3. Cash Flow Forecast
The audit opinion of the external auditors as of December 31, 2020, includes a mandatory emphasis of matter regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern (see also Note 1B to the consolidated IFRS financial statements). In addition, the Company presents in its financial statements as at March 31, 2020 an equity deficit, a negative working capital on a consolidated and stand-alone basis and a continuing negative cash flow from operating activity. These are considered "warning signs" as defined in Regulation 10 (b) (14) of the Israeli Securities Authority regulations. Therefore, the Company provides a cash-flow forecast (stand-alone) for a period of two years as starting April 1, 2020.
As announced by the Company, payments to the Debenture Holders that were scheduled for February 2018, 2019 and 2020 were not paid on time and were not paid by the date of this report. In 2018 and beginning of 2019, the Company was conducting negotiations with the Debenture Holders rescheduling of the repayments, and reached principle agreement with the trustees of Debenture Holders (series A and B) (as announced by the Company in October 2018). However, the trustees later announced they wish to place a hold on the negotiations on a final debt settlement until Tahal's financial situation and the transaction for sale of and/or investment in Tahal were clarified.
On April 30, 2019 the meetings of Debenture Holders series A and B approved balance payment principles according to which, Debenture Holders (series B) will be entitled to the full amounts paid by the Company until the repayment of the balance payments is completed. Accordingly, the Company transferred NIS 145 million to Debenture Holders B trustee for the purpose of making partial balance payments to Debenture Holders series B. The payment was made on June 3, 2019.
On September 24, 2019, the Company approached the Debenture Holders with a proposal to negotiate the terms of a new debt settlement which would be based on the conversion of a portion of the Company's debt into shares which, after the issuance, would constitute the majority of the Company's shares. Accordingly, the Company will continue to realize its assets under the management of the Company's Board of Directors, which may include new Directors appointed on the recommendation the Debenture Holders. For additional information, see announcement issued by the Company on September 24, 2019. As of the date of this report the Company is in advanced negotiation a debt settlement with the Debenture Holders (series B), based on the aforesaid principles.
Until reaching a final settlement, the Company and the trustees are acting in accordance with the resolutions made by the Debenture Holders in May 2019 regarding the balance payments to Debenture Holders (series B). Accordingly, the following cash flow forecast assumes that the Company will make repayments solely from funds it will receive.
It should be emphasized that in light of the fact that the an agreement with the Debenture Holders has not yet been approved, it is possible that the final agreement to be approved by the assemblies of the Debenture Holders will be different than the resolution of the assemblies of the Debenture Holders from May 2019, according to which this cash-flow forecast was prepared. Such change would impact the sources detailed in the cash flow forecast, and the amounts to be paid to the Debenture Holders.
It should be noted that the Company's payments sources for repayment to the debenture holders are from its subsidiaries. Accordingly, it should be emphasized that in light of the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, there may be a significant impact on the ability of the subsidiaries to sell assets and transfer funds to the Company. Therefore, the Company emphasizes that the assumptions used by the Company in deriving the cash flow forecast should be read carefully with the above comments in mind.

Main Assumptions to the Cash Flow Forecast
-
- The cash flow forecast was prepared according to the assumption that the debt settlement to be approved by the assemblies of the Debenture Holders will be in line with the Company's proposal from September 2019 and the resolutions of the Debenture Holders from May 2019 regarding the balance payments to Debenture Holders (series B). Accordingly, the uses in cash flow forecast are based on the assumption that all payments made to the Debenture Holders will be made as early repayments only from funds which will be received by the Company.
-
- The cash flow forecast has been jointly prepared for Kardan NV (company-only) and its wholly owned subsidiaries GTC Real Estate Holding BV, Kardan Financial Services BV, and Emerging Investments XII BV, as the treasury of these companies is centralized. With respect to limitations regarding the transfer of funds between the companies, see note 11 below.
-
- Cash flow from investing activities relates, in principle, to proceeds from the sale of the Company's subsidiaries Tahal Group International B.V. (Hereinafter 'TGI') and/or KLC. The following are assumptions, comments, and reservations in relation to future sale of subsidiaries:
- a. As detailed in various reportings of the Company, the Company has been making efforts to sell its holdings in TGI for some years, with a view to using the funds received from the sale to repay part of the debentures. In light of TGI's performance in the last period, the heavy losses in the reporting periods, which include material provisions for the impairment of various projects and debts, the negative cash flow and delays in TGI's new projects in Africa, the Board of Directors of the Company concluded that, at present, the strengthening the financial position of TGI is required (among others, by the sale of TGI's assets that will be used to repay its debt to the banks). As of the date of this report, the Company focuses on the realization of TGI's assets for the purpose of repayment of its debt to the banks and locating an investor to purchase TGI's for a capital investment in TGI. The forecasted cash flow assumes that no payment will be received from TGI or as a result of the sale of the Company's holdings in TGI.
- b. Accordingly, the Company impaired the value of its investment in TGI and as of March 31, 2020 the value of the investment in TGI is not material to Kardan according to its financial statements.
- c. The Company reflected these estimations in in the above cash flow forecast.
- d. As of the date of this report, the Company is not conducting negotiations regarding the sale of its holdings in KLC (however the Company is conducting discussions from time to time regarding the sale of KLC's
assets apart from its ongoing business of selling apartments). The cash flow forecast therefore does not assume the receipt of proceeds from such transaction.
-
- Generally, uncertainty is inherent in a forecast of sales of assets, mainly due to dependence on third parties, inter alia, due to: the need to find potential buyers and to reach agreements with them regarding the terms of the transaction, the need to receive relevant approvals, the Company's need to obtain the approval of the Debenture Holders to the transactions, and the need of potential buyers to reach agreements with financing parties in order to obtain funding for such acquisitions. The forecast readers must take these facts into account when assessing the Company's probability of meeting the cash flow forecast.
-
- The 'dividend distribution' line assumes dividends, which will be received in KLC from Lucky Hope companies over several years. It is noted that as of the date of this report, no decision has been made in Lucky Hope companies regarding distribution of a significant amount of dividends beyond profit distributions that are made from time to time and accordingly, such decision has not been made by KLC. In addition, since KLC is a guarantor to the Dalian project loan, which is due in November 2020, the cash flow assumes that, until this loan is settled, no dividends will be transferred to the Company from KLC. The assumption of the receipt of such dividends is in line with the assumptions regarding the results of the projects carried out by Lucky Hope companies' policy except for Kardan Dalian's debt (which KLC guarantees). As of the date of this report, the Company is not aware of any restrictions that may raise reasonable doubt regarding the distribution of such dividends. In addition, the Company is not aware of any restrictions on distributing the dividends detailed in the cash flow forecast by KLC.
-
- It should be emphasized that this cash flow forecast is based on the forecasted operational results of KLC, which assumes certain assumption regarding the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on its operations. Should the impact of the crisis is greater, the dividend amounts would decrease significantly. For additional information regarding COVID-19 impact see Note 1C to the interim consolidated financial statements.
-
- Within the framework of the sale agreement of AVIS Ukraine, it was determined that loans provided by KFS to AVIS Ukraine will continue to stand in force and be repaid according to the loan agreement, and that AVIS Ukraine will provide collateral to secure repayment of these loans. As of the date of this report, the balance of the loans amounts to €1.3 million and the loans are repaid in quarterly installments until December 2020.
-
- As noted above, the cash flow forecast was prepared assuming that the settlement approved by the assemblies of the Debenture Holders will include payments to the Debenture Holders solely from funds received by the Company. Accordingly, it is assumed that future payments to the Debenture Holders will be made as early repayments out of funds received by the Company, according to the resolution of the Debenture Holders.
-
- It should be emphasized that, as at the date of this report, the Company does not have the sources to make repayments to the Debenture Holders which are, as aforesaid, expected to be received from dividend distribution from subsidiaries and from the future realization of assets. In addition, there is no certainty that the debt settlement approved by the assemblies of the Debenture Holders will be inline with the principles laid in the basis of this cash flow forecast. In addition, we draw attention to the equity deficit of the Company, which may indicate the inability of the Company to fully repay its debt to the Debenture Holders.
-
- The cash flow forecast does not include interest in arrears resulting from failure to meet the repayment dates set out in the Deeds of Trust and deferment of payments to the Debenture Holders, in light of the assumption that the payments to the Debenture Holders will be made according to agreements between the Company and the Debenture Holders trustees and will not include interest in arrears. In addition, the cash flow forecast does not include early repayment costs, among others, in light of the fact that as of the date of this report the Company is unable to estimate the date of the repayments to the Debenture Holders and therefore, is unable to calculate the amount of interest in arrears and the early repayment costs that it will be required to pay. It is possible that the Debenture Holders' assemblies will not approve an arrangement based on these principles and in that case the Company will also be required to pay interest in arrears.
-
- The interest calculations are based on the Israeli CPI, exchange rates and interest rates which are applicable as of March 31, 2020, and as aforesaid, do not include interest in arrears. The principal and interest payments for the debentures are presented on the net outstanding balance, excluding the debentures held by GTC RE and Emerging Investment XII BV. A change of 5% in the Euro/NIS rate will lead to a change of approximately €16.9 million to the outstanding balance of the debentures (principal and interest) as of March 31, 2020.
12. Restrictions on transferring funds:
Transfer of funds between Kardan NV, GTC RE, Emerging Investments XII, and KFS is mostly done through intercompany loans or distribution of dividend or capital reserves as permitted by Dutch law1 . For details regarding the limitations that apply on KLC, refer to section 7.6.8.7 to part A of the 2019 Israeli Annual Report. For information regarding the restrictions on transferring funds between Kardan NV and TGI, refer to section 8.18 of the 2019 Israeli Annual Report

Breakdown of distributable reserves according to Dutch law and intercompany loans balances is as follows:
- This estimate regarding the sources of cash in this forecast is forward looking information as defined in the Israeli Securities Act, based on management assumptions and expectations. The aforesaid may not materialize completely or part thereof, or materialize in a different manner, including materially different from what is expected as a result of market changes (including changes in foreign currencies and CPI), failure to reach an agreement with the Debenture Holders regarding the terms of the debt settlement, the disapproval of the debt settlement with the Debenture Holders, changes in the principles of the debt settlement and the principles of the debt settlement which were used in the basis of the preparation of the cash flow forecast, difficulties in raising credit, decrease in value of investments, change in cash amounts expected to be received from affiliated companies, continuation of the COVID-19 crisis etc. The Company, being a holding company, is generating cash flows from its investee companies mainly through dividend distributions and repayments of shareholder loans or through the realization (in part or in full) of its stakes in the investee companies. The generation of such cash flows may at times be subject to factors which are out of the control of the Company (such as the need to obtain third parties consent, foreign currency exchange, market prices of assets, risk factors of the company, the impact of the COVID-19 virus and more). It may also be the case – as it is with the distribution of dividends – that such cash flows sources are dependent on resolutions to be taken by the relevant organs in those companies. For details regarding the risk factors which are relevant to the cash flow forecast, refer to sections 7.20, 8.26, and 20 of part A of the 2019 Israeli Annual Report. Due attention should be given to the risk factors, which should be read together with the cash flow forecast. It should be noted that in case one or more of the underlying assumptions upon which the cash flow forecast was based fail to materialize, it might result in the inability of the Company to fulfill its obligations in accordance with the Debt Settlement.

In light of the expected impact of the COVID-19 crisis in China on the forecasted cash flows of the shopping mall, a valuation for March 31, 2020 was performed. The fair value of the property as at March 31, 2020 is based on the valuation report which is attached to these financial statements and the valuation model used in that valuation report.
The various estimates and parameters included in the valuation as of December 31, 2019 were re-examined and adjusted to the expected effects of the COVID-19 crisis. These changes include, amongst others, further

DISCLAIMER
This press release contains forward-looking statements and information, for example concerning the financial condition, results of operations, businesses and potential exposure to market risks of Kardan N.V. and its group companies (jointly "Kardan Group"). All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements (including "forward looking statements" as defined in the Israeli Securities Law). Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations that are based on management's current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of terms and phrases such as ''anticipate'', ''believe'', ''could'', ''estimate'', ''expect'', ''intend'', ''may'', ''plan'', ''objectives'', ''outlook'', ''probably'', ''project'', ''will'', ''seek'', ''target'', ''risks'', ''goals'', ''should'' and similar terms and phrases. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond Kardan Group's control, affect our operations, performance, business strategy and results and could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Kardan Group to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For Kardan Group, particular uncertainties arise, amongst others but not limited to and not in any order of importance, (i) from dependence on external financing with the risk that insufficient access to capital threatens its capacity to grow, execute its business model, and generate future financial returns (ii) from concentration of its business in Central Eastern Europe and China as a result of which Kardan Group is strongly exposed to these particular markets (iii) from risks related to the financial markets as a result of Kardan N.V.'s listings on NYSE Euronext Amsterdam and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and (iv) from it being a decentralized organization with a large number of separate entities spread over different geographic areas in emerging markets, so that Kardan Group is exposed to the risk of fraudulent activities or illegal acts perpetrated by managers, employees, customers, suppliers or third parties which expose the organization to fines, sanctions and loss of customers, profits and reputation etc. and may adversely impact Kardan Group's ability to achieve its objectives and (v) from any of the risk factors specified in Kardan N.V.'s Annual Report and in the related "Periodic Report " (published by Kardan N.V. in Israel) published in April and which is also available at the Kardan website. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the relevant forward-looking statement as expected, anticipated, intended, planned, believed, sought, estimated or projected. Kardan N.V. does not intend or assume any obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those anticipated.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2020
1. GENERAL
A. Corporate information
Kardan N.V. ('Kardan' or 'the Company') having its legal seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, was incorporated on May 2, 2003, and acts as an operating holding company which is engaged in the development of real estate and (water) infrastructure projects (discontinued operations, see Note 8), through its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies.
The Company and its subsidiaries are referred to as 'the Group'.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on June 29, 2020.
B. Financial Position and Going Concern
-
- As at March 31, 2020 the Company had, on a stand-alone basis and on a consolidated basis, a working capital deficit of €361 million and €415 million, respectively (excluding debentures held by subsidiaries), mainly as a result of classification of the debentures and other long-term debt as short-term liabilities, as detailed below. For the three months period ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a (consolidated and on a stand-alone basis) net loss of €3.5 million and €3.8 million, respectively, and generated negative cash flow from operating activities of €0.9 million on a stand-alone basis, and negative cash flows from operating activities of €9.9 million on a consolidated basis. In addition, as at March 31, 2020 the Company had a deficit of €154 million in its equity attributable to equity holders. The Company has not repaid the February 2018, 2019 and 2020 principal and interest payments to the debenture holders and is in default according to the Deeds of Trust – see 2 below.
-
- On January 11, 2018 the Company announced that it would not be able to complete a transaction for the sale of its holdings in TGI in a manner that would enable the Company to meet the scheduled payments to the debenture holders in February 2018. Further to this announcement, the Company has not repaid the principal and interest payments which were due in February 2018. Consequently, the Company is in default according to the Deeds of Trust as of February 2018. Accordingly, from March 31, 2018, the debentures are presented as current liabilities. Management continues the discussions with the representatives of the Debenture Holders in order to reach an agreement on postponing the payments as part of a new debt settlement, see also 3 below.
In February 2018, following the announcement that the Company will not make the February 2018 repayments, Maalot, the Israeli subsidiary of Standard & Poor's, has adjusted the rating of the Company and its Debentures Series A and Series B to "D".
- In October 2018, the Company has published the main principles of a debt settlement as negotiated and agreed with debenture holders series B, which include among others, the following: the principal amount of the Debentures and the interest rate will remain unchanged; the final repayment date of the Debentures will be postponed to December 2021, and in parallel the Company will commit to sell assets and to use the funds received from such disposals for early repayment of Debentures A and B , the Company shall issue to Debenture Holders A and
B shares of the Company; each material transaction of the Company and its subsidiaries will be subject to approval of a joint meeting of the debenture holders A and B.
In April 2019, each of the meetings of debentures A and of debentures B approved the understandings reached by the representatives of both debenture series in relation to the balance payments. Accordingly, it was agreed that up to the date on which debenture holders B will be paid the full amount of the balance payments (approximately NIS 373 million), no payment will be made to debenture holders A. After the balance payments to debentures B are completed a balance payment of NIS 10 million will be paid to debenture holders A; and thereafter, each repayment will be made pro-rata between series A and B. Following this approval, in June 2019 the Company repaid NIS 145 million (approximately €36.5 million) to debenture holders B.
Given the development in the financial standings of the Company, in September 2019, the Company has approached the Debenture Holders to propose that the parties will negotiate new terms of the debt settlement, which will be based on the following principles: (1) a portion of the Company's debt will be converted into the Company's shares in such a way that it is expected that the Debenture Holders will obtain a vast majority of the outstanding shares in the capital of the Company, after the share issue; (2) the amount of the Company's debt that will be converted into the Company's shares will be determined on the basis of a joint analysis of the Company and the Trustees, to ensure that the Company has positive equity and the Company can continue to operate as a going concern and meet its repayment obligations towards the Debenture Holders, taking into account future interest payments and expected proceeds when realizing assets in the future; (3) the Company's shares will be allocated to the Debenture Holders pro rata to the Company's total debt to the Debenture Holders (Series A) and (Series B); (4) the percentage of shares to be held by the Debenture Holders shall be determined by the parties within the framework of the negotiations; (5) the Company will continue to realize its assets under the management of the Company's Board of Directors. The new shareholders (i.e. the Debenture Holders) may make use of the right to nominate new board members; and (6) the balance payment as agreed between Series A and B will continue to apply with respect to funds received by the Company. Such settlement structure requires approval of the meeting of shareholders of Kardan and of the meeting of the debenture holders of the Company.
As of the date of approval of the Condensed interim consolidated financial statements, management is advancing the negotiations with the representatives of the debenture holders in order to reach a debt settlement according to the structure described above.
- Given the current adverse financial position of TGI, the Board has noted the outmost importance of strengthening the equity of TGI to support its operations. With that respect and given the fact that the Company is not able to support such capital increase into TGI, management has been searching for such investment into TGI through partnerships. At this stage TGI is negotiating a restructuring plan with its financing banks. Such agreement, if concluded, should provide TGI the required resources to continue its operation and improve its financial standings. The Company anticipates that after such improvement in the financial performance of TGI subsequent such capital increase and further advancement in various business initiatives it would be feasible to divest the holding in TGI either through direct transaction or through the capital markets. In this respect, please refer to Note 8 below for additional information regarding the financial position of TGI and the Company's investment in TGI.
In addition, the Company is acting to improve its assets in China and to refinance the project loan (see Note 6 below); assuming the Company will have sufficient time to continue improving these assets, the Company estimates it will be able to maximize their value in future sales transactions while making an orderly sale.
In order to assess the liquidity position of the Company, management prepared a two-year liquidity analysis (cash flow forecast), which indicates the required liquidity to be able to repay interest and principal of the Company's debentures and to finance its operating activities. Included in this analysis are, among others, the current cash balances and the projected cash from future operations and transactions. Due to the financial position of TGI, the cash flow forecast of Kardan does not include any cash generated from selling the investment in TGI.
-
- For information regarding the impact of the Corona crisis, please refer to Note 1C below.
-
- The directors expect that, taking into account the status of the discussions with the Debenture Holders and the expected terms of the debt settlement, subject to advancement of a settlement of debt-conversion to equity as presented to the Debenture Holders in September 2019, and taking into account the potential future value of the Company's assets in China, the Company has the ability to obtain the required resources for repaying its obligations and continue its business operations in the future. Management believes that a controlled sale of assets is in the best interest of all stakeholders. Accordingly, the directors are of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare these Condensed interim consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.
However, the directors emphasize that the realization of the Company's plans depends on factors that are not within the Company's control, including the approval of debenture holders to a debt settlement, transaction value of the Company's assets, refinancing and restructuring of loans, the impact of the Corona virus, and macroeconomic developments, and therefore there is uncertainty that the discussions with the Debenture Holders will result in rescheduling of payments and that transactions for sale of assets will be entered into or completed. Accordingly, it may be unable to realize its assets in order to repay its liabilities in the normal course of business. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which casts significant doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that would result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
C. Impact of the Corona Virus
The outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) expanded rapidly since the beginning of 2020. Measures taken by governments around the world to stop the spread of the virus have affected economic activity in many countries.
In dealing with the outbreak of the virus and attempting to stop its spread, drastic regulatory measures were taken around the world, that significantly restrict people's mobility and congregation. As a result, there has been a significant decline in economic activity in many regions of the world.
The restrictions imposed across China following the outbreak of the virus during the first quarter of 2020 affected the Group's real estate operations as follows:
• In the investment property activity (Galleria Dalian shopping mall), many tenants temporarily closed their shops in the mall that had resulted in the sharp decrease in the footfall and sales. As of March 31, 2020, only 42 shops remained closed (out of 193 shops). As of the date of approval of these condensed interim consolidated interim financial information, 32 shops remain closed. At end of May, the number of visitors and the sales turnover of the shopping mall reached approximately 72% and 68% respectively, of their rate before the COVID-19 outbreak.
- During the first quarter of 2020, following the COVID-19 crisis, KLC granted rent discount to its tenants in an accumulated amount of €0.3 million (RMB 2.2 million), and additional incentives were granted mainly in relation to marketing activities.
- KLC's management reviewed the provision for doubtful debts and decided to make several additional specific provisions, amounting to €0.2 million (RMB 1.6 million).
- In light of the expected changes in Galleria Dalian's forecasted cash flows, an updated valuation was made as of March 31, 2020. The various estimates and parameters included in the valuation as of December 31, 2019 were re-examined and adjusted to the expected effects of the COVID-19 crisis. These changes include, amongst others, further discounts, decrease in occupancy rates as well as projected rental income, and expected growth rates. The external valuator also amended the weight taken in the valuation report of each valuation method (the comparison method and the DCF method). It is further noted that the uncertainties in the valuation increased compared to December 31, 2019. .According to the external valuation report, a valuation loss of approximately €2.9 million was recognized in the first quarter of 2020 (for additional information, see Note 3 below).
- In the real estate residential activity, there was no decrease in the number of apartments sold in most of the Group's residential joint venture projects. In the residential project in Dalian KLC recorded a moderate decrease in the selling prices of the apartments. Furthermore, the Group did not experience cancellations beyond the normal cancellation rate.
KLC also examined whether, as a result of the crisis, a decline in the value of apartment inventory in each of the projects is required. Given the sales rates even after the balance sheet date, KLC's management estimated that there was no need to make a provision for impairment.
In light of the COVID-19 crisis, KLC has begun to reduce operating expenses, mainly by reducing manpower costs, cutting down marketing activities, reducing operating hours of the mall and saving utilities cost. Total costs savings were estimated at approximately €0.2 million in Q1 2020. The Chinese government issued few policies to ease some of the financial burden on companies. Such policies include Exemption on Employers' Social Security contribution for a certain period, discount on leased commercial property tax and more. Total benefits amounted to €0.2 million in Q1 2020.
The Company's discontinued operations, TGI Group, is operating in all its countries of operations according to local guidelines with respect to the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, TGI acts to reduce its operational costs. With respect to the projects, in most countries the project works continued either in full or partially; in few countries projects stopped completely for different time period. Management of TGI estimates that as a result revenues amounting to approximately €1.3 million were delayed however that this will not have a significant impact, on the entire projects and their continuation as a whole. The impact of the economic crisis following the outbreak of the Corona is not yet known and is expected to have an impact on business initiatives it seeks to promote and its business, its market status, future projects, and the outline of its financial support.
In addition, in Israel, payments from governmental customer at the amount of NIS 2 million were prepaid in order to support TGI during this period, and a refund for the municipal taxes of the HQ building was received. In some countries, deferrals in tax payments are allowed.
The current response to Covid-19 means that the Company is faced with an unprecedented set of circumstances on which the Company has to base a judgment about its future operations, cash flows and valuation of its assets. However, given the uncertainty regarding the continuing spread of the virus and the resulting regulatory restrictions, the Company estimates that there could be a significant negative impact on its results for the year, its future cash flows the valuation of its assets, as a result of the circumstances, which the Company is unable to estimate at this time. In addition, it may have a negative impact towards investment sentiment, required rate of return as well as liquidity of any asset. It is uncertain how long this disruption will last and to what extent it will affect the economy. Accordingly, the Company's management is unable to estimate the duration that the Company will be required to operate in this format and therefore it is not possible to estimate the future negative impact expected to the Company's profitability following the Corona crisis.
2. Basis of presentation and preparation
A. General
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2020 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 as defined by the International Accounting Standards Board and as endorsed by the European Union to be used for the preparation of interim consolidated financial statements.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements as at December 31, 2019 ('the 2019 annual financial statements').
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
New standards and amendments to standards have been effective in 2020 and adopted by the Group:
Amendments to IFRS 3 - Definition of a Business
The amended definition of a business requires an acquisition to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The definition of the term 'outputs' is amended to focus on goods and services provided to customers, generating investment income and other income, and it excludes returns in the form of lower costs and other economic benefits.
The amendment to IFRS 3 will be applied prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. In accordance with the amendment provisions, its early application is possible. The first application of the amendment to IFRS 3 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
3. INVESTMENT PROPERTY

The fair value of investment properties has been determined on a market value basis in accordance with RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) Valuation – Professional Standards, as set out by the RICS. In arriving at their estimates of market values, the external appraiser has relied on their market knowledge and professional judgment and not only relied on historical transaction comparables.
As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, a weighted average between the DCF Approach and the Direct Comparison Method has been adopted to assess the fair value of the investment property. In view of the impacts caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 (see also Note 1C), adjustments were made to the valuation assumptions and changes in the weighting between the two valuation methods were adopted compared to the previous valuation report dated December 31, 2019, as described below.
Significant assumptions used in the valuation of the investment property:
| March | December | |
|---|---|---|
| 31, 2020 | 31, 2019 | |
| DCF method | ||
| Estimated rental value per sqm per month (in | 34 | 34 |

C. Extention or refinancing of Dalian project loan
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings of €95,160 thousand relate to a credit facilty of RMB 900 million (€115 million) granted in 2017 to Kardan Land Dalian Ltd. ('the Project Company'), for the financing of the Europark Dalian project. The loan was granted for a period of 3 years with an extension option of additional one year until November 5, 2021, if mutually agreed by all parties. The facility is secured by the assets of the project (completed apartments inventory, apartments under construction inventory and Galleria Dalian shopping mall, having a fair value of approximately €212 million as of March 31, 2020), the equity shares of KLD as well as guarantees provided by KLC.
The parties are negotiating the aforesaid extension of the loan, and management of the Project Company is confident an agreement for the exercise of the extension option will be signed or that the loan will be refinanced by another bank. In this respect and following the recent decision of the Company's Debenture Holders, KLC is planning to make partial early repayments of the loan in the amount of up to RMB 150 million (€19 million). The early repayments are expected to take place from June until November 2020. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, in June 2020 KLC made an early repayment of RMB 90 million, afterwhich the outstanding balance amounts to RMB 651 million (€83 million).
As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the loan balance is presented as current liability as such extension has not yet been signed.

E. Financial position of a subsidiary presented as held-for-sale (TGI):
For the three months period ended March 31, 2020 TGI presents a profit of €0.3 million, a negative cash flow from operating activities of €2.2 million and negative working capital of €30.2 million (in 2019 a loss of €36.9 million, a negative cash flow from operating activities of €12.8 million and working capital of €30.2 million). The shareholders' equity of TGI attributed to Kardan was immaterial as at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
In order to finance its operations, TGI uses short term credit lines amounting to €52 million, from banks. As a result of delays in receiving advance payments from the projects in Angola, TGI had to extend those credit lines until December 2019. As of the date of approval of these condensed interim financial statements, one bank has approved an extension of the actual usage of the credit line of approximately US\$ 25.6 million until December 31, 2020. Extension for remaining credit lines is pending approval of the other banks.
As of March 31, 2020, covenants in relation to the above credit lines have not been met. It is noted that TGI did not meet its covenants also in previous periods (since September 2018), for which waivers have been received until September 2019. As of the date of the approval of these condensed interim financial statements, the financing banks restricted the access of TGI to further financing, beyond the utilized credit lines as mentioned above.
It is noted that although TGI is in breach towards the banks, as of the date of signing these condensed interim financial statements the banks did not pursue any legal action towards TGI.
During 2020 and as of the date of the approval of these condensed interim financial statements, TGI has been conducting ongoing negotiations with its financing banks a restructuring plan where the banks will continue supporting TGI through its efforts to reorganize and improve its operation and return to solid financial performance. This plan includes support in the form of a guarantees facility required to advance projects and cash credit line to support TGI's working capital.
In parallel, as part of the agreements with the banks, in order to limit the exposure, TGI is negotiating with several parties to sell its holdings in certain activities. The terms of such transactions have not been finalized yet.
Management of TGI expects that with the support of the banks, TGI will have the resources allowing it to improve its financial position. However, there is no certainty that any of the negotiations will result in a binding agreement, or its terms and/or the date of any approval.
Given the financial position of TGI and the fact that the Company is unable to support TGI, management has been searching for an investment into TGI through partnerships. Upon reaching an agreement with TGI's financing banks, the Company assumes that the feasibility of securing such investment may improve. Such investment, if completed, is expected to strengthen TGI's financial position and contribute to its future development.
However, in view of the uncertainty regarding reaching an agreement with TGI's financing banks, at of the date of approving these financial statements, TGI's management, together with its financial and legal advisors, is considering additional alternatives to continue its operations if discussions with the banks do not mature into such agreement.
Due to the adverse financial position of TGI, as described above, and the uncertainties related to the terms of future investment in TGI, the board of directors of Kardan has decided that future cash inflows from TGI will not be taken into account in the cash flow forecast of Kardan. It is also emphasized, that the Company did not provide any guarantee, nor does it have any other commitment in relation to the financial position of TGI. Yet, according to IFRS requirements, the Company continues consolidating TGI's operations until a final sale of TGI is concluded.
9. Financial Covenants
As of March 31, 2020 the Company did not meet its financial covenant, as agreed with the Company's debenture holders.
As of March 31, 2020 some group companies of TGI did not meet certain financial covenants (see also note 8).
KLC and its group companies met their financial covenants as of March 31, 2020.
10. Subsequent events
Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company announced that that its Board of Directors has requested Euronext Amsterdam to delist the ordinary shares of Kardan from the stock exchange Euronext Amsterdam ('Euronext Amsterdam'). On June 23, 2020 Euronext Amsterdam approved the request. The shares of Kardan remain listed on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange.

A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information for the three-month period ended 31 March 2020 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union.
Emphasis of uncertainty with respect to the going concern assumption
We draw attention to note 1b of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements regarding the financial position and going concern, which indicates that the Company had on a consolidated basis, a working capital deficit as at 31 March 2020 of €415 million. For the threemonth period ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a net loss of €3.5 million and generated negative cash flows from operating activities on a consolidated basis of €9.9 million. In addition, as at 31 March 2020, the Company had a deficit of €154 million in its equity attributable to equity holders.
The disclosure note also indicates that in February 2018 the Company did not repay the principal and interest payments, which were due in February 2018. Hence, the Company is in default according to the Deeds of Trust as of February 2018. The Company is negotiating a new debt settlement with its debenture holders.
The realization of the Company's plans depends on factors that are not within the Company's control, including the approval of the debenture holders to a debt settlement, the transaction value of the Company's assets, refinancing and restructuring of loans, the impact of the Corona virus and macroeconomic developments, and therefore there is uncertainty that the discussions with the debenture holders will result in rescheduling of payments and that transactions for the sale of assets will be entered to or completed. Accordingly, it may be unable to realize its assets in order to repay its liabilities in the normal course of business. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which casts significant doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. General
A. This condensed interim separate financial information is presented in accordance to rule 38(D) of the Israeli Securities and Exchange Regulations (periodic and immediate reports), 1970.
This condensed interim separate financial information should be read in conjunction with the additional separate financial information for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the accompanying notes, and in conjunction to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
B. Financial position and going concern
-
- As at March 31, 2020 the Company had, on a stand-alone basis and on a consolidated basis, a working capital deficit of €361 million and €415 million, respectively (excluding debentures held by subsidiaries), mainly as a result of classification of the debentures and other long-term debt as short-term liabilities, as detailed below. For the three months period ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a (consolidated and on a stand-alone basis) net loss of €3.5 million and €3.8 million, respectively, and generated negative cash flow from operating activities of €0.9 million on a stand-alone basis, and negative cash flows from operating activities of €9.9 million on a consolidated basis. In addition, as at March 31, 2020 the Company had a deficit of €154 million in its equity attributable to equity holders. The Company has not repaid the February 2018, 2019 and 2020 principal and interest payments to the debenture holders and is in default according to the Deeds of Trust – see 2 below.
-
- On January 11, 2018 the Company announced that it would not be able to complete a transaction for the sale of its holdings in TGI in a manner that would enable the Company to meet the scheduled payments to the debenture holders in February 2018. Further to this announcement, the Company has not repaid the principal and interest payments which were due in February 2018. Consequently, the Company is in default according to the Deeds of Trust as of February 2018. Accordingly, from March 31, 2018, the debentures are presented as current liabilities. Management continues the discussions with the representatives of the Debenture Holders in order to reach an agreement on postponing the payments as part of a new debt settlement, see also 3 below.
In February 2018, following the announcement that the Company will not make the February 2018 repayments, Maalot, the Israeli subsidiary of Standard & Poor's, has adjusted the rating of the Company and its Debentures Series A and Series B to "D".
- In October 2018, the Company has published the main principles of a debt settlement as negotiated and agreed with debenture holders series B, which include among others, the following: the principal amount of the Debentures and the interest rate will remain unchanged; the final repayment date of the Debentures will be postponed to December 2021, and in parallel the Company will commit to sell assets and to use the funds received from such disposals for early repayment of Debentures A and B , the Company shall issue to Debenture Holders A and B shares of the Company; each material transaction of the Company and its subsidiaries will be subject to approval of a joint meeting of the debenture holders A and B.
In April 2019, each of the meetings of debentures A and of debentures B approved the understandings reached by the representatives of both debenture series in relation to the balance payments. Accordingly, it was agreed that up to the date on which debenture holders B will be paid the full amount of the balance payments (approximately NIS 373 million), no
payment will be made to debenture holders A. After the balance payments to debentures B are completed a balance payment of NIS 10 million will be paid to debenture holders A; and thereafter, each repayment will be made pro-rata between series A and B. Following this approval, in June 2019 the Company repaid NIS 145 million (approximately €36.5 million) to debenture holders B.
Given the development in the financial standings of the Company, in September 2019, the Company has approached the Debenture Holders to propose that the parties will negotiate new terms of the debt settlement, which will be based on the following principles: (1) a portion of the Company's debt will be converted into the Company's shares in such a way that it is expected that the Debenture Holders will obtain a vast majority of the outstanding shares in the capital of the Company, after the share issue; (2) the amount of the Company's debt that will be converted into the Company's shares will be determined on the basis of a joint analysis of the Company and the Trustees, to ensure that the Company has positive equity and the Company can continue to operate as a going concern and meet its repayment obligations towards the Debenture Holders, taking into account future interest payments and expected proceeds when realizing assets in the future; (3) the Company's shares will be allocated to the Debenture Holders pro rata to the Company's total debt to the Debenture Holders (Series A) and (Series B); (4) the percentage of shares to be held by the Debenture Holders shall be determined by the parties within the framework of the negotiations; (5) the Company will continue to realize its assets under the management of the Company's Board of Directors. The new shareholders (i.e. the Debenture Holders) may make use of the right to nominate new board members; and (6) the balance payment as agreed between Series A and B will continue to apply with respect to funds received by the Company. Such settlement structure requires approval of the meeting of shareholders of Kardan and of the meeting of the debenture holders of the Company.
As of the date of approval of the Condensed interim consolidated financial statements, management is advancing the negotiations with the representatives of the debenture holders in order to reach a debt settlement according to the structure described above.
- Given the current adverse financial position of TGI, the Board has noted the outmost importance of strengthening the equity of TGI to support its operations. With that respect and given the fact that the Company is not able to support such capital increase into TGI, management has been searching for such investment into TGI through partnerships. At this stage TGI is negotiating a debt settlement with its financing banks. Such settlement, if concluded, should provide TGI the required resources to continue its operation and improve its financial standings. The Company anticipates that after such improvement in the financial performance of TGI subsequent such capital increase and further advancement in various business initiatives it would be feasible to divest the holding in TGI either through direct transaction or through the capital markets. In this respect, please refer to Note 8 to the condensed interim financial statements for additional information regarding the financial position of TGI and the Company's investment in TGI.
In addition, the Company is acting to improve its assets in China and to refinance the project loan (see Note 6 to the condensed interim financial statements); assuming the Company will have sufficient time to continue improving these assets, the Company estimates it will be able to maximize their value in future sales transactions while making an orderly sale.
In order to assess the liquidity position of the Company, management prepared a two-year liquidity analysis (cash flow forecast), which indicates the required liquidity to be able to repay interest and principal of the Company's debentures and to finance its operating activities. Included in this analysis are, among others, the current cash balances and the projected cash
from future operations and transactions. Due to the financial position of TGI, the cash flow forecast of Kardan does not include any cash generated from selling the investment in TGI.
-
- For information regarding the impact of the Corona crisis, please refer to Note 1C to the condensed interim financial statements.
-
- The directors expect that, taking into account the status of the discussions with the Debenture Holders and the expected terms of the debt settlement, subject to advancement of a settlement of debt-conversion to equity as presented to the Debenture Holders in September 2019, and taking into account the potential future value of the Company's assets in China, the Company has the ability to obtain the required resources for repaying its obligations and continue its business operations in the future. Management believes that a controlled sale of assets is in the best interest of all stakeholders. Accordingly, the directors are of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare these Condensed interim consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.
However, the directors emphasize that the realization of the Company's plans depends on factors that are not within the Company's control, including the approval of debenture holders to a debt settlement, transaction value of the Company's assets, refinancing and restructuring of loans, the impact of the Corona virus, and macroeconomic developments, and therefore there is uncertainty that the discussions with the Debenture Holders will result in rescheduling of payments and that transactions for sale of assets will be entered into or completed. Accordingly, it may be unable to realize its assets in order to repay its liabilities in the normal course of business. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which casts significant doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that would result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern .
2. Subsequent events
Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company announced that that its Board of Directors has requested Euronext Amsterdam to delist the ordinary shares of Kardan from the stock exchange Euronext Amsterdam ('Euronext Amsterdam'). On June 23, 2020 Euronext Amsterdam approved the request. The shares of Kardan remain listed on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange.
