necessary to make a provision for impairment of receivables.

 

·        Fair value of financial assets

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Company uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each reporting date. The fair value of the financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income has been estimated based on the fair value of these individual assets.

 

·             Fair value of investment property

The fair value of investment property is determined by using various valuation techniques. The Group selects accredited professional valuers with local presence to perform such valuations. Such valuers use their judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each financial reporting date. The fair value has been estimated as at 31 December 2022 (Note 19.2).

 

·             Income taxes

Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

 

·              Impairment of tangible assets

Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

 

·              Provision for deferred taxes

Deferred tax is not provided in respect of the revaluation of the investment property and investment property under development as the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of this temporary difference and the Management has intention not to reverse the temporary difference in the foreseeable future. The properties are held by subsidiary companies in Ukraine, Greece and Romania. Management estimates that the assets will be realized through a share deal rather than through an asset deal. Should any subsidiary be disposed of, the gains generated from the disposal will be exempt from any tax.

 

·              Application of IFRS 10

The Group has considered the application of IFRS 10 and concluded that the Company is not an Investment Entity as defined by IFRS 10 and it should continue to consolidate all of its investments, as in 2016. The reasons for such conclusion are among others that the Company continues:

a)   not to be an Investment Management Service provider to Investors,

b)   to actively manages its own portfolio (leasing, development, allocation of capital expenditure for its properties, marketing etc.) in order to provide benefits other than capital appreciation and/or investment income,

c)   to have investments that are not bound by time in relation to the exit strategy nor to the way that are being exploited,

d)   to provide asset management services to its subsidiaries, as well as loans and guarantees (directly or indirectly),

e)  even though is using Fair Value metrics in evaluating its investments, this is being done primarily for presentation purposes rather that evaluating income generating capability and making investment decisions. The latter is being based on metrics like IRR, ROE and others.

 

 

7. Risk Management

 

7.1 Financial risk factors

 

The Group is exposed to operating country risk, real estate property holding and development associated risks, property market price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, other market price risk, operational risk, compliance risk, litigation risk, reputation risk, capital risk and other risks, arising from the financial instruments it holds. The risk management policies employed by the Group to manage these risks are discussed below.

 

7.1.1 Operating Country Risks

 

The Group is exposed to risks stemming from the political and economic environment of countries in which it operates. Notably:

 

7.1.1.1 Ukraine

 

The risk associated with Company's interests in Ukraine has increased dramatically with the invasion of the country by Russia in February 2022. Currently, the political and economic risks associated with Company's activities in the region do not really allow for any relevant assessment for the future. 

The fall in Ukraine's GDP by the end of 2022 is estimated at the level of 30.4% (±2%), which is a better indicator than predicted by previous forecasts. In 2022, the Ukrainian hryvnia significantly depreciated against major foreign currencies. As at 31 December 2022, the official exchange rate of the National Bank of Ukraine to the US dollar was 36.5686 hryvnias, and to the euro was 38.951 hryvnias (as at 31 December 2021: 27.2782 and 30.9226, respectively). The war also affected the assessment of Ukraine's solvency by international rating agencies. In 2022 Standard & Poor's credit rating for Ukraine stood at CCC+ with stable outlook. Moody's credit rating for Ukraine was last set at Caa3 with negative outlook (increased in February 2023 up to Ca with stable outlook). Fitch's credit rating for Ukraine was last reported at CC.

The Company owns land plots in Ukraine, either in Kiev or close to the capital, reported at time of publishing still under Ukrainian control. The plots do not generate income and therefore the cash flow of the Group is not affected by the invasion.

The Management, given the associated uncertainty, decided to value Ukrainian assets lower than the current values as provided by the third-party valuers (CBRE Ukraine). As a result, the Ukrainian assets contribute €1,92 million in Group's assets, as compared to €3,11 million provided by the valuers and €3,6 million in 2021 accounts.

Moreover, the war, as well as the preceded tensions during the previous period, affect also the land  leaseholds that the Company has in the country. In particular, as of November 2021, the Group had submitted properly the official request to the City of Kiev to extend the lease of Tsymlyanskiy Residence property for another 5 years, since the Group has first extension rights over any other interested party. The first step in the process whereby the presiding committee of the municipality, before the final approval by the City Council, did not place as many other cases had accumulated which had time priority over Group's case. During the period between December 15th 2021 and January 20th of 2022, the committee did not convene at all as is usual during holiday and vacation times. Once the holiday season was over, the main focus of the committee and the City Council unfortunately were on issues not related to property lease extensions, but rather more pressing matters for the interests and operational stability of the City of Kiev. From there on, all decisions have been put on hold due to the Russian insurgence of Ukraine. The Management remains confident that the Group will be awarded the lease extension once the war status permits. However, as a result of such development, commencing from H1 2022 the asset does not contribute value to Group's assets. The Management will monitor developments in the country and change policy as appropriate.

The Company will revert to inform investors upon having a clearer view on the developments associated with the conflict and its consequences on real estate assets.

7.1.1.2 Romania

 

Romanian economy grew significantly by 4,8% in 2022 driven by strong private consumption and robust investment despite the ongoing war in neighboring Ukraine and the high inflation rate from the increased energy prices which prevailed throughout the period. Economic prospects are reported moderate on the back of the continuing conflict in the region and the high interest rates. At the same time, estimates for the fiscal and current account deficits remain elevated as a result of the social and economic measures adopted by the Government for the support of low income citizens, weakening the macroeconomic indicators and therefore increasing the associated risk.

 

 

 

 

7. Risk Management (continued)

 

7.1 Financial risk factors (continued)

 

7.1.2 Risks associated with property holding and development associated risks

 

Several factors may affect the economic performance and value of the Group's properties, including: 

·      risks associated with construction activity at the properties, including delays, the imposition of liens and defects in workmanship;

·      the ability to collect rent from tenants on a timely basis or at all, taking also into account currency rapid devaluation risk;

·      the amount of rent and the terms on which lease renewals and new leases are agreed being less favorable than current leases;

·      cyclical fluctuations in the property market generally;

·      local conditions such as an oversupply of similar properties or a reduction in demand for the properties;

·      the attractiveness of the property to tenants or residential purchasers;

·      decreases in capital valuations of property;

·      changes in availability and costs of financing, which may affect the sale or refinancing of properties;

·      covenants, conditions, restrictions and easements relating to the properties;

·      changes in governmental legislation and regulations, including but not limited to designated use, allocation, environmental usage, taxation and insurance;

·      the risk of bad or unmarketable title due to failure to register or perfect our interests or the existence of prior claims, encumbrances or charges of which we may be unaware at the time of purchase;

·      the possibility of occupants in the properties, whether squatters or those with legitimate claims to take possession;

·      the ability to pay for adequate maintenance, insurance and other operating costs, including taxes, which could increase over time; and

·      political uncertainty, acts of terrorism and acts of nature, such as earthquakes and floods that may damage the properties.

 

7.1.3 Property Market price risk

 

Market price risk is the risk that the value of the Group's portfolio investments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. The Group's assets are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future prices of the investments. The Group's market price risk is managed through diversification of the investment portfolio, continuous elaboration of the market conditions and active asset management. To quantify the value of its assets and/or indicate the possibility of impairment losses, the Group commissioned internationally acclaimed valuers.

 

7.1.4 Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.

 

The Group's income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates as the Group has no significant interest‑bearing assets apart from its cash balances that are mainly kept for liquidity purposes.

 

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. All of the Group's borrowings are issued at a variable interest rate. Management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly.

 

7.1.5 Credit risk

 

Credit risk arises when a failure by counter parties to discharge their obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets at hand at the end of the reporting period. Cash balances are held with high credit quality financial institutions and the Group has policies to limit the amount of credit exposure to any financial institution.

 

7.1.6 Currency risk

 

Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

Currency risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Group's functional currency. Excluding the transactions in Ukraine, all of the Group's transactions, including the rental proceeds are denominated or pegged to EUR. In Ukraine, even though there is no recurring income stream, the fluctuations of UAH against EUR entails significant FX risk for the Group in terms of its local assets valuation. Management monitors the exchange rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly, although there are no available financial tools for hedging the exposure on UAH. It should be noted though that the current war in Ukraine causing economic and political problems, as well as any probable currency devaluation may affect Group's financial position.

 

 

 

7. Risk Management (continued)

 

7.1 Financial risk factors (continued)

 

7.1.7 Capital risk management

 

The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The Group's core strategy is described in Note 42.1 of the consolidated financial statements.

 

7.1.8 Compliance risk

 

Compliance risk is the risk of financial loss, including fines and other penalties, which arises from non‑compliance with laws and regulations of each country the Group is present, as well as from the stock exchange where the Company is listed. Although the Group is trying to limit such risk, the uncertain environment in which it operates in various countries increases the complexities handled by Management.

 

7.1.9 Litigation risk

 

Litigation risk is the risk of financial loss, interruption of the Group's operations or any other undesirable situation that arises from the possibility of non‑execution or violation of legal contracts and consequentially of lawsuits. The risk is restricted through the contracts used by the Group to execute its operations.

 

7.1.10 Insolvency risk

 

Insolvency arises from situations where a company may not meet its financial obligations towards a lender as debts become due. Addressing and resolving any insolvency issues is usually a slow moving process in the Region. Management is closely involved in discussions with creditors when/if such cases arise in any subsidiary of the Group aiming to effect alternate repayment plans including debt repayment so as to minimize the effects of such situations on the Group's asset base.

 

 

7.2. Operational risk

 

Operational risk is the risk that derives from the deficiencies relating to the Group's information technology and control systems, as well as the risk of human error and natural disasters. The Group's systems are evaluated, maintained and upgraded continuously.

 

7.3. Fair value estimation

 

The fair values of the Group's financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts at the end of the reporting period.

* As of November 2021, the Group had submitted properly the official request to the City of Kiev to extend the lease of Tsymlyanskiy Residence property for another 5 years, since the Group has first extension rights over any other interested party. The first step in the process whereby the presiding committee of the municipality, before the final approval by the City Council, did not place as too many other cases had accumulated which had time priority over Group's case. During the period between December 15th 2021 and January 20th of 2022, the committee did not convene at all as is usual during holiday and vacation times. Once the holiday season was over, the main focus of the committee and the City Council unfortunately were on issues not related to property lease extensions, but rather more pressing matters for the interests and operational stability of the City of Kiev. From there on, all decisions have been put on hold due to the Russian insurgence of Ukraine. The Management remains confident that the Company will be awarded the lease extension once the war status permits.

 

8. Investment in subsidiaries (continued)

 

** During 2020 the Company initiated the process of striking off six holding subsidiaries in Cyprus, which became idle following recent disposals of local asset owning companies and properties. The companies to be struck off are: Bluehouse Accession Project IV Limited, Demetiva Holdings Limited, Diforio Holdings Limited, Jenby Ventures Limited, Ebenem Limited and Mofben Investments Limited. Relevant official clearance from local Trade Registry and Tax Authorities is expected in the following period. During 2022 the Group has also initiated strike off process for two additional Ukrainian entities, LLC Retail Development Balabino and LLC Interterminal.

 

As part of Stage 2 of the transaction with Arcona, during the first half of 2022 the Group proceeded with closing the disposal of N-E Real Estate Park First Phase Srl, the entity which owns the EOS asset, in exchange of 116.688 new ordinary shares in Arcona and 28.125 warrants over shares in Arcona.

 

During 2021 the Group proceeded with the disposal of Victini Holdings Limited in Cyprus which was idle after the disposal in 2019 of its subsidiary that used to hold the warehouse asset in Greece.

 

Additionally during 2021 the Group acquired an additional 26,32% stake in Rimasol Enterprises Limited, which through Rimasol Real Estate Srl owns Plot R in GreenLake, part of the Second Phase of the overall GreenLake project. With this acquisition the total stake of the Group in this particular plot increased to 70,56%.

 

During 2023 BlueBigBox 3 Srl, the SPV which used to hold Praktiker Craiova property that was sold back in 2018, was entered into an insolvency process initiated by a vendor (Note 43.b). The case is associated with the Bluehouse litigation case (Note 40.3) and Management monitors developments closely. The entering into such process effectively means loss of control and therefore Management decided to exclude the SPV from the current accounts. The SPV currently holds no asset.

 

In an effort to accelerate monetization of assets that were to be part of Stage 3 of the transaction with Arcona, and since the discussions with Arcona took much longer than expected and negotiations on their valuation did not conclude, the Company managed to monetize remaining GreenLake assets in the broader market. As such, the Kindergarten and the remaining Green Lake land were sold during 2022 at values  higher than those offered by Arcona.

 

9. Discontinued operations

 

9.(a) Description

 

The Company announced on 18 December 2018 that it has entered into a conditional implementation agreement for the sale of its property portfolio, excluding its Greek logistics properties ('the Non-Greek Portfolio'), in an all-share transaction to Arcona Property Fund N.V. The transaction is subject to, among other things, asset and tax due diligence (including third party asset valuations) and regulatory approvals (including the approval of a prospectus required in connection with the issuance and admission to listing of the new Arcona Property Fund N.V. shares), as well as successful negotiating and signature of transaction documents. During 2019 and as part of the Arcona transaction the Company sold the Boyana Residence asset in Bulgaria, as well as the Bela and Balabino land plots in Ukraine, while in March and June 2021 has signed SPAs related to Stage 2 of the transaction, namely for the EOS and Delenco assets in Romania, as well as the Kiyanovskiy and Rozny assets in Ukraine. In March and June 2022, the Company sold effectively to Arcona the Delenco and EOS assets. Regarding the Ukrainian assets, further discussions for closing have been put on hold due to the existing circumstances in the country.

The companies that are classified under discontinued operations are the followings:

 

•              Cyprus: Ashor Ventures Limited, Edetrio Holdings Limited, Rimasol Enterprises Limited, Emakei Holdings Limited, Iuliu Maniu Limited, Ram Real Estate Management Limited, Frizomo Holdings Limited, Ketiza Holdings Limited and Victini Holdings Limited

•              Romania: Ashor Development Srl, Ebenem Investments Srl, Jenby Investments Srl, Rimasol Real Estate Srl, Moselin Investments Srl, Best Day Real Estate Srl, N-E Real Estate Park First Phase Srl, Ketiza Real Estate Srl, SPDI Real Estate Srl and Secmon SRL

•              Ukraine: LLC Aisi Ukraine, LLC Almaz‑Pres‑Ukraine, LLC Trade Center, LLC Retail Development Balabino

 

As a result, the Company has reclassified all assets and liabilities related to these properties as held for sale according to IFRS 5 (Note 4.3 & 4.8).

11. Asset operating expenses

 

The Group incurs expenses related to the proper operation and maintenance of all properties in Kiev and Bucharest. Part of these expenses is recovered from the tenants through the service charges and utilities recharge process (Note 10).

Total	(446.380)	(763.024)

 

Property related taxes reflect local taxes of land and building properties (in the form of land taxes, building taxes, garbage fees, etc.). Relevant decrease in 2022 resulted from the disposal of assets during the period, as well as the fact that during 2021 relevant costs were increased due to the land book taxes associated with the acquisition of EOS asset from the leasing company in order the project to be re-financed.

 

Repairs and technical maintenance increased substantially during 2021 due to works performed on residential units for facilitating their successful sale, while in 2022 relevant costs decreased substantially as a result of the disposal of most of the residential properties.

 

11. Asset operating expenses (continued)

 

Utilities increase came from Innovations Logistics Park in Bucharest, and matches with the increased service charges and utilities income invoiced by the Company and included in continued operations.

extension.

* As of November 2021, the Group had submitted properly the official request to the City of Kiev to extend the lease of Tsymlyanskiy Residence property for another 5 years, since the Group has first extension rights over any other interested party. The first step in the process whereby the presiding committee of the municipality, before the final approval by the City Council, did not place as many other cases had accumulated which had time priority over Group's case. During the period between December 15th 2021 and January 20th of 2022, the committee did not convene at all as is usual during holiday and vacation times. Once the holiday season was over, the main focus of the committee and the City Council unfortunately were on issues not related to property lease extensions, but rather more pressing matters for the interests and operational stability of the City of Kiev. From there on, all decisions have been put on hold due to the Russian insurgence of Ukraine. We remain confident that we will be awarded the lease extension once the war status permits.

In relation to the Ukrainian assets excluding Tsymlyanskiy, and in view of the ongoing conflict in the country, the Management, although received updated third-party valuation reports to monitor effectively the underlying values, decided in H1 2022 accounts to impair the value of those assets at 50% of their value as at the end of 2021 and continuous the same in current period.

 

Valuation gains and losses result not only from the differences in the values of the properties as reported by valuers at the different points in time, but also from the fluctuation of the FX rate between the denominated currency of the valuation report itself and the functional currency of the company which posts valuation amount in its accounting books. For example, valuations of Ukrainian assets are denominated in USD and translated to UAH for entering effectively in the accounting books of the local entities. Similarly, valuations of Romanian assets are denominated in EUR and translated to RON for accounting purposes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

14. Gain/ (Loss) from disposal of properties

Continued operations

 

Other income represents income from services to an associate company.

 

The accounts payable written off under continued operations in 2021 are mainly related to writing off an old balance due to a vendor.

 

Discontinued operations

 

Impairments in discontinued operations are related to an intragroup balance between Ashor Development Srl and Green Lake Development Srl (included as Associate in consolidated accounts), born from the contribution of former's assets for the repayment of latter's loan facility with Eurobank, pursuant to the cross collateral agreement included in the relevant loan contract. The small differences in the shareholding structure of the two companies have been taken into account into a relevant MOU between Green Lake Development Srl's shareholders, with which the proceeds of the monetization of the remaining free of mortgage assets are attributed to each shareholder accordingly.

 

Other expenses in discontinued operations represent mainly VAT adjustments on the construction of buildings resulted from sales of villas with no VAT to individuals. Such amounts have been received from the clients through the selling price.

19. Investment Property

 

19.1 Investment Property Presentation

 

Investment Property consists of the following assets:

 

Income Producing Assets

 

·      EOS Business Park consists of 3.386 sqm gross leasable area and includes a Class A office Building in Bucharest, which is currently fully let to Danone Romania until 2025. In June 2022 the Company proceeded to the sale of the Romanian SPV which holds the asset as part of Stage 2 of the transaction with Arcona.

 

·      Innovations Logistics Park is a 16.570 sqm gross leasable area logistics park located in Clinceni in Bucharest, which benefits from being on the Bucharest ring road. Its construction was tenant specific, was completed in 2008 and is separated in four warehouses, two of which offer cold storage (freezing temperature), the total area of which is 6.395 sqm. Innovations Logistics Park was acquired by the Group in May 2014 and is 80% leased at the end of the reporting period.

Residential Assets

·      At the end of the reporting period the Company does not own any more residential units, having sold during the period the remaining residential portfolio held by Moselin Investments Srl in GreenLake Residential complex. The associate company Green Lake Developments Srl still owns 7 units in the Green Lake Residential complex, classified under associates (Note 21).

 

Land Assets

 

·      Kiyanovskiy Residence consists of four adjacent plots of land, totaling 0,55 Ha earmarked for a residential development, overlooking the scenic Dnipro River, St. Michael's Spires and historic Podil neighborhood.

 

·      Tsymlyanskiy Residence is a 0,36 Ha plot of land located in the historic Podil District of Kiev and is destined for the development of a residential complex. As of November 2021, the Group had submitted properly the official request to the City of Kiev to extend the lease of Tsymlyanskiy Residence property for another 5 years, since the Group has first extension rights over any other interested party. The first step in the process whereby the presiding committee of the municipality, before the final approval by the City Council, did not place as many other cases had accumulated which had time priority over Group's case. During the period between December 15th 2021 and January 20th of 2022, the committee did not convene at all as is usual during holiday and vacation times. Once the holiday season was over, the main focus of the committee and the City Council unfortunately were on issues not related to property lease extensions, but rather more pressing matters for the interests and operational stability of the City of Kiev. From there on, all decisions have been put on hold due to the Russian insurgence of Ukraine. We remain confident that we will be awarded the lease extension once the war status permits.

 

·      Rozny Lane is a 42 Ha land plot located in Kiev Oblast, destined for the development of a residential complex. It has been registered under the Group pursuant to a legal decision in 2015.

 

·      GreenLake land is a 40.360 sqm plot and is adjacent to the GreenLake part of the Company's residential portfolio, which is classified under Investments in Associates (Note 21).

Discontinued Operations

Due to the situation in Ukraine and the associated uncertainty, the Management has decided in H1 2022 to proceed with valueing those assets 50% lower than the values provided by the third-party valuers (CBRE Ukraine), and in turn decided to keep the same values in current period. As a result, the Ukrainian assets contribute €1,9 million in Group's assets, as compared to €3,1 million provided by the valuers and €3,6 million in 2021 accounts.

 

The two components comprising the fair value movements are presented in accordance with the requirements of IFRS in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as follows:

 

a.   The translation loss due to the devaluation of local currencies of €442.765 (a) (2021: loss €126.713) is presented as part of the exchange difference on translation of foreign operations in other comprehensive income in the statement of comprehensive income and then carried forward in the Foreign currency translation reserve; and,

b.   The fair value loss in terms of the local functional currencies amounting to €1.245.230 (b) (2021: loss €754.979), is presented as Valuation gains/(losses) from investment properties in the statement of comprehensive income and is carried forward in Accumulated losses.

19.5 Investment Property valuation method presentation

 

In respect of the Fair Value of Investment Properties the following table represents an analysis based on the various valuation methods. The different levels as defined by IFRS have been defined as follows:

-           Level 1 relates to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active and liquid markets for identical assets or liabilities.

-           Level 2 relates to inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability indirectly (that is, derived from prices). Level 2 fair values of investment properties have been derived using the market value approach by comparing the subject asset with similar assets for which price information is available. Under this approach the first step is to consider the prices for transactions of similar assets that have occurred recently in the market. The most significant input into this valuation approach is price per sqm.

-           Level 3 relates to inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs). Level 3 valuations have been performed by the external valuer using the income approach (discounted cash flow) due to the lack of similar sales in the local market (unobservable inputs).

 

To derive Fair Values the Group has adopted a combination of income and market approach weighted according to the predominant local market and economic conditions.

36. Finance Lease Liabilities (continued)

 

36.1 Land Plots Financial Leasing

 

The Group holds land plots in Ukraine under leasehold agreements which in terms of the accounts are classified as finance leases. Lease obligations are denominated in UAH. The fair value of lease obligations approximate to their carrying amounts as included above. Following the appropriate discounting, finance lease liabilities are carried at €34.210 under current and non-current portion. The Group's obligations under finance leases are secured by the lessor's title to the leased assets. Regarding Tsymlyanskiy, as of November 2021, the Group had submitted properly the official request to the City of Kiev to extend the lease property for another 5 years, since the Group has first extension rights over any other interested party. The first step in the process whereby the presiding committee of the municipality, before the final approval by the City Council, did not place as too many other cases had accumulated which had time priority over Group's case. During the period between December 15th 2021 and January 20th of 2022, the committee did  not convene at all as is usual during holiday and vacation times. Once the holiday season was over, the main focus of the committee and the City Council unfortunately were on issues not related to property lease extensions, but rather more pressing matters for the interests and operational stability of the City of Kiev. From there on, all decisions have been put on hold due to the Russian insurgence of Ukraine. We remain confident that we will be awarded the lease extension once the war status permits, and we continue calculate relevant future lease obligations.

40. Contingent Liabilities

 

40.1 Tax Litigation

 

The Group performed during the reporting period part of its operations in the Ukraine, within the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian tax authorities. The Ukrainian tax system can be characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation, which may be applied retroactively, open to wide and in some cases, conflicting interpretation. Instances of inconsistent opinions between local, regional, and national tax authorities and between the National Bank of Ukraine and the Ministry of Finance are not unusual. Tax declarations are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities, which are authorised by law to impose severe fines and penalties and interest charges. Any tax year remains open for review by the tax authorities during the three following subsequent calendar years; however, under certain circumstances a tax year may remain open for longer. Overall following the sales of Terminal Brovary, Balabino and Bela, the exposure of the Group in Ukraine has been significantly reduced.

 

The Group performed during the reporting and comparative periods part of its operations in Romania. In respect of Romanian tax system, many aspects are subject to varying interpretations and frequent changes, which in many cases have retroactive effects. In certain circumstances it is also possible that tax authorities may act arbitrary.

 

These facts create tax risks which are substantially more significant than those typically found in countries with more advanced tax systems. Management believes that it has adequtely provided for tax liabilities, based on its interpretation of tax legislation, official pronouncements and court decisions. However, the interpretations of the relevant authorities could differ and the effect on these consolidated financial statements, if the authorities were successful in enforcing their interpretations, could be significant.

 

40.2 Construction related litigation

 

There are no material claims from contractors due to the postponement of projects or delayed delivery other than those disclosed in the financial statements.

 

40.3 Bluehouse Accession case

 

BLUEHOUSE ACCESSION PROPERTY HOLDINGS III S.A.R.L. (Bluehouse) filed in Cypriot courts in December 2018 lawsuit against the Company for the total amount of €5.042.421,87, in relation to the Praktiker Craiova acquisition in 2015, and the redemption of the Redeemable Preference Class A shares which were issued as part of the transaction to the vendor, plus special compensations of €2.500.000 associated with the related pledge agreement. The redemption of such shares was requested in 2016, and in lieu of such redemption the Company transferred to the vendor the 20% holding in Autounion asset which was used as a guarantee to the transaction for the effective redemption of the Redeemable Preference Class A shares. At the same time the Company has posted in its accounts a relevant payable provision for Bluehouse in the amount of €2.521.211 (Note 33). On the other hand, the Company during 2019, as part of the judicial process, has filed a claim against Bluehouse for concealing certain key information during the Praktiker Craiova transaction, which if revealed would have resulted in a significant reduction of the final acquisition price. Management believes the Company has good grounds of defence and valid arguments and the amount already provided is adequate to cover an eventual final settlement between the parties. The next hearing of the combined cases in front of Cypriot Courts has been set on 16 October 2023.

 

40.4 Other Litigation

 

The Group has a number of other minor legal cases pending. Management does not believe that the result of these will have a substantial overall effect on the Group's financial position. Consequently no such provision is included in the current financial statements.

 

40.5 Other Contingent Liabilities

 

The Group had no other contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2022.

 

41. Commitments

 

The Group had no other commitments as at 31 December 2022.

 

42. Financial Risk Management

 

42.1 Capital Risk Management

 

The Group manages its capital to ensure adequate liquidity for implementing its strategy to maximize the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt-equity structure and value enhancing actions in respect of its portfolio of investments. The capital structure of the Group consists of borrowings (Note 31), bonds (Note 32), trade and other payables (Note 33) deposits from tenants (Note 34), financial leases (Note 36), taxes payable (Note 35) and equity attributable to ordinary or preferred shareholders.

Management reviews the capital structure on an on-going basis. As part of the review Management considers the differential capital costs in the debt and equity markets, the timing at which each investment project requires funding and the operating requirements so as to proactively provide for capital either in the form of equity (issuance of shares to the Group's shareholders) or in the form of debt. Management balances the capital structure of the Group with a view of maximizing the shareholder's Return on Equity (ROE) while adhering to the operational requirements of the property assets and exercising prudent judgment as to the extent of gearing.

42.3 Financial Risk Management Objectives

 

The Group's Treasury function provides services to its various corporate entities, coordinates access to local and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group, mainly the investing and development functions. Its primary goal is to secure the Group's liquidity and to minimize the effect of the financial asset price variability on the cash flow of the Group. These risks cover market risks including foreign exchange risks and interest rate risk, as well as credit risk and liquidity risk.

 

The above mentioned risk exposures may be hedged using derivative instruments whenever appropriate. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Group's approved policies which indicate that the use of derivatives is for hedging purposes only. The Group does not enter into speculative derivative trading positions. The same policies provide for the investment of excess liquidity. As at the end of the reporting period, the Group had not entered into any derivative contracts.

 

42.4 Economic Market Risk Management

 

The Group currently operates in Romania and Ukraine. The Group's activities expose it primarily to financial risks of changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates. The exposures and the management of the associated risks are described below. There has been no change in the way the Group measures and manages risks.

 

Foreign Exchange Risk

Currency risk arises when commercial transactions and recognized financial assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Group's functional currency. Most of the Group's financial assets are denominated in the functional currency. Management is monitoring the net exposures and adopts policies to encounter them so that the net effect of devaluation is minimized.

 

Interest Rate Risk

The Group's income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates as the Group has no significant floating interest-bearing assets. On December 31^st, 2022, cash and cash equivalent (including continued and discontinued operations) financial assets amounted to €351.398 (2021: €2.555.246) of which approx. €1.208 in UAH and €221.840 in RON (Note 27) while the remaining are mainly denominated in either USD,GBP or €.

 

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its borrowings (including continued and discontinued operations) amounting to €4.618.549 (31 December 2021: €9.726.465) as they are issued at variable rates tied to the Libor or Euribor. Management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and evaluates hedging options to align the Group's strategy with the interest rate view and the defined risk appetite. Although no hedging has been applied for the reporting period, such may take place in the future if deemed necessary in order to protect the cash flow of a property asset through different interest rate cycles.

The Group's exposures to financial risk are discussed also in Note 7.

 

42.5 Credit Risk Management

 

The Group has no significant credit risk exposure. The credit risk emanating from the liquid funds is limited because the Group's counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies. The Credit risk of receivables is reduced as the majority of the receivables represent VAT to be offset through VAT income in the future. In respect of receivables from tenants these are kept to a minimum of 2 months and are monitored closely.

 

42.6 Liquidity Risk Management

 

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which applies a framework for the Group's short, medium and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Treasury function of the Group manages liquidity risk by preparing and monitoring forecasted cash flow plans and budgets while maintaining adequate reserves. The following table details the Group's contractual maturity of its financial liabilities. The tables below have been drawn up based on the undiscounted contractual maturities including interest that will be accrued.

43. Events after the end of the reporting period

 

 

a)    Operating cost optimization measures

 

As part of the cost optimization process adopted by the Board, the Company  has agreed in 2023 with a Cyprus based advisory company wholly owned by the Company's CEO Lambros Anagnostopoulos, to externalize all existing HR and office costs in all jurisdictions that the Company currently operates in, except Ukraine.

 

Such externalization will take place by the advisor assuming a) all direct individual personnel contracts, b) the service contracts with local real estate service providers, and c) all HR and office costs in Romania. In return, SPDI will pay fixed monthly fee of EUR 24,000 plus VAT which represents an annual reduction of 35% and 50% vis a vis similar costs incurred by the Company in 2021 and 2020 respectively. Such fee has been set to reflect effectively the reduced personnel time/cost and office costs of the Company during this phase of transformation of the Company. The advisory contract will be able to be terminated by either party with one month's notice, after an initial period of eight months elapses.

 

b)    Bluebigbox3 Srl insolvency procedure

 

During 2023, against Bluebigbox3 Srl has been opened an insolvency procedure by Bucharest Tribunal, initiated by creditor Emeu Property Services for a due liability of ~350.000 lei. The case is in strong connection with the main litigation of the Company with Bluehouse (Note 40.3) since the above mentioned creditor is an affiliate to Bluehouse and acted as Property Manager of the Praktiker Craiova asset after its acquisition by the Company. The Company believes that the creditor acted in sync with Bluehouse and concealed certain key information which if revealed would have resulted in a significant reduction of the final acquisition price. Bluebigbox3 Srl currently is idle with no asset in its procession.
