Notes to the consolidated financial statements

1. General information

Orco Property Group, société anonyme ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") is a real estate group with a major portfolio of investment properties in Central and Eastern Europe. It is principally involved in leasing out investment properties under operating leases as well as in asset management, in operating hotels and extended stay hotels and is also active in the development of properties for its own portfolio or intended to be sold in the ordinary course of business.

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated for an unlimited term and registered in Luxembourg. The address of its registered office is 40, Parc d"activités Capellen, L-8308 Capellen.

The Company is listed on the Euronext Paris stock exchange, the Prague stock exchange, the Budapest stock exchange and the Warsaw stock exchange.

These consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 21 March 2011.

The Board of Directors has the power to amend the consolidated financial statements after issue.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Euros and have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that investment property is carried at fair value and financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through income statement.

2.1 Basis of preparation and Going concern

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union.

2.1.1 Going concern

In determining the appropriate basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are required to consider whether the Group can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group"s financial risks including foreign exchange risk, fair value risk, cash flow risk, interest rate risk, price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk are outlined in note 3. In general, the situation has improved compared to the one described in the 2009 and 2008 consolidated financial statements. The economic environment in which the Group operates has stabilized or topped out on most of the markets where the Group is active. Even though the valuation of certain investment properties and residential developments further decreased, the Group has made progress in the implementation of its restructuring plans allowing the same conclusion on the going concern.

2.1.1.1 2010 results

Over 2010, the Group has made a profit of EUR 222.7 million (EUR 233.4 million attributable to the Group). After recognizing significant devaluations on investment properties and impairments on developments over 2009 and 2008, the Group recorded valuation gains and impairment write offs over 2010 (EUR 24.9 million) and a gain of EUR 269.5 million upon derecognition of the Company"s bonds as a result of the approval of the Safeguard plan. The loan to value improved to 67.8% as at December 2010 compared to 84.4% as at December 2009.

2.1.1.2 "Procédure de Sauvegarde" (Safeguard Procedure)

Beginning of 2009, the Company"s Board of Directors decided to apply protection from creditors by a French court, the Safeguard Procedure. A Court Hearing was held on 25 March 2009 with the Paris Commercial Court ("Tribunal de Commerce de Paris"). On the same day, the Court rendered a judgement opening the Safeguard Procedure for the Company, and Vinohrady S.à r.l., a French subsidiary, for a renewable six months period. During the Safeguard Procedure, the Company is exempted to repay all the liabilities prior to the judgement pronouncement while interests on debts and bonds continue to be accrued based on contractual arrangements.

The initial period has been prolonged twice with the last period to be ended in June 2010 at the latest. The Safeguard plan (i.e. the proposed schedule for admitted claims" repayment supported by a long term business plan) was circularized to creditors on 31 March 2010. A majority of 57.42% of creditors were in favour of the proposed plan. The details of the Safeguard plan were published in the management report accompanying the 2009 consolidated financial statements. On 19 May 2010, the Court approved the Company"s Safeguard plan. This plan combines a strategic and operational restructuring plan and a debt rescheduling plan. The rescheduling plan aims at repaying 100% of the admitted claims, including nominal, accrued interests, and interests to accrue during the Safeguard plan, over ten years as per the schedule below, with effect from 30 April 2010 and a first repayment on 30 April 2011. This repayment schedule is consistent with the Group"s business plan and reflects the necessity for the Group to invest in its development projects and assets.

Year 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015
% of the total liability 2% 5% 5% 5% 5%
Year 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020
% of the total liability 5% 10% 14% 20% 29%

The Court appointed Maître Laurent le Guernevé as "Commissaire à l'exécution du plan" in charge of overseeing the performance of the Company in implementing the Safeguard plan. Maître Le Guernevé will more specifically be in charge of distributing among the Company's creditors the amounts that are due to them under the Safeguard plan.

The judgment approving the Safeguard plan ended the observation period opened in 25 March 2009 and allows the Company to carry out its activity as it did prior to the opening of the Safeguard Procedure.

On 10 June 2010, a third party filed an opposition with the Commercial Court of Paris regarding the 19 May 2010 judgment that approved the Company"s Safeguard plan. This third party opposition was filed by Maître François Kopf, attorney for bondholder representative for the « OBSAR 2010 » (ISIN FR0010249599), « CONVERTIBLE 2013 » (ISIN FR0010333302), and « OBSAR 2014 » (ISIN XS0291838992 and XS029184062). Regarding these three bonds, the third party opposition contests the maximum bond liability to be reimbursed within the Safeguard plan. The Court hearing was deferred until May 2011.

2.1.1.3 Restructuring plan implemented by the management

The Safeguard Procedure has provided a legal time frame for the implementation of the restructuring plan of the Group that enabled the Company to accelerate its transition to the "new Orco":

  • simplified and streamlined in terms of business and geographical presence;
  • integrated in terms of ownership and control of its subsidiaries;
  • focused on a cash flow sustainable holding company;
  • adapted and lighter cost-structure;
  • lowered pressure on the short term liquidity by the restructuring of its bond and bank debts;
  • preserved potential of the development pipeline.

Many progresses have been made in the restructuring plan of the Group under the protection of the Safeguard procedure opened on the 25th of March 2009 and after the approval of the Safeguard plan:

  • The Safeguard plan proposing a term out over ten years of all the Company debts has been approved even though a third party opposition has been filed (see above).
  • In its restructuring plan, the Group has identified assets and activities which are not strategic and/or which financing or cash flows are problematic. Those assets and activities have to be restructured or sold if restructuring can"t be achieved in the short or medium term. While some of these assets or activities have already been sold, the restructuring of the assets and activities is not finalized yet. The success in selling those assets is essential to the realization of the business plan.
  • Some major Group bank loans have been successfully renegotiated since the beginning of the Safeguard Procedure by either solving existing and potential covenants" breaches or extending construction credit lines repayment schedules. Negotiations are still continuing on the remaining debts with existing or potential covenants breaches and for assets and developments where restructuring needs have been identified in the restructuring plan.
  • The restructuring of the operations and teams has already led to significant operating expenses decrease compared to 2008 and 2009. Further decreases are expected in 2011 with the decrease in the legal and consulting costs specific to the Safeguard Procedure or litigations with minority shareholders, the restructuring of Orco Germany (fully consolidated subsidiary held at

58.94% as at 31 December 2010, "OG") and the restructuring of the group management in two business lines (Development and Asset Management).

  • The management is currently discussing with all its joint venture and investment partners in order to restore the liquidity of its loans granted to these joint ventures by having them repaid either in cash or converted in equity. In particular, some achievements with agreements finalized can already be reported :
  • An agreement has been finalized and executed in July 2010 with the Hospitality joint venture partner whereby EUR 20 million out of the Company EUR 46 million shareholder loan has been restructured. The joint venture"s partner has injected EUR 5 million in cash in Hospitality Invest for partial repayment to the Company, while EUR 10 million of shareholder loan has been converted into equity in the joint venture leaving both partners at a 50% shareholding but increasing the rights of the Company in the future cash flow of the joint venture.
  • An agreement has been finalized in March 2011 with the CPF (Croatian state privatization fund holding 32% of the shares of Suncanni Hvar d.d.). This agreement is a first step aiming at putting an end to the different shareholders disputes and assuring long term financing of the business.
  • The risks on the implementation of the Safeguard plan (particularly on the timing of the non core asset sales forecasted to finance the equity part of the development of the existing land bank) have been mitigated in April 2010 by the completion of three capital increases in cash amounting to EUR 16.2 million that were not included in the sources of funds considered in the business plan. The new investors are professional investment funds, such as Axa Investment Managers, Neptune Invest, Alandia Investissements, Lansdowne Capital, Hillgrove Investments Group and Finplat. The Company issued a total of 3,110,000 new shares, priced at EUR 5.61 (for the first capital increase) and EUR 5.00 (for the 2nd and 3rd capital increases). The price per share in the 2nd and 3rd capital increases reflects the fact that the new shares remain in the form of registered shares until a prospectus is approved by the CSSF. Initially, these capital increases were legally challenged by certain shareholders but the Group entered into an agreement beginning of 2011 putting an end to these litigation procedures.

On 24 January 2011, the CSSF approved the prospectus for the new shares issued in the second and third capital increases. The prospectus has been duly passported with the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers on 25 January 2011. Consequently, the Company applied for listing the corresponding shares for trading on the regulated markets of NYSE Euronext in Paris, the Prague Stock Exchange, the Warsaw Stock Exchange and the Budapest Stock Exchange. As of the publication of this report, all four above-mentioned stock exchanges admitted the 2,020,000 ordinary shares of the Company to.

2.1.1.4 Risks and uncertainties on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern

While the Safeguard plan has been approved on the basis of a business plan supported by the Board of Directors and estimated as achievable by the Commercial Court, the Juge Commissaire and the Mandataire judiciaire, the Group"s status as a going concern depends mainly and directly on its capacity to implement the Safeguard plan as approved by the Commercial Court in Paris, and more specifically the success in selling non strategic assets and the capacity in refinancing or repaying the short term debts are essential. Nevertheless, would the creditors be successful in challenging the Safeguard plan, the Court may decide to put the Company in a rehabilitation or judicial liquidation proceeding. A rehabilitation proceeding or judicial liquidation may materially adversely affect the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. The Company sees the risk of this opposition being accepted as remote.

Some subsidiaries and joint ventures held by the Group require funding to continue as a going concern (specifically Hvar for EUR 61 million). The business plan is built on the capacity of the Group to generate sufficient cash from its profitable activities in order to support the assets that are currently in development or restructuring. For the realization of its business plan, the Group sees as a top priority the successful negotiation on the refinancing of Orco Germany bond (EUR 100 million of principal with EUR 25 million conditional premium, see note 18.7) and GSG bank loan (EUR 300 million of principal) to be respectively repaid in April and May 2012.

The financial performance of the Group is also dependent upon the wider economic environment in which the Group operates. The uncertainty of the evolution of real estate market in Central Europe could damage the Group"s activity and slow down the asset sales program. It should be noted that this environment has generally been stabilized over the last 15 months.

The Board of Directors is in the opinion that those risks are mitigated by the reasonability of the assumptions taken in the establishment of the business plan and the capital increases completed over the year of 2010.

2.1.1.5 Conclusion

The Board of Directors has, as a result of the approval of the Safeguard plan and the restructuring currently being implemented and considering the risks and uncertainties described above, concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the Company can continue its operations in the foreseeable future and, accordingly, has formed a judgment that it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2010 on a going concern basis.

2.1.2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Group"s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 4.

2.1.3 Changes in accounting policies

The accounting policies have been consistently applied by Group"s entities and are consistent with those used in the previous year except for the definition of start of development, the classification of net interests paid in the cash flow statement and for the application of the revised and new standards and interpretations applied as from 1 January 2010 as described below and except the new accounting policy of the definition of start of a development project (see note 2.6).

In order to reflect in the accounting policies the new strategic development approach, the definition of the start of development for the purpose of the transfer of land bank to inventories has been expanded (see point 2.6). Where, in the previous accounting policies, the start of development was only referring the construction business with a transfer when the project design is definitive, the building permit is granted and the start of the construction has been validated by the Investment Committee, the new accounting policy addresses also the case of a land development with a view to totally or partially sell the parcels in the ordinary course of activities defining the start of the development to be the moment at which the Group has obtained official support from state or city authorities in order to start working on the master plan modification. This change has been applied retrospectively and does not affect prior years. Would that change in policy not have been applied, a gain on the revaluation of the land development would have been recognized through profit or loss for an amount of EUR 69 million.

Due to the safeguard plan and in order to reflect the financing of the projects, the net interests paid have been disclosed in the cash flow statement in financing activities This change has been applied retrospectively. An amount of EUR 56.7 million has been reclassified from investing activities to financing activities in 2010 (EUR 77.9 in 2009).

The following new standards and amendments to standards are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2010:

The following amendments have been early adopted by the Group in 2009:

  • IFRS 3 (revised), "Business combinations" was early adopted by the Group in 2009 and applied prospectively from 1 January 2009. The revised standard continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant changes. For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with contingent payment classified as debt subsequently re-measured through the statement of comprehensive income. There is a choice on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis to measure the non controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at non controlling interest"s proportionate share of the acquiree"s net assets. All acquisition-related costs should be expensed.
  • IAS 27 (revised), "Consolidated and separate financial statements" effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009. The revised standard requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. This is already the accounting policy elected by the Group. The standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is re-measured to fair value, and a gain or loss is recognized in the income statement. The Group has applied IAS 27 (revised) prospectively to transactions with non-controlling interests from 1 January 2009.

The following amendments and interpretations to published standards are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010 but are not relevant or have a very limited impact to the Group's operations:

  • IFRIC 17, 'Distributions of non-cash assets to owners', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009. This is not currently applicable to the Group, as it has not made any non-cash distributions.
  • IFRIC 18, 'Transfers of assets from customers', effective for transfer of assets received on or after 1 July 2009. This is not relevant to the Group, as it has not received any assets from customers.
  • 'An additional exemption for first-time adopters' (Amendment to IFRS 1) was issued in July 2009. The amendments are required to be applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010. This is not relevant to the Group, as it is an existing IFRS preparer.

  • Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards 2009 were issued in April 2009. The effective dates vary standard by standard but most are effective 1 January 2010.

  • IFRIC 9, 'Reassessment of embeded derivatives and IAS 39, Financial instruments: recognition and measurement', effective 1 July 2009. This is not relevant to the Group as the Group did not have any hybrid financial assets.
  • IAS 1 (amendment), "Presentation of financial statements", effective from 1 January 2010;
  • IAS 32 (amendment), "Classification of right issues" effective from 1 February 2010;
  • IAS 39 (amendment), "Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement Eligible hedged items" effective from 1 July 2009;
  • IFRS 2 (amendment), "Group cash-settled share-based payment transactions" effective from 1 January 2010;
  • IFRS 5 (amendment), "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations" effective from 1 July 2009;
  • IFRIC 16, "Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation", effective 1 July 2009.
  • IAS 36 (amendment), "Impairment of assets", effective 1 January 2010.

Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Group:

The following standards and amendments to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for the Group"s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 or later periods, but the Group has not early adopted them:

  • IFRS 9, "Financial instruments", issued in November 2009. This standard is the first step in the process to replace IAS 39, "Financial instruments: recognition and measurement". IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets and is likely to affect the Group"s accounting for its financial assets. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2013 but is available for early adoption. However, the standard has not yet been endorsed by the EU.
  • Revised IAS 24 (revised), "Related party disclosures", issued in November 2009. It supersedes IAS 24, "Related party disclosures", issued in 2003. IAS 24 (revised) is mandatory for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. Earlier application, in whole or in part, is permitted. However, the standard has not yet been endorsed by the EU.
  • "Classification of rights issues" (Amendment to IAS 32), issued in October 2009. The amendment applies to annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010. Earlier application is permitted. The amendment addresses the accounting for rights issues that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the issuer. Provided certain conditions are met, such rights issues are now classified as equity regardless of the currency in which the exercise price is denominated. Previously, these issues had to be accounted for as derivative liabilities. The amendment applies retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 "Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors". The Group will apply the amended standard from 1 January 2011.
  • IFRIC 19, "Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments", effective 1 July 2010. The interpretation clarifies the accounting by an entity when the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and result in the entity issuing equity instruments to a creditor of the entity to extinguish all or part of the financial liability (debt for equity swap). It requires a gain or loss to be recognized in profit or loss, which is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability and the fair value of the equity instruments issued. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued cannot be reliably measured, the equity instruments should be measured to reflect the fair value of the financial liability extinguished. The Group will apply the interpretation from 1 January 2011, subject to endorsement by the EU. It is not expected to have any impact on the Group or the parent entity"s financial statements.
  • "Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement" (Amendments to IFRIC 14). The amendments correct an unintended consequence of IFRIC 14, "IAS 19 – The limit on a defined benefit asset, minimum funding requirements and their interaction". Without the amendments, entities are not permitted to recognise as an asset some voluntary prepayments for minimum funding contributions. This was not intended when IFRIC 14 was issued, and the amendments correct this. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning 1 January 2011. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the earliest comparative period presented. The Group will apply these amendments for the financial period commencing on 1 January 2011.

Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards 2010 were issued in May 2010. Amendments this year effect six standards and one IFRIC: IFRS 1, IFRS 3, IFRS 7, IAS 1, IAS 27, IAS 34 and IFRIC 13. The amendments are generally applicable for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2011. Early application is permitted.

2.2 Consolidation

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration includes also the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On and acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non controlling interest"s proportionate share of the acquiree"s net assets.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(b) Transactions with non-controlling interests

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of the Group. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

(c) Joint-ventures

The Group"s interests in jointly controlled entities are accounted for by proportionate consolidation.

The Group combines its share of the joint-ventures" individual income and expenses, assets and liabilities and cash flows on a lineby-line basis with similar items in the Group"s consolidated financial statements.

The Group recognises the portion of gains or losses on the sale of assets by the Group to the joint-venture that is attributable to the joint-venture partners. The Group does not recognise its share of profits or losses from the joint-venture that result from the Group"s purchase of assets from the joint-venture until it resells the assets to an independent party. A loss on the transaction is recognized immediately if it provides evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value of current assets, or an impairment loss. Joint-ventures" accounting policies have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

2.3 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is the person or group that allocates resources to and assesses the performance of the operating segments of a Group. The Executive Committee together with the Investment Committee are the chief operating decision maker of the Group.

2.4 Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group"s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The functional currency of all Group"s entities is the local currency. The consolidated financial statements are presented in euro (EUR), which is the Group"s functional and presentation currency.

Following the adoption of Euro by Slovakia, Euro became the functional currency of the Slovakian entities as at 1st January 2009.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at yearend exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated income statement.

Translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in the consolidated income statement as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on investment properties held at fair value are recognized in the consolidated income statement as part of the foreign exchange result.

(c) Group companies

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • (i) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;
  • (ii) income and expenses for each income statement presented are translated at average exchange rate (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the date of the transactions); and
  • (iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of consolidated equity.

In consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to equity. When a foreign operation is sold, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities are recognized in the consolidated income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

2.5 Intangible assets

(a) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group"s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/joint-venture at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries and joint-ventures is included in "intangible assets". Separately recognized goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the acquisition from which the goodwill arose.

Negative goodwill arising on an acquisition is recognized in the consolidated income statement.

(b) Computer software

Acquired computer software licences are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (three to five years).

Costs associated with developing or maintaining computer software programs are recognized as an expense as incurred. Costs that are directly associated with the production of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group, and that will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year, are recognized as intangible assets. Direct costs include the costs of software development employees and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.

Computer software development costs recognized as assets are amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (not exceeding three years).

(c) Trademarks

Acquired trademarks are shown at historical cost. When they have indefinite useful life, trademarks are tested annually for impairment or whenever there is an indication of impairment. They are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

2.6 Investment property

Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both (including the land bank), and that is not occupied by the Group, is classified as investment property.

Investment property comprises of freehold land, freehold buildings, extended stay residences, land plots held under operating lease and buildings held under finance lease.

Land plots held under operating lease is classified and accounted for as investment property when the definition of investment property is met. The operating lease is accounted for as if it was a finance lease.

Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs.

After initial recognition, investment property is carried at fair value. Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. If this information is not available, the Group uses alternative valuation methods such as recent prices on less active markets or discounted cash flow projections. These valuations are performed annually by an independent expert, DTZ Debenham Tie Leung. Investment property that is being

redeveloped for continuing use as investment property or for which the market has become less active continues to be measured at fair value.

The fair value of investment property reflects, among other things, rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases in the light of current market conditions. The fair value also reflects, on a similar basis, any cash outflows that could be expected in respect of the property. Some of those outflows are recognized as a liability, including finance lease liabilities in respect of land classified as investment property; others, including contingent rent payments, are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent expenditure is charged to the asset"s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the consolidated income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Changes in fair values are recorded in the consolidated income statement under "Net gain/(loss) from fair value adjustment on investment property".

If an item of property, plant and equipment becomes an investment property because its use has changed, any difference resulting between the carrying amount and the fair value of this item at the date of transfer is recognized in equity as a revaluation of property, plant and equipment under IAS 16. However, if a fair value gain reverses a previous impairment loss, the gain is recognized in the consolidated income statement.

Freehold lands for which the destination is not specified at the acquisition date are classified under Investment property as land bank. The specific destination (if any) is to be determined by the investment committee approving the acquisition. The destination of land bank plots is considered to remain uncertain until the start of the development that will trigger the transfer at fair value to inventories. The start of the development will depend on whether it is decided by the Investment Committee to perform a land development with a view to sale or a construction development with a view to sale. In the case of a construction development with a view to sell in the ordinary course of activities, the start of the development is considered to be when the project design is definitive, the building permit is granted and the start of the construction has been validated by the Investment Committee. In the case of a land development with a view to totally or partially sell the parcels in the ordinary course of activities, the start of the development is considered to be the moment at which the Group has obtained official support from state or city authorities in order to start working on the master plan modification.

If the start of a development of a freehold land with the objective to keep the asset for future rental or value accretion, the property will not be transferred.

If an investment property becomes owner-occupied, it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, and its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for accounting purposes. Property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property is classified as investment property and stated at fair value, due to the application since the beginning of the year 2009 of the IAS 40 revised. The properties previously recognized as Properties under development as at 31 December 2008 have been transferred as at 1 January 2009 in Investment Property at their 31 December 2008 fair value.

Hotel buildings held by the Group are not classified as Investment property but rather as Property, plant and equipment.

2.7 Property, plant and equipment

Hotels, owner-occupied buildings and fixtures and fittings are classified as property, plant and equipment. Properties under development are classified as property, plant and equipment only if their future use is owner operated real estate assets (hotels, logistics warehouses or owner-occupied office buildings.

All property, plant and equipments are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset"s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation, based on a component approach, starts off when construction or development is completed. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the costs over the asset"s estimated useful lives, as follows:

  • Land Nil
  • Buildings 50 to 80 years
  • Fixtures and fittings 3 to 20 years

The assets" residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at each financial year-end.

An asset"s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 2.9).

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the consolidated income statement.

All borrowing costs are expensed except for the borrowing costs that are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset when they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset.

2.8 Leases

  • (a) A Group company is the lessee
  • i) Operating lease

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by another party, the lessor, are classified as operating leases. Payments, including prepayments, 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.

ii) Finance lease

Leases of assets where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the lease"s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in current and non-current borrowings. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the consolidated income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The investment properties acquired under finance leases are carried at their fair value.

  • (b) A Group company is the lessor
  • i) Operating lease

Properties leased out under operating leases are included in investment property in the consolidated balance sheet.

ii) Finance lease

When assets are leased out under a finance lease, the present value of the lease payments is recognized as a receivable. The difference between the gross receivable and the present value of the receivable is recognized as unearned finance income.

Lease income is recognized over the term of the lease using the net investment method before tax, which reflects a constant periodic rate of return.

2.9 Impairment of non-financial assets

Intangible assets including goodwill and trademark that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to systematic amortization and are tested for impairment annually or whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. Assets that are subject to amortization or depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset"s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset"s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

2.10 Financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets other than derivatives in the following categories: loans and receivables and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. Financial assets are derecognized only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the Group transfers substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are classified as trade receivables (note 2.12) and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as trade and other receivables are classified as loans and receivables. They are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less provision for impairment.

Management assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets classified as loans and receivables is impaired. Impairment testing of trade receivables is described in note 2.12.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading which are acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss (including derivatives) are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated income statement. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

The Group subscriptions in investment property closed end funds managed by the Group are categorized as financial assets designated at fair value at inception as they are managed and evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy and reported to key management personnel on that basis. Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date on which the Group commits to purchase or sale these assets.

2.11 Inventories

Properties that are being developed for future sale are classified as inventories at their cost or deemed cost, which is the carrying amount at the date of reclassification from investment property. They are subsequently carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less cost to complete redevelopment and selling expenses.

If a commercial or office development classified in Inventories becomes partially or totally rented, as a result of tenants moving in before the contemplated sale, it is not automatically reclassified as Investment Property. The finished goods will be reclassified in investment property if it is held mainly for capital appreciation. This will be appreciated on the basis of the Investment Committee decision to hold the asset and the absence of an active search for a buyer.

All borrowing costs are expensed except for the borrowing costs that are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset when they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset.

2.12 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset"s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognized in the consolidated income statement.

2.13 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

2.14 Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options classified in equity are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds in other reserves.

The shares of the Company (Orco Property Group, société anonyme) held by the Group -Treasury shares - are measured at their acquisition cost and recognized as a deduction from equity. Gains and losses on disposal are taken directly to equity.

2.15 Borrowings

The term Borrowings covers the elements recorded under the captions Bonds and Financial debts within non-current liabilities and within current liabilities.

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

The fair value of the liability portion of a convertible bond is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non convertible bond. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion at maturity of the bonds. If applicable, the remainder of the proceeds allocated to the conversion option is recognized in equity, net of income tax effect.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

2.16 Compound financial instruments

Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise convertible bonds that can be converted to share capital at the option of the holder, and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value.

The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognised initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognised initially at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition except on conversion or expiry.

2.17 Trade payables

Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.18 Current and deferred income tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the consolidated income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Group"s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred income tax asset can be utilized.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and joint-ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax on investment property

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences arising on fair value of buildings and lands held by the Group as investment properties even when they are located in special purpose entities, which are themselves, in most cases, held by a Luxembourg-based company. Generally, each special purpose entity is meant to hold one specific project. Possibly, should a special purpose entity be disposed of, the gains generated from the disposal will be exempted from any tax (in accordance with the Grandducal regulation of 21 December 2001), if the Luxembourg-based company holds or commits itself to hold this stake for a minimum of a continuous 12-month period and, if, during this same period, the stake amounts to at least 10% of the affiliate"s capital or the acquisition price amounts to at least EUR 6 million.

2.19 Provisions and post-employment obligations

Provisions for environmental restoration, site restoration and legal claims are recognized when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.

Where the Group, as lessee, is contractually required to restore a leased-in property to an agreed condition, prior to release by a lessor, provision is made for such costs as they are identified.

The Group has entered into defined benefit plans defined as an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability recognized in the consolidated balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to the consolidated income statement over the employees" expected average remaining working lives. Past-service costs are recognized immediately in income, unless the changes to the pension plan are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past-service costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due.

2.20 Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value on a date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value which is generally the market value. Derivatives are presented at the balance sheet date under the caption Derivative instruments in current assets when fair value is positive or under the caption Derivative instruments in current or non-current liabilities when fair value is negative. Changes in the fair value are recognized immediately in the consolidated income statement under "other net financial results".

Embedded derivatives that are not equity instruments, such as issued call options embedded in exchangeable bonds, are recognized separately in the consolidated balance sheet and changes in fair value are accounted for through the consolidated income statement under "other net financial results".

2.21 Revenue recognition

Revenue includes rental income, service charges and management charges from properties, and income from property trading.

Rental income from operating leases is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. When the Group provides incentives to its customers, the cost of incentives are recognized over the lease term, on a straight-line basis, as a reduction of rental income.

Service and management charges are recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. When the Group is acting as an agent, the commission rather than gross income is recorded as revenue.

The amount of inventories recognized as an expense during the period, referred to as cost of goods sold, consists of those costs previously included in the measurement of inventory that has been sold during the year.

The other operating expenses include repair and maintenance costs of buildings and properties, utilities costs, marketing and representation costs, travel and mobility expenses, operating taxes and other general overhead expenses.

2.22 Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company"s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Group"s consolidated financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company"s shareholders.

2.23 Share option plans

Share options are granted to certain directors and senior employees. The options are granted at the market price on the date of the grant and are exercisable at that price.

The fair value of options granted is recognized as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using a Black-Scholes model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest except where forfeiture is only due to share prices not achieving the threshold for vesting.

2.24 Subscription rights and PACEO ("Programme d'Augmentation de Capital par Exercice d'Options")

The Group grants subscription rights to third parties as part of its financing program. Any consideration received is added directly to equity as a capital increase recorded in share capital and share premium. Changes in the fair value of those equity instruments are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

3. Financial risk management

3.1 Financial risk factors

The Group"s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The Group"s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group financial performance. The Group uses financial instruments to mitigate certain risk exposures.

Risk management, being formalized, is carried out by the Group"s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and his team. As a result of the

current restructuring, the policies are under review for approval by the Board of Directors. The Group"s CFO identifies, evaluates and mitigates financial risks in close co-operation with the Group"s operating units. The Board of Directors will provide principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the Czech Koruna (CZK), the Polish Zloty (PLN), the Hungarian Forint (HUF), the Croatian Kuna (HRK) and secondarily to the US Dollar (USD) and the Russian Ruble (RUB). Foreign exchange risk, as defined by IFRS 7, arises mainly from recognized monetary assets and liabilities. Loans, operating income and - except in the development activities - sales of buildings are mainly denominated in Euro (EUR). The Group does not use foreign currency derivatives contracts, as salaries, overhead expenses, future purchase contracts in the development sector, building refurbishment and construction costs are mainly denominated in local currencies. The main circumstance for the Group to put in place currency derivatives is for the financing of a construction contract when the local currency operations do not generate sufficient cash and as a result that construction contract must be financed with another currency.

The exchange rates to euro (EUR) used to establish these consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Currency Currency 31 December 2009 31 December 2010
Code Average Closing Average Closing
CZK Czech Koruna 26.4992 26.465 25.2675 25.06

Furthermore, the Group is exposed to price risk from embedded derivatives on instruments issued by Orco Germany S.A The
derivative instruments are classified in the consolidated balance sheet under "Derivative instruments".
To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities and such embedded derivatives, the Group diversifies its

portfolio or only enters these operations if they are linked to operational investments. No sensitivity analysis has been performed.

(iii) Other risks

The Group is also exposed to property price and property rentals risk but it does not pursue any speculative policy. Even though the Group"s activities are focused on one geographical area – Western and Eastern Europe and Russia - such activities are spread over several business lines (residences, offices, hotels) and different countries.

(b) Credit risk

The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. Rental contracts are made with customers with an appropriate credit history. Cash transactions are limited to high credit-quality financial institutions. The Group has policies that limit the amount of credit exposure to any financial institution. Credit risk is managed by local management and by Group management.

In 2010

In 2010, the Group has recorded impairments on trade receivables amounting to EUR 1.6 million (mainly EUR 0.9 million in Germany, EUR 0.3 million in Luxembourg and EUR 0.3 Million in Czech Republic) and a reversal of impairment of EUR 6.3 million mainly related to the reversal on an advance payment to a third party on an asset located in Russia for EUR 5.8 million in application of the Group management review of the overdue receivables.

The Group has recorded impairments on the current assets amounting to EUR 8.8 million mainly related to the loan granted to Mr Gogol for EUR 8.7 million and a reversal of impairment corresponding to a profit and loss transfer with the Company Deutsche Anington for EUR 5.7 million.

In December 2010 the Company reached an agreement to gain 10% ownership in Rubin retail project in Moscow in exchange of a USD 25 Million advance payment signed back in 2008. This advance has been transferred from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss to advance payment for EUR 0.0 million and an impairment of EUR 6.4 million, based on the Net Asset Value of the entity holding the project, was written back.

The Group does not hold any collateral.

(c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the inherent nature of its assets, the Group is subject to a liquidity risk (see note 2.1 on going concern and note 3.3 for covenant breaches).

The liquidity risk is the risk that Orco Property Group might encounter difficulties raising liquid funds to meet commitments as they fall due. The Orco management monitors the Group"s liquidity risk on the basis of expected cash flows and by managing its development agenda and portfolio of investment properties.

The table below analyses the Group"s financial liabilities and net-settled derivative instruments into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period as from 31 December 2010 to the contractual maturity date.

As the amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows, these amounts will not necessarily reconcile to the amounts disclosed on the consolidated balance sheet for borrowings, derivative instruments and other payables considered as financial instruments.

(d) Cash flow interest rate risk

The Group"s income and operating cash in flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

The Group"s interest rate risk arises from floating rate financial debts. Financial debts issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group mitigates some of its variable interest rates by entering into swap transactions.

The Group takes on exposure to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on its financial position and cash flows. Interest costs may increase as a result of such changes. They may reduce or create losses in the event that unexpected movements arise.

The floating rate loans and bonds line presents the projected cash flows, including interests and the reimbursements of the principal and of the non conversion premium (when applicable), for Group's floating rate loans and bonds. The cash flows have been established on the basis of the forward interest and exchange rates as at 31 December 2010. Held for sale liabilities represent the loans in respect of Wertheim and Szervita which are classified as held for sale.

Interest rate swaps, collars and forex derivatives used by the Group are detailed in the note 18.13.

As at 31 December 2010, the impact of a 100 basis points growth of interest rates curve would induce an increase of the interest charges for 2010 of EUR 3.1 million. Before the positive impact of derivatives, the increase of interest expenses in 2010 would amount to EUR 8.1 million.

As at 31 December 2009, the impact of a 100 basis points growth of interest rates curve would induce an increase of the interest charges for 2009 of EUR 4.9 million. Before the positive impact of derivatives, the increase of interest expenses in 2009 would amount to EUR 9.9 million.

3.2 Fair value estimation

Effective 1 January 2009, the Group adopted the amendment to IFRS 7 for financial instruments that are measured in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. This requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

• Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).

• Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).

• Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, trading securities and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for long-term debt. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows.

The following table presents the Group"s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at 31 December 2010.

The Group is exposed to a credit risk on the Profit Participating Loan amounting to EUR 17.3 million. The change of 100 basis points on the discounted cash flow would have led to a further EUR 0.6 million loss of fair value revaluation through profit or loss.

3.3 Capital risk management

The Group monitors its capital risk by reference to the loan to value ratio which is the level of net debt accepted by the Group in order to finance its portfolio of assets. The objective of the Group is to maintain the loan to value ratio under 50%. The Group"s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the going concern and growth of the activities. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust dividends paid to shareholder (notably by offering the possibility to receive the dividends in shares instead of cash), issue new shares, sell totally or partially the control over some assets and activities or adjust the agenda of the developments.

As at 31 December, 2010, the loan to value ratio has reached the level of 67.8% compared to 84.4% in 2009. The sharp decrease of the LTV ratio is mainly the consequence of the approval of the Safeguard plan resulting in the recognition of the new debt at fair value and the value created on major development projects.

The LTV ratio before bonds also reduces from 58.1% to 53.8% due to the decrease of current liabilities.

Improvement of the LTV ratio is mainly due to the creation of value on projects and properties and the repayment of loans

The following table shows the detailed calculation of the loan to value ratio. Apart from the caption Revaluation gains on projects and properties, all the lines correspond to specific items indicated on the face of the consolidated balance sheet. The Revaluation gains or losses on projects and properties represent the difference between the book value and the fair value for all the projects and properties that are not considered as Investment properties. The fair value may be lower than the book value of developments since the impairment test is performed on the basis of the expected selling price once completed minus the remaining development and commercialization costs while the fair value corresponds to the sale price of the development as it is at the date of valuation.

.

The amount of revaluation on the projects located within the Hospitality Invest joint venture has been allocated in order to reflect the cash waterfall agreed between the joint venture partner in 2010.

Most of the administrative covenants are managed by local financial managers. Reported breaches are managed at Group level. Financial covenants are directly managed at Group level. End of 2010, some loans encountered administrative and/or financial covenant breaches. Those loans, as a result, have been reclassified in current liabilities. Most covenants relate to administrative documents to be provided (audited accounts, management reports) and financial ratios to be respected on the asset level (loan to value, loan to construction and interest coverage ratio).

In some circumstances, when cross default covenants are included in bank loan agreements, breaches occurring at the level of subsidiaries could have the consequence that other bank loans granted to other entities of the Group become repayable on demand. Such cross defaults can occur also in the opposite way, meaning that breaches occurring at the level of the Company could have the consequence that bank loans granted to subsidiaries become repayable on demand. In case of cross default covenants" breach, the related loans, as a result, have been reclassified in current liabilities.

The non respect of the Loan to Value (LTV) covenants may have as consequence that the lending bank requires partial repayment of the loan in order to solve the LTV covenant breach. In 2010, the Group negotiated interests margin increase instead of partial repayment of the loan.

4. Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience as adjusted for current market conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

4.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that present a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are disclosed below.

  • (a) Assessment of the going concern (see note 2.1.1)
  • (b) Estimate of fair value of investment properties

The best evidence of fair value is current prices in an active market for similar assets. In the absence of such information, the Group determines the amount within a range of reasonable fair value estimates. In making its judgment, the Group considers information from a variety of sources including:

  • i) current prices in an active market for properties of different nature, condition or location (or subject to different lease or other contracts), adjusted to reflect those differences;
  • ii) recent prices of similar properties in less active markets, with adjustments to reflect any changes in economic conditions since the date of the transactions that occurred at those prices; and
  • iii) discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates of future cash flows, derived from the terms of any existing lease and other contracts and (where possible) from external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties in the same location and condition, and using discount rates that reflect current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and timing of the cash flows.

If information on current or recent prices is not available, the fair values of investment properties are determined using discounted cash flow valuation techniques. A cash flow period of 10 years is taken into consideration and is based on an estimate of the future potential net income generated by use of the properties. The Group uses assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date.

The main assumptions for discounted cash flow projections are the following:

2010 2009
Discount Rate 6.5% 11.8% 7% 11%
Yield Range 5.8% 13.0% 6.75% 12%
Exit Cap Rate 5.3% 9.0% 6% 9%

Details of the main assumptions by type of properties used in 2010

Equivalent Yield Cap Rate Discount Rate
Min Max Min Max Min Max
Hospitality 8.0% 12.5% 7.3% 9.0% 9.0% 11.8%
Rental CE 6.7% 13.0% NA NA NA NA
German assets 5.8% NA 5.3% 8.3% 6.5% 9.6%
Developments CE 7.3% 8.8% NA NA NA NA

The fair value of the Wertheim land plot in Berlin has been valued according to the contractual sale price of EUR 89 Million and adjusted by the net present value of an additional payment of EUR 30 million payable after finalization of the project and discounted with a rate of 7%.

The principal assumptions underlying management"s estimation of fair value are those related to: the potential use of the asset, the receipt of contractual rentals; expected future market rentals; void periods; maintenance requirements; and appropriate discount rates. The fair value is based on the potential use of the properties as determined by the Group. Fair value is the highest value, determined from market evidence, by considering any other use that is financially feasible, justifiable and reasonably probable. The "highest and best-use" value results in a property"s value being determined on the basis of redevelopment of the site. These valuations are regularly compared to actual market yield data, actual transactions by the Group and those reported by the market.

The expected future market rentals are determined on the basis of current market rentals for similar properties in the same location and condition.

(c) Income taxes

The Group is subject to income taxes in different jurisdictions. Significant estimates are required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are some transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

As stated in note 2.18, the calculation of deferred tax on investment properties is not based on the fact that they will be realized

through a share deal but through an asset deal. As a result of the Group structure, the potential capital gain may be exempted from any tax in case of share deal if certain conditions are met and hence the accumulated deferred tax liabilities may be recognized as a gain depending on the outcome of negotiations with future buyers.

(d) Determination of remaining construction costs and impairment on developments

All development projects are subject to individual financial forecasts and balances, prepared by the Group and based on the best estimate of the construction costs to be incurred as part of the projects. The costs incurred are subject to specific controls by the Group and the project balances, showing the costs incurred as well as the remaining construction costs, are updated on a regular basis. This information is used to determine the net realizable value of inventories as well as the fair value less cost to sale for the impairment test of properties under development.

For the purpose of the impairment test on developments under construction whether classified as property, plant and equipment or as inventories, the Group does not use the fair value but the present development value that is defined as the expected selling price (as determined by an independent expert) from which the remaining development costs are deducted. The remaining development costs deriving from the project balance include the remaining construction, sales and marketing costs and all direct or indirect costs that can be associated to the specific development.

(e) Estimate of fair value of financial instruments

Some financial instruments are recorded at fair value.

Valuations are performed regularly on the basis of the management best estimates of the credit risk of the Group or of the specific entity concerned in the light of existing, available and observable market data:

  • 1) for derivative instruments linked to bonds issued by Orco Germany using a discount rate of 20.36% (55.24% in 2009).
  • 2) by the Group"s banks for the derivatives (IRS, options and forwards).
  • 3) for the loan granted to Hospitality Invest joint venture, the valuation is performed internally using a discount rate similar to the one used for the fair value of the properties and a risk premium of 4.0% (22% in 2009) for the Profit Participating Loan granted to the joint venture holding company.

The fair value of financial instruments reflects, among other things, current market conditions (interest rates, volatility and share price). Changes in fair values are recorded in the consolidated income statement.

The Group investments in the Endurance sub-funds are fair valued on the basis of the net asset value as provided by the fund Manager as at 30 September 2010 with a liquidity discount of 20% (20% in 2009).

(f) Impairment on owner-occupied buildings and hotels

For the purpose of determining the impairment on owner-occupied buildings and hotels, the Group uses the fair value as determined by the independent expert. The valuation methodology is based on cash flow projections for the relevant property with a discount rate ranging from 9.25% to 12.50% depending of the location of the assets and its specific business risk.

(g) Impairment on goodwill

The Group is testing annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 2.5. The recoverable amounts of cash have been determined based on the fair value of the buildings for which acquisitions have generated goodwill.

4.2 Critical judgments in applying the Group's accounting policies

(a) Distinction between investment properties and owner-occupied properties

The Management determines whether a property qualifies as investment property. In making its judgment, the Management considers whether the property generates cash flows largely independently of the other assets held by an entity. Owner-occupied properties generate cash flows that are attributable not only to property but also to other assets used in the production or supply process.

Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portion that is held for use in the supply of services or for administrative purposes. If these portions can be sold separately (or leased out separately under a finance lease), the Group accounts for the portions separately. If the portions cannot be sold separately, the property is accounted for as investment property only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the supply of services or for administrative purposes. Judgment is applied in determining whether ancillary services are so significant that a property does not qualify as investment property. The Management considers each property separately in making its judgment.

(b) Transfer between inventories and investment property

If a commercial or office development becomes partially rented, as a result of tenants moving in before the contemplated sale of the asset, the project is not automatically reclassified as investment property. A development will be reclassified as investment property only for capital appreciation and if the nature of this building has been changed and formally approved by the Investment Committee. The renting revenue on this development project is specifically disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

(c) Transfer between investment property and inventories

Freehold lands for which the destination is not determined at acquisition are classified under Investment property as land bank. The destination of land bank plots is considered to remain uncertain until the start of the development that will trigger the transfer at fair value to inventories. The start of the development will depend on whether it is decided by the Investment Committee to perform a land development with a view to sale or a construction development with a view to sale. In the case of a construction development with a view to sell in the ordinary course of activities, the start of the development is considered when the project design is definitive, the building permit is granted and the start of the construction has been validated by the Investment Committee. In the case of a land development with a view to totally or partially sell the parcels in the ordinary course of activities, the start of the development is considered to be the moment at which the Group has obtained sufficient support from state or city authorities in order to start working on the master plan modification.

5. Segment reporting

The Investment Committee is the responsible body making decisions for all acquisitions and disposals of projects. The Investment Committee assesses the performances at a project by project basis. The performance of the operating segments based on a measure of adjusted earnings before interests, tax, depreciation and amortisation ("adjusted EBITDA" as defined below) is assessed by the Executive committee and the Investment Committee.

Corporate expenses are allocated on the basis of the revenue realised by each activity.

Adjusted EBITDA is the recurring operational cash result calculated by deducting from the operating result non-cash and non-recurring elements (Net gain or loss on fair value adjustments – Amortisation, impairments and provisions – Correction of costs of goods sold being the reversal of previous years valuation adjustments and impairments – Net gain or loss on the sale of abandoned developments included in inventories – Net gain or loss on disposal of assets – attribution of stock options and warrants to executive management and the net results on sale of subsidiaries).

End of 2009, the Group structure has been fundamentally changed in order to streamline the management lines and reflect the two main activities to which the Investment Committee is allocating the Group investment capacity on the basis of the strategy defined by the Executive Committee. On one hand the Group is investing in land bank or assets for development and effectively developing them once the project presented is satisfactorily approved by the Investment Committee. Once the asset is developed it can be either sold to a third party or kept in the Group own portfolio for value appreciation. On the other hand, the Group is actively managing its own or third parties real estate assets for operational profitability and value appreciation. These two business lines are the segments by which the operations are analysed and managed internally.

These two segments or business lines can be defined as following :

  • Development business line covers all real estate assets under construction or designated as a future development in order to be sold to a third party or to be transferred to the asset management line once completed.
  • Asset management business line covers all real estate assets operated (as hotels and logistic parks) and rented out assets or that will be so without any major refurbishment. A legal entity can report for more than one project, which can be classified in two different segments.

In 2010, the methodology of segment reporting has been revised as follows:

  • Costs from asset and development management are allocated to the relevant business line, suppressing as a result any intra-segment transaction.
  • In the context of simplification of the SPV"s structure, some projects have been transferred to multi projects SPV"s. As a result, the Group allocates the projects on the appropiate segment, whereas the allocation was previously done at the SPV level.

2009 comparative have been represented on that basis. The main reclassification relates to German SPV"s, with multisegment projects.

These changes lead to a decrease of development revenues of EUR 11.1 million and to a decrease of development of operating result of EUR 19.1 million.

Development revenues include renting revenues for EUR 7.7 million in 2010 (EUR 6.1 million in 2009) from projects partially rented out and which are still expected to be sold.

The revenues are allocated to geographical areas on the basis of the location on which the sales originated.

6. Business combinations

No material business combination occurred in 2010, nor in 2009.

7. Intangible assets

The intangible assets of EUR 48.2 million (EUR 48.9 million in 2009) include mainly the GSG trademark recognized as part of the business combination accounting (EUR 7.2 million in 2010 and in 2009) and the goodwill on acquisitions (EUR 39.3 million goodwill in 2010 and 2009).

The impairment tests carried out on the goodwill did not lead to the recognition of any additionnal impairment in 2010 (EUR 2.3 million in 2009).

The sole goodwill recognized as at 31 December 2010 and 2009 is the GSG goodwill.

Since 1965, GSG has continuously developed its brand. Especially its initial role as a business promoter had a strong impact on the image of being a fair and reliable landlord. In the course, GSG managed to reinforce the brand by implementing a new corporate design, accompanied by specific marketing campaigns. The "change" into ORCO-GSG even helped to illustrate the shift to a modern service provider offering a wide range of additional products/services like the own glass fibre network or the support of start-up companies. Therefore the implemented brand has been and will be of vital importance and the fundamental basis to market the assets, to increase occupancy and maintain the good reputation. In this context, the useful life of GSG trademark has been assessed as indefinite.

issued by the Company, i.e. not the one issued by Orco Germany S.A.) have been derecognised and termed out bonds have been
recorded at fair value at the date of the approval of the Safeguard plan. The fair value has been estimated by Management with the
assistance of an independent expert (Grant Thornton). On the basis of comparables, the effective interest rate of the "Safeguard
bonds" was set at 23.1% resulting in a total value excluding deductions from own bonds of EUR 142.9 million at 19 May 2010 out of
which EUR 133.9 million is classified as Non Current. The derecognition of the debts results in a gain of EUR 269.5 million.

31 December 2009 consolidated financial statements except for the following points:
Call options on the Company"s shares embedded in the 2013 convertible bonds can now only be served by delivering new

The resolution was approved by 95.11% of the warrant holder present (out of which 91.7% were represented by key management personnel) with over 50% of warrant holders present or represented.
  • The number of existing 2012 callable warrants (exercise price of EUR 68.61) is thus reduced to 21,161. The exercise ratio is mechanically adjusted as follows: 1.03 share for one 2012 callable warrant exercised at EUR 68.61.

The second tranche (1/3 of the warrants) = to EUR 15.45 The third tranche (1/3 of the warrants) = to EUR 20.60

The movements in loans with covenants breaches are mainly explained as follow:

  • settlement of loan covenant breaches from 31 December 2009 for EUR 154.8 million out of which EUR 40.5 million led to the transfer of bank loans into long term debts (see note 18.8);
  • 3 new breaches on bank loans covenants for EUR 33.6 million;
  • Sale of assets for which the bank loan was in breach of covenants as at 31 December 2009 for EUR 39.6 million;

Expiring after one year 49,681 34,771
Total 112,723 132,835

In 2010

The decrease in undrawn credit facilities is due to following main factors:

  • The partial sale of Targowek / Malborska in Poland, the partial sale of Koliba in Bratislava and the partial sale of Slunecny Phase 3 in the Czech Republic had undrawn credit facilities of EUR 24.0 million as at December 31, 2010;
  • Molcom have contracted a new loan and have reimbursed the credit facility with this loan for EUR 13.0 million;
  • Brno City Center entered into a new credit facility for EUR 1.1 million and in the same time Brno City reimbursed a facility loan for EUR 2.3 million;
  • Sky office in Germany have increased its credit line for EUR 5.3 million but did not draw anything as of December 31, 2010;
  • Hagibor reimbursed EUR 1.5 million on its credit facility;
  • Several other companies reimbursed credit facilities for EUR 1.8 million;

  • EUR 69.4 million of the undrawn credit facilities in 2009 expired in 2010.

In 2009

The decrease in undrawn credit facilities is due to three main factors:

  • Amounts drawn in 2009 on Sky Office project in Germany (EUR -33.9 million), on H2 Office project in Germany (EUR 14.0 million), on Healthcare senior homes in Germany (EUR -20.7 million), on Zlota 44 in Poland (EUR -4.7 million), on Na Porici and on Kosic (phase 2) in Czech Republic (respectively EUR -6.8 million and EUR -4.4 million).
  • The sales of City Gate in Slovakia and Origo Project in Hungary had undrawn credit facilities of EUR 58.3 million as at December 2008.
  • EUR -39.0 million of the undrawn credit facilities in 2008 expired in 2009.

There are also expanded credit lines in 2009 mainly for Sky Office in Germany (EUR 18.7 million), Targowek / Malborska (EUR 6.7 million), and Suncani Hvar (EUR 3.6 million).

18.13 Derivatives

Derivative instruments are presented within other current assets when fair value is positive, within other current or non-current liabilities when fair value is negative. Changes in the fair value are recognized immediately in the income statement under other financial results.

Derivatives used by the Group include interest rate derivatives and embedded derivatives in bonds.

Embedded derivatives on bonds correspond to the derivatives embedded in the OBSAR OG (see notes on the specific bonds 18.3 and 18.6).

Orco Property Group uses various types of interest rate derivative contracts to protect against changes in the fair value of its assets and liabilities due to fluctuations in interest rates.

Interest rate derivatives represent interest rate swaps and collars. Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties to exchange a series of interest payments on a common principal amount. A collar is an investment strategy that uses options to limit the possible range of positive or negative returns on an investment in an underlying asset to a specific range. Valued at their fair value, interest rate swaps and collars cover floating interest rates against fixed rates. As at 31 December 2010 the total debt covered by interest rate swaps and collars amounts EUR 469.4 million (EUR 495.7 million in 2009) or 55.0% of the floating rate debt (53.2 % in 2009).

19 Provisions & other long term liabilities

This caption includes other long term liabilities for EUR 0.7 million (EUR 2.0 million in 2009) representing mainly retention on general contractors" invoices when applicable and provisions for EUR 13.6 million in 2010 (compared to EUR 15.0 million in 2009) which include mainly provisions accumulated to cover the Group"s retirement benefit obligation as detailed hereafter. In 2010, provisions for restructuring amount to EUR 0.3 million (none in 2009).

Due to the bankruptcy procedure of the company Orco Blumentaska a.s. in Slovakia (project Stein), this company has been deconsolidated. In respect of the application of the Safeguard plan, the guarantee given by the Company to the bank led to the recognition of a provision (over ten years following the repayment schedule of the Safeguard plan), corresponding to the Net Present Value of the bank loan not covered by the pledge on the value of the building (valued at fair value according to the external valuer report). This provision amounts to EUR 1.1 million as at 31 December 2010.

Retirement benefit obligation:

In the Group, only Orco Projektentwicklungs GmbH (formerly Viterra Development GmbH) and Viterra Baupartner GmbH have defined benefit plans. The Viterra plan is a so-called book reserve plan. The important attribute of this kind of plan is that there is no separate vehicle to accumulate assets to provide for the payment of benefits. Rather, the employer sets up a book reserve (accruals) in its balance sheet.

In 2010

  • (1) Change in the carrying value of liabilities relates mainly to gains on the revaluation of bonds following the approval of the Safeguard plan. This arises from the difference between the book value of bonds on the date of approval of the Safeguard plan (19 May 2010) amounting to EUR 388.9 million (net of own bonds EUR 11.2 million) plus EUR 17.1 million accrued interest (net of interest on own bonds EUR 1.3 million) and the fair value of EUR 135.9 million of the termed out bonds (net of own bonds EUR 6.5 million). Furthermore, the gain on the bonds repurchased after 19 May 2010 amounts to EUR 2.4 million. For further analysis see note 2.1 and note 18.
  • (2) Change in the fair value of derivative instruments essentially relates to movements in fair value of derivative instruments linked to bonds issued by the Group and in fair value of other derivatives (IRS and forwards). Please refer to note 18 and note 4.1 for further details.
  • (3) Change in the fair value of other financial assets essentially relates to financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

It relates to:

  • Investment in Endurance Fund compartments for EUR 0.3 million
  • The non eliminated part of two loans granted to the Hospitality joint-venture has been fair valued on the basis of management estimates of the expected cash flows from the loan and the specific credit spread depending on the loan characteristics and the legal entity benefiting directly from the loan at closing date. A loss has been recognised for EUR 3.6 million.
  • Reversal of impairment on an advance payment to third party valued at nil in 2009 and revalued at EUR 6.4 million in 2010, following the pledge of this loan on 10% of an SPV on an asset located in Russia.
  • (4) Other finance charges consist mainly of impairment of loan receivables registered in other current assets to third party (EUR -8.7 million), finance and legal fees relating to the financial restructuring, and bank charges.

In 2009

  • (1) The non eliminated part of one loan granted to the Hospitality joint venture has been valued at amortised cost on the basis of management estimates of the expected cash flows from the loan and the specific credit spread depending on the loan characteristics and the legal entity benefiting directly from the loan at inception of the equity loan. A gain has been recognised for EUR 18.0 million.
  • (2) Change in the fair value of derivative instruments essentially relates to movements in fair value of derivative instruments linked to bonds issued by the Group and in fair value of other derivatives (IRS, options and forwards) (Please refer to note 18 and note 4.1 for further details).
  • (3) Change in the fair value of other financial assets essentially relates to financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

It relates to:

  • Investment in Endurance Fund compartments for EUR -19.8 million, of which EUR 2.5 million linked to a liquidity discount applied of 20%.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit loss attributable to the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, excluding ordinary shares purchased by the Group and held as treasury shares.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

In December 2009, 833 084 Warrants have been attributed to Management (see note 29).

As a result of the Safeguard procedure, all debts of the Company were frozen until the approval of the Safeguard plan. As a result, the conversion of the convertible bond was suspended and was not taken into account in 2009 in the calculation of the diluted Earning Per Share.

The warrants 2012 and 2014 were not taken into account in the EPS calculation as the conversion of the warrants had an antidilutive impact in 2009 and 2010.

The Board of Directors was granted full powers to proceed with the capital increases within the revised authorised capital of EUR 300,000,001.20 under the terms and conditions it will set, with the option of eliminating or limiting the shareholders" preferential subscription rights as to the issuance of new shares within the authorised capital.

The Board of Directors has been authorised and empowered to carry out capital increases, in a single operation or in successive tranches, through the issuance of new shares paid up in cash, capital contributions in kind, transformation of trade receivables, conversion of convertible bonds into shares or, upon approval of the Annual General Shareholders" Meeting, through the capitalisation of earnings or reserves, as well as to set the time and place for the launching of one or a succession of issues, the issuance price, terms and conditions of subscription and payment of new shares. This authorisation is valid for a five-year period ending on 8 July 2013.

A total of EUR 57,620,850.60 has been used to date under this authorisation.

As such, the Board of Directors still has a potential of EUR 242,379,150.60 at its disposal. Considering that all new shares are issued at the par value price of EUR 4.10, a potential total of 59,116,866 new shares may still be created.

The members of the Board of Directors of the Company and of the Executive Committee are considered as the key management personnel of the Group.

Pursuant to the Company"s bylaws, each Board member must hold at least one share of the Company.

As a result of the reduction of the number of persons covered by this termination agreement as at 31 December 2010, the potential termination indemnity payment amounted to EUR 16 Million (EUR 16 Million as at 31 December 2009). This indemnity would become payable by the Company to the relevant management members only in case of change of control of the Company and in case the relationship between the Company and the management member is terminated by either party within a period of 6 months after the change of control.

(b) Loans and advances with key management personnel

On 4 December 2008, the Company granted a seller"s financing of EUR 1.4 Million (which was fully impaired as of 31 December 2009 as a result of the termination of the consulting contract with that company) to Vignette Investissements S.A., a French company managed by Keith Lindsay, against transferring 10% of the shares of MMR Management s.r.o., a limited liability company, incorporated under Czech laws and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to Vignette Investissements S.A.. This advance was granted for a period of 7 years ending on 31 December 2015. Vignette Investments S.A. and the Company agreed to unwind the transaction following termination of cooperation. As such, 10% of the shares of MMR Management s.r.o. were returned by Vignette Investissements S.A. to the Company, effective 16 December 2010.

A RUR 28 Million loan granted in July 2007 by CJSC MOPT(s) R-MOLCOM, a subsidiary of the Company, to one of its Director has been fully repaid in August 2009.

In February 2007, the Company has granted a loan of EUR 216,068 to OTT & CO S.A.. This loan had a maturity date on 1st March 2008 and an interest rate of 9% per year payable at the repayment date (the "Company Receivable").

In May 2008, the Company granted a loan of USD 825,000 to Urso Verde S.A., a Luxembourg subsidiary of OTT & CO S.A. This loan had a final repayment date as of 15 May 2009 and an interest rate of 10% per year payable at repayment date. On 30 April 2009, Urso Verde S.A. pledged 90,660 Company shares to the benefit of the Company in order to secure the repayment of the loan. The pledged shares have been called in June 2009 by the Company. In August 2009, 90,000 of the shares were sold for an aggregate amount of EUR 812,250 leaving a surplus of EUR 132,298 compared to the amount of loan to be repaid that Urso Verde S.A, requested to be returned in the form of shares, which has been settled as described in the next paragraph. The unsold 660 Company shares were transferred back to OTT & Co. S.A. pursuant to an instruction of Urso Verde S.A..

On 24 March 2010, Urso Verde S.A., OTT & CO S.A. and the Company have agreed to restructure their debts described in the previous two paragraphs. Pursuant to the agreement dated 24 March 2010, Urso Verde S.A. assigned its receivable against the Company, amounting to a total of EUR 138,985 (EUR 132,298, plus interest of EUR 6,687 as of 24 March 2010, being surplus left after sale of shares, "Urso Verde Receivable"), to OTT & CO S.A. The Company and OTT & CO S.A. agreed to offset the Urso Verde Receivable amounting to EUR 138,985 with the Company Receivable, amounting to EUR 276,058 (EUR 216,068 principal, plus interest accrued of EUR 59,990) as of 24 March 2010, leaving EUR 137,073, being the outstanding principal of the Company Receivable as of this date.

On 30 November 2010, Orco Charter d.o.o., a wholly owned subsidiary of OTT & CO S.A., OTT & CO S.A. and the Company have agreed to further restructure their debts.

As of that date, Orco Charter was also owed by Orco Adriatic d.o.o., a fully owned subsidiary of the Company, an amount of EUR 618. Orco Charter assigned to OTT & CO S.A. its receivables against Blue Yachts and Orco Adriatic (jointly, the "Orco Charter Receivables"). OTT & CO S.A. further assigned the Orco Charter Receivables to the Company for a consideration of EUR 180,769 (becoming the "Ott & Co Receivable") to be offset with the Company Receivable (described in previous paragraph) against OTT & CO S.A. amounting to EUR 145,556, including accrued interests. As such, the Company Receivable against OTT & CO S.A. pursuant to the loan of 22 February 2007 was settled and fully repaid as of the date of agreement. As at 31 December 2010, after restructuring and settlements described above, the Company has a receivable amounting to EUR 180,151 against Blue Yachts and a receivable amounting to EUR 618 against Orco Charter.

On 16 February 2007, the Company has granted a loan of EUR 61,732 to Steven Davis, one former executive of the Company with maturity date on 1 March 2008. In 2009, the loan has been fully impaired as a result of the dispute on the termination of the employment contract of Steven Davis. As at 31 December 2010, litigation is pending in front of Luxembourg court.

Steven Davis also benefited from a loan of CZK 1,520,000 (EUR 56,438) from Orco Project Management s.r.o. (now Orco Prague, a.s.), a fully owned subsidiary of the Company, granted on 20 November 2006, with maturity date at 31 December 2008. In 2009, the Company has launched legal action to recoup this receivable and the loan has been fully impaired. In 2010, the first instance court in Prague pronounced a judgment by which Mr. Davis shall return to Orco Prague a.s. CZK 1,020,000, but accepted Mr. Davis"s defense counterclaim for CZK 500,000. Orco Prague a.s. appealed the decision with respect to CZK 500,000. Mr. Davis already paid CZK 1,020,000. Orco Prague a.s. also sued Mr. Davis for CZK 700,000 for unjust enrichment and IPB Real a.s. sued Mr. Davis for CZK 86,000 for unpaid rent. These litigations are pending as at 31 December 2010.

Transactions with the Endurance Real Estate Fund

The Group is the sponsor of a Luxembourg regulated closed end umbrella investment fund dedicated to qualified investors, the Endurance Real Estate Fund. This fund has opted for the form of a "Fonds Commun de Placement". The Company is the shareholder of the management company of the Fund and has also invested in the three sub-funds existing as at 31 December 2010 (see note 12). As at 31 December 2010, the Group"s subscription to the office I, office II and residential sub-funds represent respectively 16.16%, 15.69% and 5.79% of the total subscription (in 2009, 16.16%, 8.29% and 7.98% respectively).

Orco"s remuneration from the office and residential sub-funds amounting to EUR 3.5 Million in 2010 (EUR 4.2 Million in 2009) is linked to:

  • the placement fee of a maximum of 2.5% of the committed funds of the investors
  • the management fee of 2% per year calculated on the called subscriptions
  • acquisition fee of 1% calculated on the value of the assets bought or sold by the fund.

As at 31 December 2010, open invoices for unpaid management fees amounted to EUR 8.8 Million (EUR 7.2 Million as at December 2009). The investment process foresees that any investment proposed by the fund manager has first to be approved by the investment committee. This committee is made of a representative of each investor. The Company provided a subordinated bridge loan to BB C – Building E, k.s., a Czech subsidiary of the Endurance Fund, pursuant to the loan agreement dated 15 October 2010. The loan was used to cover an extraordinary payment required by the financing bank. The loan amounting to EUR 700,000 has a final repayment date of 26 August, 2013 and bears an annual interest of 30%.

Besides the fund management, there are transactions between the Group and Endurance Fund companies as a consequence of OPG companies renting offices in Endurance Fund buildings and OPG companies rendering administrative, financial or property management services. These transactions resulted in the recognition of EUR 0.7 Million revenue (EUR 1.2 Million in 2009) and EUR 0.5 Million expenses (EUR 1.3 Million in 2009). They also resulted as at 31 December 2010 in a net receivable of EUR 0.4 Million (a net payable of EUR 0.3 Million as at 31 December 2009).

In 2007, the Group sold in the form of Future Purchase Contract 24 apartments to a subsidiary of the residential Endurance sub-fund for a total amount of EUR 11.1 Million. In 2009, the investment board of the Fund decided to cancel this acquisition and the advance payment of EUR 1.3 Million has been registered in the consolidated income statement.

32 Events after balance sheet date

a) Capital increases by 3.1 Million new shares for a total equity amount of EUR 16.2 Million and their legal challenge

In April 2010, the Company completed three different capital increases for a total equity amount of EUR 16.2 Million.

These capital increases were legally challenged by certain shareholders. First, three of the Company"s minority shareholders acting in concert, Millenius Investments S.A., Clannathone Stern S.A. and Bugle Investments Ltd (collectively the "Applicants") introduced claims against the Company and its new shareholders with the aim to cancel the capital increases.

On 24 January 2011, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier ("CSSF") approved the prospectus for the new shares issued in the second and third capital increases. The prospectus has been duly passported with the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers on 25 January 2011. Consequently, the Company applied for listing the corresponding shares for trading on the regulated markets of NYSE Euronext in Paris, the Prague Stock Exchange, the Warsaw Stock Exchange and the Budapest Stock Exchange. As of the publication of this report, all four above-mentioned stock exchanges admitted the 2,020,000 ordinary shares of the Company to trading.

On 22 February 2011, the Company announced that a settlement agreement was reached by Orco Property Group and the Applicants. As a result, the parties have agreed to end the legal procedures initiated by Millenius, Fideicom, Clannathone and Bugle which aimed to cancel the resolutions adopted by the General Assembly of 8 July, 2008 and the capital increases of 6, 8 and 14 April, 2010. Millenius, Fideicom, Clannathone and Bugle have formally and irrevocably agreed to withdraw from all legal proceedings and abandon the positions they took during the course of these proceedings. Orco Property Group has accepted their withdrawal and abandonment without reservation.

Acquisition of own shares

By a letter dated February 21, 2011, Orco Property Group received an official notification from Office II Invest S.A., indirectly owned by Orco Property Group, according to which Office II Invest S.A. holds directly 624,425 ordinary shares of Orco Property Group, equal to 4,44% of the total voting rights in Orco Property Group. Since Office II Invest S.A. is indirectly owned by Orco Property Group, the voting rights attached to 624,425 shares held by Office II Invest are suspended.

b) ORCO Germany and HGHI to co-develop Leipziger Platz

In November 2010, ORCO Germany confirmed that it would sell the project to High Gain House Investments GmbH (HGHI), a local developer, while co-developing the plot into a mixed project made of a shopping centre, offices and residential units for a total of 72,600 sqm NLA. On 31 January 2011, the transaction has been closed for a net sales price of EUR 89 Million (for the first three instalments), plus an additional payment of EUR 30 Million payable after finalization of the project.

The transaction is executed in several instalments. The first part of the sales price of EUR 67 Million has been paid in January 2011 and has been solely used to repay the bank debt for the project. A second part was paid in February 2011. A third part is deferred to cover for project development risks overtaken by ORCO for a maximum amount of EUR 10 Million. The last additional payment will become due after finalization of the project. As the transaction was completed after year-end, it will be reflected in Q1 2011 accounts as an asset sale.

c) Dispute with Croatian Privatization Fund ("CPF")

In 2005, the Company entered into a Shareholders" Agreement with the Croatian Privatization Fund ("CPF") regarding the formerly state owned company Suncani Hvar dd.

In sharp contrast to the Group"s financial (approximately EUR 60 Million) and managerial commitment, the CPF repeatedly breached many of its contractual obligations. Moreover, on 12 July 2010, slightly before the expiration date of the agreement, the CPF sent a formal letter improperly alleging that the Company breached the terms of the agreement and that as such, the CPF was entitled to unilaterally terminate it.

On 6 January 2011, the Company filed a Notice of Dispute with the Croatian Prime Minister"s office as a first step of an international arbitration pursuant to the Belgo/Luxembourg-Croatia and France-Croatia bilateral treaties.

An agreement has been finalized in March 2011 with the CPF (Croatian state privatization fund holding 32% of the shares of Suncanni Hvar d.d.). This agreement is a first step aiming at putting an end to the different shareholders disputes and assuring long term financing of the business.

The parties have agreed to convene a General Meeting of Shareholders in April 2011 in order to reduce the indebtedness of the Company by HRK 41.21 Million by swapping parts of the existing shareholders loans into the Company's equity and to release of a total amount of HRK 22.2 Million liability in shareholder loans interest, which the two major shareholders have agreed to write-off. In addition, in order to resolve shareholders' disputes from the past, an independent body "Expert Group" will be established. At the same time, the CPF has committed to tackle all unresolved ownership disputes within the next 12 months.

Furthermore, a framework for the joint assistance of the Company has been agreed, ensuring the continuation of its business, which sees the CPF matching Orco's shareholder loan by providing a new loan to the Company in the amount of 19.9 Million HRK.
