INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
The Shareholders Deyaar Development PJSC
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Deyaar Development PJSC (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in the United Arab Emirates, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Other matter
The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2018 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 20 February 2019.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matters (continued)
| Key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| Valuation of properties held for development and sale | |
| The Group holds properties for development and sales of AED 1,281 million, which comprise completed residential and commercial propertie's (AED 282 million), land held for mixed-use development and sale (AED 828 million) and properties under construction (AED 171 million) (Note 8). |
We assessed the design and implementation of controls in this area. We considered if there were any properties which had not been considered for an assessment of the recoverable amount by management. |
| The Group determines whether its properties held for development and sale exhibit any indicators of impairment and if so, compares the recoverable amount of each property to its carrying amount. |
We assessed the valuer's competence and capabilities and read their terms of engagement with the Group to determine that the scope of their work was sufficient. |
| applies significant estimates The 1n Group determining the recoverable amount of properties held for development and sale. Changes in these estimates could have a significant impact on the determination of the recoverable amount - of properties held for development and sale. Key inputs used by management in their valuation exercise include future projected cash flows and comparable property transactions, which are influenced by prevailing market conditions and the specific characteristics of each property in the portfolio. In addition, when considered necessary, the Group also appoints professionally qualified external valuers to determine the fair value of the Group's portfolio of properties held for development and sale. The estimation of property cost and net realisable value is a key process as a change in the Group's forecast estimate of sales price and construction cost could have a material impact on the carrying value of the properties held for development and sale in the Group's consolidated financial statements. In the event that the carrying amount of a property is higher than its recoverable amount, the Group will adjust the property to its recoverable amount and recognise an impairment loss. We considered the properties held for development and sale as a key audit matter because of the quantitative materiality of the balance and the significant judgements applied and estimates made in determining the recoverable amount. |
We sample tested data provided to the valuer by the Group. We involved our internal real estate valuation specialist to review selected properties valued by external valuers and internally by management and assessed whether the valuation of the properties was performed in accordance with the Value IFRS 13 requirements of Fair Measurement. Where we identified estimates that were outside acceptable parameters, we discussed these with the valuers and management to understand the rationale behind the estimates made. We performed sensitivity analyses on the significant assumptions to evaluate the extent of their impact on the determination of fair values. We reperformed the arithmetical accuracy of the determination of recoverable amounts. We assessed the disclosures made to determine if they were in accordance with the requirements of IFRSs. |

Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. We obtained the Director's Report, at the date of our auditor's report, and we expect to obtain the remaining sections of the Annual report after the date of the auditor's report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Independent Auditor's Report to the Shareholders of Deyaar Development PJSC (continued)
Other Information (continued)
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained up to the date of this auditor's report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs, 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 consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group's internal control.
Independent Auditor's Report to the Shareholders of Deyaar Development PJSC (continued)
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting $\ddot{\bullet}$ estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

New and amended IFRS Standards that are effective for the current year $2.1$
In the current year, IFRS 16 Leases is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 (as issued by the IASB in January 2016). The standard replaces the existing guidance on leases, including IAS 17 'Leases'', IFRIC 4 'Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease'', SIC 15 "Operating Leases - Incentives" and SIC 27 "Evaluating the Substance of Transactions in the Legal Form of a Lease".
IFRS 16 introduces new or amended requirements with respect to lease accounting. It introduces significant changes to the lessee accounting by removing the distinction between operating and finance leases and requiring the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. In contrast to lessee accounting, the requirements for lessor accounting have remained largely unchanged. Therefore, IFRS 16 does not have an impact for leases where the Group is the lessor.
Based on management's assessment, the application of IFRS 16 - Leases does not have a material impact on these consolidated financial statements as a lessor or as a lessee and hence, the Group did not make any adjustments in this regard.
2.2 New and amended IFRS applied with no material effect on the consolidated financial statements
The following new and revised IFRSs, which became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, have been adopted in these consolidated financial statements.
| New and revised IFRSs | Effective for annual periods beginning on or after |
|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 9 Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation and 1 January 2019 Modification of financial liabilities |
The amendments to IFRS 9 clarify that for the purpose of assessing whether a prepayment feature meets the SPPI condition, the party exercising the option may pay or receive reasonable compensation for the prepayment irrespective of the reason for prepayment. In other words, prepayment features with negative compensation do not automatically fail SPPI.
The amendment applies to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, with earlier application permitted. There are specific transition provisions depending on when the amendments are first applied, relative to the initial application of IFRS 9.

Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs.
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which describe as follows:
- Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
- Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted market prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
- Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The principal accounting policies are set out below:
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:
- has power over the investee; $\blacksquare$
- is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
- has the ability to use its powers to affect its returns.
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2019 (continued)
$3.$ Significant accounting policies (continued)
Basis of consolidation (continued)
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Investments in a joint venture and an associate
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The results and assets and liabilities of the associates and joint ventures are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment, or a portion thereof, is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate or joint venture. When the Group's share of losses of an associate or a joint venture exceeds the Group's interest in that associate or joint venture (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate or joint venture), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.
An investment in an associate or a joint venture is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investee becomes an associate or a joint venture. On acquisition of the investment in an associate and joint venture, any excess of the cost of the investment over the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in consolidated statement of profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

IFRS 9 Financial instruments
IFRS 9 sets out requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items. This standard replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The following table summarises the impact of transition to IFRS 9 on opening balances:
| Impact of adopting IFRS 9 on opening balance AED'000 |
|
|---|---|
| Accumulated losses | |
| Recognition of expected credit losses under IFRS 9 | (661, 233) |
| Impact at 1 January 2018 | (661, 233) |
Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities a)
IFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS 39 for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. However, it eliminates the previous IAS 39 categories for financial assets of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale.
The adoption of IFRS 9 has not had a significant effect on the Group's accounting policies related to financial liabilities and derivative financial instruments. The impact of IFRS 9 on the classification and measurement of financial assets is set out below.
Under IFRS 9, on initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortised cost; fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"). The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. Derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are never separated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification.
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost less impairment loss and deferred income, if any (except for those assets that are designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition):
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual 1. cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the instrument give rise to cash flows on specified dates that are solely payments 2. of principal and profit on the principal amount outstanding.
All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in other comprehensive income ("OCI"). This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

IFRS 9 Financial instruments (continued)
Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities $\mathbf{a}$
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component that is initially measured at the transaction price) is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition.
The following accounting policies apply to the subsequent measurement of financial assets.
Financial assets at FVTPL
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortised cost
These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses (see (ii) below). Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
Debt investments at FVOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.
Equity investments at FVOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
The effect of adopting IFRS 9 on the carrying amounts of financial assets at 1 January 2018 relates solely to the new impairment requirements, as described further below.

- Trade, contract and other receivables and due from related parties that were classified as loans and $(i)$ receivables under IAS 39 are now classified at amortised cost. An increase of AED 657.2 million in the allowance for impairment over these receivables was recognised in opening accumulated losses at 1 January 2018 on transition to IFRS 9.
- This equity security represent investment that the Group intends to hold for the long term for strategic $(ii)$ purposes. As permitted by IFRS 9, the Group has designated this investment at the date of initial application as measured at FVOCI. Unlike IAS 39, the accumulated fair value reserve related to this investment will never be reclassified to profit or loss.

IFRS 9 Financial instruments (continued)
Impairment $\mathbf{b}$
IFRS 9 replaces the 'incurred loss' model in IAS 39 with a forward-looking 'expected credit loss' (ECL) model. This will require considerable judgement about how changes in economic factors affect ECLs, which will be determined on a probability-weighted basis. The new impairment model will apply to financial assets measured at amortised cost or FVOCI and contract assets, but not to investments in equity instruments. Under IFRS 9, credit losses are recognized earlier than under IAS 39.
The financial assets at amortised cost consist of trade and other receivables, contract assets, due from related parties, cash at banks, and fixed deposits.
Under IFRS 9, loss allowances are measured on either of the following bases:
- 12-month ECLs: these are ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date; and
- lifetime ECLs: these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for the following, which are measured as 12-month ECLs:
bank balances, long term fixed deposits and certain related parties for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
Loss allowances for trade receivables, contract assets and due from a related party are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group's historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.
The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.
The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when:
- the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or
- the financial asset is more than 90 days past due.
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

IFRS 9 Financial instruments (continued)
Impairment (continued) $$
Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
Credit-impaired financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is 'credit-impaired' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Presentation of impairment
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities carried at FVOCI, the loss allowance is recognised in OCI, instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset.
Impact on consolidated financial statements
Apart from changes in classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, the effect of initially applying this standard is mainly attributed to an increase in impairment losses recognised on financial assets. The details of adjustments to the opening accumulated losses and other account balances are detailed helow:

The Group uses an allowance matrix to measure the ECLs of due from a related party and trade, contract and other receivables from individual customers, which comprise a very large number of small balances.
Loss rates are based on historical actual credit loss experience. These rates are multiplied by scalar factors to reflect differences between economic conditions during the period over which the historical data has been collected, current conditions and the Group's view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables. Scalar factors are based on actual and forecast Brent oil price. In the current year, financial assets that were credit impaired resulted in an increase in impairment loss (Note 10 and note 11).

Derecognition $\mathbf{c}$
Financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised in its statement of financial position, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL. The Group's financial liabilities includes bank borrowings, trade and other payables, retention payable.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging relationship. The net gain or loss recognised in the consolidated statement profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability.
However, for financial liabilities that are designated as at FVTPL, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is recognised in statement of other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability's credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch statement of in profit or loss. The remaining amount of change in the fair value of liability is recognised in statement of profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability's credit risk that are recognized in statement of other comprehensive income are not subsequently reclassified to statement of profit or loss; instead, they are transferred to retained earnings upon derecognition of the financial liability.
Gains or losses on financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group that are designated by the Group as at FVTPL are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not designated as FVTPL, are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.

Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group's obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported 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.
Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency $(a)$
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary 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 monetary 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".
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 currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
- Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing $(i)$ 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 in foreign operations, and of borrowings are taken to equity.

Foreign currency translation (continued)
Group entities (continued)
On the disposal of a foreign operation, all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners 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 subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to noncontrolling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. 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.
All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss during the financial year in which they are incurred
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 | $20 - 35$ |
| Leasehold improvements | |
| Furniture, fixtures and equipment | $4 - 15$ |
| Motor vehicles |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset's carrying 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 carrying 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 property 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.

Investment properties
Recognition
Land and buildings owned by the Group for the purposes of generating rental income or capital appreciation or both are classified as investment properties. Properties that are being constructed or developed for future use as investment properties are also classified as investment properties.
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 property during the redevelopment.
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 Property". Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in consolidated profit or loss.
Where the fair value of an investment property under development is not reliably determinable, such property is measured at cost until the earlier of the date construction is completed and the date at which fair value becomes reliably measurable.
Transfer from properties held for sale to investment properties
Certain properties held for sale are transferred to investment properties when there is a change in use of the properties and those properties are either released for rental or for capital appreciation or both. The properties held for sale are transferred to investment properties at fair value on the date of transfer and gain arising on transfer is recognised in consolidated profit or loss. Subsequent to initial measurement, such properties are valued at fair value in accordance with the measurement policy for investment properties. Any gain arising on this remeasurement is recognised in consolidated statement of profit or loss on the specific property.
Transfer from investment properties to properties held for sale
Properties are transferred from investment properties to properties held for development and sale when there is a change in use of the property. Such transfers are made at the fair value of the properties at the date of transfer and gain arising on transfer is recognised in consolidated profit or loss. Fair value at the date of reclassification becomes the cost of properties transferred for subsequent accounting purposes. Subsequent to the transfer, such properties are valued at cost in accordance with the measurement policy for properties held for development and sale.
Transfer from investment properties to owner-occupied property
If an investment property becomes owner-occupied property, it is reclassified as property and equipment. Its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting purposes.
Transfer from owner-occupied property to investment properties
When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied to investment property, the property is remeasured to fair value and reclassified accordingly. Any gain arising on this remeasurement is recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a previous impairment loss on the specific property, with any remaining gain recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the revaluation reserve. Any loss is recognised in consolidated profit or loss.

Investment properties (continued)
Sale of investment properties
Certain investment properties are sold in the ordinary course of business. No revenue and direct/operating costs are recognised for sale of investment properties. Any gain or loss on disposal of sale of investment properties (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and carrying amount) is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying 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.
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 pretax 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 recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses, if any, are recognised in consolidated profit or loss.
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 / operating costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less cost of completion and selling expenses.
The amount of any write down of properties under development for sale is recognised as an expense in the period the write down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write down arising from an increase in net realisable value is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the increase occurs but only to the extent that the carrying value does not exceed the actual cost.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand and at bank and deposits held at call with banks 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.

Employee benefits
End of service benefits to non-UAE nationals $(a)$
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.
Pension and social security policy within the U.A.E $(b)$
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. 7 of 1999 relating to Pension and Social Security Law.
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.
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. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and 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 required 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.

Revenue recognition
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.
The Group recognises revenue based on a five step model as set out in IFRS 15:
- Identify the contract(s) with a customer: A contract is defined as an agreement between two or Step 1 more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for every contract that must be met.
- Identify the performance obligations in the contract: A performance obligation is a promise in Step 2 a contract with a customer to transfer a good or service to the customer.
- Determine the transaction price: The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which Step 3 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.
- Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: For a contract Step 4 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.
- Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Step 5
The Group satisfies a performance obligation and recognises revenue over time, if one of the following criteria is met:
- The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group's 1. performance as the Group performs; or
- The Group's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created $2.$ or enhanced; or
- The Group's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group $3.$ has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
For performance obligations where one of the above conditions are not met, revenue is recognised at the point in time at which performance obligation is satisfied.
The Group allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations in a contract based on the input method which requires revenue recognition on the basis of the Group's efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of the performance obligations. The Group estimates the total costs to complete the projects in order to determine the amount of revenue to be recognised.
When the Group satisfies a performance obligation by delivering the promised goods and services, it creates a contract asset based on the amount of consideration earned by the performance. Where the amount of consideration received from a customer exceeds the amount of revenue recognised, this gives rise to a contract liability.

Significant accounting policies (continued) $3.$
Revenue recognition (continued)
Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, taking into account the contractually agreed terms of payment excluding taxes and duties. The Group assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria to determine if it is acting as principal or an agent and has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements.
Revenue is recognised in the consolidated financial statements to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue and costs, if and when applicable, can be measured reliably.
Forfeiture income
Forfeiture income is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss when, in the case of properties sold and not yet recognised as revenue, a customer does not fulfil 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.
Service revenue
Revenue from services such as property management, facilities management and hospitality related activities is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.
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.
Hospitality income
Rooms
Room revenue is recognised at a point in time (net of discounts and municipality fees where applicable) as and when the rooms are occupied and services are rendered to the guests.
Food and beverage
Food and beverage revenue (net of discounts and municipality fees where applicable) is recognised when orders are sold or served.
Other operating revenue
Revenue from other operating departments which are service revenue such as telephone, transportation, laundry, etc. is recognised upon rendering of service or as contracted.

Finance income
Finance income is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss on a time-proportion basis using the effective yield method.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive the dividend is established.
Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group's consolidated financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders.
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 profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Directors' remuneration
Pursuant to Article 169 of the Federal Law No. (2) of 2015 and in accordance with article of association of the Company, the Directors shall be entitled for remuneration, which shall not exceed 10% of the profit after deducting depreciation and the reserves.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements 4.
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 carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2019 (continued)
Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued) 4.
Valuation of investment properties $(a)$
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 or the internal valuation performed by the Group's finance department.
The fair values have been determined by taking into consideration market comparable and / or the discounted cash flows where the Group has on-going lease arrangements. 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 properties in the same location, have been taken into account.
In case where the Group does not have any on-going lease arrangements, fair values have been determined, where relevant, having regard to recent market transactions for similar properties in the same location as the Group's investment properties. These values are adjusted for differences in key attributes such as property size.
The key assumptions on which management has based its cash flow projections when determining the fair value of the assets are as follows:
- Discount rate 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 based on long-term rate of growth. ۰
Management of the Group has reviewed the assumption and methodology used by the independent registered valuer and Group's finance department 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 and an associate ("equity accounted investees")
Recoverability of investment in equity accounted investees is an area involving significant management judgement, and requires an assessment as to whether the carrying value of the investment in equity accounted investees can be supported by the carrying value of the assets held by equity accounted investees.
For property portfolio held by equity accounted investees, management performs an internal valuation to determine the fair value using a valuation technique based on a discounted cash flow model and, when deemed necessary, also engages professionally qualified external valuers to determine the fair value of property portfolio of equity accounted investees.
In calculating the net present value of the future cash flows of properties portfolio of equity accounted investees, 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:
- Discount rate based on the equity accounted investee's weighted average cost of capital with a risk $\bullet$ premium reflecting the relative risks in the markets in which the businesses operate.
- Growth rate based on long-term rate of growth.
Management assesses the impairment for property portfolio held by equity accounted investees whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying 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.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued) 4.
(c) IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers
The application of revenue recognition policy in accordance with IFRS 15 requires management to make the following judgements:
Satisfaction of performance 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 noncash 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 performance 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.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued) 4.
(d) Valuation of properties held for development and sale
The Group reviews the properties held for development and sale to assess write down, if there is an indication of write down. The Group uses valuations carried out by an independent external valuer and market sales data to ascertain the recoverable amount.
(e) Useful lives of property and equipment
The costs of items of property and equipment are depreciated on a systematic basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Management has determined the estimated useful lives of each asset and/ or category of assets based on the following factors:
- Expected usage of the assets, $\bullet$
- Expected physical wear and tear, which depends on operational and environmental factors; and
- $\bullet$ Legal or similar limits on the use of the assets.
Management has not made estimates of residual values for any items of property and equipment at the end of their useful lives.
(f) Impairment of all financial assets
The Group reviews all its financial assets to assess adequacy of the impairment provisions at least on a quarterly basis. In determining whether the impairment provisions should be recognised in the statement of consolidated profit or loss, the Group uses an allowance matrix to measure the ECLs of due from a related party and trade, contract and other receivables from individual customers, which comprise a very large number of small balances. Loss rates are based on historical actual credit loss experience. These rates are multiplied by scalar factors to reflect differences between economic conditions during the period over which the historical data has been collected, current conditions and the Group's view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables. Scalar factors are based on actual and forecast Brent oil price.

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:
- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1); $\bullet$
- Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, $\bullet$ 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 costs recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss includes AED 8.9 million (2018: AED 3.2 million) and rental income recognised in consolidated statement of profit or loss includes AED 28.6 million (2018: AED 34.4 million) from investment property (Note 21 and Note 22).
Investment properties with carrying value of AED 244.2 million (2018: AED 248.7 million) are mortgaged against bank borrowings (Note 16).

Valuation processes
Retail units, parking spaces and store 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 properties, their current use equates to the highest and best use. Valuation of UAE office building is valued by the Groups' finance department. The Group's finance department includes a team that also reviews the valuations performed by the independent valuers for financial reporting purposes. Discussion of valuation processes and results are held between management and the independent valuers on a regular basis.
At each financial year end, the finance department:
- verifies all major inputs to the independent valuation report;
- assesses property valuation movements when compared to the prior year valuation report; and $\bullet$
- holds discussions with the independent valuers. $\bullet$
There has been no change to the valuation technique during the year.

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 determined 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, parking spaces and store units, the valuation was determined using the indicative fair values of these investment properties as at 31 December 2019 provided by an independent professionally qualified valuer. The valuer has used sales comparison method to determine the fair values of these assets.

26. Provision for claims
This includes legal claim made by customers against the Group for refund of partial payments made to purchase certain property units. In accordance with Law No. 13 of 2008 and its subsequent amendment through Law No. 9 of 2009 applicable in the Emirate of Dubai, the Group had earlier forfeited these amounts due to failure of customers to pay the outstanding balances as per the Sale and Purchase Agreement.
The Group 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, this information may be prejudicial to their position on these matters.

30. Commitments
At 31 December 2019, the Group had total commitments of AED 109.4 million (2018: AED 412 million) with respect to project related contracts issued net of invoices received and accruals made at that date. The Group also has other commitments of AED Nil (2018: AED 170.4 million) (Note 31).
Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2019 (continued)
31. Contingencies
At 31 December 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 7.7 million (2018: AED 135.6). 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 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 30.
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 cash outflows for the Group.
Further, on 25 December 2019 the Court of Cassation had issued a judgment in favour of the Group against a UAE-based property developer ("counterparty"), upholding a ruling made by the Court of Appeal in September, which had confirmed Dubai Court of First Instance's judgement to terminate all sale and purchase agreements of lands under dispute and had also ordered counterparty to return all amounts paid, to the tune of AED 411 million plus pay a compensation amount of AED 61 million due to the breach of its obligations. Following the issued judgement, the execution has been filed, which is currently under process as at the reporting date.
32. Segmental information

33. Financial risk management
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.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2019 (continued)
33. Financial risk management (continued)
Market risk (continued)
Price risk
The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk through investments held by the Group and classified as equity instrument at fair value.
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 at fixed rates. The Group's exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to its borrowings with floating interest rates.
At 31 December 2019, if profit rates on borrowings had been 1% higher/lower with all other variables held constant, profit for the year would have been AED 5.4 million lower/higher (2018: profit for the year would have been AED 4.1 million lower/higher), mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.
Derivative financial instrument
In the previous year, the Group entered into profit rate swap agreement in order to hedge its exposure against profit rate risk. The table below shows the fair values of derivative financial instrument, which is equivalent to the market value, together with the notional amount. The notional amount is the amount of a derivative's underlying asset, reference rate or index and is the basis upon which changes in the value of derivative is measured. The notional amount indicates the volume of transactions outstanding at the reporting date and are neither indicative of the market nor credit risk.
| 2019 | 2019 | 2018 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AED'000 | AED'000 | AED'000 | AED'000 | |
| Notional | Notional | |||
| Fair value | amount | Fair value | amount | |
| Profit rate swap | (17) | 237,500 | (190) | 169,661 |
| $\boldsymbol{(17)}$ | 237,500 | (190) | 169,661 |
The fair value as at reporting date is categorised as level 3 in fair value hierarchy.
Credit risk
The Group is exposed to credit risk in relation to its monetary assets, mainly trade, contract and other receivables (excluding advances and prepayments), due from related parties, cash at bank 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 reporting date was:

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.
Liquidity risk tables

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 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.
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. ٠.
- 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 ä. inputs).
The following table presents the Group's financial assets that are measured at fair value:
| Level 1 AED'000 |
Level 2 AED'000 |
Level 3 AED'000 |
Total AED'000 |

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade, contract and other receivables and due from related parties approximates their fair values keeping in view the period over which these are expected to be realised. Financial liabilities approximate their fair values.

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