Review of developments, position and performance of the Group's and Company's business

3 The net profit of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2015 amounted to €739.315 (2014: net loss of €1.449.230). On 31 December 2015 the total assets of the Group were €347.875.160 (2014: €349.358.368) and the net assets were €269.971.533 (2014: €272.178.032).

The financial position, development and performance of the Company and Group as presented in these financial statements was as expected.

Principal risks and uncertainties

4 The activities of the Company and the Group are influenced by various risks and uncertainties related to the construction and tourist industries. These activities are influenced by a number of factors which include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • The operating environment of Cyprus (Notes 1 and 2).
  • National and international economic and geopolitical factors.
  • The global financial crisis which affected the tourism, the construction industry and real estate sector.
  • The impact of war, terrorist acts, diseases and epidemics which may impact tourists' arrivals on the island.
  • Increased competition within Cyprus and the neighbouring countries.
  • Increases in labour and energy costs.

5 The Group monitors these risks through various mechanisms and revises its strategy in order to mitigate, to the extent this is possible, the impact of such risks.

6 The principal financial risks and uncertainties faced by the Company and the Group are outlined in Notes 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the financial statements.

Expected development of the Company and the Group

7 The Board of Directors does not expect any other significant changes in the operations of the Company and the Group except of the developments described in "Review of developments, position and performance of the Group's and the Company's business.

Report of the Board of Directors (continued)

Results

8 The Group's results for the year are set out on pages 10 and 11 and the respective results of the Company are presented on page 12. The net profit of the Group and the net loss of the Company for the year are transferred to retained earnings.

9 The final results of the Group for 2015 amounted to a profit of €739.315 while the indicative results for the year as announced on 26 February 2016 amounted to a profit of €736.000. The difference of €3.315 is mainly due to a difference in the final results of the subsidiary CCCT and the associated company, Vassiliko Cement Works Public Company Limited.

Share capital

10 There were no changes in the share capital of the Company during the year.

Board of Directors

11 The members of the Board of Directors at 31 December 2015 and at the date of this report are shown on page 1. All of them were members of the Board throughout the year 2015.

12 There were no significant changes in the assignment of responsibilities and remuneration of the Board of Directors.

Corporate Governance Code

13 The Board of Directors has not adopted the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code. The Company is not obliged to adopt the provisions of the Code as its titles are traded in the Alternative Market of the Cyprus Stock Exchange. The main reason for the non adoption of the Corporate Governance Code is that the Board of Directors expects that the costs to be incurred for the adoption of the Corporate Governance Code would be disproportionately higher than any anticipated benefits that may be derived from its adoption.

14 The Board of Directors is responsible for the establishment of adequate internal control procedures and risks control mechanisms, for the drafting, preparation, content and publication of all periodical information that is required of listed companies. The responsible person for the preparation of the financial statements is the Financial Controller.

15 The Board of Directors has not established an Audit Committee pursuant to the requirements of the Auditors and Statutory Audits of Annual and Consolidated Accounts Laws of 2009 and 2013. According to Article 46 of the Laws, the Company has assigned the tasks of the Audit Committee to the Board of Directors as a body.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Cyprus Cement Public Company Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries collectively referred to as the "Group", and the separate financial statements of the Company, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet and the balance sheet of the Company as at 31 December 2015, and the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated and separate financial statements of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated and separate financial statements of the Company are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated and separate financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated and separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of the consolidated and separate financial statements of the Company that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated and separate financial statements of the Company.

Notes to the financial statements

1 General information

Country of incorporation

The Cyprus Cement Public Company Limited (the "Company") was incorporated in Cyprus in 1951, as a private limited liability company in accordance with the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113 and later became a public company. The Company is listed on the Cyprus Stock Exchange. The registered office of the Company is at 197 Μakariou ΙΙΙ Avenue, Gala Tower, CY-3030 Limassol, Cyprus.

Principal activities

The principal activities of the Group, are the development/exploitation of land and the undertaking of strategic investments in companies operating in hotel and tourism industry and in the manufacturing and sale of cement and related business.

Operating environment of the Group and the Company

Following three years of economic recession, the Cyprus economy has recorded positive growth in the first half of 2015. As from April 2015, the restrictive measures and capital controls which were in place since March 2013 have been lifted. In recognition of the progress achieved on the fiscal front and the economic recovery, as well as the enactment of the foreclosure and insolvency framework, the international credit rating agencies have upgraded the credit ratings for the Cypriot sovereign, however the rating continues to be "non-investment grade". At the same time there are some major downside risks emanating from the high level of non-performing loans in the banking sector and the limited availability of credit.

This operating environment, could affect (1) the ability of the Company/ the Group to obtain new borrowings or re-finance its existing borrowings at terms and conditions similar to those applied to earlier transactions, (2) the ability of the Company's/ Group's trade and other debtors to repay the amounts due to the Company/ the Group (3) the cash flow forecasts of the Company's/ Group's management in relation to the impairment assessment for financial and non-financial assets.

1 General information (continued)

Operating environment of the Group and the Company (continued)

The management of the Company and the Group has assessed:

  • (1) Whether any impairment allowances are deemed necessary for the financial assets carried at amortized cost by considering the economic situation and outlook at the end of the reporting period. Impairment of trade and other receivables is determined using the "incurred loss" model required by International Accounting Standard 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement". This standard requires recognition of impairment losses for receivables that arose from past events and prohibits recognition of impairment losses that could arise from future events, no matter how likely those future events are.
  • (2) The fair value of investment property owned (Note 4).
  • (3) The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern (Note 2).

The Group's and the Company's Board of Directors is unable to predict all developments which could have an impact on the Cyprus economy and consequently, what effect, if any, they could have on the future financial performance, cash flows and financial position of the Group and the Company.

On the basis of the evaluation performed, the Group's and the Company's management has concluded that no provisions or impairment charges, other than as disclosed in the financial statements, are deemed necessary.

The Group's and the Company's management believes that it is taking all the necessary measures to maintain the viability of the Group and the Company and the development of its business in the current business and economic environment.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented in these financial statements unless otherwise stated.

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of The Cyprus Cement Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") and the separate financial statements of the Company 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. 113.

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 1 January 2015 have been adopted by the EU through the endorsement procedure established by the European Commission, with the exception of certain provisions of IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" relating to portfolio hedge accounting.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Basis of preparation (continued)

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation in fair value of land and buildings, investment property and available-for-sale financial assets.

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 Company's and 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 4.

Going concern

During the year ended 31 December 2015, the Group incurred a profit of €739.315 (2014: loss of €1.449.230) and as at 31 December 2015, its current liabilities exceeded its current assets by €612.415 (2014: €2.518.054). The availability and accessibility of liquid assets (cash) that will allow the Group to repay its liabilities promptly are important factors in the assessment of the Group to apply the going concern basis for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

The financial conditions described in Note 1, could have adverse impact on the valuation of the Group's property, on its ability to secure adequate liquidity or financing, and on the revenue due to a potential decrease in demand for products and services offered by the Group due to reduced consumer purchasing power. The deterioration in operating conditions could also have an impact on the cash flow forecasts of the Group's management and their assessment for the impairment of financial and non-financial assets.

The consolidated and separate financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which provides the realization of assets and fulfilment of liabilities in the normal course of business. Therefore, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of assets and the amount and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that may be necessary.

The Board of Directors of the Company believes that the preparation of these consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements on a going concern basis is appropriate for the following reasons:

  • (i) The Group was able to raise the necessary liquidity to fund its operations for at least 12 months from the balance sheet date from financial institutions. Additionally, based on a valuation conducted during the year ended 31 December 2015, the market value of the immovable property exceeds significantly the levels of the Group's borrowings and the Group's management believes that it will be able to ensure additional liquidity in the future, if necessary.
  • (ii) During 2014, the subsidiary C.C.C. Tourist Enterprises Public Company Limited reached an agreement, according to which its investment in L' Union would be restructured as disclosed in Note 21. Further to the reorganization and renovation of the Le Meridien Limassol Spa and Resort (owned by L' Union), it is expected that the Group's liquidity will improve.
  • (iii) During 2015, the Group has agreed with financial institutions for the rescheduling of bank loans (Note 26).

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Adoption of new and revised IFRSs

During the current year the Company/ the Group 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 2015. This adoption did not have a material effect on the accounting policies of the Company/ the Group.

At the date of approval of these financial statements a number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Company/ the Group, except the following set out below:

  • Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012 (issued in December 2013 and effective from the commencement date of its first financial year starting on or after 1 February 2015). The improvements consist of changes to seven standards. IFRS 2 was amended to clarify the definition of a 'vesting condition' and to define separately 'performance condition' and 'service condition'; The amendment is effective for share-based payment transactions for which the grant date is on or after 1 July 2014.IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that (1) an obligation to pay contingent consideration which meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as a financial liability or as equity, on the basis of the definitions in IAS 32, and (2) all non-equity contingent consideration, both financial and non-financial, is measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognised in profit and loss. Amendments to IFRS 3 are effective for business combinations where the acquisition date is on or after 1 July 2014. IFRS 8 was amended to require (1) disclosure of the judgements made by management in aggregating operating segments, including a description of the segments which have been aggregated and the economic indicators which have been assessed in determining that the aggregated segments share similar economic characteristics, and (2) a reconciliation of segment assets to the entity's assets when segment assets are reported. The basis for conclusions on IFRS 13 was amended to clarify that deletion of certain paragraphs in IAS 39 upon publishing of IFRS 13 was not made with an intention to remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables at invoice amount where the impact of discounting is immaterial. IAS 16 and IAS 38 were amended to clarify how the gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation are treated where an entity uses the revaluation model. IAS 24 was amended to include, as a related party, an entity that provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity ('the management entity'), and to require to disclose the amounts charged to the reporting entity by the management entity for services provided.
  • Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014 (issued on 25 September 2014 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016). The amendments impact 4 standards. IFRS 5 was amended to clarify that change in the manner of disposal (reclassification from "held for sale" to "held for distribution" or vice versa) does not constitute a change to a plan of sale ore distribution, and does not have to be accounted for as such. The amendment to IFRS 7 adds guidance to help management determine whether the terms of an arrangement to service a financial asset which has been transferred constitute continuing involvement, for the purposes of disclosures required by IFRS 7. The amendment also clarifies that the offsetting disclosures of IFRS 7 are not specifically required for all interim periods, unless required by IAS 34.The amendment to IAS 19 clarifies that for post-employment benefit obligations, the decisions regarding discount rate, existence of deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, or which government bonds to use as a basis, should be based on the currency that the liabilities are denominated in, and not the country where they arise. IAS 34 will require a cross reference from the interim financial statements to the location of "information disclosed elsewhere in the interim financial report".

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Adoption of new and revised IFRSs (continued)

  • IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement" (issued in July 2014 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). Key features of the new standard are:
  • (i) Financial assets are required to be classified into three measurement categories: those to be measured subsequently at amortised cost, those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).
  • (ii) Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair value. However, management can make an irrevocable election to present changes in fair value in other comprehensive income, provided the instrument is not held for trading. If the equity instrument is held for trading, changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss.
  • (iii) Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The key change is that an entity will be required to present the effects of changes in own credit risk of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss in other comprehensive income.
  • (iv) IFRS 9 introduces a new model for the recognition of impairment losses the expected credit losses (ECL) model. There is a 'three stage' approach which is based on the change in credit quality of financial assets since initial recognition. In practice, the new rules mean that entities will have to record an immediate loss equal to the 12-month ECL on initial recognition of financial assets that are not credit impaired (or lifetime ECL for trade receivables). Where there has been a significant increase in credit risk, impairment is measured using lifetime ECL rather than 12-month ECL. The model includes operational simplifications for lease and trade receivables.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Adoption of new and revised IFRSs (continued)

  • Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements Amendments to IAS 27 (issued on 12 August 2014 and effective for annual periods beginning 1 January 2016). The amendments will allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements.
  • Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 (issued on 11 September 2014 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. These amendments address an inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28 in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves a business. A partial gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are held by a subsidiary.
  • Disclosure Initiative Amendments to IAS 1 (issued in December 2014 and effective for annual periods on or after 1 January 2016). The Standard was amended to clarify the concept of materiality and explain that an entity need not provide a specific disclosure required by an IFRS if the information resulting from that disclosure is not material, even if the IFRS contains a list of specific requirements or describes them as minimum requirements. The Standard also provides new guidance on subtotals in financial statements, in particular, such subtotals (a) should be comprised of line items made up of amounts recognised and measured in accordance with IFRS; (b) be presented and labelled in a manner that makes the line items that constitute the subtotal clear and understandable; (c) be consistent from period to period; and (d) not be displayed with more prominence than the subtotals and totals required by IFRS.

The Company and the Group are currently assessing the impact of the above amendments on its financial statements.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of The Cyprus Cement Public Company Limited (the "Company"), its subsidiary companies, which are collectively referred to as the "Group".

(1) 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 to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the following;

  • fair values of the assets transferred
  • liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business
  • equity interests issued by the Group
  • fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement
  • fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquired entity's net identifiable assets.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity and the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity at the acquisition date over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the carrying value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.

Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Profit and losses resulting from inter-company transactions that are recognised in assets are also eliminated. When necessary, accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated balance sheet.

When the Group ceases to have control over an entity, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised 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 recognised 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 recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

(2) Transactions with non-controlling interests

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of the Group. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between 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.

(3) Investments in associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost. The Group's investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition net of any accumulated impairment losses.

Dividends received or receivable from associate are recognised as a reduction in carrying amount of the investment.

If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Consolidated financial statements (continued)

(3) Investments in associates (continued)

The Group's share of post-acquisition profits or losses of associates is recognised in the income statement and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary, to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. Dilution gains and losses arising in investments in associates are recognised in profit or loss.

After application of the equity method, including recognising the associates' losses, the carrying amount of the investment in associate which includes the goodwill arising on acquisition is tested for impairment by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount whenever there is an indication of impairment and recognizes the amount adjacent to 'share of profit/(loss)' of associates in the profit or loss.

The Group ceases to equity account from the date that it loses significant influence over the associate or from the date the investment is classified as held for sale.

When the group ceases to exercise significant influence over an associate, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value. In addition, the Group recognizes in profit or loss any difference between (i) the fair value of the retained interest and any income from the sale of the share in the associate and (ii) the carrying amount of the investment on the date that the Group lost significant influence over the associate.

When an entity ceases to be recognised as an associate and it is afterwards recognised as a financial asset in accordance with IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement", the fair value of the retained interest in the associate is considered to be the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition.

Any gain or loss previously recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, in respect of the investment in the associate, is transferred to the profit or loss on the date the Group loses significant influence over the associate.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Separate financial statements of the Company

(1) Investments in subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company 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.

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment. Investments in subsidiaries are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised through profit or loss 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. An impairment loss recognised in prior years is reversed where appropriate if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

(2) Investments in associates

Associates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights.

Investments in associates are measured at cost less impairment. Investments in associates are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised through profit or loss 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. An impairment loss recognised in prior years is reversed where appropriate if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Board of Directors of the Group (the chief operating decision-maker). The Board of Directors, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the steering committee that makes strategic decisions.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group's and Company's activities, net of value added taxes, returns and discounts.

The Group and the Company recognise revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group's and Company's activities as described below. The Company and the Group base their estimate of return on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement. Revenues earned by the Group and the Company are recognised on the following bases:

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Revenue recognition (continued)

(i) Sales of services

Sales of services are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, by reference to stage of completion of the specific transaction and assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided.

(ii) Interest income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a loan or receivable is impaired, the Company/Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans and receivables are recognised using the original effective interest rate.

(iii) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the right of the Company/Group to receive payment is established. However the investment may need to be tested for impairment as a consequence.

Employee benefits

Social insurance contributions

The Group and the employees contribute to the Government Social Insurance Fund based on employees' salaries. The scheme is funded by payments from employees and by the Group. The Group's contributions are expensed as incurred and are included in staff costs. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the Group's and Company's financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group and Company operate ("the functional currency"). The financial statements are presented in Euro (€), which is the Group's and Company's functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in profit or loss within "finance costs". All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within "other (losses )/gains – net".

Current and deferred income tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

The current income tax is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the country in which the Company/ the Group operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. If applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation, it establishes provision where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Current and deferred income tax (continued)

Deferred income tax is recognised using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

The deferred tax liability in relation to investment property that is measured at fair value is determined assuming the property will be recovered entirely through sale.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the Company/ the Group where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Group's shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Groiup's financial statements in the year in which the dividends are appropriately authorised and are no longer at the discretion of the Group. More specifically, interim dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which these are authorised by the Board of Directors and in the case of final dividends, these are recognised in the period in which these are approved by the Group's shareholders.

Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use (including the loss of control of a subsidiary holding the assets), within twelve from the reporting date. These assets can be part of an entity, a group of assets held for sale or a non-current asset.

Assets are classified as 'held for sale' when all the following conditions are met: (a) assets must be available for immediate sale in its present condition, (b) the management of the Group has approved and initiated an active programme to locate a buyer (c) assets must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value (d) the sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year and (e) it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as 'held for sale' in the current period balance sheet are not reclassified in the are not reclassified in the prior period balance sheet to reflect current period's classification.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Non-current Assets held for sale and discontinued operations (continued)

A disposal group is a group of assets (current or non-current) to be disposed of, by sale or otherwise, together as a group in a single transaction, and liabilities directly associated with those assets that will be transferred in the transaction. The Group includes goodwill if the disposal group includes an operation within the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated at the acquisition.

Disposal groups are measured in total at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Liabilities directly related to the disposal group which will be transferred during the sale are reclassified and presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet.

A discontinued operation is a component of the disposal group (cash generating unit) that has either been disposed of, or classified as held for sale, and (a) represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operation, (b) is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a major line of business or geographical area of operation or (c) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Profit or loss and cash flows of discontinued operations are presented separately from continuing operations and corresponding amounts of prior period are re-presented in order to evaluate the financial impact of the discontinued operations.

Property, plant and equipment

Land and buildings, are shown at fair value, based on periodic valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Revaluations are carried out with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount at the balance sheet date does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the balance sheet date. All other property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are recognised in other comprehensive income and credited to other reserves in shareholders' equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against other reserves directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to profit or loss. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to profit or loss and depreciation based on the asset's original cost is transferred from "fair value reserves" to "retained earnings".

Buildings and equipment developed on leased land are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives and the lease period.

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts to their residual values, over their estimated useful lives. The annual depreciation rates are as follows:

25 to 50 years
10 to 20 years
5 to 8 years
3 to 20 years
4 years

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Property, plant and equipment (continued)

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Expenditure for repairs and maintenance of property, plant and equipment is charged to profit or loss of the year in which they were incurred. The cost of major renovations and other subsequent expenditure are included in the carrying amount of the asset or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group/Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are recognised in "other (losses)/gains – net" in profit or loss.

When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the other reserves are transferred to retained earnings.

Leases

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Company/the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases.

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Investment property

Investment property, principally comprising land, is held for capital appreciation. Investment property is carried at fair value, representing open market value.

Goodwill

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of businesses, and represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the Group's interest in the fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment is recognised immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of non financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life, including goodwill, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised 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). Non-financial assets, other than goodwill, that have suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

Financial assets

(i) Classification

The Company and the Group classify their financial assets in the following categories: available for sale financial assets and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and for which there is no intention of trading the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than twelve months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as noncurrent assets. The Company's/Group's loans and receivables comprise "trade and other receivables" and "cash and bank balances" in the balance sheet.

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 balance sheet date.

(ii) Recognition and measurement

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date which is the date on which the Group and the Company commit to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group and the Company have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Available for sale financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial assets (continued)

(ii) Recognition and measurement (continued)

Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available-for-sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. The translation differences on monetary securities are recognised in profit or loss, while translation differences on non monetary securities are recognised in other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of monetary and non monetary securities classified as available for sale are recognised in other comprehensive income.

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 as part of other income. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss as part of other income when the Company's/Group's right to receive payments is established.

(iii) Impairment of financial assets

The Group and the Company assess at the balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the profit or loss. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Company/the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument's fair value using an observable market price.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor's credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial assets (continued)

(iii) Impairment of financial assets (continued)

In the case of equity investments classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is also evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – 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. Impairment losses recognised in the profit or loss on equity instruments are not reversed through the profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the profit or loss.

Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company/Group or the counterparty.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company/the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount, being the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited in profit or loss.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Share premium is the difference between the fair value of the consideration receivable for the issue of shares and the nominal value of the shares. Share premium account can only be resorted to for limited purposes, which do not include the distribution of dividends, and is otherwise subject to the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law on reduction of share capital.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group and the Company have a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised 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 capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised 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 extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment (for liquidity services) and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.

Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that the Group/Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds, including interest on borrowings, amortisation of discounts or premium relating to borrowings, amortisation 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.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Borrowings (continued)

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 Company and the costs can be measured reliably.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities, unless the Group and the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.

Trade payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Cash and cash equivalents

In the statement of cashflows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the balance sheet bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

3 Financial risk management

(i) Financial risk factors

The Company's and Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including cash flow interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance. Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors.

Market risk

Cash flow interest rate risk

The Group and the Company have interest bearing assets, which mainly represent cash held at bank. These balances bear interest at market variable rates. Any changes in market rates would not have significant effect on the profit/loss for the year.

The Group's and Company's interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Company and the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Board of Directors monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly.

Market risk (continued)

Cash flow interest rate risk (continued)

At 31 December 2015 and 2014, if interest rates on Euro denominated borrowings fluctuated as described below, with all other variables held constant, the post tax profit/loss for the year would have been affected as presented in the table below:

The Group The Company
Interest rate

0,5 €80.583
higher/lower
2014
Euro
0,5 €99.842
higher/lower
0,5 €64.395
higher/lower

The effect on profit/ loss for the year is a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.

For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties are accepted. See Note 15 for further disclosures on credit risk.

The Board of Directors does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties.

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. The Board of Directors maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.

The Board of Directors monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's and Group's liquidity reserve (comprises undrawn borrowing facility (Note 26) and cash and cash equivalents (Note 24) on the basis of expected cash flow.

The table below analyses the Group's and the Company's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months (with the exception of borrowings) equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

The liquidity risk arising from corporate guarantees for related parties is disclosed in Note 31 (vii) and in the event of default, the minimum period which they can be called for repayment is within one year.

(ii) Capital risk management

The Company's/Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's/Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders of the Company/Group and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

3 Financial risk management (continued)

(ii) Capital risk management (continued)

Consistent with others in the industry, the Company/the Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including 'current and non-current borrowings' as shown in the balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as 'equity' as shown in the balance sheet plus net debt.

The gearing ratios at 31 December 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

(iii) Fair value estimation

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

  • Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1).
  • Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2).
  • Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

The carrying value less provision for impairment of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate available to the Company / the Group for similar financial instruments.

(iv) Offsetting financial assets and liabilities

The Group and the Company do not have any financial assets or financial liabilities that are subject to offsetting, enforceable master netting arrangements or any similar agreements.

4 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements 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.

(i) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Company/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.

Fair value of investment property

The fair value of the investment property is based on observable comparable information, including expected selling prices. Where observable comparable information are not available, the fair values are determined by independent professional qualified valuers who hold a recognised relevant professional qualification and have recent experience in the locations and segments of the investment properties valued.

The valuations of the investment properties performed by professional qualified valuers were based on valuation techniques which incorporate comparable prices, where available, adjusted to reflect the uniqueness of the properties and their specific physical characteristics.

The fair value of investment property is based on valuations carried out by external, independent professional valuers, who hold recognised and relevant professional qualifications, and have relevant experience of the location and segment of the investment property being valued. The estimates were based primarily on comparable sale prices from recent transactions for similar assets adjusted to reflect the special nature and the uniqueness of the investment property and its urban planning characteristics.

The key assumptions used for estimating the fair value of investment property include:

  • Implementation of the provisions of the Local Development Plan and the provision of the increased building coefficient for the development of largescale properties.
  • Estimates for the net buildable square meters for the implementation of infrastructure works.

For investment properties (land for development) of the Group which are not valued by external valuators or there are no available observable comparable information, the management of the Group estimates the fair value based on discounted cash flows which incorporate the proposed development plan of the land as this was set by the Group.

The key assumptions used by the management of the Group for estimating the fair value based on discounted cash flows include:

  • Average selling price of residential units
  • Sales velocity of residential units
  • Average cost of construction of residential units
  • Discount factor.

4 Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)

(i) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (continued)

Fair value of investment property

The economic crisis and the uncertain economic conditions had a significant impact on the real estate sector. The unavailability of financing and the instability of the market, and hence the unavailability of adequate comparable sales, combined with other unpredictable economic, political and legal factors, have impacted the degree of accuracy of property valuations. Therefore, the management considers that the valuation of investment property is subject to significant critical judgment and there is a high likelihood that the value of the property may be lower.

Any negative changes in the above key assumptions would lead to a significant decrease in the fair value of the investment property (Note 17).

Fair value of "call option"

Based on the agreement signed on 30 September 2014 with the Investor as described in Note 21, the subsidiary CCCT has a call option to request L' Union to issue exclusively shares only to CCCT so that is obtains 50% of the shares in L' Union. The option can be exercised after three years but before the end of six years from the date of the reorganisation (i.e. from 30 September 2017 to 30 September 2020). If the option is exercised the shares will be issued on the fair value as determined by an independent party. The value of the call option has not been recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements as the Board of Director's considers its value to be insignificant.

Fair value of available-for-sale financial assets

The fair value of available-for-sale financial assets which are not traded in an active market, is determined using valuation techniques. The Group exercises its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date . The fair value of available-for-sale financial assets is calculated using the method of discounted cash flows.

The Group has to make assumptions when estimating future cash flows. These assumptions are based on historical trends and future expectations . Although the management believes that the assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the investment are reasonable and appropriate, these can be highly subjective.

4 Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)

(i) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (continued)

Reclassification of investment in associate to available-for-sale financial asset

An investment in associate is reclassified to available-for-sale financial assets as a result of the Group losing significant influence over the entity's decisions in respect of the entity's financial and corporate policy.

On 01 January 2015, the Board of Directors of the Group has decided to reclassify the investment in L'Union Nationale (Tourism & Sea Resorts) from "Investments accounted for using the equity method" to "Available-for-sale financial assets". The Board of Directors of the Group believes that this classification better reflects the economic substance in accordance with the degree of influence the Group has over the financial and corporate decisions made by L'Union Nationale (Tourism & Sea Resorts).

The decision in respect of the reclassification of the investment and the timing of the reclassification, requires significant judgement in different factors, indications and circumstantces, as these are described in IAS 28 "Investments in associates", in order to define whether the Group is in position to exercise significant influence over L'Union Nationale (Tourism & Sea Resorts).

5 Segment information

As per management approach in relation to IFRS 8, the operating segments are presented in accordance with the internal reporting provided to the Board of Directors (the chief operating decision-maker), which is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segment. All operating segments used by the Group meet the definition of a reportable segment as per IFRS 8.

The basic operating segments of the Group for which segment information is presented are as follows:

  • (1) Investment property
  • (2) Hotel and tourism strategic investment in L' Union
  • (3) Cement strategic investment in Vassiliko Cement Work Public Company Limited

The segment "other" activities of the Group relates mainly to secretarial and management services provided to related companies of the Group.

The Board of Directors of the Group assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA). This measurement basis excludes the effects of non-recurring expenditure from the operating segments such as restructuring costs and impairments when the impairment is the result of an isolated, non-recurring event. Interest income and expenditure are not allocated to segments. Other information presented, is accounted as per the financial statements.

The segment information provided to the management of the Group for the reportable segments is as follows:

The Company and the Group are subject to income tax on taxable profits at the rate of 12,5%.

As from tax year 2012 brought forward losses of only five years may be utilised. From 1 January 2009 onwards, under certain conditions, interest may be exempt from income tax and be subject only to special contribution for defence at the rate of 10%; increased to 15% as from 31 August 2011, and to 30% as from 29 April 2013.

12 Taxation (continued)

In certain cases dividends received from abroad may be subject to special contribution for defence at the rate of 15%; increased to 17% as from 31 August 2011; increased to 20% as from 1 January 2012; reduced to 17% as from 1 January 2014. In certain cases dividends received from 1 January 2012 onwards from other Cyprus tax resident companies may also be subject to special contribution for defence.

======== ========= =========

The Company's/Group's investment property is measured at fair value. The Company/Group holds only one class of investment property being land in Cyprus.

Valuation process

The Company's/ Group's investment properties were valued at 31 December 2014 by independent professionally qualified valuers who hold a recognised relevant professional qualification and have recent experience in the locations and segments of the investment properties valued. For all investment properties, their current use equates to the highest and best use. The investment properties were valued by an independent valuer based on the comparable method of valuation.

The comparable prices used for the determination of the fair value of the property at 31 December 2014 were adjusted to reflect the physical characteristics and urban data of the property (planning zones and building coefficient) as well as the market and financial trends and the prospects of the property.

Due to the current status of the Cyprus real estate industry and lack of adequate observable comparable, the valuation of the investment properties has been classified as level 3 on 31 December 2014.

The Group's finance department includes a team that review the valuations performed by the independent valuers for financial reporting purposes. This team reports directly to the chief financial officer (CFO) and the Board of Directors. At the financial year end the finance department:

  • verifies all major inputs to the independent valuation report,
  • assesses property valuation movements when compared to the prior year valuation report; and
  • holds discussions with the independent valuer.

The Group's investment properties were valued at 31 December 2015 by the Group's management who holds relevant qualifications, knowledge and recent experience necessary for the valuation of the investment properties held by the Group.

17 Investment property (continued)

Valuation process (continued)

The Group's management estimates that the fair value of the investment properties of €269.471.256 on 31 December 2015, has not changed significantly from the fair value estimation on 31 December 2014, as this is described above. The valuation of the Group's management is based on the discounted cash flows which incorporate the proposed development plan of the land as this was set by the Group.

The key assumptions used by the management of the Group for estimating the fair value include:

- Average selling price of residential
units
€7.650 per s.m.
- Sales velocity of residential
units
12 years (87 annual sales)
- Average cost of construction of residential
units
€2.000 per s.m.
- Discount factor. 12,00%

Additionally, the management's valuations for the fair value of a Group's investment property of €550.000 on 31 December 2015 were based on the expected selling price as this is described in Note 32. As a result, the Group recognised a fair value loss of €505.000 in 2015 as a result of the difference between the carrying amount of the investment property and the fair value as this has been valued by the Group's management (Note 6).

The management's valuations or the fair value of the Group's/ the Company's investment properties of €836.950, were mainly based on valuation techniques which incorporate the fair values as these were determined by the Department of Land and Surveys and adjusted to reflect market and financial trends and the prospects of the properties.

Due to the current status of the Cyprus real estate market and due to the lack of adequate comparable information, the valuation of the Group's/ Company's investment properties of €270.308.206 have been classified on 31 December 2015 as level 3 valuation since the valuation techniques used incorporate unobservable inputs. The valuation of the Group's investment property of €550.000 has been classified as level 2 on 31 December 2015.

The Company's/Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

Investment properties which have been used as securities for the Group's and for the Company's borrowings are disclosed in Note 26.

18 Group's reorganisation

In October 2013, the Company implemented the Group's reorganisation plan under which the property held by the Company at Moni was transferred to the newly incorporated company C.C.C Real Estate Company Limited at a fair value of €270.569.441. Based on the provisions of reorganisation plan, the Company would also transfer bank loans of €3.737.969 when the relevant authorisations will be granted by the bank. The consideration for the reorganization was €266.831.472 which was settled through the issuance of 999 998 shares of C.C.C. Real Estate Company Limited to the Company.

(i) Issue of share capital in L'Union Nationale (Tourism and Sea Resorts) Limited and shareholding restructuring

On 23 October 2013, the subsidiary CCCT signed an "Agreement and plan of Subscription" with Emerald Coast Properties Limited, ("Investor"), according to which its subsidiary, L' Union, would issued 20 000 000 shares of a new class at par, with a nominal value of €1 each, to be subscribed by the Investor, with CCCT waiving its pre-emption rights. The completion of the transaction was subject to certain conditions and to due diligence from the Investor.

21 Discontinued Operations (continued)

(i) Issue of share capital in L'Union Nationale (Tourism and Sea Resorts) Limited and shareholding restructuring (continued)

On 31 January 2014, all conditions of the above agreement were satisfied and the subsidiary company by a Special Resolution issued and allotted on the same date 20 000 000 shares with nominal value of €1 each, to the Investor for the subscription price of €20.000.000. After the issue of the said new shares, C.C.C. Tourist Enterprises Public Company Limited and the Investor each had 50% share in L' Union Nationale (Tourism and Sea Resorts) Limited ("L' Union").

The new funds were primarily used for the renovation of the Le Meridien Limassol Spa and Resort which began on November, as well as for the strengthening of the subsidiary's working capital.

The Group recognized a loss of € 1.497.194 from the transaction described above during the year ended 31 December 2014 which is the difference between the carrying value of the net assets of the subsidiary attributable to the Group before and after the completion of the agreement. Further, an amount of €8.934.763 relating to accumulated fair value gains from the revaluation of the hotel incurred prior the agreement have been transferred from fair value reserves to retained earnings.

(ii) Additional issue of share capital in L'Union and shareholding restructuring (continued)

On 30 September 2014, the shareholding restructuring of L'Union was completed. After the restructuring, the issued share capital of L'Union increased by €52,5 million, by issuing 40 076 336 shares at nominal value of €1,31 per share. Upon completion of the share capital restructuring, CCCT holds 24,98% of the total issued share capital of L 'Union. The proceeds from this issue of shares will be used exclusively for the repayment of bank loans of L 'Union to the Bank of Cyprus Public Company Ltd.

From 01 January 2015, the Board of Directors of the Group has decided to reclassify the investment in L' Union Nationale (Tourism & Sea Resorts) from "Investments accounted for under the equity method" to "Available-for-sale financial assets". The Board of Directors of the Group believes that this classification better reflects the economic substance in accordance with the degree of influence the Group has over the financial and corporate decisions made by L'Union Nationale (Tourism & Sea Resorts) through the Group's representation on the entity's Board of Directors.

The Group and the other investor of L' Union Nationale (Tourism & Sea Resorts) have appointed one and five directors, respectively, on the entity's Board of Directors. The decisions of the Board of Directors are taken based on simple voting majority. In addition, the decisions in the general meeting of the Board of Directors will be taken based on simple voting majority, unless this is defined differently by law.

As a result, during the date of the Group's loss of significant influence over L' Union Nationale (Tourism & Sea Resorts), the investment is valued at fair value, in accordance with IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement".

(i) Valuation technique and key assumptions

The valuation of the fair value of L' Union Nationale (Tourism & Sea Resorts) was conducted by the management of the Group on 31 December 2015, using the method of discounted cash flows. The key asusmptions used for the valuation of the fair value are as follows:

  • Discount factor (WACC): 10%
  • Duration: 10 years
  • Annual incremental rate of revenues: 2%-3%
  • Terminal growth rate: 3%

22 Available-for-sale financial assets (continued)

(ii) Sensitivity analysis

The following table shows the possible impact on the fair value of the investment in L' Union Nationale (Tourism & Sea Resorts) on total other comprehensive income, from the variance in the expected profit margin and discount factor. The positive amount reflects the potential net profit and the negative amount reflects the potential net loss in other comprehensive income:
