The Board of Directors presents its report and unaudited financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together with the Company, the "Group") for the period from 1 April 2023 to 30 September 2023.
The principal activity of the Group is the holding of investment properties (commercial real estate assets primarily in the office sector in the United Kingdom and Switzerland) for long-term rental yields and for capital appreciation.
The Group's development to date, financial results and position as presented in the unaudited consolidated financial statements are considered satisfactory.
The principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Group are disclosed in notes 6 and 29 of the consolidated financial statements.
The invation of Russia in the Ukraine and the extensive financial and other sanctions imposed to Russia and the United Kindom's withdrawal from the European Union may potentially have a wide impact on the economies and especially on the immovable properly markets of the UK and Switzerland, the countries that the Group is operating in, which is difficult to predict.
Furthermore, the increasing energy prices, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, unease in stock market trading, rises in interest rates, supply chain disruptions and intensified inflationary pressures may indirectly impact the operations of the Group. The indirect implications will depend on the extent and duration of the crisis and remain uncertain. Also, the reduction in demand for office space in the UK and Switzerland may also have a negative impact on the Immovable property market in these countries.
This operating environment may have a significant impact on the Group's operations and financial position. Management is taking necessary measures to ensure sustainability of the Group's operations. However, the future effects of the current economic situation are difficult to predict and Management's current expectations and estimates could differ from actual results.
The Board of Directors does not expect any significant changes or developments in the operations, financial position and performance of the Group in the foreseeable future.
The Group is exposed to market price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk from the financial instruments it holds
The Group is exposed to debenture price risk because of investments held by the Group and classified on the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value through profit or loss. The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk.
The Group's debenture investments issued by two Russian banks that are traded in the Moscow Exchange are since the start of the war on 24 February 2022 not traded and are already in default of interest payments in the period under review. Both investments have been fully written off.
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. The Group is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its 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. The Company's Management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly.
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to meet an obligation. Credit risk arises from contractual cash flows of debt investments carried at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to tenants.
Credit risk is managed on a group basis. For banks and financial insitutions, the Group has established policies whereby the majority of bank balances are held with independently rated parties with a minimum rating of 'C'.
If tenants are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is no independent rating, Management assesses the credit quality of the tenant, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual credit limits and credit terms are set based on the credit quality of the tenant in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.
Liquidity risk is the risk that arises when the maturity of assets and liabilities does not match. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability, but can also increase the risk of losses. The Group has procedures with the object of minimising such losses such as maintaining sufficient cash and other highly liquid current assets and by having available an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.
During the period the Company's authorised capital was increased from 675.735.610 ordinary shares of nominal value of €1 each to 1.000.000.000 ordinary shares of nominal value of €1 each by creating 324.264.390 new ordinary shares of nominal value of €1 each. Issued capital
On 16 May 2023 the Company issued 76.521.902 new ordinary shares of €1 at the price of €1,0739 each (share premium €0,0739).
The members of the Group's Board of Directors as at 30 September 2023 and at the date of this report are presented on page 1. All of them were members of the Board of Directors throughout the period from 1 April 2023 to 30 September 2023.
In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association all Directors presently members of the Board continue in office.
There were no significant changes in the assignment of responsibilities and remuneration of the Board of Directors.
Disclosed in note 30 of the consolidated financial statements.
On 16 May 2023, the company through a shareholders' contribution, proceeded with the acquisition of the Cyprus company Medprestige Limited and the subsequent capitalisation of the non-refundable advances through the simultaneous issue and allotment of new shares to the shareholders, as per the relevant announcement issued by the company. It was observed however, after the issuance and allotment of the new shares, that the value of the new shares allotted to the shareholders was by UK Sterling 12.049.403 higher than intended. This fact created temporarily a debit balance in the shareholders' current account with the company of the same amount as at the date of these financial statements. On 30 November 2023, the shareholders deposited in the company's bank account an amount of Swiss Franc 29.750.000 and the debit balance in the shareholders' current account with the company was eliminated.
The Independent Auditors, Markos Drakos & Co Ltd, have expressed their willingness to continue in office and a resolution giving authority to the Board of Directors to fix their remuneration will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

The Company Easternmed Real Estate Capital plc (the "Company") was incorporated in Cyprus on 14 February 2019 as a private limited liability company under the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113. Its registered office is at Kyriakou Matsi 11, 8th floor, Nicosia, 1082, Cyprus.
The consolidated financial statements for the six months ended on 30 September 2023 and 30 September 2022 respectively, have not been audited by the external auditors of the Company.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union (EU), and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 1 13.
As of the date of the authorisation of the financial statements, all International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are effective as of I January 2023 and relevant to the Company have been adopted by the EU through the endorsement procedure established by the European Commission.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of, investment property, and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and requires Management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 6.
During the current period the Group adopted all the new and revised International Reporting Standards (IFRS) that are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting periods beginning on 1 April 2023. This adoption did not have a material effect on the accounting policies of the Group.
The consolidated financial statements, which are presented in United Kingdom Pounds, have been prepared in accordance with international Financial Reporting Standards, including IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting"
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are in accordance with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Costs that are incurred during the financial year are anticipated for interim reporting purposes if, and only if, it is also appropriate to anticipate or defer that type of cost at the end of the financial year.
Corporation tax is calculated based on the expected tax rates for the whole financial year.
These consolidated financial statements must be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
At the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, standards and interpretations were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board which were not yet effective. Some of them were adopted by the European Union and others not yet. The Board of Directors expects that the adoption of these accounting standards in future periods will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant isk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
When measuring expected credit losses the Group uses reasonable and supportable forward looking information, which is based on assumptions for the future movement of different economic drivers and how these drivers will affect each other.
Loss given default is an estimate of the loss arising on default. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, taking into account cash flows from collateral and integral credit enhancements.
Probability of default constitutes a key input in measuring ECL. Probability of default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon, the calculation of which includes historical data, assumptions and expectations of future conditions.
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 recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
The fair value of investment property is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each reporting date. The fair value of the investment property has been estimated based on the fair value of their individual assets.
The impairment test is performed using the discounted cash flows expected to be generated through the use of non-financial assets, using a discount rate that reflects the current market estimations and the risks associated with the asset. When it is impractical to estimate the recoverable amount of an asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit in which the asset belongs to.
Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash generating units of the Group on which the goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cashgenerating units using a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.
The Board of Directors assesses the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, and revises them if necessary so that the useful lives represent the expected utility of the assets to the Group. Actual results, however, may vary due to technological obsolescence, mis-usage and other factors that are not easily predictable.
The Group derives its revenue mainly from rental contracts with tenants.

The geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on 24 February 2022 with the commencement of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. As at the date of authorising these financial statements for issue, the conflict continues to evolve as military activity proceeds. In addition to the impact of the events on entitles that have operations in Russia, Ukraine, or Belarus or that conduct business with their counterparties, the conflict is increasingly affecting economies and financial markets globally and exacerbating ongoing economic challenges.
The European Union as well as United States of America, Switzerland, United Kingdom and other countries imposed a series of restrictive measures (sanctions) against the Russian and Belarussian government, various companies, and certain individuals. The sanctions imposed include an asset freeze and a prohibition from making funds available to the sanctioned individuals and entitles. In addition, travel bans applicable to the sanctioned individuals prevents them from entering or transiting through the relevant territories. The Republic of Cyprus, Switzerland and the UK have adopted the United Nations and European Union measures. The rapid deterioration of the conflict in Ukraine may as well lead to the possibility of further sanctions in the future.
Emerging uncertainty regarding global supply of commodities due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine conflict may also disrupt certain global trade flows and place significant upwards pressure on commodity prices and input costs as seen through early March 2022. Challenges for companies may include availability of funding to ensure access to raw materials, ability to finance margin payments and heightened risk of contractual non-performance.
The impact on the Group largely depends on the nature and duration of uncertain and unpredictable events, such as further military action, additional sanctions to ongoing developments by global financial markets.
The financial effect of the current crisis on the global economy and overall business activities cannot be estimated with reasonable certainty at this stage, due to the pace at which the conflict prevails and the high level of uncertainties arising from the inability to reliably predict the outcome.
The Group has no direct exposure to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus as the group owns no properties in these countries and none of its properties are rendered out to tenants from these countries. However, the company has invested in debentures issued by two Russian Banks which are, since the war started, not traded in the Moscow Stock Exchange and are in default for payment of interest to the debenture holders. The specific investments have already been fully impaired in the financial statements and have reduced the Group's profitability.
Furthermore, the increasing energy prices, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, unease in stock market trading, rises in interest rates, supply chain disruptions and intensified inflationary pressures may indirectly impact the operations of the Group. The indirect implications will depend on the extent and duration of the crisis and remain uncertain.
Management has considered the unique circumstances and the risk exposures of the Group and has concluded that there will be no further significant impact in the Group's profitability position. The event is not expected to have an immediate material impact on the business trading operations. Management will continue to monitor the situation closely and will assess the possible impact on the Group's activities in case the crisis becomes prolonged.

On 16 May 2023, the company through a shareholders' contribution, proceeded with the acquisition of the Cyprus company Medprestige Limited and the subsequent capitalisation of the non-refundable advances through the simultaneous issue and allotment of new shares to the shareholders, as per the relevant announcement issued by the company. It was observed however, after the issuance and allotment of the new shares, that the value of the new shares allotted to the shareholders was by UK Sterling 12.049.403 higher than intended.

On 30 November 2023, the shareholders deposited in the company's bank account an amount of Swiss Franc 29.750.000 and the debit balance in the shareholders' current account with the company was eliminated.
