Message from CEO

Dear Shareholders, Partners and Clients,

Echo Investment has had another successful year with a great operational and financial results. I am pleased to provide you with this report in which we describe all activities of the company: our business achievements and development plans.

We are proud that the results for 2019 were higher than the market expectations. The obtained net profit of PLN 300 million results from the increase in the value of our office and retail projects, handover of 1,263 apartments, as well as the sale of office buildings Gatehouse Offices in Warsaw and O3 Business Campus III in Kraków. All this allowed for the payment of an advance dividend of PLN 0.50 per share.

In December 2019, Wing, Hungary's leading real estate company, has become Echo Investment's main shareholder. I am glad to share with you that Noah Steinberg, CEO of Wing and Chairman of Supervisory Board of Echo Investment since January, stated that they intend to continue the company's development in line with our 'Strategy of Profitable Growth' announced in 2016.

Multifunctional 'destination' projects

Today, the ongoing 'destination' projects are Warsaw Brewery and Fuzja in Łódź. In Fuzja we are experiencing great interest from tenants which is reflected in a fact that we have leased almost entire available office space. The same thing applies to Warsaw Brewery – we are in advanced negotiations on the whole remaining office space in the buildings.

On Warsaw Brewery we are finalising construction works and in the end of the year this entire great urban quarter will be fully available for citizens. In the Apartments near Malthouse project we are selling last units.

Attractive restaurateurs and tenants are being introduced into their premises. This is going to be the place to be in Warsaw for working, living and entertainment.

A year ago we have started construction works at Łódź-based Fuzja – the project that met a very warm reception. Its apartments' offer enjoys big interest from clients. In 2019 we received the building permit for the first office buildings in this complex and attracted Fujitsu Poland Global Delivery Center to move its headquarter here. This proofs a great potential and attractiveness of Fuzja in Łódź.

Both projects confirm, that the strategy based on developing integrated part of the cities where the history meets the present in design, is efficient and socially responsible. That is why we are preparing another 'destination' projects, such as Towarowa 22 in Warsaw. I am particularly satisfied of the acquisition of the Tesco shopping mall in Warsaw's Kabaty which is going to be transformed into the new center of the district. Another great deal was concluded in the beginning of 2020 where we secured three standing and working first generation shopping malls belonging to the Tesco Group that enable us to develop around 240,000 sqm mixed use area consisting of residential, office and retail space in Poznań, Łódź and Cracow.

Residential

We systematically strengthen our position is among the biggest residential developers in Poland. As one of the few developers in 2019, we improved our sale results. Our sales team signed 1,357 preliminary agreements, which translates into 38% of growth compare to 2018. Echo Investment began construction and launched nine projects offering over 1,800 apartments.

To develop our residential business, in 2019 and in the beginning of 2020, lands where over 8,000 apartments can be developed, were bought or secured.

Resi4Rent

Our residential-for-rent platform made a breakthrough in 2019: it started to market and lease its first projects Rychtalska in Wrocław and Wodna in Łódź. In just a dozen weeks from commissioning, the Wrocław-based project is rented in almost 70%, and the building in Łódź in approx. 40%.

The platform successfully grows and in just few weeks it will handover the third project Kępa Mieszczańska in Wrocław. With another projects being currently under construction Resi4Rent will manage a portfolio with 2,300 completed units already at the end of 2021. The client's huge interest and speed of leasing exceed our expectations and demonstrates huge potential of the institutional rental market in Poland. This is why we are going to develop the platform further and make it the first choice landlord for those, who seek comfortable apartment for rent from an institutional landlord.

Office

Last year, Echo Investment started construction of four office projects with a total leasable area of over 95,000 sqm, and has obtained the occupancy permit for two office buildings - Moje Miejsce I and Face 2 Face I - with a total area of nearly 40,000 sqm. Our leasing team signed lease agreements for a total area of 96,000 sqm. Among the largest tenants secured last year were such companies as Grupa Żywiec in the Warsaw Brewery, Pyszne.pl in Wrocław's MidPoint 71, LuxMed in O3 Business Campus III in Kraków, Just Gym in My Place in Warsaw, Medicover Polska in Katowice Face2Face, CitySpace in React in Łódź and last but not least Fujitsu Poland Global Delivery Center in Łódź-based Fuzja.

CitySpace

Last year our operator of flexible serviced offices increased its managed area by 70 pct. and it launched over 800 additional workstations. Currently it manages almost 17,000 sqm of space with around 1,900 workstations in ten locations. Last year the company launched as many as four offices: in the Aquarius Business House in Wrocław, Galeria Młociny in Warsaw, the Moje Miejsce office building in Warsaw's Mokotów district and the third building of the O3 Business Campus office complex in Kraków. The spaces under operations is having an occupancy rate of over 71% and it's growing.

Retail and entertainment

The opening of Galeria Młociny was one of key events of 2019, not only for Echo Investment, but for the entire retail sector in Poland. This complex is about 85,000 sqm of modern, well-designed space, where over 6,000 sqm is dedicated to food and entertainment. The international retail chain Primark confirmed its presence in Galeria Młociny. Its store in our scheme opens this spring and it will be the first location in Poland. Moreover, 40 new brands extended Galeria Młociny's offer in stores opened in August and September.

Although not yet fully completed, the Warsaw Brewery project is arousing enormous interest now. This is reflected, among others, by tenants who believed in the potential of this place and chose it for their market debut. Among them was Robert Lewandowski, Pjaca restaurant, as well as Craft & Beer Kumpel Atelier.

Financial standing and future outlook

Echo Investment enjoys a very stable financial situation and a low net asset-to-debt ratio, which as at 31 December 2019, was at 34%. The Group maintains a high cash balance: over PLN 490 million at the end of 2019.

The value of our projects under construction increased over the last four quarters by 30%.

Wing, Hungary's leading real estate company, has become Echo Investment's main shareholder. I am glad to share with you that Noah Steinberg, CEO of Wing and Chairman of Supervisory Board of Echo Investment since January, stated that they intend to continue the company's development in line with our 'Strategy of Profitable Growth' announced in 2016.

This is in line with our strategy to achieve dominant position on markets we operate in. This is why we constantly searching and buy land for further development. In 2019, we acquired land properties for over 170,000 sqm of residential and office space. Also another land for 190,000 sqm is already secured with preliminary agreements – mainly for residential projects (including projects for Resi4Rent).

Changes in global economy and all lines of business due to coronavirus, caused close analysis of our action plans to be prepared for the changes in the business environment that are ahead of us. We put great emphasis on the health and safety of our employees and business partners and with that in mind we are continually updating our plans for the next steps to ensure continuity of our business.

The maximum value of credit risk related to trade receivables does not significantly differ from the carrying amount. The estimated fair value of trade receivables is the current value of future expected discounted cash flows and it does not deviate significantly from the balance sheet value of these receivables.

Receivables from affiliated companies are not secured. In relation to related entities, credit risk, in the opinion of the Management Board, is minimised by the ongoing control of operating activities and assessment of investment projects of these companies. By monitoring the operations of subsidiaries and periodically confirming the profitability of their projects, the Company has the option of assessing receivables for which the credit risk has significantly increased. The Management Board of the Company did not find such receivables, even with respect to overdue receivables over 30 days, based on the assessment of investment projects of subsidiaries.

The company regularly monitors the condition and payment capability of contractors. There is no significant risk concentration in relation to any of the clients of the Company from outside the Echo Investment Group. As at 31 December 2018, the Company estimated the value of the impairment loss for trade receivables, using a provision matrix developed on the basis of historical data regarding the repayment of receivables by counterparties.

FRS 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 implemented by subsidiaries. Such guarantees constitute either collateral related to project implementation or after-sales collateral for new investors and constitute a form of collateral commonly used on the market. In the opinion of the Management Board, through the ability to monitor the activities of subsidiaries, the Company has the full ability to monitor the credit risk associated with issued guarantees. The units of the Echo Investment Capital Group have full capacity and readiness to meet the contractual obligations, therefore the Management Board of the Company has not identified the existence of significant expected losses due to issuing guarantees and sureties by the Company. In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9, a provision for expected credit losses as at 31 December 2019 in the amount of PLN 514 thousand was created and as at 31 December 2018 in the amount of PLN 270 thousand.

The obligation to perform the service is considered fulfilled upon the release of the property to the buyer, which takes place on the basis of the acceptance protocol signed by the parties only after the completion of the property construction process and receipt of the occupancy permit, and provided that the buyer makes 100% payments for the purchase price property.

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:

  • − assets measured after initial recognition at amortized cost - if financial assets are held according to the business model, the purpose of which is to maintain financial assets to obtain cash flows arising from the agreement and the contractual terms relating to those financial assets give rise to cash flows that are only repayment of the principal and the interest;
  • − assets measured after initial recognition at fair value through other comprehensive income - if financial assets are held according to the business model, the purpose of which is both to maintain financial assets to obtain contractual cash flows and to sell financial assets and the contractual terms relating to those financial assets give rise to cash flows, which are only repayment of the principal and the interest;
  • − assets measured at fair value through the profit and loss account - all other financial assets.

APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company drew up the Separate Financial Statement for the year ended 31 December 2019, which was approved for publication on 20 March 2020.

The Management Board of the Company has used its best judgment regarding the application of standards and interpretations, as well as the methods and principles of measurement of individual items of separate financial statements.

Application of new and amended standards and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee

The following standards and changes in standards became effective on 1 January 2019:

IFRIC 23 Uncertainty related to income tax recognition

The interpretation explains how to recognise and measure income tax in accordance with IAS 12 if there is uncertainty about its recognition. It does not apply to taxes or fees that do not fall within the scope of IAS 12, or it does not cover interest and penalty requirements related to the uncertain recognition of income tax. The interpretation applies in particular to:

  • − separate consideration of uncertain tax treatment by the entity;
  • − assumptions made by the entity concerning the inspection of tax treatment by tax authorities;
  • − how the entity determines taxable income (tax loss), the tax base, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates;
  • − how the entity the entity reflects changes in facts and circumstances.

The entity must determine whether it considers each uncertain tax treatment separately or in combination with one or more other uncertain tax treatment. The approach, which better provides for resolution of uncertainty, should be followed.

The interpretation has no significant impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the Company.

Amendments to IFRS 9 Contracts with prepayment features with negative compensation

In accordance with IFRS 9, a debt instrument may be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other total income, provided that contractual cash flows are only the principal repayments and interest on the outstanding principal amount (the SPPI criterion) and the instrument is held under the appropriate business model for this classification. Amendments to IFRS 9 specify that a financial asset meets the SPPI criterion regardless of any event or circumstance that cause early termination of the contract and regardless of which party pays or receives reasonable compensation for early termination.

The amendments do not have a significant impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the Company.

Amendments to IAS 19 Plan amendments, curtailments, and settlements

The amendments to IAS 19 specify that in the event of the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement in the annual reporting period, the entity is obligated to determine current service cost for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement, using actuarial assumptions used to remeasure the net defined benefit liability (asset) that reflects the plan benefits and the plan assets after the event.

The entity is also obligated to determine net interest for the remainder of the period following the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement using the defined benefit obligation (asset) reflecting the plan benefits and the plan assets after that event, and the discount rate used for remeasurement of net liability (asset) for the defined benefits.

The amendments do not have a significant impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the Company.

Amendments to IAS 28 Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures

The amendments specify that the entity applies IFRS 9 to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture to which the equity method is not applied, but as a rule they form part of the entity's net investment in the associate or joint venture (long-term interests). This explanation is important because it suggests that the expected credit loss model in IFRS 9 is applied to such long-term interests.

The amendments also specify that when applying IFRS 9, an entity does not take into account losses of an associate or joint venture or any losses due to impairment of net investment in the associate or joint venture that result from the application of IAS 28 Investments in associates.

The amendments do not have a significant impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the Company.

Amendments resulting from the review of IFRS 2015-2017:

IFRS 3 Business combinations

The amendments explain that when an entity gains control over the entity that is a joint operation, it applies the requirements for a business combination in stages, including to re-measure previously owned interests in the joint operation at fair value. In this way, the acquirer reassesses all previously held interests in the joint operation.

The amendments do not have a significant impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the Company.

IFRS 11 Joint arrangements

The amendments specify that a party that participates in a joint operation but does not exercise joint control over it may obtain joint control over the joint operation in which the activities of the joint operation is a business as defined in IFRS 3. In such cases, previously held interests in the joint operation are not subject to revaluation.

The amendments do not have a significant impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the Company.

IAS 12 Income tax

The amendments specify that the tax consequences of dividend payments are more directly related to past transactions or events that led to distributable profits than to payments to owners. Therefore, the entity recognises the tax consequences of dividend payments in profit or loss, other total income or equity, depending on where the entity recognised these past transactions or events.

The amendments do not have a significant impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the Company.

IAS 23 Borrowing costs

The amendments specify that the entity treats all loans originally contracted to produce a qualifying asset as part of general loans when, in principle, all activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are completed.

The amendments do not have a significant impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the Company.

The Company has not decided to apply earlier any standard, interpretation or amendment that was published but has not yet entered into force in the light of European Union regulations.

All these amendments introduced were analysed by the Company's Management Board. In addition to introducing changes resulting from the application of IFRS 16 Leases (explained below), which the Company has applied since 1 January 2019, the Management Board of the Company believes that other amendments do not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations of the Company or the scope of information presented in to these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Changes to the Company's accounting policy introduced as a result of the adaption of IFRS 16

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.

In applying this standard retrospectively, the Company has benefited from the following exemptions

  • − The Company does not apply this standard to contracts that were not previously identified as leasing contracts in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRIC 4;
  • − The company will apply a single discount rate to a similar leasing portfolio;
  • − Operating lease agreements with the remaining lease period shorter than 12 months as at 1 January 2019 were treated as short-term leases and thus the treatment of these agreements will not change;
  • − Operating lease agreements for which the underlying asset is of low value (e.g. office equipment)

have not been recalculated and their treatment has not changed.

Operating lease agreements for which the base asset is of low value (e.g. office equipment) have not been recalculated and their treatment has not changed.

If the leasing element and non-leasing element is identified in the contract, the Company selects a practical solution according to which includes every lease element and any element accompanying non-leasing elements as a single leasing element.

In addition, in the case of a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics, the Company 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 different from the impact of applying it to individual leases under this portfolio.

The duration of a 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 Company recognises the lease liability measured at the current value of lease payments due to the lessor over the lease period discounted 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 index or the rate, initially priced using the index or the rate effective as at the starting date of the contract;
  • − amounts whose payment by the lessee is expected within the guaranteed residual value;
  • − the exercise price of the purchase option, if it can be assumed with sufficient certainty that the lessee will use this option;
  • − penalty payments for termination of the lease, if the lease terms stipulate that the lessee may use the option of termination of the lease.

At the same time, the Company 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 initial recognition, the Company recognises a lease liability by:

  • − increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on a lease liability,
  • − reducing the carrying amount to reflect lease payments paid, and
  • − updating the valuation of the carrying amount to take account of any reassessment or change in the lease or to account for substantially constant lease payments.

After the date of commencement of the lease, the asset under the right of use is measured at cost less total depreciation and (amortization) and total impairment losses as well as the lease liability adjusted for any revaluation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. If a lease agreement transfers to the Company the title of a given component before the end of a lease period or when the cost of the asset due to the right of use reflects the fact that the Company will exercise the option to buy the residual value of the leased asset, the Company depreciates the asset due to the right to use from the commencement of the lease contract until the end of the estimated useful life of the asset. In other cases, the Company depreciates assets due to the right of use from the date of commencement of the contract to the earlier of the two dates: the end date of the economic life of the asset or end date of the lease. For lease contracts, the subject of which is an asset that, in accordance with the Company's accountancy policy, is measured at fair value, the Company does not depreciate such assets due to the right to use, but measures them at fair value. For an asset under the right to use regarding the right of perpetual usufruct, which is measured at fair value in accordance with the Company's accounting policies, this value at each balance sheet date is equal to the value of the lease liability.

Main accounting principles

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets are recognised, if it is likely that they will result in economic benefits directly attributable to these assets in the future. Intangible assets are initially recognised at the purchase price or the manufacturing cost. After the initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at the purchase price or the manufacturing cost, less amortisation and impairment losses.

Records of intangible assets are conducted analytically. Tax rates are adopted in the depreciation schedule.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment, if certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is disclosed in the amount by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds the recoverable value.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment include the Company's tangible assets.

The Company's tangible assets include:

  • − property (not leased and not intended for trading) used by the Company,
  • − machinery and equipment,
  • − means of transport,
  • − other complete and usable items with an expected useful life of more than one year.

PP&E is measured and presented in the statement at the purchase price or the manufacturing cost, less depreciation and impairment losses.

Fixed assets are booked on summary accounts according to Fixed Assets Classification groups.

Fixed assets are depreciated according to declining balance method and equally through tax rates. Depreciation rates for specific groups of fixed assets are:

  • − for buildings and structures from 1.5% to 10%,
  • − for means of transport from 7% to 20%,
  • − for technical devices and machines from 4.5% to 25%,
  • − for other fixed assets from 10% to 25%.

Fixed assets with acquisition prices lower than PLN 10,000 are depreciated once in their full value under the date of purchase. Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of a given fixed asset or are recognized as a separate fixed asset (where appropriate) only when it is probable that economic benefits will be obtained by the Company in relation to this item, and the cost of the given item can be reliably measured and assessed. All other expenses for repair and maintenance are recognized in the profit and loss account in the financial period in which they were incurred.

PP&E is tested for impairment, if certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is disclosed in the amount by which the carrying value of an asset (or a cash-generating item to which an asset is related) exceeds the recoverable value, and is recognised in the profit and loss account. The recoverable value is one of the two amounts, whichever is higher: fair value less selling costs or use value.

Profits and losses on the disposal of PP&E which constitute differences between sales revenue and the carrying value of a sold PP&E item are recognised in the profit and loss account under other operating revenue/costs.

LEASING

The Company 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 company 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 Company has decided that this applies to lease agreements regarding 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 Company recognizes a right of perpetual usufruct of land granted by an administrative decision as a leasing contract. This applies to all land, including those related to development projects presented in stock.

If leasing and non-leasing elements are identified in the contract, the Company chooses a practical solution according to which it recognizes each leasing element and any accompanying non-leasing elements as a single leasing element.

In addition, in the case of a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics, the Company applies the standard to the entire portfolio when it reasonably expects that the impact that the application of this standard will have on the financial statements will not be significantly different from the impact of applying it to individual leases under this portfolio.

The duration of the lease agreement is defined as the irrevocable period of the lease agreement including also possible periods of renewal of the lease agreement if the lessee has sufficient certainty that this option will be used and the possible periods of notice for the lease agreement if the lessee has sufficient certainty that this option will be used.

At the time of the first recognition, the Company recognizes the lease liability measured at the current value of lease payments due to the lessor over the lease period discounted 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 index or the rate, initially priced using the index or the rate effective as at the starting date of the contract;
  • − amounts whose payment by the lessee is expected within the guaranteed residual value;
  • − the exercise price of the purchase option, if it can be assumed with sufficient certainty that the lessee will use this option;
  • − penalty payments for termination of the lease, if the lease terms stipulate that the lessee may use the option of termination of the lease.

At the same time, the Company 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 initial recognition, the Company recognises a lease liability by:

  • − increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on a lease liability,
  • − reducing the carrying amount to reflect lease payments paid, and
  • − updating the valuation of the carrying amount to take account of any reassessment or changes in the leases listed below (changes in the lease contract), or to reflect substantially updated constant lease payments.

Changes to the lease agreement that make it necessary to update the value of the liability include:

  • − change in the leasing period,
  • − change in the assessment of the call option of the underlying asset.

(For the above changes, the Company 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.

(For the above changes, the Company applies an unchanged discount rate, unless the change in lease payments results from changes in variable interest rates. In that case, the Company shall use a revised discount rate that reflects changes in the interest rate)

The Company shall recognise the amount of the remeasurement 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 Company 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 liability adjusted for any revaluation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. If the lease agreement transfers to the Company 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 Company will exercise the option to buy the residual value of the leased asset, the Company depreciates the asset from the right of use from the moment of commencement of the leasing contract until the end of the estimated economic useful life of the asset. In other cases, the Company 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 Company's accounting policies, is measured at fair value, the Company does not depreciate such assets due to the right of use but measures them at fair value. For an asset under the right to use regarding the right of perpetual usufruct, which is measured at fair value in accordance with the Company's accounting policies, this value at each balance sheet date is equal to the value of the lease liability. In addition, the Company applies the following simplifications:

Contract type and presentation in the balance sheet Valuation method as at the
balance sheet date
Impact on the income
statement
Office space lease agreements:
- investment property, or Fair value measurement Yes
- fixed assets Depreciation Yes
Rental agreement on means of transport:

- inventory Depreciation with simultaneous

No

(*) The fair value of the asset due to the right of usufruct resulting from the right of perpetual usufruct of land is deter mined in the amount of the leasing liability calculated on a given balance sheet day.

The Company has decided to include assets due to the right of use in the same line of the statement of financial position, in which the corresponding leased assets are presented when they are the property of the Company. 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 investment property under construction, or short-term - when perpetual usufruct concerns assets classified as inventory.

Lease liabilities are covered by IFRS 9 with respect to determining when these liabilities meet the criteria 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 released from debt, e.g. by transferring the debt to another party. The right of perpetual usufruct of land, in relation to which the Company 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 special 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 described in section 20. Methods for determining the financial result, revenues from the sale of residential and service premises are recognized when the property 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 corresponding 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 during 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 derecognised through the cost of sales.

The company as a lessor

In the case of contracts where the Company acts as a lessor, each lease contract is classified as operating 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 Company recognizes lease revenues on an on-going basis in the statement of comprehensive income. In the case of finance leases, the Company derecognises the asset that is the subject of the agreement while recognizing the lease receivable.

a. a transaction for which an underlying asset is released by a lessee ('intermediate lessor') to a third party, and the lease ('head lease') between the head lessor and lessee remains in effect.

The Company sub-leasing is classified as follows:

  • − if it was decided to choose a short-term lease exemption 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 operating lease, the indirect lessor (the Company) 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 Company):

  • − 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 receivable)
  • − continues to recognize the original lease liability

INTERESTS AND SHARES IN SUBSIDIARIES, JOINTLY CONTROLLED ENTITIES AND ASSOCI-ATES

Stocks and shares in subsidiaries, co-subsidiaries and associates, presented at purchase price adjusted for subsequent impairment losses. The impairment test is carried out when there are indications that the carrying amount of the investment will not be recovered.

The Company analyzes the net asset value of the companies in which it holds shares due to the fact that the main item of assets of these entities are investment properties, usually measured at fair value, while the largest liability item is special purpose loans and therefore the net asset value reflects fair value of the shares held. In the event that the net asset value of the company in which the Company owns investments does not correspond to fair value of these net assets, the Company determines fair value based on other methods (e.g. independent experts' valuation of the company's assets, valuation by discounted cash flow, etc.).

In case of impairment losses, adjustments are made in the income statement and are presented as an expenditure. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. If the loss is reversed, its value is recognised under financial income.

Company analyzes the net assets of the companies in which it holds shares because the main asset of these units is investment real estate measured at fair value while the largest item of liabilities are tied loans and therefore the net asset value reflects the fair value of shareholding. In the case of impairment, the write-down is recognized in the profit and loss account in the financial costs item. The impairment loss is recognised in the amount by which the balance sheet value exceeds the recoverable amount. If the write-down is reversed, its value is recognized in the financial income item.

Subsidiaries are the entities controlled by the Company.

Executing control over subsidiaries occurs in following cases:

  • − management over indicated entity,
  • − undergoing exposition for changeable returns or − possessing rights to changeable returns due to its involvement in indicated entity,
  • − possibility to execute power to influence on generated returns.

The impairment loss is recognised in the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the recoverable value. If the impairment loss is reversed, its value is recognised under financial revenue.

Associated companies are the units which the Company has a significant influence on yet are not subsidiaries or shares in joint enterprises of the Company. A significant influence is the ability to participate in decision making regarding financial and operational policies of the business but it does not involve control or co-control of the policy.

INVENTORIES

The following items are recognised under inventories: semi-finished products, work-in-progress, finished products and goods. Given the specific nature of business, the purchased land or the incurred fees due to perpetual usufruct of land are classified as "workin-progress" – if the land is intended for development and resale, or as "goods" – if the land is intended for sale. "Work-in-progress" also includes the incurred expenditures related to the process of implementing projects for sale (design services, construction works etc., performed by external contractors). "Finished products" include mainly completed residential and commercial developments sold under final agreements.

Inventories of current assets are measured at the purchase price of land and at the manufacturing costs of products in the property development business, plus capitalised financial costs, but not exceeding the net realisable value. This value is obtained based on information from the active market. An inventory write-off is reversed due to the sale of an inventory item or increase in the net selling price. Inventory write-offs disclosed in the period as cost and reversals of inventory write-downs disclosed in the period as a decrease of costs are presented in the profit and loss account under 'cost of sales'.

The 'finished goods' item includes completed apartments earmarked for sale. The 'intermediates and products in progress' item mostly includes properties held by the Company and the expenditure on residential projects under preparation or constructions. The 'goods' item includes the land earmarked for sale.

FINANCIAL ASSETS

In accordance with IFRS 9, the Company classifies its financial assets into the following categories:

  • − financial assets measured at amortized 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 moment of initial recognition. It depends on the financial instruments management model adopted by the entity and analysis of the characteristics of contractual cash flows from these instruments. As a rule, loans granted, trade receivables and trade and other receivables are measured to amortized cost by the Company, as two conditions are met for them: assets are kept under the business model which intention is to maintain assets in order to obtain flows resulting from the agreement, and contractual conditions of these financial assets cause cash flows at specified times only for repayment of capital and interest on the unpaid the outstanding amount of 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. The Company applies the weighted average purchase price as the valid method of expenditure in the area of financial instruments.

RECEIVABLES

Trade and other receivables are recognized in the balance sheet at transaction price and then at amortized cost using the effective interest method, reducing them by impairment losses. When the difference between the value at amortized cost and the value of the amount of the payment required does not have a significant effect 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 account the degree of probability of their payment by making a write-down. The rules for creating revaluation writeoffs 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 invoices documenting the granting of advance payments.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash in bank and cash in hand, short-term deposits held to maturity and other financial assets that fulfil the definition of a cash equivalent are measured at the nominal value.

Foreign currency cash is measured as of the reporting date. The same definition of cash applies to the cash flow statement.

According to the Company, the financial resources of limited disposability mostly include funds constituting security for bank guarantees and funds accumulated on open residential fiduciary accounts.

LOSS OF VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS ('ECL')

Pursuant to IFRS 9, as at each reporting day, the Company estimates the amount of the impairment loss equal to the expected credit loss ('ECL').

The Company calculates the write-off as follows for individual asset categories:

− Trade receivables

The Company 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 Company 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 payment of receivables in individual past due groups and determining the probability of non-payment of receivables from a given age range based on historical data. For the purposes of the analysis, trade receivables are divided into two groups: receivables from the sale of apartments, the lease and other receivables.

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-off for the expected credit losses of receivables is calculated. Additionally, the Company analyzes individual trade receivables and other receivables where it is highly probable they will become uncollectible, in cases justified by the type of business or the client structure - and recognizes the write-off in a reliably estimated value. Such receivables are excluded from the calculation of the allowance for expected credit losses.

− Loans granted and covered bonds

The Company calculates the expected credit losses ('ECL') for loans and bonds as the difference between the cash flows arising from the contracts signed and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive. Loans granted and covered bonds are classified as low risk instruments. Therefore, the write-off for expected credit losses is calculated for a period of 12 months.

The Company 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 Company and adjusted by the recovery ratio.

In addition, the Company provides the individual analysis of loans granted and bonds covered with a significant level of probability of default, in cases justified by the type of business or the client structure - and recognizes the write-off in a reliably estimated value. Such loans and bonds are excluded from the calculation of the write-off for expected credit losses.

FINANCIAL GUARANTEE AGREEMENTS

Financial guarantee contracts are recognized in off-balance sheet liabilities and receivables. At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is a likelihood of a need to make a withdrawal and create a provision. The amount of the provision is determined based on estimates of the amount of probable expenditure necessary to settle the liability arising from the guarantee contract.

At the same time, in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9, the Company creates the provision for expected credit losses ('ECL') due to financial guarantees granted.

The Company calculates the expected credit loss ('ECL') regarding the guarantees given as expected payments to compensate the guarantee holder for the incurred credit loss. The Company first determines the value of the Company's exposure due to guarantees granted (the actual total value of the contingent liability as at the balance sheet date) and reduces it by any amounts that the entity expects to receive from the guarantee holder, the debtor or any other party. The net exposure resulting from the guarantee thus determined is multiplied by the default ratio (determined on the basis of the margin on bonds issued by the Company and adjusted for the recovery ratio).

INCOME TAX

ncome tax on the profit or loss for the financial year includes current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognised in the profit and loss account, except for amounts related to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income; in this case, income tax is disclosed in equity and other comprehensive income respectively.

The current portion of income tax is the expected amount of tax on taxable income for a given year, calculated based on the tax rates determined as of the balance sheet date along 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 differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax values used to calculate the tax base, except for temporary differences which arise at the time of initial recognition of an asset or liability, and do not affect the accounting or tax result. Deferred tax is not created for temporary differences on investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates, if the Company controls the reversal of these differences and they will not be reversed in foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets due to tax loss are created, if the settlement of the loss in the following years is probable.

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 income tax is estimated on every balance sheet date by recognising differences in the profit and loss account, other comprehensive income or equity, depending where the temporary difference from which the deferred tax is subtracted was recognised. Assets and provisions on deferred income tax are presented jointly.

EQUITY

Share capital is measured at the nominal value disclosed in the National Court Register. Differences between the fair value of a payment and the nominal value of shares are recognised in the share premium.

The issue costs of shares decrease the Company's supplementary capital down to the amount of the share premium.

PROVISIONS

Provisions are established when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and when it is probable that the fulfilment of that obligation will involve an outflow of assets representing economic benefits and the amount of such obligation can be credibly estimated.

Provisions are measured at the current value of costs estimated by the Company's management according to its best knowledge which must be incurred to settle a current liability as of the balance sheet date.

In accordance with the adopted principle, no provisions are made for retirement benefits. Due to the age of employees and their rotation, potential reserves would not have a significant impact on the presented financial statements. Upon their occurrence, the payment of retirement severance pays will be booked on a cash basis.

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Financial liabilities include loans, borrowings, debt securities, not payable interest on bank loans accounted 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 selling rate of the bank serving the Company.

Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value less transaction costs, and then measured using the "amortized cost" method. The valuation of liabilities includes all costs of obtaining financing, including 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 obtaining 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 effective interest method. In cases where the difference between the value at amortized cost and the value in the amount of the payment required does not have a significant effect on the financial results of the Company, such liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet in the amount of the payment required.

CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

The functional currency of the Company is the Polish Zloty (PLN, zł.). Foreign currencies as at the balance sheet day are valued at the NBP exchange rate as at the balance sheet day. Exchange differences arising as at the date of their valuation and when the payment of receivables and liabilities in foreign currencies, are included respectively in financial income or costs, and in justified cases, the cost of manufacturing products or the purchase price of goods, as well as the purchase price or production cost of fixed assets, fixed assets under construction or intangible assets.

CASH FLOW STATEMENT

The cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method. Liabilities due to overdraft facilities are presented as debt due to loan and not as cash equivalents.

SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company does not separate segments according to IFRS 8, paragraph 4. This information is presented in the consolidated financial statements of the Echo Investment Capital Group.

NET PROFIT PER SHARE

The net profit per share for each period is calculated by dividing the net profit for a given period attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent entity by the weighted average number of shares issued during the period.

Methods of determining the financial result

The financial result is determined from the profit and loss account 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.

OPERATING REVENUE

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.

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.

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. This item also includes costs that are directly related to revenue from related entities on account of services provided (including investment services, construction and engineering consultancy).

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 detailed identification of the costs associated with employ¬ees' salaries as part of the cost of sales, is made on the basis of the employee's working time records, broken down into the individual projects developed.

ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROJECTS

Project-related administrative costs include the administrative costs which are indirectly related to the execution of development projects such as: perpetual usufruct fees, real property taxes, operating fees, property protection, administrative staff's remuner-ation, employee maintenance costs in the portion attributable to the project, and other stock maintenance related costs.

These costs, despite their indirect connection with development projects, are not capitalized in the value of stock / investment property because:

  • − in the light of IAS 2, they are excluded from the purchase price or cost of stock production as they are not incurred in order to bring the stock to its current status and location;
  • − IAS 40 in relations to IAS 16, does not allow to capitalize general and administrative costs in the value of investment properties.

FINANCING COSTS

Financial costs related to the current period are recognized in the profit and loss account, 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.

In case of targeted financing, incurred to implement a project, the amount of financial costs, less income from temporary deposits of cash (i.e. amounts of interest on bank deposits, except for deposits resulting from blocking accounts, letters of credit agreement) is activated. In the case of general financing, financing costs subject to the capitalization are determined using the weighted average of all borrowing costs in relation to the expenditure incurred for a given asset.

Pursuant to 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 manual construction. They also include technical and administrative work preceding manual construction, such as activities related to obtaining necessary permits, design and preparation works. However, such activities do not include the holding of the asset if it is not accompanied by any processes that change the condition of the asset.

Effects of changing the principles of accounting used – transformations of financial statements for previous periods

The annual standalone financial statements were prepared in accordance with the IFRS applicable to the preparation of financial statements.

The accounting policies applied in these separate financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its separate financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

First-time adoption of IFRS 16 Leases

The Company has applied IFRS 16 Leases since 1 January 2019. The standard introduced one lease model in lessee's accounting books - in general, IFRS 16 includes all lease agreements in a model similar to the financial lease model in accordance with IAS 17. The new IFRS 16 Leases replaces the existing IAS 17 standard and interpretations IFRIC 4, SIC 15 and SIC 27. Under IFRS 16, an agreement is a lease or includes a lease if it transfers the right to control an identified asset for a given period of time in exchange for consideration. As at the date of transition to IFRS 16, the Company recognized an asset due to the right to use and lease liabilities. The Company separately recognizes the cost of interest and depreciation. In applying this standard retrospectively, the Company used the following exemptions:

  • − the Company does not apply this standard to agreements that have not previously been identified as lease agreements in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRIC 4;
  • − the Company will apply a single discount rate to a similar leases portfolio;
  • − operating lease agreements, with the remaining lease period shorter than 12 months on 1 January 2019, were recognized as short-term leases and thus the treatment of these agreements will not change;

− operating lease contracts for which an underlying asset is of low value (e.g. office equipment) were not recalculated and their treatment were not changed.

The Company did not separate lease and non-lease elements.

As at 1 January 2019, the Company as a lessee recognized lease liabilities valued at current value of other lease fees, discounted at the Company's marginal interest rates, and recognised assets under the right to use in the amount equal to lease liabilities. The Company decided to present assets under the right to use under the same item in which the relevant underlying assets would be presented if they were owned by the Company (the lessee).

The impact of the adaption of IFRS 16 on 1 January 2019 resulted in the recognition of assets under the right to use and lease liabilities in the amount of PLN 23,891,000, of which PLN 9,558,000 concerns to inventory, PLN 7,894,000 concerns office space, and PLN 6,439,000 concerns cars. The adaption of IFRS 16 for the first time did not affect the result from previous years of the Company.

Material estimates of the Company's management board

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 management's best knowledge of current and future events and activities, however actual results may differ from expectations. The estimates and related assumptions are subject to ongoing verification. A change in accounting estimates is recognized in the period in which they were changed, if it concerns this period only, or in the current and future period, if the changes apply to both the current and future periods.

The main areas where the Management Board's estimates materially affect the financial statements:

INVENTORY

When estimating the write-down on in-ventory 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.

LEASING

The implementation and application of IFRS 16 required the Company to make various estimates and commit professional judgment. The main area in which it concerned the assessment of lease periods, in case of contracts for an indefinite period and contracts for which the Company was entitled to extend the contract. When determining the leasing period, the Company had to consider all facts and circumstances, including the existence of economic incentives to use or not to extend the contract and any termination option. The Company also estimated 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 component to which the lease relates.

IMPAIRMENT OF INTERESTS IN SUB-SIDIARIES, JOINTLY CONTROLLED ENTITIES AND ASSOCIATES

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, jointly-controlled 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 com-panies. 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 31 December 2018, 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.

When calculating the impairment of interests, shares and funds held in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities, the Company refers to the net value of the these companies' assets and takes into consideration the cash flow generated by investment properties held by these companies. The fair values of financial instruments do not differ significantly from the carrying amounts.

ANALYSIS OF EXPOSURE TO IMPAIR-MENT OF INTERESTS, SHARES AND FUNDS [PLN '000]

DEFERRED INCOME TAX

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 temporary 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.

UNCERTAINTY CONNECTED WITH TAX SETTLEMENTS

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 reorganization of the group.

Financial risk management

PRICE RISK

The price risk is not material. The Company does not trade in securities on any active market. The Company may conclude transactions on derivatives to hedge against the FX risk related to the forecast cash flows.

RISK OF CHANGES IN CASH FLOWS AND FAIR VALUE RELATED TO INTER-EST RATE

The Company's exposure to the interest rate risk is related to financial assets and liabilities, in particular the granted borrowings, cash, the received bank loans and the issued bonds. Borrowings, loans and bonds bearing a variable interest rate expose the Company to the interest rate risk, while borrowings and loans with a fixed interest rate expose the Company to variations of the fair value of financial instruments. In addition, the Company is exposed to the risk of interest rate variations when raising a new loan or refinancing an existing long-term debt.

FX RISK

As of the balance sheet date and during the financial year, the Company did not hold any other material foreign currency cash. Therefore, the risk has been estimated as not material and no analysis has been performed of the exposure of other balance sheet items to changing foreign exchange rates.

CREDIT RISK

The credit risk occurs in cash, borrowings granted, derivatives, deposits in banks and financial institutions as well as, in relation to the Company's customers and tenants, in the form of unsettled amounts due. The nature of the Company's operations in the area of the sale of residential space, lease and services means that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk.

As at 31 December 2018, the Company estimated the value of impairment write downs on trade receivables, applying a provision matrix based on historical data regarding the repayment of receivables by counterparties 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 below presents data on exposures and the amount of the loss allowance.

The company performs individual analysis of trade receivables. As at 31.12.2018 a write-off for receivables in the amount of PLN 1 million was created.

The Company has procedures in place to protect the credit worthiness of its customers and tenants; security deposits and guarantees are also used for tenants. There is no significant concentration of risk in relation to any of the Company's customers outside the Echo Investment Group. In relation to related entities, the credit risk, in the opinion of the Management Board, is minimised through regular monitoring of operating activities and the assessment of investment projects of

these companies. For cash and deposits in financial institutions and in banks, the Company uses the services of renowned institutions.

With regard to all classes of financial assets, the Company considers that the credit risk associated with financial instruments is too low. In the opinion of the Management Board, in view of the presented activity characteristics, the risk of non-performance of contractual obligations is small, the debtors of the Company have a high short-term ability to fulfil their obligations within the scope of contracts concluded with the Company, and possible adverse changes in business and economic 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 concluded agreements.

LIQUIDITY RISK

The liquidity risk occurs when the Company is unable to settle its financial liabilities in due time. The Company manages the liquidity risk by maintaining an adequate amount of supplementary capital, using bank services and reserve loan facilities, and by constantly monitoring the forecast and actual cash flows. Given the dynamic nature of its business, the Company ensures flexible funding through the availability of cash and by diversifying the sources of funding.

In the opinion of the Management Board, the Company has sufficient cash to settle all liabilities in due time. In the long term, the liquidity risk is minimised by the available bank loans. At any time, the Company may use sufficient funds from the loan facilities granted by banks. The analyses of the Company's financial liabilities and derivatives settled in the net amount which will be settled at specific maturities, based on the period remaining until the contractual maturity as of the balance sheet date, have been presented in the respective notes: loans, borrowings, debt securities, trade receivables and trade liabilities.

Capital risk management

The Company's objective in terms of capital management is to protect the Company's ability to continue its business, allowing for the generation of returns for the shareholders, and to maintain an optimal structure of capital to reduce its cost.

When managing this risk, the Company makes decisions on the financial leverage, the dividend policy, the issue of new shares, the repurchase and subsequent redemption or resale of the issued shares, or the sale of assets to reduce debt.

The Company monitors the capital using debt ratios. This ratio is calculated as the relation between net debt and total equity. The net debt is calculated as the sum of loans and borrowings (including current and long-term loans and borrowings disclosed in the balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. The total value of capital is calculated as equity disclosed in the balance sheet along with the net debt.

Zilles –Member of the Supervisory Board. Therefore, the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders,

held on 9 January 2020, appointed Noah Steinberg to the Supervisory Board, who was asigned to be Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Tibor Veres, who became Vice-Chairman of the Supervisory Board, and Péter Kocsis and Bence Sass, who became Supervisory Board Members of the current term. New members of the Supervisory Board are related to the Hungarian company Wing, which is the new main shareholder of Echo Investment.

6.2 Wing's announcement of a tender offer to sell additional 10.04 percent shares of Echo Investment

Due to Wing indirectly exceeded the threshold of 33 percent of the shares and the votes at the General Meeting of Shareholders of Echo Investment, on 3 February 2020 the Hungarian company announced the tender offer for the sale of additional 41,444,928 shares of Echo Investment, entitling to 10.04 percent of

the total number of the votes at the General Meeting of Shareholders, at a price of PLN 4.65 per share. Subscriptions started on 21 February 2020 and ended on 18 March 2020.

The tender offer is conducted through Santander Biuro Maklerskie brokerage house.

6.3 Preliminary agreement of three plots with first generation shopping centres in Cracow, Poznań and Łódź

On 28 February 2020, Echo Investment has signed preliminary contracts to acquire the plots situated in Poznań at Opieńskiego Street, Łódź at Widzewska Street and Cracow at Kapelanka Street. The sites belonging to companies of the Tesco Group are perfectly located and consistent with the Echo Investment's strategy to continue growing the residential part of the business. The developer plans to dedicate all the plots to mixed use projects. On the sites the company is to deliver 4,000 apartments, retail space and in Cracow also a building with office purposes. The existing shopping centers will be managed by Echo Investment until construction works begin. The Tesco's office space and store in Cracow will operate undistracted until a new building has been developed on the plot to relocate the store and offices. The projects in Poznań and Łódź will continue to operate until permits are in place and construction starts. The total area of the acquired plots amounts to 190,000 sqm. The net price will amounts to EUR 42.5 million. The transaction will be concluded not later than early 2021, after fulfilment of certain conditions of preliminary agreement.

This is another transaction concluded between Echo Investment and Tesco. At the end of last year, the developer bought Tesco in Kabaty in Warsaw at Komisji Edukacji Narodowej Street from the retail chain. This area located next to the metro station in Kabaty is going to be transformed into a destination project.

6.4 Impact of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 outbreak on the operations and financial results of the companyshopping centres in Cracow, Poznań and Łódź

Based on preliminary analysis, the Management Board of the company announced to the company shareholders that, according to its current knowledge and assessment, the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent Government imposed limitations related to them may, depending on their duration and intensity, significantly and adversely affect the operations and financial results of the Company.

The influence, in particular, may be related to:

  • a. income generated by shopping centers due to the limitations imposed on shopping centers' functioning, including cinemas and gastronomic establishments (as Echo Investment owns Libero in Katowice and 30% of Galeria Młociny in Warsaw);
  • b. residential apartments' sales volume, in particular in the event of potential tightening of the mortgage loan eligi-

bility criteria by banks or other disruptions on the housing or banking market;

  • c. timely execution of projects and transactions undertaken by the Company or its related entities within a planned schedule, in particular due to possible delays in construction works, caused by potential shortages of the construction personnel and/or interruptions in supplies of material and components;
  • d. timing of the sale of commercial projects and their prices that may be achieved; and
  • e. availability and terms of new financing if banks and other lenders are materially affected by the extended economic downturn.

The Management Board is implementing certain actions aimed at mitigating to the extent possible the adverse impact of the factors mentioned above, which, in particular, may be partially offset in the future by the potential decrease in costs of construction works resulting from the reduced demand.
