ARGO Properties N.V. ("the Company") was incorporated on January 25, 2018 and is a Dutchbased real estate company engaging via investees in the acquisition and management of investment properties in Germany, mainly in the area of income-generating commercial and income-generating residential real estate. The company registration number is 70252750 ; on May 2021 the shares of the company were listed on Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
The financial statements cover the accounting year of the company for 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Title 9, Book 2 of the Netherlands Civil Code and the firm pronunciations of the Dutch Accounting Standards Board (RJ).
The company has opted not to prepare consolidated financial statements, making use of the exemption provided under section 2:407 of the Netherlands Civil Code.
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the going concern principle.
The principles applied for the valuation of assets and liabilities and result determination are based on the historical cost convention.
Unless stated otherwise, assets and liabilities are carried at nominal value.
An asset is disclosed in the balance sheet when it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the value can be measured reliably. A liability is recognised in the balance sheet when it is expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic benefits and the amount of the obligation can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Income is recognised in the profit and loss account when an increase in future economic potential related to an increase in an asset or a decrease in a liability has arisen, the size of which can be measured reliably. Expenses are recognised when a decrease in the economic potential related to a decrease in an asset or an increase in a liability has arisen, the size of which can be measured with sufficient reliability.
If a transaction results in a transfer of all or all future economic benefits and all or almost all risks relating to assets or liabilities to a third party, the asset or liability is no longer included on the balance sheet. Assets and liabilities are not included on the balance sheet if economic benefits are not probable and/or cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
Revenues and expenses are allocated to the period to which they relate. Revenues are recognised when the company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the buyer.
The financial statements are presented in euros.
Participating interests where significant influence is exercised over the business and financial policy are valued according to the net asset value. Participating interests where the company exercises control along with other participants, such as in joint ventures, are valued in the same way.
The net asset value is calculated on the basis of international financial reporting standards, thus represent approximately the fair value of the investee. Results on transactions involving transfer of assets and liabilities between the company and its participating interests and mutually between participating interests are eliminated to the extent that these cannot be regarded as having been realised.
Participating interests with a negative net asset value are stated at zero. If the company fully or partially guarantees the debts of the relevant participating interest, or if it has the constructive obligation to enable the participating interest to pay its debts (for its share therein), then a provision is recognised accordingly. This provision is recognised primarily to the debit of the receivables on the respective participating interest and for the remainder presented under provisions for the part of the share of the losses incurred by the participating interest, or for the estimated payments by the company on behalf of these participating interests.
Participating interests where no significant influence is exercised are stated at the lower of cost or realisable value. In case of a firm intention to sell, then the participating interest is stated at the lower expected sales value.
Dividends are accounted for in the period in which they are declared. Interest income is recognised in the profit and loss account on an accrual basis, using the effective interest rate method. Any profit or loss is recognised under finance income or expenses.
For tangible and intangible fixed assets an assessment is made as of each balance sheet date as to whether there are indications that these assets are subject to impairment. If there are such indications, then the recoverable value of the asset is estimated. The recoverable value is the higher of the value in use and the net realisable value. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable value of an individual asset, then the recoverable value of the cash flow generating unit to which the asset belongs is estimated.
If the carrying value of an asset or a cash flow generating unit is higher than the recoverable value, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between the carrying value and the recoverable value. In case of an impairment loss of a cash flow generating unit, the loss is first allocated to goodwill that has been allocated to the cash flow generating unit. Any remaining loss is allocated to the other assets of the unit in proportion to their carrying values.
In addition, an assessment is made on each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an impairment loss that was recorded in previous years has decreased. If there is such indication, then the recoverable value of the related asset or cash flow generating unit is estimated.
Reversal of an impairment loss that was recorded in the past only takes place in case of a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable value since the recording of the last impairment loss. In such case, the carrying value of the asset (or cash flow generating unit) is increased up to the amount of the estimated recoverable value, but not higher than the carrying value that would have applied (after depreciation) if no impairment loss had been recorded in prior years for the asset (or cash flow generating unit).
An impairment loss for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period, unless the previous impairment loss was caused by an extraordinary specific external event that is not expected to recur and if there are successive external events that undo the effect of the earlier event.
As a departure from the above, on each balance sheet date the recoverable value is determined for the following assets (regardless of whether there are indications of impairment):
Receivables are measured at initial recognition at fair value, plus transaction costs (if material). After initial recognition, the assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less a provision for uncollectible debts. These provisions are determined by individual assessment of the receivables.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
Financial instruments taking the legal form of shareholders' equity instruments are presented under shareholders' equity. Distributions to the holders of these instruments are deducted from shareholders' equity after deduction of any related benefit related to tax on profit.
Financial instruments taking the legal form of a financial obligation are presented under loan capital. Interest, dividends, income and expenses related to these financial instruments are taken to the profit and loss account.
The share of the result of participating interests where significant influence is exercised on the business and financial policy consists of the company's share of the result of these participating interests, determined on the basis of the accounting principles of the company.
Results on transactions, with assets and liabilities being transferred between the company and the participating interests and between participating interests themselves, are not recognised as they can be deemed unrealised.
The results of participating interests acquired or sold during the financial year are stated in the company's result from the relevant acquisition date or disposal date.
Where no significant influence is exercised on the business and financial policy, dividend is accounted for in the profit and loss account as income from participating interests under finance income and expenses.
The company is the head of the group and has the capital interests listed below. Shareholders' equity and the result of the relevant interest are also stated in accordance with the latest adopted financial statements:
