We have also taken misstatements into account and/or possible misstatements that in our opinion are material for the users of the financial statements for qualitative reasons.
We agreed with the board of directors that misstatements in excess of €190 thousand, which are identified during the audit, would be reported to them, as well as smaller misstatements that in our view must be reported on qualitative grounds.
Scope of the group audit
BCRE-Brack Capital Real Estate Investments N.y. is at the head of a group of entities. The financial information of this group is included in the consolidated financial statements of BCRE-Brack Capital Real Estate Investments N.y.
Our group audit mainly focused on significant group entities based on the relative size of the group entity on the total assets, including the size of the investment properties, inventory of land and apartments under construction and interest bearing loans and borrowings. Significant group entities are also determined based on specific risks of material misstatements. The group is organized on a country basis, and its operations are mainly based in the US and Russia, comprising approximately 90% of total assets reported as at 31 December 2017.
The group audit is performed in close cooperation with El Israel, which performs most of the audit work, by selecting full, specific and limited scope locations, comprising approximately 66%, 30% and 4% of group's total assets reported as at 31 December 2017, respectively. We have reviewed the procedures performed by El Israel on the most significant full scope locations in the US and Russia.
By performing the procedures mentioned above at selected group entities and at group level for accounts managed centrally, we have been able to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence about the group's financial information to provide an opinion on the financial statements.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements. We have communicated the key audit matters to the board of directors. The key audit matters are not a comprehensive reflection of all matters discussed. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Following the divestment of the remaining interest in Brack Capital Properties N.y. during 2017, the deconsolidation of this associate, which was reported as a key audit matter last year, is not included anymore as a separate key audit matter for this year.

We reviewed the adequacy of the disclosures provided in the financial statements.

We verified that the Company made appropriate disclosures in the financial statements.

Our audit approach ikey observations
investments and loans to associates and joint ventures (see notes 2 and 7)
The group holds interest in several associates and joint ventures, accounted for using the equity method. in addition, the group granted loans to its investees. At each reporting date the group determines whether there are indicators that these investments are impaired. We have determined that the assessment of possible impairment of investments in investees contains a risk, mainly due to the uncertainty related to the future profitability of their operations and the fact that the investment properties of the investees are valued at fair value.
Furthermore management decided to dispose of certain associates and/or joint ventures and classified these as discontinued operations (sale of Brack Capital Properties N.y.) or assets held for sale.
As the recoverability of these investments and loans is dependent on the related real estate projects in these entities, our audit response included the procedures for investment properties that are described in the above key audit matters. We evaluated indicators of impairment and performed audit procedures on the management's impairment analysis. This included testing procedures on the projects' projected cash flows and budgets to ensure collectability of loans granted.
We evaluated management's considerations regarding associates and/or joint ventures classified as discontinued operations or assets held for sale.
We reviewed the adequacy of the disclosures provided in the financial statements.
We concur with management's assessment of impairment related to investments and loans to associates and joint ventures as well as management's assessment of associates and/or joint ventures classified as discontinued operations or as held for sale.
We verified that the Company made appropriate disclosures in the financial statements,
Report on other information included in the annual report
In addition to the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon, the annual report contains other information that consists of:
- The director's report
- Other information pursuant to Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code
Based on the following procedures performed, we conclude that the other information:
- Is consistent with the financial statements and does not contain material misstatements
- Contains the information as required by Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code
We have read the other information. Based on our knowledge and understanding obtained through our audit of the financial statements or otherwise, we have considered whether the other information contains material misstatements. By performing these procedures, we comply with the requirements of Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code and the Dutch Standard 720. The scope of the procedures performed is less than the scope of those performed in our audit of the financial statements.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the other information, including the Directors report in accordance with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code and other information pursuant to Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
Engagement
We were engaged by the board of directors as auditor of BCRE-Brack Capital Real Estate Investments NV. on 2 February 2015, as of the audit for the year 2014. and have operated as statutory auditor ever since that date.
No prohibited non-audit services
We have not provided prohibited non-audit services as referred to in Article 5(1) of the EU Regulation on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities.
Description of responsibilities for the financial statements
Responsibilities of the board of directors for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with EU-IFRS and Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. Furthermore, management is responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are tree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
As part of the preparation of the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the financial reporting frameworks mentioned, management should prepare the financial statements using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Management should disclose events and circumstances that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in the financial statements.
The non-executive members of the board of directors are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objective is to plan and perform the audit assignment in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for our opinion.
Our audit has been performed with a high, but not absolute, level of assurance, which means we may not have detected all material errors and fraud.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The materiality affects the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and the evaluation of the effect of identified misstatements on our opinion.

We have exercised professional judgment and have maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit, in accordance with Dutch Standards on Auditing, ethical requirements and independence requirements. Our audit included e.g.:
- Identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designing and performing audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control
- Obtaining an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control
- Evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management
- Concluding on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting, and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern, If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or. if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause a company to cease to continue as a going concern
- Evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures
- Evaluating whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation
Because we are ultimately responsible for the opinion, we are also responsible for directing, supervising and performing the group audit. In this respect we have determined the nature and extent of the audit procedures to be carried out for group entities. Decisive were the size and/or the risk profile of the group entities or operations. On this basis, we selected group entities for which an audit or review had to be carried out on the complete set of financial information or specific items.
We communicate with the board of directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant findings in internal control that we identify during our audit. In this respect we also submit a report to the audit committee in accordance with Article 11 of the EU Regulation on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities. The information included in this additional report is consistent with our audit opinion in this auditor's report.
We provide the board of directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated to the board of directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, not communicating the matter is in the public interest,

The unfavorable economic conditions in Russia have a significant impact on the valuations of the Russian investment properties, investments in associates and joint ventures. Consequently, a risk also exists that the loan covenants are not met.

We reviewed the adequacy of the disclosures provided in the financial statements.
We verified that management's estimations regarding the valuation of investment properties, investments in associates and joint ventures related to the operations of the group in Russia appropriately reflect the local market situation and economic conditions.
We verified that the Company made appropriate disclosures in the financial statements.

At each reporting date the group determines whether there are indicators that these investments are impaired. We have determined that the assessment of possible impairment of investments in investees contains a risk, mainly due to the uncertainty related to the future profitability of their operations and the tact that the investment properties of the investees are valued at fair value.
Furthermore management decided to dispose of certain associates and/or joint ventures and classified these as discontinued operations (sale of Brack Capital Properties N.y.) or assets held for sale.
As the recoverability of these investments and loans is dependent on the related real estate projects in these entities, our audit response included the procedures for investment properties that are described in the above key audit matters. We evaluated indicators of impairment and performed audit procedures on the management's impairment analysis. This included testing procedures on the projects' projected cash flows and budgets to ensure collectability of loans granted.
We evaluated managements considerations regarding associates and/or joint ventures classified as discontinued operations or assets held for sale.
We reviewed the adequacy of the disclosures provided in the financial statements.
We concur with management's assessment of impairment related to investments and loans to associates and joint ventures as well as management's assessment of associates and/or joint ventures classified as discontinued operations or as held for sale,
We verified that the Company made appropriate disclosures in the financial statements.
Report on other information included in the annual report
In addition to the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon, the annual report contains other information that consists of:
- The director's report
- Other information pursuant to Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code
Based on the following procedures performed, we conclude that the other information:
- Is consistent with the financial statements and does not contain material misstatements
- Contains the information as required by Part 9of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code
We have read the other information. Based on our knowledge and understanding obtained through our audit of the financial statements or otherwise, we have considered whether the other information contains material misstatements. By performing these procedures, we comply with the requirements of Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code and the Dutch Standard 720. The scope of the procedures performed is less than the scope of those performed in our audit of the financial statements.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the other information, including the Directors report in accordance with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code and other information pursuant to Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
Engagement
We were engaged by the board of directors as auditor of BCRE-Brack Capital Real Estate Investments N.y. on 2 February 2015, as of the audit for the year 2014, and have operated as statutory auditor ever since that date.
No prohibited non-audit services
We have not provided prohibited non-audit services as referred to in Article 5(1) of the EU Regulation on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities.
Description of responsibilities for the financial statements
Responsibilities of the board of directors for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with EU-IFRS and Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. Furthermore, management is responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,
As part of the preparation of the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the financial reporting frameworks mentioned, management should prepare the financial statements using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Management should disclose events and circumstances that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in the financial statements.
The non-executive members of the board of directors are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objective is to plan and perform the audit assignment in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for our opinion.
Our audit has been performed with a high, but not absolute, level of assurance, which means we may not have detected all material errors and fraud.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The materiality affects the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and the evaluation of the effect of identified misstatements on our opinion.

We have exercised professional judgment and have maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit, in accordance with Dutch Standards on Auditing, ethical requirements and independence requirements. Our audit included e.g.:
- Identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designing and performing audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control
- Obtaining an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control
- Evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management
- Concluding on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting, and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause a company to cease to continue as a going concern
- Evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures
- Evaluating whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation
Because we are ultimately responsible for the opinion, we are also responsible for directing, supervising and performing the group audit. In this respect we have determined the nature and extent of the audit procedures to be carried out for group entities. Decisive were the size and/or the risk profile of the group entities or operations. On this basis, we selected group entities for which an audit or review had to be carried out on the complete set of financial information or specific items.
We communicate with the board of directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant findings in internal control that we identify during our audit. In this respect we also submit a report to the audit committee in accordance with Article 11 of the EU Regulation on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities. The information included in this additional report is consistent with our audit opinion in this auditor's report.
We provide the board of directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated to the board of directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, not communicating the matter is in the public interest.

Building a bailer working world Publication of auditor's report
1 CondItions
Authorization to publish the auditors report is granted subject to the following conditions:
- Further consultation with the auditor is essential if, after this authorization has been granted, facts and circumstances become known which materially affect the view given by the financial statements.
- The authorization concerns inclusion of the auditor's report in the anrual report to be tabled at me An.nua' General Meeting (hereafter ACM) incoporating the financial statements as dawn up.
- The authorization also concerns inclusion of the auditor's report in trw annual report to be filed wifl the Trade Registrar. provideo consideration of the financial statements by the ACM does not result in any amendments.
- Financial statements for filing at the offices of the Trade Registrar which have been abridged in accordance with Section 397 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code must be derived from the financial statements adopted by the ACM and a draft version of these financial statements for filing purposes must be submitted to us for inspection.
- The auditor's report can also be included if the financial statements are published electronically, such as on the internet. In such cases, the full financial statements should be published and these should be easily cistirguishable from other information proviced e:ectronically at me same time,
- If the pubished financial statements are to be included in another document which is to be made public, authorization to include the ajitor's report must again oe granted by the aditor.
- 2 Explanations to the condltion5
- 2.1 Board of supervisory dIrectors and board of executive directors
The auditor usually forwards his report to the board of supervisory directors and to the board of executive directors. This is pursuant to Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code, section 393 which stipulates inter alia: "The auditor sets out the outcome of his examination in a report". 'The auditor reports on his examination to the board of supervisory directors and the board of executive directors".
2.2 Annual Genera) Meeting t%GM)
pn:ication of the audtor's repot will only be permtteo subject fo the audtor's express consent. Publication is understood to mean: making avalable for circulation among me pubbc or to such group of persons as to ma4e it tantamount to tne Public. Circulation among shareholders or members, as aopropriate, also comes within the scope of the term ''oublication", so that inclusion of the auditor's report in the annual report to be tabled at the ACM similarly requires authorization by the auditor.
2.3 Auditor's reports and financial statements
The authorization concerns publication in the annual report incorporating the financial statements that are the subject of the auditor's report. This condition is based on the auditors' rules of professional practice, which state that the auditor will not be allowed to authorize publication of his report except together with the financial statements to which this report refers,
The audtor will also at all times want to see the rest of the annual report, since the audtor is not atowec to authorize publication of his report if, owing to the contents of tne documents o'ntIy oubhsbed, an incorrect 'mpression is created as to the significance of the financial statements.
2.4 Events between the date of the auditor's report and the ACM
Attention should be paid to the fact that between the date of the auditor's report and the date of the meeting at which adoption, as appropriate, of the financial statements is considered, facts or circumstances may have occurred which materially affect the view given by the financial statements. Under C0S 560, the auditor must perform audit procedures designed to obtain sufficient audit evidence to ensure that all events occurring before the date of the auditor's report that warrant amendment of or disclosure in the financial statements have been identified,
If the auditor becomes aware of events that may be of material significance to the financial statements, the auditor must consider whether those events have been adequately recognized and sufficiently disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. If between the date of the auditor's report and the date of publication of the financial statements, the auditor becomes aware of a fact that may have a material impact on the financial statements, the auditor must assess whether the financial statemerts should be amended, discuss the matter with management and act as circumstances dictate.
2.5 Trade Registrar
The financial statements are tabled at the ACM (legal entities coming within the scope of Title 9of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code taole the directors' report and the other information as well). The ACM considers adoption of the financial statements. Only after the financial statements have been adopted, do they become the statutory (i.e., the company) financial statements. As a rule, the statutory financial statements will be adopted without amendment. The auditor's report must be attached to the statutory financial statements as part of the other information. As a rule, the text of this report will be the same as that issued earlier, The documents to be made public by filing at the offices of the Trade Registrar will consist of the statutory financial statements, the directors' report and the other information. The auditor's report whicn refers to the unabridged financial statements will then have to be incorporated in the other information. If consideration of the financial statements by the ACM does not result in any amendments, the audtor's report may be attached to tre financial statements adopted, by tne ACM and, provided the annual report and financial statements are filed promptly at the offices of the Trade Registrar, published as part of these annual report and financial statements.
2.6 Other manner of publication
The financial statements may also be published other than by filing at the offices of the Trade Registrar. tn that event, too, inclusion of the auditor's report is permitted, provided the financial statements are published in full, if publication concerns part of the financial statements or if the financial statements are published in abridged form, publication of any report the auditor has issued on such financial statements will be prohibited, unless:
- a. He has come to the Conclusion that, in the circumstances of the case, the document concerned is appropriate Or
- b. Based on regal regulations, publication of the document concerned is all that is required
If less than the full financial statements are publisned, further consultation with tne auditor is essential. If tne financial statements and the auditor's report are published on the internet, it should be ensured that the financial statements are easily distinguishable from other information contained on the internet site. This can be achieved, for example, by including the financial statements as a separate file in a read'only format or by including a warning message when the reader exits the financial statements document.
2.7 Inclusion In another document
if the published financial statements are to be included in another document which is to be made public, this is considered a new publication and authorization must again be obtained from the auditor. An example of this situation is the pub'ication of an offering circular wnch includes the financial statements. after these financial statements have been filed at the office of the Trade Registrar together with the other annual reports. For each new publication, authorization must again be obtained from the auditor.
2.0 Events after the ACM
Even if facts and circumstances have become known after the adoption of the financial statements as a result of which they no longer give the statutory true and fair view, the auditor must stand by the report issued on the financial statements as adopted and by the auditor's report filed at the offices of the Trade Registrar. In that event, the legal entity is required to file a statement at the offices of the Trade Registrar on these facts and circumstances accompanied by an auditor's report. In this situation, too, further consultation with the auditor is essential.

"On behalf of the Board and our shareholders, I would like to thanic our management team and all our colleagues for the hard work in delivering the financial results set out in this annual report.
The financial results for the 12 months to 31 December2017 reflect the benefits ofour strategy of consolidation on growth economies and our efforts to stabilize the emerging market portfolios.
The Board announced its Business Plan in early 2018 including its new strategic plan going forward for the Company, the fundamentals of which are summarized as follows: a policy with a focus on de-risking, deleveraging and improving balance sheet quality, reducing asset exposure and cutting costs. In addition, this policy entails no new investments in emerging and/or non-core markets and being extremely selective in ness investments while taking into consideration shareholders' distributions time horizon expectations.
The Board is confident that BCRE will continue to exercise its strategy with financial discipline with conservative liquidity policy and overhead reduction thus creating a better match with the modified balance sheet and activities profiles.
Management continues to remain focused on fundingand liquidity management in what appears to be uncertain times with the threats of interest rates rising and inflation raising its heads.
All capital commitments will continue to be made in a disciplined manner and will remain subject to rigorous strategic and financial considerations.
On behalf of all shareholders, the Board continues to monitor BCRE's performance in important areas such as compliance, risk management and remuneration,

1.3.2 Our key markets
Set out below are the highlights for the period in relation to the Company's main regional platforms:
Us
The Company has an interest in BCRE USA of 100% as of 31 December2017. Currently BCRE USA mainly focuses on residential conversions and hotels in Manhattan, in addition to income producing activity that includes acquiring and owning multifamily residential properties outside New York.
BCRE USA continued the advancement in both major residential projects in Manhattan, 720 West End Avenue and 90 Morton Street.
The programme of the replacement facility which is being built on 125" street in Manhattan for the 720 West End Avenue project. a major residential building with a gross area of approximately 240,000 sq ft in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. is progressing well. The completion date of the replacement facility is expected by early 2019.
Following the approval, by the New York City attorney general. of the condo offering plan for 90 Morton Street. a major development in the \Vest Village. Manhattan with a net area of approximately 90,000 sq. ft., construction is expected to be completed during the second half of 2018. Marketing and sales campaign will be launched in April 2018 together with the official opening of the on-site sales office.
WIG's flagship Indigo hotel, opened in November 2015 and was fully operational by mid-2016. In 2017, its first fully operational year, the hotel was still stabilizing and capturing its share in the lower east side submarket while its F&B outlet is continuing performing extremely well by increasing the total revenues by 15% of the year before. The hotel's overall performance represents a substantial ramp up as compared to 2016 with occupancy increasing 11% and gross rooms revenue increasing 15%. In March 2018. the Group signed a letter of intent with a third party for the sale of the property owned by BCRE ING 180 Orchard Holdings LLC which is classified as held for sale as at 31 December2017.
The 230 room CitizenM Hotel in Times Square performance is stabilized. The construction of the 300 room CitizenM Hotel at Bowery Street is progressing well and is scheduled lobe completed by the end of 2018. In March 2018, the Group signed an agreement with its partner for the sale of the Group's total shareholding in OSIB-BCRE Bowery Street Holdings LLC which is classified as held for sale as at 31 December2017.
In line with its strategy. BCRE USA commenced more than four years ago investing intl estate market in the US (primarily in Ohio), using the Group's extensive experience of tins asset class in

Germany and in Manhattan. As at 31 December2017, the total number of multifamily units under management in Cincinnati, Ohio area stands at 852. The performance of the portfolio aligns with BCRE's business plan with an overall average occupancy of more than 91% for the year 2017. Early 2017 the REIT purchased a new property, Preserve at Sagebrook. The property performance in 2017 well aligned with BCRE's original business plan.
Russia
The Company, with around 85% interest in the Russian platform, is continuing with its hands-on management approach and focus on the stabilization of its projects in Russia. Supported by the pickup in energy prices. several 2017 macroeconomic indicators seem to provide positive tallwinds to the Russia economy in general and the Russian median household and consumer in particular. These indicators include resumed growth (albeit still relatively below at sub 2%), reduced inflation, very reasonable fiscal -spending and substantially increasing foreign exchange reserves. The Central Bank of the Russian Federation has gradually reduced the interest rates from a crisis high of l7% to the current 7.5% and Russia has successfully raised sovereign bonds in the international markets. Retail sales continued to decline during the first half of 2017 even after economic GDP growth resumed, hut that lag has ended and retail sales has been growing in the past few months — at a modest year on year pace. The Company's management views the change in trend as positive, but moderate at best, and foresees the Russian consumer market to remain under pressure for a longer period, as households gradually rebuild their net worth.
The effect of the current economic situation in Russia is being reflected in the valuations of December 2017 (for further details refer to Section 1.4. I). thus reducing the Company's exposure to this geography.
However, the Group has managed to keep its assets in Russia fully operational. reduce overall risk profile by completing projects under progress. restructure the bank loans of its 4 main assets by, among others, improving the interest rates and postponing the amortization payments and have shifted from development risk to the domain of income producing assets. During 2017 the Company also started a process of carefully improving tenant mix — especially in Lyubertsy (where the food anchor was replaced) and Lobnia.
The Company continues to focus on stabilizing the Russian platform, as the shopping center in Dmitrov, the logistic warehouse in Lobnia and Kazan's main retail module are income producing assets almost fully occupied, whereas the Lyubertsy shopping center, 27,000 sq m, opened in December 2015 and benefits from signed leases and term sheets nearing 90% occupancy and the two additional modules in Kazan are still ramping up. In addition, BCRE Russia successfully entered into agreements with the existing financing bank concerning four major projects in Russia (Kazan, Lyubertsy, Lobnia and Dmitrov), whereby the main terms have been amended (prolonging the final maturity dates by 3 to 5 years. amortization payment schedules shall be postponed towards the maturity dates, improved interest rates, significant loan covenants have been relaxed) and the corporate structure of the subsidiaries/associates have been revised. The financing bank obtained a 'golden' share in each project, which provides the financing bank with a veto right in respect of material decisions at the level of the subsidiaries/associates. The 'golden' shares can be repurchased subject to meeting certain conditions such as simultaneously meeting of certain figures of loan to value and debt service coverage ratios. The Company expects that the amendments of the existing loan facilities will have a positive impact in the debt servicing obligations and on the liquidity of BCRE Russia.
Overall, 2017 was an improvement relative to 2016 but the overall economic and retail environment is still very challenging and uncertain. However, our team in Russia with its proactive approach is wll equipped to monitor and react to the various challenges on the ground. The Company believes that its flidalwmaintain and stabilize its Russian position will turn fruitful in the long run.
1.3.3 Other markets and activities
In line with the Group strategy over the past two years. BCRE continued to focus on its key growth economies and stabilization of its emerging market portfolio. In parallel, the Group continued to reduce or discontinue activities in its non-core markets.
The BCRE India Fund closure has been extended by 24 months until March 2019 to provide for the time necessary for an orderly disposition of the fund's investments in India and the investments in the USA held through the BCRE India Fund.
In relation to the Marconi project in Rome. Italy. the Group is also exploring ways to monetize the investment. The Group proceeded with the winding down of the small ticket lending business in the US during the first quarter of2018.

The overall administrative expenses were €10.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2017 (31 December 2016: €8.7 million). Out of which the amount of approximately €4.9 million relates to general and administrative expenses relating to inventoi of buildings under construction and investment property (approximately 31 December 2016: €2.5 million). The net financial expenses has increased for the year ended 31 December 2017 by €19.1 million to €24.5 million (31 December 2016: €5.4 million) due to the decrease by €14.5 million in foreign currency translation gains for the year ended 31 December2017 compared to last year (gain of €5.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2017 compared to a gain of €20 million for the year ended 31 December 2016).
The loss from Russia derives mainly from the valuation loss of the investment properties (including currency translation impact) amounting to €15.7 million (31 December 2016: loss of€Sl.6 million) and from the share in the loss of its associates and joint ventures amounting to €16.9 million (31 December 2016: loss of €46.7 million), of which the latter mainly relates to the valuation loss of the Kazan project (including currency translation impact). The valuation losses of the investment properties and of the associates'/joint ventures' projects are mainly caused by the reduction of income derived from low tenant's turnovers, by the signing of new rent agreements. and by a slower increase in occupancy than expected, all in context of the Russia market situation.
The profit from USA derives mainly from the valuation gain of the investment properties (including currency translation impact) amounting to €21.1 million (31 December 2016: €15.2 million), partly offset by the impairment loss amounting to €19.3 million (31 December 2016: nil) relating to the investment in BCRE IHG 180 Orchard Holdings LLC classified as asset held for sale (further explained below). The valuation gain of the investment properties is due mainly from the improvements in the capitalisation rates o the multifamily properties in Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio, driven by the increase in demand and shortage onty

properties in this region, and the increase in the value of 720 West End Avenue project due to the increase in the total net saleable sq. ft., assuming residential condominium conversion.

1.5.2 Introduction
The Company is a public limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, and its shares were admitted to the standard listing segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority. The Dutch Corporate Governance Code applies, among others, to all companies whose registered offices are in the Netherlands and whose shares have been admitted to listing on a stock exchange or to trading on a regulated market, whether in the Netherlands or elsewhere. As a company, whose shares are admitted to the standard listing segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority, the Company is not required to comply with the requirements of the UK Corporate Governance Code published by the Financial Reporting Council ("FRC") in 2016 (the "UK Corporate Governance Code"). However, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") acknowledges the importance of good corporate governance and has put in place a framework which enables the Company to comply where considered appropriate with the UK Corporate Governance Code, alternatively to the Dutch Corporate Govemance Code. The UK Corporate Governance Code and the Dutch Corporate Governance Code are mainly based upon the same or at least comparable principles of good corporate governance. In view of the listing of its shares on the London Stock Exchange. the Company complies voluntarily with aspects of the UK Corporate Governance Code considered appropriate to the Group instead of complying with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code.
The Board is committed to maintaining a high standard of corporate governance and intend to continue to comply with those aspects of the UK Corporate Governance Code which they consider appropriate, considering the size of the Company and the nature of its business.
The UK Corporate Governance Code consists of principles (main and supporting) and provisions and uses a "comply or explain" approach, Listed companies (with a premium listing, but not those with a standard listing. of shares on the London Stock Exchange) are required to apply the main principles of the UK Corporate Governance Code and report to shareholders on how they have done so. Listed companies are required to either confirm that they have complied with all provisions set out in the UK Corporate Governance Code or, where they have not, to provide an explanation where justified in particular circumstances if good governance can be achieved by other means. Companies with a standard listing can voluntarily comply with the aspects of the UK Corporate Governance Code that are appropriate to be adopted.
A current version of the UK Corporate Governance Code came into effect in 2016, applying to financial years beginning on or after 17June20 16 and will apply, where considered appropriate for the Company to comply with it, to the Company from I January 2017. The UK Corporate Governance Code can be found on the FRC website at: ww.frc.org.uk and the Dutch Corporate Governance Code (as revised on 8 December 2016) can be found at: vw.commissiecnrporateuo ernance.nI
1.5.3 Board composition, roles and independence
The UK Corporate Governance Code recommends that the board of directors of a listed company should include a balance of executive and non-executive directors (and in particular independent non-executive directors) such that no individual or small group of individuals can dominate the board's decision making. The UK Corporate Governance Code also recommends that the chairman should, on appointment, be independent. Jan van der Meer has resigned as non-executive Director effective as of3 March 2017 for personal reasons, as a result of which the Company currently has four Directors (biographies are set out in Section 1.5.1). three of whom are non-executive Directors: Harm Thaker. Daniel Aalsvel and Luca Tomesani Melotti and one executive Director: Michiel Olland. Only one non-executive Director, Daniel Aalsvel, is regarded by the Company as being independent of management and free from any business or other rela kinLt)e4&at could materially interfere with the exercise of his independentjudgement. Daniel Aalsvel has exp to retire from the Company as a Director immediately following the approval of the Comi any's 2017 annrl

report. Harm Thaker (non-executive Chairman) is not independent given that he was appointed as an executive Director of the Company in October2013 before being appointed as a non-executive Director in 2014. was a director of BCRE UK Limited (in relation to which he has been granted co-investment rights) and is a member of the Investment Advisory Committee. Harm Thaker also has co-investment rights in the Groups lending business- However, the Board considers that his extensive experience of European real estate makes him appropriate to be Chairman notwithstanding his other involvement in the Groups business. Luca Tomesani Melotti was re-appointed on 30June20 17 as a non-executive Director. In addition, the number of independent non-executive Directors does not comply with the recommendation of the UK Corporate Governance Code that at least two of the directors, excluding the chairman, should be independent non-executive directors.
The independence of non-executive Directors is based on criteria suggested in the UK Corporate Governance Code. The UK Corporate Governance Code recommends that the Board should appoint one of its independent non-executive Directors as Senior Independent Director. At present. the Company does not consider it appropriate to appoint any Director to fulfil this role (given the limited size of the Board) but may decide to do so in the future.
The Directors ofthe Company, have entered into letters of appointment with the Company for an initial period ending the first day following the annual General Meeting to be held in 2015 after which their agreements are renewable upon their re-appointment. The agreements may be terminated by either the applicable Director or the Company by giving the other party three months' notice in writing. These are available for inspection at the Company's registered office during the normal business hours and are also available at annual General Meetings.
Pursuant to the articles of association of the Company ("Articles"), a Board member shall be appointed or re appointed for a period ending on the first day following the annual General Meeting held in the year after his appointment, unless the resolution provides for a longer or shorter term. This is consistent with the UK Corporate Governance Code which recommends that all directors should be subject to re-election by shareholders at intervals of no more than three years after the first annual General Meeting after their appointment.
The Board has responsibility for the Group's strategic, financial poLicies and generaL business activities and meets regularly. All the Directors have access to the advice and services of the Company Secretary and are able to gain access to external independent professional advice at the Company's expense should they wish to do so in relation to their duties. The Company offers to all the Directors the possibility to regularly update and refresh their skills and knowledge. Newly appointed Directors receive an induction training offered by the Company. Further details of the Board's powers and function are described in Section 1.5.13.
The Company is in process of assessing the appropriate balance of skills and experience, independence and knowledge of the Board, as part of its succession planning to ensure progressive refreshing of the Board and, in particular, following the implementation of Directive 2014/56/EU on statutory audits of annual accounts and consolidated accounts in the Netherlands and the announcement that Daniel Aalsvel is to retire as a nonexecutive Director from the Company immediately following the approval of the Company's 2017 annual report.
An appropriate balance of executive and non-executive members of the Board is maintained and the Board is supplied with regular and timely information concerning the activities of the Group in order to enable it to exercise its responsibilities and control functions in a proper and effective manner. The Board has a breadth of experience relevant to the Company, and the Directors believe that any changes to the B atditlaedposition can be managed without undue disruption.

The Board approved the diversity policy in 2017.This policy sets out the Company's position on providing equal opponunitv in all aspects of employment. including recruitment and promotion. giving guidance and encouragement to employees at all levels to act fairly and prevent discrimination on the grounds of sex, race, colour, ethnic or national origins, physical ability, marital status, part-time and fixed contract status. educational or professional background. age, sexual orientation, religion, beliefs, perspective, experience. or other ideologies. This policy applies to all current and potential employees and directors. BCRE sees diversity as an asset to the organization and linked to better economic performance and it helps achieve its objectives. BCRE believes that diversity ofeompetences and views of its Board members, facilitates a good understanding of the business organization and affairs of the Company. It enables Board members to constructively challenge the management decisions and to be more open to innovative ideas.

The Board reports to the shareholders on its stewardship of the Company through the publication of interim and final results each year.

The Board has overall responsibility for the Group's system of internal control and for reviewing its adequacy and effectiveness. Such system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives and aims to provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement. In order to discharge that responsibility in a manner that ensures compliance with laws and regulations and promote effective and efficient operations, the Directors have established an organisational structure with clear operating procedures. lines of responsibility and delegated authority. These are designed to safeguard the assets of the Group and to ensure the reliability of financial information for both internal use and external publication. The Audit Committee reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group's internal control policies and procedures for the identification, assessment and reporting of risks. The Audit Committee discusses and examines with the senior managers on a quarterly basis regarding the internal policies and procedures. The Audit Committee reviews as well the results of the external auditors' audit findings concerning the audit of the financial statements and proposes recommendations accordingly.
The Group's internal control procedures include Board approval for all significant capital investment projects. All major and/or extraordinary expenditures require either senior management or Board approval at the appropriate stages of each transaction. A system of regular reporting covering both technical progress of projects and the state of the Group's financial affairs provides appropriate information to management to facilitate control. The Board reviews, identifies, evaluates and manages the significant risks that the Group faces. Section 1.9.2 sets out in detail the key risk factors relating to the strategy of the Company. The Group has in place internal control and risk management systems in relation to the Group's financial reporting process and the Groups' process for preparing financial statements. These systems include policies and procedures (i.e. certain committees were created in order to review the financial and operational performance of the Group) to ensure that adequate accounting records are maintained and transactions are recorded accurately and fairly to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. The Directors, having reviewed the effectiveness of the system of internal financial, operatior abitikIapliance controls and risk management, examine whether the system of internal control operated effi %

the financial year and up to the date the financial statements were signed and will make recommendations when appropriate.

1.5.19 Depositary interests and the CREST system
In order to enable the trading of the Company's shares on the London Stock Exchange main market, the Articles permit the holding of shares under the CREST system. CREST is a paperless settlement procedure enabling securities to be transferred from one person's CREST account to another without the need to use share certificates or written instruments of transfer. CREST is a voluntary system and shareholders who wish to receive and retain shares will be able to do so. The Company's shares have been enabled for settlement in CREST on the date of admission to the London Stock Exchange.
To enable investors to settle the securities of non-UK registered companies through CREST, a depositary or custodian in the United Kingdom must hold the relevarn securities and issue uncertificated depositary interests ("DIs") representing the underlying securities which are held in trust for the holder of the DIs. With effect from admission of BCRE to the London Stock Exchange. it is possible for CREST members to hold and transfer DIs in respect of Company's shares within CREST pursuant to a depositary interest arrangement established between the Company and Link Market Services Trustees Limited (former Capita IRG Trustees Limited) (the "Depositary"). From a practical perspective, DIs can be credited to the same member account as all of the other CREST investments of a particular investor and held and transferred in the same way as the securities of any other company participating in CREST.
Holders of DIs do not have the rights which Dutch law confers on shareholders, such as voting rights. In respect of the shares underlying the DIs those rights vest in the Depositary (or its custodian). Consequently. if the holders of DIs wish to exercise any of those rights they must rely on the Depositary (or its custodian) to either exercise those rights for their benefit or authorise them to exercise those rights for their own benefit. Pursuant to the deed poll which creates the Dls, the Depositary (or its custodian) must pass on to, and so far, as it is reasonably able, exercise on behalf of the relevant holders of Dls all rights and entitlements which it receives or is entitled to in respect of the underlying shares and which are capable of being passed on or exercised.

1.9 RISK MANAGEMENT
The following section describes the Group's risk management and control system.
The risk management and control system loans an essential part of the business operations and reporting, and aims to ensure with a reasonable degree of certainty that the risks to which the Group is exposed are identified and controlled adequately within the margins of a conservative risk profile.
1.9.1 Risk Appetite
Under regular market risk conditions, BCRE's approach to portfolio allocation is focused on the continuous monitoring and adjustment of its portfolio, ensuring diversification by country, asset class, currency, specification and development to income-producing properties. In addition to following an analytical approach to the investment decisions throughout the life cycle of a project, BCRE focuses on value addition to its properties through proactive asset and property management. Rigorous research & analysis and risk management are cornerstones to BCRE's business philosophy. However, BCRE's very cautious cuffent market view (see macro view below in the section Risks related to Changes in ;nacroecononzic conditions) necessitates an ad hoc diversion from its usual asset allocation and diversification — oriented methodology and focus on rapid risk reduction. As the company's Board and management believe that current global market circumstances are of an increased risk leveL, BCRE's current short and medium business plan includes mostly de-risking by deleveraging. divestment of non-core and some stabilized properties and cost cutting. BCRE believes execution time is of the essence, and has started to pursue the execution of the business plan with rigour since there is no clear timing or probability when the global market conditions will get riskier.
BCRE. as part of its strategy which involves conservative underwriting, carries out continues high-level reviews of the real estate sector in the markets in which it is present to ensure that it understands the opportunities they offer and reviews its existing portfolio in line with market movements. The Group's teams in the markets where the Group operates are vertically integrated and comprise of professionals with many years of experience in the real estate sector and ensures that Group operations, follow high standards of governance, procedures and documentation. The Group's highly experienced management team monitors the industry movements in their respective markets and globally to understand the impact of variables such as interest rates, investor demand, occupier demand, consumer demand and hospitality trends on the Group's portfolio and potential opportunities under consideration.
The business in which BCRE is engaged inevitably involves risks. Hoxsever. as mentioned in this Section 1.9 and other sections, the Company makes continuous efforts to balance and mitigate these risks through, among others, the use of different transaction and investment structuring methods. The Group has formulated guidelines for adhering to various compliance requirements and has implemented those through internal codes and regulations to ensure laws and regulations are adhered to.

The Risk Appetite of the Group varies from zero to low depending on the risk category as follows:

1.9.2 Business Strategic & Operational — Real Estate Activity Risks
The key business risk factors relating to the strategy and operating activities aspect of the Group relating to the real estate activity risks include the following:
Risks relating to the real estate sector
The Group is exposed to a number of specific real estate factors, including all of the risks inherent in the business of acquiring, developing, owning. managing and using real estate, changes in laws and governmental regulations. property valuations and fluctuations in the property' markets generally and in the local markets where the Group operates. Ifany of these factors were to materialise and be adverse, they could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition and prospects. Liquidity of real estate assets differs substantially between markets, asset classes and between development and investment and during the development stage. Many of the Group's assets are less liquid due to their location (partly in emerging markets), type (requiring intensive management and/or deterring institutional investors) and their stage of development (particularly in relation to uncompleted developments). Such illiquidity may affect the Group's ability to dispose of or liquidate some projects in a timely fashion and at satisfactory prices in response to changes in the economic environment, the local real estate market or other factors. This illiquidity shortcoming might become especially limiting in case ofa financial crisis, where in addition to the natural illiquidity of the underlying asset, the crisis itself is typically characterized by a sharp drain in liquidity. The Group operates in highly competitive markets for investment opportunities. Competition in the real estate markets in the countries in which the Group invests may reduce investment opportunities and affect sale prices and occupancy and rental rates of the Group's properties.
The Group carries out continuous high-level reviews and research of the real estate sector in the markets in which it is present to ensure that it understands the opportunities they offer and reviews it ¶XiFijPOttfolio in line with the market movements. Regular interaction and updates are presented by the lo : onty management to gauge economic trends and analyse its impact on the Group's portfolio. Tb &%u1WE9l42t5 LLP

the markets where the Group operates are vertically integrated and comprise professionals with many years of experience in the real estate sector. According to the new strategic plan the Group follows a de-risk. deleverage and improving its balance-sheet quality, reducing asset exposure policy.
Risks relating to the Group's business
The Group's financial performance depends, amongst other things, on the economic situation in the markets in which it operates. There is uncertainty, and there will always be uncertainty, regarding whether real estate markets in these countries will continue to develop, or develop at the rate anticipated by the Group. or that the market trends anticipated by the Group will materialise.
The Group's portfolio suffers from a relatively high exposure level to large developments and re developments, which are. a conversion project (as well as another large potential conversion project) in Manhattan, New York, United States (the Company's equity value as of December 2017 is approximately €36 million and a retail and wholesale market development project in Kazan, Russia (the Company's part in the loss for 2017 is approximately €10 million). A deterioration in any of these projects or global and I or local markets or economies, as well as the Group's failure to achieve its business objectives in any of them, might have a material negative effect on the Group's value, business and prospects. The Group's revenues from retail properties. Manhattan Hotels, and multifamily residential properties are exposed to the risk of changes in retail economic conditions, fluctuations in the value, occupancy levels, regulation and other factors.
The Group relies on its years of experience across asset classes and across geographies in which it is operating to manage the risks associated with the industry. The Group's highly experienced management team monitors the industry movements in their respective markets and globally to understand the impact of variables such as interest rates, investor demand, occupier demand, consumer demand and hospitality trends on our portfolio and potential opportunities under consideration. In accordance with the new strategic plan of BCRE, it has been decided that (i) no new investments in emerging markets will be undertaken, (ii) if new investment opportunities arise, which have abnormally low risk profiles — especially when taking advantage of Group's key proficiencies — consider to invest, (iii) reduce exposure to stabilized assets in the US and (iv) when possible. without a fire sale, reduce exposure to emerging markets and non-core assets/non-core sectors,
Risks relating to proper!' development
The real estate development projects executed by the Group require significant capital outlays for the land acquisition, the obtaining of various permits and investment preparation as well as during the construction stages. The Company's pan in future development cost (to be incurred over the next few years assuming 720 West End Avenue project may potentially be developed) in the Company's current development assets is currently estimated at around US\$160 million (under the assumption that all developments are completed and none are sold). Hence, a 10% — 15% cost overrun in all ofthe development would result in an additional cost of around US\$16 million — US\$24 million. The decision whether 720 West End Avenue project may be potentially developed is subject to the market conditions and depending on the prevailing financing availability and construction financing terms at the time of such future decision. In case of a development there may be a demand of an additional equity investment. This project represents a relatively high proportion of the Company's NAy, and as such, creates an inherent exposure to a single property.
Due to (inter alia) extensive financing requirements and long market exposure during the development, such ventures are typically associated with considerable, and multifaceted, risks. The Group relies on subcontractors for all of its construction and development activities. If the Group cannot enter it t)ntid1eduracting arrangements on terms acceptable to it or at all, the Group will incur additional costs ' PI°2 adverse effect on its business. The revenue stream in the business plan of developments is difficult to pro5ect

long term, and estimation thereolexposes the Group to significant fluctuations to the projected profitability of a development project. Sites that meet the Group's criteria must be zoned for the activity designated in the business plan (such as retail, residential or any other relevant designation). In instances where the existing zoning is not suitable or in which the zoning has yet to be determined, the Group will apply for the required zoning classifications. If the Group does not receive zoning approvals or if the procedures for the receipt of such zoning approvals are delayed, the Group's costs will increase, which will have an adverse effect on the Group's business.
The Group works across its platforms with strong and experienced management teams and keeps control over most of its projects. Project execution is controlled through in-house teams and performed through contractors / sub-contractors with proven track-records. The Group. with years of experience, maintains regular engagement with relevant authorities at regional level to ensure development proposals are in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Risks associated with the Group's investment property business
The Group's operations include the letting of business premises for commercial purposes and letting of residential units to occupiers. lfthe premises intended for this purpose are not completed on time, are different from those stipulated in the lease agreements. or are damaged, the Group may be exposed to the risk which may have a material adverse effect on the operations. financial standing or results of the Group. The Group may be subject to the risk in maintenance of the properties and increases in operating and other expenses. The Group may also take on additional costs and liabilities associated with existing lease obligations, and is dependent on attracting third parties to enter into lease agreements.
iThe Group continuously monitors its exposure to key tenants across income generating properties. including upcoming vacancies and breaks. It undertakes comprehensive analysis of the market in which properties are located with a deep understanding of market terms (such as rent, breaks, and tenant incentives.) and compare those with the Group's properties to see the advantage and potential value addition the Group's properties offer. The Group makes sure that its properties are offering competitive terms in the market and tenants are given incentives to continue their engagement with the Group. The Group's properties are managed internally through its dedicated highly experienced teams in order to keep control over the operations.
Risks related to Changes in macroeconomic conditions
Real estate in general, and the Group's property portfolio in particular, are exposed to changes in the macroeconomic environment, as was strongly evidenced by the sharp negative impact of the downtum in Russia on the groups operation, performance. and assets. The Company analysed and identified what it currently believes to be a relatively disconcerting combination of global conditions. including (i) interest rate environment (negative nominal and real rates in Europe, very flat curve in the US, historically tight junk bond spreads) (ii) inflated valuations in major asset classes (equities, fixed income, real estate and more) (iii) high levels of global debt combined with deteriorating debt underwriting quali and a high level of debt derivatives held by banks and non-banking institutions (iv) exceedingly unsettling debt and property markets situation in China (v) an evident, announced, trend of reduction in global quantitative easing (especially by the Fed and ECB, and more recently Bank of Japan) a new, (vi) multiple end-of- cycle evidence in the US combined with ETE trade dominance and crisis untested trade strategies such as risk parity and low volume (vii) disturbing indications of disregard to risk in asset pricing globally, similar to those seen in 2006-2007.

1.9.3 Business Strategic & Operational — Geographic Risks
The key business risk factors relating to the strategy and operating activities aspect of the Group relating to the geographic risks include the following:
Risks related to the geographic markets in iihich the Group operates
The Group is subject to various risks related to its operations in Russia and India. including economic and political instability, political and criminal corruption and the lack of experience and unpredictability of the civil justice system. Operating in developing economies may be subject to various risks, which may include instability or changes in national or local government authorities, land expropriation, changes in taxation legislation or regulation, changes in the terms and conditions of permits, changes to business practices or customs, changes to laws and regulations relating to currency repatriation and limitations on the level of foreign investment or development.
The Group, while operating in its markets ensures that its operations, follow high standards of governance, procedures and documentation. In order to achieve this, the Group utilises its years of experience and operations across geographies, and avails services of top professional advisors in each of the markets it operates. Accordina to the new strategic business plan. the Group wiLL dispose its investment in emerging markets.
Risks related to the how/portfolio ofthe Group
The Group's revenues from hotel properties are exposed to the risk of changes in economic conditions, lodging demand, fluctuations in the value, occupancy levels and daily room rate. The hotel portfolio in which the Group has an interest in. is subject to certain risks common to the hotel industry. The Group currently has interests in one hotel development property in Manhattan (regarding which a sale contract was signed after the reporting period) and two operating hotels in Manhattan. The Group's operations and the results of its operations are subject to a number of factors that could adversely affect its business, many of which are common to the hotel industry and beyond the Group's control. The impact of any of these factors (or a combination of them) may adversely affect room rates and occupancy levels in the Group's hotels, or otherwise cause a reduction in the Group's rental streams generated from its hotel properties. Such factors (or a combination of them) may also adversely affect the value of the Group's hotels and in either such case would have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks related to Changes hi the Manhattan residential Condo
The Group has a relatively high exposure to 90 Morton Street. a Manhattan development project. and 720 West End Avenue. a Manhattan investment property. ifpotentially will be developed as described above, but whose value is correlated to the Manhattan condo market prices. The values and potential profits from both assets may drop in case of a continuing decrease in the demand and / or sale prices of Manhattan residential condo market — in particular the luxury segment. One of the potential causes for such future decreases may be a decline in the availably of retail acquisition mortgages and! or a continuing increase in the interest rates on such mortgages. As a result, the values of the two projects is also dependent upon the terms of mortgages.
Risks relating to the Group 's operations in Russia
Supported by the pickup in energy prices, several 2017 macroeconomic indicators seem olpWldd positive tailwinds to the Russia economy in general and the Russian median household and cons These indicators include resumed growth (albeit still relatively below at sub 2%), redu td inflation,

reasonable fiscal spending and substantially increasing foreign exchange reserves. The Central Bank of the Russian Federation has gradually reduced the interest rules from a crisis high of 17% to the current 7.25% and Russia has successfully raised sovereign bonds in the international markets. Retail sales continued to decline during the first half of 2017 even after economic GDP growth resumed. but that lag has ended, and retail sales has been growing in the past few months — at a modest year on year pace. The Company's management views the change in trend as positive, but moderate at best, and foresees the Russian consumer market to remain under pressure for a longer period, as households gradually rebuild their net worth. Most recently the latest rounds of US sanctions added sharp downwards pressure on both Russia capital markets and currency. SCRE is carefully monitoring the situation, which can potentially dent the fragile economic recovery. The Group may be subject to various risks relating to the imposition of additional rounds of sanctions by various regimes on Russia. Such sanctions currently include, among others, the imposition of visa bans, the blocking of property and interests in property, trade and investment restrictions and other sanctions including sectoral sanctions against state owned banks and capital raises in the EU and the US.
The economic deterioration in Russia impacted the overall operations of our Russian assets during the period and resulted in their reduction of valuation of our assets.
The Group is operating with a hands-on approach in Russia with its local team. The Group's management is closely monitoring developments at macro level in Russia and at micro level in its assets. The local team in Russia continue to work closely on the ground with tenants in Group's properties. In light of the overall economic situation, necessary adjustments to be made with tenants are continuing.
1.9.3 Financial risks — Interest Rate Currency
The Company's key financial risks and risk factors relating to the financial position of the Group regarding the interest rates and currency risks can be summarised as follows:
The Group mm' be subject to hr/crest rate risk
To the extent that the Group incurs floating rate indebtedness, changes in interest rates may increase its cost of borrowing, impacting on its profitability and having an adverse effect on the Group's free cash flow, property valuation and the Group's ability to pay interest and principal (as the case may be) under the bonds issued by the Group and other loans.
Currently the Group undertakes various hedging arrangements, including interest rate swaps and caps. but it does not fully hedge against interest rate fluctuations. In the case of interest rate swap arrangements. a reduction of the relevant market interest rates would cause the market value of the swap contract to become negative, with a corresponding negative effect of the Group's net value.
As mentioned above in 1.9.2, the negative impact of rising interest rate is not limited to direct increased borrowing cost. There is also a potential correlation between rising rates and property values — in particular income producing assets. Thus, an increase in rates may reduce the values of the Group's property portfolio in the US.
For further details regarding the impact on Group's profitability from changes on the interest rates, please refer to Note 28 in the explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements.
The Group is exposed to changes injbreign currency exchange rates Initialed

Ernst & Young Accountants LLP The Group's reporting currency is the Euro but a number of the Group's subsidiaries and filhiates operate in
jurisdictions outside the Eurozone. In many of the Group's properties and developments, particularly in the US. Russia and India. the entire cash flow oftlie project is denominated in non-Euro currencies, including the purchase of a plot or property, all the investment, development and operating costs, financing and revenues. The exchange rates between these currencies and the Euro may fluctuate significantly. Weakening of one or more of these non-Euro currencies against the Euro, and in particular the US dollar, may have a negative impact on the financial position of the Group and its results of operations.
The Group seeks to reduce these risks by matching, in each project, the currency denomination of its principal liabilities (financing and construction) and its principal sources of revenue (sale proceeds and rentals). Where such matching is not possible. the exposure of the Group to changes in currency exchange rates is even higher and may adversely affect flmher the Group's profits and cash flows. In some cases, the Group may succeed in matching the currency in lease agreements to the currencies of the loans (for example. both may be in US dollars for a Russian retail project), but the income of the tenant would still be in local currency (Russian rouble in that example). In such cases, a weakening of the local currency, while legally not affecting the tenant's obligation to pay in US dollars, would reduce his profitability and weaken his ability to pay rent, thus creating for the Group an additional, indirect, exposure to changes in the local exchange rates. This phenomenon occurred most recently in Russia, whereby the ability to pay rent of tenants with leases denominated in US dollars have been severely compromised by the strong devaluation in the Russian rouble I US dollar rate of exchange. creating a situation where BCRE Russia — as most other landlords — had no choice but to reduce the required payment to adjust to the market reality. There is also a risk due to a US dollar denominated loan and income which is inherently linked to the Rouble: if the Rouble weakens, the equivalent value of the income in US dollar terms is reduced, but the obligation to repay the principal remains constant. Additionally, the loan coverage ratio (the rent divided by the loan) is reduced.
For further details regarding the impact on Group's profitability from changes in the exchange rates, please refer to Note 26 in the explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Risks relating to the Group 'a borrowings
The Group's borrowings and any outstanding bonds issued by the Company could have a significant impact on the Group's business, financial condition an&or results of operations. Until December 2018, approximately €18 million will be fully redeemed under the Series A Notes. The Group has fully redeemed its Series B and C as of the date of this Annual Report.
The Group's existing bank borrowings could have a significant impact on the Group's business, financial condition and/or results of operations. The ability of the Group to operate its business largely depends on being able to raise funds. There can be no assurance that the Group will be able to find lenders who are willing to lend on similar terms to those which apply to existing financing arrangements, or at all, or that existing financing arrangements will be able to be refinanced on similar terms, or at all, upon maturity. The Group operates at a certain level of leverage which it assesses to be suitable to its needs. An increase in the leverage could cause the risk leveL of the Group's business to increase.
However, the Group maintains relationships with a wide range of both banking and non-banking institutions/lenders, in each of its markets. Long-term relationships established in our main market the US. assists the Group to achieve financing for its assets. Also the Group reviews and analyses the maturity of all the loan facilities at least twice a year and take decisions accordingly.
For further details on the bonds issued by the Company, please refer to Note 18 in the exph ntgb1tlledes to the consolidated financial statements. foro Ofl

1.9.5 Financial Reporting and Compliance Risks related to regulation and taxation issues
The Company's key financial reporting and compliance risks relating to taxation and regulation compliance risks of the Group can be summarised as follows:
Risks relating to the Group '.c Financial Reporting
The Group operates across many financial jurisdictions and ensuring that all financial departments within the Group are reporting based on the same financial policies and delivering the same quality of reporting with trained, experienced finance staff is very important. The consolidated financial reports of the Group are being prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union (IFRS as adopted by the EU). A material misrepresentation of the Group's financial performance and reports may cause restatements on the financial reports which can have severe impact on the Group's reputation.
Some important risks which are associated with the preparation of the financial reports of the Group are the revenue recognition (revenues may be subject to improper recognition. inflating or misappropriating). the measurement of the fair value of investment property and investment property under construction and the meeting of the loan covenants.
Maintaining a sound financial control system over the financial reporting, setting up clear accounting policies within the Group and hiring professional finance staff to ensure to reduce the risk that the financial reporting does not contain any errors of material importance. In addition, the risk that the properties in the Group's portfolio are incorrectly valued is mitigated by executing all property valuations by internationally reputed external appraisers. All the properties of the Group are being appraised once a year and if market conditions change the properties of the Group are being appraised every 6 months.
Risks relating to regulation and taxation
The Group currently operates in several highly regulated markets. A variety of laws and regulations of local, regional. national and EU authorities, including planning. zoning. environmental, health and safety, tax and other laws and regulations must be complied with by the Group. If the Group fails to comply with these laws and regulations, it may have to pay penalties or private damage awards. In addition, changes in existing laws or regulations, or their interpretation or enforcement, could require the Group to incur additional costs in complying with those laws, alter its investment strate', operations or accounting and reporting systems, leading to additional costs or loss of revenue, which could materially adversely affect the Group's business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Group and its subsidiaries conduct its business and structure their respective property investments in each relevant country in a manner which, based on professional advice, complies with the regulations and seeks to optimise their respective tax position in those countries.
Please note that the risks that the Company may incur are not limited to the risks as set forth in the Risk Management section. For frirther details, please refer to the Company's bonds prospectus dated 3 March 2016 and the Company's listing prospectus dated 21 May 2014 as available on the Company's website at sw, w.hrack—capital coin.

1.9.6 Risk and Control Framework
The set-up and functioning of the related internal risk management and control systems are periodically evaluated and discussed with the Risk Management Committee, Audit Committee and the Board. The Group's risk management framework is transparent in capturing the main risks which are relevant to the Group's business. Methodologies used in the Group's risk management framework are continuously assessed.
The comprehensive risk and risk framework is divided into three risk areas: business, financial, and legal and regulatory risks. The framework identifies the probability that a risk occurs, the impact and the mitigated actions to be taken.
During 2016. a risk management committee was established by the Board as a committee of the Board with the authority. poers and duties as set out in its terms of reference. The purpose of this committee is to assist the Board in the discharge of its statutory and fiduciary responsibilities of governance, ethics, integrity and risk management. The committee regularly report to the Board and provide assessment of the existing and potential risks, along with the effectiveness of the risk management systems and internal controls.
Among other, the committee has the following responsibilities:
- I. Assisting the Board in formulating a strategic approach for risk management across the Group:
-
- Ensuring that the appropriate tools and processes are in place to identify, asses and manage various risks from strategic and operational perspective:
-
- Ensuring that the appropriate procedures are in place to monitor and review the effectiveness and adequacy of the implementation of risk management procedures;
-
- Review and formulate recommendations to the Board on risks and risk management: and
-
- Consider and recommend to the Board on Group's risk appetite.
The risk management committee created a risk matrix and a control process of continuous updating and monitoring in order to ensure that all major risks are being identified and dealt with on time.
The committee shall be assisted in its work by working subcommittees which are a business risks subcommittee, a financial risks subcommittee and a legal and regulatory subcommittee.

1.10 STATEMENTS
1.10.1 Going concern
The Directors, consisting of Harm Thaker (non-executive), Daniel Aalsvel (non-executive), Michiel Olland (executive) and Luca Tomesani Melotti (non-executive) have reviewed the current and projected financial position of the Group, making reasonable assumptions about future performance. The Board has a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue as in operational existence for at least the next 12 months from the approval orthis annual report. This has led the Board to conclude that it is appropriate to prepare the 2017 financial statements on a going concern basis.
As in previous years, the company bases its assessment, among others, on the current cash balances, including marketable securities, and its available assets as well as considering cash from future operations and transactions. The repayments of the obligations of the Company are likely to be funded by a combination of one or more of the following, existing cash balances, including marketable securities, its ongoing development activity and operations, cash generated from the repayment of certain shareholder's loans by some of the Company's associates/joint ventures, cash generated through sale of certain assets in accordance with the Group's strategy on developed and stabilized projects (like RIG Orchard and Bowery assets held for sale at year end 2017) and on non-core assets, raising bonds and loans or equity transactions within the existing limits, partial refinancing of existing obligations, dividend distributions from associates/joint ventures. The Board regularly reviews and discusses the cash flow forecast and funding. However, although these forecasts have been made with due care, there is always an inherent risk that results will not materialize as forecasted and reality may differ, taking into consideration the risks identified as described in detail in Section 1.9.
'iability statement
In addition to the going concern assessment, the Board has considered the longer4erm viability of its business. Provision C2.2 of the 2016 version of the UK Corporate Governance Code requires that the Board assess the prospects of the Group over an appropriate period of time selected by the Board. The Board has considered whether the Group will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the threeyear period from approval of this annual report, taking into account the Group's current position. strategic plan, business plan and budgets relevant to the Group's projects ("Business Plan") and the main risks stated in section the risk management in Section 1.9 above.
The assessment, which reflects the Group's strategy, Business Plan and associated main risks of the various business units across the Group, is underpinned by a detailed cash flow projection model which is based on a variety of assumptions about the key drivers of profit and cash flow. The cash flow projection model has been subject to sensitivity testing, which involves flexing a number of the main assumptions underlying the Business Plan and evaluation of the potential impact of the Group's main risks. Against these stress scenarios, the potential mitigation actions, which are expected to be available to the Group over the relevant timeframe, have also been considered. The sensitivity testing described above allows testing of the cash flow with respect to the Company's solvency and general performance based on a range of scenarios.
On this basis, the Board has a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they mature over the three-year period from approval of this annual report.
1.10.2 Directors' statement
Initialed The Directors, consisting of Harm Thaker (non-executive). Daniel Aalsvel (non-executiv (executive) and Luca Tomesani Meloui (non-executive), declare that to the best of their kn' wledge the anrj, I report and financial statements, taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and understandable and provide the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Group's performance, business model and strategy.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Basis of preparation:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS") as adopted by the European Union (IERS as adopted by the EU), and with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Netherlands Civil Code.
The Board has reviewed the current and projected financial position of the Group, making reasonable assumptions about future performance. The Board has the expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue as in operational existence for at least the next 12 months from the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements. As in previous years, the Company bases its assessment, among others, on the current cash balances, including marketable securities, and its available assets as well as considering cash from Future operations and transactions. See also Note 28.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cord.)
b. Measurement basis:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, with the exception of financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments) measured at fair value through profit or loss, available for sale financial assets, investment property and property, plant and equipment measured at fair value. The Company has elected to present the consolidated income statement using the function ofexpense method.
c. Consistent accounting policies:
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
- d. Significant accountingjudgments. estimates and assumptions:
- I. Estimates and assumptions:
The preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that have an effect on the application of the accounting policies and on the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed regularly. Changes in accounting estimates are reported in the period of the change in estimate. The key assumptions made in the consolidated financial statements concerning uncertainties at the end of the reporting period and the critical estimates made by the Group are discussed below.
Investment property and property. plant and equipment:
Investment property and property, plant and equipment (measured using revaluation model) are presented at fair value at the reporting date. Changes in its fair value are recognized in profit or loss and revaluation reserve (or profit or loss when related revaluation reserve is nil), respectively.
Fair value is determined generally by external independent valuation specialists using valuation techniques and assumptions as to estimates of projected future cash flows from the property and estimates of the suitable discount rate for these cash flows. When possible. fair value is determined based on recent real estate transactions with similar characteristics and location of the valued property.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont)
- d. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (Cont.):
- Estimates and assumptions (Contj:
- Investment property and property, plant and equipment (Contj:
In determining the fair value of investment property and property, plant and equipment, valuation specialists and the Group's Management are required to use certain assumptions in order to estimate the future cash flows from the properties, the required yield rates on the Group's properties, the future rental rates, occupancy rates, lease renewals, the probability of leasing vacant spaces, property operating expenses, the financial strength of tenants and the implications of any investments for future development. Any change in these assumptions would be affecting the fair value of investment property and property, plant and equipment. See also Note 5.
Determining the fair value of an unquoted financial asset and financial liability:
The fair value of unquoted financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 is determined using valuation techniques including projected cash flows discounted at current rates applicable for items with similar terms and risk characteristics. The projected future cash flows and discount rates are subject to uncertainty and include consideration of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. See also Note 28.
- Judgments:
In the process of applying the significant accounting policies, the Group has made the following judgments which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
Recognizing revenue from management services on a gross or net basis:
In cases where the Group acts as an agent, without bearing any of the risks and rewards derived from the transaction, revenue is presented on a net basis. In contrast, if the Group acts as the principal and bears the risks and rewards derived from the transaction, revenue is presented on a gross basis. Management and consultancy fees are recognized on a gross basis since the Group is acting as the principal. Service charge from tenants is recognized either on a gross or a net basis depending on whether the Group is acting as a principal or as an agent, respectively.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont)
- d. Significant accountingjudgments, estimates and assumptions (Cont.):
-
- Judgments (Corn.):
- Acquisition of subsidiaries that are not business combinations:
According to IFRS 3 "Business combinations at the time of acquisition of subsidiaries and activities, the Group considers whether the acquisition represents a business combination pursuant to IFRS 3. Among other things, the number of assets acquired, the nature of processes involved and whether the management company has been acquired are considered to determine ifan acquisition represents a business combination.
Classification of properties as inventory or as property. plant and equipment or as investment property:
The Group evaluates whether an asset or property should be classified as inventory based on lAS 2, or as property, plant and equipment based on lAS 16 or as investment property based on lAS 40. In particular, an asset is accounted For as an investment property, when it is held to earn rentals, or for capital appreciation, or both.
Classification of investments in associate as a discontinued operation:
The Group evaluates whether an investment in associate should be classified as discontinued operation in accordance with IFRS 5 "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations". During 2017, the Group classified the result of the investment in BCP prior to its sale as discontinued operations after having considered the size of the investment, the fact that the investment was a separate geographical segment. which the Group no longer invests in. and whether it was presented as a separate operating segment prior to the classification. See also note 4.
e. Consolidated financial statements:
Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Potential voting rights are considered when assessing whether an entity has control. The consolidation of the financial statements commences on the date on which control is obtained and ends when such control ceases.
The financial statements of the Company and of its subsidiaries are prepared as of the same dates and periods. The consolidated financial statements are prepa ed using uniform accounting policies by all companies of the Group. Initialed for dent,f,cat,on purposes only

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
e. Consolidated financial statements (Contj:
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are allocated to the equity holders of the parent of the Company and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group were eliminated in full on consolidation.
- f. Functional currency, presentation currency and foreign currency:
-
- Functional currency and presentation currency:
The functional currency is separately determined for each Group's entity and is used to measure its financial position and its operating results. The functional currency of the Company is the Euro. In addition, the consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand (€000), except when otherwise indicated.
When the functional currency ofan entity within the Group differs from the Group's presentation currency that entity represents a foreign operation whose financial statements are translated to the Group's presentation currency so that they can be included in the consolidated financial statements.
Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the end of each reporting period. Profit and loss items are translated at average exchange rates for all the relevant periods. All resulting translation differences are recognized as a separate component of other comprehensive income.
Upon the (partial) disposal of a subsidiary', which disposal results in the loss of control of the subsidiary, the cumulative gain/(loss) recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss, whereas upon the partial disposal of a subsidiary that is a foreign operation which disposal results in the retention of control, the relative portion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests.
- Transactions, assets and liabilities in foreign currency:
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded on initial recognition at the exchange rate as of the date of the transaction. After initial recognition, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the end of each reporting period into the functional currency at the exchange rate as of that date. Exchange differences, other than those capitalized to qualifying assets or carried to equity in hedging transactions, are recognized in profit or loss.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
- f. Functional currency, presentation currency and foreign currency (Contj:
-
- Index-linked monetary items:
The Group has debentures that are linked to the Israeli Consumer Price Index ("Israeli CPI"). Monetary assets and liabilities linked to the changes in the Israeli CPI are adjusted at the relevant index at the end of each reporting period according to the terms of the agreement.
g. Interest in joint arrangements and associates:
Under IFRS II the Group classifies its joint arrangements as joint ventures based on the contractual rights and obligations. A joint venture is a type ofjoint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control ofan arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The Group does not have an interest in a joint operation.
The Group's investments in its associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or ajoint venture is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Group's share of net assets of the associate orjoint venture since the acquisition date. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and associates orjoint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associates and joint ventures.
The Company has adopted the hypothetical liquidation approach in determining the allocation of earnings from certain of its investees. This method has been applied to reflect the waterfall (promote) mechanisms included in the agreements entered into with the co investors in these projects. According to these mechanisms, certain companies ofthe Group are entitled to an additional return, over and above the pro-rata return of the capital invested, in case a project generates the targeted return on the initial capital invested.
The financial statements of associates and joint ventures are prepared for the same reporting period as the other entities consolidated within the Group. Accounting policies have been changed where necessary, to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognize an impairment loss on its investments in associates and joint ventures. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that these investments are impaired. See also h.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont)
g. Interest in joint arrangements and associates (Contj:
Losses ofan associate or ajoint venture in amounts which exceed its equity are recognized by the Group to the extent of its investment in the associate or the joint venture plus any losses that the Group may incur as a result ofa guarantee or other financial support provided in respect of the associate or of the joint venture. The equity method is applied until the loss of significant influence in the associate or loss ofjoint control in the joint venture or upon classification as held-for-sale.
h. Impairment of non-financial assets:
The Group evaluates the need to record an impairment of the carrying amount of non financial assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is not recoverable. If the carrying amount of non-financial assets exceeds their recoverable amount, the assets are reduced to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use.
The following criteria are applied in assessing impairment of investment in associates or joint ventures:
After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognize any additional impairment loss with respect to the investment in associates or joint ventures. The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that the carrying amount of the investment in the associate or the joint venture is impaired. The test of impairment is carried out with reference to the entire investment. including the goodwill attributed to the associate or thejoint venture.
Fair value measurement:
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling the asset to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Fair value measurement (Cont.):
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
- Level I Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,
- Level 2 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable,
- Level 3 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
- j. Borrowing costs in respect of qualifying assets:
The Group capitalizes borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale, comprising of inventories and investment property that require a substantial period of time to bring it to a saleable condition or for its intended use.
The capitalization of borrowing costs commences when expenditures for the asset are being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and ceases when substantially all the activities to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are completed. The amount of borrowing costs capitalized in the reported period includes specific borrowing costs and general borrowing costs based on a weighted capitalization rate.
k. Inventories of buildings and apartments for sale:
Cost of inventories of buildings and apartments for sale comprises identifiable direct costs of land such as taxes, fees and duties and construction costs. The Group also capitalizes borrowing costs as part of the cost of inventories of buildings and apartments for sale from the period in which the Group commenced development of the land. Inventories of buildings and apartments for sale are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of completion and estimated selling costs.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
The operating cycle:
The Group's normal operating cycle is one year. With respect to construction work the operating cycle can last between two and three years. Accordingly, the current assets and current liabilities include items that are held and are expected to be realized by the end of the Group's normal operating cycle. If the operating cycle exceeds one year, the assets and liabilities attributed to this activity are classified in the consolidated statement of financial position as current assets and liabilities based on the operating cycle.
m. Investment property:
Investment property is measured initially at cost, including costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the property. After initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value which reflects market conditions at the end of the reporting period. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss when they arise. Investment property is not systematically depreciated. The fair value model is also applied to property under construction for future use as investment property when fair value can be reliably measured.
Fair value is determined generally by external independent valuation specialists using economic valuations that involve valuation techniques and assumptions as to estimates of projected future cash flows from the property and estimates of the suitable discount rate for these cash flows. Investment property under development also requires an estimate of construction costs. If applicable, fair value is determined based on recent real estate transactions with similar characteristics and location of the valued property.
Transfers are made to (or from) investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from investment property to inventory, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of the change in use. For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of the change in use. Investment property is derecognized on disposal or when the investment property ceases to be used and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal.
n. Property, plant and equipment:
Property, plant and equipment comprise mainly of operating hotels and owner occupied commercial centers which are measured using the revaluation model. Other property, plant and equipment items such as machinery and equipment are measured at cost less depreciation and impairment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the assets, mainly assessed as 30 years, at annual rates. A decrease in value of a revalued asset is recognized directly in other comprehensive income to the extent of any credit balance existing in the revaluation reserve in respect of that asset. Any additiona! reduction, if any, is recognized in profit or loss. If an asset's carrying anpuubjedncreased as a result of the revaluation, the increase is recognized in profit or loss Sm (firknRo5es only Ems & oung Accountants LLP reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized in profit or Iy. Any subsequent increase is recognized in the revaluation reserve.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont)
- o. Financial instruments:
- Financial assets:
Financial assets within the scope of lAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' are initially recognized at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs, except for financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss in respect of which transaction costs are recorded in profit or loss.
a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss:
The Group has financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprising of financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Some hybrid contracts contain both a derivative and a non-derivative component. In such cases. the derivative component is termed an embedded derivative, with the nonderivative component representing the host contract.
b) Loans and receivables:
The Group has loans and receivables that are financial assets (non-derivative) with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in au active market. After initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured based on their terms at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
c) Available-for-sale financial assets:
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized and subsequently carried at fair value. Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. When securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are sold or impaired the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the consolidated income statement.
- Impairment of financial assets:
The Group assesses, at the end of each reporting period, whether there is any objective evidence of impairment of a financial asset or a group of financial assets as follows:

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
- o. Financial instruments (Coin):
-
- Impairment of financial assets (Contj:
Financial assets carried at amortized cost:
There is objective evidence of impairment of debt instruments and loans and receivables carried at amortized cost as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the estimated Ru tire cash flows.
Assets classified as available-for-sale:
For debt securities, if any evidence of impairment exists the cumulative loss, measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on the financial asset previously recognized in the consolidated income statement, is removed from equity and is recognized in the consolidated income statement. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated income statement, the impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated income statement.
For equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is also evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists, the cumulative loss, measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial assets previously recognized in the consolidated income statement, is removed from equity and recognized in the consolidated income statement.
-
- Financial liabilities:
- a) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost:
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs, After initial recognition. interestbearing loans and borrowings are measured based on their terms at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
b) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities classified as held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Initialed

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
- o. Financial instruments (Cont.):
-
- Offsetting financial instruments:
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
-
- Derecognition of financiat instruments:
- a) Financial assets:
A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the Group has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or assumes an obligation to pay the cash flows in full without material delay to a third party.
1,) Financial liabilities:
A financial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished. that is when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or expired. A financial liability is extinguished when the debtor (the Group) discharges the liability by paying in cash, other financial assets, goods or services, or is legally released from the liability. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated income statement.
p. Trade and other receivables:
Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. An impairment loss is recorded when collection of the amount is no longer probable.
q. Cash and short-term deposits:
Cash and short-term deposits in the consolidated statement of cash flows comprise cash at banks and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont)
r. Provisions:
A provision in accordance with lAS 37 is recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
s. Revenue recognition:
The specific criteria for revenue recognition for the following types of revenues are:
Revenues from the sale of residential units:
Revenues from the sale of residential units are recognized when the principal risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer. Revenues are recognized when significant uncertainties regarding the collection of the consideration no longer exist, the related costs are known and there is no continuing managerial involvement with the residential unit delivered. These criteria are usually met when construction has effectively been completed, the residential unit has been delivered to the buyer and the buyer has paid the entire consideration for the unit.
Rental income from operating lease:
Rental income is recognized on a straight-Line basis over the Lease term. Increases in rent over the term of the contract are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the lease period. The aggregate cost of lease incentives granted is recognized as a reduction of rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Interest income:
Interest income on financial assets is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest method.
Reporting revenues using gross basis or net basis:
In cases where the Group acts as an agent without being exposed to the risks and rewards associated with the transaction, revenues are presented on a net basis. However, in cases where the Group operates as a principal supplier and is exposed to the risks and rewards associated with the transaction, revenues are presented on a gross basis. Service revenues include, inter alia. real-estate tax, water supply. cleaning, electricity, heating.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
t. Non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale and discontinued operations:
Non-currents assets or disposal groups are classified as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. For this to be the case, the assets must be available for immediate sale in their present condition, the Group must be committed to sell, there must be a program to locate a buyer and it is highly probable that a sale will be completed within one year from the date of classification. From the date of such initial classification, these assets are no longer depreciated and are presented separately as current assets at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Other comprehensive income in respect ofan asset or a group of non-current assets that are classified as held for sale is presented separately in equity. An entity that is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control ofa subsidiary classifies all the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary as held for sale when the criteria set in the standard are met, regardless of whether the entity will retain a non-controlling interest in its former subsidiary after the sale.
A discontinued operation represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operation that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. The operating results relating to the discontinued operation are presented separately in the consolidated income statement, net of the tax effect.
u. Leases:
The basis for classifying leases as finance or operating depend on the substance of the agreements. Classification is made at the inception of the lease in accordance with the following principles as set out in lAS 17.
The Group as lessee:
Finance leases:
Finance leases transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased asset. At the commencement of the lease term, the leased assets are measured at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments.
Operating leases:
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

NOTE 2;- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
u. Leases (Contj:
The Group as lessor:
Operating leases:
Lease agreements where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership ofthe leased asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income is recognized in the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
v. Business combinations:
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Under this method. the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. The cost of the acquisition is the aggregate fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the acquirer on the date of acquisition. In respect of business combinations, non-controlling interests are measured at fair value on the acquisition date or at the proportionate share of the non-controlling interests in the acquiree's net identifiable assets. For business combinations, direct acquisition costs are recognized as an expense in the consolidated income statement.
Acquisitions of subsidiaries that are not business combinations:
Upon the acquisition of subsidiaries and activities that do not constitute a business, the consideration paid is allocated among the acquiree's identifiable assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values on the acquisition date and without attributing any amount to goodwill or to deferred taxes. The non-controlling interests, if any. participate at their relative share of the fair value of the net identifiable assets on the acquisition date.
w. Taxes on income:
Taxes on income in the consolidated income statement comprise current and deferred taxes. Current or deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that the tax arises from items which are recognized directly in other comprehensive income or in equity.
I. Current taxes:
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Initialed

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cant.)
- w. Taxes on income (Contj:
-
- Deferred taxes:
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting dale and are expected to apply when the related tax asset is realized or the liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset ifa legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
x. Share based payment transactions:
The Group's employees and other service providers are entitled to remuneration in the form of equity-settled share-based payment transactions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date. The fair value is determined using a standard option pricing model.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized in profit or loss, together with a corresponding increase in equity, during the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are to be satisfied and ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.
y. Earnings per share:
Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profitl(loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Basic earnings/(losses) per share only include shares which were actually outstanding during the period. Potential ordinan' shares are only included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when their conversion decreases earnings per share or increases the loss per share from continuing operations.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont)
z. Convertible loans and bonds:
Convertible loans and bonds issued by the Company are classified as equity if there is no contractual obligation for the Company to deliver cash or any other financial asset tinder the terms of the loans.
- aa. Disclosure of main new standards effective in future periods:
- IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers':
IFRS 15 ("the new Standard") was issued by the IASB in May 2014.
The new Standard replaces lAS 18 "Revenue", lAS II "Construction Contracts", IFRIC 13 "Customer Loyalty Programs", IFRIC 15 "Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate", IFRIC 18 "Transfers of Assets from Customers" and SIC-] I "Revenue - Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services".
The new Standard introduces a five-step model that will apply to revenue earned from contracts with customers. The new Standard will be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on I January 2018.
lFRS 15 will only be affecting revenues from the sale of residential units. Other revenue streams, like rental income, earned interest and income from lending activities are either outside the scope of IERS 15 or are immaterial for the consolidated financial statements.
Service charge income and management fee income relate to services provided and paid on a short-term basis. i.e. usually on a monthly basis and therefore no impact is expected regarding these revenue streams. Service charge from tenants is recognized either on a gross or a net basis depending on whether the Group is acting as a principal or as an agent. respectively. The Group evaluated the impact of the application of TERS IS on the basis of recognition of these revenue streams. i.e. on whether the Group is acting as a principal or as an agent and does not expect any material impact from the application of the new standard.
The Group currently recognizes revenue from the sale of residential units, according to lAS 18 and IFRIC IS, when the unit is delivered to the customer. According to the new Standard, the Group considered whether revenues can be recorded over time or whether revenues shall be recorded at a point in time (similar to current treatment). As at 3! December2017, the Company through indirect subsidiaries in USA. entered into financing agreements with individual lenders that provide to the lenders the option to convert the amounts advanced to the subsidiaries to designated units in the residential building acquired by dillerent Company's subsidiaries, in case that these projects will be potentially developed (where no decision about ature use has been Initialed taken). for identification purposes only

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (ConL)
- aa. Disclosure of main new standards eftective in future periods (Contj:
- IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Cont.):
Following the assessment performed, the Group concluded that as per the terms of these existing agreements there are no sale contracts in place and sale contracts can only be signed following the exercise of the conversion options by the individual lenders. Thus, the Group believes that the application of the new Standard will not affect materially the consolidated financial statements.
Finally, the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements under IFRS 15 may be different than the current disclosures. In this respect. the Company is preparing for the new enhanced disclosures under IFRS 15.
- IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments":
In July 2014, the IASB issued the final and complete version of IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" ("IFRS 9"), which replaces lAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement". IFRS 9 mainly focuses on the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. Furthermore, the basis of conclusions with regard to the accounting for modification of financial liabilities was clarified. The Group evaluated the effects ofthe adoption of IERS 9 and will adopt IFRS 9 retrospectively as of 1 January 2018 by using the retrospective modified approach.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities and modifications:
The initial application of IFRS 9 will impact the Group's accounting treatment for modification of financial liabilities without this resulting in derecognition of bank loans obtained for the Group's projects in Russia, a process initiated during the year ended 31 December 2016. Under lAS 39, no gain or loss was recognized at the date of the modification of the loans' terms, instead the difference between the original and modified cash flows was amortized over the remaining term of the modified liability by re-calculating the effective interest rate. Under IFRS 9 gains or losses should be recognized recognised in profit or loss. These gains or losses, under IFRS 9, will be calculated as the difference between the original contractual cash flows and the modified cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Thus. the initial application of IFRS 9 will result in an increase of 56.9 million (€5.8 million) in the Group's total equity as of I January 2018, a decrease in interest bearing loans and other borrowings of S7.2 million (€6 million), an increase in investment in associate ofSl.l million (€0.9 million) and an increase in deferred tax liability of \$1.4 million (€1.2 million).

- IERS 9 "Financial Instruments" (Cont.):
Classification and measurement of financial assets:
Regarding the classification and measurement of financial assets, the Group concluded that the impact of the requirements of IFRS 9 will be immaterial, as the classification and measurement of the Group's financial assets (marketable securities and other short-term investments, other investments and loans and trade and other receivables) under the new standard will be consistent with the current classification.
Marketable securities and other short-term investments relate to investments in equity shares which will continue to be measured as fair value through profit and loss.
Other investments and loans represent loans with specified cash flows of principal and accrued interest. These facilities are held by the Group for collecting the contractual cash flows, rather than selling it prior to maturity date. Therefore, these financial assets vill be continued to be measured at amortized cost. Trade and other receivables are also held for collecting the contractual cash flows and thus these will be also continued to be measured at amortized cost.
For the loans provided to associate companies and joint ventures, there will be a change in classification but no material impact is expected since the relevant loan agreements do not include certain contractual terms which give rise to cash flows on specific dates.
Regarding the items included within the available for sale financial assets category, the Company will undertake the option provided by IFRS 9 to designate these items as fair value through other comprehensive income.
Impairment of financial assets:
Finally, the impact of the requirements of IFRS 9 for the impairment of financial assets - based on expected losses instead of incurred losses as under lAS 39 - was considered to be immaterial, as following the application of the new model for measurement of impairment of financial assets provided by the standard, the expected credit losses for all the material financial assets of the Group are expected to be approximately equal to nil. This conclusion was reached after assessing the credit risk, the probability of default aiid the value of the pledged securities of the financial assets which fall under the scope of the new impairment model.

- IFRS 16 "Leases":
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 'Leases" ("the new Standard'). According to the new Standard, a lease isa contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
According to the new Standard:
- Lessees are required to recognize an asset and a corresponding liability in the statement of financial position in respect of all leases (except in certain cases) similar to the accounting treatment of finance leases according to the existing lAS 17 "Leases".
- Lessees are required to initially recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a corresponding right-of-use asset. Lessees will also recognize interest and depreciation expense separately.
- • Variable lease payments that are not dependent on changes in the Consumer Price Index or interest rates, but are based on performance or use (such as a percentage of revenues) are recognized as an expense by the lessees as incurred and recognized as income by the lessors as earned.
- • The accounting treatment by lessors remains substantially unchanged, namely classification ofa lease as a finance lease or an operating lease.
The new Standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after I Januan' 2019.
The Group has signed lease contracts, whereby is acting as the lessee, for the lease of land for certain projects. Regarding these projects, all the properties held under leases are presented at fair value. In this respect, the application of the new requirements of IFRS 16 regarding lessees, are not relevant to the consolidated financial statements as all lease payments are already reflected in the asset's fair value. Under the new Standard all leases will be presented in the consolidated statement of financial position. as if the leases were finance leases. Since, as explained above under lAS 17, the Group also chose to present its investment properties under operating leases, in accordance with the fair value model under lAS 40, the new Standard will not have an effect on the financial position of the Group and on the consolidated financial statements. It should be noted that all the land amounts are immaterial.
The Group will complete in 2018 the analysis around the appl clfllLl@ø the new Standard, which is currently not expected to have a mater a jj47 POSES consolidated financial statements.

- Amendments to lAS 40 "Investment Property" -Transfers of Investment Property:
In December 2016. the IASB issued amendments to lAS 40 "Investment Property" ("Amendments"). The Amendments provide guidance and clarifications on the application of the provisions of lAS 40 regarding transfers to or from investment property. The Amendments clarify that a change in management's intention, in and of itself, does not evidence a change in use. The Amendments are to be applied retrospectively in the financial statements for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2018. The Amendments allow application using a partial retrospective basis, according to which the Amendments are to be applied to transfers that occurred in the period of initial application with no restatement of comparative data. In this situation, the adjustments to the carrying amounts of the assets as of the date of initial application of the Amendments will be recorded directly in equity.
Management has evaluated the possible effects of the Amendments and expects that there will be no impact on the consolidated financial statement following the application of these Amendments.
- IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments" ("I ERIC 23"):
In June 2017. the lASS issued IFRIC 23 which clarifies the application of the recognition and measurement requirements of LAS 12 "Income Taxes" when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. IFRIC 23 specifically addresses the following:
- a) Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately.
- b) The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities.
- c) How an entity determines taxable proflt/(taxable loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates.
- d) How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances.
- e) IFRIC 23 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after I January 2019.
The Group is currently assessing the potential effects, if any. of IFRIC 23 on its consolidated financial statements.
ab. New standards, amendments and interpretations applicable for annual periods beginning on I January 2017:
The Group applied for first time certain amendments to the standards, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after I January 2017.

NOTE 4:- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
a. Sale of entire holding in BCP:
On 23 May 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party for the sale of all the shares held by the Group in the issued and outstanding share capital of BCP, representing a holding of 27.83% as of that date.
On 14 June 2017, the Company completed the above transaction for a total gross consideration of approximately N1S695 million (approximately €174.8 million). Until the date of disposal and following the deconsolidation of BCP on 30 September 2016, the Company has accounted for its investment in BCP using the equity method of accounting. Since the investment in BCP was significant based on its size and the fact that it was presented as an operating segment prior to its disposal, the Group concluded that the investment is BCP should be considered as a discontinued operation.
The net profit from discontinued operations of€4.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2017 was comprised by the profit from the operations of BCP until the disposal date amounting to €16.7 million less loss from the sale amounting to €11.8 million, all which is included within "Profit from discontinued operations, net" in the consolidated income statement. See Note 4c.

NOTE 4:- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS (Cont.)
b. Loss of control in BCP during 2016 (Corn.):
Following and taking into consideration the new size of the Group's holding in the voting rights of BCP. relative to the size and dispersion of the holdings of the other shareholders of BCP and the uncertainty on whether the rights being held by the controlling shareholder can further enable the Group to exercise the majority of the voting power that participates in the shareholders' meetings of BCP, the Group concluded that from 28 September 2016 onwards, the de facto control over BCP was lost. Thus, from this date onwards, the Group has accounted for its investment in BCP using the equity method of accounting. It should be noted that to the best knowledge of the Group, the deconsolidation of BCP is not expected to have an effect on the classification of the controlling shareholders of BCP, in accordance with the applicable Israeli securities law, 1968.
As a result of the loss of control over BCP, and based on the related requirements of IFRS 10, the Group had derecognized the entire 34.76% investment in BCP and remeasured the remaining slake initially at fair value on the date 'then control was lost. The fair value was based on the share price ofthe BCP share, listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE") on that date. As a result, the Group recognized a gain of €43.8 million in its consolidated financial statements, included in the consolidated income statement within "Profit from discontinued operations. net". The gain is exempt from corporation tax. Part from the gain due to re-measurement of remaining investment in BCP at fair value related to the Group's direct holding in a BCP's investment which was recorded as "Available-for-sale financial assets". This direct investment was measured at fair value resulting in a gain of €1.7 million, included within "Profit from discontinued operations, net". See Note 4c. The fair value of the Group's direct holding in the BCP's inve5tment as at 31 December 2017 amounted to €9.1 million (2016: €8.8 million). 6 739 shareholding disposal) (4) _____________ ___________
BCRE's share of the results of BCP after the deconsolidation up until 31 December 2016 was recorded within "Profit from discontinued operations, net".

d. Reconciliation of fair value (Contj:
Sensitivity analysis to significant changes in unobservable inputs within Level 3 of the hierarchy:
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy of the portfolios of investment property are (a) the Estimated Rental Value ("ERV"). (b) the rent growth. (c) the discount rate and (d) the cap rate. Significant increases/(decreases) in the ERV (per sq mift per annum) and the rent growh per annum in isolation would result in a significantly higher/(lower) fair value measurement. Significant increases/(decreases) in the cap rate and discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower/a igher) fair value measurement. Generally. a change in the assumption made for the ERV (per sq m/ft per annum) is accompanied by a similar change in the rent growth per annum, discount rate and cap rate.
Sensitivity analysis:
The following disclosures demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in the most material relevant variables, with all other variables held constant, of the Group's profit before tax:
- USA:
Regarding residential properties. any change in (lie caphalization rate of 25 points results to a fair value adjustment of \$3.2 million (€2.6 million). Also, any 10% change in the estimated average net rental income per sq ft results to a fair value adjustment of\$l3.1 million (€10.9 million).
Regarding properties for capital appreciation, any change of\$l00 per sq ft in the projected net sellout per sq ft results to a fair value adjustment of \$16 million (€13.3 million). Also. any change in the discount rate of 100 points results to a fair value adjustment of \$2.2 million (€1.8 million).
- Russia:
Regarding commercial properties, any change in the capitalization rate of 25 points results to a fair value adjustment of \$2.45 million (€2.05 million). Also, any change in the discount rate of 25 points results to a fair value adjustment of \$1.3 million (€1.1 million). Also, any change of 25 points in the estimated average net rental income per sq m per month results to a fair value adjustment of \$1.4 million (€1.2 million).

The Group's activities exposed it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity' 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 Group's management reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of the risks.
Credit risk
Management has a credit policy in place and monitors the exposure to credit risk on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. The Group does not require collateral in respect of financial assets. Customers that fail to meet the Group's benchmark for creditworthiness may transact with the Group only on a prepayment basis. The Group is exposed to credit risk with regard to its trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, restricted deposits and other financial assets (including loans gral ted)., Initialed

NOTE 28:- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Cont.)
Credit risk (Cont.)
The Group's companies regularly monitor the credit status of their customers and debtors and record appropriate provisions for the possibility of losses that may be incurred from the provision of credit, in respect of specific debts for which collection is doubtful. As a result, the Group exposure to bad debts is insIgnificant. Regarding cash and cash equivalents and restricted deposits. the Group ensures that all deposits are kept with highly rated financial institutions. At the reporting date, there were no siificant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is presented by the carrying amount of each financial asset, including derivative financial instruments, in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Liquidity risk
Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and is aggregated by Group's finance. Group's finance monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs and its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, while maintaining sufficient margin at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group's debt financing plans and covenant compliance. Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working capital management is transferred to the Company's cash accounts.
The repayments of the obligations of the Group are likely to be funded by a combination of one or more of the following, existing cash balances, including marketable securities, its ongoing development activity and operations, cash generated from the repayment of certain shareholder's loans by some of the Group's associates/joint ventures, cash generated through sale of certain assets in accordance with the Group's strategy on developed and stabilized projects (like IHG Orchard and Bowen' assets held for sale at year end 2017) and non-core assets, raising bonds and loans or equity transactions ithin the existing limits, partial refinancing of existing obligations and dividend distributions from associates/joint ventures. The Board regularly reviews and discusses the cash flow forecast and funding. However, although these forecasts have been made with due care, there is always an inherent risk that results will not materialize as forecasted and reality may differ, taking into consideration the risks identified as described in detail in Section 1.9 of the Annual report. The tables below summarize the maturity profile of the Group financial liabilities at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016 based on contractual undiscounted payments:

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to risk resulting from changes in cash flows of assets and liabilities bearing variable interest rate because of changes in interest rates. As of3 I December2017, approximately 25% of the Group's interest-bearing loans and borrowings were issued at variable interest rates.
Assets and liabilities issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group hedges most of its financial liabilities by taking loans at fixed interest rate to reduce exposure to interest rate changes and therefore Management considers that the Group is not exposed to any material cash flow interest rate risk.

Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar, the Russian Rouble and the NIS. The Group incurs foreign exchange risk on income, purchases, receivable loans and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the Euro.
The Group has certain investments in foreign operations, whose net assets are exposed to foreign currency transaction risk. Currency exposure arising from the net assets of the Group's foreign operations is mainly managed primarily through borrowings denominated in the relevant foreign currencies.
The Group seeks to reduce its currency risks by matching, in each project, the currency denomination of its principal liabilities (financing and construction) and its principal sources of revenue (sale proceeds and rentals).
Main impact of exchange rate differences for both years related to the variation of the exchange rates between Euro against US dollar, Russian Rouble and NIS. was as follows:
During the year ended 31 December 2017. the strengthening of Euro against US dollar and MS led to the recognition of exchange difference gains following the retranslation at the year end or at the date of settlement of liabilities (mainly interest-bearing loans and borrowings) denominated in these currencies. On the contrary, the strengthening of Euro against US dollar and Russian Rouble led to the recognition of exchange difference losses following the retranslation at the year end of assets (mainly investment properties and inventory) denominated in these currencies.
During the year ended 31 December 2016. the weakening of Euro against L'SD and NIS led to the recognition of exchange difference losses following the retranslation at the year end or at the date of settlement of liabilities (mainly interest-bearing loans and borrowings) denominated in these currencies. On the contrary. the weakening of Euro against US dollar and Russian Rouble led to the recognition of exchange difference gains following the retranslation at the year end of assets (mainly investment properties and inventory) denominated in these currencies. -

Fair valuc (Cord.)
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted deposits and other short-term investments, loans receivables, trade receivables, other accounts receivable, trade payables and other payables and interest-bearing loans and borrowing presented at amortized cost approximates their fair value. The Group's interest-bearing loans and borrowings have been recently obtained from banks and other financial institutions, at market interest rates and terms and therefore Management considers that its currying amounts approximate its fair value as of the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.
Fair value of the quoted debentures is based on price quotations at the reporting date and is classified as Level I in the fair value hierarchy.
As of the data for the determination of the fair value of investment property. see note 5.
Capita! management
For the purpose of the Group's capital management, capital includes issued capital, share premium, convertible bonds and loans and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders ofthe Company. The primary objective ofthe Group's capital management is to maximize the shareholder value.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Group's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to its loans that define capital structure requirements as breaches in meeting the financial covenants might, in some cases, permit the lender to seek for immediate repayment of the defaulting loan. In relation to the financial covenants of financing facilities see Note 30.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure. the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sells assets to reduce debt.

We have also taken misstatements into account and/or possible misstatements that in our opinion are material for the users of the financial statements for qualitative reasons.
We agreed with the board of directors that misstatements in excess of €190 thousand, which are identified during the audit, would be reported to them, as well as smaller misstatements that in our view must be reported on qualitative grounds.
Scope of the group audit
SCRE-Brack Capital Real Estate Investments N.y. is at the head of a group of entities. The financial information of this group is included in the consolidated financial statements of BCRE-Brack Capital Real Estate Investments N.y.
Our group audit mainly focused on significant group entities based on the relative size of the group entity on the total assets, including the size of the investment properties, inventory of land and apartments under construction and interest bearing loans and borrowings. Significant group entities are also determined based on specific risks of material misstatements. The group is organized on a country basis, and its operations are mainly based in the US and Russia, comprising approximately 90% of total assets reported as at 31 December 2017.
The group audit is performed in close cooperation with EY Israel, which performs most of the audit work, by selecting full, specific and limited scope locations, comprising approximately 66%, 30% and 4% of group's total assets reported as at 31 December 2017, respectively. We have reviewed the procedures performed by EN' Israel on the most significant full scope locations in the US and Russia.
By performing the procedures mentioned above at selected group entities and at group level for accounts managed centrally, we have been able to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence about the group's financial information to provide an opinion on the financial statements.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements. We have communicated the key audit matters to the board of directors. The key audit matters are not a comprehensive reflection of all matters discussed. Thepe matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and in forihhe4pinion for ,dentifrcation purposes only thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Ernst & Young Accountants LLP


Following the divestment of the remaining interest in Brack Capital Properties N.y. during 2017, the deconsolidation of this associate, which was reported as a key audit matter last year, is not included anymore as a separate key audit matter for this year.

. Oqaudft approach. I' •:1 1.1 Key observations
Investments and loans to associates and joint ventures (see notes 2 and 7)
The group holds interest in several associates and joint ventures, accounted for using the equity method. In addition, the group granted loans to its investees. At each reporting date the group determines whether there are indicators that these investments are impaired. We have determined that the assessment of possible impairment of investments in investees contains a risk, mainly due to the uncertainty related to the future profitability of their operations and the fact that the investment properties of the investees are valued at fair value.
Furthermore management decided to dispose of certain associates and/or joint ventures and classified these as discontinued operations (sale of Brack Capital Properties NV.) or assets held for sale.
As the recoverability of these investments and loans is dependent on the related real estate projects in these entities, our audit response included the procedures for investment properties that are described in the above key audit matters. We evaluated indicators of impairment and performed audit procedures on the managements impairment analysis. This included testing procedures on the projects' projected cash flows and budgets to ensure collectability of loans granted,
We evaluated management's considerations regarding associates and/or joint ventures classified as discontinued operations or assets held for sale.
We reviewed the adequacy of the disclosures provided in the financial statements.
We concur with management's assessment of impairment related to investments and loans to associates and joint ventures as well as management's assessment of associates and/or joint ventures classified as discontinued operations or as held for sale.
We verified that the Company made appropriate disclosures in the financial statements.
Report on other information included in the annual report
In addition to the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon, the annual report contains other information that consists of:
- The director's report
- Other information pursuant to Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code
Based on the following procedures performed, we conclude that the other information:
- Is consistent with the financial statements and does not contain material misstatements
- Contains the information as required by Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code
We have read the other information. Based on our knowledge and understanding obtained through our audit of the financial statements or otherwise, we have considered whether the other information contains material misstatements. By performing these procedures, we comply with the r,ji5pgents of Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code and the Dutch Standard 720. The scope of thE purposes only performed is less than the scope of those performed in our audit of the financial stater iJfit.& Young Accountants LLP


Management is responsible for the preparation of the other information, including the Director's report in accordance with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code and other information pursuant to Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
Engagement
We were engaged by the board of directors as auditor of BCRE-Brack Capital Real Estate Investments N.y. on 2 February 2015, as of the audit for the year 2014, and have operated as statutory auditor ever since that date.
No prohibited non-audit services
We have not provided prohibited non-audit services as referred to in Article 5(1) of the EU Regulation on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities.
Description of responsibilities for the financial statements
Responsibilities of the board of directors for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with EU-IFRS and Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. Furthermore, management is responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
As part of the preparation of the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the financial reporting frameworks mentioned, management should prepare the financial statements using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Management should disclose events and circumstances that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in the financial statements.
The non-executive members of the board of directors are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objective is to plan and perform the audit assignment in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for our opinion.
Our audit has been performed with a high, but not absolute, level of assurance, which means we may not have detected all material errors and fraud.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The materiality affects the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and the evaluation of the effect of identified misstatements on our opinion.


We have exercised professional judgment and have maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit, in accordance with Dutch Standards on Auditing, ethical requirements and independence requirements. Our audit included e.g.:
- Identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designing and performing audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control
- Obtaining an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control
- Evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management
- Concluding on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting, and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report, However, future events or conditions may cause a company to cease to continue as a going concern
- Evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures
- Evaluating whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation
Because we are ultimately responsible for the opinion, we are also responsible for directing, supervising and performing the group audit. In this respect we have determined the nature and extent of the audit procedures to be carried out for group entities. Decisive were the size and/or the risk profile of the group entities or operations. On this basis, we selected group entities for which an audit or review had to be carried out on the complete set of financial information or specific items.
We communicate with the board of directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant findings in internal control that we identify during our audit. In this respect we also submit a report to the audit committee in accordance with Article 11 of the EU Regulation on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of publicinterest entities. The information included in this additional report is consistent with our audit opinion in this auditor's report.
We provide the board of directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.


From the matters communicated to the board of directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, not communicating the matter is in the public interest.
