Dear Shareholders, Partners and Clients,

Message from CEO

In Q2 2019, Echo Investment generated over PLN 36 million net profit, that was due primarily to the increase in the value of projects under construction. The result was also driven by apartments handed over to clients, rents received from the lease of office space in O3 Business Campus III in Krakow and Moje Miejsce I in Warsaw, as well as rents from in Libero in Katowice.

Multifunctional 'destination' projects

Echo Investment is focused on developing multifunctional, 'destination' complex projects, new parts of cities attracting people to live in, work and spend their free time. This part of the business today amounts up to ca. 42% of the total sqm of projects under construction and projects in the pipeline. Today, the ongoing 'destination' projects are Warsaw Brewery and Fuzja in Łódź. In Warsaw Brewery we are getting close to the end of construction works, so we devote a lot of attention to the central part of the project – the squares, a brewery inside the project, restaurants in the historical cellars creating a food hall and the greenery that will not only facilitate meeting places in the project but also create a new meeting points in Warsaw. Shortly we will show you both the excellent concept of developing this area, as well as the first restaurant operators and their ideas for new, attractive formats. That is an exciting moment in this project, and I can't wait for hearing your opinion.

These projects are possible only by putting together all the competences within the company and experience to create urban destinations where the inhabitants of the cities can live, work and entertain.

Residential

We have entered the most intense period for the residential department when the vast majority of this year's housing projects will be commissioned and handed over to clients. In the first half of the year, we handed over the keys to 77 apartments. In July and August, it was 153 units, while the full-year goal is to book the revenues and profits from the handover of approximately 1,250 apartments. We are well on our way to achieving this goal but the coming months are crucial as we are handing over 1000 apartments to clients. We have strengthened the organisation to be able to deliver high quality that Echo Investment stands for.

Thanks to the gradual extension of the offer we can maintain high sales dynamics. Since the beginning of the year, we have signed on average 100 sale contracts per month. By the end of August, we sold 810 units, so the annual sales target of 1,300 premises is within reach. That will mean over 30% growth compared to 2018. We are introducing new, attractive projects, such as the second stage of Nasze Jeżyce in Poznań, Stacja 3.0 at Mińska street in Wrocław, or Stacja Wola at Ordona street in Warsaw. However, we still have an appetite for increasing our market share to be in line with our target of 2,000 units sold by 2020 as communicated earlier.

Considering the development of the residential business, from the beginning of 2019, Echo Investment purchased land in Kraków, Wrocław, Poznań and Warsaw, where approximately 76,000 sqm of apartments will be developed. Additionally we secured land by preliminary contracts that will extend our landbank by 160,000 sq m of apartments. One of the most significant acquisition is a plot near Domaniewska, Wołoska and Postępu streets in Warsaw, which we are taking over from the Immofinanz group. This shows our determination to achieve a better and better position on the market.

Resi4Rent

The Resi4Rent platform is growing. At the end of this year it will have two completed projects in Wrocław and Lodz with 513 apartments in total. A couple of days ago, we received an occupancy permit for the first project Rychtalska in Wrocław. Apartments are currently being fitted out and equipped with furniture an soon the intensive lease process will be started. We can see a big interest from potential tenants to rent the apartments. By the end of this year, the platform will also receive an occupancy permit for the Wodna project in Łódź, while at the beginning of 2020 - for the second project in Wrocław - Kępa Mieszczańska at Dmowskiego street.

Resi4Rent has a landbank secured for ca. 3,300 apartments to be started and completed by 2022. Additional plots for 1,800 apartments are under negotiations. We are now also working hard to secure more land to hit our target of 7500 apartments under operation/construction by 2024.

In the first half of the year, the platform started construction of two projects in Warsaw at Taśmowa and Woronicza streets, which will offer 600 units in total. In the third quarter, it began construction of a project in Gdańsk, and plans to start another project in Poznań in September.

Office

At the end of the second quarter of 2019, Echo Investment held office buildings under construction with a total leasable area of 140,000 sqm. A big part of the space under construction is either leased or under advanced negotiations.

In May, the construction of the first office building of Moje Miejsce in Warsaw was completed and the construction of the second phase of this complex was started. The construction of the React office building in Łódź started in the same month. Construction of Midpoint 71 in Wrocław and the office building in Gdańsk at Nowomiejska street is planned to start by the end of the year

In Katowice, as scheduled, two phases of the Face-2Face complex with 47,000 sqm of lease area are being developed. At the same time, agreements with key tenants are signed, including Medicover, Orange or Perform DAZN. The first building of the complex is already 77 % leased, while the second in 42% and the remaining space are under advanced negotiations with tenants.

The office buildings developed by Echo Investment are gaining the trust of banks. In April, Bank Pekao signed a loan agreement with Echo Investment for the construction of the Villa Offices and the Malthouse Offices. The loan amounts to EUR 87 million. Bank Millennium granted over EUR 20 million loan for the construction of West 4 Business Hub in Wrocław. In the third quarter of 2019, BNP Paribas Bank Polska granted Echo Investment over EUR 19 million loan for the construction of the React office building in Łódź. These agreements confirm the quality of Echo Investment's projects and the trust of the financing institutions.

Retail

In H1 2019, the most significant event for retail department was the opening of Galeria Młociny in Warsaw. Only for the first four days, it was visited by over 220,000 guests. It is fully leased by great retail brands that have prepared refreshed or completely new concepts of their stores. Exceptional eight-meter-high shopfronts, located on the first floor, allow for product display unprecedented in Warsaw. A magnet for clients is the restaurant and entertainment zone, that occupies about 6,000 sqm of space on the top floor. The international retail chain Primark also confirmed its presence in Galeria Młociny. The store at Galeria Młociny will be their first location in Poland. The chain has leased 5,700 sqm (of which 3,700 to be retail space), the premises have already been taken over and fitting-out works are already in progress. I am convinced, that Primark store will be a great anchor tenant, increasing Galeria Młociny attractiveness and supporting footfall and turnover for all retailers. In the third quarter, nearly 40 brands opened their stores at Galeria Młociny, including Forever, New Balance and Lee Cooper, while the food court enriched its offer with Japanese cuisine of the Menya Musahi restaurant. With the unique mix between food&beverage and entertainment on the top floor of the center combined with offices and retail we are sure this is in line with future retail destinations.

Financial standing

Echo Investment enjoys a very stable financial situation and a low net asset-to-debt ratio, which as at June 30, 2019, was at 28%. The value of assets under construction steadily increases: in the second quarter it was 21% higher than in the corresponding period of 2018. At the same time, the value of housing projects increased by 63%. The Group maintains a high cash balance: at the end of June 2019, we had PLN 302 million on our accounts.

The stable and continuous growth of our business is one of the pillars of our development strategy. Since the beginning of the year Echo has acquired 109,200 sqm of the buildable land at the value of almost 40 mln EUR that will secure the future growth of the company.

I encourage you to study in detail our financial report for the first half of 2019.

Yours sincerely

Nicklas Lindberg CEO of Echo Investment

The Company intends to share profit in the form of regular dividends.

STRATEGY OF ECHO INVESTMENT

It is the strongest economy and real estate market in the Central and Eastern Europe. Echo Investment, which has been operating on this market for two decades, knows perfectly its potential, background and principles of functioning. This is why the Company will focus on running projects in the most important Polish cities, which are at the same time the most attractive and liquid real estate markets: Warsaw, Tricity, Poznań, Katowice, Wrocław, Cracow and Łódź.

Echo Investment is one of the biggest real estate development companies operating in Poland. The Company is active in three sectors: office, retail and residential. In accordance with the strategy of profitable growth, Echo Investment is going to be one of the leaders in each of the three sectors. This is going to translate into optimum use of resources and adequately large scale of activity.

DEVELOPMENT

The focus of the adopted strategy model is on development activities, which include land acquisition, construction, lease, active management to increase the market value and then sale of finished project in optimal time for the possible return ratio, capital management, market expectations and trends. Commercial and residential properties under construction constitute majority of the group's assets.

DESTINATION PROJECTS

Many years of experience in three real estate sectors gives Echo Investment a competitive advantage resulting from skills to develop large, multi-functional and destination projects.

The Management Board of Echo Investment S.A. is responsible for the overall risk management, in cooperation with the Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee.

The main goal of the Risk Management Policy is to provide sustainable and stable economic growth of the Group and to promote a proactive approach to reporting, estimating and managing risks related to the Group's operations. The Risk Management Policy formalises and presents in a structured manner the approach to risk management in the Echo Investment Group expected by the Management Board.

Works related to updating the existing risk management procedures in the Echo Investment Group to the guidelines of the Risk Management Policy were started in the second quarter of 2019 and will be continued in 2019 and 2020.

The purchase price was EUR 40,3 million plus VAT tax, which amount accounted for a reduction by the value of certain fit-out works remaining to be completed within the tenants' areas as stated in the signed lease agreements, the value of technical defects; and the value of transaction costs. Echo Investment may obtain additional payments related to the completion of fit-out works within the tenants' areas and with the removal of technical defects in the total amount of nearly EUR 7 million plus VAT.

O3 Business Campus III occupies an area of 18.9 thousand square meters and is currently 73 percent leased. Its office space is inter alia occupied by the Polish operator of serviced offices City Space, the Lux Med medical centre and EPAM Systems Poland. Recently, additional leasing contracts were signed with Danish Crown (1,725 sqm) and Mota Engil (2,725 sqm). Talks about additional rentals are in the advanced stage.

The sale of the O3 Business Campus III office location is the result of a preliminary agreement signed in 2016 in which EPP purchased 7 office buildings from Echo Investment with a total lease area of 112 thousand square meters. Two of the three buildings in the O3 Business Campus became part of EPP's portfolio in 2016 and 2017.

7.1 Residential market in Poland

In the second quarter of 2019, the demand and the supply keep on an even keel in six largest Polish cities, while the number of apartments sold and put up for sale was lower than recorded in the first quarter. From April to June 2019, according to JLL, developers have sold less than 15,000 apartments. The number of units sold exceeded the number of units put up for sale by only about 200 units. Due to the high demand with limited supply, prices of apartments showed an upward trend. In the second quarter of this year process increased by approximately 2.9% compared to the prices recorded in the first quarter.

Over the past three years, the average number of residential units put up for sale quarterly was around 16,500, while in the second quarter of 2019 it amounted to 14,900, which means that a deviation from the average value amounted to 10%. However, this result is very similar to the number of apartments launched for sale in the second quarter of 2018, when approximately 15,400 apartments were launched for sale. From April to June 2019, the activity of developers varied widely depending on the city. The largest increase in activity occurred in Wrocław and Łódź, where approximately 35% more units were marketed than in the first quarter of 2019. This is another quarter of significant increases in the capital of Lower Silesia. The offer was supplemented with a similar number of apartments as in the first quarter in Warsaw (-0.2%) and the Tri-City (3.4%). After a large increase in the number of apartments offered in Kraków and Poznań at the beginning of the year, the second quarter surprised with large drops in newly started projects. In Kraków, 44% fewer premises were launched, while in Poznań - 65% fewer. In total, in the last four quarters, the supply in the six largest Polish cities amounted to 66,000 apartments and was by 4,200 units bigger than the demand.

In quarterly terms, the average prices of apartments offered by developers increased by approximately 2%. However, there were large differences between individual markets. The most important increases were recorded in Kraków (5.7%) and in the Tri-City (3.4%), while the prices remained unchanged in Poznań and Łódź. Annual increases in Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław and the Tri-City range from 11.1% to 11.6%, while in Łódź and Poznań amount from 6% to 3.4%.

The decrease in the number of apartments sold in the second quarter of 2019 was 8.4% compared to the first quarter. After a relatively weak beginning of the year in the Tri-City and Wrocław, sales in these cities returned to levels recorded in 2018. On the other hand, sales in all other markets dropped: in Warsaw by 14.5%, in Kraków by 21.5%, in Łódź by 22.2% and in Poznań by 18%. In total, in the last four quarters, developers sold 62,400 apartments in six largest agglomerations.

7.2 Echo Investment's activities in the sector of apartments for sale

Echo Investment sold 641 apartments in the first half of 2019 - 16% more than in the first half of 2018. The developer sold the most units in Warsaw (Moje Miejsce and Reset), Łódź (Osiedle Jarzębinowe and Fuzja) and Poznań (Apartamenty Esencja and Osiedle Jaśminowe ). In July and August, sales remained at a good, stable level. In total, in the first eight months, sales of apartments in Echo Investment amounted to 810 units. Throughout the year, the company intends to sell approximately 1,300 apartments, which will mean over 30% growth compared to 2018.

Nearly 1,000 Echo Investment's apartments were put up for sale in the first six months of the year. It includes projects: Apartments Esencja and Nasze Jeżyce I in Poznań, Fuzja and Osiedle Jarzębinowe VII in Łódź and Stacja 3.0 in Wrocław. By the end of the year, it is planned to start five more projects with nearly 1,100 apartments.

From the beginning of the year to the end of June, Echo Investment handed over 77 apartments to clients, while by the end of August - 230 apartments. In the first half of the year, two projects received occupancy permits: Dom pod Wilga III in Kraków and Osiedle Perspektywa II in Poznań. In total, they offer over 150 apartments. As scheduled, most residential projects will receive occupancy permits in the second half of the year, which means that the vast majority of handovers will also occur then. As early as in the third quarter, Nowa Dzielnica and Osiedle Jarzębinowe V in Łódź, Rydla 32 in Kraków and Zebra in Wrocław received a permit for use, with a total of 560 units. Until the end of the year, projects with around 630 apartments will get their occupancy permits, including Warsaw Brewery. This year's plan of handovers assumes around 1,250 apartments, which will mean about 35% dynamics compared to 2018.

Considering the development of the residential business, from the beginning of 2019, Echo Investment purchased land in Kraków, Wrocław, Poznań and Warsaw, where approximately 77,000 sqm of apartments will be developed. A significant part of plots of land secured by preliminary contracts is also intended for residential purposes. This is, among others a plot near Domaniewska, Wołoska and Postępu streets in Warsaw, which the company takes over from the Immofinanz group.

To successfully maintain competitive advantages, Echo Investment has established cooperation with suppliers of modern residential management solutions. Responding to the needs of customers, the developer equips each apartment with the heart of the remote management system for access, temperature, lightening and other functions. It also responds to new social and communication needs of city residents by planning so-called life-services. In cooperation with Samsung Electronics, the company created the first showroom presenting the possibilities of a smart home in the Warsaw Brewery project.

8.1. Office market in Poland

Warsaw

After a benign first quarter of 2019, the market strongly accelerated in the second quarter and, as predicted by analysts, a significant growth in demand for office space took place. It reached a record level on a quarterly basis and amounted to 266,000 sqm. The biggest lease contracts signed concerned space for Getin Noble Bank and Warta. Both companies leased more than 30,000 sqm in total.

The vacancy rate dropped to 8.5%. It should be highlighted that this rate is definitely lower in the city centre and amounted to 5.6%. The strong demand resulted in noticeable reduction in incentives for tenants with stable rents at EUR 23-24 per 1 sqm per month in the centre and around EUR 15.5-16 outside the centre of Warsaw.

Due to very high-demand activity, developers are not slowing down. In the first half of the year, they completed a total of 80,500 sqm of office space. The largest new facility was the Moje Miejsce office building by Echo Investment located in Mokotów. Currently, about 780,000 sqm are under construction. Most of these projects (approximately 70%) are located in the city centre and in Wola district.

Regional markets

In the biggest six cities, the amount of office space put into service in the second quarter of 2019 was similar to the amount reached in the first quarter, i.e. 113,000 sqm. In total, 235,000 sqm were put into service from the beginning of the year within 24 projects. The majority of space was put into use in Kraków and Poznań. About 850,000 sqm are under construction, mainly in Wrocław, Kraków, Łódź and the Tri-City.

On the demand side, very positive data was recorded. In the second quarter, approximately 50,000 sqm were leased, more than in the first quarter of 2019: by Knight Frank analysts total demand amounted to 294,000 sqm. The vacancy rate has not changed and amounts to approximately 9.4%. There were also no changes in the level of rents, which vary depending on the city and the location between EUR 10.5 and EUR 15 per sqm per month.

8.2 Echo Investment's activities in the office sector

At the end of the second quarter of 2019, Echo Investment held office buildings under construction with a total leasable area of 140,000 sqm. In May, the construction of the first office building of Moje Miejsce in Warsaw was completed (it was the largest building put into service in the second quarter in Warsaw) and the construction of the second phase of this complex was started.

Construction of Midpoint 71 in Wrocław and the office building in Gdańsk at Nowomiejska street is planned to start by the end of the year.

In Katowice, as scheduled, two phases of the Face-2Face complex with 47,000 sqm of lease area are being developed. At the same time, agreements with key tenants are signed, including Medicover, Orange, Perform Content or DAZN. The first Face2Face building reached its target height in July. Works on facade and ventilation, electricity, plumbing and elevators are underway in the building. Negotiations with potential tenants are very promising.

The largest signed lease agreement in the first half of the year concerned nearly 11,000 sqm of space in the at the Warsaw Brewery complex. WeWork, the flexible office space network, was the tenant. Because We-Work had previously rented space in the Gatehouse Offices, this will make Warsaw Brewery one of the largest co-working spaces in Poland. The Villahouse Offices reached their target 16-storey height in the summer. The building is undergoing facade installation of and ventilation, electricity, plumbing and elevators. Talks with potential tenants for office space in Warsaw Brewery are very promising.

Further office buildings developed by Echo Investment are gaining the trust of banks. In April, Bank Pekao signed a loan agreement with Echo Investment for the construction of the Villahouse Offices and the Malthouse Offices. The loan amounts to EUR 87 million. Bank Millennium granted over EUR 20 million in loan for the construction of West 4 Business Hub in Wrocław. In the third quarter of 2019, BNP Paribas Bank Polska granted Echo Investment over EUR 19 million in loan for the construction of the React office building in Łódź.

9.1 Retail real estate market in Poland

After a quite benign beginning of the year, the retail market gathered pace in the second quarter. Developers delivered 177,000 sqm of retail space to the market at that time, including Galeria Młociny with an area of 84,800 sqm, which was developed by Echo Investment and EPP. It is worth mentioning that it is the biggest shopping centre that has been opened since 2016. The remaining part of the supply consisted of seven other facilities and expansion of existing malls.

The saturation of shopping centres in Poland, according to JLL, amounts to 265 sqm per 1,000 residents and is close to the average of Western European countries. Therefore projects prepared for construction must be distinguished by an innovative approach to the functional concept, the selection of tenants and the project. It makes this market more demanding and requires a lot of experience from investors and developers.

An important event on the retail market was an announcement that the Primark brand enters the Polish market. The first store of this popular Irish chain will be opened at Galeria Młociny. Also brands such as Sloggi, Gagliardi and Pesto Cafe are present in this facility. In addition, other brands have announced that they are

The Primark store in Birmingham. In just a few months, this Irish chain will open its first branch in Poland - at Galeria Młociny in Warsaw.

going to entry in the coming months: H&M weekend, American Urban Outfitters and H&M Monki.

Rents in retail facilities remain stable, i.e. the highest rates reached EUR 130 per sqm in Warsaw, while in regional cities rents range from EUR 40 to 60 per sqm.

9.2 Echo Investment's activities in the retail sector

In the first quarter, the retail department of Echo Investment was focused on finalising the last lease agreements and finishing works in Galeria Młociny, that was opened on 23 May. The almost fully leased facility has gathered more than 220 stores and service outlets, comfortable offices, a medical centre, children's play areas, a fitness club and nearly 50 restaurants, cafes and dining spots, as well as the first multi-screen cinema in Bielany. In line with trends in the retail space sector, approximately 20% of space of the centre has been dedicated to a non-commercial offer - services, entertainment and food court. The restaurant and entertainment space - occupying the entire +2 level and connected to the green roof garden - was designed by architects from the renowned Broadway Malyan studio. The centre was developed just next to the Młociny transport hub in one of the best transit locations in Warsaw, with easy access to the metro station, numerous tram lines and city, suburban and country bus lines, a bicycle station and a P&R car park. It is the most important transport interchange of the northern part of the city and neighbouring towns, that is used by over 24 million passengers every year. Galeria Młociny's investors are EPP (70% of shares) and Echo Investment (30% of shares). While the former manages the newly opened complex, the latter was fully responsible for the development process and leasing. Among renowned brands present in Galeria Młociny, it is worth mentioning Inditex group (Zara, Zara Home, Oysha, Massimo Duti, Bershka, Stradivarius, Pull & Bear), H&M, Van Graff, TK Maxx, C & A, CCC, Media Markt and RTV Euro AGD. Brands such as Gagliardi, Sloggi or Mayoral Premiere stores also will open their stores. The international retail chain Primark also confirmed in July its presence in Galeria Młociny. The store at Galeria Młociny will be the first location in Poland. The chain has leased 5,700 sqm (of which 3,700 to be retail space), the premises has already been taken and fitting-out works will start soon. Primark has also confirmed that it will start the recruitment process in Poland in September.

In the spring, the first cut of the spade took place on the site of the former Karol Scheibler factory at ul. Tymienieckiego in Łódź, and thus construction of Fuzja was started - another city-forming project carried out by Echo Investment. The retail department is working on the concept of commercialisation of service and restaurant spaces of this project. The first lease agreements have also been signed by future tenants of service spaces in the Warsaw Brewery project.

10.2 Echo Investment's activities on the investment market

The excellent performance of the investment market in Poland is conducive to achieving the strategic goal of Echo Investment i.e. focusing solely on development activity.

Seasonal or cyclical nature of operations

The Group's activity covers several segments of the real estate market. Accounting revenues from sale of housing developments depends on the commissioned residential buildings and revenue on these operations is generated in every quarter but it varies in terms of stability. Revenue and results from general investment contractor services, sales of commercial investments and trade in property may be irregular. Due to seasonal nature of construction process, completion of vast majority of residential projects is scheduled for the second half of a given year. Due to this fact Echo Investment hands over ready apartments to clients and also recognizes revenue and profit earned on them in third and fourth quarters, and in H1 number of apartments hand over is relatively low.

The Management Board cannot exclude other one-off events which may influence results generated in a given period.

Information on dividend

17.1 The dividend policy

On 26 April, 2017 the Management Board of Echo Investment adopted a resolution on the Company's dividend policy. The adopted dividend policy states that from the profit in 2018 and subsequent years the Management Board will be recommending the payment of the dividend up to amount of 70% of the consolidated net profit of the Capital Group attributable to shareholders of the parent company.

When recommending the dividend payment the Management Board will take into consideration the current and expected condition of the Company and the Capital Group as well as their development strategy, in particular:

  • − safe and the most effective management of debt and liquidity in the Group;
  • − investment plans resulting from the development strategy, purchase of land in particular.

Assumptions of the dividend policy were based on predictions concerning future profits from the Group's property development operations.

"The dividend policy states that from the profit in 2018 and subsequent years the Management Board recommends the payment of the dividend up to amount of 70% of the consolidated net profit"

17.2 Advance dividend from the 2018 profit

The Management Board of Echo Investment adopted on November 8, 2018 a resolution on conditional payment of the advance payment for the dividend for the accounting year 2018 to its shareholders. The total amount for the payment of the advance dividend amounted to PLN 206.3 mln, i.e. PLN 0.5 per share. The amount of the dividend payment did not exceed half of the Company's net profit from the end of the previous accounting year, increased by the reserve capital created for the purpose of further payment of dividend or advances for dividend andreduced by uncovered losses and own shares. The advance dividend was to be

paid on December 19, 2018 to those shareholders who hold shares on December 12, 2018, i.e. 7 days before the payment date. The advance dividend was paid subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board (obtained on November 15, 2018) and confirmation by the audit of the financial statements of Echo Investment S.A. for the period from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018, by an expert auditor of Ernst & Young Audyt Polska, in which the assumed net profit of the Company achieved from the end of the previous accounting year (the condition fulfilled on November 16, 2018).

Amount of advanced dividend paid from 2018 profit

Pursuant to the resolution of the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Echo Investment S.A. of 25 June 2019, the net profit achieved by the company in the completed financial year 2018 in the amount of PLN 42,431,650.15 was allocated for distribution to all shareholders on the following principles:

    1. The profit increased by the amount of PLN 163,913,640.85 from the Dividend Fund (in total PLN 206,345,291) was allocated for distribution to all shareholders of the company as the dividend.
    1. The amount of PLN 206,345,291 paid on 19 December 2018 as an advance for dividend for the financial year was credited to the dividend.

Because the dividend corresponded to the amount of dividend advance paid, the shareholders decided that the company would not pay additional funds from the profit for the financial year 2018.

The shareholders also decided that the undistributed financial result (profit) from previous years in the amount of PLN 2,243,582, created in connection with the change of the accounting policy applied by the company, the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders allocated to the Dividend Fund.

17.3 Advanced dividend from the 2019 profit

The Management Board of Echo Investment adopted on 11 September 2019 a resolution on conditional payment of the advance payment for the dividend for the accounting year 2019 to its shareholders. The total amount of the advance dividend will amount to PLN 206.3 million, i.e. PLN 0.5 per share. The amount of dividend advance payment will not exceed half of the Company's profit generated after the end of the previous financial year, as published in the financial report dated 30 June 2019 and referring to the period from 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2019, increased by a reserve capital created in order to pay dividend or an advance payment towards the

dividend and reduced by uncovered losses and value of own shares. The advance dividend is to be paid on 21 October 2019 to those shareholders who will hold shares on 14 October 2019, i.e. 7 days before the payment date. The advanced dividend will be paid subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board and the audit of the financial statements of Echo Investment S.A. for the period from 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2019, by an expert auditor of Ernst & Young Audyt Polska, in which the net profit of the Company achieved from the end of the previous accounting year is confirmed.

LIABILITIES DUE TO LOANS AND BORROWINGS [PLN '000]

The 'loans and borrowings' item presents special purpose loans and lines of credit in current accounts. The purpose credit agreements are secured by real estate mortgages, assignment of receivables resulting from lease agreements, construction agreements, policies and registered pledges on shares, accounts, belongings and rights of subsidiaries. Interest rates on loans denominated in EUR are based on the EURIBOR plus a margin. The Group uses interest rate hedging in the form of IRS instruments. The majority of IRS instruments are not self-contained but are included in loan agreements and are assessed together with loans.

Credit lines denominated in PLN are secured by blank promissory notes, declarations of submission to enforcement and powers of attorney to bank accounts. The loan interest rate is based on the WIBOR rate plus a bank's margin. According to the best information and data of the Management Boards of the Group's companies, there were no breaches of the terms of loan agreements or the agreed levels of collateral during the financial year and until the date of signing the financial statements.

In the 'debt securities' item the Group presents bonds issued. Interest on bonds is based on the WIBOR rate plus a margin.

The fair value of loans and borrowings does not differ significantly from their balance value. The fair value was determined by the income method based on the cash flows discounted by the current market interest rate. The fair value measurement was classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF THE ECHO INVESTMENT GROUP

98 Financial report of Echo Investment for H1 2019

01

Accounting principles adopted in drawing up the financial report of Echo Investment Group

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Echo Investment Group for the first half of 2019, prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', adopted for application in the European Union, for the period between 1 January 2019 and 30 June 2019.

The accounting principles presented below are applicable also to the condensed interim standalone financial statement.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group include consolidated financial data as of 30 June 2019 and comparative data as at 31 December 2018 as well as for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2018. In relation to the profit and loss account, the statement of comprehensive income there are presented consolidated financial data as for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2019, comparative data for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2018, and consol-idated financial data for the period of 3 months of the second quarter i.e. from 1 April 2019 to 30 June 2019, and comparative data from 1 April 2018 to 30 June 2018. In relations to the changes in equity and the cash flow statement there are presented consolidated financial data for the 6-months period ended 30 June 2019 and comparative data for 6-month period ended 30 June 2018.

These financial statements need to be analysed in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 prepared in line with the IFRS adopted for application in the EU.

The financial statements have been developed on the historical cost basis, save for investment properties and financial instruments measured at fair value. The financial statements have been developed on the assumption of going concern in the foreseeable future, bearing in mind the fact that there are no circumstances implying a threat to going concern.

The accounting principles applied to these interim condensed interim financial statements are consistent with the principles applied in the most recent annual financial statements and have been applied an a continuous basis to all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements, except for the application of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the IFRS Committee applicable, in the case of the Group, to the reporting period beginning on 1 January 2019. The impact of applying these changes on the presentation of data and valuation in the financial statements is described in chapter 2, item 06 "Effects of changing the accounting principles".

The profit and loss account and notes to the profit and loss account, covering data for the 3-month period ended 30 June 2019 and comparative data for the 3-month period ended 30 June 2018, have not been reviewed or audited by a certified auditor.

FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY AND CURRENCY OF PRESENTATION

Items in the financial statements of each Group's entities are presented in the main currency of the economic environment in which given subsidiary operates (functional currency).

The Group's financial statements are presented in the Polish zloty (PLN) – the presentation currency and the functional currency of the parent company.

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate effective on the transaction or measurement day when items are revalued. Gains and losses arising from the settlement of such transactions and measurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

The Group comprises entities with a functional currency other than PLN. The reporting data of those companies included in these statements have been converted to PLN in accordance with IAS 21. Balance sheet items are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet, the profit and loss account items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of cumulative effect of the rates effective on the transaction days – in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transaction days). The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and the cumulative amounts are recognised in a separate component of equity. In the moment of the foreign entity disposal, its accumulated currency differences recognised in equity are recognised in profit and loss account as profit on disposal.

INVESTMENT PROPERTIES, INVESTMENT PROP-ERTIES UNDER CONSTRACTION

Investment properties include leased real estate owned by the Group along with land directly related to the real estate and land purchased and maintained in order to increase the value.

Investment properties under construction are investments carried out by the Group and intended for rent, being under construction. The Group includes investment property under construction as investment property when available for use.

Investment property is initially recognised at purchase price / production cost. Subsequent expenditure is included in the carrying amount of the investment property or is recognised as a separate investment property (where appropriate) only when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Group from this item and the cost of the item can be measured reliably . All other expenses on repair and maintenance are referred to the statements of comprehensive income in the financial period in which they were incurred. The value of investment properties under construction includes costs that are directly related to the unfinished investment. They include expenses incurred for the purchase of land, expenditures on the design and construction of buildings (mainly external services), activated financial costs and other costs incurred during the construction directly related.

Following the initial recognition, at each balance sheet date, investment properties are stated at fair value. Fair value is updated every quarter. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of investment property are recognised in the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise. The result on the valuation of investment property is presented in the profit / loss on investment property item.

For properties under construction, for valuation reasons deemed to be fulfilled in the case of projects where a significant part of the risks associated with the construction of the construction process has been eliminated and it is possible to have a reliable fair value. In other cases, when it is not possible to reliably determine the fair value, the value of real estate under construction is valued at acquisition price or production cost less impairment losses.

The Group established the conditions, the compliance with which initiates the process of analysis, whether significant risks related to investment property under construction have been completely eliminated. These conditions most notably comprise:

  • − obtaining a building permit,
  • − contracting construction works with a value of at least 30% of the investment budget,
  • − leasing at least 20% of the implemented project.

The presented conditions constitute the boundary criteria of the analysis. Each investment property under construction is analysed individually for the possibility of obtaining a reliable fair value measurement, taking into account, in addition to the conditions described above, the general economic and market situation, the availability of data for analogous properties and expectations regarding the volatility of factors underlying the valuations and the financing method investment project.

The fair value of investment property is the price at which the property could be exchanged between well-informed, willing and unrelated parties.

The fair values of the property are subject to verification by internal Analyse Department in cooperation with the Management Board, based on transaction concluded on active market, offers, preliminary agreements, knowledge and experience or based on external valuations prepared by appraisers. As a rule, valuations of an office property in which the Group conducts an active process preparing the property for sale, are prepared internally by the Group, based on available market data, in particular the level of discount rate (yield) discussed with potential buyers and based on levels of rent and other lease conditions resulting from signed or negotiated lease agreements.

Valuations includes reserves and they are estimated by discounted cash flow method. In case of investment property under construction, the valuation is reduced by the discounted expenditure necessary to complete the investment, taking into account the developer's margin (so-called development profit). At the time of measuring the property at fair value, the Group also recognises provisions related to the property for hedging of rent-free periods, which the Group granted or expects to grant and / or for the distribution of profit (profit share), if contractual agreements assume a share in the profit on the sale of real estate other parties. Provisions for securing rent-free periods include all expected future payments related to acquiring tenants that the Group expects to economically incur, i.e. primarily costs of rent-free periods (periods with reduced rent levels), costs of arrangement work to be carried out (fitout), costs of other lease incentives for tenants and costs of agents. Recognised provisions for projects measured at fair value adjust the result recognised on the valuation of investment property presented in the item of revaluation of real estate, and for projects sold in the item profit (loss) from the sale of real estate. The values expressed in EUR and USD are converted every quarter according to the current exchange rates issued by the National Bank of Poland.

A change of property user triggers respective reclassification of the property in the financial statements. Transfer of property and disclosure thereof under property, plant and equipment is effected at the carrying value.

The result on the sale of investment property is recognised in the profit / loss on investment property item.

The Group transfers property investments to the category of assets available for sale only when a property is subject to sale outside the ordinary operating cycle, e.g. as a result of discontinuing operations in a given sector / region. This is due to the adopted strategy of the Echo Investment Group, according to which real estate is maintained by the Group and sold at the best moment, in the opinion of the Management Board, taking into account expectations regarding return on invested capital, availability of capital for other investments and also basing the decision on the market situation and expectations for its further development. The Group's goal is to build real estate and increase their value through active management of investment projects. Therefore, the Group classifies investment projects as investment properties (or investment properties under construction) and reclassifies them to assets available for sale only in rare situations.

INVENTORY

The item of inventories comprises: semi-finished products and work in process, finished products, goods and advances on deliveries. Given the nature of business, purchased land or incurred fees for perpetual usufruct of land is classified as work in process if the land is designed for development for resale or towards goods if the land is intended for sale. The work in progress includes also the expenses incurred over the process of construction of facilities and sites for sale (design services, construction works, etc. provided by external contractors). Finished products mainly include residential and business premises completed and sold under final sale contracts.

The inventories of tangible items of current assets are measured at the value corresponding to the purchase price of land and the cost of production of developers' business products increased by activated financial costs, being not higher than the net realisable value. This value is collected from information on the active market. Reversal of impairment loss of inventories appears either on the sale of inventories or due to increased net sales price. Both the amount of writedowns of inventories recognised as an expense in the period and the amount of any reversal of any writedowns decreasing the value of inventories recognised in the period as reduction in cost are stated in the profit and loss accounts under sales cost.

The value of inventories is also increased by sales bonuses / commissions for the sale of premises, which, according to IFRS 15, the Group considers as additional costs of concluding a contract. The Group accounts for the capitalization of bonuses / commissions when recognising sales revenue (see the Methods for determining the financial result section) in proportion to their share in the entire construction cost of a given facility and in the entire land constituting the given project. The Group does not capitalise traders' bonuses / commissions after the completion of the construction of a residential project based on the simplification provided for in IFRS 15, point 94 and recognises these costs when incurred.

Methods of determining the financial result

The financial result is determined using the calculation method.

REVENUE

The amount of revenues corresponds to the value of consideration stated in contracts with clients, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. In accordance with IFRS 15, the Company recognises revenues when the obligation is fulfilled (or in the course of fulfilling) by transferring a promised goods or services (i.e. an asset) to a customer. The asset is transferred when the customer obtains control of that asset.

After fulfilling (or in the course of fulfilling) obligations, the entity recognises an amount equal to a transaction price as income, which has been assigned to that performance obligation. To determine the transaction price, the entity shall consider the terms of the contract and its usual commercial practices. The transaction price is the amount of remuneration that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example, certain sales taxes). The remuneration specified in the contract with the client may include fixed amounts, variable amounts or both.

Revenue from the sale of residential and service premises are recognised on the date of handover of real estate to the buyer. This occurs on the basis of the acceptance protocol signed by the parties providing only after completion of the construction of real estate and receiving the occupancy permit on condition that the buyer will pay 100% towards the purchase price of real estate.

Paid apartments are also considered to be cases of minor underpayments (up to PLN 500), larger underpayments, which the Company decides not to collect from customers, or in the event of receivables from tenant changes, which, according to arrangements, are payable later than the moment of handover of the premises.

Revenues from the rental of residential and commercial space are recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the contracts concluded.

Revenue from other contracts for the provision of services (legal, consulting, IT, financial, marketing, security and other services) is recognised by the Company when the performance obligation is met.

COST OF SALES

Costs of goods, products and services sold consist of costs incurred in respect of revenues of a given financial year and overheads not yet incurred.

The cost of goods and products sold is measured at the production cost, using the method of detailed identification of the actual cost of assets sold or the percentage share e.g. of the land or shares sold, etc. In particular, the cost of sales of premises and land sold is determined proportionally to their share in the total cost of construction of the facility and the entire land constituting a given project.

ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS RELATED TO PROJECTS

Administrative costs related to projects include administrative costs indirectly related to the implementation of development projects which include: land perpetual usufruct tax, real estate tax, maintenance fees, property protection, administrative staff remuneration costs and maintenance costs of employees responsible for construction of projects in the part where cannot be assigned to a specific project or they relate to projects completed and other costs related to the maintenance of development projects. The costs of remuneration of employees responsible for project construction, in part in which they can be assigned to a specific project during construction, are capitalised in the value of the project. Costs are allocated on the basis of working hours reported by employees.

These costs, despite an indirect connection with the construction of development projects, are not capitalised in the value of inventories/investment properties, because:

  • − in light of IAS 2, these costs are excluded from the purchase price or the cost of inventories due to the fact that they are not incurred in order to bring inventories to their current status and place;
  • − IAS 40, which refers in this respect to the provisions of IAS 16, does not permit capitalisation of administrative and general management costs in the value of investment property. .

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.

In accordance with the requirements of IAS 23, the Company begins to activate financial costs when the Company undertakes actions necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use or sale. These activities involve more than just activities related to its physical construction. They also include technical and administrative work prior to commencing physical construction, such as activities related to obtaining necessary permits, design and preparatory works. However, such activities do not include the holding of an asset when no production or development that changes the asset's condition is taking place.

Estimates of the Management Board of the Echo Investment Group

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 assump-tions are subject to ongoing verification. Change in accounting estimates is recognised 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:

INVESTMENT PROPERTIES / INVEST-MENT PROPERTIES UNDER CON-STRUCTION / ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

Investment real estate includes facilities leased to clients by companies which are part of the Group. The fair value of investment real estate is classified at level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between the levels.

The fair value of real estate properties which are almost 100% commercialized and generate a fixed income is determined by the unit according to the income method, using simple capitalization

After a change in the strategy of the Echo Investment Group, the Group most often measures properties at fair value during construction and / or commercialisation. The property valuation is based on the income method using the discounted cash flow technique, which takes into account future proceeds from rent (including rent guarantees), the sale of real estate and other expenditure to be incurred. The yield used to determine residual values recognized in cash flows result from the Management Board's estimates based on preliminary agreements for the sale of real estate, letters of intent, external valuations of appraisers or their familiarity with the market. The rates used also take into account the risk, and the level of risk is assessed individually for each property subject to its status.

The fair value of real estate properties which are almost 100% commercialised and generate a fixed income is determined by the unit according to the income method, using simple capitalization technique as the quotient of the project's net operating income (NOI) and the yield, or using the value resulting from external valuation, a preliminary contract for the sale of real estate, a letter of intent or a purchase offer, provided they exist.

According to valuations prepared by the Group, the value of investment properties as at 30 June 2019 amounted to PLN 832,784 thousand and consisted of retail building Libero in Katowice valued at fair value (PLN 604,506 thousand) Moje Miejsce I office building in Warsaw (PL 187,193 thousand) and other real estate (PLN 41,085 thousand).

As at 30 June 2019 the capitalization rate used to estimate the value of the buildings measured using the income method, amounted to 6.50%-6.75%.

As at 31 December 2018, the value of investment property amounted to PLN 1,007,716 thousand and consisted of office buildings valued at fair value (PLN 1,001,599 thousand) and other real estate (PLN 6,117 thousand). The capitalization rate used to estimate the value of the office buildings as at 31 December 2018 was 5.25% to 7.15%, while for the building of the retail sector - 6.50%.

As at 30 June 2018, the value of investment properties amounted to PLN 148,749 thousand and consisted of an office building measured at fair value (PLN 142,632 thousand) and other real estate (PLN 6,117 thousand). The capitalization rate used to estimate the value of the office building as at 30 June 2018, measured using the income method, amounted 5.75% – 7.50%.

The value of investment properties under construction as 30 at June 2019 amounted PLN 1,118,253 thousand and consisted of real estate valued at fair value (PLN 639,339 thousand) and real estate valued at the value of expenditure incurred (PLN 478,914 thousand).

The capitalization rates used to estimate the value of property valued using the income method were: for office properAs at 31 December 2018, the value of investment property under construction amounted to PLN 940,427 thousand and consisted of real estate measured at fair value (PLN 404,203 thousand) and real estate valued at the value of expenditure incurred (PLN 536,224 thousand). Capitalization rates used to estimate the value of office properties valued using the income method were 5.50% to 7.25%.

As at June 30, 2018, the value of investment properties under construction was PLN 1,129,178 thousand and consisted of real estate measured at fair value (PLN 587,895 thousand) and real estate measured at the value of incurred expenses (PLN 541,283 thousand). Capitalization rates used to estimate the value of real estate measured using the income method were: for office real estate from 5.75% to 7.5%, while for buildings from the retail sector - 6.5%.

Under the 'assets held for sale' item the Group presents the properties with reference to which a decision was made to sell them within 12 months. This item includes completed projects as well as ongoing projects and investment plots. As at 31 December 2019, the value of assets held for sale was PLN 191,569 thousand and consisted of investment land (PLN 19,017 thousand) and office building (PLN 172,551 thousand) measured at the fair value. As at 31 December 2018, the value of assets held for sale was PLN 13,500 thousand and consisted of investment land. As at 30 June 2018, the value of assets held for sale amounted to PLN 395,415 thousand and consisted of office buildings (PLN 346,384 thousand) valued at the fair value and investment land (PLN 49,031 thousand).

SECURING REVENUE FOR RENT-FREE PERIODS (MASTER LEASE)

When an investment property is selling, it occurs that buildings are not fully commercialized at the time of sale. The price is calculated based on the project's projected revenue (NOI) while the Group signs a contract securing the rent-free periods (master lease).

Securing rental proceeds (master lease) is estimated on the basis of information obtained from the office project leasing team, accepted by the Member of the Management Board responsible for this segment of activity, concerning:

  • − terms of signed lease agreements,
  • − assumptions for vacant areas, such as expected transfer dates, estimates of rent rates and rental holidays.

The following is calculated on this basis:

  • − for vacancies: the rent that would be paid by the potential future tenant,
  • − for signed contracts: rental holidays (if any).

The estimate is made from the balance sheet date for the period of securing rental proceeds. In each calculated month:

  • − if a vacancy is expected on an area in a given month, the cost of securing rental revenue is a full rent which is provided for on this area;
  • − if it is expected that a given area will be transferred and the tenant has a rental holiday, the cost of securing the rental proceeds related to this area in a given month is equal to the value of rental holidays;
  • − if it is expected that the tenants' rental holidays are over in a given month, the cost of securing the rental proceeds is equal to zero.

The basic rent and the maintenance fees are calculated in this way, the exception being that there are no rental holidays on maintenance fees.

The total of these values discounted as at the balance sheet date is the value of the reserve for securing rent-free periods (master lease).

The reserve for securing rent-free periods (master lease) is calculated for projects sold and projects valued using the income method. Therefore, the first reserve for a master lease is created together with the first valuation of the project at fair value.

As at 30 June 2019 the value of provisions established to secure rent free periods amounted to PLN 147,061 thousand. As at 31 December 2018, the value of reserves established to secure rent free periods amounted to PLN 119,913 thousand. As at 30 June 2018, the value of reserves established to secure rent free periods amounted to PLN 92,017 thousand.

PROFIT SHARE FROM SALE OF REAL ESTATE

A profit share is a share in the minority investor's profit. It results from concluded agreements according to which the investor is obliged to pay the capital constituting a share in the investment. The capital is contributed to the entities which perform the project in the form of a loan or an issue participating bonds. At the time of the sale of the project, the capital is returned to the investor along with due profit share (calculated as the sale price costs). The provision for the profit share is estimated for projects valued using the income method in proportion to the released profit on real estate. Therefore, the first provision for the profit share is created along with the first valuation of the project at fair value.

As at 30 June 2018, the value of provision for costs on account of the profit share from the sale of real estate amounted to PLN 98 789 thousand.

As at 31 December 2018, the value of provision for costs on account of the profit share from the sale of real estate amounted to PLN 97 443 thousand.

As at 30 June 2018, the value of provision for costs on account of the profit share from the sale of real estate amounted to PLN 82,967 thousand.

INVENTORY

When estimating the amount of the writedown revaluating the net inventories as at the balance sheet date, information from the active market is analysed regarding expected sales prices and current market trends as well as information resulting from preliminary sales contracts concluded by the Group.

Assumptions used in the calculation of the write-down are mainly based on valid market prices of real estate in a given market segment. In the case of land included in the item of inventories, the value of writedowns results from the suitability of the given land for the needs of the current and future oper-ations of the Group estimated by the Management. Data regarding writedowns updating the value of inventories to the net value possible to obtain and reversing write-downs on this account are presented in note 6.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS VALUED ACCORDING TO FAIR VALUE

The fair value of financial instruments (located in the fair value hierarchy level 2) that are not traded on the active market is determined using valuation techniques (the income method). The Company is guided by the judgment in the selection of valuation methods and it adopts assumptions based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. In particular, concluded forward contracts and concluded option agreements are valued on the basis of valuations provided by banks, which use such data as current exchange rates, their historical volatility and interest rates on deposits (WIBOR, EURIBOR) when calculating them.

As at 30 June 2019, the Capital Group did not change the valuation principles for financial instruments, there were no changes in the classification or movements between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

ASSET FROM DEFERRED INCOME TAX

The Group 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 de-ferred tax assets based on changes in factors taken into account when making them, new information and past experience.

LEASES

The adaption and application of IFRS 16 required the Company to make various estimates and to engage in professional judgment. The main area in which it happened concerning the assessment of lease periods, in agreements for an indefinite period and in agreements for which the Company was entitled to extend the agreement. When determining a lease period, the Company had to consider all facts and circumstances, including the existence of economic incentives to use or not to extend the agreement and any termination option. The Company also estimated the discount rate used in the calculation of the lease liability - as a riskfree rate increased by the characteristic margin for the given asset to which the lease relates.

Application of new and amended standards and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee

The following standards and changes in standards became effective on 1 January 2019:

IFRIC 23 Uncertainty related to income tax recognition

The interpretation explains how to recognise and measure income tax in accordance with IAS 12 if there is uncertainty about its recognition. It does not apply to taxes or fees that do not fall within the scope of IAS 12, or it does not cover interest and penalty requirements related to the uncertain recognition of income tax. The interpretation applies in particular to:

  • − separate consideration of uncertain tax treatment by the entity;
  • − assumptions made by the entity concerning the inspection of tax treatment by tax authorities;
  • − how the entity determines taxable income (tax loss), the tax base, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates;
  • − how the entity the entity reflects changes in facts and circumstances.

The entity must determine whether it considers each uncertain tax treatment separately or in combination with one or more other uncertain tax treatment. The approach, which better provides for resolution of uncertainty, should be followed. The interpretation has no significant impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the Company and its Group. Amendments to IFRS 9 Contracts with prepayment features with negative compensation

In accordance with IFRS 9, a debt instrument may be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other total income, provided that contractual cash flows are only the principal repayments and interest on the outstanding principal amount (the SPPI criterion) and the instrument is held under the appropriate business model for this classification. Amendments to IFRS 9 specify that a financial asset meets the SPPI criterion regardless of any event or circumstance that cause early termination of the contract and regardless of which party pays or receives reasonable compensation for early termination.

The amendments do not have a significant impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the Company and its Group.

Amendments to IAS 19 Plan amendments, curtailments, and settlements

The amendments to IAS 19 specify that in the event of the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement in the annual reporting period, the entity is obligated to determine current service cost for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement, using actuarial assumptions used to remeasure the net defined benefit liability (asset) that reflects the plan benefits and the plan assets after the event.

The entity is also obligated to determine net interest for the remainder of the period following the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement using the defined benefit obligation (asset) reflecting the plan benefits and the plan assets after that event, and the discount rate used for remeasurement of net liability (asset) for the defined benefits.

The amendments do not have a significant impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the Company and its Group.

Amendments to IAS 28 Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures

The amendments specify that the entity applies IFRS 9 to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture to which the equity method is not applied, but as a rule they form part of the entity's net investment in the associate or joint venture (long-term interests). This explanation is important because it suggests that the expected credit loss model in IFRS 9 is applied to such long-term interests.

The amendments also specify that when applying IFRS 9, an entity does not take into account losses of an associate or joint venture or any losses due to impairment of net investment in the associate or joint venture that result from the application of IAS 28 Investments in associates.

The amendments do not have a significant impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the Company and the Group.

Amendments resulting from the review of IFRS 2015-2017:

IFRS 3 Business combinations

The amendments explain that when an entity gains control over the entity that is a joint operation, it applies the requirements for a business combination in stages, including to re-measure previously owned interests in the joint operation at fair value. In this way, the acquirer reassesses all previously held interests in the joint operation.

The amendments do not have a significant impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the Company and its Group.

IFRS 11 Joint arrangements

The amendments specify that a party that participates in a joint operation but does not exercise joint control over it may obtain joint control over the joint operation in which the activities of the joint operation is a business as defined in IFRS 3. In such cases, previously held interests in the joint operation are not subject to revaluation.

The amendments do not have a significant impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the Company and its Group.

IAS 12 Income tax

The amendments specify that the tax consequences of dividend payments are more directly related to past transactions or events that led to distributable profits than to payments to owners. Therefore, the entity recognises the tax consequences of dividend payments in profit or loss, other total income or equity, depending on where the entity recognised these past transactions or events.

The amendments do not have a significant impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the Company and its Group.

IAS 23 Borrowing costs

The amendments specify that the entity treats all loans originally contracted to produce a qualifying asset as part of general loans when, in principle, all activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are completed.

The amendments do not have a significant impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the Company and its Group.

The Company has not decided to apply earlier any standard, interpretation or amendment that was published but has not yet entered into force in the light of European Union regulations.

All these amendments introduced were analysed by the Group's Management Board. In addition to introducing changes resulting from the application of IFRS 16 Leases (explained below), which the Group has applied since 1 January 2019, the Management Board of the Group believes that other amendments do not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations of the Group or the scope of information presented in to these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Changes to the Group's accounting policy introduced as a result of the adaption of IFRS 16

In order for a contract to be classified as a leasing agreement, the following conditions must be met:

− the contract must relate to an identified asset for which the supplier does not have a significant converting right − the contract should give the beneficiary the right to control the use of the identified asset for a specified period of time. This means that the user has the right to take advantage of the economic benefits of using a given component and the right to decide on its use − the contract must be payable.

The Group applies the following simplifications, based on not including the lease liability:

  • − short-term lease a short-term lease agreement is a contract with no option to purchase an asset, concluded for a period shorter than 12 months from the beginning of the contract
  • − low-value lease the basis for the assessment of the "low" value should be the value of the new asset. The Management Board of the Group has decided that this applies to lease agreements regarding assets whose value did not exceed PLN 15,000 (when new), which can be treated as the upper limit of recognition as a low value item.

If lease and non-lease components are identified in a contract, the Group chooses a practical solution according to which it recognises each lease component and any accompanying non-lease components as a single lease component.

In addition, in the case of a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics, the Group applies the standard to the entire portfolio when it reasonably expects that the impact that the application of this standard to the portfolio will have on the financial statements will not be significantly different from the impact of applying it to individual leases under this portfolio.

The duration of a lease contract is defined as the irrevocable duration of the lease contract including also possible periods of renewal of the lease contract if the lessee is reasonably certain that the lessee will use this option and possible periods of notice for the lease contract if the lessee is reasonably sure that this option will not be used.

At the time of the first recognition, the Group recognises the lease liability measured at the current value of lease payments due to the lessor over the lease period discounted at the marginal lending rate typical for a given asset. Lease payments include:

  • − fixed payments less any incentives due;
  • − variable lease payments, that depend on the index or the rate, initially priced using the index or the rate effective as at the starting date of the contract;
  • − amounts whose payment by the lessee is expected within the guaranteed residual value;
  • − the exercise price of the purchase option, if it can be assumed with sufficient certainty that the lessee will use this option;
  • − penalty payments for termination of the lease, if the lease terms stipulate that the lessee may use the option of termination of the lease.

At the same time, the Group recognises an asset for the right to use in the same amount as a liability, adjusted for all lease payments paid on or before the start date, less any lease incentives received and increased by any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee.

After initial recognition, the Group recognises a lease liability by:

  • − increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on a lease liability,
  • − reducing the carrying amount to reflect lease payments paid, and
  • − updating the valuation of the carrying amount to take account of any reassessment or change in the lease or to account for substantially constant lease payments.

After the date of commencement of the lease, the asset under the right of use is measured at cost less total depreciation and (amortization) and total impairment losses as well as the lease liability adjusted for any revaluation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. If a lease agreement transfers to the Group the title of a given component before the end of a lease period or when the cost of the asset due to the right of use reflects the fact that the Group will exercise the option to buy the residual value of the leased asset, the Group depreciates the asset due to the right to use from the commencement of the lease contract until the end of the estimated useful life of the asset. In other cases, the Group depreciates assets due to the right of use from the date of commencement of the contract to the earlier of the two dates: the end date of the economic life of the asset or end date of the lease. For lease contracts, the subject of which is an asset that, in accordance with the Group's accounting policies, is measured at fair value, the Group does not depreciate such assets due to the right to use, but measures them at fair value. For an asset under the right to use regarding the right of perpetual usufruct, which is measured at fair value in accordance with the Group's accounting policies, this value at each balance sheet date is equal to the value of the lease liability.

The standard introduced one model of lease recognition in the lessee's accounting books - in general, IFRS 16 assumes recognition of all lease agreements in a model similar to the financial leasing approach in line with IAS 17. The new IFRS 16 standard Leases replaces IAS 17, as well as interpretations IFRIC 4, SIC 15 and SIC 27. The Group applied IFRS 16 retrospectively, with reference to the cumulative effect of the first application of this standard, as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as at 1 January 2019. In accordance with IFRS 16, a contract is a lease or it includes a lease if it delegates the right to control an identified asset for a given period in exchange for remuneration. As at the date of transition to IFRS 16, the Group recognised the asset due to the right of use and the lease liability. The Company separately recognises the cost of interest and depreciation.

When applying this standard retrospectively, the Company made use of the following exemptions:

  • − The Group does not apply this Standard to contracts that have not previously been identified as leasing agreements in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRIC 4;
  • − The Group will apply a single discount rate to the portfolio of leases of a similar nature;
  • − Operating lease agreements, with the remaining leasing period shorter than 12 months on 1 January 2019, were treated as short-term leases and thus recognition of these contracts will not change;
  • − Operating lease agreements for which the underlying asset is of low value (e.g. office equipment) have not been recalculated and their recognition has not changed;
  • − The Company did not separate lease and non-lease components.

On 1 January 2019, the Group, as the lessee, recognised lease liabilities measured at the current value of other lease payments, discounted according to marginal Group interest rates, and recognised assets due to the right of use in the amount equal to lease liabilities.

The Group decided to present assets under the right of use under the same item, in which the relevant underlying assets would be represented if they were the property of the Group (the lessee).

As a real estate developer, the Group presents leasing liabilities:

  • − related to the inventory item short-term liabilities,
  • − related to investment property, office space and cars – long-term liabilities.

The Group classifies assets related to rights to use, resulting from agreements signed and decisions issued, to the following balance sheet items and applies appropriate accounting policies for certain items:

Agreement type and presentation in the balance sheet Measurement method as at the balance sheet date Impact on the profit and loss

Office space lease agreements: - investment properties, or Fair value measurement Yes - fixed assets Depreciation Yes Lease agreements on means of transport: - fixed assets Depreciation Yes Perpetual usufruct of land: - investment properties, or Fair value measurement * Yes - investment properties under construction, not measured at fair value, or Depreciation with simultaneous capitalisation of depreciation costs in the value of investment property under construction No - fixed assets, or Depreciation Yes - inventory Depreciation with simultaneous capitalisation of depreciation costs in inventory No

* Fair value of the asset due to the right to use, resulting from the right of perpetual usufruct of land, is determined in the amount of the lease liability calculated as at the given balance sheet date.

Lease liabilities are covered by IFRS 9 with respect to determining when these liabilities meet the criteria for removing them from the balance sheet. In accordance with IFRS 9 paragraph B.3.31 – B.3.34, the liability is removed from the balance sheet when it is settled, expired or the debtor was legally released from debt, for example by transferring the debt to another party. A special case is the right of perpetual usufruct of land, in relation to which the Group is legally released from debt resulting from obligations to pay fees for perpetual usufruct or conversion fees only at the time of legal (notarial) transfer to the buyer of a share in the land belonging to the premises sold. Therefore, until the transfer of the above land ownership, lease liabilities as well as corresponding assets due to the right to use land in perpetual usufruct, remain included in the balance sheet, despite the fact that, in accordance with the policies described in the section "Methods for determining the financial result", revenues from the sale of residential premises and services are recognised when the property is handed over to the buyer.

For this reason, when the premises is handed over to the buyer (which is also the moment when the proceeds from the sale of the premises are recognised), a part of the lease asset related to the premises is transferred from inventory to receivables from the buyer, in the amount corresponding to the recognised transformation fee liability on a given land. Until the transfer (notarial) to the purchaser of the property, both the receivable and the liability are presented as short-term, because they will be settled by transfer to the buyer during the "operating cycle". On the date of the transfer of ownership to the buyer, the land lease liability and the receivable from the purchaser of the premises are derecognised.

The impact of the implementation of IFRS 16 on 1 January 2019 resulted in recognition of an asset due to the right of use in the amount of PLN 177 495 thousand and lease liabilities in the amount of PLN 204 904 thousand, of which PLN 69 572 thousand relates to inventories, PLN 56 877 thousand to investment property, PLN 71 883 thousand to office space, and PLN 6 572 thousand to cars.

The Group recognised deferred tax assets in the amount of PLN 27 980 thousand and a provision for deferred tax in the amount of PLN 25 513 thousand. After offsetting, the Group disclosed in the Financial Statements the asset for deferred tax in the amount of PLN 2 467 thousand. The impact of the application of IFRS 16 for the first time on the result of previous years amounted to PLN 21 402 thousand.

The value of guarantees received by Echo Investment S. A. and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2019 was as follows:

  • − under lease agreements concluded: lack;
  • − from the implementation of projects: PLN 14 856 199, EUR 35 977.

IFRS 9 introduced a model based on the concept of expected losses, also in relation to the issuer of financial guarantees. The Company does not conduct separate activities in this area, but is only a party

to guarantees and sureties in relation to office and retail projects implemented by subsidiaries. Such guarantees constitute either collateral related to project implementation or after-sales collateral for new investors and constitute a form of collateral commonly used on the market. In the opinion of the Management Board, by monitoring the operations of subsidiaries, the Company has the full ability to monitor credit risk associated with issued guarantees. The entities of the Echo Investment Group have full capacity and readiness to fulfil contractual obligations, therefore the Management Board of the Company has not identified existence of significant expected losses due to issuing guarantees and sureties by the Company. In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9, a provision for expected credit losses as at 30 June 2019 was made in the amount of PLN 351 thousand, while as at 31 December 2018 - in the amount of PLN 270 thousand.

Note 13B The following are disclosures regarding the main groups of income that will enable users of the financial statements to become acquainted with the nature, amounts, acquisition dates and uncertainties related to income and cash flows resulting from concluded agreements.

REVENUES RELATED TO PROPERTY DEVELOP-MENT (I.E. SALE OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMER-CIAL UNITS)

The Company recognizes revenue when the obligation to perform the service is fulfilled. The obligation to perform the service is considered fulfilled at the time of handover of the property to the buyer, which follows on the basis of the acceptance protocol signed by the parties, only after completion of the property construction process and obtaining the occupancy permit, and provided that the buyer makes 100% payments towards the purchase price. 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. Due to such nature of contracts, the Company, as a rule, does not show receivables or other assets balances under contracts related to this group of revenues. The contractual obligations reflect the short-term down payments made by the clients. The table below presents changes in the liabilities balance under agreements in relation to this group of revenues.

The total value of future revenues related to obligations to perform a contract for the sale of residential and commercial space, resulting from agreements signed on 30 June 2019, is PLN 438,350,000, of which until the balance sheet date the Company received advance payments in the amount of PLN 131,702,000. These revenues will be recognised when the property is delivered to buyers, after completion of construction and obtaining the necessary administrative decisions, which follows on average after about 1-3 months after completion of construction.

REVENUES OF INVESTMENT IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES

As part of the investment implementation services, the Company provides investment preparation and organisation services in relation to development projects owned by other entities, mostly subsidiaries.

As part of its duties, the Company undertakes to perform supervisory, management, legal and other activities necessary to manage the investment. The process includes preparation of investments, organisation and service of tenders for construction works, supervision and coordination of construction works as well as customer service. The company recognises revenues at the time of fulfilment of the obligation to perform the service, i.e. during the service provision period. The remuneration resulting from the concluded contracts is permanent and due to the Company monthly. In addition, in the Company's opinion, the concluded contracts do not contain a significant element of financing. Due to such nature of the contracts signed, there are no significant balances of assets or liabilities under contracts, except for trade receivables (see note 9).

OTHER REVENUES OF THE COMPANY

The Management Board analysed the other contracts for the provision of services, including real estate intermediation services, book-keeping, legal, consulting, informatic, financial, marketing and other services, most of which are carried out for affiliated entities within activities under Echo Investment SA's holding company. The Company recognises 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 es-tate 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). In the majority of cases, services are provided on a monthly basis and are thus accounted for and payable to the Company. 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.

In connection with this nature of the contracts signed, there are no significant balances of assets or liabilities under contracts, other than trade receivables (see note 9).

IFRS 9, which replaced IAS 39, defines three categories of financial assets, depending on the business model in terms of asset management and the characteristics of cash flows resulting from the agreement:

  1. assets measured after initial recognition at amortized cost - if financial assets are held according to the business model, the purpose of which is to maintain financial assets to obtain cash flows arising from the agreement and the contractual terms relating to those financial assets give rise to cash flows that are only repayment of the principal and the interest;

  2. assets measured after initial recognition at fair value through other comprehensive income - if financial assets are held according to the business model, the purpose of which is both to maintain financial assets to obtain contractual cash flows and to sell financial assets and the contractual terms relating to those financial assets give rise to cash flows, which are only repayment of the principal and the interest;

  3. assets measured at fair value through the profit and loss account - all other financial assets.

INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF ECHO INVESTMENT S.A.

01

Accounting principles adopted in drawing up the semi-annual report of Echo Investment S.A.

Echo Investment's condensed non-consolidated interim financial statements for the first half of 2019, covering the period from 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2019, were prepared following IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' adopted by the European Union.

The condensed interim financial statements of Echo Investment S.A. present the financial data for the period of 6 months ended 30 June 2019 and the comparative data for the period of 6 months ended 30 June 2018 and the comparative data for the period of 12 month ended 31 December 2018.

The financial statements have been developed on the historical cost basis, save for investment properties and financial instruments measured at fair value.

Items in the financial statements of the Company are presented in the main currency of the economic environment in which the Company operates (functional currency).

The financial data are presented in the Polish zloty (PLN) – the presentation currency and the functional currency of the Company, rounded to the nearest thousands of zlotys, unless otherwise specified in specific situations.

COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

The statements were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) approved by the European Commission.

In order to fully understand the financial standing and the results of the Company, as the parent company Echo Investment Group, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the half-year consolidated financial statements drawn up for the period of 6 months ending 30 June 2019. These consolidated financial statements are available at the Company's registered office, in Kielce al. Solidarności 36 or on the website www.echo.com.pl.

GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION

The financial statements have been developed on the assumption of going concern in the foreseeable future, bearing in mind the fact that there are no circumstances implying a threat to going concern.

APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company prepared separate financial statements for the mid-year period ended 30 June 2019, which was approved for publication on 17 September 2019. The Management Board of the Company has used its best judgement regarding the application of standards and interpretations, as well as the methods and principles of measurement of individual items of these statutory financial statements.

Application of new and amended standards and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee and published standards and interpretations which are not effective yet, for Echo Investment S.A. are the same as described in items 04 and 05 for consolidated statements on pages 112 and 115.

Effects of changing the principles of accounting used

The semi-annual standalone financial statements were prepared in accordance with the IFRS applicable to the preparation of financial statements.

The accounting policies applied in these separate financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its separate financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

First-time adoption of IFRS 16 Leases

The Company has applied IFRS 16 "Leases" since 1 January 2019. The standard introduced one lease model in lessee's accounting books - in general, IFRS 16 includes all lease agreements in a model similar to the financial lease model in accordance with IAS 17. The new IFRS 16 Leases replaces the existing IAS 17 standard and interpretations IFRIC 4, SIC 15 and SIC 27. Under IFRS 16, an agreement is a lease or includes a lease if it delegates the right to control an identified asset for a given period of time in exchange for consideration. As at the date of transition to IFRS 16, the Company recognised an asset due to the right to use and lease liabilities. The Company separately recognises the cost of interest and depreciation. In applying this standard retrospectively, the Company used the following exemptions:

  • − the Company does not apply this standard to agreements that have not previously been identified as lease agreements in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRIC 4;
  • − the Company will apply a single discount rate to a similar leases portfolio;
  • − operating lease agreements, with the remaining lease period shorter than 12 months on 1 January 2019, were recognised as short-term leases and thus the treatment of these agreements will not change;
  • − operating lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value (e.g. office equipment) were not recalculated and their treatment were not changed.

The Company did not separate lease and non-lease elements

As at 1 January 2019, the Company as a lessee recognised lease liabilities valued at current value of other lease fees, discounted at the Company's marginal interest rates, and recognised assets under the right to use in the amount equal to lease liabilities. The Company decided to present assets under the right to use under the same item in which the relevant underlying assets would be presented if they were owned by the Company (the lessee).

The impact of the adaption of IFRS 16 on 1 January 2019 resulted in the recognition of assets under the right to use and lease liabilities in the amount of PLN 23,891,000, of which PLN 9,558,000 concerns to inventory, PLN 7,894,000 concerns office space, and PLN 6,439,000 concerns cars. The application of IFRS 16 for the first time did not affect the result from previous years of the Company.

Regarding the changes in its accounting policy, the company provided a broader description in the chapter "Principles adopted in the Echo Investment Group financial report" in the "Leasing" section.

Methods of determining the financial result

The financial result is determined from the profit and loss account, applying the principles of the accruals concept and the matching principle, the yield and the precautionary principle, upon reducing gross profit by input income tax, write-offs on account of provision for transitional difference due to income tax and other charges of the financial result. The financial result is determined by the calculation method.

OPERATING REVENUE

In accordance with IFRS 15, the Company recognises revenues when the obligation is fulfilled (or in the course of fulfilling) by transferring a promised goods or services (i.e. an asset) to a customer. The asset is transferred when the customer obtains control of that asset.

After fulfilling (or in the course of fulfilling) obligations, the entity recognises an amount equal to a transaction price as income, which has been assigned to that performance obligation. To determine the transaction price, the entity shall consider the terms of the contract and its usual commercial practices. The transaction price is the amount of remuneration that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example, certain sales taxes). The remuneration specified in the contract with the client may include fixed amounts, variable amounts or both. Revenue from the sale of residential and service premises are recognised on the date of handover of real estate to the buyer. This occurs on the basis of the acceptance protocol signed by the parties providing only after completion of the construction of real estate and receiving the occupancy permit on condition that the buyer will pay 100% towards the purchase price of real estate.

Paid apartments are also considered to be cases of minor underpayments (up to PLN 500), larger underpayments, which the Company decides not to collect from customers, or in the event of receivables from tenant changes, which, according to arrangements, are payable later than the moment of handover of the premises .

Revenues from the rental of residential and commercial space are recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the contracts concluded.

Revenue from other contracts for the provision of services (legal, consulting, IT, financial, marketing, security and other services) is recognised by the Company when the performance obligation is met.

COST OF SALES

Costs of goods, products and services sold consist of costs incurred in respect of revenues of a given financial year and overheads not yet incurred.

The cost of goods and products sold is measured at the production cost, using the method of detailed identification of the actual cost of assets sold or the percentage share e.g. of the land or shares sold, etc. In particular, the cost of sales of premises and land sold is determined proportionally to their share in the total cost of construction of the facility and the entire land constituting a given project. The costs of remuneration of employees responsible for project construction, in part in which they can be assigned to a specific project during construction, are capitalised in the value of the project. Costs are allocated on the basis of working hours reported by employees.

ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS RELATED TO PROJECTS

Administrative costs related to projects include administrative costs indirectly related to the implementation of development projects which include: land perpetual usufruct tax, real estate tax, maintenance fees, property protection, administrative staff remuneration costs and maintenance costs of employees responsible for construction of projects in the part where cannot be assigned to a specific project or they relate to projects completed and other costs related to the maintenance of development projects.

These costs, despite an indirect connection with the construction of development projects, are not capitalised in the value of inventories/investment properties, because:

  • − in light of IAS 2, these costs are excluded from the purchase price or the cost of inventories due to the fact that they are not incurred in order to bring inventories to their current status and place;
  • − IAS 40, which refers in this respect to the provisions of IAS 16, does not permit capitalisation of administrative and general management costs in the value of investment property.

FINANCING COSTS

Financial costs related to the current period are recognized in the profit and loss account according to the amortized cost method described in the Liabilities section, except for costs subject to activation in accordance with the solution included in IAS 23. The Company activates the part of financial expenses which is directly related to the acquisition and production of financial assets recognized as stock and projects commenced.

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.

In accordance with the requirements of IAS 23, the Company begins to activate financial costs when the Company undertakes actions necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use or sale. These activities involve more than just activities related to its physical construction. They also include technical and administrative work prior to commencing physical construction, such as activities related to obtaining necessary permits, design and preparatory works. However, such activities do not include the holding of an asset when no production or development that changes the asset's condition is taking place.

Estimates of the Management Board

To prepare the financial statements, the Company's Management Board had to make certain estimates and assumptions, which are reflected in the statements. The actual results may differ from the estimates.

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 assump-tions 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.

Main areas where the Management Board's estimates materially affect the financial statements:

INVENTORY

When estimating the net 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 inventory, 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.

LEASES

The adaption and application of IFRS 16 required the Company to make various estimates and to engage in professional judgment. The main area in which it happened concerning the assessment of lease periods, in agreements for an indefinite period and in agreements for which the Company was entitled to extend the agreement. When determining a lease period, the Company had to consider all facts and circumstances, including the existence of economic incentives to use or not to extend the agreement and any termination option. The Company also estimated the discount rate used in the calculation of the lease liability - as a riskfree rate increased by the characteristic margin for the given asset to which the lease relates.

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-con-trolled 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 impairment 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 30 June 2019, did not run any material operating activity, the value of the recognised writedowns 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.

DEFERRED INCOME TAX

The Company's Management Board is obliged to assess the probability of the realisation of deferred income tax assets. When preparing the financial statements, the Company estimates the value of the deferred income tax provision and asset based on, among other things, the value of prospective income tax burden. The process involves analysing current income tax burden and the value of tem-porary differences from different treatment of transactions in terms of fiscal and accounting aspects, resulting in the creation of deferred income tax assets and provisions.

A number of assumptions are adopted for determining the value of deferred income tax assets and provisions in the assessment process described above. The above estimates take account of fiscal forecasts, historic tax burden, currently available strategies for planning the Company's operating activity and timelines for realising the individual temporary differences. Since the above estimates may change due to external factors, the Company may periodically adjust the deferred income tax assets and provisions, which in turn may affect the Company's financial standing and performance.

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 reg-ulations 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 le-gal 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.

Value calculated for the purpose of analysis

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 reorganisation of the group.
