Notes to the condensed consolidated and Company interim financial statements

1. General information

These condensed interim financial statements include the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 interim financial statements of the company LAMDA Development S.A. (the "Company") and the interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together "the Group"). The names of the subsidiaries are presented in note 7.

The main activities of the Group are the investment, development and maintenance of innovative real estate projects and marine services.

The Group is activated in Greece and in other neighbour Balkan countries mainly Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro and its shares are listed on the Athens Stock Exchange.

The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Greece. The address of its registered office is 37A Kifissias Ave., 15123, Maroussi and its website address is www.Lamda-development.net. The company is controlled by Consolidated Lamda Holdings S.A. which is domiciled in Luxembourg and therefore Group's financial statements are included in its consolidated financial statements. The company Consolidated Lamda Holdings S.A. is controlled by Latsis family.

It must be stated that the results and the cash flows of the current interim reporting date are not comparable with the ones of the corresponding interim period as a result of the Shopping and Business Center officially opening, Golden Hall in 28/11/2008 when the construction was completed. Therefore, this semi-annual financial report represents the income, the operating results and the cash flows from the operations of the Shopping and Business Center for the six-month period, contrary to the corresponding comparative period during which mainly cash flows in relation to the construction costs were presented.

These interim condensed financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on November 16, 2009.

2. Basis of preparation and summary of significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

The interim financial information of LAMDA Development SA cover the six-month period ended September 30, 2009. It has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008 which are available on the website address www.Lamda-development.net.

2.2 Accounting policies

The accounting principles that have been used in the preparation and presentation of the interim financial statements are in accordance with those used for the preparation of the Company and Group annual financial statements as of December 31, 2008.

The preparation of the Financial Statements, in conformity with IFRS, requires the use of certain estimates and assumptions which affect the balances of the assets and liabilities, the contingencies disclosure as at the balance sheet date of the financial statements and the amounts of income and expense relating to the reporting year. These estimates are based on the best knowledge of the Company's and Group's management in relation to the current conditions and actions.

New standards, amendments and interpretations to published standards that are mandatory for financial year ending 31 December 2009, as they were described in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008 either were not relevant to the Group's operations or did not have a significant impact on the financial information.

Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning during the current reporting period or subsequent reporting periods. The Group's evaluation of the effect of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is as follows:

Standards mandatory effective for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2009

IAS 1 (amendment) "Presentation of Financial Statements"

IAS 1 has been revised to enhance the usefulness of information presented in the financial. The key changes are: the requirement that the statement of changes in equity include only transactions with shareholders, the introduction of a new statement of comprehensive income that combines all items of income and expense recognised in profit or loss together with "other comprehensive income", and the requirement to present restatements of financial statements or retrospective application of a new accounting policy as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period. The Group has applied these amendments and decided to present the total comprehensive income in separate financial statement.

IAS 23 (Amendment) "Borrowing Costs"

This standard replaces the previous version of IAS 23. The benchmark treatment in the previous standard of expensing all borrowing costs to the income statement has been eliminated in the case of qualifying assets. All borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset must be capitalised. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. In accordance with the transitional requirements of the Standard, the Group adopted this as a prospective change. However, there are no existing qualifying assets during the current period and therefore no such capitalisation took place. No changes have been made for borrowing costs incurred prior to January 1, 2009 that have been expensed.

IFRS 8 "Operating Segments"

This standard supersedes IAS 14, under which segments were identified and reported based on a risk and return analysis. Under IFRS 8 segments are components of an entity regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker and are reported in the financial statements based on this internal component classification. The Group maintains the same operating segments, as stated in note 3 where there are additional disclosures and amended comparable information.

Standards mandatory effective for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2009 (no impact on the Group's financial statements)

IAS 32 (amendment) "Financial Instruments: Presentation" and consequential IAS 1 (amendment) "Presentation of Financial Statements Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation"

The amendment to IAS 32 does not have an impact on the Group's financial statements since the Group does not own such instruments.

IAS 39 (Amended) "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" – Eligible Hedged Items

This amendment is not applicable to the Group as it does not apply hedge accounting in terms of IAS 39.

IFRS 1 (Amendment) "First time adoption of IFRS" and IAS 27 (Amendment) "Consolidated and separate financial statements"

As the parent company and all its subsidiaries have already transitioned to IFRS, the amendment did not have any impact on the Group's financial statements.

IFRS 2 "Share-based payment"

The amendment did not have an impact on its financial statements, since the amendment does not affect the share options scheme as sole requirement is the service rendered from the employees.

September 30, 2009

Interpretations mandatory effective for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2009

IFRIC 13, "Customer Loyalty Programmes"

This interpretation is not relevant to the Group's operations.

IFRIC 15, "Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate"

This interpretation is not relevant to the Group's operations as no such agreements have been signed during the reporting period.

IFRIC 16, "Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation"

This interpretation is not relevant to the Group as the Group does not apply hedge accounting for any investment in a foreign operation.

Standards mandatory effective for the annual period beginning on July 1, 2009

IFRS 3 (revision) "Business combinations" and IAS 27 (amendment) "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements"

The revised IFRS 3 introduces a number of changes in the accounting for business combinations which will impact the amount of goodwill recognized, the reported results in the period that an acquisition occurs, and future reported results. Such changes include the expensing of acquisition related costs and recognizing subsequent changes in fair value of contingent consideration in the profit or loss. The amended IAS 27 requires that a change in ownership interest of a subsidiary to be accounted for as an equity transaction. Furthermore the amended standard changes the accounting for losses incurred by the subsidiary as well as the loss of control of a subsidiary. The changes introduced by these standards must be applied prospectively and will affect future acquisitions and transactions with minority interests. The Group has applied these changes form their effective date.

IFRIC 7 "Distributions of non-cash assets to owners"

This interpretation provides guidance on accounting for the following types of non-reciprocal distributions of assets by an entity to its owners acting in their capacity as owners: (a) distributions of non-cash assets and (b) distributions that give owners a choice of receiving either non-cash assets or a cash alternative. The Group will apply this interpretation from its effective date.

No new standards or amendments have been issued, which are mandatory for annual periods beginning at January 1, 2009.

3. Segment information

Primary reporting format – business segments

The Group is organised into two business segments:

  • (1) Real Estate
  • (2) Marine services

Management monitors the operating results of the divisions separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on sales, operating results and EBITDA (Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization). It is noted that the Group applies the same accounting policies as those in the financial statements in order to measure the operating segment's results. Group financing, including finance costs and finance income, as well as income taxes are measured on a group basis and are included in corporate segment without being allocated to the profit generating segments.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

The subsidiary "LAMDA Technol Flisvos Marina SA" in May proceeded in partial premature repayment of €2m of the bond loan that it has signed with Bank of Cyprus. Finally, the below mentioned scheduled capital repayments per company were realised: "PYLEA SA" €3.14m, "LAMDA Domi SA"€1.9m, "LAMDA Technol Flisvos Marina SA" €0.4m, "LAMDA Prime Properties SA" €0.36m and "LAMDA HELLIX" €0.12m.

Other Liabilities include pledged shares of subsidiaries. According to the terms of the pledge, the assigned right of the pledge extends to the potential revenues of such shares.

In addition to the issues mentioned above there are also the following particular issues:

  • The Company has been tax audited until the year 2008. For further information regarding the Group's unaudited fiscal years, refer to note 18. Consequently, the Group tax obligations have not been defined permanently.
  • At the subsidiary company "LAMDA Olympia Village SA" (ex DIMEPA) a property transfer tax of € 9,8m approximately has been imposed. The Company has appealed to the administrative courts, paying during 2005 € 836k and € 146k approximately during 2006 and € 27k during 2007 (which is included in Deposits and Other Debtors). The estimate of the management is that the imposition of the income tax is without base due to the special law provisions on the law for Olympic works. In any case, if the outcome of the case is negative, according to the share sale agreement between the Municipality of Amaroussion and the Company, the total obligation will be on the Municipality, as it relates to transfers of properties before the acquisition of the shares of the subsidiary by the Company.
  • There are disagreements between Company's subsidiary "PYLEA SA" and the constructing company "MHXANIKH SA", concerning the evaluation of constructing company's works at the trading center Mediterranean Cosmos of "PYLEA SA". Lawsuit and agreements about the height of claims have been made whose the hearing took place on 01.04.2009. The amount of the total receivables of "PYLEA SA" against "MHXANIKH SA" is € 18.340m (out of which € 2m regards moral damage) while "MHXANIKH SA" requests the amount of € 34.755m (out of which € 10m regards moral damage). It is noted that "PYLEA SA" legal consultants estimate that their claims are far greater than "MHXANIKH SA" ones.
  • At the subsidiary LAMDA TechnolFlisvos Marina, there stand in front of the State of Council two requests for cancellation of the environmental terms for the development and refurbishment of Flisvos Marina which were heard on 04.03.2009 and the decision of the Ministry of Development with which the existing waterbase has been surveyed which hearing (following many postponements) has been scheduled on 04.11.2009. The Group foresees a favorable outcome on these cases.
  • Five (5) petitions of annulment have been filled and are pending before the State Council for the subsidiary company "LAMDA Olympia Village SA", in relation to the plot of land where the Olympic Press Village (or "Olympiako Chorio Typou") and the Commercial Centre "The Mall Athens" were built. More specifically: the first of these petitions was heard on 03.05.2006 and the decision no 391/2008 of the Fifth Department of the State Council was issued committing for the Plenary Session of the State Council. Following successive continuances on 07.11.2008 and 08.05.2009, the hearing of the said petition has been scheduled on 09.10.2009. The hearing of the second petition has been re - scheduled on 02.12.2009. Following successive continuances, the hearing of the remaining three petitions has been scheduled on 12.10.2010. In accordance with the Company's legal consultants' estimate and without excluding any other outcome, should the State Council uphold its jurisprudence to date, the first petition is not expected to be sustained. The outcome of the hearing of the other four petitions will be fully connected to the Court's precedent regarding the first one.

September 30, 2009

  • In the subsidiary company "LAMDA Domi SA" the following are pending: a) five petitions before the Plenary Session of the State Council for annulment which have been scheduled to be heard on the 25.09.2009 after postponement at 07.11.2008 and 06.03.2009. "LAMDA Domi SA" has exercised intervention in all cases. The first petition for annulment turns against an agreement executed by and between "OLYMPIC PROPERTIES SA", the second petition turns against the validity of 101576/22.02.2008 common decision of Ministry for the Environment, Physical Planning and Public Works and Ministry of Culture, regarding the approval of the environmental conditions of the project, the third, fourth and fifth petitions turn against the afore-mentioned decision as well as the building permit for the refit of the building to Complex. The applicants of the first petition for annulment exercised a suspension which was rejected with the nr.1329/2008 decision of the Administrative Court of Appeals. The applicant of the third and fifth petition for annulment exercised a petition for suspension, which included a request for the issuance of an interim order for the suspension of the execution of works. This petition was rejected by the Chair of the State Council and the petition for suspension was rejected with decision nr.1327/2008 and 1328/2008, b) before the Athens Administrative Court of Appeals, two petitions for annulment which seeks the annulment and contests the validity of the original building permit for which no hearing has been scheduled yet. It is noted that for this petition, a request for the issuance of an interim order for the suspension of the execution of works. This request was rejected according to the decision 178/2008 of the judge of the Administrative Court of Appeals. The hearing of the first petition has been scheduled to be heard on the 11.11.2009 after a postponement on 04.03.2009 and 06.05.2009, while the second petition has been scheduled for hearing on 02.02.2010. According to the legal counsels who represent the company in these cases, if the State Council upholds its jurisprudence on the admissibility for hearing of a petition for annulment, the petition is not likely to be successful.

Additionally, there are various legal cases of the Group's companies, which are not expected to create material additional liabilities.

18. Income tax and fiscal years unaudited by the tax authorities

The income tax expense is based on the Management estimations of the weighted average tax rate that is expected to be applicable to profits throughout the year. Due to the increased transactions during to the ordinary course of business, the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group's companies are subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. In addition, the tax rate for the subsidiaries registered in foreign countries differs from country to country as follows: Romania 16%, Serbia 10%, Bulgaria 10%, Montenegro 9% and Netherlands 25.5%.

The annual weighted average tax rate for the current period has been affected by the Group results before tax which derive mainly from the Group's companies with registered offices in Greece, including the parent company. During current period, this rate presents a variation from the anticipating one due to the elements in the income statement that has significant contribution in the results before tax. These elements are basically non-taxable income (dividends), other non-offset taxes, differences due to tax rate decrease as well as period losses to be transferred, for which a provision of deferred tax has not been made.

The Company has been tax audited until the year 2008. During the reporting period the Company entered in unaudited fiscal years' settlement for the years 2006-2008, on which the additional amount of tax of € 276k was imposed. Also, "LAMDA Olympia Village SA" has been tax audited and the amount of €320k in company level has occurred as additional taxes while the Company as well as "PYLEA SA" is in course of tax audit. From the chart above, it is obvious that the Group's tax obligations have not been defined permanently.
