I am pleased to present you with the Echo Investment financial report for the first half of 2020. The Group's financial standing is stable and we are ready to maintain our strong position on the Polish market and are well prepared for the further expansion of our operations. In the second quarter of 2020, Echo Investment generated a net profit of PLN 10.4 million, which mainly resulted from the appreciation in the value of projects under construction and the handover of 222 apartments to buyers.
The second quarter of the year for the company was a time for reshaping, for significantly accelerating the development of our digital processes, and for a rethink about the way our clients use the apartments, office space and shopping centres we develop. The pandemic has shown once again that the company's diversified portfolio is one of its main strengths. We are active in the office, residential and retail real estate sectors. We invest in the most promising new segments, such as apartments for rent or serviced offices. Our strategy is flexible, such as in the way we adapt to the changing trends and business cycles of the real estate market. And, thanks to this, the company as a whole remains in a healthy financial and operational shape.
In March and April, when the strictest restrictions were in place, we focused our efforts on maintaining our business continuity: keeping the work going on construction sites and maintaining contacts with clients, as well as ensuring a safe and effective working environment for our employees. Thanks to the investment in technology and processes that Echo Investment has been consistently implementing for several years, all the operations of the company have been able to proceed without interruption, while the safety of employees, business partners and clients has been ensured.
We sold 653 apartments in the first half of 2020. Since the beginning of the year we have completed the following projects: Widoki Mokotów and Moje Miejsce in Warsaw, Osiedle Jarzębinowe VI in Łódź, Osiedle Jaśminowe IV in Poznań and Ogrody Graua in Wrocław – and thanks to this we have been able to hand over 412 apartments to clients. The pandemic has had a transformative effect on social habits, which in turn has influenced the design and construction of apartments. Our designers have adapted our residential projects to the new reality and the changing expectations of buyers, who have greeted these new solutions and ideas with great interest and appreciation.
In terms of our business development, we are actively searching for new plots. In the first half of 2020 we bought two properties in Kraków and Warsaw, where 36,000 sqm of residential space could potentially be built. We also secured plots where approx. 305,000 sqm of usable space can be built, including properties in prime locations in Poznań, Łódź and Kraków from the Tesco group. Analytical work and preliminary design is currently underway for the development of each site.
In the first six months of 2020, Resi4Rent, the largest institutional apartment rental platform in Poland, has received an occupancy permit for its second Wrocław project. Resi4Rent Wrocław Kępa Mieszczańska is already more than 80% leased. Less than a year after its opening, the first buildings of Resi4Rent Wrocław Rychtalska are almost entirely rented out. In August 2020, the company opened its first project in the Warsaw Resi4Rent Warszawa Browary. First residents already took keys to their apartments. Eventually, the project will comprise 450 apartments.
We believe that the new trends, expectations and habits of young professionals will be to the benefit of the development of the institutional residential rental market, so we are confident of achieving Resi4Rent' strategic goal of 7,500-10,000 apartments for rent by 2025.
The pandemic has shown once again that the company's diversified portfolio is one of its main strengths. We are active in the office, residential and retail real estate sectors. We invest in the most promising new segments, such as apartments for rent or serviced offices. Our strategy is flexible, such as in the way we adapt to the changing trends and business cycles of the real estate market. And, thanks to this, the company as a whole remains in a healthy financial and operational shape.
Despite the challenging market, we have been seeing substantial interest from new tenants looking to expand in Poland and who require safe and high quality office space in the best locations. Echo Investment is still the best partner they could have. Currently we have a number of office buildings under construction with a total leasable area of approx. 140,000 sqm, including Fuzja CD in Łódź, Moje Miejsce II in Warsaw, Face2Face II in Katowice and MidPoint71 in Wrocław. The construction process for all of them has been continuing at the usual pace and we are also happy with their healthy leasing rates. Upon completion, the Fuzja office building will become the headquarters of Fujitsu. Two other buildings to be delivered in fourth quarter of 2020 – Moje Miejsce II and Face2Face II – are also very well leased, having tenants secured for respectively 70% and 90% of their space.
The final stage of our flagship Warsaw Brewery project now lies just ahead of us. In April, the Villa Offices building came into use, when the first tenants were able to move in. The building is 66% leased and tenants for remaining space have already been secured. In the third quarter we also completed Malthouse Offices. The first tenants – Grupa Żywiec and law firm Allen & Overy – are in the process of moving in. Approximately 60% of the space in the building has been leased and tenants have been secured for the remainder. In line with our Profitable Growth Strategy, all of our completed buildings, as well as those that are under construction, are intended for sale. We are in advanced negotiations with a number of major investors to sell our completed buildings, while those that are under construction are also the subject of substantial interest in terms of potential transactions.
In each of these office buildings, we have also implemented anti-Covid measures. As a result of the research by our architects and constructors, we have launched our 'healthy office buildings' programme, which involves a series of new measures, such as using easy-to-disinfect materials, contact-free systems, air filtration, and stricter procedures for facility managers and the cleaning staff. We have already received a great deal of positive feedback from our tenants and potential clients.
To complement our traditional office leasing, we have been investing in our flex-space operator CitySpace, to provide ourselves with an added advantage on the market. In response to the pandemic, many companies are looking for more space so that their employees can be adequately distanced or to separate their teams. CitySpace was quickly able to adapt its offer to meet their requirements. In the first half the company increased the space it manages, including in its newly opened office in the O3 Business Campus complex in Kraków and through extensions in Warsaw (Beethovena), Wrocław (Nobilis Business House) and Gdańsk (Tryton Business House).

In terms of retail projects, the most significant event for us in recent weeks was the opening of the first Primark store in Poland – in Galeria Młociny in Warsaw. This was one of the most anticipated debuts on the Polish retail market and has attracted crowds of shoppers since its opening in mid-August. As a new anchor tenant, the Primark store has strengthened the position of Galeria Młociny as a leading shopping centre in Warsaw. In the first half of 2020, the company's retail department was also busy completing the commercialisation of the Warsaw Brewery complex. Thanks to the contracts it managed to sign, our flagship investment's retail and service section is almost fully leased.
The pandemic measures introduced in March limited the functioning of most of our tenants for several weeks. Our leasing and management departments at that time faced the challenge of reaching agreements with tenants over the terms on which the centres could return to their normal operations. These efforts have had excellent results: clients have returned to our Libero centre in Katowice, as is confirmed in our figures. At the moment the turnover of the entire center is higher than a year ago, while the average monthly footfall amounts to 85% of the figure for the same period of 2019.
Echo Investment continues to enjoy a stable financial standing. The Group has also maintained its healthy cash position: at the end of the first half of the year this came to more than PLN 340 million. The value of our assets now amounts to over PLN 5 billion, almost 17% higher than a year ago. The value of investment properties increased by 80% and a 12% increase in the value of commercial and residential projects under construction and in preparation is noted. With trust we continue to receive from financial institutions, we were able to place new bonds and obtain financing for our office buildings, which will allow the company to develop its operations further.
I encourage you to read our financial report for the first half of 2020 in detail.
Yours sincerely
Nicklas Lindberg CEO of Echo Investment

In 2016, the Management Board of Echo Investment with the approval of the Supervisory Board developed and implemented "The strategy of profitable growth". According to its assumptions, Echo Investment will accelerate the capital turnover and therefore generate higher returns for its shareholders. The Company intends to share profit in the form of regular dividends.

It is the strongest economy and real estate market in the Central and Eastern Europe. Echo Investment, which has been operating on this market for two decades, knows perfectly its potential, background and principles of functioning. This is why the Company will focus on running projects in the most important Polish cities, which are at the same time the most attractive and liquid real estate markets: Warsaw, Tricity, Poznań, Katowice, Wrocław, Cracow and Łódź.
Echo Investment is one of the biggest real estate development companies operating in Poland. The Company is active in three sectors: office, retail and residential. In accordance with the strategy of profitable growth, Echo Investment is going to be one of the leaders in each of the three sectors. This is going to translate into optimum use of resources and adequately large scale of activity.
DEVELOPMENT

The focus of the adopted strategy model is on development activities, which include land acquisition, construction, lease, active management to increase the market value and then sale of finished project in optimal time for the possible return ratio, capital management, market expectations and trends. Commercial and residential properties under construction constitute majority of the group's assets.

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

Many years of experience in three real estate sectors gives Echo Investment a competitive advantage resulting from skills to develop large, multi-functional and destination projects. This is why, the Company can buy larger lands where unit price is lower and competition among purchasers is much lower. Combining functions allows the Company to complete a project earlier and design a complex city space.

Echo Investment Group runs the entire investment process in-house, starting with acquisition of property, through obtaining administrative permits, financing and oversight of construction, to leasing, completion, active property management to increase its value, taking decision of sale and execution of this decision in optimal moment from return, cash management, expectation and market trends.

In the wake of the outbreak of the pandemic, a slump in both sales and the number of homes added to the Polish market had been expected. However, the actual figures for the residential market turned out as something of a surprise for market analysts. According to JLL, approximately 6,900 residential units were sold in the six largest urban centres in the second quarter of 2020 – around 64% fewer than in the previous quarter. Given the fact that for the first 6 or 7 weeks of Q2, sales offices were mostly closed, this could be viewed as quite an optimistic result. And as JLL points out, sales in June actually started to grow markedly.
In the second quarter, 10,600 units were introduced to the market, which is only 19% down on the first three months of the year. In terms of the number of new units on offer compared to those sold from April to June, the volume at the end of the last quarter had increased by over 10% since the end of March 2020. By that time, there were 48,900 units on sale. The number of homes available to buy saw the most impressive growth in Kraków – by more than 22%. In Warsaw, Wrocław, and Łódź, the increase in new units available to buy remained in the range of 11–14% over the quarter. The number of units available on the primary market in Poznań showed virtually no change, and even slightly decreased in the TriCity.
The year started with a clear surplus of demand over supply, which resulted in developers asking for higher prices. At the end of the first quarter, prices were still rising in the four largest cities. In the second quarter, the prices for units in newly completed projects differed significantly between the cities. The highest annual increases were recorded in the TriCity (almost 39%) and Poznań (12%). A significant decrease was only recorded in Wrocław, where prices were down by approx. 20%. According to JLL's analysts, it will be necessary to wait until the market returns to significantly higher volumes before any firm conclusions can be drawn.

RESIDENTIAL UNITS AVAILABLE TO BUY AGAINST THOSE SOLD AND THE SIZE OF THE OFFER IN POLAND [000' UNITS]
Echo Investment sold 653 apartments in the first half of 2020, an improvement on the sales figure for the same period last year. In the second quarter alone, the company sold 254 apartments. The largest number of transactions were for homes in the Stacja 3.0 project in Wrocław, Nasze Jeżyce II in Poznań and Stacja Wola I in Warsaw. In July and August, sales remained at a stable, healthy level.
Due to the epidemic in Poland and the related restrictions, Echo Investment focused its efforts on maintaining its business continuity – in particular during the period of the most stringent restrictions at the turn of March and April. In the residential sector, this meant ensuring work was able to continue on construction sites with additional safety measures for the work supervision, as well as maintaining liaisons with clients and the collaboration between teams. Thanks to the company's quick response along with the introduction of additional precautionary procedures and safety measures for employees, all the construction work was carried out according to schedule. Echo Investment made huge efforts to accelerate the development of digital processes in order to make it easier for clients to buy apartments without leaving home. Digital signatures were introduced in the apartment booking process, while online meetings with advisors were held and the viewing of projects and their immediate area was done using virtual reality. Additionally, the selection process for apartment sales was supported by the Aurelia chatbot. The company is well positioned to handle sales and customer service in the event of similar limitations in the future and has thus secured the business continuity it was aiming for.
At the end of June, Echo Investment's had over 1,300 apartments on sale. In July and August, the developer started the construction and sale of units in three further projects – Stacja Wola II in Warsaw, Bonarka Living on ul. Puszkarska in Kraków and the second stage of the KRK estate in Krakow. These new projects increased its offer by over 600 apartments.
In the year to the end of June, Echo Investment handed 412 apartments over to buyers. In the first half of the year four projects received occupancy permits: Widoki Mokotów, Moje Miejsce and Reset II in Warsaw and Ogrody Graua in Wrocław.


The pandemic has had a transformative effect on social habits and the ways space is used, which in turn has influenced the design and construction of apartments. After several weeks of analysing the behaviour and needs of those living in cities, Echo Investment's designers adapted its residential projects under construction to these new conditions and to buyers' changed expectations. These include features to increase security levels, such as
a resident identification system that automatically opens the door for them and summons an elevator to take them to their floor – without the need to touch buttons in the common areas. In the design and arrangement of the apartments, Echo Investment's architects also provided greater options for easily adapting the space for home office requirements. In response to the economic situation, Echo Investment adopted a more cautious approach to starting new projects. Decisions to start construction will now depend on the projects having achieved a higher level of apartment pre-sales than hitherto, which entailed that the work on a number of projects was postponed for several months.
In terms of its business development, in the first half of the year Echo Investment secured by preliminary sale agreement three plots in prime locations with first generation shopping centres from the Tesco group. A total of approx. 240,000 sqm could be built on the plots, which are situated in Poznań, Łódź and Kraków, including residential space as well as office and retail space. Preliminary design and analytical work is currently underway on the future development of each of these plots.

Nasze Jeżyce residential estate in Poznań
In the last six months, Resi4Rent, the largest institutional apartment rental platform in Poland, received an occupancy permit for its second Wrocław project – Resi4Rent Kępa Mieszczańska. The newly opened complex is already more than 80% leased. Meanwhile, less than a year after its official opening, the first buildings of Resi4Rent Wrocław Rychtalska have been rented out by as much as 95%.
In August 2020, the company opened its first project in the Polish capital: R4R Warszawa Browary. The renting out of the apartments has begun and keys have been handed over to the first tenants. Eventually, the project will comprise 450 apartments.
Resi4Rent was established in 2018. It is a joint venture between Echo Investment, which holds a 30% stake, and a leading international fund manager, which owns 70%. Echo Investment is the project developer for Resi4Rent and among the services it provides for the platform are identifying and purchasing plots. In total, there are more than 1,250 apartments for rent in completed Resi4Rent buildings in Warsaw, Łódź and Wrocław. The strategic goal is to build a platform of 7,500 - 10,000 apartments for rent by 2025.


Resi4Rent Warszawa Browary – the first completed project of Resi4Rent in Warsaw

In the first half of the year developers have completed five office buildings in Warsaw with an area of 106,800 sqm, including four in the city centre – according to research by CBRE. The total modern office stock in the city now comes to almost 5.7 mln sqm. Meanwhile, a record amount of space remains under construction: by 2022, another 700,000 sqm should have been added to the supply. Most of these projects (approx. 85%) are located in the city centre and Wola.
Tenants leased a total of 334,800 sqm in H1 2020, of which 195,900 sqm was leased in the second quarter alone. One notable transaction signed in the second quarter was PZU's pre-lease of 45,600 sqm in an office complex in Wola. Furthermore, despite the adverse impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, tenant activity in the first half of the year was only 17% down on the same period last year. As was the case in the first quarter, also in the second one there was a noticeable increase in interest in renting flexible space, which for many companies may turn out to be an exciting supplement to office space needs after the pandemic. At the end of June, the vacancy rate had slightly increased to 7.88%, mainly due to an increase in vacancy in buildings outside the city centre. The research does not show any upwards pressure on rents, which stand at around EUR 24–25 per sqm per month in the city centre and approx. EUR 15.5 in non-central districts.
Perspectives of each market sectors in comming 12 months:
In the first half of 2020, the regional office markets were much more active than Warsaw in terms of completions. In these cities 15 buildings with a total area of 175,600 sqm came into use in H1. The total office stock in the largest Polish regional cities at the end of the first six months of the year reached approx. 5.7 mln sqm. Most of the new space was delivered in Kraków (69,100 sqm in five projects), while another 800,000 sqm is under construction – mainly in Wrocław, Kraków, Łódź and the TriCity.
The demand for office space in regional markets reached the level of 334,800 sqm at the end of H1 – an increase of 9% on the same period of 2019. This good result is largely due to the Kraków market, which was the focus of a third of the tenant activity. IT remained the most active sector in the first months of the year, accounting for 48% of the demand. Due to the weaker demand in the second quarter, the average vacancy rate increased by 0.8 pp. to around 10.2%. As a result, CBRE has noted a slight decline in rents and a more flexible approach from landlords. However, rents remained at a similar level as in the previous quarter, i.e. between EUR 10.5 to 15 per sqm monthly.

Echo Investment currently has office buildings under construction with a total leasable area of approx. 135,000 sqm. In January, work on the construction of the first stage of the Face2Face Business Campus in Katowice was completed. During the summer, the structure of the second stage of the office complex was completed when the building reached its target height. Its construction should be completed in Q4 2020.
In April, the Villa Office building in Warsaw Brewery came into use with the first tenants being able to move in. In August, Echo Investment also completed work on the final and largest office building of the complex – Malthouse Offices. At present, the fit-out work is underway in the building and the first tenants – Grupa Żywiec and law firm Allen & Overy – are in the process of moving in.
In August, the preparatory work for the construction of two office buildings of the Fuzja complex in Łódź also began, which will together have a total of approx. 20,000 sqm of leasable space. Fujitsu is to be the main tenant of the new space. Another important event was the finance obtained for Mid-Point71 in Wrocław. In July, PKO Bank Polski granted a construction loan of EUR 54.4 million for the project along with a PLN 7 million VAT loan. MidPoint71, which is under development on ul. Powstańców Śląskich, will offer 37,000 sqm of office space.
In response to the pandemic, Echo Investment has implemented additional precautionary measures and enhanced its health and safety standards. In addition to this, Echo Investment's architects and constructors have reviewed their previous design approach in the light of the new hygiene requirements and rec-

ommendations. As a result of this research, the company has launched its 'healthy office buildings' programme, which involves a series of new measures to address post-Covid needs in completed and planned buildings. Pilot projects for the most important innovations have taken place in React in Łódź (an air purification system for filtering microorganisms and viruses) and in West 4 Business Hub in Wrocław (an application for moving around the building that optimises the movement of employees and guests and picks out safe routes). Following the successful pilot of the air filtration system, Echo Investment has decided to introduce the same technology in a number of other office buildings.
CitySpace, Echo Investment's flexible and serviced offices operator, increased the space it manages by more than 3,200 sqm in H1 2020. Its newly opened office in the O3 Business Campus complex in Kraków, with an area of more than 1,700 sqm, accounted for most of this. In addition, centres in Warsaw (Beethovena), Wrocław (in the Nobilis Business House office building) and Gdańsk (in the Tryton Business House office building) were expanded, with some of the extensions having already been opened.
The first months of this year had a large effect on the market and especially on retail trade. Shopping centre operations were cut back to the minimum for almost two months. Retail chains had to find alternative sales channels in a very short time, while building owners had to prepare to reopen their centres again. The reopening of shopping centres took place on May 4th. Since this time, most shopping centres have recorded a footfall of around 70-80% compared to the same period of the previous year. Many market analysts are of the opinion that these figures are cause for optimism. Entertainment zones still face the most challenging situation, as well as cinemas, which also must contend with a lack of new movie productions.
In the first half of 2020, almost 130,000 sqm of leasable space in eleven new large-format buildings was added to the Polish retail real estate market, according to figures from CBRE. At the end of the second quarter, around 490,000 sqm of space was still under construction, with handover deadlines for 2020 and 2021. Despite the pandemic, convenience centres (projects comprising a leasable area of 2,000 – 4,999 sqm) continue to be developed at a rapid pace, and according to JLL almost 73,000 sqm of this type of space remains under construction.
The total value of retail transactions completed in the first half of 2020 came to around EUR 430 million, and they were dominated by one deal – the purchase of a 61.49% share of Globe Trade Centre.

Galeria Młociny, Warsaw
When it comes to retail projects, Echo Investment's most significant event in recent weeks was the opening of the first Primark boutique in Poland – in Galeria Młociny in Warsaw. This was one of the most anticipated debuts on the Polish market, attracting crowds of shoppers since its opening in mid-August. Bringing the brand to Poland is one of Echo Investment's leasing department's most impressive achievements. The Primark store in Warsaw occupies almost 3,700 sqm of retail space on two floors of Galeria Młociny, which is 30% owned by Echo Investment with the remaining 70% being owned by EPP.
In H1 2020, the company's shopping centre department was busy completing the commercialisation of Browary Warszawskie. Thanks to the contracts it managed to sign, this flagship investment of Echo Investment in Warsaw will now feature (among others) a restaurant in the historic cellars of the storage room, a Deseo Patisserie & Chocolaterie confectionery, the Bakery Browary Warszawskie and the Mykonos restaurant (which has already opened). The retail and service section of Browary Warszawskie is almost fully leased.
The pandemic regulations introduced at the beginning of March limited the functioning of most tenants for several weeks. Echo Investment's leasing and management departments then faced the challenge of reaching agreements with tenants over the terms on which the centres could return to their normal operations. Despite the difficult nature of these negotiations and the series of controversies that erupted across the market, Echo Investment managed to reach agreements with the tenants of Libero in Katowice and Galeria Młociny in Warsaw in the shortest possible time, and to take measures to restore the full operations of both centres to their pre-pandemic levels as early as possible. Importantly, in the first days of operations following the re-opening of Echo Investment's shopping centres, the turnover they registered was higher than had been anticipated, given the figures in other countries. The conversion rate, i.e. the ratio of visitors to the number of transactions, also hit record highs, thus attesting to the responsible attitude of shoppers, many of whom had visited the centres only in order to make specific purchases.

Opening of the first Primark store in Poland in Warsaw's Galeria Młociny was one of the most important events for the retail market in 2020

Activities of Echo Investment S.A. capital group in particular in the second quarter of 2020 — were exposed to a number of macroeconomic and environmental risks associated with the spread of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and COVID-19. The restrictions introduced by the government directly affected the course of business processes and the organization of the Group's work. On March 17th, 2020, the Management Board of 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. Due to the removal of the vast majority of restrictions, the Management Board is now able to describe in detail the impact of the pandemic on operations in the second quarter of 2020, describe the steps taken and remedial actions, and better estimate potential risks and impacts in the near future.
The introduction of restrictions on the functioning of the economy and society in mid-March 2020 resulted in the vast majority of companies and organizations — as far as possible — deciding to reduce their operations or switch to remote working (home office) procedures. In the case of Echo Investment, the situation was monitored on an ongoing basis by the management staff and a crisis management center appointed in accordance with internal procedures. The company focused on the following activities:
The most important task for the Management Board was to ensure the continuity of work on all construction 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 Management 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 materials and the associated risks were monitored, a plan was implemented to secure supplies by anticipatory deliveries directly to the construction site, especially 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 constructions have maintained undisturbed activity.
Due to the expected reduction in demand for construction services in the future, the Management Board also takes steps to reduce the costs of construction services and materials. Negotiations and a number of savings initiatives have been undertaken, as a result of which costs on individual projects may be reduced by up to 10%. The effects of these procedures are already visible when contracting subsequent construction works. There is a noticeable increase in the number of construction companies submitting tenders, which gives the contracting authorities a better negotiating position.
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 Management Board has undertaken a number of activities to this end, such as, among others:
Due to the nature of the introduced restrictions, the greatest burden of the pandemic was borne by the retail and entertainment property sector, which in the case of Echo Investment Group concerned the Libero shopping centre in Katowice and Galeria Młociny in Warsaw (in which the Group holds 30% of shares). From March 14th, to May 4th, 2020, the operations of most of the tenants of both shopping centers were very limited (only about 11% of the tenants were operating in Libero). Maintaining the work of the remaining tenants required taking additional precautions, securing the protective materials and maintaining the operation of the center (security, cleaning, ongoing operation). Gradual "defrosting" of tenants' activities from the beginning of May was connected with the necessity to renegotiate lease agreements and to reach an agreement with tenants on incurring losses incurred during the lockdown.
As a result of discussions on future rental rates between tenants, landlords and banks, a compromise has been agreed upon, which optimally distributes costs between tenants and landlords, with the longterm aim of restoring turnover and visits to shopping centers to pre-pandemic levels. The agreement sets out the rules for reducing the amount of rent and the payment of service charges to tenants.
Echo Investment strived to reach agreements with the tenants as soon as possible and to return Libero and Galeria Młociny to normal operations in the shortest time possible. Despite difficult negotiation conditions, both centers were among the first to be fully operational on the market. As a result of the pandemic, the composition of tenants changed slightly in terms of several service outlets, whose owners declared bankruptcy. Despite many limitaIn order to minimize the shopping center's operating costs, steps have been taken to defer or write off certain payments (e.g. for perpetual usufruct or property tax, capital and interest installments of loans) and operating costs have been optimized.
Although regulations related to the pandemic did not limit the operation of sales offices, 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 offers at online meetings and with the help of virtual reality tools, negotiate contract provisions in the CRM system or present the progress of construction work through cameras. The introduction of the pandemic state accelerated the implementation of further elements 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 contact-free entry into apartments (from the housing estate gate, in front of the main door and the elevator), the services of architects (who help arrange an apartment in such a way that office space can be made easily accessible), special marking and training materials, washbasins or disinfectants in common areas (e.g. at playgrounds). Balconies, terraces, loggias and gardens have also become more important for customers.
Since June 2020, the number of inquiries and meetings with potential customers has remained at a level similar to before the pandemic. However, customers are still more cautious when making purchasing decisions. There is a noticeable increase in the number 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 commissioning dates are bought more willingly. Clients pay more attention to security of transactions, which works in favor of large and capital-stable entities such as Echo Investment. The most sensitive group are clients 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 affected by the tightening of banks' lending policies.
As a consequence of the economic downturn, greater caution and Echo Investment's conservative policy of starting new projects on the condition of achieving pre-sale, the company reduced this year's sales target to 1,600 apartments.
Restrictions related to the pandemic did not have a significant impact on the operation of the Resi4Rent residential platform, in which Echo Investment has a 30% stake. Although in the first weeks of the restrictions introduced, the process of renting projects was almost completely stopped, very quickly the interest of potential clients returned to normal. In the opinion of the Management Board of Echo Investment, Resi4Rent may reach a larger number of clients in the long term, due to suspension by some people of their plans to purchase their own apartments and the need to lease apartments.
The most important task in the office sector was maintaining negotiations on leasing space in projects built by the company and continuing the sales processes of the finished buildings. The rental department 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 negotiations.
In the sales processes, the Group lowered its expectations concerning yields on future sales transactions and suspended the sale of some buildings.

The "loans and borrowings" item presents special purpose loans and lines of credit in current accounts. The purpose credit agreements are secured by real estate mortgages, assignment of receivables resulting from lease agreements, construction agreements, policies and registered pledges on shares, accounts, belongings and rights of subsidiaries. Interest rates on loans denominated in EUR are based on the EU-RIBOR plus a margin. The Group uses interest rate hedging in the form of IRS instruments. The majority of IRS instruments are not self-contained but are included in loan agreements and are assessed together with loans.
Credit lines denominated in PLN are secured by blank promissory notes, declarations of submission to enforcement and powers of attorney to bank accounts. The loan interest rate is based on the WIBOR rate plus a bank's margin. According to the best information and data of the Management Boards of the Group's companies, there were no breaches of the terms of loan agreements or the agreed levels of collateral during the financial year and until the date of signing the financial statements.
In the 'debt securities' item the Group presents bonds issued. The interest on bonds is based on the WIBOR rate plus a margin.
The fair value of loans and borrowings does not differ significantly from their balance value. The fair value was determined by the income method based on the cash flows discounted by the current market interest rate. The fair value measurement was classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The preparation of the financial statements requires the Management Board of the Company to adopt certain assumptions and make estimates and judgments that affect the figures disclosed in the financial statements. Assumptions and estimates are based on the best knowledge of current and future events and activities, however, actual results may differ from those anticipated. Estimates and related assumptions are subject to ongoing verification. Change in accounting estimates is recognized in the period in which they were changed – if it concerns only this period, or in the current and future period – if the changes concern both the current and future period.
The main fields in which the Management Board's estimates have a material impact on the financial statements and key sources of uncertainty as at the balance sheet date are:
Investment real estate includes facilities leased to clients by companies which are part of the Group. The fair value of investment real estate is classified at level 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 commercialisation. The property valuation is based on the income method using the discounted cash flow technique, which takes into account future proceeds from rent (including rent guarantees), the sale of real estate and other expenditure to be incurred. The yield used to determine residual values recognized in cash flows result from the Management Board's estimates based on preliminary agreements for the sale of real estate, letters of intent, external
valuations of appraisers or their familiarity with the market. The rates used also take into account the risk, and the level of risk is assessed individually for each property subject to its status.
The fair value of real estate properties which are almost 100% commercialised and generate a fixed income is determined by the unit according to the income method, using simple capitalization technique as the quotient of the project's net operating income (NOI) and the yield, or using the value resulting from external valuation, a preliminary contract for the sale of real estate, a letter of intent or a purchase offer, provided they exist.
According to the valuations prepared by the Group, the value of investment properties as at June 30th, 2020 amounted to PLN 1,477,043 thousand and consisted of properties valued at fair value (1,311,471) and other properties (PLN 165,572 thousand). The capitalization rate used to estimate the value of the buildings measured using the income method as at June 30th, 2020, amounted to 6.50% – 7.15%.
The value of investment properties as at December 31st, 2019 amounted to PLN 941.983 thousand and consisted of office buildings valued at fair value (PLN 778,344 thousand) and other properties (PLN 163,639 thousand). The capitalization rate used to estimate the value of the office buildings measured using the income method amounted to 6.50% – 6.75%.
The value of investment properties as at June 30th, 2019 amounted to PLN 825,318 thousand and consisted of properties valued at the fair value (PLN 784,233 thousand) and other properties (PLN 41,085 thousand). The capitalization rates used to estimate the value of office buildings valued using the income method were: 6.50%-6.75%.
The value of investment properties under construction as at June 30th, 2020 amounted to PLN 1,470,951 thousand and consisted of property valued at the fair value (PLN 1,106,979 thousand) and properties valuated at capital incurred (PLN 363,972 thousand). The capitalization rates used to estimate the value of office buildings valued using the income method were: 4.86%-7.50%.
When calculating the fair value of investment property under construction, the Group companies take into account foreign exchange differences and the result on the measurement of loans and borrowings at adjusted acquisition cost (SCN). The valuation of debt is related to the debt incurred in order to implement a specific investment project.
As at 31 December 2019, the value of investment property under construction amounted to PLN 1,517,866 thousand and consisted of real estate measured at fair value (PLN 1,113,543 thousand) and real estate valued at the value of expenditure incurred (PLN 404,323 thousand). Capitalization rates used to estimate the value of office properties valued using the income method were 4.60% to 7.50%.
The value of investment properties under construction as at June 30th, 2019 amounted to PLN 1,015,644 thousand and consisted of property valued at the fair value (PLN 536,730 thousand) and properties valuated at capital incurred (PLN 478,914 thousand). The capitalization rates used to estimate the value of office buildings valued using the income method were: 5.17%-7.25%.
Under the 'assets held for sale' item the Group presents the properties with reference to which a decision was made to sell them within 12 months. This item includes completed projects as well as ongoing projects and investment plots. As at June 30th, 2020 no assets held for sale were presented at the balance sheet
As at December 31st, 2019, the value of assets held for sale was PLN 22,923 thousand and consisted of investment lands.
As at June 30th, 2019, the value of assets held for sale was PLN 180,707 thousand and consisted of investment land (PLN 19,017 thousand) and an office building (PLN 161,689 thousand) measured at fair value.
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 (master lease). Securing rental proceeds (master lease) is estimated on the basis of information obtained from the office project leasing team, accepted by the Member of the Management Board responsible for this segment of activity, concerning:
The following is calculated on this basis:
The total of these values discounted as at the balance sheet date is the value of the reserve for securing rent-free periods (master lease). The reserve for securing rent-free periods (master lease) is calculated for projects sold.
As at June 30th, 2020, the value of provisions established to secure rent free periods amounted to PLN 177,944 thousand.
As at 31 December 2019, the value of provisions established to secure rent free periods amounted to PLN 171,234 thousand.
As at June 30th, 2019, the value of reserves provisions to secure rent free periods amounted to PLN 147,061 thousand.
A profit share is a share in the minority investor's profit. It results from concluded agreements according 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 issue 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 June 30th, 2020, the value of provision for costs on account of the profit share from the sale of real estate amounted to PLN 45,401 thousand.
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.
As at June 30th, 2019, the value of provision for costs on account of the profit share from the sale of real estate amounted to PLN 98,789 thousand.
When estimating the amount of the write-down revaluating the inventories held by the Group as at the balance sheet date, information from the active market is analyzed regarding expected sales prices and current market trends as well as information resulting from preliminary sales contracts 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 operations of the Group estimated by the Management. Data regarding write-downs updating the value of inventories to the net value possible to obtain and reversing write-downs on this account are presented in note 9.
The fair value of financial instruments (located in the fair value hierarchy level 2) that are not traded on the active market is determined using valuation techniques (the income method). The Company is guided by the judgment in the selection of valuation methods and it adopts assumptions based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. In particular, concluded forward contracts and concluded option agreements are valued on the basis of valuations provided by banks, 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 2019, the Group did not change the valuation principles for financial instruments, there were no changes in the classification or movements between levels of the fair value hierarchy. There is no difference between the carrying value and the fair value of financial instruments.
The Group recognizes deferred tax asset based on the assumption that tax profit will be achieved in the future and it will be possible to use it. This assumption would be unjustified if the tax results deteriorated in the future. The Management Board verifies the adopted estimates regarding the probability of recovering deferred tax assets based on changes in factors taken into account when making them, new information and past experience.
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 periods, 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 estimated the discount rate used in the calculation of the lease liability - as a riskfree rate increased by the characteristic margin for the given asset to which the lease relates. As at January 1st, 2019, the average weighted IBR rate used to discount of liability valuation amounted to 5.73%.

In accordance with the Group's accounting policy, the provision to secure income for rent-free periods (masterlease) is recognized at the time of sale of investment projects, when an investment property or an investment property under construction is not fully leased and the Group guarantees a buyer to secure rent-free periods under a defined level of net operating income (NOI). The provision for securing income for rent-free periods is also recognized on investment properties under construction that are measured at fair value. The Group adjusted the amount of the provision for securing income for rent-free periods as at June 30th, 2019 by reducing the value of the provision for securing income for rent-free periods by PLN 120,937 thousand, simultaneously reducing the fair value of investment properties and investment properties under construction on those projects for which as at a valuation day, the Group did not have any signed sales or preliminary agreements guaranteeing that rent incomings for rent-free periods are secured.
The adjustment described above does not affect the Group's results for H1 2019, as well as the Group's equity as at June 30th, 2019.

IFRS 9 introduced a model based on the concept of expected loss, also in relation to the issuer of financial guarantees. The Company does not conduct separate activities in this area, but is only a party to guarantees and sureties in relation to office and commercial projects developed by subsidiaries. Such guarantees constitute either security related to the development of projects or after-sales security for new investors and they are a form of security commonly used on the market. In the opinion of the Management Board, through the ability to monitor the operations of subsidiaries, the Company has the full ability to monitor the credit risk associated with the issued guarantees. Entities of the Echo Investment Capital Group are fully capable and ready to meet contractual obligations, so the Management Board of the Company did not find any material expected losses due to issuing guarantees and sureties by the Company. In accordance with IFRS 9 requirements, the provision due to expected credit losses was created and amounted to PLN 897 thousand as at June 30th, 2020 and PLN 351 thousand as at June 30th, 2019.

IFRS 9, which replaced IAS 39, defines three categories of financial assets, depending on the business model in terms of asset management and the characteristics of cash flows resulting from the agreement:


Echo Investment's condensed standalone interim financial statements for the first half of 2020, covering the period from January 1st, 2020 to June 30th, 2020, were prepared following IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' adopted by the European Union.
The condensed interim financial statements of Echo Investment S.A. present the financial data for the period of 6 months ended June 30th, 2020 and the comparative data for the period of 6 months ended June 30th, 2019 and the comparative data for the period of 12 month ended December 31st, 2019.
The financial statements have been developed on the historical cost basis, save for investment properties and financial instruments measured at fair value. Items in the financial statements of the Company are presented in the main currency of the economic environment in which the Company operates (functional currency). The financial data are presented in the Polish zloty (PLN) – the presentation currency and the functional currency of the Company, rounded to the nearest thousands of zlotys, unless otherwise specified in specific situations.
The financial statements have been developed on the assumption of going concern in the foreseeable future, bearing in mind the fact that there are no circumstances implying a threat to going concern.
The Company prepared separate financial statements for the mid-year period ended June 30th, 2020, which was approved for publication on 23 September 2020. The Management Board of the Company has used its best judgement regarding the application of standards and interpretations, as well as the methods and principles of measurement of individual items of these statutory financial statements.
The financial result is determined from the profit and loss account, applying the principles of the accruals concept and the matching principle, the yield and the precautionary principle, upon reducing gross profit by input income tax, write-offs on account of provision for transitional difference due to income tax and other charges of the financial result. The financial result is determined by the calculation method.
In accordance with IFRS 15, the Company 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 fulfilling) 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 consider the terms of the contract and its usual commercial 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 collected on behalf of third parties (for example, certain 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 providing only after completion of the construction of real estate and receiving the occupancy permit on condition that the buyer 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 Company 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 commercial space are recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the contracts concluded.
Revenue from other contracts for the provision of services (legal, consulting, IT, financial, marketing, security and other services) is recognised by the Company when the performance obligation is met.
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. The costs of remuneration of employees responsible for project construction, in part in which they can be assigned to a specific project during construction, are capitalised in the value of the project. Costs are allocated on the basis of working hours reported by employees.
Administrative costs related to projects include administrative costs indirectly related to the implementation of development projects which include: land perpetual usufruct tax, real estate tax, maintenance fees, property protection, administrative staff remuneration costs and maintenance costs of employees responsible for construction of projects in the part where cannot be assigned to a specific project or they relate to projects completed and other costs related to the maintenance of development projects.
These costs, despite an indirect connection with the construction 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 provisions of IAS 16, does not permit capitalisation of administrative and general management costs in the value of investment property.
Financial costs related to the current period are recognized in the profit and loss account according to the amortized cost method described in the Liabilities section, except for costs subject to activation in accordance with the solution included in IAS 23. The Company activates the part of financial expenses which is directly related to the acquisition and production of financial assets recognized as stock and projects commenced.
Activation covers the amount of financial costs determined using the effective interest rate minus income received from temporary depositing of cash (i.e. interest on bank deposits with the exception of deposits resulting from the blocking of accounts, accreditation agreements) in the case of targeted financing for a given construction project. In the case of general financing, the general financing costs subject to capitalization are determined using the capitalization rate in relation to the expenditures incurred for a given asset component.
In accordance with the requirements of IAS 23, the Company begins to activate financial costs when the Company undertakes actions necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use or sale. These activities involve more than just activities related to its physical 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.

As a result of the Echo Investment Group's strategy of developing each shopping centre, office building and selected residential projects by a separate subsidiary, a significant part of transactions executed by Echo Investment S. A. is executed with related parties.

To prepare the financial statements, the Company's Management Board had to make certain estimates and assumptions, which are reflected in the statements. The actual results may differ from the estimates.
Assumptions and estimates are based on the best knowledge of current and future events and activities, however, actual results may differ from those anticipated. Estimates and related 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.
Main areas where the Management Board's estimates materially affect the financial statements:
When estimating the net write-down on inventory held by the Company as of the balance sheet date, information from the active market regarding the expected sales prices and current market trends as well as information from preliminary sales agreements concluded by the Company is analysed.
Assumptions used when calculating the write-down mainly relate to market prices of property applicable in a given market segment. According to the Management Board, a change of these assumptions would not materially affect the value of the inventory write-down as of the balance sheet date because the adopted assumptions and information on the value of the write-down were largely based on the concluded sales agreements. In the case of land recognised under inventory, the value of the write-downs results from the usefulness of land for the Company's current and prospective business estimated by the Management Board.
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 periods, 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 estimated the discount rate used in the calculation of the lease liability - as a riskfree rate increased by the characteristic margin for the given asset to which the lease relates.
An impairment test is conducted when there are indications that the carrying value of an investment will not be recovered. The assessment of the impairment of interests in subsidiaries, jointlycon-trolled and associated companies is based on an analysis of the fair value of assets and liabilities held by the companies and the expected prospective cash flows from the operations of such companies. In the course of the assessment, the Company also evaluates the duration and extent to which the current value of the shares is lower than its purchase price and a company's perspectives and plans for its investment developments. All material impairment of the fair value of assets in subsidiaries have been regarded to be long-term by the Management Board and have resulted in impairment losses on interests in subsidiaries. In particular, for material subsidiaries which, as at 30 June 2020, did not run any material operating activity, the value of the recognised write-downs corresponds to the total difference between the net value of the subsidiary's assets and the purchase price of the interests.
The Company's Management Board is obliged to assess the probability of the realisation of deferred income tax assets. When preparing the financial statements, the Company estimates the value of the deferred income tax provision and asset based on, among other things, the value of prospective income tax burden. The process involves analysing current income tax burden and the value of tem-porary differences from different treatment of transactions in terms of fiscal and accounting aspects, resulting in the creation of deferred income tax assets and provisions.
A number of assumptions are adopted for determining the value of deferred income tax assets and provisions in the assessment process described above. The above estimates take account of fiscal forecasts, historic tax burden, currently available strategies for planning the Company's operating activity and timelines for realising the individual temporary differences. Since the above estimates may change due to external factors, the Company may periodically adjust the deferred income tax assets and provisions, which in turn may affect the Company's financial standing and performance.
The regulations concerning the tax on goods and services, corporation tax and social security charges are subject to frequent changes. These frequent changes lead to the absence of relevant benchmarks, inconsistent interpretations and a few established precedents that might be applicable. Existing regulations also contain ambiguities that cause differences in opinions as to the legal interpretation of the tax legislation, between state authorities as well as state bodies and businesses.
Tax settlements and other areas of activity (for example customs or foreign exchange) may be subject to inspection by the authorities that are entitled to impose high penalties and fines as well as any additional tax liability resulting from checks must be paid with a high interest. These conditions make the tax risk in Poland higher than in the countries with more mature tax systems.
Consequently, the amounts presented and disclosed in the financial statements may change in the future as a result of the final decision of the tax auditing authority.
On 15 July 2016 changes were introduced to the Tax Code in order to reflect the provisions of the General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR). GAAR is designed to prevent the creation and use of artificial legal structures developed in order to avoid paying taxes in Poland. GAAR defines tax evasion as an act primarily for the purpose of obtaining a tax advantage, contradictory in given circumstances to the subject matter and purpose of the provisions of the tax law.
According to GAAR, an operation like that does not result in a tax advantage if the mode of operation was artificial. Any occurrence of unreasonable division of operations, involvement of intermediaries despite the lack of economic or economic justification, elements that are mutually abrasive or compensatory and any other actions of similar effect to the aforementioned, may be treated as a premise of the existence of artificial operations subject to GAAR regulations. The new regulations will require much greater judgment when assessing tax consequences of individual transactions.
The GAAR clause should apply to transactions closed after it enters into force and to transactions that were closed before the GAAR clause entered into force, for which advantages were or still are being achieved after the date of the clause's entry into force. The implementation of the above provisions will allow Polish tax authorities to question the legal arrangements and agreements such as restructuring and reorganisation of the group.
The Management Board of the Company voluntarily decided to change the presentation of costs related to interest on loans received in the amount of PLN 487 thousand, previously presented under "other operating expenses". After analysis, the Management Board decided that these are the costs of acquired external financing, therefore they should be presented as financial costs. As a result, the
Company made an appropriate change in the presentation of the profit and loss account by transferring these costs to the item "financial costs".
