The revenue from sales in residential units increased by PLN 38.7 million (28%) from PLN 137.7 million during the six months ended 30 June 2022 to PLN 176.4 million during the six months ended 30 June 2023, which is explained by higher amount of units delivered – 383 units delivered to the customers during the six months ended 30 June 2023, comparing to the 339 units delivered during the six months ended 30 June 2022 (in terms of project 100% owned by the Group), as well as increase in sale prices over the period
Cost of sales of residential units increased by PLN 14.2 million (13%) from PLN 106.1 million during the six months ended 30 June 2022 to PLN 120.3 million during the six months ended 30 June 2023. The increase relates to a higher amount of delivered units in projects fully owned by the Group from 339 units during the six months ended 30 June 2022 compared to 383 units delivered to customers during the six months ended 30 June 2023.
The gross margin from sales of residential units during the six months ended 30 June 2023 was 31.8% which increased comparing to 23.0% during the six months ended 30 June 2022. The change in gross margin relates to a different mix of projects delivered to the customers characterized by a different profitability during the six months ended 30 June 2023 compared to the mix of projects delivered to customers during the six months ended 30 June 2022.
During six months ended 30 June 2023 the projects that significantly impacted revenues and profitability of the Group were Miasto Moje VI, Ursus Centralny IIb and Viva Jagodno IIb (contributed respectively PLN 21.1 million, PLN 21.8 million and PLN 7.0 million to the gross profit representing a gross margin of 33.5%, 36.2% and 38.6%).
During six months ended 30 June 2022 the projects that significantly impacted revenues and profitability of the Group were Ursus Centralny IIa, Nowe Warzymice II and Miasto Moje IV (contributed respectively PLN 19.8 million, PLN 5.4 million and PLN 4.1 million to the gross profit representing a gross profit margin of 24.2%, 27.9% and 24.4%).
Selling and marketing expenses increased by PLN 1.3 million (77%) from PLN 1.7 million during the six months ended 30 June 2022 to PLN 3 million during the six months ended 30 June 2023, is reflecting the higher invested marketing resources in the company running projects and opening new stages in ongoing projects, in order to achieve higher sales. As a result higher number of units sold during the reporting period, increase of 132% (494 units sold during the period ended 30 June 2023 comparing to 213 units sold during the period ended 30 June 2022).
Administrative expenses increased by PLN 0.4 million (3%) from PLN 12.9 million in the period ended 30 June 2022 to PLN 13.3 million ended 30 June 2023, which is primarily explained by increase in remuneration costs, and increase in taxes and charges due to non-deductible VAT costs, property taxed and perpetual usufruct fees on project completed.
Finance income and expenses are accrued and capitalized as part of the cost price of inventory to the extent that is directly attributable to the construction of residential units. Unallocated finance income/(expenses) not capitalized is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. In the six months period ended 30 June 2023 the Group recorded a net income on financial operations of PLN 0.6 million compared to a net expense of PLN 4.5 million in the corresponding period of 2022. This variation is mainly due to a net profit on fair value measurement of a financial instrument generated as well as a gain on foreign exchange rates totaling 6.4 million, compared to a loss of 3.0 million on this account in the corresponding period of 2022. For more information of Finance expenses that took place please see Note 17.
The following table presents selected details from the Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position in which material changes had occurred.
| As at 30 June 2023 |
As at 31 December 2022 |
|
|---|---|---|
| PLN (thousands) | ||
| Inventory and Residential landbank | 807,827 | 768,348 |
| Investment properties | 62,884 | 63,139 |
| Advances received | 181,624 | 139,911 |
| Loans, bonds and borrowings | 205,120 | 219,667 |
| Financial liability measured at FVPL | - | 70,506 |
| Liability to shareholder measured at amortized costs | 39,258 | - |
The value of inventories and residential landbank at 30 June 2023 amounted to PLN 807.8 million compared to PLN 768.3 million at 31 December 2022.The increase is mainly due to direct construction costs occurred in the total amount of PLN 132.9 million, transfer of land from land design for development PLN 9.2 million. This increase was partly offset by recognized costs of sales in the total amount of PLN 113.1 million
The balance of Investment properties is PLN 62.9 million as at 30 June 2023 compared to PLN 63.1 million as at 31 December 2022. The decrease is primarily explained by expenditures incurred mainly related to planning process of investments in the total amount of PLN 0.6 million and with a new valuation of real estate at ul. Gwiaździsta, where a company from the Group (Ronson Development Horizon) has offices for lease - a decrease in value by PLN 0.8 million. As at 30 June 2023 the balance consists of property held for long-term rental yields and capital appreciation as well as investment lands purchased to build investment property for long-term so-called institutional rental and capital appreciation.
The balance of advances received is PLN 181.6 million as at 30 June 2023 compared to PLN 139.9 million as at 31 December 2022. The increase is explained by advances received from clients regarding sales of units during the period ended 30 June 2023 for a total amount PLN 213.6 million which was offset by the revenues recognized from the sale of residential units for a total amount of PLN 176.4 million during the three months ended 30 June 2023.
The total of short-term and long-term loans and bonds is PLN 205.1 million as at 30 June 2023 compared to PLN 219.7 million as at 31 December 2022. The decrease in loans and bonds is primarily explained by change in bank loans of PLN 14.9 million (loans received and the use of credit lines in the amount of PLN 44.7 million with a simultaneous bank loans repayments of PLN 59.5 million and interests accrued of PLN 0.6 million). The level of debt from bond loans as at 30 June 2023 amounted to PLN 203.7 million, out of which an amount of PLN 105 million comprises facilities maturing no later than 30 June 2024. The balance of bond loans comprises of: principal amount of PLN 200.0 million plus accrued interest of PLN 5.0 million minus one-time costs directly attributed to the bond issuances which are amortized based on the effective interest method (PLN 1.3 million). For additional information see Note 15 of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On 1 February 2022 and 22 February 2022 the Company entered into 5 separate SAFE agreements with Israeli institutional investors ("SAFE Agreements") raising a total amount of ILS 60 million, equivalent of PLN 61.5 million in FVPL as at 25 May 2023 and equivalent of PLN 70.5 million in FVPL as at 31 December 2022.
On the 25 may 2023 the company and its main shareholder (Amos Luzon Development and Energy Group Ltd.) signed a settlement agreement which together with original SAFE Agreements resulted in derecognition of financial liability measured at FVPL.
Following to the signing of the SAFE settlement agreement by Ronson and Luzon with verbal consent of the Investors on 25 May 2023, Ronson recognized new financial liability at amortized cost from its shareholder and made partial repayment of the liability in the amount of PLN 25 million. For further information regarding the SAFE agreement as well as the settlement agreement and valuation method used please see Note 14 of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On the basis of the SAFE agreement, the Company undertook to return to Luzon Group the financing received from Investors in the total amount of ILS 60 million (sixty million Israeli shekels), to satisfy Luzon Group's claims against the Company under the SAFE Agreements and applicable Israeli law. Payments to Luzon Group in the total amount of PLN 25 million (approx. ILS 21.7 million) were made in May 2023 resulting in the balance of Liability to shareholder measured at amortized costs in amount of PLN 39.2 million. For more information please see Note 14 of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Group funds its day-to-day operations principally with funds generated from sales, as well as proceeds from loans and borrowings and bonds.

| For the period of six months ended 30 June |
|||

| Cash flow from/(used in) investing activities | 539 | (9,612) | |
| Cash flow (used in)/from financing activities | (41,133) | 27,922 |

The increase of PLN 156 million is primarily explained by:
The above mentioned positive effect on the operational cash flow was partly offset by:
The Company's net cash inflow used in investing activities amounted to PLN 0.54 million during the six months ended 30 June 2023 compared to net inflow from investing activities in comparative period in the amount of PLN 9.6 million. The increase of PLN 10.1 million is primarily explained by cash inflow due to dividends received from joint ventures in the total amount of PLN 1.1 million.

Due to the exceeding of the threshold 95% of shares owned by one shareholder, on 14 February 2022, the Company's shareholder, Amos Luzon Development and Energy Group Ltd., announced a request for a compulsory buyout of the Company's shares belonging to all its other shareholders. After the compulsory buyout (settlement was made on 17 February 2022), Luzon Group now holds (directly and indirectly), 100% of the share capital of the Company.

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 2023 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity or the Group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the significant judgments made by the Management Board in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in thousands of Polish Zloty ("PLN"), which is the functional currency of the Parent Company and the Group's presentation currency.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are accounted for at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
The Group's activities are not of a seasonal nature. Therefore, the results presented by the Group do not fluctuate significantly during the year due to the seasonality.
The details of the companies whose financial statements have been included in these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the year of incorporation and the percentage of ownership and voting rights directly held or indirectly by the Company, are presented below and on the following page.

The Group's operating segments are defined as separate entities developing particular residential projects, which for reporting purposes were aggregated. The aggregation for reporting purpose is based on geographical locations (Warsaw, Poznań, Wrocław and Szczecin) and type of development (apartments, of houses). Moreover, for particular assets the reporting was based on type of income: rental income from investment property or from socalled Private Rent Sector. The segment reporting method requires also the Company to present separately joint venture within Warsaw segment. There has been no changes in the basis of segmentation or in the basis of measurement of segment profit or loss from the last Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. There is no aggregation of the revenues to one Client, the revenue is distracted to many clients, mostly individual clients.
According to the Management Board's assessment, the operating segments identified have similar economic characteristics. Aggregation based on the type of development within the geographical location has been applied since primarily the location and the type of development determine the average margin that can be realized on each project and the project's risk factors. Considering the fact that the construction process for apartments is different from that for houses and considering the fact that the characteristics of customers buying apartments slightly differ from those of customers interested in buying houses, aggregation by type of development within the geographical location has been used for segment reporting and disclosure purposes.
Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated indirectly based on reasonable criteria. Unallocated assets comprise mainly fixed assets and income tax assets. Unallocated liabilities comprise mainly income tax liabilities, deferred tax liabilities, bond loans and financial liability measured at FVPL. The unallocated result (loss) comprises mainly head office expenses. IFRS adjustments represent the elimination of the Joint venture segment for reconciliation of the profit (loss), assets and liabilities to the consolidated numbers as well as the effect of measurement of liability at fair value. Joint ventures are accounted using the equity method.
The Group evaluates its performance on a segment basis mainly based on sale revenues, own cost of sales from residential projects and rental activity, allocated marketing costs and others operating costs/income assigned to each segment. Additionally the Group analyses the profit and gross margin on sales, as well as result before tax (including financial costs and income assigned to the segment) generated by the individual segments.
Data presented in the table below are aggregated by type of development within the geographical location:

As at 30 June 2023, the investment property balance included:
Investment properties and investment properties under construction are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs.
At the end of each reporting period, the Management Board conducts an assessment of the fair value of each property, taking into account the most up-to-date appraisals. Profits or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. The result on the valuation of investment properties is presented in the increase/ decrease in fair value of investment property.
The Management Board determines the value of the property within the range of reasonable estimates of the fair value. The best evidence to determine the fair value is the current prices of similar properties in an active market.
In the absence of such information, management analyzes information from various sources, including:
All fair value estimates of real estate determined in this way, except for investment land, are included in level 3. In this method, the key input data are prices per square meter of comparable (in terms of location and size) plots in the same region obtained in sales transactions in the current year (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The unobservable input data on the Level 3 was average period of comparable transactions. For the comparison approach the external appraiser used the transactions from the period 2021-2023 to perform the valuation.

On 25 May, 2023, the Company and Luzon Group entered into an agreement for settling the return of the amounts received related to the SAFE Agreements and releasing the Company from its obligation towered the SAFE Investors.
Conclusion of this agreement results from the fact that the Company has decided that within the period specified in the SAFE Agreements it will not apply for admission of the Company's shares to trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. On the basis of the agreement, the Company undertook to return to Luzon Group the financing received from Investors under the SAFE Agreements in the total amount of ILS 60 million (sixty million Israeli shekels), to satisfy Luzon Group's claims against the Company under the SAFE Agreements and applicable Israeli law. Payments to Luzon Group in the total amount of PLN 25 million (approx. ILS 21.7 million) were made in May 2023, and subsequent payments will be made in accordance with the schedule agreed by the parties to the agreement, determined taking into account the capital needs of Luzon Group and the liquidity and financial situation of the Company, with the provision that these payments will become due no earlier than 1 January, 2024, and the total amount of payments to Luzon Group in 2024 will not exceed PLN 25 million (approx. ILS 22 million) and the remaining amount will be repaid in 2025. Based on the Company's Management judgment, it was concluded th signing of the agreement of May 25, 2023 resulted in the extinguishments of the liability to investors and the recognition of a new liability to Luzon Group, which was recognized as a financial liability measured at amortized cost with a discounted cash flow rate of 7,14% per annum.
The table below presents the movement on the new liability to Luzon Group for the period from May 25, 2023 to the end of the reporting period, i.e. June 30, 2023:
| Investor | Liability at amortized cost [in PLN] |

The difference between the fair value of the financial liability to investors, which was derecognized, and the fair value of the new liability to Luzon Group as at the date of recognition (25 May 2023), resulted in a financial cost of PLN 2.6 million, recognized in the income statement under Gain/(loss) on a financial instrument measured at fair value through profit and loss, resulting from a change in the discount rate depending on the interest rate on Luzon bonds groups. The Company points out that the financing granted under the SAFE Agreements has been classified in the financial statements as a financial liability of the Company since it was obtained.
As at 25 May 2023, the fair value of the liability towards SAFE Investors was 54,601 thousand Israeli shekels (PLN 61,524 thousand) assuming market conditions of the transaction as at the valuation date with a discounted rate of 9,3% per annum. At the moment of derecognition of liabilities to investors, gain on fair value measurement in the amount of PLN 8.9 million was recognized in the income statement in line gain(loss) in fair value of financial instrument at fair value through profit and loss, no value was recognized in other comprehensive income.
On July 7, 2023, the Company and Luzon Group signed an annex to the above agreement, on the basis of which, after carrying out transfer pricing analyses, they agreed that the remaining amount to be repaid would bear interest at 3% per annum. Interests were already considered in initial recognition of liability towards Luzon. The value of the liability does not differ significantly from the value measured at fair value.
On 1 February 2022 and 22 February 2022 the Company entered into 5 separate SAFE agreements with Israeli institutional investors ("SAFE Agreements") raising a total amount of ILS 60 million, equivalent of PLN 61.5 million in FVPL as at 25 May 2023 and equivalent of PLN 70.5 million in FVPL as at 31 December 2022. On the 25 may 2023 the company and its main shareholder (Amos Luzon Development and Energy Group Ltd.) signed a settlement agreement which together with original SAFE Agreements resulted in derecognition of financial liability measured at FVPL, please refer to note 14 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The SAFE Agreements granted the Investors certain rights applicable after the Issuer is delisted from the regulated market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, including the right to subscribe for shares of the Company at a discounted price and for instruments convertible into shares in the Company, if the shares in the Company are admitted to trading on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange, secured by the right to convert their investments into shares or bonds of the Luzon Group if the shares in the Company were not admitted to trading on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange.
The above agreements do not impose any restrictive covenants or onerous undertakings on the part of the Group as well as it does not bear any interest.
The respective instrument should be classified as a financial liability because it includes the obligation to deliver cash to investors in the event of change of control and it includes a conversion option that does not meet the fixedfor-fixed criteria. The Group designated the financial liability as measured at FVPL entirely, on initial recognition. No amount was recognized through the other comprehensive income.
The table below presents payments made by Investors and the valuation of the financial liability as at the date of derecognition of the liability (May 25, 2023) and as at December 31, 2022:

The valuations of the SAFE agreements until 25 May 2023 was performed by external advisors Prometheus Financial Advisory, which specializes in financial accounting and complex financial instruments. The valuation of the instrument was determined in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Group Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, (the "AICPA Practice Aid") and according to the principles of valuation of equity securities of private companies issued as part of compensation. The assumptions used in the valuation model are based on the future expectations combined with the Group's management judgement. Numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of the ordinary shares as of the date of each option grant, including the following factors:
For valuation purposes, each of the SAFE agreements consists of two components: equity (assuming a public offering of the Company's shares in Israel and listing of the Company's shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (collectively, the "IPO")) and debt. As at the valuation date, i.e. May 25, 2023, the company's Management Board estimates that the probability of an IPO has decreased to 0% due to significant formal complications, in particular tax complications (the obligation to pay capital gains tax by investors; the obligation to pay dividend tax in Poland; registration for tax purposes in Poland and having a taxpayer number; submitting reports on your income on an annual basis) for potential shareholders purchasing the Company's shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
Accordingly, Group management does not envisage an IPO on the Israeli Stock Exchange before finding possible solutions to these issues. The valuation focused solely on the valuation of the debt component.
In order to estimate the fair value of SAFE at the date of derecognition of the liability, the investors' loss was reduced by the original amount of SAFE. This amount, which is reflected in the gain on fair value measurement of SAFE liabilities, amounted to PLN 6,376 thousand and was recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The main factor causing the change in the fair value of the financial liability was the change in the YTM of Luzon bonds (series 10) from 6.54% as at December 31, 2022 to 9.3% as at May 25, 2023.
The following table summarizes the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in level 3 fair value measurements:

Changes in the other factors do not materially affect the valuation, as it is linked to the observable transaction that was the transfer of cash by Investors.

Based on the conditions of bonds V and W transactions with related-parties (shareholders holding more than 25% of the shares in the Company "within the meaning of IAS 24 or with related parties "including with entities controlling the Company whether jointly or individually, whether directly or indirectly or with their subsidiaries which are not members of the Group) shall not exceed the aggregate amount of PLN 1.0 million during any given calendar year.
During the period ended 30 June 2023 and year ended 31 December 2022, the consulting fees related to A. Luzon Group amounted to PLN 420,7 thousand and PLN 900 thousand respectively.
Terms and conditions of issuance of Bonds of the Company ("T&C's") provide that only certain, specified types of financial indebtedness should be taken into account when determining the level of financial indebtedness for the purpose of calculating financial ratios in accordance with T&C's. In particular, certain T&C's require that financial indebtedness resulting from finance lease agreements (in Polish: umowy leasingu finansowego) should be included in calculation of the financial indebtedness. Those T&C's do not provide that the indebtedness resulting from finance lease agreements shall also include other financial indebtedness which is recognized as lease liability in accordance with IFRS 16.
Given the above, and taking into the account the type of activities carried out by the Group, despite changes in the IFRS in this respect, the Company concluded that inclusion of other type of financial indebtedness, in particular liabilities from annual fees for perpetual usufruct, for the purposes of calculations of financial ratios would not be in line with T&C's and therefore the Company does not include such finance lease alike items in such calculations.
For additional information about IFRS 16 see Note 13.

In the case of bank loans, the fair value does not differ significantly from the carrying amount because the interest payable on these liabilities is close to the current market rates or the liabilities are short-term. For unquoted financial instruments, the discounted cash flow model was used and classified to the second level of the fair value hierarchy.
All credit bank loans are secured. For additional information about unutilized credit loans see Note 22. The bank loans are presented as short-term due to the fact that those are the credit lines used by the Group and repaid during normal course of business (up to 12 months).

This balance sheet item is closely dependent over time on the relationship between the sales rate (which as it increases, increases this item) and the deliveries rate (which as it decreases, decreases this item).

In a letter dated 19 November 2021 the State Treasury (Skarb Państwa) – President of the Capital City of Warsaw notified Ronson Development sp. z o.o. – Ursus Centralny Sp. k. ("the Ursus Centralny Company") on the termination of the annual fee for perpetual usufruct of land owned by the State Treasury, located in Warsaw at 6 and 6A Taylor st. The Ursus Centralny Company received a decision to pay the annual fee in the new amount from 1 January 2022, i.e .:
The Ursus Centralny Company submitted an application to the Local Government Boards of Appeal (Samorządowe Kolegium Odwoławcze) in Warsaw for a determination that the increase in the fee for perpetual usufruct was unjustified.
On 7 April 2022, the Local Government Boards of Appeal in Warsaw received a letter from the State Treasury – the President of the Capital City of Warsaw, which showed that there was no possibility of reaching a settlement in the above case.
On 1 July 2022 the Ursus Centralny Company received a judgment of 25 May 2022 from the Local Government Boards of Appeal dismissing the company's application. Therefore, on 13 July 2022, the Ursus Centralny Company submitted an objection to the District Court in Warsaw.
It should be emphasized that, already after the President of the City of Warsaw terminated the amount of the annual fee for perpetual usufruct of the real estate constituting plot of land No. 98/2 within precinct 1465128.2 09-09 of the total area of 65,198 m2 (hereinafter: "Property"), which was made by letter dated 19 November 2021, the Property was divided on the basis of division decision No. 335/2022 dated 22.07.2022. By the decision in question the Property was divided into investment plots Nos. 98/7, 98/8, 98/9, 98/10 and 98/11, a plot designated for a city square No. 98/14 as well as plots designated for public roads marked with Nos. 98/12, 98/13 and 98/15. Thus, on the day on which the above-mentioned division decision became final (i.e. on 1.09.2022) three above-mentioned road plots with a total area of 15,140 m2 became the ownership of the City of Warsaw, which means that the area of the property covered by the administrative procedure described above was reduced. The above means that if the Company's objection against the decision of the Local Government Board of Appeal in Warsaw of May 25, 2022 is dismissed, the perpetual usufruct fee in the new, increased amount will be calculated on the entire area of the Property for the period from 1.01.2022 to 1.09.2022, while from 2.09.2022 it will be calculated from the area reduced as a result of the above division.
In addition, as of 28 October 2022, the perpetual usufruct right of the newly separated investment plot marked with No. 98/7 with an area of 8,686 m2 developed with residential buildings was transformed into ownership, which will also affect the amount of the perpetual usufruct fee calculated after 28 October 2022.
Furthermore, on the basis of the agreement concluded between the Company and the State Treasury on 27.10.2022, Rep. A. 16373/2022, on change of the purpose of perpetual usufruct of a part of the property, it was established that with regard to real estate constituting plots No. 98/8 (with an area of 7,441 m2), 98/9 (with an area of 7,062 m2) and 98/10 (with an area of 9,880 m2), the annual fee rate for perpetual usufruct of land will be, starting from 1 January 2023, 1% in accordance with Article 73(2f) and Article 72(3)(4) of the Real Estate Management Act.
The resolution of this case is not expected in 2023 and as a result any assessment of the outcome of this case cannot be reliable enough at this stage. However, considering progress in changing the condition of the land and current market practices in similar cases, the Group decided to reassessed lease liability and asset from right of use, which resulted in recognition of additional right of use assets related to inventory and the lease liabilities for perpetual usufruct right related to inventory amounted to PLN 13,916 thousand.
In case the litigation would be lost in the court, the result would affect the value of the right of use asset related to inventory and lease liabilities related to inventory.
On 3 February 2023, in the case against Ronson Development Sp. z o. o. – Estate Sp. k., a subsidiary of the Company which ran the Galileo development project (the "Galileo Company"), a judgment was issued obliging the Galileo Company to pay the plaintiff (the buyer of the premises in this project) the amount of PLN 80,000 with statutory interest from the date of filing the lawsuit (May 28, 2013) as a reduction in the price of the premises due to its defects. The judgment was issued by the court of second instance and is final and has been executed. In connection with its issuance, the Company decided to create a provision for other similar cases in the total amount of PLN 2.1 million as at 31 December 2022 and from which an amount of PLN 535 thousand was released in Q2 2023.
In the first quarter of 2023 the Company entered into settlements in three cases whereby the price reduction claims were paid and the parties agreed to enter into court settlements whereby the actions would be withdrawn. Moreover Galileo is a defendant in 7 similar cases that are being considered by the court of first instance.
At the same time, Galileo is the plaintiff in the case against Eiffage Polska Budownictwo S.A. the general contractor of the Galileo development project ("Eiffage"), its insurer and other entities involved in the implementation of the investment and their insurers, the subject of which is recognition of the liability of Eiffage and others for damage to the Galileo Company related to the improper implementation of this project and compensation. In addition, Galileo has already obtained partial compensation from the designers and their insurer for the damage caused during the construction of this project.
In January 2023, the Ronson Group companies issued calls for payment to several affiliated companies that were sellers (or otherwise involved in the sale) for the return of the deposit paid or double the amount paid, for the return of the loan granted, for the return of the remainder of the deposit and for the payment of compensation for the sale of real estate with a contractual mortgage registered in section IV of the real estate register:
The demands for payment also included calls for payment of contractual or statutory interest for late payment or reservation of the right to pursue payment of these amounts, together with court and enforcement costs, in court proceedings and information on the possibility of using the collateral established in the event of non-payment by the set deadline.
In connection with the non-payment of the above amounts, these companies proceeded to pursue their claims through court proceedings (on the basis of enforcement titles obtained) and enforcement proceedings:
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of risks: Global risks (Effect of the War Conflict ), Market risks and Financial risk factors (currency risk, liquidity risk, fair value measurement risk, interest rate risk). The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The Management Board reviews and updates policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarized below. The Group also monitors the market price risk arising from all financial instruments.
The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge currency or interest rate risks arising from the Group's operations and its sources of finance. Throughout the year ended 31 December 2022, which continued into the period ended 30 June 2023, the Group's policy was not to trade in (derivative) financial instruments.
The Group's principal financial instruments comprise cash balances, other current financial assets, loans granted to JVs and third parties, bank loans, bonds, financial instruments measured at amortized cost, trade receivables and trade payables. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to manage the Group's liquidity and to raise finance for the Group's operations.
In terms of risks specific for the sector, in which the Group operates, there is a potential increase in construction costs, a significant increase in interest rates, the challenge of securing lands for reasonable prices which can lead to the significant negative impact on the margins of new phases and projects, a prolongation of administrative procedures as well as an increasing competition in the market are considered to be the most significant uncertainties for the financial period ending 30 June 2023.
In 2022 the global economy was weakened by disruptions in trade regarding the prices of food and fuels, resulting from the ongoing war in Ukraine. In the second half of 2022, activity in the eurozone deteriorated due to disrupted supply chains, increased financial stress and a decline in consumer and business index confidence.
The trend of rising global oil, gas and coal prices, observable since early 2021, increased sharply after Russia's invasion of Ukraine due to sanctions imposed on Russia, causing inflation to rise to levels not seen in decades in Europe.
According to a recent update to a World Bank publication, Poland's economic growth in 2023 is expected to slow more than initially thought, as the ongoing war in Ukraine has dimmed prospects for a post-pandemic recovery in Europe.
In 2022 the war in Ukraine was a key factor affecting the Polish economy. It caused the rise in inflation, especially related to the rise in prices of energy and food. The level of inflation in Poland is currently one of the highest in Europe. The Polish government's decision to completely abandon the import of Russian energy resources by the end of 2022 has also influenced activities related to acquiring new sources of supply, which is particularly true of coal, and the intensification of investments aimed at energy diversification.
In an effort to stem rising inflation, the Monetary Policy Council of the National Bank of Poland (NBP) in September 2022 raised benchmark interest rates for the eleventh consecutive year, resulting in a huge increase in loan instalments for borrowers and consequently worsening the situation of many households. A raise in interest rates has had negative consequences for the Issuer's Group in the form of higher interest expenses on the debt held - financial costs in the first half of 2023 amounted to PLN 9.6 million, as compared to PLN 3.6 million in (including costs capitalized in stock) in the first half of 2022.
The creditworthiness of Poles has also decreased, and consequently the number of newly taken out loans has fallen. This cause a significant slowdown at the real estate market. At the same time, in terms of the housing market, the Company noted a significant trend of cash buyers outnumbering those using mortgages, resulting in a significant decline in the number of units sold by the Issuer observed since the beginning of 2022 (-50% y/y in the entire 2022).
In addition, as a consequence of the armed conflict in Ukraine, supply chains for materials from Eastern markets have been disrupted, and the need for workers at construction sites has also increased due to the exodus of workers from Ukraine. The Group has observed the above situation on the investment projects carried out by the Company, but none of the projects has seen a significant delay in schedule to the Prospectus Date.
It should be recognized that due to the growing geopolitical and economic risks, the war conflict in Ukraine will continue to intensify factors such as high inflation, increased construction costs and more restrictive financing policies for new investment projects and mortgages.
On the other hand, according to the Management Board's observation, during the first half of 2023 , the market situation started to change and gradual decrease in interest rates was observed, together with the Polish government lunching the 2% loan plan, sales have picked up to a levels which doubled the amount of sales in the same period in year 2022.
The Group monitors the situation on an ongoing basis to assess its impact on its business operations. As part of its strategy, the Group will evaluate its currently planned projects and initiate projects that have the best chance of success in the near future as well as the Group is making greater efforts to secure project implementation with bank financing to mitigate the impact of this crisis on the Group's operations as much as possible.
Significance of the above risk factor is assessed by the Issuer as high, because its occurrence has had a significant, negative impact on business activity and financial situation of the Issuer and may have such negative impact in the future. The Issuer estimates the probability of occurrence of this risk as high. A similar situation with an armed conflict did not occur in the past, or the scale of the impact of other armed conflicts did not have a significant influence on the operations of the Issuer and its Group.
According to the Statistical office of Poland (GUS) consumer prices in June 2023, compared with the corresponding month of the previous year, increased by 11.5% and the main factors influencing the high inflation rate is the increase in the prices of goods - by 11.4% and services - by 11.7%. Compared to the previous month, the prices of goods and services remained at the same level (of which goods and services decreased by 0.2%, and services prices increased by 0.6%).
The inflation growth and with it the interbank interest growth affects the polish economy in many aspects and the real estate residential sector in the following:
In the First half of 2023, there was an increase in sales in the six largest cities by 64% comparing to previous Year and as much as 36% increase comparing to the same period in 2022.
The increase in sales is mainly due to a concern by apartment buyers for potential increase in sale prices of apartments mainly due to increase of demand of buyers applying the 2% loans plan initiated by the government starting from the year 2023.
Additionally, the increase of credit demand due to slight decrease in the banks prudential buffer from 5% to 2.5% for loans with periodically fixed rates as well as taking advantage of the opportunity to expand individual investors portfolio of apartments before the entry of new regulations limiting the purchase of more units.
The Management Board understand that the inflation process and its stabilization is a long process that may take significant efforts and time and is continuing monitoring the situation, and adopt further actions, if necessary, in order to reduce as much as it possible the effect of the inflation and interest rates increase on the Company's operations and strategy.
Despite of the above results the significance of the above risk factor is assessed by the Company as high, because its occurrence has had a significant, negative impact on business activity and financial situation of the Company and may have such negative impact in the future. The Company estimates the probability of occurrence of this risk as high.
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of construction costs risks such as construction cost increase risk, row material cost increase, shortage of qualified workforce, increase in labor costs and delay in obtaining the necessary permits to start construction.
The construction costs have significantly risen within the last two years, reaching its peak in the second half of 2022. There is a high risk that the construction costs may still rise in 2023. The increase so far has been mainly due to rising prices of construction materials and energy, which has translated directly and indirectly into production costs, in addition to the continuation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict causing energy prices to rise across Europe and shortages of construction workers.
The Company and the Group do not conduct construction business, however, for each project an agreement with an external general contractor is concluded. The general contractor is responsible for the construction works and completion of the project, including obtaining all permits necessary for safe use of the residential units.
Significance of the above risk factor is assessed by the Issuer as high, because its occurrence has had a significant, negative impact on business activity and financial situation of the Issuer and may have such negative impact in the future. The Issuer estimates the probability of occurrence of this risk as high.
The risk related to improper performance of the agreement by the general contractor may cause delays in the project or have a significant impact on the Company's and Group's operations, financial conditions, or results. The Company sees potential sources of improper performance of the obligations by the general contractor in a lack of access to qualified workforce, increase in salaries/wages, costs of construction materials and increase in energy prices.
Improper performance of the agreement may result in claims against the general contractor, and the general contractor may not be able to satisfy the claims of the Company and Group. An important criterion in selecting a general contractor is its experience, professionalism and financial situation (including bank or insurance guarantees), as well as the quality of the insurance policy to cover all risks associated with the construction process.
The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all risk management information and disclosures related to the above subject required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 (Note 31). There have been no changes in the risk management measurements and risk management performed by the Company's Management since year end.
The development activities that the Company and the Group are engaged in require significant initial expenditures to purchase land and cover construction, infrastructure and project costs. Therefore, the Company and Group need substantial funds to continue to develop its business, and these needs are satisfied with external financing obtained from the banks and issue of bonds. The Company's and the Group's ability to raise such financing depends on a number of factors, particularly market conditions that are beyond the Company's and the Group's control. In case of difficulties in obtaining financing, the scale of Company's and Group's development and achievement of strategic objectives may differ from initial assumptions. It is uncertain whether the Company and the Group will be able to obtain the required financing, or whether the funds will be obtained on terms favourable to the Company and the Group. The Group constantly looks for other opportunities to obtain funds which will ensure necessary financing and their favourable conditions.
Significance of the above risk factor is defined by the Issuer as medium, because in the event of its occurrence, the scale of the negative impact on business activity and financial situation of the Issuer could be significant. The Issuer estimates the probability of occurrence of this risk as medium.
At the end of 2021 the Group decided to start its business activities in the Private Rented Sector – PRS. This segment has been identified as a promising and complementary one for the Group's residential business. Despite many years of business experience in the housing market, starting business in a new segment involves a number of financial, legal and image risks (including an increase in capital commitment, an increase in the level of debt, a reduction in flexibility in responding to market signals, a reduction in the competitiveness of a given company, the risk of underperformance compared to predictions, the risk of negative PR) that may arise during its operation. Despite analyses conducted in advance confirming the profitability of investments, the results of such projects may differ from the original assumptions and may adversely affect the Issuer's operations and financial position.
As at 30.06.2023, the carrying amount of land held for development in the PRS segment was PLN 54 million, representing approximately 5% of the Group's assets.
As the activities of the PRS segment are complementary to the Group's core business, the risk of lack of success in this segment will not significantly affect the Issuer's financial position. If there is no success in the rental area, the completed units will mostly be able to be sold by the Group on the market as ordinary flats. The above risk factor has not materialized in the past.
Significance of the above risk factor is assessed by the Issuer as low, because in the event of its occurrence, the negative impact on business activity and financial situation of the Issuer would not be significant. The Issuer assesses the probability of this risk as low.
During the year 2023 several changes in the polish legislation in particularly: contemplated deletion of open escrow accounts as well as introduction of compulsory contributions to the developer guarantee fund starting from 1 July 2022, the new construction law and the new local regulations related to road and infrastructure participation costs, constitute a risk that could directly or indirectly affect the Company's and the Group's activities and results.
The Management Board is in the opinion, that the introduction of such changes might have a negative impact on the Group's activities. In spite of that and taking under consideration the Company and the Group long-term experience in the market, its ability to adjust quickly to the new market conditions, its financial situation and its reputation in the market the Management Board is in the opinion that these changes are of a lesser extent than on other market operators.
The Polish legislation environment is characterized in frequent amendments, incoherence, lack of unified interpretation of legislation and tax legislations which are subject to frequent changes all which is contributing to the risks factors in which the Company and the Group operate.
Changes accrued during the reporting period or after the reporting date:
On 07 July 2023, an amendment to the Law on Planning and Spatial Development was enacted, revolutionizing the Polish legal order in this area.
Among the most important changes introduced to the Act, one should point out:
The existing local plans will remain in force until the date of entry into force of the new plans and can be amended on the basis of the new regulations. At the same time, in principle, the adoption of new local plans will be suspended until the general plan is adopted. If the general plan has not been adopted by 31 December 2025, it will not be possible to obtain a zoning decision from 1 January 2026 until the general plan of the municipality has been adopted. Investments will only be possible on the basis of decisions that have been issued previously or on the basis of existing local plans.
In the opinion of the Company, it should be assumed that the entry into force of the above-mentioned of the provisions will significantly extend the waiting time for the issuance of a decision on development conditions, and after December 31, 2025, it will not be possible to implement the investment on real estate located in an area not covered by either the local plan or the general plan.
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks such as currency risk, liquidity risk, fair value measurement risk and interest rate risk..
The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 (Note 31). There have been no changes in the risk management measurements performed by the Company since year end or in any risk management policies
Entities within the Group are exposed to foreign exchange risk in relation to receivables, payables and financial instrument measured trough profit and loss denominated in currencies other than the Polish zloty.
The Group does not hedge its investments or liabilities in foreign operations.
The Group's functional currency is polish zloty, as at 30 June 2023 the group has a monetary liabilities to the shareholder measured at amortized costs evaluated in the amount of 39.2 million PLN (2022: PLN 70.5 million, measured in previous period at fair value through profit or loss which is evaluated every reporting period by independent valuator). For more information see Note 14.
As at 30th June 2023, if the Israeli ILS had weakened or strength by 5% against the Polish zloty with all other variables held constant, the profit/Loss attributable to shareholders of the Group would have been PLN 1.9 million (as at 31 December 2022: 3.5 million) higher/lower, arising from foreign exchange gains/Loss taken to the profit and loss account on translation. The sensitivity analysis ignores any offsetting foreign exchange factors and has been determined assuming that the change in foreign exchange rates had occurred at the balance sheet date. There are no other significant monetary balances held by Group entities at 30 June 2023 that are denominated in a non-functional currency and have material effect on the Group results .
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.
The Group is exposed to liquidity risk as a result of mismatching maturity of assets and liabilities.
The Group monitors its risk to a shortage of funds using a recurring liquidity planning tool. This tool considers the maturity of both its financial investments and financial assets (e.g. accounts receivable, other financial assets) and projected cash flows from operations. The Group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans, bond loans and financing from shareholders measured at amortized costs (SAFE Agreement).
The Group constantly looks for other opportunities to obtain funds which will ensure necessary financing and their favorable conditions.
The significance of the above risk factor is defined by the Company as medium, because in the event of its occurrence, the scale of the negative impact on business activity and financial situation of the Company could be significant. The Company estimates the probability of occurrence of this risk as medium.
The Investment properties and financial liabilities are valued at fair value determined by an independent appraiser (please refer to Note 10 and Note 14). During the six months ended 30 June 2023 there were no other significant changes in the business or economic circumstances that affect the fair value of the Group's financial assets, investment property and financial liabilities.
The vast majority of loans and bonds (including under issued bonds) obtained by the Group bear interest at a floating rate based on WIBOR plus a margin. As of June 30, 2023, the WIBOR6M was 6.95% (as of December 31, 2022, it was 7.14%). The Company's bonds are based on WIBOR6M plus a margin, while bank loans are based on WIBOR3M or WIBOR1M plus a margin. Changes in the WIBOR rate will have a significant impact on the Group's cash flow and profitability.
The table below presents the sensitivity analysis and its impact on net assets and income statement assuming if the variable interest rate changes by 1% assuming that all other variables remain unchanged:

| Total | (1,169) | 1,169 | (1,700) | 1,700 |
Short-term receivables and payables are not exposed to interest rate risk.
In the Company's operations to date, the above risk has materialized, as the bonds issued so far by the Company have borne floating interest rate. Significance of the above risk factor is assessed by the Company as medium. The Company estimates the probability of occurrence of this risk as high.
All the above changes and lack of unified judicial decision can have negative consequences on the Group's business, its performance, its financial standing and the development prospects.
The above changes demonstrates the dynamic environment in which the Group operates and as such requiring in some cases quick response in order to adjust its activity accordingly.
In the Company's operations to date, the above risk has not materialized, as the company land bank in all cases has valid planing conditions or master plan which are allready approved or even in process of obtaining building permits. The significance of the above risk factor is assessed by the Company as medium to low. The Issuer estimates the probability of occurrence of this risk as high.
The Management Board will continue monitoring the above mentioned issues on an on-going basis, and adopt further actions, if necessary, in order to minimize as much as it is possible their impact on the Group operations.
On 25 May, 2023, the Company and Luzon Group entered into an agreement for settling the return of the amounts received related to the SAFE Agreements and releasing the Company from its obligation towered the SAFE investors.
The SAFE Agreements granted the Investors certain rights applicable after the Issuer is delisted from the regulated market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, including the right to subscribe for shares of the Company at a discounted price and for instruments convertible into shares in the Company, if the shares in the Company are admitted to trading on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange, secured by the right to convert their investments into shares or bonds of the Luzon Group if the shares in the Company were not admitted to trading on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange.

64,372,242 | 25 maja 2023 | 25,000,000 | 131,508 | (245,544) | 39,258,206 | (708,683) | 729,455 |
The difference between the fair value of the financial liability to investors, which was derecognized, and the fair value of the new liability to Luzon Group as at the date of recognition (25 May 2023), resulted in a financial cost of PLN 2.6 million, recognized in the income statement under Gain/(loss) on a financial instrument measured at fair value through profit and loss, resulting from a change in the discount rate depending on the interest rate on Luzon bonds groups. The Company points out that the financing granted under the SAFE Agreements has been classified in the financial statements as a financial liability of the Company since it was obtained.
As at 25 May 2023, the fair value of the liability towards SAFE Investors was PLN 54,601 thousand Israeli shekels (PLN 61,524 thousand) assuming market conditions of the transaction as at the valuation date with a discounted rate of 9,3% per annum. At the moment of derecognition of liabilities to investors, gain on fair value measurement in the amount of PLN 8.9 million was recognized in the income statement in line gain(loss) in fair value of financial instrument at fair value through profit and loss, no value was recognized in other comprehensive income.
On July 7, 2023, the Company and Luzon Group signed an annex to the above agreement, on the basis of which, after carrying out transfer pricing analyses, they agreed that the remaining amount to be repaid would bear interest at 3% per annum. Interests were already considered in initial recognition of liability towards Luzon. The value of the liability does not differ significantly from the value measured at fair value.
On 1 February 2022 and 22 February 2022 the Company entered into 5 separate SAFE agreements with Israeli institutional investors ("SAFE Agreements") raising a total amount of ILS 60 million, equivalent of PLN 61.5 million in FVPL as at 25 May 2023 and equivalent of PLN 70.5 million in FVPL as at 31 December 2022. On the 25 may 2023 the company and its main shareholder (Amos Luzon Development and Energy Group Ltd.) signed a settlement agreement which together with original SAFE Agreements resulted in derecognition of financial liability measured at FVPL, please refer to note 14 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The SAFE Agreements granted the Investors certain rights applicable after the Issuer is delisted from the regulated market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, including the right to subscribe for shares of the Company at a discounted price and for instruments convertible into shares in the Company, if the shares in the Company are admitted to trading on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange, secured by the right to convert their investments into shares or bonds of the Luzon Group if the shares in the Company were not admitted to trading on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange.
The above agreements do not impose any restrictive covenants or onerous undertakings on the part of the Group as well as it does not bear any interest.
The respective instrument should be classified as a financial liability because it includes the obligation to deliver cash to investors in the event of change of control and it includes a conversion option that does not meet the fixedfor-fixed criteria. The Group designated the financial liability as measured at FVPL entirely, on initial recognition. No amount was recognized through the other comprehensive income.
The table below presents payments made by Investors and the valuation of the financial liability as at the date of derecognition of the liability (May 25, 2023) and as at December 31, 2022:

The valuations of the SAFE agreements until 25 May 2023 was performed by external advisors Prometheus Financial Advisory, which specializes in financial accounting and complex financial instruments. The valuation of the instrument was determined in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Group Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, (the "AICPA Practice Aid") and according to the principles of valuation of equity securities of private companies issued as part of compensation. The assumptions used in the valuation model are based on the future expectations combined with the Group's management judgement. Numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of the ordinary shares as of the date of each option grant, including the following factors:
d) the likelihood of a liquidity event for the ordinary shares underlying these options, such as an initial public offering or sale of the Group, given prevailing market conditions.
For valuation purposes, each of the SAFE agreements consists of two components: equity (assuming a public offering of the Company's shares in Israel and listing of the Company's shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (collectively, the "IPO")) and debt. As at the valuation date, i.e. May 25, 2023, the company's Management Board estimates that the probability of an IPO has decreased to 0% due to significant formal complications, in particular tax complications (the obligation to pay capital gains tax by investors; the obligation to pay dividend tax in Poland; registration for tax purposes in Poland and having a taxpayer number; submitting reports on your income on an annual basis) for potential shareholders purchasing the Company's shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
Accordingly, Group management does not envisage an IPO on the Israeli Stock Exchange before finding possible solutions to these issues. The valuation focused solely on the valuation of the debt component.
In order to estimate the fair value of SAFE at the date of derecognition of the liability, the investors' loss was reduced by the original amount of SAFE. This amount, which is reflected in the gain on fair value measurement of SAFE liabilities, amounted to PLN 6,376 thousand and was recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The main factor causing the change in the fair value of the financial liability was the change in the YTM of Luzon bonds (series 10) from 6.54% as at December 31, 2022 to 9.3% as at May 25, 2023.
The following table summarizes the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in level 3 fair value measurements:
| Fair Value as at | Range of input (probability weighted average) |
|||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Description | 25 May 2023 [PLN thousands] |
31 December 2022 [PLN thousands] |
Unobservable input | 25.05.2023 | 31.12.2022 | Relationship of unobservable inputs to fair value |
| Financial liability at fair value through profit or loss (SAFE agreement) |
61,524 | 70,506 | YTM (Yield to Maturity) discount rate |
3%-9.3% | 3%-6.54% | A shift of the YMT rate by +1 p.p. results in a lower value of 768 thousands PLN (2022: change in default rate by +1 p.p. decreased FV by PLN ('000) 1,168) A shift of the YMT rate by -1 p.p. results in a higher in value of 768 thousands PLN (2022: change in default rate by - 1 p.p. increased FV by PLN('000) 1,168) |
Changes in the other factors do not materially affect the valuation, as it is linked to the observable transaction that was the transfer of cash by Investors.
For further subsequent events, reference is made to Note 28 to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
