determine whether there
is any indication of impairment.  If any such indication exists, the assets' recoverable amount is estimated.  The
recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and value in use of an asset.  In assessing value in use of an
asset, 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. 
 
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its
recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of
cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to cash-generating units
and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis. 
 
5.22  Revenue recognition 
 
Revenue comprises the invoiced amount for the sale of goods and services net of value added tax, rebates and discounts.
Revenues earned by the Group are recognised on the following bases: 
 
Income from land and buildings under development 
 
The Group applies IAS 18 'Revenue' for income from land and buildings under development, according to which revenue and the
related costs are recognised in profit or loss when the building has been completed and delivered and all associated risks
have been transferred to the buyer. 
 
Construction contracts 
 
Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to
the stage of completion of the contract activity at the statement of financial position date, as measured by the proportion
that contract costs incurred for work performed to date compared to the estimated total contract costs, except where this
would not be representative of the stage of completion. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are
included to the extent that they have been agreed with the customer. 
 
Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of
contract costs incurred that it is probable they will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the
period in which they are incurred. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the
expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. 
 
5.23  Finance income and costs 
 
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested, dividend income and gains on the disposal of and increase in
the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in
profit or loss, using the effective interest method. 
 
Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions and losses on the disposal
of and reduction in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. 
 
The interest expense component of finance lease payments is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest
method. 
 
5.24  Foreign currency translation 
 
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange
rates at the dates of the transactions.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting
date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.  The foreign currency gain or loss on
monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted
for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the
exchange rate at the end of the period.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are
measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was
determined.  Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss. 
 
5.25  Foreign operations 
 
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are
translated to euro at exchange rates at the reporting date.  The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding
foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to euro at exchange rates at the dates of the
transactions. 
 
The income and expenses of foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies are translated to euro at the exchange rate at
the reporting date.  Prior to translating the financial statements of foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies,
their financial statements for the current period are restated to account for changes in the general purchasing power of
the local currency.  The restatement is based on relevant price indices at the reporting date. 
 
Foreign currency differences are recognised directly in equity in the foreign currency translation reserve. When a foreign
operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the foreign currency translation reserve is
transferred to profit or loss. 
 
5.26  Segment reporting 
 
A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing products or services (business
segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is
subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments. Segment results that are reported to Group's
chief operating decision maker include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a
reasonable basis. 
 
5.27  Earnings per share 
 
The Group presents basic and diluted (if applicable) earnings per share ('EPS') data for its shares. Basic EPS is
calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential shares. 
 
5.28  NAV per share 
 
The Group presents NAV per share by dividing the total equity attributable to owners of the Company by the number of shares
outstanding as at the statement of financial position date. 
 
5.29  Income tax 
 
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss, except to the
extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. 
 
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially
enacted at the statement of financial position date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. 
 
Deferred tax is recognised using the statement of financial position method, providing for temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in
a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences
relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will
not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences
arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied
to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current
tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or
on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets
and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. 
 
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent
that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that
the related tax benefit will be realised. 
 
In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Group takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions
and whether additional taxes and interest may be due.  This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve
a series of judgements about future events. New information may become available that causes the Group to change its
judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to the tax liabilities will impact tax expense
in the period that such a determination is made. 
 
5.30  Government grants 
 
Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions
attaching to them and that the grants will be received.  Government grants related to non-current assets are recognised as
deferred income that is recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.  Government
grants that relate to expenses are recognised in profit or loss as revenue. 
 
5.31  Comparatives 
 
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current year.

Country risk developments 
 
The general economic environment prevailing in the south-east Europe area and internationally may affect the Group's
operations. Concepts such as inflation, unemployment, and development of the gross domestic product are directly linked to
the economic course of every country and variation in these and the economic environment in general might affect the Group
to a certain extent. 
 
The global fundamentals of the sector remained strong during 2014, with both international tourism and wealth continuing to
grow, even though economic activity in two of the Group's primary markets, Greece and Cyprus, continued to face significant
challenges. The business climate is slowly, but steadily improving in Cyprus assisted by the legislative reforms
implemented during the past year by the Cypriot government. 
 
After the escalation of the sovereign debt crisis in Greece in mid-2012 and the international media speculation involving
scenarios of default and/or Greece's exit from the Eurozone, the country's economic conditions significantly stabilised
until the end of 2014 when a general election was called in Greece for January 2015. Following six years of deep recession,
growth was positive in 2014. In 2014 international tourist arrivals, according to Tourism Research Institute, set a new
historical record by reaching 21.5 million, a 20% increase compared to 2013 and is expected to remain strong in 2015. The
debt crisis has also been a catalyst in adopting a faster entitlement process for development projects in Greece. In
particular, the introduction of the Strategic Investment incentive legislation in Greece, which should be applicable to
most of the Group's local projects due to their quality, size and potential impact on the local economy, speeds up and
improves zoning entitlements and building permits for Group residential resort projects in the country. The current
political and economic climate in Greece remains challenging and unstable, as the new Greek administration is seeking to
reach a compromise accord with its EU partners and the IMF which would both enable it to avoid a sovereign default while
still implementing its basic policies. The banking system stability remains fragile, with the most notable effect on the
Group's businesses being the scarcity of senior bank debt to finance the construction of its development portfolio. 
 
The crisis of sovereign debt affected the Cypriot economy with a time lag, causing negative effects not only on public
finances but also in the banking system. Despite the fact that the Government tried to react promptly and effectively by
preparing a fiscal consolidation programme, the country captured the world' s attention earlier in 2013 as it fought hard
to bounce back from the brink of bankruptcy through intense negotiations with international lenders. The so called 'bail
in' decision of the Eurozone included imposing losses on depositors with amounts exceeding E100,000, a closed banking
system for two weeks and extensive capital controls. Since then Cyprus has been remarkably resilient following the
financial crisis and in implementing tough austerity measures to restructure its economy. Although a challenging time for
one of the smallest EU member states, the economic adjustment programme remains on track, with progress made in all key
objectives set out by the country's international lenders. The banking sector is also on a steady path to stabilisation
with all domestic capital controls lifted in early April 2015. Tourist arrivals during 2014 amounted to 2.4 million and
stayed at the same level when compared to 2013, as reported by the Statistical Service of the Republic of Cyprus.
Nevertheless, it is encouraging to note that, despite the banking crisis that occurred in early 2013, the tourism industry
remained unharmed and expectations for 2015 are positive. The decision by the Ministerial Council to reduce the investment
amount requirements and accelerate Cypriot citizenship awards to buyers of real estate is expected to significantly
increase sales momentum and margins at Aristo Developers Limited ('Aristo') and increase the value and saleability of its
larger projects. Significant value is also estimated to be unlocked through the expected zoning of the Apollo Heights
Resort, following the agreement reached by the Cypriot and UK governments to permit for development such projects falling
within the Sovereign British Areas.

The Group's subsidiary in the Dominican Republic has been granted a 100% exemption on local and municipal taxes by the
Dominican Republic's CONFOTUR (Tourism Promotion Council), as at 31 December 2014, for a period of fifteen years, effective
from the finalisation of the construction of the project, whereas as at 31 December 2013, the exemption period was ten

higher). In some instances, this 3% may be considered by the taxpayer as the final tax payable. Tax losses of companies in
the Republic of Panama are carried forward to reduce future profits for a period of five years. 
 
11.    EARNINGS/(LOSS) per share

Diluted earnings/(loss) per share 
 
Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the profit/(loss) attributable to owners and the number of
common shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential shares. During the year, the Company has one
category of dilutive potential common shares: warrants. The number of shares calculated above is compared with the number
of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the warrants. 
 
                                                                                             From 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2014'000  From 1 January 2013to 31 December 2013'000
