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 June 2021 and the related condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, profit or loss and other comprehensive income, for the three-month and six-month period ended 30 June 2021, and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-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). 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 IFRSs

Amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts 1 January 2023

Amends IFRS 17 to address concerns and implementation challenges that were identified after IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts was published in 2017. The main changes are:

• Deferral of the date of initial application of IFRS 17 by two years to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.
• Additional scope exclusion for credit card contracts and similar contracts that provide insurance coverage as well as optional scope exclusion for loan contracts that transfer significant insurance risk.
• Recognition of insurance acquisition cash flows relating to expected contract renewals, including transition provisions and guidance for insurance acquisition cash flows recognised in a business acquired in a business combination.
• Clarification of the application of IFRS 17 in interim financial statements allowing an accounting policy choice at a reporting entity level.
• Clarification of the application of contractual service margin (CSM) attributable to investment-return service and investmentrelated service and changes to the corresponding disclosure requirements.
• Extension of the risk mitigation option to include reinsurance contracts held and non-financial derivatives.
• Amendments to require an entity that at initial recognition recognises losses on onerous insurance contracts issued to also recognise a gain on reinsurance contracts held.
• Simplified presentation of insurance contracts in the statement of financial position so that entities would present insurance contract assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position determined using portfolios of insurance contracts rather than groups of insurance contracts.
• Additional transition relief for business combinations and additional transition relief for the date of application of the risk mitigation option and the use of the fair value transition approach.

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

New and revised IFRSs	Effective for annual periods beginning on or after
Amendments to IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non current	1 January 2023
The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current.
Amendments to IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts Extension of the Temporary Exemption from Applying IFRS 9	1 January 2023
The amendment changes the fixed expiry date for the temporary exemption in IFRS 4 from applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, so that entities would be required to apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.
Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes relating to Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction	1 January 2023
The amendments clarify that the initial recognition exemption does not apply to transactions in which equal amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences arise on initial recognition.
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2	1 January 2023
The amendments require that an entity discloses its material accounting policies, instead of its significant accounting policies. Further amendments explain how an entity can identify a material accounting policy. Examples of when an accounting policy is likely to be material are added. To support the amendment, the Board has also developed guidance and examples to explain and demonstrate the application of the 'four-step materiality process' described in IFRS Practice Statement 2.
Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors	1 January 2023
The amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The amendments clarify that a change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error.

New and revised IFRSs Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations relating to Reference to the Conceptual Framework	beginning on or after 1 January 2022
The amendments update an outdated reference to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS 3 without significantly changing the requirements in the standard.
Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds before Intended Use	1 January 2022
The amendments prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognises the proceeds from selling such items, and the cost of producing those items, in profit or loss.
Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets relating to Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract	1 January 2022
The amendments specify that the 'cost of fulfilling' a contract comprises the 'costs that relate directly to the contract'. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (examples would be direct labour, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (an example would be the allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract).
Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020 Cycle	1 January 2022
Makes amendments to the following standards: • IFRS 1 First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards – The amendment permits a subsidiary that applies paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1 to measure cumulative translation differences using the amounts reported by its parent, based on the parent's date of transition to IFRSs. • IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – The amendment clarifies which fees an entity includes when it applies the '10 per cent' test in paragraph B3.3.6 of IFRS 9 in assessing whether to derecognise a financial liability. An entity includes only fees paid or received between the entity (the borrower) and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the entity or the lender on the other's behalf.

Makes amendments to the following standards: (continued)
• IFRS 16 Leases – The amendment to Illustrative Example 13 accompanying IFRS 16 removes from the example the illustration of the reimbursement of leasehold improvements by the lessor in order to resolve any potential confusion regarding the treatment of lease incentives that might arise because of how lease incentives are illustrated in that example.
• IAS 41 Agriculture – The amendment removes the requirement in paragraph 22 of IAS 41 for entities to exclude taxation cash flows when measuring the fair value of a biological asset using a present value technique.
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 an 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 2020.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 (continued)

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 2020. 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 2020.

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.

Geographic information

The carrying amount of total assets located outside the United Arab Emirates as at 30 June 2021 is AED 3 million (31 December 2020: AED 3 million).

6. Property and equipment

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

The Group has portfolio of hospitality assets included in property and equipment against which an impairment loss had been recognised in the year ended 31 December 2020 amounting to AED 75.3 million. The recoverable amount of two hotel assets has been determined using the indicative fair values of the property as at 31 December 2020 provided by an independent professionally qualified valuer. The valuer has used sales comparison method to determine the fair values of these two hotels.

Further, for one hotel, management has concluded the recoverable value is equivalent to its value in use. In determining the value in use, management has estimated expected future cash flows and determined a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The estimate of value in use was determined using a discount rate of 9.75% and a terminal value growth rate of 3%. Management believes there was no material variance in the recoverable value of Group's property and equipment at the end of current period.

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. The Group depreciates buildings from 20 to 50 years and furniture and fixtures from 4 to 8 years.

For retail units, parking spaces, two service apartment building and store units, the valuation was determined using the indicative fair values of these investment properties as at 31 December 2020 provided by an independent professionally qualified valuer. The valuer has used sales comparison method to determine the fair values of these assets. For one service apartments building, the valuation was determined using the income capitalisation method. Management believes that there was no material variance in the value of the Group's investment properties at the end of current period.

The above trade and other receivables are net of provision for impairment amounting to AED 117.7 million (31 December 2020: AED 117.8 million) relating to trade and other receivables which are past due. All the other receivables are considered recoverable.

9. Properties held for development and sale

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

Net realisable value has been determined on the basis of committed sale price if the remaining receivable amount is lower than the current market value of the units booked by customers. For units not yet booked by customers, net realisable value takes into consideration the expected market prices.

As at 31 December 2020, Management's assessment of the net realisable value of the properties held for development and sale resulted in an impairment amounting to AED 31.2 million. Management believes that there was no material variance in the value of the Group's properties held for development and sale at the end of current period.

Plots of land including under development projects with total carrying value of AED 849.6 million (2020: AED 869.8 million) and completed properties with total carrying value of AED 134.8 million (31 December 2020: AED 142.1 million) are mortgaged under Islamic finance obligations (Note 12).

In the current period, the Group has recognised an amount of AED 151.4 million (for the year ended 31 December 2020: AED 173.3 million and for the six month period ended 30 June 2020: AED 50.6 million) included in the profit or loss under "direct costs" against revenue recognised of AED 203.4 million (for the year ended 31 December 2020: AED 227 million and for the six month period ended 30 June 2020: AED 80.6 million).

For plots of land held for future development and use amounting to AED 697.9 million as at the reporting date (31 December 2020: AED 695.4 million), management is currently evaluating feasibility of the projects and considering alternative viable profitable options as well as various offers from potential buyers.

In 2010, the Group entered into a sale and purchase agreement with a related party (the "purchaser") to sell properties for a sale consideration agreed on by both parties as per the initial agreement of AED 3,648 million.

In the prior year, Group had entered into amendments agreement with the related party pertaining to certain properties. These properties were under dispute with UAE based developer ("a related party") against which in the prior year, the Group had received a favorable court judgment to the extent of AED 412 million plus compensation and cumulative legal interest for which the execution is currently under process as at the reporting date. Accordingly, a balance of AED 412 million is presented as due from a related party.

Following these amendments and various previous amendments to the original agreement and partial settlement of the balance, the outstanding amount from the related party as at 30 June 2021 is AED 516.6 million (31 December 2020: AED 516.6 million) against which a provision for impairment amounting to AED 362.9 million exists. The outstanding balance based on the last amendment effective from 31 December 2020, is to be settled by the purchaser no later than 31 December 2021.

Impairment provision

To determine the provision for impairment, management applied certain key assumptions and judgments in accordance with IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments in order to determine the expected credit loss which includes the use of various forward-looking information that could impact the timing and/or amount of recoveries.

Islamic finance obligations carry market prevailing profit rates and are repayable in monthly or quarterly instalments over a period of one to ten years from the reporting date (31 December 2020: one to ten years).

Islamic finance obligations are secured by mortgages over properties classified under property held for development and sale (Note 9), property and equipment (Note 6) and investment properties (Note 7). Further, certain facilities with banks are subject to financial covenants.

15. Commitments

At 30 June 2021, the Group had total commitments of AED 307.8 million (31 December 2020: AED 359.1 million) with respect to project related contracts issued net of invoices received and accruals made at that date.

16. Contingencies

At 30 June 2021, 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 89.4 million (31 December 2020: AED 87.3 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 (2020: 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 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 subjudice and are disputed, therefore this information may be prejudicial to their position on these matters.

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, certain properties were under dispute with UAE based developer ("a related party") against which in the prior year, the Group has received a favourable judgment by the Court of Cassation which upheld a ruling made by the Court of Appeal confirming 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 412 million plus pay a compensation of AED 61 million as well as 9% legal interest accruing from the date of filing the case.

In the prior year, the execution of the court judgement has been handed over to a special committee by virtue of resolution number 12 of 2020 passed by the Government of Dubai. However, on 15 February 2021, the special committee has decided that it has no jurisdiction over the case and has transfer the case to the court of execution. Accordingly, management has submitted an application to the court of execution to proceed with the execution process.

As at the reporting date, the Group management and the related party are under discussion to reach an amicable settlement. Accordingly, the Group has applied to the court of execution to suspend execution process until a settlement is reached.

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. Long term fixed deposits

In previous years, the Group had placed Wakala deposit amounting to AED 101 million with a financial institution for a period of 12 years with quarterly repayments. As at 31 December 2020, Group had received cumulatively an amount of AED 41.1 million towards the repayment of deposit and management has recognised an impairment charge of AED 12.1 million and present value impact of AED 3.9 million on the fixed deposit. In the current period, Group participated in an auction to exit with the financial institution, thereby have received an amount of AED 27 million from the financial institution as a final settlement against the fixed deposits. Based on the final settlement, the Group has recognised a loss on derecognition of the entire fixed deposit amounting to AED 20 million in the condensed consolidated statement of profit of loss. Accordingly, present value of AED 3.9 million and provision for impairment of AED 4.2 million has been reversed in finance income and general, administrative and selling expenses respectively.

20. Impact of COVID-19

The outbreak of novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic in early 2020 has either directly or indirectly impacted all businesses. Measures to prevent transmission of the virus has an immediate impact on businesses, which then affects supply chains and the production of goods throughout the world and lower economic activity is likely to result in reduced demand for many goods and services. Implications of reduced economic activity on financial reporting should be considered by all companies. As the Group is essentially engaged in property development, hospitality and facilities management, short term impact has been experienced however, management continues to have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue as a going concern in foreseeable future.

The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains unclear at this point in time. It is not possible to reliably estimate the duration and severity of these consequences, as well as their impact on the financial position and results of the Company for future periods. Given the unpredictable outcome of this pandemic, the Group will continue to monitor and assess 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, properties held for development and sale and investment properties, as necessary, during the course of 2021.

21. Reclassification

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to improve the quality of the information previously presented. The reclassification does not have any effect on these condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, profit or loss and other comprehensive income, equity and cash flows.
