37. Contingent Liabilities 
 
37.1 Tax Litigation 
 
The Group performed during the reporting period a 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 authorized 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 subsequent calendar years; however, under certain circumstances a
tax year may remain open for longer. 
 
The Group performed during the reporting period part of its operations also in Romania, Greece and Bulgaria. In respect of
Romanian, Bulgarian and Greek taxation systems all are subject to varying interpretation and to constant changes, which may
be retroactive. In certain circumstances the tax authorities can be arbitrary in certain cases. 
 
These facts create tax risks which are substantially more significant than those typically found in countries with more
developed tax systems. Management believes that it has adequately 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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements, if the authorities were
successful in enforcing their interpretations, could be significant. 
 
At the same time the Group's entities are involved in court proceedings with tax authorities; Management believes that the
estimates provided within the financial statements present a reasonable estimate of the outcome of these court cases. 
 
37.2 Construction related litigation 
 
There are no material claims from contractors due to the postponement of construction/development projects or delayed
delivery other than those disclosed in the financial statements. 
 
37.3 Delia Lebada srl debt towards Bank of Cyprus 
 
Sec South East Continent Unique Real Estate (SECURED) Investment Ltd has provided in 2007 a corporate guarantee to the Bank
of Cyprus in respect to the loan provided by the latter to its subsidiary Delia Lebada SRL, the owner of the Pantelimon
Lake plot (Note 17). As the loan is in default, the bank has initiated an insolvency procedure. In July 2017 the Company
concluded its discussions with the bank and settled all debts and guarantees (Note 40.1). The final cost has been fully
provided for as per management earlier estimates. 
 
37.4 Other Litigation 
 
The Company has a number of 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. 
 
37.5 Other Contingent Liabilities 
 
The Group had no other contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2017. 
 
38. Commitments 
 
The Group had no other commitments as at 30 June 2017. 
 
39. Financial Risk Management 
 
39.1 Capital Risk Management 
 
The capital structure of the Group consists of borrowings (Note 28), trade and other payables (Note 29) deposits from
tenants (Note 30), financial leases (Note 32), taxes payable (Note 31) and equity attributable to ordinary or preferred
shareholders. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. 
 
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 property 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.

39.3 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. 
 
39.4 Economic Market Risk Management 
 
The Group operates in Romania, Bulgaria, Greece 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 to the Group's manner in which it 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 contain 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 interest-bearing assets. On June 30th, 2016, cash and cash equivalent financial assets amounted to
E763.907 (31 December 2015: E 895.422) of which approx. E2.000 in UAH, E260.000 in RON and E150.000 in BGN (Note 21) while
the remaining are mainly denominated in either USD or E. 
 
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its borrowings amounting to E37.369.455 (31December 2016:
E48.475.454) 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.
Following the sale of Terminal Brovary (Note 17) the debt exposure of the Group has been reduced reduced by E11m. 
 
The Group's exposures to financial risk are discussed also in Note 5.

As at 30 June 2017 the average interest rate for all the interest bearing borrowing and financial leases of the Group
stands at 4,70% (31 December 2016: 5,32%).

The Group's exposures to financial risk are discussed also in Note 5. 
 
39.5 Credit Risk Management 
 
The Group has no significant credit risk exposure. The credit risk emanating from the liquid funds is limited because the
Group's counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies. The Credit risk
of receivables is reduced as the majority of the receivables represent VAT to be offset through VAT income in the future.
In respect of receivables from tenants these are kept to a minimum of 2 months and are monitored closely. 
 
39.6 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 Treasury function is also in discussions with the various lending institutions which have provided debt to
several of the Company's property acquisitions to free as much cash us possible. Pursuant to the financial crisis of the
last few years, lending institutions have tightened their control over property cash flows in order to secure their debt
holdings and as a result they allow only minor percentage of the properties' cash inflows to the Company. 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.

39.7 Net Current Liabilities 
 
The current liabilities amounting to E22.945.163 exceed current assets amounting to E10.573.947 by E12.371.216. This
difference is primarily a result of the bank borrowings related to: 
 
a) the residential portfolio E5.863.425 that are repayable by ongoing sales proceeds, whenever these occur but according to
the IFRS appear to be repayable within the next 12 months, 
 
b) an amount of E6.594.396, registered as the total liability to the Bank of Cyprus (Delia Lebada Invest Srl loan). 
 
Considering the above current assets are higher than current liabilities by E86.605. 
 
40. Events after the end of the reporting period 
 
40.1 Profitable Disposal of Delia Lebada Land in Bucharest 
 
On 26th July the Company announced the disposal of Delia Lebada ("the Disposal"), a ~40,000 sqm (4 hectare) plot of land in
east Bucharest on the shore of Pantelimon Lake in which  SPDI owned a 65%. The attributable sale proceeds are approximately
E2,5 million and simultaneously, the associated property loan (principal and interest) totaling more than E6,5 million with
the Bank of Cyprus was settled through a liquidation process, and the associated corporate guarantee was released. The loan
was repaid at a rate of 45 cents / Euro (totalling ~E3 million) using a combination of the Land Disposal proceeds (E2,5
million) and an additional payment of approximately E550.000. Following completion of the process the Company will retain a
5% interest in the Special-Purpose Vehicle ("SPV") which will hold the land asset post disposal debt free. 
 
40.2 Conditional Sale of Kiyanovski Land in Kiev, Ukraine 
 
On 4th July the Company announced the conditional sale of its Kiyanovski land asset ('Kiyanovski') in central Kiev, in
Ukraine to Riverside Developments ('Riverside'), a large Ukrainian developer, for a price to be finally determined at
closing but will be in excess of US$3 million (which reflects approximately the valuation at the year-end accounts).  As
part of a pre-Sale and Purchase Agreement ('the Agreement') signed by both parties, Riverside paid SPDI a total down
payment of US$150.000, out of which an amount of US$100.000 is non-refundable deposit, in exchange for being granted a
period of four months during which it will seek to obtain a construction permit to develop Kiyanovski.  Subject to the
issue of the permit and other relevant authorisations, both parties will sign a Sale and Purchase Agreement covering the
sale of Kiyanovski. 
 
40.3  Finance director appointment 
 
The board wants to thank the CFO, Bitros Constantinos, for his long standing services to the Company as these would be the
last financial statements he will be preparing. Constantinos Bitros will continue offering his services to the Company in
the asset management context. From now on the financial statements will be prepared by Mr. Theofanis Antoniou, Finance
Director, who has acted as the finance director of several companies including two property companies active in the South
East Europe region (with emphasis in Greece and Bulgaria) as well as of the parent company of an AIM listed company active
in the IT sector.
