Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Shareholders of the company “DIMAND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT S.A.”
Report on the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the separate and consolidated financial statements of the company “DIMAND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT S.A.” (the Company), which comprise the separate and consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2023, and the separate and consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company DIMAND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT S.A. and its subsidiaries (the Group) as of December 31, 2023, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation. Our responsibilities under those standards are described in the “Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements” section of our report.
During our audit, we remained independent of the Company and the Group, in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) as transposed in Greek legislation and the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements in Greece. We have fulfilled our responsibilities in accordance with the provisions of the currently enacted law and the requirements of the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the separate and the consolidated financial statements of the audited year. These matters and the related risks of material misstatement were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate and the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Valuation of investment properties of the Group at their fair value
Investment properties and their development constitute the main activity of the Company and the Group. As at 31.12.2023, the investment properties portfolio of the Group included properties at different stages of completion, in areas all over Greece, including offices, residential buildings, as well as hotel complexes, luxurious residencies, logistics facilities and mixed-use areas.
As noted in detail in the paragraph 4.4 of the separate and consolidated financial statements, the Company and the Group measure the fair value of their investment properties according to the principles of the International Accounting Standard 40.
According to the note 8 of the separate and consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2023, the fair value of investment properties amounted to € 117,1 mil. for the Group (31 December 2022: € 97 mil.), while net fair value gains on investment properties amounted to € 19,34 mil (31 December 2022: € 8,2 mil.) for the Group and have been recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
Management of the Company and the Group uses significant assumptions and estimates for the valuation of investment properties at their fair value. Based upon these assumptions and estimates, the management of the Company and the Group engaged independent, certified valuators who calculated the fair value of investment properties as of 31 December 2023.
The main assumptions and estimates used include the following:
* assumptions regarding rental income from future leases
* estimates of rental property vacancies
* estimates of the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis
* estimates used for the comparative sales method, the direct capitalization method and the residual method
* estimates of rate of return at maturity
We assessed the fair value measurement of the investment properties to be a key audit matter, considering mainly the significance of the Investment properties item in the separate and consolidated.
Our audit approach was based on the assessed audit risk, and includes among others the following procedures:
* We obtained an understanding of the procedures and we assessed the design and implementation of the internal controls applied by the Company and the Group on the valuation of investment properties at their fair value.# Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
• We assessed the professional competence, independence, objectivity and experience of the certified independent valuators used by the Management. We verified the accuracy and relevance of the data provided by management to the certified independent valuators that were used when determining the fair value of investment properties of the Company and the Group as of 31 December 2023. The data included contracts, agreements, tax documents and other information which were necessary to determine the fair value of investment properties.
• We obtained the valuation reports of investment properties at their fair value, which were prepared by the certified independent valuators and reconciled the fair value of investment properties in the accounting books of the Company and the Group, as presented in the aforementioned reports. With the involvement of real estate valuation experts of our firm, we have assessed whether the valuation techniques and methods used by the Management and the certified independent valuators are consistent with generally accepted real estate valuation techniques in the market, and whether the assumptions used are reasonable, taking into consideration the particular characteristics of each property.
3 financial statements, the subjectivity of the key assumptions and estimates used by the management, the sensitivity of these assumptions and estimations to any changes and the increased audit procedures that were required. The disclosures regarding the fair value measurement of the investment properties are included in notes 4.4 and 8 to the separate and consolidated financial statements.
• We confirmed the accuracy of specific calculations performed by the certified independent valuators in the context of the fair value calculation of investment properties.
• We examined, on a sample basis, the development costs of the investment properties under construction.
• We assessed the adequacy and the appropriateness of the disclosures in Notes 4.4 and 8 of the separate and consolidated financial statements.
4 Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information is included in the Board of Directors’ Report, reference to which is made in the “Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements” section, in the Declaration of the Board of Directors members and in any other information which is either required by Law or the Company optionally incorporated, in the Annual Report required by Law 3556/2007, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the procedures performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate this matter. We have nothing to report in this respect.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the separate and consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate and consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as endorsed by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s and the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern principle of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Audit Committee (art. 44 of Law 4449/2017) of the Company is responsible for overseeing the Company’s and the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and 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, as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation, 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 separate and consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
5
We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and 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 Company’s and the Group’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 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 Company’s and 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 separate and 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 Company and the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate and 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 separate and consolidated financial statements.
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the Company and the Group. 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 audited year end and are therefore the key audit matters.

DESCRIPTION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE KEY UNCERTAINTIES AND RISKS
The Management, after examining the current financial information of the Group and the Company as well as future liabilities, agreements, and prospects, taking into account the impact of the macroeconomic environment, the Management believes that the prospects of the Group and the Company are positive and that the Group and the Company have the ability to continue their activity without interruption according to their business plan. As a result, the Consolidated and Separate Annual Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern principle.
A. Financial risk factors
The Group and the Company are exposed to financial risks such as market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Financial risks are managed by the Management of the Group and the Company. The Group and Company Management identifies, evaluates and takes measures to hedge against financial risks.
a) Market risk
i) Price risk
The Group and the Company are indirectly exposed to price risk related to financial instruments to the extent that the value of subsidiaries and/or joint ventures fluctuates due to changes in the value of the underlying assets (real estate). The operation of the real estate market involves risks associated with factors such as the geographical location and commerciality of the property, the general business activity in the area and the type of use in relation to future developments and trends. These factors individually or in combination can result in a commercial upgrading or downgrading of the area and the property with a direct impact on its value. In addition, fluctuations in the economic climate may affect the return-risk relationship that investors are seeking for and may lead them to seek other forms of investment, resulting in adverse developments in the real estate market that could affect the fair value of the Group's and the Company's properties and consequently their performance and financial position. The Group and the Company focus their investment activity on areas and categories of real estate for which there is increased demand and commerciality at least in the medium term based on current data and forecasts. The Group and the Company closely monitor and evaluate developments in the real estate market and their properties are valued by reputable valuers. The successful management and utilization of the Group's portfolio of investment projects depends on macroeconomic developments in Greece and the international markets (to the extent that the latter affect the prevailing conditions in Greece), which in turn have the potential to influence the domestic banking sector and the prevailing trends and conditions in the domestic real estate market. Any extreme adverse changes in macroeconomic conditions as a consequence of geopolitical, health or other developments (such as, for example, the COVID-19 pandemic or the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine) may adversely affect the time plan of development, cost of development, cost of borrowing, value and disposability of the properties and, therefore, the Group's business activity, fair values of the properties, cash flows and financial position. At the level of the domestic real estate market, the sharp increase in inflation and any further increase in interest rates as a consequence of the above, potentially adversely affects both the cost of construction of the projects as well as the cost of capital (debt and equity) required for the development of new projects, as well as the valuation of the fair value of the properties, to the extent that these macroeconomic variables are used as inputs in the valuation.
ii) Cash flow risk and risk of changes in fair value due to changes in interest rates
Interest rate risk arises from the Group's and the Company's long-term debt. The Group's and the Company's long-term debt on 31.12.2023, includes floating interest rate loans, see related note 19, and therefore the Group and the Company are exposed to the risk of changes in fair value due to changes in interest rates and cash flow risk. From the Group's total debt as of 31.12.2023, the amount of €36,550,970 (2022: €29,159,505) relates to the balances of floating rate bond loans of the subsidiaries Alkanor S.M.S.A. and Insignio S.M.S.A.. If the borrowing rate had increased/decreased by 1% during fiscal year 2023, while all other variables remaining constant, the Group's profit or loss for the fiscal year would have decreased/increased by c. €365,510 (2022: €291,595). The above sensitivity analysis has been calculated using the assumption that the balance of the Group's debt on 31.12.2023, was the balance of the Group's debt throughout the year. The Group's policy is to minimise this exposure at all times by monitoring market developments with regard to the interest rate framework and applying the appropriate strategy in each case.# Board of Director’ Report on the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statement as at December 31, 2023
All amounts are expressed in Euro, unless otherwise stated
For those of the Group's long-term euro-denominated loans that are fixed-margin with a floating basis linked to Euribor, the Group has studied the Euribor fluctuation curve over a five-year horizon during which no significant risk has arisen. Given the recent developments in the markets and the indications of a future increase in the base rate (Euribor), the Group companies, in collaboration with the financial institutions that finance them, have introduced clauses in the loan agreements that provide for the use of interest rate risk hedging products under certain conditions. In addition, the Group, having incorporated the philosophy of "green" buildings into the core of its business, has the possibility of using Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRF) resources to finance its projects. With this fixed-rate financing instrument, the Group partially offsets the risk of rising interest rates during the construction period.
iii) Foreign exchange risk
The Group and the Company operate in Europe and the main part of their transactions are conducted in euros. The Group and the Company did not hold any amount of bank deposits in foreign currencies as of 31.12.2023, therefore is not exposed to any risk due to exchange rate fluctuations. Therefore, due to the fact that transactions are mainly conducted in euros and also that there are no cash balances in currencies other than the euro, there is no material foreign exchange risk for the Group and the Company.
b) Credit risk
The credit risk of the Group and the Company as of 31.12.2023, arises from the Group's and the Company's cash and cash equivalents, receivables mainly from customers, receivables from finance subleases and loans granted to related parties. The Group's receivables from customers are mainly from the Company while the receivables from financial subleases are exclusively from the Company. The Group and the Company by definition do not create significant concentrations of credit risk. Contracts are made with customers with a reduced degree of loss. Management continually assesses the creditworthiness of its customers and the maximum credit limits allowed. For the Group's and the Company's receivables and loans and information on the relevant provision for impairment made by the Group and the Company, please see related note 13 of the Financial Statements. The expected credit losses on the Group's and the Company's cash and cash equivalents at the reporting date are not material as the Group and the Company cooperate only with recognised financial institutions with high credit ratings.

All amounts are expressed in Euro, unless otherwise stated
24
c) Liquidity risk
With regard to liquidity risk, the Group and the Company are exposed to liquidity risk due to the medium-term (2-4 years) commitments in relation to their investment program and financial liabilities. The Management of the Group and the Company monitors on a regular basis, the liquidity of the Group and the Company, as well as each time a future investment and/or project is considered, in order to ensure that the required liquidity is available in a timely manner. The Group and the Company manage the risks that may arise from a lack of sufficient liquidity by ensuring that there are always secured bank facilities available for use, access to investment funds, but also prudent cash management.
B. Capital management
The Group's and the Company's objective in terms of capital management is to ensure the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide a satisfactory return to shareholders by pricing services in proportion to costs and maintaining an optimal capital structure. The Management monitors debt in relation to total equity. In order to achieve the desired capital structure, the Group and the Company may adjust the dividend, make a return of capital, or issue new shares. The gearing ratio as at 31.12.2023 and 31.12.2022 is presented below.

The Group reinforces its responsibility by monitoring its negative impact on the environment, developing environmental programs, implementing "Green Procurement" criteria, monitoring regulations and legislation and evaluating compliance, incorporating responsible environmental management standards, training and enhancing the environmental awareness of its employees, and allocating the resources necessary to achieve its objectives. In summary, the Group contributes to the promotion of a sustainable society through environmentally friendly business activities based on the following guidelines:
- Green buildings
Since 2009, the Group has been shaping the ethos of sustainable living, incorporating the philosophy of "green" sustainable buildings at the heart of its activities. The Group specialises in pioneering bioclimatic office buildings, iconic urban regeneration, unique mixed-use projects and modern private sports facilities. The Group is a pioneer in the domestic market and has a proven track record in the development of green buildings. Its core purpose is to ensure the highest standards of environmental coverage for the buildings it develops, implementing high energy efficiency properties tailored to the needs and sustainability strategy of modern businesses. Elements that stand out are the increased energy savings, the integration of bioclimatic elements, the addition of green surfaces with Mediterranean plants in the surrounding area, the construction of external surfaces for pedestrians and bicycles, the excellent connection with public transport, the parking spaces with charging points for electric vehicles, the construction of a rainwater tank to reduce drinking water consumption. In addition, the Group ensures that all its projects are certified to environmental standards, and have achieved LEED Gold certification as a minimum, with its portfolio including three (3) LEED Platinum projects, two (2) for project development services and one (1) through project management services. The Group has been a pioneer in the development of certified green building projects, with the development of the first LEED building in Greece in 2013 (KARELA OFFICE PARK building complex), a highly innovative achievement for that time (source: https://www.usgbc.org/projects/karela-office-park). The Group's increased activity in certified green buildings is evident on the official website of the U.S. Green Building Council ("USGBC"), which is the official LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification body. More specifically, based on official USGBC data, as of 08.03.2024 there are forty (40) certified buildings in Greece in the LEED Building Design and Construction_LEED BD+C category, of which thirteen (13) have been developed by the Group, two (2) have been constructed by the Group, while in one (1) the Group provided project management services. The above shows that the Group has been active in the development of 40% of the domestic certified projects (of the above categories). In the design and construction of the buildings, the weather and the environment are taken into account so that they are highly durable and adaptable to changing conditions. With a particular focus on energy and water conservation, the design incorporates environmentally friendly materials and prioritises the enhancement of health and well-being of users. The goal is to achieve optimal conditions, both internally and externally, with respect for the environment and the surrounding area. Key actions to ensure sustainable buildings, include the optimal use of natural light during the day through special brightness and presence detectors, energy saving through energy modelling, high thermal insulation and installation of efficient systems, the use of rainwater for irrigation, the incorporation of an increased amount of environmentally friendly materials.
28
- Energy management and carbon emissions
The Group, wishing to maintain sound environmental practices, focuses on the efficient use of energy to reduce consumption levels. The efficient use of energy is achieved through the optimization of processes, the adoption of innovative technologies and the awareness of the users of its buildings. The growing presence of the risk of climate change in the industry is becoming increasingly apparent and its effects pose a significant threat to both the environment and human health. The Group is focused on minimising its carbon footprint by optimising the life cycle of all projects, from design to construction and operation.
- Circular economy
Waste, sewage and water
The Group undertakes actions to reduce the amount of waste produced in our offices by focusing on reducing the amount of paper, electrical appliances, plastics and batteries consumed. Also, in our projects we have achieved high diversion of all construction waste from landfills. In addition, the Group is implementing actions related to the reduction of water use outdoors by implementing smart irrigation systems, rainwater harvesting and selection of native plants.
Materials
The Group recognises the profound impact that the extraction and use of raw materials has on the environment. With unwavering commitment, it remains steadfast in its mission to eliminate the undesirable environmental impacts resulting from the use of a significant number of materials. As such, we use environmentally friendly materials and work with responsible partners, establishing relevant standards for materials sourced directly and requirements for its suppliers. The general provisions below include the use of products made from recyclable materials and/or derived from recycled raw materials, the use of less packaging, the use of products made with less harmful substances and certified eco-friendly products, and the application of criteria for all types of equipment related to the energy efficiency.
- Biodiversity and Habital protection
The Group recognises that the well-being of future generations depends on the goods of nature and therefore values and respects everything that nature offers us, aiming for sustainable development. Therefore, the characteristics of biodiversity are taken into account in all its project planning and development processes. At the same time, it recognises the scale, risks and impacts of its business activities, products and services on biodiversity and incorporates green features into its projects to achieve biodiversity enhancement and create a living and working environment that benefits the wider community.

The Company’s Management has decided to change the presentation of the Statement of Comprehensive Income by adopting the presentation by nature instead of by function. The purpose of the change is to align the Company's presentation with the presentation of the Statement of Comprehensive Income of companies in the industry and to facilitate the users of the Financial Statements with respect to comparability with companies in the same industry.

The accounting policies are consistent with those used in the previous fiscal year. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investment property and investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures, which are measured at fair value. Given that the Group's working capital is positive, i.e., current assets exceed current liabilities by €6,752,653, the 1 The table is an extract from the published Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31.12.2022
Group and Company's Management considers that the Group and the Company have sufficient resources to continue their economic activity for the twelve months following the date of approval of the financial statements. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the Company covering the fiscal year from 01.01.2023 to 31.12.2023, have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain significant estimates, judgments and assumptions by Management in applying the accounting policies. Areas involving complex transactions and involving a high degree of subjectivity, or assumptions and estimates that are significant to the financial statements of the Group and the Company are referred to in note 6.
The amounts in the financial statements are presented in euros, unless expressly stated otherwise.
Energy crisis, construction costs and geopolitical developments. The Management, having examined the current financial data of the Company and the Group as well as the future obligations, agreements and prospects, taking into account the impact of the macroeconomic environment, estimates that its prospects of the Company and the Group are positive and that the Company and the Group have the ability to continue their activity without interruption according to their business plan. As a result, the Annual Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The resumption of the economic activity and the gradual emergence from the economic crisis caused by pandemic COVID-19, as well as developments due to the war in Ukraine, have contributed globally both to delays in the supply chain and to rising construction costs. The increase in construction cost was further compounded by the increase in raw material cost and energy cost. Any increase in the construction cost of projects developed by the Group may adversely affect the Group's future results and financial position, to the extent that the increased costs have not been fully absorbed through a corresponding increase in the investment companies’ rents.
In particular, although the unfavorable macroeconomic environment has affected and continues to affect, albeit to a decreasing extent, the domestic and international economy, and indirectly the real estate sector, its impact on the Company's and the Group's course of business is not material for the following reasons:
- The domestic real estate market, in the real estate categories where the Group operates, showed defensive characteristics, as in many cases, due to the high specifications and limited supply of buildings with high energy standards and the rising inflation, there were revaluations in the market values of such properties and the related leases, which offset any negative effects due to an increase in construction costs.
- The Group continued its investment program without interruption and implemented the projects and agreements it had planned. At the same time, the Group entered into new commercial agreements with high-profile counterparties which limit the business risk and safeguard its future course.

- The Group has entered into long-term financing agreements as well as business partnerships which ensure the availability of capital for the completion of the projects and investments undertaken and the realization of new ones.
- The trend towards the transition of economic activity to an operating model that supports sustainable development seems to favor demand for properties with the characteristics of the properties developed by the Group, i.e., properties of high standards and/or for bioclimatic buildings, in attractive locations, particularly with regard to office spaces as well as open-air shopping centers and logistics.
- The Group has studied the Euribor fluctuation curve over a five-year horizon during which no significant risk emerged. Given the recent market developments and the indication of future increase in the base rate (Euribor), the Group’s companies, in cooperation with the financial institutions that finance them, have introduced clauses in the loan agreements that provide for the use of interest rate risk hedging products under certain conditions. In addition, the Group, having incorporated the philosophy of 'green' buildings at the core of its business, has the ability to use Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRF) resources to finance its projects. With this fixed-rate financing instrument, the Group partially offsets the risk of rising interest rates during the construction period.
The Company's Management closely monitors and evaluates developments in order to take the necessary measures and adjust its business plans (if required) with the aim of ensuring its business continuity and limiting any negative effects.
3. New standards, amendments to standards and interpretation
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies used to prepare the Financial Statements for the fiscal year 2022, adapting new Standards, and the revisions to the Standards required by IFRS.
New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations: Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.
Standards and Interpretations effective for the current financial year
- IAS 1 (Amendments) “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IFRS Practice Statement 2 “Disclosure of Accounting policies”: The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information and provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments have no material effect on the consolidated and company Financial Statements.

All amounts expressed in €, unless otherwise stated
81
- IAS 8 (Amendments) “Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates”: The amendments clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The amendments have no material effect on the consolidated and company Financial Statements.
- IAS 12 (Amendments) “Deferred tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction”: The amendments require companies to recognise deferred tax on transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. This will typically apply to transactions such as leases for the lessee and decommissioning obligations. The amendments have no material effect on the consolidated and company Financial Statements.
- IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts” and Amendments to IFRS 17: IFRS 17 has been issued in May 2017 and, along with the amendments to IFRS 17 issued in June 2020, supersedes IFRS 4. IFRS 17 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of insurance contracts within the scope of the Standard and its objective is to ensure that an entity provides relevant information that faithfully represents those contracts. The new standard solves the comparison problems created by IFRS 4 by requiring all insurance contracts to be accounted for in a consistent manner. Insurance obligations will be accounted for using current values instead of historical cost. The amendments have no material effect on the consolidated and company Financial Statements.
- IFRS 17 (Amendments) “Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information”: The amendments add a transition option relating to comparative information about financial assets presented on initial application of IFRS 17. The amendments aim at helping entities to avoid temporary accounting mismatches between financial assets and insurance contract liabilities, and therefore improve the usefulness of comparative information for users of financial statements.# Notes to the Financial Statements

Standards and Interpretations effective for subsequent periods
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for subsequent periods and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated and separate financial statements. The Group is currently investigating the impact of the new standards and amendments on its financial statements and estimates that there will be no material effect.
-
IAS 1 (Amendment) “Classification of liabilities as current or non-current” (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024): The amendment clarifies that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date. The amendment also clarifies what IAS 1 means when it refers to the “settlement” of a liability.
-
IAS 1 (Amendment) “Non-Current Liabilities with Covenants” (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024): The amendments specify that only covenants that an entity is required to comply with on or before the end of the reporting period affect the entity’s right to defer settlement of a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date (and therefore must be considered in assessing the classification of the liability as current or non-current). Such covenants affect whether the right exists at the end of the reporting period, even if compliance with the covenant is assessed only after the reporting date. The right to defer settlement is not affected if an entity only has to comply with a covenant after the reporting period. However, if the entity’s right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to the entity complying with covenants within twelve months after the reporting period, an entity discloses information that enables users of financial statements to understand the risk of the liabilities becoming repayable within twelve months after the reporting period.
-
IFRS 16 (Amendments) “Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback” ((effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024): The amendments add subsequent measurement requirements for sale and leaseback transactions that satisfy the requirements in IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to be accounted for as a sale. The amendments require the seller-lessee to determine “lease payments” or “revised lease payments” such that the seller-lessee does not recognise a gain or loss that relates to the right of use retained by the seller-lessee, after the commencement date.
-
IAS 7 (Amendments) “Statement of Cash Flows” and IFRS 7 (Amendments) “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024): The amendments add a disclosure objective to IAS 7 stating that an entity is required to disclose information about its supplier finance arrangements that enables users of financial statements to assess the effects of those arrangements on the entity’s liabilities and cash flows and the entity’s exposure to liquidity risk. Under the existing Application Guidance in IFRS 7, an entity is required to disclose a description of how it manages the liquidity risk resulting from financial liabilities. The amendments include as an additional factor whether the entity has accessed, or has access to, supplier finance arrangements that provide the entity with extended payment terms or the entity’s suppliers with early payment terms. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
-
IAS 21 (Amendments) “Lack of Exchangeability” (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025): The amendments specify when a currency is exchangeable into another currency and how to determine the exchange rate when it is not. Applying the amendments, a currency is exchangeable when an entity is able to exchange that currency for the other currency through market or exchange mechanisms that create enforceable rights and obligations without undue delay at the measurement date and for a specified purpose. However, a currency is not exchangeable into the other currency if an entity can only obtain no more than an insignificant amount of the other currency at the measurement date for the specified purpose. When a currency is not exchangeable at the measurement date, an entity is required to estimate the spot exchange rate as the rate that would have applied to an orderly exchange transaction at the measurement date between market participants under prevailing economic conditions. In that case, an entity is required to disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate how the currency’s lack of exchangeability affects, or is expected to affect, the entity’s financial performance, financial position and cash flows. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
4. Material accounting policy information
4.1 Consolidation of subsidiary companies
a) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all companies under the control of the Group. The Group has control over an entity when is exposed to or has rights to variable returns from its participation in the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiary companies are consolidated using the full consolidation method from the date the Group obtains control on them and cease to be consolidated from the date the Group loses control on them. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration price is calculated as the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities assumed towards the former shareholders and the shares issued by the Group. The consideration price also includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from any contingent consideration arrangement. Assets and liabilities acquired, as well as contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination, are initially measured at their fair value on the acquisition date. On a case-by-case basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the subsidiary either at fair value or at the value of the share of the non-controlling interest in the net asset value of the subsidiary. The expenses related to the acquisition are accounted for at profit or loss. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the interest held by the Group in the acquired company is remeasured at fair value at the acquisition date. The gain or loss resulting from the remeasurement is recognised in profit or loss. Intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealized profits from transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. The Company’s financial statements and its subsidiaries’ financial statements used to prepare the consolidated financial statements are compiled with the same reporting date. The accounting policies applied by the subsidiaries have been adjusted, where deemed necessary, to comply with those adopted by the Group. The fair value of subsidiaries is determined using valuation techniques and assumptions based on market data and the financial position of the subsidiaries at the date of preparation of their financial statements.
b) Changes in the Group's ownership interest in subsidiaries that do not result in loss on control
Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in losing control of the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company. Gains or losses arising from the sale to the minority shareholders are also recognised in equity.
c) Sale of subsidiaries
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the remaining interest is remeasured at its fair value, while any differences arising in relation to the carrying amount are recognised in profit or loss. Then, this interest is recognised as an associate, joint venture, or financial asset at that fair value.
4.2 Investments in joint ventures
A joint arrangement is an arrangement in which two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when the decisions on the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint ventures, whereby the parties that have joint control, have rights to the net assets of the arrangement, or joint operations, whereby two or more parties have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the arrangement.# Notes to the Financial Statements
Group and Company
All amounts expressed in €, unless otherwise stated
4.3 Foreign Currency Translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the Financial Statements of the Group and the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group and the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated Financial Statements of the Group are presented in Euro (€), which is the functional currency and the presentation currency of the Group and the Company.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation when items are revalued. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at the exchange rates prevailing on the reference date, are recognised in profit or loss.
4.4 Investment property
Properties that are held with the long-term intention of earning rentals or / and for capital appreciation are included in investment property. These properties are not used by the Group and the Company. Investment properties include owned or leased land and buildings under construction that are being developed for future use as investment properties.
Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and borrowing costs. General borrowing costs as well as borrowing costs incurred specifically for the acquisition or construction of an investment property are capitalized, as part of the cost of that item, for the time required until the investment property is ready for use or sale. Interest income from the temporary placement of borrowing undertaken specifically for the acquisition or construction of an investment property is deducted from borrowing costs that are allowed to be capitalized. All other borrowing costs are recorded in profit or loss as they are incurred.
After initial recognition, investment properties are recognised at fair value. Fair value is based on prices prevailing in an active market, adjusted, where necessary, due to differences in the nature, location or condition of the respective asset. If this information is not available, then alternative valuation methods are applied. These valuations are appraised as of June 30 and December 31 of each year by an independent certified professional valuer in accordance with the guidance issued by the International Valuation Standards Committee. The fair value method for properties under construction is only applied when it can be measured reliably.
Subsequent expenditure is charged to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the Company and that costs can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. Changes in fair values are recorded in profit or loss.
Investment property is derecognised when disposed or when use of investment property is ended and there is no future economic benefit expected from the disposal. When the Group and the Company sell an investment property that is measured at fair value in a transaction under the common commercial terms, the carrying amount of the investment property immediately before the sale is adjusted to the transaction price and any difference is recognised in profit or loss in the line «Net fair value (gains) / losses of investment property». Also, the difference between the sales price and the fair value of an investment property immediately before the transaction is recognised in profit or loss under "Gain/(Loss) on sale of investment property".
If an investment property becomes owner-occupied, it is reclassified as property and equipment and its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for accounting purposes. If an item of property and equipment becomes an investment property because its use has changed, any difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of this item at the date of the transfer is recognised in the same way as revaluation of property and equipment under IAS 16. If the use of an investment property changes, such as commencing construction with a view to sale, then it is reclassified to inventories and its fair value at the date of reclassification is defined as its acquisition cost for accounting purposes.
4.5 Property and equipment
Property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes all costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. Subsequent expenditure is added to the carrying amount of property and equipment or recognised as a separate asset only if it is expected to result in future economic benefits to the Group and the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the part of the asset being replaced is derecognised. The cost of repairs and maintenance is recorded in profit or loss of the fiscal year in which they are incurred.
Land and fixed assets under construction (in progress) are not depreciated. The Group’s Management determines the estimated useful lives of other tangible assets (except land and assets under construction). The residual values and useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reassessed and adjusted, if necessary, at the end of each fiscal year. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over their useful lives, estimated as follows:
| Asset Category | Useful Life |
|---|---|
| Leasehold improvements | During the lease term |
| Vehicles | 6.25-10 years |
| Other equipment | 5-10 years |
| Assets of low value (up to €1,500) | one-off depreciation |
For the depreciation of leased tangible assets, refer to note 4.17. The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is written down to its recoverable amount when its carrying amount exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Gains or losses arising on disposal from the difference between the proceeds of disposal and the carrying amount are recognised in profit or loss.
4.6 Goodwill and Intangible assets
a) Goodwill
Goodwill arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries and is the difference between a) consideration paid, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of any prior interest in the acquiree and b) the fair value, at the acquisition date, of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, at the date of acquisition, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the consideration paid, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of any prior interest in the acquiree, the difference is immediately recorded in profit or loss.
For purposes of determining impairment, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which goodwill is allocated constitutes the lowest level within the Group at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate possible impairment. The carrying amount of goodwill is compared to its recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment is recognised directly as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.
b) Software
Acquired software licenses are capitalized based on the costs incurred to acquire and install the specific software. Software licenses are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method over the useful life of these assets, which is estimated to be c. 5-10 years.# Notes to the Financial Statements

4.7 Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group's and the Company's non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. In this case, the recoverable amount of the assets is determined and if the carrying amounts exceed the estimated recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised and charged directly to profit or loss. The recoverable amount of assets is determined as the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of determining impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which cash flows can be separately identified (cash-generating units). Impairment losses recognised in prior periods on non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date for any reversal.
4.8 Financial instruments
Initial recognition
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised in the Group and Company's Statement of Financial Position when the Group and Company become party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
(a) Financial assets
Classification and measurement of financial assets
The Group and the Company classify financial assets in the following measurement categories:
* Financial assets measured at fair value (either through other comprehensive income either through profit and loss)
* Financial assets measured at amortised cost.
Financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets, for financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets, other than investments in equity investments, are classified into one of the following measurement categories based on the Group's and the Company's business model for managing financial assets and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows.
- Amortised cost: The financial asset that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost.

- Fair value through other comprehensive income: Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is collecting the contractual cash flows and selling them, where the cash flows consist solely of payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
- Fair value through profit or loss: All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Group and the Company may irrevocably designate the financial asset as at fair value through profit or loss, at initial recognition of a financial asset, except an investment in equity instruments, and in this case, an inconsistency in measurement or recognition is eliminating or significantly reducing.
Equity Investments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition of an investment in equity investments that are not held for trading, unless the Company has irrevocably elected to measure it at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Group and the Company reclassify financial assets only if the business model for managing them changes. Financial assets for which irrevocable elections/designations have been made at initial recognition, as mentioned above, they cannot be reclassified.
Financial assets are derecognised when the right to cash flows expires or is transferred, and the Group and the Company have transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
When a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, other than investments in equity investments, is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
When an investment in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred to retained earnings.
The Group and the Company at the reporting date hold receivables and loans that are measured at amortised cost, refer to relevant note 13. In addition, the Company's investments in subsidiaries are measured at fair value through profit or loss under IFRS 9, except for the investment in the subsidiary Arcela Investments Ltd, for which the Company has irrevocably elected under IFRS 9 to measure it at fair value through other comprehensive income, refer to relevant note 10.
Impairment
Financial assets, other than investments in equity instruments, measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are subject to impairment. IFRS 9 requires impairment to be calculated on the basis of expected credit losses, using the following 3 stages:
90
Stage 1: Measurement of expected credit losses for the next 12 months. It includes all financial assets with an insignificant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and usually concerns financial assets that have not exceeded their due date by more than 30 days. The proportion of expected credit losses for the total life of the items that will result from credit events (default events) that are likely to occur during the next 12 months is recognised.
Stage 2: Measurement of lifetime expected credit losses – without credit impairment. If a financial asset has a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but is not yet impaired, it is classified as Stage 2 and measured at its lifetime expected credit losses defined as the expected credit loss resulting from all possible credit events of his expected life.
Stage 3: Measurement of lifetime expected credit losses – with credit impairment. If a financial asset is designated as credit impaired, it is transferred to Stage 3 and measured at its lifetime expected credit loss. Objective evidence for a credit-impaired financial asset is more than 90 days late from the due date and other information about significant financial difficulties of the debtors.
The Group and the Company have adopted the simplified approach for the estimation of expected credit losses for trade and other receivables. The Group and the Company at each reporting date measures the allowance for impairment of trade and other receivables at an amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. Accordingly, all of the Group's and the Company's trade and other receivables are classified at Stage 2 and Stage 3 as described above.
The following are the key inputs to the application of the Group's accounting policies in respect of estimates of expected credit losses:
* Exposure at default ("EAD"): represents the amount of the exposure at the reporting date.
* Probability of Default (”PD”): The probability of default is an estimate of the probability within the specified time horizon. The Group and the Company calculate PD using historical data, assumptions and forward-looking estimates.
* Loss Given Default ("LGD"): represents an estimate of the loss that will be incurred at the date of default. LGD is calculated as the difference between the contractual cash flows of the instrument due and the expected future cash flows of the instrument expected to be received. The determination of Loss on Default also considers the effect of the recovery of expected cash flows arising from collateral held by the Group and the Company.
As of 31.12.2023, and 31.12.2022, the Group and the Company did not hold any receivables from customers for which no expected credit loss has been recognised due to the effect of any related collateral.
91
At the centre of the measurement of expected credit loss is the definition of default. The Group and the Company considers an event of default when the debtor is in arrears for more than 90 days or is not likely to repay its obligations to the Group and the Company due to financial difficulties.
The Group and the Company measures expected credit losses on a collective basis for portfolios of receivables from customers with similar credit characteristics. Specifically, the Group and the Company estimate expected credit losses by grouping receivables based on common risk characteristics and days past due. The expected credit losses for the receivables and loans held by the Group and the Company at the reporting date are discussed in note 13.
(b) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value less, in the case of financial liabilities not measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs directly attributable to their incurrence. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost or fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost unless they are held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss. For financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, interest is calculated using the effective interest method and recognised as an expense in profit or loss, unless it is charged to cost of assets.
A financial liability shall be derecognised when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. Otherwise, they are classified as non-current liabilities.# Notes to the Financial Statements
Group and Company
All amounts expressed in €, unless otherwise stated
4.9 Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale
Non-current assets (or a group of assets) are classified as held for sale when their carrying amount is expected to be recovered principally through a sale transaction, rather than through continuing use. To be classified as held for sale, the assets (or group of assets) must be available for immediate sale in their present condition and the sale must be considered highly probable. Management should be committed to the sale, which should be completed within one year from the date of classification of the assets (or groups of assets) as held for sale, subject to the exceptions in IFRS 5, and the actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is not probable that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
On initial recognition, non-current assets (or a group of assets) held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value less direct selling costs. Any impairment is included in the income statement, even in the case of revaluation. The same applies in the case of gains or losses arising from subsequent revaluations.
If the Group has classified an asset (or group of assets) as held for sale but no longer meets the criteria for classification as such, the Group ceases to classify the asset (or group of assets) as held for sale. The Group measures a non-current asset that ceases to be classified as held for sale (or ceases to be included in a group of assets held for sale) at the lower of: (a) the carrying amount before the asset (or group of assets) was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation or amortisation that would have been recognised if the asset (or group of assets) had not been classified as held for sale; and (b) its recoverable amount at the date of the subsequent decision not to be sold.
The Group's non-current assets as of 31.12.2023 are analysed in note 16.
4.10 Inventories
The Group's inventories relate to properties that are being developed with a view to being sold on completion. Where inventories arise from a change in the use of investment properties, such as commencement of construction with a view to sale, the properties are reclassified to inventories at their deemed cost, which is their fair value at the date of reclassification.
Inventories are subsequently measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less development and selling costs.
4.11 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, term deposits, bank overdraft accounts, and other highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to specific amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of preparing the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and deposits with banks and cash on hand as identified above.
4.12 Restricted cash
Restricted cash relates to amounts that cannot be used by the Group until a specific point in time or event in the future occurs and are not cash equivalents. In cases where restricted cash are expected to be used within one year from the date of the statement of financial position, they are classified as current assets. If they are not expected to be used within one year from the date of the statement of financial position, they are classified as other long-term receivables.
4.13 Current tax
The income tax for the year includes the current tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, income tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Current income tax is calculated in accordance with tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The Group's Management periodically assesses the positions in tax returns relating to situations where tax laws are subject to interpretation and makes provisions, where necessary, based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
4.14 Deferred tax
The deferred tax for the year is included in the income tax for the year. Deferred income tax arises from temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their tax base. No deferred tax liability is recognised from the initial recognition of goodwill. Also, deferred tax is not recognised if it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, when the transaction occurred, affected neither the accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset is recovered, or the deferred tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that there will be a future taxable profit for the utilization of the temporary difference that gives rise to the deferred tax asset. A deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements, unless the parent, investor or participant in a joint arrangement is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. A deferred tax asset is recognised for deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that it is expected that the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there will be a future taxable profit for the utilization of the temporary difference.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.
4.15 Share capital and treasury stock reserve
Share capital corresponds to the nominal value of the Company's ordinary shares. The increase in share capital by cash payment includes any premium in excess of the nominal value at the initial issue of share capital. Direct costs of issuing new shares are shown, net of tax, abstract in Equity as a reduction in the proceeds of the issue.
On the acquisition of treasury stocks, the consideration paid, including related costs, is recorded as a deduction from equity in a separate line "Treasury Stock Reserve". Treasury stocks do not carry voting rights.
4.16 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group and the Company have a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. If the effect of the time value of money is significant, provisions are recognised on a discounted basis using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks associated with the liability. When provisions are discounted, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a financial cost.
Provisions are reviewed at each financial statement date and if it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, they are offset. No provisions for future losses are recognised. Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements.
The Group and the Company recognise provisions for onerous revenue contracts with customers. An onerous contract is a contract in which the unavoidable costs of fulfilling the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. The Group and the Company recognises as a provision the expected losses on a customer contract as soon as they become probable, based on estimates of the total revenue and total expense of the contract. At the reporting date, the Group and the Company have not recognised any related provisions.
4.17 Leases
The Group as lessee
The Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception and recognises, as appropriate, at the inception date of each lease, a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability for all leases in which it is a lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of a low-value underlying asset. For these leases, the Group recognises rentals as operating expenses using the straight-line method over the lease term.
Expired leases that have been "tacitly" renewed are considered to be unenforceable, i.e., no enforceable rights and obligations arise from them. The Group recognises the rentals relating to these leases as operating expenses in profit or loss.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that remain outstanding at the commencement date of the lease term, which are discounted at the imputed interest rate of the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate.# Notes to the Financial Statements
Group and Company
All amounts expressed in €, unless otherwise stated
96
Rentals included in the measurement of the lease liability consist of:
* fixed rents (including substantially fixed rents), less any lease incentives,
* variable rents that are dependent on an index or interest rate, initially measured using the index or interest rate at the commencement date of the lease term,
* amounts that the lessee is expected to pay under residual value guarantees,
* the exercise price of the call option if it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise that option; and
* the payment of a termination penalty if the lease term reflects the exercise of the lessee's right to terminate the lease.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to recognise interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and decreasing the carrying amount to recognise lease payments. The Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes the corresponding adjustments to the related right-of-use assets) if:
- there is a change in the term of the lease or a change in the valuation of the purchase option. In this case, the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments at the revised discount rate.
- if there is a change in the rents because of a change in the index or interest rate or in the amounts expected to be paid under the residual value guarantee. In such cases, the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments at the original discount rate.
- a lease is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease. In this case, the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the revised discount rate.
Variable rents that are not index-linked or interest rate dependent are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and therefore are not a component of the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition triggering those payments occurs.
As required by IFRS 16, the Group has applied the practical expedient in IFRS 16 whereby the lessee is not required to separate non-lease elements, and therefore accounts for each lease and related non-lease element as a single contract. Lease liabilities are included in the line item “Debt” in the Statement of Financial Position.
The right-of-use asset includes the initial measurement of the related lease liability, the rents paid at or before the commencement date of the lease term, and any initial direct costs. Subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The Group applies IAS 36 to determine whether the right-of-use asset is impaired.
Where the Group has a contractual obligation to dismantle and remove the underlying asset, to restore the site to its original condition or to restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, the Group recognises a provision which is measured in accordance with IAS 37. These costs add to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset. The Group did not incur any of these costs during fiscal year 2023 and 2022.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the underlying asset. If, as a result of the lease agreement, ownership of the respective underlying asset is transferred or the cost of the right-of-use asset includes the purchase price of the underlying asset since the Group expects to exercise the right to purchase it, that right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the respective underlying asset. Amortisation starts from the beginning of the lease period. If the right-of-use assets meet the definition of investment property, the related right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Right-of-use assets are included in "Property and equipment" and "Investment property" in the Statement of Financial Position.
The Group as lessor
Leases in which the Group is the lessor are classified as either finance or operating leases. When the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the asset to the lessee, the lease is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
When the Group is an intermediate lessee, it accounts for the master lease and the sublease as two separate contracts. A sublease is classified as either a finance lease or an operating lease depending on the right-of-use asset arising from the master lease.
The leases in which the Group is the lessor relate to subleases of office space, which are classified as finance leases. In addition, the Group is a lessor in leases of space on buildings for the installation of mobile phone antennas and a residential property and these leases are classified as operating leases.
Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised as a receivable in the amount of the Group's net investment in the finance lease. The finance income from the lease is allocated to the reporting periods to reflect the Group's constant periodic rate of return on its remaining net investment in the finance leases. Revenue from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The initial direct costs of negotiating and executing an operating lease agreement are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognised using the straight-line method over the term of the lease.

4.18 Employee benefits
(a) Short term benefits
Short-term benefits to personnel in cash and in kind are recognised as an expense when considered accrued.
(b) Retirement benefits
Post-employment benefits include both defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. The Group and the Company has an obligation to a defined benefit plan under Greek legislation that determines the amount of retirement benefit an employee will receive upon retirement, which depends on more than one factor such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability recognised in the statement of financial position for the defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date less the fair value of the assets of the plan. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by discounting the expected future cash outflows using interest rates of high quality corporate bonds denominated in euro with a maturity approximating the duration of the related pension obligation.
The current service cost of the defined benefit plan is recognised in profit or loss except the case when it is included in the cost of an asset. Current service cost reflects the increase in the defined benefit obligation resulting from employee service during the year and changes due to curtailments or settlements. Current service costs are recognised directly in profit or loss.
Net interest cost is calculated as the net amount between the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets multiplied by the discount rate. This cost is included in the results under employee benefits. Actuarial gains and losses arising from empirical adjustments and from changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in other comprehensive income in the year in which they arise.
For defined contribution plans, the Group and the Company pay contributions to public or private insurance funds, either mandatory, contractual or voluntary. Once the contributions have been paid, there is no further obligation for the Group and the Company. Contributions are recognised as employee benefit costs when they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will result in a reduction in future payments or a refund of cash.

(c) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when the Group and the Company either terminate the employment of employees before retirement or following an employee's decision to accept an offer of benefits in exchange for termination of employment. The Group and the Company recognise termination benefits as a liability and expense on the earlier of (a) when the Group and the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and (b) when the Group and the Company recognises restructuring costs that fall within the scope of IAS 37 and involve the payment of termination benefits. Termination benefits due 12 months after the date of the statement of financial position are discounted.
4.19 Recognition of revenues
The sources of revenue for the Group and the Company are the following:
* Project management services
* Facility maintenance services
* Building construction services
* Consulting services
* Income from the sale of property
* Provision of administrative support services
* Dividend income
Revenue is measured on the basis of the consideration specified in the contract with the customer and does not include amounts received on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when control of the good or service is transferred to the customer. The Group does not enter into contracts where the period between the transfer of goods or services promised to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. Accordingly, the Group does not adjust the transaction price for the time value of money.# Project management services
The Company's relevant contracts with its customers include two performance obligations: a) the services of preparation and overall management of the project (preliminary studies, studies, preparation of business plans, licensing, construction, financing, organization of operation and general coordination) and b) the services of achieving exploitation agreements for the project. Project preparation and overall project management services involve the coordination of the project, from the planning of the development of the property to its delivery, and include a number of individual tasks/services. The Company has concluded that the individual tasks/services may have the potential to be distinct, but the Company's promise to convey each service to the client cannot be identified separately from the other promises contained in the contract, as the overall promise to the client is the overall management of the project. Project preparation and overall project management services are Notes to the Financial Statements Group and Company All amounts expressed in €, unless otherwise stated 99 performance obligations that are fulfilled over time and the measurement of progress towards the complete fulfillment of the performance obligations, i.e. the measurement of the percentage of completion of the service, is performed using the input method, specifically based on the costs incurred up to the reporting date in relation to the total estimated costs for each project. The Company excludes from the input method the effects of any costs that do not reflect performance on the part of the Company in transferring control of services to the customer, such as, but not limited to, cost overruns. The fee for project preparation and overall project management services is defined in the relevant contracts as a percentage of construction costs, and the relevant contracts also set a maximum fee amount (which has been calculated based on the project cost budget). The Company during the provision of services recognises revenue based on the maximum (budgeted) fee amount, as this is the most probable amount that the Company will receive for the specific services during the entire project. The Company proceeds with the relative invoicing to customers generally on a monthly basis. Services for the achievement of exploitation agreements (lease, sale, concession) constitute separate potential performance obligations, which are fulfilled at a given point in time, i.e., at the time of the achievement of exploitation agreements, which coincides with the signing of the preliminary or final agreements. In the case of a pre-contract, part of the fee for the specific performance obligation is invoiced at the signature of the pre-contracts, while the remaining part is invoiced at the signature of the definitive agreement/contract. The part of the fee paid upon signature of the final agreement/contract shall constitute variable remuneration. The related amount is not recognised as revenue by the Company until the time of signing the definitive agreement / contract, as until that time the Company believes that there is increased probability that a reversal of the recognised revenue will occur in the future.
Facility Maintenance Services
In the relevant contracts, the Company undertakes to provide preventive and corrective maintenance services for buildings, infrastructure and facilities as well as security systems, using the necessary consumables in each case. Preventive maintenance services are carried out systematically during the term of the contract on the basis of an agreement with the customer, while corrective maintenance services are carried out upon the customer's request during the term of the contract. The Company has concluded that the provision of maintenance services is a series of distinct services that are essentially the same and are transferred in the same way to the customer and therefore constitute a performance obligation that is fulfilled over time as the customer receives and simultaneously assumes the benefits of performance of the Company. The relevant contracts specify a specific amount per maintenance task and the Company invoices customers for the maintenance work performed no later than every quarter. The Company has decided to use the practical expedient provided by the standard for the related contracts and recognise revenue equal to the amount it is entitled to invoice.
Notes to the Financial Statements Group and Company All amounts expressed in €, unless otherwise stated 100
Building construction services
Following an evaluation of the building construction contracts, the Group and the Company concluded that the relevant contracts include only one performance obligation, the construction of the project undertaken. The construction of each project is a performance obligation that is fulfilled over time, as performance on the part of the Company creates or enhances an asset over which the customer (developer) has control as the asset is created or enhanced. The measurement of progress towards the complete fulfilment of the performance obligation, i.e. the measurement of the percentage of completion of each project, is performed using either the input or output method, as appropriate. The output method uses the engineers' certifications of the work completed up to a given point in time. In each case, the method that best reflects the transfer of control of the project to the client is chosen. Also, the relevant contracts with customers may include a variable price. The Company makes an estimate of the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the transfer of the project to the customer and includes in the transaction price some or all of the estimated variable consideration only to the extent that there is an increased likelihood that there will not be a significant reversal in the amount of accumulated revenue recognised when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently eliminated. At the end of each reporting period, the Company updates the estimated transaction price, as well as its assessment of the variable consideration, in order to faithfully represent the conditions existing at the end of the reporting period and changes in conditions during the reporting period. The Company proceeds with related billings to customers generally on a monthly basis.
Consulting services
The Company provides consulting services regarding the acquisition/realization of properties of third- party clients. The provision of these services is a series of discrete services that are essentially the same and are transferred in the same manner to the client and therefore constitute a performance obligation that is fulfilled over time. As the Company's efforts are expended evenly throughout the period of performance of the related services, the Company has determined that the related revenue should be recognised using the straight-line method over the term of each contract.
Income from the sale of property
The Group and the Company may sell properties that are classified as Inventories. This sale constitutes a single performance obligation and the Group and the Company have determined that it is satisfied at the time control is transferred and, more specifically, when legal title is transferred to the customer and the customer obtains control of the asset.
Provision of administrative support services
The Company provides accounting services, as well as secretarial, tax, legal and administrative support to its clients. The provision of these services is a series of discrete services that are essentially the same and are transferred in the same way to the client and therefore constitute a performance obligation that is Notes to the Financial Statements Group and Company All amounts expressed in €, unless otherwise stated 101 fulfilled over time. As the Company's efforts are expended evenly throughout the period of performance of the related services, the Company has determined that the related revenue should be recognised using the straight-line method over the term of each contract.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive dividends is established by the shareholders, i.e. after their approval by the General Meeting. The Company, adopting the resolution of the Accounting Standards Board No. 2284/24.10.2016, in the event of the receipt of an interim dividend, while at the same time fulfilling all the relevant tax obligations, recognises it in its income on the date of receipt, since the interim dividend payer is a subsidiary company that is 100% owned by the parent company and therefore there is no question of disputes and appeals of the relevant decisions of the competent bodies.
Contractual assets, receivables and contractual liabilities
A contractual asset is the Company's right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that it has transferred to a customer. A receivable is the Company's right to consideration that is unconditional. A right to consideration is considered unconditional if only the passage of time is required for payment of that consideration to become due. A contractual obligation is an obligation of the Company to transfer to a customer goods or services for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is receivable) from the customer. For the Group and the Company, contractual assets relate to the revenue receivable from contracts with customers that have not been invoiced in each reporting period. Contractual assets of the Group and the Company are included in the line item "Trade and other receivables", refer to relevant note 13. Contractual liabilities of the Group and the Company relate to deferred revenue from contracts with customers and are included in the line item "Trade and other payables", refer to relevant note 21.# Notes to the Financial Statements

4.20 Recognition of expenses
Expenses are recognised on an accrual basis.
4.21 Dividend distribution
Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are approved by the Company’s Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
4.22 Operating segments
The business segments in the Financial Statements are presented in a manner consistent with the business segments in the internal reports used by the chief operating decision maker or the competent body for making operating decisions. The relevant chief or the relevant body is responsible for making decisions about the allocation of resources by business segment and for assessing its performance. The Group has designated the Chief Executive Officer as the chief operating decision maker. All transactions between business segments are conducted on an arm's length basis, while transactions between segments are eliminated. Revenues and expenses directly related to each segment are taken into account in assessing its performance. Geographical segments include revenues from assets located or managed in the respective geographical area.
4.23 Earnings per share
A basic earnings per share (EPS) ratio is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding the average number of ordinary shares purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares. A diluted earnings per share ratio is calculated using the same method as the basic EPS, but the determinants are adjusted to reflect the potential dilution that could occur if convertible debt securities, share options, or other contracts to issue ordinary shares were converted or exercised into ordinary shares.
4.24 Related party transactions
Related parties include the company’s shareholders, refer to Note 31, as well as the companies in which the abovementioned shareholders and the Company have the control or have significant influence in the management and financial decision making. Additionally, related parties include the members of the Board of Directors, the members of the Management of the Company and the Group’s subsidiaries, their close relatives, companies owned or controlled by them and companies over which they have significant influence in the management and the financial decision making. All transactions with related parties have been carried out on an arm's length basis (in accordance with normal commercial terms for similar transactions with third parties).
5. Financial risk management
5.1 Financial risk factors
The Group and the Company are exposed to financial risks such as market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Financial risks are managed by the Management of the Group and the Company. The Group and Company Management identifies, evaluates and takes measures to hedge against financial risks.

a) Market risk
i) Price risk
The Group and the Company are indirectly exposed to price risk related to financial instruments to the extent that the value of subsidiaries and/or joint ventures fluctuates due to changes in the value of the underlying assets (real estate). The operation of the real estate market involves risks associated with factors such as the geographical location and commerciality of the property, the general business activity in the area and the type of use in relation to future developments and trends. These factors individually or in combination can result in a commercial upgrading or downgrading of the area and the property with a direct impact on its value. In addition, fluctuations in the economic climate may affect the return-risk relationship that investors are seeking for and may lead them to seek other forms of investment, resulting in adverse developments in the real estate market that could affect the fair value of the Group's and the Company's properties and consequently their performance and financial position.
The Group and the Company focus their investment activity on areas and categories of real estate for which there is increased demand and commerciality at least in the medium term based on current data and forecasts. The Group and the Company closely monitor and evaluate developments in the real estate market and their properties are valued by reputable valuers. The successful management and utilization of the Group's portfolio of investment projects depends on macroeconomic developments in Greece and the international markets (to the extent that the latter affect the prevailing conditions in Greece), which in turn have the potential to influence the domestic banking sector and the prevailing trends and conditions in the domestic real estate market. Any extreme adverse changes in macroeconomic conditions as a consequence of geopolitical, health or other developments (such as, for example, the COVID-19 pandemic or the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine) may adversely affect the time plan of development, cost of development, cost of borrowing, value and disposability of the properties and, therefore, the Group's business activity, fair values of the properties, cash flows and financial position.
At the level of the domestic real estate market, the sharp increase in inflation and any further increase in interest rates as a consequence of the above, potentially adversely affects both the cost of construction of the projects as well as the cost of capital (debt and equity) required for the development of new projects, as well as the valuation of the fair value of the properties, to the extent that these macroeconomic variables are used as inputs in the valuation.

ii) Cash flow risk and risk of changes in fair value due to changes in interest rates
Interest rate risk arises from the Group's and the Company's long-term debt. The Group's and the Company's long-term debt on 31.12.2023, includes floating interest rate loans, see related note 19, and therefore the Group and the Company are exposed to the risk of changes in fair value due to changes in interest rates and cash flow risk. Out of the Group's total debt on 31.12.2023, the amount of €36,550,970 (2022: €29,159,505) relates to the balances of floating rate bond loans of the subsidiaries Alkanor S.M.S.A. and Insignio S.M.S.A..
If the borrowing rate was increased/decreased by 1% during fiscal year 2023, while all other variables remaining constant, the Group's profit or loss for the year would have decreased/increased by c. €365,510 (2022: €291,595). The above sensitivity analysis has been calculated using the assumption that the balance of the Group's debt on 31.12.2023, was the balance of the Group's debt throughout the year.
The Group's policy is to minimise this exposure at all times by monitoring market developments with regard to the interest rate framework and applying the appropriate strategy in each case. For those of the Group's long-term euro-denominated loans that are fixed-margin with a floating basis linked to Euribor, the Group has studied the Euribor fluctuation curve over a five-year horizon during which no significant risk has arisen. Given the recent developments in the markets and the indications of a future increase in the base rate (Euribor), the Group companies, in collaboration with the financial institutions that finance them, have introduced clauses in the loan agreements that provide for the use of interest rate risk hedging products under certain conditions. In addition, the Group, having incorporated the philosophy of "green" buildings into the core of its business, has the possibility of using Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRF) resources to finance its projects. With this fixed-rate financing instrument, the Group partially offsets the risk of rising interest rates during the construction period. Note 5.1 (c) below includes an analysis with the contractual undiscounted future undiscounted cash flows from the Group's and the Company's debt.
iii) Foreign exchange risk
The Group and the Company operate in Europe and the main part of their transactions are conducted in euros. The Group and the Company did not hold any amount of bank deposits in foreign currencies as of 31.12.2023, therefore is not exposed to any risk due to exchange rate fluctuations. Therefore, due to the fact that transactions are mainly conducted in euros and also that there are no cash balances in currencies other than the euro, there is no material foreign exchange risk for the Group and the Company.

b) Credit risk
The credit risk of the Group and the Company as of 31.12.2023, arises from the Group's and the Company's cash and cash equivalents, receivables mainly from customers, receivables from finance subleases and loans granted to related parties. The Group's receivables from customers are mainly from the Company while the receivables from financial subleases are exclusively from the Company. The Group and the Company by definition do not create significant concentrations of credit risk. Contracts are made with customers with a reduced degree of loss. Management continually assesses the creditworthiness of its customers and the maximum credit limits allowed. For the Group's and the Company's receivables and loans and information on the relevant provision for impairment made by the Group and the Company, see related note 13 of the Financial Statements.The expected credit losses on the Group's and the Company's cash and cash equivalents at the reporting date are not material as the Group and the Company cooperate only with recognised financial institutions with high credit ratings.
c) Liquidity risk
With regard to liquidity risk, the Group and the Company are exposed to liquidity risk due to the medium- term (2-4 years) commitments in relation to their investment program and financial liabilities. The Management of the Group and the Company monitors on a regular basis, the liquidity of the Group and the Company, as well as each time a future investment and/or project is considered, in order to ensure that the required liquidity is available in a timely manner. The Group and the Company manage the risks that may arise from a lack of sufficient liquidity by ensuring that there are always secured bank facilities available for use, access to investment funds, but also prudent cash management. The table below shows, as at the reporting date, the cash flows payable by the Group and the Company from financial liabilities. The amounts presented in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

5.2 Capital management
The Group's and the Company's objective in terms of capital management is to ensure the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide a satisfactory return to shareholders by pricing services in proportion to costs and maintaining an optimal capital structure. The Management monitors debt in relation to total equity. In order to achieve the desired capital structure, the Group and the Company may adjust the dividend, make a return of capital, or issue new shares.

5.3 Fair value
Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities The Group and the Company use the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments:
- Level 1: Financial assets that are traded in active markets whose fair value is determined based on published market prices at the reporting date for similar assets and liabilities.
- Level 2: Financial assets that are not traded in active markets whose fair value is determined using valuation techniques and assumptions based either directly or indirectly on market data at the reporting date.
- Level 3: Financial assets that are not traded in active markets whose fair value is determined using valuation techniques and assumptions that are not substantially based on market data.
The Company's financial instruments measured at fair value relate to investments in subsidiaries. Due to the fact that the subsidiaries are not listed companies and therefore there is no active market under IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement", other valuation methods were used to measure them, namely the net asset value ("Net Asset Value"), excluding deferred tax assets/liabilities, as it is considered to represent the fair value of the subsidiaries at the reporting date. The above method falls within level 3 of the hierarchy as described above.
6. Significant accounting policies and judgements
Management's estimates and judgments are continually reviewed and are based on historical data and expectations of future events that are considered to be reasonable under current circumstances.
6.1 Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
The Group and the Company make estimates and assumptions about the development of future events. The resulting accounting estimates, by definition, rarely equal the relevant actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:
a) Fair value measurement of the Group’s and Company’s investment properties
The Group and the Company collaborate with certified valuers to carry out fair value valuations of investment properties. The most appropriate indication of fair value is the current values prevailing in an active market for related leases and other contracts. If such information cannot be obtained, value is determined through a range of reasonable fair value estimates. In making such a decision, the Group and the Company consider inputs from a variety of sources, including:
(i) Current prices in an active real estate market of a different nature, condition or location (or subject to different leases or other contracts), adjusted for these differences,
(ii) Recent prices of similar properties in less active markets, adjusted to reflect any changes in economic conditions that have occurred since the date of the relevant transactions in those prices; and
(iii) Discounted cash flows, based on reliable estimates of future cash flows derived from the terms of existing leases and other contracts and (where practicable) from external inputs such as, current rental rates for similar properties in the same location and condition, using discount rates that reflect the current market assessment regarding the uncertainty of the amount and timing of those cash flows.
Disclosures relating to the calculation of the fair value of investment property are detailed in notes 8 and 10.
b) Fair value measurement of the Company’s investments in subsidiaries
The Company's financial instruments measured at fair value relate to investments in subsidiaries, which are unlisted companies. The fair values of investments in subsidiaries are determined using other valuation methods, namely the net asset value ("Net Asset Value"), excluding deferred tax assets/liabilities, as it is considered to represent the fair value of the subsidiaries at the reporting date, refer to relevant note 10.
c) Contingent liabilities
A group and a company may be involved in various disputes and legal cases. The Group and the Company review the status of each significant case on a periodic basis and assess the potential financial risk partially based on the opinion of legal services. If the potential loss from any litigation and legal cases is considered probable and the amount can be reliably estimated, the Group and the Company calculate a provision for the estimated loss. Both in determining the likelihood and in determining whether the risk can be reliably estimated, significant management judgment is required. As additional information becomes available, the Group and the Company review the potential liability relating to pending litigation and legal matters and it is likely that the estimates of the likelihood of an adverse outcome and the related estimate of probable loss will be revised. Such revisions to the estimates of the probable liability may have a significant impact on the financial position and results of operations of the Group and the Company.
d) Income tax
The provision for income tax under IAS 12 "Income Taxes" relates to the amounts of taxes expected to be paid to the tax authorities and includes the provision for current income tax and the provision for any additional taxes that may arise as a result of an audit by the tax authorities. The Group companies are subject to different income tax jurisdictions and therefore significant judgement is required by Management in order to determine the Group's provision for income tax. The reported income taxes may differ from these estimates due to future changes in tax legislation, significant changes in the laws of the countries in which the Group and the Company operate, or unforeseen effects of the final determination of the tax liability for each financial year by the tax authorities.# Notes to the Financial Statements

During 2023, a gain was recognised in the Group's results from revaluation of investment property at fair value of €19,338,963, while during 2022, a gain was recognised in the Group's results and a loss in the Company’s results from revaluation of investment property at fair value of €8,221,098 and €159,047, respectively. The Company did not recognise a gain/(loss) in the results for the year 2023 as the fair value of the investment property remained constant compared to the previous year and no additions were made to the owned property. The revaluation gain on investment properties is mainly derived from the amendment in conditions compared to the previous year on existing investment property (urban maturation, progress of projects, commercial maturation, etc.) and the conditions that existed at the first valuation of newly acquired investment properties. The main conditions that affected the fair value revaluation gain on investment properties are the signing of lease agreements, the acquisition of investment properties at a lower price than the market value and the signing of sale agreements during 2023. In 2022, the subsidiary Dimand Real Estate (Cyprus) Ltd proceeded on 16.12.2022, with the sale of a residential house in Mykonos built on the company’s plot of land with a total surface area of c. 137 sq.m. for a consideration of €1,050,000. From the above transaction, the Group accounted in 2022 a gain on sale on investment property amounting to €123,000. In addition, the Group recognised a gain on revaluation of the investment property to fair value prior to its disposal amounting to €5,000, which included in the line item "Net fair value gains / (losses) on investment property". At 31.12.2023, the Group classified investment properties of the Company and its subsidiaries Terra Attiva S.M.S.A., Perdim S.M.S.A., Insignio S.M.S.A. and Citrus S.M.S.A. valued at €50,380,000 in the line item "Inventories" in the Statement of Financial Position as it considered that the criteria of IAS 2 were met, refer to note 14.

10. Investments in Subsidiaries (Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive come (FVTOCI), Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL))
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss relate to investment in subsidiaries. The Company measures investments in subsidiaries under IFRS 9, at fair value through profit or loss, except for the investment in the subsidiary Arcela Investments Ltd, for which the Company has irrevocably elected to measure at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company made this irrevocable election as this investment is held by the Company as a long-term strategic investment and is not expected to be sold in the short to medium term. Due to the fact that the subsidiaries are unlisted companies and therefore there is no active market under IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement", other valuation methods were used to measure them, namely the net asset value ("Net Asset Value"), excluding deferred tax assets/liabilities, as it is considered to represent the fair value of the subsidiaries at the reporting date. The above method falls within level 3 of the hierarchy as described in note 5.3.
The following table sets out details of the subsidiaries consolidated by the Group:

According to article 58 of the Tax Code (Law 4172/2013, A' 167) as amended by article 120 of Law 4799/2021, income for the tax year 2023 is taxed at a tax rate of 22%. The tax rate was 22% in the previous fiscal year as well. The corporate income tax rate in Cyprus is 12.5% and in Bulgaria 10%. For 2011 and onwards, Greek Public Limited Companies and Limited Liability Companies whose annual financial statements are subject to mandatory audit by statutory auditors are required to obtain an "Annual Certificate" as provided for in par. 5 of article 82 of Law 2238/1994 for the fiscal years 2011-2013 and the provisions of article 65A of Law 4174/2013 for 2014 and 2015. Upon completion of the tax audit, the Statutory Auditor or audit firm issues the company with a "Tax Compliance Report" and then submits it electronically to the Ministry of Finance. In application of relevant tax provisions: a) of par. 1 of Article 84 of Law No. 2238/1994 (pending income tax cases), b) par. 1 of Article 57 of Law No. 2859/2000 (pending VAT cases) and c) par. 5 of Article 9 of Law No. 2523/1997 (imposition of fines for income tax cases), the State's right to impose the tax for the years up to 2017 is time-barred until 31.12.2023, subject
164
to any special or exceptional provisions that may provide for a longer limitation period and under the conditions set out therein. In addition, according to the established case-law of the Council of State and the administrative courts, in the absence of a provision on limitation in the Code of Laws on Stamp Duties, the relevant claim of the State for the imposition of stamp duties is subject to the twenty-year limitation period under Article 249 of the Civil Code. According to POL.1006/05.01.2016, companies for which a tax certificate is issued without reservations for violations of tax legislation are not exempted from regular tax audits by the competent tax authorities. Therefore, the tax authorities may come back and conduct their own tax audit. However, it is estimated by the Group's management that the results of such future audits by the tax authorities, if ultimately carried out, will not have a significant impact on the financial position of the Group and the Company. As far as Cyprus based subsidiaries are concerned, according to the Cyprus Tax Law the tax authorities have the right to audit the last six (6) years. The tax audit by the Certified Public Accountants of those Group companies that have been subject to the tax audit for the fiscal year 2023, as provided for by the provisions of article 65A of Law 4174/2013, is in progress and the relevant tax certificate is expected to be issued after the publication of the annual financial statements for the fiscal year 2023. However, the Group's management does not expect a material change in both the tax liabilities for this fiscal year upon completion of the tax audit and for the other unaudited tax years.
