I am pleased to present to you the financial report of Echo Investment Group for the first half of 2023. This was an important period for the entire Group, in which we focused on the optimal use of our experience and further growth in key sectors of the real estate industry. The noticeable improvement in the condition of the residential market and the growing interest of city-forming, multi-functional "destination" projects are key factors that will determine the Group's stable position in the coming future.
Many of our activities in the first two quarters of 2023 were related to the transfer of our residential business to Archicom. The process of making the contribution in kind was successfully completed shortly after the balance sheet date of this report. This transfer, in addition to more effective management, reorganizes the structure of the Group so that the division of competences of the entities constituting it is transparent to the capital market and other stakeholders. Our shares in Archicom's capital currently amount to almost 90 percent, and the contribution itself constitutes a solid foundation for the development of this brand in five, and potentially also in more, agglomerations with significant purchasing power. The target of this transfer is to create a clear division between the residential business with individual clients and the commercial part that is dealing with institutional products.
In the first half of 2023, the Echo Investment Group sold 822 apartments, of which 568 apartments were sold by Archicom. During the first 6 months 612 completed apartments were handed over to customers and more than 2.7 thousand apartments were under construction. Due to the strong market conditions, we are planning to start another 2.4 thousand apartments. The landbank is strong so on top of the started projects another 8 thousand apartments are in the pipeline. We are also focusing on increasing this number to allow Archicom to be a significant player in the residential market in Poland.
In the institutional rental sector, the Resi4Rent platform maintains a leading position, with a 28 percent share in the Polish market and over 4 thousand ready apartments. By the end of the year the amount of apartment in operation and under construction will amount up to over 9 thousand units. The secured landbank for PRS projects is already above our target of 10 thousand units, and the apartments in operation are fully leased.
In Warsaw, we have started the construction of the first office building of Towarowa 22. This truly city-forming project will include a park of 2 ha and a mixed-use development consisting of offices, residential and PRS.
After the successes in renting office space in regional cities (including the end of commercialization of the Mid-Point 71 building in Wrocław and React in Łódź), we plan to develop further office projects in Kraków and Wrocław soon. We are also expanding our flexible office concept, which reached its 13th location in spring this year - this time in Fuzja in Łódź, thanks to which the CitySpace network has expanded to 3.8 thousand workstations.
The popularity of Echo Investment's office projects among investors was confirmed by the sale of the Moje Miejsce II building in Warsaw in the first quarter of this year. This
high-class facility ended up in new hands for an amount of nearly EUR 45 million.
In the retail real estate sector, we strive to optimize the tenant mix of our shopping centres, constantly adapting them to latest trends and post-pandemic customer expectations. The effectiveness of our actions is confirmed by data related to the growing footfall and turnover of Katowice's Libero and Galeria Młociny in Warsaw.
In the first half of 2023, the companies forming the Group issued bonds for institutional investors with a total value of PLN 202 million. We will use these funds to finance business development and roll over debt maturing in the coming years.
At the end of June 2023, our land bank allowed for the construction of approximately 11.6 thousand apartments, among other projects. Maintained high cash reserves (over PLN 662 million) support our development plans, enabling the search and purchase of new attractive plots in the largest Polish cities. At the same time, we strive to deliver further office buildings on regional markets, especially where we see a possible supply gap in terms of modern workspace, and we are looking for further opportunities in the residential living sector.
The net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent company after the second quarter of 2023 amounted to PLN 9.1 million, and the total value of assets at the end of Q2 2023 amounted to nearly PLN 5.73 billion.
From this year, in addition to the fundamental strategy of sustainable growth, our activities are guided by the comprehensive ESG policy announced in March. This is an important road map for us in the area of environmental protection, social involvement and responsible management. The strategy defined our decarbonization goals and road to zero-emission buildings, and established our role in sustainable urban development vital to all stakeholders.
I encourage you to review the detailed data contained in the report, along with a description of the shape of individual market segments in which the Echo Investment Group operates and our current development plans.
Kind regards
Nicklas Lindberg

on the Group's development in the residential sector and increasing the importance of multifunctional, large destination projects in the pipeline. Echo's strategy is based on the following pillars:


Echo Investment Group is the biggest real estate development company in terms of number of projects as well as its total area, operating in Poland. It is active in both sectors of real estate market: residential and commercial. In accordance with the Strategy of
Profitable Growth, Echo Investment is going to be one of the leaders in residential and commercial market, what implies higher dynamics in residential. Big scale of activity allows for optimum use of resources.
Echo Investment Group's many years of experience in three real estate sectors gives a competitive advantage consisting in the ability to implement large, multifunctional and city-forming projects. Thanks to this, the Group can buy larger areas, with regard to which the unit price
is lower and the competition among buyers is much smaller. Combining the functions provides for faster completion of the project and comprehensive design of the urban space.

The focus of the adopted strategy model is on development activities, which include land acquisition, construction, lease, active management to increase the market value and then sale of finished project in optimal time for the possible return ratio, capital management, market expectations and trends. Commercial and
residential properties under construction constitute majority of the group's assets.
It is the strongest economy and real estate market in the Central and Eastern Europe. Echo Investment, which has been operating on this market for two decades, knows perfectly its potential, background and principles of functioning. This is why the Company focuses on running projects in the most important Polish cities, which are at the same time the most attractive and liquid real estate markets: Warsaw, Tricity, Poznań, Katowice, Wrocław, Krakow and Łódź.

Echo Investment Group values longterm business relations with reliable partners, that created synergies for both sides. Development activities of Echo Investment Group are complementary to these entities. Such cooperation facilitates expanding Echo's scale of operation, accelerates speed of projects implementation and limits risks. Echo Investment Group assumes entering into joint-ventures
for projects requiring significant capital expenditures, providing its partners with services such as development, planning, leasing, accounting etc. Partners may also be offered by Echo with priority to acquire ready projects on market conditions. Material agreements between Echo Investment Group and its partners need to be discussed and approved by the Supervisory Board.


Echo Investment Group runs the entire investment process in-house, starting with acquisition of property, through obtaining administrative permits, financing and oversight of construction, to leasing, completion, active property management to increase its value, taking decision of sale and execution of this decision in optimal moment from return, cash management, expectation and market trends. These steps are taken in most cases through the special purpose vehicles (SPV).

Osiedle Stacja Wola w Warszawie
In March 2023, Echo Investment, together with its partner AFI Europe, presented a multifunctional development project for the purchased plot at Towarowa street in Warsaw, which was developed by the JEMS Architekci studio. It will be a flagship 'destination' project, a large placemaking project that meets the needs of Warsaw and will move the heart of the city over to Wola.
The project divides the former printing works site into eight new quarters, with streets, pedestrian and cycle paths running between them. The concept is to reconstruct Wronia street and the passage between Chłodna and Pańska streets, and in the ground floors to provide functions such as shops, cafés, restaurants and services. The two central quarters of the site with the renovated Dom Słowa Polskiego pavilion will become a public space, a publicly accessible Park Słowa Polskiego, part of which will use the structure of the former halls. Around the park, buildings will be constructed with flats, offices, rental housing and the services needed on a daily basis. The total floor area of the buildings will be about 200,000 sqm. The highest point of the development will be a 150-metre-high office building at the junction of Towarowa and Pańska streets. The remaining development will gently slope down towards the south-east - to Miedziana street, creating a smooth transition between the metropolitan Daszyńskiego Roundabout and the historic buildings of Wola.

The transaction value amounted to nearly EUR 45 million plus VAT and was reduced by the value of rent-free periods, rent reductions, as well as other costs. The amount payable at the closing was further reduced by the value of fit-out works. As a result, the price payable at the closing amounted to EUR 40.3 million plus VAT.
The office building is part of the Moje Miejsce (also known as My Place) project that forms a multifunctional urban quarter combining office buildings, apartments, service outlets and well-designed public spaces. Moje Miejsce II office building offers nearly 17,000 sqm of
leasable space and its tenants include Tchibo, NetWorks, Boehringer Ingelheim or Ekaterra, among others.
The entire Moje Miejsce destination project is already fully operational and completed.

The company also entered into an agreement to acquire 22.8 million C1, C2, C3, C4, C5-series ordinary registered shares in the share capital of Archicom S.A., with a total nominal value of PLN 228 million, in exchange for the in-kind contribution.

In H1 2023, developers sold a total of almost 27,000 new apartments and only 17,000 units were on offer. A difference of almost 10,000 units means that we are back to the situation we faced in 2021. According to JLL analysts, the second quarter brought a marked increase in the number of apartments sold. In total, in the six main markets, i.e. Warsaw, Cracow, Wrocław, the Tri-City, Poznań and Łódź, 15,500 units were sold, which is 36 percent more than in the previous quarter.
The market was most strongly influenced by what was announced and later quickly enacted as a law introducing a new housing interest subsidy programme to support first-time purchases of apartments, as well as by fears of possible price increases and a reduction in supply. Buyers looking for apartments both for their own needs and for investment purposes therefore accelerated their purchasing decisions. Customers were also influenced by news of falling inflation and the
introduction of the WIRON index as the interest rate base for variable rate loans.

In all cities, with the exception of Łódź, the sales have clearly outstripped the number of units on offer and, as a result, the offer has decreased. There is still a low number of construction sites which are being started. The very good sales and the new supply not keeping up with them mean that the markets are entering a
phase of clear excess demand. This imbalance could result in another marked increase in housing prices in the next months.
At the end of June 2023, the average prices of apartments on offer reached all-time highs in each of the large markets. In Wrocław, they exceeded
the limit of PLN 13,000/sqm, and Cracow almost caught up with Warsaw with the average price at the level of as much as PLN 14,700/sqm. Prices in Poznań and Łódź also skyrocketed to PLN 11,500/sqm and PLN 9,600/sqm respectively. The average quarterly price increase in most cities reached 4-5 percent.

The pool of apartments offered for rent by companies and funds is growing continuously on the Polish market. The PRS market is well-regulated compared to the dispersed market, and the contracts concluded therein are among the most professional and best safeguarding the interests of tenants and landlords.
According to JLL analysts, projects involving private rented sector (PRS) are very popular, including in Warsaw, Wrocław, Poznań, Cracow, Łódź, the Tri-City and Katowice, and new developments are being leased very quickly, despite rising rents. The huge potential of the Polish PRS market is due to several factors, including the structural shortage of apartments and the growing demand resulting in full occupancy of almost all existing institutional projects. Other factors include the needs of economic migrants or refugees seeking a safe place to live, the development of cities resulting from low levels of urbanisation, the process of singularisation of households, as well as the mobility related to various forms of employment. From an investor's point of view, the expected compression of yields and
further price increases in the coming years provide additional incentives to enter the market.
According to Axi Immo's analysts, the largest PRS market is Warsaw, offering around 5,000 units for rent. It is followed by Wrocław (about 2.25 thousand) and Poznań (about 1.7 thousand). These three cities account for 75 percent of the sector's stock, with the capital city alone accounting for 42 percent. According to the company's estimates, the largest number of new PRS units - in design - is in Warsaw (8.5 thousand). In Łódź, it amounts to 3.3 thousand, and in Cracow - 3 thousand. The markets in the Tri-City and Katowice are also developing, with a total of 2.5 thousand apartments under the PRS formula being developed. Along with the professionalisation of the institutional market, the PRS offer will grow.
The interest of tenants and investors in the PRS market is currently at its highest level ever. Almost all properties earmarked for this purpose are fully leased. This situation is taking place despite rising rents. Poles are more willing to rent from private institutions than from

an individual landlord. Despite the fact that institutionally rented apartments are slightly more expensive and rents have risen by around 20-30 percent in the last few months, they are willing to pay more for the professional property management.
Despite its dynamic growth in recent years, the Polish PRS is still in its infancy and accounts for only a small percentage of all units available on the domestic rental market. The prospects for its development are very promising - both for investors and potential tenants.
A question mark for the future of institutions renting apartments are the legal changes under way in parliament, which are intended to limit package purchases of apartments.

Echo Investment's achievements in the apartments for rent sector in H1 2023
In H1 2023, Resi4Rent, an entity offering a service of apartments on a subscription basis, strengthened its position as the market leader of the PRS market. This largest market-rate rental institution in Poland launched 344 finished apartments at Żwirki i Wigury Street in Warsaw in H1, increasing its offer to 3,342 finished and rented units in total in six major cities in Poland. It has also started construction of 843 apartments in three new locations - at Pohoski Street in Warsaw and Nowomiejska Street in Gdańsk. Thus, Resi4Rent
currently has 4,125 units under construction and another 1,408 with a planned start of construction in 2023.

According to Colliers analysts, after three years of plenty of completed projects a downturn in development activities has arrived. Since the beginning of 2023, there has been a gap in new supply in Warsaw. It was only in Q2 that three new office projects were delivered, totalling 18,700 sqm, all located in areas outside the city centre I.e. The Park 9 (11,000 sqm), Wał Miedzeszyński 628 (6,000 sqm) and Bohema building F Glicerynownia (1,700 sqm). The largest projects under construction in H1 included The Bridge (47,000 sqm), and The Form (30,800 sqm), which started in Q2, both of which are being developed in the centre of Warsaw.
While there is more space under construction, it is still three times less than in previous years. It is the aftermath of developers' decisions from two to three years ago, the lack of building permits and the difficulty in acquiring attractive plots of land. One further factor which limits the modern space supply is the growing trend of building redevelopments and modernisations. Older office projects are changing functions or being taken out of use during redevelopments and modernisations.
This is resulting in a widening supply gap and an intensifying competition
between tenants for these office buildings that are already available. In the case of new buildings, interested parties have to guarantee contracts long before completion - especially in high-quality office buildings with a profile that supports the implementation of the ESG aspects and confirms environmental sustainability, in prime locations.

According to JLL analysts, in H1 2023, developers focused on regional markets, which are growing steadily and show more new supply than Warsaw. By the end of June, 116,300 sqm of office space had been delivered in the regions. Most space was leased in Cracow (42,600 sqm), Wrocław (36,600 sqm) and Poznań (32,400 sqm). Among the largest transactions delivered in H1 included: Ocean Office Park B in Cracow (28,600 sqm), Centrum Południe 3 (20,300 sqm) and Brama Oławska (11,700 sqm) in Wrocław and Nowy Rynek E in Poznań (25,100 sqm). Tenants' current interest remains at a fairly high level. The demand is spread proportionally across the regional cities. Tenants attach importance to the ESG issue and the comfort of working from offices for their employees. In H1 about 54 percent of space was leased in office buildings up to five years old (existing and under construction).

The Echo Investment Group started H1 2023 with the sale of Moje Miejsca II in Warsaw, the second office building of the 'destination' mixed-use project. The transaction confirms the unwavering interest of both investors and tenants in sustainable projects offering both apartments and offices combined with services. On the other hand, the largest fit-out project completed by Echo this year was the new headquarters of the Archicom Group in the MidPoint71 building in Wrocław, designed by 3XA Architects. The Group has also
started the construction of another "destination" project - Towarowa 22 in Warsaw, office B (31,100 sqm).

The main activities around which CitySpace's operations were focused in H1 2023 were the preparations for the opening of the first flexible office in Łódź, the decision to expand in Wrocław, the preparation for the launch of a comprehensive customer satisfaction survey and the adaptation of offices across the network to meet the standard supporting ESG.

The Polish retail real estate market has recorded a good start of the year.
According to Cushman&Wakefield analysts, the first half of the year was marked by high footfall. In Q2 2023, it amounted to an average of 428,000 visitors per retail facility. Compared to Q1 of this year, the performance improved by 8.6 percent, and it increased by 3 percent yearon-year. The average turnover of tenants in May 2023 averaged PLN 1,037 net per sqm of space and was 3.8 percent higher compared to May 2022, but after taking into account rising inflation, the actual turnover was 9.2 percent lower year-on-year. The shrinking affluence of the Polish consumer's wallet and worsening sentiment are negatively impacting spending and thus tenant turnover in retail facilities. The structure of spending is also changing - the amount of money spent on goods and services outside the basket of basic goods is decreasing. The year 2023 will see rather negative retail sales dynamics, which may amount to approx. 5 percent.
H1 2023 brought an increase in rents for units in the best shopping centres and retail parks, which was largely the result of indexation of rates by inflation and resulted from provisions in lease agreements. Since the beginning of the year, nine new brands have appeared in Poland - Master Burger and Lush, Woolworth, Hugo, Helly Hansen, Nuumo and Bob Snail. The year 2023 may bring further debuts of brands such as Popeyes, and Fruitissimo.

retail space under construction, which includes, among others, 37 new facilities (including 30 retail parks) and 6 existing facilities to be extended
this is how much of modern retail space will be delivered in 2023

The strategy of strengthening the Libero Katowice and Galeria Młociny shopping centers, based on the continuous expansion of the offer and strong marketing support, is successful. Both centers are almost 100 percent occupied and record constant increases in footfall while increasing tenant turnover. Libero, as a "convenience" shopping center, has become a "neighbourhood gallery" close, comprehensive, offering many possibilities.
H1 2023 was a continuation of growth in both locations. Libero's turnover in
H1 2023 was 19 percent higher than in H1 2022 while its footfall grew by 8 percent. An equally good situation is observed in Galeria Młociny in Warsaw. Here, the turnover increased by 14 percent and footfall - by 9 percent.
Strategically, for Echo Investment, retail and service components are an element which strengthens the attractiveness of multifunctional "destination" projects such as the Warsaw Breweries or Fuzja in Łódź.

73 Financial report of Echo Investment S.A. and its Group for H1 2023
On 21 July 2021, Echo Investment S.A. entered into contracts with Nicklas Lindberg, the CEO of the Company and Maciej Drozd, the CFO specifying the terms of additional incentive compensation in the form of a long-term bonus. Such additional compensation conforms with the Remuneration Policy.
Nicklas Lindberg and Maciej Drozd obtained the right to a long-term bonus. The amount of it will depend on the growth in the Company's goodwill measured by the aggregate amount of dividend and the growth in the share price on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in annual evaluation periods. The contracts define the rules of determining the amount of the long-term bonus based on the growth in the average six-month price of the Company's shares calculated for one-year periods, increased by the dividend disbursed by the Company above the initial value of a Company share determined at PLN 4.34 per share. The right to the longterm bonus will be acquired in annual periods over the term of the program, i.e., from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2024, unless a material change in the shareholding structure of the Company occurs earlier. The amount of the longterm bonus depends on the growth in the value of the Company's shares, provided that the
amount of the long-term bonus (the "base value") does not exceed EUR 10 million for Nicklas Lindberg and EUR 5 million for Maciej Drozd if at the end of the five-year period the growth in the average six-month price of the Company's shares increased by the dividend disbursed during the term of the program exceeds the amount of the initial quotation of the Company's shares by PLN 5.80, i.e., if the aggregate amount of the disbursed dividend increased by the average six-month price of the Company's shares reaches the amount of PLN 10.14 per share. In case of a material change in the shareholding structure of the Company, in lieu of the average six-month price of the Company's shares, the basis for the calculation of the long-term bonus will be the price received for the Company's shares calculated on the basis of the price indicated in the transaction resulting in such material change in the shareholding structure.
The duration of the program may be extended by a two years (to a seven-year total), i.e., until 31 December 2026; in such case the maximum amount of the long-term bonus will be 125 percent of the base value if the average sixmonth price of the Company's shares increased by the dividend disbursed during the seven-year evaluation period exceeds the base value by PLN 7.25, i.e., the aggregate amount of the disbursed dividend increased by the average six-month price of the Company's shares reaches the value of PLN 11.59 per share.
The long-term bonus is to be disbursed in the form of the Company's shares (whether existing or of a new issue) annually, at the end of the evaluation period, and should that be impracticable, it will be disbursed as a lump sump in cash at the end of the five-year term (or the seven-year term, should the former be extended) of the program. In case of a material change in the shareholding structure of the Company, the long-term bonus shall be disbursed as a lump sum upon occurrence of such event.
The Contracts also define the detailed terms of the disbursement of the longterm bonus, as well as addressing a situation where a Management Board memberforfeits the right to receive the long-term bonus or a part thereof, in particular inthe event of causing damage to the Company or of taking actions that breach the elevant provisions of the law or the Company's in-house regulations.
On 15 June 2022, Echo Investment S.A. entered into contracts with Rafał Mazurczak and Małgorzata Turek, members of the company's management board and Waldemar Olbryk, president of the management board of Archicom S.A., the subsidiary of the Company specifying the terms of additional incentive compensation in the form of a long-term bonus. Such additional compensation conforms with the Remuneration Policy.
Under the contracts, Rafał Mazurczak, Małgorzata Turek and Waldemar Olbryk obtained the right to a long-term bonus. The amount of it will depend on the growth in the Company's goodwill measured by the aggregate amount of dividend and the growth in the share price on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in annual evaluation periods.
The contracts define the rules of determining the amount of the long-term bonus based on the growth in the average six-month price of the Company's shares calculated for one-year periods, increased by the dividend disbursed by the Company above the initial value of a Company share determined at PLN 4.07 per share. The right to the longterm bonus will be acquired in annual periods over the term of the program, i.e., from 31 December 2022 to 31 December 2025, unless a material change in the shareholding structure of the Company occurs earlier. The maximum amount of the long-term bonus (the "base value") does not exceed EUR 1 million for each of the participants if at the end of the four-year period the growth in the average six-month price of the Company's shares increased by the dividend disbursed during the term of the program exceeds the amount of the initial quotation of the Company's shares by PLN 5.60, i.e., if the aggregate amount of the disbursed dividend increased by the average six-month price of the Company's shares reaches the amount of PLN 9.67 per share. In case of a material change in the shareholding structure of the Company, in lieu of the average six-month price of the Company's shares, the basis for the calculation of the long-term bonus will be the price received for the Company's shares calculated on the basis of the price indicated in the transaction resulting in such material change in the shareholding structure.
The duration of the program may be extended by a further one years (to a five-year total), i.e., until 31 December 2026; in such case the maximum amount of the long-term bonus will be 112.5 percent of the base value if the average six-month price of the Company's shares increased by the dividend disbursed during the five-year evaluation period exceeds the base value by PLN 6.3, i.e., the aggregate amount of the disbursed dividend increased by the average six-month price of the Company's shares reaches the value of PLN 10.37 per share.
The other rules regarding the long-term bonus program for Małgorzata Turek, Rafał Mazurczak and Waldemar Olbryk are the same as in the case of Nicklas Lindberg and Maciej Drozd.

The Group's activities cover several segments of the real estate market. Accounting for sales of apartments depends on delivery dates of residential buildings, and revenue from this activity occurs basically in every quarter, but with varying intensity. Historically, the Group handed over the greatest number of apartments in the second half of the year, and particularly in the fourth quarter. Revenues and results from services of general execution of projects, sales of finished commercial projects and real estate trading may occur on an irregular basis. The Management Board cannot exclude other one-time events that may affect the results achieved in a given period.
From 1 January to 30 June 2023, no proceedings were pending before any court, arbitration authority or public administration authority which involved liabilities or receivables of Echo Investment S.A. or its subsidiary which represent at least 10 percent of the Company's equity.
The Company has no information on agreements concluded in H1 2023 between shareholders that would be important for its business.
In H1 2023, there were no material transactions between Echo Investment S.A. and its subsidiaries with affiliated entities on terms other than market conditions.
Echo Investment S.A. did not publish any forecasts of financial results.
In H1 2023, there are no material changes to the main management rules of the Company and the Group.
The Company is not aware of any agreements potentially resulting in changes in the proportions of shares held by existing shareholders or bonds held by existing bondholders.
Echo Investment Group has not yet identified any circumstances that could constitute specific risk factors resulted directly from the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation or the economic sanctions imposed on Russia and Belarus. Echo Investment S.A. and its group of companies do not conduct any activities in the territory of Ukraine, Russia or Belarus.
In the Group management's opinion, these events have an impact on the Group's activity as well as the financial and operating condition, however, this impact is indirect and combined with a number of other macroeconomic and geopolitical factors. The war and its immediate aftermath - sanctions in particular - contributed to instability in the global markets of energy resources and building materials, but the degree of this impact cannot be determined.
The Group monitors the potential impact of the war on operating activities, financial results and development
prospects. In particular, this includes monitoring the availability of workforce, prices and availability of major building materials and fuels. Currently, the risk of labor shortage is assessed as low. After a short period of turmoil, the situation on the building materials and fuels market stabilizes. At present, the Group has not identified specific risks that directly result from the war and significantly affect its operating activities, financial results and development prospects.
Due to the dynamics of the situation in Ukraine, the Group is not able to exclude new risk factors in the future that may affect the business, financial and operating situation. If such risks are revealed, Echo Investment S.A. provides information on new conditions that have a significant impact on the business, financial results or prospects, in a manner prescribed by law and to the extent required.
Risk management is an integral part of implementing the Profitable Growth Strategy and ensures achieving the assumed goals of the Echo Investment Group. Risk management procedures applied include risk identification, assessment, management and monitoring. The Management Board of Echo Investment S.A., in collaboration with the Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee, is responsible for overall risk management. The Management Board, supported by directors and managers responsible
for individual departments, oversees the risk management process by creating, implementing and analysing controlling systems and procedures that respond to the identified risks. The process is supported by the Internal Audit Department, which periodically assesses the functioning of the risk management system and internal controls and evaluates the effectiveness of the control procedures that identify significant risks.

Details regarding property sales transactions in H1 2023 are described in note 20.
In the statements as at 30 June 2023, the Group presented assets held for sale with a total value of PLN 152,126 thous. The closing balance of the reporting period included the office building City 2 in Wrocław.
In the current reporting period, additional expenditures were incurred on fit-out works for tenants of the investment property at Traugutta Street (the City 2 building) in the amount of PLN 4,226 thous. and the asset was revalued to fair value, decreasing the value of the item by PLN 238 thous. The sale of the project is still actively carried out and, in the opinion of the Management Board, its finalisation is highly probable within 12 months from the balance sheet date, a change in the sale plan is unlikely and the asset is available for immediate sale and offered at a price reasonable in relation to fair value, therefore the criteria required by IFRS5 are met and the classification in this balance sheet item is justified.
The investment property in Gajków with a fair value of PLN 1,400 thous. was sold for a price corresponding to its fair value and carrying value.
In the fair value hierarchy for investment properties classified as held for sale, the Group has assigned a level 3. Details are presented in chapter 03 "Material estimates and judgements of the Group's Management Board".

Loans were granted to legal entities in zlotys, with an interest rate of WIBOR + a margin or a fixed interest rate, and in euros - with a fixed interest rate. As at the balance sheet date, loans totalling PLN 327,742 thous. (after translating into zlotys) were granted to entities accounted for using the equity method: Galeria Młociny, Towarowa 22 and Resi4Rent, to be repaid between 2024 and 2031. The carrying amount of loans granted to other entities amounts to PLN 17,901 thous., to be repaid between 2023 and 2024.
The maximum credit risk associated with the loans is equal to their carrying value, but the Management Board takes into account that the borrowers are special purpose vehicles operating a real estate project, which is a source of potential recoveries. The Group's Management Board actively monitors debtors and assesses their ability to meet their loan commitments. In particular, this is done for loans granted to related parties, through which the Group is able to assess and identify loans where there is a significant increase in the credit risk. The Group's Management Board has not identified any such loans. The Management Board has also assessed the loans in terms of creating an allowance for expected credit losses and has assessed such an allowance as immaterial. The estimated fair value of the loans granted is approximately equal to their carrying value.

The "finished products" item includes mainly residential and commercial premises sold under final contracts.
The "semi-finished products and work in progress" item includes mainly real estate owned by the Group and expenditure on housing projects in preparation and implementation (eg. design services, construction works, etc. provided by external companies). Additionally, this item shows the right to use land (perpetual usufruct). The remaining value of the item relates to the expenditure incurred on the services of finishing the premises (fit-out). Due to the specific nature of the business, the purchased land, prepared for development, is presented as work in progress, and the newly purchased land as land.
The 'goods' item includes land earmarked for sale.
Inventories are valued according to the cost of production or purchase, but not higher than the obtainable net sales value. This value is obtained according to the current market prices obtained from the development market. The reversal of an inventory write-down occurs either in connection with the sale of an inventory or in connection with an increase in the net selling price. The amounts of write-offs of the value of inventories recognized as an expense in the period and the amounts of the reversal of write-downs of values decreasing the value of inventories recognized as income in the period are presented in the profit and loss account under "cost of sale".
The Group's Management Board reviewed the projects as at the balance sheet date and analyzed their operating cycle. In 2022 the Management Board has identified projects that go beyond the Group's standard operating cycle and decided to present them in the consolidated statement of financial position as long-term assets, under the heading "Land for development". In H1 2023, the Group's Management Board did not identify any projects that go beyond the standard operating cycle.
In accordance with IAS 23, the Group activates the portion of financial costs directly related to the acquisition and production of assets presented as inventories. The amount of financial expenses determined using the effective interest rate reduced by the income from the temporary placement of cash (i.e. the interest on bank deposits, except for deposits resulting from blockades of accounts or letters of credit) in the case of targeted financing contracted for a given construction project. In the case of leasing, interest costs on the leasing obligation related to a specific project are capitalized in the project cost (targeted financing). In the case of general financing, the overall financing costs subject to capitalization are determined by applying the capitalization rate to the expenditure incurred for a given asset.
The capitalised amount of borrowing costs for inventories amounted to PLN 8,488 thous. in H1 2023 (a capitalisation rate of 5.3 percent), while in H1 2022 it amounted to - PLN 3,919 thous. ( a capitalisation rate of 1.88 percent).
The value of inventories as at 30 June 2023 amounts to PLN 1,691 605 thous., including PLN 704,553 thous. to be sold within 12 months.

Inventory write-downs and reversals relate to residential projects and are intended to write down the value to the level of the realisable price.
The value of inventory recognised as revenue/expense in the period is included in the profit and loss account in the line "cost of sales".
The change in the inventory write-down up to 30 June 2023 amounted to PLN 78 thous. (30 June 2022 (-) PLN 293 thous.).
The reversal of impairment losses in H1 2023 mainly related to residential projects located in Poznań and Warsaw due to completed sales.

"In the consolidated statements of financial position, the item loans, borrowings and bonds financing properties held for sale presents obligations (bank loans, bonds, loans, profit share) related to projects held for sale and presented in the line assets held for sale. These obligations will not be transferred to the buyer of the assets but will be repaid by the Echo Investment Group from the proceeds arising from the sale of assets, whereas they are not shown as ""obligations relating to assets held for sale"".
As at the balance sheet date, this item includes the obligations financing the City2 project in Wrocław." "In the item loans and borrowings, the Group presents its special-purpose loans and used credit lines in current accounts. Loan agreements for project financing are secured primarily by real estate mortgages, assignments of receivables from concluded lease agreements, construction contracts, policies, and registered and financial pledges on shares, accounts and a collection of property and rights of subsidiaries. The interest rate on loans denominated in euro is based on the EURIBOR rate plus a margin.
Current and working lines of credit (with a value of PLN 148,175 thous.) are secured by declarations of submission to enforcement and powers of attorney to bank accounts. The interest rate on the loans is based on the WIBOR rate plus the bank's margin.
According to the best information and figures of the Management Boards of the Group companies, during the financial year, as at the balance sheet date and up to the date of signing the financial statements, there was no breach of the terms of the loan agreements and the agreed levels of collateral.
In the item debt securities, the Group presents issued bonds. The interest rate on the bonds is based on WIBOR plus a margin. The Group has also issued bonds in zlotys based on a fixed rate as well as bonds in euros which have a fixed interest rate.
The fair value of loans and advances payable does not differ materially from their carrying value. For listed bonds, their fair value was determined on the basis of listed prices at the balance sheet date, while for unlisted bonds their fair value was determined using the income method based on cash flows discounted at the current market interest rate. The discount rate (averaged over all valuations) amounted in H1 2023 to 10.46 percent. Fair value measurements for listed bonds were classified as Level 1 and for unlisted bonds as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy of the accounting standards.
For details on loans and bonds, please refer to section 01 of the Management Board Report Financial Liabilities of the Company and its Group.
The profit share is a share in the profit of the minority investor. It is the result of agreements entered into whereby the investor is obliged to pay the capital representing a share in the investment. The capital is contributed to the project entities in the form of a loan or an issue of participation bonds. When the project is sold, the capital is returned to the investor together with the profit share due (calculated as a sales price - costs). Profit share obligations are estimated for projects valued using the income method in proportion to the released result on the property. Hence, the first profit share obligation is created with the first valuation of the project at fair value.
The profit-sharing obligations were divided according to their maturity from the balance sheet date, i.e.: long-term, amounting to: PLN 14,276 thous. (PLN 14,820 thous. as at 31 December 2022) and short-term, amounting to: PLN 840 thous. (PLN 886 thous. as at 31 December 2022).

(PLN 26,946 thous. as at 31 December 2022), short-term in the amount of PLN 22,673 thous. (PLN 24,952 thous. as at 31 December 2022).
In execution of the preliminary agreement for the sale of shares and interests of 17 February 2021, on 22 April 2021 Echo Investment S.A. entered into a final agreement with Dorota Jarodzka-Śródka, Kazimierz Śródka and Rafał Jarodzki, the founders of the Archicom Group, for the sale of all shares of DKR Investment Sp. z o.o. (now DKR Echo Investment Sp. z o.o.) and all shares of DKR Invest S.A (now DKR Echo Invest S.A.). As a result, it indirectly acquired a block of 16,945,487 Archicom S.A. shares, which represented a total of approximately 66.01 percent of the share capital and entitled to 21,039,375 votes at the general meeting, representing approximately 65.99 percent of the total votes. Archicom S.A. is a public company whose shares are listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
In addition, in connection with the sale of the controlling stake in Archicom S.A., Echo Investment and Partners DKRA Sp. z o.o. (Dorota Jarodzka-Śródka and Rafał Jarodzki) have entered into an option agreement pursuant to which Echo Investment will be entitled to acquire until 18 April 2023, or designate an entity to acquire, all of the shares in the share capital of DKRA Sp. z o.o., which holds 8.31 percent of the shares in Archicom S.A., on substantially the same terms and conditions as the indirect acquisition of 66 percent of the shares in Archicom S.A. in the transaction of 22 April 2021. The consideration for such acquisition will be increased by the amount of interest accrued from 15 March 2021 to the date of exercise of the option agreement, calculated at an annual interest rate of 6 percent. In the event that Echo Investment S.A. does not exercise the right indicated in the call option, the shareholders of DKRA Sp. z o.o. will have the option to sell their shares in the share capital of that company to Echo Investment.
On this basis, 8.31 percent of the shares were recognised in the consolidated financial statements as shares acquired as part of the purchase price allocation and a liability to pay for these shares in the amount of the discounted redemption price was recognised in the consolidated financial statements under "Acquisition of shares", and the valuation effect was presented in the consolidated profit and loss account. The value at the date of initial recognition amounted to PLN 53,450 thous. (the nominal value).
On 18 April 2023, acting on the basis of the option agreement of 22 April 2021, Echo Investment S.A. exercised its right to purchase and acquired from Ms Dorota Jarodzka-Śródka and Mr Rafał Jarodzki all shares in the share capital of DKRA sp. z o.o. of Wrocław, which holds 2,132,964 shares in the share capital of Archicom S. A. of Wrocław, constituting in total 8.31 percent of the share capital of Archicom, entitling to a total of 4,246,578 votes at the Archicom general meeting, i.e. approximately 13.32 percent of total votes at the Archicom general meeting. The total amount of liabilities in respect of the acquisition of Archicom S.A. shares as at the date of exercise of the option amounted to PLN 60,702 thous.
The above transaction had an impact in the consolidated statement of financial position on the total settlement (reduction) of liabilities due to the purchase of shares and a reduction of equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent company, in the item ""retained earnings"" in the amount of PLN 3 916 thous. Liabilities from the acquisition of shares were settled by Echo Investment S.A.'s payment for subrogation of the loan granted to DKRA Sp. z o.o. by Ms Dorota Jarodzka-Śródka and Mr Rafał Jarodzki and offset against Archicom S.A.'s receivables from Ms Dorota Jarodzka-Śródka and Mr Rafał Jarodzki on the sale of shares in Archicom Polska S.A.

The preparation of the financial statements requires the Management Board of the Company to adopt certain assumptions and make estimates and judgments that affect the figures disclosed in the financial statements. Assumptions and estimates are based on the best knowledge of current and future events and activities, however, actual results may differ from those anticipated. Estimates and related assumptions are subject to ongoing verification. Change in accounting estimates is recognized in the period in which they were changed – if it concerns only this period, or in the current and future period – if the changes concern both the current and future period.
The main fields in which the Management Board's estimates have a material impact on the financial statements and key sources of uncertainty as at the balance sheet date are:
Investment real estate includes facilities leased to clients by companies which are part of the Group. The fair value of investment real estate is classified at level 2 and 3 in the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between the levels.
The Group most often measures properties at fair value during construction and / or commercialisation. The property valuation is based on the income method using the discounted cash flow technique, which takes into account future proceeds from rent (including rent guarantees), the sale of real estate and other expenditure to be incurred. The yield used to determine residual values recognized in cash flows result from the Management Board's estimates based on preliminary agreements for the sale of real
estate, letters of intent, external valuations of appraisers or their familiarity with the market. The rates used also take into account the risk, and the level of risk is assessed individually for each property subject to its status.
The fair value of real estate properties which are almost 100 percent commercialised and generate a fixed income is determined by the unit according to the income method, using simple capitalization technique as the quotient of the project's net operating income (NOI) and the yield, or using the value resulting from external valuation, a preliminary contract for the sale of real estate, a letter of intent or a purchase offer, provided they exist.

When selling investment projects, it happens that buildings are not fully commercialized at the time of sale. The price is calculated based on the expected NOI of the project, with the Group signing a contract to secure rentfree periods (master lease). The security of rental income (master lease) is estimated on the basis of information obtained from the leasing team of office projects, approved by the Board Member responsible for this business segment, regarding:
On this basis, the following is calculated: - for vacancies: the rent that would be paid by a potential future tenant, for signed contracts: rent holidays (if any).
The estimate is made from the balance sheet date for the period provided by the security of rental proceeds. In each calculated month:
Both the basic rent and service charges are calculated in this way, except that there is no rent holiday on service charges. The total of these values discounted as of the balance sheet date is the value of the obligations for securing rent-free periods (master lease). The obligations for securing rent-free periods (master lease) is calculated for projects sold.
As of 30 June 2023, the value of master lease obligations amounted to PLN 46,115 thousand for revenue security for rent-free or rent-reduced periods (master lease)
As at June 30, 2023, the value of the obligations for securing revenues for rent-free periods or periods with reduced rent (master lease) amounted to PLN 46,117 thous.
As at 31 December 2022, the value of the obligations to secure revenues for rent-free or reduced-rent periods (master lease) amounted to PLN 51,899 thous.
As of 30 June 2023, the value of liabilities due to contracts with clients regarding finishing works amounted to PLN 32,687 thousand.
As of 31 December 2022, the value of liabilities due to contracts with clients regarding finishing works amounted to PLN 46,760 thousand.
A profit share is a share in the profit of a minority investor. It is the result of agreements entered into whereby the investor is obliged to pay the capital representing a share in the investment. The capital is contributed to the project entities in the form of a loan or an issue of participation bonds. When the project is sold, the capital is returned to the investor together with the profit share due to the investor (calculated as sales price - costs). Profit-sharing obligations are recognised for projects valued using the income method in proportion to the profit released on the property. Hence, the first profit-sharing obligation is recognised with the first valuation of the project at fair value.
As at 30 June 2023, the value of the profit-sharing obligations amounted to PLN 15,116 thous.
As at 31 December 2022, the value of profit share obligations amounted to PLN 15,706 thous.
When estimating the amount of the write-down on inventories held by the Group as at the balance sheet date, information is analyzed according to the current market prices obtained from the development market, regarding the expected sale prices and current market trends, as well as information resulting from the preliminary sales agreements concluded by the Group.
Assumptions used in the calculation of the writedown are mainly based on valid market prices of real estate in a given market segment. In the case of land included in the item of inventories, the value of write-downs results from the suitability of the given land for the needs of the current and future operations of the Group estimated by the Management.
Data regarding write-downs updating the value of inventories to the net value possible to obtain and reversing write-downs on this account are presented in note 8.
The Group uses its judgment when selecting valuation methods and makes assumptions based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. In particular, concluded forward contracts and concluded option agreements are valued on the basis of valuations provided by banks, are based on the discounted cash flow method using observable data such as exchange rates, interest rates (WIBOR, EURIBOR).
As the interest rates on financial instruments are linked to the development of the WIBOR and EURIBOR rates, the Group's Management Board estimates that their fair value is approximately equal to their book value, including accrued interest.
As at 30 June 2023, the Group did not change the valuation principles for financial instruments, there were no changes in the classification or movements between levels of the fair value hierarchy. There is no difference between the carrying value and the fair value of financial instruments.
The Group recognizes deferred tax asset based on the assumption that tax profit will be achieved in the future and it will be possible to use it. This assumption would be unjustified if the tax results deteriorated in the future.
The Management Board verifies the estimates adopted for the probability of the recovery of deferred tax assets based on changes in the factors considered in determining them, new information and past experience.
The Group tested goodwill for impairment as at 31 December 2022 (relating to the joint venture - Galeria Młociny). As at 30 June 2023, the Group's Management Board re-examined the assumptions used in the test performed at the end of 2022 and found no need to change these assumptions. Consequently, the Management Board's estimate of the goodwill write-downs made did not change.
The Group performed an impairment test on the Archicom trademark as at 31 December 2022, as described in the 2022 annual consolidated financial statements. This test did not indicate any impairment of this asset. As at 30 June 2023, the Group's Management Board reviewed the assumptions used in the 2022 year-end test and found no need to change these assumptions. Consequently, the Management Board did not identify any indication of impairment of the Archicom trademark.
As at 30 June 2023, the Group has not changed its accounting policy or methodology for determining expected credit losses on trade receivables, loans and guarantees
granted and cash. In the opinion of the Management Board, the assumed default rates and default rates presented in the Echo Investment Group's annual consolidated financial statements for 2022 have not materially changed in H1 2023 and, as a result, have been applied to calculate the allowance for expected credit losses as at 30 June 2023. As a result, the estimate of expected credit losses has not materially changed compared to the figures in the Echo Group's annual consolidated financial statements for 2022.
The Group has a long-term incentive program that meets the definition of a program based on IFRS 2 "Share-based payment", to which the members of the Management Board and the CEO of the subsidiary Archicom S.A. are covered. As the Group expects to settle the program in the form of cash, the amount of the obligation and the cost were recognised in the period within general and administrative expenses, respectively. The valuation of the program is based on the "Monte Carlo" model and variables such as the share price, the period to the end of the program or the expected share price at the end of the program.

The maximum value of the credit risk associated with trade receivables does not differ materially from the carrying amount. The estimated fair value of trade receivables is the present value of future expected discounted cash flows and does not differ materially from the carrying amount of these receivables.
Receivables from related companies are not secured. In relation to affiliated companies, the credit risk, in the opinion of the Management Board, is minimised through the ongoing control of operations and the evaluation of investment projects of these companies. In the Management Board's opinion, by being able to monitor the operations of the subsidiaries and periodically confirming the profitability of their projects, the Company is able to evaluate the receivables for which the credit risk has significantly increased. The Company's Management
Board has not identified any such receivables, even with respect to receivables over 30 days past due, based on the evaluation of the subsidiaries' investment projects.
Trade receivables from other entities result from office and residential leases and providing investment development services and all other services. The Company monitors the condition and the payment capacity of its counterparties on an ongoing basis. There is no significant concentration of risk in relation to any of the Company's clients outside the Echo Investment Group. As at 30 June 2023, the Company estimated the value of the impairment allowance for trade receivables using a provision matrix developed on the basis of historical data relating to counterparties' payments of receivables.

IFRS 9, which replaced IAS 39, defines three categories of financial assets, depending on the business model in terms of asset management and the characteristics of cash flows resulting from the agreement:
Due to the fact that the interest rate on financial instruments is related to the WIBOR and EURIBOR rates, the Company's Management Board estimates that their fair value is approximately equal to the book value, taking into account accrued interest.
In response to the expected reform of benchmark interest rates (the IBOR reform), the International Accounting Standards Board has published the second part of the amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16. The amendments address accounting issues that will arise when financial instruments based on IBOR will be changed to the new interest rates. The amendments with effect from 1 January 2021 introduced a number of guidelines and exemptions, in particular a practical simplification for modifications to contracts required by the reform, which will be recognised by updating the effective interest rate, an exemption from the obligation to terminate hedge accounting, a temporary exemption from the need to identify a risk component, and the obligation to include
additional disclosures. The aforementioned changes were reviewed by the Company's Management Board and do not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or the scope of information presented in these half-year condensed financial statements. The interest rates on which the financial instruments are based are still published and comply with the BMR Regulation. The Company has not decided to early adopt any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been published but is not yet effective.
The National Working Group for benchmark reform (NGR), set up by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, is working on the implementation of a new RFR-type reference index, WIRON (Warsaw Interest Rate Overnight), which will replace WIBOR and WIBID. The Roadmap published by the NGR explains that the change is being made in accordance with the BMR Regulation as part
of the IBOR reform. The reform is planned to be completed by the end of 2024, with the implementation by market participants of a new range of financial products using the WIRON index planned for 2023 and 2024. The method of replacing the existing rates with WIRON will be regulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Finance planned for 2023, which will specify the replacement dates and the corrective spread.
The assumptions of the Roadmap also indicate that the WIBOR and WIBID reference rates will be discontinued from the beginning of 2025.
The Management Board is monitoring the introduced changes and, as at the date of the separate financial statements, is not in a position to clearly determine the impact of the reform.

Information on financial statement of the Company
201 Financial report of Echo Investment S.A. and its Group for H1 2023
The condensed standalone financial statement of Echo Investment S.A. presenting financial data for H1 2023, covering the period from 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023 have been drawn up in accordance with MSR 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" endorsed for use in the European Union. In order to fully understand the financial position and performance of the Company, as the parent company of the Echo Investment Group, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended on 31 December 2022. These consolidated financial statements are available on the Company's website, at www.echo.com.pl.
The condensed standalone financial statement of Echo Investment S.A. presents financial data for the 6-month period ending on 30 June 2023 and comparative data for the 12-month period ending on 31 December 2022 and for the 6-month period ending on 30 June 2022.
This financial statement was prepared with the historical cost principle with the exception of investment property, which was measured at fair value. The reporting currency in the financial statements and the functional currency of Echo Investment S.A. is Polish zloty (PLN). Unless indicated otherwise, all financial data in the Company's financial statements has been presented in thousand zlotys (PLN).
The statements have been drawn up according to the going concern principle as there are no circumstances indicating a threat to continued activity. The net working capital (current assets less current liabilities) for Echo Investment S.A. as at 30 June 2023 amounts to a negative level of PLN 110 million. However, the Company's Management Board does not see a threat to the continuation of its business, as the Company's stability should be considered taking into account the situation in the Echo Investment Group, i.e. together with its subsidiaries, through which a significant part of the business is carried out, and also taking into consideration the possible distribution of profits from the subsidiaries to Echo Investment S.A.
The Company drew up the Separate Financial Statement for the half year ended 30 June 2023, which was approved for publication on 20 September 2023. The Management Board of the Company has used its best judgment regarding the application of standards and interpretations, as well as the methods and principles of measurement of individual items of separate financial statements.

large portion of Echo Investment's transactions is concluded with related parties.
