These interim condensed Financial Statements have been approved for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on June 30, 2020, and are available on the website address http://www.prodea.gr.

NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2.1 Basis of Preparation

Τhe interim condensed financial information of the Group and the Company for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 (the "Interim Financial Statements") have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

These Interim Financial Statements include selected explanatory notes and do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. Therefore, the Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated and separate financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as endorsed by the European Union (the "EU").

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim period, except for the adoption of new and amended standards as set out below (Note 2.3.1).

The amounts are stated in Euro, rounded to the nearest thousand (unless otherwise stated) for ease of presentation.

It is mentioned that where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in the current period's presentation. Management believes that such adjustments do not have a material impact in the presentation of financial information.

2.2 Going concern

The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns have affected the economic activity globally. The impact on the global economy and overall business activities cannot be assessed with reasonable certainty at this stage due to the inability to reliably predict the spread and duration of the pandemic. Many governments, including those of countries in which the Group operates, announced several measures in order to support business activity and the economy.

The Group's source of revenues is mainly through investment property (i.e. rental income) and to a lesser extent through the hospitality and ancillary services of the subsidiaries Aphrodite Hills και CTDC in Cyprus.

Impact on rental income

The main sectors that were affected by COVID-19 were high street retail (excluding hypermarkets) and hospitality. The above sectors represent approximately 10% of Group's annualized rents as of March 31, 2020. Additionally, the Group's revenue from its five largest tenants, i.e. National Bank of Greece, Sklavenitis, Hellenic Republic, Cosmote and Italian Republic, representing 75% of the Group's annualized rents as of March 31, 2020 have not been affected by COVID-19. Taking into consideration the government measures in the countries where the Group operates, the reduction in rental income for 2020 is estimated to be c. 2.5% - 3.0% of annualized rents.

Impact on revenue from hospitality and ancillary services

Prodea's presence in the hospitality sector is in Cyprus through the Landmark Nicosia (CTDC) and Aphrodite Hills. This is the business sector and jurisdiction in which the Group operates that was mostly affected by the pandemic as hotel operations in Cyprus were under mandatory suspension from 16.03.2020 until 14.06.2020, therefore the abovementioned subsidiaries ceased their operation. The impact of COVID-19 cannot be assessed with reasonable certainty and the Management is evaluating the next steps taking into consideration the latest measures announced by the Cypriot government on June 17, 2020 for the support of hotel businesses. It is noted that the contribution of these subsidiaries at the Group's operating profits is c. 5.0% - 5.5%.

The Management taking into consideration the above as well as:

  • 1) The current financial position of the Company and the Group,
  • 2) The diversification of the Group's real estate portfolio,
  • 3) The fact that even if COVID-19 negatively affects the revenue and the operating results of the Group in the short-term the Group's business plan has a long-term perspective,
  • 4) The necessary funds for the realization of the Group's short to medium term business plan have been already secured.

concluded that the Company and the Group have sufficient resources in order to continue the business activity and the implementation of the Group's short to medium term business plan. Therefore, the Interim Financial Statements of the Group and the Company have been prepared based on the going concern principle.

The Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the situation closely.

2.3 Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)

2.3.1. New standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards applied from 1 January 2020:

  • Definition of a business - Amendment to IFRS 3 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, as issued by the IASB). The IASB issued amendments to the definition of a business in IFRS 3 "Business Combination" to help entities to determine whether an acquired set of activities and assets is a business or not. The amendments clarify the minimum requirements for a business, remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing elements or processes and continuing to produce outputs, add guidance to help entities assess whether an acquired process is substantive, narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs, and introduce an optional fair value concentration test. The amendments must be applied to transactions that are either business combinations or asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Consequently, entities do not have to revisit such transactions that occurred in prior periods. The adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Interim Financial Statements.
  • Definition of materiality - Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 (effective for the Group as of January 1, 2020). In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, to align the definition of "material" across the standards and to clarify certain aspects of the definition. The new definition states that 'information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purposes financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity. The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of the information or both. An entity will need to assess whether information, either individually or in combination with other information, is material in the context of the financial statements. The adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Interim Financial Statements.
  • Conceptual framework. In March 2018, the IASB issued a revised version of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting ("the Framework"), which will be effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2020. The Framework sets out the fundamental concepts of financial reporting that guide the IASB in developing IFRS Standards. The Framework underpins existing IFRS Standards but does not overrides them. Preparers of the financial statements use the Framework as a point of reference to develop accounting policies in the rare instances where a particular business transaction is not covered by existing IFRS Standards. The IASB and the IFRS Interpretations Committee will begin to use the new Framework immediately in developing new, or amending existing, financial reporting standards and interpretations. The adoption of the revised conceptual framework did not have a material impact on the Interim Financial Statements.

The amendments to existing standards and the conceptual framework effective from January 1, 2020 have been endorsed by the EU.

2.3.2. New standards and amendments to existing standards effective after 2020:

  • Reference to the Conceptual Framework – Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations(effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2022, as issued by the IASB). The amendments update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations.
  • Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use – Amendments to IAS 16 (effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2022, as issued by the IASB). The amendments prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognise such sales proceeds and related costs in profit or loss.
  • Onerous Contracts: Cost of Fulfilling a Contract – Amendment to IAS 37 (effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2022, as issued by the IASB). The amendments specify which costs a company includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making.
  • Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018 – 2020 Cycle (effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2022, as issued by the IASB). The amendments applicable to the Group are:
    • IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Feed in "10 per cent" test for derecognition of financial liabilities. The amendment clarifies which fees an entity included when it applies the "10 per cent" test in assessing whether to derecognize a financial liability. Only fees paid or received between the entity (the borrower) and the lender are included, including fees paid or received by either the entity or the lender on the other's behalf.
    • IFRS 16: Lease Incentives. The amendment to Illustrative Example 13 accompanying IFRS 16 removes from the example the illustration of the reimbursement of leasehold improvements by the lessor, in order to resolve any potential confusion regarding the treatment of lease incentives that might arise because of how lease incentives are illustrated in that example.

The amendments to existing standards effective after 2020 have not been endorsed by the EU.

NOTE 3: Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

In preparing these Interim Financial Statements, the significant estimates, judgments and assumptions made by Management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were similar to those applied to the consolidated and separate Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Group's Management estimates and judgments in relation to investment property and the property and equipment which include land and buildings relating to hotel and other facilities, were similar to those applied to the consolidated and separate Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. Despite the fact that investment activity dropped significantly in H1 2020, demand from both domestic and international investors is still existent. The lack of transactions is due to the fact that investors seem to have placed on hold any plans until they acquire a better perspective of where the global market is heading. In any case, the real estate market is generally less liquid in nature compared to other assets, since any change in demand and particularly supply take significantly more time to realize. This is the reason why any effect that the change of external factors may have on the real estate market is demonstrated gradually and with a time lag compared to the change itself.

NOTE 4: Financial Risk Management

4.1. Financial Risk Management

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks such as market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The financial risks relate to the following financial instruments: trade and other assets, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other payables and borrowings. The risk management policy, followed by the Group, focuses on minimizing the impact of unexpected market changes.

The Interim Financial Statements do not include all information regarding the financial risk management and the relevant disclosures required in the annual Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with the published consolidated and separate Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

4.2 Fair Value Estimation of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Group measures the fair value of financial instruments based on a framework for measuring fair value that categorises financial instruments based on three-level hierarchy in accordance with the hierarchy of the inputs used to the valuation technique, as described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. More specifically, the fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. More specifically if one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

Financial instruments carried at fair value

The table below analyses financial liabilities of the Group carried at fair value, by valuation method, as at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

March 31, 2020 Valuation hierarchy
Liabilities Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Derivative financial instruments - 9 - 9
December 31, 2019 Valuation hierarchy
Liabilities Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total

The derivative financial instruments presented above relate to interest rate caps. The fair value of interest rate caps is calculated, using Bloomberg, as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves. As a result, the derivative financial instruments are included in Level 2.

There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2, nor any transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period.

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

Financial instruments not carried at fair value

The tables below analyse financial liabilities of the Group not carried at fair value as at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively:

March 31, 2020 Valuation hierarchy
Liabilities Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Borrowings - - 946,872 946,872
December 31, 2019 Valuation hierarchy
Liabilities Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total

The liabilities included in the tables above are carried at amortized cost and their carrying value approximates their fair value.

As at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other assets as well as trade and other payables approximates their fair value.

In accordance with existing Greek REIC legislation, property valuations are supported by appraisals performed by independent professionally qualified valuers who prepare their reports twice a year as at June 30 and December 31. The investment property valuation for the consideration of the fair value is performed taking into consideration the high and best use of each property given the legal status, technical characteristics and the allowed uses for each property. In accordance with existing Greek REIC legislation JMD 26294/B1425/19.7.2000, valuations are based on at least two methods. As at March 31 and September 30 each year, the Management estimates, based on the market conditions and any real events in relation to the properties portfolio, if there is a change in these values. If there is a significant change it is taken into consideration for the determination of the fair value of investment property. Management considers that there were no events or circumstances that could cause a significant diversification in the fair value of investment property portfolio as of March 31, 2020 from the fair value as of December 31, 2019 (Note 3).

The last valuation of the Group's properties was performed at December 31, 2019 by independent valuers, as stipulated by the relevant provisions of L.2778/1999, as in force. For the Group's portfolio the market approach and the discounted cash flow (DCF) method were used, for the majority of the valuations. For the valuation of the Group's properties, except for one property, the DCF method was assessed by the independent valuers to be the most appropriate.

For the valuation of Group's properties in Greece, Cyprus and Romania, the DCF method was used in all properties and in the most properties the market approach. For the weighing of the two methods (DCF and market approach), the rates 80%, 85% or 100% for the DCF method and 20%, 15% or 0%, respectively, for the market approach have been applied, as shown in the table above. The increased weighting for the DCF method is due to the fact that this method reflects more effectively the manner in which investment properties, such as the properties of our portfolio, transact in the market.

For the retail property in Bulgaria, two methods were used, the DCF method and the market approach. For the weighing of the two methods the rates 100% for the DCF method and 0% for the depreciated replacement cost method have been applied, as shown in the table above. The increased weighting for the DCF method is due to the fact that this method reflects more effectively the manner in which investment properties, as the appraised one, transact in the market, while the property is under development thus the other methods are considered as less appropriate.

For the office property in Bulgaria, two methods were used, the DCF method and the market approach. For the weighing of the two methods (DCF and market approach), the rates 80% for the DCF method and 20% for the market approach, respectively have been applied, as shown in the table above. The increased weighting for the DCF method is due to the fact that this method reflects more effectively the manner in which investment properties, as the appraised one, transact in the market.

For the properties in Italy, which constitute commercial properties (offices, retail and storage spaces), the independent valuers used two methods, the DCF method and the market approach, as shown in the table above. For the weighing of the two methods the rates 100% for the DCF method and 0% for the market approach have been applied. The increased weighting for the DCF method is due to the fact that this method reflects more effectively the manner in which investment properties, as the appraised ones, transact in the market and represents the common appraisal practice, while the value derived by using the market approaches is very close to the one derived by using the DCF method.

Specifically, for the property in Torvaianica area, in the municipality of Pomezia, Rome, which is a land plot with development potential, two methods were used, the residual method and the market approach according to the data depicted in the above table. For the weighing of the two methods the rates 100% for the residual method and 0% for the market approach have been applied. The increased weighting for the residual method is due to the fact that the valuers take into consideration the current development plan, which is difficult to be considered by using another method, and that the value derived by using the market approach is very close to the one derived by using the residual method.

The subsidiaries are consolidated with the full consolidation method.

The financial year 2014 of Karolou Touristiki S.A. has not been audited for tax purposes from the Greek tax authorities and consequently the tax obligations for this year are not considered as final. The years 2015 up to 2018 have been audited by the elected under L. 4548/2018 statutory auditor, in accordance with article 82 of L. 2238/1994 and the article 65Α of L. 4174/2013 and the relevant tax audit certificates were issued with no qualification. According to POL. 1006/05.01.2016, the companies for which a tax audit certificate with no qualifications is issued, are not exempted from tax audit for offenses of tax legislation by the tax authorities. Therefore, the tax authorities may come back and conduct their own tax audit. However, the Management estimates that the results of future tax audits may conducted by the tax authorities, will not have a material effect on the financial position of the Company. Until the date of approval of the Interim Financial Statements, the tax audit by the statutory auditor for the year 2019 has not been completed.

The Group's and the Company's trade receivables as of March 31, 2020 include an amount of €325 and €156, respectively, (December 31, 2019: €339 for the Group and €153 for the Company) relating to lease incentives under certain lease agreements. The accounting treatment of these incentives, according to the relevant accounting standards, provides for their partial amortization over the life of each lease.

Company's receivables from Greek State of an amount of €8,011 (December 31, 2019: €8,011) mainly relate to capital accumulation tax paid by the Company at April 14, 2010, September 16, 2014 and September 17, 2014. Upon payment of this tax, the Company expressed its reservation on the obligation to pay the tax and at the same time it requested the refund of this amount as a result of paragraph 1, article 31 of L.2778/1999, which states that "the shares issued by a REIC and the transfer of properties to a REIC are exempt of any tax, fee, stamp duty, levies, duties or any other charge in favour of the State, public entities and third parties in general". Regarding the payment of the aforementioned tax, because of the lack of response of the relevant authority after a three-month period, the Company filed an appeal. According to the decision of the Council of State No. 90/2019, which was published on January 16, 2019 and according to the decision No. 4828/19 of the Athens Administrative Court of Appeal, the application for an appeal amounting to €5,900, in respect of the capital accumulation tax paid on April 14, 2010, was accepted. It is noted that subsequent to March 31, 2020 the Company received the amount of €5,900 (Note 26). The Management of the Company, based on the opinion of its legal counsels and the above decisions of the competent bodies, considers that the reimbursement of the remaining amount related to capital accumulation tax, of a total amount of €1,752, is virtual certain.

The tax liability of the Company (and its subsidiaries in Greece) is calculated on the basis of its investments and cash and cash equivalents rather than on its profits, therefore no temporary differences arise and accordingly no deferred tax liabilities and/or assets are recognized. The same applies to the Company's subsidiary, Picasso Fund, in Italy, which is not subject to income tax.

The Company's foreign subsidiaries, Nash S.r.L., Egnatia Properties S.A., Quadratix Ltd., Lasmane Properties, PNG Properties EAD, I&B Real Estate EAD, Aphrodite Hills Resort Limited, Aphrodite Springs Public Limited, Vibrana Holdings and CYREIT are taxed based on their income (Note 22), therefore temporary differences may arise and accordingly deferred tax liabilities and / or assets may be recognized.

The Group have offset the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities on an entity by entity basis based on the legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts i.e. offset current income tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes relate to the same tax authority.

More specifically, the tax is determined by reference to the average fair value of its investments and cash and cash equivalents at current prices at the tax rate of 10% of the aggregate European Central Bank ("ECB") reference rate plus 1%. According to the article 46, par. 2 of L.4389/2016 a floor was set in the REIC tax of 0.375% on the average investments plus cash and cash equivalents, at current prices. Article 53 of Law 4646/2019 abolished the floor. It is noted, that the subsidiaries of the Company in Greece, Karolou Touristiki S.A., Irina Ktimatiki S.A., Anaptixi Fragokklisia S.A. and lldim M.

The unaudited tax years of the subsidiaries and the joint ventures of the Group are described in Notes 9 and 10, respectively.

NOTE 23: Earnings per Share

NOTE 24: Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

Tax Liabilities

Group companies have not been audited yet for tax purposes for certain financial years and consequently their tax obligations for those years may not be considered final. Additional taxes and penalties may be imposed as a result of such tax audits; however, the amount cannot be determined. As at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 the Group has not accounted for provisions for unaudited tax years. It is estimated that additional taxes and penalties that may be imposed will not have a material effect on the statement of financial position of the Group and the Company.

The tax authorities have not audited the books and records of NBG Pangaea REIC, which was absorbed by the Company, for the year ended December 31, 2010 and consequently the tax obligations for that year are not considered as final. In a future tax audit, additional taxes and penalties may be imposed, the amount of which cannot be determined accurately at present. However, Management estimates that they will not have a material effect on the financial position of the Company. The financial years 2011 - 2014 have been audited by the elected, under C.L. 2190/1920, statutory auditor, in accordance with article 82 of L. 2238/1994 and article 65A of L. 4174/2013 and the relevant tax audit certificates were issued with no qualifications. Especially for the year 2012, it is noted that within 2018 the tax audit was completed by the competent tax authorities with no findings and therefore no additional taxes were imposed.

The years 2013 – 2018 of the Company have been audited by the elected, under C.L. 2190/1920, statutory auditor, in accordance with article 82 of L. 2238/1994 and article 65A of L. 4174/2013 and the relevant tax audit certificates were issued with no qualifications.

The tax authorities have not audited the books and records of KARELA S.A., which was absorbed by the Company, for the financial year 2013 and consequently the tax obligations for this year is not considered as final. In a future tax audit, additional taxes and penalties may be imposed, the amount of which cannot be determined accurately at present. However, the Management estimates that they will not have a material effect on the financial position of the company. The financial years 2014 and 2015 have been audited by the elected, under C.L. 2190/1920, statutory auditor, in accordance with article 82 of L. 2238/1994 and article 65A of L. 4174/2013 and the relevant tax audit certificates were issued with no qualifications.

It is noted that according to POL. 1006/05.01.2016, the companies for which a tax certificate with no qualifications is issued, are not exempted from tax audit for offenses of tax legislation by the tax authorities. Therefore, the tax authorities may come back and conduct their own tax audit. However, Management estimates that the results of future tax audits may conducted by the tax authorities, will not have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.

Up until December 31, 2018, the tax authorities have not notified for any audit order for the Company and for KARELA S.A., which was absorbed by the Company, for the fiscal year 2010, 2011 and 2012. Therefore, the right of the State to disclose audit trails and transactions for the determination of tax, fees, levies and fines for the purpose of charging a tax has been time-barred for the aforementioned, per company, reported uses pursuant to a) par. 1 of article 84 of l. 2238/1995 (unaudited income tax cases); b) par. 1 of article 57 of l. 2859/2000 (non-audited cases of VAT) and c) of par. 5 of article 9 of l. 2523/1997 (imposition of fines for income tax cases). Management considers that the circumstances limiting the aforementioned laws, which could extend the five-year limitation period to ten years, are not met.

Until the date of the approval of the Interim Financial Statements, the tax audit for the year 2019 has not been completed by the statutory auditor of the Company.

Capital Commitments

As of March 31, 2020, Group's capital expenditure relating to improvements on investment property amounted to €16,287 (excluding VAT). In addition, as of March 31, 2020 Group's capital expenditure relating to the development of residential projects in Paphos, Cyprus amounted to €4,699 (excluding VAT). Finally, Group's capital expenditure relating to the development of land plot of Aphrodite Springs Public Limited as of March 31, 2020 amounted to €4,330 (excluding VAT).

Legal Cases

There are no pending lawsuits against the Group nor other contingent liabilities resulting from commitments as of March 31, 2020, which would affect the Group's financial position.
