The impact of the above amendments and improvements to IFRSs has been analyzed by the Management Board. Based on the assessment the amendments do not impact the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 2022 reporting periods and have not been early adopted earlier by the Group. The Management Board do not expect that these standards have a material impact on the entity or the Group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

(b) Basis of measurement

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for investment property and SAFE Agreement (financial liability) which was measured at fair value. The methods used to measure fair values for the purpose of preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements are discussed further in Note 3(r), Note 13, Note 25 and Note 28.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the 'functional currency') being Polish Zloty ('PLN'). Polish Zloty is the presentation currency of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group, and is also the functional currency of the parent company.

The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in thousands of Polish Zloty, except when otherwise indicated.

2. Basis of preparation of Financial Statements and measurement

(d) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing-basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements, are described in the following notes:

  • ⚫ Note 5 Sales Revenue
  • ⚫ Note 13 Investment property
  • ⚫ Note 15 Deferred tax asset recognition
  • ⚫ Note 16 Inventory and residential land bank
  • ⚫ Note 25 Investors agreement ("SAFE Agreement")
  • ⚫ Note 27 Advances received
  • ⚫ Note 30 Commitments and contingencies

The Group conducts residential units projects and developing activities in dedicated operating subsidiaries. Such transactions are accounted for in accordance with IAS 2 and IFRS 15, whereby inventory is sold and revenue should be recognized after the criteria are met.

Recognition of revenue

The revenue from the sale of real estate (residential units, commercial units, etc.) is recognized at the moment when control over the real estate is transferred to the customer of mentioned real estate together with the transfer of significant risks and rewards typical to the ownership rights. According to the Company's judgement this occurs at the moment of handover of the real estate to the customer, which is based on a handover document signed by both parties and subject to the condition that the customer has paid 100% of the sale price for the real estate. More information is presented in the Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Estimation of net realizable value for inventory and residential land bank

Inventory and residential land bank is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). NRV for completed inventory (Finished goods) is assessed with reference to market conditions and prices existing at the reporting date and is determined by the Group having taken suitable external advice and in the light of recent market transactions. NRV in respect of work in progress and residential land bank is assessed with reference to market prices at the reporting date for similar completed properties, less estimated costs to complete construction and less an estimate of the time value of money to the date of completion. More information is presented in the Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Valuation of investment property

The fair value of the investment property is determined by independent real estate valuation experts based on the discounted cash flow approach or comparison approach (pairwise comparison method). The determination of the fair value of the investment property using discounted cash flow approach requires the use of estimates such as future cash flows from assets (such as lettings, tenants' profiles, future revenue streams, capital values of fixtures and fittings, any environmental matters and the overall repair and condition of the property) and discount rates applicable to those assets. Comparison approach involves an analysis of similar properties which are being sold on the market and for which the characteristics that determine the cost and the terms of the transactions are known. More information is presented in the Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. Basis of preparation of Financial Statements and measurement

(d) Use of estimates and judgments

Valuation of lease liability

According to the IFRS 16 standard the Company the lease payments shall be discounted using the rate implicit in the lease contract, or if this rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The Company decided to use incremental borrowing rate ('IBR') that was determined based on reference rate adjusted by margin. The IBR rate was built based on reference rate (30 years state bonds quotation) increased by margin which represents higher credit risk of the Company due to worse ratios, risk related to unusual length of potential financing and no possibility to establish security for such long-term financing. More information is presented is the Note 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Deferred tax asset recognition

Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses and deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax strategies. More information is presented in the Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Valuation of financial liability at fair value through profit or loss

The fair value of the financial liability at fair value through profit or loss is determined by independent valuator based on the Monte Carlo simulation model and the Black & Scholes model. The determination of the fair value of the liability requires the use of estimates such as share price, exercise price, loan maturity, risk free interest, credit risk, expected volatility and expected dividend yield. More information is presented in the Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Significant financing component within customer advances

The Group enters into sale agreements with clients, which require advance payments in accordance with the agreed schedule. Based on the analysis of the agreements, it was found that they do not contain a significant element of financing due to the fact that advance payments from clients are intended to secure the performance of the agreement (i.e. they guarantee that the customer will not withdraw from the purchase and from the customer's point of view constitute security that the given premises will be sold to him at the agreed price), so they are made for reasons other than providing financing to the developer (IFRS 15 par. 62c). In addition, if the flat finds a buyer quite late, i.e. shortly before signing the acceptance report, the difference between the cash price paid once by such a customer and the price paid by the customer in the event of signing the contract significantly earlier does not result from interest in this period, but from changes in market prices housing.

Financial assets – write-off

Financial assets are written-off, in whole or in part, when the Group exhausted all practical recovery efforts and has concluded that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. The write-off represents a derecognition event. The Group may write-off financial assets that are still subject to enforcement activity when the Group seeks to recover amounts that are contractually due, however, there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.

Policy on default

For purposes of measuring probability of default, the Group defines default as a situation when the debtor meets the unlikeliness-to-pay criteria listed below:

  • the debtor is deceased;
  • the debtor is insolvent;
  • it is becoming likely that the debtor will enter bankruptcy.

2. Basis of preparation of Financial Statements and measurement

(e) Basis of consolidation

These Consolidated Financial Statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2022. Control is achieved when the Group 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. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has:

  • ⚫ power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
  • ⚫ exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee;
  • ⚫ the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity while any resultant gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognized at fair value.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same period as the financial statement of Parent. The Group entities keep books of accounts in accordance with accounting policies specified in the Accounting Act dated 29 September 1994 ('the Accounting Act') with subsequent amendments and the regulations issued based on that Act (all together: 'Polish Accounting Standards'). These 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 in conformity with IFRSs as adopted by EU.

Where property is acquired, via corporate acquisitions or otherwise, the management considers the substance of the assets and activities of the acquired entity in determining whether the acquisition represents the acquisition of a business or assets. Where such acquisitions are not judged to be an acquisition of a business, they are not treated as business combinations. Rather, the cost to acquire the corporate entity is allocated between the identifiable assets and liabilities of the entity based on their relative fair values at the acquisition date. Accordingly, no goodwill or additional deferred taxation arises. Otherwise, acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations.

3. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently in all periods presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements.

(a) Foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Group entities at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions using:

  • ⚫ the purchase or selling rate of the bank whose services are used by the Group in case of foreign currency sales, as well in the case as of the debt or liability payment transactions;
  • ⚫ the average rate specified for a given currency by the National Bank of Poland as on the transaction date, unless a customs declaration or other binding document indicates another rate – in case of other transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.

(b) Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenues from the sale of residential units are recognized when (or as) the Group has satisfied a performance obligation by transferring a promised good (unit) to a customer, i.e. the revenues are recognized at point in time. A residential unit is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of the residential unit (i.e. upon signing protocol of technical acceptance and transfer of key to the unit and payment of the entire amount, resulting from the sale agreement), after receiving valid occupancy permit for the building based on hand-over protocol signed between the Group representatives and the customer and provided that the entire amount resulting from the sale agreement has been paid by the customer.

Advances received related to pre-sales of residential units, are presented as deferred income, in the Statement of financial position when they do not meet the criteria to be recognized as revenue. When they subsequently meet these criteria, they are recognized as revenue.

The Group recognizes the provision for the warranties separately. Warranty is treated as a separate performance obligation.

(c) Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument to another entity.

Financial assets

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 transaction costs. In the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or the financial liability. 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.

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are 'solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)' on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.

The classification and subsequent measurement of debt financial assets also depends on the Group's business model for managing the related assets portfolio.

3. Significant accounting policies

(c) Financial instruments

The business model reflects how the Group manages the assets in order to generate cash flows – whether the Group's objective is: (i) solely to collect the contractual cash flows from the assets ("hold to collect contractual cash flows",) or (ii) to collect both the contractual cash flows and the cash flows arising from the sale of assets ("hold to collect contractual cash flows and sell") or, if neither of (i) and (ii) is applicable, the financial assets are classified as part of "other" business model and measured at FVTPL.

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 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.

For the Group the first category is most relevant. Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired. Assets to which above policy applies:

  • Cash and cash equivalents,
  • Cash on escrow classified as "other current financial asset",
  • Loan receivables,
  • Trade receivables.

The Group recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

ECLs are recognized in two steps. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).

For trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

3. Significant accounting policies

(c) Financial instruments

Financial liabilities

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.

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. 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.

Financial liability at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at fair value. A gain or loss on a financial liability that is designated as at fair value through profit or loss is presented as follows:

  • the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income;
  • the remaining amount of change in the fair value of the liability is presented in profit or loss in line: "Gain/loss in fair value of financial instrument at fair value through profit and loss",

unless the treatment of the effects of changes in the liability's credit risk described in (a) would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, then all changes in fair value (including the effects of changes in the credit risk of the liability) are presented in profit and loss.

Category Statement of financial position item Measurement
Loans granted Amortized cost method
Cash and cash equivalent Amortized cost method
Assets measured at amortized costs Trade and other receivables Amortized cost method
Other current financial assets Amortized cost method
Bond loans Amortized cost method
Liabilities measured at amortized costs Secured bank loans Amortized cost method
Trade and other payables and accrued expenses Amortized cost method
Liabilities measured at fair value
through profit and loss Financial liability measured at FVPL Fair value

The financial instruments of the Group are classified into one of the following categories:

(d) Property and equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

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

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of selfconstructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located.

When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Group recognizes such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation, respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred.

3. Significant accounting policies

(d) Property and equipment and intangible assets

(ii) Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each component of an item of property and equipment.

The estimated useful life of property and equipment, depending on the class of asset, ranges as below:

  • Buildings: from 5 to 40 years
  • Equipment: from 2,5 to 10 years
  • Cars: approximately up to 5 years
  • Other tangible assets: from 2 to 5 years
  • Intangible assets: from 2 to 5 years

Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Land is not depreciated.

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

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at the reporting date, and adjusted prospectively since the beginning of the following year, if appropriate.

(e) Leases

The Group recognizes assets and liabilities resulting from leases with a period exceeding 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. The only material lease agreements with a period exceeding 12 months into which the Group has entered, are the rights of perpetual usufruct of real estate properties.

The method of valuation and presentation of lease in the Group's financial statements

The Group recognizes a lease liability, measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of signing the lease contract. The Group recognizes the respective right-of-use asset at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments recognized immediately before the commencement date. The Group has decided to present right-of-use assets under the same item in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, under which the relevant underlying assets would be presented if they were owned by the Group. The lease liabilities are presented separately from other liabilities in long term liabilities with respect to lease of investment properties and short term liabilities with respect to lease of inventory.

The right of perpetual usufruct of land related to residential projects:

Assets - was recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position under "Inventory".

Liabilities - was presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a short term under "Lease liabilities related to perpetual usufruct of land".

Costs - the Group depreciates the right of use asset on straight line basis over the lease period. On the other hand the Group recognizes finance expense to reflect interest expense on lease liability. Those costs are capitalized to Inventory as long as development project qualifies for capitalization.

3. Significant accounting policies

(e) Leases

The right of perpetual usufruct of land related to residential projects:

Derecognition – at the moment occupancy permit is issued the Group becomes the owner of the land (based on The Act of July 20, 2018 on transformation of the right of perpetual usufruct of land built for housing purposes into the ownership right of these lands). Since then the Group is no longer liable for perpetual usufruct fees but pays conversion fees. At the moment occupancy permit is issued and revenue from the sale of residential units is recognized (when the performance obligations are satisfied and when the customer obtains control of the good, i.e. upon signing of the protocol of technical acceptance and the transfer of the key to the buyer of the residential unit and total payment obtained) the liability for conversion fee and related asset are reclassified to other payables and other receivables and are presented under "Trade and other payables and accrued expenses" and "Trade and other receivables and prepayments" respectively. The Group is legally released from the obligation to pay conversion fees only upon signing the final notary deed for transferring the ownership of unit together with share in the land to the client. Carrying amounts of receivables and payables are derecognized from Consolidated Statement of Financial Position once final notary deeds are signed with clients.

Despite the fact that based on the Group's core business the operating cycle of inventory is on average 5 years i.e. plots of land are purchased for the purpose of the development of residential projects and transferring the ownership of the units together with share in the land to the client. Under IFRS 16 the Group is not allowed to consider the period for which the Group expects to be the usufructuary despite the fact that the period is quite precisely known. Therefore once lease liabilities are recognized, the Group is required to discount all future payments resulting from the right of perpetual usufruct for the period for which the right is granted to individual properties (it can be up to 99 years). Following the requirements of IFRS 16 the Group recognize lease liabilities of which majority will not be paid by the Group.

The right of perpetual usufruct of investment properties:

Assets - was recognized in the statement of financial position under "Investment properties".

Liabilities - was presented in the statement of financial position as a long term under "Lease liabilities related to perpetual usufruct of investment property".

Costs - the Group fair values the right of use asset at each balance sheet date and recognizes finance expense to reflect interest expense on lease liability.

Other leases

Assets – the right of use assets (cars) was recognized in the statement of financial position under "Property and equipment" less accrued depreciation.

Liabilities - was presented in the statement of financial position as a long term under "Lease liabilities related to perpetual usufruct of investment property" less repayment of capital part of the lease.

Costs - the Group depreciates the right of use asset on straight-line basis for the full duration of the lease at each balance sheet date and recognizes finance expense to reflect interest expense on lease liability.

3. Significant accounting policies

(f) Investment properties, investment properties under construction

Investment properties and investment properties under construction are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. After initial recognition, as at each reporting date, investment property under construction that meets the premises for their valuation, and investment property are measured at fair value. The fair value measurement is updated at least quarterly. Profits or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. The result on the valuation of investment properties is presented in the profit / loss on changes in the fair value of investment property line.

For investment properties under construction, the premises for valuation are met in the case of projects where a significant part of the risks related to the construction process has been eliminated and it is possible to measure reliably at fair value. In other cases, when it is not possible to reliably determine the fair value, the value of real estate under construction is valued according to the cost method.

The Group has specified the conditions under which it begins the process of analyzing whether significant risks relating to investment properties under construction have been eliminated. There are specific conditions analyzed by the Group if the risks are minimalized which are basis for the fair value valuation, like for example, but not limited to, obtaining building permit, contracting construction work.

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

Land and buildings measured at fair value are updated in such a way as to reflect the market conditions prevailing at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of investment property is the price that would have been received for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in a transaction between market participants carried out on normal conditions at the valuation date. Fair values are subject to verification by external valuations prepared by experts in cooperation with the Management Board. To determine the fair value of the property, independent appraisers use valuation methods most appropriate for the valuation of the property depending on the individual asset.

(g) Residential land bank and Inventories

The Group estimates that an operating cycle for projects/stage of a big project lasts for about 5 years. The operating cycle is divided into two phases: (i) the pre-construction preparation phase lasting about 3 years (obtaining necessary site permits, environmental decisions or construction permits, designing, etc.), and (ii) construction phase lasting also about 2 years.

When a project is within the operating cycle the project is presented as short-term assets under inventory, in other cases the project is presented as long-term under Residential land bank.

Inventories are valued at the purchase price plus capitalized costs (incurred during preparation for project implementation), however, not higher than the net realizable value from the sale. The purchase price includes costs incurred in connection with construction of the project.

Inventories consists of real estate projects related to realization of multi-family block of flats or detached houses for individual clients.

(i) Inventory

Inventory is measured at cost increased by capitalized costs incurred relating to the preparation of the projects for construction, in the value not higher than the net realizable value. The cost of inventory includes expenditure incurred relating to the construction of a project. Inventory comprises residential real estate projects to individual customers.

3. Significant accounting policies

(g) Residential land bank and Inventories

(i) Inventory

Project construction costs include:

  • a) land or leasehold rights for land,
  • b) construction costs paid to the general contractor building the residential project,
  • c) planning and design costs,
  • d) perpetual usufruct fees and real estate taxes incurred during the period of construction,
  • e) borrowing costs to the extent they are directly attributable to the development of the project,
  • f) professional fees attributable to the development of the project,
  • g) construction overheads and other directly related costs.
  • h) lease assets, see note 3 (e).

Inventory is recognized as a cost of sales in the statement of comprehensive income when the sale of residential units is recognized.

(ii) Residential land bank

Long-term part of the land bank (if a commencement of construction phase is not planned within the period of 3 years from the reporting date) is presented in non-current assets of the consolidated statement of financial position, as "Residential land bank", whereas short-term part of the land bank is presented in current assets of the consolidated statement of financial position, in inventory balance. Residential land bank is measured at cost increased by capitalized costs incurred relating to the preparation of the projects for construction, in the total value not higher than the net realizable value.

(h) Equity

(i) Share capital

Share capital includes the proceeds received from the issue of ordinary shares on the nominal value in exchange for cash.

(ii) Share premium

Share premium includes the excess of proceeds received from the issue of shares over the nominal value of shares. Shares issuance costs are deducted from the share premium.

(iii) Treasury shares

Own shares that are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognized at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group's own equity instruments.

(i) Earnings per share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. The computations of the basic earnings per share are determined on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings per share are determined by adjusting the statement of comprehensive income and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options granted and rights to obtain shares by employees.

(j) Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset's or a cash generating unit's recoverable amount is estimated.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.

3. Significant accounting policies

(j) Impairment of non-financial assets

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

Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

(k) Provisions

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

(l) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the inventory of properties which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. The interest capitalized 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 capitalized equals the gross interest incurred on those borrowings. Interest is capitalized as from the commencement of the development work until the date of completion. The capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended if there are prolonged periods when development activity is interrupted.

(m) Income tax expense

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax expense is calculated according to tax regulations in effect in the jurisdiction in which the individual companies are domiciled.

Deferred income tax is provided, using the balance sheet method, for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, and for tax losses carried forward, except for the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. At each reporting date deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(n) Other current financial assets

Other current financial assets in the statement of financial positions comprise only funds deposited on escrow accounts. The separate line was created due to new legal regulations "Act on the Protection of Rights of a Dwelling Unit or House Buyer" which resulted in the need to open individual escrow accounts for advances paid by the customers of the Group for the purchases of apartments. Amounts collected on individual escrow accounts are measured at amortised cost less expected credit losses.

(o) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial positions comprise cash at banks and on hand and shortterm deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, except for collateralized deposits.

For the purpose of the consolidated statement cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and shortterm deposits as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Cash and cash equivalents are measured at amortized costs less expected credit losses.

(p) Employee benefits

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred.

The Company's subsidiaries are required, under applicable regulations, to pay, on a monthly basis, social security contributions for the employees' future pension benefits. These benefits, according to IAS 19 'Employee Benefits', are state plans and are characterized as defined contribution plans. Therefore, the Company's subsidiaries have no legal or constructive obligation to pay future pension benefits and their obligation is limited to payment of contributions as they fall due.

(q) Investment in joint ventures

A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

Under the equity method, the investment in a joint venture is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Group's share of net assets of the joint venture since the acquisition date. Upon making an investment in an associate or joint venture, the amount by which the costs of such investment exceed the value of the Group's share in the net fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of this entity is recognized as goodwill and included in the carrying amount of the underlying investment.

The statement of profit or loss reflects the Group's share of the results of operations of the joint venture. Any change in Other comprehensive income of joint ventures is presented as part of the Group's Other comprehensive income. In addition, when there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the joint venture, the Group recognizes its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Dividends declared by the joint venture decrease the carrying amount of the investment in the joint venture. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the joint venture.

The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognize an impairment loss on its investment in joint venture. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the joint venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the joint venture and its carrying value, and then recognizes the loss as 'Share of profit/(loss) of a joint venture' in the statement of profit or loss.

Upon loss of joint control over the joint venture, the Group measures and recognizes any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the joint venture upon loss of joint control and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss.

3. Significant accounting policies

(r) Fair Value

The Group measures investment properties and financial liability ("SAFE" Agreement) at fair value at each balance sheet date. The financial liability is measured at Fair value through profit and loss in its entirety. The movements in fair value are recorded in profit and loss, except for the fair value changes arising from changes in the Company's own credit risk, which should be accounted for through other comprehensive income with no subsequent recycling. In addition, fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost are disclosed in Note 28 and Note 29.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • - in the principal market for the asset or liability, or
  • - in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Group.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

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

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

4. Segment reporting

The Group's operating segments are defined as separate entities developing particular residential projects, which for reporting purposes were aggregated. The aggregation for reporting purpose is based on geographical locations (Warsaw, Poznań, Wrocław and Szczecin) and type of activity (development of apartments, development of houses). Moreover, for particular assets the reporting was based on type of income: rental income from investment property or from so-called Private Rent Sector. The segment reporting method requires also the Company to present separately joint venture within Warsaw segment. There has been no changes in the basis of segmentation or in the basis of measurement of segment profit or loss from the last annual financial statements. There is no concentration of the services to one client, the revenue is allocated to many clients, mostly individual clients.

4. Segment reporting

According to the Management Board's assessment, the operating segments identified have similar economic characteristics. Aggregation based on the type of development within the geographical location has been applied since primarily the location and the type of development determine the average margin that can be realized on each project and the project's risk factors. Considering the fact that the construction process for apartments is different from that for houses and considering the fact that the characteristics of customers buying apartments slightly differ from those of customers interested in buying houses, aggregation by type of development within the geographical location has been used for segment reporting and disclosure purposes.

Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated indirectly based on reasonable criteria. Unallocated assets comprise mainly unallocated cash and cash equivalents and income tax assets. Unallocated liabilities comprise mainly income tax liabilities and bond loans. The unallocated result (loss) comprises mainly head office expenses. IFRS adjustments represents the elimination of the Joint venture segment for reconciliation of the profit (loss), assets and liabilities to the consolidated numbers. Joint ventures are accounted using the equity method.

The results of activities in the individual segments are assessed mainly on the basis of sale revenues, cost of sales of residential projects, assigned marketing costs and others operating costs/income assigned to each segment. Additionally the Group analyses the profit and gross margin on sales as well as result before tax (including financial costs and income assigned to the segment) generated by the individual markets.

Data presented in the table below are aggregated by type of development within the geographical location:

(1) Revenues are recognized at the moment when control over the real estate is transferred to the buyer, which is based on a signed technical acceptance protocol, handover the keys to the buyer and reception of full payment.

(2) Revenues from the sale of land and from the sale of services are appropriately allocated to a given segment, i.e. the sale of the Naturalis project was allocated to the Warsaw segment apartments in accordance with the land development conditions, revenues from services were allocated to the Warsaw - Apartments segment as they relate to the re-invoicing of services provided for JV Wilanów Tulip, which investment concerns apartments in Warsaw

5. Sales revenue and cost of sales

The majority of Group's revenues are generated through development and sale of units, primarily apartments, in residential real-estate projects to individual customers in Poland ("residential units"). The Group recognizes revenues at the moment performance obligations are satisfied. According to Group's policy the performance obligation is satisfied at the moment, the residential unit is handed over to the customer. It occurs only after construction process is finalized meaning occupancy permit received and the full amount is paid by client. The agreements with the customers do not contain variable considerations. The agreements, in the opinion of the Group, do not contain a significant financing component. Based on such characteristics of revenues, the Group, as a rule, does not present any receivables or other contract assets, except for costs to obtain the contract, capitalized to prepayments. Contract liabilities, are reflected by advances received, which are disclosed in the Note 27.

The effective income tax rate for the year ended 31 December 2022 amounted to 34.25% (27.20% in comparative period). Higher effective tax rate was due to higher non-deductable costs for tax purposes. Which is the result of the polish tax regulation limiting certain type of costs recognition and amounts per year as well as higher tax losses written off which is mainly due to restructuring process in the Group (mergers) done in 2022 and planned for 2023.

Measurement of the fair value

At the end of each reporting period, the Management Board conducts an assessment of the fair value of each property, taking into account the most up-to-date appraisals. The Management Board determines the value of the property within the range of reasonable estimates of the fair value. The best evidence to determine the fair value is the current prices of similar properties in an active market.

In the absence of such information, management analyzes information from various sources, including:

  • current prices from an active market for other types of real estate or recent prices of similar properties from a less active market, adjusted to take account of these differences (comparison method),
  • discounted cash flow forecasts based on reliable estimates of future cash flows (income approach),
  • capitalized income forecasts based on net market income and capitalization rate estimates derived from market data analysis.

13. Investment property

Measurement of the fair value

All fair value estimates of real estate determined in this way, except for investment land, are included in level 3. In this method, the key input data are prices per square meter of comparable (in terms of location and size) plots in the same region obtained in sales transactions in the current year (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The unobservable input data on the Level 3 was average period of comparable transactions. For the comparison approach the external appraiser used the transactions from the period 2021-2022 to perform the valuation.

The below table presents the impact of the valuation on the profit and loss for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Income approach

Investment property at Gwiaździsta street (Office building) is valued at fair value determined as at 31 December 2022 by an independent appraiser, having an appropriate recognized professional qualification using the method of discounted cash flows. As at 31 December 2021, the fair value of Investment property was determined by an independent appraiser as well. Below table presents assumptions used for the valuation.

*rental value consists of monthly rate of PLN 50,63 per m2 (based on the valuation report) multiplied by total area.

During the year ended 31 December 2022 and 2021 the rental income from investment property amounted to PLN 618 thousand and PLN 559 thousand, respectively. The investment property is currently occupied. In 2022, direct operating expenses (including repairs and maintenance) arising from investment property that generated rental income during the period amounted to PLN 255 thousands and direct operating expenses (including repairs and maintenance) arising from investment property that did not generate rental income during the period amounted to PLN 131 thousand.

If the yields used for the appraisals of investment property on 31 December 2022, had been 100 basis points higher, the fair value of the investments would have been 11.8% lower. In this situation, the Group's equity would have been PLN 973 thousand lower.

Input data and the inter-relationship between them and fair value

There are inter-relationships between unobservable inputs. Expected rental fees may impact the net operating income and fair value as well as different time period as well as wages applied to the comparative prices may result in different average price.

Comparison approach (pairwise comparison method)

This approach is used to value investment property for which data on comparable property sale transactions on a given market is available as well as land and residential property.Valuation of these types of property involves an analysis of similar properties which are being sold on the market and for which the characteristics that determine the purchase price and the terms of the transactions are known. Since very few comparable transactions are executed on the market and the prices of such transactions differ widely, the valuation was performed using the pairwise comparison method. The Group uses this approach mainly to value undeveloped properties or developed properties with unspecified use or zoning on which no capital expenditure has been made.

Realization of deferred tax assets

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax strategies in making this assessment. In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset (before offsetting against deferred tax liability), the Group will need to generate future taxable income of approximately PLN 242,579 thousand. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible. The management believes there is a higher probability that the Group will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The amount of the deferred tax asset which is considered realizable, could however be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the tax loss carry-forward period are reduced.

Tax losses in Poland are required to be utilized within 5 years following the period in which they originated, subject to the limitation that a maximum of 50% of the loss carry-forward can be used in one year. Since 2019 there is allowance of one time up to PLN 5.0 million tax loss utilization in a year and the surplus from this amount is utilized according to the 50% of the tax loss in one year as described above.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets relate primarily to tax loss carry-forwards, which are not considered probable of realization prior to their expiration.

The Company did not recognize the entire deferred tax asset at consolidation level resulting from contributions as the recoverability of such assets is uncertain. Total unrecognized deferred tax assets as at 31 December 2022 are estimated to be PLN 50 thousand (31 December 2021: PLN 50 thousand).

In the period ended 31 December 2022 the Company decided to allocate purchased on 29 March 2022 project KEN to the land designated for development in the total amount of PLN 12,187 thousand. The allocation was due to the fact that based on the purchase agreement the current user of the building has the right to evacuate not earlier than the end of 2024, according to the management assessment the process of evacuation is complex and might take even more then 2 years.

In the period ended 31 December 2021 the Company decided to move to Inventory project Vivaldi in the total amount of PLN 7,766 thousand and sold the land from Naturalis project in amount of PLN 24,976 thousand.

Based on the conditions of bonds V and W transactions with related-parties (shareholders holding more than 25% of the shares in the Group "within the meaning of IAS 24 or with related parties "including with entities controlling the Group whether jointly or individually, whether directly or indirectly or with their subsidiaries which are not members of the Group) shall not exceed the aggregate amount of PLN 1.0 million during any given calendar year.

During the year ended 31 December 2022 and year ended 31 December 2021, the consulting fees related to A. Luzon Group amounted to PLN 900 thousand and PLN 862 thousand respectively.

Impact of IFRS 16 on financial ratios in bond covenants:

Terms and conditions of issuance of Bonds of the Group ("T&C's") provide that only certain, specified types of financial indebtedness should be taken into account when determining the level of financial indebtedness for the purpose of calculating financial ratios in accordance with T&C's. In particular, certain T&C's require that financial indebtedness resulting from finance lease agreements (in Polish: umowy leasingu finansowego) should be included in calculation of the financial indebtedness. Those T&C's do not provide that the indebtedness resulting from finance lease agreements shall also include other financial indebtedness which is recognized as lease liability in accordance with IFRS 16.

Given the above, and taking into the account the type of activities carried out by the Group, despite changes in the IFRS in this respect, the Group concluded that inclusion of other type of financial indebtedness, in particular liabilities from annual fees for perpetual usufruct, for the purposes of calculations of financial ratios would not be in line with T&C's and therefore the Group does not include such finance lease alike items in such calculations.

For additional information about IFRS 16 see Note 24.

The above agreements grant the Investors certain rights applicable after the Group is delisted from the regulated market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, including the right to subscribe for instruments convertible into shares in the Group, as well as the right to convert their respective investments into shares or bonds in A. Luzon Group.

The above agreements do not impose any restrictive covenants or onerous undertakings on the part of the Group as well as it does not bear any interest. The respective instrument should be classified as a financial liability because it includes the obligation to deliver cash to investors in the event of change of control and it includes a conversion option that does not meet the fixed-for-fixed criteria. The Group designated the financial liability as measured at FVPL entirely, on initial recognition. No amount was recognized through the other comprehensive income.

As at 31 December 2022 the fair value of the SAFE is ILS 56,418 thousand (PLN 70,506 thousand) based on the arm's-length transactions made as of the valuation date. The profit in fair value valuation in the amount of PLN 4,121 thousand has been recognized in profit and loss. The liability is due in August 2023, with the possibility for the investors to decide about the extension for the next 12 months.

25. Investors agreement ("SAFE Agreement")

The below table presents the payments made by the investors and the valuation of the liability as at the transaction date and as at 31 December 2022:

103,629

Valuation process and valuation techniques

The valuations of the SAFE was performed by external advisors Prometheus Financial Advisory, which specilizes in financial accounting and complex financial instruments. The valuation of the instrument was determined in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practise Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Group Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, (the "AICPA Practice Aid") and according to the principles of valuation of equity securities of private companies issued as part of compensation. The assumptions used in the valuation model are based on the future expectations combined with the Group's management judgement. Numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of the ordinary shares as of the date of each option grant, including the factors:

a) the prices, rights, preferences and privileges of the preferred shares;

b) current business and market conditions and projections;

c) the Group's stage of development;

d) the likelihood of a liquidity event for the ordinary shares underlying these options, such as an initial public offering or sale of the Group, given prevailing market conditions.

For valuation purposes, each SAFE agreement has two components: equity (assuming a public offering of the Company's shares in Israel and a listing of the Company's shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (collectively "IPO")) and debt. As of the valuation date, i.e. December 31, 2022, the Company's Management Board estimates that the probability of an IPO has decreased to 0%, due to significant formal complications, particularly (the obligation to pay taxes for capital gains; the obligation to pay taxes on dividend distribution; the registration for tax purposes in Poland and to have taxpayer number; the obligation to report on tax incomes on a yearly basis) tax complications for potential shareholders acquiring the Company's shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

Based on the above, Group's management does not anticipate an IPO on the Israeli Stock Exchange before finding possible solutions to these problems. Therefore, valuation was focused on the valuation of the debt component only.

In order to valuate the fair value of the SAFE, the loss of the investors was valuated resulting from the fact that they were promised bonds with a YTM of 3% (Yield to Maturity), while the YTM of Luzon bond (Series 10) in the market is 6.54%.

In order to estimate the fair value of the SAFE, the investors' loss was reduced from the original SAFE Amount.

Estimation of fair values

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

  • trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other current financial assets and trade and other payables and accrued expenses: the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments;
  • secured bank loans and loans granted to joint ventures: the fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using discount rates offered to the Group for similar instruments of comparable maturities by the Group's bankers. The own non-performance risk as at 31 December 2022 was assessed as insignificant.
  • bonds: the fair value is set based on the bond price on Catalyst as at 31 December 2022.

28. Fair value estimation of financial assets and liabilities

Interest rates used for determining fair value

The interest rates used to discount estimated cash flows (PLN denominated), where applicable, are based on WIBOR plus margin as at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021 and are as follows:

As at 31 December 2022 2021
Secured bank loans 9.22%-10.04% 5.4-6.8%
Loans granted 5-6% 4.23%-6%

29. Fair value measurement hierarchy

The table below provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group's assets and liabilities:

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

Litigations

Ursus Centralny

On 19 November 2021, the State Treasury (Skarb Państwa) – President of the Capital City of Warsaw notified Ronson Development Sp. z o.o. – Ursus Centralny Sp. k. (subsidiary, "the Company") on the termination of the annual fee for perpetual usufruct of land owned by the State Treasury, located in Warsaw at 6 and 6A Taylor st. The Company received a decision to pay the annual fee in the new amount from 1 January 2022, i.e .:

  • for 2022 in the amount of PLN 476 thousands
  • for 2023 in the amount of PLN 2,034 thousands
  • for 2024 and subsequent years in the amount of PLN 3,591 thousands

The Management Board of the Company submitted an application to the Local Government Boards of Appeal in Warsaw for a determination that the increase in the fee for perpetual usufruct was unjustified. The Group treats it as the contingent liability.

30. Commitments and contingencies

Litigations

Ursus Centralny

On 7 April 2022, the Local Government Boards of Appeal in Warsaw received a letter from the State Treasury – the President of the Capital City of Warsaw, which showed that there was no possibility of reaching a settlement in the above case.

On 1 July 2022 the Company received a judgment of 25 May 2022 from the Local Government Boards of Appeal dismissing the company's application. Therefore, on 13 July 2022, the Company submitted a letter to the District Court in Warsaw. In the opinion of the Company's Management the judgment of the Local Government Boards of Appeal is defective and cannot stand, and objection is justified and necessary.

The resolution of this case is not expected in 2022 nor in 2023 and as a result any assesment of the outcome of this case can not be reliable enough at this stage. In case of a loss in the court, the result would affect the value of the right of use assets related to inventory and the lease liabilities for perpetual usufruct right related to inventory.

Galileo

On 3 February 2023, in the case against Ronson Development Sp. z o. o. – Estate Sp. k., a subsidiary of the Company which ran the Galileo development project (the "Galileo Company"), a judgment was issued obliging the Galileo Company to pay the plaintiff (the buyer of the premises in this project) the amount of PLN 80,000 with statutory interest from the date of filing the lawsuit (May 28, 2013) as a reduction in the price of the premises due to its defects. The judgment was issued by the court of second instance and is final and enforceable. Galileo is a defendant in 10 similar cases that are being considered by the court of first instance. In connection with the above judgment, the Company decided to create a provision for other similar cases in the total amount of PLN 2.1 million.

At the same time, Galileo is the plaintiff in the case against Eiffage Polska Budownictwo S.A. the general contractor of the Galileo development project ("Eiffage"), its insurer and other entities involved in the implementation of the investment and their insurers, the subject of which is recognition of the liability of Eiffage and others for damage to the Galileo Company related to the improper implementation of this project and compensation. In addition, Galileo has already obtained partial compensation from the insurers of some entities involved in the implementation of the Galileo project.

Luzon Group, one of the Company's larger (indirect) shareholders, whose shares are listed on the Tel Aviv stock exchange, the first quarter reports, semi-annual reports and third quarter reports are subject to a full scope review by the Company's auditors. The Company has agreed with A. Luzon Group that the costs for the first and third quarter auditors' reviews will be shared between the Company and its shareholder.

The description regarding private issuance of options for shares of Luzon Group is described in the Note 36.

32. Financial risk management, objectives and policies

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk and inflation risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and the overall security stability of the EU area due to the Ukraine War. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The Management Board reviews and updates policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarized below. The Group also monitors the market price risk arising from all financial instruments.

The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge currency or interest rate risks arising from the Group's operations and its sources of finance. It has been throughout the year ended 31 December 2021 and continued in the period ended 31 December 2022, the Group's policy that no trading in (derivative) financial instruments shall be undertaken.

The Group's principal financial instruments comprise cash balances, other current financial assets, loans granted to JVs and third parties, bank loans, bonds, financial instruments measured through FVPL, trade receivables and trade payables. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to manage the Group's liquidity and to raise finance for the Group's operations.

In terms of risks specific for the sector, in which the Group operates, there is a potential increase in construction costs, a significant increase in interest rates, the challenge of securing lands for reasonable prices which can lead to the significant negative impact on the margins of new phases and projects, a prolongation of administrative procedures as well as an increasing competition in the market are considered to be the most significant uncertainties for the financial period ending 31 December 2022.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and receivables, loans granted to JV and third parties, as well as other current financial asset.

The Group is making significant cash payments as security for preliminary land purchase agreements. The Group minimizes its credit risk arising from such payments by registering advance repayment obligations in the mortgage register of the respective property. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis (analysis of overdue receivables from Clients, monitoring of the financial institutions credit risk, control of the liquidity situation of the JV and third parties). The Group has no information that any counter parties will fail in meeting their obligations. The carrying amounts of the financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.

32. Financial risk management, objectives and policies

Credit risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk as at 31 December 2022 and as at 31 December 2021 was as follows:

As at 31 December 2022 2021
In thousands of Polish Zloty (PLN)
Trade and other receivables 15,254 4,261

Cash and cash equivalents 51,185 133,434
Other current financial assets 11,217 8,794
Total 69,386 148,429

The Group places its cash and cash equivalents and other current financial assets in financial institutions with high credit ratings. Management has no information that any counterparty will fail to meet its obligations. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Group's customer base. The credit quality of cash at banks and short-term bank deposits can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings. The Group uses the EuroRating Agency for the below analysis of credit risks of financial institutions.

The Group keeps cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets in four financial institutions.

Cash and cash equivalents and escrow accounts presented in Other financial assets in SoFP are considered to have low credit risk. The company holds the accounts in financial institutions with investment grade credit rating published by at least one major rating agency. While Other financial assets and Cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments, such as bond loans, bank loans, cash and cash equivalents. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing return.

32. Financial risk management, objectives and policies

Market risk

(i) Foreign currency risk

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on receivables and payables denominated in a currency other than PLN to a limited extent only. As at 31 December 2022 and 2021, trade receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies were insignificant.

(ii) Price risk

The Group's exposure to marketable and non-marketable securities price risk does not exists because the Group has not invested in securities as at 31 December 2022 and as at 31 December 2021.

(iii) Interest rate risk

The Group did not enter into any fixed-rate borrowings transaction. The Group's variable-rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows due to changes in interest rates. Short-term receivables and payables are not exposed to interest rate risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.

The Group monitors its risk to a shortage of funds using a recurring liquidity planning tool. This tool considers the maturity of both its financial investments and financial assets (e.g. accounts receivable, other financial assets) and projected cash flows from operations. The Group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans, bond loans and financing from external investors (SAFE agreement).

The Group entered into 5 separate SAFE agreements in which the Company obtained a total funding of ILS 60 million (PLN 70.5 million as at 31 December 2022) via israeli institutional investors (for further details see Note 25). Apart from that there was no material change in the contractual undiscounted cash outflows for financial liabilities, except for the assumption of new loans and redemption of existing loans during the year ended 31 December 2022 as described in Notes 23.

Investment property and financial liabilities resulting from the SAFE agreement are measured at fair value estimated by an independent appraiser (details in Note 25 and 13). During the period ended 31 December 2022 there were significant changes in the business or economic circumstances that affect the fair value of the group's financial assets and financial liabilities. The impact of this changes has been recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Interest rate risk

A vast majority of loans and borrowings obtained by the Group is against variable interest rates that are based on 6 months WIBOR rates plus a margin. As at 31 December 2022 the 6M WIBOR rate reached 7.14% (as at 31 December 2021 amounted to 2.84%) which reflects 12 month increase of 151.4%. The changes in the WIBOR rates will have material impact on the cash flow and the profitability of the Group. The Group did not use any hedging instruments to mitigate the interest risk as the interest rates in Poland were very low for a long time and the Group was benefiting from low floating rates. Due to the last year high inflation, the floating rates increased considerably exposing the Group for high interest rates. The Group considered hedging instruments but at this stage, there was no benefit for doing so as costs of hedging together with the caped interests were similar to the floating rates the Group will pay.

32. Financial risk management, objectives and policies

Interest rate risk

The National Benchmark Reform Working Group (NGR), established by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, is working on the implementation of a new RFR-type reference index - WIRON (Warsaw interest Rate Overnight), which will replace WIBOR and WIBID. The Roadmap published by NGR explains that the change is taking place under the BMR Regulation as part of the IBOR reform. Completion of the reform is planned by the end of 2024, while the implementation by market participants of a new offer of financial products using the WIRON index is planned for 2023 and 2024. The method of replacing the existing rates by WIRON will be regulated in the Ordinance of the Minister of Finance planned for 2023, which will specify the dates of replacement and adjustment spread. The assumptions of the Road Map also indicate that the WIBOR and WIBID reference indices will cease to be published from the beginning of 2025.

32. Financial risk management, objectives and policies

Legislation and administrative risk

During the year 2022 several changes in the polish legislation in particularly: contemplated deletion of open escrow accounts as well as introduction of compulsory contributions to the developer guarantee fund starting from 1 July 2022, the new construction law and the new local regulations related to road and infrastructure participation costs, constitute a risk that could directly or indirectly affect the Company's and the Group's activities and results. The Management Board is in the opinion, that the introduction of such changes might have a negative impact on the Group's activities. In spite of that and taking under consideration the Company and the Group long-term experience in the market, its ability to adjust quickly to the new market conditions, its financial situation and its reputation in the market the Management Board is in the opinion that these changes are of a lesser extent than on other market operators.

The Polish legislation environment is characterised in frequent amendments, incoherence, lack of unified interpretation of legislation and tax legislations which are subject to frequent changes all which is contributing to the risks factors in which the Company and the Group operate. All the above changes and lack of unified judicial decision can have negative consequences on the Group's business, its performance, its financial standing and the development prospects.

The above changes demonstrates the dynamic environment in which the Group operates and as such requiring in some cases quick response in order to adjust its activity accordingly.

The Management Board will continue monitoring the above mentioned issues on an on-going basis, and adopt further actions, if necessary, in order to minimize as much as it is possible their impact on the Group operations.

Effect of the War Conflict on the Polish economy and real estate industry

In 2022, the global economy was weakened by trade disruptions in the areas of food and fuel prices as a result of the ongoing war in Ukraine. In the second half of 2022, activity in the euro area deteriorated due to disrupted supply chains, increased financial stress and a decline in consumer and business index confidence. The upward trend in global oil, gas and coal prices observed since the beginning of 2021 increased sharply after Russia's invasion of Ukraine due to sanctions imposed on Russia, pushing up inflation to levels not seen in Europe for decades.

According to a recent update of a World Bank publication, Poland's economic growth in 2023 is expected to slow more than initially thought, as the ongoing war in Ukraine has dimmed the prospects for a post-pandemic recovery in Europe.

In 2022, the war in Ukraine was a key factor affecting the Polish economy. It caused an increase in inflation particularly related to increases in energy and food prices. The level of Polish inflation is currently one of the highest in the European Union. The Polish government's decision to completely abandon imports of Russian energy resources by the end of 2022 has also influenced activities related to the acquisition of new sources of supply, particularly coal, and the intensification of investments aimed at energy diversification.

The Polish government has also taken measures to reduce the increase in energy prices for citizens and businesses in the form of subsidies for coal and other energy resources and a freeze on electricity prices for vulnerable consumers.

In order to curb rising inflation, the Monetary Policy Council of the National Bank of Poland (NBP) raised reference interest rates for the eleventh time in a row in September 2022, resulting in a huge increase in loan instalments for borrowers and consequently worsening the situation of many households. In order to counteract the deterioration in the financial situation of borrowers, the Polish parliament introduced a consumer support programme. It includes, among other things, four months of credit holidays in 2022 and four in 2023. The government has also increased the level of the Borrower Support Fund and made it easier to apply for assistance from it.

32. Financial risk management, objectives and policies

Effect of the War Conflict on the Polish economy and real estate industry

The creditworthiness of Poles has also decreased and, consequently, the number of new loans taken out has fallen. This caused a significant slowdown in the real estate market. At the same time, in terms of the residential market, the Company noted a significant trend of cash buyers outnumbering those using mortgages, resulting in a significant decline in the number of units sold observed from the beginning of 2022.

In addition, as a consequence of the armed conflict in Ukraine, the supply chains of materials from eastern markets were disrupted and, due to the outflow of workers from Ukraine, the demand for workers on construction sites also increased.

On the other hand, however, according to the Management Board's observation, high interest rates will also force more people to enter the rental market as they will no longer be able to afford mortgages, putting even more pressure on the available rental stock. It is important to recognize that due to increasing geopolitical and economic risks, the war conflict in Ukraine will continue to intensify factors such as high inflation, increased construction costs and more restrictive financing policies for new developments and mortgages.

The Company is monitoring the situation on an ongoing basis to assess its impact on business operations. As part of its strategy, the Company will evaluate its currently planned projects and initiate projects that will be secured with bank financing and have the best chance of success in the near future, all with the aim of mitigating the impact of this crisis on the Company's business as much as possible.

Inflation risk

At the beginning of 2022, prices of energy and agricultural commodities were high, significantly exceeding their levels seen since last year. Inflation slightly decreased to 16.6% in December from November's 17.9%. December's result represented the highest inflation rate since March 1997.

According to the Statistical office of Poland (GUS), the main factors contributing to the high inflation rate are driven by cost of housing and utilities (22.6%), transport (13.3%) and food and non-alcoholic beverages (21.5%), as well as increase in USD/PLN and EUR/PLN exchange rates.The inflation growth and with it the interbank interest growth affects the polish economy in many aspects and the real estate residential sector in the following:

  • the risk of average mortgage rates increases which might result in decline in volume of mortgages lending which will influence reduction of the demand from individual clients;
  • risk of increase in construction costs, related to problems of manufacturing, energy and transportation;
  • risk in delay or withholding of starting new projects due to high costs.

In the forth quarter of 2022, there was a increase in sales in the six largest cities by 28% comparing to previous quarter and as much as 49% decrease in sales comparing to the year 2021. The management Board will continue monitoring the situation, and adopt further actions, if necessary, in order to reduce as much as it possible the effect of the inflation and interest rates increase on the Group's operations and strategy.

Construction cost risk

Construction costs increased significantly over the last 2 years, and high increase especially in the 4th quarter of the 2022. There is a high risk that building costs may still be rising during 2023. The increase was mainly related to increase of raw materials and energy costs influencing directly and indirectly the costs of production adding to that the pandemic situation and shortage of construction employees. The Company and the Group do not operate in a construction business, but, instead, for each project an agreement is concluded with a third-party general contractor, who is responsible for running the construction and for finalizing the project including obtaining all permits necessary for safe use of the apartments.

In the year 2021 there were many changes in the constructions law, which impacted the cost of constructions as well as sharp increase in inflation rate, costs of raw materials and energy costs.

32. Financial risk management, objectives and policies

Construction cost risk

In terms of construction law, the biggest change refers to the increase in fire safety in case of a change in the use of the building or its part. The notification should be accompanied by an expert's opinion on fire safety, which by the end might be reflected in the construction costs offered by the general contractor.

Ordinance No. 1715/2021 of the President of the Capital City of Warsaw dated October 19, 2021 on determining the principles of concluding agreements specifying the terms of construction or reconstruction of public roads by investors of non-road investments and appointing a team for cooperation with investors of non-road investments, which came into force on January 1, 2022, regulated the procedure for the City of Warsaw to conclude agreements with investors for the construction or reconstruction of roads caused by nonroad investments (based on Article 16 of the Act on Public Roads dated March 21, 1985). Pursuant to Article 16 of the Law on Public Roads, the construction or reconstruction of public roads caused by a non-road investment is the responsibility of the investor in the project. The provision in question specifies that the detailed conditions for the construction or reconstruction of these public roads shall be determined by an ordinance concluded between the road manager and the investor of the non-road investment. The Ordinance regulates, among other things, the procedure for concluding the agreement and the rates at which the value of the road investment in which the investor in question will bear his share is calculated, according to the size of the planned investment. The new procedure will cover commercial service facilities with a floor area of more than 1,000 sqm and other investments with a floor area of more than 5,000 sqm.

In addition, a number of regulations forcing the introduction of green solutions in newly designed buildings came into force in 2022:

  • on December 24, 2021, the Act of December 2, 2021, amending the Act on Electromobility and Alternative Fuels and certain other laws came into force - this act, among other things, implements EP Directive 2018/844 on the energy performance of buildings, and based on these regulations, residential buildings will be required to be designed to provide for each parking space inside and adjacent to the building electrical conduits and cables to enable the installation of charging points;
  • on October 7, 2022, an amendment to the Act on the Energy Performance of Buildings and the Construction Law was adopted. The new solutions result, among other things, from the need to improve the effectiveness of the current system for assessing the energy efficiency of buildings in Poland. The planned solutions include changes to the requirements for the inspection of heating systems and air conditioning systems, expanding the scope of systems subject to inspection (this will apply to systems with a capacity of more than 70 kW.). In addition, it is planned to provide universal access to the basic information contained in energy performance certificates collected in the central register of energy performance of buildings. The substantive quality of the energy performance certificates drawn up is also to be raised (this will also apply to protocols drawn up from the inspection of the heating system or air conditioning system).

In order to mitigate the risk of rising construction costs, the Company and the Group are signing a lump-sum contract with a general contractor, which will allow the Group to complete the project based on the planned budget.

Risk of non-performance by General Contractors

In each project or stage of the project, the Group has concluded and will conclude contracts for the construction and implementation of development projects with one general contractor. There is a risk that non-performance of the agreement by the general contractor may cause delays in the project or significantly impact the business, financial condition or results of the Group. The Group sees a potential risk for non-performance of obligations by the general contractor in the availability of qualified workforce, in the increase of salaries and cost of construction materials and the increase of energy costs. Non-performance may result in claims against general contractor with the risk that general contractor may also fail to fully satisfy possible claims of the Company and the Group.

32. Financial risk management, objectives and policies

Risk of non-performance by General Contractors

The Company and the Group Implement selection criteria when hiring a general contractor, which include, experience, professionalism, financial strength of the general contractor (with the obligation to provide bank or insurance guarantee) as well as the quality of the insurance policy covering all risks associated with the construction process.

Financing risk

The real estate development business, in which the Company and the Group operates, requires significant initial expenditures to purchase land and to cover construction, infrastructure, and design costs. As such, the Company and the Group, in order to continue and develop its business, require significant amounts of cash through external financing banks and issuance of bonds. The Company's and Group's ability to obtain such financing depend on many factors in particular, on market conditions which are beyond the Company's and the Group's control. In the event of difficulties to obtain the required financing, there is a risk that the scale of the Company's and Group's development and pace of achieving its strategic objectives may differ from what was originally planned. In such situation as described above, there is no certainty whether the Company and the Group will be able to obtain the required financing, nor whether financial resources will be obtained under conditions that are favourable to the Company and the Group. In order to mitigate the risk of insufficient financial resources, the Group is continuously exploring other possibilities of financial resources which will provide the necessary required financing and favourable conditions.

Availability of mortgages

The demand for residential real estate largely depends on the availability of credits and loans for financing the purchase of apartments and houses by individuals. Possible increase in interest rates, deterioration of the economic situation in Poland or administrative restrictions on lending activities of the banks may cause a drop in demand for apartments and houses, and therefore a decrease in interest from potential buyers in the Group's development projects, which in turn may have a significant adverse impact on activities, financial standing or performance of the Company and the Group.

In 2022, access to mortgages has decreased significantly mainly due to high interest rates and the KNF's tightening of rules for calculating creditworthiness. A sharp increase in interest rates, particularly, banks internal rates has impacted and will impact, significantly, big portion of mortgage users to be eligible for residential mortgage financing. As well as, in most cases, due to creditworthy of individuals led and will lead to the decrease of the availability of mortgages. The Group is continuously observing the situation and offering administrative help to its clients for obtaining required credits.

Administration

The nature of real estate development projects requires a number of licenses, approvals and arrangements to be obtained by the Company and the Group at every stage of the development process. Despite significant caution applied in the project execution schedules, there is always a risk of delay in their obtainment. In addition there is always the risk of protests made against permits decisions which have already been issued (also due to appeals with no consequences for the appellants) or in the worse scenario failing to obtain the relevant permits. Additional risk might rise with respect to properties under perpetual usufruct. All the above factors may affect the ability to conduct and complete its executed and planned projects.

Risk related to regulations. Risks related to the interpretation and application of regulations

Frequent amendments, incoherence and lack of unified interpretation of legislation entail risks related to the legal and environment in which the Company and the Group operate. In particular the regulations and interpretations of tax legislations are subject to frequent changes. The practice of tax authorities, issued tax interpretations as well as judicial decisions in this area is not unified. In cases that Tax Authorities will adopt different interpretation of tax regulations from that of the Group, negative consequences can be expected with negative impact on the Group's business, its performance, its financial standing and Company's and Group's development prospects.

32. Financial risk management, objectives and policies

Risk related to regulations. Risks related to the interpretation and application of regulations

Below are main changes in law regulations which can affects the Group operations:

  • Entry into force on 1 January 2022 of the new Polish Order which according to its assumptions, assumes resignation from the possibility of including depreciation charges on houses and flats in tax costs was especially important tax benefit to individuals and companies planning to purchase a property for rent. the outcome of this regulation will be a higher tax base profit to be paid by the companies or individuals;
  • Regulations on developers' participation in the cost of road and infrastructure construction in Warsaw, effective January 1, 2022. The regulations are to apply to developments of more than 5,000 sqm PUM. As the Company understands it, the idea behind the Ordinance is to systematize the rules for concluding agreements under Article 16 of the Public Roads Act of March 21, 1985, by allowing a specific amount of participation (in accordance with a set price list of fees depending on the location of the investment) to be determined at the design stage of the investment in exchange for an expedited road agreement process;
  • Act on the Protection of rights of buyers of residential premises and single family houses an implementation of the Developer Guarantee Fund, which will take hold starting on 1st July 2022, In which the Group will have to deposit 0.45% of the amounts received from client in the designated fund in case of open escrow account and 0.1% in case of closed escrow account.

33. Capital management

When managing capital, it is the Group's objective to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the profit appropriation, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio and leverage. The Group's policy is to keep the gearing ratio of the Group lower than 60%, and a leverage of the Group lower than 50%.

Banking covenants vary according to each loan agreement, but typically are not related directly to the gearing ratio of the Group but to the proportion of loan to value of the mortgage collateral which usually is required not to cross the limit of 70% or 75%. Moreover the Group is obliged to monitor its indebtedness according to the conditions of the bond issuance, which require, amongst others, that in each reporting period the Group shall test the ratio between Net debt to Equity.
