The Board of Directors of Toriase Public Company Ltd presents its Management Report and unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the Company for the period from 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021.
Toriase Public Company Ltd (the "Company") is a public limited company and has its ordinary shares listed on the Emerging Companies Market of the Cyprus Stock Exchange. The Company was incorporated in Cyprus on 23 April 2018 as a limited liability Company under the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap 113. The Company registered address is 24 Pireos, 1st floor, flat/office 101, Strovolos, 2023, Nicosia, Cyprus.
The Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group") are involved in the commercial real estate sector, focusing on the ownership, management, improvement and selective acquisition and disposal of properties primarily in Germany and in the United Kingdom.
On 23 June 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the issued capital of a Luxembourg real estate group ("Lux Group") in a share for share transaction (See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements).
As the consolidated group results represent the continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary, the assets and liabilities of Lux Group have been recognized and measured in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements at their pre-combination carrying amounts. The assets and liabilities of the Company have been recognised and measured in accordance with IFRS 3. The retained earnings and other equity balances recognised are the retained earnings and other equity balances of Lux Group immediately before the business combination. The amount of issued equity includes the issued equity interest of the Lux Group immediately before the business combination plus the fair value of the Company.
Comparative information presented in the consolidated financial statements is retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital of the Company.
Other reserves represent the difference in carrying value between the additional issued shares of the Company and the share capital of Lux Group on the acquisition date.
Following the outbreak of the Coronavirus ("COVID-19"), the Group's operations remain resilient as it is not significant reliant on a supply chain of any sort. As of the date of the report, the Group did not identify a material impact from COVID-19 during the Reporting Period.

While total revenues remained stable in comparison to the first half year of 2020, the revenue mix has changed due to signing of new rental agreements (crystallizing the agreements that were signed subsequent to H1 2020) in German portfolio and by the COVID-19 impact on the Group's hotel operations (which were disposed in July 2021).
Net operating income - Net operating income margin improved from 86% in H1 2020 to 90% in H1 2021. The increase is the result of the Group's efforts to reduce operating expenses, improved revenue mix as well as currency impact.

The net gain of €42.0 million includes €9.1 million of valuation gains on the German commercial real estate portfolio as well as a profit of €34.0 million due to disposals in the period.

Toriase Public Company Ltd (the "Company") is a public limited company and has its ordinary shares listed on the Emerging Companies Market of the Cyprus Stock Exchange. The Company was incorporated in Cyprus on 23 April 2018 as a limited liability Company under the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap 113. The Company registered address is 24 Pireos, Strovolos, 2023, Nicosia, Cyprus.
The consolidated financial statements for the six months ended on 30 June 2021 and 2020 respectively, have not been audited by the external auditors of the Company.
On 23 June 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the issued capital of a Luxembourg real estate group ("Lux Group") in a share for share transaction.
Under IFRS the acquisition constituted a reverse acquisition of the Company by Lux Group. It would normally be necessary for the Group's consolidated financial statements to follow the legal form of the business combination, with Lux Group results consolidated into the Company's results from the date of the completion of the transaction 23 June 2021. In this case, the consolidated financial statements have been treated as being a continuation of the financial statements of Lux Group with the Company being treated as the acquired entity for accounting purposes.
As the consolidated group results represent the continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary, the assets and liabilities of Lux Group have been recognized and measured in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements at their pre-combination carrying amounts. The assets and liabilities of the Company have been recognised and measured in accordance with IFRS 3. The retained earnings and other equity balances recognised are the retained earnings and other equity balances of Lux Group immediately before the business combination. The amount of issued equity includes the issued equity interest of the Lux Group immediately before the business combination plus the fair value of the Company.
Comparative information presented in the consolidated financial statements is retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital of the Company.
Other reserves represent the difference in carrying value between the additional issued shares of the Company and the share capital of Lux Group on the acquisition date.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the "Financial Statements") as at 30 June 2021 (the "Report Date") and for the six-month period then ended (the "Reporting Period") have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union, and do not include all information required for full annual financial statements.
However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group`s financial position and performance since the last audited annual consolidated financial statements of Lux Group.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to exercise judgment when making assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Except as described below and as mentioned in Note 3A, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the principal assumptions used in the estimation of uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual financial statements of Lux Group.
These Financial Statements are presented in Euro, which is the Group's functional currency. All financial information presented in Euro (or "EUR") has been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated. Due to rounding, the figures reported in tables and cross-references may deviate from their exact values as calculated.
Except as described below in Item A, the accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its annual financial statements of Lux Group.
Presented hereunder is a description of the changes in accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements and their effect:

Effects | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (1) | Amendment to IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets |
According to the Amendment, when assessing whether a contract is onerous, the costs of complying with a contract that should be taken into consideration are costs that relate directly to the contract, which include as follows: - Incremental costs; and - An allocation of other costs that relate directly to complying with a contract (such as depreciation expenses for fixed assets used in fulfilling that contract and other contracts). |
The Amendment is effective retrospectively as from January 1, 2022, in respect of contracts where the entity has not yet fulfilled all its obligations. Early application is permitted. Upon application of the Amendment, the entity will not restate comparative data, but will adjust the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial application, by the amount of the cumulative effect of the Amendment. |
Application of the Amendments is not expected to have a material effect on the Group's financial statements. |
||
| (2) | Amendment to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment |
The Amendment annuls the requirement by which in the calculation of costs directly attributable to fixed assets, the net proceeds from selling certain items that were produced while the Company tested the functioning of the asset should be deducted (such as samples that were produced when testing the equipment). Instead, the proceeds from selling the items and the cost of the sold items shall be recognized in profit or loss. |
The Amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. Early application is permitted. The Amendment shall be applied on a retrospective basis, including an amendment of comparative data, only with respect to fixed asset items that have been brought to the location and condition required for them to operate in the manner intended by management subsequent to the earliest reporting period presented at the date of initial application of the Amendment. The cumulative effect of the Amendment will adjust the opening balance of retained earnings for the earliest reporting period presented. |
Application of the Amendments is not expected to have a material effect on the Group's financial statements. |

* The investment property table for Germany contains two properties in another EU jurisdiction.
The Group values its investment properties through engaging external independent appraisers, using the discounted cash flows method ("DCF"), and the residual value method. Under the DCF methodology the expected future income and costs of the property are forecasted over a period of 10 years and discounted to the date of valuation, by using a discount rate that is suitable in the appraisers' and Group management's view to the specific property location and category, specific characteristics and inherent risk as well as the prevailing market conditions as at the Report Date.
The Residual value method uses the present value of the market value expected to be achieved in the future from the property once it is developed less estimated cost to complete. The rental levels are set at the current market levels capitalized at the net yield which reflects the risks inherent in the net cash flows.
The Group's investment property has been categorized as level 3 fair value based on the input to the valuation technique used and was determined considering the highest and best use measurement approach accordingly.
During the reporting period the Group completed the sale of subsidiaries. As a result of the sale, the Group has no interest left in these subsidiaries. The consideration for the sale of the shares was settled in cash and financial instruments.
As a result of the loss of control, the Group recognized a profit from loss of control in the amount of EUR 32 million which was recognized under Profit on disposal of investment property.
These subsidiaries were already recognized under Assets and Liabilities of disposal groups classified as heldfor-sale, as at 31 December 2020.

The Group also de-recognized Non-Controlling Interest of EUR 50.6 million.
The Company expects to sell non-core properties being held by subsidiaries of the Group within the next 12 months. The Group has initiated selling activities and is in advanced negotiations with potential buyers. The Company classified the investment properties with fair value of EUR 70 million as Assets Held for Sale.
During the Reporting Period there were no new loans and borrowings.
During the reporting period the Group repaid EUR 76 million of secured loans.
As part of the bank loans received by the Group, the Group companies have undertaken to maintain certain financial ratios, inter-alia, LTV ratios, debt service coverage ratio, interest coverage ratios, NOI Debt Yield minimum and loan to annual rent ratio. As at 30 June 2021, the Group is fully compliant with all covenant requirements on all EUR denominated loans.
The Group obtained a covenant waiver for certain loan facilities in the UK from the Lenders, the waiver being subject to certain conditions imposed to protect the Issuer's position. The closure of hotels during the lockdown in the UK has impacted the operational metrics used for covenant testing purposes but has not impacted rental income due to the Group, which continued to be paid. The waiver was granted in connection with COVID-19
and the resulting temporary closure of certain of the hotels, to enable the Group to manage its business without breaching any obligations under the loan agreement. The covenant waiver was for a period up to but excluding the interest payment date falling on 13 July 2021. During the reporting period the group obtained an extension for a period up to but excluding the interest payment date falling on 13 July 2022.
On 31 December 2020 a subsidiary of the Group entered into a sale and lease back agreement for one of its hotels' freehold rights in London. The underlying lease is for 200 years with a buy back option in the end of the lease for 1 pound and a lease payment of GBP 1.2 million per annum. The transaction was completed on 2 February 2021. Total net proceeds from the transaction amount to GBP 52 million (EUR 59 million) after depositing the first two years of rent (gross proceeds of GBP 54.3 million).
The Group has two reportable segments - as described below, which form the Group's strategic business units. The allocation of resources and evaluation of performance are managed separately for each business unit because they have different asset class and different geography, hence exposed to different risks and required yields.
For each of the business units, the Group's chief operating decision maker (CODM) reviews management reports on at least a quarterly basis for:
Properties located in Germany
Properties located in the United Kingdom
Commercial properties in Germany include predominately office asset class (84% of the total fair value of the German portfolio as of the Report Date). The other asset class in Germany include hotels, residential and retail investment property. None of these segments meets any of the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments during the Reporting period.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as described in Note 3 regarding significant accounting policies presented above. Performance is measured based on segment operating profit as included in reports that are regularly reviewed by the CODM. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the segments' results. Segment results reported to the CODM including items directly attributable to a segment on a reasonable basis. Financial expenses, financial income and taxes on income are managed on a group basis and, therefore, were not allocated to the different segment activities. Segment assets comprise mainly investment property, cash and equivalents and operating receivables whereas segment liabilities comprise mainly borrowings and operating payables.
