1. Letter to the Shareholders
Dear shareholder,
20th March 2013
2012 could be remembered in the future as the year when Europe began to finally act towards
overcoming the troubles it has been battling since the onset of the financial crisis at the end of 2007. A
combination of election results and institutional (ECB, Eurogroup, etc) decisions brought a turnaround in
the sentiment and signalled hope for the continent’s economics and currency. Unfortunately the positive
sentiments were shortlived and events in March of 2013 signalled, yet again, increased uncertainty and
doubt on the future of the European experiment. For our Company, 2012 was the year of its re-birth. We
completed the turnaround that had started a year earlier and, perhaps more importantly, we commenced
the implementation of our growth strategy. As a result, the Company is now well positioned and looks
forward to a brighter future.
The turnaround effort assumed by the new management in August 2011 was effectively completed by
mid-2012. More specifically, during this period the Company’s annual revenues increased by a factor of 4,
while its annual operating costs decreased by over 50%. The liabilities / payables of the Company were
reduced by a factor of 7 and as a result of all this the Company’s net equity increased by a factor of 4
(compared to August 2011).
As a result of the improvements detailed above, we are very pleased to be able to report an increase in
operating profit of almost 200% to $2.3m (2011: $0.8m) and a return to profitability for the first time in
years with profits before tax of $145,000 compared to a loss of $843,999 in 2011.
As difficult it is to achieve such immense transformation by itself, our Company effected this turnaround
while in a mode of intensive cost minimisation and liquidity constraints highlighted and anchored by the
management and board members decision to defer their salaries until such transformation is completed.
Furthermore, as the liquidity needs of the Company grew, reflecting increasing past liabilities, more
capital became available both through Narrowpeak, the key turnaround investor, as well as from other
existing and new shareholders, contributing a total of $4m during the year (both in equity and debt), as
per the original 2011 plan.
The end of the turnaround process was signalled by the change of the Company’s name to SECURE
Property Development and Investment, borrowing the name and logo from SECURE Management,
Narrowpeak's property operational affiliate with extensive track record and goodwill in the region.
On the asset management front, the Company’s key income producing asset, Terminal Brovary,
started the year with half occupancy, and a new commercial manager. Throughout the year, intensive
asset management efforts brought success in leasing all the warehouse area of Brovary (90% of total
Gross Leasable Area) at rates 20% higher than the existing average rent at last year’s end and 40%
higher than the average rent of the pre-restructuring era. By attracting internationally renowned tenants
such as Amway, Rhenus, FM Logistics, Sigma Bleyzer, Pernod Ricard and Billa and by increasing annual
cashflow from the property to $3.5m we have been able to create an institutional quality logistics asset.
Having successfully executed the turnaround plan and completed its task of leasing Brovary so that it
provides a healthy level of recurring and visible revenue, the management of the Company put in place
the first stage of its Growth Plan. This strategy involves expanding and diversifying into other South East
European countries, and particularly Romania and Bulgaria, by acquiring high value and/or high value
added property assets with considerable upside potential.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 4
The South East European region has witnessed a substantial economic slow-down during the last four
years, mostly as a collateral damage of the Euro and Greek crisis. It is noteworthy that a large
percentage of both Romania’s and Bulgaria’s banking systems are owned by Greek and Austrian banks,
which, despite being healthy enough themselves, suffered from the deleveraging imposed on them and
necessitated by their international parent banks. This slow down caused a shock in the regional property
markets creating a step down in demand, a liquidity crunch, leverage unavailability and a consequent
collapse in property prices. In turn, this has generated a substantial number of distressed projects and
property owners.
Despite these factors, the economies in the region still grew at a higher rate than the European average,
and they command better fundamentals than their peers in the Eurozone’s periphery. With low
unemployment, minimal private and low government debt (as a percentage of GDP), a very well
educated workforce and (for Romania) a strong industrial base, these economies are poised to continue
to outperform as the market improves.
The property markets of the South East European countries opened up to foreign funded
development and investment later than any in East Europe, with mass FDI influx being seen as late as
2005. Consequently, not much new property stock had time to be built before the global financial crisis
impacted the region (late 2008). Consequently, the needs of the market (ie demand) are substantially
greater than both current, and, more importantly, potential near term supply. As such the region
combines good economic and excellent property market fundamentals, a rare combination which is
difficult to find anywhere in the world without a consequential over-inflation of pricing attached to it.
The Company’s strategy is to expand in the region now that prices are still reeling from the crisis shock
and take advantage of underpriced assets or distress opportunities similar to the turnaround of the
Company itself effected in the last 16 months in order to create value through its own asset management
and take advantage of any improvement in market sentiment.
In the last quarter of 2012 the Company embarked on a fundraising effort to attract new investors that
share its strategic view of the market opportunity and, in February 2013, the Company announced that it
had raised $17m of fresh capital from a number of well respected individual and institutional
shareholders. We have begun the process of putting these proceeds to work having already agreed
heads of terms for the acquisition of an income producing commercial asset in Bucharest. This, along
with the other opportunities we are assessing, will help further strengthen the Company’s ability to
generate recurring income and offer the potential for value enhancement through capital appreciation.
The fundraising effort will continue as and when new interesting opportunities for acquisition are
identified.
The Company now scarcely resembles the troubled entity it was only 18 months ago. With a new name
and vision, a new strategy focussed on growth and a committed management team, SECURE Property
and its shareholders have every right to raise their expectations. As the management who have
spearheaded this turnaround and are directing SECURE Property’s future course, we can assure both the
old investors, who have endured the difficult times and kept faith, as well as the new investors, who
share our dream and vision, that we will do everything it takes to maintain the positive momentum
already achieved and attain an even brighter future for our Company.
Best regards,

2. Management Report
2.1.
Corporate Overview & Financial Performance
The Company’s management spent the better part of 2012 completing its
turnaround both by continuing to reduce and control costs, and also putting heavy
emphasis on increasing revenue generation by substantially improving occupancy
at Terminal Brovary. At the same time we addressed and settled most of the pre-
August 2011 liabilities both in a friendly basis, through out of court settlements as
well as through the court system.
Most notably, in July 2012 the Company reached an out of court settlement with
UVK, previously a potential Brovary tenant, over a $1.5m claim which had been
ongoing for more than three years and was settled, after a series of court hearings,
at a significant discount to the nominal amount of the claim.
While dealing with those financial and legal liabilities, the management took
substantial care in managing the liquidity of the Company, given the limited
resources available to it. In addition, the Company succeeded in attracting over
$4m of fresh capital with $2.3 million being raised through the issue of new
ordinary shares during the first half of the year and, in October, raising $1.7m in
debt. This was paramount in ensuring that liquidity did not hold the company back
from achieving its ambitions.
By the end of the year, the Company was much leaner both in terms of
administrative expenses, (reduced from $5.5m in 2011 to $3.2m in 2012) and in
terms of human resources (reduced by 46% over the previous year).
This progress was then built on when, in February 2013, the Company raised a
further $17m from the issue of new ordinary shares, securing sufficient funds to
provide medium term liquidity and to start investing for growth.
With the past liabilities being addressed, management has gradually shifted more
of its efforts to identifying growth opportunities and to try raising capital in order to
take advantage of them. Indeed, and as a means to diversify risk various income
producing properties have been identified and contracted for acquisition via Head
of Terms expected to materialize during 2013.
In its push to further improve Corporate Governance, SECURE Property attracted
two new heavyweight non-executive directors during the first half of the year.
Harin Thaker, the former Head of Real Estate Finance International at PBB
Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG, a specialist lender in real estate finance and public
sector finance, and Alvaro Portela, the previous Executive President and Chief
Executive Officer of Sonnae Sierra, a global leader in retail property development
and management, leading global retail property company, joined the Board
bringing vast expertise and knowledge of both the region and the subject matter.
In a nutshell
Corporate
Governance
As mandated by the Board in early 2012, the Audit Committee introduced new
audit procedures to enhance the Board’s supervisory and controlling capabilities. To
that effect the Audit Committee has also been in contact with the Auditor of the
Company both to verify the working of the 2011 audit as well as for the timely
preparation of the 2012 audit.
Audit
Committee
The Board’s Remuneration Committee prepared the outline of a new incentive and
compensation scheme that will be offered to the Company’s management
executives and directors and will help align interests, while rewarding for high
performance and creation of shareholder value.

The Board is ultimately responsible for the Group’s financial reporting, internal
control and risk management systems. The Finance Department prepares detailed
budgets and cash flow projections, which are approved annually by the Board and
financial control is the
updated regularly throughout the year. Ongoing
responsibility of the management. A control structure is in place with defined
delegated authorities and signatory rights for both management decisions and cash
payments throughout the Group.
Internal Audit
and Control
The Company’s turnaround is most clearly demonstrated by its financial
performance for the year in comparison with the previous one. Income increased
by 400% to $2.1 million, while operating expenses decreased by 40% to $3.2m.
This resulted in an EBITDA improvement of 290% to $2.3m and a NPAT of $60,000
(2011: Loss of $1.1m).

Property Holdings
The Company's portfolio, currently entirely focused on Ukraine, comprises of one
income producing property and four development projects at different stages in the
development process.
Property
Assets
Terminal Brovary Logistic Park consists of a 49,180 sqm Class A warehouse and
associated office space, situated on the junction of the main Kyiv – Moscow
highway and the Borispil road. The facility has been in operation since Q1 2010 and
as at the end of the reporting period was 84% leased.
Bela Logistic Centre is a 22.4 ha plot in Odessa situated on the main highway to
Kyiv. Following the issuance of permits in 2008, below ground construction for the
development of a 103,000 sqm GBA logistic centre commenced. Construction was
put on hold in 2009 due to the global economic crisis. During 2012 we have held
negotiations with a number of interested parties with regard to a possible sale of
this asset.
Kiyanovsky Lane consists of four adjacent plots of land, totaling 0.55 ha
earmarked for a residential development, which are well located, overlooking the
scenic Dnipro River, St. Michaels’s Spires and historic Podil neighborhood.
Tsymlyanski Lane is a 0.36 ha plot of land located in the historic Podil District of
Kyiv earmarked for the development of a residential complex.
Balabino project is a 26.38 ha plot of land situated on the south entrance of
Zaporozhye, a city in the south of Ukraine with a population of 800,000 people.
Balabino is zoned for retail and entertainment development.

The Group’s overall debt exposure at the reporting date comprises of a $15.5m
net construction loan to Aisi Brovary from EBRD, which was originally restructured
in June 2011, and a $1.7m loan from a related party. In June 2012 the Company
engaged in discussions with EBRD in order to match cash inflows from the asset
with the debt amortization plan. Overall the Group's gearing ratio (debt/equity)
stands at 0.54x.

2013 and beyond
At the end of 2012 and into 2013 the real estate market has started to show signs
of recovery. The Euro collapse having been averted last year, the European banks
are pushing forward with their deleveraging plans, raising hopes that some forms of
leverage will become increasingly available this year. The Greek banks (owners of a
large number of banking institutions in both Ukraine and other countries of South
East Europe) have also been saved by the European bailout mechanism and are in
the process of being recapitalized, signaling a turn towards business as usual in the
not too distant future. Conclusive elections in both Ukraine and Romania in the last
quarter of the year offer further political stability, a necessary base for any property
market upswing.
2013 will be the first year in many that the Company follows a growth path. Having
raised fresh capital in February , the Company is planning to expand regionally by
acquiring good underpriced income producing assets, as well as exploiting other
high upside potential opportunities, in a distressed market environment. In line with
its policy of pursuing best practice and robust corporate governance, the Company
will keep its cost minimization policies and risk control practices, ensuring both its
financial health and its successful contribution to its social and physical
environment.

Ukraine
3. Regional Economic Developments 1
The Ukrainian economy recorded in the third quarter of 2012 negative growth for
the first time since Q4 2009. The annual GDP growth declined by 1.3% in Q3
mainly reflecting the impact of the summer drought on agricultural output. Overall
GDP growth for 2012 is expected at 0.4%. The negative signs can be attributed
more to external (global) demand factors.
The Current Account Deficit (“CAD”) widened further in November, bringing the
12-month rolling CAD at 8.3% of GDP compared with 6.2% at the end of 2011
due to a sharp deterioration in the terms of trade driven by weaker trade activity
with Russia and EU (representing 50% of exports, weaker commodity prices
(steel price fell by 25%, which represents 30% of exports) and eroding
competitiveness. Private consumption remained in positive territory, posting a
growth of 12% yoy in Q3 supported by the initiation of populist measures by the
government in May, ahead of the Q4 2012 parliamentary elections with real
wages posting a double-digit growth rate of 14% yoy in Q3 2012. On the other
end of the spectrum, private investment growth turned negative in Q3 2012 (-
2.9% y-o-y, following eight successive quarters of strong growth), reflecting the
completion of the Euro-2012 construction projects.
In November’s parliamentary elections, President Yanukovich's Party of Regions
did not perform as well as was widely expected, even though it is still holding a
majority with the help of the Communist Party. However, this moderate outcome
influences the authorities' willingness to address a hefty twin deficits problem,
scheduled IMF repayments and declining FX reserves (putting UAH under
pressure despite the Ukrainian authorities effort of buying time throughout 2012
by rolling over loans to Russia, limiting gas imports and issuing debt in USD).
Even in the case that Ukraine makes a new agreement with the IMF, most of the
IMF funding will be used for the rollover of the current outstanding payments,
making it imperative for Ukraine to be able to access the markets. Another option
for funding is Russia, but this will mean a step further away from the EU.
Romania
The election victory of the Social Liberal Union (USL) was affirmed through a vote
of confidence in late-December. Immediately afterwards the IMF mission returned
to Bucharest for the conclusion of the seventh and eighth reviews of Romania’s
precautionary agreement, mainly focused on the preparation of 2013 budget and
identification of the measures required to reduce the fiscal deficit to 1.8% of GDP
as well as the implementation of the substantially delayed structural reforms
(especially in state-owned enterprises).
The Romanian economy contracted by 0.6% yoy (down 0.5% q-o-q) in Q3 2012,
following six consecutive quarters of positive annual growth, having been mainly
affected by the lower agricultural output due to summer drought as well as the
political uncertainty before the 2012 elections. Overall, Romania's economy
growth for 2012 is estimated at circa 0.2%.

In terms of the main GDP components, private consumption contracted by
1.5%yoy in Q3 (down from +1.8%yoy in Q2) influenced by lower real wages
(despite public wages hikes) and higher food and energy prices. In the same vein,
exports and imports contracted by 4.2% yoy and 1.9% yoy in Q3 compared to
+0.7% yoy and +0.2% yoy in Q2 respectively. In addition, investments
decelerated to +9.9% yoy, down from +15.2% yoy in Q2, backed by the decline
of public investment in the construction sector due to the underperformance in EU
funds absorption. The EU funds absorption rate has reached a mere 8% against
an ambitious government target of 19%. Funds earmarked for investments in the
budget were cut in order to finance the public wages hikes as part of the budget
revision in 2012.
In December 2012, headline inflation rose to 5% yoy from 4.6% in November,
above National Bank of Romania’s (NBR) target range of 3+1%, influenced by the
hike in regulated electricity price and higher food prices. The depreciation of the
RON against EUR by 5% in 2012 (adjusting for the latter, end-year inflation is
estimated at 3.5%) is also having a negative effect on the economic climate
although at year end the trend has partially reversed. Despite the high headline
inflation, the NBR Board left the monetary policy rate unchanged at a record low
of 5.25% for a ninth consecutive month, at its first meeting in 2013, due to weak
economic activity.
The positive news came from international debt markets where Romania over
performed by selling EUR 2.25bn and $2.25bn of debt in 2012. In addition, in
local markets, following the well received election result, interest for two post-
election debt issuances was significantly higher, leading to a slight decrease in
yields at an average yield of 6.57% from 6.66% and an oversubscription of both.
Bulgaria
The Bulgarian economy grew at a steady pace in Q3-2012, at 0.5% yoy, the same
as in Q2 2012, indicating overall GDP growth for 2012 at 0.6%. On the positive
side, several important indicators outperformed during Q3 showing encouraging
signs for the Bulgarian economy. But the economy faces greater risk in 2013,
following the resignation of the government in February and the fact that
elections are ahead.
Consumption has exceeded expectations for the second consecutive quarter,
staying at +3% yoy in Q3 (+3.2% yoy in Q2), driven by relatively high real wages
(+5.7% yoy in Q3) and the seasonal improvement in labour market conditions
(unemployment improved to 11.5% in Q3, down from 12.3% in Q2 and a peak of
12.9% in Q1, the highest level in 2009-2012).
Investments moved into positive territory for the first time since Q4-2008, rising
by 1% yoy in Q3 compared to a contraction of 2.1% yoy in Q2, 5.4% yoy in Q1
and 10.4% yoy in Q4 2011. Investment’s share to GDP had dropped to 23% in
2011 against a record high at 37% in 2008. The main driver behind investment
growth was the higher absorption rate of EU funds while the post-crisis drop in
investments is largely explained by the decline of FDI inflows (from €9 bn in 2007
to €1.4bn in 2011).

After reducing the budget deficit down to 2.1% of GDP in 2011, Bulgaria was the
first country to exit the excessive deficit process. Fiscal metrics have continued to
improve in 2012 and the fiscal deficit is currently on track to narrow to 0.9% of
GDP. This would be better than the government had planned (2012 deficit target
was set at 1.3% of GDP) and would imply a sizeable underlying fiscal tightening
of ~1.2% of GDP. For 2013, the government plans to pause its fiscal
consolidation efforts (budget will target a deficit of 1.35% of the GDP).
Current Account reversed to a deficit of 0.1% of GDP in January-October 2012
against a 1.9% surplus in January-October 2011 mainly due to the deterioration
in the trade deficit. The trade deficit doubled, from 3.8% of GDP in January-
October 2011, to 7.8% of GDP in January-October 2012. On the other hand, the
surplus of services improved marginally to 6.1% of GDP in January-October 2012
against 5.8% in January-October 2011, current transfers improved to 4.1% of
GDP January-October 2012, compared to 3.7% a year ago and the income deficit
improved to 2.5% of GDP in January-October 2012 against 3.7% at the same
period a year ago, however without being enough to counterbalance the
deterioration of the trade balance. Headline inflation has resumed its upward
trend, reaching 4.2% yoy in December against 3.9% in November mainly due to
a surge in food and electricity prices.

4. Real Estate Market Developments 2
4.1. Ukraine
During 2012, prime yields in Ukraine remained high compared to other European
countries even though a slight compression was recorded, especially in the first
semester of the year.
General
At the end of 2012, rents for prime warehouse space in the Greater Kyiv area
stood at $5.5-6.5/sqm/month (net of VAT and operating expenses) topped by
$0.5-1/sq m/month of expenses. In addition, vacancy rates for prime warehouse
space decreased further to below 8% due to limited new supply and steady
demand. The healthy leasing activity of retail operators combined with the
positive indicators of the logistics market present the first signs of market
recovery.
Logistics Market
Activity in the office market during 2012 was mainly based on relocations to
larger premises or better located and/or higher quality buildings. The main source
of demand was from manufacturing, IT and business services companies. Due to

Local anchors continued to lead the Ukrainian retail market while new
international retailers continued to enter the market primarily at major new
schemes such as “Ocean Plaza”, the first superregional shopping center. The
strengthening confidence of developers and investors in the market has the
potential lead to a significant increase in new delivery in the sector, which
remains fundamentally undersupplied, with the vacancy rate for quality retail
spaces below 2.5%.

4.2. Romania
The overall investment volume in 2012 was limited as both the local and
international political and economical uncertainties made most potential investors
adopt a wait and see approach. However, there are a number of medium size
investors active in the market and looking to take advantage of the opportunistic
nature of the market. In Q3 2012 the total investment volume transacted was
€140.2m, representing a 183% increase against the same period of previous
year.
The main driver of Romanian logistics market remained the build-to-suit schemes
with other types of development being really scarce. Despite the fact that take-up
dropped in 2012 compared with 2011, when it reached the highest level tracked
since 2008, it still outweighs the new supply resulting in rental and vacancy rates
being maintained at the same levels of $4-5/sqm/month and 10% respectively.

The volume of net transactional activity remained at the same level as in 2011, at
180,000 sqm dominated by the Technology & Communication sector (56% of net
take-up volume). The prime rent remains unchanged from the previous quarter,
situated at EUR 18.5-19/sqm/month for CBD buildings. Meanwhile, the average
vacancy in Bucharest is at 14.5-15.5%, registering a slight increase from last year
mainly driven by the addition of new supply to the total existing stock of office
space in Bucharest.
Office Market
The increased interest of international retailers to enter or expand their share in
the Romanian retail market continued in the last quarter of 2012. As the supply of
new shopping centers was limited, the increased demand is mainly absorbed by
existing centers, which offered important incentives in order to renew their tenant
mix, with well known international brands as H&M, C&A, Deichman, New Yorker,
Inditex group, in an effort to improve their results. Prime rent and vacancy rate
remained stable at EUR 60-70/sqm/month and 9-10% respectively.

4.3. Bulgaria
The level of activity in the Bulgarian property market remained sluggish during
the 2012 with no significant investment deals. The main reasons for this were the
lack of financing and liquidity, as well as the general economic and political
problems in the eurozone.
General
As in Romania, the new supply in the logistics market in Bulgaria was dominated
by owner-occupied and built-to-suit schemes. Notably though the limited new
supply in combination with the shortage of available modern logistics space lead
to a further decrease of vacancy rate to 5.2% compared to 5.5% in Q3 and 6.4%
in Q2, as demand picked up supported by automotive and electronics supply
chains, which move to the Eastern Europe in search of cost savings and
operational flexibility.
Logistics Market
The activity in the Bulgarian office market continued to increase, however the
volume of absorbed office space matches the new office supply. In that vein,
prime office rents remained stable with only the annual indexation influencing
their levels, while prime quality office buildings gradually increased their
occupancy level. The top 10 grade A office projects on the market recorded over
82% occupancy.

7. Report of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors presents its report and the audited consolidated financial statements of SPDI SECURE
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT & INVESTMENT PLC (“SECURE PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT & INVESTMENT PLC” or the
“Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the year ended 31 December 2012.
Principal activities
The principal activities of the Group, which are unchanged from last year, are directly or indirectly to invest in
and/or manage real estate properties as well as real estate development projects in Central, East and South East
Europe (the "Region"). These include the acquisition, development, operation and selling of property assets, in
major population centres in the Region.
Name Change
Following a decision by the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting held on 26th of November 2012 AISI Realty Public Ltd
has been renamed to SPDI SECURE PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT & INVESTMENT PLC.
Review of current position, future developments and significant risks
Throughout the year management has worked towards settling all past liabilities while increasing the letting of
Terminal Brovary warehouse, the only income producing asset of the Group. Having achieved a letting rate of
84% at the end of the year, and by having cut operating costs by more than 50% it is essentially expected that
the Group will turn to be cash flow positive in 2013. Furthermore the Board of Directors expects that the
proceeds of the capital increase received at the beginning of 2013 as a result of implementing the strategic plan
for growth will enable the Group to acquire income yielding properties in the Region and further enhance its
financial results.
The most significant risks faced by the Group and the steps taken to manage these risks are described in notes 4
and 26 of the consolidated financial statements.
Results and Dividends
The Group's results for the year are set out on page 29. The Board of Directors does not recommend the
payment of a dividend.

8. Chairman’s Statement
Following the transformation of 2011, 2012 has been a year of consolidation for the Group, which has emerged
much stronger, and is poised for further positive changes in 2013. High on the list of achievements in 2012 were
the successful leasing of the remainder of Brovary Terminal, which helped to enable the company to achieve a
small net profit of $61.550, compared the $1,1m loss of the previous year. The high quality tenants that have
signed new leases at Brovary are doing so at rates 20% than the average rent at the end of 2011, a testament
both to the capabilities of the new management team and the much better market conditions for logistics
operators in Ukraine in 2012, a trend which looks likely to continue due to a lack of new facilities and steady
growth in demand. Also encouraging was the raising of new equity in early 2013, which will enable the Group to
embark on its growth plan in 2013, which will diversify the Group’s exposure with the purchase of Grade A
investment properties on low valuations in Romania and Bulgaria, markets that offer stable income flows and
considerable upside in the future through yield compression from their current depressed levels. The Group is
firmly on track to achieve its goal of being cash flow positive in 2013.
During 2012 the Board was considerably strengthened with the addition of two new members, Harin Thaker and
Alvaro Portela, both of whom have had long and highly successful careers in property. I would like to welcome
them, and thank the rest of the Board and Management for their tireless dedication in what has remained a very
difficult environment in European capital markets, especially for smaller companies like ours.
These achievements were made in what has remained a very difficult environment in European capital markets,
especially for smaller companies like ours. I would like to thank the Management and Board for their tireless
dedication in overcoming these challenges. The Group is still very much on track to achieve much more in coming
years.

Report on the consolidated financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of SPDI Secure Property Development &
Investment Plc (formerly Aisi Realty Public Limited) (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together with the
Company, the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012,
and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then
ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Board of Directors’ responsibility for the consolidated financial statements
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair
view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the
requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material
misstatement whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of
consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group
as at 31 December 2012, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of the
Cyprus Companies Law, Cap113.
Emphasis of matters
We draw attention to Notes 3, 4 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements, which describe the following
matters:

(a)
Going concern
We have considered the adequacy of the disclosure in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements concerning the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As at 31 December 2012 the Group’s current liabilities exceed its
current assets by US$14.313.319. At that date, the Company was in breach of payment covenants relating to the
loan from EBRD of US$16.388.976. Thus this loan was repayable on demand and has been classified in current
liabilities creating a material uncertainty and thus doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
As of the date of this report the breach has been rectified and the Company is in discussions with EBRD for a
potential restructuring of the loan. Moreover, the Company has received in February 2013 the proceeds from a share
capital increase amounting to US$17.045.000.
(b)
Valuation of investment properties
The valuation of the investment properties as indicated in Notes 3 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements
were prepared by the independent Chartered Surveyors, P. Danos & Associates SA in alliance with BNP Paribas Real
Estate (BNP) based on various assumptions and limiting conditions. However, in the event that any of these
assumptions do not materialize or the limiting conditions are realized then the valuations of BNP should be revised
accordingly.
As stated in Note 3, a number of the land leases 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 the management believes that the possibility of such action is remote and was made only
under limited circumstances in the past.
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, BNP have 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.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters.

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 20% will be payable on such deemed dividends to the extent that the shareholders (companies and
individuals) are Cyprus tax residents. 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 on account of the shareholders.

15. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. General Information
Country of incorporation
SECURE PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT & INVESTMENT PLC (the ''Company'', formerly AISI REALTY PUBLIC LTD) 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.
Principal activities
The principal activities of the Group, which are unchanged from last year, are directly or indirectly to invest in and/or
manage real estate properties as well as real estate development projects in Central, East and South East Europe (the
"Region"). These include the acquisition, development, operation and selling of property assets, in major population
centres in the Region.
The Group maintains offices in Kiev, Ukraine and Nicosia, Cyprus, while it has an affiliate in Bucharest, Romania.
As at the reporting date, the Group has 13 Full Time Equivalent (FTEs) employed persons, including the CEO and the
CFO (December 2011 19, December 2010 28).
2. Adoption of new and revised Standards and Interpretations
The Group has adopted all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (the IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (the IFRIC) of the
IASB, which are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting periods commencing on 1 January 2012.
The accounting policies adopted for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those
followed for the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended in December 2011, except for the
adoption by the Group of the following standards, amendments and interpretations as of 1 January 2012, which did not
have any material impact on the Group's financial statements:
IAS 24 ''Related Party Disclosures'', annual periods on or after 1 January 2011. The Standard has been
amended in order to simplify the definition of related parties and remove inconsistencies and provides
partial exemption for government related entities. The adoption of this amendment did not have any impact
on the financial position or performance of the Group
IFRIC 14 "IAS 19-The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirement and their
interaction", annual periods on or after 1 January 2011. November 2009 amendment with respect to
voluntary prepaid contributions. The interactions did not have any effect on the financial position or
performance of the Group

IFRS 7 ''Financial Instruments: Disclosures'', annual periods on or after 1 January 2011

IAS 34 ''Interim Financial reporting'', Significant events and transactions, annual periods on or after 1
January 2011

The Group has not adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that was issued but is not yet effective.
At the date of approval of these financial statements, standards and interpretations were issued by the IASB which were
not yet effective. Some of them were adopted by the European Union and others have not. The Board of Directors
expects that the adoption of these accounting standards in future periods will not have a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements of the Group.
At the date of approval of these financial statements the following accounting standards were issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board but were not yet effective:

ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 34
3. Significant accounting policies
3.1 Statement of compliance
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 convention as modified by the
revaluation of investment property and investment property under construction to fair value.
3.2 Basis of preparation
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.
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, except for the parent company and its
subsidiaries Aisi Capital Ltd and Aisi Logistics Ltd for which the United States Dollar is the functional currency.
Ukrainian statutory accounting principles and procedures differ from those generally accepted under IFRS.
Accordingly, the consolidated financial information, which has been prepared from the Ukrainian statutory
accounting records for the entities of the Group domiciled in Ukraine, reflects adjustments necessary for such
consolidated financial information to be presented in accordance with IFRS.
3.3 Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business although as at 31 December
2012 the Group’s current liabilities exceed its current assets by US$14.313.319. As of the reporting date the
Company was in breach of payment covenants relating to the loan from EBRD of US$16.388.976. Thus, this loan
was repayable on demand and has been classified in current liabilities creating a material uncertainty and therefore
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements on the going concern basis is based on the Directors
having knowledge of the 1st closing of a capital increase of US$17.045.000, authorized by the Annual General
Meeting of the Company held on 26th November 2012 and effected in February 2013 (Note 27C).
3.4 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). Control is achieved where the Company has
the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal,
as appropriate. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the
non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
The financial statements of all the Group companies are prepared using uniform accounting policies. When
necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into
line with those used by other members of the Group.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 35
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
3.4 Basis of consolidation (continued)
3.4.1 Changes in the Group's ownership interests in existing subsidiaries
Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the
subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group's interests and the non-
controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference
between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration
paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between
(i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii)
the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-
controlling interests. When assets of the subsidiary are carried at revalued amounts or fair values and the related
cumulative gain or loss has been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the
amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if
the Company had directly disposed of the relevant assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to
retained earnings as specified by applicable IFRSs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former
subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent
accounting under IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, the cost on
initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity.
The Group’s consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the parent company, SECURE
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT & INVESTMENT PLC. and the financial statements of the following subsidiaries:

3.4 Basis of consolidation (continued)
As of the reporting date the subsidiaries as LLC Mirelium Investments, LLC Aisi Outdoor, LLC Aisi Vida, LLC Aisi Val,
LLC Aisi Consta, LLC Aisi Roslav and LLC Aisi Donetsk were under the merging process to LLC Aisi Ilvo. The
reorganization (merger) process is expected to be finished in 2013.
3.4.2 Foreign currency translation
The management believes that the US Dollar reporting better reflects the economic substance of the underlying
events and circumstances relevant to the Group itself. Consequently the Group’s management has determined that
the Group’s functional currency is the US Dollar.
As management records the consolidated financial information of the entities domiciled in Ukraine in Hryvnia, in
translating financial information of the entities domiciled in Ukraine into US Dollars for incorporation in the
consolidated financial information, the Group follows a translation policy in accordance with International Accounting
Standard No. 21, “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”, and the following procedures are performed:
All assets and liabilities are translated at closing rate;
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.
The relevant exchange rates of the Central Bank of Ukraine used in translating the financial information of the
entities domiciled in Ukraine into US Dollars are as follows:

31 December
The Group’s financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiary
undertakings for the year ended 31 December 2012.
Subsidiaries are those enterprises controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power, directly or
indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The financial information of subsidiaries is included in the consolidated financial information from the date that
control effectively commences until the date that control effectively ceases. Investments in subsidiaries are
accounted for under the acquisition method.
3.5 Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a
business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of
the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the
equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally
recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair value
at the acquisition date, except that:
deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are
recognized and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits
respectively;
assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets
Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard; and
liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based
payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the
acquiree are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment at the acquisition date.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 37
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
3.5 Business combinations (continued)
Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the
entity's net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling
interests' proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The choice of
measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are
measured at fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another IFRS.
When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting
from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair
value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of
the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with
corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from
additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition
date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as
measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent
consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent
settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is re-
measured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with IAS 39, or IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognized in the statement of
comprehensive income.
When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-
measured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date when the Group obtains control) and the resulting gain or
loss, if any, is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree
prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to
the statement of comprehensive income where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed
of.
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.
3.6 Goodwill
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the
business (see 3.5 above) 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.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 38
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
3.7 Non-current assets held for sale
When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all of the assets and liabilities of
that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, regardless of whether the
Group will retain a non-controlling interest in its former subsidiary after the sale.
Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous
carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
3.8 Operating segments analysis
The Group has one material reportable segment on the basis that in all material aspects all of its revenue is to be
generated from investment properties located in Ukraine; accordingly no segment analysis is presented.
3.9 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:
3.9.1 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.
3.9.2 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).
3.9.3 Interest income
Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion (accrual) basis, using the effective interest rate method.
3.9.4 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.
3.10 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.
3.11 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.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 39
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
3.12 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
3.12.1 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.
3.12.2 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 utilised.
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.
3.12.3 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.
All the subsidiaries of the Group are incorporated in Ukraine, except for Aisi Capital Limited, Aisi Logistics Limited and
the parent company, which are incorporated in Cyprus. The Group’s management and control is exercised in Cyprus.
There is no withholding tax or special defence contribution on the dividend income to be received from the Ukrainian
subsidiaries as provided for by the current tax treaty.
The Group’s management does not intend to dispose of any asset. However, 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 development companies in Ukraine 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.
3.13 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses.
Properties in the course of construction for production, rental or administrative purposes, or for purposes not yet
determined, 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 is calculated on the straight-line method 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:

Assets held under finance 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.
Expenditure for repairs and maintenance of property, plant and equipment 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 property, plant and equipment 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.
3.14 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 Company 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.
3.15 Leased assets
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards
of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are recognized as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease
or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included
in the consolidated statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned
between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the
remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged to profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable
to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized in accordance with the Group's general policy on borrowing
costs (see below).
Lease payments are analyzed between capital and interest components so that the interest element of the payment
is charged to the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the lease and represents a constant
proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding. The capital part reduces the amount payable to the
lessor.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 41
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
3.16 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.
3.17 Investment properties
Investment property, principally comprising freehold and leasehold land and investment properties held for future
development, 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 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 the
management believes that the possibility of such action is remote and was made only under limited circumstances in
the past.
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, BNP have 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. The operating lease is accounted for as if it were a finance lease.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 42
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
3.17 Investment properties (continued)
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.
3.17.1 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.
3.17.2 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 assets’ 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.
3.17.3 Basis of valuation
The fair values reflect market conditions at the financial position date. These valuations are prepared annually by
chartered surveyors (hereafter “appraisers”). All valuations were carried out by P.Danos Associates SA in alliance with
BNP Paribas Real Estate (hereafter “appraisers”) who remained as appraisers for 2012.
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”) Appraisal and Valuation Standards, 7th Edition (the “Red Book”).
“Market Value”, is defined as: “The estimated amount for which a property should exchange 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”.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 43
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
3.17 Investment properties (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 saleability of the properties concerned.
The valuation is exclusive of VAT and no allowances have been made for any expenses of realisation 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 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 passing 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.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 44
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
3.17 Investment properties (continued)
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.
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. Property tax is not presently payable in Ukraine.
3.18 Non-current liabilities
Non-current liabilities represent amounts that are due in more than twelve months from the reporting date.
3.19 Project/Special Purpose Vehicle Related Transaction Expenses
Expenses incurred by the Group for acquiring a subsidiary or associated company and are directly attributable to
such acquisition are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
3.20 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal 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.
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.

3.21 Financial liabilities and equity instruments
3.21.1 Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by a Group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in
accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an
equity instrument.
3.21.2 Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of
its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue
costs. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The difference between the fair value of the consideration received by
the Company and the nominal value of the share capital being issued is taken to the share premium account
Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is
recognized in the statement of comprehensive income on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's
own equity instruments.
3.21.3 Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities “at FVTPL” or “other financial liabilities”.
3.21.3.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as
at FVTPL.
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
it has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together
and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial
recognition if:
such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would
otherwise arise; or
the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and
its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group's documented risk management
or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at
FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in
profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability
and is included in the “other gains and losses” line item in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Fair
value is determined in the manner described in section 2.20.8.
3.21.3.2 Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities (including borrowings) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating
interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated
future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective
interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or
(where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
3.21.3.3 De-recognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group's obligations are discharged, cancelled or
they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration
paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 46
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
3.22 Value added tax
VAT is levied at the following rates:
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.
17% 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.
A taxpayer’s VAT liability equals the total amount of VAT collected within a reporting period, and arises on the earlier
of the date of shipping goods to a customer or the date of receiving payment from the customer. A VAT credit is the
amount that a taxpayer is entitled to offset against his VAT liability in a reporting period. Rights to VAT credit arise
on the earlier of the date of payment to the supplier or the date goods are received. The part of VAT credit expected
to be recovered in the long-term prospective is classified as non-current being discounted for reflecting principal
market assumptions as to projects realization. Initial loss on discounting VAT credit, non-current was recognized as
part of finance costs.
3.23 Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of
financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and
there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. This is not
generally the case with master netting agreements, and the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the
consolidated statement of financial position.
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) and net asset value per share (NAV) for its ordinary
shares.
3.24 Earnings and Net Assets value per share
Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing net profit 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 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.
3.25 Comparative amounts
Where necessary, comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to changes in presentation adopted in the
current year.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 47
4. Financial risk management
4.1 Financial risk factors
The Group is exposed to country risk, real estate holding and development associated risks, 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 management 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. Financial
Risk Management is also described in note 26 of the financial statements.
4.1.1 Operating Country Risks
The Group is exposed to country risk, stemming from the political and economic environment of every country in
which it operates.
4.1.1.1 Ukraine
In recent years, the Ukrainian economy has been characterised by a number of features that contribute to
economic instability, including a relatively weak banking system providing limited liquidity to Ukrainian enterprises,
significant capital outflows, and low wages for a large portion of the Ukrainian population.
The implementation of reforms has been partially impeded by lack of political consensus, controversies over
privatisation, the restructuring of the energy sector, the removal of exemptions and privileges for certain state-
owned enterprises or for certain industry sectors, the limited extent of cooperation with international financial
institutions and non-stable taxing environment.
Although Ukraine has made significant progress in increasing its gross domestic product, decreasing inflation,
stabilising its currency, increasing real wages and improving its trade balance, these gains may not be sustainable
over the longer term and may be reversed unless Ukraine undertakes certain important structural reforms in the
near future while continuing to exercise restrictive monetary policies.
Ukraine's internal debt market remains illiquid and underdeveloped as compared to markets in most western
countries. Unless the international capital markets or syndicated loan markets open up to Ukraine, the Government
will have to continue to rely to a significant extent on official or multilateral borrowings to finance part of the budget
deficit, fund its payment obligations under domestic and international borrowings and support foreign exchange
reserves. These borrowings may be conditioned on Ukraine satisfying certain requirements, which may include,
among other things, implementation of strategic, institutional and structural reforms; reduction of overdue tax
arrears; absence of increase of budgetary arrears; improvement of sovereign debt credit ratings; and reduction of
overdue indebtedness for electricity and gas. Negative developments on these may result in Ukraine not finding
adequate financing which could, in its turn put pressure on Ukraine's budget and foreign exchange reserves and
have a material adverse effect on the Ukrainian economy as a whole, and thus, on the Group’s business prospects.
Any major adverse changes in Ukraine's relations with Russia, in particular any such changes adversely affecting
supplies of energy resources from Russia to Ukraine and/or Ukraine's revenues derived from transit charges for
Russian oil and gas, would likely have negative effects on certain sectors of the Ukrainian economy which could
under certain conditions affect the Group's business.
The Ukrainian legal system has also been developing to support this market-based economy. Ukraine's legal
system is, however, in transition and is, therefore, subject to greater risks and uncertainties than a more mature
legal system. In particular, risks associated with the Ukrainian legal system include, but are not limited to:
(i) inconsistencies between and among the Constitution of Ukraine and various laws, presidential decrees,
governmental, ministerial and local orders, decisions, resolutions and other acts;
(ii) provisions in the laws and regulations that are ambiguously worded or lack specificity and thereby raise
difficulties when implemented or interpreted;
(iii) difficulty in predicting the outcome of judicial application of Ukrainian legislation; and
(iv) the fact that not all Ukrainian resolutions, orders and decrees and other similar acts are readily available to the
public or available in understandably organised form.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 48
4. Financial risk management (continued)
4.1 Financial risk factors (continued)
Furthermore, several fundamental Ukrainian laws either have only relatively recently become effective or are still
pending hearing or adoption by the Parliament. The recent origin of much of Ukrainian legislation, the lack of
consensus about the scope, content and pace of economic and political reform and the rapid evolution of the
Ukrainian legal system in ways that may not always coincide with market developments, place the enforceability
and underlying constitutionality of laws in doubt, and result in ambiguities, inconsistencies and anomalies.
In addition, Ukrainian legislation often contemplates implementing regulations. Often such implementing regulations
have either not yet been promulgated, leaving substantial gaps in the regulatory infrastructure, or have been
promulgated with substantial deviation from the principal rules and conditions imposed by the respective legislation,
which results in a lack of clarity and growing conflicts between companies and regulatory authorities.
Tax laws are changing and compared to more developed market economies are in a non mature level thus creating
often an unclear tax environment of unusual complexity. This particularly affects negatively the ability of the Group
to recuperate VAT paid and/or to utilize operating losses as a carry forward tax shield.
Emerging economies such as Ukraine’s are subject to rapid change and the information set out in these financial
statements may become outdated relatively quickly.
Pursuant to the resent elections many of the imbalances mentioned above need to be addressed in the course of
the next few years should the Ukraine want to pursue integration with the EU. Most notably defending the UAH,
which has come at an increasingly high cost, needs to be addressed urgently. So far, there has been no sign of a
relaxation of the fixed exchange-rate regime, presumably at an increasing cost to reserves and economic growth.
However, the government's readiness to assume a more conservative approach to the budget should improve
Ukraine's relations with the IMF. In turn, this should allow a resumption in multilateral lending, which was
suspended since late 2010 owing to non-compliance with loan conditions.
4.1.1.2 Cyprus
The indebtedness of the Cypriot Republic and its two main banks Bank of Cyprus and Cyprus Popular Bank (Laiki)
creates the basis for the country to be part of a financial rescue plan under the supervision of the IMF, the ECB and
the European Union. Such plan which has been discussed throughout 2012 may result in a changing economic and
financial environment.
At the same time, the recent discovery of potentially significant natural gas and oil deposits within the boundaries of
the Cypriot exclusive economic zone perplexes the geographic and political relationships and developments as
Cyprus is in the crossroad of 3 continents.
During the past 10 years Cyprus has become an established financial center taking advantage of favourable double
tax treaties with various countries around the world, most importantly with Eastern European countries where the
Company operates. Due to the world financial crisis erupting in 2008 and the ensuing debt crisis which had a
liquidity effect of the Cypriot banking system as in all of the south and east European countries, following the
restructuring of the Greek public debt certain of the Cypriot banks have taken a blow to their solvency (write off of
€4,5bn of Greek debt and have requested the support of the ECB through the ELA mechanism.
The Ministry of Finance has estimated that Cyprus could need about €17bn between 2012 and 2016, of which
€10bn would be used to shore up the banking sector and the remainder would be used to cover the government's
financing needs.
Any failure to effect and implement an economic restructuring plan, may have a devastating effect on the financials
of the Cypriot economy that could lead to a default and the abandonment of the Euro currency. Such result may
have a distabilizing effect on the operations of the Company at the corporate level.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 49
4. Financial risk management (continued)
4.1 Financial risk factors (continued)
4.1.2 Risks associated with property holding
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;
the amount of rent and the terms on which lease renewals and new leases are agreed being less
favourable 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
terrorism and acts of nature, such as earthquakes and floods that may damage the properties.
4.1.3 Property Market price risk
Market price risk is the risk that the value of the Company’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.
The prevailing global economic conditions throughout 2008-2010 and the ensuing Euro zone Sovereign Debt crisis
have had a considerable effect on the market prices of the current portfolio investments of the Group.
In cases that the BoD deemed necessary, it has taken provisions on the assets’ valuation in order to ensure that the
asset value is presented within the financial statements of the Group in such a way as to take into account various
uncertainties. To quantify the value of its assets and/or indicate the possibility of impairment losses, the Company
commissioned internationally acclaimed valuers.
4.1.4 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.
4.1.5 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. Moreover, the Group has moved outside Cyprus its liquidity that is not required for operational purposes.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 50
4. Financial risk management (continued)
4.1 Financial risk factors (continued)
Management has been in continuous discussions with banking institutions monitoring their ability to extend
financing as per the Group’s needs. The sovereign debt crisis has affected the pan-European banking system during
2011 and 2012 imposing financing uncertainties for new development projects. The financial crisis in the European
Union periphery has strained any remaining liquidity and the financial institutions in the region (including those that
have Italian, Greek or Austrian parent) are contemplating deleveraging programmes.
4.1.6 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. Most of the Group’s transactions, including the rental proceeds
are denominated in the functional currency (USD). For the rest of the foreign exchange exposure Management
monitors the exchange rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly.
As a precaution against probable depreciation of local currencies, and especially of the UAH, the majority of the
Group’s liquid assets are held in USD denominated deposit accounts.
4.1.7 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 26 of the financial statements.
4.1.8 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 the state.
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.The Group's exposures are discussed under note 26.
4.1.9 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 and is discussed in note 25.
4.1.10 Reputation risk
The risk of loss of reputation arising from the negative publicity relating to the Group's operations (whether true or
false) may result in a reduction of its clientele, reduction in revenue and legal cases against the Group. Following
the Group's restructuring in 2011, the settlement of its liabilities, the letting of the Terminal Brovary warehouse and
the first capital raise of the Company post 2010, Management expects the Company to be receiving positive
publicity.
4.2. 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.
4.3 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.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 51
5. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting
estimates and requires Management to exercise its judgement 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 irrecoverability 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.
Fair value of investment property
The fair value of investment property is determined by using various valuation techniques. The Group
selects highly reputed international companies with local presence to effect such valuations. Such valuers
use their judgement 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 of the investment property has been
estimated based on the fair value of their individual assets.
Income taxes
Significant judgement 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 recognises 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 construction 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. The management estimates that the
assets will be realised 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.

Accounts payable written off represent the total amount of creditors’ payables written off as a result of negotiations and
settlement during the reorganization of the Group that started in August 2011.
Provision for advance payments reflects an allowance estimate made by the Management. The Group has advanced
~US$12 mil. in 2007 as a loan to a company who would sell its Podol property asset to the Group, taking as collateral an
asset of 42ha at Kiev Oblast-Rozny (Kiev Oblast property). As Management estimated already from August 2008 that the
deal has limited probability to be effected, it has reduced the amount of the advance throughout the years currently
standing at US$5.000.000.

loss for VAT recoverable in 2011 relates to VAT receivable by Aisi Bela LLC, fully written off as of 31/12/2011 due to loss
of corporate tax status of "VAT payer" in July 2011.
Penalties incurred by the Group were mainly caused as a result of delayed payments of its liabilities.

As from 1 January 2008, deferred tax is not provided in respect of the revaluation of the investment property and
investment property under construction 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. The management estimates that the assets will be realised
through a share deal rather than through an asset deal. Should any subsidiary be disposed of, the gains generated from
the disposal will be exempted from any tax.
The respective reversal of previously accrued Deferred Tax Liabilities has been made in 2008.

Guarantee reserve on construction works, represents the portion of the guaranteed amount payable to the contractor of
Brovary Logistic Park upon finalization of the works and of the snagging list.

the Group would have to pay an additional UAH5.400.000 (~US$700.000) payable upon such event occurring. Since it is
uncertain when the latter amount is to be paid it has been discounted at the current discount rates in Ukraine and is
presented as a non current liability.

As of the reporting date the Group was in the process of restructuring the capital structure of its Ukrainian subsidiaries
aiming to eliminate such loans. Pursuant to this restructuring and by the date of publication of this report the total
amount outstanding has been reduced to US$34.577.771(Note 27E).
25. Contingent liabilities
The Group is involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business.
25.1 Tax litigation
The Group performed during the reporting period most of its operations in the Ukraine and therefore 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 interpretation and in some cases, is
conflicting. 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, that are enacted by law to impose severe fines and penalties and interest
charges. A 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. 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 consolidated 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 procedures with tax and VAT authorities; Management
believes that the estimates provided within the financial statements present a reasonable estimate of the outcome of
these court cases.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 65
25. Contingent liabilities (continued)
25.2 Construction related litigation
As of the reporting period there are no material claims from constructors other than those appearing and provided for in
the financial statements.
25.3 Other Litigation
Following the restructuring of the Group, a former employee of the Company (the previous acting Director for a number
of the Ukrainian subsidiaries) has taken the Group to the Ukrainian courts. Management does not believe that the result
of any legal proceedings will have a material effect on the Group’s financial position or the results of its operations other
than the one already provided for, within the financial statements.
25.4 Other Contingent Liabilities
The Group had no other contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2012.
26. Financial Risk Management
26.1 Capital Risk Management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that it 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 19), cash and cash
equivalents, receivables (note 14) and equity attributable to ordinary shareholders (issued capital, reserves and retained
earnings).
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 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.
26.2 Significant Accounting Policies
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis on
which income and expenses are recognized, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liabilities and equity
instruments are disclosed in note 3 of the financial statements.

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.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012| 66
26. Financial Risk Management (continued)
26.3 Categories of Financial Instruments (continued)
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 31 December 2012, the Group had not entered into any derivative contracts.
Throughout the reporting period, the priority on cash use and management was set on settling all past liabilities
(eliminating thus the relevant legal and financial risks) while maintaining a minimum liquidity to allow for the future
development of the Group's strategy.
26.4 Economic Market Risk management
The Group operates in the Region. 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 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.
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 December 31st, 2012, cash and cash equivalent financial assets
amounted to US$256.447 (2011: US$754.640).
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to part of its borrowings amounting to US$18.341.656 (2011:
US$15.813.857) as they are issued at variable rates tied to the Libor. Management monitors the interest rate
fluctuations on a continuous basis and evaluates hedging options to align the Group’s strategy with the interest rate
view and the defined risk appetite. Although no hedging has been applied for the reporting period, such may take place
in the future if deemed necessary in order to protect the cash flow of a property asset through different interest rate
cycles.
The Group’s exposures to financial risk are discussed also in note 4.
26.5 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.
26.6 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.

27. Events after the end of the reporting period
A. EBRD loan restructuring
In February 2013 and as the negotiations with EBRD were ongoing for the restructuring of the repayment of the loan,
the Company repaid the first 2 principal instalments corresponding to September and December 2012 payments.
B. Short term borrowing
Short term borrowing to the amount of US$175.000 contracted in December 2012 in order to partially cover the UVK
settlement during December 2012 payment amounting to US$400.000. The facility has been repaid in January 2013.
C. Share Capital Increase
Since the start of 2013 and pursuant to the Annual General Meeting of 26th November 2012, the Company has raised
US$17.05 million from placing regular shares with new investors. This capital raise which follows the recapitalisation and
restructuring of the Company in August 2011 and the successful completion of various stabilising initiatives during 2012
provides funding for the Company to commence its strategy for growth through the acquisition of income producing
assets in Central and South Eastern Europe in order to build a more geographically diverse portfolio of income yielding
assets, whilst maintaining its emphasis on efficient asset management to create and enhance value.
D. Cyprus current developments
As the situation stands at the date of issuance of this report, the Cyprus banks bail-in will have no material effect on the
Company’s business. More specifically, the Company has evaluated the probable effect of the measures in relation to the
levy on deposits and the restrictions on capital movement applied to Cyprus based financial institutions. The Company
holds most (98%) of its liquidity with non-Cypriot owned banking institutions, partly in Cyprus and partly outside Cyprus.
Liquidity used for operational reasons is held partly in Ukraine, with a non-Cypriot banking institution, and partly in
Cyprus, predominately with a Cyprus bank, Laiki Bank. The latter is the only part of the Company's liquidity that,
according to the decisions taken by the European and Cypriot authorities to date, is at any risk. The maximum impact of
the current measures is US$135.000, or less than 1% of the Company’s liquidity.
E. Repayment of intragroup loans (Note 3.4.1)
The Company has proceeded in share capital increase effected on certain of its Ukrainian subsidiaries which in turn
returned the funds back to the Cyprus financing SPV (AISI CAPITAL) in the form of loan repayment (loans have been
provided throughout 2007-2012 period). The total loan amount repaid as of the issuing date of this report is US$
25million including principal and interest payment. This repayment is expected to have a substantial positive material
impact on the tax position of the Company going forward.
