1 LEGAL STATUS AND ACTIVITIES

Deyaar Development PJSC (the "Company") was incorporated and registered as a Public Joint Stock Company in the Emirate of Dubai, UAE on 10 July 2007. The registered address of the Company is P. O. Box 30833, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (together, "the Group") are property investment and development, brokering, facility and property management services.

This interim condensed consolidated financial information has been reviewed, not audited.

2 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Basis of preparation

This interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2013 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'. The interim condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012, 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 expected total annual profit or loss.

2.2 Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012, except as discussed below:

Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

IFRS 11, 'Joint Arrangements'

IFRS 11 was issued in May 2011 and supercedes IAS 30 'Interests in joint ventures' and SIC 13 'Jointly controlled entities – Non monetary contributions by venturers'.

Before 1 January 2013, the Group's interests in joint ventures were proportionately consolidated.

On 1 January 2013, the Group has applied the new policy for its interest in the joint ventures in accordance with the transition provisions of IFRS 11. The Group recognised its investment in joint ventures at the beginning of the earliest period presented (1 January 2012), as the aggregation of the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities previously proportionately consolidated by the Group. This is the deemed cost of the Group's investments in joint ventures for applying equity accounting.

2 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.2 Significant accounting policies (continued)

IFRS 11, 'Joint Arrangements' (continued)

Under the equity method of accounting, interests in joint ventures are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the post-acquisition profits or losses and movements in other comprehensive income. When the Group's share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in the joint ventures (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the joint ventures), the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the joint ventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The change in accounting policy has been applied as from 1 January 2012. There is no impact on the net assets of the periods presented.

The effects of the change in accounting policies on the consolidated balance sheet as at 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2012 and the statement of comprehensive income on 30 June 2012 are summarised below. The change in accounting policy has had no impact on earnings per share.

Restatements of the Group's assets and liabilities as at 1 January 2012 are as follows:

3 ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial information 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 this interim condensed consolidated financial information, 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 2012.

4 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

4.1 Financial risk factors

The Group's activities potentially 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 information does not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial information, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2012.

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

4.2 Liquidity risk factors

The Group monitors its risk of a possible shortage of funds using cash flow forecasts. These forecasts consider the maturity of both its financial investments and financial assets (e.g. accounts receivable, other financial assets) and projected cash flows from operations.

The Group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank 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 property 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.

Cash and cash equivalents include fixed deposits of AED 50,000,000 (31 December 2012: AED 40,000,000) deposited with a significant shareholder.

At 30 June 2013, the Group had bank borrowings from a significant shareholder of AED 362,630,000 (31 December 2012: AED 377,739,000).

In 2010, the Group entered into a sale and purchase agreement with a related party to sell properties with a carrying value of AED 1,337,846,000 and rights to purchase plots amounting to AED 899,589,000.

The salient terms of and conditions of the transaction were as follows:

  • i. The sale consideration is receivable on or before 1 June 2016;
  • ii. The sale consideration can be settled in cash or kind or a combination of both, at the discretion of the purchaser. Where settlement is in kind, the fair value of the assets transferred will be determined by an independent valuation expert, to be selected by the seller and purchaser; and
  • iii. The commitment on the remaining purchase price of the land held for development remains with the Group.

Following the amendments to the original agreement, the sale consideration has been reduced by AED 730 million, as a result of the purchaser's commitment to settle this balance on demand, in cash or in kind, or a combination of both. Management's expectation is that the receivable will be settled during the current year.
