The Compa- ny’s Management Board did not state such loans. The Management Board also assessed the loans in terms of making a write-down for expected credit losses and assessed such write-down as immaterial. The estimated fair value of the loans granted is ap- proximately equal to their carrying amount. | Financial statement 27 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 NOTE 9 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, construc- tion 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 pro- duction or purchase, but not higher than the obtain- able net sales value. This value is obtained according to the current market prices obtained from the devel- opment 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-os 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”.

In accordance with IAS 23, the Group activates the portion of financial costs directly related to the acqui - sition and production of assets presented as invento- ries. The activation concerns the amount of financial expenses determined using the eective 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 let- ters of credit) in the case of targeted financing con- tracted 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 activated amount of borrowing costs for inven- tories in 2020 amounted to PLN 7,267 thous. (capi- talization rate 1.04%) whereas in 2019 it amounted to PLN 7,630 thous. (capitalization rate 1,17%). The value of inventories as at December 31, 2020 is PLN 925,173 thous., including for sale within 12 months 502,065 thous. PLN.

Lease contracts signed by the Echo Group as a lessor assume monthly payments. The lease price depends only on the market price indexes. Where it is necessary to reduce credit risk, the Echo Group receives deposits or bank guarantees from tenants. The Echo Group is exposed to a decline in market lease rates, however, due to the fact that lease agree- ments are signed for periods of several years, the impact of such market changes is spread over time. | Financial statement 38 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 (A) Revenues related to property development – sale of residential and commercial space in residential projects The Group recognizes revenues when a obligation to perform a service is fulfilled. The obligation to perform the service is deemed fulfilled when the property is handed over to the buy- er, which is based on the acceptance protocol signed by the parties only after completion of the construction property and obtaining the occupancy permit, as well as provided by 100 % payments towards the purchase price of real estate made by the buyer. Agreements included within this income group do not include variable remuneration. Moreover, in the Group’s opinion, the concluded agreements do not contain a significant element of financing. Therefore, the Group, as a rule, does not show re- ceivables or other asset balances under contracts related to this group of revenues. Contractual obligations reflect the advance payments made by the customers. The table below presents changes in the balance of contractual liabilities in relation to this group of revenues.

As part of the sale of investment properties, the Group recogniz - es revenue when the obligation to perform the service is fulfilled, i.e. when the notarial deed is signed, which is the moment when the control over the property is transferred to the buyer. The Group recognises the amount of revenue in the amount of the price resulting from the transaction specified in the contract between the entity and the buyer. Its level is determined at the fair value, taking into account the amount of future liabilities resulting from the economic content of the concluded contract. The variable element occurring in this type of contracts (due to its dependence on future events) is the amount concerning rental guarantee. Despite the uncertainty, the Group is able to reliably estimate the cost that it will have to incur on account of the vacant space in the building in the period specified in the contract at the moment of conclusion of the contract. The Group creates provisions in this respect in accordance with IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”. This provision reduces the remuneration from the contract, and thus recognised revenues from its execution. The result on the sale of commercial real estate classified as investment property in accordance with IAS 40 “Investment Property” is presented in the statement of comprehensive income as Profit (loss) on investment property. Details regarding provisions recognised by the Group as at 30 June 2020 are presented in note 16. The Group recognises additional costs of concluding a sales agreement as an element of the profit and loss account, at the moment of recognising the revenue from the sale of an asset. Moreover, in the Group’s opinion, the concluded agreements do not contain a significant element of financing. The purchase price of the property obtained from the buyer is paid in full in such agreements at the time of the sale. Due to such character- istics of the contracts concluded, the Group, as a rule, does not show receivables or other balances of assets due to contracts related to this group of revenues. (C) Revenues related to lease Commercial buildings - shopping centres and oces, commis- sioned for use, and individual premises in residential projects for rent are a source of rental income for the Group. In accordance with IFRS 16 Leases, revenues from the lease of residential and commercial space are recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreements concluded. | Financial statement 41 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 (D) Revenues related to fit-out works As part of services conedted with construction of oce pro- jects, the market standard is to perform fit-out works of space before their occupancy by tenants. The Group provides fit-out works, which includes preparation and agreement of the scope of works, organisation and carrying out tenders for construction works, as well as supervision and coordination of construction works. The Group recognises revenues when the obligation to perform the service is fulfilled, i.e. during the service provision period. The remuneration resulting from the concluded agree- ments is permanent and due to the Group after handing over the oce space to the tenant. The duration of contracts is rel- atively short and ranges from 1 to 2 months. Moreover, in the Group’s opinion, the concluded agreements do not contain any significant element of financing. Due to such characteristics of the contracts signed, there are no significant balances of assets or liabilities under contracts, except for trade receivables (see note 10). The total value of revenues to be recognised in the future related to obligations to perform contracts for the implementation of fit-out works signed as at the balance sheet date on 31 Decem- ber 2020 is PLN 972 thous. These revenues will be recognised at the time of completion of works, which depending on the oce building is expected in the following periods: DEFERRED INCOME RESULTING FROM FITOUT WORKS AGREEMENT PLN ‘000 Building Tenant Date of execu- tion Value Sagittarius Business House, Wrocław Oras Olesno sp. zo.o. 2021/07 972 Total 972 (E) Revenues related to project implementation services As part of the investment implementation services, the Group provides services for the preparation and organisation of the in- vestment process with respect to development projects owned by other entities, entities associated with the Echo Investment Group and unrelated entities. As part of its responsibilities, the Group undertakes the performance of advisory, management, legal and other activities necessary to manage the implemen- tation of the investment. This process includes the preparation of investments, organisation and carrying out tenders for con- struction works, supervision and coordination of construction works as well as customer service. The Group recognises reve- nues when the obligation to perform the service is fulfilled, i.e. during the service provision period. The remuneration resulting from the concluded contracts is permanent and due to the Com- pany monthly. Moreover, in the Group’s opinion, the concluded agreements do not contain a significant element of financing. Due to such characteristics of the contracts signed, there are no significant balances of assets or liabilities under contracts, except for trade receivables (see note 10). | Financial statement 42 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 (F) Other revenues of the Group The Management Board analyzed the remaining contracts for the provision of real estate brokerage, accounting, legal, con- sulting, IT, financial, marketing and other services. The Group recognises revenues when the obligation to perform the per- formance is fulfilled, i.e. for certain contracts - at the end of the given type of service (e.g. signing a real estate sale agreement as a result of the intermediation service in the sale of real estate) or during the period of providing a given type of services (e.g. in the period of provision of accounting, marketing, consulting, legal or real estate management services). In most cases, servic- es are provided on a monthly basis and are accounted for in the same period, and the remuneration for the Group becomes due. For some contracts (e.g. real estate intermediation), the remu- neration resulting from concluded contracts contains a variable element, however, the nature of these contracts shows that the Group is entitled to the remuneration only when the contractual obligation is fulfilled. This means that the variable remuneration is known at the moment of recognising the revenue, and its value is not changed later. Moreover, in the Group’s opinion, the concluded agreements do not contain a significant element of financing. Due to such characteristics of the contracts signed, there are no significant balances of assets or liabilities under contracts, except for trade receivables (see note 10). (G) Income from the sale of rental apartments As part of the sale of real estate included in the Resi4Rent cate- gory, relating to the flat platform for rent, the Group recognizes revenue upon fulfilment of the performance obligation, i.e. when control of the property is transferred to the buyer. The Group recognizes the amount of revenue in the amount of the price resulting from the transaction defined in the sale and purchase agreement between the entity and the buyer. Its level is deter- mined according to the fair value of the payment, taking into account the amount of future liabilities resulting from the eco- nomic substance of the concluded contract. | Financial statement 43 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 NOTE 20 NET OPERATING COSTS PLN ‘000 1.01.2020 – 31.12.2020 1.01.2019 – 31.12.2019 Sale and lease of residential space (564 165) (401 728) Construction and lease of oce space (82 565) (57 459) Lease of retail space (21 923) (54 245) Sale to the Resi4Rent (273 049) (91 168) Other (27 321) (72 530) Total net operating costs (969 023) (677 130) COSTS BY TYPE PLN ‘000 1.01.2020 – 31.12.2020 1.01.2019 – 31.12.2019 Amortisation (11 738) (9 472) Consumption of materials and power (105 985) (119 880) Outsourced services (701 686) (751 413) Taxes and charges (18 573) (13 027) Payroll (47 409) (65 802) Social security contributions and other benefits (8 725) (10 441) Other costs by type (35 758) (61 858) Value of goods and materials sold - - Total costs by type (929 875) (1 031 892) Change in inventories, finished products and work in progress 171 456 (201 011) - - Administrative expenses related to execution of projects (33 163) (27 511) Selling and distribution expenses (29 855) (28 883) General and administrative expenses (69 291) (97 357) Cost of products sold (969 023) (677 130) | Financial statement 44 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 NET PROFIT ON INVESTMENT PROPERTY PLN ‘000 1.01.2020 – 31.12.2020 1.01.2019 – 31.12.2019 Profit on investment property (11 977) 16 597 Revaluation of property, including: 251 008 376 674 - asset on leasing IFRS 16 2 695 (3 839) Costs of profit share (10 045) 5 141 Net profit (loss) on investment property 228 985 398 412 NOTE 21 In 2020, the Group sold a plot of land in Pamiątkowo near Poznań and a plot of land in Koszalin.

(Galeria Młociny) On 31 May 2017 the Echo Investment Group together with the EPP Group concluded a purchase agree- ment concerning a property located in Warsaw at ul. Zgrupowania AK „Kampinos”. Under the conclud- ed transaction the companies purchased shares in Rosehill Investments Sp. z o.o., which is the owner of Galeria Młociny project by way of holding 100% shares in Berea Sp. z o.o.

As at the day of the acquisition and the balance date i.e. on 31 December 2020 the Echo Investment Group held 30% shares in the project company being the owner of the prop- erty and the remaining 70% was held by the EPP Group. Echo Investment S.A. and EPP N.V. are only responsible for their respective parts of the purchase price. The share of the Group in Berea Sp. z o.o. pre- sented in the financial report is estimated accord- ing to the equity method. Pursuant to the articles of association, all strategic financial and operational decisions (including in particular: purchase of a sig- nificant asset, conclusion of a lease agreement, etc.) require the unanimous consent of both shareholders. A summary of financial information in the joint ven- ture is presented below. The carrying value of the investment as at 31 December 2020 amounted to PLN 104,919 thous. In 2019, the company analyzed the impairment of net investment value based on the equity method in a jointly controlled company Rosehill Investments Sp. z o.o (projekt Młociny). In the first half of 2019, due to Galeria Młociny opening, the company updated the fair value of the project in the net assets of the jointly controlled entity. The company estimated that the recoverable amount of the net investment as at the balance sheet date is lower than the value of the shares in net assets as at that day. As a result, the company recognized an impairment loss of PLN 12,756 thous.

The classification of ingredients is made at the time of initial recognition. It depends on the financial in- struments management model adopted by the entity and the analysis of the contractual cash flow charac- teristics of these instruments. The application of IFRS 9 did not significantly change the classification of the Group’s finan-cial assets. As a rule, IFRS 9 does not intro-duce significant chang- es to the classification and measurement of financial liabilities, except for modifications that do not cur- rently result in derecognition of an existing financial liability. As a result of the application of IFRS 9, the classification of the Group’s financial liabilities has not been changed. Type of instrument Note Classication according to IAS 39 Classication according to IFRS 9 Carrying value as at 31.12.2020 Carrying value as at 31.12.2019 FINANCIAL ASSETS Long-term loans granted 8 Loans and receivables Amortized cost 198 901 112 508 Short-term loans granted 8 Loans and receivables Amortized cost 50 762 65 527 Trade receivables 10 Loans and receivables Amortized cost 85 683 120 090 Cash and cash equivalents 14 Loans and receivables Amortized cost 409 621 549 452 FINANCIAL LIABILITIES Liabilities from the issue of debt securities 17 Amortized cost Amortized cost 1 395 332 1 149 510 Trade liabilities 18 Amortized cost Amortized cost 404 405 331 476 Credits and loans 17 Amortized cost Amortized cost 1 412 972 820 161 Loans granted, trade receivables and other receiva- bles are measured by the Group at amortized cost, as two conditions are met for them: 1. assets are kept as part of a business model which intention is to maintain assets in order to obtain flows resulting from the contract; 2. contractual terms of these financial assets give rise to specified cash flows that are solely repay- ment of the principal and the interest on the un- paid part of the capital. In accordance with IFRS 9, as at each reporting date, the entity estimates the amount of the impair-ment loss in the amount equal to the expected credit loss- es: − in the next 12 months, if the credit risk associ- ated with a given instrument has not increased significantly since the initial recognition of the instrument; or − until the end of the expected maturity (the so- called period of life) of a given financial asset, if the credit risk associated with a given instrument has significantly increased since the initial recog- nition of this instrument and if there has been a default event, which is identified after 90 days from the maturity date. While determining the future expected credit loss, the Group considers all reasonable and confirmed information, including this that relates to the future. The Group will apply the permitted simplification of measurement of impairment on the basis of ex- pected losses over the whole life for all receivables. In case of trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach and therefore does not monitor changes in credit risk over their life, and estimates the impairment loss in the amount equal to the ex- pected credit losses over the life of receivables. The Group uses the matrix of provisions, made on the basis of historical data concerning repayment of re- ceivables by contractors, to calculate the value of the impairment loss on trade receivables. Additionally, the Group analyzes trade receivables and other re- ceivables on an individual basis with a high degree of probability of irrecoverability, in cases justified by the type of business or the structure of recipients - and recognizes a write-o at a reliably estimated value. Classification of an asset to this category is made on the basis of information about the current financial situation of the counterparty and information about other events that may have a significant impact on the recoverability of the asset. The impairment loss is updated on each reporting date. | Financial statement 59 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 NOTE 35 Activities of Echo Investment S.A. capital group since March 2020 has been exposed to a number of mac- roeconomic and environmental risks associated with the spread of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and COV- ID-19. The restrictions introduced by the government directly aected the course of business processes and the organization of the Group’s work. On March 17, 2020, Echo Investment S.A. published a current report on the potential impact of the pandemic on the Company’s operations, listing potential areas of impact and associated risks. The impact of a pan- demic is analyzed on an ongoing basis to adapt the strategy and method of operation to the changing restrictions. Securing the functioning of the company The introduction of restrictions on the functioning of the economy and society in mid-March 2020 result- ed in the vast majority of companies and organiza- tions — as far as possible — deciding to reduce their operations or switch to remote working (home of- fice) procedures. In the case of Echo Investment, the situation was monitored on an ongoing basis by the management sta and a crisis management center appointed in accordance with internal procedures. The company focused on the following activities: 1. Securing the possibility for employees to work remotely. 2. Securing the continuity of the company’s basic functions. 3. Securing the oces and construction sites with additional personal protective equipment. 4. Elaboration and implementation of emergency procedures. 5. Permanent, daily management teleconferences for ongoing risk analysis and decisions. 6. Elaboration and implementation of precaution- ary procedures after the personnel returns to the oces. 7. Accelerating the plan of digitization of business processes — primarily accounting and contracts. 8. The group also conducted a number of analyz- es and studies to learn about the preferences of customers, colleagues, university students (future employees) regarding remote work and the im- pact of the pandemic on the change in consumer preferences and behavior, which allows for adjust- ing the oer and marketing activities. Continuity of work on construction sites The most important task for the Management Board was to ensure the continuity of work on all construc - tion sites. The company has introduced additional emergency procedures at the construction sites in the event of an illness, and has equipped all the sites with personal protective equipment, antibacterial gels, masks and information materials. The Manage- ment Board also conducted daily monitoring of the number of employees on individual construction sites, and in the event of a threat to continuity, it was prepared to introduce additional employees to the construction sites. The state of supplies of mate- rials and the associated risks were monitored, a plan was implemented to secure supplies by anticipatory deliveries directly to the construction site, especial- ly as regards equipment and materials from abroad whose transport to Poland could be threatened or delayed due to the virus. As a result, all the construc- tions have maintained undisturbed activity. The company has established a business continuity plan for all construction sites. Teams on construction sites have been split so that two groups work in the same location, and if one team becomes ill, construc- tion continuity can be provided by a second team. Emergency cover on smaller sites, where it is not possible to split the team, is provided by teams from other projects or, as a last resort, by hired external teams. A strict sanitation regime is maintained on construction sites - limiting meetings, briefings held outside, social distancing, temperature testing, lim- iting visits by outsiders (mail carriers, couriers) to a separate area in the construction oce, disinfection and using medical devices to filter the air in the most exposed areas (e.g. meeting rooms).

Due to the expected reduction in demand for con- struction services in the future, the Management The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the operations of Echo Investment Group | Financial statement 60 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 Board has taken steps to reduce the costs of con- struction services and materials. Negotiations and a number of savings initiatives have been undertaken, as a result of which costs on individual projects are reduced by 5-10% compared to the initial budgets. The eects of these procedures are already visible when contracting subsequent construction works. There is a noticeable increase in the number of con- struction companies submitting tenders, which gives the contracting authorities a better negotiating po- sition. Group’s financial liquidity security The priority for securing the Group at the time of the lockdown and in the face of a potential economic slowdown was to secure financial liquidity. The Man- agement Board has undertaken a number of activi- ties to this end, such as, among others: − involvement of operating teams in planning the cash flow on a larger scale than before; − reviewing the budgets of all departments and re- ducing costs; − reducing new hires; − limiting employee benefits; − minimizing the number of days of outstanding leave to employees; − withholding of bonuses for employees in 2020; − exemption and deferment of payment of social insurance (ZUS) contributions; − deferral of payment of fees for perpetual usufruct of land, based on the so-called anti-crisis shields; − ongoing and constant analysis of proceeds from the sale of apartments; − ongoing and constant analysis of the balance of rent receivables in finished oce buildings and other receivables; − analyzing the land bank and commencing the pro- cess of selling real estate outside the main area of the company’s strategy; − halting or slowing down the construction of pro- jects at an early stage of construction that do not have secured tenants; − introducing the requirement of pre-selling apart- ments before the construction of a housing pro- ject begins; − reducing external costs, in particular for consul- tancy and marketing services; − discussions with banks to suspend or reduce pro- ject debt handling. Retail sector The most dicult time for the retail sector was the periods of the so-called “hard lockdown” - (March- April 2020, November 2020, January 2021, March 2021) when the operations of stores and restaurants in shopping centers was limited (except for grocery stores, drugstores, pharmacies, pet food stores and services). In case of the Echo Investment Group, this concerned the Libero shopping center in Katowice and Galeria Młociny in Warsaw (in which the Group holds a 30% stake). During the lockdown periods, the operations of most tenants in both facilities were very limited (only several percent of tenants were operating in Libero). Maintaining the activities of the remaining tenants required taking extra precautions, providing security materials, and maintaining the fa- cility’s service (security, cleaning, day-to-day opera- tions). “Defrosting” the tenants’ operations from the beginning of May involved the need to renegotiate leases and reach an agreement with the tenants on incurring losses incurred during the closing. Following the spring lockdown, shopping center owners, tenants and banks agreed on a compromise that would optimally distribute costs between ten- ants and lessors, with the long-term goal of restoring shopping center turnover and footfall to pre-pan- demic levels. Echo Investment immediately started to implement this agreement and signed appropriate annexes with tenants. Rapid actions brought very good results, fast growth in turnover and gradual return of customers. In line with its strategy, Echo Investment aims to reach an agreement with the tenants as soon as possible after each lockdown and to return Libero and Galeria Młociny to normal operations as soon as possible. Despite dicult negotiating conditions, both facilities were among the first to be fully oper- ational on the market after the spring lockdown. As a result of the pandemic, the list of tenants changed slightly by single service outlets, whose owners de- clared bankruptcy. Despite a number of restrictions and safety measures, the pace of customer return to both projects and turnover growth from June to Oc- tober were faster than expected. The historically high conversion rate (the ratio of visitors to transactions) demonstrated the responsibility of customers who come to the shopping centres for specific purchases. With the second and third waves of the pandemic, the government reimposed significant restrictions on tenants of shopping centres. About 25% of all tenants were operating in Libero. Echo Investment is in constant contact with all tenants. Agreements with tenants worked out after the first shopping centres’s closing assumed the possibility of further closings, but they only applied to 2020. Currently, Echo Investment is focusing on signing short-term 1-2 month agreements, based on the current situa- tion of tenants and their individual standings. Both managers of both shopping centres and their ten- ants are aware of the unpredictability of the situation in the long term. Both parties assume to return to negotiating long-term annexes in the middle of the year, when the situation regarding the end of the epidemic should be more predictable. Then it will be easier to assess the situation of individual tenants, their restructuring and development plans. | Financial statement 61 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 Both facilities are focused on marketing activities to strengthen brand awareness. Marketing actions in the first stage (until about the middle of the year) will focus only on increasing the turnover value, while only in the later stage they will be focused on activ- ities to support footfall. It is important that the vast majority of tenants focus on maintaining existing stores and innovative sales approaches. In order to minimize operating costs of shopping centres, steps have been taken to defer or cancel some payments (e.g. perpetual usufruct or real es- tate tax, principal and interest instalments on loans) and to optimize operating costs. Residential for sale and apartments for rent sectors Although regulations related to the pandemic did not limit the operation of sales oces, notaries and authorities, in practice, the sale of apartments was almost completely stopped during the second half of March. Clients returned to the analysis of the housing market and submitting their inquiries in the second week of April. Due to the already advanced work related to the digitalization of sales processes, Echo Investment’s salesmen were prepared for remote customer service: they could present their oers at online meetings and with the help of virtual reality tools, negotiate contract provisions in the CRM sys- tem or present the progress of construction work through cameras. The introduction of the pandemic state accelerated the implementation of further ele- ments of on-line service: a system for signing binding booking agreements or initial customer service using artificial intelligence. Taking into account new trends and customers’ needs, Echo Investment’s designers and vendors have introduced new solutions and facilities to their projects, which support sales. Depending on the project, these include applications allowing for con- tact-free entry into apartments (from the housing estate gate, in front of the main door and the ele- vator), the services of architects (who help arrange an apartment in such a way that oce space can be made easily accessible), special marking and training materials, washbasins or disinfectants in common areas (e.g. at playgrounds). Balconies, terraces, log- gias and gardens have also become more important for customers. Since June, the number of inquiries and meetings with potential customers has remained at a level similar to before the pandemic. However, custom- ers are still more cautious when making purchasing decisions. There is a noticeable increase in the num- ber of transactions for investment purposes, with no or little credit, which involves the desire to protect the capital after a series of interest rate cuts. Ready apartments and apartments with near commission- ing dates are bought more willingly. Clients pay more attention to security of transactions, which works in favour of large and capital-stable entities such as Echo Investment. The most sensitive group are cli- ents buying their first apartment, who depend on obtaining a credit, with relatively low income and low own contribution. Because of the uncertainty about macroeconomic developments and, therefore, about their personal financial situation, these clients prefer suspending transactions. The housing sector is also strongly aected by the tightening of banks’ lending policies. The initially tightened credit policy of banks was also of great importance for the housing sector, but this turned out to be temporary. Despite the in- troduction of restrictions in the economy, the sale of apartments in Echo Investment and the number of inquiries since summer 2020 has remained at a satisfactory level. Despite the increase in the num- ber of cases and the introduction of restrictions, the activity of customers is constant. As a consequence of the economic downturn, great- er caution and Echo Investment’s conservative poli- cy, new projects were being started on the condition of achieving certain level of pre-sale. On spring 2020 the company reduced its annual sales target to 1,400 apartments. Finally the company has sold (by pre- liminary agreement) 1,570 apartments and handed over to clients 1,505 units. Restrictions related to the pandemic did not have a significant impact on the operation of the Resi- 4Rent residential platform, in which Echo Investment has a 30% stake. Although in the first weeks of the restrictions introduced, the process of renting pro- jects was almost completely stopped, very quickly the interest of potential clients returned to normal. In line with the Management Board expectation, Re- si4Rent benefits from the pandemic situation, with slight decrease of rent rates expectations. Due to the increased uncertainty in the economy and higher requirements for taking out mortgage loans, a large number of potential apartment buyers postpone the purchase decision and take advantage of institution- al apartment rental. Oce sector The most important task in the oce sector was maintaining negotiations on leasing space in pro- jects built by the company and continuing the sales processes of the finished buildings. The rental de- partment is observing an elongation of decisions on the part of tenants, which is connected to the uncertainty about the future work system and the impact of remote working on companies. However, the potential tenants do not withdraw from negoti- ations. In the sales processes, the Group lowered its expectations concerning yields on future sales trans- actions and suspended the sale of some buildings. In Q1 2021 the Group has sold Villa Oces building in the Warsaw Brewery complex, what stabilised the long-term cash-flow. Promising sale negotiations are | Financial statement 62 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 also underway regarding the Malthouse Oces and Moje Miejsce oce buildings in Warsaw (signed let- ters of intent). The group also returned to sale pro- cess of the Face2Face oce buildings in Katowice (signed letters of intent). In order to meet the expectations of customers, new standards have been introduced to prevent the spread of the virus in oce buildings. From the be- ginning of the epidemiological threat, the team of Echo Investment experts has set the task of better securing employees of organizations that have locat- ed their oces in the buildings of Echo Investment. A number of solutions responding to post-covid needs have been compiled into the “healthy oce” program. Special air purification systems, dedicated application, tilt windows, the use of easy-to-clean finishing materials are just some of the points of the program. In addition to the solutions introduced at the stage of implementation and planning of the in- vestment, Echo Investment focused on securing the already operating oce buildings. The “five for safe- ty” program is a guarantee that these oce buildings are ready to receive employees returning to the of- fices. Echo Investment focused on key installations of building security: ventilation and air conditioning. Clean and healthy air for the new oce buildings of Echo Investment will be provided to tenants using the RCI ActivePure technology. The impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the operations and results of the Echo Investment Group in the future The occurrence of the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic after the balance sheet date and possible escalation of its course in the future may result in the need to revise certain assumptions adopted in the preparation of the financial statements, which may lead to changes in accounting estimates in sub- sequent reporting periods. The Management Board of the Company and the Group analyzed the areas related to the estimated values and areas in the fi- nancial statements that are aected by the situation. The results of this analysis indicate the following po- tential impact areas. It is possible that the continuation of the pandem- ic will limit the expansion of companies in Poland, which will result in a decrease in demand for oce space. This may result in a lower pace of new build- ings leasing and a decline in rental rates. This situ- ation may lead to a slowdown of the construction of buildings at an early stage of construction and a fair value decrease of completed buildings. In the case of buildings that are ready, due to their fair val- ue decrease, in an extreme situation, the covenants provided for in loan agreements may be broken and the need to repay part of the loan faster. When it comes to completed buildings, the pandemic may also lead to lower investors’ interest in purchasing such buildings and, as a consequence, to postponed sale of them. The Management Board of Echo Investment also indicates that in the case of shopping centers: Libe- ro in Katowice and Galeria Młociny in Warsaw (in which the Group holds a 30% stake), the develop- ment of the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns may result in bankruptcy of some tenants, which in practice may mean termination of some lease agree- ments . The consequence could be a reduction in the rental ratios, future revenues and the fair value of both projects. The consequence of such a situation may be the breach of covenants provided for in the loan agreements and the need to repay part of the loan faster. Moreover, if further restrictions on the activities of shopping centers are introduced, rental income may be lost, which may also lead to a reduc- tion in value and violation of covenants. At this stage, the Company is not able to reliably estimate the impact of the above events on the value of investment properties, as the situation is changing day by day. In the Management Board opinion, in the moderate scale of the pandemic, the LTV covenants, which are the ratio of bank financing to the market value of real estate, are not endangered. Neverthe- less, the Management Board would like to point out that the pace of renting oces recorded before the epidemic was faster. The prolonged pandemic and possible new restric- tions may slow down the sale of apartments or discourage some potential clients from concluding transactions. It could lead to a lower than planned sale of apartments, which will translate into lower revenues and shifting the realization of revenues and profits from the sale of apartments to the following years. Due to the short observation horizon, the Manage- ment Board is not able to accurately estimate the impact of the COVID epidemic on the operations of the Company and the Group in subsequent peri- ods. Currently, the oce buildings built by the Group are provided with financing. Residential projects are mainly financed by prepayments from clients. At the end of 2020, the Group had over PLN 320 million in cash in its accounts. In Q1 2021, the Group sold the Villa Oces building in Warsaw, the sales process- es of further assets held for sale within the next 12 months from the balance sheet date are processing as planned. In Q1 2021, the Company also placed bonds with a total value of PLN 195 million. Taking all above into consideration, the Management Board does not currently identify a significant threat relat- ed to the impact of the development of the coro- navirus epidemic on the Company’s liquidity or its ability to continue operation, despite the expected need to pay for a controlling stake in Archicom in the coming weeks. The Management Board monitors the potential impact on an ongoing basis and takes all possible steps to mitigate any negative eects for the Group.

Amendments to various standards “Improvements to IFRS (2018-2020 cycle)” – changes made as part of the procedure of introducing annual improvements to IFRS (IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41) aimed mainly at resolving inconsistencies and clarifying the vocabulary (changes to IFRS 1, IFRS 9 and IAS 41 The standards are eective for annual periods be- ginning on or after January 1, 2022. Amendments to IFRS 16 concern only the illustrative example, and therefore the eective date is not provided. According to the Group’s estimates, the above-men- tioned new standards and changes to the existing standards would not have a significant impact on the financial statements, if they had been applied by the Group as at the balance sheet date. Hedge accounting of the portfolio of financial assets and financial liabilities, the principles of which have not been approved for use in the EU, still remain outside the regulations approved by the EU. According to the Group’s estimates, the application of hedge accounting for the portfolio of financial assets or liabilities in accordance with IAS 39 “Fi- nancial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” would not have a significant impact on the financial statements, if applied as at the balance sheet date. | Financial statement 72 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 Main accounting principles The most important accounting principles applied in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below. These rules were applied in all pre- sented periods in a continuous manner unless stated otherwise. FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY AND CURRENCY OF PRESENTATION Items in the financial statements of each Group’s entities are presented in the main currency of the economic environment in which given subsidiary op- erates (functional currency). The Group’s financial statement is presented in the Polish zloty (PLN) – the presentation currency and the functional currency of the parent company. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the ex- change rate eective on the transaction or measure- ment day when items are revalued. Gains and losses arising from the settlement of such transactions and measurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. The Group comprises entities with a functional cur- rency other than PLN. The reporting data of those companies included in these statements have been converted to PLN in accordance with IAS 21, ex- cluding capital items, that should be recalculated according to historical currency exchange. Balance sheet items are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet, the profit and loss account items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period (unless this average is not a reasonable ap- proximation of cumulative eect of the rates eec- tive on the transaction days – in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the trans- action days). The resulting exchange dierences are recognised in other comprehensive income and the cumulative amounts are recognised in a separate component of equity. In the moment of the foreign entity disposal, its accumulated currency dierences recognised in equity are recognised in profit and loss account as profit on disposal. LEASING e Group as a lessee In order for a contract to be classified as a leasing agreement, the following conditions must be met: − the contract must relate to an identified asset for which the supplier does not have a significant converting right − the contract should give the beneficiary the right to control the use of the identified asset for a specified period of time. This means that the user has the right to take advantage of the economic benefits of using a given component and the right to decide on its use − the contract must be payable. The Group applies the following simplifications, based on not including the lease liability: − short-term lease - a short-term lease agreement is a contract with no option to purchase an asset, concluded for a period shorter than 12 months from the beginning of the contract − low-value lease - the basis for the assessment of the „low” value should be the value of the new asset. The Management Board of the Group has decided that this applies to lease agreements re- garding assets whose value did not exceed PLN 15,000 (when new), which can be treated as the upper limit of recognition as a low value item. The Group recognizes the right of perpetual usu- fruct of land granted by administrative decisions as a leasing contract. This applies to all land, including those related to development projects presented as inventory. If lease and non-lease components are identified in a contract, the Group chooses a practical solution according to which it recognises each lease compo- nent and any accompanying non-lease components as a single lease component. In addition, in the case of a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics, the Group applies the standard to the entire portfolio when it reasonably expects that the impact that the application of this standard to the portfolio will have on the financial statements will not be significantly dierent from the impact of applying it to individual leases under this portfolio. | Financial statement 73 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 The duration of the lease contract is defined as the irrevocable duration of the lease contract including also possible periods of renewal of the lease contract if the lessee is reasonably certain that the lessee will use this option and possible periods of notice for the lease contract if the lessee is reasonably sure that this option will not be used. At the time of the first recognition, the Group recog- nises the lease liability measured at the current value of lease payments due to the lessor over the lease period dis-counted at the lease rate, and if it is not available, at the marginal lending rate typical for a given asset. Lease payments include: − fixed payments less any incentives due; − variable lease payments, that depend on the in- dex or the rate, initially priced using the index or the rate eective as at the starting date of the contract; − amounts whose payment by the lessee is expect- ed within the guaranteed residual value; − the exercise price of the purchase option, if it can be assumed with sucient certainty that the les- see will use this option; − penalty payments for termination of the lease, if the lease terms reflect the exercise by the lessee of the option to terminate the lease. At the same time, the Group recognises an asset for the right to use in the same amount as a liability, adjusted for all lease payments paid on or before the start date, less any lease incentives received and increased by any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee. After the initial recognition, the Group recognizes a lease liability by: − increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on a lease liability, − reducing the carrying amount to reflect lease pay - ments paid, and − updating the carrying amount valuation to take account of any reassessment or change in the lease, listed below (changes in the lease contract), or to account for substantially constant − lease payments. Changes to the lease agreement that make it nec- essary to update the value of the liability include: − a change in the leasing period, − a change in the assessment of the call option of the underlying asset. For the above changes, the Group uses an updated discount rate: − a change in the amount expected to be paid under the guaranteed final value, − a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in the index or rate used to set those payments, including, for example, a change to take into account changes in rental rates in the free market following a review of those rentals. The Group applies an unchanged discount rate, unless the change in lease payments results from changes in variable interest rates. In that case, the Group shall use a revised discount rate that reflects changes in the interest rate. The Group shall recognise the amount of the remeas- urement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Group recognizes the remaining amount of the revaluation in the result. After the date of commencement of the lease, the asset under the right of use is measured at cost less total depreciation and amortization (impairment) and total impairment loss and the revised lease li- ability adjusted for any revaluation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. If the lease agreement transfers to the Group the title of the asset before the end of the lease period or when the cost of the asset due to the right of use reflects the fact that the Group will exercise the option to buy the residual value of the leased asset, the Group depreciates the asset from the right of use from the moment of commencement of the leasing contract until the end of the estimat- ed economic useful life of the asset. In other cases, the Group depreciates assets due to the right of use from the date of commencement of the contract to the earlier of two dates: the date of the end of the economic life of the asset or the end date of the lease. For lease contracts, the subject of which is an asset which, in accordance with the Group’s account- ing policies, is measured at fair value, the Group does not depreciate such assets due to the right of use but measures them at fair value. The Group has decided to include assets due to the right of use in the same line of the statement of fi- nancial position, in which the corresponding leased assets are presented when they are the property of the Group. Liabilities are presented appropriately in long-term - when the asset due to the right of use is classified as a fixed asset, investment property or in- vestment property under construction, or short-term - when perpetual usufruct concerns assets classi- fied as inventory. The Group classifies assets due to the right of use resulting from contracts / decisions issued to the following balance sheet items and ap- plies the appropriate accounting policy for certain items: | Financial statement 74 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 Contract type and presentation in the balance sheet Valuation method as at the balance sheet date Impact on the income statement Oce space lease agreements: – investment property, or Valuation at fair value Ye s – fixed assets Depreciation Yes Rental agreement on means of transport: - fixed assets Depreciation Yes Perpetual usufruct of land: – investment property, or Valuation at fair value Ye s – investment property under construction, not valued at fair value, or Depreciation with simultaneous capitalization of depreciation costs in the value of investment property under construction No – fixed assets Depreciation Yes inventory Depreciation with simultaneous capitalization of depreciation costs in inventory Yes Lease liabilities are covered by IFRS 9 with respect to determining when these liabilities meet the cri- teria for removing them from the balance sheet. A liability in accordance with IFRS 9 par. B.3.31-B.3.34 is removed from the balance sheet once it has been settled, expired or the debtor has been legally re- leased from debt, e.g. by transferring the debt to an - other party. The right of perpetual usufruct of land, in relation to which the Group is legally released from the debt arising from the obligation to pay fees for perpetual usufruct or transformation fees only at the time of legal (notarial) transfer of a share in the land belonging to the premises sold to the buyer, is a spe- cial case. Therefore, until the transfer of the above ownership, the liabilities of the lease of land, as well as the corresponding assets due to the right to use the land in perpetual usufruct, remain on the balance sheet, although in accordance with the policies de- scribed in section 20. Methods for determining the financial result, revenues from the sale of residential and service premises are recognized when the prop- erty is delivered to the buyer. For this reason, when the premises are transferred to the buyer (which is also the moment when the proceeds from the sale of the premises are recognized), a portion of the related leasing asset is transferred from inventory to receivables from the buyer, in the amount corre- sponding to the recognized liability for the leasing of the given land. Until the (notarial) transfer of the property to the purchaser, both the receivable and the liability are disclosed as short-term, because they will be settled by transfer to the buyer dur - ing the “operating cycle”. On the date of transfer of ownership to the buyer, the liability for land lease and receivables from the purchaser of premises are de-recognised through the cost of sales. e Group as a lessor In the case of contracts where the Group acts as a lessor, each lease contract is classified as operat- ing or finance lease. Lease agreements under which the lessor retains a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased asset are classified as operating leases. A leasing contract is classified as a financial leasing if, as a result of this contract, substantially all of the risk and rewards of ownership of the leased asset are transferred to the lessee. In the case of operating lease agreements, the Group recognizes lease revenues on an on-going basis in the statement of comprehensive income. In the case of finance leases, the Group de-recognises the asset that is the subject of the agreement while recognizing the lease receivable. Sub-leasing - a transaction for which an underlying asset is re-leased by a lessee (‘intermediate lessor’) to a third party, and the lease (‘head lease’) between the head lessor and lessee remains in eect. The Group classifies sub-leasing as follows: − if it was decided to choose a short-term lease ex- emption for main lease, subleasing is classified as operating lease − otherwise, sub-leasing is classified in relation to the asset due to the right to use the principal lease and not the underlying asset. − If the sub-lease agreement is classified as operat- ing lease, the indirect lessor (the Group) continues to recognize the lease liability and asset due to the right to use of the main lease. At the same time, it recognizes sublease leasing revenues on an ongoing basis. − If the sub-lease agreement is classified as financial lease, the indirect lessor (the Group): − ceases to recognize the asset due to the right to use the main lease as at the date of the initial sub-lease agreement; − recognizes the net investment from sub-leasing instead and assesses it for impairment (lease re- ceivable); − continues to recognize the original lease liability. | Financial statement 75 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment include fixed assets owned by the Group. The composition of the Group’s fixed assets include: − real estate (not leased and not intended for trade) used by the Group; − plant and machinery; − vehicles; − other complete and serviceable items with an ex- pected service life of more than one year. Fixed assets are valued and presented in the state- ment according to purchase prices or production costs, less depreciation and impairment write-os. Fixed assets are posted on collective accounts ac- cording to the groups of the Classification of Fixed Assets and a detailed register of fixed assets is kept. Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method of tax rates. Subsequent expenditure is in- cluded in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset (where appropriate) only when it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company from the item and the cost of the item can be reliably measured . All other repair and mainte- nance expenses are charged to the profit and loss account in the financial period in which they were incurred. Property, plant and equipment are verified for im- pairment if events or changes in circumstances indi- cate that the carrying amount may not be realizable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset or cash-gen- erating unit exceeds the recoverable amount and is recognized in the profit and loss account. The re- coverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Gains and losses on disposal of fixed assets, repre- senting the dierence between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the fixed asset sold are recognised in the profit and loss account under other operating income / expenses. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES, INVESTMENT PROPERTIES UNDER CONSTRACTION Investment properties include properties owned by the Group which are leased out together with land directly related to these properties, as well as land purchased and maintained in order to increase their value. Investment properties under construction are investments carried out by the Group intended for lease and under construction. The Group classifies investment properties under construction as invest- ment proper-ties when they are available for use. Investment properties are initially recognized at purchase price / manufacturing cost. Subsequent expenditure is included in the carrying amount of the investment property or recognized as a sepa- rate investment property (where applicable) only when it is probable that an economic benefit will flow to the Group from the item and the cost of the item can be reliably measured. . All other repair and maintenance expenses are charged to the statement of comprehensive income in the financial period in which they are incurred. The value of investment properties under construction includes costs directly related to the project not yet completed. They con- sist of expenses incurred for the purchase of land real estate, outlays for the design and implementa- tion of buildings (mainly external services), activated financial costs and other costs incurred during the implementation directly related to the investment. After the initial recognition, as at each balance sheet date, investment property under construction that meets the premises for their valuation, and invest- ment property are disclosed at fair value. The fair value measurement is updated at least quarterly. Profits or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognized in the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise. The result on the valuation of investment prop - erties is presented in the profit / loss on investment property item. The result on the valuation of investment proper- ties is presented in the profit / loss on investment property item. For real estate under construction, the premises for valuation are deemed to be met in the case of pro- jects where a significant part of the risks related to the construction process has been eliminated and it is possible to measure reliably at fair value. In other cases, when it is not possible to reliably determine the fair value, the value of real estate under con- struction is valued according to the purchase price or production cost less impairment losses. The Group has specified the conditions under which it begins the process of analyzing whether significant risks relating to investment properties under construction have been eliminated. These conditions include: − obtaining a building permit, − contracting construction works with a value of at least 30% of the investment budget, − renting at least 20% of the area in the project un- der implementation. The presented conditions constitute the boundary criteria of the analysis. Each in-vestment property under construction is analyzed individually in terms of the possibility of obtaining a reliable valuation to fair value, taking into account, in addition to the conditions described above, also the general eco - nomic and market situation, the availability of data for similar properties and expectations regarding the volatility of factors underlying the valuation and the method of financing. investment project. The fair values of land and buildings measured at fair value are updated in such a way as to reflect the market conditions prevailing at the end of the re- porting period. The fair value is the price that would have been received for the sale of an asset or paid | Financial statement 76 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 for the transfer of a liability in a transaction between market participants carried out on normal conditions at the valuation date. Property fair values are sub- ject to verification by internal Analyse Department in cooperation with the Management Board, based on transaction concluded on active market, oers, preliminary agreements, knowledge and experience, or based on external valuations prepared by experts. As a rule, valuations of oce real estate, for which the Group carries out an active sales preparation process, are prepared internally, based on available market data, in particular a level of discount rate (yield) discussed with po-tential buyers, and based on levels of rent and other rental conditions. The discounted net cash flow (DCF) method is used to determine the fair value. In the case of in-vestment property under construction, the valuation is re- duced by the discounted expenditure necessary to complete the investment, taking into account the development margin. At the time the property is measured at fair value, the Group recognizes at the same time the provisions related to real estate for securing rent-free periods, which granted and/or due to profit share in the event of contractual arrange- ments providing for the profit share of the sale of the property of other parties. Provisions for securing rent-free periods include all expected future pay- ments related to acquiring tenants that the Group expects to pay economically, i.e. primarily costs of rent-free periods (periods with reduced rents), costs of fit-out work to be carried out, costs other leasing incentives for tenants and costs of agents. Recog- nized provisions for projects sold adjust the result recognized on the valuation of investment property presented under “revaluation of immovable proper- ty “, and for projects sold - under “profit / loss on the sale of the property”. The values expressed in EUR and USD are converted every quarter accord- ing to the current exchange rates published by the National Bank of Poland. In the event of a change in the use of the property, it shall be appropriately reclassified in the financial statements. The property is transferred and recognized in the item of property, plant and equipment or inventory at the previously disclosed carrying amount. The result on the sale of investment property is recognized under ‘profit / loss on investment property’. The Group transfers investment properties to a category of assets held for sale only when the property is sold outside the ordinary operating cycle. This is due to the adopt- ed strategy of the Echo Investment Group, accord- ing to which real estate is maintained by the Group and sold at the best moment - in the opinion of the Management Board - that takes into account expec- tations regarding return on invested capital, avail- ability of capital for other investments, as well as basing the decision on the market situation and ex- pectations for its further development. The Group’s goal is to build properties and increase their value through active management of investment projects. Therefore, the Group classifies investment projects as investment properties (or investment properties under construction) and reclassifies them to assets held for sale only in rare situations. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE Assets (or a disposal group) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount is recovered principally through a sale transaction and not through its fur- ther use. This condition is considered to be fulfilled only when the occurrence of the sale transaction is very likely and the asset (or the disposal group) is available for immediate disposal in its current state (in accordance with generally accepted commercial terms). Classi-fication of an asset as held for sale as- sumes the intention of the company’s manage-ment to make a sale transaction within one year from the change of classification. They are valued at the lower of the following two amounts: their carrying amount and fair value minus costs of disposal. INVENTORY The item of inventories comprises: semi-finished products and work in process, finished products, and goods. Due to the specific nature of the activity, pur- chased land prepared for development is presented as work in progress, and land freshly purchased as land. The work in progress includes also the expens- es incurred over the process of construction of facil- ities and sites for sale (design services, construction works, etc. provided by external contractors). Fin- ished products mainly include residential and busi- ness premises completed and sold under final sale contracts. The goods include land intended for sales. The inventories of tangible items of current assets are measured at the value corresponding to the purchase price of land and the cost of production of developers’ business products increased by ac- tivated financial costs, being not higher than the net realizable value. This value is collected based on market transaction prices in the residential real estate market. Reversal of impairment loss of inven- tories appears either on the sale of inventories exor due to increased net sales price. Both the amount of write-downs of inventories recognised as an expense in the period and the amount of any reversal of any write-downs decreasing the value of inventories rec- ognised in the period as reduction in cost are stated in the profit and loss accounts under sales cost. FINANCIAL ASSETS In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories: − financial assets measured at amortised cost, − financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, − financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The classification of assets takes place at the mo- ment of initial recognition. It depends on the finan- cial instruments management model adopted by the entity and analysis of the characteristics of contrac- tual cash flows from these instruments. | Financial statement 77 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 Loans granted and restricted cash that are not in line with a definition of cash equiva-lents in accordance with IAS 7 “Cash flow” (i.e. collateral for bank guar- antees and funds accumulated on open residential fiduciary accounts) and trade receivables and other receivables are measured by the Group at amortized cost, as two conditions are met for them: assets are held under a business model whose intention is to hold assets in order to obtain contractual flows and the contractual terms of these financial assets create cash flows at repetitive times that are only repay- ment of principal and interest on outstanding capital. Assets are recognised on the transaction date, and derecognised upon the expiry of the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial asset or where a financial asset is transferred along with all risks and benefits of ownership thereof or when the asset is significantly modified. The Group applies the weight- ed average purchase price as the valid method of expenditure in the area of financial instruments. If the renegotiation or other type of modification of the contractual cash flows generat-ed by the finan- cial asset results in its derecognition in accordance with IFRS 9, the modified instrument is treated as new. In the event of a renegotiation or other mod- ifi-cation of the contractual cash flows generated by a given asset that does not result in derecogni- tion, the Group revalues the gross carrying amount of that financial asset (i.e. the amount of its amor- tized cost before allowance for credit losses). The revalua-tion is the discounting of the new expected contractual cash flows (after modification) using the original eective interest rate. The resulting dier- ence is recognized as profit / loss in profit or loss. From that moment on, the Group assesses whether the credit risk of a given financial instrument has increased significantly after its initial recognition, by comparing the credit risk as at the date of the finan- cial statements (under the modified terms) with the risk at initial recognition (under the terms before the modification). RECEIVABLES Trade and other receivables are recognized in the balance sheet at transaction price and then at amor- tized cost using the eective interest method, reduc- ing them by im-pairment losses. When the dierence between the value at amortized cost and the value of the amount of the payment required does not have a significant eect on the Company’s financial results, such receivables are recognized in the balance sheet as the amount of the payment required. The value of receivables is updated taking into ac- count the degree of probability of their payment by making a write-down. The rules for creating revalu- ation write-os are described below in the section Impairment of financial assets. Advances for deliveries are valued according to cash disbursed and in accordance with received VAT in- voices documenting the granting of advance pay- ments. LOANS GRANTED Loans granted are Debt Instruments held for the pur- pose of obtaining contractual cash flows that consist solely of principal and interest repayments (“SPPI”). These assets are booked under at the date of the transaction, and derecognized when the contractual rights to cash flows from a financial asset expire or when the financial asset is transferred along with all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset. Loans granted are recognized as at the date of en- tering the books at fair value plus transaction costs, then as at the balance sheet date at amortized cost determined using the eective interest method. The rules for recognition of impairment write-downs are described below in the sec-tion Impairment of financial assets. LOSS OF VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS (‘ECL’) Pursuant to IFRS 9, as at each reporting day, the Group estimates the amount of the impairment loss equal to the expected credit loss (‘ECL’). The Group calculates the write-o as follows for individual asset categories: Trade receivables The Group uses a simplified approach and therefore does not monitor changes in credit risk during its lifetime and measures the impairment loss in the amount equal to the expected credit losses (‘ECL’) over the life of the debt. To calculate the value of the impairment loss for trade receivables, the Com- pany uses a provision matrix made once a year as at December 31 based on historical data regarding the payment of receivables by contractors. Impairment losses are updated as at each reporting day. The provision matrix is based on the analysis of the pay- ment of receivables in indi-vidual past due groups and determining the probability of non-payment of receivables from a given age range based on his- torical data. For the purposes of the analysis, trade receivables are divided into two groups: receivables from the sale of apartments, the lease and other re- ceivables. The calculated probability of non-payment of receivables in each of the past due groups for specific categories of receivables is applied to the current balance of receivables in each of the past due groups and the write-o for the expected credit losses of receivables is calculated. | Financial statement 78 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 Additionally, the Group analyzes trade receivables and other receivables on an individual basis with a high degree of probability of irrecoverability, in cases justified by the type of business or the structure of recipients - and recognizes a write-o at a reliably estimated value. Classification of an asset to this category is made on the basis of information about the current financial situation of the counterparty and information about other events that may have a significant impact on the recoverability of the as- set. Such receivables are excluded from the matrix analysis, and a possible write-o is recognized on the basis of an individual analysis. Loans granted and covered bonds The Group calculates the expected credit losses (‘ECL’) for loans and bonds as the dierence be - tween the cash flows arising from the contracts signed and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive. The Group calculates the cash flows that it expects to obtain based on the default ratio determined on the basis of the margin on the bonds issued by the Group and adjusted by the recovery ratio as a relia- ble estimate of the level of credit risk. In addition, the Group provides the individual analy- sis of loans granted and bonds covered with a signif- icant level of probability of default, in cases justified by the type of business or the client structure - and recognizes the write-o in a reliably estimated value. Such loans and bonds are excluded from the cal- culation of the write-o for expected credit losses. DERIVATIVES Derivatives are recognised in the books at the time where the Companies becomes a party to a binding agreement. The Group takes recourse to derivative instruments to mitigate the risks associated with changes in ex-change rates or interest rates. The Group does not apply hedge accounting. At the balance sheet date, derivatives are measured at fair value. Whereas derivatives with fair value greater than zero are financial assets, those with negative fair value are financial liabilities. Profit or loss on derivative instruments is recognized in financial income or expenses respectively, and in the consolidated cash flow statement as cash flows from investing activities if the acquisition results in the recognition of an asset in the consolidated state- ment of financial position. FINANCIAL ASSETS HELD FOR SALE On the day of recognition, these assets are measured at fair value increased by transaction costs, while at the balance sheet date they are measured at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of an asset is recognised directly in other comprehensive income. In the event of impairment, (in case of material or long-term drop of fair value of given bond under its cost) the amounts previ- ously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss. Assets available for sale include stocks and shares in companies other than subsidiaries and associates which are not quoted in an active market, which are current or non-current assets. In cases where no fair value can be deter- mined, their valuations are carried at cost less ac - cumulated impairment losses, whereas valuation eects are recognised in profit or loss. CASH Cash at bank and in hand, as well as short-term investments, as well as other financial assets that meet the definition of cash equivalents are meas- ured at nominal value. As at the balance sheet date, the Group assesses premises for impairment of cash value, including the need to create a provision for expected credit losses. Cash in foreign currencies is valued at the report- ing date. The same definition of cash shall apply to cashflow report. FINANCIAL LIABILITIES Financial liabilities include loans, borrowings, debt securities, not payable interest on bank loans ac- counted for according to the accrual principle as well as the discount of debt securities to be settled in subsequent accounting periods. Foreign currency loans are measured at the average exchange rate of the National Bank of Poland. Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair val- ue less transaction costs, and then measured using the “amortized cost” method. The valuation of liabil- ities includes all costs of obtaining financing, includ- ing directly related to financing costs of bank fees, costs of brokers and agents, legal costs, experts, a bank monitor, and costs related to marketing at ob- taining the capital, occurring in the issue of bonds. Trade liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently, long-term liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the eective interest meth- od. In cases where the dierence between the value at amortized cost and the value in the amount of the payment required does not have a significant eect | Financial statement 79 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 on the financial results of the Group, such liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet in the amount of the payment required. CONTRACTS OF ISSUED FINANCIAL GUARANTEES Financial guarantee contracts are recognized in o-balance sheet liabilities and receivables. At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether there is a likelihood of a need to make a withdrawal and create a provision. The amount of the pro-vision is determined based on estimates of the amount of probable expenditure necessary to settle the liabili- ty arising from the guarantee contract. At the same time, in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9, the Group creates the provision for expected credit losses (‘ECL’) due to financial guarantees granted. The Group calculates the expected credit loss (‘ECL’) regarding the guarantees given as expected pay- ments to compensate the guarantee holder for the incurred credit loss. The Group first determines the value of the Group’s exposure due to guarantees granted (the actual total value of the contingent li- ability as at the balance sheet date). The net expo- sure resulting from the guarantee thus determined is multiplied by the default ratio (determined on the basis of the margin on bonds issued by the Group and adjusted for the recovery ratio). INCOME TAX Income tax on the profit or loss for the year includes the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the profit and loss account, ex- cept for amounts related to items recognised in oth- er comprehensive income, in which case the income tax is accordingly recognised in other comprehen- sive income. The current portion of the income tax is the expect- ed tax on the taxable income for the year, calculat- ed by using tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date, together with any tax adjustments for previous years. Deferred tax is calculated with the balance sheet method as tax to be paid or reimbursed in the future on the dierences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the correspond- ing tax values used to calculate the tax base, except for temporary dierences which arise at the time of initial recognition of an asset or liability, and do not aect the accounting or tax result. At the com- mencement of the lease, the right-of-use asset and the lease liability are equal, so there is no temporary dierence and no deferred tax is created. During the lease term, a dierence arises between the value of the asset and the lease liability. The Group calculates deferred income tax on the dierence between these values. This approach aims to reflect the relationship between the right-of-use asset and the lease liability, and account for deferred tax based on cumulative temporary dierences. This method provides an ef- fective tax rate that better reflects the economics of the entire lease transaction. For the calculation of deferred income tax, a tax rate is used which will apply in the reporting periods in which assets will be settled or liabilities will be released. Deferred tax is not created for temporary dierences on investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled enti- ties and associates, if the Group controls the reversal of these dierences and they will not be reversed in foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets due to tax loss are cre- ated, if the settlement of the loss in the following years is probable. Deferred income tax assets are created in the amount to be deducted from income tax in the future due to negative temporary dierences, which will reduce the tax base and deductible tax loss in the future. EQUITY CAPITAL The share capital is measured at nominal value shown at the National Court Register. The dierenc- es between the fair value of the payment received and the nominal value of shares are recognised in the reserve fund as capital from sales of shares above their nominal value. The share issue costs reduce the Group’s supple- mentary capital. PROVISIONS The provisions are recognised when the Group is un- der a present obligation resulting from past events, it is probable that fulfilment of this obligation will cause an outflow of resources representing econom- ic costs and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are measured at the present value of the costs estimated in accord- ance with the best knowledge of the management of the Group, the incursion of which is required to settle the present liability at the balance sheet date. In accordance with the adopted principle, no provi- sions are made for retirement benefits. Due to the age of employees and their rotation, potential re- serves would not have a significant impact on the presented financial statements. Upon their occur- rence, the payment of retirement severance pays will be booked on a cash basis. | Financial statement 80 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 Methods of determining the financial result REVENUE The amount of revenue is equal to the remunera- tion determined in agreements with clients exclud- ing amounts receiving on behalf of the third party. In accordance with IFRS 15, the Group recognises revenues when the obligation is fulfilled (or in the course of fulfilling) by transferring a promised goods or services (i.e. an asset) to a customer. The asset is transferred when the customer obtains control of that asset. After fulfilling (or in the course of fulfill- ing) obligations, the entity recognises an amount equal to a transaction price as income, which has been assigned to that performance obligation. To determine the transaction price, the entity shall con- sider the terms of the contract and its usual commer- cial practices. The transaction price is the amount of remuneration that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer, excluding amounts col- lected on behalf of third parties (for example, cer- tain sales taxes). The remuneration specified in the contract with the client may include fixed amounts, variable amounts or both. Revenue from the sale of residential and service premises are recognised on the date of handover of real estate to the buyer. This occurs on the basis of the acceptance protocol signed by the parties pro- viding only after completion of the construction of real estate and receiving the occupancy permit on condition that the buy-er will pay 100% towards the purchase price of real estate. Paid apartments are also considered to be cases of minor underpayments (up to PLN 500), larger underpayments, which the Group decides not to collect from customers, or in the event of receivables from tenant changes, which, according to arrangements, are payable later than the moment of handover of the premises. Revenues from the rental of residential and com- mercial space are recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the contracts concluded. Revenue from other con-tracts for the provision of services (legal, consulting, IT, financial, marketing, security and other services) is recognised by the Group when the performance obligation is met. COST OF SALES Costs of goods, products and services sold consist of costs incurred in respect of revenues of a given financial year and overheads not yet incurred. The cost of goods and products sold is measured at the production cost, using the method of detailed identification of the actual cost of assets sold or the percentage share e.g. of the land or shares sold, etc. In particular, the cost of sales of premises and land sold is determined proportionally to their share in the total cost of construction of the facility and the entire land constituting a given project. ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS RELATED TO PROJECTS Administrative costs related to projects include ad- ministrative costs indirectly related to the implemen- tation of development projects which include: real estate tax, maintenance fees, property protection, administrative sta remuneration costs and mainte- nance costs of employees responsible for construc- tion of projects in the part where cannot be assigned to a specific project or they relate to projects com- pleted and other costs related to the maintenance of development projects. Costs of employees respon- sible for construction of projects in the part where cannot be assigned to a specific project, during the construction period are capitalised in the value of project. Costs are allocated on the basis of working hours reported by employees. These costs, despite an indirect connection with the construction 07 Methods of determining the financial result 85 Con- solidated financial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2019 Information on the financial state- ment of development projects, are not capitalised in the value of inventories/investment properties, because: − in light of IAS 2, these costs are excluded from the purchase price or the cost of inventories due to the fact that they are not incurred in order to bring inventories to their current status and place; − IAS 40, which refers in this respect to the provi- sions of IAS 16, does not permit capitalisation of administrative and general management costs in the value of investment property. | Financial statement 81 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 FINANCING COSTS Financial costs related to the current period are rec- ognized in the profit and loss account according to the amortized cost method described in the Liabil- ities section, except for costs subject to activation in accordance with the solution included in IAS 23. The Group activates the part of financial expens- es which is directly related to the acquisition and production of financial assets recognized as stock and projects commenced. In the case of targeted financing for a given construction project, activation covers the amount of financial costs minus income received from temporary depositing of cash (i.e. in- terest on bank deposits with the exception of depos- its resulting from the blocking of accounts, accredi- tation agreements). In the case of general financing, the general financing costs subject to capitalization are determined using the capitalization rate in rela- tion to the expenditures incurred for a given asset component. 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 accordance with the requirements of IAS 23, the Group begins to activate financial costs when the Group undertakes actions necessary to prepare an asset for its in-tended use or sale. These activities involve more than just activities related to its phys- ical construction. They also include technical and administrative work prior to commencing physical construction, such as activities related to obtaining necessary permits, design and preparatory works. However, such activities do not include the holding of an asset when no production or development that changes the asset’s condition is taking place. CONSOLIDATION OF SUBSIDIARIES Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group exercises control, which occurs when the Company: − exercises authority over the entity, − is exposed to changing financial results or holds rights to variable financial results, − is capable of using the authority exercised over the entity in which the investment was made to influence the amount of their financial results. Subsidiaries are consolidated in the full method from the date of extending authority over them to the time of losing it. Financial statements of subsidiar- ies present data for the same accounting period as the parent company, using consistent accountancy methods. The process of consolidation eliminates all intra-group transactions and accounting balances. Elimination also extends to the value of shares held by the Company and other consolidated entities in subsidiaries which represents the share of the Com- pany and other Group entities subject to consolida- tion in the equity of subsidiaries. The most important role in the structure of the Group is played by Echo Investment S.A., which is the owner of units of the Group, supervises, co-participates and provides funds for the implementation of ongoing developer’s projects. The companies included in its composition have been established or acquired in or- der to carry out specific investment tasks and mostly do not engage in business operations other than that which would result from the process of execution of specific project, and next from the provision of services of lease assets already completed or other services. COMBINATIONS OF ECONOMIC ENTITIES The Group has subsidiaries which hold real estate. At the time of the acquisition, the Group considers whether the acquisition is the acquisition of an enter- prise or the acquisition of an asset. The Group ana- lyzes whether the acquisition meets the definition of a venture in accordance with IFRS 3. In particular, the Group performs a concentration test that ena- bles a simplified assessment of whether the acquired set of activities and assets constitutes a venture. A positive concentration test result means that the acquisition does not constitute a business and no additional assessment is required. The concentration test is positive when substantially all of the fair value of the acquired gross assets is concentrated in a sin- gle identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. A negative result requires a detailed analysis of whether the acquisition meets the definition of a project. The acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group, except for the acquisition of entities under common con- trol, is accounted for according to the acquisition method. The payment transferred in the business combination transaction is measured at fair value, calculated as the collective fair value of the Group’s assets transferred, liabilities contracted to the previ- ous owners of the acquired entity and capital instru- ments issued by the Group in exchange for acquisi- tion of control over the acquired entity. The costs related to the acquisition are recognized in the result at the time they are incurred. Goodwill is valued as the excess of the amount of payment transferred, the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquired entity and the fair value of shares in the acquiree previously held the acquirer over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities measured at the acquisition date. If, af- ter re-verification, the net value of identifiable assets and liabilities valued at the date of acquisition, ex- ceeds the sum of the payment transferred, the value of non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of shares in that entity previously held by the acquirer, this surplus is recognized directly in the result as a gain on bargain purchase. | Financial statement 82 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 Non-controlling shares that form part of owner- ship interests and entitle owners to a proportionate share in the net assets of the entity in the event of its liquidation can be initially measured at fair value or proportionally to non-controlling interests in the recognized value of identifiable net assets of the acquiree. The selection of the valuation method is made individually for each takeover transaction. In the event that the acquisition of subsidiaries does not constitute a takeover of the business, it is rec- ognized as the acquisition of a group of assets and liabilities. The acquisition cost is allocated to assets and liabilities acquired based on their relative fair values and no goodwill or deferred income tax is recognized. INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATED COMPANIES AND JOINT VENTURES Associates are the companies which the parent com- pany has a direct or indirect (through subsidiaries) influence on yet are not its subsidiaries or joint ven- tures. Joint ventures are contractual arrangements whereby two or more parties undertake a business which is subject to co-control. Joint ventures are joint contractual agreement ac- cording to which co-controlling parts have rights to net assets resulting from the contractual agreement. The financial year of associates, joint ventures and the parent company is the same. The Group’s investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for in the consolidated fi- nancial statements using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or joint venture is initially recognized at cost and sub- sequently adjusted to take account of the Group’s interest in the financial result and other comprehen- sive income of the associate or joint venture. If the Group’s share of losses in an associate or joint ven- ture exceeds its share in the entity, the Group ceases to recognize its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognized only to the extent consistent with legal or customary liabilities assumed by the Group or to payments made on behalf of an associ- ate or joint venture. An investment in an associate or joint venture is ac- counted for using the equity method from the date on which the entity acquired the status of a joint venture or associ-ate. On the date of investing in an associate or joint venture, the amount by which the investment costs exceed the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of that entity is recognized as goodwill and included in the bal-ance value of the investment. The amount by which the Group’s share of net fair value in identifi- able assets and liabilities exceeds investment costs is recognized directly in profit or loss in the period in which the investment was made. When assessing the need to recognize the impair- ment of an investment of the Group in an associate or joint venture, the requirements of IAS 28 apply. If necessary, the entire carrying amount of the invest- ment is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount. with the carrying amount. The recognized impairment is part of the carrying amount of the investment. The reversal of this impairment is recognized in accordance with IAS 36 to the extent corresponding to the subsequent in- crease in the recoverable amount of the investment. The Group ceases to apply the equity method on the date a given investment ceases to be its associate or joint venture and when it is classified as earmarked for sale. The dierence between the balance value of an associate or joint venture at the date of discon- tinuance of the equity method and the fair value of retained interests and proceeds from the disposal of a portion of the interest in that entity is taken into ac- count when calculating the gain or loss on disposal of an associate or joint venture. If the Group reduces its share in an associate or in a joint venture but it continues to settle it using the equity method, it transfers to the financial result any portion of profit or loss previously recognized in other total income, corresponding to the share reduction, provided that the profit or loss is subject to reclassification to the financial result at the time of the disposal of related assets or liabilities. Unrealized profits and losses resulting from transac- tions between the Group and the entity recognized under the equity method are subject to consolida- tion eliminations in accordance with the Group’s share in the equity of the entity recognized using the equity method. VALUATION TO FAIR VALUE The Group measures financial instruments such as in- struments measured at fair value available for sale as well as derivative instruments and non-financial as- sets such as investment properties at fair value as at each balance sheet date. Fair value is defined as the price that would have been received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a trans- action carried out on the usual terms of asset dis- posal between market participants on the valuation date under current market conditions. The fair value measurement is based on the assumption that the sale transaction of an asset or liability transfer takes place on the market available for the main market for a given asset or liability, available to the Group, or in the absence of the main market, on the most advantageous market for a given asset or liability. The fair value of an asset or liability is measured as- suming that when determining the price of an asset | Financial statement 83 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 or liability, market participants act in their best eco- nomic interest. The fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account the market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits through the largest possible and best use of the asset or its disposal to another market participant that would ensure the greatest possible and best use of the asset. The Group applies valuation techniques that are ap- propriate to the circumstances and for which su- cient data is available to measure fair value, with the maximum use of appropriate observable input data and the minimum use of unobservable input data. All assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value or their fair value is disclosed in the financial statements are classified in the fair value hierarchy as described below based on the lowest input data level that is significant for the fair value measure- ment taken as a whole: − Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in an active market for identical as-sets or liabilities, − Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the low- est level of input data, which is significant for the fair value measurement as a whole, is directly or indirectly observable, − Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the low- est level of input data, which is significant for the fair value measurement as a whole, is unobserv- able. At each balance sheet date, in the case of assets and liabilities occurring at particular balance sheet dates, the Group assesses in the financial statements whether transfers took place between levels of the hierarchy by reassessing the classification to indi- vidual levels, guided by the relevance of the input data from the lowest level that is significant for the valuation to fair value treated as a whole. REPORTING BY SEGMENTS The Group’s business segments are presented in ac- cordance with data from internal management re- porting and analyzed by the key operational decision maker. The key operating decision maker, which is responsible for the allocation of resources and the assessment of operating segments’ results, is the Management Board of Echo Investment S.A. In the Group, the following reporting segments were identified, which are identical to operating segments defined on the basis of the type of projects imple- mented: − residential areas (rental and sale of residential and service areas), − shopping centres (rental), − oce buildings (rental), − others (services for external clients − accountancy, leasing, development). Principles for determining revenues, costs, segment’s result measurement, asset valuation and segment’s liabilities are the accounting policies adopted for the preparation and presentation of the Group’s consol- idated financial statements, as well as accounting policies that specifically relate to segment reporting. The operating segment profit margin is measured as ‘gross profit / loss on sales’. Segment financial data are included in note 31 to the financial statements. NET PROFIT PER SHARE The net profit per share for each period is calculated by dividing the net profit for a given period attrib- utable to ordinary shareholders of the parent entity by the weighted average number of shares issued during the period. CASH FLOW The cash flow statement is prepared using the in- direct method. Liabilities on account of overdraft facilities are denominated as loan debt rather than cash equivalent. | Financial statement 84 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 Error correction – changing the presenting principles – restatement of statements for previous period The Management Board of the Group voluntarily de- cided to change the incorrect presentation of finan- cial costs and financial revenues related to amortised costs of interests on granted borrowing, received loans and issued bonds. After the analysis, the Man- agement Board concluded that the financial revenue related to the adjusted purchase price on the con- tracted loans and issued bonds in the amount of PLN 6,605 thous. should be presented as financial costs, The Group’s Management Board decided to change the incorrect presentation of provisions in the con- solidated statement of financial position. After the analysis, the Management Board concluded that long-term provisions will be presented under long- term liabilities, while short-term provisions will be while financial costs related to the adjusted purchase price on loans granted in the amount of PLN 1,959 thous. should be presented as financial revenue. As a result, the Group made an appropriate presentation change in the consolidated profit and loss account in the comparative period, i.e. from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. The changes are presented below: presented under short-term liabilities. As a result, the Group made an appropriate presentation change in the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2019 and January 1, 2019. The changes are presented in the table below.

Assumptions and estimates are based on the best knowledge of current and future events and activities, however, actual results may dier from those anticipated. Estimates and related assump- tions 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 PROPERTIES / INVESTMENT PROPERTIES UNDER CONSTRUCTION / ASSETS HELD FOR SALE Investment real estate includes facilities leased to cli- ents by companies which are part of the Group. The fair value of investment real estate is classified at level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between the levels. After a change in the strategy of the Echo Investment Group, the Group most often measures properties at fair value during construction and / or commerciali- sation. 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 as- sessed individually for each property subject to its status. The fair value of real estate properties which are almost 100% 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 oer, provided they exist. According to the valuations prepared by the Group, the value of investment properties as at 31 December 2020 amounted to PLN 1,388,972 thous.

This item includes completed projects as well as ongoing projects and investment plots. As at 31 December 2020, the value of assets held for sale amounted to PLN 1,269,329 and consisted of oce buildings measured at fair value (PLN 1,259,610 thous.) and real estate valued at the value of expenditure (PLN 9,719 thous.). The table below presents an analysis of assets held for sale carried at fair value in the consolidated state- ment of financial position according to the levels of the fair value hierarchy: The table below presents an analysis of investment properties carried at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position according to the lev- els of the fair value hierarchy: | Financial statement 90 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 As at 31 December 2019, the value of assets held for sale was PLN 22,923 thous. and consisted of invest- ment land. SECURING REVENUE FOR RENT-FREE PERIODS (MASTER LEASE) ) When an investment property is selling, it occurs that buildings are not fully commercialized at the time of sale. The price is calculated based on the project’s projected revenue (NOI) while the Group signs a contract securing the rent-free periods (mas- ter lease). Securing rental proceeds (master lease) is estimated on the basis of information obtained from the oce project leasing team, accepted by the Member of the Management Board responsible for this segment of activity, concerning: − terms of signed lease agreements, − assumptions for vacant areas, such as expected transfer dates The following is calculated on this basis: − for vacancies: the rent that would be paid by the potential future tenant, − for signed contracts: rental holidays (if any). The estimate is made from the balance sheet date for the period of securing rental proceeds. In each calculated month: − if a vacancy is expected on an area in a given month, the cost of securing rental revenue is a full rent which is provided for on this area; − if it is expected that a given area will be trans- ferred and the tenant has a rental holiday, the cost of securing the rental proceeds related to this area in a given month is equal to the value of rental holidays; − if it is expected that the tenants’ rental holidays are over in a given month, the cost of securing the rental proceeds is equal to zero. The basic rent and the maintenance fees are calcu- lated in this way, the exception being that there are no rental holidays on maintenance fees. The total of these values discounted as at the balance sheet date is the value of the reserve for securing rent-free peri- ods (master lease). The reserve for securing rent-free periods (master lease) is calculated for projects sold. The key input data and assumptions adopted for as - sets held for sale measured using the income meth- od are as follows: ASSETS HELD FOR SALE VALUATION TECHNIQUES Valuation Valuation technique Discount rate % Capitalization % 2020 Oces 1 259 610 Income method 5,20% – 7,65% 4,70% – 7,15% Total 1 259 610 As at 31 December 2020, the value of reserves established to secure rent free periods amounted to PLN 12,370 thousand. As at 31 December 2019, the value of reserves es- tablished to secure rent free periods amounted to PLN 19,679 thousand. PROFIT SHARE FROM SALE OF REAL ESTATE A profit share is a share in the minority investor’s profit. It results from concluded agreements ac- cording to which the investor is obliged to pay the capital constituting a share in the investment. The capital is contributed to the entities which perform the project in the form of a loan or an is- sue participating bonds. At the time of the sale of the project, the capital is returned to the investor along with due profit share (calculated as the sale price - costs). The provision for the profit share is estimated for projects valued using the income method in proportion to the released profit on real estate. Therefore, the first provision for the profit share is created along with the first valuation of the project at fair value. As at 31 December 2020, the value of provision for costs on account of the profit share from the sale of real estate amounted to PLN 46,283 thous. As at 31 December 2019, the value of provision for costs on account of the profit share from the sale of real estate amounted to PLN 78,306 thousand. INVENTORY 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 de- velopment market, regarding the expected sale | Financial statement 91 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 prices and current market trends, as well as informa- tion resulting from the preliminary sales agreements concluded by the Group. Assumptions used in the calculation of the write- down 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 oper- ations 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 9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS VALUED ACCORDING TO FAIR VALUE The Group uses its judgment when selecting valua- tion methods and makes assumptions based on mar- ket conditions existing at each balance sheet date. In particular, concluded forward contracts and con- cluded option agreements are valued on the basis of valuations provided by banks, which use such data as current exchange rates, their historical volatility and interest rates on deposits (WIBOR, EURIBOR) when calculating them. As at 31 December 2020, 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 dierence between the carrying value and the fair value of financial in- struments. ASSET FROM DEFERRED INCOME TAX 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 assump- tion would be unjustified if the tax results deterio- rated in the future. The Management Board verifies the adopted esti- mates regarding the probability of recovering de- ferred tax assets based on changes in factors taken into account when making them, new information and past experience. LEASING The adaption and application of IFRS 16 required the Company to make various estimates and to engage in professional judgment. The main area in which it happened concerning the assessment of lease pe- riods, in agreements for an indefinite period and in agreements for which the Company was entitled to extend the agreement. When determining a lease period, the Company had to consider all facts and circumstances, including the existence of economic incentives to use or not to extend the agreement and any termination option. The Company also es- timated the discount rate used in the calculation of the lease liability - as a risk-free rate increased by the characteristic margin for the given asset to which the lease relates. As at 1 January 2019, the average weighted IBR rate used to discount of liability valuation amounted to 5.73%. | Financial statement 92 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 Financial risk management THE RISK OF CHANGES IN CASH FLOWS AND FAIR VALUE RELATED TO INTEREST RATE The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk stems from financial assets and liabilities, in particular with loans granted, bank deposits, bank loans received and bonds issued. Borrowings, loans, and bonds bear interest at variable rates and make the Group vul- nerable to interest rate risk, while loans bear inter- est at fixed interest rates and expose the Group to fluctuations in fair value of financial instruments. In addition, the Group is exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuations in the case of borrowing a new loan or refinancing existing debt into long-term financing. As at 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, 100% of liabilities on loans and debt securities yield- ed variable-rate interest. As at 31 December 2020, 66.93% of loans granted yielded fixed-rate interest, the remaining part - var- iable-rate interest. As at 31 December 2019, 55.81% of loans granted were yielding fixed-rate interest, the remaining part - variable-rate interest. As at December 31, 2020, the Group used interest rate hedging for issued bonds and contracted loans in the form of IRS instruments.

As a re- sult of opened position, as of 31 December 2020 the Group remained hedged for cash flows of EUR 51.4 million. Transactions were con-ducted on the basis of bank agreements, not speculatively and were a part of hedging policy (but not treated by the Group as hedge accounting as defined by IAS39) with the intention of securing future cash flows from conver- sion of loan tranches granted in EUR and funds from the sale of commercial projects. The Group pursues a uniform risk management pol- icy of exchange rate changes and constantly mon- itors risk areas, while using available strategies and mechanisms to minimise the negative eects of market volatility and cash flow hedges. The Group maintains financial surpluses mostly in the PLN. The amounts held in bank accounts in other currencies are mainly to current transactions. As at 31 Decem- ber 2020, 92.7% of cash held by the Group were denominated in PLN, 7.3% – denominated in EUR. As at 31 December 2019, 64.5% of cash held by the Group were denominated in PLN, 35.5% – denomi- nated in EUR. Based on the simulations, it was found that the im- pact of changes in EUR/PLN interest rates by 10% net profit would be a maximum increase or decrease, within individual categories of receivables and lia- bilities: CURRENCY RISK The risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuations is relat- ed to the investment loans and borrowings denomi- nated in foreign currencies within the Group (as at 31 December 2020 they amounted EUR 276,029 thous, however as at 31 December 2019 – EUR 144,485 thous.) the lease agreements, where rents are de- pendent on the PLN/EUR exchange rate and other receivables ex-pressed in foreign currencies. This risk arises on the opportunity of the following types of financial events: − currency translation of received loans (tranches of loans) and funds from the sale of commercial projects from EUR to PLN; − repayment of loan instalments; − obtaining receivables in respect of property lease; − currency translation of other receivables in for- eign currency. The Group uses natural hedging: contracts with ten- ants are expressed in the currency of the loan that was taken out to finance the investment. Payments received from the tenants obtained in this way are intended for repayment of the aforementioned loans. Such linking of funding with sources of in-come re- duces the foreign exchange risk to a minimum or eliminates it completely.

The specifics of the Group’s operations in the field of sales of residential space, lease and provision of services mean that the Group is not exposed to significant credit risk. As at 31 December 2020, the Group estimated the value of impairment losses on trade receivables based on the provision matrix based on historical data regarding repayment of receivables by contractors in the division of types of sales revenues. Credit loss ratios were calculated on the basis of a model based on historical repayment of receivables in individual overdue groups. The table be- low presents data on exposures and the value of impairment losses on expected credit losses. In addition, the Group has implemented procedures to assess the creditworthi- ness of customers and tenants, where- as for the latter hedging in the form of 31 December 2020 Default rate weighted average Gross value of trade receivables [PLN ‘000] Provision for expected credit losses [PLN ‘000] current 0,09% 34 200 32 1-30 days 1,34% 9 279 124 31-90 days 51,95% 3 324 1 727 91-360 days 61,99% 3 420 2 120 over 361 days 91,73% 7 499 6 879 Total 57 722 10 882 deposits and guarantees are applied as collateral. No significant concentration of risk occurs in relation to any of the cus- tomers of the Group. In the case of cash and deposits in banks, the Group uses the services of reputable entities. With regard to all classes of financial assets, the Group considers that the credit risk associated with financial instruments is too low. In the Management Board’s opinion, in view of the presented business characteristics, the risk of non-performance of contractu- al obligations is low, the Group’s debtors have a high short-term ability to fulfil their obligations within the scope of contracts concluded with the Group, and possible adverse changes in economic and busi- ness conditions in the long term may - but not necessarily and, in the opinion of the Management Board, they should not - limit their ability to fulfil their obligations within the scope resulting from conclud- ed agreements. | Financial statement 97 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 LOSS OF LIQUIDITY The risk of losing liquidity is the risk that the Group will not be able to settle its financial liabilities on their due dates. The Group manages the liquidity risk by main- taining the appropriate amount of the available cash reserve, using the oer of banking services and reserve credit lines and by monitoring the forecast and ac- tual cash flows. As at 31 December 2020 out of PLN 210 million available under current and working capital loans, the Group had PLN 37.4 million of free lim- it and PLN 327 million of non-restricted cash. As at 31 December 2019 out of PLN 225 million available under current and working capital loans, the Group had PLN 1.6 million of free limit and PLN 492 mil- lion of non-restricted cash. Due to the dy- namic nature of its operations, the Group retains the flexibility of financing through the availability of cash and the diversity of sources of financing. The Group has sucient funds to pay all liabilities in due time. Liquidity risk is minimised in the longer term through the availability of bank credit facilities. At any time, the Group may use sucient funds from the loan facilities granted by banks.

While managing the capital, the Group makes deci- sions regarding the level of financial leverage, divi- dend policy, issuance of new shares or purchasing and subsequent redemption or resale of previously issued shares and the possible sale of assets to re- duce debt. The Group monitors its capital by such methods as debt ratios. This ratio is calculated as the ratio of net debt to total capital.

The bonus system is based on an agreement in accordance with the MBO methodology (Management by Ob- jectives) and it is related to the company’s results. Each Member of the Management Board may receive an annual bonus expressed in a multiple of monthly basic salary, depending on the key business objec- tives which he/she has an influence on in the scope of their responsibility. At the same time, all Members of the Management Board have common goals, the execution of which below the expected level will result in a reduction of the bonus. The amount of remuneration and bonuses of Management Board Members is confirmed by a resolution of the Super- visory Board every time. In connection with the outbreak of the pandemic, in 2020, in addition to the specific objectives set individually for each Member of the Management Board, the common objectives of the Management Board were to maintain the continuity and stability of the company’s operations - in particular, to main- tain uninterrupted work on construction sites and in residential sales oces - and to ensure the safety of employees and associates. At the same time, when the pandemic broke out, the Management Board took measures to respond to the business and fi- nancial risks associated with the uncertain market situation, including decisions to partially defer the payment of bonuses for 2019 and to temporarily re- duce the remuneration of executives. In 2020 and as at the date of publication of the re- port, there were no agreements concluded between the Company and executives, providing for compen- sation in case of their resignation or dismissal from their position without an important reason, or if their dismissal occurs due to a merger of Echo Investment S.A. or due to an acquisition. | Financial statement 104 Consolidated nancial statements of Echo Investment Group for 2020 REMUNERATION OF MEMBERS OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD PLN 2020 2019 From Echo Investment S.A.
