Independent Auditors' Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

To the Shareholders of Deyaar Development PJSC

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying March 31, 2019 condensed consolidated interim financial information of Devaar Development PJSC ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Group") which comprises:

  • the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at March 31, 2019;
  • the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2019,
  • the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the three month period ended March 31, 2019:
  • the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the three month period ended March 31, 2019;
  • the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three month period ended March 31, 2019; and
  • notes to the interim financial information. $\bullet$

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34. 'Interim Financial Reporting'. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated 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.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2019

$\mathbf{1}$ Legal status and activities

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

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

$\overline{2}$ Basis of preparation and accounting policies

$2.1$ Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated interim financial information for the three month period ended 31 March 2019 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim financial reporting'. The condensed consolidated 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.

This is the first set of Group's financial statements where IFRS $16 -$ Leases is applied. Changes to significant accounting policies are described in note 2.3.

$2.2^{\circ}$ Significant accounting policies

Except for the changes in accounting for leases resulting from adoption of IFRS 16, the accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed consolidated 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.

$2.3$ Change in significant accounting policies

$(i)$ 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 CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 (continued)

Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued) $\overline{2}$

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:
  • o the Group has the right to operate the asset; or
  • o the Group designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it 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.a 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 $\bullet$ 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 CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 (continued)

Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued) $\overline{2}$

Change in significant accounting policies (continued) $2.3$

$(i)$ IFRS 16 Leases (continued)

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 the condensed consolidated interim financial information as a lessor or as a lessee and hence, the Group did not make any adjustments in this regard.

$\overline{\mathbf{3}}$ Estimates and assumptions

The preparation of condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated 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 CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 (continued)

$\overline{\mathbf{3}}$ Estimates and assumptions (continued)

  • 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 recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the change has occurred.

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

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

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

5 Segmental information

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.

6 Investment properties (continued)

During the current period, the Company has reclassified additional parking spaces from properties held for sale to investment properties as a result of change in use of these parking spaces. These parking spaces were reclassified to investment properties at their fair value resulting in a total fair value gain of AED 8.2 million (Note 8).

Furthermore, the Company 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 8).

In 2018, the Company had reclassified certain retail units from properties held for sale to investment properties as a result of change in use of these retail units. The units were reclassified to investment properties at their fair value on the date of transfer based on a fair value assessment carried out by an external valuer resulting in a total fair value gain of AED 6.4 million (Note 8).

Investment properties are 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:

Investment properties with carrying value of AED 248.7 million (31 December 2018: AED 248.7 million) are mortgaged against bank borrowings (Note 11).

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.

Property and equipment $\overline{7}$

During the period, the Group has capitalised capital work in progress representing a hotel apartment building and related assets amounting to AED 79.7 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. Also refer Note 8.

8 Properties held for development and sale

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 0.6 million (for the year ended 31 December 2018: AED 1.3 million and for three month period ended 31 March 2018: AED 0.1 million), which was recognized in the 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 Company has reclassified additional 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 reclassified to investment properties at their fair value on the date of transfer (Note 6).

Furthermore, the Company has also reclassified certain 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 parking spaces (Note 6).

In the current period, the Company has recognised an amount of AED 116 million (for three month period ended 31 March 2018: AED 121 million) in condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss under "directs / operating costs" against revenue recognised of AED 143.1 million (for three month period ended 31 March 2018: AED 144.7 million).

For lands held for future development and use amounting to AED 827.8 million as at reporting date (31 December 2018: AED 826.8 million), management is currently evaluating feasibility of the projects and considering alternative viable profitable options as well as various offers from potential buyers.

16 Contingent liabilities

At 31 March 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 136.2 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 Company 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 Company in these legal cases over and above the existing provision in the books of accounts. 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 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 15.

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.
