development and investment groups focused mainly on the Russian market.

Incorporated in Cyprus in 2001, AFI Development builds large scale, integrated and high profile commercial and residential properties to international standards.

on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in 2007, AFI Development became the first real estate development company operating in Russia to attain a premium listing in 2010.

AFI Development aims to deliver shareholder value through a commitment to innovation and continuous project development, coupled with the highest standards of design, construction and quality of customer service.

The Company focuses on developing and redeveloping high quality commercial and residential real estate assets across Russia, with Moscow as its main market. existing portfolio comprises commercial projects focused on offices, shopping centers and hotels, as well as residential projects and mixed-use properties. The Company's strategy is to sell the residential properties it develops and to either lease the commercial properties or sell them for a favorable return.

Forward-looking Statements

-

Forward-looking statements are sometimes, but not always, identified by their use of a date in the future or -looking statements are inherently unpredictable, speculative and involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • general economic and political conditions in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and changes to the associated legal, regulatory, competition and tax environments;
  • changes in the economies and markets in which the Company operates;
  • changes in the markets from which the Company raises finance;
  • the impact of legal or other proceedings against, or which may affect, the Company; and
  • changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

Any written or oral forward-looking statements, made in this document or subsequently, which are attributable to the Company or any persons acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the factors referred to above. No assurances can be given that the forward-looking statements in this document will be realized. Subject to compliance with applicable law and regulations, the Company does not intend to update these forward-looking statements and does not undertake any obligation to do so.

In 2016, the Russian macroeconomic environment started to show signs of recovery. Higher oil prices and a stronger rouble led to a lower than expected GDP decline of 0.8% (IMF) and moderate inflation of 5.4%. At the same time, the negative impact of international sanctions continued to impede growth and recovery of the economy.

In this environment, the residential real estate segment remained resilient, supported by the more accommodating macroeconomic climate. Recovery in the retail segment was largely attributable to improved consumer sentiment, more favourable rouble exchange rates, and continued interest from international retailers. However, in the office segment, high vacancy rates and low delivery levels remained.

An important development for the Company in 2016 was the resolution of negotiations with VTB Bank. In March 2016, the Bank notified the Company of a potential acceleration of the loans provided for the AFIMALL City and Ozerkovskaya III projects, totalling US\$614 million. In September 2016, an agreement was reached through amendment to terms of the loans and provision of additional guarantees and collaterals for the Bank. As a result, the Company has retained all assets and was able to resume its focus on construction and marketing of residential projects and on managing yielding commercial properties.

Our continued focus on the development of residential projects is reflected in the progress achieved at our Odinburg development, through the completed construction of Building 2 (delivery of apartments started in March 2017) and the ongoing construction and pre-sale of apartments at the AFI Residence Paveletskaya. The sales of residential units have contributed US\$54.5 million to our revenue in 2016. In Q1 2017, construction commenced at our other two residential projects in Moscow: AFI Residence Pochtovaya and the Botanic Garden.

Our yielding properties performed well throughout 2016, given the current environment; occupancy at AFIMALL City reached 84% and the footfall continued to grow. The hotels also performed well, with occupancy above 75%.

Revenue in 2016 grew by 47.6% year-on-year to US\$138.3 million, supported by strong residential sales. Our gross profit increased by 17.2%, reaching US\$49.4 million for the year. Nevertheless, due to valuation losses in H1 2016, we finished the year with a net loss of US\$47.9 million.

Looking to 2017, we expect market conditions to gradually improve and the general macroeconomic environment to remain somewhat challenging. Whilst demand for commercial real estate remains subdued, we will continue to adapt our strategy to ensure sustainable growth of our business in the future.

Valuation

As at 31 December 2016, based on the Jones Lang L 2 billion, while the value of the portfolio of investment property under development stood at US\$0.23 billion.

Consequently, as of 31 December 2016, was US\$1.4 billion, compared to US\$1.4 billion as at 31 December 2015.

Liquidity

We ended 2016 with approximately US\$16.7 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on our balance sheet and a debt1 to equity level of 81%. This position reflects the Compa

Our financing strategy aims to maximise the amount of debt financing for projects under construction, while maintaining healthy loan-to-value levels. After delivery and commissioning, we aim to refinance the properties at more favourable terms, including longer amortisation periods, lower interest rates and higher principal balloon payments. Property rights and shares of property holding companies are mainly used as collateral for the debt. We strongly prefer, whenever possible, to use non-recourse project level financing.

Key Events Subsequent to 31 December 2016

Following the year-end the following key events occurred:

  • In February 2017, AFI Development Plc announced that its subsidiary, Sanatory Plaza Project, which was completed on 28 February 2017. The loan, in the amount of US\$22.5 million, was provided in US dollars for 5 years (the term can be extended for an additional 5 years subject to agreement between the parties). It bears an annual interest rate of 3 months Libor + 4.5%, has quarterly principal payments (ranging from US\$260 thousand in Q3 2017 to US\$822 thousand in Q3 2021), and a balloon payment of US\$11.254 million at maturity. The interest is to be paid quarterly. The loan was primarily used to repay the outstanding debt of Plaza to the Project partner US\$16.9 million), prior to acquisition of the equity stake. The remainder of the loan was used to finance the acquisition itself: 50% equity stakes in both Nuana Limited and Craespon Management Limited (which together control 100% of Plaza) were subsidiaries for US\$5.6 million in cash.
  • In March 2017, AFI Development announced completion of the acquisition of the remaining 5% stake in the Tverskaya Plaza IV project from its partner, for US\$1.5 million in cash. AFI Development acquired 5% of the shares in Beslaville Management Limited, a subsidiary holding rights to the project, increasing its share from 95% to 100%.
  • In March 2017 the Company subsidiary AFI RUS Management LLC signed a facility agreement for a credit line of RUR470 million from Sberbank PJSC, with a 2 years term, to finance construction of the Odinburg project.

3.2 Our strategy

AFI Development is focused on developing and redeveloping high quality, integrated, large-scale, commercial and residential real estate assets including offices, shopping centres, hotels, mixeduse properties and residential projects. As part of our strategy, we aim to sell the residential units we develop and to lease the commercial properties, whilst not excluding opportunistic sales of select developments. We are committed to growing our high quality income-generating real estate portfolio.

Moscow is a rapidly expanding city; AFI Development has been part of this expansion for the last ten years and aims to develop projects that meet the needs of a growing, global city, creating new urban environments.

In addition to their large scale and high complexity, our projects are regenerative for their local environments and involve significant improvements to existing infrastructure. As such, we aim to enhance the overall value of the neighbourhoods we enter, creating more comfortable living and working conditions.

During our years of successful operations in Moscow, we have worked closely with the City authorities who have long recognised the high value-add nature of our projects. We have every confidence in our continued successful cooperation with the authorities going forward.

Our experienced management team, with strong knowledge and a proven track record of operating in the Russian market, aims to maintain a diversified portfolio whilst using a flexible, phased development approach. This allows us to leverage its development platform and complete projects on a cost-efficient basis, whilst also resulting in cash-generation at the earliest possible opportunity.

The high quality of our developments enables us to attract international and local tenants on favourable terms. To ensure high retention rates, we aim to sign leases of increasing length and place greater emphasis on on-going tenant relations.

Our expectation for the medium to long-term is that the Moscow real estate market will continue to offer a high volume of business activity and robust development potential due to its size, its position as the largest financial centre in Russia and as one of the largest capital cities in Europe. We believe that the current macroeconomic headwinds are temporary and do not change our view on the long-term fundamental strength of the Moscow market. We plan to maintain our development focus in Moscow, with expectations of further market improvement. At the same time, we will continue to review our land bank outside of Moscow and reactivate select projects based on availability of financing and strength of demand.

Market Overview General Moscow Real Estate

Macroeconomic Environment

With an estimated GDP decline of 0.8% (IMF), the Russian economy contracted less than expected in 2016, as gains in oil prices impacted positively on the economy. Inflation continued to decline, reaching 5.4% by year-end, helped by the appreciation of the rouble during the fourth quarter.

remained negatively impacted by international sanctions. Real disposable incomes continued to shrink by around 5-6%, causing further contractions in sales volumes and impeding economic growth. Despite gradual improvement towards the end of the year, the Central Bank of Russia maintained its conservative monetary policy, with the key lending rate at 10%.

As market volatility subsides, Russian real estate investment volumes continue to rise. In 2016, investment levels reached US\$4.2bn, a 74% increase versus 2015. Of this investment, 80%

Moscow Office Market

Demand in the Moscow office market saw an improvement in 2016, reflected in the 22% year-onyear increase in take-up to 1.06 million sq. m. At the same time, the volume of new office completions reached a record low of 317,300 sq.m. The Class A segment was a key contributor to this decline, with new delivery at 70,500 sq.m; four times lower than in 2015. This high demand and low supply resulted in an improvement in the vacancy rate to 15.9%, 1.8ppts below 2015 levels (for combined Classes A and B).

Renewals and renegotiation volumes decreased in 2016, as did their contribution to total transactions, which was at 27%, down from 39% in 2015.

US dollar denominated leases accounted only for 10% of leased space in 2016 as rouble denominated leases continued to dominate the market. Strengthening of the rouble helped office rental rates to stabilise during the year.

Finally, the opening of the Moscow Central Circle line (MCC) railroad during the second half of 2016 represents another key improvement in infrastructure. The new commuter train, integrated into the main Moscow transport infrastructure, provides further access to existing offices in the Moscow-City area.

Moscow Retail Market

Despite delivery of 473,000 sq. m of new shopping space (2015: 441,000 sq. m), rental rates for Moscow shopping centres remained broadly stable throughout 2016 (prime rent: RUR195,000; average rent: RUR74,000) with vacancy rates at year-end at 10.2%.

Continued interest in the Moscow retail market is reflected in the market entry of 34 new international retailers in 2016, the majority of which came from Italy, France and the UK.

In addition to the office market, the opening of the Moscow Central Circle line has implications for ion near AFIMALL City has further improved access to the Mall. Areas surrounding MCC stations offer growth potential for real estate developers and are expected to drive future construction and development of retail centres.

securing necessary financing and having full confidence in the demand levels of prospective tenants or buyers.

This section presents information regarding below, as well as risks.

Risk management framework

The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the establishment and oversight of the risk management policies.

ment policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

ing of compliance with the t Committee is assisted in its oversight role by Internal Audit. Internal Audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee and the whole Board of Directors. The Board of Directors requests management to take corrective actions as necessary and submit follow up reports to the Audit Committee and the Board, addressing deficiencies found.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to AFI Development if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the

Trade and other receivables

Financial assets that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade and other receivables. The carrying amount of trade and other receivables represents the maximum amount exposed to credit risk. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents as well as credit exposures with respect to rental customers, including outstanding receivables. The Company has policies in place to ensure that, where possible, rental contracts are made with customers with an appropriate credit history. Cash transactions are limited to high-credit-quality financial institutions. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.

AFI Development has no other significant concentrations of credit risk, although collection of receivables could be influenced by economic factors.

Investments

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by only investing in liquid securities and with counterparties that have a high credit rating. Management actively monitors credit ratings and given that the Group has only invested in securities with high credit ratings, management does

not expect any existing counterparty to fail to meet its obligations, except as disclosed in note 33 to the Company's Audited Financial Statements for year 2014.

Guarantees

tees only to wholly-owned subsidiaries in exceptional cases. In negotiations with lending banks, the Company aims to avoid recourse to AFI Development on loans taken by subsidiaries.

As at 31 December 2016, there were two outstanding guarantees: one for the amount of US\$1 million in favour of VTB Bank PJSC under a loan facility agreement of Bellgate Construction Limited (AFIMALL City) and the second for the amount of US\$ 192 million, also in favour of VTB Bank PJSC, under a loan facility agreement of Krown Investments LLC (Ozerkovskaya III).

In February 2017, AFI Development provided an additional guarantee in favour of VTB Bank PJSC for the loan amounting to US\$22.5 million, taken by its subsidiary Sanatory Plaza LLC to finance the acquisition of the 50% stake in the Plaza Spa Kislovodsk project (including repayment of debt ). This guarantee will remain in place until all security agreements under this loan are entered into and registered, expected by the end of April 2017.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and reputation. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Company aims to maintain flexibility in its funding requirements by keeping cash and committed credit lines available.

Management monitors and takes necessary actions, if required. The Company structures its assets and liabilities in such a way that liquidity risk is minimised.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the available returns for shareholders. We are exposed to market risks from changes in both foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We do not use financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign currency options and forward rate agreements, to manage these market risks. To date, we have not utilised any derivative or other financial instruments for trading purposes.

Interest rate risk

We are subject to market risk deriving from changes in interest rates, which may affect the cost of our current floating rate indebtedness and future financing. As of 31 December 2014, 27% of our financial liabilities were fixed rate. For more detail see note 33 to our consolidated financial statements.

Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on future commercial transactions, recognised monetary assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations that are denominated in a the US Dollar and Russian Rouble.

Operational risk

Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated w external factors other than credit, market and liquidity risks such as those arising from legal and regulatory requirements and generally accepted standards of corporate behaviour. Operational

The primary responsibility for the development and implementation of controls to address operational risk is assigned to senior management within each business unit. This responsibility is supported by the development of overall Company standards for the management of operational risk. Compliance with Company standards is supported by a programme of periodic reviews undertaken by way of internal audits. The results of the internal audit reviews are discussed with the management of the business unit to which they relate, with summaries submitted to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those policies that require the application of our management's most challenging, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Critical accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties that are sufficiently sensitive to result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our most critical accounting policies are those described below.

A detailed description of certain of the main accounting policies we use in preparing our consolidated financial statements is set forth in notes 3 and 5 to our consolidated financial statements.

Estimates regarding fair value

We make estimates and assumptions regarding the fair value of our investment properties that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the amounts of assets and liabilities on our balance sheet. In particular, our investment properties under development (which currently comprise the majority of our projects) are remeasured at fair value upon completion of construction and the gain or loss on remeasurement is recognised in our income statement, as appropriate. In forming an opinion on fair value, we consider information from a variety of sources including, among others, the current prices in an active market, third party valuations and internal management estimates.

The principal assumptions underlying our estimates of fair value are those related to the receipt of contractual rentals, expected future market rentals, void/vacancy periods, maintenance requirements and discount rates that we deem appropriate. We regularly compare these valuations to our actual market yield data, actual transactions and those reported by the market. We determine expected future market rents on the basis of current market rents for similar

properties in the same location and condition. For further details, please refer to Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements.

Impairment of financial assets

We recognise impairment losses with respect to financial assets, including loans receivable and trade and other receivables, in our income statement if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. We test significant financial assets for impairment on an individual basis and assess our remaining financial assets collectively in groups that share similar credit characteristics. Impairment losses with respect to financial assets are calculated as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows of the asset discounted at the original effective interest rate of that asset.

Estimating the discounted present value of the estimated future cash flows of a financial asset is inherently uncertain and requires us both to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the asset and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. Changes in one or more of these estimates can lead us to either recognizing or avoiding impairment charges

Impairment of non-financial assets

We recognise impairment loss with respect to non-financial assets, including investment property under development and trading properties under construction, if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, we discount estimated future cash flows of the asset to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. The carrying amounts of impaired non-financial assets are reduced to their estimated recoverable amount either directly or through the use of an allowance account and we include the amount of such loss in our income statement for the period.

We assess at each reporting date whether there is any indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, we then estimate the recoverable amount of the asset. Estimating the value in use requires us to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the asset and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The development of the value in use amount requires us to estimate the life of the asset, its expected cash flows over that life and the appropriate discount rate, which is primarily based on our weighted average cost of capital, itself subject to additional estimates and assumptions. Changes in one or all of these assumptions can lead to us either recognizing or avoiding impairment charges.

Deferred income taxes

We are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction estimation of actual current tax exposure and the assessment of the temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as capitalization of expenses, among others, for tax and financial reporting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheet. We must assess, in the course of our tax planning process, our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to obtain the benefit of deferred tax assets based on expected future deferred tax assets recorded will not be recovered, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the deferred tax asset.

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities and valuation allowances to reflect the potential inability to fully recover deferred tax assets. In our consolidated financial statements, the analysis is based on the estimates of taxable income in the jurisdictions in which we operate and the period over which the deferred tax assets and liabilities will be recoverable.

If actual results differ from these estimates, or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to establish an additional valuation allowance which could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.

Share-based payment transactions

The fair value of employee share options is measured using a binomial lattice model. The fair value of share appreciation rights is measured using the Black-Scholes formula. Measurement inputs include share price on the measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historic experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value.

Related Party transactions

There were no related party transactions (as defined in the UK Listing Rules) in the financial year ended 31 December 2016 or in the period since 31 December 2016.

In this section of the report the Company provides disclosures and statements of compliance with various UK Listing Rules applicable to it, in particular as required under the UK Listing Rule 9.8.4 R.

6.1 Compliance with the UK Listing Rule 9.2.2AR

The Board of Directors states as follows:

During 2016 the controlling shareholder of AFI Development Plc has changed. From the beginning of the year till 7 September 2016, the controlling shareholder was Africa Israel e Company. On 7 September 2016 the old controlling shareholder disposed of all its holdings in the Company to , which was holding a 64.88% interest in AFI Development Plc as of 31 December 2016.

The Company has entered into a Relationship Agreement under the UK Listing Rule 9.2.2A R (2)(a) with its old controlling shareholder, Africa Israel Investments Limited, on 16 September 2014 (the agreement replaced the previous relationship agreement made between the parties in 2007). Following the change of controlling shareholder, the Company entered into a Relationship Agreement with the new controlling shareholder on 27 October 2016.

The Board of Directors is satisfied that the Company has complied with the independence provisions in the Relationship Agreements with both controlling shareholders during 2016.

So far as the Company is aware, the independence provisions included in both Relationship Agreements have been complied with during 2016 by both the old and the new controlling shareholders and any of their associates.

All independent directors supported the above statement.

At the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on 26 October 2016, the Company had a separate meeting of independent shareholder -shares (the premium listed shares) to approve the re-election of its independent directors, as required by the UK Listing Rules 9.2.2E R. All independent directors were approved by the meeting of independent shareholders. The Company is therefore in compliance with the UK Listing Rule 9.2.2E R.

6.2 Compliance with the UK Corporate Governance Code

Although the Company is incorporated in Cyprus, its shares are not listed on the Cyprus Stock Exchange, and therefore it is not required to comply with the corporate governance regime of Cyprus. Pursuant to the UK Listing Rules however, the Company is required to comply with the UK Corporate Governance Code6 or to explain its reasons for non-compliance. The Company's policy is to achieve best practice in its standards of business integrity in relation to all activities. This includes a commitment to follow the highest standards of corporate governance throughout the AFI Development group. The UK Corporate Governance Code published in September 2014 Code applied to the Company during the period under review; the updates to the UK

6 A copy of the Code can be downloaded free of charge from the Financial Reporting Council website at http://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Codes-Standards/Corporate-governance/UK-Corporate-Governance-Code.aspx

Corporate Governance Code published in April 2016 apply to the Company for the financial year commencing 1 January 2017.

The directors are pleased to confirm that the Company has complied with the provisions of the Code for the period under review, with the exception that the Executive Chairman of the Board, Mr Leviev, was not independent on appointment (as required by section A.3.1 of the Code) by virtue of the fact that he is an Executive Chairman and is, indirectly, a major shareholder of the Company. Mr Leviev holds a controlling stake in Flotonic Limited, the major shareholder of the Company. The directors consider Mr Leviev to be a key member of the Company's leadership and are of the opinion that his oversight, management role and business reputation are important to the Company's success. The directors are therefore of the view that Mr Leviev should continue as Executive Chairman as it would be beneficial for the Company.

The directors are responsible for the preparation of the Annual Report and financial statements of the Company.

The Full Year 2016 financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 6 April 2017, and published on 7 April 2017. The Board estimates that the Group will generate sufficient operating cash flows so as to meet the Loan Facilities interest payments. The Board and the management explore all options in relation to repaying the Loan Facilities when they fall due in 2018, which may or may not include the disposal of certain assets or projects or refinance of AFIMALL City loan. Management considers its available options and is developing a plan on how to approach the loans at maturity and secure further financing to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. After having reviewed a cash flow projection for the period ending 31 December 2018, having discussed it with management and the Company auditors, the directors reached a reasonable expectation that that the Group will be in a position to refinance or negotiate the loans at maturity, secure further financing for its projects under construction and development and achieve the sales volumes and prices as budgeted and forecasted to generate enough cash to cover its working capital requirements in order to continue its operations in the foreseeable future. Considering all the above conditions and assumptions, the directors concluded that the Company had adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the coming 12 months. For this reason, they adopted the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.

6.4 Viability Statement

The Board assessed the prospects of the Company over a period of five years in December 2016 and a 20 months cash flow projection in April 2017. The Board approves detailed Company business plans for each calendar year, which normally include five years projections, the period that the Board considers most appropriate.

Where appropriate, sensitivity and scenario analysis are used to stress-test the resilience of the Company and its business model to the potential impact of the principal risks, or a combination of those risks.

The Board confirms that its assessment of the principal risks facing the Company, including those that would threaten its business model, future performance, solvency and/or liquidity, and which are set out in the Principal Risks and Uncertainties section of this report, was robust.

The Board confirms that it has a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the period of at least 12 months.

Options are currently intended to be granted only to senior managers, directors (except non-executive directors) and key personnel of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

The exercise price of an option for each A Ordinary Share, B Ordinary Share or Global Depository Receipt, is determined by the Remuneration Committee and should not be lower than the closing market price on the day preceding the day of grant, unless the Remuneration Committee determines at its discretion that a lower price is required, for example, in order to facilitate the recruitment or retention of a key executive. In any 10 year period, not more than 10% of the re capital may be issued or be issuable under the Share Option Plan and any other employee share plan that the Company operates. Options that have been released or lapsed without being exercised are ignored for the purposes of this maximum limit.

Subject to the participant discharging any relevant tax liability, options will normally be exercisable at the following times: (a) as to one-third of the A Ordinary Shares, B Ordinary Shares or GDRs in respect of which options were granted from the second anniversary of the grant, (b) as to a further one-third of the A Ordinary Shares, B Ordinary Shares or GDRs from the third anniversary of grant, and (c) as to the remainder of the A Ordinary Shares, B Ordinary Shares or

GDRs from the fourth anniversary of grant. A different vesting schedule may be determined by the Remuneration Committee at grant. The vesting of options already granted is not subject to any performance conditions. The Remuneration Committee may, however, determine that options granted in the future should be subject to performance conditions.

If a participant dies, her/his options will be exercisable within a period of 12 months following her/his death. If a participant ceases to be an employee or director by reason of injury, disability, redundancy, the sale of the business for which he works to a third party, or retirement, her/his options may generally be exercised within 6 months of cessation. If a participant ceases to be an employee or director for any other reason, her/his options will normally lapse unless and to the extent the Remuneration Committee decides otherwise.

The Remuneration Committee may satisfy (generally with the consent of the participant) an option on exercise by paying to the participant in cash or other assets the gain (i.e. the difference between the market value of the relevant B Ordinary shares or GDRs on the date of exercise and the exercise price), as an alternative to issuing or transferring the B Ordinary Shares or transferring or procuring the transfer of GDRs to the participant.

The Remuneration Committee may amend the rules of the Share Option Plan at any time. The Share Option Plan will terminate upon the tenth anniversary of approval, if not terminated earlier by the Remuneration Committee. Termination of the Share Option Plan will not affect the subsisting rights of the participants.

In 2016, the Company did not grant any share options under the Share Option Plan.

Overview

As at 31 December 2016 7 investment properties, 4 investment properties under development, 3 trading properties under development and 3 hotel projects. The portfolio comprises commercial projects focused on offices, shopping centres, hotels and mixed-use properties, as well as residential projects, in prime locations in Moscow. December 2016, was US\$1.4 billion9 . About 64% of the assets book value is attributed to yielding properties.

Revenues for 2016 increased by 47.6% year-on-year to US\$138.3 million, mainly as a result of residential disposals. The average exchange rate of RUB to USD increased by 10.0% during 2016. AFI Development recorded a 17.2% year-on-year increase in gross profit to US\$49.4 million as a result of this. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased by 60.7% to US\$16.7 million as at 31 December 2016, due to debt repayment and financing of construction work partly from own capital, and as a result of a sale of bonds in the amount of US\$18.1 million and US\$4.2 million worth of bonds maturing during the period.

In 2016, AFI Development incurred a net loss of US\$47.9 million, compared to net loss of US\$466.7 in 2015.

Key Factors Affecting our Financial Results

Our results have been affected, and are expected to be affected in the future, by a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

Macroeconomic Factors

Our properties and projects are mainly located in the Russian Federation. As a result, Russian macroeconomic trends and country-specific risks significantly influence our performance.

Company Specific Factors

The following factors affected our performance in 2016:

9 According to the IFRS rules, Investment property and Investment property under development are presented on a fair value basis, Trading property, Trading property under construction and Property, plant and equipment are presented on a cost basis.

  • In Q1 and Q2 2016, the Company transferred the pre-sold apartments in Building 1 of the Odinburg project to customers, allowing it to recognise revenue from sales of trading properties in the amount of \$54.5 million.
  • Due to an agreement reached with VTB Bank PJSC in September 2016, the Company did not make principal payments in Q2, Q3 and Q4 under the loan agreements at the Ozerkovskaya III and AFIMALL City projects, which resulted in cash outflow reduction of US\$ 25.2 million for 2016.

Disposals and Acquisitions

During 2016, the Company disposed of a building on Sadovaya Samotechnaya Street in Moscow, which was purchased in 2014 in relation to the Botanic Garden Project: The Company - RUR86,000,000 including VAT (approximately US\$1.3 million).During 2016, the Company did not make any acquisitions.

Presentation of Financial Information

Our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial the Companies Law of Cyprus, Cap. 113. IFRS differs in various material respects from US GAAP and UK GAAP.

Financial policies and practices

Revenue Recognition

The key elements of our revenue recognition policies are as follows:

  • Rental income. We recognise rental income from leased investment properties under operating leases in our statement of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Rental income also includes income from hotel operations.
  • Income from hotel operations. Income from hotel operations comprises of accommodation, treatments and other services offered at the hotels operated by the Group, as well as sales of food and beverages, and are recognised on acceptance of the service by the client.
  • Sales of trading properties. We recognise revenue from the sales of trading properties in our statement of comprehensive income when the risks and rewards of ownership of the property are transferred to the buyer. When we receive down payments in connection with the sale of trading property that is under construction, we record this figure in current liabilities on our balance sheet at the time of sale.
  • Construction Management fee. Revenue from construction management is recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses consist mainly of employee wages, social benefits and property operating expenses, including property tax, which are directly attributable to revenues. We recognise as expenses in our statement of comprehensive income the costs of employees who have provided construction consulting and construction management services with respect to our investment and trading properties. We also recognise property operating costs (including outsourced

building maintenance), utilities, security and other tenant services related to our properties that generate rental income, as expenses on our statement of comprehensive income.

Administrative expenses

Our administrative expenses comprise primarily of general and administrative expenses such as, audit and consulting, marketing costs, charity, travelling and entertainment, office equipment, as well as depreciation expenses related to our office use motor vehicles, bad debt provisions and other provisions.

Profit on disposal of investment in subsidiaries

We recognise profit or loss from the sale of interests in our subsidiaries when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer in the transaction.

Share of the after tax (loss)/profit of joint ventures

A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control, whereby the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities.

Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognised at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated s and OCI of equity-accounted investees, until the date on which joint control ceases.

Gross Profit

of all cost for trading properties sold and operating, administrative and other expenses, recognised in profit or loss during the year.

Revaluation of investment property

An external, independent valuation company (with appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and categories of properties being valued) on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of the valuation in a transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller after proper marketing, wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The difference between revalued fair value of investment property and its book value is recognised as gain or loss in the statement of comprehensive income.

Operating profit before net finance costs

Operating profit before net finance costs is calculated by adding revenue, other income, profit on disposal of investment in subsidiaries and valuation gains on investment property, and subtracting operating expenses, administrative expenses and other expenses.

Finance income

Our finance income comprises net foreign exchange gain, if any, and interest income. We recognise foreign exchange gains and losses, principally in connection with US Dollar or other foreign currency denominated payables and receivables of our Russian subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the Russian Rouble. Our interest income is derived primarily from interest on our bank deposits, coupon income on bonds and interest on loans to our joint ventures.

Finance expenses

Our finance expense comprises net foreign exchange loss, if any, and interest expense on outstanding loans less interest capitalised. We recognise foreign exchange gains and losses principally in connection with US Dollar denominated payables and receivables of our Russian subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the Russian Rouble. We capitalise our interest expense with respect to our development projects that are under construction, for which amounts are not reflected as expenses in our statement of comprehensive income. When funds are borrowed specifically for a particular project, we capitalize all actual borrowing costs related to the project less income earned on the temporary investment of such borrowings and when funding for a project is obtained from our general funds, we capitalise only funding costs related to the particular project based on the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to our general funds. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in process and expenditures and borrowing costs are incurred. Capitalisation of borrowing costs may continue until the assets are ready for their intended use.

Foreign currency gain or loss on financial assets and financial liabilities is reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance expense depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position.

Income tax expense

Income taxes are calculated based on tax legislation applicable to the country of residence of each of our subsidiaries and, as a company based and organised in Cyprus, we are subject to income tax in Cyprus. We and our Cypriot subsidiaries are currently subject to a statutory corporate income tax rate of 12.5% in Cyprus. Our Russian subsidiaries were subject to corporate income tax at a rate of 20%.

Capitalisation of Costs for Properties under Development

We capitalise all costs directly related to the purchase and construction of properties developed as both investment properties and trading properties, including costs to acquire land rights and premises, design costs, permit costs, costs of general contractors, costs relating to the lease of the underlying land and the majority of employee costs related to such projects.

In addition, we capitalise financing costs related to development projects only during the period of construction. We do not, however, commence the capitalising of financing costs related to expenditures on a project until construction has begun from 1 January 2009, upon completion of construction works, property classified as investment property under development (which are those properties that are being constructed or developed for future use to earn rental income or for capital appreciation) is appraised to market value and reclassified as an investment property and any gain or loss on appraisal is recognised in our statement of comprehensive income. Trading properties, which include those projects where we intend to sell the entire project as a whole or in part (this principally includes our residential development projects), are represented on our balance sheet at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and sale.

Exchange Rates

Our consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars, which is our functional currency. The functional currency of our Russian subsidiaries and joint ventures and four Cyprus companies is the Russian Rouble. The balance sheets of our Russian subsidiaries are translated into US Dollars in accordance with IAS 21, whereby assets and liabilities are translated into US Dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date and income and expense items are translated into US Dollars at the average exchange rate for the period. If the volatility of

the exchange rates is high for a given year or period, the Company uses the average rate for shorter periods i.e. quarters or months for income and expense items. All resulting foreign currency exchange rate differences are recognised directly in our shareholders' equity under the

When a foreign operation is disposed of in its entirety or partially such that control or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. The monetary assets and liabilities of our Russian subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than Russian Roubles are initially recorded by our subsidiaries at the exchange rate between the Russian Rouble and such foreign currency prevailing at such date. Such monetary assets and liabilities are then retranslated into Russian Roubles at the exchange rate prevailing at each subsequent balance sheet date. We recognise the resulting exchange rate differences between the dates at which such assets or liabilities were originally recorded and at subsequent balance sheet dates as foreign exchange losses and gains in our statement of comprehensive income. In particular, during the period under review, we have recognised foreign exchange rate gains and losses in connection with US Dollar denominated payables and receivables of our Russian subsidiaries.

Recovery of VAT

We pay VAT to the Russian authorities with respect to construction costs and expenses incurred in connection with our projects, which, according to Russian tax law, can be recovered upon completion of construction. Under a revised Russian VAT legislation, VAT can also be claimed during the period of construction provided that all required documentation is presented to the VAT authorities. We have accordingly included recoverable VAT as an asset on our balance sheet, the size of which we expect will slightly decrease as the development of our projects advances and necessary documents will be obtained.

Deferred Taxation

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Under Russian tax law, capitalisation of certain costs in relation to the design, construction and financing of projects that are capitalised for the purposes of consolidated financial statements under IFRS is not allowed. As a result, our tax bases in the related assets may be lower than our accounting bases for IFRS purposes, which would result in deferred tax liabilities. However, the recognition of such costs as expenses may result in accumulated tax losses for Russian tax purposes that we may be able to carry forward against estimated future profits, resulting in deferred tax assets. However, such tax losses may only be carried forward to offset gains for a ten-year period and they may only be utilised in the Russian subsidiary/branch in which such tax losses were generated.

Measurement of fair values

Our future results of operations may be affected by our measurement of the fair value of our investment properties and changes in the fair value of such properties. Upon completion of construction, the projects that we have classified as investment property under development are reassessed at fair value and reclassified as investment property, and any gain or loss as a result of reassessment is recognised in our statement of comprehensive income.

Any change in fair value of the investment property under development is thereafter recognised as a gain or loss in the statement of comprehensive income. Accordingly, fair value measurements of investment properties under development may significantly affect results of operations even if the Company does not dispose of such assets.

We have an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values and reports directly to the CFO. The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

Sale of residential. Our income from sale of residential increased by US\$53.8 million, from US\$0.7 million in 2015 to US\$54.5 million in 2016, due to sale of trading properties in the Odinburg project.

Operating expenses. Our operating expenses decreased by 4.1% year-on-year to US\$38.8 million in 2016 (2015: US\$40.5 million), as a result of cost savings.

Administrative expenses. Our administrative expenses decreased by 38.1 % year-on-year to US\$6.6 million in 2016 (2015: US\$10.6 million). The decrease is attributable to increase in reverse of bad debt provision from US\$0.1 million in 2015 to US\$1.3 million in 2016, as well as other cost saving initiatives across the Company.

Net valuation gain/(losses) on properties. Net result of investment property valuation changed from a loss of US\$434.4 million in 2015 to a loss of US\$123.0 million in 2016. For additional information, please refer to

Impairment loss on inventory of real estate. Net result of real estate impairment increased from a loss of US\$12.7 million in 2015 to US\$0.0 million in 2016 due to transfer of the Botanic Garden project from Inventory of real estate to Trading property under construction, and corresponding change in recognition policy

Finance income. Our finance income decreased by 49.2 % year-on-year to US\$2.1 million in 2016 (2015: US\$4.2 million). The decrease was a result of the change in the Company financial investments portfolio.

Finance expense. Our finance expense decreased by 3.4 % year-on-year to US\$44.6 million in 2016 (2015: US\$46.2 million), as a result of Russian Rouble devaluation versus the US Dollar (the average exchange rate of RUB to USD increased by 10.0% during 2016).

FX Gain/(Loss). We recorded a foreign exchange gain of US\$63.7 million in 2016, against a loss of US\$110.3 million in 2015. This was a result of Russian Rouble appreciation versus the US Dollar during 2016.

Income tax expense. Our current tax expense decreased to a reverse of US\$0.6 million compared to accrual of US\$0.8million in 2015. This was due to correction of tax expenses in a Group company for a prior year.

Profit/Loss for the year. Due to the factors described above, we recorded a US\$47.9 million net loss for 2016 compared to net loss of US\$466.7 million for 2015.

Net cash from operating activities

Net cash from operating activities increased to US\$35.2 million in 2016, from US\$34.4 million in 2015. The increase is attributable to the fact that sales of residential units in Odinburg, nominated in Russian rouble, created higher USD positive cash flow due to rouble appreciation.

Net cash from investing activities

Net cash inflow from investing activities amounted to US\$ 9.1 million and is attributable to cash receipt from the sale and maturity of investments in marketable securities.

Net cash used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased to a negative US\$58.0 million in 2016 from a negative US\$80.0 million in 2015 due to Company repayment of part of principal amount and interests during 2016.

Capital Resources

Capital Requirements

We require capital to finance capital expenditures, consisting of cash outlays for capital investments in active real estate development projects; repayment of debt; changes in working capital; and general corporate activities.

Real estate development is a capital-intensive business, and we expect to have significant ongoing liquidity and capital requirements in order to finance our active development projects.

For the foreseeable future, we expect that we will continue to rely on our financing activities to support our investing and operating activities. We also expect that our capital expenditures in connection with the development of real estate properties will comprise the majority of our cash outflows for the foreseeable future.

AFI Development ended 2016 with of approximately US\$16.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on our balance sheet and a debt10 to equity level of 81%.

financing strategy aims to maximise the amount of debt financing for projects under construction while maintaining healthy loan-to-value levels. After delivery and commissioning, the aim is to refinance properties at more favourable terms, including longer

10 Debt includes all loans and borrowings. For further details please see note 28 to the Financial Statements.

amortisation periods, lower interest rates and higher principal balloon payments. Property rights and shares of property holding companies are mainly used as collateral for the debt. We strongly prefer, whenever possible, to use non-recourse project level financing.

Whilst the general economy has shown some signs of stabilisation during the year 2016 with higher oil prices and inflation on a downward trend, the performance of the real estate sector remains weak.

The Group has recognised a net loss after tax of US\$48 million for the year ended 31 December 2016 driven by a decrease in the val continuous decline of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities down to US\$16.7 million. These were a continuation of the year ended 31 December 2015 results, where AFI Development PLC reported net losses of US\$467 million, which predominately related to a US\$1,400 million. Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities also declined by US\$50.8 million during 2015 to US\$42.5 million as at 31 December 2015.

Furthermore, as described in the below paragraphs, between the period from 29 March 2016, when the Company received the VTB Bank letter, and up until the signing of an addendum to the loan agreements on the 27 September 2016, the Company went through an extensive series of negotiations with VTB Bank on the loan facilities of Ozerkovskaya III and AFIMAL City. In addition, the maturity of the loans, early 2018 will require the Group to make a lump sum payment of the principal of the loans with a current balance of \$627,533 thousand. These conditions, along

with other matters set forth below, indicate the existence of material uncertainty which may cast inue as a going concern.

As described in more detail in the company announcements and its interim financial statements for the three quarters ended 31 March, 30 June and 30 September 2016 a series of events and negotiations with VTB bank for its the Ozerkovskaya III and AFIMALL City Loan Facilities took place.

On 29 March 2016 the C letter stated that the Bank had reached a conclusion that Bellgate Construction Limited and Krown Investments LLC (the borrowers under the AFIMALL City and the Ozerkovskaya III loan facilities respectively) had experienced, in the opinion of the Bank, material adverse changes in their financial conditions and there had appeared other circumstances that indicated that their obligations under the loan facility agreements could be not met on time. According to the letter, consequences of the aforesaid circumstances, no later than 3 otherwise the Bank will exercise its right under the loan facility agreements to claim early repayment of the loans.

Following the above letter and further to a series of negotiations and discussions between the Company and the Bank, the Group has ended up with two possible alternatives to follow, the

release the AFI Development group from all of its obligations in respect of the loans taken by Krown Investments Limited and Bellgate Constructions Limited, which amount to US\$619.1 following properties:

  • AFIMALL City Shopping Centre, a shopping and entertainment centre in the business district of Moscow;
  • Ozerkovskaya III, a completed Class A office complex in Moscow; and
  • Aquamarine Hotel, a modern 4-star hotel, located in the Ozerkovskaya complex

In this respect the Company issued a class1 circular on the 15 July 2016 and the transaction was approved at the General Meeting held on 1 August 2016.

as announced on 2 August 2016, was in parallel to the Disposal Transaction where the Company had been informed that at a meeting on 1 August 2016 between the Executive Chairman of the Company, Mr Lev Leviev and VTB, Mr Leviev executed a unilateral Guarantee Deed - a personal guarantee and indemnity deed under English law from Mr Leviev to VTB, pursuant to which Mr Leviev has agreed to guarantee the obligations of Krown addition the Group executed addenda to the loan facility agreements and respective security agreements with VTB, according to which the due date for the Principal Payments have been

Further to the above, on the 27 September 2016, the Company and VTB signed an addendum to the Ozerkovskaya III and AFIMALL City Loan Facilities. The addenda, as disclosed in detail in note 28, Loans and Borrowings, provided the deferral of the quarterly principal payments due on the Loan Facility Agreements to maturity of each of the Loans and the removal of the existing covenants to the Ozerkovskaya III Loan Facility, in consideration for which VTB has sought

additional security in respect of the Loans which now includes cross default provisions between the AFIMALL City project, in respect of the Ozerkovskaya III Loan Facility.

In addition, Mr Leviev has, on the same date, provided VTB with a Guarantee, pursuant to which Mr Leviev has undertaken to guarantee, for a period of 10 months, the obligations of Krown under the Ozerkovskaya III Loan Facility. The Guarantee, which is enforceable for 12 months, provides additional security to VTB in respect of the Ozerkovskaya III Loan Facility. Prior to this and as Company, previously held by Africa Israel Investments Ltd, which represents 64.88% of the

As a result of the above amendments to the Loan Facility Agreements and the Guarantee beingentered into, the Board of Directors of AFI Development decided not to proceed with the Disposal transaction announced on 15 July 2016 and the loans were reclassified from short term to long term liabilities.

Management anticipates that any additional financing budgeted based on its estimated operating cash flows will be secured by new bank facilities and loans, some of which are well into negotiations with banks including VTB. Management expects to continue the construction of of

Management estimates that the Group will generate sufficient operating cash flows so as to meet the Loan Facilities interest payments. Management explores all options in relation to repaying the Loan Facilities when they fall due in 2018, which may or may not include the disposal of certain assets or projects or refinance of AFIMALL City loan. Management considers its different options and is developing a plan on how to approach the loans at maturity and secure further financing to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Considering all the above conditions and assumptions, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will be in a position to refinance or negotiate the loans at maturity, secure further financing for its project under construction and development and achieve the sales volumes and prices as budgeted to generate enough cash to cover its working capital requirements in order for the Group to be in a position to continue its operations in the foreseeable future. It is noted that no reclassifications or which may be

ii. Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and the requirements of the Companies Law of Cyprus, Cap. 113.

The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 6 April 2017.

iii. Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars which is the otherwise indicated.

3. USE OF JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements, reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.

Judgements

Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes:

  • Note 17 classification of the joint arrangements;
  • Note 36 lease classification;

Assumptions and estimation uncertainties

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the year ending 31 December 2016 is included in the following notes:

  • Note 18 valuation of land and buildings and buildings under construction
  • Note 22 valuation of trading properties
  • Note 23 valuation of trading properties under construction
  • Note 13 provision for tax liabilities
  • Note 25 recoverability of receivables
  • Note 29 utilisation of tax losses
  • Note 38 recognition and measurement of contingencies

Measurement of fair values

values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values and reports directly to the chief financial officer.

The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirely in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following notes:

  • Note 15 investment property
  • Note 16 investment property under development
  • Note 24 other investments
  • Note 27 share-based payment arrangements
  • Note 33 financial instruments.

4. STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations

As from 1 January 2016, the Group adopted all changes to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU which are relevant to its operations.

January 2016 but was not adopted by the EU as it was decided not to launch the endorsement process of this interim standard and to wait for the final standard.

The following Standards, Amendments to Standards and Interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2016. Those which may be relevant to the Company are set out below. The Company does not plan to adopt these Standards early.

Standards and Interpretations adopted by the EU

al periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). IFRS 9 replaces the existing guidance in IAS 39. IFRS 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from IAS 39.

beginning on or after 1 January 2018). IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programs.

Standards and Interpretations not adopted by the EU

on or after 1 January 2017). The amendments require disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flow and non-cash changes.

(effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017). The amendments clarify the accounting for deferred tax assets for unrealised losses on debt instruments measured at fair value.

Standards and Interpretations not adopted by the EU (continued)

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 (IFRS 12) and 1 January 2018 (IFRS 1 and IAS 28)). The annual improvements impact three standards. The amendments to IFRS 1 remove the outdated exemptions for first-time adopters of IFRS. The amendments to IFRS 12 clarify that the disclosure requirements for interest in other entities also apply to interests that are classified as held for sale or distribution. The amendments to IAS 28 clarify that the election to measure at fair value through profit or loss an investment in associate or a joint venture that is held by an entity that is a venture capital organisation, or other qualifying entity, is available for each investment in an associate or joint venture on an investment-by-investment basis, upon initial recognition.

  • (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). The amendments cover three accounting areas: a) measurement of cash-settled share-based payments; b) classification of share-based payments settled net of tax withholdings; and c) accounting for a modification of a share-based payment from cash-settled to equity-settled. The new requirements could affect the classification and/or measurements of these arrangements and potentially the timing and amount of expense recognised for new and outstanding awards.

(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). The amendments intend to address concerns about the different effective dates of IFRS 9 and the forthcoming new insurance contracts standard (expected as IFRS 17). The amendments provide two options for entities that issue insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 4: a) an option permitting entities to reclassify from profit or loss to other comprehensive income some of the income or expenses arising from designated financial assets (overlay approach) or b) an optional temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 whose predominant activity is issuing contracts within the scope of IFRS 4 (deferral approach).

beginning on or after 1 January 2018). The amendments in Clarifications to IFRS 15 address three of the five topics identified i.e. identifying performance obligations, principal versus agent considerations, and licensing. The clarifications provide some transition relief for modified contracts and completed contracts. Additionally, the IASB concluded that it was not necessary to amend IFRS 15 with respect to the collectability or measuring non-cash consideration.

Standards and Interpretations not adopted by the EU (continued)

beginning on or after 1 January 2018). The amendments clarify when a company should

transfer a property asset to, or from, investment property. A transfer is made when, and only when, there is an actual change in use i.e. an asset meets or ceases to meet the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use. A change in management intention alone does not support a transfer. In addition, it is clarified that the revised examples of evidence of a change in use in the amended version of IAS 40 are not exhaustive.

annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). The interpretation clarifies that the transaction date is the date on which the company initially recognises the prepayment or deferred income arising from the advance consideration. For transactions involving multiple payments or receipts, each payment or receipt gives rise to a separate transaction date.

IFRS 16 introduces a single, on-balance lease sheet accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. There are optional exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases. IFRS 16 replaces existing leases guidance including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

The Board of Directors expects that the adoption of the above financial reporting standards in future periods will not have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Company except of the adoption of IFRSs 9, 15 and 16 which could affect the consolidated financial statements. The extent of the impact has not been determined.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.

Non-controlling interests (NCI)

of acquisition. Subsequently the Group attributes profit or loss and each components of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) to the NCI even if this results in a deficit balance. Changes in the rol are accounted for as equity transactions.

Loss of control

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary and any related NCI and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.

Interests in equity-accounted investees

-accounted investees, comprise interests in joint ventures.

A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control, whereby the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities.

Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognised at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated -accounted investees, until the date on which joint control ceases.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equitythe investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into US Dollars at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into US Dollars at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions or average rate for the year for practical reasons. If the volatility of the exchange rates is high for a given year or period the Group uses the average rate for shorter periods i.e. quarters or months for income and expense items.

Foreign currency differences are recognised in OCI and accumulated in the translation reserve, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to NCI.

When a foreign operation is disposed of in its entirety or partially such that control or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. If the Group disposes of part of its interest in a subsidiary but retains control, then the relevant proportion of the cumulative

amount is reattributed to NCI. When the Group disposes of only part of joint venture while retaining joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

If the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, then foreign currency differences arising from such item form part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Accordingly, such differences are recognised in OCI, and accumulated in the translation reserve.

The table below shows the exchange rates of Russian Roubles which is the functional currency of the Russian subsidiaries of the Group:

Exchange rate
Russian Roubles
% Change
As of: for US\$1
31 December 2016 60.6569 (16.8)
31 December 2015 72.8827 29.5
Average rate during:
Year ended 31 December 2016 67.0349 10.0
Year ended 31 December 2015 60.9579 58.7

Financial Instruments

The Group classifies non-derivative financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables.

The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category.

Non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities-Recognition and derecognition

The Group initially recognises loans and receivables on the date when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised on the trade date when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or it neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control over the transferred asset. Any interest in such derecognised financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability.

The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Non-derivative financial assets-measurement

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and changes therein, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank, cash in hand and deposits on demand.

Loans and receivables

These assets are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Non derivative financial liabilities-measurement

Non-derivative financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Share capital

Ordinary shares

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares, net of any tax effects, are recognised as a deduction from equity.

Investment Property

Investment property is initially measured at cost and subsequently at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss.

Any gain or loss on disposal of investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit or loss. When investment property that was previously classified as property, plant and equipment is sold, any related amount included in the revaluation reserve is transferred to retained earnings.

When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied to investment property, the property is remeasured to fair value and reclassified accordingly. Any gain arising on this remeasurement is recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a previous impairment loss on the specific property, with any remaining gain recognised in OCI and presented in the revaluation reserve. Any loss is recognised in profit or loss.

When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.

Investment property under development

Property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property is classified as investment property under development and accounted for at fair value until construction or development is complete, at which time it is reclassified as investment property.

Certain development assets within the G them. Any value ascribed to such land bank projects other than their cost, would result in a gain or loss to be recognised in profit or loss. This approach was adopted due to abnormal market volatility and will be reviewed in the future once market conditions are more stable.

All costs directly related with the purchase and construction of a property, land lease payments, and all subsequent capital expenditure for the development qualifying as acquisition costs are capitalised.

Capitalisation of borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are capitalised if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in process and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Capitalisation of borrowing costs may continue until the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. If the resulting carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised. The capitalisation rate is arrived at by reference to the actual rate payable on borrowings for development purposes or, with regard to that part of the development cost financed out of general funds, to the average rate. The capitalised borrowing cost is limited to the amount of borrowing cost actually incurred.

Property, plant and equipment

Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and capitalise borrowing costs. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

All hotels are treated as property, plant and equipm their management.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.

Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.

Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the date that they are available for use, or in respect of self-constructed assets, from the date that the asset is completed and ready for use.

The annual depreciation rates for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Buildings 1-2%
Office equipment 10-33⅓%
Motor vehicles 33⅓%

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Intangible assets and goodwill

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries represents the excess of the cost of acquisition liabilities of the acquiree. When the excess is negative (negative goodwill), it is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. In respect of equityaccounted investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment, and any impairment loss is allocated to the carrying amount of the equity-accounted investee as a whole.

Trading Properties

Trading Properties are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the properties and bringing them to their existing condition. In the case of constructed trading properties, cost includes an appropriate share of direct and borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Trading properties under construction

Trading properties under construction are defined as projects in which the Group participates as a contractor or as a promoter, and which include construction work with the intention to sell the entire building as a whole or parts thereof. Each project represents one building or a group of buildings.

A group of buildings is considered one project when the buildings at the same building site are being constructed according to one building plan and under one building license, and are offered for sale at the same time. Trading properties include cost of land or of rights to the land that constitutes the relative portion of the area, on which the construction work on projects is performed, plus the cost of the work executed on the projects as well as other costs allocated thereto, less the cumulative amounts recognised in profit or loss as cost of trading properties sold up to the end of the reported period.

Direct costs and expenses are charged to projects on a specific basis, whereas borrowing costs are allocated among the projects based on the relative proportion of the costs. Non-specific borrowing costs are capitalised to such qualifying asset, or portion thereof which was not financed with specific credit, by weighted-average rate of the borrowing cost up to the amount of borrowing cost actually incurred. Where the estimated expenses for a building project indicate that a loss is expected, an appropriate provision is set up. Buildings that are under construction are classified as trading properties under construction on the statement of financial position.

Inventory of real estate

non-current ass normal operating cycle. It is presented at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Deferred income

Income received in advance is classified under non-current and current liabilities as deferred income and comprise rental income received for future periods and amounts received in advance for the sale of trading properties, for which recognition of revenue has not yet commenced.

Impairment

Non-derivative financial assets

Financial assets not classified as at fair value through profit or loss, including an interest in equity-accounted investee are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment.

Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes:

  • default or delinquency by a debtor;
  • restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise;
  • indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy;
  • adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers;
  • the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties; or
  • observable data indicating that there is a measureable decrease in the expected cash flows from a group of financial assets.

For an investment in an equity security, objective evidence of impairment includes a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost.

Financial assets measured at amortised cost

The Group considers evidence of impairment for these assets at both an individual asset and a collective level. All individually significant assets are individually assessed for impairment. Those found not to be impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet individually identified. Assets that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment. Collective assessment is carried out by grouping together assets with similar risks characteristics.

In assessing collective impairment, the Group uses historical information on the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, and makes an adjustment if current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or lesser than suggested by historical trends.

An impairment interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account. When the Group considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, then the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

Equity-accounted investees

An impairment loss in respect of an equity-accounted investee is measured by comparing the recoverable amount of the investment with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, and is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

Non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than investment property, investment property under development, VAT recoverable, inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets.

The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount and recognised in profit or loss.

An impairment exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

Assets held for sale

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held-for sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use.

Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rate basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets, employee benefit assets, investment property or investment property under development, which continue to be measured classification as held-for-sale or held-for-distribution and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.

Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated and any equity-accounted investee is no longer equity accounted.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Share-based payment transactions

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment options granted to employees is generally recognised as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the options. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest.

The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of share appreciation rights, which are settled in cash, is recognised as an expense, with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to payment. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at settlement date based on the fair value of share appreciation rights. Any changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss.

Provisions

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.

Revenue

Sale of trading properties

Revenue from sale of trading properties is recognised in profit or loss when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer.

Construction Management fee

Revenue from construction management is recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed.

Investment Property Rental income

Rental income from investment property is recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.

Hotel operation income

Income from hotel operations comprises of accommodation, treatments and other services offered at the hotels operated by the group and sales of food and beverages and are recognised upon offering of the service and the acceptance by the client.

Gross Profit

of all cost for trading properties sold and operating, administrative and other expenses, recognised in profit or loss during the year.

Finance income and finance costs

Finance income include interest income on funds invested and net gain on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.

Finance costs include interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions and deferred consideration, net loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and impairment losses recognised on financial assets.

Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method, net of interest capitalised.

Foreign currency gain or loss on financial assets and financial liabilities is reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance cost depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position.

Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in OCI.

Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax also includes any tax arising from dividends.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the taxation authority permits the entity to make or receive a single net ancial statements, a current tax asset of one entity in the group is offset against a current tax liability of another entity in the group if, and only if, the entities concerned have a legally enforceable right to make or receive a single net payment and the entities intend to make or receive such a net payment or to recover the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Deferred tax is not recognised for temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on business plans for individual subsidiaries in the Group. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For this purpose the carrying amount of investment property measured at fair value is presumed to be recovered through sale and the Group has not rebutted this presumption.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if, and only if, the entity has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax liabilities and assets; and the deferred tax liabilities and assets relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities, but these entities intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously for each future period in which these differences reverse.

The provision for taxation either current or deferred is based on the tax rate applicable to the country of residence of each subsidiary.

Discontinued operations

of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which:

  • represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;
  • is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations; or
  • is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to re-sale.

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale.

When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit or loss and OCI is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.

Earnings per share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to the owners of the Company and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options granted to employees.

Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to rces to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

6. OPERATING SEGMENTS

strategic business units. The strategic business units offer different types of real estate products and services and are managed separately because they require different marketing strategies as management reviews internal management reports on at least monthly basis. The following summary describes

  • Development Projects-Residential projects: Include construction and selling of residential properties.
  • Asset Management: Includes the operation of investment property for lease or sale.
  • Hotel Operation: Includes the ownership and operation of Hotels
  • Land bank: Includes the investment in and holding of property for future development.
  • Other: Includes the management services provided for the projects

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment profit before income tax, as included in the internal management reports that ar performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. Intersegment pricing is determined on s length basis.

Investment property comprises mainly retail and commercial property which is operated by the Group and is leased out to tenants.

The investment property was revalued by independent appraisers on 31 December 2016. The

The increase/(decrease) due to the effect of the foreign exchange rates is a result of the weakening of the US Dollar to the Russian Rouble by 17%, during 2016 (2015: strengthening 30%).

The main reason for the fair value loss are market driven changes in the valuation assumptions reflecting the continuing pressure on rental rates per square metre. In the retail segment the increasing switch of retail rents to roubles in most shopping centres has also undermined market rents. At the AFIMALL there was a divergence between the existing and new leases, with significant discounts having to be offered to lease currently vacant space, compared with higher rental rates agreed with the existing tenants. In 2016 a number of existing leases expired and were prolonged at lower base rental rates reflecting discounts, which influenced negatively the h decreasing the amount of discounts provided in the end the same net income. In the office segment the process of switching rents from US dollars to roubles continued, however market rental rates remained stable while overall vacancy rates slightly decreased.

Measurement of fair value

Fair value hierarchy

The fair value of investment property was determined by external, registered independent property appraisers, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued. The independent The same applies for investment property under development in note 16.

The fair value measurement for investment property of US\$915,350 thousand (2015: US\$933,700 thousand) has been categorised as a level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation technique used.

21. VAT RECOVERABLE

Represents VAT paid on construction costs and expenses which according to the Russian VAT law can be recovered upon completion of the construction. Part of this VAT is expected to be recovered after more than 12 months from the balance sheet date. Due to the uncertainties in the Russian tax and VAT law, the management has assessed the recoverability of this VAT and has provided for any amounts that their recoverability was deemed doubtful or questionable (see note 11). Under Russian VAT legislation, VAT can also be claimed during the period of construction provided that all required documentation is presented to the VAT authorities. The Group was successful in recovering VAT during the year, and it is estimated that part of the VAT recoverable as at the year-end will be recovered within the next 12 months, which is classified as trade and other receivables, note 25.

Eligible are employees and directors, excluding independent directors, of the Company. The employees share option plan is discretionary and options will be granted only when the Board so determines at an exercise price derived from the closing middle market price preceding the date of grant.

As of 31 December 2016 the following options were outstanding:

  • During 2007 and 2008 options over GDRs with an exercise price of US\$7 which have already vested, one-third on the second anniversary of the date of grant, a further onethird on the third anniversary and the remaining one-third, on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant provided that the participants remained in employment until the vesting date. The vesting was not subject to any performance conditions. On 31 December 2015 1,017,240 options, 0.1% of the issued share capital, were outstanding which have already vested and have a contractual life of ten years from the date of grant.
  • On 21 May 2012, the Board of Directors approved the grant of additional options to capital, were granted with an exercise price equal to US\$0.7208, vesting one-third on the second anniversary of the date of grant, a further one-third on the third anniversary and the remaining one-third, on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant provided that the participants remain in employment until the vesting date. The vesting is not subject to any performance conditions. Their contractual life is five years from the date of grant.

In the event of a takeover, reorganisation or winding up vested options may be exercised or exchanged for new equivalent options where appropriate. Shares/GDRs issued under the plan will rank equally with all other shares at the time of issue. The Board of Directors may satisfy, (with the consent of the participant), an option by paying the participant in cash or other assets the gain as an alternative of issuing and transferring the shares/GDRs.

28. LOANS AND BORROWINGS

a.The outstanding loans on 31 December 2016 comprise of two loans as follows:

AFIMALL City Loan Facility

subsidiary, Bellgate Construction Ltd ("Bellgate"). This loan facility agreement offered a credit line totalling RUR 21 billion, which was drawn down in 5 tranches, each with a designated purpose: the majority of the funds were designated to refinance existing loans previously issued by the Bank. The remaining funds were designated for the refinancing of construction costs related to the AFIMALL City parking and for the financing of the outstanding payments constituting part of the consideration for the acquisition of the parking.

The Company had discretion over the currency of each tranche, and the credit line was drawn down 65% in US dollars and 35% in Russian roubles. The loan facility has differentiated interest rates which are currency dependent: 9.5% for loans drawn down in Russian roubles and 3 months LIBOR plus 5.02% (6.7% up to 2/9/2013) for loans drawn down in US dollars.

Based on the loan agreement the interest on the loans is payable on a quarterly basis, throughout the term of the credit line. Bellgate has undertaken to make equal quarterly payments of US\$6.5 million from 2014 to 2016, on account of the principal of the loans, while it has been agreed that the remainder of the loan will mature in April 2018.

The terms of the loan facility agreement are substantially similar to those of the loan facility agreement entered into in February 2012 with the Bank in relation to the financing of the acquisition of the AFIMALL City parking. However, certain conditions of the new loan facility will differ from the aforementioned loan, including the following:

  • a) The guarantee of AFI Development Plc over the obligations of Bellgate under the loan facility agreement will be in the amount of US\$1 million, the nominal value of Bellgate's shares;
  • b) Additional mortgage over the premises of "Aquamarine" Hotel will be registered in favour of the Bank. This shall be removed in the case that Bellgate redeems US\$20 million of principal;
  • c) Additional guarantee will be provided to the Bank by Semprex LLC, a Russian company which is an indirect subsidiary of AFI Development Plc, and owner of the "Aquamarine" Hotel. This shall be removed in the case that Bellgate redeems US\$20 million of principal;
  • d) The turnover covenant has been changed from monthly bank accounts turnovers of not less than RUR 200 million to quarterly revenues (including VAT) exceeding agreed thresholds, determined as amounts gradually increasing from RUR 651 million for Q3 2012 to the amount of RUR1,139 million for Q1 2018. The penalty for not meeting the covenant is changed from 1% additional interest for the next month to 0.5% additional interest for the next quarter.

The loan facility agreement contains other generally acceptable terms, such as the borrower undertaking to maintain the aggregate value of the pledged assets, securing the loan facility, providing the lender with periodic reporting and similar common conditions.

As of 31 December 2016, Bellgate is in compliance with the covenants of this loan.

Ozerkovskaya III loan facility

On 25 January 2013, loan from VTB Bank JSC ("the Bank") for refinancing the repayment of borrowings due to related parties. This loan agreement offers a credit line of US\$220 million, which was drawn down during the first quarter of 2013. The agreed interest is three-month LIBOR plus 5.7% p.a., payable every quarter. The loan repayment date was originally in 731 days from the date of signing the loan agreement. Securities provided to the Bank are on the 100% of the shares of Krown and on properties/buildings of Ozerkovskaya (Aquamarine) phase III. A decrease in the market value of the pledged buildings by more than 15% will enable the bank to demand repayment of the loan before the agreed maturity date. In case of disposal of the pledged building, at least 70% of sale proceeds should be directed to the Bank for the repayment of the loan.

An amount of US\$15 million was repaid during 2013 out of the proceeds from sale of Building 1 of the Ozerkovskaya (Aquamarine) phase III.

In January 2015, prior to maturity, the subsidiary signed an addendum to the loan facility agreement with the Bank, extending the term of the loan to 26 January 2018. In addition to extending the term of the loan, the new addendum amended the payment schedule, interest rate conditions and introduced new covenants. The payment schedule anticipated repayments of the principal starting from from January 2015. In line with the addendum, on 26th January 2015 Krown paid US\$10 million to the Bank, being a partial repayment of the outstanding loan amount, thus reducing the total to US\$195 million. Approximately 90% of the principal is to be paid at maturity.

Based on the independent valuation as at 31 December 2015, of the Ozerkovskaya III project, Krown, has not met the Loan to Value covenant and the Bank had the right to require a partial repayment of the principal of the loan sufficient to rectify the breach of the covenants, within 90 calendar days from the date of the Bank notification. The DSCR ratio covenant of the Krown loan agreement has not been met either, based on the performance results of Q4 2015. Krown was, therefore, in breach of both covenants in its loan facility agreement. Based on this, the total amount of the outstanding loan (US\$192 million) was reclassified to current liabilities as at 31 December 2015.

ned with VTB Bank on 27 September 2016.

Facility pursuant to which:

  • (i) the existing covenants (being the debt service coverage ratio and the loan to value covenants) which Krown is currently in breach of, have been removed;
  • (ii) all quarterly principal payments due under the facility including the quarterly principal payment due on 30 June 2016 and which has not been paid, will be deferred to maturity, being 26 January 2018; and
  • (iii) the Company will provide additional security to VTB in consideration of the above.

All other terms of the facility, including interest payments, remain the same.

Pursuant to the additional security, a new share pledge by the Company over 100% of the share capital of Bellgate has been entered into with VTB (the "Bellgate Share Pledge"). The Bellgate Share Pledge continues to cover the obligations of Bellgate pursuant to the AFIMALL City Loan Facility (with any liability arising now being satisfied by, inter alia, the transfer of the pledged shares to VTB), and now also covers the obligations of Krown in respect of the Ozerkovskaya III Loan Facility. In addition, within 60 calendar days of this addendum, the Company and VTB executed the following agreements which will provide additional security, being a:

  • Share pledge agreement over 100% of the share capital of each of Titon LLC (which holds the Company's interest in the Kossinskaya project) and Semprex LLC (which holds the Company's interest in the Aquamarine Hotel);
  • Mortgage agreement over the Kossinskaya project;
  • Suretyship agreements with each of Titon LLC, Rognestar Finance Limited (the parent company of Titon LLC), Bellgate, Semprex LLC and Aquamare Tre Ltd (the parent company of Semprex LLC) for the full amount of the Ozerkovskaya III Loan Facility;
  • Second ranking mortgage agreement over AFIMALL City and the Aquamarine Hotel; and
  • Pledge agreement over the equipment used to operate the Kossinskaya project.

shopping and entertainment centre in Moscow City, the business district of Moscow, and VTB have signed on 27 September 2016 an addendum to the AFIMALL City Loan Facility pursuant to which:

  • (i) all quarterly principal payments due under the facility, including the quarterly principal payment due on 30 June 2016 and which has not been paid, will be deferred to maturity, being 1 April 2018; and
  • (ii) the Company will provide additional security to VTB in consideration of the above.

All other terms of the facility, including covenants and interest payments, remain the same.

Within 60 calendar days of this addendum, the Company and VTB also executed the following agreements:

  • Second ranking pledge agreement over 100% of the share capital of each of Krown and Titon LLC (which holds the Kossinskaya project);
  • Pledge agreement over 100% of the share capital of each of Semprex LLC and AFI FM LLC (the property management company for the AFIMALL City Shopping Centre);
  • Suretyship agreements with each of Krown, AFI FM LLC, Inscribe Limited (parent company of AFI FM LLC), Titon LLC, Rognestar Finance Limited and Aquamare Tre Ltd for the full amount of the AFIMALL City Loan Facility;
  • Second ranking mortgage agreement over each of the Ozerkovskaya III project and the Kossinskaya project; and
  • Second ranking pledge agreement over the equipment used to for operate the Kossinskaya project.

The Guarantee and New Loan

In addition to the addendum to the Loan Facility Agreements described above, Mr Leviev has, on the same date, provided VTB with the Guarantee, being a personal guarantee and indemnity deed under English law from Mr Leviev to VTB, pursuant to which Mr Leviev has undertaken to guarantee, for a period of 10 months, the obligations of Krown under the Ozerkovskaya III Loan Facility. The Guarantee, which is enforceable for 12 months, provides additional security to VTB in respect of the Ozerkovskaya III Loan Facility.

Should VTB enforce the Guarantee, the payment by Mr Leviev of any amounts under the Guarantee will lead to a discharge of Krown's respective payment obligations under the Ozerkovskaya III Loan Facility and any such payment made by Mr Leviev to VTB under the Guarantee will be deemed the granting of a new loan between the Company and Mr Leviev (the "New Loan"). If, as a result of the enforcement of the Guarantee, the Ozerkovskaya III Loan Facility is repaid in full by Mr Leviev, all claims of VTB under the security documents in respect of Krown's secured obligations under the Ozerkovskaya III Loan Facility will fall away.

The New Loan will accordingly only become effective in the event that VTB enforces the Guarantee and Mr Leviev makes a payment to VTB. The New Loan, if drawn, would be unsecured, accrue interest at an annual rate of 7% plus three month LIBOR payable quarterly, be a maximum amount of US\$220 million, being equal to the maximum value of the Ozerkovskaya III Loan Facility, and repayable in full on or before 26 January 2018. The interest rate and maturity date of the New Loan are the same as the Ozerkovskaya III Loan Facility.

As a result of the above amendments to the Loan Facility Agreements and the Guarantee being entered into the loans were reclassified from short term to long term liabilities.

The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by investing only in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have a high credit rating. Management actively monitors credit ratings and given that the Group only has invested in securities with high credit ratings, management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Group held cash at bank of US\$10,356 thousand at 31 December 2016 (2015: US\$26,374). The cash and cash equivalents are held with bank and financial institution counterparties with a high credit rating. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.

The Group has no other significant concentrations of credit risk. Although collection of receivables could be influenced by economic factors, management believes that there is no significant risk of loss to the Group.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest ldings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which loans receivable, sales, purchases of material and construction services and borrowings are denominated and the respective functional currencies of Group companies. The functional currencies of Group companies are primarily the Russian Roubles and US Dollars. The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are Russian Roubles, US Dollars and Euro.

Sensitivity analysis

The following shows the magnitude of changes in respect of a number of major factors -end figures.

A 10% strengthening of the Russian Rubble, US dollar or Euro against all other currencies at 31 December would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below.

This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales, purchases of material and construction services. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2015.

A 10% weakening of the Russian Rubble, US dollar or Euro against all other currencies at 31 December 2015 would have the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. ment monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly

An increase of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased/ (decreased) equity and profit for the year by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2015.

The primary responsibility for the development and implementation of controls to address operational risk is assigned to senior management within each business unit. This responsibility is supported by the development of overall Group standards for the management of operational risk in the following areas:

  • requirements for appropriate segregation of duties, including the independent authorisation of transactions
  • requirements for the reconciliation and monitoring of transactions
  • compliance with regulatory and other legal requirements
  • documentation of controls and procedures
  • requirements for the periodic assessment of operational risks faced, and the adequacy of controls and procedures to address the risks identified
  • requirements for the reporting of operational losses and proposed remedial action
  • development of contingency plans
  • training and professional development
  • ethical and business standards
  • risk mitigation, including insurance where this is effective.

Compliance with Group standards is supported by a programme of periodic reviews undertaken by Internal Audit. The results of Internal Audit reviews are discussed with the management of the business unit to which they relate, with summaries submitted to the Audit Committee and senior management of the Group.

Russian Business Environment

is exposed to the economic and financial markets of the Russian Federation which display characteristics of an emerging market. The legal, tax and regulatory frameworks continue development, but are subject to varying interpretations and frequent changes which together with other legal and fiscal impediments contribute to the challenges faced by entities operating in the Russian Federation.

The conflict in Ukraine and related events has increased the perceived risks of doing business in the Russian Federation. The imposition of economic sanctions on Russian individuals and legal entities by the European Union, the United States of America, Japan, Canada, Australia and others, as well as retaliatory sanctions imposed by the Russian government, has resulted in increased economic uncertainty including more volatile equity markets, a depreciation of the Russian Rouble, a reduction in both local and foreign direct investment inflows and a significant tightening in the availability of credit. In particular, some Russian entities may be experiencing difficulties in accessing international equity and debt markets and may become increasingly dependent on Russian state banks to finance their operations. The longer term effects of recently implemented sanctions, as well as the threat of additional future sanctions, are difficult to determine.

Taxation contingencies in the Russian Federation

The taxation system in the Russian Federation continues to evolve and is characterised by frequent changes in legislation, official pronouncements and court decisions, which are sometimes contradictory and subject to varying interpretation by different tax authorities.

Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities, which have the authority to impose severe fines, penalties and interest charges. A tax year generally remains open for review by the tax authorities during the three subsequent calendar years. Recent events within the Russian Federation suggest that the tax authorities are taking a more assertive and substance-based position in their interpretation and enforcement of tax legislation.

Transfer pricing legislation enacted in the Russian Federation starting from 1 January 2012 provides for major modifications making local transfer pricing rules closer to OECD guidelines, but creating additional uncertainty in practical application of tax legislation in certain circumstances.

These transfer pricing rules provide for an obligation for the taxpayers to prepare transfer pricing documentation with respect to controlled transactions and prescribe the basis and mechanisms for accruing additional taxes and interest in case prices in the controlled transactions differ from the market level.

The transfer pricing rules apply to cross-border transactions between related parties, as well as to certain cross-border transactions between independent parties, as determined under the Russian Tax Code (no threshold is set for the purposes of prices control in such transactions). In addition, the rules apply to in-country transactions between related parties if the accumulated annual volume of the transactions between the same parties exceeds a particular threshold (RUB 1 billion in 2014 and thereon).

basis of unjustified tax benefit concept.

In addition, a number of new laws introducing changes to the Russian tax legislation have been recently adopted. In particular, starting from 1 January 2015 changes aimed at regulating tax consequences of transactions with foreign companies and their activities were introduced, such as concept of beneficial ownership of income, taxation of controlled foreign companies, tax

additional tax risks going forward. This legislation and practice of its application is still evolving and the impact of legislative changes should be considered based on the actual circumstances.

All these circumstances may create tax risks in the Russian Federation that are substantially more significant than in other countries. Management believes that it has provided adequately for tax liabilities based on its interpretations of applicable Russian tax legislation, official pronouncements and court decisions. However, the interpretations of the tax authorities and courts, especially due to reform of the supreme courts that are resolving tax disputes, could differ and the effect on these consolidated financial statements, if the authorities were successful in enforcing their interpretations, could be significant.

The ownership of land in the Russian Federation is rare and especially within Moscow region, in which all of the property with only a few exceptions, is owned by the City of Moscow. The majority of land is occupied by private entities pursuant to lease agreements between occupants, of the building located on the land, and the City of Moscow. The Group has several long-term operating leases for land. These leases are entered into with the intention and right to develop the land and carry out construction. Typically they run for an initial period of one to five years which is the period of development and upon completion of development the developer has the right to renew for a long term period of usually up to 49 years. Under both leases the lessee is required to make periodic lease payments, generally on a quarterly basis to the City of Moscow.

There is also the option of long term land lease prior to commencement of construction which the developer can acquire with a lump sum payment that is determined from time to time by the City of Moscow and is based on the size of the land, its location and the proximity to amenities. The Group has two such land rights and they run for period of 49 years.

2. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, as detailed in note 2(i) of the consolidated financial statements.

(ii) Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap.113.

Users of these parent's separate financial statements should read them together with the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2016 in order to obtain a proper understanding of the financial position, the financial performance and the cash flows of the Company and the Group.

(iii) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except in the case of investments, which are stated at cost less provision for impairment in value and receivables which are stated after the provision for impairment.

  • IF

The Board of Directors expects that the adoption of the above financial reporting standards in future periods will not have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Company.

(v) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may deviate from such estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

In particular, information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below:

Income taxes

Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Impairment of investments in subsidiaries

The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of investments in subsidiaries whenever indicators of impairment are present. Indicators of impairment include such items as declines in revenues, earnings or cash flows or material adverse changes in the economic or political stability of a particular country, which may indicate that the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable. If facts and circumstances indicate that investment in subsidiaries may be impaired, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with these subsidiaries would be compared to their carrying amounts to determine if a write-down to fair value is necessary.

(vi) Functional and presentation currency

functional currency. All financial information presented in United States Dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand, except when otherwise indicated.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements and in stating the financial position of the Company.

Subsidiary companies

Investments in subsidiary companies are stated at cost less provision for impairment in value, which is recognised as an expense in the period in which the impairment is identified.

Finance income and finance costs

Finance income comprises interest income on bank deposits. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings. Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance cost depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position.

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the Company's financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The financial statements are presented in United States Dollars, rounded to the nearest thousand, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year

end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Revenue

Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established i.e. dividends are declared and approved by the investee companies.

Tax

Tax liabilities and assets for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted, or substantively enacted, by the reporting date. Current tax includes any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous periods.

Dividends

Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognised in the Company's financial statements in the year in which they are approved by the Company's shareholders.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

(i) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank.

(ii) Borrowings

Borrowings are recorded initially at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any differences between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

  • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
  • the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass through' arrangement; or
  • the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment of assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements, and the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the statement of financial position.

Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented separately in the statement of financial position costs to sell.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The difference between the fair value of the consideration received by the Company and the nominal value of the share capital being issued is taken to the share premium account.

Non-current liabilities

Non-current liabilities represent amounts that are due more than twelve months from the reporting date.

Comparatives

Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current year.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial risk factors

The Company is exposed to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

  • credit risk
  • liquidity risk
  • market risk

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework.

The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises when a failure by counter parties to discharge their obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets on hand at the reporting date. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk. Cash balances are held with high credit quality financial institutions and the Company has policies to limit the amount of credit exposure to any financial institution.

Trade and other receivables

The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The main components of this allowance are a

specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures and a collective loss component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that have been incurred but not yet identified.

Cash and cash equivalents

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents. Cash transactions are limited to high-creditquality financial institutions. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.

Guarantees

-owned subsidiaries. In negotiations with lending banks, the Company aims to avoid recourse to AFI Development on loans taken by subsidiaries.

As at 31 December 2016, there were two outstanding guarantees: one for the amount of US\$1 million in favour of VTB Bank PJSC under a loan facility agreement of Bellgate Construction Limited (AFIMALL City) and the second for the amount of US\$192 million, also in favour of VTB Bank PJSC, under a loan facility agreement of Krown Investments LLC (Ozerkovskaya III).

In February 2017, AFI Development provided an additional guarantee in favour of VTB Bank PJSC for the loan amounting to US\$22.5 million, taken by its subsidiary Sanatory Plaza LLC to finance the acquisition of the 50% stake in the Plaza Spa Kislovodsk project (including repayment of debt under this loan are entered into and registered, expected by the end of April 2017.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that arises when the maturity of assets and liabilities does not match. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability, but can also increase the risk of losses. The Company has procedures with the object of minimising such losses such as maintaining sufficient cash and other highly liquid current assets and by having available an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. The Company's management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Company's measurement currency. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to the Euro and the Russian Rouble. The Company's management monitors the exchange rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly.

Capital management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while increasing the return to shareholders through the strive to improve the debt equity ratio. The Company's overall strategy remains unchanged from last year.

Federation. Consequently, the Group is exposed to the economic and financial markets of the Russian Federation which display characteristics of an emerging market. The legal, tax and regulatory frameworks continue development, but are subject to varying interpretations and frequent changes which together with other legal and fiscal impediments contribute to the challenges faced by entities operating in the Russian Federation.

The conflict in Ukraine and related events has increased the perceived risks of doing business in the Russian Federation. The imposition of economic sanctions on Russian individuals and legal entities by the European Union, the United States of America, Japan, Canada, Australia and others, as well as retaliatory sanctions imposed by the Russian government, has resulted in increased economic uncertainty including more volatile equity markets, a depreciation of the Russian Rouble, a reduction in both local and foreign direct investment inflows and a significant tightening in the availability of credit. In particular, some Russian entities may be experiencing difficulties in accessing international equity and debt markets and may become increasingly dependent on Russian state banks to finance their operations. The longer term effects of recently implemented sanctions, as well as the threat of additional future sanctions, are difficult to determine.

Continuation of the above-mentioned events, and/or an increase in the severity thereof, could ata appearing in the financial statements, among others, as follows:

  • An unfavourable impact on the revenues due to a decline in the demand in the commercial sector and residential sector;
  • An increase in the costs with respect to its activities in Russia;
  • A decrease in the value of the real estate properties as a result of the decrease in the revenues and/or an increase in the risk premium in the economy and, in turn, an increase in the discount rate taken into account when determining the value;
  • An increase in the financing expenses and/or an adverse impact on the available sources of financing;
  • From an accounting standpoint, a devaluation of the ruble could have a negative

ent

The Company is monitoring the economic developments in Russia, in general, and in the real estate market, in particular. It is noted that due to the uncertainty prevailing in light of the events described above, the Company is reviewing the development plans and timetables of a number of its projects. Due to the inability to predict the duration or the manner of the future development of political and economic events, the Company is not able, at this stage, to estimate the future impact of these matters on its Russian subsidiaries.

15. FAIR VALUES

The fair values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts at the reporting date.

16. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company had no contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2016.

17. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

Subsequent to 31 December 2016 there were no events that took place which have a bearing on the understanding of these financial statements except of the following:

  • In February 2017, AFI Development Plc announced that its subsidiary, Sanatory Plaza project, which was completed on 28 February 2017.

Other Information

The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, except as required by the Companies Law, Cap.113.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors for the consolidated financial statements and the separate financial statements

The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS-EU and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements and the separate financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is intention to either liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

separate financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and the separate financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, r opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also o:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements and the separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company s and Group's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Director s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company s and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and the separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of

and the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements and the separate financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Board of Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the separate financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
