Dear Shareholders, Partners and Clients,

Echo Investment has had a very good year. I am pleased to provide you with our financial report in which we describe our work and its results.

The scale of our Company's activity has been growing rapidly in the recent years, which is why we devote a lot of energy to strengthening our business functions, efficiency and streamlining procedures. We hired over 100 employees in 2017 due to the greater number of projects under construction. Our management spent substantial time meeting shareholders and potential investors, reporting improvements and educatingthe capital market. The Company is constantly working on improving our compliance system, establishing internal audit function, reviewing procedures and routines. This will positively affect the transparency of operations, facilitate decision-making and reduce risks.

Echo Investment effectively implements its strategy of profitable growth. We have focused on the largest cities in Poland, we sell investment projects successfully. Being the leader among retail and office developers we are dynamically growing in the residential sector. We established advantageous partnerships with EPP at the Galeria Młociny shopping centre and the Towarowa 22 multifunctional project in Warsaw, to be present on the strongest consumer market in Poland. We are also extremely pleased about the first 'destination' projects that we started last year: large, city-forming, multifunctional piece of cities such as Browary Warszawskie and Moje Miejsce in Warsaw. Echo Investment is the only Polish developer with great experience from three sectors of the real estate market: office, retail and residential, so we are uniquely positioned to create such 'destination' projects in Łódź, Kraków and Wrocław, where we already have bought proper plots. Furthermore, the construction of such projects reflects how Echo Investment understands responsibility for co-creating a friendly urban space.

2017 was the first full year in which the results were generated in accordance with our new strategy, almost exclusively from development activities. Our Group generated a net profit of PLN 312 mln. This is the result of delivering 1,006 apartments to our clients and fair value gains on our investment properties by PLN 234 mln, mainly coming from Libero in Katowice, Sagittarius Business House in Wrocław and O3 Business Campus II in Kraków. The results were also influenced by the recognition of the market value of our EPP's shareholding and the remuneration received for the development of Outlet Park and Galaxy in Szczecin as well as leasing of Q22 in Warsaw.

Our profitable growth strategy objective was successfully implemented in 2017 in the office sector. We concluded preliminary contracts for the sale of pre – leased buildings in Wrocław i.e. Sagittarius and West Link, which will be completed in 2018. Furthermore, we have finalized the sale of three other office buildings completed in 2017. Renowned tenants such as L'Oréal Polska, Nokia Networks, EY, Philips Lighting Poland and HCL decided to locate their offices in our buildings. We successfully cooperate with the dynamically developing sector of shared services (BPO/SSC). That is reflected in the Outsourcing Stars 2016 award which we received last year.

Echo Investment effectively implements its strategy of profitable growth. We have focused on the largest cities in Poland, we sell investment projects successfully. Being the leader among retail and office developers we are dynamically growing in the residential sector. We established advantageous partnerships with EPP at the Galeria Młociny shopping centre and the Towarowa 22 multifunctional project in Warsaw, to be present on the strongest consumer market in Poland. We are also extremely pleased about the first 'destination' projects that we started last year: large, city-forming, multifunctional piece of cities such as Browary Warszawskie and Moje Miejsce in Warsaw. Echo Investment is the only Polish developer with great experience from three sectors of the real estate market: office, retail and residential, so we are uniquely positioned to create such 'destination' projects in Łódź, Kraków and Wrocław, where we already have bought proper plots. Furthermore, the construction of such projects reflects how Echo Investment understands responsibility for co-creating a friendly urban space.

The retail department completed the extension and rental of Outlet Park and Galaxy projects in Szczecin, pre – sold to EPP. Both projects were completed with results better than budgeted. The results of the leasing of Libero in Katowice and Galeria Młociny in Warsaw are also excellent. Libero is over 90% leased and it will be opened for customers already in Q3 2018. In Galeria Młociny our retail specialists designed a new leisure and gastronomy concept. I am convinced that this area will be very attractive and exciting for the future visitors.

The highest growth dynamics we recorded in the residential sector. In 2017 we sold 1,427 units – 54% more than in 2016. Thanks to this result, Echo Investment has entered 9th position on the list of biggest residential developers in Poland. This brings us closer to the strategic goal of becoming the market leader.

Building our future, in 2017 we have acquired plots for over 120,000 sqm of apartments and 240,000 sqm of offices at similar prices as the average prices of the historical land plots we own. A significant part of it will be designed for 'destination' projects. Such projects allow us to reach a better land price, use the resources optimally and generate the effect of scale.

A low level of indebtedness is a positive factor that allows us to look confidently at the future of Echo Investment. It provides us with great comfort when choosing the optimal sources of project financing. Last year we continued cooperation with major Polishbanks in terms of lending and we placed over PLN 600 mln in listed corporate bonds sold to individual and institutional investors, which makes us one of the largest issuers of corporate bonds in Poland. In February 2018 the Management Board adopted a resolution on launching another PLN 400 mln bond programme for individual investors.

I encourage you to read our report in detail. Yours sincerely,

Nicklas Lindberg President of Echo Investment

The fair values of financial instruments do not differ significantly from their carrying amounts.

NOTE 27

On 19 December 2017, the Central Anticorruption Bureau (CBA) seized Przemysław Krych, a member of Echo Investment's supervisory board, and Mikołaj Martynuska, a management board member.

The Company is not a party to the proceedings, hence has no access to the files of the proceeding. According to public releases, both individuals are charged with transferring a donation by Echo Investment to the Foundation for Disabled People. The donation is allegedly linked with the Company's efforts to be able to carry on its development project on the construction site in Cracow, where Cracovia hotel is located. The building is under conservatory protection. These efforts were unsuccessful. The Company has not completed any project on the site. The scope ofconservatory protection has been unchanged. After five years of fruitless efforts, in December 2016, the Company eventually sold the property to the State Treasury (Ministry of Culture and National Heritage), recording a loss.

Echo Investment Group takes good care of relationships with its clients, business partners, and contractors, as well as with other stakeholders. As a socially responsible entity, for many years the Company has been involved in charitable events, supported community campaigns, sponsored various events and activities of organizations working for people in need or for local communities. The Foundation for Disabled People is one of many entities which, in recent years, Echo has helped to fulfill animportant mission, what was described in details i.a. in the Management Report for 2017.

Echo Investment declares a full cooperation with the authorities to clarify the situation as soon as possible. In order to protect the company's interest, both Przemysław Krych and Mikołaj Martynuska, immediately after the detention, have resigned from all the positions in the company. At the same time, they issued a statement in which they declared they had not committed the offence they are charged with and that they will prove their innocence in the proceedings.

The ongoing proceedings have no impact on the Company's current activities, including any of its other projects. The company runs its usual business. In the opinion of the management board, the situation doesn't threaten stability nor credibility of the Company and its Group and does not affect, in any way, these financial statements.

Published standards and interpretations which are not effective yet and have not been adopted by the company

04

In these financial statements the Company did not opt for earlier application of the following published standards, interpretations or amendments to existing standards before their effective date:

1. IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'

(published on 24 July 2014) applicable to annual periods beginning on 1 January 2018 or later.

IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' and it contains requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. The new requirements have been in force since 1 January 2018. The Company decided to apply the classification, measurement and impairment rules retrospectively by adjusting the opening balance as at 1 January 2018, without adjusting the comparative periods.

The new IFRS 9 standard replaces the four categories of classification of financial assets which are included in IAS 39 with three categories i.e. in accordance with IFRS 9 such financial instruments may be classified as measured at fair value (through profit or loss or other comprehensive income) or as measured at amortized cost.

The classification of assets takes place at the moment of initial recognition. It depends on the financial instruments management model adopted by the entity and analyzes of the characteristics of contractual cash flows from these instruments. Most of the requirements of IAS 39 concerning the classification and measurement of financial liabilities have been transferred to IFRS 9 in an unchanged form. The key change is the requirement for entities to present the effects of changes in own credit risk from financial liabilities designated for measurement at fair value through profit or loss in the 'Other comprehensive income' item. In accordance with IFRS 9 all modifications of financial liabilities that do not result in their removal from the balance sheet are recognized in correspondence including the profit and loss account.

The standard also introduces a new approach to impairment estimation, which is based on the determination of expected loss in comparison with the loss model required by IAS 39. Furthermore, the standard contains new guidelines on hedge accounting, aimed at simplifying the current solutions and a better reflection of risk management principles.

FINANCIAL ASSETS – CLASSIFICATION AND VALUATION

After assessing the financial assets held by the Company in terms of their classification and measurement, in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9, the Company assessed that the majority of assets so far recognized as loans and receivables will continue to be measured at amortized cost as both conditions are met for them: assets are maintained as part of the business model whose purpose is to maintain assets in order to obtain flows resulting from the contract; and, the contractual terms of these financial assets give rise, at specified times, to cash flows that are solely repayment of principal and interest on the unpaid part of the capital. Other financial assets, including derivative instruments, will be measured at fair value through profit or loss unless an irrevocable decision to include them at fair value through 'Other comprehensive income' is made for the given financial capital instruments.

As at 31 December 2017 the Company has equity instruments (shares) that are qualified under IAS 39 as 'Financial assets available for sale'. In accordance with IFRS 9, in the case of stocks and shares other than shares and interests in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures the Company may irrevocably choose to recognize them at their fair value through 'Other comprehensive income' as at the date of implementation of IFRS 9. If the Company chooses to recognize equity instruments at fair value through 'Other comprehensive income', the result from fair value measurement will be recognized in 'Other comprehensive income' and in the case of sales, the profit/loss will not be reclassified to the profit and loss account. The company decided to apply such a method of valuation for all capital financial instruments recognized as 'Financial assets available for sale' as at 31 December 2017.

Impairment

The new impairment model will apply to financial assets classified, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9, as financial assets assessed at amortized cost or to fair value through other comprehensive income, except for equity instruments. In accordance with IFRS 9, as at each reporting date, the entity estimates the amount of the impairment loss in the amount equal to the expected credit losses:

  • − until the end of the expected maturity period (the so-called life) of a given financial asset if the credit risk related to a given instrument has significantly increased since the initial recognition of that instrument; or
  • − in the next 12 months if the credit risk related to a given instrument has not significantly increased since the initial recognition of a given instrument.

While determining the future expected impairment, the entity considers all reasonable and confirmed information, including those that relate to the future. The Company will apply the permitted simplification of measurement of impairment on the basis of expected losses over the whole life for all trade receivables, lease receivables and contracts with customers.

The Company is also an issuer of guaranties and sureties, which are presented in note 18, including loans guarantees and sureties. Currently the Company is confirming if the revaluation of result of guarantees and sureties granted, based on the expected loss model, will have a material impact on this financial statement.

The Company assessed the impact of the implementation of IFRS 9, at this moment, on the value of the impairment write-down as unimportant, therefore the Company does not expect it not make a numerical correction of the opening balance 2018 resulting from the implementation of IFRS 9, and the implementation of IFRS 9 will have no numerical impact on the financial statements which will be published in 2018. The Company expects that the implementation of IFRS 9 will affect the scope of disclosures and presentations regarding financial instruments in the financial statements.

Financial liabilities

As a result of implementing the requirements of IFRS 9, the Company does not anticipate changes in the classification of financial liabilities in relation to the previous classification in accordance with IAS 39, which could have a significant impact on the balance sheet and/or the financial result of the Company. Furthermore, the Company analyzed its financial liabilities in terms of their modifications until the implementation of IFRS 9 and did not identify significant cases requiring recognition of a one-off result on modification of these liabilities as at the date of implementation.

Hedge accounting

Due to the fact that the Company did not apply and does not apply hedge accounting, the entry of IFRS 9 into force does not affect the financial statements of the Company.

2. IFRS 15 'Revenues from contracts with customers'

(published on 28 May 2014), including amendments to IFRS 15. Date of entry of IFRS 15 into force (published on 11 September 2015) – applicable to the annual periods beginning on 1 January 2018 or later.

3. Explanation to IFRS 15 'Revenue from contracts with customers'

(published on 12 April 2016) – applicable to annual periods beginning on 1 January 2018 or later.

IFRS 15 'Revenues from contracts with customers' replaces the existing standards of IAS 18 'Revenues',IAS 11 'Construction Contracts' and interpretations related to these standards. The new revenue recognition model required by IFRS 15 applies to all contracts with customers, except for those that fall within the scope of other IFRS (for example leases, insurance and financial instruments). The effective date of the new standard is 1 January 2018.

The company will begin to apply IFRS 15 and apply a modified approach retrospectively, which results in the aggregation of the effect of applying IFRS 15 as an adjustment to the initial balance of retained earnings in the annual reporting period including the first application date (i.e. 1 January 2018). Under this method, the Company will apply a retrospective approach only to contracts that are not completed as at the date of first application.

Due to the nature of its operations, the entity has separated areas covered by the analysis by grouping contracts with the same commercial purpose (in particular broken down into individual goods or services promised in contracts).

Identification at the level of contract revenue recognition:

REVENUES RELATED TO PROPERTY DEVELOP-MENT (I.E. SALE OF HOUSING UNITS)

The Company recognizes revenues when the obligation to perform the service is fulfilled. The obligation to perform the service is considered fulfilled when control over the goods or services being its subject has been transferred onto the customer (at the moment of signing the notarial deed which transfers the control to the buyer). Agreements included in this group of revenues do not include variable remuneration. Moreover, in the Company's opinion, the concluded agreements do not contain a significant element of financing. The Company incurs additional costs of concluding the contract – these costs arise at the moment of signing the notarial deed which transfers the control over the unit to the purchaser. These costs are recognized by the Company as part of the profit and loss account at the time the revenue is recognized. The analysis of IFRS 15 does not result in the separation of new contractual obligations other than those previously identified in the application of the existing accounting policy.

In the opinion of the Management Board, the principles applied so far comply with the guidelines of IFRS 15 in terms of the moment and amount of revenue recognized.

REVENUES FROM THE SALE OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

The Company recognizes the types and numbers of services to which it has committed for the benefit of the buyer under the contract for the sale of real estate, including rent guarantees. As part of the sale of investment properties, the Company recognizes revenue when the obligation to perform the service is fulfilled, i.e. when the notarial deed is signed, which is the moment when the control over the property is transferred to the buyer. The Company recognizes the amount of revenue in the amount of the price resulting from the transaction specified in the contract between the entity and the buyer. Its level is determined at the fair value, taking into account the amount of future liabilities resulting from the economic content of the concluded contract. The variable element occurring in this type of contracts (due to its dependence on future events) is the amount concerning rental guarantee. Despite the uncertainty, the Company is able to reliably estimate the cost that it will have to incur on account of the vacant

space in the building in the period specified in the contract at the moment of conclusion of the contract. The Company recognizes the remuneration due to the customer as a reduction of the transaction price, and thus a decrease in revenues – unless the remuneration is due to the customer in return for separate goods or services. The Company recognizes additional costs of concluding a sales agreement as an element of the profit and loss account at the moment of recognizing the revenue from the sale of an asset. The analysis of IFRS 15 does not result in the separation of new contractual obligations other than those previously identified as part of the application of the existing accounting policy.

In the opinion of the Management Board, the principles applied so far comply with the guidelines of IFRS 15 in terms of the moment and amount of revenue recognized.

REVENUES RELATED TO PROPERTY RENTAL

Implementation of IFRS 15 does not affect the recognition of rental income. These revenues are still recognized in accordance with IAS 17 'Leases' until the introduction of IFRS 16 'Leases' (i.e. 1 January 2019).

OTHER REVENUES REALIZED BY THE COMPANY

The Management Board analyzed the other contracts for the provision of services, including real estate intermediation services, accounting services, legal, management, marketing and consulting. The Company recognizes the revenue when the obligation to perform the service is fulfilled, i.e. for certain contracts – at the time of completion of a given type of service (e.g. signing a real estate sale contract as a result of the real estate intermediation service) or during the provision of a given type of service (e.g. period of provision of bookkeeping services, marketing services, consultancy, legal and property management). For some contracts (e.g. real estate intermediation) the remuneration resulting from concluded contracts contains a variable element, however, the nature of these contracts shows that the Company is entitled to remuneration only when the contractual obligation is fulfilled, which results in the fact that the variable remuneration is known at the moment of recognizing revenue and its value is not changed later. Moreover, in the Company's opinion, the concluded agreements do not contain a significant element of financing. The analysis of IFRS 15 does not result in the separation of new contractual obligations other than those previously identified as part of the application of the existing accounting policy.

In the opinion of the Management Board, the principles applied so far comply with the guidelines of IFRS 15 in terms of the moment and amount of revenue recognized..

Based on the above analysis, the Company concludes that the implementation of IFRS 15 will not have a numerical impact on the financial statements in the period ended on 31 December 2018. Nevertheless, as a result of the implementation of IFRS 15, the Company expects an expanded scope of disclosures and presentation of information related to the recognition of revenues in of its financial statements which will be published in 2018. Furthermore, starting from 1 January 2018, the Company made changes to the relevant accounting processes and policies in order to reflect the requirements contained in the 5-step model required by IFRS 15.

4. IFRS 16 'Leases'

(published on 13 January 2016) – applicable to annual periods beginning on 1 January 2019 or later.

IFRS 16 'Leases' replaces the existing leasing arrangements including IAS 17, IFRIC 4, SIC 15 and SIC 27.

IFRS 16 introduces a single lease recognition model to the lessee requiring recognition of assets and liabilities for all lease transactions (unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the asset is of low value) and depreciation of the asset leased separately from interest on the lease liability in the profit and loss account. The lessor's approach remains essentially unchanged compared to the solutions in IAS 17. The classification of leasing as operational or financial is still required. The standard also introduces a new model of assessment whether the concluded contracts constitute leasing introducing the criteria for identifying the asset being the subject of the contract and when the right to control the use of a given asset is transferred.

The Company made a preliminary assessment of the expected impact of the implementation of IFRS 16 on its consolidated financial statements. It shows that the application of the new standard will have an impact on the recognition, presentation, measurement and disclosure of relevant assets and liabilities resulting from operating leases (primarily car leasing and perpetual usufruct of land) concluded in the financial statements. The company is in the process of a detailed analysis of the impact of the implementation of IFRS 16 on the financial statements. The company plans to implement IFRS 16 on 1 January 2019 using a modified retrospective approach and a standard that results in the recognition of equity adjustments.

Effects of changing the principles of accounting used – transformations of financial statements for previous periods

In 2017 the Company made presentation changes in its separate profit and loss account. The changes result from the application of the updated methodology of assigning costs related to development projects, previously allocated to the 'General & administrative expenses' and 'Costs of sales'.

In connection with the above change, the following presentation changes have been made in these separate financial statements in comparison to the separate financial statements for the period ended on 31 December 2016:

  • − Change in the allocation of costs related to the remuneration of employees employed as part of construction teams, project managers and leasing managers, presented so far in the cost of sales line. With regard to the costs related to the residential projects being implemented (incurred during their implementation – before the facility was put into operation) – a change was made consisting in capitalization of these costs in the value of inventories because these costs are part of the definition of the so-called costs of processing inventories as defined in IAS 2.
  • − Change in the allocation of costs related to the remuneration of employees supporting the operational activity of the Company (including employees of accounting,financial and marketing departments) and administrative costs related to employees (the so-called human resource costs). These costs, due to their indirect connection with the implementation of development projects, have been transferred from the general & administrative expenses to the newly created line in the profit and loss account 'Administrative costs related to projects'. The lack of capitalization of these costs in the value of inventories results from the fact that they are not incurred in order to bring inventories to their current status and place, and

are not in line with the definition of production costs of investment property under construction. − Change in the presentation of some marketing costs, previously presented in the cost of sales line and as part of the cost of sales. Due to the indirect relationship of these costs with the implementation of development projects, they were reclassified to the newly created line in the profit and loss account 'Administrative costs associated with project implementation'. The lack of capitalization of these costs in the value of inventories results from the fact that they are not incurred in order to bring inventories to their current status and place.

− Change in the presentation of costs related to the maintenance of inventories, presented so far in the line of general & administrative expenses. Due to the indirect relationship of these costs with the implementation of development projects, they were reclassified to the newly created line in the profit and loss account 'Administrative costs associated with project implementation'. The lack of capitalization of these costs in the value of inventories results from the fact that they are not incurred in order to bring inventories to their current status and place. The comparative data in these financial statements have been transformed accordingly.

The change made it possible to determine the level of costs related to the implementation of development projects in more detail. It affects the balance sheet items and the result, which is presented below.

Major changes in the comparable data for 2016:

Methodology

6.1. Main accounting principles

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets are recognised, if it is likely that they will result in economic benefits directly attributable to these assets in the future. Intangible assets are initially recognised at the purchase price or the manufacturing cost. After the initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at the purchase price or the manufacturing cost, less amortisation and impairment losses.

Straight line amortisation of intangible assets is applied over the expected useful life of intangible assets, which is verified on a quarterly basis. The estimated useful lives of assets are:

  • − for permits, patents, licenses etc. 2 years,
  • − for other items 2 years.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment, if certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is disclosed in the amount by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds the recoverable value.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment include the Company's tangible assets.

The Company's tangible assets include:

  • − property (not leased and not intended for trading) used by the Company,
  • − machinery and equipment,
  • − means of transport,
  • − other complete and usable items with an expected useful life of more than one year.

PP&E is measured and presented in the statement at the purchase price or the manufacturing cost, less depreciation and impairment losses.

Land held by the Company is not depreciated and other PP&E is depreciated using straight line method over their estimated useful life, which is verified on a quarterly basis. The estimated useful lives of assets are:

  • − for buildings and structures 22 to 67 years,
  • − for machines and equipment 2 to 5 years,
  • − for means of transport 1.5 to 10 years,
  • − for other equipment 5 years

Further expenditures are recognised at the carrying value of a PP&E item or recognised as a separate tangible asset (where appropriate) only when it is probable that this item will result in economic benefits for the Company and the cost of a given item can be credibly measured. Any other expenditures on repairs and maintenance are recognised in the profit and loss account in the financial year in which they were incurred. PP&E is tested for impairment, if certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

An impairment loss is disclosed in the amount by which the carrying value of an asset (or a cash-generating item to which an asset is related) exceeds the recoverable value, and is recognised in the profit and loss account. The recoverable value is one of the two amounts, whichever is higher: fair value less selling costs or use value.

Profits and losses on the disposal of PP&E which constitute differences between sales revenue and the carrying value of a sold PP&E item are recognised in the profit and loss account under other operating revenue/costs.

LEASE

Lease is classified as finance lease, if the terms of the agreement essentially transfer all potential benefits and risks from holding an ownership title to an asset to the lessee.

Operating lease is a lease arrangement where a significant portion of risks and benefits from the ownership title rests with the lessor (the financing party). Operating lease payments are recognised as costs (if the Company is a lessee) or as revenue (if the Company is a lessor) in the profit and loss account, using the straight line method for the duration of the lease agreement.

Benefits received by the lessee and benefits due as incentive to conclude an operating lease agreement are recognised in the profit and loss account, using the straight-line method for the duration of the lease agreement. When the nature of the contract indicates that the lease payments will be accrued progressively for the duration of the agreement, the annual payments are depreciated with the straight line method.

INTERESTS AND SHARES IN SUBSIDIARIES, JOINTLY CONTROLLED ENTITIES AND ASSOCIATES

Stocks and shares in subsidiaries, co-subsidiaries and associates, presented at purchase price adjusted for subsequent impairment losses. The impairment test is carried out when there are indications that the carrying amount of the investment will not be recovered. The Company analyzes the net assets of the companies in which it holds shares because the main asset of these units is investment real estate measured at fair value while the largest item of liabilities are tied loans and therefore the net asset value reflects the fair value of shareholding. In the case of impairment, the write-down is recognized in the profit and loss account in the financial costs item. The impairment loss is recognized in the amount by which the balance sheet value exceeds the recoverable amount. If the write-down is reversed, its value is recognized in the financial income item.

Subsidiaries are the entities controlled by the Company. Executing control over subsidiaries occurs in following cases:

  • − management over indicated entity,
  • − undergoing exposition for changeable returns or possessing rights to changeable returns due to its involvement in indicated entity,
  • − possibility to execute power to influence on generated returns.

The Company verifies executing control over other entities if any circumstances indicating change of one or more conditions listed above appears.

Interests and shares in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates are presented at the purchase price adjusted for subsequent impairment losses. An impairment test is conducted when there are indications that the carrying value of an investment will not be recovered. The Company analyses the value of net assets of companies in which it holds interests because the main asset ofthese entities is investment property measured at fair value, while the main liability are special purpose loans and, consequently, the net value of assets reflects the fair value of the held interests. In the event of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account under "financial cost".

The impairment loss is recognised in the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the recoverable value. If the impairment loss is reversed, its value is recognised under financial revenue.

Associated companies are the units which the Company has a significant influence on yet are not subsidiaries or shares in joint enterprises of the Company. A significant influence is the ability to participate in decision making regarding financial and operational policies of the business but it does not involve control or co-control of the policy.

INVENTORIES

The following items are recognised under inventories: semi-finished products, work-in-progress, finished products and goods. Given the specific nature of business, the purchased land or the incurred fees due to perpetual usufruct of land are classified as "work-in-progress" – if the land is intended for development and resale, or as "goods" – if the land is intended for sale. "Work-in-progress" also includes the incurred expenditures related to the process of implementing projects for sale (design services, construction works etc., performed by external contractors). "Finished products" include mainly completed residential and commercial developments sold under final agreements.

Inventories of current assets are measured at the purchase price of land and at the manufacturing costs of products in the property development business, plus capitalised financial costs, but not exceeding the net realisable value. This value is obtained based on information from the active market. An inventory write-off is reversed due to the sale of an inventory item or increase in the net selling price. Inventory write-offs disclosed in the period as cost and reversals of inventory write-downs disclosed in the period as a decrease of costs are presented in the profit and loss account under 'cost of sales'.

The 'finished goods' item includes completed apartments earmarked for sale. The 'intermediates and products in progress' item mostly includes properties held by the Company and the expenditure on residential projects under preparation or constructions. The 'goods' item includes the land earmarked for sale.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company classifies its financial assets and liabilities as follows:

  • − items of financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value through the profit and loss account,
  • − financial assets held for trade. A financial asset is included in this category, if it is purchased primarily for short-term sale,
  • − financial assets designated at initial recognition as measured at the fair value through the profit and loss account,
  • − derivatives which do not fulfil the criteria for hedge accounting,
  • − investments held to maturity
  • − borrowings and receivables,
  • − financial assets available for sale,
  • − non-derivative financial assets not classified as financial assets disclosed at the fair value through the profit and loss account, borrowings and receivables, and assets held to maturity.

Assets are entered into the books as of the transaction date and cancelled from the balance sheet when the contractual rights to cash flows from a financial asset expire, or when a financial asset is transferred along with all risks and benefits resulting from that asset.

FINANCIAL ASSETS DISCLOSED AT THE FAIR VALUE THROUGH THE PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT

These assets are classified as current assets, if they are intended for trade or are expected to be recovered within 12 months from the balance sheet date. In this category, the Company includes investments in securities.

As of the initial recognition and as of the balance sheet date, financial assets are measured at the fair value through the profit and loss account.

DERIVATIVES

Derivative instruments are recognised in the books when the Company becomes a party to a binding agreement. The Company uses derivatives to mitigate the FX or interest rate risk. The Company does not apply hedge accounting.

As of the balance sheet date, derivatives are measured at their fair value. Derivatives with a positive fair value are financial assets, while derivatives with a negative fair value are financial liabilities.

Profit or loss on derivatives is recognised in financial revenue or costs respectively, while in the cash flow statement, it is recognised as cash flow from operating activity, if the purchase leads to the recognition of an asset in the Company's balance sheet.

LOANS GRANTED, TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

Loans granted, trade receivables and other receivables constituting financial assets are included in the 'Loans and receivables' category. Purchased bonds, loans granted, trade receivables and other receivables constituting financial assets are initially recognized at fair value (increased by transaction costs if they occurred) and then they are measured at amortized cost, reducing them by impairment writedowns. The value of receivables is updated taking into account the probability of their payment by making a write-down. Write-downs adjusting trade receivables and other receivables are created at the end of each quarter, when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to receive all amounts due arising from the original terms of receivables. Premises indicating that the receivables lost value include: serious financial problems of the debtor or delays in repayments. The amount of the provision is the difference between the balance value of a given receivable and the current value of estimated future cash flows related to it discounted by the original effective interest rate. The amount of the loss is recognized in the profit and loss account under the 'other operating expense' item. Subsequent repayment of previously written-down receivables is recognized in the 'other operating income' item in the profit and loss account. Advance payments for deliveries are valued at cash expended and according to received VAT invoices documenting the advance payment.

HELD FOR SALE

Financial assets available for sale are entered into the books as of the transaction date and cancelled from the balance sheet when the contractual rights to cash flows from a financial asset expire, or when a financial asset is transferred along with all risks and benefits resulting from that asset. As of the day of entry into the books, these assets are measured at the fair value plus transaction costs, while as of the balance sheet date, they are measured at the fair value, taking account of impairment losses recognised in the income statement. Profits or losses from movements in the fair value of an asset are recognised in other comprehensive income. Writedowns on financial assets are recognised at the end of every quarter, if there is objective evidence that the Company will not receive all amounts due under the original terms of the assets. Assets available for sale include shares and interests in companies which are not subsidiaries and associates, are not quoted on an active market, and which comprise shortterm or long-term assets. Where it is not possible to determine their fair value, the assets are measured at the purchase price, less impairment losses, and the effects of the measurement are recognised in the financial profit or loss.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash in bank and cash in hand, short-term deposits held to maturity and other financial assets that fulfil the definition of a cash equivalent are measured at the nominal value. Foreign currency cash is measured as of the reporting date. The same definition of cash applies to the cash flow statement.

According to the Company, the financial resources of limited disposability mostly include funds constituting security for bank guarantees and funds accumulated on open residential fiduciary accounts.

FINANCIAL GUARANTEE AGREEMENTS

Financial guarantees are recognised as financial instruments. These agreements are initially recognised at the fair value (equal to a received bonus or estimated using measurement techniques) and, subsequently, at one of the two values, whichever is higher:

  • − amount of provision determined based on the estimated probable expenditure necessary to settle a liability under a guarantee agreement;
  • − initial value less amortisation/depreciation.

In addition, financial guarantee agreements are disclosed in off-balance sheet liabilities and receivables. On every balance sheet date, the Company verifies whether a payment and the creation of a provision are likely

INCOME TAX

Income tax on the profit or loss for the financial year includes current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognised in the profit and loss account, except for amounts related to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income; in this case, income tax is disclosed in equity and other comprehensive income respectively.

The current portion of income tax is the expected amount of tax on taxable income for a given year, calculated based on the tax rates determined as of the balance sheet date along with any tax adjustments for previous years. Deferred tax is calculated with the balance sheet method as tax to be paid or reimbursed in the future on the differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax values used to calculate the tax base, except for temporary differences which arise at the time of initial recognition of an asset or liability, and do not affect the accounting or tax result.

Deferred tax is not created for temporary differences on investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates, if the Company controls the reversal of these differences and they will not be reversed in foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets due to tax loss are created, if the settlement of the loss in the following years is probable. For the calculation of deferred income tax, a tax rate is used which will apply in the reporting periods in which assets will be settled or liabilities will be released.

Deferred income tax is estimated on every balance sheet date by recognising differences in the profit and loss account, other comprehensive income or equity, depending where the temporary difference from which the deferred tax is subtracted was recognised. Assets and provisions on deferred income tax are presented jointly.

EQUITY

Share capital is measured at the nominal value disclosed in the National Court Register.

Differences between the fair value of a payment and the nominal value of shares are recognised in the share premium. The issue costs of shares decrease the Company's supplementary capital down to the amount of the share premium.

PROVISIONS

Provisions are established when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and when it is probable that the fulfilment of that obligation will involve an outflow of assets representing economic benefits and the amount of such obligation can be credibly estimated. Provisions are measured at the current value of costs estimated by the Company's management according to its best knowledge which must be incurred to settle a current liability as of the balance sheet date.

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES – INCLUDING TRADE LIABILITIES

Financial liabilities include loans, borrowings, debt securities, not payable interest on bank loans accounted for according to the accrual principle as well as the discount of debt securities to be settled in subsequent accounting periods. Foreign currency loans are measured at the selling rate of the bank serving the Company.

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at the fair value less costs of transaction and subsequently measured with the method "amortised cost of a liability", according to IAS 39. Measurement takes account of the risk and the possibility of an early repayment of long-term liabilities.

Trade liabilities are initially measured at the fair value and, subsequently, long-term liabilities are measured at the amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. When the difference between the amortised cost value and the value in the amount payable does not significantly affect the Company's financial results, such liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet at the amount payable. Advances on deliveries include invoiced advances (including advances on apartments) and non-invoiced advances. Trade liabilities include security deposits.

CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions denominated in currencies other than PLN are converted into Polish zloty using the exchange rate applicable for the transaction.

As at the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than PLN are converted into Polish zlotys using the average exchange rate established for the given currency at the end of the reporting period by the National Bank of Poland. Foreign exchange differences arising from the conversion are recognized in the financial income (expense) or, in the case of accounting policies, capitalized in the value of the assets. Non-monetary assets and liabilities disclosed at historical cost expressed in a foreign currency are presented at the historical exchange rate of the transaction date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities recognized at fair value expressed in foreign currency are converted at the exchange rate from the valuation date to the fair value. Gains or losses arising from the conversion of non-monetary assets and liabilities at fair value are recognized in the statement of income or loss on account of changes in fair value (i.e. respectively, in other total income or in profit or loss subject to where the change of fair value is recognized).

CASH FLOW STATEMENT

The cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method. Liabilities due to overdraft facilities are presented as debt due to loan and not as cash equivalents.

VALUATION TO FAIR VALUE

The Company valuates financial instruments, such as available-for-sale instruments and derivative instruments, as well as non-financial assets, such as investment properties, at fair value as at each balance sheet date. Fair value is understood as the price that would have been received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a transaction carried out on the ordinary terms of selling an asset between market participants as at the valuation date under current market conditions. The fair value measurement is based on the assumption that the transaction of sale of an asset or liability transfer takes place on the main market available for the given asset or liability, or in the absence of the main market, on the most advantageous market for a given asset or liability.

The fair value of an asset or liability is measured assuming that market participants act in their best economic interest when determining the price of an asset or liability.

The fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account the market participant's ability to generate economic benefits through the greatest possible and best use of the asset or its disposal to another market participant that would ensure the greatest possible and best use of the asset.

The company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate to the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, with the maximum use of appropriate observable input data and the minimum use of unobservable input data. All assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value or the fair value of which is disclosed in the financial statements are classified in the fair value hierarchy as described below, based on the lowest level of input data, which is significant for the fair value measurement taken as a whole:

  • − Level 1 Quoted (unadjusted) market prices on an active market for identical assets or liabilities,
  • − Level 2 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level of input data, which is significant for the fair value measurement as a whole, is directly or indirectly observable,
  • − Level 3 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level of input data, which is significant for the fair value measurement as a whole, is unobservable.

At each balance sheet date, in the case of assets and liabilities occurring at particular balance sheet dates in the financial statements, the Company assesses whether transfers took place between levels of the hierarchy by reassessing the classification to individual levels, guided by the relevance of input data from the lowest level that is significant for the valuation to fair value treated as a whole.

SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company does not seperate segments according to IFRS 8, paragraph 4. This information is presented in the consolidated financial statements of the Echo Investment Capital Group.

NET PROFIT PER SHARE

The net profit per share for each period is calculated by dividing the net profit for a given period attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent entity by the weighted average number of shares issued during the period.

6.2. Methods of determining the financial result

The financial result is determined using the calculation method.

REVENUE

Revenue from the sale of goods and products is disclosed at the fair value of the received or due payment, less rebates, discounts and taxes on the sale, and recognised at the moment of the delivery of goods and products and the transfer of risks and benefits from the ownership title to the goods and products to the buyer, and when the amount of revenue can be credibly determined. In particular, revenue from the sale of residential and commercial premises constructed by the Company is recognised according to IAS 18 and IFRIC 15 at the time of the transfer of the ownership title to these premises in a sale agreement, after the development is completed and the right to use the premises has been acquired.

Revenue from the lease of residential and commercial areas is recognised on a straight line basis for the duration of the concluded agreements.

Revenue from legal, consulting, IT, financial, marketing, security and other sales services is recognised in the period in which such services were provided.

COST OF SALES

Manufacturing costs of goods, products and services sold include the incurred costs related to revenue for the financial year and the costs accrued but not yet incurred. The costs of goods and products sold are measured at the manufacturing costs, using strict identification of actual costs of the sold assets or the percentage share, e.g.: of the sold land, interests etc. In particular, the prime cost of the sold premises and land is determined proportionately to their share in the overall construction cost of an object and in the whole land comprising a project.

The cost of goods and products sold is measured at the level of production costs, using the method of detailed identification of the actual costs of assets sold or the percentage share of e.g. land or shares sold, etc. In particular, the self-cost of premises and land sold is determined in proportion to their participation in the entire construction cost of a given facility and in the whole land constituting a given project. Detailed identification of costs related to employees' remuneration, recognized as part of the cost of sales, is made on the basis of time worked by employees, divided into individual projects.

ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS RELATED TO PROJECTS

Project-related administrative costs include the administrative costs which are indirectly related to the execution of development projects such as: perpetual usufruct fees, real property taxes, operating fees, property protection, administrative staff's remuneration, employee maintenance costs in the portion attributable to the project, and other stock maintenance related costs.

These costs, despite their indirect connection with development projects, are not capitalized in the value of inventory / investment property because:

  • − in the light of IAS 2, they are excluded from the purchase price or cost of stock production as they are not incurred in order to bring the stock to its current status and location;
  • − IAS 40 in relations to IAS 16, does not allow to capitalize general and administrative costs in the value of investment properties.

EXTERNAL FINANCING COSTS

Borrowing costs related to the current period are recognized in the profit and loss account, except for costs subject to activation in accordance with IAS 23. The Group applies the part of financial costs which are directly related to the acquisition and recovery of assets that require a longer period of preparation for their intended use or sale as inventories and projects started. Activation covers the amount of financial costs determined using the effective interest rate minus income received from temporary depositing of cash (i.e. interest on bank deposits with the exception of deposits resulting from the blocking of accounts, accreditation agreements) in the case of targeted financing for a given construction project. In the case of general financing, the general financing costs subject to capitalization are determined using the capitalization rate in relation to the expenditures incurred for a given asset component.

INVENTORIES

Inventories: semi-finished products and work in progress, finished goods and goods. Owing to the specific nature of the activity, land purchased or fees incurred for the right of perpetual usufruct of land are classified as work in progress – if the land is to be developed for further resale, or as goods – if the land is for sale. Work in progress also covers the costs associated with the implementation of projects for sale, such as expenditure on:

  • − design services, construction work, etc. provided by third parties,
  • − salaries of employees employed in construction teams, project managers and leasing managers.

Detailed identification of costs related to employee salaries, which is included in the cost of goods sold, is made on the basis of the employee's time records, broken down into individual projects.

Finished products mainly include residential and service units completed and sold on the basis of final contracts. The stock of property, plant and equipment are measured at the cost of acquisition of land property and the cost of product manufacture, increased by the activated financial costs incurred but no higher than the net realizable value. This value is derived from information from the active market. Reversal of stock write-offs takes place in connection with the sale of the stock or an increase in the net sales price. The amount of stock write-offs recognized as a cost and the reversals of write-offs decreasing the value of stock included in the period are recorded in the 'cost of goods sold' item. Stock disposals are accounted for using the method of detailed identification of their purchase prices and production costs.

Material estimates of the company's management board

The preparation of the financial statements requires the Management Board of the Company to adopt certain assumptions and make estimates and judgments that affect the figures disclosed in the financial statements. Assumptions and estimates are based on the best knowledge of current and future events and activities, however, actual results may differ from those anticipated. Estimates and related assumptions are subject to ongoing verification. Change in accounting estimates is recognized in the period in which they were changed – if it concerns only this period, or in the current and future period – if the changes concern both the current and future period.

The main fields in which the Management Board's estimates have a material impact on the financial statements and key sources of uncertainty as at the balance sheet date are:

INVENTORIES

When estimating the write-down on inventory held by the Company as of the balance sheet date, information from the active market regarding the expected sales prices and current market trends as well as information from preliminary sales agreements concluded by the Company is analysed. Assumptions used when calculating the write-down mainly relate to market prices of property applicable in a given market segment.

According to the Management Board, a change of these assumptions would not materially affect the value of the inventory write-down as of the balance sheet date because the adopted assumptions and information on the value of the write-down were largely based on the concluded sales agreements. In the case of land recognised under inventories, the value of the write-downs results from the usefulness of land for the Company's current and prospective business estimated by the Management Board.

IMPAIRMENT OF INTERESTS IN SUB-SIDIARIES, JOINTLY CONTROLLED ENTITIES AND ASSOCIATES

An impairment test is conducted when there are indications that the carrying value of an investment will not be recovered. The assessment of the impairment of interests in subsidiaries, jointly-controlled and associated companies is based on an analysis of the fair value of assets and liabilities held by the companies and the expected prospective cash flows from the operations of such companies. In the course of the assessment, the Company also evaluates the duration and extent to which the current value of the shares is lower than its purchase price and a company's perspectives and plans for its investment developments. All material impairments of the fair value of assets in subsidiaries have been regarded to be long-term by the Management Board and have resulted in impairment losses on interests in subsidiaries. In particular, for material subsidiaries which, as at 31 December 2017, did not run any material operating activity, the value of the recognised write-downs corresponds to the total difference between the net value of the subsidiary's assets and the purchase price of the interests.

When calculating the impairment of interests, shares and funds held in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities, the Company refers to the net value of the these companies' assets and takes into consideration the cash flow generated by investment properties held by these companies.

ASSET FROM DEFERRED INCOME TAX

The Company recognizes deferred tax asset based on the assumption that tax profit will be achieved in the future and it will be possible to use it. This assumption would be unjustified if the tax results deteriorated in the future.

The Management Board verifies the adopted estimates regarding the probability of recovering deferred tax assets based on changes in factors taken into account when making them, new information and past experience. Detailed information on deferred tax assets is presented in note 7.

UNCERTAINTY CONNECTED WITH TAX SETTLEMENTS

The regulations concerning the tax on goods and services, corporation tax and social security charges are subject to frequent changes.

These frequent changes lead to the absence of relevant benchmarks, inconsistent interpretations and a few established precedents that might be applicable. Existing regulations also contain ambiguities that cause differences in opinions as to the legal interpretation of the tax legislation, between state authorities as well as state bodies and businesses.

Tax settlements and other areas of activity (for example customs or foreign exchange) may be subject to inspection by the authorities that are entitled to impose high penalties and fines as well as any additional tax liability resulting from checks must be paid with a high interest. These conditions make the tax risk in Poland higher than in the countries with more mature tax systems.

Consequently, the amounts presented and disclosed in the financial statements may change in the future as a result of the final decision of the tax auditing authority.

On 15 July 2016 changes were introduced to the Tax Code in order to reflect the provisions of the General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR). GAAR is designed to prevent the creation and use of artificial legal structures developed in order to avoid paying taxes in Poland. GAAR defines tax evasion as an act primarily for the purpose of obtaining a tax advantage, contradictory in given circumstances to the subject matter and purpose of the provisions of the tax law. According to GAAR, an operation like that does not result in a tax advantage if the mode of operation was artificial.

Any occurrence of:

  • − unreasonable division of operations,
  • − involvement of intermediaries despite the lack of economic or economic justification,
  • − elements that are mutually abrasive or compensatory and

  • − any other actions of similar effect to the aforementioned,

  • − may be treated as a premise of the existence of artificial operations subject to GAAR regulations.

The new regulations will require much greater judgment when assessing tax consequences of individual transactions. The GAAR clause should apply to transactions closed after it enters into force and to transactions that were closed before the GAAR clause entered into force, for which advantages were or still are being achieved after the date of the clause's entry into force. The implementation of the above provisions will allow Polish tax authorities to question the legal arrangements and agreements such as restructuring and reorganization of the group.

Financial risk management

08

PRICE RISK

The price risk is not material. The Company does not trade in securities on any active market. The Company may conclude transactions on derivatives to hedge against the FX risk related to the forecast cash flows.

RISK OF CHANGES IN CASH FLOWS AND FAIR VALUE RELATED TO INTER-EST RATE

The Company's exposure to the interest rate risk is related to financial assets and liabilities, in particular the granted borrowings, cash, the received bank loans and the issued bonds. Borrowings, loans and bonds bearing a variable interest rate expose the Company to the interest rate risk, while borrowings and loans with a fixed interest rate expose the Company to variations of the fair value of financial instruments. In addition, the Company is exposed to the risk of interest rate variations when raising a new loan or refinancing an existing long-term debt.

The Company granted loans in PLN with a variable interest rate dependent on WIBOR + margin. If on 31 December

2017, interest rates had been higher or lower by 1 percentage point that current interest rates, the Company's net profit would have been higher or lower by PLN 266,200 thousand on account of higher or lower interest on loans granted in PLN.

FX RISK

As of the balance sheet date and during the financial year, the Company did not hold any other material foreign currency cash. Therefore, the risk has been estimated as not material and no analysis has been performed of the exposure of other balance sheet items to changing foreign exchange rates.

CREDIT RISK

The credit risk occurs in cash, borrowings granted, derivatives, deposits in banks and financial institutions as well as, in relation to the Company's customers and tenants, in the form of unsettled amounts due. The Company has procedures in place to protect the credit worthiness of its customers and tenants; security deposits and guarantees are also used for tenants. There is no significant concentration of risk in relation to any of the Company's customers outside the Echo Investment Group. In relation to related entities, the credit risk, in the opinion of the Management Board, is minimised through regular monitoring of operating

activities and the assessment of investment projects of these companies. For cash and deposits in financial institutions and in banks, the Company uses the services of renowned companies.

LIQUIDITY RISK

The liquidity risk occurs when the Company is unable to settle its financial liabilities in due time. The Company manages the liquidity risk by maintaining an adequate amount of supplementary capital, using bank services and reserve loan facilities, and by constantly monitoring the forecast and actual cash flows. Given the dynamic nature of its business, the Company ensures flexible funding through the availability of cash and by diversifying the sources of funding. In the opinion of the Management Board, the Company has sufficient cash to settle all liabilities in due time. In the long term, the liquidity risk is minimised by the available bank loans. At any time, the Company may use sufficient funds from the loan facilities granted by banks. The analyses of the Company's financial liabilities and derivatives settled in the net amount which will be settled at specific maturities, based on the period remaining until the contractual maturity as of the balance sheet date, have been presented in the respective notes: loans, borrowings, debt securities, trade receivables and trade liabilities.

Capital risk management

09

The Company's objective in terms of capital management is to protect the Company's ability to continue its business, allowing for the generation of returns for the shareholders, and to maintain an optimal structure of capital to reduce its cost. When managing this risk, the Company makes decisions on the financial leverage, the dividend policy, the issue of new shares, the repurchase and subsequent redemption or resale of the issued shares, or the sale of assets to reduce debt. The Company monitors the capital using debt ratios. This ratio is calculated as the relation between net debt and total equity. The net debt is calculated as the sum of loans and borrowings (including current and long-term loans and borrowings disclosed in the balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. The total value of capital is calculated as equity disclosed in the balance sheet along with the net debt.

REMUNERATION OF MEMBERS OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

Members of the Management Board receive remuneration and bonuses in accordance with the remuneration model described in the 'Work Rules of the Management Board' adopted by the Supervisory Board in a resolution of 21 March 2013. The bonus system is based on an agreement in accordance with the MBO methodology (Management by Objectives) and it is related to the company's results. Each Member of the Management Board may receive an annual bonus expressed in a multiple of the basic salary, depending on the key business objectives which he/she has an influence on in the scope of their responsibili ty. At the same time, all Members of the Management Board have common goals, the execution of which below the expected level will result in a reduction of the bonus. The amount of remuneration and bonuses of Management Board Members is confirmed by a resolution of the Supervisory Board every time.

In 2017, in addition to the specific objectives set for each Member of the Management Board in accordance with their scope of responsibility, the Supervisory Board established four joint objectives for the Management Board, the implementation of which will determine the amount of the bonus:

  • − development of a system of finishing and equipment standards for development projects,
  • − implementation of superior standards and safety procedures at construction sites,
  • − implementation of the project finishing standard and post-sales support,
  • − development strategy for selected multifunctional projects.

In 2017 and as at 31 December 2017, there were no agreements between the Company and its managerial staff providing for a compensation if such persons resign or are dismissed from their position without a valid reason or if they are recalled or dismissed as a result of a merger of the Company by acquisition.
