Luzon Group (which was established as part of the reorganization of A. Luzon Group's operations). As part of the restructuring, A. Luzon Group on 25 January 2024 disposed of all its shares in Luzon Ronson Properties Ltd. to Luzon Ronson N.V. (former name I.T.R. Dori B.V.).

The revenue from recognized sales in residential units decreased by PLN 43.0 million (13%) from PLN 318.9 million (665 units) during the nine months ended 30 September 2023 to PLN 275.9 million (454 units) during the nine months ended 30 September 2024, which is explained by lower number of units delivered in the reporting period compering to corresponding period in previous year. Additionally, the difference was partly off-set due to higher average price of 606.1 TPLN per unit delivered during the nine months ended 30 September 2024, comparing to the average price of 478.3 TPLN per unit delivered during the nine months ended 30 September 2023 (in terms of project 100% owned by the Group).
Cost of sales of residential units decreased by PLN 23.1 million (11%) from PLN 210.2 million during the nine months ended 30 September 2023 to PLN 187.1 million during the nine months ended 30 September 2024. The decrease relates to a lower number of units delivered till September 2024 compering to the corresponding period last year. Overall, the average development cost per unit had grown. In the reported period it amounted to 412.2 TPLN per unit in delivered units, in projects fully owned by the Group compering to 316.2 TPLN per unit delivered during the nine months ended 30 September 2023.
The gross margin from sales of residential units during the nine months ended 30 September 2024 was 32.2%, it decreased comparing to 34.1% during the nine months ended 30 September 2023. The change in gross margin relates to mix of projects delivered to the customers characterized by a different profitability during the nine months ended 30 September 2024 compared to the mix of projects delivered to customers during the nine months ended 30 September 2023.
During nine months ended 30 September 2024 the project that significantly impacted profitability of the Group were Ursus Centralny IIc, Osiedle Vola and Nowa Północ 1A which contributed respectively PLN 43.2 million, 19.6 million and 9.1 million representing a gross margin of 47.9%, 27.6% and 26.0% respectively.
Compering to the period ended 30 September 2023 the projects that significantly impacted profitability of the of the Group were Ursus Centralny IIb, Miasto Moje VI, Viva Jagodno IIb which contributed respectively PLN 39.1 million, PLN 31.6 million and PLN 20.1 million representing a gross margin of 36.5%, 35.6% and 39.6% respectively.
Selling and marketing expenses increased by PLN 1.1 million (26%) from PLN 4.2 million during the nine months ended 30 September 2023 to PLN 5.3 million during the nine months ended 30 September 2024. The rise is related to the increase in marketing services prices mainly outdoor advertising, rebranding of the Group and launching the sales of 7 new projects until September 2024 comparing to only 1 new project that started in 2023.
Administrative expenses increased by PLN 4.7 million (24%) from PLN 19.2 million in the period ended 30 September 2023 to PLN 23.9 million in the period ended 30 September 2024 which is primarily explained by increase in remuneration costs by 4.6 million PLN.
Finance 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 or financial expenses not capitalized, is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. In the nine months period ended 30 September 2024 the Group recorded a net expense on financial operations of PLN 5.7 million compared to a net expense of PLN 3.4 million in the corresponding period of 2023. This difference is mainly due to a prior's year net profit on fair value measurement of a financial instrument as well as a gain on foreign exchange rates totaling 6.4 million generated last year, compared to no impact of such measurement in the corresponding period of 2024. For more information about the Finance expenses that took place please see Note 15 of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The following table presents selected details from the Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position in which material changes had occurred.
| As at | As at | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 September 2024 | 31 December 2023 | |||
| PLN (thousands) | ||||
| Inventory and Residential landbank | 801 946 | 814 151 | ||
| Investment properties | 58 616 | 83 220 | ||
| Assets held for sale | 24 752 | - | ||
| Advances received | 287 260 | 234 175 | ||
| Loans, bonds and borrowings | 340 996 | 234 135 | ||
| Liability to shareholder measured at amortised cost | - | 25 593 |
The value of inventories and residential landbank on 30 September 2024 amounted to PLN 801.9 million compared to PLN 814.1 million as at 31 December 2023. The decrease was observed due to recognized costs of sales in the total amount of PLN 185.2 million, which was partially offset by direct construction costs occurred in 2024 in the total amount of PLN 173.2 million.
The balance of Investment properties is PLN 58.6 million as at 30 September 2024 compared to PLN 83.2 million as at 31 December 2023. The decrease is a result of reclassification of one of the investment property in the amount of PLN 24.2 million to assets held for sale (for additional information see Note 14). As at 30 September 2024 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 Assets held for sale is due to reclassification of one investment property which was designated for institutional rental, the sale of the assets was realized after the reporting period for more information see Note 17 for the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The balance of advances received is PLN 287.3 million as at 30 September 2024 compared to PLN 234.2 million as at 31 December 2023. The increase is explained by advances received from clients regarding sales of units during the period ended 30 September 2024 for a total amount PLN 329.3 million which was offset by the revenues recognized from the sale of residential units for a total amount of PLN 275.9 million during the nine months ended 30 September 2024.
The total of short-term and long-term loans and bonds is PLN 341 million as at 30 September 2024 compared to PLN 234.1 million as at 31 December 2023. The increase in loans and bonds is primarily explained by issuance of bonds series P2023A and series Y in the nominal amount of PLN 220.0 million and was offset by the repayment of bonds series V in the amount of 60.0 million and partial repayment of bonds series W in amount of 41.2 million.
The level of debt from bonds as at 30 September 2024 amounted to PLN 339.2 million, out of which an amount of PLN 58.8 million comprises facilities maturing no later than 31 December 2024. The balance of bonds comprises of principal amount of PLN 338.8 million plus accrued interest of PLN 5.1 million minus one-time costs directly attributed to the bond issuances which are amortized based on the effective interest method (PLN 4.7 million). For additional information see Note 16 of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On 25 May 2023, the Company and Luzon Group entered into an agreement for settling the return of the amounts received from Israeli Investors in 2022 related to the SAFE Agreements and releasing the Company from its obligation to the SAFE Investors.
On 14 March 2024, the Company and A. Luzon Group entered into an addendum to the aforementioned agreement dated 25 May 2023 on the SAFE Agreements. The addendum provided for a change in the payment schedule such that the remaining payments under the aforementioned agreement in the amount of approximately ILS 24.7 million would be paid on 2 April 2024, and upon payment, the Agreement would be executed and terminated. On 5 April 2024, the Company made the payment of the remaining liability balance amount. For more information, see Note 15 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, borrowings, and bonds.

| Cash flow from/(used in) investing activities | (689) | 381 | ||
| Cash flow (used in)/from financing activities | 27 801 | 32 741 |
The Company's positive net cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended 30 September 2024 amounted to PLN 75.2 million compared to positive net cash flows from these activities in the corresponding period ended 30 September 2023 of PLN 140.9 million. The decrease of PLN 65.7 million is primarily explained by:
The above mentioned negative effect on the operational cash flow was partly offset by:
The Company's net cash inflow from financing activities amounted to PLN 27.8 million during the nine months ended 30 September 2024 compared to a net cash inflow from financing activities amounted to PLN 32.7 million during the nine months ended 30 September 2023.
The Decrease of PLN 4.9 million is primarily explained by:

In each annual financial report published in the period from the date of issuance to the date of redemption of the bonds, the Company will be required to indicate and explain material differences between the published information on the forecast of the development of financial liabilities as of the last day of the fiscal year and the financial liabilities resulting from the books as of that date.

On 25 May 2023, the Company and Luzon Group entered into an agreement in respect of the SAFE Agreements to settle the reimbursement of amounts received from Israeli investors in 2022 under the SAFE Agreements and to release the Company from its obligation to those investors.
On 14 March 2024, the Company and A. Luzon Group entered into an addendum to the aforementioned agreement dated 25 May 2023. The addendum provided for a change in the payment schedule such that the remaining payments to be made under the aforementioned agreement in the amount of approximately ILS 24.7 million would be paid on 2 April 2024, and upon payment, the Agreement would be executed and terminated. On 5 April 2024, the subject payment was made by the Company.
During the period ended 30 September 2024, transactions and balances with related parties included: remuneration of the Management Board, loans to related parties within the Group and a consulting services agreement with A. Luzon Group, for a monthly amount of PLN 70 thousand (ended by the parties on January 31 2024), and a consulting services agreement with Luzon Ronson N.V. for a monthly amount of PLN 83 thousand, as well as payment of travel and out-of-pocket expenses. All transactions with related parties were carried out at arm's length. During the nine months ended 30 September 2024, the Group paid a total of PLN 734 thousand.
In addition, during the period ended 30 September 2024, the Group recognized income from one apartment sold in 2022 to a company owned by Mr. Andrzej Gutowski, Vice-President of the Company's Management Board, for a total net amount (excluding VAT) of PLN 295.4 thousand.

The transactions were made on an arm's length basis and in accordance with the Group's policy on transactions with related parties.
On 28 November 2022, A. Luzon Group announced a private issuance of options for shares of Amos Luzon Development and Energy Group Ltd. ("Options"). According to the allocation, Mr. Boaz Haim received 9 817 868 Options. Options were allotted free of charge.
Each Option entitles to one ordinary share of A. Luzon Group of ILS 0.01 par value, for an exercise price of 0.2 ILS (which however will be settled by Amos Luzon Development and Energy Group Ltd. on a net basis, i.e. final number of received shares will be decreased by a number of shares which market value is equal to full exercise price to be paid).
Mr. Boaz Haim will be entitled to exercise the Options as follows:
The Options can be exercised until the end of 7 years from the date of their allocation. Options that were not exercised within the above-mentioned period, expire. Assuming all the Options are exercised, Mr. Boaz Haim will hold c.a. 2.38% of the issued and paid-up capital of A. Luzon Group and about 1.89% of the issued and paid-up capital of A. Luzon Group on a full dilution basis. The Option program envisages adjustments in options for share allocation in case of various corporate events in A. Luzon Group (such as the issuance of shares or other options, merger, dividend distribution, etc.). The initial effect of the program was recognized in year 2023 in the amount of PLN 1.6 million and cost for nine months of year 2024 amounted to PLN 1.0 million. The program is accounted under IFRS 2 standard as an employee expense, part of administrative costs and share-based payment expense in equity. Total value of the program as of grant date amounted to PLN 4.7 million.
As a result of requirements pertaining to A. Luzon Group, the Company's controlling shareholder, whose ultimate parent company is listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, the first quarter reports, semi-annual reports and third quarter reports are subject to a full-scope review by the Company's auditors. For the Company itself, being domiciled in Poland, only the semi-annual and yearly report is subject to a review/audit.
As at 30 September 2024, the Company and the Group were not party to any individual proceedings before a court, arbitration body or public administration authority concerning liabilities or receivables whose value would exceed 10% of the Company's equity.
Nevertheless, Group companies are parties to various court proceedings as both defendants and plaintiffs - these are mainly disputes concerning premises sold, claims against general contractors and designers, as well as disputes related to the acquisition of certain land properties and proceedings for the disclosure of the debtor's assets. In particular:
The Company did not issue any guarantees during the nine months ended 30 September 2024.
The average number of personnel employed by the Group – on a fulltime equivalent basis – during the nine months ended 30 September 2024 was 69 during comparing to 65 in the same period of the year 2023. The Company itself did not and does not employ any employees.

This Management Board Report of activities of the Company and the Group during the nine months period ended 30 September 2024 was prepared and approved by the Management Board of the Company on 12 November 2024.

Except as described below, the accounting policies applied by the Company and the Group in these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
The following standards and amendments became effective as of 1 January 2024:
The impact of the above amendments and improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards was analyzed by the Management. Based on the assessment the amendments do not materially impact on the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group nor the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group.
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 2024 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. These standards, besides described below IFRS 18, 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.
IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements"- in April 2024, the IASB issued a new standard, IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements." The standard is intended to replace IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and will be effective as of 1 January 2027. Changes to the superseded standard mainly concern three issues: the statement of profit or loss, required disclosures for certain performance measures, and issues related to the aggregation and disaggregation of information contained in financial statements. The published standard will be effective for financial statements for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027.
As of the date of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the amendments have not yet been approved by the European Union. Based on the Management Board analysis above mentioned standard could have a substantial impact on the presentational aspect of the financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards 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 2023.
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 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. The segment reporting method requires also the Company to present separately joint venture within Warsaw segment. There have 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 concentration of the customers (i.e. the revenues from single customer does not exceed 10% of revenue), 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 of holding and financing company cash and cash equivalents, fixed assets and income tax assets. Unallocated liabilities comprise mainly income tax liabilities, deferred tax liabilities, bonds and financial liability measured at amortised cost. 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 amortised costs. 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.

As at 30 September 2024, the investment property balance included:
During the period ended 30 September 2024 the Group decided to reclassify investment property related to Wolska project to assets held for sale in amount of PLN 24.2 million. The subsequent sale took place as of 15 October 2024.
Investment properties and investment properties under construction are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs.
At the end of each reporting year, 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 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 based on above mentioned approach, except for investment land, are considered to be level 3. For land, the comparison method is being used, 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 the average period of comparable transactions. For the comparison approach the external appraiser used the transactions from the period 2022-2024 to perform the valuation.

The Head of the Customs and tax office ("UCS") claimed they found irregularities in Project 6's settlements in value added tax and questioned Project 6's right to deduct input VAT from invoices issued in connection with Project 6's acquisition of land property. In the opinion of the Head of the UCS, the inclusion by Project 6 of the invoices in question in the VAT purchase registers and then in VAT returns constitutes a breach of Article 88(3a)(4a) of the VAT Act (according to which issued invoices and customs documents do not constitute grounds for a reduction in output tax and a refund of the difference in tax or a refund of input tax in the event that they state activities which have not been carried out - in the part concerning these activities).

Pursuant to Terms and Conditions of Issue of Series W Bonds, transactions of purchase of services, products or assets from a shareholder of the Company holding more than 25 percent of the Company's shares or from a related entity (within the meaning of IAS 24, including an entity controlling the Company jointly or individually, in a direct or indirect manner) or from a subsidiary outside the Group, may not in total exceed PLN 1.0 million during a given calendar year.
Pursuant to the Terms and Conditions of Issue of the series X bonds, the series P2023A bonds, and the series Y bonds, transactions of purchase of services, products or assets from a shareholder of the Company holding more than 25 percent of the Company's shares (within the meaning of IAS 24) or from a related entity (including an entity controlling the Company jointly or individually, in a direct and indirect manner, the Company) or from its subsidiary outside the Group may not in total exceed the amount of PLN 2,0 million in any calendar year and, for the avoidance of doubt, the reimbursement of expenses incurred by such shareholder or entity in connection with the purchase of services, products or assets for the Group from third parties does not constitute an acquisition of such services, products or assets from such shareholder or entity.
During the period ended 30 September 2024 and period ended 30 September 2023, the consulting fees related to A. Luzon Group amounted to PLN 734 thousand and PLN 638 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 23. 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 from each tranche loan drawdown).

Payments from customers on account of the purchase of apartments and parking places are recorded as deferred income until the time that they are delivered to the buyer and are recognized in the income statement as "sales revenue". 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).

Ronson Development sp. z o.o. - Ursus Centralny sp.k. ('Ursus Centralny Company') is a party to court proceedings to determine the amount of the perpetual usufruct fee for the land owned by the State Treasury, located in Warsaw at 6, 6A Taylora Street. The Group treats this as a contingent liability.
In the court proceedings pending in the case, an expert property appraiser's opinion valuing the property at PLN 124,928,900.00 (in words: one hundred and twenty-four million, nine hundred and twenty-eight thousand, nine hundred zloty) was issued on 14 March 2024. The subject of the valuation was plot of land with registration number 98/2. The date on which the value and condition of the subject of the valuation was determined is 19 November 2021, i.e. the date on which the President of the Capital City of Warsaw gave notice of termination of the annual fee. The expert opinion is based on the comparative method and the indirect price adjustment method. Ursus Centralny Company raised objections to the expert opinion. As a result of the objections raised, the court issued an order on 16 May 2024 to admit evidence of a supplementary opinion to answer the questions raised in the objections. In the supplementary opinion, the expert did not address the objections to the opinion raised by the Ursus Central Company. Accordingly, Ursus Central Company filed objections to the expert's supplementary opinion. As a result of the objections filed to the supplementary opinion, the court set a hearing date for 28 January 2025, at which the expert is scheduled to be heard.
Adjudication is not expected in 2024, and it is difficult to assess the adjudication of the case itself at this stage.
From the analysis of the agreement on the change of perpetual usufruct for the plots of land currently marked with registration numbers: 98/7, 98/8, 98/9 and 225 (former 98/10), as well as the agreement on the future conclusion of a change of perpetual usufruct agreement for plot 226 (former 98/11), it follows that after the court proceedings on the perpetual usufruct fee are over, the Ursus Centralny Company will have to pay the difference between twice the fee established in a final court ruling or a concluded settlement agreement, with the fee already paid (amounting to twice the fee in effect before the termination).
This means that regardless of the amounts already paid as a result of the conclusion of the agreement to change the purpose of perpetual usufruct, Ursus Centralny Company will have to pay the difference calculated on the basis of the final decision, ending the pending proceedings.
However, taking into account the progress of the land change and current market practice in similar cases, the Group decided to reassess the right-of-use liability and asset, as a result of which additional right-of-use assets relating to inventory were recognized, and the right-of-use lease liabilities relating to inventory amounted to PLN 13,916 thousand and were recognized during the year ended 31 December 2023.
On 3 February 2023, in a case against Ronson Development Sp. z o.o. - Estate Sp. k., a subsidiary of the Company that operated the Galileo development project (the "Galileo Company"), a judgment was issued obligating the Galileo Company to pay the plaintiff (the purchaser of a unit in this project) the amount of PLN 80 thousand with statutory interest from the date of filing the lawsuit (May 28, 2013) as a reduction in the price of the unit 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 Galileo Company decided to establish a provision for other similar cases in the total amount of PLN 2.1 million, as of 31 December 2022, and from which the amount of PLN 535 thousand was released in the previous year. To date, the Galileo Company has reached settlements in four cases in which the price reduction claims have been paid, and the parties have agreed to enter into court settlements under which the lawsuits will be withdrawn.
At the same time, Galileo Company is a plaintiff in a case against Eiffage Polska Budownictwo S.A. the general contractor of the Galileo development project ("Eiffage"), its insurer and others involved in the development and their insurers, the subject of which is the recognition of the liability of Eiffage and others for Galileo Company's damages related to the improper implementation of the project and compensation. In addition, Galileo Company has already received partial compensation from the designers and their insurer for damage caused in the implementation of this project. The settlement of this litigation is not expected in 2024.
In the first quarter of 2024 two judgments have been issued in the first instance. The first one awards the plaintiff a total amount of 669,003.41 (six hundred and sixty-nine thousand three 41/100) with statutory interest for delay from the date of the summons for payment, which at the moment is close to the amount of the main claim. The case in which the verdict was issued is special in that it involved 4 units in the investment, owned by one person - hence the amount awarded by the Court is so high. Galileo Company plans to appeal the verdict.
The second judgment, handed down in the first quarter of 2024, dealt with the issue of the plaintiffs' exceeding the deadline for filing warranty claims, which, according to them, did not occur due to the concealment of defects. The court in the judgment dismissed the claim in its entirety. The claimants filed an appeal against the judgment. In the appeal, the plaintiffs raised new arguments regarding the basis of their claim, citing Galileo Company's contractual liability (Article 471 of the Civil Code). Up to now, the plaintiffs have indicated only warranty liability as the basis of their claim.
A response to the appeal has been filed in the case, in which, among other things, the plaintiffs' claim for contractual liability is alleged to be time-barred. An appeal hearing date has not yet been set. A similar state of facts as in this case is the subject of yet another proceeding before the court, with new arguments on the basis of the claim having been raised by the plaintiffs in a written closing statement prior to the first instance court's judgment.
During the year 2024 the Group did not use or create new provision in respect to this matter.
The remaining cases involving the Galileo Company remain pending before the court of first instance. Currently, Galileo Company is a participant in a total of 8 proceedings (of which 6 are in the court of first instance, 1 in the court of second instance and 1 before the Supreme Court).
Three Group companies, namely Ronson Development sp. z o.o. - Projekt 3 sp.k. ('Project 3'), Ronson Development SPV4 sp. z o. o. ('SPV4') and Ronson Development sp. z o.o. - Projekt 4 sp.k. ('Projekt 4') are several enforcement proceedings, against a group of several related companies that were sellers or otherwise involved in the sale of certain land properties. The claims of the Group companies are, in particular, claims for the return of down payments made or demands for payment of double the amount, claims for the return of a loan granted, or claims for the payment of damages.
On June 5, 2024, of the 11 pending enforcement proceedings, one was discontinued due to the lack of foreclosure on the property. A new foreclosure on this property will not be able to be initiated until 9 months after the date of the second auction. At the same time, due to the validity of the payment order issued on January 4, 2024 in one of the pending court cases, another enforcement proceeding has been initiated after it was granted an enforcement clause. In view of the above, as of the date of this report, a total of 11 enforcement proceedings are pending. In addition, Group companies have filed four motions with the court to disclose the debtor's assets, the cases have been given references and the first hearings have already been held, and the dates of the next hearings have been set for September 2024.
Based on current status of the proceedings and best estimation of the management board, Group recognized write off in amount of PLN 2.6 million during the period ended 31 December 2023 and estimated that rest of the Group's assets are recoverable. Due to signing below mentioned agreement Group reversed PLN 0.9 million of write off and recover these assets during the period ended 30 September 2024.
In July 2024, the Ronson Group companies involved in the above disputes entered into an agreement with the main shareholder and the sole member of the management board of the entities with which these disputes are pending and with some of these entities. Pursuant to this agreement: (i) all of the obligations of these entities to the aforementioned Ronson Group companies were confirmed and acknowledged, (ii) additional security was provided for the repayment of the Ronson Group companies' receivables in the form of a voluntary submission to enforcement by the aforementioned shareholder and member of the Management Board, and by one of these entities, (iii) consent to the removal of the mortgage from the real estate of the Ronson group company and acknowledgment of the action to remove this mortgage has been granted and as of the date of this report the mortgage has already been removed from the land and mortgage register, (iv) the amount covered by one of the above claims has been deposited and in September 2024 has been released to the Group company. In addition, a future claims transfer agreement has been entered into, under which other claims of Group companies may be settled. In return, one of the Group companies agreed to discontinue enforcement proceedings against the selected property.
In connection with the deletion of the mortgage from the property of the Ronson Group company referred to above, that company withdrew its claim in this regard. In connection with the disbursement to the Group company of the amount covered by one of the claims referred to above, the Group company agreed not to enforce the claim despite the fact that there was a final judgment awarding the claim in favor of the Group company.
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of risks: Global risks, 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 2023, which continued into the period ended 30 September 2024, 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 Group subsidiaries, bank loans, bonds, financial instruments measured at amortised costs, 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, the Group is exposed to potential increase in construction costs, potential increase in interest rates, the challenge of securing lands for reasonable prices which can lead to the significant negative impact on the margins of 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 September 2024.
After a slowdown in 2023, economic growth is set to pick up in 2024 and 2025. According to a recent publication by the main Statistic office for Poland (GUS), Poland's economic growth in 2024 should oscillate around 3.4%. It will be supported by strong private, as well as public, consumption, while the trade balance is expected to hold back growth. Investment is set to contribute positively to growth in 2024, less than in 2023, but to accelerate in 2025. Inflation is projected to ease in 2024 and 2025, but price pressures are set to remain elevated in the context of rising domestic demand, increasing labour costs, and gradual unfreezing of energy prices. Investments in defense and social spending are delaying fiscal consolidation. Inflation is expected to decrease from 10,9% at the end of 2023 to around 4,9% at the end of September 2024.
The general government deficit is expected to increase to 5.7% of GDP in 2024 according to the polish government plan. Spending on defense is set to further expand.
The unemployment rate is set to rise marginally in 2024 but remain at a historical low of close to 5% in August amid negative demographic trends. The unemployment Rate in Poland is expected to be 5.5% by 30th September 2024.
Employment is projected to stagnate in 2024 and 2025. Wages are expected to continue growing at a fast pace, with an expected increase of a 23% in minimum wage in 2024 and as much as 9.8% in the average wages. Real wages are set to increase significantly in both 2024 and 2025.
In 2025, the GDP is forecast to increase by 3.2%. Private consumption is set to remain the key driver of growth amid accelerating EU-funded investment while growth of public consumption slows. The negative contribution from net exports is expected to shrink. Risks to the outlook relate mainly to further delays in the implementation of EU-funded investment and a higher saving rate of households.
The war in Ukraine was a key factor affecting the Polish economy in the last 2 years. It caused an increase in inflation particularly related to increases in energy and food prices. The level of Polish inflation in 2023 was at the level of 6.2% and went down to 4,9% in the end of September 2024.
Wibor rate remains on the same level with small changes during the period since January 2024.
Starting from July 2023 the 6-month WIBOR interest rate gradually decreased from the level of 6.95% to the level of 5.85% by the end of the third quarter. The effect of the decreased interest rates will have positive consequences for the Group in the form of lower interests expenses in the coming years. Interest expenses for the period ended 30 September 2024 amounted to PLN 17.1 million, as compared to PLN 17.9 million in (including costs capitalized in stock) for the period ended 30 September 2023, the decrease in the financial costs is manly due to lower interests rates and lower margin on newly drawn financial debts.
The first half year of 2024 started with strong sales which later decreased due to uncertainty related to the new government plan for subsidized loans as well as the delay of approving it.
The main key factor affecting the market in the first half year of 2024 was the fact that at the end of December 2023, it was no longer possible to apply for subsidized loans (BK21 loans). Throughout the first half year, however, banks analysed previously submitted applications and granted loans, resulting in a significant number of developer agreements being signed. The number of subsidized loans granted to buyers of first flats in Poland exceeded the preliminary assumptions. According to not final data, at the end of March 2024, there were already nearly 100,000 of subsidized loans, and in April there were still some applications waiting to be considered. It can be estimated that several thousand such loans (12,000-15,000) were granted at the primary market in the six largest agglomerations in the first quarter of 2024
1 BK2, which can be translated to English as Secure Loan 2% programme
In April 2024, the new elected government finalized the first draft of the project of subsidies for mortgage loans– "Mieszkanie na start" for further information on the details of the plan please review note 23 for the financial statement for the second quarter of 2024. For now, the future of "Mieszkanie na start" is uncertain, and further decisions will depend on the government's ability to overcome internal disputes and make the necessary changes.
In the period ended on 30th September 2024, the major cities experienced drop in demand due to the end of the 2% Safe Mortgage Program (BK2) which caused a decrease in sales in the six largest cities by 44.0% comparing to corresponding period of 2023 and as much as 6.9% decrease concerning sales in Q3 2024 comparing to Q2 2024.
Third quarter of 2024 was another quarter of waiting for decisions on new loan programme "Mieszkanie na Start". Developers who prepared an offer for this program in the first half of 2024 slowed down the introduction of new projects for sale. This was the fourth consecutive quarter when developers sold fewer apartments than they introduced to their offer. The supply of flats on the market was growing, and with it the pressure to slow down price growth. The offer at the end of September for 6 biggest markets totaled 52,200 units.
Due to lower sales in recent months and in view of the prolonged waiting period for the new loan programme " Mieszkanie na Start", developers were more flexible in their approach to negotiations, as in the previous quarter. They offered promotions and discounts in selected investments or apartment pools. However, these offers were still officially limited and, as was the case two years ago, they focused on selected elements related to the apartment, most often such as a discount on the price of a parking space, a storage room, or the cost of a notarial deed included in the price.
The Group has observed the above situation and is preparing an appropriate offer.
According to the Statistical office of Poland (GUS) Poland's annual inflation rate was confirmed at 4.9% in September 2024, the highest level since last December, from 4.3% in the previous month.
The Main upward pressure came from food and non-alcoholic beverages (4.7% vs 4.1% in August), housing and utilities (9.7% vs 9%), health (6.1% vs 2.7%), communication (2.6% vs 1%), and recreation & culture (5.4% vs 4.1%). On the other hand, prices decreased for transport (-1.5% vs -1.4%) and clothing and footwear (-1.8% vs -1.4%). On a monthly basis, consumer prices increased 0.1% in September, in line with preliminary estimates, the same as in August.
The inflation rate and with it the interbank interest which was stabilized during the reporting period still affects the polish economy in many aspects and the real estate residential sector in the following:
The Management Board 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 labour costs and delay in obtaining the necessary permits to start construction.
The construction costs have significantly risen within the last two years, reaching their peak in the second half of 2022 and stabilized during 2023. There is still a risk that construction costs may continue to rise in 2024.
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 as well as increase in labour costs due to increase in higher minimum average remuneration to employees as well as Construction costs labour costs which have increase by approximately 14.2% according to published information on June 2024.
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 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 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 based on its experience, professionalism and financial situation (including his ability for providing bank or insurance guarantees), as well as the quality of the insurance policy to cover all risks associated with the construction process. 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 real estate development business, in which the Company and the Group operates, requires significant initial expenditures to purchase land and to cover construction, infrastructure, and design costs.
As such, the Company and the Group, in order to continue and develop its business, require significant amounts of cash through external financing banks and issuance of bonds. The Company's and Group's ability to obtain such financing depend on many factors in particular, on market conditions which are beyond the Company's and the Group's control. In the event of difficulties to obtain the required financing, there is a risk that the scale of the Company's and Group's development and pace of achieving its strategic objectives may differ from what was originally planned. In such situation as described above, there is no certainty whether the Company and the Group will be able to obtain the required financing, nor whether financial resources will be obtained under conditions that are favorable to the Company and the Group. In order to mitigate the risk of insufficient financial resources, the Company is continuously exploring other possibilities of financial resources which will provide the necessary required financing and favorable conditions.
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.
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 Company's operations and financial position.
As at 30 September 2024, the carrying amount Investment Property was PLN 58.6 million and land held for development in the PRS segment was PLN 50.3 million, representing approximately 3.9% of the Group's assets.
As at 30 September 2024 the company reclassified one of it assets in the total amount of PLN 24.2 million to Assets for sale due to the inability of the company to fulfil proper development plan which was initially designated for the asset. The subsidiary was sold on 15 October 2024.
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 Company'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 Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended on 30 September2024 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 2023 (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
The Polish legal environment is characterised by frequent changes, inconsistency and lack of uniform interpretation of laws and tax regulations subject to frequent amendments, which contributes to risk factors related to the legal environment in which the Company and the Group operate.
Legislative and administrative risks identified by the Company mean that the Company's and its Group's operations cannot be conducted in isolation from the legal environment, which consists of both applicable laws and the practice of applying them. Since laws and the interpretation and practice of their application are subject to changes that are not always favorable to the Company's operations, these changes must be taken into account by the Company when conducting its operations, especially when planning future projects.
The amendment to the Planning and Development Act, which came into force on 30 September 2023 (despite the fact that many of its solutions will in fact be in force from 1 January 2026 or from the adoption of a general plan by a municipality), has introduced significant changes and these should be taken into account as early as 2024. Indeed, among the most important changes introduced in the aforementioned law, it is necessary to point out:
In addition, on 1 July 2024, the transitional period of the existing 2011 Development Act ended and, as of 2 July 2024, the sale of flats in ongoing development projects is already being carried out in full in accordance with the new Act of 20 May 2021 on the protection of the rights of the purchaser of a dwelling or single-family house and the Developer Guarantee Fund (the so-called Development Act).
Moreover, on 1 August 2024, the Ordinance of the Minister of Development and Technology of 27 October 2023 amending the Ordinance on technical conditions to be met by buildings and their location will come into force. The amendment to the technical conditions particularly concerns the requirements for multi-family residential buildings, the most important of which include:
The above-described legislative changes are some of the most important changes that, in the opinion of the Management Board, may pose a risk and thus have a direct or indirect impact on the Company's and the Group's operations and results.
However, given the Company's and the Group's long-standing experience in the market, its ability to adapt quickly to new market conditions, its financial position and its reputation in the market, the Board believes that these changes will have less impact on the Company than on other developers.
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 for the period ended on 30th September 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 2023 (Note 32). 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.
As of 30th September there are no significant monetary balances held by the Group 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 table below analyses the Group's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period from reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

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 September 2024, the WIBOR6M was 5.85% (as of 31 December 2023, it was 5.82%). The Company's bonds are based on WIBOR6M plus margin, while bank loans are based on WIBOR3M or WIBOR1M plus margin. Changes in the WIBOR rate will have a significant impact on the Group's cash flow and profitability.

Mr Haim will be entitled to exercise the Options as follows:
The Options can be exercised until the end of 7 years from the date of their allocation. Options that were not exercised within the above-mentioned period, expire. Assuming all the Options are exercised, Mr. Haim will hold c.a. 2.38% of the issued and paid-up capital of A. Luzon Group and about 1.89% of the issued and paid-up capital of A. Luzon Group on a full dilution basis. The Option program envisages adjustments in options for share allocation in case of various corporate events in A.
