preliminary stage and will be intensified upon successful closing of Stage 2

Lambros G. Anagnostopoulos, Chief Executive Officer, said, "Despite the
headwinds faced during 2021 while the world continued to battle a global
pandemic, progress was made during the financial year under review, leading to
the delayed completion of two Romanian asset disposals included in Stage Two
of the Arcona transaction earlier in 2022.
"While we saw a significant improvement in the economies of Romania and
Ukraine with the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions, the war in Ukraine has,
obviously, meant a reprioritisation of our efforts to ensure the safety first
and foremost of our team on the ground and the consequent ongoing delays in
the progress of the Ukrainian aspect of the Arcona transaction.
"Following the transfer of SPDI's interests in Delenco and EOS Business Park
in Romania in March and June this year, the total number of Arcona Shares
issued to SPDI totals 1,072,910 to date, or 25.3% of the total issued shares
in the company."

1. Letter to Shareholders
30 June 2022
Dear Shareholder
2021 was the second year straight that our world, our continent and our
business experienced the impacts of COVID-19. Despite the vaccines being
available for much of the year, lockdowns were frequent and fatalities
increased. Consequently, our effort to complete the merger with the Amsterdam
and Prague listed Arcona Property Fund N.V. ('APF') - with assets in Poland,
Czech Republic and Slovakia) took more time than expected. With the start of
the year bringing improvements on the health front, the process picked up pace
and is now progressing meeting SPDI's strategic objectives to create a
regional property platform of reference in South Eastern Europe by offering
exposure to our shareholders to a much larger and broader East European
regional property company.
The Romanian part of Stage 2, which in whole involves the transfer of the
remaining Ukraine assets and the Romanian portfolio to APF, closed within H1
2022. Obviously, completing the Ukraine part of Stage 2 has taken second stage
to ensuring the life and wellbeing of our Ukrainian executives and their
families, all of which we are happy to report are safe. We hope the
unnecessary military conflict in Ukraine with the untold catastrophes in the
country's population, society and infrastructure, as well as the substantial
consequences to our continent's present and future, will end soon. As such the
Ukrainian component may take longer, but APF, in which we now own ~25% and
have our chairman as one of the four supervisory board members, is committed
to meeting its obligations. With our directors consequently broadening their
scope of interest to include the future good management of APF, as per their
fiduciary responsibility to our shareholders, management's focus has shifted
towards monetising the remaining SPDI assets that are not part of the APF deal
and settling any remaining liabilities, while reducing operating expenses to a
minimum (including management and directors fees).
2022 is expected to be the last year of SPDI operations as we know them with
its net assets turned into APF shares and cash, within the year or soon after,
and opex being reduced to mostly listing and legal related costs. When such
APF shares and cash are distributed to our shareholders they will be able to
either monetise their investment by selling them or retain them and follow
APF's growth into a dividend issuing pan-East Europe property company, the
preferred way of safeguarding their investment value together with having the
option of further value generation. Management and directors of SPDI are
committed to see a swift conclusion of the transaction, so that they will
ensure the transformation of our Company.
Best regards,
Lambros G. Anagnostopoulos, Chief Executive Officer
2. Management Report
2.1 Corporate Overview & Financial Performance
SPDI's core property asset portfolio consists of South Eastern European prime
commercial and industrial real estate, the majority of which is let to blue
chip tenants on long leases. During 2021, management in line with the
Company's strategy to maximise value for shareholders, continued the
discussions with Arcona Property Fund N.V (Arcona) in relation to the
conditional implementation agreement for the sale of Company's property
portfolio, excluding its Greek logistics property (which has now also
separately been sold), in an all-share transaction to Arcona, an Amsterdam and
Prague listed company that invests in commercial property in Central Europe.
Arcona originally held high yielding real estate investments in Czech
Republic, Poland and Slovakia, with the transaction valuing the SPDI NAV at ~
€29m, significantly higher than the current market value of the Company as a
whole.
The combination of two complementary asset portfolios is expected to create a
significant European property company, benefiting both the Company's and
Arcona's respective shareholders.
Following the completion of Stage 1 of the transaction in 2019, which involved
the sale of two land plots in Ukraine and residential and land assets in
Bulgaria and resulted in Company receiving a total of 593.534 Arcona shares
and 144.084 warrants over Arcona shares, in June 2021, the two parties signed
SPA agreements for Stage 2 of the Arcona transaction. This stage involves the
transfer of the EOS and Delenco assets in Romania and the Kiyanovskiy and
Rozny land plots in Ukraine with a total net asset value of €8,2 million, in
exchange for approximately 560.000 new ordinary shares in Arcona and
approximately 135.000 warrants over shares in Arcona, as well as €1m in
cash, subject to, inter alia, standard form adjustment and finalisation in
accordance with the relevant agreements.
However, the rapid development of COVID-19 affected during the second half of
2021, all related countries and therefore all participants in this process,
causing major delays.
Finally, in March and June 2022 the parties signed the closing documents of
the transactions regarding the Delenco and the EOS assets in Romania, and in
particular the transfer of a 24,4% stake in Delenco in exchange for the issue
to SPDI of 362.688 new shares in Arcona and 87.418 warrants over shares in
Arcona, as well as a 100% stake in EOS in exchange for the issue to SPDI of
116.688 new shares in Arcona and 28.125 warrants over shares in Arcona.
The invasion of Ukraine by Russia during February 2022, suspended the transfer
process of the relevant Ukrainian assets included in Stage 2 of the
Transaction. Any development of such process is expected to take place in the
future upon normalization of current conditions.
Moreover, the war in Ukraine has also affected our standard local business. In
particular, despite submitting the official request to the City of Kiev to
extend the lease of Tsymlyanskiy for another 5 years last November (as we have
first extension rights over any other interested party) we have not managed to
get an official approval yet. 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 our case. During the period between 15 December 2021 and 20
January 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 invasion of Ukraine. However,
management remains confident that the Company will be awarded the lease
extension once the war status permits.
Regarding the economic environment in which the Company operates, the Romanian
economy which constitutes the main operating market of the Company, grew by
5,9% in 2021 following the downturn in 2020 due to the pandemic. Consumer
spending has remained robust, but lost momentum on the back of lower pent-up
demand and price increases. Inflation has surged, far above the central bank
target band, mainly driven by sharp increases in food and energy prices.
Labour market conditions improved, with the number of registered unemployed
moving towards to its pre-pandemic level. Real estate investment volume picked
up, with office assets representing 43% of the annual volume, while industrial
projects attracted 30% and retail 21%.
Total operating income increased by 25% during 2021 to €2,6m as a result of
the increased sales of residential units throughout the period, leading to an
increase of net operating income of 14% to €1,9m. Overall, the
administration costs, adjusted by the one-off costs associated with the
transaction with Arcona, the legal costs for the acceptance by Euroclear of
the new custodian as a result of Brexit, and ad-hoc previous periods and
re-financing costs, decreased by 5%, while at the same time profit realized
from associates and dividends income increased further recurring EBITDA to
€0,82m from losses €0,2m in 2020.
As a result, operating results after finance and tax for the year reached
€0,13m as compared to losses of €1,0m in 2020.

*As of November 2021, the Company had submitted an official request to the
City of Kiev to extend the lease of the property for another 5 years (since it
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 our case. During the period between
15 December 2021 and 20 January 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 Ukrainian invasion by
Russia. Management remains confident that the Company will be awarded the
lease extension once the war status permits.
In 2021, the Company's accredited valuers, namely CBRE Ukraine for the
Ukrainian Assets, and NAI RealAct for the Romanian Assets, remained appointed.
The valuations have been carried out by the appraisers on the basis of Market
Value in accordance with the current Practice Statements contained within the
Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors ("RICS") Valuation - Global Standards
(2017) (the "Red Book") and are also compliant with the International
Valuation Standards (IVS).
Following disposals of previous periods, SPDI's portfolio has became more
concentrated in terms of geography. At the end of the reporting period,
Romania is the prime country of operations (88%) in terms of Gross Asset
Value, while in Ukraine (12%) the Company still has interests in land plots.
In respect of the Company's income generation capacity, Romania has become the
single operating income source.
The table below summarizes the main financial position of each of the
Company's assets (representing the Company's participation in each asset) at
the end of the reporting period.

2.3 Financial and Risk Management
The Group's overall bank debt exposure at the end of the reporting period was
~€14,06m (calculating relative to the Company's percentage shareholding in
each), comprising the following:
a) €3,5m debt financing of EOS Business Park with Patria Bank Romania.
b) €6,5m finance lease of Innovations Logistics Park with Piraeus
Leasing Romania.
c) €0,26m being the Company's portion of debt financing of Kindergarten
with Eurobank Ergasias.
d) €3,8m being the Company's portion of land plot related debt financing
in Romania.
Throughout 2021, the Company focused on managing and preserving liquidity
through cash flow optimisation. In this context, Management secured a)
collection of scheduled re-payments of loans provided to third parties, b)
continuous sale of residential assets and c) advancement of discussions
related to the transaction with Arcona Property Fund N.V. which partially
materialised in 2022.
2.4 2022 and beyond
2022 is expected to be the period in which the Company will change completely,
with all its assets expected to be sold. Consequently its main operations
will be minimised, subject to constraints brought by the pandemic and the
current war situation. Despite such constraints, Management is working, along
the guidance of the board for the closing of the transaction with Arcona
Property Fund N.V., which will mark effectively the maximisation of Company's
value and will give our shareholders the opportunity to gain direct exposure
to an entity of considerably larger size, with a dividend distribution policy,
and active in a more diversified and faster growing region (Central and South
Eastern Europe) of the European property market.
Having already completed during 2022 the transfers of Delenco and EOS assets
in Romania, the Management is currently working towards completion of the
remaining parts of the transaction, monitoring closely any developments in
Ukraine, as well as with all other open issues which if resolved will
effectively result in the Company having as assets only Arcona shares and
cash.
3. Regional Economic Developments (1)
After a strong recovery in the first half of 2021, economic activity in
Romania has been cooling as a result of the fourth COVID-19 wave. Supply-chain
disruptions have dampened manufacturing activity while the rapid growth of
coronavirus infections has damaged confidence. Overall the economy grew by
5,9% in 2021 with the agricultural sector leading with a 13,5% growth,
following its steep drop in 2020. The industrial sector following saw a 5%
growth, while the construction sector contracted by 1,7%. Unemployment rate is
estimated lower at 5,6%, while inflation increased as a result of price
increases mainly in foods and energy, at 4,1% with an increasing trend.
Assuming the pandemic remains under control, economic growth in 2022 is
projected to decelerate as a result of the Russia-Ukraine war. The current
energy crisis is expected to lead to further increases in prices, leading in
turn to an almost 20-year high inflation level, affecting household
consumption. At the same time and for the same reasons, private investment
activity is expected to drop, however, EU-backed investments should provide
some counterbalance, provided that absorption of EU funds will remain
successful.

In 2021, Ukraine's economy grew by 3,4% due to the easing of COVID-19
restrictions which supported domestic demand, while at the same time a bigger
harvest offset effectively the drags of higher global energy prices. Inflation
rate showed incremental trends and was estimated at 10% at year end, similarly
the unemployment rate which closed at 10,6%, leading the National Bank of
Ukraine to increase interest rates to 9% by the end of the year. Public sector
financial needs are expected to grow due to increases in minimum wages and
social transfers, limiting space for public investment, and fueling further
inflationary pressures in a supply-constrained economy.
Following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022, Ukraine's
economy is expected to shrink by an estimated 45% this year, although the
magnitude of the contraction will depend on the duration and intensity of the
ongoing war. The Russian invasion is delivering a massive blow to Ukraine's
economy and it has caused enormous damage to country's infrastructure, so that
the country is in need of immediate financial support in order to keep its
economy going and the government providing aid to the population who face an
extreme situation.

4. Real Estate Market Developments (2)
4.1 Romania
Total real estate investment volume in Romania in 2021 reached Euro 910
million, representing a 10% y-o-y increase. Despite the pandemic, the
investment volume reached in 2021 is one of the highest in the past 10 years,
proving the attractivenesss of Romanian assets. The office segment represented
43% of the annual volume, followed by logistics/ industrial sector (30%) and
retail (21%). Bucharest secured c.60% of country's investment volume, driven
mainly by office transactions. In contrast, logistics/ industrial parks
accounted for 60-65% of regional cities transactions.
Compression across all sectors is the trend that describes yields in Romania
during 2021. Prime office yields dropped to 6,75%, while industrials reached
7,5%, and retail 7%. Foreign investors represent 91% of total investment
volume, with the remaining 9% attributed to local investors from 6% in 2020.
With c.600.000 sq m delivered during 2021, the total modern industrial/
logistics stock reached c.5,8 million sq m. Almost 66% of the new deliveries
were in Bucharest area, being by far the largest consumer market in the
country. The total take-up reached 860.000 sq m, from which c.21% consists of
prolongations and renegotiations. Logistics/ Distribution sector accounted for
34% of annual take-up, followed by Manufacturing/ Industrial (26%) and Retail
(19%). Pipeline consists of c.650.000 sq m deliverable in 2022 which would
elevate the total stock to 6,5 million sq m. Such deliverables are related
mostly to regional cities, as only 45% represent projects in Bucharest, with
Timisoara, Oradea, Cluj, Brasov and Arad to account for a total share of c.44%
of the pipeline. The vacancy rates showed a decreasing trend, estimated at
4,9% at the national level and 5,2% at the Bucharest level.
It is estimated that over 270.000 sq m in 13 buildings were completed in 2021,
which is the largest office supply delivered in the past 5 years. Modern
office stock stands at c.3,5 million sq m, from which 72% are considered as
Class A. The largest supply in 2021 was completed in Central West Bucharest
submarket (27%), North Bucharest (25%) and Central Bucharest (22%). Current
pipeline includes office deliverables of c.150.000 sq m in 2022 and another
c.93.000 sq m in 2023, with the majority to be located in Central and
Central-West Bucharest submarkets. On the other hand, annual total leasing
activity in 2021 reached c.297.000 sq m, from which renewals accounted for 38%
of the annual activity and pre-leases for 17%. Leasing activity was 70% driven
by Hi-tech/ Computers, Medical & Pharma and Professional Services sectors.
In 2021, c.183.000 residential units were sold at a national level,
registering an increase of 50% compared to previous year, and constituting
2021 as the most active year in terms of residential sales. Approximately 30%
of total sales transacted in Bucharest. At the end of the year, the average
selling prices in Bucharest stood at 1.620 Euros per sq m, reflecting a 13,7%
year-on-year increase. Part of that increase came from the newer stock and is
directly attributed to the increased construction costs and material prices.
Regarding new supply, it is estimated that during the first 9 months of the
year, 14.600 units were completed in Bucharest, a number similar to the total
number completed in 2020 and almost 50% higher than that of 2019. The
introduction of the Consumer Credit Reference Index (IRCC) for consumer loans
in Romania, has not affected demand which is expected to continue to be
strong.

4.2 Ukraine
Real estate investment in Ukraine during 2021 continued to be weak on the back
of the COVID-19 pandemic impact, tensions with Russia, and lack of financing.
The only exception is the residential market, which during the first nine
monts of the year, and before the climax of the tensions with Russia, showed
signs of recovery. During that period, demand was reported to be stronger,
despite slowing construction activity, while property prices, as well as land
values and rents, were rising. Existing unit prices in Kiev rose by +5%, to
an average of $1.090 per sq m.
The demand for land plots started increasing in 2016, especially for those
suitable for commercial development, a trend which stopped in 2020 mainly due
to the effects of COVID-19 pandemic. During the first half of 2021 land values
increased significantly, a trend that stopped with the increasing tension with
Russia. During that period, in the Kiev region, land values increased by 12,4%
compared to previous year, while in the Odessa region the relevant increase
was 13,4%.

(1) Share premium is not available for distribution.
(2) Companies which do not distribute 70% of their profits after tax, as
defined by the relevant tax law, within two years after the end of the
relevant tax year, will be deemed to have distributed as dividends 70% of
these profits. Special contribution for defence at 17% and GHS contribution at
1,7%-2,65% for deemed distributions after 1 March 2019 will be payable on such
deemed dividends to the extent that the ultimate shareholders are both Cyprus
tax resident and Cyprus domiciled. The amount of deemed distribution is
reduced by any actual dividends paid out of the profits of the relevant year
at any time. This special contribution for defence is payable by the Company
for the account of the shareholders.
(3) Exchange differences on intercompany loans to foreign holdings arose as a
result of devaluation of the Ukrainian Hryvnia during previous years. The
Group treats the mentioned loans as a part of the net investment in foreign
operations (Note 39.3).
(4) Exchange differences related to the translation from the functional
currency of the Group's subsidiaries are accounted for directly to the foreign
currency translation reserve. The foreign currency translation reserve
represents unrealized profits or losses related to the appreciation or
depreciation of the local currencies against the euro in the countries where
the Group's subsidiaries own property assets.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2021
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 2021, the companies of the Group employed and/or used the
services of 15 full time equivalent people, (2020 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
2021. 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.
4.2 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.
4.2 Functional and presentation currency (continued)
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 2021 2020 2021 2020 2019
USD 1,1827 1,1422 1,1326 1,2270 1,1234
UAH 32,3009 30,8013 30,9226 34,7396 26,422
RON 4,9204 4,8371 4,9481 4,8694 4,7793
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
prescribed 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.
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.
4.4 Investment Property at fair value (continued)
Management believes 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
2021:
· 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 wherein
the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion".
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.
4.4 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.
4.6 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.
4.9 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.
4.9 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.
4.9 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)
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 · Residential segment · Land assets - the Group owns a number of land assets which are
either available for sale or for potential development
· Office segment
· Retail segment
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 2023).
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 2023).
· Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS 16
Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets; Annual Improvements 2018‑2020 (All issued 14 May 2020)
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022).
· 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 2021 (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
Ukraine's economy grew by 3,4% in 2021 driven by increased domestic demand.
Inflation picked up to 10% by year end leading National Bank to increase
interest rates to 9% by the end of the same period. Unemplyment showed
incremental trends to 10,6% as minimum wages and social contributions
increased during the year.
All these have no real use by the time Russia invaded in Ukraine in February
2022. Currently the political and economic risks associated with Company's
activities in the country have increased dramatically and any relevant
assessment for the future is impossible to be made.
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.
On the other hand, starting from 2022 interim consolidated accounts, the
assets will be revalued affecting the net asset value of the Group. At the end
of the current reporting period Ukrainian assets contribute €3,6 milion in
Group's assets, figure which is going to be significantly reduced.
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, the asset does not contribute value commencing from current
reporting period.
The Management will monitor developments in the country and change policy if
necessary.
7.1.1.2 Romania
The Romanian economy grew by 5,9% in 2021 following a year of contraction. The
agricultural sector led such growth with 13,5%, followed by the industrial one
with 5%.At the end of the year unemployment rate stood at 5,6% and inflation
rate at 4,1% due to increased prices in foods and energy. Overall, during the
first half of the year the economy showed strong signs of recovery from the
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, although such trend slowed during the second
half of the year, mainly due to the hurt in confidence brought by the fourth
pandemic wave and the political tensions in the region.
Future outlook is positive with GDP expected to grow by 4,5% annually in the
next two year period, as a result of all monetary and fiscal measures and
reforms adopted by the government, and provided that the health situation will
progressively improve. However, the recent invasion of Russia in neighboring
country Ukraine, and the ongoing war that takes place there, has harmed
confidence and local economic sentiment, while at the same time might also
harm foreign investment. Therefore, the associated risk has significantly
increased, being closely related to the geopolitical developments in the
region.
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.
8. Investment in subsidiaries
The Company has direct and indirect holdings in other companies, collectively
called the Group, that were included in the consolidated financial statements,

* 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.
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. (Note 20).
Following extended but unsuccessful negotiations for more than 2 years with
Tonescu Finance Srl, the company which had acquired Monaco Towers property's
loan, SecMon Real Estate Srl entered voluntarily in January 2018 into
insolvency process, in order to protect its interests against its creditor,
given that the value of the assets was higher than the value of the relevant
loan. The entering of SecMon Real Estate Srl in the insolvency process meant
loss of control as per the definition of IFRS 10. As such SecMon Real Estate
Srl was not consolidated in previous periods in Group's financial statements.
However, during 2021 and after the successful re-organization of SecMon Real
Estate Srl through the insolvency process, the company re-paid fully its loan
and the Group regained full control of the subsidiary. Following that, by the
end of the current period, the subsidiary had managed to sell successfully all
its units stock .
During the period 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. Currently the Group has
initiated strike off process for two additional Ukrainian entities.
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% .
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 2022 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.
Additionally, the Company also sold during 2019 the Greek logistics property
Victini Logistics, which was not part of the Arcona transaction.

well as 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 the period
due to works performed on residential units for facilitating their successful
sale.

Managers of Ukraine and Romania, as well as the salary cost of personnel
employed in the various Company's offices in the region.
Incentives to Management provided in 2020 for the successful disposal of
Victini Logistics Park.
Advisory fees are mainly related to advisors, brokers, valuers and other
professionals engaged in relevant transactions and capital raising campaigns,
as well as outsourced human resources support on the basis of relevant
contracts. In 2021, such fees include EUR 36k of services related to Arcona
transaction (EUR 52k in 2020) and increased brokerage fees for the extended
residential sales of the Group that took place during the year in Romania. In
discontinued operations, advisory fees include also EUR 30k related to the
re-financing of EOS asset that took place in December 2021.
Accounting and related fees include fees from external accounting services, as
well as fees for transfer pricing and tax consulting services. In particular,
certain Group entities proceeded during 2020 in preparation of Transfer
Pricing file, essential in such cases under recent local tax legislation.
Public group expenses include among others fees paid to the AIM:LSE stock
exchange and the Nominated Adviser of the Company, as well as other expenses
related to the listing of the Company, such as public relations and registry
expenses. Relevant increase in 2021 came as a result of the additional fees
incurred by the new custodian (Cyprus Stock Exchange) of the shares of the
Company, which came as requirement following Brexit, as well as extra fees
from the corporate registrar for arrangements in relation to the new share
custody status of the Company.
Corporate registration and maintenance fees represent fees charged for the
annual maintenance of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as fees and
expenses related to the normal operation of the companies including charges by
the relevant local authorities. Increase in current period came as a result of
the expenses incurred for striking off six (6) idle entities in Cyprus.
Legal fees represent legal expenses incurred by the Group in relation to asset
operations (rentals, sales, etc.), ongoing legal cases in Ukraine, Cyprus and
Romania, compliance with AIM listing, as well as one-off fees associated with
legal services and advise in relation to due diligence processes, and
transactions. In 2021 an amount of EUR 168k was associated with legal advices
and support related to the transaction with Arcona (EUR 29k in 2020), while an
amount of EUR 123k was associated with the change of custodian due to Brexit
and the need to provide relevant legal opinion to Euroclear (EUR 0 in 2020).
In discontinued operations, an amount of EUR 48k is related to the
re-financing of EOS property, including also the associated notary and
relevant fees for acquiring the asset from the leasing company.
12. Administration Expenses (continued)
Corporate operating expenses include office expenses, travel expenses,
(tele)communication expenses, D&O insurance and all other general expenses
for Cypriot, Romanian and Ukrainian operations. Current increase is a result
of the considerably higher cost for the D&O insurance policy, following
the general increase of such premiums in the insurance market.
The annual Directors fees including Chairman and Committee remunerations have
been set at GBP 129k. In 2021 the Company posted also fees from previous
periods which were not included previously in Company's books and presented as

confident that we will be awarded the lease extension once the war status
permits.
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
During the reporting period the Group proceeded with selling properties
classified under Investment Property (Romanian residential assets) designated
as non-core assets. The gain/ (losses) from disposal of such properties are
presented below:
14.1 Investment property
During 2021 the Group sold 7 villas in Greenlake Parcel K, 5 apartments in
Monaco Towers and 1 apartment, 3 parking spaces in Zizin.
In 2020 the Group sold 5 villas in Greenlake Parcel K, 1 apartment and 3
parking spaces in Romfelt Plaza (Doamna Ghica) and 3 apartments, 3 parking

Interest income from non-bank loans reflects income from loans granted by the
Group for financial assistance to associates. This amount includes also
interest on Loan receivables from 3(rd) parties provided as an advance payment
for acquiring a participation in an investment property portfolio (Olympians
portfolio) in Romania. The funds provided initially with a convertibility
option which was not exercised, and is currently treated as a loan.
According to the last addendum, the loan had certain one-off payments for a
period until 30 June 20202 which has to be re-paid in full. The loan is
bearing a fixed interest rate of 10% and the Company has initiated the process
of getting agreed security in the form of pledge of shares following relevant
provisions in the initial Loan Agreement.
Borrowing interest expense represents interest expense charged on Bank and
non-Bank borrowings (Note 31).
Finance leasing interest expenses relate to the sale and lease back agreements
of the Group. The decrease of finance leasing interest during 2021 is due to
the fact that the leasing loan with Alpha Bank Romania SA was repaid and a new
bank loan was granted(Note 36).
Finance charges and commissions include regular banking commissions and
various fees paid to Banks.
Bonds interest represent interest calculated for the bonds issued by the
Company during 2018 (Note 32).
Interest on taxes posted in 2020 is related to interest charges on taxes
associated with the tax audit of all Cypriot entities of the Group for all
periods up to 2015, which follow a certain repayment schedule via the local
Ariadne repayment program.

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.
· 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 65% leased at the
end of the reporting period.
Residential Assets
The Company owns a residential portfolio, consisting at the end of the
reporting period of 2 villas in GreenLake Residential complex, owned by
Moselin Investments Srl. The associate company Green Lake Developments Srl
owns 9 more 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). It is situated in the northern part
of Bucharest on the bank of Grivita Lake in Bucharest. SPDI owns ~44% of these
plots, but has effective management control.

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.

The Group proceeded with an impairment of €297.200 for Monaco Towers
(company SecMon Real Estate Srl) in 2018 for which following the court
decision for entering into insolvency in January 2018, the Company lost the
control over the asset and as such it was reclassified as Financial assets at
fair value through OCI as per table below (where the fair value of the
property was adjusted at 80% of its value) and maintained as such until 2020.
However, during 2021 the SPV exited insolvency status successfully by repaying
back its loan and following the relevant Court procedures, the Group re-gained
full control and as a result SecMon Real Estate Srl is included in current
consolidation.

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 and Greece. In respect of Romanian and Greek tax
systems, 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. Nevertheless, with the sale of the Bulgarian and Greek assets,
such risk has been effectively minimized.
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 hearing of the combined
cases in front of Cypriot Courts has been set in September 2022.
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 2021.
41. Commitments
The Group had no other commitments as at 31 December 2021.
42. Financial Risk Management
42.1 Capital Risk Management
The Group manages its capital to ensure adequate liquidity will be able to
implement its stated growth strategy in order 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 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), 2021, cash and cash equivalent
(including continued and discontinued operations) financial assets amounted to
€2.555.246 (2020: €870.647) of which approx. €1.910 in UAH and
€447.813 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 €9.726.465
(31 December 2020: €8.474.838) 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.

42.4 Economic Market Risk Management (continued)
Interest Rate Risk (continued)
As at 31 December 2021 the weighted average interest rate for all the
interest bearing borrowing and financial leases of the Group stands at 5,07%
(31 December 2020: 4%).

interest calculation on the borrowings principal outstanding as at
31 December 2021 is presented below:

Weighted average interest rate 4% 5% 6%
%Influence on yearly finance costs 73.949 147.898
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. 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) War in Ukraine
In light of Russian military activity in Ukraine started in February 2022, the
Company temporarily closed its Ukrainian office in Kiev and is housing some
family members of its Ukrainian staff in Romania. The office re-opened in May
and since then business is running according to the conditions imposed by the
ongoing war.
Group's assets in Ukraine consist of non-generating income land plots and as
such the financial impact of the invasion is expected to be minimal, although
the economic instability brought by the war is expected to affect private
investment activity and the overall local real estate market. Starting from
2022 interim consolidated accounts, local assets will be realued affecting the
net asset value of the Group. In current period the contributed value of
Ukrainian assets is €3,6 milion.
b) Arcona Property Fund N.V. transaction
Following the conditional Implementation Agreement signed between the Company
and Arcona Property Fund N.V. in December 2018 for the sale of Company's
portfolio of assets in an all share transaction, and the completion of Stage 1
of the transaction in February 2020 with the sale of Boyana in Bulgaria, which
followed the Ukrainian Bella and Balabino asset disposals in Q4 2019, the two
parties signed in June 2021 SPAs related to Stage 2 of the transaction which
involves EOS and Delenco assets in Romania, and Kiyanovskiy and Rozny land
plots in Ukraine. The total value of the transaction upon closing of such
agreements is expected to reach c.€8,2 million, payable in Arcona shares and
warrants valued at NAV plus ~€1 million in cash. Final figures are subject
to, inter alia, standard form adjustment and finalization in accordance with
the agreements.
Following SPA signing as per above, during March and June 2022 the transfers
of Delenco and EOS assets in Romania to Arcona Property Fund N.V. were
concluded, in exchange for the issue to SPDI of 479.376 new shares in Arcona
and 115.543 warrants over shares in Arcona.
c) Re-payment of corporate loan
During 2022 SPDI re-paid fully the corporate loan granted by Safe Growth
Investments on November 11(th), 2020 for an amount of EUR 1mil. In particular,
the loan was re-paid in two tranches, one of € 600.000 on January 6th, 2022
and one of € 400.000 on April 1(st), 2022.
d) Final acquisition of 50% of Vic City shareholder SPV
Based on the relevant agreement in 2021, the Company, in February 2022,
acquired 50% of the share capital of Equardo Limited, an SPV holding stake
in Victoria City (Vic City) project in Bucharest. The participation took place
through a share capital increase of the order of € 8.000, where the
remaining shareholders waived their right to participate. Vic City is a
development land in north Bucharest on Bucuresti Noi Boulevard near a metro
station, where a commercial mixed used center was to be developed. The project
was to be contributed to SPDI by its promoters at the time, but neither its
development nor its contribution progressed due to other priorities. SPDI
participated in Equardo Limited so as to retain some of the value originally
destined to be part of its asset portfolio.
