2. Functional and presentation currencies
The functional currency of GTC S.A. and most of its subsidiaries is Euro. The functional currency of some of GTC’s subsidiaries is other than Euro (Europort/Ukraine/USD). The financial statements of those companies prepared in their functional currencies are included in the consolidated financial statements by a translation into Euro using appropriate exchange rates outlined in IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. Assets and liabilities are translated at the period end exchange rate, while income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period. All resulting exchange differences are classified in equity as “Foreign currency translation” without affecting earnings for the period.
3. Basis of preparation and statement of compliance
The Company maintains its books of account in accordance with accounting principles and practices employed by enterprises in Poland as required by the Polish accounting regulations. The companies outside Poland maintain their books of account in accordance with local GAAP. The consolidated financial statements include a number of adjustments not included in the books of account of the Group entities, which were made in order to bring the financial statements of those entities to conformity with IFRS. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS”) as adopted by the EU („EU IFRS"). At the date of authorisation of these consolidated financial statements, taking into account the EU IFRS's ongoing process of IFRS endorsement and the nature of the Group's activities, there is no relevant difference between IFRS applying to these consolidated financial statements and IFRS endorsed by the European Union.
4. Going concern
The Group’s policies and processes are aimed at managing the Group’s capital, financial and liquidity risks on a sound basis. The Group meets its day to day working capital requirements through the generation of operating cash-flows from rental income. Further details of liquidity risks and capital management processes are described in note 35. As of 31 December 2020, the Group’s net working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) was positive and amounted to Euro 80,918. The management has analysed the timing, nature and scale of potential financing needs of particular subsidiaries and believes that there are not risks for paying current financial liabilities and cash on hand, as well as, expected operating cash-flows will be sufficient to fund the Group’s anticipated cash requirements for working capital purposes, for at least the next twelve months from the balance sheet date. Consequently, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group companies will continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future, for at least 12 months from the balance sheet date. With reference to the Covid-19 outbreak, the management has prepared and analysed the cash flow budget based on certain hypothetical defensive assumptions to assess the reasonableness of the going concern assumption in view of the current developments on the market. This analysis assumed certain loans repayment acceleration, negative impact on net operating income (“NOI”) as well as other offsetting measures, which the management may take to mitigate the risks, including deferring the development activity and retention of profit by the Company and allocate it to the reserve/supplementary capital.

Based on management’s analysis, the current cash liquidity of the Company and prepared cash flow budget assumptions, the management concluded that there is no material uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future i.e. at least in the next 12 months. Please refer to note 36 for further information on Covid-19 effects and the management’s considerations and judgements.
5. Accounting policies

- (a) The change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;
- (b) The reduction is lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021; and

- New standards and interpretations that have been issued (continued)
- (c) There are is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.
Rent concessions that satisfy these criteria may be accounted for in accordance with the practical expedient, which means the lessee does not assess whether the rent concession meets the definition of a lease modification.

7. Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for completed investment properties, investment property under construction (“IPUC”) if the certain condition described in note 7(c) ii are met, share based payments, and derivative financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.
(b) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Plant and equipment consist of vehicles and equipment. Plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Reassessment of the useful life and indications for impairment is done each quarter.
The following depreciation rates have been applied:
| Depreciation rates |
|---|
| Equipment |
| Buildings |
| Vehicles |
| 7-20 % |
| 2 % |
| 20 % |
Assets under construction other than investment property are shown at cost. The direct costs paid to subcontractors for the improvement of the property are capitalised into construction in progress. Capitalised costs also include borrowing costs, planning, and design costs, construction overheads, and other related costs. Assets under construction are not depreciated.
(c) INVESTMENT PROPERTIES
Investment property comprises a land plot or a building or a part of a building held to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation and property that is being constructed or developed for future use as an investment property (investment property under construction). Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time the cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met and excludes the costs of day-to- day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value. Any gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of investment property is recognized in the profit or loss for the year in which it arose, after accounting for the related impact on deferred tax.
(i) Completed Investment properties
Investment properties are stated at fair value according to the fair value model, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date Completed investment properties were externally valued by independent appraisers as of 31 December 2020 and 2019 based on open market values (RICS Standards). Completed properties are either valued on the basis of discounted cash flow (DCF) or - as deemed appropriate – on the basis of the Income capitalisation or yield method. The applied method is defined by the valuer.
Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use, and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in the income statement in the year of retirement or disposal. Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by the end of owner occupation or commencement of an operating lease. Transfers are made from investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by commencement of owner occupation or commencement of development with a view to sale.
(ii) Investment property under construction (“IPUC”)
The Group revalues IPUC based on its fair value, once a substantial part of the development risks have been eliminated. IPUC, for which this is not the case, is presented at the lower of cost or recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is a fair value, externally valued by independent appraisers. The land is reclassified to IPUC at the moment, at which active development of this land begins (i.e. when construction works start)
The Group has adopted the following criteria to assess whether the substantial risks are eliminated with regard to particular IPUC:
* agreement with a general contractor is signed;
* a building permit is obtained;
* at least 20% of the rentable area is leased to tenants (based on the signed lease agreements and letters of intent);
* external financing is secured.
The fair values of IPUC were determined as at their development stage at the end of the reporting period. Valuations were performed in accordance with RICS and IVSC Valuation Standards using the residual method approach. The future assets’ value is estimated based on the expected future income from the project, using yields that are higher than the current yields of the similar completed property. The remaining expected costs to completion are deducted from the estimated future assets value.
For projects where the completion is expected in the future, also a developer profit margin of unexecuted works was deducted from the value. The profit margin deducted is reduced when the construction is closer to completion.
(d) HIERARCHY OF INVESTMENT PROPERTY
Fair value hierarchy is based on the sourced of input used to estimate the fair value:
* Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,
* Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly,
* Level 3: techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
All investment properties are categorized in Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Group considered all investment value under construction carried at fair value as properties categorized in Level 3. The Group considered completed investment properties as properties categorize in Level 2 or Level 3, based on the liquidity in the market it operates. The Group applied the simplified classification rules of the IP fair value hierarchy based on the two main criteria: the type of investment property (retail/office) and, mainly, its location. The fair value measurement of completed investment property is based on the market assumptions made by the independent appraisers. Those assumptions depend on the observable market transactions. For more mature and active markets – like e.g. Poland, Hungary, and Romania, with a relevant number of comparative transactions, we classify the properties to level 2. The other markets provide few observable data, and the relevant properties are classified to level 3.
(e) INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATES
Investment in associates is accounted for under the equity method. The investment is carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Group share of net assets of the associate.
(f) INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES
Investment in joint ventures is accounted for under the equity method. The investment is carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Group share of net assets of the joint ventures.
(g) LEASE ORIGINATION COSTS
The costs incurred to originate a lease (mainly brokers’ fees) for available rental space are added to the carrying value of investment property until the date of revaluation of the related investment property to its fair value. If as of the date of revaluation, the carrying value is higher than the fair value, the costs are recognized in the profit or loss.
(h) NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Non-current assets and their disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This requirement can be fulfilled only if the occurrence of a sale transaction is highly probable and the item of assets is available for immediate sale in its present condition. The classification of an asset as held for sale assumes the intent of the entity’s management to realise the transaction of sale within one year from the moment of asset classification to the held for sale category. Non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value, less costs to sell.
(i) ADVANCES RECEIVED
Advances received (related to pre-sales of residential units) are deferred to the extent that they are not reflected as revenue as described below in note 7(j).
(j) RENTAL REVENUE
Rental revenues result from operating leases and are recognised as income over the lease term on a straight-line basis.# Globe Trade Centre S.A.

(k) INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME
Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method that is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life of financial instruments to the net carrying amount of the underlying financial asset or liability. Dividend income is recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive payments is established.
(l) CONTRACT REVENUE AND COSTS RECOGNITION
Group has the following revenue streams:
* Rental income. The main source of income of the Group, which is charged to tenants on a monthly basis, based on rent fee rate agreed in the contract.
* Service charge represents fees paid by the tenants of the Group’s investment properties to cover the costs of the services provided by the Group in relation to their leases. Service charge is billed on a monthly basis, based on service fee rate agreed in the contract, which represents the best estimate for a particular project. Allocation of service charge to tenants is done based on the leased area. Heating, water, and sewage are billed separately on a monthly basis, based on leased area and rates agreed in the contract.
Rental income revenue under IFRS 15. Rental income revenue is recognised under IFRS 15 when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
* Acting as a principal. The Group bills the tenants on a monthly basis, based on rent fee rate agreed in the contract.
Service charge revenue under IFRS 15. Service charge revenue is recognised under IFRS 15 when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Group recognizes two kinds of performance obligations in the Group:
* Acting as an agent. Some tenants install counters for electricity. In this case, the invoices for electricity are billed through GTC entities and addressed to the tenants directly. The Group recognizes cost and corresponding income at the same amount. For financial statement purposes such income and expenses are disclosed on a net basis, as GTC acts as an agent.

- Acting as a principal. In the other cases, all service charges are billed to GTC entities on a monthly basis. The Group bills the tenants based on the rates in the contract on a monthly basis. By the end of the year, the Group does reconciliation of actual service charges costs vs. billed one, and then bill for deficit or return the overpayment to the tenant if it is required. For financial statement purposes such expenses are disclosed on a gross basis, as GTC acts as a principal.
(m) BORROWING COSTS
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. The interest capitalised is calculated using the Group’s weighted average cost of borrowings after adjusting for borrowings associated with specific developments. Where borrowings are associated with specific developments, the amount capitalised is the gross interest incurred on those borrowings less any investment income arising on their temporary investment. Interest is capitalised from the commencement of the development work until the date of practical completion, i.e., when substantially all of the development work is completed. The capitalisation of finance costs is suspended if there are prolonged periods when development activity is interrupted. Interest is also capitalised on the purchase cost of a site of property acquired specifically for redevelopment, but only where activities necessary to prepare the asset for redevelopment are in progress.
(n) SHARE ISSUANCE EXPENSES
Share issuance costs are deducted from equity (share premium), net of any related income tax benefits.
(o) INCOME TAXES & OTHER TAXES
The current provision for corporate income tax for the Group companies is calculated in accordance with tax regulations ruling in particular country of operations and is based on the profit or loss reported under relevant tax regulations.

7. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
* where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss,
* in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
* where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
* in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates enacted to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which each company of the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. At each reporting date, the Group companies re-assess unrecognised deferred tax assets and the carrying amount of deferred tax assets. The companies recognise a previously unrecognised deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

7. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
The companies conversely reduce the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of the deferred tax asset that might be utilised. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit and loss is also recognized outside profit and loss: under other comprehensive income if relates to items recognised under other comprehensive income, or under equity – if relates to items recognized in equity. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if, and only if, a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes that are levied by the same taxation authority. Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognized net of the amount of value added tax except:
* where the value added tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case value added tax is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item, as applicable; and
* receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of value added tax included.
The net amount of value added tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. If, according to the Group’s assessment, it is probable that the tax authorities will accept an uncertain tax treatment or a group of uncertain tax treatments, the Group determines taxable income (tax loss), tax base, unused tax losses and unused tax credits and tax rates, after considering in its tax return the applied or planned approach to taxation.# Globe Trade Centre S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 (in thousands of Euro)
The accompanying notes are an integral part of this Consolidated Financial Statements
7. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
If the Group ascertains that it is not probable that the tax authorities will accept an uncertain tax treatment or a group of uncertain tax treatments, the Group reflects the impact of this uncertainty in determining taxable income (tax loss), unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates. The Group accounts for this effect using the following methods: • determining the most probable amount – it is a single amount from among possible results; or • providing the expected amount – it is the sum of the amounts weighted by probability from among possible results.
(p) FOREIGN EXCHANGE DIFFERENCES
For companies with Euro as a functional currency, transactions denominated in a foreign currency (including Polish Zloty) are recorded in Euro at the actual exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are revalued at period-end using period-end exchange rates. Foreign currency translation differences are charged to the income statement.
The following exchange rates were used for valuation purposes in cases where a certain lease is denominated in local currency.
| 31 December 2020 | 31 December 2019 | |
|---|---|---|
| PLN/EUR | 4.6148 | 4.2585 |
| USD/EUR | 1.2279 | 1.1112 |
| HUF/EUR | 365.13 | 330.50 |
(q) INTEREST BEARING LOANS AND BORROWINGS AND DEBT SECURITIES
All loans and borrowings and debt securities are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs associated with the borrowing. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings and debt securities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, except for liabilities designated as hedged items, which are measured in accordance with hedge accounting policies, as described in Note 7 (w). Debt issuance expenses are deducted from the amount of debt originally recognised. These costs are amortised through the income statement over the estimated duration of the loan, except to the extent that they are directly attributable to construction. Debt issuance expenses represent an adjustment to effective interest rates. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any transaction costs, and any discount or premium on settlement. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised.

(r) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – INITIAL RECOGNITION AND SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15. Refer to the accounting policies in note 7(l) Contract revenue and costs recognition. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
- Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments);
- Financial assets at fair value through OCI with the recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments);
- Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments);
- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of this Consolidated Financial Statements
23
7. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
This category is the most relevant to the Group. The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
- The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and
- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired. The Group’s financial assets at amortised cost include trade receivables, loans to associate and short-term deposits under current financial assets.
Financial assets at fair value through OCI (debt instruments)
The Group measures debt instruments at fair value through OCI if both of the following conditions are met:
- The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling; and
- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation, and impairment losses or reversals are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in OCI. Upon derecognition, the cumulative fair value change recognised in OCI is recycled to profit or loss. The Group does not have such debt instruments.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of this Consolidated Financial Statements
24
7. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI (equity instruments)
Upon initial recognition, the Group can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognised as other income in the statement of profit or loss when the right of payment has been established, except when the Group benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI are not subject to impairment assessment. The Group does not have such equity instruments.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortised cost or at fair value through OCI, as described above, debt instruments may be designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit or loss. The Group does not have such instruments.

Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans, and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings, including bank overdrafts and derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IFRS 9. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the statement of profit or loss. Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in IFRS 9 are satisfied.
Loans and borrowings
This is the category most relevant to the Group. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.
Globe Trade Centre S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 (in thousands of Euro)
The accompanying notes are an integral part of this Consolidated Financial Statements
26
- Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss. This category applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
The table below presents the categorisation of financial assets and liabilities:
| Item | Category | Measurement |
|---|---|---|
| Financial assets/liabilities | ||
| Cash and short-term deposits | Financial assets at amortised cost | Amortised cost |
| Debtors | Financial assets at amortised cost | Amortised cost |
| Trade and other payables | Financial liabilities at amortised cost | Amortised cost |
| Long and short term borrowings | Financial liabilities at amortised cost | Amortised cost |
| Deposits from tenants | Financial liabilities at amortised cost | Amortised cost |
| Long term payables | Financial liabilities at amortised cost | Amortised cost |
| Interest Rate Swaps | Hedging (cash flow hedges) | Fair value – adjusted to other comprehensive income (effective portion) / adjusted to profit or loss (ineffective portion) |
| Cap | Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss | Fair value – adjusted to profit or loss |
| Cross-currency interest swap | Financial liabilities at fair value through other comprehensive income / profit or loss | Fair value related to interest – adjusted to other comprehensive income; Fair value related to currency – adjusted to profit or loss; |

- Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(s) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash comprises cash on hand and on-call deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that readily convert to a known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(t) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES
A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in section r) Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurement. The carrying amount of accounts receivables is equal to their fair value.
(u) IMPAIRMENT OF NON-CURRENT ASSETS
The carrying value of assets not measured at fair value is periodically reviewed by the Management Board to determine whether impairment may exist. In particular, the Management Board assessed whether the impairment indicators exist. Based upon its most recent analysis, management believes that there are no impairment indicators.
(v) PURCHASE OF SHARES OF NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST
If the Group increases its share in the net assets of its controlled subsidiaries, the difference between the consideration paid/payable and the carrying amount of non-controlling interest is recognised in equity attributable to equity holders of the parent.
(w) DERIVATIVES FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING
Initial recognition and subsequent measurement
The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps and cap, to hedge its interest rate risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently premeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as cash flow hedges when hedging the exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognised firm commitment.

- Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. Before 1 January 2018, the documentation included identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the Group will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated. Since 1 January 2018, the documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the Group will assess whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements (including the analysis of sources of hedge ineffectiveness and how the hedge ratio is determined). A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting if it meets all of the following effectiveness requirements:
* There is ‘an economic relationship’ between the hedged item and the hedging instrument.
* The effect of credit risk does not ‘dominate the value changes’ that result from that economic relationship.
* The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the Group actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Group actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.
Hedges that meet all the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for, as described below.
Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income in the cash flow hedge reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss. The cash flow hedge reserve is adjusted to the lower of the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument and the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item.

(x) ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the balance date. The actual results may differ from these estimates.
Investment property represents property held for long-term rental yields. Investment property is carried at fair value, which is established at least annually by an independent registered valuer based on discounted projected cash flows from the investment property using the discounts rates applicable for the local real estate market and updated by the Management judgment or - as deemed appropriate – on basis of the Income capitalisation or yield method. The applied method and main assumptions as defined in note 17 are defined by the valuer. The changes in the fair value of investment property are included in the profit or loss for the period in which it arises (note 17).
The Group uses estimates in determining the amortization rates used (note 29). The fair value of financial instruments for which no active market exists is assessed by means of appropriate valuation methods. In selecting the appropriate methods and assumptions, the Group applies professional judgment (note 19).
The Group recognises deferred tax asset based on the assumption that taxable profits will be available in the future against which the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Deterioration of future taxable profits might render this assumption unreasonable (note 15).
(y) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments:
The Group has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Group has determined that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties which are leased out on operating leases. Significant accounting judgements related to investment property are presented in note 7 (c). Significant accounting judgements related to market liquidity of investment property are presented in note 7 (d).
The Group classifies its residential inventory to current or non-current assets, based on their development stage within the business operating cycle. The normal operating cycle most cases falls within a period of 1-5 years. Residential projects, which are active, are classified as current inventory. Residential projects which are planned to be completed in a period longer than the operating cycle are classified as residential landbank under non-current assets. On the basis of the assessment made, the Group has reclassified part of inventory from current assets to residential landbank in non–current assets.
The Group determines whether a transaction or other event is a business combination by applying the definition of a business in IFRS 3.
Deferred tax with respect to outside temporary differences relating to subsidiaries was calculated based on an estimated probability that these temporary differences will be realized in the foreseeable future. The Group also makes an assessment of the probability of realization of deferred tax asset. If necessary, the Group decreases deferred tax asset to the realizable value.
The Group uses judgements in determining the settlement of share based payment in cash.
(z) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of GTC and the financial statements of its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as those of the parent company, using consistent accounting policies, and based on the same accounting policies applied to similar business transactions and events. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.
The Group, regardless of the nature of its involvement with an entity (the investee), shall determine whether it is a parent by assessing whether it controls the investee. The Group controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Thus, the Group controls an investee if and only if it has all the following:
* power over the investee;
* exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
* the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. All significant intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised gains arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless they indicate impairment.
(aa) PROVISIONS
Provisions are recognised when the Group has present obligation, (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
(ab) SHARE-BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS
Amongst others, GTC remunerates key personnel by granting them rights for payments based on GTC’s share price performance in PLN, in exchanges for their services (“Phantom shares”). The cost of the phantom shares is measured initially at fair value at the grant date. The liability is re-measured to fair value at each reporting date up and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognised in administration expenses. Phantom shares are vested in annual tranches during the work/service period. Expenses are recognised in a straight line basis over the vesting period.
(ac) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share for each reporting period is calculated as quotient of the profit for the given reporting period and the weighted average number of shares outstanding in that period.
(ad) SHORT TERM DEPOSITS
Short-term deposits include deposits related to loan agreements and other contractual commitments and can be used only for certain operating activities as determined by underlying agreements. Deposits related to loan agreements can be used anytime (for the defined purposes upon approval of the lender), as so, they are presented within current assets.
(ae) DEPOSITS FROM TENANTS
Deposits from tenants include deposits received from tenants to secure the obligation of the tenants towards the landlord. The deposits are refundable at the end of the lease.
(af) RESIDENTIAL INVENTORY AND RESIDENTIAL LANDBANK
Inventory relates to residential projects under construction is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The realisable value is determined using the Discounted Cash Flow method or Comparison method by independent appraisers. Costs relating to the construction of a residential project are included in the inventory. Commissions paid to sales or marketing agents on the sale of real estate units, which are not refundable, are expensed in full when the contract to sell is secured.
The Group classifies its residential inventory to current or non-current assets based on their development stage within the business operating cycle. The normal operating cycle, in most cases, falls within a period of 1-5 years. Residential projects, which are active, are classified as current inventory. Residential projects which are planned to be completed in a period longer than the operating cycle are classified as residential landbank under non-current assets.
(ag) LEASES
Leases, where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risk and benefits of ownership of the asset, are classified as operating leases. There are two types of leases in GTC Group that are subject to IFRS 16 and affect the financial statements:
* Leasing property rented to tenants - the primary activity of GTC Group. For this leasing activity, GTC Group acts as a Lessor. A lessor accounting under IFRS 16 is substantially unchanged, therefore it has no influence on the Group.
* Leases of lands under perpetual usufruct where the Group acts as Lessee. Perpetual usage payments are payments, which are done in advance or in arrears on an annual or monthly basis within a define period (from 33 to 87 years).# Globe Trade Centre S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020
7. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Perpetual usage payments are made in Poland, Croatia, Romania, and Serbia. Due to the fact that perpetual usage payments, by substance, are treated as lease payments, payments are to be considered under IFRS 16. In the consolidated financial position statements, the Group recognized a Right-of-Use and Lease Liabilities:
a) Right of use of lands under perpetual usufruct is presented
• as part of the Investment Property, with separate disclosure in a separate note;
• as part of the residential landbank.
b) Lease Liabilities are presented separately, as part of the Short-term and Long-term Liabilities, with a separate disclosure.
Under IFRS 16, the Group presents the amortization of Right-of-Use or the change in fair value of Right-of-Use within the profit (loss) on revaluations. Interest embedded within land leases is presented as Finance expenses. The Right of Use of lands under perpetual usufruct is amortized over the lease period (for cost method) or valued using the fair value approach (for investment properties valued at fair value).
The Group entered into several other leases (low value, short term), which are not treated in accordance with IFRS 16. Additionally, the Group has decided not to apply the new guidelines to leases whose term will end within twelve months of the date of initial application. In such cases, the lease is accounted as short-term lease.
- Amendments to IFRS 16, COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions (issued on 28 May 2020). Effective 1 June 2020, IFRS 16 was amended to provide a practical expedient for lessees accounting for rent concessions that arise as a direct consequence of the COVID- 19 pandemic and satisfy the following criteria: (a) The change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change; (b) The reduction is lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021; and (c) There are is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. Rent concessions that satisfy these criteria may be accounted for in accordance with the practical expedient, which means the lessee does not assess whether the rent concession meets the definition of a lease modification. Lessees apply other requirements in IFRS 16 in accounting for the concession. The Group’s assessment is that the new amendment has no material impact.

COVID-19 OUTBREAK
The Covid-19 pandemic has triggered a wave of strong negative effects on the global economy, which include a pronounced recession. The lockdowns brought a large part of the world’s economic activity to an unparalleled standstill: consumers stayed home, companies lost revenue, and terminated employees – which, consequently, led to a rise in unemployment. Rescue packages by national governments and the EU as well as supporting monetary policies by the Eurpean Central Bank have been implemented to moderate the economic impact of the pandemic. However, the scope and duration of the pandemic and possible future containment measures are still impossible to predict. From mid-March 2020, it became apparent that the economic disruptions caused by the Covid-19 virus and the increased market uncertainty combined with increased volatility in the financial markets might lead to a potential decrease in rental revenues, a potential decrease in the Company assets’ values, as well as impact on the Company’s compliance with financial covenants. While the exact effect of the coronavirus is still to be determined, it is clear that it poses substantial risks (for further information, please see note 36).
10. Revenue from operations
Rental income includes variable rental revenue based on tenants’ turnover for the year ended 31 December 2020 of Euro 2,657 (2019: Euro 2,450). The remaining revenue is based on fixed contractual rental fees. The Group has entered into various operational lease contracts on its property portfolio in Poland, Romania, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Hungary. The commercial property leases typically include clauses to enable the periodic upward revision of the rental charge according to European Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Future minimum rental receivables under operating leases from completed projects are, as follows (in millions of Euro):
| 31 December 2020 | 31 December 2019 | |
|---|---|---|
| Within 1 year | 121 | 130 |
| Within 2 year | 100 | 112 |
| Within 3 year | 74 | 79 |
| Within 4 year | 52 | 52 |
| Within 5 year | 33 | 34 |
| Within 6 year | 22 | 17 |
| More than 6 years | 37 | 22 |
| Total | 439 | 446 |
Most of the revenue from operations is earned predominantly on the basis of amounts denominated in, directly linked to, or indexed by reference to the Euro. Service charge revenue includes income from charging maintenance costs to tenants. Service charge is billed on a monthly basis, based on the agreed rate from the contract.

15. Taxation (continued)
The enacted tax rates in the various countries were as follows:
| Tax rate | Year ended 31 December 2020 | Year ended 31 December 2019 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Poland | 19% | 19% | 19% |

Future benefit for deferred tax assets has been reflected in these consolidated financial statements only if it is probable that taxable profits will be available when timing differences that gave rise to such deferred tax asset reverse.
Regulations regarding VAT, corporate income tax, and social security contributions are subject to frequent changes. These frequent changes result in there being little point of reference, inconsistent interpretations not consistent, and few established precedents that may be followed. The binding regulations also contain uncertainties, resulting in differences in opinion regarding the legal interpretation of tax regulations both between government bodies and between government bodies and companies. Tax settlements and other areas of activity (e.g., customs or foreign currency related issues) may be subject to inspection by administrative bodies authorised to impose high penalties and fines, and any additional taxation liabilities calculated as a result must be paid together with high interest.
On 15 July 2016, amendments were made to the Polish Tax Ordinance to introduce the provisions of the General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR). GAAR are targeted to prevent origination and use of factitious legal structures made to avoid payment of tax in Poland. GAAR define tax evasion as an activity performed mainly with a view to realizing tax gains, which is contrary, under given circumstances, to the subject and objective of the tax law. In accordance with GAAR, an activity does not bring about tax gains if its modus operandi was false. Any instances of (i) unreasonable division of an operation (ii) involvement of agents despite lack of economic rationale for such involvement, (iii) mutually exclusive or mutually compensating elements, as well as (iv) other activities similar to those referred to earlier may be treated as a hint of artificial activities subject to GAAR. New regulations will require considerably greater judgment in assessing the tax effects of individual transactions. The GAAR clause should be applied to the transactions performed after the clause effective date and to the transactions which were performed prior to GAAR clause effective date, but for which after the clause effective date tax gains were realized or continue to be realised. The implementation of the above provisions will enable Polish tax authority to challenge such arrangements realized by tax remitters as restructuring or reorganization.

FAIR VALUE
As of 31 December 2020 and 2019, all bank loans bear floating interest rate (however, as of 31 December 2020 and 2019, 95% of loans are hedged). The fair value of the loans which is related to the floating component of the interest equals to the market rate. Fair value of all other financial assets/liabilities is close to carrying value. For the fair value of investment property, please refer to note 17.
FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY
As at 31 December 2020 and 2019, the Group held several hedge instruments carried at fair value on the statement of financial position. The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
- Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,
- Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly,
- Level 3: techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
Valuations of hedges are considered as level 2 fair value measurements. During the year ended 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, there were no transfers among Level 1 and Level 3 fair value measurements.
PRICE RISK
The Group is exposed to fluctuations of in the real estate markets in which it operates. These can have an effect on the Group’s results (due to changes in the market rent rates and in occupancy of the leased properties). Further risks are detailed in the Management Report as of 31 December 2020.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to provide for operational and value growth while prudently managing the capital and maintaining healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholder value.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies, or processes during the years ended 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019. The Group monitors its gearing ratio, which is Gross Project and Corporate Debt less Cash & Deposits, (as defined in IFRS) divided by its real estate investment value. The Group’s policy is to maintain the loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio at the level not higher than 50%.

COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a wave of strong negative effects on the global economy. The lockdowns brought a large part of the world’s economic activity to an unparalleled standstill: consumers stayed home, companies lost revenue, and terminated employees – which, consequently, led to a rise in unemployment. Rescue packages by national governments and the EU, as well as supporting monetary policies by the European Central Bank have been implemented to moderate the economic impact of the pandemic. However, the scope and duration of the pandemic and possible future containment measures are still impossible to predict. From mid-March 2020, it became apparent that the economic disruptions caused by the Covid-19 virus and the increased market uncertainty combined with increased volatility in the financial markets might lead to a potential decrease in rental revenues, a potential decrease in the Company assets’ values, as well as impact on the Company’s compliance with financial covenants. While the exact effect of the coronavirus is still to be determined, it is clear that it poses substantial risks.

CLOSING AND REOPENING OF THE GROUP’S SHOPPING CENTRES
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the Company’s business.# Globe Trade Centre S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020
The accompanying notes are an integral part of this Consolidated Financial Statements
36. COVID-19 (continued)
Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the authorities in many of the markets the Group operates in imposed restrictions on the opening of its shopping centres. Except for select “essential” retailers, or those able to offer curb side pickup or fulfill delivery orders from the store. The tenants in the Group’s centres were unable to trade for a period beginning mid- March and ending between beginning-May and end-May depending on the country, and later in the period between beginning-November and ending end-December and end- January. In addition, even in those regions in which there were no mandatory shutdowns, or when shopping centres were allowed to reopen, not all retailers continued or restarted operations. As at 31 December 2020, shopping centres in Poland and Bulgaria were closed. These centres contributed 69% of total retail rental revenue for 2020.
RENT DISCOUNTS AND COLLECTION
In several countries of our operations, governments adopted tenant support packages, such as a rental payments holiday in Poland for the period of lockdown or rent support through subsidizing part of any rental discounts. Upon the re-opening of its shopping centres, the Group engaged tenants in discussions about collecting rent and service charges as well as the terms of any support by the Group. The Group implemented multi-pronged measures to support tenants and encourage consumer spendings, such as reducing rent, allowing rent payment in instalments, waiving late payment interest and service charges. The financial impact of this in terms of loss of rent and service income related to the COVID-19 amounted to Euro 14,700. Overall, we have collected 99% of the rent originally due for the year ended 31 December 2020 (99% for offices and 97% for retail).
VALUATION OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES
As for each year end, investment properties have been valued by external independent appraisers as described in the Note 17 Investment properties. Those appraisals have been performed in a context of the current COVID-19 pandemic characterised by lack of transactions since the outbreak of the pandemic and difficulties to estimate future market prospects. The increased uncertainty and increased volatility in the financial markets have negatively affected the investment properties of the Group and might have an effect in the future asset valuations, as well as impact on the Company’s compliance with financial covenants. While the exact effect of the coronavirus is unknown and unknowable, it is clear that it poses substantial risks of reduction of income, increasing yields, increasing collection costs, and FX volatility.
During the financial year end 31 December 2020, the valuation of the investment properties decreased by EUR 142,721 (for details please refer to note 17).
LIQUIDITY POSITION
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group took immediate steps to preserve its strong liquidity position in light of the uncertain impact of the pandemic. These steps included cost and CAPEX measures, as well as the decision to retain profit for the year ended 31 December 2019 in the Company. As of 31 December 2020, the Group holds cash in the amount of EUR 271,996. The Group runs stress tests, which indicated that the going concern assumption remains valid for at least 12 months from the financial statement publication date. The Group is continuously assessing the situation and undertakes mitigating steps to reduce the impact that may be caused by the adverse market situation.
