The consolidated annual report consists of:

  • 1. Letter from the President of the Management Board
  • 2. Selected financial data
  • 3. The auditor's opinion and report on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015

Dear Sirs / Madams,

On behalf of the Management Board of Polski Holding Nieruchomości S.A., I have the pleasure to present you the Annual Report of Polski Holding Nieruchomości S.A. and the Group for 2015, which contains an overview of key events and financial results achieved in the previous year.

In financial terms, 2015 was a good year. The Group achieved stable financial results and increased its rental result. It significantly improved its adjusted EBITDA, which in 2015 increased by 27% YoY to PLN 32.3 million. However, due to the changing situation in the real estate market, revaluation write-offs were made for properties, as a result of which the Group's consolidated net profit as of the end of 2015 amounted to PLN 50.8 million.

In 2015, Polski Holding Nieruchomości S.A. gradually strengthened its position of the leading investor in the modern commercial property market in Poland. July 2015 saw the commissioning of the Company's flagship project, Domaniewska Office Hub – an A-class office building located in the business heart of the Mokotów district, with an area of over 27,000 sq.m. This area constitutes almost 10% of modern office area commissioned in Warsaw in 2015. The Group's real estate portfolio was also joined by Andersia Business Center – highest class office building situated in a prime location in Poznań, which enriched the Company's modern office space by c.a. 15,000 sq.m.

In 2016, we will focus on improving our operating results. We will carefully analyze all activities being performed as well as investment projects – planned and under preparation. We will continue to improve effectiveness and professionalize our activities in particular segments. Our goal is to formulate an optimum growth path which will precisely match the current market situation and, most importantly, bring benefits for the Company and its Shareholders.

We will also strive to intensify mutual efforts of state-owned entities, which assume implementing principles aimed at regulating the cooperation and activities of institutions and companies with the Treasury's stake. We are convinced that such cooperation and its effects will have a positive impact on economic development and will enable the entities from the group created by companies with the Treasury's stake to compete with foreign companies.

On behalf of the Management Board of Polski Holding Nieruchomości S.A., I would like to thank all Group employees for their efforts in the past year, and the Supervisory Board for its engagement. I wish to extend special thanks to our Shareholders. Your trust is for us an expression of highest appreciation, and encourages us to set ourselves ambitious goals. I also assure you that 2016 will bring further numerous successes of the Polski Holding Nieruchomości S.A. Group.

Yours sincerely,

Maciej Jankiewicz President of the Management Board of Polski Holding Nieruchomości S.A.

2. Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the EU ("IFRS EU"). IFRS comprise standards and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and by the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future. As at the date of preparation of the financial statements, there are no circumstances indicating any threats to the Group continuing in operation.

The duration of the operations of the Parent Company and the Group entities is unlimited.

The Polish zloty ("PLN") is the Group's presentation currency. Unless stated otherwise, all data in the Group's financial statements are presented in PLN million.

3. New standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective

In these consolidated financial statements the Group did not decide to apply early the following published standards, interpretations or improvements to the existing standards before the date of their coming into force.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

The standard introduces a single model providing only two categories of financial assets: measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The classification is made at initial recognition and depends on the entity's business model applied to manage financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of these instruments.

IFRS 9 introduces a new model for determining impairment losses – the expected credit losses (ECL) model.

Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The key change is that an entity will be required to present the effects of changes in own credit risk of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss in other comprehensive income.

In terms of hedge accounting, changes were designed to more closely match hedge accounting to risk management.

The Group will apply IFRS 9 after it has been adopted by the European Union.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for investment properties and financial instruments classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires using certain significant accounting estimates. It also requires that the Management Board uses its own judgment in applying the accounting policies adopted by the Group. The issues that require exercising significant judgement or which are particularly complex, or the areas in the case of which the assumptions and estimates made have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements, are presented in Note 5.3.

As at the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, IFRS 9 had not yet been adopted by the European Union.

Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions – Amendments to IAS 19

Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board in November 2013 and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2015.

The amendments allow entities to recognize employee contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the related employee service is rendered, instead of attributing the contributions to the periods of service if the amount of the employee contributions is independent of the number of years of service.

The Group will apply the amendments to IAS 19 as from 1 January 2016.

IFRS Improvements 2010-2012

In December 2013, the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS Improvements 2010-2012 which amend seven standards. The improvements include changes in presentation, recognition and measurement as well as terminology and editorial changes. The amendments are effective in the European Union for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2015.

The Group will apply the above IFRS Improvements as from 1 January 2016.

IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts

The standard permits first-time adopters to continue to recognize amounts arising from rate-regulated activities in accordance with their previously binding accounting standards. However, to improve comparability with entities that already apply IFRS and do not recognize such amounts, IFRS 14 requires that the effect of rate regulation be presented separately from other items both in the statement of financial position and in the income statement and the statement of other comprehensive income.

By Decision of the European Union, IFRS 14 will not be adopted.

Amendments to IFRS 11 concerning acquisition of interest in a joint operation

This amendment to IFRS 11 requires the investor when he acquires an interest in a joint operation that constitutes a business as defined in IFRS 3 to apply the accounting rules on businesses combinations in accordance with IFRS 3 and the rules under other standards, unless they are contrary to the guidance set out in IFRS 11. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2016.

The Group will apply the amendment as from 1 January 2016.

Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 concerning depreciation and amortization

The amendments clarify that the application of the revenuebased method of depreciation and amortization is not appropriate because revenue generated in operations which make use of the assets in question also reflect factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the asset.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2016.

The Group will apply the amendments as from 1 January 2016.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers was issued by the International Accounting Standards Board on 28 May 2014 and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

The principles set out in IFRS 15 will apply to all contracts resulting in revenue. The new standard introduces the core principle that revenue must be recognized when the goods or services are transferred to the customer, at the transaction price. Any bundled goods or services that are distinct must be separately recognized, and any discounts or rebates on the transaction price must generally be allocated to the separate elements. When the value of revenues varies for any reason, under the new standard the variable amounts must be recognized as revenues providing that it is highly probable that the recognition of the revenues will not be reversed in the future as a result of remeasurement. Additionally, according to IFRS 15 costs incurred to secure contracts with customers have to be capitalized and amortized over the period when the benefits of the contract are consumed.

The Group will apply IFRS 15 as from 1 January 2018.

As at the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, IFRS 15 had not yet been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 concerning sales or contributions of assets between an investor and its associates or joint ventures

The amendments solve the problem of the current inconsistency between IFRS 10 and IAS 28. The accounting treatment depends on whether non-monetary assets sold or contributed to an associate or a joint venture constitute a business.

When the non-monetary assets do constitute a business, the investor shall show a full gain or loss on the transaction. If however the assets do not meet the definition of a business, the investor shall recognize a gain or loss excluding the part constituting other investors' interests.

The amendments were issued on 11 September 2014. The effective date of the amended regulations has not been determined by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The Group will apply the amendments as from the date of the regulations coming into force in line with the decisions of the International Accounting Standards Board.

As at the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, these amendments had not yet been adopted by the European Union.

IFRS Improvements 2012-2014

In September 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS Improvements 2012-2014 which amend four standards: IFRS 5, IFRS 7, IAS 19 and IAS 34. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2016.

The accounting policies and notes to the consolidated financial statements on pages 13–45 are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

The Group will apply the above IFRS Improvements as from 1 January 2016.

Amendments to IAS 1

In December 2014, as part of its Disclosure Initiative, the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IAS 1. The purpose of issuing the amendment is to clarify the concept of materiality and to explain that if an entity concludes that certain information is immaterial, it should not be disclosed, even if, in principle, such disclosure is required by another IFRS. In the amended IAS 1, it has been explained that the items presented in the statement of financial position and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income can be aggregated or disaggregated, depending on their materiality. Additional guidance was also introduced concerning the presentation of subtotals in these statements. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2016.

The Group will apply the above amendments as from 1 January 2016.

Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 concerning excluding investment entities from consolidation

In December 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board issued the so-called narrow-scope amendment. Amendment to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 titled Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception specifies the requirements concerning investment entities and introduces certain facilitations.

The standard clarifies that an entity should measure all of its subsidiaries which are investment entities at fair value through profit or loss. Moreover, it has been clarified that the exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements when the higher level parent company prepares publicly available financial statements applies regardless of whether the subsidiaries are consolidated or measured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 10 in the financial statements of the top or higher level parent company. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2016.

The Group will apply the above amendments as from 1 January 2016.

As at the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the IFRS Amendments had not yet been adopted by the European Union.

IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 Leases was published by the International Accounting Standards Board on 13 January 2016 and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

The new standard sets the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures concerning leases. All lease transactions result in the lessee obtaining the right to use an asset and a liability arising from the obligation to pay. Thus, IFRS 16 cancels the classification into operating and finance leases in accordance with IAS 17 and introduces one accounting model for leases on the part of the lessee. The lessee will be obliged to recognize: (a) assets and liabilities for all lease transactions concluded for a period of more than 12 months, except for situations when a given asset is of low value; and (b) depreciation of the leased asset separately from interest on the lease liability in the statement of profit or loss.

To a considerable extent, IFRS 16 repeats the regulations contained in IAS 17 concerning the accounting treatment of leases by the lessor. In consequence, the lessor continues the classification into operating and finance leases and diversifies the accounting treatment accordingly.

The Group will apply the amendments as from the date of the regulations coming into force in line with the decisions of the International Accounting Standards Board.

As at the date of preparing these consolidated financial statements, the amendment has not yet been endorsed by the European Union.

Amendments to IAS 12 concerning recognition of a deferred asset on unrealized tax losses

Amendment to IAS 12 clarifies the requirements concerning recognition of a deferred tax asset on unrealized tax losses related to debt instruments. An entity will be obliged to recognize a deferred tax asset on unrealized losses when it is a result of discounting cash flows related to a debt instrument, using a market interest rate, also when the entity intends to maintain the debt instruments to maturity, and on receipt of the principal amount there will be no obligation to pay taxes. Economic benefits reflected in a deferred tax asset arise from the possibility of the holder of the above-mentioned instruments obtaining future profits (reversing the discounting effect) without the need to pay taxes.

The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017.

The accounting policies and notes to the consolidated financial statements on pages 13–45 are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

The Group will apply the above amendments as from 1 January 2017.

As at the date of preparing these consolidated financial statements, the amendment had not yet been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IAS 7: Disclosure Initiative

The amendment to IAS 7 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. Entities will be obliged to disclose the reconciliation of changes in liabilities arising from financial activities.

4. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013, except for:

  • the application of hedge accounting in the financial year:
  • fair value hedges in connection with hedging the fair value of properties against the risk of EUR/PLN fluctuations (currency risk);
  • cash flow hedges in connection with hedging cash flows from interest expense against the risk of interest rate fluctuations in the loan drawn for property financing.
  • the application of the following amendments to the standards and new interpretations effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2015:

IFRS Improvements 2011-2013

In December 2013, the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS Improvements 2011-2013 which amend four standards. The improvements include changes in presentation, recognition and measurement as well as terminology and editorial changes.

4.1 Investment properties

Property which was acquired or constructed for the purpose of generating benefits from its lease or from an increase in its value, or from both, and which is not used by the PHN Group companies for administrative purposes, is classified as investment property. Investment property comprises land, freehold buildings and perpetual usufruct of land. Rights to perpetual usufruct of land are treated as land ownership and classified either as property, plant and equipment or as investment properties, depending on their nature.

Initially, investment properties are recognized at purchase price or cost of manufacture.

After initial recognition investment properties are stated at fair value based on the comparative valuation method, income

The Group will apply the above amendments as from 1 January 2017.

As at the date of preparing these consolidated financial statements, the amendment had not yet been adopted by the European Union.

The Management Board is currently analysing the impact of the standards and interpretations which have been issued but are not yet effective on the results and financial position of the Group.

IFRIC 21 Levies

The interpretation clarifies the accounting treatment of liabilities to pay levies other than income taxes. An obligating event is an event specified in the regulations resulting in the need to pay a levy. The fact that the entity will continue in operation in the subsequent period or prepares the financial statements in accordance with the going concern principle does not give rise to an obligation to recognize a liability. The same principles for recognizing a liability relate to annual and interim financial statements. Applying the interpretation to liabilities in respect of emissions is optional.

The application of the above amendments to the standards and new interpretations effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2015 had no impact on the Group's financial position or results of operations or the scope of the information presented in the Group's financial statements

valuation method or residual value method. The fair value determined using the income method is calculated using the expected cash flows based on the prices prevailing on an active market adjusted – if necessary – for the difference in the type, location or status of a given asset. Valuations are performed annually by independent surveyors in accordance with the Practice Statements of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors' (RICS) Appraisal and Valuation Standards (the "Red Book"). Remuneration for investment property valuation is not linked to the value of the investment property or valuation result.

The fair value of investment property reflects, among others, revenues from current lease agreements and assumptions relating to lease revenues under future agreements based on

current market conditions. The carrying amount of investment property is increased by any subsequent expenditure if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits that are related to the asset will flow to the Group, and its value can be assessed in a reliable manner. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the profit/loss for the period in which they are incurred.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognized in the consolidated

4.2 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment held by the Group comprise:

  • property (not leased and not held for trading) used by the Group for administrative purposes or for the purpose of operating hotels;
  • plant and machinery;
  • motor vehicles;
  • other assets which are complete and ready for use with an expected useful life of more than one year.

Property, plant and equipment are measured and presented in the statement of financial position at acquisition cost or cost of development less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Freehold land held by Group is not depreciated. Other items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives, which are verified on a quarterly basis. The expected useful lives are as follows:

  • buildings and structures 22 to 40 years;
  • plant and machinery 2 to 5 years;
  • motor vehicles from 1.5 to 5 years;
  • other equipment up to 5 years.

Any subsequent expenditure is included in the carrying amount of the given fixed asset, or – where appropriate – is recognized as a separate item, but only if it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group and the cost of the given item can

4.3 Intangible assets

Intangible assets of the Group comprise computer software. Acquired computer software licences are capitalized in the amount of costs incurred on their purchase and preparing the software for use. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of their economic useful lives (up to 5 years).

Intangible assets are recognized if it is probable that the future economic benefits that are directly attributable to the asset will flow to the Group. Initially intangible assets are recorded at acquisition cost or cost of production. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are stated at acquisition cost or cost of production less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.

statement of comprehensive income for the period in which they originated. Gain/loss on disposal of investment property is disclosed in a separate item of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

If an investment property is an owner-occupied property, it is reclassified into fixed assets and its fair value as at the date of reclassification is treated as a cost for the purpose of fixed assets measurement.

be reliably measured. All other expenditure on repair and preventive maintenance is recognized in the profit/loss for the period in which it was incurred.

Property, plant and equipment are assessed for impairment if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be realized. Impairment losses are recognized in the amount by which an asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount and are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's fair value less selling expenses and its value in use.

Gains or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment representing the difference between the sales revenue and the carrying amount of the disposed asset are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income under "other operating income" and "other operating expenses".

Assets under construction

Assets under construction of Group companies are measured at acquisition cost increased by the costs of any subsequent expenditure which comprises expenditure relating directly to the costs of preparation of the asset for its intended use. Administrative expenses are not taken into account unless they can be directly attributed to individual projects. Borrowing costs are capitalized until the date of project completion.

Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which are verified on a quarterly basis. The expected useful lives are as follows:

  • concessions, patents, licences, etc. up to 5 years;
  • other assets up to 5 years.

Intangible assets are assessed for impairment if events or a change in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized in the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

The accounting policies and notes to the consolidated financial statements on pages 13–45 are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

4.4 Measurement of items denominated in foreign currencies

4.4.1 Functional currency and presentation currency

Items included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group are measured in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ("functional currency"). All the Group companies have the same functional and

4.4.2 Transactions and balances

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the Company at the rate of exchange actually applied on the transaction date that results from the nature of a given business operation (in the case of sale or purchase of foreign currencies or payment of receivables or liabilities) or for all other operations at the average exchange rate published for the given currency by the National Bank of Poland prevailing on the day preceding that date. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the mid exchange rate for the given currency determined by the National Bank of Poland as at that date. Exchange gains and losses on settlements of these transactions and the balance sheet valuation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss.

4.5 Impairment of non- financial assets

Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which an asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's fair value less selling expenses and its value in use. For the purpose of impairment analysis, assets are grouped at the lowest level for

4.6 Operating and finance leases

(a) The Group as the lessor

Property under operating lease agreements is recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position under investment properties. Fees under operating lease agreements are recognized as revenues in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. The Group does not hold investment property under finance lease agreements.

(b) The Group as the lessee

Operating leases

Leases whereby the major part of the risks and benefits from ownership remains with the lessor comprise operating leases.

Lease fees under operating lease agreements are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

presentation currency, which is the Polish zloty (PLN). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Polish zlotys (PLN).

Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to liabilities in respect of borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the statement of comprehensive income under finance income or costs. All other gains or losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income under other income/other expenses. Foreign exchange differences on translation of non-monetary assets or financial liabilities such as equity instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss and are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as part of the profit or loss on remeasurement to fair value. Foreign exchange differences on translation of such non-monetary financial assets as financial instruments classified as available-for-sale financial assets are disclosed under other comprehensive income.

which separate cash inflows can be identified (cash generating units). Non-financial assets, for which impairment losses have been previously identified, are at each reporting date verified for the possibility of impairment loss reversal.

Finance leases

Lease agreements are classified as finance leases if substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are transferred to the lessee. Assets under finance leases are capitalized at origination of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the asset and the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the financial liability and finance costs so as to produce a constant rate of return. The respective lease (rental) liabilities reduced by finance costs are recognized as current or non-current debt. Interest on finance costs is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the lease term so as to produce a constant interest rate on the outstanding lease liability in each period.

The accounting policies and notes to the consolidated financial statements on pages 13–45 are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

4.7 Financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories:

  • Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss assets and liabilities acquired or incurred in order to sell or repurchase in the near term;
  • Investments held to maturity financial assets which are not derivative financial instruments, quoted on an active market, with fixed or determinable payments and with fixed maturity dates, which the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold until maturity;
  • Loans and receivables financial assets which are not derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments, which are not quoted on an active market;
  • Available-for-sale financial assets non-derivative financial assets which are not classified as financial assets at fair

4.8 Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value; subsequently, trade and other receivables are stated at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method (if it is significantly lower) less impairment losses, if any. The value of receivables is written down depending on the likelihood of their being received.

Impairment write-downs against trade and other receivables are recognized at the end of each quarter, if objective evidence exists that the Group will not be able to recover all amounts due and receivable under the original terms and conditions. The objective evidence of receivables' impairment includes serious financial problems of debtors or significantly delayed payments. The amount of the write-down is the difference between the

4.9 Inventories

Included in inventories are semi-finished goods, work in progress, finished goods, goods for resale and prepayments for inventories. Due to the specific nature of operations, purchased land or fees for the right to perpetual usufruct are classified as work in progress if the purchased land is earmarked for development, or as goods for resale if the purchased land is earmarked for sale. Finished goods comprise mainly private accommodation or usable space (premises) sold based on final agreements.

Stocks of current assets are stated at the acquisition cost of land and at the cost of property development products increased by capitalized finance costs.

value through the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, loans and receivables or assets held to maturity.

The above classification is based on the criterion of the purpose of financial assets acquisition. The Management Board classifies the financial assets upon their initial recognition. Regular financial asset purchase and sale transactions are recognized as at the transaction date – i.e. as at the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell a given asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or were transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Financial assets available for sale and financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at fair value. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

receivable's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows associated with the receivable. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income under other expenses. Any future repayments of receivables for which an impairment allowance was recognized are taken to "other income" in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Prepayments for inventories are stated at the amount of cash expensed.

If, however, the difference between amortized cost and the amount due and receivable does not have any material effect on the Group's financial results, such receivables are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position in the amount due and receivable.

Inventories are stated at amounts no higher than their net realizable value. The net realizable value is determined based on information from an active market. Impairment of inventories is reversed either on their disposal or on an increase in their net realizable value. Inventories' impairment losses recognized or reversed in the period and recognized as revenue are disclosed in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income under costs of property development

The Group classifies its housing stock as current assets or noncurrent assets according to the stage of their development (completion) under the operating cycle of the given company. Usually a normal operating cycle lasts from 1 to 5 years. As at

The accounting policies and notes to the consolidated financial statements on pages 13–45 are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014, all open housing projects were disclosed under inventories related to development activities in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Investment properties which are adapted for future sales are reclassified to inventories at deemed cost, i.e. at their carrying

4.10 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash at bank, cash in hand and current deposits held to maturity as well as other financial assets are stated at nominal value. Interest realized on current deposits is recognized in the consolidated statement of cash flows under cash flows from investing activities.

4.11 Discontinued operations

In 2011, the Management Board of the Dalmor S.A Group took action to liquidate the fishing business and the company DKP Dalmor Sp. z o.o. The liquidation process of DKP Dalmor Sp. z o.o began on 5 October 2011. As at the date of these

4.12 Equity

Share capital is the capital contributed by the shareholders and it is stated at the nominal value.

Reserve capital comprises:

  • the difference between the fair value of the payment received and the nominal value of the shares;
  • capital created and used in accordance with the Commercial Companies Code Act.

Revaluation reserve comprises:

4.13 Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially stated at fair value. After initial recognition, trade and other payables are stated at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Where the difference between payables stated at amortized cost and in the amount due and payable does not have any significant effect on the financial results of the Group, such payables are stated at the amount due and payable.

Retentions for construction contracts (property development) comprise both invoiced and uninvoiced amounts.

Financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings. Loans and borrowings in foreign currencies are stated at the average NBP rate prevailing for the given currency as at that date. Financial 4.14 Income tax

Income tax for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

amount at the date of reclassification. After initial recognition they are stated at cost of development no higher than their net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price achievable in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of project completion and costs to sell.

As at the date of the report, cash in foreign currencies is stated at the average National Bank of Poland exchange rate prevailing for the given currency at that date. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the same definition of cash is adopted.

  • hedge accounting reserve.

Retained earnings comprise profits or losses for the current period and other capital items created and used in accordance with the provisions of the law.

liabilities are measured at amortized cost in accordance with IAS 39.

Current tax is the amount of tax calculated on taxable income for the given year using the tax rates enacted at the reporting date, after accounting for all prior year tax adjustments.

Deferred tax is recognized using the liability method, as income tax payable in future periods (deferred tax liability) or income tax recoverable in future periods (deferred tax assets) on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts used to calculate the tax base. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured using the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled.

4.15 Employee benefits

Defined contribution plan

A defined contribution plan is a plan whereby the Group companies pay defined amounts of contributions for employee benefits to a separate business entity. The contributing companies are not required to make any additional contributions if the said separate business entity does not have sufficient funds to pay the employees the benefits for which they are eligible. The amount of the contributions made is recognized as employee related costs in the month in which they are calculated.

The companies belonging to the Group are required – based on binding legal regulations – to collect and transfer pension, disability pension and health insurance contributions on behalf of their employees. The Company's respective obligation is determined on the basis of the total amount payable in respect of the contributions due. The plan is managed by third parties.

Defined benefit plan

A defined benefit plan is a plan which is not a defined contribution plan. In a defined benefit plan the parameters of the benefit which an employee will receive in the future (e.g. after he

4.16 Provisions

Provisions are recorded when the PHN Group has a current (legal or constructive) obligation resulting from past events and it is probable that settling the obligation will result in the necessity of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.

4.17 Revenues

Revenues comprise revenue from sales of property, lease revenues, revenue from property development and revenue from other business. Revenues are recognized at the fair value of the amount received or receivable in respect of sales of goods and services in the course of the Group's everyday operations. Revenues are presented net of VAT, returns, rebates and discounts. The Group recognizes revenues when the amount of revenue may be reliably measured and when it is

Deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses are recognized if utilization of tax losses in the following years is probable.

The carrying amount of a deferred income tax asset is verified at each balance sheet date and is reduced to the extent to which it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be achieved to enable partial or full utilization of the deferred tax asset. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed as at each balance sheet date and recognized up to the amount reflecting the probable future taxable income earned which would enable utilizing the asset.

retires) are estimated in advance (e.g. its amount, date of disbursement).

The Group is obliged to pay retirement benefits in the amount stipulated in the Labour Code. The Group recognizes the present value of its liability under the above obligation as current- or non-current employee benefits payable in the consolidated statement of financial position. The amount is calculated as at the balance sheet date using actuarial techniques, according to the projected unit credit method. The current value of a liability is determined by discounting the estimated future cash disbursements in this respect. Any change in the value of this liability is recognized in profit or loss under "payroll and other employee benefits", with the exception of actuarial gains and losses which – if material – are recognized in "other comprehensive income". Discount is recognized under finance costs.

Provisions are stated at the present value of the costs that are required to be incurred to settle the current liability at the reporting date, estimated in accordance with the best knowledge of Group's management.

probable that it will earn economic benefits in the future, and when the criteria specified in IAS 18 have been met.

Revenue from lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period in which the service was provided.

Revenues from development activities are recorded when control over the acquired property and significant risks and benefits related to ownership are transferred to the buyer.

According to the Group, this happens on signing the notarial deed.

Revenue from other operations is recognized in the period in which the services were provided. This comprises revenue from 4.18 Expenses

Costs of property maintenance comprise the costs related to the property's functioning, property maintenance and land. Costs or property maintenance are measured at the amount of direct costs and a justified part of indirect costs. Property maintenance costs comprise in particular:

  • costs directly related to property maintenance (including energy, heating, water, cleaning and security);
  • costs of current overhauls, maintenance and repairs;
  • real property tax, property insurance costs, fees for the right to perpetual usufruct of land.

4.19 Dividend

Payments of dividend to the shareholders are recognized as a liability in the Group's consolidated financial statements in the

4.20 Finance costs

Finance costs relating to the current period are recognized in the profit/loss except for the costs that are capitalized in accordance with IAS 23. The Group capitalizes the part of finance costs which are directly related to the acquisition or development of assets recognized under inventories or open investment projects. General and specific costs relating to the funds borrowed for the purpose of acquisition or development of the qualifying assets that require a long period of preparation to be ready for planned use or disposal increase the cost of

4.21 Consolidation methods

All the subsidiaries belonging to the Group are consolidated under the acquisition accounting method, whereas shares in cosubsidiaries are shown under the equity accounting method in the consolidated financial statements.

The Group accounts for business combinations under the purchase method. Payment made for the acquisition of a subsidiary represents the fair value of transferred assets, liabilities incurred in respect of the former owners of the company being acquired and equity shares offered by the

5.1 Financial risk factors

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including: foreign exchange risk, fair value risk or cash flow risk following from changes in interest rates and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

hotel operations and management services provided to cosubsidiaries.

Costs related to properties but incurred by third parties, including tenants and insurers are not charged to property maintenance costs.

Costs of development activities are measured at the level of manufacturing costs using the method of strict identification of the actual costs of the assets sold or the percentage share, e.g.: of the land sold, shares sold, etc. In particular, the cost of sales of apartments and land sold is determined in proportion to their share in the entire land constituting a given project.

development of such assets over the time of their preparation for planned use or disposal. Revenues from temporary investments covered by special loans to be issued for the qualifying assets reduce the amount of borrowing costs that fulfil the criteria for capitalization. All other borrowing costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the period in which they were incurred.

Group. The transferred consideration covers the fair value of the asset or liability resulting from the contingent consideration. Identifiable assets and liabilities, and contingent liabilities acquired under the business combination are initially measured at fair value as at the acquisition date. For each acquisition the Group recognizes non-controlling interests in the acquired entity at fair value or in proportion to their share in the identifiable net assets of the acquired entity. It has been the policy of the Group that the transactions under joint control are accounted for under the pooling of interests method.

The Group's overall risk management policy concentrates on the unpredictability of financial markets and trying to mitigate the impact of any unfavourable trends on the Group's financial results.

The accounting policies and notes to the consolidated financial statements on pages 13–45 are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

5.1.1 Market risk

Foreign currency risk - Foreign currency risk arises when future trading transactions or recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Group. At the reporting dates, the Group companies had foreign currency lease agreements that were denominated mainly in EUR and USD. Additionally, a loan agreement concluded by the Group is denominated in EUR.

The Group regularly monitors foreign currency risk and takes appropriate steps to mitigate the unfavourable effect of fluctuations in interest rates. These comprise, among others, forecasting future cash flows denominated in foreign currencies in the period of the next 12 months.

The table below shows the impact of the change in the EUR/PLN exchange rate on the result before tax:

31 December 2015 31 December 2014
+1 p.p.
-1p.p.
+1p.p. -1p.p.
Debt (2.3) 2.3 (0.1) 0.1
Total (2.3) 2.3 (0.1) 0.1

The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on other financial statement items is immaterial.

Price risk – The Group is not exposed to the risk of changes in the value of financial assets due to insignificant

5.1.2 Credit risk

Credit risk arises in respect of cash and cash equivalents, bonds and participation units, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as in respect of unsettled receivables from the Group's customers and lessees (insolvency risk). The Group has appropriate procedures to assess the creditworthiness of its customers and lessees. In the case of lessees, security/ collateral is required in the form of deposits (retentions) and guarantees. No significant risk concentration was recorded for any of the Group's customers. In respect of financial institutions and banks the Group uses services of renowned entities.

5.1.3 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will be unable to settle its financial liabilities when they become due. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining appropriate equity, using offers of bank services and reserve credit facilities and by monitoring on an ongoing basis forecast and actual cash flows. Due to the dynamic nature of its business activities, the Group maintains flexibility of financing by securing the availability of cash and various sources of finance.

The Group has sufficient cash to pay all its liabilities in a timely manner. Liquidity risk may be minimized in a longer time horizon through the availability of bank loans.

investments in assets exposed to price changes. The price risk is therefore immaterial. The Group does not participate in trading in securities in any active market.

Interest rate risk – The interest rate risk the Group is exposed to changes in market interest rates. The Group has interest-bearing financial liabilities in respect of a bank loan. The loan bears an interest rate based on 1M EURIBOR in respect of amounts denominated in EUR or 1M WIBOR in respect of amounts denominated in PLN. Other financial liabilities which bear interest rates based on market rates are immaterial.

The Group did not hedge against fluctuations in interest rates. The Management Board monitors fluctuations in interest rates on an ongoing basis and takes appropriate steps.

The table below shows the sensitivity of the financial result before tax on 1 percentage point changes in interest rates:

31 December 2015 31 December 2014
+1 p.p.
-1 p.p.
+1 p.p. -1 p.p.
1M EURIBOR 0.0 0.8 0.0 0.1
1M WIBOR (0.1) 0.1 (0.1) 0.1
Total (0.1) 0.9 (0.1) 0.2

With respect to the Group, credit risk in this area is related mainly to the counterparties' contractual default.

As part of its credit risk management policy the Group mainly analyses the creditworthiness of its counterparties and financial institutions whose services it uses and develops optimal riskrelated contractual terms. In addition, models of potential financial hedges are also being developed and payment terms depending on the creditworthiness of the counterparties are determined individually. A comprehensive debt recovery system has also been in operation.

Prudent management of liquidity risk stipulates, among other things, maintaining an appropriate level of cash and an appropriate structure of current assets and liabilities. As at 31 December 2014, the Group had a loan of PLN 14.3 million. The Group did not use overdraft facilities because it was capable of financing its operations with equity. The liquidity risk may be described as insignificant.

The Group monitors its liquidity ratios on a current basis. The general liquidity ratio is calculated as the ratio of current assets to current liabilities. The level of the ratio as at the balance sheet date is as follows:

5.1.4 Hedge accounting

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments, whose cashflows are expected to offset changes in cashflows from the hedged item are recognized in accordance with hedge accounting principles, provided that the hedged item and the hedging instrument are characterized by the same conditions.

As part of financial risk management, the Group identifies a risk of impairment of the fair value of both purchased and newly built commercial properties that generate revenues denominated in EUR due to changes in the EUR/PLN exchange rate. In order to mitigate such risk, whenever the Group uses external financing (loans) for a given property, it tries to match the loan currency with the currency of the revenues generated by the property. Due to the fact that the Group took out loans in EUR for financing properties that generate revenues denominated in EUR, a hedging relationship (fair value hedge) was established as part of hedge accounting between these properties (hedged items) and loans (hedging items). Consequently, the effect of

5.2 Capital risk management

As far as capital risk management is concerned, the aim of the Group is to maintain the Group's ability to continue in operation in such a manner that the return for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders could be realized, while at the same time the cost of capital is maintained at the optimum level.

In order to manage such risk, the Group makes decisions concerning the level of financial leverage, dividend policy, issue of new shares or purchase and subsequent redemption or resale of previously issued shares, or potential sale of assets in order to reduce debt. Like other companies in the sector, the Group monitors its capital using, among other things, liability ratios. The debt ratio is calculated as net debt to total capital. Net debt is calculated as the sum of non-current and current liabilities less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is

5.3 Judgements and estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the Management Board to apply professional judgement, estimates and assumptions. The Group makes estimates on the basis of assumptions concerning future events, which may differ from the actual results. The estimates and assumptions that carry a significant risk of causing a material

changes in EUR/PLN exchange rates on the value of the loans is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income under "Changes in the fair value of investment properties".

Moreover, the Group has found out that future cash flows in respect of interest on variable interest loans received are exposed to changes due to a risk of changes in interest rates. In order to mitigate such risk, the Group enters into interest rate swap (IRS) contracts with banks which effectively replace variable interest rates with fixed interest rates. For better presentation of the results of its current operations, the Group establishes a hedge relationship (cash flow hedge) between the loan (hedged item) and IRS (hedging item) as part of hedge accounting, provided that the hedged item and the hedging instrument are characterized by the same conditions. In consequence, the effect of changes in IRS value resulting from fair value measurement is recognized in the revaluation reserve.

calculated as the sum of equity recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position and net debt.

The financing structure ratio as at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014 was as follows:

31 December 31 December

Current and non-current
debt 313.0 15.3

Estimation of the fair value of investment properties

The fair value of investment properties is estimated by certified independent property appraisers and it reflects the market conditions as at the date of preparation of the financial

The accounting policies and notes to the consolidated financial statements on pages 13–45 are an integral part of these

statements. Detailed assumptions used for the purposes of estimating the fair value of properties are presented in Note 8.

Assessment of the legal status of properties

Some of the properties owned by the Group have an unclear legal status, which is verified periodically. The Group evaluates the probability of losing properties on the basis of analyses of their legal status. If there are any indications that the legal status of a property may be clarified (its loss becomes unlikely), the Group recognizes such property in its assets.

Claims in respect of benefits derived from leased properties

The Group records provisions for claims in respect of benefits from leased properties, which it possesses in bad faith. The Group is of the opinion that in the case of all properties held without a legal title, possession in bad faith occurs from the moment of refusal to acquire the property in accordance with the law (under Art. 200 of the Property Management Act) or issue of the final decision revoking the legal title to a previously acquired property. The Group records a provision for claims for benefits with respect to such properties in the amount of benefits that could be obtained from a given property.

Inventory write-downs

Write-downs in respect of inventories related to property development held by the Group as at the balance sheet date are estimated based on an analysis of information from an active market concerning the expected selling prices and current market trends, as well as information resulting from preliminary sale agreements concluded by the Group. Estimates used for

6. Seasonality of operations

The Group's activities are not characterized by seasonality. Therefore, the financial results presented by the Group do not fluctuate significantly during the year.

7. Segment reporting

For management reporting purposes, the Group has been divided into the following operating segments:

  • lease of office, retail, warehouse and logistics space, residential and other properties;
  • property development construction and sale of residential premises;
  • other activities.

The activities conducted as part of the operating segments listed above are performed in Poland. Other activities comprise, in the purposes of calculating write-downs concern mainly market prices of properties in a given market segment. In the case of land disclosed in inventories, the amount of write-downs results from measurement at the recoverable value.

Deferred income tax

The Management Board is obliged to assess the probability of the crystallization of deferred tax assets. As part of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the Group estimates the amount of deferred tax assets and provisions based on, among other things, the amount of future income tax liabilities. The process comprises the analysis of current income tax liabilities and the amount of temporary differences resulting from a different treatment of transactions for tax and accounting purposes, as a result of which deferred tax assets and provisions arise.

In the process of such assessment, a number of assumptions is adopted with respect to determining the amounts of deferred tax assets. The above-mentioned estimates take into account tax forecasts, available current strategies concerning the planning of the Group's operations, as well as the dates of crystallization of the individual temporary differences. Since such estimates may change due to external factors, the Group may from time to time adjust the amount of deferred income tax assets, which in turn may affect its financial position.

Assets resulting from tax losses are only recognized if an analysis performed by the Management Board indicates that they can be settled.

particular, income and costs relating to operations which are being discontinued by the Group: the ports business and the hotel business and management services.

The Management Board monitors the Group's results and makes decisions on the allocation of its resources based on an analysis of the operating activities of the segments listed above. The Management Board analyses segment results down to the level of the operating profit or loss. The Group does not allocate to segments any assets, liabilities, revenues or costs of the parent company acting as a financial holding.

8. Investment properties

Investments properties are presented in these consolidated financial statements at the fair value determined as at 31 December 2015 by an independent property advisor, the company CBRE Sp. z o.o. in Warsaw. The valuation covered the whole property portfolio of the Group.

Estimation of the fair value of investment properties

The prices of similar assets on an active market are the best indication of fair value. If such information is not available, the Group determines an amount from the range of reasonable estimates of the fair value. In making its judgement, the Management Board takes into account varied information, including:

  • current prices on an active market for properties of a similar nature, condition and location (or sold under another agreement or contract),adjusted to reflect the differences between the properties;
  • recent prices of similar properties on less active markets, adjusted to reflect the changes in economic conditions that occurred from the time of concluding a transaction at a given price;
  • discounted cash flow projections based on reliable assumptions concerning future cash flows, derived from the terms and conditions of the existing lease contracts and other contracts (if possible) or from external sources such as current market rents for similar properties in the same location and condition, calculated with the use of discount rates that reflect the current assessment of uncertainty as to the amount and timing of cash flows.

The following measurement methodology was used to determine the fair value of properties, depending on the type of property:

  • Income Approach, Investment Method, Simple Capitalization Technique (DCF analysis was performed for selected properties as a method of verification);
  • Comparative Approach, Pair Comparison Method;

Other costs include mainly: in the lease segment – change in the assessment of the legal status of properties in the amount of PLN 6.9 million; a provision for claims in respect of benefits derived from leased properties of PLN 3.0 million; receivables write-downs of PLN 8.1 million; severance pay for dismissed employees of PLN 0.9 million; damages and penalties paid of PLN 0.8 million; a provision for a tenant's claims relating to prior years of PLN 0.6 million.

  • Comparative Approach, Average Price Adjustment Method;
  • Mixed Approach, Residual Method.

The following assumptions were adopted to determine the fair value of properties:

In accordance with IFRS 13, the Management Board of the Group analysed the estimated fair value of investment properties and found that as at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014 it was determined based on the 3rd level of fair value hierarchy. Due to the nature of the properties, a relatively small number of similar current transactions were found that could be used to estimate the fair value. As a result, many special assumptions were adopted with respect to the observed current market transactions, which had a significant effect on determining the fair value. Due to the absence or a limited number of similar transactions, the Management Board is of the opinion that the fair value measurement cannot be treated as performed on the basis of the 2nd level of fair value hierarchy. A change in the fair value of properties determined based on the 3rd level in the fair value hierarchy was recognized in the net profit (loss).

The accounting policies and notes to the consolidated financial statements on pages 13–45 are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

Changes in the classification of the legal status of properties

In the year ended 31 December 2015, the Group received a decision of the Mazowiecki Voivode confirming acquisition of the right to perpetual usufruct of the property at ul. Kryniczna 2 in Warsaw. Consequently, the Group recognized that property in assets. The effect of the reclassification (change in the legal status) was recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income under Other revenues (PLN 5.1 million).

Moreover, in the current financial year the Constitutional Tribunal passed a judgement stating that decisions granting ownership rights to properties which had been issued with flagrant violation of the law cannot be repealed, if a significant amount of time has passed since such a decision was issued. Consequently, the Group analysed the legal status of properties which had not yet been disclosed in the statement of financial position due to the fact that the decisions granting ownership rights could have been issued in violation of the law. In the case of three properties with a total fair value of PLN 20.0 million (established based on the specific assumption that their legal status would be clarified), it was concluded that there were sufficient grounds for recognizing them as the Group assets, and in the case of two properties with a fair value of PLN 10.5 million (established based on the specific assumption that their legal status would be clarified), it was concluded that their legal

status required further analyses, especially taking into account the body of decisions to be issued after the judgement of the Constitutional Tribunal.

As a result, the Group reclassified three properties to the unclear legal status category with a favourable outlook for clearing their legal status, and recognized them as assets in the consolidated statement of financial position in the amount of PLN 20.0 million The Group recognized reclassification in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income under "Other revenue".

Purchase of properties

In the first half of 2015, the Group acquired a part of a property at Al. Jana Pawła II 12 in Warsaw (Kaskada) and became the sole owner of the property.

In Q3 2015, the Group acquired 100% of the shares in Andersia Business Centre Sp. z o.o. with its registered office in Poznań, a company which owns an A class office building with retail space, Andersia Business Centre, located in the heart of the business district in Poznań.

Expenditure on real estate

Expenditure on investment properties comprises:

expenditure on the construction of commercial development projects (Domaniewska 37C, Foksal 10A,

Retkinia, Rakowiecka 19) in the amount of: 2015: PLN 90.1 million; 2014: PLN 53.8 million;

  • expenditure on the preparation of commercial development projects amounting to: 2015: PLN 5.2 million; 2014: PLN 2.9 million;
  • modernization and arrangement of properties amounting to: 2015: PLN 17.7 million; 2014: PLN 3.6 million.

Reclassification to non-current assets classified as held for sale

Reclassification to assets held for sale, in accordance with IFRS 5, was performed due to the fact that buyers were found for a number of properties (for details, see Note 17).

Unclear legal status of properties

Some properties owned by the Group have an unclear legal status with a negative outlook for its clarification. Unclear legal status of properties results from claims brought with respect to some properties. In the opinion of the Management Board, most of these claims are groundless. Such properties are not recognized in the financial statements. Their fair values determined based on the assumption that their legal status has been clarified are presented below as at the respective balance sheet dates:

Hedging against the risk of changes in the fair value

The Group hedges against the risk of changes in the fair value of properties that generate lease revenues denominated in EUR, in the part resulting from the foreign exchange risk, up to the amount of external financing (loan) for a given property denominated in the same currency in which the revenues are generated. As part of hedge accounting, the Group establishes

9. Property, plant and equipment

a relationship (fair value hedge) between a property (the hedged item) and the loan financing that property (the hedging item). The effects of changes in the fair value of the property and in the value of the loans (recognized at amortized cost) are offset and recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income under "Change in the fair value of investment properties".

Contracted revenues

The Group has concluded a number of operating lease contracts with tenants for the investment properties. A significant part of the lease contracts have been signed for an unspecified period with a short notice period. The Group is changing its strategy with respect to the period for which lease contracts are concluded. Moreover, the Group is in the process of disposal of properties which do not fit in its target portfolio. Some of them are currently leased, and future revenues from lease contracts depend on the time needed for their disposal. Due to the change in the Group's structure and adoption of the model of signing lease contracts for a specified period, in order to determine the aggregate amount of future revenues from non-cancellable lease contracts, the Group must adopt significant estimates concerning the time needed to dispose of the properties and replace contracts signed for an unspecified period with contracts for a specified period. In view of the above, the future revenues from non-cancellable lease contracts (rents) amount to:

Deferred income tax assets and provisions are offset if there is an enforceable legal title to offset deferred income tax assets against deferred income tax provisions and if deferred income tax assets and provisions relate to taxes imposed by the same tax authorities on the same taxpayer.

Claims in respect of benefits derived from leased properties and non-contractual use of properties

The Group records provisions for claims in respect of benefits derived from leased properties that the Group possesses in bad faith, i.e. the Group companies knew or could have learnt if they exercised due care and diligence that they did not have a certain right or that the person from whom they acquired a right was not in fact entitled to it.

The Group is of the opinion that in the case of all properties held without a legal title, possession in bad faith occurs from the moment of refusal to acquire the property in accordance with the law (under Art. 200 of the Property Management Act) or issue of the final decision revoking the legal title to a previously acquired property. The Group records a provision for claims for benefits with respect to such properties in the amount of benefits that could be obtained from a given property.

In accordance with the law, a claim for lost benefits can be filed by the holder of the legal title to a property not earlier than on the date of acquiring such title and not later than within one year from that date. The right to file a claim for lost benefits against the possessor in bad faith expires after 10 years.

Guarantee repairs and compensations in property development

The provision for guarantee repairs comprises the value of repairs or compensation relating to premises sold.

The provision for compensation comprises the value of potential compensation that may be charged to the Group in connection with late completion of premises in previous years.

Employee benefits

The provision for employee benefits comprises the present value of future long service bonuses and pension benefits payable in accordance with the payroll systems in place at the Group.

Other provisions

Other provisions include:

potential interest expenses on VAT liabilities relating to the risk of an adverse decision being issued by the tax authorities of PLN 5.7 million.

In 2014, as part of changes in the Group's structure, the companies Warszawski Holding Nieruchomości S.A. and Budexpo S.A. contributed properties in exchange for shares in a partnership limited by shares. Based on analyses performed and tax opinions received, the issue price of shares, which was higher than their nominal price, was adopted as the basis for VAT taxation. The company making the contribution in kind paid the tax, while the company which received the contribution and subsequently sold the properties offset input VAT (on the contribution in kind) against output VAT (on sale).

In 2015, a tax authority conducted a tax audit in respect of VAT in the company which received contributions in kind. In the opinion of the tax authority, the nominal value of the shares taken up should be the basis for the taxation of the contribution in kind. Therefore, the tax authority challenged the right to deduct VAT on the excess of the issue price over the nominal price. In the Company's opinion, such an approach is not justified. The inspected company made objections to the post-audit report. By the date of preparing

The accounting policies and notes to the consolidated financial statements on pages 13–45 are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated annual report for the year 2015 (all amounts are expressed in PLN million, unless stated otherwise)

these financial statements, the tax authorities had not issued a decision in this respect.

Should the decision be unfavourable for the inspected company, the company will adjust its VAT return and will recognize a VAT liability of PLN 110.7 million with interest of PLN 5.7 million as at the balance sheet date. At the same time, in the company which made the contribution, an overpaid VAT receivable of PLN 110.7 million will arise.

  • probable expenses in respect of increased fees for perpetual usufruct of land and disputed property tax liabilities of PLN 3.5 million.
  • various claims of tenants and buyers of real estate of PLN 0.7 million.

On 1 July 2015, the Group acquired 100% of shares in Andersia Business Centre Sp. z o.o. (after the change of its name to PHN SPV 33 Sp. z o.o.) with its registered office in Poznań, a company which owns an A class office building with service space, Andersia Business centre, located in the heart of the business district in Poznań. As a result of settlement of the purchase transaction, goodwill of PLN 4.0 million was recognized, representing a difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the acquired net assets. The amount of goodwill was confirmed by an increase in the net asset value of the acquired company resulting from the contribution of a property to the partnership limited by shares and its subsequent

sale to a special purpose vehicle, leading to an increase in the tax value of the acquired property. Consequently, the Group reversed the deferred tax provision, which as at the acquisition date amounted to PLN 10.5 million, and recognized it in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. As a result, goodwill was realized effectively, and therefore the Group will write it off.

Due to the negative impact of the situation on the real estate market on the Group's clients' ability to settle their liabilities, the Group recognized write-downs for its receivables of PLN 7.4 million in 2015 (2014: PLN 8.1 million).

37. Contingent assets and contingent liabilities

Note 8 includes a disclosure on properties with an unclear legal status owned by the Group. In the case of the favourable outcome of the legal disputes relating to these properties, they will be recognized as assets.

Some of the buildings leased by the Group for office purposes are recorded in the public registers as buildings designated for residential purposes. Changes in the manner of utilization of these buildings were not notified to the relevant authorities nor were the required administrative decisions obtained. Consequently, penalties may be imposed on the Group

companies. As at the balance sheet date, the risk of such penalties being imposed on the Group is low and the potential amount of such penalties cannot be reliably estimated. Therefore, the Group did not recognize provisions for the potential penalties.

a) Capital expenditure commitments

There are no material capital expenditure commitments.

b) Operating lease

There are no material contingent liabilities under operating lease contracts.

38. Transactions with related entities

Transactions with the State Treasury and the State Treasury companies

The State Treasury of the Republic of Poland is the entity exercising control over the Group. As a result, transactions between the Group companies and the State Treasury or the related entities of the State Treasury must be disclosed in accordance with the principles set out in IAS 24, Related Party Disclosures.

The Group did not enter into individually significant transactions with the State Treasury related entities. In the ordinary course of its operations, the Group earned lease revenue from entities controlled by the State Treasury.

Consequently, the Group is exempt from the requirement to disclose information on transactions and open balances with the State Treasury related entities under IAS 24 para. 18.

Under the Polish law, the Group entities are liable to income tax in Poland. Consequently, they pay the income tax to the State Treasury which is a related entity. The laws and regulations applicable to the Group companies in this respect are identical to those binding other non-related entities.

The outstanding amount was EUR 25.5 million. Moreover, in September 2015 it took out an additional tranche of an investment loan of EUR 3.1 million. This loan was repaid (refinanced) on 30 October 2015. In its place, a Group company (PHN SPV 15 Sp. z o.o.) concluded a new loan agreement on the same terms and conditions with the same bank. The loan is in EUR and bears an interest rate based on the EURIBOR rate for 3-monthly deposits plus the bank's margin. The remaining terms and conditions of the loan agreement, including collateral, do not significantly differ from those commonly applied for similar agreements.

In order to secure repayment of liabilities resulting from the loan agreement and in order to execute the said agreement properly, the subsidiaries of PHN S.A. established in particular the following security for Bank Zachodni WBK S.A.:

  • (i) financial and registered pledge on the shares in PHN SPV 15 Sp. z o.o. (hereinafter: "the Borrower") held by the Group companies;

2. Market environment

The year 2015 proved to be an exceptionally good period on the transaction market in the commercial real estate sector. On the office space market, it was a period of continuation of the dynamic development, where the Warsaw market finished the year with a record volume of lease agreements signed, the highest net absorption in the history of the market and a drop in the vacancy ratio. The warehouse market proved to be very intensive for tenants, investors and developers who recorded a dynamic increase in new supply in the largest logistics areas and on the emerging markets, in the vicinity of smaller regional cities. The residential industry recorded an exceptional interest in the purchase of apartments in the fourth quarter of 2015 and finished the previous year unusually well. The year 2015 was a good period on the transaction market in the commercial real estate sector. The volume of investment projects exceeded EUR 4 billion and was 35% higher than the result for 2014. This is the best result since 2006. The greatest activity of the investors could be seen in the retail and office space sectors. The total volume of transactions on the retail space market reached the highest level since 2006 of EUR 2.2 billion, which represented over 54% of the value of the finalized purchase/sale agreements on the commercial real estate market in Poland. In 2015, nearly 3 times more was invested in the commercial real estate sector than in 2014. The investors were interested in the most attractive assets such as shopping malls with a dominant position on the market and shopping centres in smaller regional cities. This has resulted in the compression of the capitalization rates in the sector, which currently fluctuate at around 5.50% for the best shopping facilities. The largest transactions included: the purchase of shares in Echo Investment's portfolio by Griffin Real Estate, the acquisition of the Riviera Center in Gdynia by the German fund Union Investment, the purchase of the Stary Browar Center in Poznań by Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management, and the purchase of Bonarka City Center by TPG Real Estate.

In the office real estate sector, during the year transactions with a value of EUR 1.3 billion were finalized, which represented 33% of the volume of all transactions on the commercial real estate market. Unlike in the previous years, in 2015 the buyers' interest was mainly focused on the regional markets. The value of the agreements signed exceeded 66% of the total volume of office transactions, reaching the highest level in the history of the regional

2.1. Description of the industry

The office market in Warsaw in 2015:

In 2015, the stocks of modern office space in Warsaw amounted to 4.66 million sq m, with approx. 70% being located in districts outside the city centre. The most space can be found in the Upper South (1.31 million sq m) and the City Centre Outskirts (0.87 million sq m). In 2015, over 277 600 sq m of modern office space was commissioned for use across Warsaw, i.e. close to 3% less than a year ago. In consequence, as at the end of December the capital's stocks amounted to nearly 4.66 million sq m. In 2015, the volume of

markets, of EUR 880 million. The dynamic development and potential of the office markets outside Warsaw are reflected both in the growing number of transactions and greater risk appetite among local and foreign investors. The capitalization rates for the best assets in Warsaw ranged from 6.00% to 6.50%, whereas on the regional market they fluctuated at around 7.00%.

lease transactions significantly exceeded the average values for the previous years. The net absorption reached a similar record high and was more than 120 000 sq m higher than the average for the previous 5 years, which amounted to 161 500 sq m. The Warsaw market recorded the greatest activity on the lease market in history. In total, throughout the year agreements were signed for a total area of over 836 500 sq m, which was an improvement of over 37% compared with 2014. As a result, the vacancy rate in Warsaw dropped compared with the value recorded in the previous year from 13.3% to 12.3%. This is the second quarterly drop in a row and the lowest value starting from the first quarter of 2014. An equally large increase (of over 56% compared with 2014) occurred in net absorption whose value amounted to nearly 283 000 sq m on an annual basis. This is the best result in the entire history of the market, which shows that it is undergoing dynamic development. The rental rates for the best office space in central locations did not exceed EUR 24/sq m/month (down EUR 1 per sq m compared with December 2014). In the locations outside the city centre, the average rents amounted

to EUR 13-16.5/sq m/month, with the highest rates being offered by buildings located near the limits of the City Centre Outskirts. The anticipated large supply in 2016 will probably bring about an increase in the vacancy ratio. Thanks to this the market conditions for tenants will improve further, in particular as regards rental rates for space of a lower standard and in buildings located in less prestigious locations.

The office market in the regions in 2015:

The year 2015 on the office market in the regional cities was a period of continued dynamic development. The continued high activity of developers was accompanied by record demand, fuelled mainly by tenants representing the modern business services sector. Furthermore, the rents and the vacancy ratio remained at stable levels, which allows one to anticipate that the high level of economic activity on the market will continue in 2016. The new supply in the previous year reached a high level similar to that in 2014. On the six main regional markets (Kraków, Wrocław, Tricity, Poznań, Katowice, Łódź) nearly 280 000 sq m of space was completed for lease on 31 projects. However, the developers are not slowing down, which is demonstrated by the record volume of space under construction. According to Knight Frank estimates, as at the end of December 2015 approximately 695 000 sq m of space was still under construction for lease on close to 70 projects, of which – according to the investors' schedules – as much as 500 000 sq m may be delivered on the market in 2016. The record volume of lease transactions which accompanies the

robust supply reflects the tenants' keen interest in the office space in the regional cities. In 2015, 501 700 sq m was leased on the six largest markets, which is much higher than the result recorded a year ago (353 000 sq m) and the average demand level for the preceding 5 years (310 500 sq m). The key role is still played by tenants in the BPO/SSC, IT and financial sectors. It is worth emphasizing that the vast majority of the transactions were new agreements, pre-let agreements and expansions – totalling 76% of the leased space, and the remaining 24% of the transactions were renegotiations. The vacancy ratio in the regional cities, in spite of a forecasted increase, remained at a stable level with a slight downward trend. This is due to the high activity on the part of tenants, thanks to which nearly all of the newly delivered space was absorbed by the market. According to Knight Frank data, the net absorption on the regional markets amounted to nearly 256 000 sq m in 2015, which is similar to the result for the previous year (263 000 sq m).

The warehouse market in Poland in 2015:

The year 2015 proved to be very intensive on the warehouse market in Poland, both for tenants and investors and developers, and such good results are a continuation of the record results achieved in the previous year. Last year a dynamic increase in new supply was recorded in the largest logistics areas and on the emerging markets, in the vicinity of smaller regional cities. At the end of 2015, the total supply of warehouse space in Poland exceeded 9.9 million sq m, which represented a 10% increase compared with the previous year. Modern stocks are located first of all in the seven largest areas of concentration (i.e. Warsaw, Upper Silesia, Greater Poland, Lower Silesia, Central Poland, Tricity and Kraków). However, in step with the improvement in the road infrastructure, the dynamic development of smaller markets for logistics space,

i.e. Szczecin, Lublin, Rzeszów or the Kujawy region, was observed last year. So far, the total supply in these centres amounts to approximately 570 000 sq m, which represents over 5% of the market's total stocks, but we do observe an increasingly fast rate of growth of the emerging markets. On the other hand, the most developed logistics area in Poland is still Warsaw which gathers nearly 30% of all the stocks of warehouse space. The huge demand and the high activity on the part of tenants observed in 2015 translated into the high volume of the new supply. The upward trend was a continuation from the previous year, and over 980 000 sq m was commissioned for use. Nearly 24% of the new supply was provided in Greater Poland, 15% in Upper Silesia and as much as 12% in Lower Silesia.

The residential market in Poland in 2015:

In 2015, 51.8 thousand apartments were sold, which represents an increase of 20% (of 8.8 thousand apartments) compared with 2014 and of nearly 48% more than in 2007. Low interest rates and prospects for the continuation of the current deposit rates strongly backed the inflow of investors who were buying apartments in order to lease them out. The rate of change in the size of the offer as at the end of 2015

compared with the data from 12 months earlier was different on each of the six markets being analysed (Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, Tricity, Poznań and Łódź). In all the cities, the stability of prices, both for the apartments on offer and those put on the market, was affected by the need to adapt to the requirements of the "Apartment for the Young" programme ("MdM"). Compared with 2014 the number of finished apartments not sold went down.

Apartments sold 51.8 thousand

2.2. Basic trends on the real estate market

In 2016, a significant number of completed investment projects will come up on the office real estate market, which will translate into large supply and which will bring about an increase in the vacancy ratio. Thanks to this the market conditions for tenants will improve further, in particular with regards to rental rates for space of a lower standard and in buildings located in less prestigious locations. Due to the large

amount of available space in the existing buildings, and the projects in progress, asking rents have already dropped significantly over the past 12 months of 2015. In the regions (Kraków, Wrocław, Tricity, Poznań, Katowice, Łódź) the rents and the vacancy ratio remained at stable levels, which allows one to anticipate that the high level of economic activity on the market will continue in 2016. The Warsaw office market remains the tenant's market, which is reflected in the greater flexibility of owners during negotiations. In consequence, the effective rates are 15–30% lower than the asking rates. In step with the increase in available space and the growing competitiveness, rental rates will also drop. A return to the present situation is anticipated no sooner than mid-2017. Due to the increasing number of well-located facilities which are being built in the centre of Warsaw, we may expect a disproportion between the tenants' interest in central zones and their interest in non-central ones, to the advantage of the City Centre. Bearing in mind the anticipated scale of the new supply over 12 months, assuming that in 2016 net absorption will reach the average level for the last 3 years (approximately 200 000 sq m), we may expect an increase in the vacancy ratio to as much as 17% of leasable space at the end of 2016. The satisfactory results of the Warsaw office market (in particular with regards to the volume of lease transactions and the market absorption rate) in 2015 have already produced the first results in the form of information about the planned commencement of the implementation of a number of largescale projects. Therefore, we may expect that in 2016 the developers' activity will again increase.

2.3. PHN Group in comparison with its competitors

In 2015, the office space market in Warsaw gained 23 new office facilities with a total office space of 277 600 sq m. One of these facilities is the office building of Polski Holding Nieruchomości S.A. – Domaniewska Office Hub commissioned for use in July 2015. The space constructed by the Company represents 9.80% of the modern space commissioned for use in Warsaw. In spite of the significant amount of space under construction and drops in rental rates having been recorded, the Company offers a market rate of EUR 15/sq m/month.

Like the other investors on the investment market, apart from the Warsaw market, the Company also focused its activities on the regional markets, including the Poznań and Tricity regional markets by purchasing an A class office building – Andersia As regards the forecasts about the residential market, there are several reasons to believe that it will be difficult to match the record sales for 2015. It is expected that the "Programme 500 +" will improve the financial position of families with children, and some of them dream about exchanging their first apartment for a larger one. The lending activity will probably subside, but the increase in margins on mortgage loans and the requirement to present a larger own contribution should be partially neutralized by the increase in income and support under the MdM programme. It is true that the said support will decrease gradually, however, the year 2016 should still be similar to the previous one in this regard. Under the scenario which assumes that the Polish economy will continue functioning without any violent disturbances, we may predict that, on the one hand, the sales will still be good in 2016 if lower than in the previous year, and on the other hand – that the supply will remain at the prior year level. The main reason for the large supply will be the willingness to put up a large number of apartments on the market which meet the criteria for being subsidized under the MdM programme.

Business Center in Poznań and by concluding a preliminary agreement for the purchase of the office building Alchemia II in Gdańsk.

As a result of a good relationship between the location and the price along with small buildings surrounded by greenery, and a good connection with Warsaw, the Group succeeded in selling 84 apartments which form part of the Parzniew II investment project in Pruszków. Of the 611 apartments, the last 22 have remained on offer for 2016, some of which have already been booked under preliminary agreements, which means that the project will be completed at the turn of the first and second quarters of 2016.

The gross leasable area

of real properties remaining in the portfolio amounted to 115.8 thousand sq m, and the vacancy ratio was 25.4%. The ratio was significantly affected by the fact that the main tenant left the Intraco building, and by the commercialization process of the newly built Domaniewska Office Hub.

Most of the apartments are to have views on both sides of the building, balconies and small gardens. There will also be service space of 1 500 sq m. The preliminary concept for the office building is related to GLA of 17 000 sq m. An application for a decision on the planning permission was filed for the 1st stage of the residential part.

5. The Group's strategy and development plans

5.1. Strategy of PHN S.A. until 2023 - "Building value"

Due to the fact that new opportunities and potential market threats were identified as a result of changes on the real estate market, and due to the need to intensify the process of the building value of PHN S.A. in the context of competition, on 10 September 2014, the Company's Supervisory Board confirmed the updated, long-term strategy of Polski Holding Nieruchomości S.A. to 2023 – "Building value", which is based on the portfolio, and the effectiveness of managing the Company's assets. The strategy is aimed at (i) increasing, by 2023, the value of the Company's net assets by nearly 75%, more than a half of which could be paid out as dividends, and (ii) further improvement of the quality of the portfolio and effectiveness of managing assets which were the basis for an increase in capital gains for the Company's shareholders.

  • cleaning;
  • security.

The broad range of suppliers means that the Group does not depend on a single supplier. In 2015, turnover from Unibep S.A (general contractor for one of the Group's investment projects) exceeded 10% of the Group's revenues. The turnover with this counterparty amounted to PLN 83.7 million.

The strategy of Polski Holding Nieruchomości S.A. assumes building the value of the portfolio through the optimum utilization of the potential of the real properties – Capital Recycling. The Company is continuously improving its effectiveness, liquidating assets which do not fit into the target portfolio structure or generate insufficient revenue, and invests the resulting funds in high-yield modern commercial projects conducted on its own or purchased. The quality of the portfolio and effectiveness of asset management are aimed at ensuring a constant high return on capital for the shareholders of PHN S.A. The Company finalized the restructuring process by the end of 2015, and it plans to complete the restructuring of its investment portfolio by the end of 2023.

Capital Recycling is aimed at changing low-yield properties (yield of 2.5%) with limited refinancing ability into profitable properties (yield of 6%+) with a capacity for external financing

5.2. Implementation of the strategy

Building the Company's value for the shareholders of PHN S.A.

The strategy of Polski Holding Nieruchomości S.A. provides for building the Company's value through optimum use of the potential of the real properties for the clients' needs, changing the structure of the investment portfolio to ensure high yield on investments, the involvement and professional approach of the management team and staff, as well as respect for the environment. In 2015, the restructuring process was completed, which comprised changes in the structure of the Group, allocation of properties to special purpose vehicles, centralization of the management functions at the holding level, and reducing the number of employees to 118 FTE as at 31 December 2015. Currently, the Company is focusing on further optimization of its real property portfolio and on

implementing new solutions aimed at maximizing its economic effectiveness. Further optimization of the real property portfolio assumes completing the pending and planned development projects, finalizing the disinvestment programme, and new acquisitions for the property portfolio. The Company plans to manage its assets effectively, focusing on maximizing income from each of them, on the quality of client relations, and by the selective development of its residential activities. Moreover, the Company plans to enter into opportunistic M&A transactions, increasing the profitability of its property portfolio, manage real properties for external partners, and also carry out special projects, aimed at new sectors and groups of clients.

The assumed increase in the value of PHN S.A.

The Group has the potential to increase the value of its net assets by nearly 75% by 2023, as a result of the implementation of the new strategy, of which more than one half could be paid to shareholders as dividends. Over PLN 1 billion can be earmarked for purchase of real properties generating lease revenues. The strategy also assumes the possibility of increasing, by 2023, the value of the property portfolio to PLN 5.7 billion from the current PLN 2.0 billion (an increase of

Current effects of PHN S.A.'s strategy

As a result of the activities conducted in 2015, Polski Holding Nieruchomości S.A. recorded a systematic increase in the operating effectiveness of the main business segment – namely the lease of real properties – an increase in the result on the lease and margins. Due to the restructuring of its operations,

185%). It is possible for the Company to obtain a further significant increase in effectiveness, including, among other things, an increase in the yield from real properties to a level over 6% and a decrease in the ratio of administrative costs to the value of real properties to 0.7%. The Group also has potential for increasing the level of external financing up to LTV of approx. 50%.

including centralization of management and a reduction in the number of employees, the company significantly reduced costs of administration and sales. A more than twofold reduction in wages and salaries was possible due to optimizing the employment level.

Restructuring of the portfolio of properties remaining in the portfolio in 2011 – 2015

In 2011 (after creating Capital Group), the structure of real properties remaining in the portfolio was insufficient to effectively compete on the market of modern commercial space. Subsequently, in 2014, the effects of activities aimed at organizing the portfolio, and in 2015 a dynamic growth in the

share of modern A class space in the Company's properties portfolio could be seen, as well as a considerable decrease in the number of villas and apartment blocks, which are not connected with the Group's target property portfolio.

5.3. Anticipated development of the Group

Grupa Kapitałowa Polskiego Holdingu Nieruchomości S.A. focuses its asset management activities on actions aimed at achieving the strategic objective, namely ensuring higher sustainable net operating profit. This objective can be achieved by appropriate management of the portfolio of core properties generating lease revenues and a further increase in the value of properties portfolio due to the implementation of the investment programme. The middle- and long-term strategic objective of the Group is to increase the Group's net operating profit generated by the target investment portfolio to the market level. An increase in operating profit will be possible through improvement of operating profit on real properties remaining in the portfolio, implementation of own new investment projects, purchase of new and commercialized real properties, and sale of properties which do not fit into the target operating model.

The operational implementation of the strategy in respect of real properties which remain in the portfolio will be effected, among other things, by extending lease agreements which were concluded on favourable conditions. The Group tries to conclude lease agreements for at least 5 years for selected properties, in order to increase the tenant base and to support uninterrupted periods of lease. Part of the costs of maintaining the properties is gradually transferred on to the tenants. The Group encourages the existing tenants to increase space leased by them. Repairs and modernization of the space are conducted, which increases the standard and allows to retain the existing clients and attract new ones. The Group seeks new stable tenants, in particular corporate ones. As part of the restructuring, all supporting services in respect of current management and maintenance of real properties and facilities were outsourced to specialist external entities.

The goal of the Group is to further improve the operating effectiveness by continuing restructuring activities to optimize its corporate structure and cost base. The Group is implementing the corporate structure reorganization programme under which, among other things, it has partly reduced the deferred tax provision which is calculated in the financial statements based on amortized cost and the book value of a given real property as at the reporting date. At the same time, the Group will adjust its organizational structure to the market standards (consolidation of selected entities, allocation of assets to special purpose vehicles, provision of services by people employed in service companies).

The Group will aim to increase the share of financing of assets with external capital in order to increase the profitability of own capital. This strategy will be followed primarily in respect of real properties purchased and new investment projects. At the same time, the model of seeking business partners for joint ventures and hedging the Group against exchange rate fluctuations will be continued.

Anticipated effects of the strategy up to 2023

INCREASE IN THE PROPERTIES VALUE OUTLAYS ON ACQUISITION LTV LEVEL
PLN 5.7 billion > PLN 1 billion 50%
The potential to increase the value of the properties
portfolio by 2023, from PLN 2.0 billion to PLN 5.7 billion
(an increase of 185%).
Potential for earmarking over PLN 1 billion for the

revenues.
Potential to increase the amount of external financing to an
LTV level of approx. 50%.
INCREASE IN NET ASSETS YIELD SGA / GAV*
+ 75% 6% + 0.7%

The implementation of the Company's strategy assumes fundamental changes in the structure of net profit by generating results from operating activities mainly from the lease, instead of the existing one-off effects of changes in the Group structure.

5.4. Evaluation of the possibility to realize the investment assumptions

Grupa Kapitałowa Polskiego Holdingu Nieruchomości S.A. has full capacity to implement the planned investment goals. Projects will be financed from own funds and from external sources of financing, including, e.g. bank loans, issue of bonds. An external source of financing will be selected each time depending on the specific investment project. One of the sources of external capital used in financing new investment projects will be proceeds from the sale of real properties. Moreover, the Group intends to perform the largest commercial projects as joint ventures with its partners. It is anticipated that in

such cases, investment outlays related to specific commercial projects will be incurred by the Group and its JV partners.

7.2 Analysis of the consolidated statement of financial position

Investment properties constituted the major component of noncurrent assets. In 2015, their value increased by PLN 91.3 million due to:

  • reclassification of a part of the property located at Prymasa Tysiąclecia from investment properties to inventories due to the commencement of a residential development project (PLN 46.5 million);
  • reclassification of the following properties from investment properties to non-current assets classified as held for sale: Prądzyńskiego 21, Wiejska 20, Konstancińska 13, Filtrowa 47, Humańska 10, Racławicka 126, Willowa 7, Zawrat 4, Łężyca, the hotel in Pruszków and the hotel in Świebodzin due to finding a buyer (PLN 57.8 million);
  • disclosing a property in assets due to a change in its legal status (PLN 25.1 million);
  • sale of property (PLN 23.2 million);
  • impairment (PLN 86.8 million).

  • recognizing depreciation of PLN 1.4 million;
  • purchase of property, plant and equipment of PLN 0.3 million;
  • disposal and impairment of property, plant and equipment of PLN 1.6 million.

Deferred income tax assets increased by PLN 35.0 million in 2015, mainly due to an increase in the asset recognized in respect of the difference between the tax value of the properties and their carrying value, as well as due to the fact that assets in respect of accumulated tax losses were acquired in connection with the acquisition of the company Andersia Business Center Sp. z o.o. (currently SPV 33 Sp. z o.o.).

Current assets increased by PLN 19.9 million in 2015 mainly due to:

  • disposal of units (PLN 20.9 million);
  • incurring expenditure on the construction of development projects (PLN 0.8 million);
  • a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of PLN 9.9 million.

The amount of equity attributable to the equity holders of the parent company in 2015 increased by PLN 2.7 million due to:

earmarking the amount of PLN 60.7 million for the payment of dividend to the shareholders;

  • generating a net profit (PLN 49.1 million);
  • change in the ownership structure resulting from issue of shares in exchange for shares acquired in subsidiaries (PLN 22.4 million);
  • purchase of shares from non-controlling shareholders (PLN 7.9 million);
  • a decrease in the revaluation reserve (PLN 0.2 million).

The amount of non-current liabilities in 2015 increased by PLN 246.0 million, mainly due to an increase in the liabilities in respect of bank loans of PLN 290.5 million, which was partly offset with a decrease in the deferred tax provision of PLN 34.8 million and in other provisions of PLN 9.7 million.

  • a decrease in the amount of advance payments for the purchase of investment properties (PLN 3.8 million);
  • a decrease in capital expenditure commitments of PLN 6.0 million;
  • an increase resulting from valuation of financial derivatives of PLN 2.4 million;
  • an increase in other current liabilities of PLN 5.2 million;

7.3 Analysis of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income

an increase in current debt (PLN 7.8 million);

In 2015, the Group earned a net profit of PLN 50.8 million, which was PLN 57.0 million lower than in 2014, due to the net effect of:

  • an increase in the result on lease of PLN 4.6 million, mainly due to the acquisition and commercialization of developed properties;
  • a PLN 2.5 million decrease in the result on property development due to the occurrence of one-off events (in 2015, reversal of the provision for guarantee repairs and compensations of PLN 3.0 million; in 2014, the result on the disposal of undeveloped land and reversal of its impairment of PLN 4.3 million);
  • a PLN 1.8 million increase in the result on other activities due to resuming the hotel business;
  • maintaining stable administrative expenses and selling costs;

  • a PLN 50.7 million increase in impairment write-downs for investment properties (mainly due to the situation on the real estate market, including an increase in the amount of vacant lower-standard space, a decrease in rent rates and capital expenditure planned by the Group), which were partly offset with a PLN 6.4 million increase in the gain on disposal of investment properties;

  • a PLN 19.2 million increase in net other income and expenses, resulting mainly from one-off events, including a change in the legal status of properties and civil law transactions tax refund of PLN 8.0 million, partly offset with goodwill amortization of PLN 4.0 million and a PLN 10.2 million decrease in the amount of reversal of provisions for claims relating to previous years;

Despite increased competition on the market of commercial real estate resulting in a decrease in rents, the Group's revenues in the lease segment in 2015 were PLN 4.6 million (8.3%) higher than in the previous year. This increase was mainly due to the purchase of the properties Andersia Business Center in Poznań and Jana Pawła II 12, as well as commercialization of the Krywulta 2 and Domaniewska properties. The net profit/(loss) on sales increased by PLN 6.5 million y/y. EBITDA in the lease segment amounted to PLN 34.4 million and increased by PLN 6.1 million y/y. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to PLN 34.4 million and increased by PLN 6.1 million y/y.

Gross profit from sales in the property development segment in 2015 amounted to PLN 8.7 million and was PLN 2.5 million lower than in the previous year. The lower result in the analysed period was primarily due to one-off events that occurred in 2014: the disposal of two undeveloped land properties (the result on their disposal amounted to PLN 3.0 million) and the reversal of impairment write-downs in respect of undeveloped land of PLN 1.3 million due to an increase in their value; moreover, in 2015 a part of provisions for guarantee repairs and damages in property development of PLN 3.0 million was reversed.

Lower revenues and costs of sales adjusted for one-off events are mainly a result of the sale of the last units in the completed project Parzniew II. In 2015, final agreements for the sale of 87 units were executed (2014: 103 units). Consequently, adjusted EBITDA was lower than in 2014 and it amounted to PLN 1.8 million.

As at 31 December 2015, the Group had 42 built units, including 19 contracted units. The Group had no units under construction as at 31 December 2015. In 2015, the Group concluded 84 preliminary agreements for the sale of units (2014: 95 units).

Except for the results of operating segments described, the Group's operating profit/loss for the analysed period was affected by the administrative expenses of the parent company,

which acted as a holding company. From the business perspective, such costs are not allocated to operating segments.

In 2015, the Group generated positive net cash flows from operating activities in the amount of PLN 46.3 million, mainly resulting from:

  • payment of current income tax in the amount of PLN 4.0 million;

  • receiving a refund of tax on civil law transactions in the amount of PLN 8.0 million;

  • a decrease in other working capital of PLN 5.7 million.

Negative cash flows from investing activities generated in 2015 of PLN 136.9 million comprised expenditure on investment properties of PLN 118.8 million, acquisition of subsidiaries in the amount of PLN 49.1 million, acquisition of interests in jointly controlled entities of PLN 7.5 million, loans granted to jointly controlled entities of PLN 2.8 million (partly offset with proceeds from the disposal of investment properties and property, plant and equipment of PLN 39.5 million, proceeds from dividends of PLN 0.5 million and proceeds from interest on bank deposits of PLN 1.3 million).

In 2015, the Group generated positive cash flows from financing activities of PLN 80.7 million, resulting from proceeds from bank loans of PLN 175.6 million offset with payment of dividend of PLN 60.7 million, repayment of liabilities in respect of a bank loan of PLN 28.2 million, payment of PLN 5.6 million for shares repurchased from minority shareholders, and repayment of financial liabilities resulting from car fleet lease of PLN 0.4 million.

9. Significant risk factors

In its operations the Group monitors and assesses risks on a current basis to limit the unfavourable impact of changes in risk factors on its financial position.

9.1 Legal risk

Risk of absence of the necessary permits or consents required for some of the building facilities owned

The Group does not have complete documentation relating to the acquisition, construction, modernization and use of some of the real estate and buildings currently owned by the Group. This is mainly due to the fact that the files, records and other documents in this respect kept by the Group and the public administration authorities are incomplete as a result of the historical transformations of the Group. Therefore, it is impossible to guarantee that the Group, its legal predecessors or third parties that leased, rented or used the real estate and buildings currently owned by the Group had obtained all the required consents, approvals and other administrative decisions in this respect or that they had made all the notifications and paid all fees required in connection with the acquisition, construction, use, modernization or extension of a given building. Moreover, the Group cannot guarantee that it satisfies all the requirements specified in the administrative decisions issued for such real estate or that the real estate and buildings meet all the conditions, including technical ones, required to obtain all necessary administrative decisions. These risks result primarily from: (i) the nature of the Group's portfolio, which includes many buildings erected several dozen years ago; (ii) the long operating history of the Group companies and their legal predecessors, as well as the organizational and corporate changes affecting the Group companies and their legal predecessors in the past; (iii) force majeure events; (iv) irregularities resulting from actions of third parties (e.g. former lessees and tenants of real estate currently owned by the Group or former owners or tenants of such real estate before it became a part of the Group's portfolio); (v) human errors of employees of

members of the Management Boards and Supervisory Boards of Group companies and their relatives and no other agreements were concluded with such persons on the basis of which they would be obliged to render services to Polski Holding Nieruchomości S.A. and its related entities.

As at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014 no loans were granted by Group companies to the Management Board and Supervisory Board members and their relatives.

In the year ended 31 December 2015, the Group did not enter into any significant transactions with the Management Board and Supervisory Board members or their relatives.

the Group's legal predecessors; and (vi) unclear laws or their wrong interpretation, in particular in the period in which the Group's buildings were erected. If the competent public administration authority finds out, in particular as a result of an inspection of real estate and buildings, that the Group has failed to make all the notifications required by law with respect to its real estate or buildings or obtain all the required consents, permits and other administrative decisions for their construction, repair and use, or that the current conditions of use of such real estate or buildings do not meet the legal requirements, it may (among others): (i) prohibit the Group from using a given building; (ii) impose an obligation on the Group to adjust the conditions of a given building to the legal requirements; or (iii) impose on the Group an obligation to restore the real estate to its previous condition, in particular by demolition of a building.

Moreover, the administration authorities may impose on Group Companies administrative penalties and fines for present or past violations of administrative requirements. In consequence, the Group may also have to terminate rental agreements for such buildings or the Group's tenants may be able to terminate their agreements.

The Group tries to mitigate this risk by analyzing its documents in detail and taking actions aimed at obtaining the necessary permits and consents.

Risk of use of some buildings in a manner inconsistent with the relevant administrative decisions relating to their use.

The Group uses some of its buildings in a manner inconsistent with their purpose as notified to the public administration authorities or defined in the administrative or other decisions. Moreover, the Group is unable to confirm that all its properties meet all the technical requirements associated with the purposes for which they are used, including the fire safety, work safety and sanitary conditions that must be met by buildings used for such purposes. These risks result primarily from: (i) the nature of the Group's portfolio, which includes many buildings erected several dozen years ago; (ii) the long operating history of the Group companies and their legal predecessors, as well as the organizational and corporate changes affecting the Group companies and their legal predecessors in the past; (iii) force majeure events; (iv) irregularities resulting from actions of third parties (e.g. former lessees and tenants of real estate currently owned by the Group or former owners or tenants of such real estate before it became a part of the Group's portfolio); (v) human errors, including errors of the Group's employees; and (vi) unclear laws or their wrong interpretation in respect of the actual status.

Should a public administration authority determine that the function of a building or a part thereof has been changed, in particular from residential to office, without the required notification, it can suspend the use of the building or a part thereof and impose a legalization fee, and subsequently demand the previous function of the building or a part thereof to be restored. Moreover, it can impose administrative penalties on the Group companies for violating the permitted manner of using a building at present or in the past. In the event of using a building or a part thereof in a manner inconsistent with its purpose, the Group may also face other adverse consequences, such as increased levies. In particular, the obligation to adjust a building to the requirements applicable to office space is associated with the need to incur additional costs to change the formal purpose of using such a building, including an increase in the annual perpetual usufruct fee from 1% (residential buildings) to 3% (office space), which will have an impact on the net operating profit generated by the Group on those properties. The Group may also be required to terminate certain rental agreements, in particular concerning apartments used as office space, or the Group's tenants may terminate such agreements.

Risk of terminating or not extending perpetual usufruct agreements concluded by the Group companies

As at 31 December 2015 the Group uses 83 properties based on perpetual usufruct agreements concluded with the State Treasury or with local governments or their associations. Perpetual usufruct agreements are as a rule concluded for a specified period of 99 years and most of the Group's agreements were concluded for this period.

An agreement for perpetual usufruct of land by a Group Company may be terminated before the date specified therein if the land is used in a manner obviously contrary to its purpose specified in the agreement. Due to the fact that a large number of properties are used by the Group based on perpetual usufruct agreements, the Group is unable to determine with certainty that in the past and currently it has met all the obligations specified in the agreements. Therefore, the Group cannot rule out the risk of termination of such agreements before the end of their term. Additionally, the Group cannot ensure that all the concluded perpetual usufruct agreements will be extended for further periods, and that they will not be terminated as a result of reprivatization claims or other claims for restitution of real estate. Termination of an agreement concerning one plot of land which is a part of a larger property of the Group covered by the Group's investment programme can lead to problems with or delay in the execution of such a programme.

Risk of legal disputes

The Group's activity is mainly connected with real estate lease, sales and management, which involve a number of court cases and other legal proceedings which are a part of the Group's regular business activities. There might be claims relating to the Group's properties, and the Group may be held liable for events occurring at building sites, such as accidents, injuries or deaths of the Group's employees, employees of subcontractors or other persons visiting such building sites. Other disputes which may involve the Group include in particular disputes with individual residents concerning replacement or maintenance of equipment or finishing of residential premises, disputes relating to lease and settlement of fees for utilities.

Furthermore, construction of buildings and sales of real estate, especially apartments, as part of the Group's residential development projects involves the risk of claims being brought in connection with defects in construction works and claims for repair works in connection with such defects, especially under guarantees. The Group cannot guarantee that such claims are not brought against it in the future or that repair or other works will not be necessary.

Risk of challenging the Group's right to possess or use real estate

The Group is exposed to inherent risk associated with investing in Poland, resulting from the unclear legal status of some of the real estate located in Poland. After the nationalization laws were implemented in Poland in the post-war period many private properties and companies were taken over by the state. In many cases, property was expropriated in breach of the law. In particular, real estate in Warsaw was covered by a special decree issued in 1945, on the basis of which many Warsaw properties were nationalized (the "Warsaw Decree"). In the years 1989-1990, after Poland's transition to market economy, many former real estate owners or their legal successors began efforts to recover their real estate or companies lost after World War II or to obtain compensation. For many years, attempts have been made to regulate the issue of re-privatization claims. Nevertheless, to date no law has been passed in Poland to regulate re-privatization procedures in a comprehensive manner. Under the current regulations, former real estate owners or their legal successors may apply to public authorities for revoking the administrative decisions on the basis of which their real estate was expropriated, provided that such administrative decisions were issued in breach of the law binding at the time.

In accordance with the Management Board's knowledge, the Group's portfolio of real estate with legal defects (with little potential for positive resolution) includes 19 properties. The Group classified 16 more properties (and land plots forming part of the properties at Świętokrzyska 36 and Bartycka 26) to its portfolio of real estate with legal defects (with potential for positive resolution). Classifying real estate as having legal defects means that: (i) the Group may have no right to possess such real estate, (ii) the ownership title held by the Group or the State Treasury has been challenged by third parties, or (iii) the Group may have problems with determining beyond any doubt that it holds the ownership title, the perpetual usufruct right or another property right to the real estate or that it uses the real estate on the basis of a contract or on another legal basis. Consequently, the Group may lose the right to possess some of its properties to former owners, their heirs, purchasers of claims or other entitled persons. There is also a risk that in some cases the Group will be obliged to return some benefits obtained in connection with using the real estate or to pay compensation for using the real estate without a legal title. The Group recognized a provision for satisfying claims concerning the portfolio of real estate with legal defects (with little potential for positive resolution) held in bad faith as at 31 December 2015. A provision was not created for the portfolio of real estate with legal defects with potential for positive resolution. Classification of real estate from the legal perspective was based on the best knowledge of the Management Board, however, it is impossible to guarantee that this classification will not change due to various circumstances, the majority of which remain outside the Group's control, such as: court decisions issued in similar cases in the future or new re-privatization claims brought with respect to the Group's real estate classified as free of legal defects or having legal defects with potential for positive resolution. It cannot be guaranteed, either, that the Group's classification will not be questioned in the future.

It is not certain whether new re-privatization claims or other claims will not be brought in the future against the Group or against owners of the real estate which is currently included in

9.2 Market risk

Risk related to acquiring finance for the investment programme on the expected terms and conditions, within the expected time

the Group's portfolio. It is not certain, either, that the provisions created by the Group for satisfying such claims have been or will be estimated accurately.

Risk of tax disputes

Due to the fact that legal regulations are often complicated and difficult to interpret and the practice and judicature are inconsistent, potential disputes with tax authorities cannot be ruled out, and as a result correctness of tax settlements of Group companies in respect of tax dues which are not overdue may be challenged and tax arrears may be assessed.

Moreover, the Group Companies have concluded transactions with related entities and the practice is continued. Despite the Group's undertaking all the measures required to maintain arm's length conditions in transactions with related entities, it cannot be guaranteed that there will be no potential disputes with the tax authorities in this respect and that the tax authorities will not in effect assess the terms and legal effects of the transactions with related entities differently, and in consequence attempt to assess additional tax liabilities.

Risk of amendments to legal regulations

The Group's activity in Poland is subject to various regulations, such as requirements regarding the investment process, fire protection and safety regulations, environmental regulations, labour laws and laws restricting the use of land. If the Group's projects and real estate do not comply with these regulations, the Group may be obliged to pay penalties or damages provided for by law.

Moreover, the implementation of stricter regulations protecting the environment or health and safety or executive procedures in Poland may result in considerable costs and liabilities for the Group, and facilities owned or used by the Group may be subject to stricter supervision and control. Also, amendments to the regulations applicable to residential development activity aimed at protecting the interests of consumers may adversely affect the Group's activity by increasing the costs of development activities.

Adopting new laws, directives, regulations or orders, or amendments to the existing ones, may require considerable, unforeseen expenditures or to establishing restrictions on the use of certain facilities by the Group, which may have a significant adverse effect on the Group's activity, its financial position and operating result.

During the execution of its investment programme, the Group will incur significant initial expenses and, therefore, it will need significant funds, including funds from external sources.

Without the possibility of obtaining financing on satisfactory terms, the funds available to the Group at present may prove insufficient for the execution of its strategy, the level of the Group's development may be lower than expected, and the time needed to achieve the specific strategic goals may be longer than it was initially assumed.

In a situation where:

  • the Group's capital requirements will be significantly different from those currently assumed
  • the Group's proceeds from sales of properties which do not constitute the core business and which are to be sold under the disinvestment programme are lower than expected
  • the Group does not find the required partner to a joint venture ensuring appropriate funds for the construction of a facility

the Group may find it necessary to obtain additional borrowings at an amount higher than previously expected.

Risk of impact of the financial, macroeconomic and political conditions in Poland and throughout the world on the Group's operations

Revenues generated by the Group depend to some extent on the economic conditions both in the world and in Poland, where the Group operates and where it has all its assets. The Group's

9.3 Liquidity and credit risk

Risk related to the Group's increased debt

As at the balance sheet date the Group's debt in respect of bank loans is PLN 312.4 million. The Group expects that the level of external financing will increase in the future in connection with the execution of the planned commercial development projects. Growing importance of external debt has the following implications:

  • increased exposure to adverse economic conditions in the Group's business environment;
  • limited flexibility of the Group when facing changes in the competitive and macroeconomic environment;
  • the need to use a part of cash from operating activities for servicing liabilities;
  • limited ability to obtain further external financing for development projects or the need to obtain financing on less favourable terms.

Additionally, the Group is exposed to a risk of fluctuations in interest rates which affect the amount of interest on bank loans. The interest rates depend on a number of factors beyond the Group's control. A significant increase in interest rates may increase the costs of financing and, therefore, have an adverse operations are affected in particular by: the level of Polish GDP, the inflation rate, foreign exchange rates, interest rates, unemployment rate, the amount of average salary, the State's fiscal and monetary policies. The Group's properties are subject to macroeconomic factors and specific local conditions in the region where they are located. A large portion of the Group's properties is located in Warsaw and in the largest regional cities in Poland, such as Poznań, the Tricity, Łódź and Wrocław. In consequence the Group may be affected by the adverse changes on the real estate market in Warsaw and in other regions where it operates. These changes may be more intense or larger in scope than in other regions of Poland. The Group's real estate portfolio concentrates on commercial properties, in particular office space, which causes the Group to be exposed to adverse changes in those property market segments in Poland, including an increase in competition, growing market saturation in the segments and high oversupply which may lead to the necessity of reducing lease rent.

The economic situation in Poland and, consequently, the Group's business, may also be affected by adverse economic or political events in the neighbouring countries that experience political instability, tension and social or ethnic unrest and conflicts.

effect on the Group's business activities, profitability and financial results.

In order to mitigate the risk associated with external financing, the Group monitors the level of its debt and liquidity on an ongoing basis and analyses its capital structure. Additionally, the Group hedges against the risk of interest rate fluctuations by concluding derivative hedging contracts.

Foreign exchange risk

Part of the Group's bank loans and a part of its rental revenues are denominated in foreign currencies. Therefore, significant changes in exchange rates may, on the one hand, lead to deterioration of the Group's profitability and financial result and on the other – cause problems with the solvency of the tenants whose rents are denominated in foreign currencies.

The Group monitors foreign exchange rates on an ongoing basis and takes actions to mitigate the adverse effect of their changes. The Group hedges against foreign exchange risk by concluding derivative hedging contracts. Additionally, to mitigate this risk the Group uses natural hedging which means that contracts with lessees on a given project are denominated in the currency of the respective loan.

The Group's liquidity risk

Completing investments and purchasing real estate the Group gradually increases the share of borrowings in its financing structure. This is related to liquidity risk and the risk of disturbing the balance between financing operations and timely repayment

9.4 Industry risk

Risk of increased competition on the part of other entities which invest in real estate, real estate managers, and developers

The Group in particular competes with other entities investing in real estate, both local and international, real estate managers and other property lessors. Competition on the market can lead to unavailability of tenants, pressure from tenants on reducing rents (which happened in 2009), as well as increases in the costs of marketing activities and the costs of execution of the planned projects. Due to increased competition the Group may lose some of its tenants and lessees or be required to reduce the rent amount. Moreover, if the attractiveness of a specific location is adversely affected by the presence of a competitor's building in the same area, the construction may be delayed or discontinued. The Group mitigates this risk by modernizing particular properties and increasing the portfolio by highstandard properties.

Risk related to the Group's lessees

The Group's real estate is rented by tenants and lessees of different nature and solvency ratios. There is a risk that some of them may become insolvent and the respective dues will become uncollectible. To minimize this risk selecting tenants and lessees in stable financial and economic conditions is key to the Group. Lease agreements are secured with guarantees or security deposits. Payments from lessees are monitored on a current basis, which enables the Group to quickly react to payment delays.

Risk related to increase in the costs of real estate maintenance

Many rental agreements concluded by the Group do not provide for a possibility of charging the costs of maintenance, utilities or property management directly to the tenants. Consequently, such costs are borne by the Group and they can be transferred to the tenants on a lump-sum basis in an adequate proportion in the form of rent increases. The market conditions and the requirements applicable to rent rates can limit the possibility of transferring such costs or a part thereof to the Group's tenants. In particular, most rental agreements concluded by the Group contain a clause concerning partial or full indexation of rent, which is usually performed once a year. This may reflect fully or at the appropriate time the increase in particular real estate maintenance costs. Moreover, if a rental agreement does not

To ensure that the required liquidity is maintained the Group monitors cash flows and keeps cash in amounts sufficient to cover the expected operating expenses and current financial liabilities, and maintains the stipulated liquidity ratios.

contain the rent indexation clause, the rent may remain fixed for a relatively long period (in particular in the case of agreements concluded for a specified period) even though the costs of property maintenance incurred by the Group grow. The costs of property maintenance may grow due to a number of factors, including inflation. A significant increase in the costs of property maintenance, which cannot be offset by increasing the rent, may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial position and results of operations.

In order to minimize such risk, the Group takes actions resulting from its strategy, which are aimed at a gradual transfer of a major part of the costs associated with the real estate to tenants. Additionally, new rental agreements are concluded according to the rent plus maintenance fees formula.

Risk related to sale of real estate earmarked for sale under the disinvestment programme in the planned period

The Group's strategy assumes generating revenues also from the sale of some of the Group's properties unrelated to the target profile of the Group's activity, which are held for sale under the disinvestment programme. Sale of real estate is usually a complex and long-term process. A long time may pass between making a decision to start the real estate disposal process and the date on which the disposal is actually made. Such time may be longer than assumed by the Group due to factors independent of the Group. In this period, in particular, market conditions may deteriorate or an entity interested in purchasing a specific property may change its plans. As a result, the Company may not guarantee that it will achieve revenues from sold real estate in the amount specified in the valuations of the individual properties. The sale process may also be delayed or discontinued due to re-privatization claims brought against Group Companies. Such limitations or other actions of third parties may adversely affect the Group's ability to make sales at expected prices or in the planned period.

Risk related to execution of the acquired development projects

Many risks are associated with the complex technical and legal nature of development projects. They include mainly the possibility of not obtaining the permits necessary to use the land in accordance with the Group's plans, exceeding the budgeted costs, delays in completing the project, insolvency of the contractors or subcontractors, unfortunate accidents or unexpected technical difficulties, inability to obtain consents, permits or other decisions from public administration bodies. Additionally, the Group cannot ensure that the permits, consents or other decisions currently held or obtained in the future are not revoked or that the period of their validity will be extended. If any of those risks arise delays may occur in the completion of the project, their costs may increase or potential revenues may be lost, and in some cases the investment project itself may be impossible to complete.

Those risks are mitigated, among other things, by cooperating with verified contractors in stable financial position, securing the general contractor agreements and employing experienced professionals to take responsibility for the investment project.

Risk of increase in costs related to modernization and repairing properties

Maintaining the technical condition of a leased property at a certain level so as to ensure its attractiveness for the current and future tenants may lead to significant costs which are usually charged to the landlord. The Group may be unable to transfer the costs to the tenants.

The Group's real estate portfolio also includes properties developed several dozen years ago, which have not been thoroughly modernized in recent years. The need to modernize or repair the Group's real estate may result from reasons independent of the Group, including force majeure events, which may lead to the necessity of the Group's incurring costs that had not been planned or significantly exceeding the costs planned for that year. The Group's real estate may also suffer damages because of hidden defects (which are not covered by insurance policies or statutory warranties or building guarantees) or due to external factors (e.g. floods, high groundwater level, landslides). Additionally, the Group may be obliged to eliminate the consequences of external factors or repair identified defects e.g. without the possibility of transferring such costs to third parties, especially tenants.

Risk of the cyclic nature of the real estate market

Demand for office space leased from the Group and the number of the Group's development projects (including residential ones) vary from one year to another, depending on, among others, general macroeconomic factors, demographic changes in specific urban areas and market prices. Generally, growing demand contributes to an increase in realized profit and in the number of new projects, as well as increased activity of the Group's competitors. Due to a relatively long period between making a decision to start a project and its actual completion, partly resulting from a lengthy procedure of obtaining the required permits from public administration authorities, commercialization of planned projects and the project lead time, there is a risk that when a project is completed, the market will be saturated and the investor will not be able to lease or sell the project at the expected profit. A period of improved economic situation on the market is usually followed by a downturn and investors are discouraged from starting new projects because of a decrease in potential profits. There is no guarantee that during a downturn on the market the Group will be able to select those projects within its investment program that will satisfy the actual demand during the subsequent boom. Furthermore, demand for residential real estate may depend on the government policy in the area of co-financing or easier access to mortgage loans for certain buyers of certain types of apartments. Any changes in the government policy that are associated with difficulties in obtaining mortgage loans may decrease demand for residential real estate. An increase in interest rates, deterioration in the economic situation of households and regulatory limitations imposed on banks in the area of granting loans and borrowings may cause a further decrease in demand for apartments and houses, which may persist. In addition, banks may further limit or restrict the terms and conditions for granting new mortgage loans or increase interest rates. Also passing new acts and introducing the socalled bank tax may lead to a drop in availability of loans for households. These factors may additionally decrease demand for new apartments.

Risk of violation of consumer protection regulations

The Group's activity, in particular in the area of sales of residential real estate, must be conducted in compliance with the relevant consumer protection laws. The Group's activities in this respect are subject to supervision by the President of UOKiK with regard to, among others, compliance with regulations prohibiting specific practices which violate common interests of consumers (such as providing inaccurate information to customers, unfair market practices and including forbidden clauses in templates of agreements). Pursuant to the Competition and Consumer Protection Act, the President of UOKiK is entitled to issue decisions stating that a given agreement violates collective interests of consumers and, consequently, prohibit certain practices and impose fines (up to 10% of revenues obtained in the year preceding the year in which the fine was imposed) or take other measures.

Competition protection authorities (or other legal authorities) and individuals may initiate court proceedings to declare a given provision of an agreement template illegal. Customers may bring claims against Group companies, individually or as part of a class action, for using such clauses in agreements. One cannot guarantee that such claims will not be brought by the Group's clients and they may have an adverse effect on the Group's activity.

Administrative risk

The Group's activity requires ongoing participation in a number of administrative proceedings conducted by various public administration authorities. Such proceedings are usually formalized and prolonged. If, during such proceedings, the Group does not comply with all formal requirements, its requests, demands or notifications will be rejected or dismissed. Furthermore, public administration authorities in Poland are to a large extent entitled to make arbitrary decisions and may not be controlled by other authorities or bound by requirements with

9.5 Other risks

Risk of fluctuations in the value of the Group's real estate The Group measures most of its assets at fair value via external property valuation experts. The assumptions according to which the valuation is performed relates in particular to the right of use of the property, examination of the condition of the environment and land status, third party claims, rent agreements, usable space, equipment and planning issues. The valuation may also be based on specific assumptions relating to concrete properties. There is no certainty that the valuation assumptions relating to the capitalization rate and the assumed annual rental revenue will be achieved. Forecasts may turn out to be incorrect due to a limited number and quality of public data and research relating to Poland. An additional factor with an impact on the value of the real estate are – among other things – costs of building or modernizing the facilities assessed by the Group on the basis of current and forecast prices of materials and services which may differ from actual prices when the related costs are incurred. If the forecasts, estimates and assumptions forming the basis for estimating the value of the properties in the Group's portfolio turn out to be different than those assumed, the actual value of the Group's portfolio real estate may differ significantly from that assessed by the property valuation experts. Additionally, the value of the real estate may be assessed using various methods, and even if the same methods are used, the principles applied may be differently interpreted. Thus it cannot be ensured that the valuation experts assessing the value of the Group's properties will use the same methods or will obtain the same results. If the market conditions and the prices of comparable commercial properties are unstable, the Group may note high profits or losses on revaluation of the currently held properties.

Risk following from completing some of the investments as part of joint ventures

The Group intends to perform most of its commercial development projects within joint ventures. According to agreements defining rules for such ventures, control over such assets is exercised by the Group jointly with the partner. Even if the Group has controlling interest in a given venture, some decisions relating to projects will require consent or approval by other partners in the joint venture. Disputes may occur between the Group and its partners in joint ventures, as a result of which

respect to hearing the parties, prior notification or public control. Public administration authorities may exercise their right to make decisions in an arbitrary or selective manner or contrary to the law and under the influence of political or economic circumstances. The Group is trying to limit this risk by employing professionals and by availing itself of its experience in conducting administrative procedures.

the Group may not be able to manage or complete a given project in a manner it believes to be reasonable.

In particular, disputes between the Group and its partners may result from different objectives thereof, from their actions violating the agreement concluded with the Group, their financial problems, delays in project execution for reasons attributable to the partners, or insufficient experience and knowledge on their part.

Such factors may lead to delays in project completion or increase in the costs incurred by the Group in connection with a project executed as part of a joint venture, and after completion of the project may influence the realizable values on the sale or rental, and increase the costs of use of the property.

To mitigate the above risk the Group thoroughly analyzes its potential partners at the stage of their selection.

Risks related to liabilities in respect of environment protection and health and safety protection standards

In Poland, environment protection regulations impose on owners the obligation to rehabilitate land contaminated with dangerous or toxic substances. It should be noted, however, that if so called "old damage" to the environment is identified (damage that occurred up to 30 April 2007 and damage caused by actions completed before 30 April 2007) in the land possessed by the Group, the Group may be obliged to rehabilitate the land, regardless of who caused the damage and when it was caused. Furthermore, the Polish environment protection regulations are changing and becoming stricter. Such regulations often impose obligations regardless of whether the owner of a particular plot knew about the presence of contaminating substances or whether or not the owner is responsible for the contamination. The presence of such substances in any of the Group's facilities or liability for the failure to remove contamination with such substances may adversely affect the Group's ability to sell or lease such facilities or to take out a loan secured on such property. Also, the presence of dangerous or toxic substances in a facility may prevent, delay or restrict development or redevelopment of such property.

In addition, in view of the fact that some of the Group's buildings were built several dozen years ago, some materials used for their construction are now regarded as hazardous to human health, life and safety, e.g. asbestos. Consequently, in the future the Group will be obliged to remove such materials and may have to bring its facilities to the condition that does not present a threat to human health or life, if it is found out that safety standards have been exceeded or if stricter standards are introduced. It cannot be excluded, either, that some of the Group's properties will require rehabilitation of contaminated soil or ground in order to restore them to the condition compliant with legal requirements or required quality standards.

Reputation risk

The opinion of the market about the Group is an important factor affecting its business activities. The Group's business activity is exposed to risks caused by spreading negative or slanderous information about the Group, especially questioning the condition or safety of its properties, whether or not such opinions are justified. This may have a significant adverse effect on the Group's competitive position and its ability to lease space and sell real estate effectively. In consequence, the number of vacancies in the Group's properties or the amounts spent on promotional activities may increase. At the same time, negative information itself and the resulting decrease in the level of trust in the Group's ability to lease or sell real estate may have a significant adverse effect on the Group's business activity, its financial position and operating result. The Group strives to ensure the highest possible operating transparency, appropriate quality of communication with the investors and protection of shareholder rights, also in respect of issues not regulated by the law. The Group is also in constant contact with the media, both nationwide and industry media, and informs its shareholders,

Risk of the Group's inability to maintain or acquire Management Board Members and executives

When managing assets, executing projects, implementing its strategy and performing restructuring and integration processes, the Group relies on highly qualified team of employees, and in particular on Management Board members and qualified senior managerial staff. Losing any Management Board member may significantly delay or prevent the performance of the Group's strategy or achievement of its business objectives and adversely affect its restructuring and integration. Due to a limited number of suitably qualified staff and statutory limitations concerning remuneration of Management Board members, which will remain in force as long as the State Treasury's interest in the Company exceeds 50% of the Shares, the Group may have problems with employing or retaining qualified Management Board members. Furthermore, the Group's future success depends partly on its ability to retain or employ senior managerial staff such as managers with many years of experience in real estate management, execution of investment programs, financing and internal audit. If the Group loses qualified specialists or is unable to employ them, the shortage of employees may have an adverse effect on the Group's ability to manage its assets effectively or to manage the execution of its investment program and its business activities properly. The Group may also be forced to offer higher remuneration and additional benefits in order to find or attract such senior managerial staff.

The Company complies with the obligation to provide reliable information on its activities and important events within the Group.

Investor relations are not, however, limited to obligatory activities which are directly required by law. They also comprise various activities which the Company performs to meet the high expectations of all market participants and, as a result, build reputation and investor confidence in PHN S.A. All significant events are communicated by the Company to the shareholders, investors, analysts and journalists in the form of current reports and press releases.

c) Responding to media publications which create bad publicity for the Company

Polski Holding Nieruchomości S.A. has a procedure in place for responding to media publications creating bad publicity for the Company in a coordinated manner. The procedure was adopted in 2014 in connection with possible publications intentionally causing harm to the Company. In accordance with the procedure, should the Company find out, based on a legal and PR analysis, that publications in media will require taking action, pursuant to chapter I, section 11 GPLC, the Company will publish its position on the Company's website.

The communication addressed to the Supervisory Board may include a request to call a meeting on the matter, should the circumstances so require.

d) Objections concerning compliance with corporate governance principles contained in the GPLC

With reference to Chapter I of Good Practices for Listed Companies containing "Recommendations concerning good practices for listed companies" it should be noted that:

  • Remuneration of Supervisory Board members is determined by the General Shareholders' Meeting, and the principles for remunerating Management Board members and the amount of their remuneration are determined by the Supervisory Board. In order to ensure full compliance with Recommendation 5, the Company contemplates developing and adopting the remuneration policy and the principles for determining such policy.
  • The Company has a policy of employing competent, creative persons with adequate professional experience and education. In 2015, the Management Board consisted of three persons (all men). As of 21 December 2015, the Supervisory Board delegated a Supervisory Board member, Ms. Izabela Felczak-Poturnicka, to temporarily act as Chair of the Management Board, and a Supervisory Board member, Mr Zbigniew Kulewicz, to temporarily act as Deputy Chair of the Management Board. As a result, the Management Board consisted of two persons: one woman and one man. In 2015, the number of Supervisory Board members changed, and the number of male members was always greater than the number of female members. In

view of the above, in 2015 the Company did not ensure the equal participation of women and men in the Management Board and Supervisory Board, which means that the requirements of Recommendation 9 were not complied with.

To date, the Company has not decided to provide shareholders with the opportunity to vote at the General Shareholders' Meeting outside the place where the GSM is held using means of electronic communication. The Company considers adopting Recommendation 12 in the future.

With reference to the principle contained in Chapter III.8, concerning the existence of Supervisory Board committees whose tasks and functions should be regulated by Appendix I to the Recommendation of the European Commission of 15 February 2005 on the role of non-executive or supervisory directors of listed companies and on the committees of the (supervisory) board, it should be noted that Polski Holding Nieruchomości S.A. has only the Audit Committee in place. In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, the Supervisory Board may appoint other committees, in particular the Appointments and Remuneration Committee; however, no such committees have been appointed to date. It should also be noted that the Supervisory Board Rules and Regulations will require Supervisory Board members, immediately after their appointment, to submit to the Company a written statement of compliance with the independence criteria defined in Appendix II to the Recommendation of the European Commission of 15 February 2005 on the role of non-executive directors or members of supervisory boards of listed companies and (supervisory) board committees, and to notify the Company immediately of any changes in this respect occurring during their term of office.

With reference to the principle contained in Chapter IV.10, concerning providing shareholders with the opportunity to take part in the General Shareholders' Meeting using the means of electronic communication in the form of (i) a real-time broadcast of the General Shareholders' Meeting, (ii) real-time bilateral communication allowing the shareholders to speak during the General Shareholders' Meeting from a remote location, it should be noted that there are numerous technical and legal factors that may affect the course of the General Shareholders' Meeting and, consequently, the correct application of the abovementioned principle in the scope described here. In view of the above, to date the Company has not decided to provide the shareholders with the opportunity to vote at the General Shareholders' Meeting] using the means of electronic communication. Moreover, the principles regulating participation in the General Shareholders' Meeting, which are in place at the

Company, allow the shareholders to execute their rights resulting from shares and protect the interests of all shareholders.

11.2 Main characteristics of the internal audit and risk management systems

The internal audit and risk management systems used in the process of preparation of financial statements and consolidated financial statements comprise the internal regulations, procedures and tools applied by the Group.

Additionally, the Group closes its books of account and prepares financial statements in accordance with the schedules, controls and templates of consolidation packages.

Such organization allows standardization and optimization of processes. The Group's financial reporting is based on accounting entries made in the uniform computer system of the ERP class which is used by all entities. The internal audit and risk management system applied in the process of preparing financial statements also involves verification of compliance of the financial statements of Group companies with the facts and inputs to the integrated computer system used for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group records economic events in an integrated computer system whose configuration is consistent with the accounting policy adopted by the Company.

Financial statements are verified by an auditor. Interim financial statements are reviewed by the auditor, and annual financial statements are audited. The results of such reviews and audits are presented by the auditor to the Management Board and the Supervisory Board Audit Committee. In accordance with the procedures adopted, interim and annual financial statements are presented to the Company's Management Board, and subsequently to the Audit Committee, for review. After the review by the Audit Committee and verification by the auditor are completed, the financial statements are signed by the Company's Management Board and subsequently published by the Marketing, Investor Relations and PR Office. In accordance with § 28.1.4 of the Company's Articles of Association, the auditor authorized to review and audit separate and consolidated financial statements is selected by the Supervisory Board. The Company does not currently have a formal procedure in place for replacing the audit firm. The Company replaced its auditor in the past.

The value of assets is measured based on a decision-making model applied to real estate valuation as at the balance sheet date and the procedure for legal review of real estate. In accordance with the adopted procedure, the value of assets is verified quarterly taking into account specified factors. A decision on taking or not taking action is made every quarter,
