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 30 September 2020 and the related condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, profit or loss and other comprehensive income, for the three-month and nine-month period ended 30 September 2020, and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-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 interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

New and revised IFRS	Summary
Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial	The changes
Instruments, IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments Disclosures relating to interest rate benchmark reform	(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 References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards - amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based payment, IFRS 3 Business Combinations, IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts, IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, IAS 38 Intangible Assets, IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements, IFRIC 19 Extinguishing of Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments, IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine, IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration, and SIC-32 Intangible Assets - Web Site Costs to update those pronouncements with regard to references to and quotes from the framework or to indicate where they refer to a different version of the Conceptual Framework	The Group has adopted the amendments to IFRS 2, IFRS 6, IFRS 15, IAS 1, IAS 8, IAS 34, IAS 37, IAS 38, IFRIC 12, IFRIC 19, IFRIC 20, IFRIC 22, and SIC 21 in the current year.
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 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.

• 2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued)
• 2.2 Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) (continued)

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

Other than the above, there are no further significant IFRSs and amendments that were effective for the first time for the financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2020.

(b) New and revised IFRS in issue but not yet effective and not early adopted

New and revised IFRSs	Effective for annual periods beginning on or after
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements relating to classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current	1 January 2022

Amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011) relating to the treatment of the sale or contribution of assets from and investor to its associate or joint venture	Effective date deferred indefinitely. Adoption is still permitted.

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

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, except for any changes arising from Impact of COVID-19 (Note 19).

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.

During the period, the Group has reclassified certain units in its existing service apartment buildings amounting to AED 350.5 million from property and equipment based on change in use of those 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).

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 there was no material variance in the value of the Group's investment properties at the end of current period.

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.

15. Commitments

At 30 September 2020, the Group had total commitments of AED 392.2 million (31 December 2019: AED 109.4 million) with respect to project related contracts issued net of invoices received and accruals made at that date.

16. Contingencies

At 30 September 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 87 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 anticipatesthat 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.

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.

19 Impact of COVID-19

The outbreak of novel coronavirus (Covid-19) in early 2020 is causing disruptions in normal lives and businesses in many ways. Global economy and several industries have also been impacted significantly, both from business and accounting and reporting perspective. As the Group is essentially engaged in property development, hospitality and facilities management, short term impact may be experienced but there is no change in Management's going concern assessment or business strategy.

As the situation is rapidly evolving, the Group will continue to monitor the situation and keep adjusting its critical judgements and estimates including the inputs used for expected credit loss, macroeconomic factors, valuation of property and equipment, and investment properties, as necessary, during the course of 2020.
