Report on review of interim condensed consolidated financial statements

To the Board of Directors of Deyaar Development PJSC

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet of Deyaar Development PJSC ("the company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the group") as of 30 June 2011 and the related interim consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the period then ended. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34.

$\overline{2}$ BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

$2.1$ Basis of preparation

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2011 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to profit already recognised.

$2.2$ Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, except as discussed below:

IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (Amendment)

The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. It clarified the definition of a related party to simplify the identification of such relationships and to eliminate inconsistencies in its application. The revised standard introduces a partial exemption of disclosure requirements for government related entities. The adoption of this amendment did not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the group.

3 ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements made by the management in applying the group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010.

4 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

$4.1$ Financial risk factors

The group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, price risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the group's annual consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2010.

There has been no change in the management policies since the year end.

4.2 Liquidity risk factors

The group monitors its risk of a possible shortage of funds using a recurring liquidity forecasting tool. This tool considers the maturity of both its financial investments and financial assets (e.g. accounts receivable, other financial assets) and projected cash flows from operations.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2011 (continued)

$\boldsymbol{4}$ FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

$4.2$ Liquidity risk factors (continued)

The group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank facilities. The group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities, by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

5 SEGMENTAL INFORMATION

Operating segment:

For management purposes the group is organised into three major operating segments: Property development, electrical and mechanical works and properties and facilities management.

Management monitors the operating results of its operating segments for the purpose of making strategic decisions about performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss. Transactions between segments are conducted at estimated rates which approximate to market rates on an arm's length basis.

The Islamic finance obligations represent Ijarah and Mudarabah facilities obtained from Dubai Islamic Bank PJSC (a related party and majority shareholder), and from other local Islamic banks and financial institutions. The facilities are used to finance the properties under construction. The Islamic finance obligations carried an effective profit rate of 4.5% to 7.4% per annum (31 December 2010: 6.5% to 7.5% per annum). The obligations are payable between one to five years. Management is in process of negotiating revised repayment plans for these obligations. At the balance sheet date, where revised repayment plans were not agreed and the group was in default, the related borrowings have therefore been classified as current.

The Islamic finance obligations include an amount of AED 417,825,000 (31 December 2010: AED 463,475,000) obtained from the majority shareholder.

Other Islamic borrowings include an overdraft facility amounting to AED 128,400,000 (31 December 2010: AED 123,034,000) with a local Islamic bank and carries an effective profit rate based on EIBOR.

Other Islamic borrowings also include loans obtained to finance the purchase of motor vehicles and equipment. The loans are secured by mortgages over the vehicles and equipment purchased. These loans carry profit at an average rate of 4.3% per annum and are repayable in equal monthly instalments over a period of three to four years.
