MANAGEMENT REPORT

The Board of Directors of The Mall of Engomi (ME) Plc (the "Company" or the "Mall") presents to the members its Management Report and unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the Company for the 6 months ended 30 June 2024

Principal activities and nature of operations of the Company

The principal activity of the Company, which is unchanged from last year, is the leasing/granting of rights of use of space of its property, the shopping Mall "The Mall of Engomi", for retail/commercial purposes.

Review of current position, and performance of the Company's business

The Company's revenue for the 6 months ended 30 June 2024 was €1.921.790 compared to €1.947.604 for the corresponding period ended 30 June 2023. The operating profit of the period ended 30 June 2024 was €1.013.126 (period ended 30 June 2023: €415.903).

The profit after tax of the Company for the period ended 30 June 2024 amounted to €170.496 (30 June 2023: Ioss of €317.268).

At 30 June 2024 the total assets of the Company were E58.107.092 (31 December 2023: €42.843.307) and its net assets were €21.035.976 (31 December 2023: €21.051.710). The financial position, development and performance of the Company as presented in these financial statements are considered satisfactory.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Company are disclosed in note 1 of the condensed financial statements.

Future developments of the Company

The Board of Directors does not expect any significant changes in the operations, financial position and performance of the Company in the foreseeable future.

Existence of branches

The Company does not maintain any branches.

Use of financial instruments by the Company

The Company is primarily exposed to interest rate risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.

Risk management is carried out by management and approved by the Board of Directors. Management identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the Company's operating units. The Board provides written principles and / or oral for overall risk management, as well as written and /or oral policies covering spectific areas, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, and investment of excess liquidity.

Interest rate risk

The Company's interest rate risk mainly anses from long-term bans payable to group companies as well as from loans receivable due from related entities. Borrowings issued to, and loans granted by the Company at variable rates expose it to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings at fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. All borrowings as at 30 June 2024 are at variable rates.

As at 30 June 2024, the Company's liabilities which bore variable interest rates amounted to €19.770.034. The Company's management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly. The Company does not apply hedge accounting for cash flow interest rate risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, contractual cash flows of debt instruments carried at amortised cost, as well as credit exposures to tenants, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. Credit risk also anses from intragroup guarantee arrangements that the Company participates in.

Management assesses the credit quality of the lessees, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual credit limits and credit terms are set based on the credit quality of the lessee in accordance with limits set by the Board. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.

As at 30 June 2024 the Company's credit risk arises from trade receivables amounting to €192.642 (net, after cumulative expected credit losses of €248.975) and bank balances amounting to €679.733.

MANAGEMENT REPORT

Liquidity risk

Management monitors the current liquidity position of the Company based on expected cash flows and expected revenue receipts. On a long-term basis, liquidity risk is defined based on the expected future cash flows at the time of entering into new credit facilities or loans and based on budgeted forecasts. Management believes that it is successful in managing the Company's liquidity risk.

Capital risk management

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

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.

The Company 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 minus cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as "equity" as shown in the statement of financial position plus net debt. As at 30 June 2024 the Company's net debt amounted to €19.090.301 (31 December 2023: €19.642.393) and total equity of €21.035.976 (31 December 2023: €21.051.709) leading to a gearing ratio of 47,58% (31 December 2023: 48,27%).

Results

The Company's results for the period are set out on page 6.

Dividends

The Board of Directors does not recommend the payment of a dividend.

Share capital

Refer to Note 17 for an overview of the changes in the share capital during the period under review.

Operating Environment of the Company and going concern considerations

A level of uncertainty exists from challenges such as inflationary pressures stemming from geopolitical tensions like the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which might impact the future of the Cyprus economy. Consequently, making reliable predictions about the ultimate outcomes is challenging, and there exists a possibility of variance between Management's present expectations and the actual results. As discussed in Note 1, the directors are of the view that the Company's going concern status and outlook is not compromised.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended 30 June 2024

1. Incorporation and principal activities

Country of incorporation

The Mall of Engomi (ME) Pic (the "Company") was incorporated in Cyprus on 8 November 1995 as a private limited liability company under the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113. On 10 July 2015, and since then, the Company is listed on the (unregulated) Emerging Companies Market of the Cyprus Stock Exchange. Its registered office is at 3 Verginas Street, The Mall of Cyprus, Strovolos, 2025, Nicosia, Cyprus.

Unaudited financial statements

The financial statements for the six months ended on 30 June 2024, have not been audited by the external auditors of the Company. The unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the Company for the six months ended on 30 June 2024, should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Operating Environment of the Company and assessment of Going Concern status

Economic indicators

A level of uncertainty exists from challenges such as inflationary pressures stemming from geopolitical tensions like the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which might impact the future of the Cyprus economy. Consequently, making reliable predictions about the ultimate outcomes is challenging, and there exists a possibility of variance between Management's present expectations and estimates and the actual results. The directors are of the view that the Company's going concern status and outlook is not compromised.

Going concern

Management is of the opinion that the Company's going concern status and outlook is not compromised. Principal factors in support of this conclusion include, but are not limited to:

  • · extension of final debt settlement and renegotiation of the borrowing interest rate during 2022
  • · restructuring of €7.500.000 bank debt between Mall of Engomi (ME) Plc and its fellow subsidiary Mall of Cyprus (MC) Plc during 2023
  • · the implementation of an all-round plan of managing relationships with tenants
  • · establishing relationships with brands that are not yet in the mall to fill future vacancies
  • containment of operational costs

The potential scenarios which could lead to the Company not being a going concern, along with Management's evaluation, are considered to be:

Not having sufficient cash to meet liabilities as they fall due or meet financing obligations

With respect to this scenario, although the Company has a negative net working capital position management is confident that the future proceeds from license fees will be sufficient to cover the short-term liabilities.

A non-remedied breach of the financial covenants within the Company's bank facilities

These covenants are applicable to the Company, its fellow subsidiary the Mall of Cyprus (MC) Plc and the parent entity Atterbury Cyprus Limited, and are as follows:

  • · Debt Service Cover Ratio: no less than or equal to 1.1 times
  • Debt to Equity Ratio: shall not exceed 1.4 times
  • I oan to Value Ratio: shall not exceed 60%

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended 30 June 2024

The Company is currently in full compliance with such covenants and expects to remain so. The Company also expects that there should not be any issue concerning the Company's cross guarantee position in favour of its fellow subsidiary, as the latter's position and performance is expected to be sufficient to avoid any unfavourable developments that may burden the entity. Based on the Company's assessment, the main covenants are the debt service cover ratio and the loan to value ratio requirements. Based on the forecasts by Management, there is significant headroom before being at risk of any such breach.

Interruption of operations and worsening of the financial position of tenants

Management acknowledges the possibility that tenants, may in future continue to face such risks. This is an issue that is being appropriately managed with continuous monitoring of the tenants' ongoing situation. Actions have been taken effect during prior year 2023 and 2024, targeting specific tenants.

In order to assess the actual and potential impact on the Company's financial position, financial performance and cash flows, management has undertaken a continuous process of reassessing its cash flow and profitability forecasts by incorporating downside scenarios and the risks mentioned above (including breach of covenants) and assessed that the Company will be in a position to continue its normal course of business and to meet its obligations as they become due, for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements. The reassessment process will be evaluated as changes to the overall operating and economic environment evolve.

2. Adoption of new or revised standards and interpretations

During the current period the Company adopted all the new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting penods beginning on 1 January 2024. This adoption did not have a material effect on the accounting policies of the Company.

3. Material accounting information

The material accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements are consistent to those used in the audited financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2023, unless otherwise stated in relation to the application of the new IFRSs as from 1 January 2024.

The unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with th International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union (EU), including International Accounting Standards (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113 and the Cyprus Stock Exchange Laws and Regulations.

4. New accounting pronouncements

Up to the date of approval of the financial statements, certain new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards have been published that are not yet effective for the current reporting period and which the Company has not early adopted. The Board of Directors expects that the adoption of these accounting standards and amendments by the Company will have no material effect on the financial statements of the Company. They are as follows:

Standards issued but not yet effective

(i) Issued by the IASB but not yet adopted by the European Union

Amendments to IAS 1 regarding classification of Liabilities as Current or Non Current (Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024

The amendments in Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1) affect only the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position - not the amount or timing of recognition of any asset, liability income or expenses, or the information that entities disclose about those items.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended 30 June 2024

4. New accounting pronouncements (continued)

Issued by the IASB but not yet adopted by the European Union (continued)

They clarify that the classification of liabilities as current should be based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and align the wording in all affected paragraphs to refer to the "right" to defer settlement by at least twelve months and make explicit that only rights in place "at the reporting period" should affect the classification of a liability;

They clarify that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability; and

They make clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services

The amendments are to be applied retrospectively. Earlier application is permitted.

Amendments to IAS 1 reparding Non current Liabilities with Covenants (Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)

In November 2022, IAS 1 has been amended to specify that only covenants an entity must comply with on or before the reporting period should affect classification of the corresponding liability as current or non current.

An entity is required to disclose information in the notes that enables users of financial statements to understand the risk that non current liabilities with covenants could become repayable within twelve months.

The 2022 amendments deferred the effective date of the amendments to JAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non current published in January 2020 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning on of after January 2024.

The amendments are applied retrospectively.

Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Amendments to clarily how a seller-lessee subsequently measures sale and leaseback transactions (Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)

The amendments require a seller lessee to subsequently measure lease liabilities by determining "lease payments" and "revised lease payments" ansing from a leaseback in a way that it does not recognise any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. The new requirements do not prevent a seller lessee from recognising in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of a lease.

Without these new requirements, a seller lessee may have recognised a gain on the right of use it retains solely because of a remeasurement of the lease liability (for example, following a lease modification or change in the lease term) applying the general requirements in IFRS 16. This could have been particularly the case in a leaseback that includes variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate.

A seller lessee applies the amendments retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application, which is defined as the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applied IFRS 16.

Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability (Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025

The amendments within the Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21) revise IAS 21 to:

  • Specify when a currency is exchangeable into another currency and when it is not
  • Specify how an entity determines the exchange rate to apply when a currency is not exchangeable
  • Require the disclosure of additional information when a currency is not exchangeable

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended 30 June 2024

4. New accounting pronouncements (continued)

Issued by the IASB but not yet adopted by the European Union (continued)

Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Supplier FinanceArrangements (Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)

The amendments add a disclosure objective to IAS 7 stating that an entity is required to disclose information aboutts supplier finance arrangements that enables users of financial statements to assess the effects of thosearrangements on the entity's liabilities and cash flows. In addition, IFRS 7 was amended to add supplier financearrangements as an example within the requirements to disclose information about an entity's exposure toconcentration of liquidity risk.

The amendments, which contain specific transition reliefs for the first annual reporting period in which an entityapplies the amendments, are applicable for annual reporting on or after 1 January 2024. Earlierapplication is permitted.

The investment properties are valued annually at fair value comprising open market value based on valuations by an independent, professionally qualified valuer. Fair value is based in active market process, adjusted it necessary, for any differences in the nature, location of the specific asset. If the information is not available, the Company uses alternative valuation methods such as recent prices or less active markets or discounted cash flow projections. These valuations are typically prepared annually by independent valuers and reviewed and adopted by management. Changes in fair value are recorded in profit or loss and are included in "fair value gains((losses) on investment property". In arriving at open market value, Management takes into account any significant impact of lease incentives (such as relocation incentives, conditional discounts to tenants qualifying as rent concessions and any deferred income associated with future benefits accruing to the Company in relation to tenant contributions to the value of investment property) in order to avoid double-counting in the Company's assets and liabilities. The adjustment as of 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2023 for the aforementioned incentives, was derived from unamortised discounts granted to tenants classified under "other assets" as well as from deferred income, classified under "trade and other payables".

The Company's investment property is measured at fair value. The Company holds one class of investment property being the Mall of Engomi.

Valuation processes of the Company

As part of the process for period end financial reporting purposes, Management took into account the external valuation prepared as at 31 December 2023 by independent professionally qualified valuers Landtourist Valuations LLC, who possess 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 Company's finance department reviews the valuation performed by the independent valuers for financial reporting purposes. Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO, Management, and the independent valuers at least once every year. At each 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

Bank borrowings are secured on the Company's investment property.

13. Investment properties (continued)

Fair value hierarchy

The following table analyses investment property 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 fair value measurement for all of the investment properties has a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation technique used at each of 31 December 2023.

Valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs

The following table shows the valuation technique used in measuring the fair value of investment property, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

Valuation techniques underlying management's estimation of fair value

The valuation was determined using discounted cash flow projections based on significant unobservable inputs. These inputs include:

Revenue (Future rental cash inflows) Based on the actual location, type and quality of the properties and
supported by the terms of any existing lease, other contracts or external
evidence such as current market rents for similar properties;
Discount rate Reflecting current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and
timing of cash flows;
Estimated vacancy rates Based on current and expected future market conditions after expiry of any
current lease:
Capitalisation rates Based on actual location, size and quality of the properties and faking into
account market data at the valuation date.

On 22 July 2019 and subsequently revised and extended on 27 July 2020, the Company together with its parent and its fellow subsidiary, entered into a revised foan agreement with Bank of Cypus Public Company Limited. The agreement comprises four distinct facilities as shown in the table above.

The ancillary facility represents the aggregated amount of overdrafts of the Company and its fellow subsidiary, amounting to €2.000.000 and €1.000.000 respectively.

On 10 October 2019, the Bank of Cyprus Public Company Limited syndicated a portion of Facility C (a principal amount of €5.000.000) to Eurobank Cyprus Ltd, as permitted by the agreement, on the same terms and conditions as set out in the facility agreement.

The maturity date of the loan is 15 September 2035 and the loan bears interest of 3-month Euribor plus 3,10%. Part of the outstanding balance of this loan was applied to the repayment of another loan payable to a related party, which had been given for bridging purposes.

On 9 February 2022, upon the signing of the amendment, the interest rate for Facility C, as well as the Redevelopment loan, was increased from 3-month Euribor + 3,40% to 3-month Euribor + 3,50%, while at the same time monthly instalments were decreased, thus increasing the final repayment amounts at maturity.

On 7 December 2022, the Company signed a restatement of the loan Facility Agreement decreasing the marginfrom 3,50% to 3,10% effective for a period of three years, until 15 December 2025 when the margin will return to 3,50%.

As a result, a new bank loan, Facility D, with terms substantially similar to its existing bank loans, was obtained by Mall of Cyprus.

Where some licensellease agreements do not stipulate any interest accruing to the tenants' security deposits, the Company applies a market related effective interest rate to account for the finance income and expense element, if evaluated as significant.

Lessees do not have an option to purchase the property at the expiry of the lease period.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended 30 June 2024

24. Commitments (continued)

The Company is exposed to changes in the residual value of investment property at the end of current lease agreements. The residual value risk born by the Company is mitigated by active management of its property with the objective of optimising and improving tenant mix in order to:

  • achieve the longest weighted average lease term possible;

  • minimise vacancy rates across all properties; and

  • minimise the turnover of tenants of high credit rating and business prospects.

The Company also grants lease incentives to encourage key tenants to remain in the Mall for longer lease terms. In the case of anchor tenants, this also attracts to the property thereby contributing to overall occupancy levels. Lease agreements generally include a clause requiring the tenant to reinstate the leased space to its original state when the lease expires the tenant decides not to renew the lease agreement. This contributes to the maintenance of the property and allows for the space to be re-let on a timely basis once a tenant has departed.

In addition, the Company has a regular capital expenditure plan thoroughly considered by the Asset Management function of the Atterbury Group, to keep properties in line with market standards and trends.
