August 17th, 2016 REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Board of Directors Deyaar Development PJSC Dubai United Arab Emirates

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Deyaar Development PJSC (the "Company") and its Subsidiaries (together the "Group") as at 31 March 2020 and the related condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three month period then ended. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34: "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34) as issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410: "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

Other matter

The interim financial information for the period ended 31 March 2019 were reviewed by another auditor who expressed an unmodified conclusion on those information on 1 May 2019.

2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

The interim financial information for the three month period ended 31 March 2020 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and the requirements of UAE Federal Law No. (2) of 2015.

(a) New and revised IFRS Standards that are effective for the current year

The following new and revised IFRSs, which became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020, have been adopted in the interim financial information.

In the current year, the Group has applied a number of amendments to IFRS Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are effective for an annual period that begins on or after 1 January 2020.

The changes
(a)
modify specific hedge accounting requirements so that
entities
would
apply
those
hedge
accounting
requirements assuming that the interest rate benchmark
on which the hedged cash flows and cash flows from the
hedging instrument are based will not be altered as a
result of interest rate benchmark reform;
(b)
are mandatory for all hedging relationships that are
directly affected by the interest rate benchmark reform;
(c)
are not intended to provide relief from any other
consequences arising from interest rate benchmark
reform (if a hedging relationship no longer meets the
requirements for hedge accounting for reasons other than
those specified by the amendments, discontinuation of
hedge accounting is required); and
(d)
require specific disclosures about the extent to which the
entities' hedging relationships are affected by the
amendments.
Amendment to IFRS 3 Business
Combinations
relating to definition
of a business
The amendments in Definition of a Business (Amendments
to IFRS 3) are changes to Appendix A Defined terms, the
application guidance, and the illustrative examples of IFRS
3 only. They:
(a)
clarify that to be considered a business, an acquired set
of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an
input
and
a
substantive
process
that
together
significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs;
(b)
narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs by
focusing on goods and services provided to customers
and by removing the reference to an ability to reduce
costs;
(c)
add guidance and illustrative examples to help entities
assess whether a substantive process has been acquired;
(d)
remove the assessment of whether
market participants
are capable of replacing any missing inputs or processes
and continuing to produce outputs; and
(e)
add an optional concentration test that permits a
simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of
activities and assets is not a business.

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial

Accounting Policies,
Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
relating to definition of material
Three new aspects of the new definition should
especially be noted:
(a)
Obscuring.
The
existing
definition
only
focused on omitting or misstating information,
however, the Board concluded that obscuring
material information with information that can
be omitted can have a similar effect. Although
the term obscuring is new in the definition, it
was already part of IAS 1 (IAS 1.30A).
(b)
Could reasonably be expected to influence. The
existing definition referred to 'could influence'
which the Board felt might be understood as
requiring too much information as almost
anything 'could' influence the decisions of
some users even if the possibility is remote.
(c)
Primary users. The existing definition referred
only to 'users' which again the Board feared
might be understood too broadly as requiring to
consider
all
possible
users
of
financial
statements when deciding what information to
disclose.

The Group anticipates that these new standards, interpretations and amendments will be adopted in the Group's interim financial information as and when they are applicable and adoption of these new standards, interpretations and amendments may have no material impact on the interim financial information.

3. Estimates and assumptions

associate or joint venture

The preparation of the interim financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing the interim financial information, the significant judgements made by the management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.

4. Financial risk management

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

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

The interim financial information does not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statement, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2019. The Group's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2020 (continued)

5. Segment information

Operating segment

The Board of Directors is 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 (includes sale of properties and leasing activities), properties and facilities management and hospitality related activities.

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.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2020 (continued)

6. Property and equipment

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

During the period, the Group has reclassified certain units in its existing service apartment buildings amounting to AED 350.50 million to investment properties based on change in use of those units (Note 7). The Group has a policy of depreciating assets on a straight-line method, at rates calculated to reduce the cost of assets to their estimated residual value. When parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property and equipment. The Group depreciates buildings from 20 to 35 years and furniture and fixtures from 4 to 8 years. Furthermore, the depreciation expense of the Group in the current period amounted to AED 6.8 million.

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

During the current period, the Group has reclassified service apartments from property & equipment to investment properties as a result of change in use of these units. These units were reclassified to investment properties at their fair value and management believes that carrying amount of the units transferred is equivalent to the fair value on the date of transfer (Note 6).

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2020 (continued)

7. Investment properties (continued)

Investment properties with carrying value of AED 244.2 million (31 December 2019: AED 244.2 million) are mortgaged against bank borrowings (Note 12).

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. Management believes that the carrying value of the Group's investment property is not materially different than its market value.

In previous years, the Company had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for purchase of its share in a portfolio of investment properties in a real estate project. The advance was recoverable by means of transfer of the Company's share of properties in the project. In 2018, the Company had signed an agreement where the parties including the Company will jointly allocate the project's assets in proportion to the share of each party in the project. The allocation of the Company's share of properties was completed in 2019 and accordingly these units were reclassified to investment properties at their fair value on the date of transfer (Note 6).

15. Commitments

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2020 (continued)

16. Contingencies

At 31 March 2020, 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 8.8 million (31 December 2019: AED 7.7 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 (2019: AED 3.4 million). The Group anticipates that no material liabilities will arise from these performance and other guarantees.

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

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.

17. Financial instruments by category (continued)

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

Level 1
AED'000
Total
AED'000
As at 31 March 2020

As at 31 December 2019
(audited)
Equity instrument at fair value through
other comprehensive income 10,865 10,865

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.

18. Earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. There were no instruments or any other items which could cause a dilutive effect on the earnings per share calculation:

19. Impact of COVID-19

The outbreak of novel coronavirus (Covid-19) continues to progress and evolve. Therefore it is challenging now, to predict the full extent and duration of its existence on the business and economic impact. As the Group is essentially engaged in property development and facilities management, short term impact may be experienced but there is no change in Management's going concern assessment or business strategy.

Group will continue to monitor the situation closely and utilize committed facilities or seek additional facilities, or take additional measures as a fall back plan in case the period of disruption becomes prolonged.
