Independent auditors' report

The Shareholders Deyaar Development PJSC

Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Deyaar Development PJSC ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Group"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (comprising a separate consolidated statement of profit or loss and a consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income), changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and their preparation in compliance with the applicable provisions of the UAE Federal Law No. 2 of 2015, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2015, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Notes

(forming part of the consolidated financial statements)

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. 0. Box 30833, Dubai, United Arab Emirates ("UAE"). The Company is listed on Dubai Financial market.

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

2 Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. Except for the change in accounting policy for revenue recognition, as a result of early adoption of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Group has consistently applied the accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

2.1 Basis of preparation

These consolidated financial statements present the financial position and results of the operations and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries (together, "the Group") and the Group's interest in equity accounted investees (Note 34).

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with and comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the requirements ofUAE Federal Law No. 2 of2015.

UAE Federal Law No. 2of2015 being the Commercial Companies Law ("UAE Companies Law of 2015") was issued on I April 2015 and has come into force on I July 2015. Companies are allowed to ensure compliance with the new UAE Companies Law of2015 by 30 June 2016 as per the transitional provisions contained therein.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by_ the revaluation of investment properties and available-for-sale financial assets.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of ce1tain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in Note 4.

A number of new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual period beginning after l January 2015 and earlier application is permitted. Except for the early adoption of IFRS 15 as mentioned in Note 2.3, the other new standards and amendments have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group have been set out below.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.1 Basis of preparation (continued)

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9, published in July 2014, replaces the existing guidance in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instniments, including a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and the new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after l January 2018, with early adoption permitted.

The Group is assessing the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements resulting from the application ofIFRS 9.

The following new or amended standards are not expected to have a significant impact of the Group's consolidated financial statements:

  • IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts.
  • Accounting for Acquisitions oflnterests in Joint Operations (Amendments to IFRS 11).
  • Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation (Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38).
  • Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28).

I I_,

  • Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle- various standards.
  • Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28).
  • Disclosure Initiative (Amendments to IAS 1).

2.2 Basis of consolidation

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.2 Basis of consolidation (continued)

(a) Subsidiaries (continued)

The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-byacquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's propo1tionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree's identifiable net assets.

Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss.

(b) Eliminations on consolidation

Material inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Profits and losses resulting from inter-company transactions that are recognised in assets are also eliminated. Consolidated financial statements are prepared using unifo1m accounting policies for like transactions. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(c) Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investor's· share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The Group's investment in joint venture includes goodwill identified on acquisition.

The Group's share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in associates is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Group and its associate are recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investor's interests in the associates. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transfeITed. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Notes (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.2 Basis of consolidation (continued)

(d) Joint ventures

The Group's interests in j0intly controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is 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 venh1res, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of joint ventures. The Group's investment in joint venture includes goodwill identified on acquisition.

The Group dete1mines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in joint ventures is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impaitment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the joint venture and its carrying value and recognises the amount in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Group and its joint venture are recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investor's interests in the joint venture. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of joint ventures have been changed where necessa1y to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

2.3 Change in accounting policy

Except for the early adoption of IFRS 15 and the corresponding changes below, the Group has consistently applied the accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers

IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers was issued in May 2014 and is effective from annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018 either based on a full retrospective or modified application, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 15 replaces existing revenue recognition guidance and outlines a single comprehensive model of accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers that is based on transfer of control. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity is entitled in exchange for transfen'ing goods or services to a customer.

The Group has reviewed the impact oflFRS 15 and accordingly elected to early adopt IFRS 15 with effect from 1 Januaiy 2015, as the Group considers it to be a better reflection of the business performance of the Group. The Group has applied IFRS 15 using the cumulative effect method i.e., by recognising the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity as at 1 Januaiy 2015. Therefore, the comparative information has not been restated and continue to be reported in accordance with the previous accounting policy.

The details and the quantitative impact of the change in accounting policy is as follows:

Revenue from sale of properties

The Group previously recognised revenue for sale of prope1ties in the consolidated statement of profit or loss when the risks and rewards of ownership were transferred to the buyer. The significant risks and rewards were deemed to be transferred when the title deed was registered in the name of the buyer or in ce1tain circumstances when equitable interest in the property vest with the buyer before legal title passes. In the current year, upon early adoption of IFRS 15, revenue is recognized as and when the perfonnance obligation of the Group is satisfied. Also refer note 2.20.

2.3 Change in accounting policy (continued)

Sales commission

The Group previously recognised sales commission related to sale of properties as selling expenses when these were incurred. Under IFRS 15, the Group capitalises those commission fees as costs of obtaining a contract when they are incremental and amortises them consistently with the pattern of revenue for the related contract. If the expected amo1tization period is one year or less, then the commission fee is expensed when incurred.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Segment reporting

Operating segments are repo1ted in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.

2.5 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 prima1y economic environment in which the entity operates ("the functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in United Arab Emirates Dirham ("AED"), which is the Company's functional and the Group's presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of moneta1y assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss within "finance income or cost". All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss within "other operating income or expense".

(c) Group entities

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

  • (i) Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position;
  • (ii) Income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss are translated at average exchange rates; and
  • (iii) All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment m foreign operations, and of borrowings are taken to equity.

On the disposal of a foreign operation all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the equity holders of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.

In the case of a partial disposal that does not result in the Group losing control over a subsidia1y that includes a foreign operation, the propo1tionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.6 Property and equipment

Property and equipment are ::;tated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of property and equipment is its purchase cost together with any incidental costs of acquisition. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised 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.

r

' , _ , I

·-'

J

( 1

All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss during the financial year in which they are incwi-ed.

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method, at rates calculated to reduce the cost of assets to their estimated residual value over their expected useful lives, as follows:

Type of assets Years
Buildings 20
Leasehold improvements 4
Furniture and fixtures 4-5
Office equipment 4
Motor vehicles 4

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each rep01ting period. An asset's canying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the asset's canying amount. These are recognised within "other income or expense" in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost and includes prope1ty that is being developed for future use. When commissioned, capital work-in-progress is transferred to the respective category, and depreciated in accordance with the Group's policy.

2.7 ,Investment property

Recognition

Land and buildings owned by the Group for the purposes of generating rental income or capital appreciation or both are classified as investment prope1ties. Prope1ties that are being constructed or developed for future use as investment prope1ties are also classified as investment prope1ties.

Measurement

Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including related transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are accounted for using the fair value model under International Accounting Standard No. 40 "Investment Prope1ty". Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognized in the profit or loss.

2.7 Investment property (continued)

Measurement (continued)

When the Group begins to redevelop an existing investment property for continued future use as an investment property, the property remains as an investment property, which is measured based on fair value model and is not reclassified as development prope1ty during the redevelopment as an investment prope1ty.

Transferfrom properties held for sale to investment properties

Certain properties held for sale are transferred to investment properties when those prope1ties are either released for rental or for capital appreciation or both. The prope1ties held for sale are transfen-ed to investment properties at fair value on the date of transfer and gain arising on transfer is recognized in statement of profit or loss. Subsequent to initial measurement, such prope1ties are valued at fair value in accordance with the measurement policy for investment properties. Any gain arising on this remeasurement is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss on the specific prope1ty.

Transferfrom investment properties to properties held for sale

Prope1ties are transferred from investment prope1ties to properties held for development and sale when there is a change in intention to use the property. Such transfers are made at the fair value of the prope1ties at the date of transfer and gain arising on transfer is recognized in statement of profit or loss. Subsequent to initial measurement, such properties are valued at cost in accordance with the measurement policy for prope1ties held for development and sale.

Transfer from investment properties to owner-occupied property

If an investment prope1ty becomes owner-occupied prope1ty, it is reclassified as property and equipment. Its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting purposes.

Sale of investment properties

Certain investment prope1ties are sold in the ordinary course of business. No revenue and direct costs are recognized for sale of investment properties. Any gain or loss on disposal of sale of investment prope1ties (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and carrying amount) is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

2.8 Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the canying amounts of its non-financial assets, other than investment property, to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.8 Impairment of non-financial assets (continued) .-

A cash generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that are largely independent from other assets and groups. For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are , largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impainnent losses, if any, are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

2.9 Financial assets

2.9.1 Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the categories set out below. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management detennines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

(a) Loans and receivables

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 statement of financial position date, which are classified as noncurrent assets. Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Loans and receivables are classified as trade and other receivables, due from related patties, and cash and cash equivalents (Notes l 0, 11 and 12) in the consolidated statement of financial position.

(b) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories of financial assets. They are included in noncurrent assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within twelve months of the end of the reporting period.

2.9.2 Recognition and measurement

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade-date, being the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or where the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Changes in the fair value of the available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income. Dividends on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as patt of other income when the Group's right to receive payments is established.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.10 Impairment of financial assets

(a) Assets carried at amortised cost

The Group assesses at the end of each repo1i:lng period whether the1'e is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's can-ying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor's credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impaitment loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

(b) Assets classified as available-for-sale

In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss - is removed from equity and recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss on equity instruments are not reversed through the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

2.11 Properties held for development and sale

Land and buildings identified as held for sale, including buildings under construction, are classified as such and are stated at the lower of cost and estimated net realisable value. The cost of work-in-progress comprises construction costs and other related direct costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less cost of completion and selling expenses.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.12 Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for properties sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

·Trade and other receivables are recognised 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 original effective interest rate.

The cariying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

2.13 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other sh01tterm highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, net of bank overdrafts. In the consolidated statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

2.14 Employee benefits

(a) End of service benefits to non-UAE nationals

The provision for staff terminal benefits is based on . the liability that would arise if the employment of all staff were terminated at the reporting date and is calculated in accordance with the provisions of UAE Federal Labour Law and the relevant local laws applicable to overseas subsidiaries. Management considers these as long-term obligations and accordingly they are classified as long-term liabilities.

(b) Pension and social security policy within the U.A.E

The Group is a member of the pension scheme operated by the Federal Pension General and Social Security Authority. Contributions for eligible UAE National employees are made and charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss, in accordance with the provisions of Federal Law No. 7of1999 relating to Pension and Social Security Law.

2.15 Advances from customers

Instalments received from buyers, for properties sold or services performed, prior to meeting the revenue recognition criteria, are recognised as advances from customers. If their settlement, through revenue recognition or refund, is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current liabilities. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.16 Trade payables 0

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are 0lassified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. These are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amo1tised cost using the effective interest method.

2.17 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amo1tised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs.

2.18 Borrowings costs

General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

2.19 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be requiretl to settle the obligation using a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the obligation. Increases in provisions due to the passage of time are recognised as interest expense.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.20 Revenue recognition

As a result of early adoption of IFRS 15 with effect from 1 January 2015, the Group has applied the following accounting policy with effect from 1 January 2015 (Note 2.3). .

r

r

u

I I

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group's activities. '

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. Revenue is recognised when the Group transfers control over a product or service to a customer.

(a) Revenue from sale of properties

The Group recognises revenue from sale of properties based on a five step model as set out in IFRS 15:

  • Step 1 Identify the contract(s) with a customer: A contract is defined as an agreement between two or more patties that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for every contract that must be met.
  • Step 2 Identify the performance obligations in the contract: A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer a good or service to the customer.
  • Step 3 Determine the transaction price: The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or service to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
  • Step 4 Allocate the trnnsaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: For a contract that has more than one performance obligation, the Group will allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount that depicts the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation.
  • Step 5 Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Group satisfies a petformance obligation and recognises revenue over time, if one of the following criteria is met:

    1. The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group's performance as the Group performs; or
    1. The Group's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or
    1. The Group's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

For performance obligations where one of the above conditions are not met, revenue ts recognised at the point in time at which performance obligation is satisfied.

When the Group satisfies a performance obligation by delivering the promised goods or services, it creates a contract asset based on the amount of consideration earned by the perfonnance. Where the amount of consideration received from a customer exceeds the amount of revenue recognised, this gives rise to a contract liability.

l

l J

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.20 Revenue recognition (continued)

(b) F01feiture income

Fo1feiture income is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss when, in the case of prope11ies sold and not yet recognised as revenue, a customer does not fulfil to the contractual payment terms. This is deemed to take place when, despite rigorous follow-up with the defaulted customer, as per the procedures set out by the Dubai Real Estate Regulatory Authority, the customer continues to default on the contractual terms.

(c) Service revenue

Revenue from services such as prope11y management and facilities management is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.

(d) Leasing income

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

(e) Finance income

Finance income is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss on a time-propotiion basis using the effective yield method.

(/) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive the dividend is established.

2.21 Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is i·ecognised as a liability in the Group's consolidated financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders.

2.22 Leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.23 Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are ,offset and the net amount is repo1ted in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and l there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability ] simultaneously.

3 Financial risk management

3.1 Financial risk factors

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.

Risk management is carried out by the senior management under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Management evaluates financial risks in close co-ordination with the Group's operating units.

Market risk

Currency risk

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.

The Group does not have any significant exposure to foreign currency risk since the majority of transactions are denominated in AED, US Dollars or other currencies, whereby the AED or other currencies are pegged to the US Dollar.

Price risk

The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk through investments held by the Group and classified as available-for-sale.

Cash.flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Group has an insignificant interest rate risk arising from interest bearing bank deposits. Bank deposits are placed with banks offering favourable rates. The Group's interest rate risk arises from its interest bearing liabilities.

At 31 December 2015, if profit rates on borrowings had been I% higher/lower with all other variables held constant, profit for the year would have been AED 5,089,000 lower/higher (2014: profit for the year would have been 7,015,000 lower/higher), mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.

3 Financial risk management (continued)

3.1 Financial risk factors (continued)

Credit risk

The Group is exposed to credit risk in relation to its monetary assets, mainly trade receivables, due from related patties, and bank deposits. Trade receivables are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. The Group has no other significant concentrations of credit risk. Bank deposits are limited to high-credit-quality financial institutions. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure at the reporting date. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the repo1ting date was:

2015 2014
AED'OOO AED'OOO
Long term fixed deposits 51,650 53,559
Trade and other receivables 102,080 173,912
Due from related parties 1,951,333 1,959,974
Bank balances 821,493 993, 113
2,926,556 3,180,558

Liquidity risk

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. The table below analyses the Group's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the statement of financial position to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

3.2 Capital risk management

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in oi·der to maximise returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

l /

. J

\ 1_l

', }

r ) ,._]

Ll

1· ] L

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

There were no changes in the Group's approach to capital management during the year. Except for complying with certain provisions of the UAE Federal Law No. 2 of 2015, the Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

3.3 Fair value estimation

The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values, and management has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values.

The management regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the management assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to suppo1t the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements ofIFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.

  • Level I: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level l that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The following table presents the Group's financial assets that are measured at fair value:

Level 1
AED'OOO
Level 2

Level 3

As at 31December2015
Available-for-sale financial assets 23,893 23,893
As at 31 December 2014
Available-for-sale financial assets 24,841 24,841

The canying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to the shmi-term nature of trade receivables. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. Other receivables and payables approximate their fair values.

4 Critical accounting estimates andjudgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

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 have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the canying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(a) Valuation of investment properties

The Group follows the fair value model under IAS 40 where investment property owned for the purpose of generating rental income or capital appreciation, or both, are fair valued based on valuation carried out by an independent registered valuer, who carried out the valuation in accordance with RICS Appraisal and Valuation Manual issued by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors and the internal valuation by the Group's finance depaitment.

The fair values have been detennined by taking into consideration market comparables and I or the discounted cash flows where the Company has on-going lease airnngements. In this regard, the Group's current lease arrangements, which are entered into on an arm's length basis and which are comparable to those for similar prope1ties in the same location, have been taken into account.

In case where the Company does not have any on-going lease arrangements, fair values have been determined, where relevant, having regard to recent market transactions for similar prope1ties in the same location as the Group's investment prope1ties. These values are adjusted for differences in key attributes such as prope1ty size.

Management of the Company has reviewed the assumption and methodology used by the independent registered valuer and in their opinion these assumptions and methodology seems reasonable as at the reporting date considering the current economic and real estate outlook in UAE.

(b) Recoverability of investment in a joint venture

Recoverability of investment in a joint venture is an area involving significant management judgement, requiring assessment as to whether the carrying value of assets can be supported by the fair value of investment prope1ty and property held for development and sale in the joint venture.

For investment property under construction, management uses a valuation technique based on a discounted cash flow model. In calculating the net present value of the future cash flows, certain assumptions are required to be made in respect of the impairment reviews. The key assumptions on which management has based its cash flow projections when determining the recoverable amount of the assets are as follows:

  • The discount rate of 10.87% based on the Group's weighted average cost of capital with a risk premium reflecting the relative risks in the markets in which the businesses operate.
  • Growth rate of3.3% based on a conservative view of the long-term rate of growth.

Management assesses the impairment for property held for development and sale in the joint venture whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the canying value may not be recoverable. Factors that are considered important which could trigger an impairment review include evidence that no profits or cash flows will be generated from the related asset.

(c) IFRS 15 Revenue.from contracts with customers

The application of revenue recognition policy 111 accordance with IFRS 15 has required management to make the following judgements:

I

' j

-\ . l

J

i_J

Satisfaction of pe1formance obligation

The Group is required to assess each of its contracts with customers to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied over time or at a point in time in order to determine the appropriate method of recognising revenue. The Group has assessed that based on the sale and purchase agreements entered into with customers and the provisions of relevant laws and regulations, where contracts are entered into to provide real estate assets to customer, the Group does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and usually has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. In these circumstances the Group recognises revenue over time and in other cases, revenue is recognised at a point in time.

Determination of transaction prices

The Group is required to determine the transaction prices in respect of each of its contracts with customers. In making such judgement the Group assesses the impact of any variable consideration in the contract, due to discounts or penalties, the existence of any significant financing component in the contract and any non-cash consideration in the contract.

Transfer of control in contracts with customers

In cases where the Group determines that performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, revenue is recognised when control over the asset that is subject of the contract is transferred to the customer. In the case of contracts to sell real estate assets this is generally when the unit has been handed over to the customer.

Allocation of transaction price to pe1formance obligation in contracts with customers

The Group has elected to apply the input method in allocating the transaction price to performance obligations where revenue is recognised over time. The Group considers that the use of input method which requires revenue recognition on the basis of the Group's efforts to the satisfaction of the performance obligation provides the best reference of revenue actually earned. In applying the input method, the Group estimates the cost to complete the projects in order to determine the amount of revenue to be recognised.

Cost to complete the projects

The Group estimates the cost to complete the projects in order to determine the cost attributable to revenue being recognised. These estimates include the cost of design and consultancy, construction, potential claims by contractors as evaluated by the project consultant and the cost of meeting other contractual obligations to the customers.

    1. During 2014, the Company reclassified its portfolio of retail units with a carrying value of AED 118 million from property held for sale to investment properties as a result of change in management's intention for use of these units as reflected in the Company's relevant business model. The units were reclassified to investment prope1ties at their fair value on the date of transfer resulting in a fair value gain of AED 50 million. The gain was recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in accordance with the accounting policy adopted for the measurement of investment prope1ties.
  • ii. In the current year, the Company has reclassified a plot of land from investment properties to property and equipment. This prope1ty was earlier recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Company in accordance with the fair value accounting policy adopted for the measurement of investment properties and upon reclassification, the carrying value of AED 95.3 million was deemed to be the cost of the property in accordance with the accounting policy adopted for recognition and measurement of prope1ty and equipment. This reclassification was a result of the change in management's intention to use the property as reflected by the Company's relevant business model. Based on the management's assessment of the fair value of the property reclassified, there is no material difference between the can-ying value of the plot of land and its fair value on the transfer date and accordingly no gain or loss has been recognised in the Company's consolidated profit or loss upon transfer.

Investment prope1ty is recognised at fair value and categorised within the level of the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to fair value measurement in their entirety. The different levels have been defined as follows:

  • Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level l);
  • e Inputs other than quoted prices included within level l that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2); and
  • Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

Direct operating expenses recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss include AED 2,749,678 (2014: AED 2,773,726) and rental income recognised in consolidated statement of profit or loss incl.udes AED 30,265,347 (2014: AED 25,266,159) from investment property (Note 20).

Bank borrowings are secured on investment prope1ty to the value of AED 80,000,000 (2014: AED 158,500,000) (Note 15).

Valuation processes

Retail units included in the Group's investment properties are valued by independent professionally qualified valuers who hold a recognised relevant professional qualification and have experience in the locations and segments of the investment properties valued. For all investment prope1ties, their cmTent use equates to the highest and best use. Valuation of UAE office building is valued by the Groups' finance depa1tment. The Group's finance department includes a team that also reviews the val.uations performed by the independent valuers for financial rep01ting purposes. Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between management and the independent valuers at least once in eve1y six months.

At each financial year end, the finance depaitment:

  • verifies all major inputs to the independent valuation report;
  • assesses property valuation movements when compared to the prior year valuation rep01t; and
  • holds discussions with the independent valuers.

Information about fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are as follows:

A change of 100 basis points in management's estimate at the reporting date would have increased/( decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown above.

Valuation techniques underlying management's estimation of fair value:

For office building, the valuation was dete1mined using the income capitalisation method based on following significant unobservable inputs:

Estimated rental value (per sqft p.a.) based on the actual location, type and quality of the properties and supported by the terms of any existing lease, other contracts or external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties;

Cash flow discount rate reflecting current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and timing of cash flows;

For retail units, the valuation was determined using the indicative fair values of these investment properties as at 31 December 2015 provided by an independent firm of surveyors and prope1ty consultant. The surveyor has used sales comparison method to determine the fair values of retail units.

9 Properties held for development and sale (continued)

Management's assessment of the net realisable value of the properties held for development and sale resulted in a net reversal of impairment amounting to AED 9,102,000 (2014: AED 158,949,000), which was recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss under "direct I operating costs" (Note 21).

Net realisable value has been determined on the basis of committed sale price if the remaining receivable amount is lower than the current market value of the units booked by customers. For units not yet booked by customers, net realisable value takes into consideration the current market.

In the cun·ent year, the Company reclassified properties under construction of the value of AED 104.5 million (2014: AED 10.6 million) to propeity and equipment based on change in management's intention to use the prope1ties as reflected by the Company's relevant business model.

Residential units in a building and a plot of a land with a total carrying value of AED 290,687,000 (2014: AED 292,756,000) are mortgaged under Islamic finance obligations (Note 15).

For land held for future development and use, management is currently evaluating feasibility of the projects and considering alternative viable and profitable options.

(c) Due from related parties (continued)

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

  • t. The sale consideration is receivable on or before 1 June 2016;
    1. 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 dete1mined by an independent valuation expert, to be selected by the seller and purchaser; and
    1. 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 was reduced by approximately AED 731 million, as a result of the purchaser's commitment to settle this balance on demand, on or before 31 December 2016, in cash or in kind, or a combination of both.

During 2014, pursuant to the addendum to original sale and purchase agreement for a plot of land with the master developer, the Group had entered into an amendment agreement with the related party, which resulted in a fu1ther reduction of the sale consideration by AED 141 million. Further, the related patty had also transferred plots of land thereby settling receivable balance of AED 669,307,510 against the outstanding receivable (Note 9).

In the cun-ent year, the Company settled an amount of AED 108 million relating to certain plots on behalf of the related patty resulting in reduction of the Company's commitments. The receivable amount is reflected in the books of the Company after deducting the future committed payments of AED 170 million (Note 30) relating to rights to purchase plots from the sale consideration as per the sale and purchase agreement. Management is currently evaluating various options and expects that the balance will be settled during 2016.

  • The financial institution will make a 20% of the outstanding amount as a down payment upon signing the restructuring plan;
  • 65% of the amount will be paid in monthly predetermined instalments, over a period of 12 years and will carry interest rate of2% per annum; and
  • 15% of the remaining amount will be converted into conve1tible contingent instruments and will be settled in cash or the financial institution's equity shares or combination of both after a period of 12 years. This will carry a profit rate of I% payment in kind.

In 2014, upon signing the restructuring plan, and considering the key terms of the same, management had recognized an impairment charge of AED 15.3 million (Note 23) and present value impact of AED 6.7 million on the non-current fixed deposit. In 2015, the Company received AED 2.3 million against convertible contingent instruments and has accordingly written back the impairment charge by that amount.

As at 31 December 2015, the Company has cumulatively received AED 30.3 million (2014: AED 25 million) from the financial institution towards the repayment of deposit including early repayment of some of the instalments.

The Islamic finance obligations represent Ijarah, Murabaha and Mudarabah facilities obtained from Dubai Islamic Bank PJSC (a significant shareholder), and from other local Islamic banks and financial institutions. The facilities were availed to finance the properties under construction. The Islamic finance obligations carried an effective profit rate of EIBOR + 3%, with a minimum of 3.75%, to 5.5% per annum (2014: EIBOR + 3%, with a minimum of 5%, to 5.5% per annum), and were repayable in monthly or quarterly instalments over a period of five to eight years from the reporting date (2014: five to ten years).

During the current year, the Group has signed restructuring agreements of Ijarah and Murabaha facilities with the banks, whereby these facilities have been restructured into finance obligations repayable over five to eight years from the reporting date, with a revised profit rates of EIBOR + 2.5% and 3%, with a minimum of3.75% and 4% respectively.

The Islamic finance obligations are secured by m01tgages over properties classified under properties held for development and sale (Note 9), property and equipment (Note 5) and investment property (Note 6).

In 2014, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with a financial institution to repay the Islamic financial obligation. In accordance with the settlement agreement, the balance amount payable was classified between current and non-current portion after recognizing the present value impact on non-current portion. The terms of settlement agreement resulted in a reduction of principal amount by AED 60 million and a waiver of accrued profit by AED 87 .92 million. Accordingly, an amount of AED 147.9 million was recognized as an income in the previous year. As at the repo1ting date, the Islamic finance obligations included facility obtained from that financial institution amounting to AED 45 million (2014: AED 145 million), which does not carry any profit rate and is repayable within one year from the rep01ting date.

26 Write back of provision I (provision for impairment) against advance for purchase of properties

In 2014, the Company recorded an impairment provision of AED 68.6 million against advance paid for purchase of prope11ies of AED 114 million (Note 10 (ii)), which was expected to be swapped with other plots of land and cash payment due to changes in the master development plan. The provision was reflective of the initial assessment which was determined on the basis of management's best estimate of the value of the new land expected to be received by the Company. In 2015, the Company signed a sale and purchase agreement for a new plot of land with the master developer and recognized this land including expected legal I registration charges (Note 9). The Company therefore recorded an impaiiment provision based on the net realisable value of the property as assessed and valued by an independent and professionally qualified valuer (Note 9). On the basis of the fair value of land, cash received and registration charges for land, the Company has written back a net provision of AED 157.8 million during the year. The legal formalities to complete the transfer of land are under progress as at the rep011ing date.

31 Contingent liabilities (continued)

The Company is also a party to certain legal cases wherein the Company did not accept the handover due to the status of infrastructure of certain plots of land. Based on review of opinion provided by the legal advisors, management is of the opinion that no cash outflow is expected against penalty charges claimed against the Company in the legal cases. Considering the circumstances and merits of each of the cases, the Company has not recognized any provision in respect of these penalty charges. The Company has elected not to present the complete disclosures as required by IAS 37 "Provision and Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" as management is ofthe view that since the legal claims are sub-judice and are disputed, therefore this information may be prejudicial to their position on these matters. Also refer Note 30.

Ce1tain other contingent liabilities may arise during the normal course of business, which based on the information presently available, either cannot be quantified at this stage or in the opinion of the management is without any merit. However, in the opinion of management, these contingent liabilities are not likely to result in any cash outflows for the Group.
