Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
29 June 2018
2017 has been a year of consolidation during which we have laid the foundation for a renewed push to
grow based on our strategy to transform SPDI into a leading London listed property company focused on
selected emerging South East European countries. As the economies and property markets in Romania
and Ukraine grew at rapid rates, a plan to sell our non-core assets was put together to take advantage of
increased demand and pricing; conditions we have been expecting for the last few years to materialise.
Land (pre) sales in both countries were coupled with increased residential units’ sales. In fact, working
hand in hand with our lenders in Bucharest and Sofia, SPDI plans to invest in some key residential assets
in order to expedite sales at higher prices during 2018, with a view of minimising the time and resources
needed to manage such non-core, non-income producing assets. At the same time, in 2017 we also focused
on identifying target property portfolios to acquire and accordingly we agreed to buy up to 50% of a
127.000 sqm fully let logistics portfolio in Romania. We believe that logistics is not only the most underrated
and undervalued property type but it also has the highest return on capital. We are now mid-way in
executing such acquisition and if it is executed (subject to due diligence and capital adequacy) SPDI will
transform itself into a major player in the South East European logistics property market.
In 2017, Romania continued being the fastest growing economy of the European Union and saw property
prices continue to rise across all sectors, facilitating our residential sales and confirming our choice not to
have systematically sold off such assets in preceding years.
Greece managed not only to agree the upcoming end of its inter-governmental lending programme but
achieved a large primary surplus and even though the property markets have not experienced a substantial
price uptick, the demand has substantially increased and is expected to continue to do so.
In parallel with the increased rate of selling non-core assets, the Company focused on reducing certain
(non-strictly property related) costs even further. This included both corporate consolidations through the
merger of special property corporate vehicles as well as reducing HR costs through agreeing with some of
our executives to become part time advisers. This exercise coupled with various actions towards extending
the terms of some of our property loans as well as reducing their costs, advanced the corporate
consolidation of the Company, in preparation of an expansive 2018, as we expect this coming year to be
transformative.
As the markets we are active in are picking up both speed and international interest, SPDI is well placed
to participate in the expected growth cycle, fully acknowledging that despite the hard work and good results
of the last few years, the target has yet to be achieved and there is much more to go for, with both
Management and Directors committed to achieving our goals and delivering value for our shareholders.
Best regards,
Lambros G. Anagnostopoulos, Chief Executive Officer

Management Report
2.1 Corporate Overview & Financial Performance
In 2017 the Company’s management focused on a) selling land and residential assets
Summary
in Romania, Bulgaria and Ukraine and b) identifying, negotiating and executing the due
diligence for a potential acquisition of the Olympians logistics property portfolio in
Romania. In parallel, the Company restructured some of the financings of assets;
restructured its operating teams; and prepared the ground for the next phase of
transformative growth.
The Romanian economy continued leading the European Union in terms of pace of
growth with a strong 6,9% increase. Bucharest is bustling with property developments
as existing increasing demand far outweighs existing supply, whilst also being
characterised by low unemployment. At the same time property prices are seeing a
distinct increase and international investors and developers are moving back in the
country.
Greece is rapidly reaching the end of the program agreed with its international lenders
having turned the macro corner and showing signs of economic growth. It posted a
4%+ primary surplus, and in mid-2018 is expected to be able to go to the markets to
support its development plans with a number of property investors knocking on its
door. While a series of elections are planned for the coming two years (local, municipal,
European) many analysts believe that Greece is on the growth turn and such growth
may prove to be faster than expected.
During 2017, the Company proceeded with taking the necessary approvals for
rationalizing the equity structure of the Company by setting off carry forward losses
(generated in pre 2011 periods) against part of the share premium, effecting in that
way the potential of future dividend distribution, as well as the potential of the adoption
of a share buy-back programme. At the same time, the Company continued devoting
significant time and effort in restructuring its debt to the long term, which is expected
to result in further deleveraging of the Company. At the same time, the Company
continued optimizing its corporate structure by merging or closing down low activity
SPV corporate entities so as to benefit both from the related corporate administration
cost reduction, but also from the effective utilization of existing carried forward losses
and the subsequent reduction of the effective income tax rate.
During 2017, with the view of executing acquisitions of selected income producing
property portfolios, the Company reached out to its shareholder base and some new
investors to raise capital. During the year, the Company raised approximately €3m of
debt and equity with most of the former coming from existing shareholders and
Directors, who both believe strongly in the prospects of the Company and the validity
of its business plan.

ANNUAL REPORT 2017|5
Following the successful and profitable sale of our primary Ukrainian asset, Terminal
Brovary in Kiev, SPDI’s operating income remained almost stable with an increase in
non-core asset sales. Whilst the Company countered a temporary decrease/partial
rent of the ex-Nestle space at Innovations warehouse, its three fully let assets (EoS
Business Park in Romania, Bluebigbox in Craiova, Romania and Victini (ex GED)
warehouse in Greece) all recorded stable income.
Financial
performance
Following the successful disposal of Terminal Brovary, EBITDA showed a 61% increase
to €3,7m compared to €2,3m in 2016, mainly due to the sale of Delia Lebada. Interest
costs were reduced by 40% to ~€1,9m vs ~€3,2m in 2016 and administration costs
reduced by 10% following the continuing successful cost management by the
Company.

In recent years, following the successful implementation of the Company’s strategy,
SPDI’s portfolio became even more diversified in terms of geography as well as asset
class. At the end of the reporting period, taking into account the % participation in the
properties that the Company holds directly, Romania is the prime country of operations
(58%) in terms of Gross Asset Value, and, following the sale of Terminal Brovary, the
exposure to Ukraine reduced to 12%.
In respect of the Company’s rental income generation capacity, Romania is the prime
source with 66%, with the remaining income deriving from Greece (34%).
** Annualized Net Operating Income includes NOI from Terminal Brovary logistics, Innovations logistics, GED logistics park, EOS office building,
Praktiker retail center, Kindergarten, Residential units as well as Delenco office building (in which the Company has ~24,35% participation)

and Bulgaria.
Throughout 2017, the Company focused on managing and preserving liquidity through
cash flow optimization so as to secure the Company’s future. With the completion of
the sale of Terminal Brovary, and the sale of Delia Lebada, the Company is focused on
Liquidity

expanding its asset base so as to establish growth.
2.4 2018 and beyond
At the start of 2018, with the market conditions improving across the Company’s
General
regions of operation, SPDI increased its efforts to sell the various non-core residential
assets while focusing on identifying opportunities in the core income producing logistics
sector. As such, 2018 promises to be a year of repositioning of the Company’s assets
as we identify the way to grow further towards our vision of becoming a large regional
income producing property company.
ANNUAL REPORT 2017|10

Regional Economic Developments 1
The Romanian economy is undergoing strong growth. Unemployment has fallen to a
Romania
record low, and the financial sector is steadily improving. Romania’s economy last year
recorded the fastest growth rate in the 28 European Union (“EU”) member states,
reaching a nine-year high of 7% and gaining one place to rank 16th by Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) values according to Eurostat, ranking it above Greece, but slightly under
Czech Republic (€191,6 billion) and Portugal (€193,1 billion).
The strong growth has been fueled by domestic consumption, on the back of a multi-
year fiscal expansion and minimum wage hikes. An accommodative monetary policy
stance and improving EU economy also helped. The current account deficit widened,
as expanding imports offset the improving demand for Romania’s exports. A tight labor
market is seeing private sector wages growing at double-digit rates. The targets of the
National Bank of Romania (“NBR”) were met in 2017.
The Romanian Government’s priorities for 2018–20 include the improved absorption
of EU funds and a focus on securing investments in infrastructure and health care,
reforming the pension system, and simplifying tax administration.
The Romanian Government’s program reconfirms Romania’s roadmap for achieving
the 2020 objectives for smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth and prioritizes the use
of EU funds in line with the European Structural and Investment Funds (“ESIF”)
envelope for 2014–20, which amounts to approximately €40 billion.
We believe the banking sector in Romania is well capitalized and liquid, profitability is
increasing, and non-performing loans (“NPLs”) have declined to 6,4% of total loans in
December 2017, falling significantly, close to the EU average. Banks’ profitability
remains robust, capital positions are strong, and liquidity abundant.
In Bulgaria, in line with the overall growth of the economy and the residential market,
Bulgaria
the year was a dynamic one. GDP growth for 2017 was 3,7% while the unemployment
rate fell to 6,2%.
In 2017, Bulgaria witnessed growth in nearly every sector of the economy, boosted by
an increase in personal consumption, state supported minimum wage increases, higher
FDI, and the improvement of the financial and banking environment.

With these considerations in the background, Bulgaria gained, international credibility
as an investment destination.
2017 was a record year for the Property Investment market in Bulgaria in terms of
total sales transactions, with total volume €957m. 70% of the total investment
transaction volume came from the sale of shopping centers. International buyers
prevailed over locals in terms of market share, reversing the trend established since
2012. South African investors entered the Bulgarian market very actively in 2017,
comprising 71% of the total volume. The volume of income-generating deals (83%)
considerably prevailed over speculative (12%) and owner-occupied (5%) volumes, a
trend since 2016.
Several large-scale transactions involving quality, income generating assets led to a
decrease in prime yields. For retail and offices, yields stood at 7,25% and 8,25%
respectively, while for industrial 10% at the end of 2017.
The Greek economy experienced a marginal nominal GDP increase in 2017, partly as
Greece
a result of the effects from the upturn in consumer spending and a rise in exports,
recording a 1,5% growth after two negative years and a primary surplus of 4%.
Greek Government Bonds fell to their lowest yield since 2006, shrinking the “trust gap”
between Greece and the rest of Europe, reflecting the prospects of growth and the
certainty that the country will exit the current financing and stabilization program
during the summer of 2018.
A low volume of international deals suggests that Greek assets are still not that
attractive despite the asset value collapse of the last seven years. However, there was
a shift from mid /small transactions (€10-50m) to micro deals with values below €10m,
supported by international and local investment vehicles.
Key economic drivers for the economy remain weak, consumption and disposable
income are still under pressure created from the high tax environment, liquidity is still
constrained by the capital controls imposed in 2015, although significant relaxation of
such controls took place from 2017 onwards. Unemployment continues to fall, despite
remaining high among women and the younger generations, as well as in comparison
to the EU average.
A number of projects, from privatizations to long term leases of infrastructure, moved
ahead in 2017. They are expected to contribute in a tangible way to the recovery of
the Greek economy but also to the recovery of the local real estate market.

Hopes remain high that the timely completion of the 3rd Economic Adjustment Program
will bring rise to a positive momentum for the following years. Such an environment
could bring a complete suspension of the capital controls through an increase in the
credibility of the country and in parallel accelerate much needed FDI to feed into the
economy.
The Ukrainian economy recovered from the economic and political crisis of previous
Ukraine
years which resulted in growth of real GDP of around 2,5% (2016: 2,3%) and the
stabilization of its national currency, the Hryvna. From a trading perspective, the
economy demonstrated a refocusing on the EU market, which was a result of the
signed Association Agreement with the EU in January 2016 which established the Deep
and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (“DCFTA”). Implementation of DCFTA commenced
in January 2017.
In terms of currency regulations, the National Bank of Ukraine (“NBU”) decreased the
required share of mandatory sale of foreign currency proceeds from 65% to 50% from
April 2017, increased the settlement period for export-import transactions in foreign
currency from 120 to 180 days from May 2017, and allowed companies to pay the
2013 (and earlier) dividends with a limit of US$2 million per month from November
2017 (from June 2016, companies were allowed to pay dividends for 2014–2016 to
non-residents with a limit of US$5 million per month).
In March 2015, Ukraine signed a four-year Extended Fund Facility (“EFF”) with the IMF
that will last until March 2019. The total programme amounted to US$17,5 billion,
while Ukraine has so far received only US$8,7 billion from the entire amount. In
September 2017, Ukraine successfully issued US$3 billion of Eurobonds, of which
US$1,3 billion is new financing, with the remaining amount aimed to refinance the
bonds due in 2019. The NBU expects that Ukraine will receive another US$3,5 billion
from the IMF in 2018. To receive the next tranches, the government of Ukraine has to
implement certain key reforms, in such areas as the pension system, anti-corruption
regulations, and privatization. IMF forecasts GDP growth for 2018 at 3,2% with a CPI
of 11%.

The 2017 property investment volume for Romania is estimated at almost €1 billion, a
General
value approximately 10% higher than the one registered in 2016 (€890 million). The
number of transactions increased, with the average deal size standing at
approximately €28,5 million. Bucharest accounted for approximately 36% of the total
investment volume, less than in 2016, showing that liquidity in secondary cities has
improved. Market volumes were dominated by retail transactions (43%), while
industrial, office and hotels accounted for 22%, 17% and 18%, respectively.
Prime office yields are at 7,50%, prime retail yields at 7,25%, while prime industrial
yields are at 8,50%. Yields for office and retail are at the same level as 12 months
ago, while industrial yields have compressed by 50 bps over the year.
The Industrial and Logistics market in Romania had a promising performance in 2017,
with new supply being almost three times higher compared with last year, while
demand remained strong, coming especially from companies active in the
Logistics/Distribution and Retail sectors. The rental level has remained relatively
stable, with prime headline rents around 4,25€/sqm/month.
The Industrial sector continued on a positive trend, supported by further
improvements in market fundamentals. It registered solid leasing activity coupled with
a record volume of new supply delivered at the national level, while average rents saw
marginal growth. Demand counted for 410.000 sqm of major leases at the national
level. Around 70% of that area was leased for logistics, with the rest having a
manufacturing destination and being dominated by demand coming from automotive
car-parts suppliers, representing 20% of the total volume of major leases.
Bucharest concentrated almost 55% of the registered demand, with major deals
totalling 220.000 sqm. Take-up doubled in the last two years and increased by 7% in
2016. Bucharest remains the clear favourite on logistics, reaching more than 90% of
take-up.
Logistics
Market
Timisoara is the 2nd largest market after Bucharest, with major leases of 450.000 sqm
during the last seven years, 55% for logistics and 45% for manufacturing platforms
(automotive, electronics, equipment/machinery).
2017 saw the delivery of 123.000 sqm of new modern office spaces, taking the total
Office Market
stock to nearly 2,3 million sqm. Some delays were recorded due to both an
overstretched construction segment and some developers seemingly pushing back
their projects as they seek to improve the pre-lease percentage before the actual
delivery. This coincides with the tight overall labour market. The trend highlighted in
2016 continues to hold, with half of the total expected deliveries coming from just two
projects (the first phases for Globalworth’s Campus and Forte Partner’s The Bridge);

Wakefield, Coldwell Banker Research, National Institute of Statistics- Romania.
ANNUAL REPORT 2017|14
Vastint also delivered over 30.000 sqm in two new buildings in its Timpuri Noi Square.
Underpinning the newer hotspot in Centre-West, the two projects delivered in 2017
accounted for over one third of the total, while Timpuri Noi and Dimitrie Pompeiu each
had a share of just under a quarter of the total.
Overall, market conditions in Bucharest remained fairly neutral, with average vacancy
at just under 10% at the end of last year.
A touch over 100.000 sqm in new modern retail spaces were delivered in 2017 (versus
Retail Market
around 240.000 sqm in the previous year). Bucharest concluded few lease extensions,
which amounted to less than 20% of the total new GLA (versus more than 40% in
2016’s total deliveries of 240.000 sqm). As such, Bucharest has been experiencing a
period of relative equilibrium between supply and demand, a favorable moment for
the large schemes delivered in 2016 to gain traction and settle in the domestic retail
scene. Bucharest still features a considerably smaller per capita retail stock compared
to Warsaw and Prague (though it is comparable to Budapest’s), so there might be
room for Bucharest to absorb some new large schemes over the medium term.
2017 brought a more favorable climate for the Residential Market, as the adoption of
a strategy for the ‘Prima Casă’ programme for a five-year period increased the level of
predictability, both for investors and for the end consumers. For 2017, the recorded
demand and the accessibility of a new housing unit purchase resulted in price increases
on all regional markets of Romania, ranging from 5% on average in Bucharest, Brașov
or Timisoara, to approximately 10% in Cluj-Napoca, where the average price per
square meter exceeded, for the first time ever, the one in the Capital.
According to the National Institute of Statistics, 27.881 homes were completed in all
cities in 2017, the region with the highest share of total number of completed
residential units being Bucharest - Ilfov, with over 10.000 delivered new units.
Approximately 1.800 units, located in medium and large projects, of over 100 housing
units, were delivered late by developers in 2017 or they are to be delivered in the near
future.
Considering the current macroeconomic conditions and demand, the residential market
will continue to remain attractive for the small investors who can achieve annual rental
yields of 5% - 7%.
4.2 Bulgaria
Residential
Market
Following a strong year of investment transactions with retail properties, a raising of
General
interest in other segments (offices, industrial and logistics, and hotels) of the market
may well unfold. Total sales transaction volume is unlikely to surpass the 2017 record
high watermark in 2018, unless assets acquired in 2017 are resold. Interest rates on
loans are expected to continue falling in the first half of 2018, with the available debt
remaining stable. The smaller number of institutional investors in Bulgaria, compared
to other countries in the region, places Bulgaria in a less favorable position in terms of
ANNUAL REPORT 2017|15
Residential
Market
investment activity. Strong end-user demand remains among the country’s
advantages, likely to reinforce further investment interest.
Throughout the year, the interest in purchases both for residential and investment
purposes remained high. Unlike the mass market, the dynamics of which is largely
driven and facilitated by the increase in credit, the key factor for the higher price range
was the buyer’s higher disposable income. The lack of suitable investment alternatives
also worked in favor of greater activity in the luxury property market during the past
quarters of the year.
As a result of the increasing demand and the development of the infrastructure of
Sofia, new promising zones for positioning luxury properties were established. The
supply of luxury properties is still lagging behind the corresponding demand, but the
market will move towards better balance with the new projects planned for 2018.
Construction activity is high and together with the well-known and established
neighbourhoods, more and more buildings are emerging in new luxury zones preferred
by the buyers.
Total supply in the mid-plus and high-end residential market registered a 12%
increase, reaching 7.900 residential units in 70 projects. The number of projects under
active construction continued to grow, coming in at 2.800 residential units. The trend
since 2015 of buying residential property “under construction” has remained in place.
Those buying properties for personal use sustained demand again; the share of buyers
for investment purposes remained at 25%. Asking prices for mid-plus and high-end
residential units increased 7% in 2017, varying widely between €1.000-1.600 per sqm
(including VAT), depending on the additional characteristics of the property and the
environment.
4.3 Greece
After almost ten years of decline, real estate in Greece is starting to show some solid
General
signs that there might be good things to come. The Greek economy is gradually
starting to deal with its problems. Inflation entered positive territory in the past
quarters and this also seems to create expectations of solid increases related to local
real estate markets.
Focusing on the future outlook of the industry, the momentum should be maintained
and demand for industry services is expected to grow over the next five years (based
on expected increasing of outsourcing). At the same time, expected favorable impact
of a series of external factors that would act as accelerators for the industry over the
next five years - mainly participation in wider networks 4PL, and the upscaled presence
of Cosco. Cosco Shipping has secured a foothold in Piraeus, and China is expected to
activate plans to route the new Silk Road through the country’s largest port, making
Greece the gateway to the rest of Europe and setting the Greek logistics sector on the
Logistics
Market
ANNUAL REPORT 2017|16
path toward expansion. Cosco Shipping has agreed to team up with the operator of
Shanghai port, the world’s largest container port, to promote container shipping traffic.
Continuing investment in road and rail infrastructure means that Greece’s major ports
are now directly interconnected with modern road and rail links, facilitating intermodal
transport of cargo onwards to their final destination quickly and cost-effectively. Under
the new European Infrastructure Policy (TEN-T) more than €26 billion will be invested
in European infrastructure, including railway, road, port, airport and multimodal
infrastructure projects in Greece.
Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane (known as Trainitalia), as of September 2017, owns
TrainOSE, the Greek Rail Operator and is expected to invest in the existing network.
The booming market of e-commerce will dramatically increase the demand in
warehouse properties while Outsourcing Logistics Services (3PLs) is growing rapidly in
Greece. Supply of newly constructed logistics buildings was very limited in 2014-2017
as developers looked to pre-let or pre-sell before commencing any new developments.
4.4 Ukraine
2017 was an eventful year for the Kyiv office market, which continued strengthening
General
at the backdrop of political and economic stability. 2017 experienced a consistent
increase in demand for office space, with estimated annual take-up reaching approx.
155.000 sqm (+94,8% y-o-y). Prime effective rents remained roughly stable at
US$23/sqm/month, while asking rates grew by 10-20% y-o-y.
The main trends and indicators for the warehouse market in Kyiv region in 2017 were
composed of steady demand for warehouse space which continued to grow, as
supported by a firm economic recovery. Annual take-up volume reached approximately
120.000 sqm (+9% y-o-y), while vacancy posted tangible decline from 12% to 6%,
keeping prime effective rates stable at US$4,1 sqm/month (net of VAT and OPEX) with
asking rents rising by 10%-15% y-o-y.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2017| 25
Chairman’s Statement
During 2017, the favourable fundamentals of our target markets continued to prevail, as economic growth picked up across the
Eurozone, and property markets in our region have continued to experience a steady yield compression as the global search for yield
has forced funds to deploy new allocations of cash to these markets. During the period, SPDI continued to pursue its established
strategy of disposal of non-core assets and acquisition of cash generative properties in favoured markets, currently Romania and
Greece. In 2018, we have maintained our focus on these objectives and have renewed efforts to find funding partners who can assist
us in building the business further and enhancing shareholder value.
We are grateful to our shareholders for their continued support in 2017 and look forward to capitalising upon the significant
opportunities that we can see for the Group in 2018.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
The Board of Directors presents its report and the audited consolidated financial statements of SECURE PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT &
INVESTMENT PLC (“SPDI” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the year ended 31 December 2017.
Principal activities
The principal activities of the Group, which are unchanged from last year, are to invest directly or indirectly in and/or manage real
estate properties as well as real estate development projects in South East Europe (the "Region"). These include the acquisition,
development, operation and selling of property assets in the Region.
Review of current position, future developments and significant risks
2017 has been a year of consolidation, as we lay the foundation for a renewed push to grow based on our strategy to transform SPDI
into a leading London listed property company focused on selected South-East European countries. As the economies and property
markets in Romania and Ukraine grew even faster, a plan to sell our non-core assets was put in action so as to take advantage of
increased demand and pricing; conditions we have been expecting to materialize over the last few years. Land (pre) sales in both
countries were coupled with increased residential units’ sales and with the successful completion of the sale of Terminal Brovary in
Kiev at the beginning of 2017.
During 2017 and with the view of executing acquisitions of selected income producing property portfolios, the Company reached out
to its shareholders and some new investors raising capital. Within the year the Company raised approximately €3m in total of debt
and equity, with most of the former coming from existing shareholders and its Directors, who both believe strongly in the prospects
of the Company and the validity of its business plan.
Gross Rental Income decreased from €6,1m to €4,6m, following the successful sale of Terminal Brovary, with average occupancy
exceeding 90% (Note 7). Asset Operating expenses (Note 8) decreased by 24% while the non-strictly property related costs
(“Administration Expenses”) (Note 9) have been reduced even further by 10% following extensive cost-cutting efforts by Management.
As a result, SPDI’s portfolio became more focused in terms of geography as well as asset class, with exposure to Ukraine in terms
of Gross Asset Value dropping to ~12% at the end of 2017 and with Romania rising to become the prime country of operations with
~58% of the Gross Asset Value.
The Directors expect that the Group will continue selling non-core assets, generating supportive cash flow while further containing its
expenses and preparing for its next stage of growth.
The most significant risks faced by the Group and the steps taken to manage these risks are described in Notes 5 and 41 of the
consolidated financial statements.
Results and Dividends
The Group's results for the year are set out on page 36. No dividends were declared during the year.

Authorised share capital
As at the end of 2016, the authorized share capital of the Company was 989.869.935 Ordinary Shares of €0,01 nominal value each,
785.000 Redeemable Preference Class A Shares of €0,01 nominal value each and 8.618.997 Redeemable Preference Class B Shares
of €0,01 nominal value each (Note 26.1).
No changes were effected during the reporting period as far as the authorized share capital of the Company is concerned and therefore

Shares following the AGM decision of 29 December 2017 and the subsequent court approval obtained during H1 2018 (Note 42 e)
while Redeemable Preference Class B Shares (Note 26.6) remain to be cancelled.
Following the cancellation of Redeemable Preference Class A Shares completed within H1 2018 (Note 42e) the authorised share
capital of the Company as at the date of issuance of this report is as follows:
a) 989.869.935 Ordinary Shares of €0,01 nominal value each,

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of Secure Property Development & Investment Plc
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Secure Property Development & Investment Plc (the
“Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which are presented in pages 36 to 90 and comprise the consolidated
statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income,
changes in equity and cash flow for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including
a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial
position of the Group as at 31 December 2017, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash
flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the
European Union and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are
relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Cyprus, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 41.7 to the consolidated financial statements which indicates that the Group’s current liabilities
exceeded the current assets by €1.668.540 as at 31 December 2017. The Group incurred a negative total comprehensive
income amounting to €1.798.472 during the year ended 31 December 2017. These conditions indicate the existence of
a material uncertainty which casts significant doubt as to the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion
is not modified in respect of this matter.

Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter
Valuation of investment properties and investment properties under development
Refer to Note 3 - Significant accounting policies and Note
17 - Investment Property.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our audit procedures included assessment of the valuers
their
qualifications and expertise and considered
engagement with the Group to determine whether there
were any matters that might have affected their
objectivity or may have imposed scope limitations upon
their work.
We obtained and read the CBRE and Real Act valuation
reports for every property. We determined, based on our
expertise and experience, that the valuation approach for
each was appropriate and suitable for use in determining
the fair value for the consolidated financial statements.
We have also evaluated the mathematical precision of the
methodologies used and the relevance of the key
assumptions used, comparing with general economic
expectations to assess whether the assumptions used
were reasonable.
The Group’s investment properties and investment
property under development were carried at €79.318.511
as at 31 December 2017. A net gain on disposals of
investment properties of €4.366 and a net fair value
movement gain of €326.961 was recognised in the
Group’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income
for the year. We focused in this area due to the existence
of significant judgment, coupled with the fact that only a
individual property
small percentage difference
valuations when aggregated could result in material
misstatement.
in
The valuation of the Group’s properties is inherently
subjective due to unique nature, location and expected
future prospects of each property. The methodology
applied in determining the fair values is set out in Note 17
of the consolidated financial statements. Valuations, as
disclosed in Note 3, are carried out by third-party valuers,
CBRE Ltd and Real Act (the “Valuers”). The Valuers
performed their work in accordance with the Royal
Institute of Chartered Surveyors (“RICS”) Valuation –
Professional Standards, taking into account property
specific information.
Emphasis of matters
We draw attention to Notes 3, 5, 17 and 22 to the consolidated financial statements, which describe the following
matters:
(a) The fair value of the investment properties and investment properties under development, and the net realizable
value of inventory as indicated in Notes 3, 17 and 22 to the consolidated financial statements are based on valuations
performed by independent valuators. The values are determined by selecting a variety of methods and making
assumptions that are mainly based on conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. In the event that any of
the assumptions do not materialize the fair values of the Group’s investment properties and investment properties under
development, and the carrying value of inventory will be affected accordingly.
(b) We draw attention to Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, which describe the political and social unrest
and regional tensions in Ukraine, which could adversely affect the Group’s results and financial position in a manner not
currently determinable.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters.
Other information
Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)
The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Annual Report, the
Chairman’s Statement and the Management Report. The other information does not include the consolidated financial
statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors 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.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
•
•
•
•
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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
Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that
may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions
are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)
•
•
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves a true and fair view.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities
within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the
direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Board of Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be
thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance
in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We
describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or
when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because
the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.
Report on Other Legal Requirements
Pursuant to the additional requirements of the Auditors Law of 2017, we report the following:
•
•
In our opinion, the management report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Cyprus
Companies Law, Cap. 113 and the information given is consistent with the consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, and in the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and its environment obtained
in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the management report.
Other Matter
This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for the Company’s members as a body in accordance
with Section 69 of the Auditors Law of 2017 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this opinion, accept or
assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whose knowledge this report may come to.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Andreas Pittakas.

1Share premium is not available for distribution.
2Companies 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
defense 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 defense is payable on account of the shareholders.
3 Exchange differences on intercompany loans to foreign holdings arose as a result of devaluation of the Ukrainian Hryvnia during previous years. The Group treats the mentioned loans as a part of the net investment in foreign operations (Note 38.3).
4 Exchange differences related to the translation from the functional currency of the Group’s subsidiaries are accounted for directly to the foreign currency translation reserve. The foreign currency translation reserve represents unrealized profits or
losses related to the appreciation or depreciation of the local currencies against the euro in the countries where the Group’s subsidiaries own property assets.
5 Available for Sale financial assets (AFS) are measured at fair value. Fair value changes on AFS assets are recognized directly in equity, through other comprehensive income.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2017|39
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2017
1. General Information
Country of incorporation
SECURE PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT & INVESTMENT PLC (the ''Company'') was incorporated in Cyprus on 23 June 2005 and is a public
limited liability company, listed on the London Stock Exchange (AIM): ISIN CY0102102213. Its registered office is at Kyriakou Matsi 16,
Eagle House, 10th floor, Agioi Omologites, 1082 Nicosia, Cyprus while its principal place of business is in Cyprus at 11 Bouboulinas
Street, 4th floor, office No.48, 1060 Nicosia, Cyprus.

The principal activities of the Group, which are unchanged from last year, are to invest directly or indirectly in and/or manage real estate
properties as well as real estate development projects in South East Europe (the "Region"). These include the acquisition, development,
commercializing, operating and selling of property assets, in the Region.
The Group maintains offices in Nicosia, Cyprus, in Kiev, Ukraine, in Bucharest, Romania and in Athens, Greece.
As at the reporting date, the companies of the Group employed and/or used the services of 19 Full Time Equivalent people, (2016 26
full time equivalent people).
2. Adoption of new and revised Standards and Interpretations
Adoption of new and revised IFRSs
During the current year the Company adopted all the new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that are
relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting periods beginning on 1 January 2017. This adoption did not have a material
effect on the accounting policies of the Company.
Standards issued but not yet effective
Up to the date of approval of the financial statements, certain new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards
have been published that are not yet effective for the current reporting period and which the Company has not early adopted, as
follows:
(i) Standards and Interpretations adopted by the EU
New standards
•
IFRS 9 ''Financial Instruments'' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018).
IFRS 9, published in July 2014, replaces the existing guidance in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.
IFRS 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, a new expected credit loss
model for calculating impairment on financial assets and new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward
the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from IAS 39.
Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities
IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortised cost, fair value through
other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). IFRS 9 classification is generally based on
the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flows. The standard eliminates the existing
IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. Under IFRS 9, derivatives embedded in
contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are never bifurcated. Instead, the whole hybrid
instrument is assessed for classification.
IFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS 39 for the classification of financial liabilities. However, although under
IAS 39 all fair value changes of liabilities designated under the fair value option are recognised in profit or loss, under IFRS 9
fair value changes are generally presented as follows:
- the amount of change in the fair value that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of the liability is presented in OCI; and
- the remaining amount of change in the fair value is presented in profit or loss.
Based on the Company’s initial assessment, this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the classification of
financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company.
Impairment of financial assets
IFRS 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss’ model in IAS 39 with an ‘expected credit loss’ model. The new impairment model also applies
to certain loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts but not to equity investments. Under IFRS 9, credit losses are
recognised earlier than under IAS 39.
Based on the Company’s initial assessment, changes to the impairment model are not expected to have a material impact on
the financial assets of the Company.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2017|40
2. Adoption of new and revised Standards and Interpretations (continued)
•
•
IFRS 15 ''Revenue from Contracts with Customers'' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January
2018).
IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It
replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13
Customer Loyalty Programs.
Based on the Company’s initial assessment, this standard is not expected to have a material impact on revenue recognition of
the Company.
IFRS 16 “Leases” (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019).
IFRS 16 introduces a single, on balance lease sheet accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises a right of use asset
representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. There
are optional exemptions for short term leases and leases of low value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current
standard – i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases. IFRS 16 replaces existing leases guidance
including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC 15 Operating Leases—Incentives
and SIC 27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.
Based on the Company’s initial assessment, this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
Amendments/Clarifications
• Clarifications to IFRS 15 ''Revenue from Contracts with Customers'' (effective for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2018).
The amendments in Clarifications to IFRS 15 address three of the five topics identified i.e. identifying performance obligations,
principal versus agent considerations, and licensing. The clarifications provide some transition relief for modified contracts and
completed contracts. Additionally, the IASB concluded that it was not necessary to amend IFRS 15 with respect to the
collectability or measuring non cash consideration.
• Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014–2016 Cycle (issued on 8 December 2016) (effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2018)
IFRS 1 was amended and some of the short-term exemptions from IFRSs in respect of disclosures about financial instruments,
employee benefits and investment entities were removed, after those short-term exemptions have served their intended
purpose. The amendments to IAS 28 clarify that an entity has an investment-by-investment choice for measuring investees at
fair value in accordance with IAS 28 by a venture capital organisation, or a mutual fund, unit trust or similar entities including
investment linked insurance funds. Additionally, an entity that is not an investment entity may have an associate or joint venture
that is an investment entity. IAS 28 permits such an entity to retain the fair value measurements used by that investment entity,
associate or joint venture when applying the equity method. The amendments clarify that this choice is also available on an
investment-by-investment basis.
• Amendments to IAS 40: ''Transfers of Investmenty Property'' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2018).
The amendments clarify the requirements on transfers to, or from, investment property in respect of properties under
construction. Prior to the amendments, there was no specific guidance on transfers into, or out of, investment properties under
construction in IAS 40. The amendment clarifies that there was no intention to prohibit transfers of a property under construction
or development, previously classified as inventory, to investment property when there is an evident change in use. IAS 40 was
amended to reinforce the principle of transfers into, or out of, investment property in IAS 40 to specify that a transfer into, or
out of investment property should only be made when there has been a change in use of the property; and such a change in
use would involve an assessment of whether the property qualifies as an investment property. Such a change in use should be
supported by evidence.
• Amendments to IFRS 2: Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions (effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018).
The amendments mean that non-market performance vesting conditions will impact measurement of cash-settled share-based
payment transactions in the same manner as equity-settled awards. The amendments also clarify classification of a transaction
with a net settlement feature in which the entity withholds a specified portion of the equity instruments, that would otherwise
be issued to the counterparty upon exercise (or vesting), in return for settling the counterparty's tax obligation that is associated
with the share-based payment. Such arrangements will be classified as equity-settled in their entirety. Finally, the amendments
also clarify accounting for cash-settled share based payments that are modified to become equity-settled, as follows (a) the
share-based payment is measured by reference to the modification-date fair value of the equity instruments granted as a result
of the modification; (b) the liability is derecognised upon the modification, (c) the equity-settled share-based payment is
recognised to the extent that the services have been rendered up to the modification date, and (d) the difference between the
carrying amount of the liability as at the modification date and the amount recognised in equity at the same date is recorded
in profit or loss immediately.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2017|41
2. Adoption of new and revised Standards and Interpretations (continued)
(ii) Issued by the IASB but not yet adopted by the European Union
Based on the Company’s initial assessment, these clarifications are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
financial statements.
•
•
•
•
IAS 7 (Amendments) ''Disclosure Initiative'' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017).
The amended IAS 7 will require disclosure of a reconciliation of movements in liabilities arising from financing activities.
IFRS 16 ''Leases'' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019).
The new standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. All leases
result in the lessee obtaining the right to use an asset at the start of the lease and, if lease payments are made over time, also
obtaining financing. Accordingly, IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases as
is required by IAS 17 and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model. Lessees will be required to recognise: (a) assets
and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value; and (b) depreciation
of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the income statement. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the
lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance
leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently.
IFRS 9 (Amendments) “Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation” (effective for annual periods beginning
on or after 1 January 2019).
IAS 28 (Amendments) “Long-term Interest in Associates and Joint Ventures” (effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2019).
• Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 Cycle (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January
2019).
NEW IFRICS
•
IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments” (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January
2019).
The interpretation is to be applied to the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax
credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under IAS 12.
•
IFRIC 22 “Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration” (effective for annual periods beginning on
or after 1 January 2018).
The interpretation addresses how to determine the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to
use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part thereof) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset
or non-monetary liability arising from an advance consideration in a foreign currency. Under IAS 21, the date of the transaction
for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part
thereof) is the date on which an entity initially recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the
advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then the entity must determine the date of the
transaction for each payment or receipt of advance consideration. IFRIC 22 only applies in circumstances in which an entity
recognises a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from an advance consideration. IFRIC 22 does not provide
application guidance on the definition of monetary and non-monetary items. An advance payment or receipt of consideration
generally gives rise to the recognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability, however, it may also give rise to a
monetary asset or liability. An entity may need to apply judgment in determining whether an item is monetary or non-monetary.
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, investment property under construction and available for sale financial assets 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.
Local statutory accounting principles and procedures differ from those generally accepted under IFRS. Accordingly, the consolidated
financial information, which has been prepared from the local statutory accounting records for the entities of the Group domiciled in
Cyprus, Romania, Ukraine, Greece and Bulgaria reflects adjustments necessary for such consolidated financial information to be
presented in accordance with IFRS.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2017|42
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
3.3 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities (including special purpose
entities) controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries).
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the
Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power over the entity.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a
subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests
issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent
consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are
measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an
acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts
of acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in
the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized
in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to
the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with IAS 39 either in
profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured,
and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs,
the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted
during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect new information obtained about
facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.
Business combinations that took place prior to 1 January 2010 were accounted for in accordance with the previous version of IFRS 3.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses
are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Group’s accounting
policies.
Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control and Disposal of Subsidiaries
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions - that is, as
transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant
share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling
interests are also recorded in equity.
When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is
lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of
subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously
recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related
assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
3.4 Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the Group's financial statements are measured applying the currency of the primary economic environment in which
the entities operate (''the functional currency''). The national currency of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Hryvnia, is the functional currency for
all the Group’s entities located in Ukraine, the Romanian leu is the functional currency for all Group’s entities located in Romania, the
Bulgarian lev is the functional currency for all Group’s entities in Bulgaria and the Euro is the functional currency for all the Greek and
Cypriot subsidiaries.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro, which is the Group’s presentation currency.
As Management records the consolidated financial information of the entities domiciled in Cyprus, Romania, Ukraine, Greece and
Bulgaria in their functional currencies, in translating financial information of the entities domiciled in these countries into Euro for
inclusion in the consolidated financial statements, the Group follows a translation policy in accordance with 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;
Equity of the Group has been translated using the historical rates;
Income and expense items are translated using exchange rates at the dates of the transactions, or where this is not practicable
the average rate has been used;
All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity;
When a foreign operation is disposed of through sale, liquidation, repayment of share capital or abandonment of all, or part
of that entity, the exchange differences deferred in equity are reclassified to the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income as part of the gain or loss on sale;

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

3.5 Investment Property at fair value
Investment property, comprising freehold and leasehold land, investment properties held for future development, warehouse and office
properties as well as the residential property units, is held for long term rental yields and/or for capital appreciation and is not occupied
by the Group. Investment property and investment property under construction are carried at fair value, representing open market
value determined annually by external valuers. Changes in fair values are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income and are
included in other operating income.
A number of the land leases (all in Ukraine) are held for relatively short terms and place an obligation upon the lessee to complete
development by a prescribed date. It is important to note that the rights to complete a development may be lost or at least delayed if
the lessee fails to complete a permitted development within the timescale set out by the ground lease.
In addition, in the event that a development has not commenced upon the expiry of a lease then the City Authorities are entitled to
decline the granting of a new lease on the basis that the land is not used in accordance with the designation. Furthermore, where all
necessary permissions and consents for the development are not in place, this may provide the City Authorities with grounds for
rescinding or non-renewal of the ground lease. However Management believes that the possibility of such action is remote and was
made only under limited circumstances in the past.
Management believes that rescinding or non-renewal of the ground lease is remote if a project is on the final stage of development or
on the operating cycle. In undertaking the valuations reported herein, the valuer of Ukrainian properties CBRE has made the assumption
that no such circumstances will arise to permit the City Authorities to rescind the land lease or not to grant a renewal.
Land held under operating lease is classified and accounted for as investment property when the rest of the definition is met. The
operating lease is accounted for as if it were a finance lease.
Investment property under development or construction initially is measured at cost, including related transaction costs.
The property is classified in accordance with the intention of the management for its future use. Intention to use is determined by the
Board of Directors after reviewing market conditions, profitability of the projects, ability to finance the project and obtaining required
construction permits.
The time point, when the intention of the management is finalized is the date of start of construction. At the moment of start of
construction, freehold land, leasehold land and investment properties held for a future redevelopment are reclassified into investment
property under development or inventory in accordance to the final decision of management.
Initial measurement and recognition
Investment property is measured initially at cost, including related transaction costs. Investment properties are derecognized when
either they have been disposed off 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.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2017|44
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
3.5 Investment Property at fair value (continued)
Subsequent measurement
Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is stated at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of
investment property are included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
If a valuation obtained for an investment property held under a lease is net of all payments expected to be made, any related
liabilities/assets recognized separately in the statement of financial position are added back/reduced to arrive at the carrying value of
the investment property for accounting purposes.
Subsequent expenditure is charged to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated
with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are
charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Basis of valuation
The fair values reflect market conditions at the financial position date. These valuations are prepared annually by chartered surveyors
(hereafter “appraisers”). The Group appointed valuers in 2014 which remain the same in 2017:
•
•
CBRE Ukraine, for all its Ukrainian properties,
Real Act for all its Romanian, Greek and Bulgarian properties.
The valuations have been carried out by the appraisers on the basis of Market Value in accordance with the appropriate sections of the
current Practice Statements contained within the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (“RICS”) Valuation – Global Standards (2017)
(the “Red Book”) and is also compliant with the International Valuation Standards (IVS).
“Market Value”, is defined as: “The estimated amount for which a property should 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”.
In expressing opinions on Market Value, in certain cases the appraisers have estimated net annual rentals/income from sale. These
are assessed on the assumption that they are the best rent/sale prices at which a new letting/sale of an interest in property would have
been completed at the date of valuation assuming: a willing landlord/buyer; that prior to the date of valuation there had been a
reasonable period (having regard to the nature of the property and the state of the market) for the proper marketing of the interest,
for the agreement of the price and terms and for the completion of the letting/sale; that the state of the market, levels of value and
other circumstances were, on any earlier assumed date of entering into an agreement for lease/sale, the same as on the valuation date;
that no account is taken of any additional bid by a prospective tenant/buyer with a special interest; that the principal deal conditions
assumed to apply are the same as in the market at the time of valuation; that both parties to the transaction had acted knowledgeably,
prudently and without compulsion.
A number of properties are held by way of ground leasehold interests granted by the City Authorities. The ground rental payments of
such interests may be reviewed on an annual basis, in either an upwards or downwards direction, by reference to an established
formula. Within the terms of the lease, there is a right to extend the term of the lease upon expiry in line with the existing terms and
conditions thereof. In arriving at opinions of Market Value, the appraisers assumed that the respective ground leases are capable of
extension in accordance with the terms of each lease. In addition, given that such interests are not assignable, it was assumed that
each leasehold interest is held by way of a special purpose vehicle (“SPV”), and that the shares in the respective SPVs are transferable.
With regard to each of the properties considered, in those instances where project documentation has been agreed with the respective
local authorities, opinions of the appraisers of value have been based on such agreements.
In those instances where the properties are held in part ownership, the valuations assume that these interests are saleable in the open
market without any restriction from the co-owner and that there are no encumbrances within the share agreements which would impact
the sale ability of the properties concerned.
The valuation is exclusive of VAT and no allowances have been made for any expenses of realization or for taxation which might arise
in the event of a disposal of any property.
In some instances the appraisers constructed a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. DCF analysis is a financial modeling technique
based on explicit assumptions regarding the prospective income and expenses of a property or business. The analysis is a forecast of
receipts and disbursements during the period concerned. The forecast is based on the assessment of market prices for comparable
premises, build rates, cost levels etc. from the point of view of a probable developer.
To these projected cash flows, an appropriate, market-derived discount rate is applied to establish an indication of the present value of
the income stream associated with the property. In this case, it is a development property and thus estimates of capital outlays,
development costs, and anticipated sales income are used to produce net cash flows that are then discounted over the projected
development and marketing periods. The Net Present Value (NPV) of such cash flows could represent what someone might be willing
to pay for the site and is therefore an indicator of market value. All the payments are projected in nominal US Dollar/Euro amounts and
thus incorporate relevant inflation measures.

3.5 Investment Property at fair value (continued)
Valuation Approach
In addition to the above general valuation methodology, the appraisers have taken into account in arriving at Market Value the following:
Pre Development
In those instances where the nature of the ‘Project’ has been defined, it was assumed that the subject property will be developed in
accordance with this blueprint. The final outcome of the development of the property is determined by the Board of Directors decision,
which is based on existing market conditions, profitability of the project, ability to finance the project and obtaining required construction
permits.
Development
In terms of construction costs, the budgeted costs have been taken into account in considering opinions of value. However, the
appraisers have also had regard to current construction rates prevailing in the market which a prospective purchaser may deem
appropriate to adopt in constructing each individual scheme. Although in some instances the appraisers have adopted the budgeted
costs provided, in some cases the appraisers’ own opinions of costs were used.
Post Development
Rental values have been assessed as at the date of valuation but having regard to the existing occupational markets taking into account
the likely supply and demand dynamics during the anticipated development period. The standard letting fees were assumed within the
valuations. In arriving at their estimates of gross development value (“GDV”), the appraisers have capitalized their opinion of net
operating income, having deducted any anticipated non-recoverable expenses, such as land payments, and permanent void allowance,
which has then been capitalized into perpetuity.
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.
3.6 Investment Property under development
Property that is currently being constructed or developed, for future use as investment property is classified as investment property
under development carried at cost until construction or development is complete, or its fair value can be reliably determined. This
applies even if the works have temporarily being stopped.
3.7 Goodwill
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated
impairment losses, if any.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units (or Groups of cash-generating
units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is
indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the
impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the
unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized directly in profit or
loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent
periods.
On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or
loss on disposal.
3.8 Property, Plant and equipment and intangible assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible non-current assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Properties in the course of construction for production, rental or administrative purposes, or for purposes not yet determined and
intangibles not inputted into exploitation, are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and,
for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Group's accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the
same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2017|46
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
3.8 Property, Plant and equipment and intangible assets (continued)
Depreciation and amortization are calculated on the straight-line basis so as to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over
its estimated useful life. The annual depreciation rates are as follows:
Type
Leasehold
IT hardware
Motor vehicles
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment
Machinery and equipment
Software and Licenses
No depreciation is charged on land.
%
20
33
25
20
15
33
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 tangible and intangible assets is charged to the statement of comprehensive income of the
year in which it is incurred. The cost of major renovations and other subsequent expenditure are included in the carrying amount of the
asset when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing
asset will flow to the Group. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.
An item of tangible and intangible assets is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from
the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is
determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in the statement of
comprehensive income.
3.9 Available for sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other
categories. They are included in non-current assets, unless Management intends to dispose of the investment within twelve months of
the reporting date.
Shares of a property holding corporate entity that are owned by the Group in lieu of owning a percentage of the asset itself, are
considered under this classification even if the shares are not intended to be sold immediately but are intended to offer to the Group
the said percentage of the revenue streams generated by the property asset itself.
Regular way purchases and sales of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised on trade-date which is the date on which the
Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. Financial assets
are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group
has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value.
When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in other
comprehensive income are included in profit or loss as gains and losses on available-for-sale financial assets.
Interest on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the profit or loss. Dividends on
available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive payments is established.
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is
impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the
security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale
financial assets the cumulative loss which is measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less
any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss, is removed from equity and recognised in profit or
loss.
In respect of available for sale equity securities, impairment losses previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through
profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated under the heading of investments fair value reserve. In respect of available for sale debt securities, impairment losses
are subsequently reversed through profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an
event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2017|47
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
3.10 Inventory
Inventory principally comprises of residential property. Inventory is recognized initially at cost, including transaction costs, which
represent its fair value at the time of acquisition. Costs related to the development of land are capitalised and recognized as inventory.
Inventory is carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
3.11 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost.
Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period
of the borrowings, using the effective interest method, unless they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production
of a qualifying asset, in which case they are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that
some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extend there is no
evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a prepayment and amortised
over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that the Group incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds, including interest on
borrowings, amortization of discounts or premium relating to borrowings, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the
arrangement of borrowings, finance lease charges and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent
that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, being an asset that
necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset,
when it is probable that they will result in future economic benefits to the Group and the costs can be measured reliably.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities, unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at
least twelve months after the reporting date.
3.12 Tenant security deposits
Tenant security deposits represent financial advances made by lessees as guarantees during the lease and are repayable by the Group
upon termination of the contracts. Tenant security deposits are recognized at nominal value.
3.13 Financial liabilities and equity instruments
3.13.1 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.
3.13.2 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.
Share premium account can only be resorted to for limited purposes, which don’t include the distribution of dividends, and is otherwise
subject to the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law on reduction of share capital.
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.
3.13.3 Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities “at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss” or “other financial liabilities”.
3.13.3.1 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.
•
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2017|48
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
3.13 Financial liabilities and equity instruments (continued)
3.13.3.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL (continued)
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 re-measurement 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.
3.13.3.2 Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities (including borrowings) are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized 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.
Preference shares, which may be redeemable on a specific date, are classified as liabilities. The dividends, if any, on these preference
shares are recognized in the income statement as interest expense.
3.13.3.3 De-recognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they are expired.
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized
in profit or loss.
3.14 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 realize 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.
3.15 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.

3.16 Cash and Cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral
part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of
cash flows.
3.17 Share Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
3.18 Share premium
The difference between the fair value of the consideration received by the shareholders and the nominal value of the share capital
being issued is taken to the share premium account.
3.19 Share-based compensation
The Group had in the past and intends in the future to operate a number of equity-settled, share-based compensation plans, under
which the Group receives services from Directors and/or employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Group. The
fair value of the Director and employee cost related to services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognized as an
expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, excluding the impact of
any non-market service and performance vesting conditions. The total amount expensed is recognized over the vesting period, which
is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At each financial position date, the Group revises its
estimates on the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognizes the impact
of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the statement of comprehensive income, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The
proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital and share premium when the options
are exercised.
3.20 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal, tax or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable
that the Group will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. As at the
reporting date the Group has settled all its construction liabilities.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of
the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using
the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect
of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable
is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured
reliably.
3.21 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 above).
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.
3.22 Non-current liabilities
Non-current liabilities represent amounts that are due in more than twelve months from the reporting date.
3.23 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:
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2017|50
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
3.23 Revenue recognition (continued)
3.23.1 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.
3.23.2 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).
3.23.3 Interest income
Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion (accrual) basis, using the effective interest rate method.
3.23.4 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.
3.24 Service charges and expenses recoverable from tenants
Income arising from expenses recharged to tenants is recognized on an accrual basis.
3.25 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.
3.26 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.
3.27 Asset Acquisition Related Transaction Expenses
Expenses incurred by the Group for acquiring a subsidiary or associate company as part of an Investment Property and are directly
attributable to such acquisition are recognized within the cost of the Investment Property and are subsequently accounted as per the
Group’s accounting Policy for Investment Property subsequent measurement.
3.28 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
3.28.1 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.
3.28.2 Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Currently enacted tax rates are used in the determination of deferred tax.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary
differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax
liabilities and when the deferred taxes relate to the same fiscal authority.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2017|51
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
3.28 Taxation (continued)
3.28.3 Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, except when they relate to items that are recognized
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a
business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
The operational subsidiaries of the Group are incorporated in Ukraine, Greece, Bulgaria and Romania, while the Parent and some holding
companies are incorporated in Cyprus. The Group’s management and control is exercised in Cyprus.
The Group’s Management does not intend to dispose of any asset, unless a significant opportunity arises. In the event that a decision
is taken in the future to dispose of any asset it is the Group’s intention to dispose of shares in subsidiaries rather than assets. The
corporate income tax exposure on disposal of subsidiaries is mitigated by the fact that the sale would represent a disposal of the
securities by a non-resident shareholder and therefore would be exempt from tax. The Group is therefore in a position to control the
reversal of any temporary differences and as such, no deferred tax liability has been provided for in the financial statements.
3.28.4 Withholding Tax
The Group follows the applicable legislation as defined in all double taxation treaties (DTA) between Cyprus and any of the countries of
Operations (Romania, Ukraine, Greece, Bulgaria). In the case of Romania, as the latter is part of the European Union, through the
relevant directives the withholding tax is reduced to NIL subject to various conditions.
3.28.5 Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Group’s financial statements in the period in which
the dividends are approved by the Company’s shareholders.
3.29 Value added tax
VAT levied at various jurisdictions were the Group is active, was at the following rates, as at the end of the reporting period:
•
•
•
•
•
20% on Ukrainian domestic sales and imports of goods, works and services and 0% on export of goods and provision of
works or services to be used outside Ukraine.
19% on Cyprus domestic sales and imports of goods, works and services and 0% on export of goods and provision of works
or services to be used outside Cyprus.
19% on Romanian domestic sales and imports of goods, works and services (decreased from 20% from 1 January 2017) and
0% on export of goods and provision of works or services to be used outside Romania.
20% on Bulgarian domestic sales and imports of goods, works and services and 0% on export of goods and provision of
services to taxable persons outside Bulgaria.
24% on Greek domestic sales and imports of goods, works and services (increased from 23% from 1 June 2016) and 0% on
export of goods and provision of works or services to be used outside Romania.
3.30 Operating segments analysis
Segment reporting is presented on the basis of Management’s perspective and relates to the parts of the Group that are defined as
operating segments. Operating segments are identified on the basis of their economic nature and through internal reports provided to
the Group’s Management who oversee operations and make decisions on allocating resources serve. These internal reports are prepared
to a great extent on the same basis as these consolidated financial statements.
For the reporting period the Group has identified the following material reportable segments, where the Group is active in acquiring,
holding, managing and disposing:
Commercial-Industrial
• Warehouse segment
Office segment
•
Retail segment
•
Residential
•
Residential segment
Land Assets
•
Land assets – the Group owns a number of land assets which are either available for sale or for potential development
The Group also monitors investment property assets on a Geographical Segmentation, namely the country where its property is located.
3.31 Earnings and Net Assets value per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) and net asset value per share (NAV) for its ordinary shares.
Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing net profit/loss for the year, attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Basic NAV amounts are calculated by dividing net asset value
as at year end, attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the number of ordinary shares outstanding at the end of the
year.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2017|52
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
3.31 Earnings and Net Assets value per share (continued)
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net profit/loss for the year, attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent, by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be
issued on conversion of all the potentially dilutive ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
Diluted NAV is calculated by dividing net asset value as at year end, attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent with the
number of ordinary shares outstanding at year end plus the number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the
potentially dilutive ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
3.32 Comparative Period
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current year.
4. Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and requires
Management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. It also requires the use of assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on
Management's best knowledge of current events and actions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed
to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results though may ultimately differ from those estimates.
As the Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future, the resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom
equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
Provision for impairment of receivables
•
The Group reviews its trade and other receivables for evidence of their recoverability. Such evidence includes the counter party's
payment record, and overall financial position as well as the state's ability to pay its dues (VAT receivable). If indications of non-
recoverability exist, the recoverable amount is estimated and a respective provision for impairment of receivables is made. The amount
of the provision is charged through profit or loss. The review of credit risk is continuous and the methodology and assumptions used
for estimating the provision are reviewed regularly and adjusted accordingly. As at the reporting date Management did not consider
necessary to make a provision for impairment of receivables.
Fair value of investment property
•
The fair value of investment property is determined by using various valuation techniques. The Group selects accredited professional
valuers with local presence to perform such valuations. Such valuers use their judgment to select a variety of methods and make
assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each financial reporting date. The fair value has been estimated as
at 31 December 2017 (Note 17).
Income taxes
•
Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are transactions and calculations for which the
ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit
issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the
amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such
determination is made.
Impairment of tangible assets
•
Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds
its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes
of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating
units).
Provision for deferred taxes
•
Deferred tax is not provided in respect of the revaluation of the investment property and investment property under development as
the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of this temporary difference and the Management has intention not to reverse
the temporary difference in the foreseeable future. The properties are held by subsidiary companies in Ukraine, Greece and Romania.
Management estimates that the assets will be realized through a share deal rather than through an asset deal. Should any subsidiary
be disposed of, the gains generated from the disposal will be exempt from any tax.
Application of IFRS 10
•
The Group has considered the application of IFRS 10 and concluded that the Company is not an Investment Entity as defined by IFRS
10 and it should continue to consolidate all of its investments, as in 2016. The reasons for such conclusion are among others that the
Company continues:
a) not to be an Investment Management Service provider to Investors,
b) to actively manages its own portfolio (leasing, development, allocation of capital expenditure for its properties, marketing etc)
in order to provide benefits other than capital appreciation and/or investment income,
c) to have investments that are not bound by time in relation to the exit strategy nor to the way that are being exploited,
d) to provide asset management services to its subsidiaries as well as loans and guarantees (directly or indirectly),
e) even though is using Fair Value metrics in evaluating its investments, this is being done primarily for presentation purposes
rather that evaluating income generating capability and making investment decisions. The latter is being based on metrics like
IRR, ROE and others.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2017|53
5. Risk Management
5.1 Financial risk factors
The Group is exposed to operating country risk, real estate property holding and development associated risks, property market price
risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, other market price risk, operational risk, compliance risk, litigation risk,
reputation risk, capital risk and other risks arising from the financial instruments it holds. The risk management policies employed by
the Group to manage these risks are discussed below.
5.1.1 Operating Country Risks
The Group is exposed to risks stemming from the political and economic environment of countries in which it operates. Notably:
5.1.1.1 Ukraine
In 2017, annual inflation rate amounted to 13,7% (2016: 12,4%). The Ukrainian economy showed recovery from the economic and
political crisis of previous years that resulted in real GDP growth of around 2,5% (2016: 2,3%) and stabilization of national currency.
From trading perspective, the economy was demonstrating refocusing on the European Union (“EU”) market, which was a result of the
signed Association Agreement with the EU in January 2016 that established the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (“DCFTA”).
Under this agreement, Ukraine has committed to harmonize its national trade-related rules, norms, and standards with those of the EU,
progressively reduce import customs duties for the goods originating from the EU member states, and abolish export customs duties
during a 10-year transitional period. Implementation of DCFTA began on 1 January 2017. As a result, the Russian Federation
implemented a trade embargo or import duties on key Ukrainian export products. In response, Ukraine implemented similar measures
against Russian products.
In terms of currency regulations, the National Bank of Ukraine (“NBU”) decreased the required share of mandatory sale of foreign
currency proceeds from 65% to 50% from April 2017, increased settlement period for export-import transactions in foreign currency
from 120 to 180 days from May 2017, and allowed companies to pay the 2013 (and earlier) dividends with a limit of USD 2 million per
month from November 2017 (from June 2016, companies were allowed to pay dividends for 2014–2016 to non-residents with a limit of
USD 5 million per month).
In March 2015, Ukraine signed four-year Extended Fund Facility (“EFF”) with the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) that will last until
March 2019. The total program amounted to USD 17,5 billion, while Ukraine has so far received only USD 8,7 billion from the entire
amount. In September 2017, Ukraine successfully issued USD 3 billion of Eurobonds, of which USD 1,3 billion is new financing, with the
remaining amount aimed to refinance the bonds due in 2019. The NBU expects that Ukraine will receive another USD 3,5 billion from
the IMF in 2018. To receive next tranches, the government of Ukraine has to implement certain key reforms, including in such areas as
pension system, anti-corruption regulations, and privatization.
Further stabilization of the economic and political situation depends, to a large extent, upon success of the Ukrainian government’s
efforts. Despite certain improvements in 2017, the final resolution and the ongoing effects of the political and economic situation are
difficult to be predicted, and they may have negative effects on the Ukrainian economy, and in turn on the local operations of the
Group.
Overall following the sale of Terminal Brovary the expose of the Group in Ukraine was significantly reduced.
5.1.1.2 Greece
Greek economy showed signs of recovery during 2017, with positive GDP growth, lower unemployment rate, and strong primary surplus.
Following the agreement with the credit institutions (EU/ECB/IMF/ESM), Greek economy is under assessment for an exit of relevant
support program in August 2018. A final review of the program is set for summer 2018, while the government is in the process of
completing the last creditor-mandated measures, including privatizations, and energy market reforms, to ensure a positive outcome.
Negotiations and actions taken so far by the Greek government point towards an effective end of the program at such time. In addition,
debt relief negotiations continue, although a final decision has not yet been taken by the creditors.
ECB has already released the last assessment of the banking sector stress tests, which provided clean results. Such results could allow
20bn euros in bailout funds set aside for the banking sector, to be used for other purposes, which would be very positive news for
future economic policy. As a result of these tests, capital controls and restrictions imposed in the Banking sector in June 2015 have
been substantially relieved within 2018, while lending activity on behalf of the Banks has been re-started with positive impact on
domestic business activity.
The result of debt relief negotiations and a clean exit of the support program remain critical to the economy’s long-term prospects. The
expected favorable outcome will have a direct positive impact, by allowing Greece to go to the markets in order to fund its needs, and
by boosting the overall economic activity. On the other hand, any possible negative developments will have an impact on economic
recovery, which will be slower, or even in risk. In such a case, the results and financial position of Group’s Greek operations could be
negatively affected to some extent, in a manner not currently determinable.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2017|54
5. Risk Management (continued)
5.1 Financial risk factors (continued)
5.1.1 Operating Country Risks (continued)
5.1.1.3 Romania
Romanian economy continuous in 2017 to be the top GDP growth performer in European Union following strong performance of the
previous years. Main growth drivers recorded as private consumption, investment, and indirect tax cuts, supported by wage hikes.
The economy maintains balanced economic variables with current deficit around 3% of GDP, public debt less than 40% of GDP and
stabilized inflation rate. Unemployment rate of 4,9% is the lowest it has been for the past 20 years, driving wages up, but still labor
cost is one of the lowest in European Union (ranked 27 out of 28, and 74% below EU average) attracting continuously foreign investment
in production and services sectors. Fixed investment is expected to higher levels in the near future due to rising European Union funds.
Possible overheating of the economy in the future may emerge risks, as economic activity will slow down, prices will drop, and the local
activities of the Group could be negatively affected. The Group monitors closely the performance of the Romanian economy, and the
local political and fiscal developments, in order to detect negative signs and being able to adjust effectively its local strategy and its
operations in the country.
5.1.2 Risks associated with property holding and development associated risks
Several factors may affect the economic performance and value of the Group's properties, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
risks associated with construction activity at the properties, including delays, the imposition of liens and defects in
workmanship;
the ability to collect rent from tenants , on a timely basis or at all, taking also into account the UAH rapid devaluation;
the amount of rent and the terms on which lease renewals and new leases are agreed being less favorable than current
leases;
cyclical fluctuations in the property market generally;
local conditions such as an oversupply of similar properties or a reduction in demand for the properties;
the attractiveness of the property to tenants or residential purchasers;
decreases in capital valuations of property;
changes in availability and costs of financing, which may affect the sale or refinancing of properties;
covenants, conditions, restrictions and easements relating to the properties;
changes in governmental legislation and regulations, including but not limited to designated use, allocation, environmental
usage, taxation and insurance;
the risk of bad or unmarketable title due to failure to register or perfect our interests or the existence of prior claims,
encumbrances or charges of which we may be unaware at the time of purchase;
the possibility of occupants in the properties, whether squatters or those with legitimate claims to take possession;
the ability to pay for adequate maintenance, insurance and other operating costs, including taxes, which could increase over
time; and
political uncertainty, acts of terrorism and acts of nature, such as earthquakes and floods that may damage the properties.
5.1.3 Property Market price risk
Market price risk is the risk that the value of the Group’s portfolio investments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. The
Group's assets are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future prices of the investments. The Group's market
price risk is managed through diversification of the investment portfolio, continuous elaboration of the market conditions and active
asset management. To quantify the value of its assets and/or indicate the possibility of impairment losses, the Group commissioned
internationally acclaimed valuers.
Valuations reported as at 31 December 2017 take into account the continuation of political instability in Ukraine. Given the nature of
the Group’s assets the most immediate effect would be the prolongation of the period needed to market and effectively sell an asset
under such duress conditions.
The BoD is monitoring the situation to ensure that assets’ value is preserved while at the same time through diversification according
to the strategic plan of the Group, Ukrainian operations are gradually becoming a smaller part of a larger portfolio of assets.
5.1.4 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.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2017|55
5. Risk Management (continued)
5.1 Financial risk factors (continued)
5.1.5 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.
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) have entered into deleveraging programs.
5.1.6 Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
Currency risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not
the Group's functional currency. Excluding the transactions in Ukraine all of the Group’s transactions, including the rental proceeds are
denominated or pegged to EUR. In Ukraine even though some of the rental proceeds are denominated in USD, Management has been
monitoring the rental market decoupling from the USD and switching to the UAH, which entails significant FX risks for the Group in the
future. Management monitors the exchange rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly, by limiting net exposures to
a few days to 2 months. It should be noted that the current political uncertainty in Ukraine, and the currency devaluation may affect
the Group’s income streams indirectly also through affecting the financial condition of the tenants of the Group’s properties their solvency
and their income generating capacity.
Management is monitoring foreign exchange fluctuations closely and acts accordingly.
5.1.7 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 41.1 of the consolidated financial
statements.
5.1.8 Compliance risk
Compliance risk is the risk of financial loss, including fines and other penalties, which arises from non-compliance with laws and
regulations of each country the Group is present as well as from the stock exchange where the Company is listed. Although the Group
is trying to limit such risk, the uncertain environment in which it operates in various countries increases the complexities handled by
Management.
5.1.9 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.
5.1.10 Insolvency risk
Insolvency arises from situations where a company may not meet its financial obligations towards a lender as debts become due.
Addressing and resolving any insolvency issues is usually a slow moving process in the Region. Management is closely involved in
discussions with creditors when/if such cases arise in any subsidiary of the Group aiming to effect alternate repayment plans including
debt repayment so as to minimize the effects of such situations on the Group’s asset base.
5.2. 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.
5.3. 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.

In respect of the Fair Value of Investment Properties the following table represents an analysis based on the various valuation methods.
The different levels as defined by IFRS have been defined as follows:
-
-
-
Level 1 relates to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active and liquid markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 relates to inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability indirectly (that is, derived from
prices). Level 2 fair values of investment properties have been derived using the market value approach by comparing the
subject asset with similar assets for which price information is available. Under this approach the first step is to consider the
prices for transactions of similar assets that have occurred recently in the market. The most significant input into this valuation
approach is price per sqm.
Level 3 relates to inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
Level 3 valuations have been performed by the external valuer using the income approach (discounted cash flow) due to the
lack of similar sales in the local market (unobservable inputs).
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2017|66
17. Investment Property (continued)
17.5 Investment Property valuation method presentation (continued)
To derive Fair Values the Group has adopted a combination of income and market approach weighted according to the predominant
local market and economic conditions.

b. Disposal of subsidiaries
At 27 January 2017 the SL Logistics Group (Terminal Brovary related) was sold to Temania Enterprises Ltd (company related to Rozetka
Group). The transaction was concluded at a Gross Asset Value of ~€15 million (before the deduction of the outstanding EBRD loan,
which was transferred to the buyer, while the SPDI guarantee to EBRD loan was cancelled). The transaction generated a profit for SPDI
of ~€2,7 million, already included in the 2016 financial statements by way of presenting the property at a fair value equal to the
transaction value, as well as a cash inflow of ~€3million. As part of the transaction the Group also sold SL SECURE Logistics Ltd, and
thus transferred its loan towards Terminal Brovary to the buyer.
The Company had loans receivable from foreign group subsidiaries which are considered as part of the Group’s net investments in those
foreign operations (Note 38.3). For these intercompany loans the foreign exchange differences are recognized initially in other
comprehensive income and in a separate component of equity. Upon disposal of such foreign operations and thus of Terminal Brovary
during 2017, the accumulated foreign exchange difference amounting to €37.352.923 is transferred to the Consolidated Profit or Loss
for the year.
The table below shows the Balance Sheet of the Terminal Brovary Group at the disposal date.

39. Contingent Liabilities
39.1 Tax Litigation
The Group performed during the reporting period a part of its operations in the Ukraine, within the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian tax
authorities. The Ukrainian tax system can be characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation, which may be applied
retroactively, open to wide and in some cases, conflicting interpretation. Instances of inconsistent opinions between local, regional, and
national tax authorities and between the National Bank of Ukraine and the Ministry of Finance are not unusual. Tax declarations are
subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities, which are authorised by law to impose severe fines and penalties and
interest charges. Any tax year remains open for review by the tax authorities during the three following subsequent calendar years;
however, under certain circumstances a tax year may remain open for longer. Overall following the sale of Terminal Brovary the
exposure of the Group in Ukraine was significantly reduced.
The Group performed during the reporting period part of its operations also in Romania, Greece and Bulgaria. In respect of Romanian,
Bulgarian and Greek taxation systems all are subject to varying interpretation and to constant changes, which may be retroactive. In
certain circumstances the tax authorities can be arbitrary in certain cases.
These facts create tax risks which are substantially more significant than those typically found in countries with more developed tax
systems. Management believes that it has adequately provided for tax liabilities, based on its interpretation of tax legislation, official
pronouncements and court decisions. However, the interpretations of the relevant authorities could differ and the effect on these
consolidated financial statements, if the authorities were successful in enforcing their interpretations, could be significant.

39.2 Construction related litigation
There are no material claims from contractors due to the postponement of projects or delayed delivery other than those disclosed in
the financial statements.
39.3 Delia Lebada SRL debt towards Bank of Cyprus
Sec South East Continent Unique Real Estate (SECURED) Investment Ltd has provided in 2007 a corporate guarantee to Bank of Cyprus
in respect to the loan provided by the latter to its subsidiary Delia Lebada SRL, the owner of the Pantelimon Lake plot (Note 17). As the
loan was in default, the bank had initiated an insolvency procedure. In July 2017 the Company concluded its discussions with the bank
and settled all debts and guarantees following successful disposal of Delia Leabada plot (Note 18b). Provision was taken by management
in 2015 for €700.000 while finally the Company as part of the sale of the asset and cancellation of the corporate guarantee transaction
paid €550.000 and as such the difference of €150.000 was reversed in 2017 (Note 12).
39.4 Other Litigation
The Group has a number of legal cases pending. Management does not believe that the result of these will have a substantial overall
effect on the Group’s financial position. Consequently no such provision is included in the current financial statements.
39.5 Other Contingent Liabilities
The Group had no other contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2017.
40. Commitments
The Group had no other commitments as at 31 December 2017.
41. Financial Risk Management
41.1 Capital Risk Management
The Group manages its capital to ensure adequate liquidity will be able to implement its stated growth strategy in order to maximize
the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt-equity structure and value enhancing actions in respect of its portfolio
of investments. The capital structure of the Group consists of borrowings (Note 29), bonds (Note 30), trade and other payables (Note
31) deposits from tenants (Note 32), financial leases (Note 34), taxes payable (Note 33) and equity attributable to ordinary or preferred
shareholders.
Management reviews the capital structure on an on-going basis. As part of the review Management considers the differential capital
costs in the debt and equity markets, the timing at which each investment project requires funding and the operating requirements so
as to proactively provide for capital either in the form of equity (issuance of shares to the Group’s shareholders) or in the form of debt.
Management balances the capital structure of the Group with a view of maximizing the shareholder’s Return on Equity (ROE) while
adhering to the operational requirements of the property assets and exercising prudent judgment as to the extent of gearing.

41. Financial Risk Management (continued)
41.3 Financial Risk Management Objectives
The Group’s Treasury function provides services to its various corporate entities, coordinates access to local and international financial
markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group, mainly the investing and development
functions. Its primary goal is to secure the Group’s liquidity and to minimize the effect of the financial asset price variability on the cash
flow of the Group. These risks cover market risks including foreign exchange risks and interest rate risk as well as credit risk and liquidity
risk.
The above mentioned risk exposures may be hedged using derivative instruments whenever appropriate. The use of financial derivatives
is governed by the Group’s approved policies which indicate that the use of derivatives is for hedging purposes only. The Group does
not enter into speculative derivative trading positions. The same policies provide for the investment of excess liquidity. As at the end of
the reporting period, the Group had not entered into any derivative contracts.
41.4 Economic Market Risk Management
The Group operates in Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and Ukraine. The Group’s activities expose it primarily to financial risks of changes in
currency exchange rates and interest rates. The exposures and the management of the associated risks are described below. There has
been no change in the way the Group measures and manages risks.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Currency risk arises when commercial transactions and recognized financial assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is
not the Group's functional currency. Most of the Group’s financial assets are denominated in the functional currency. Management is
monitoring the net exposures and adopts policies to encounter them so that the net effect of devaluation is minimized.
Interest Rate Risk
The Group's income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates as the Group has no
significant interest-bearing assets. On December 31st, 2017, cash and cash equivalent financial assets amounted to €831.124 (2016:
€1.701.007) of which approx. €2.000 in UAH and €389.000 in RON (Note 25) while the remaining are mainly denominated in either
USD or €.
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its borrowings amounting to €30.486.465 (31 December 2016: €48.475.454) as
they are issued at variable rates tied to the Libor or Euribor. Management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis
and evaluates hedging options to align the Group’s strategy with the interest rate view and the defined risk appetite. Although no
hedging has been applied for the reporting period, such may take place in the future if deemed necessary in order to protect the cash
flow of a property asset through different interest rate cycles.
Management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and evaluates hedging options to align the Group’s strategy

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 5.
41.5 Credit Risk Management
The Group has no significant credit risk exposure. The credit risk emanating from the liquid funds is limited because the Group’s
counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies. The Credit risk of receivables is
reduced as the majority of the receivables represent VAT to be offset through VAT income in the future. In respect of receivables from
tenants these are kept to a minimum of 2 months and are monitored closely.

41. Financial Risk Management (continued)
41.6 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.

The current liabilities amounting to €13.158.798 exceed current assets amounting to €11.490.258 by €1.668.540. This difference is
primarily a result of:
a) an amount of €1.075.176 registered as the total liability of the Group towards Tonescu Finance SRL for Secmon SRL loan
related to Monaco project for which Secmon SRL entered voluntarily insolvency status in order to be protected. The loan is
oversecured by the value of the assets of Secmon SRL (Note 42g) .
b) an aggregate amount of €2.859.151 registered as the total liability of the Group towards Bank of Piraeus in respect to the
Greenlake project for which the bank has agreed to prolong it up to 2022 and the Company is under negotiations with the
bank for the relevant prolongation terms.
c)
an amount of €1.916.392 representing payable to shareholders which were the advances received for the exercise of their
warrants. For such amount shares were issued in January 2018 and the liability was nullified (Note 42b).
d) on the other hand an amount of €4.230.000 representing loan received by the company which SPDI paid as an advace for
the Olympians portfolio acquisition is actually payable in 2019 given the non conversion of the loan into equity on behalf of
SPDI (Note 42 h).
Based on the above adjustments ((a), (b), (c), (d)), current assets are balanced with current liabilities being marginally lower by just
€47.821.
