REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Board of Directors Deyaar Development PJSC Dubai United Arab Emirates

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Deyaar Development PJSC (the "Company") and its Subsidiaries (together the "Group") as at 30 June 2019 and the related condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six month period then ended. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the 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 financial information is not prepared, in all material respects in accordance with IAS 34.

Other matter

The consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018 was audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on 20 February 2019. The interim financial information for the period ended 30 June 2018 were reviewed by another auditor who expressed an unmodified conclusion on those information on 29 July 2018.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

Legal status and activities $1.$

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

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

Basis of preparation and accounting policies $2.$

$2.1$ Basis of preparation

The interim financial information for the six month period ended 30 June 2019 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and the requirements of UAE Federal Law No. (2) of 2015.

Changes to significant accounting policies are described in note 2.3.

Summary of significant accounting policies $2.2$

Except for the changes in accounting for leases resulting from adoption of IFRS 16, the accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial information are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018. The Group had adopted IFRS 16 from 1 January 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.

Change in significant accounting policies $2.3$

$(i)$ IFRS 16 Leases

Policy applicable from 1 January 2019

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:

  • the contract involves the use of an identified asset this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;
  • the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 (continued)

Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued) $2.$

Change in significant accounting policies (continued) $2.3$

IFRS 16 Leases (continued) $(i)$

  • the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Group has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:
  • the Group has the right to operate the asset; or $\circ$
  • the Group designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it $\circ$ will be used.

This policy is applied to contracts entered into, or changed, on or after 1 January 2019.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

a) As a lessee

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

  • fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
  • variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
  • amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
  • the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 (continued)

Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued) $2.$

Change in significant accounting policies (continued) $2.3$

IFRS 16 Leases (continued) $(i)$

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in 'property, plant and equipment' and lease liabilities in 'loans and borrowings' in the statement of financial position.

b) As a lessor

When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.

To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a shortterm lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

The Group recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straightline basis over the lease term as part of 'other income'.

The accounting policies applicable to the Group as a lessor in the comparative period were not different from IFRS 16. However, when the Group was an intermediate lessor the sub-leases were classified with reference to the underlying asset.

Based on management's assessment, the application of IFRS 16 - Leases does not have a material impact on this interim financial information as a lessor or as a lessee and hence, the Group did not make any adjustments in this regard.

$3.$ Estimates and assumptions

The preparation of interim 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 the interim 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 2018 except for new significant judgement and key source of estimation uncertainty related to application of IFRS 16 which are described in note 2.3.

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 support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, 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.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 (continued)

Estimates and assumptions (continued) $3.$

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 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).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the change has occurred.

Financial risk management $\overline{\mathbf{4}}$ .

The Group's activities potentially expose it to a variety of financial risks as follows:

  • Market risk (including currency risk, price risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk)
  • Credit risk and liquidity risk.

These interim financial information does not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statement, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2018. The Group's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with that disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018.

Segmental information 5.

Operating segment

The Board of Directors are the Group's chief operating decision maker. The Board considers the business of the group as a whole for the purpose of decision making. Management has determined the operating segments based on segments identified for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance. The Group is organised into three major operating segments: property development, properties and facilities management and hospitality.

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.

In the current period, management has determined a new segment, "Hospitality" based on criteria established for segment reporting. Certain assets relating to this segment were completed and ready for use in the current period (note 6).

Geographic information

The carrying amount of total assets located outside the United Arab Emirates as at 30 June 2019 is AED 3.3 million (31 December 2018: AED 3.3 million).

6. Property and equipment

The property and equipment includes buildings, leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, office equipment, motor vehicle and capital work in progress.

During the period the Group has spent AED 57 million on capital work in progress relating to hotel and service apartment buildings. The Group has also reclassified additional units in a service apartment building amounting to AED 130.5 million from property held for sale based on change in use of these units (note 10). In the current period, the Group has put to use, capital work in progress representing certain units in a service apartment building and related assets amounting to AED 125.2 million. The Group has a policy of depreciating assets on a straight-line method, at rates calculated to reduce the cost of assets to their estimated residual value. When parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property and equipment. The Group depreciates buildings from 20 to 35 years and furniture and fixtures from 4 to 8 years. Furthermore, the depreciation expense of the Group in the current period amounted to AED 4.8 million.

Investment properties represent properties held at fair value model and any fair value gain/loss under the fair value model is treated in accordance with IFRS.

During the current period, the Group has reclassified additional units of parking spaces and stores from properties held for sale to investment properties as a result of change in use of these units. These units were reclassified to investment properties at their fair value resulting in a total fair value gain of AED 8.2 million and AED 2.6 million respectively (note 10).

The Group has also reclassified certain parking spaces from investment properties to properties held for sale as a result of change in use of these parking spaces. These parking spaces were earlier recognised in accordance with the fair value accounting policy adopted for measurement of the investment property and upon reclassification, the carrying value of the parking spaces was deemed to be its cost in accordance with accounting policy adopted for recognition and measurement of properties held for development and sale (note 10).

Furthermore, the Group has reclassified a certain unit from property, plant & equipment to investment property as a result of change in use of this unit. The unit was reclassified to investment properties at carrying value on the date of transfer.

Investment properties are recognised at fair value and categorised within the level 3 of the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to fair value measurement in their entirety.

Investment properties with carrying value of AED 250.02 million (31 December 2018: AED 248.7 million) are mortgaged against bank borrowings (note 13).

For retail units, parking spaces and store units, the valuation was determined using the indicative fair values of these investment properties as at 31 December 2018 provided by an independent professionally qualified valuer. The valuer has used sales comparison method to determine the fair values of these assets. Management believes that there was no material variance in the value of Group's investment properties at end of the current period.

In previous years, the Group had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for purchase of a share in a portfolio of investment properties in a real estate project. The advance is recoverable by means of transfer of the Group's share of properties in the project. In 2018, the Group had signed an agreement where the parties including the Group will jointly allocate the project's assets in proportion to the share of each party in the project. The allocation of the Group's share of properties is expected to be completed in 2019.

10. Properties held for development and sale

The properties held for development and sale includes land held for future development, properties under development and completed properties held in inventory.

Management's assessment of the net realisable value of the properties held for development and sale resulted in a net reversal of an impairment amounting to AED 1.24 million (for the year ended 31 December 2018: AED 1.3 million and for six month period ended 30 June 2018: AED 0.4 million), which was recognised in these condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss under "direct / operating costs".

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 expected market prices.

During the current period, the Group has reclassified additional units of parking spaces and stores to investment properties from properties held for sale as a result of change in use of these units. These units were reclassified to investment properties at their fair value on the date of transfer (note 7).

Furthermore, the Group has also reclassified certain units of parking spaces amounting to AED 7.2 million from investment properties to properties held for sale as a result of change in use of these units $(note 7).$

During the current period, the Group has reclassified additional units in a service apartment building amounting to AED 130.5 million based on change in use of these units (note 6).

Related party transactions and balances (continued) 11.

Due from related parties $(c)$

In 2010, the Group entered into a sale and purchase agreement with a related party (the "purchaser") to sell properties for a sale consideration agreed on by both parties as per the initial agreement of AED 3.648 million.

Following various amendments to the original agreement and partial settlement of the balance, the outstanding amount from the related party as at 30 June 2019 is AED 1,199 million (31 December 2018: AED 1,199 million) against which a provision for impairment amounting to AED 395 million exists. The outstanding balance based on the last amendment effective from 31 December 2018, is to be settled by the purchaser no later than 31 December 2019.

In 2018, the Group had signed an amendment and partial settlement agreement with the purchaser for partial settlement of receivable balance by AED 602 million. A portion of this receivable amounting to AED 311 million was settled through a plot of land which was recorded at its fair value (refer below and note 10).

Impairment provision

In 2018, provision for an amount of AED 652 million was recognised as an adjustment to equity as per transition requirements of IFRS 9. Subsequently, on partial settlement of receivable during the previous year, an amount of AED 225 million was written off against the provision for impairment. Furthermore, a reversal of provision for impairment based on updated estimates in expected credit loss model amounting to AED 32 million was recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018. To determine the provision for impairment, management had applied certain key assumptions and judgments in accordance with IFRS $9 -$ Financial Instruments in order to determine the expected credit loss which includes the use of various forward-looking information that could impact the timing and/or amount of recoveries.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 (continued)

Contingent liabilities 17.

At 30 June 2019, the Group had contingent liabilities in respect of performance bond and guarantees issued by a bank, in the ordinary course of business, amounting to AED 139.1 million (31 December 2018: AED 135.6 million). Also, the Group had contingent liabilities, on behalf of a subsidiary, in respect to guarantees issued by a bank amounting to AED 3.4 million (2018: AED 3.4 million). The Group anticipates that no material liabilities will arise from these performance and other guarantees.

The Group is also a party to certain legal cases in respect of certain plots of land and party to various potential claims from customers and, where necessary, makes adequate provisions against any potential claims. Such provisions are reassessed regularly to include significant claims and instances of potential litigations. Based on review of opinion provided by the legal advisors / internal legal team, management is of the opinion that no material cash outflow in respect of these claims is expected to be paid by the Group in these legal cases over and above the existing provision in the books of accounts. The Group has elected not to present the complete disclosures as required by IAS 37 "Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets" as management is of the 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 16.

Certain 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 significant cash outflows for the Group.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables, contract assets, due from related parties, bank balances and long term fixed deposit is assumed to be approximate their fair values keeping in view the period over which these are expected to be realised. 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.
