MAS Real Estate Inc Annual Report 2021
Directors' Commentary
Introduction and background
MAS (hereafter referred to as the Group or Company) continued performing satisfactorily during the second part of the financial year ended 30 June 2021, achieving adjusted total earnings of €47.4 million, and adjusted total earnings of €104.4 million for the full financial year. The Group's financial results and progress with strategic matters are discussed within.
In addition to the reported International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) results, this commentary also includes segmental reporting prepared on a proportionate consolidated basis. The latter assists the interpretation of the former rather than replacing it. Detailed financial results and Company Profile, updated on 30 June 2021, including highlights and supplemental operational information, are available on the Company's website. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts are presented on an adjusted proportionate consolidated basis.
MAS' primary business is the investment in, and operation of, green retail assets in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Leveraging the region's continual high growth in consumption, combined with approximately 200 real estate professionals, the Group is well positioned to generate strong like-for-like (LFL) net rental income (NRI) growth from retail holdings through increasing tenants' sales and asset management initiatives. MAS benefits from exposure to retail and residential developments, on a downside protected basis, via the Development Joint Venture (DJV) with developer Prime Kapital.
Financial results
Group adjusted total earnings are, on a segmented basis, the combined return of: (i) directly-owned income property and operations in CEE; (ii) Central and Eastern European investments with Prime Kapital in the DJV (including proportionate earnings from a proportion of completed DJV-owned income properties and development activities); (iii) directly-owned income property operations in Western Europe (WE) (which MAS has mostly disposed of), and (iv) investments in listed securities (including other elements disclosed as Corporate).
Given the Group's commitment to the strategic disposal program in WE, the entire Western European segment is reflected as assets held for sale and the results of the segment as 'discontinued operations' in the IFRS financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2021.
Adjusted total earnings of €104.4 million for the full financial year comprise adjusted distributable earnings of €40.6 million (net of €6.8 million in provisions, rent holidays and discounts granted to tenants due to the ongoing pandemic) and adjusted non-distributable earnings of €63.8 million, compared to adjusted total losses of €39.0 million for the previous financial year, which comprised adjusted distributable earnings of €49.4 million and adjusted non-distributable losses of €88.4 million.² Tangible net asset value (NAV) was €1.24 per share on 30 June 2021, an increase of 6.9% from 31 December 2020 and 15.9% from the end of the previous financial year (ended 30 June 2020).
Adjusted distributable earnings for the financial year were 5.93 eurocents per share, resulting from 2.81 eurocents per share for the six months ended 30 June 2021 and 3.12 eurocents per share for the preceding six months.
Variance in MAS' adjusted total earnings compared to the financial year ended 30 June 2020 is due to positive outcomes generated by: (i) continuing satisfactory performance of retail properties in CEE, especially Romanian open-air malls, and high rental and service charge collections within the context of the ongoing pandemic; (ii) the successful opening, and subsequent satisfactory trading, of two commercial developments completed by the DJV during the financial year, Dambovita Mall (Targoviste, Romania; opened August 2020) and Sepsi Value Centre (Sfantu Gheorghe, Romania; opened March 2021); (iii) improvements in Central and Eastern European asset valuations due to previous points; (iv) exceptional results from a well-structured asset sale process in WE, and (v) increases to the value of Group's listed securities following restructuring of portfolio.
The positives above have been partially offset by unfavourable variances in earnings, which resulted from strategic initiatives positioning the Group to optimise future total returns, due to: (i) ongoing Western European asset sales, and (ii) the issue of a €300 million unsecured, five-year green Eurobond.

¹ DJV is an abbreviation for a separate corporate entity named PKM Development Limited (PKM Development), an associate of MAS since 2016 with independent governance. MAS owns 40% of the ordinary share capital of PKM Development, an investment conditional on it irrevocably undertaking to provide preference share capital to PKM Development on notice of drawdown. MAS' undertakings to PKM Development arose prior to Prime Kapital's founders joining MAS' Board in November 2019 and are unaffected. On 30 June 2021, MAS had invested €233.3 million in preference shares and had an obligation of €186.7 million outstanding (figures not proportionally consolidated). The balance of the ordinary share capital in PKM Development was taken up by Prime Kapital in 2016 for €30 million in cash, and, in terms of applicable contractual undertakings and restrictions: (i) is not permitted to undertake real estate development in CEE outside of PKM Development until the DJV's capital commitments are fully drawn and invested or 2025 (end of exclusivity period); (ii) contributed secured development pipeline to PKM Development at cost; (iii) takes responsibility for sourcing further developments, and (iv) provides PKM Development with all necessary construction and development services via integrated in-house platform.
² From mid-March 2020, trading conditions and prospects deteriorated due to Covid-19's unprecedented spread, necessitating the Company to undertake appropriate measures, including, the drawdown of finance facilities, re-structuring the sales process of assets in WE, suspending dividend declarations and postponing appropriate developments and extensions. Authorities in all regions where MAS operates introduced strict pandemic restrictions, including closing all non-essential retail property and hospitality operations spring 2020. Inevitably, the restrictions introduced directly, and negatively, impacted the performance of MAS' non-essential retail and hospitality tenants and some smaller essential retailers. Accordingly, the financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2020 included an adjusted total loss of €85.5 million, leading to an adjusted total loss of €39 million for the twelve months ended 30 June 2020.
DIRECTORS' COMMENTARY
Operations
In CEE, the Group's operational performance for the financial year showed a strong recovery in tenants' sales as, due to the European Union's vaccination rollouts and decrease of Covid-19 infection rates in the second half of the financial year, authorities have gradually lifted restrictions. Restrictions during the financial year predominantly affected indoor food and beverage operators and leisure tenants in CEE. In addition, non-essential tenants in Bulgaria and Poland were affected by lockdowns re-introduced by authorities during November and December 2020 and January, March and April 2021.
Tenants' sales have recovered since the start of the pandemic, and consistently exceeded pre-pandemic levels at open-air malls. The Group's operations in Poland, albeit one enclosed mall, have been further negatively impacted by authorities imposing restrictions on lease and cost recoveries by landlords from tenants during lockdowns. MAS continued supporting struggling tenants, especially smaller retailers and leisure tenants.
Despite improved occupancy at standing assets in CEE, total Central and Eastern European portfolio occupancy on 30 June 2021 remained approximately constant at 93.2% (93.3% on 31 December 2020; 93.1% on 30 June 2020). This was due to new developments opening with lower occupancy (92% Dambovita Mall and 93.7% Sepsi Value Centre; very good levels during the pandemic), as well as the refurbishment of Atrium Mall, that weighed negatively on overall occupancy.
Table 1: Central and Eastern European GLA affected by restrictions, LFL footfall (compared to 2019 calendar year), LFL tenants' sales (compared to 2019 calendar year), income entitlements (including invoicing, waivers and deferrals), collection rate (collections compared to invoicing) and pro forma collection rate (collections compared to the total expected income disregarding impact of Covid-19) (all figures were reported on 19 August 2021)

Trade restrictions and footfall in CEE
By July 2020, most Covid-19 related trading restrictions were lifted and tenants representing approximately 95.2% of gross rental income could trade with limited restrictions until the end of October 2020.
Of the three Central and Eastern European countries where MAS operates retail properties, Romania was least affected by closures and restrictions during the 2021 financial year, the latter in respect of indoor food, beverage and leisure tenants, as well as regional restrictions introduced during November 2020, varying from limiting trading capacity to closing non-essential retailers on certain days.
Bulgarian authorities closed non-essential retail during the last week of November 2020. Polish authorities closed non-essential retail for three weeks in November 2020, permitted reopening on 28 November and closed again on 28 December.
Bulgarian and Polish authorities further closed non-essential retail for the entire month of January (reopening on 1 February), and re-introduced closures 18 March to 16 April in Bulgaria and 15 March to 3 May in Poland, except for food and beverage tenants whose operations were limited to takeaway and delivery. Like Romania, indoor food and beverage tenants in both countries have been trading since reopening with capacity restrictions.
By June 2021, all Central and Eastern European tenants have resumed trading, albeit with limited capacity restrictions dependant on local legislative social distancing measures.
Overall footfall in CEE for the year ended 30 June 2021 has reflected closures and restrictions, which continued to vary between open-air and enclosed malls. LFL footfall in CEE was 81% compared to the similar period of 2019, with substantial variations between open-air malls (3% decrease) and enclosed malls (35% decrease).
Footfall in respect of centres opened during the financial year (Dambovita Mall opened August 2020; Sepsi Value Centre opened March 2021) has been consistent with the Group's other similar centres.
Tenants' operations in CEE
Despite lower footfall, total sales in CEE recovered strongly and progressively from July to October, weakened in November and December (due the closures in Bulgaria (December) and Poland (November), as well as Romania's lighter restrictions), and improved dramatically from January 2021. Tenants' sales were 7% higher during the second six months of the 2021 financial year compared to the same period in 2019, with the result that total tenants' sales for the 2021 financial year were on par with the pre-pandemic period.
Sales at open-air malls were generally strong. Despite a relatively weak November and December, LFL sales at open-air malls for the first six months of the financial year were 2% higher than sales for the same period in 2019 and improved further, to 12%, during the second six months of the financial year compared to sales for the same period in 2019.
MAS Real Estate Inc Annual Report 2021
DIV, pet store and grocery sales, strongly outperformed LFL sales compared to the same period in 2019. Certain categories, such as entertainment, toys, furnishing and services, have not returned to pre-pandemic levels and have experienced lower sales compared to 2019. All categories, excepting leisure, services and food operators, have performed on par or better than during the previous financial year. Excepting leisure tenants, in the second half of the 2021 financial year, all categories' sales have outperformed those of the comparable period. Fashion (clothing, shoes and accessories) and food operators' sales have improved by over 30% in the second half of the 2021 financial year compared to the same period of the previous financial year.
Tenants at Dambovita Mall have performed exceptionally well, substantially exceeding average sales performances in enclosed malls, while sales at Sepsi Value Centre have been in line with similar open-air malls.
Invoicing and collections
Collection rates in CEE have been satisfactory during the year ended 30 June 2021, with individual collection rates influenced by local restrictions. Overall, for the year ended 30 June 2021, the pro forma collection rate for all Central and Eastern European properties was 87%, which included 77% for Bulgaria and 71% for Poland (reflecting Covid-19 hard lockdowns in November and December 2020, and January, March and April 2021). In Romania, pro forma cash collections in excess of 95% have consistently been achieved, with (4)% waived, deferred or suspended. This was driven by the strong operational performances of open-air mall tenants (pro forma collection rate 98%), while enclosed malls' lagged behind them (pro forma collection rate 87%).
Properties opened during the pandemic by the DJV have achieved exemplary collection rates, with Sepsi Value Centre achieving 99% pro forma cash collections since opening March 2021, and 95% pro forma collections at Dambovita Mall.
Western Europe (WE)
Assets held in WE, of which 78% (based on GLA and excluding land) were sold (some subject to conditions precedent) by December 2020, were unaffected by the pandemic (given a large proportion of essential retail tenants, industrial, logistics and office properties owned in WE) and performed as expected, excepting Adagio Hotel and the Arches street retail units (Scotland), and Flensburg Galerie (Germany).
At Flensburg Galerie (Germany) authorities first introduced restrictions in November 2020. These were hardened from 16 December 2020 to 17 March 2021 and subsequently reduced to capacity restrictions for indoor food and beverage operators only (which remained in place until 26 July 2021).
This led to a 96% pro forma collection rate for the financial year that ended on 30 June 2021. The Scottish Government imposed a hard lockdown on 22 December 2020 and implemented a phased reopening plan.
Consequently, hospitality and non-essential retail have been subject to significant restrictions up until 26 April 2021, which affected the Adagio Hotel and Arches street retail units' operations.
Property valuations
Improved property valuations contributed to the positive results for the financial year. Fair value uplift of €17.2million to income property was recorded, based on independent external valuations. This is the result of positive fair value adjustments to income property of €27.4million in CEE offset by reductions of €10.2million in WE.
Valuation of MAS' properties is determined biannually by external, independent professional valuers, with appropriate, and recognised, qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of property. Valuations are primarily based on discounted forecast cash flows and are therefore forward looking. The continued strong trading performance of Romanian properties, including the two assets completed by the DJV during the Covid-19 pandemic, have driven the valuation improvements in CEE, while the weighted average unlevered discount rate for income property in CEE decreased marginally from 10.24% to 10.17% compared to valuations on 30 June 2020.
Income properties for sale in WE, held by the Group on 30 June 2021, have been subject to marginal increases in unlevered discount rates. The valuation of Western European assets has not generated significant changes in fair value for the financial year ended on 30 June 2021 and were mostly a result of updated capital expenditure assumptions, which had been anticipated and taken into consideration for purposes of the Group's tangible NAV reported on 30 June 2020 by means of management's estimation for WE disposal realisation costs and losses and which were not offset against valuations. The sales process produced excellent results which lead to a significant decrease in management's reported estimation for WE disposal realisation costs and losses. Fair value losses should therefore be seen against the positive adjustment to this estimate.
Asset sales in WE
The financial results for the year ended on 30 June 2021 have benefitted from the success of the WE disposal program, which had been substantially restructured to increase bid quality and maximise pricing levels through extensive marketing and the provision of independent, comprehensive technical due diligence reports to assist with internal analysis, as well as detailed negotiations with multiple bidders. During the first half of the financial year, MAS concluded agreements for the disposal of Western European property to the value of €316million, compared to book values of €293.7million on 30 June 2020.
Additional sales to the value of €119.6million have been contracted during the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to book values of €104.7million on 31 December 2020.
All sales contracted were completed by 30 June 2021, except for the offices at New Uberior House, which were subsequently completed on 26 August 2021.
Following completion of the New Uberior House office property sale, MAS continue to hold for sale Flensburg Galerie and Gotha retail assets in Germany, as well as the Adagio Hotel, Arches street retail units, Malling Brooks and Langley Park land holdings in the UK, which will be disposed of opportunistically. The remaining assets have a combined €127.1million book value and €67.7million outstanding secured bank debt on 30 June 2021.
Management's estimation for Western European disposal realisation costs and losses (costs related to punitive fixed-interest arrangements, early debt repayment penalties, agency fees and potential discounts required to facilitate sales where buyers do not agree with valuers' capital expenditure assumptions or estimated rental value (ERV) assumptions for properties with high vacancies and other costs) in respect of properties held for sale on 30 June 2021 was €27.1million. An overall improvement of €25.6million to tangible NAV, due to a decrease in the estimation (as compared to the estimation at 30 June 2020), was recognised on 31 December 2020, reflecting the successful restructure of the Western European disposal program, while a further increase of €5.2million to tangible NAV on 30 June 2021 (compared to the figure reported on 31 December 2020) relates to disposals completed above book values during the six months ended 30 June 2021.
Listed securities
MAS restructured its listed securities portfolio during the financial year ended 30 June 2021. The process, which commenced pre-pandemic, involved selling holdings in illiquid companies and continuing to hold shares in Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield and Klépierre, valued at €35.5million on 30 June 2020. By 31 December 2020, €5.9million of securities had been disposed of at a realised profit of €0.5million (compared to values on 30 June 2020) while the difference to the €5.2million adjusted non-distributable earnings reported for the six months ended 31 December 2020 were unrealised.
On 31 December 2020, MAS held listed securities to the value of €34.9million, the majority representing shares in Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield and Klépierre held in the form of contracts for difference, which were disposed of for €36.8million in January 2021, at a realised profit of €3.96million (compared to 31 December 2020). The Group reallocated capital to holdings in NEPI Rockcastle, a Central and Eastern European property owner and operator, owning securities to the value of €33.6million on 30 June 2021, after unrealised fair value gains of €5.2million compared to their acquisition value (in addition to €0.9million in dividends received).
DIRECTORS' COMMENTARY
Developments, extensions and refurbishments in the DJV
Dambovita Mall (Romania) opened for trade on 20 August 2020, during the pandemic, with 92% occupancy of the 31,200m² completed GLA. The mall was scheduled to open in May 2020 and had to be delayed due to the country's strict lockdown introduced in March 2020. Tenants who committed to 1,312m² GLA did not perform fit out and did not open. The development has potential for a further approximately 11,700m² GLA extension.
Some retail developments that were put on hold due to the pandemic were brought forward to take account of the strong performances of anchor tenants in open-air malls from July to December 2020 and Dambovita Mall since opening, the expectation that consumer spending will recover to pre-pandemic levels sooner than initially feared and that a vaccine will be widely available in the second half of 2021 (calendar year), enabling consumer behaviour in Group's markets to begin returning to normal.
Sepsi Value Centre was completed and opened as planned in March 2021 with 93.7% of the 16,900m² GLA occupied. The project is located in Sfantu Gheorghe, the capital of Romania's Hungarian-speaking Covasna County, with a population of approximately 56,000 and approximately 214,000 inhabitants in the surrounding region. Together with adjacent retail and DIY stores, the centre forms a regionally dominant 33,300m² retail node attracting customers from the wider area.
The yield on cost for both developments completed during the financial year (Dambovita Mall and Sepsi Value Centre) is 9.5%, which, combined with high collection rates since opening, highlights the quality of the development. Footfall and trading levels experienced since opening were generally well above expectations.
Construction of Barlad and Prahova (Ploiesti) Value Centres started, as scheduled, during April 2021 and they are expected to open November 2021. At Barlad, 92% of the Phase One planned GLA is leased to anchors, including Carrefour, Agroland, C&A, Deichmann, Flanco, Hervis, Jysk, KFC, New Yorker, Noriel, Pepco, Sportisimo and Takko. At Ploiesti, there has been very strong tenant interest in the development's Phase One since leasing commenced December 2020. Of Phase One, 70% of planned GLA is leased to anchors, including Carrefour, Altex, Deichmann, Hervis, Jysk, KFC, Maxi Pet, New Yorker, Noriel, Sportisimo and Takko.
The planned start of construction at Alba Iulia of an enclosed mall was postponed until November 2021 due to permitting delays. Construction at Arges Mall is presently unscheduled, as a result of a contractual breach by one of two sellers. The DJV initiated legal proceedings against this seller. Construction at Mall Moldova has been scheduled for November 2022, subject to permitting renewals.
Construction on Marmura Residence, the DJV's first residential development in Bucharest, continues and it is expected that four buildings will be completed by December 2021, the fifth by June 2022. Sales have exceeded expectations. Of the first two buildings (A and D) released for sale, 93% of the residential units have been contracted, whilst the corresponding figure for building C, which was released for sale after the initial two, is 71%. Sales in respect of residential units for Building B, released for sale in February 2021, and building E, released for sale at the end of June 2021, are also progressing (45% and 6% respectively). Thus, all 459 apartments have been released for sale with 293 (63.8%) sold. The development's community centre is expected to open as a sales office at the start of September 2021 providing customers with access to the project and show units for the first time since sales commenced. This is expected to further encourage sales.
At Avalon Estate, 34 (87%) of 39 villas, townhouses and apartments, released for sale prior to the issue of the building permit were sold, with the unsold reserved as show units. Of 83 apartments released for sale late July 2020, 55 (66%) were sold and 67 (59%) of 113 apartments and townhouses released for sale late February 2021 were sold. A further 32 apartments and townhouses were released for sale in June 2021, of which 18 (56%) were sold. This is an approximately 8ha, low-density development site, and Phase One originally comprised 254 of the 746 planned dwellings, perimeter walls, main gatehouse, clubhouse, approximately 50% of the extensive landscaped parks and green areas and internal and external infrastructure works. However, given the high number of sales, Phase One has been extended to include two further T-blocks (64 units).
As a result, the total numbers of units in Phase One was increased to 318 (43% of the total 746 units). Presently, 65% of the 267 of residential units currently released for sale have been sold. Phase One continues on schedule and is expected to be delivered gradually from December 2021 until completion in June 2022. The 200m² sales office and showroom located in the gatehouse and the first show units are expected to open to the public during November 2021.
In February 2021, a residential sales office opened at the Silk District site. Construction on the approximately 10ha project's substantial infrastructure and the First Phase of the residential development (315 apartments) was scheduled to commence during July 2021 but was unfortunately delayed due to permitting. The First Phase of the residential project was permitted 11 August 2021. Reservations prior to the issue of the building permits, were very strong, and the Second Phase of the residential project was partially released for reservations on 30 April 2021 and 364 (pre-permit) reservations were made. Currently, 183 of the (pre-permit) reservations have been converted into contracts.
Demolition has started. Construction on the First Phase of the residential project is expected to commence September 2021. This includes the main access road and a significant portion of the project infrastructure and corresponding parkland. Permitting for Phase Two and Three of the residential project is ongoing.
The Silk District office development has been permitted and pre-construction leasing activities will commence shortly. The start of construction will depend on tenant demand.
A 5.6ha site for a new residential development was secured close to Timisoara's city centre. The residential project consists of approximately 1,200 apartments and 8,000m² GLA of retail spaces and other support functions, such as a kindergarten in a restored historical building. Timisoara is Romania's third largest city with approximately 325,000 inhabitants and fourth largest university centre with over 40,000 students. It is located close to Romania's western border and has a good connection to the European motorway system. These factors attracted significant EU funding and private direct investments that facilitated the development of the city and region into one of Romania's main economic hubs. Timisoara is currently home to several large-scale multinationals and local companies, ranging from consulting (Deloitte, Ernst & Young, PwC) and industrial (Bosch, Continental) to IT and outsourcing (Accenture, Huawei, IBM, SAP, Wipro, Intel). The automotive industry and related sub-sectors played a significant role in the region's economic development. The growth of these companies resulted in the region outperforming rivals in terms of employment and gross domestic product (GDP). This has increased purchasing power and, coupled with favourable demographics (positive net migration and a young mobile population), resulted in a strong demand for residential property.
The DJV owns approximately 10ha in downtown Ploiesti, of which 8.2ha is currently under construction (Prahova Value Centre).
Given the robust demand for quality housing in Ploiesti, the DJV plans to develop approximately 500 residential units on the remainder. The residential development will be integrated with and complement the Second Phase of the open-air mall. Ploiesti (with over 200,000 inhabitants) is Romania's ninth largest city, and is located within a one-hour drive of Bucharest. Due to its proximity to and good road connections (via highway and national road) with the capital city, as well as access to a significant pool of qualified labour, Ploiesti attracted significant investments from several multinationals, which allowed it to emerge as one of Romania's main economic hubs with high employment rates and GDP. This has nurtured increases in purchasing power, the development of a robust middle class and demand for new, high-quality residential units.

DIRECTORS' COMMENTARY
Extensions and refurbishments to directly-owned assets
Planned extensions to directly-owned Militari Shopping, Galleria Burgas and Nova Park remain on hold and will be re-assessed during the second half of 2021 (calendar year). The refurbishment and reconfiguration of Atrium Mall is ongoing.
Debt, cost of debt and liquidity
On 30 June 2021, MAS had a combined €424.7 million in cash, listed securities, expected net sales proceeds from the New Uberior House property sale and undrawn credit facilities (figure not proportionally consolidated). This is the result of MAS holding €287.1 million in cash, €33.6 million in listed securities and net estimated proceeds of €44.0 million from the sale of New Uberior House (after repayment of €44.9 million in secured debt, as well as transaction costs, tax, estimated early debt repayment penalties and other costs of approximately €2.7 million).
The Company had, on 30 June 2021, an unsecured revolving facility of €60 million, which was replaced, in August 2021, by a currently undrawn committed facility of €20 million (which can be increased up to €60 million) on improved terms when compared to the previous facility. On 30 June 2021, the Group had an ongoing undrawn preferred share investment commitment of €186.7 million to the DJV (figure not proportionally consolidated).
MAS issued a €300 million unsecured, five-year Eurobond maturing on 19 May 2026, carrying a 4.25% fixed coupon and partially used the proceeds to repay, by 30 June 2021, bank loans secured against directly owned Central and Eastern European investment properties. The Group's access to debt capital markets provides flexibility in attracting additional capital resources and the ability to issue unsecured group-level funding.
On 30 June 2021, the Group's bond and unsecured facility ratios demonstrated significant headroom compared to covenant tolerances, on both IFRS and proportionate consolidation bases.
The self-imposed, long-term Group overall debt limit, which is considerably more restrictive than its covenant tolerances, is a maximum loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 40%, or, on a forward-looking basis, seven times net rental income. On 30 June 2021, the Group had €419.3 million of outstanding debt (bonds and bank loans) and the LTV ratio was 12.6%. The effective LTV ratio, taking account of the sale of New Uberior House, is 4.2%. The weighted average cost of debt was 3.01% per annum for the financial year ended 30 June 2021.
| Tolerance | Actual IFRS | Actual proportionate consolidation basis | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solvency ratio | Shall not exceed 0.6 | 0.31 | 0.31 |
| Consolidated coverage ratio | At least 2.5:1 | 4.32 | 4.23 |
| Unencumbered consolidated total assets/unsecured consolidated total debt | Minimum 180% | 381% | 380% |
Succession and changes to the Board of Directors
Following the transaction with Prime Kapital in November 2019 (which included the acquisition of Prime Kapital's interests in MAS' directly-owned properties in CEE, the transfer of Prime Kapital's Central and Eastern European property management platform to MAS and the appointment of founders Martin Slabbert and Victor Semionov as Executive Directors of MAS to manage the Group's transition towards a fully focused CEE-based property investor and operator), MAS entered a transformative phase set against a backdrop of the global Covid-19 pandemic.
The terms of the transaction included a three-year mandate for the appointed executives to oversee the re-positioning of the business, a commitment to ensure that MAS builds and sustainably retains the ability to manage its income-generating investment properties in CEE without reliance on third parties and to strengthen its capacity to manage and grow its Central and Eastern European investments. It was planned for Martin and Victor to step down when the business transition to CEE was complete, and, given their pre-existing interest in Prime Kapital and MAS' pre-existing and ongoing business relationship with Prime Kapital via the DJV, returning full-time to Prime Kapital. The DJV owns considerable commercial investment property, developed by Prime Kapital and managed by MAS since November 2019, which will further increase as projects currently in the development pipeline are completed.
Commercial and residential developments undertaken by Prime Kapital in the DJV, and MAS' interest in them through the DJV, is expected to have a major positive impact on the Group's future financial performance. This, and Prime Kapital's position as a substantial, long-term MAS shareholder, suggest it to be mutually beneficial for the two groups to remain closely connected for the foreseeable future with independent executives.
Since November 2019: (i) MAS' operations and corporate structure streamlined, with the Company on redomicile track to, and appropriate functions relocated to, Malta; (ii) the Company's delisting from Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE) was completed; (iii) Prime Kapital's former property and asset management team was integrated; (iv) an executive succession plan was implemented; (v) MAS' listed securities portfolio was restructured; (vi) most of MAS' Western European assets were disposed of; (vii) all MAS' Central and Eastern European properties, as well as all operational properties in the DJV, were certified as sustainable buildings through internationally acknowledged environmentally friendly assessment methods by either BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) or LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design); (viii) MAS obtained inaugural credit ratings from Moody's and Fitch, and (ix) MAS issued a €300 million unsecured, five-year Eurobond.
The Board has had the opportunity to work with exceptional candidates for future Executive Director roles. This, combined with the excellent progress noted above, enables the Board to bring forward the original succession planning, to appoint Executive Directors with no affiliation to, or interest in, Prime Kapital.
To this end, Victor Semionov steps down from the Board and is replaced by Dan Petrisor as Executive Director (who as a result is no longer an Alternate Director). The Board expresses its profound gratitude to Victor for his dedicated service to MAS. The Board has appointed Irina Grigore (CFO) also Deputy CEO. Martin Slabbert will remain CEO for the time being and will step down as an Executive Director of MAS after the appointment of a Deputy CFO, and leaving adequate time for hand-over from Irina to the new CFO prior to her assuming the CEO role. This will probably occur soon after the release of the December 2021 Half Year Financial Results as the Board aims to appoint a Deputy CFO, to replace Irina, by December 2021. Jonathan Knight steps down as Alternate Director and will leave the Group by the end of the calendar year when the Western European business is expected to have been substantially wound down. Jonathan, who joined in 2014, was instrumental in expanding the business in WE and, more recently, engaged with the sale of Western European assets. The Board thanks Jonathan for his loyal service to the Group.

DIRECTORS' COMMENTARY
Governance and further changes to the Board of Directors
The Board is compliant with the King IV Code on Corporate Governance. Following the above changes to the Executive Directors, and the change in status of Melt Hamman to Independent Non-Executive Director, MAS' Board comprises eight Non-Executive Directors, of which seven are independent, and three Executive Directors, of which two have no affiliation to, or interest in, Prime Kapital. Werner Alberts was Interim Chairman following the transaction with Prime Kapital in November 2019. Werner was originally appointed to the Board in September 2018 and was Lead Independent Director prior to being appointed Interim Chairman. Werner served with distinction in all Board-appointed roles he performed and, as a result, has the confidence of shareholders and the Board. The Board thanks Werner for accepting his appointment to (permanent) Chairman of the Board. Claudia Pendred, who joined the Board in December 2019 and has served on the Audit and Risk Committee since then, agreed to be appointed Lead Independent Director. Delegates to committees have been rearranged, and, as a result, comprise: (i) Audit and Risk Committee: Vasile Iuga (Chair), Brett Nagle, and Melt Hamman; (ii) Remuneration and Nomination Committee: Dan Pascariu (Chair), Pierre Goosen, and Werner Alberts, and (iii) Environmental, Social and Ethics Committee: Malcolm Levy (Chair), Claudia Pendred, and Melt Hamman. All changes to Board and committee membership are effective 26 August 2021.
Long-term strategy and dividend policy update
The Group expects to benefit from the continual high growth in Central and Eastern European consumption by directly deploying capital in income property and indirectly employing capital in commercial and residential developments via the DJV with co-investor, developer and general contractor Prime Kapital. Capital historically invested in Western European property is being divested.
MAS aims to maximise total long-term returns from property investments on a per share basis by concentrating on capital allocation, operational excellence, sensible leveraging and cost efficiency, thereby sustainably growing distributable earnings per share. The following factors are expected to have a substantial bearing on total returns per share in the medium term: (i) growth in rental income from retail properties driven by growth in consumption and asset management initiatives; (ii) the timing and successful deployment of capital in developments and extensions to MAS' direct properties and the DJV, and further increasing the DJV's development pipeline;
(iii) new income investment opportunities in CEE; (iv) the cost and availability of debt finance, and (v) the raising of new capital and/or buying back of MAS' shares.
Management, and Prime Kapital via the DJV, have adopted ambitious growth targets, which the Board considers to be achievable, including: (i) annual LFL net rental growth of at least 4% on Central and Eastern European retail assets from a normalised post Covid-19 base, in addition to specific asset management initiatives to improve occupancy rates for the current Central and Eastern European retail assets to 99% over this period; (ii) completion of commercial developments to the cost of approximately €600 million at a weighted initial net yield of more than 9% by the DJV over this period (figure not proportionally consolidated); (iii) residential sales and deliveries by the DJV of approximately €200 million per annum by the 2026 financial year (figure not proportionally consolidated) at net after tax margins of approximately 20%, and (iv) direct acquisitions of high-quality CEE based commercial assets to the value of at least €150 million during the 2022 financial year and a further €50 million by the end of the 2023 financial year.
Access to debt finance at optimal cost is integral to long-term strategy. As a result, the Company aims to achieve an investment grade credit rating by the end of the 2026 financial year at the latest, and, with this in mind, intends to have approximately $2 billion in gross assets by the end of the 2026 financial year.
The above targets and investment grade credit ratings' objectives are achievable within the current capital base while maintaining a full payout to shareholders of distributable earnings.
Despite distributable earnings per share growth not being the Group's sole focus, management is aware it is an integral part of maximising shareholders' returns. Excepting unforeseen circumstances, achieving the above targets should lead to the Company generating significant growth in annual distributable earnings per share. Due to Covid-19, the Group declined to declare an interim dividend. The Board stated that the Company will consider resuming dividend payments when the pandemic is effectively over, business is sufficiently profitable and depending on the attractiveness of investment opportunities.
The pandemic is not yet over. Vaccination rates in the Group's markets are low compared to Western European averages and the likely imposition of further Coronavirus related trading restrictions and social distancing measures over the course of the 2022 financial year necessitates the Group to remain prepared for disruption.
However, the business has returned to significant profitability, the Company has managed to effectively deal with the Covid-19 fallout in its markets and benefits from substantial liquidity. Moreover, in the Group's main market, Romania, GDP per capita is higher than pre-pandemic levels and consumption has largely recovered⁷, tenants' turnovers at MAS' Romanian commercial assets have generally been higher than 2019 trading levels for the six months to 30 June 2021, steadily improving cash collection rates since the onset of the pandemic are satisfactory and sales related to residential developments in the DJV remain strong. Further Covid-19 disruptions are not expected to lead to negative operational cash flows in the short term or to negatively impact longer-term earnings targets.
Thus, the Board has agreed to resume dividend payments and intends to maintain this over the next five financial years, in the absence of unforeseen circumstances and provided that the Company's long-term objectives, including self-imposed gearing limitations and achieving an investment grade credit rating by the end of the 2026 financial year at the latest, are not considered at any point during this period to be at undue risk. Only if this is the case, or if there are attractive investment opportunities that are expected to substantially enhance total returns per share that cannot be otherwise more efficiently funded (for instance by selling assets, taking on additional gearing or issuing new share capital), will dividends relative to distributable earnings be reduced.
Dividend declaration
The Company achieved 5.93 eurocents distributable earnings per share in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2021, and the Board has consequently declared a cash dividend of 5.93 eurocents per share for the twelve months ending then. Payment is expected by 27 September 2021 and further details will be announced separately.

Business and Strategy
Capital previously invested in WE will be redeployed directly in income property in CEE and indirectly, on a downside protected basis, in developments via further preference shares in the DJV with co-investor, developer and general contractor Prime Kapital. The Group is operated by a multidisciplinary team of approximately 200 professionals that combine investment, acquisition, leasing, asset and property management, marketing and finance skills. When required, development and construction skills can be provided by joint venture partner Prime Kapital.
Debt Funding
The Group's funding comprises unsecured Eurobonds, unsecured revolving credit facilities, and secured loans from banks. The Group maintains a self-imposed overall net debt limit to a maximum of 40% of current income property value, or seven-times forward-looking net rental income, both on a proportionate consolidated basis.
History
Established in 2008, MAS has assembled, through acquisition and development, high quality income generating retail, office, industrial, logistics and hotel properties in WE (Germany, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland) and, since 2016, in CEE (Romania, Bulgaria, Poland). In CEE a number of very profitable retail developments were finalised and investments made; substantial rental income and capital gains were generated from these with joint venture partner Prime Kapital. Strong macro fundamentals and extraordinary investment results in Central and Eastern Europe prompted the decision to transition towards a fully focused CEE-based property investor and operator and redeploy capital from WE to CEE and DJV.

FINANCIAL POLICY
MAS may be funded by issued equity, retained earnings and debt, subject to internal financial policy. The Group's financial policy is set around conservative self-imposed limitations, considerably more restrictive than the covenant tolerances governing outstanding long-term debt.
To this end, the Group maintains its overall net debt limit to a maximum of 40% of current income property value, or seven-times forward-looking net rental income, on a proportionate consolidated basis. Also, the Group seeks to fully hedge interest rate risk, and minimise and/or fully hedge currency exposure. Capital allocation decisions are taken subject to, in addition to having the requisite authorisations, holding adequate cash and liquid resources to fulfill existing commitments.
Dividends are discretionary and distributions are paid from operational free cash-flows.
CREDIT RATINGS AND CAPITAL MARKETS FUNDING
MAS obtained inaugural ratings from Moody's (Ba1) and Fitch Ratings (BB positive) and issued, in May 2021, a €300 million unsecured, five-year green Eurobond. Part of the proceeds have been used to repay secured debt against CEE directly owned income properties.
The Group aims to achieve an investment grade credit rating by the end of the 2026 financial year at the latest, and intends to have approximately $2 billion in gross assets by then.

INTEREST RATE EXPOSURE
The Group took advantage of favourable conditions on the European debt markets and issued an inaugural €300million unsecured, five-year green Eurobond maturing 19 May 2026, carrying a 4.25% fixed coupon. At the end of the 2021 financial year, 97% of the Group's interest on debt was fixed or hedged, a similar level to the previous year (98%).
To optimise MAS' cost of debt, the unsecured €60million facility, undrawn on 30 June 2021, was terminated in August 2021 and replaced by an unsecured revolving credit facility of €20million (which can be increased up to €60million) on significantly improved terms.

MAS Real Estate Inc Annual Report 2021
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Roles and responsibilities
The Board meets at least three times a year to discharge its duties, as set out in the Board Charter, and is responsible for setting strategy, approving major matters, governing risk management and monitoring performance. The Board oversees the overall effectiveness of the Internal Control Framework, ensuring assets are appropriately safeguarded, operations are run efficiently, proper accounting records are maintained and published financial information is reliable.
The Board acts as a focal point for, and is the custodian of, corporate governance by administering relationships with management, shareholders and other stakeholders, using sound corporate governance principles.
The Board's Terms of Reference are detailed in a written charter, the Board Charter, which sets out roles and responsibilities, as well as requirements regarding composition, conflicts of interest, meeting procedures and delegation of authority. The Board Charter is reviewed and updated regularly.
The Board's responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- setting the Group's values, strategy and organisational performance;
- leading the Group ethically and effectively;
- acting as the custodian of corporate governance;
-
considering the Group's strategy, risk, performance and sustainability;
-
providing effective leadership based on an ethical foundation;
- ensuring that the Group is, and is seen to be, a responsible corporate citizen not only financially but also considering the impact on its environment and society;
- ensuring that the Group's ethics are managed effectively by supporting the establishment of an ethical culture;
- ensuring proper management, control and compliance with applicable legislation and regulations;
- establishing a framework for internal controls and risk management;
- assuming responsibility for the governance of risk, technology and information governance;
- approving a Group strategy which will result in sustainable outcomes;
- ensuring compliance with applicable laws, rules and standards, and considering whether or not to adhere to non-binding rules, standards and best practice;
- ensuring that there is an effective risk-based internal audit, and
- appointing and evaluating the performance of the CEO, as well as all other Executive and Non-Executive Directors and the Company Secretary.
Independence of Directors
The continuing independence of non-executives guarantees stakeholders' best interests are recognised and actioned. King IV states that length of service can impact a Director's independence, therefore the Board, through its Remuneration and Nomination Committee, conducts specific independence assessments annually of any Director who has served for nine or more years. This is a balanced approach, combining the added value that experience provides with a fresh perspective of more recent appointments, aimed at achieving the optimal combination.
MAS is an equal opportunities employer, and the Board is committed to non-discrimination and inclusion. A Diversity and Equality Policy ensures balanced gender representation throughout. The Board recognises that the Company's success relies on having the best people, with a variety of perspectives and broad range of experience, aligned to a common purpose and sharing the same values to achieve strategic objectives.
The Board, while staying committed to non-discrimination and inclusion, will adopt strategies which increase the potential number of candidates when identifying appropriate individuals for future Board appointments, while ensuring that, at all times, all applicants are treated equally. Achieving the best mixture of aptitudes, experience and qualifications to complement and balance the Board's existing skills, regardless of gender, is a priority.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
CEO and Board effectiveness evaluation
Under the terms of the Board Charter, the Board is responsible for appointing and evaluating the performance of the CEO and other Executive and Non-Executive Directors.
The role of the CEO is key to MAS' success. It is CEO's responsibility to lead the business ethically, agree strategy, culture and values and to ensure that resources are managed effectively to achieve targets.
The Chairman, assisted by the Chairman of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, and with technical support from the Company Secretary, ensures that the Board's effectiveness is reviewed. The Lead Independent Director, with technical support from the Company Secretary, is responsible for leading the Board Chairman's performance appraisal.
Directors periodically participate in a written peer review to assess individual Directors, which is focused on the attributes that contribute to an effective Board, including, but not necessarily restricted to, strategic thinking, leadership, integrity, meeting preparation and overall contribution. The director skills assessment process' goal is to gather candid, but anonymous, feedback on individual Directors. Such feedback stimulates insight, motivates development and enables Directors to enhance their individual contributions to the Board and committees' work. The full Board review and individual Directors' assessments were undertaken internally during October 2019.
Re-election and appointment of new Directors
In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, one third of Non-Executive Directors are subject to retirement by rotation and can offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting. The Directors subject to retirement by rotation include any Directors who wish to retire and not offer themselves for re-election or those Directors who have held their directorship the longest (as measured from appointment or re-appointment). The Directors to retire is determined by the Board's composition at the end of every financial year. A Director's eligibility for re-election is based on the Board's confirmation of their past performance and contribution. The Directors due for retirement at the 2021 Annual General Meeting, and offering themselves for re-election, are Melt Hamman and Malcolm Levy.
The appointment of new Directors is by a resolution of the Directors and any such appointment is confirmed at the next Annual General Meeting. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee identifies suitable candidates for Board appointments to ensure such appointments are formal and transparent.
Education, induction and training of Board members
The Board, through its Remuneration and Nomination Committee, oversees training and mentorship program for existing members. Board members must have an appropriate working knowledge regarding applicable legislation, rules, codes and the Group's standards and business. Updates and briefings on alterations to risks, legislation, rules, regulations, codes and standards are provided when necessary.
Conflicts of interest
The Group aims to minimise all risks related to, and associated with, real, potential or perceived conflicts of interest. Therefore all threats are monitored, combined with a robust policy that outlines what may constitute a conflict of interest, how they are reported and recorded and what steps may be taken to remove, manage or mitigate them.
If a Board member has a personal, financial, economic or any other interest that might affect objectivity, transparency or credibility, or knows that a closely related person has a personal financial, economic or any other interest in the matter, the Director must disclose it in general terms before it is considered at the meeting and may not vote on it.
Once an actual, potential or perceived conflict of interest is identified and disclosed at a Board or a committee meeting, it must be reported to the Company Secretary, who maintains and regularly updates a Conflicts of Interest Register.
Directors and the Company Secretary are required to complete an annual declaration of all relevant financial, economic and other interests held by them and their related parties. Further disclosures are required whenever there are significant changes to such interests.
Directors and Company Secretary must annually declare that they have complied with the Group's Conflict of Interest Policy. Conflicts of Interest is considered as a standing item on the agenda for each Board and Committee meeting.
Directors' dealings in Group securities
Dealing in Group securities by the Directors, the Company Secretary, associates or any member of staff is set out in the Group's Securities Dealing Policy and is regulated by the JSE Listings Requirements. All Directors and the Company Secretary must obtain approval, in writing, from the Chairman prior to any deal being undertaken. In his absence, any approval must be sought from the ESEC Chair. The Chairman must obtain approval from the ESEC Chair in relation to his personal deals. This approval must then be forwarded to the Company Secretary who maintains a register of all deals undertaken. Associates of Directors or of the Company Secretary do not require the Chair's consent to deal, but they must notify the Company Secretary (or the Chairman if an associate of the Company Secretary).
Disclosure of any deals undertaken by Directors, the Company Secretary, associates or staff, is made promptly and within strict timeframes.
Dealing in Company shares by Directors is not permitted under any circumstances in closed periods.
In addition, securities dealing is not permitted in any period where there exists any matter that constitutes unpublished price-sensitive information or in any period when a cautionary announcement has been issued.
Directors' remuneration
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is delegated the responsibility of determining, and agreeing with the Board the framework for compensation at all levels, and particularly Executive Directors.
The compensation of Non-Executive Directors is decided by the Board, with the Remuneration and Nomination Committee providing an advisory role.
Company Secretary
The Company Secretary assists the Board in ensuring the Company complies with statutory and regulatory requirements and that Board members are informed of their legal responsibilities.
The Board considers and satisfies itself annually that the Company Secretary has the necessary competence, qualifications and experience, and reviews the relationship between the Company Secretary and its members to determine whether he has maintained an appropriate relationship with the Board.
The Board has direct access to the Company Secretary, who advises on updates to regulations, corporate governance, and legislation. The Company Secretary has a direct and open relationship with the Chairman and non-executive Board members and communicates frequently without influence, interference or requiring permission from Executive Directors. The Company Secretary is not a Director of the Company, does not sit on any Board committees and has no major contractual relationships with MAS or any Director.
The Board maintains that the Company Secretary's independence from management is not compromised and is satisfied that the Company Secretary has the necessary skills and experience to perform their duties.
Committees
The Board has established several permanent committees to assist the Board in discharging its duties and responsibilities. The Board delegates authority, whilst retaining accountability, to relevant Board Committees (and Executive Directors where appropriate) within clearly defined mandates.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Considering its role and responsibilities, the Board decided that the following Committees are necessary to properly discharge some of its duties:
- Audit and Risk Committee;
- Remuneration and Nomination Committee, and
- Environmental, Social and Ethics Committee.
The roles, responsibilities, accountabilities, and operating guidelines of committees are documented in the relevant Terms of Reference and are compliant with King IV principles. Committees' terms of reference are approved by the whole Board and are reviewed periodically, considering regulatory guidance and industry best practices, ensuring the Board and Committees are adaptive and responsive.
Details of the current membership of each committee can be found under the governance section on MAS' website.
The established committees are detailed below.
Audit and Risk ('ARC')
The ARC Terms of Reference comply with King IV. This Committee ensures that the Group's financial performance is properly reported on and monitored and reviews internal control systems, procedures and processes, and is responsible for implementing an effective Risk Management Policy for strategic and operational risk. It also oversees the external and internal audit processes. The ARC meets at least three times a year.
Remuneration and Nomination
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee Terms of Reference comply with King IV. This Committee reviews and sets remuneration levels across the Group, including providing employees with share purchase plans and oversees Directors' appointment, evaluating Board composition and succession planning. It meets at least annually.

The ESEC monitors and reviews compliance with all applicable legislation, regulations and listing requirements and ensures that the ethical culture and core values are ingrained throughout the Group. The ESEC meets at least annually.
Commitment to good governance
Good governance enables the Group to maintain an ethical culture, deliver exceptional performance and achieve effective control and legitimacy.
High standards of corporate governance and ethics are intrinsic to the Company's sustainability, and are driven by the Chairman, CEO and Board, who lead by example. To best serve the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders, MAS' corporate governance is continually reviewed, assessed, and improved. Group's policies are regularly reviewed and updated.
Ethical and effective leadership
Board members are unified in their approach and understand their responsibility to lead in an ethical manner to safeguard stakeholder's interests. It is a critical part of the Company's strategy to operate as a responsible corporate citizen. In conducting the Group's affairs, the Board endorses the principles of fairness, responsibility, transparency, and accountability advocated by King IV, in addition to acting with integrity.
The Board Charter, Fraud Prevention, Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption policy, codes of conduct for the Directors, staff and suppliers are all in operation. There have been no incidents or reports of breaches, bribery, corruption or whistleblowing during the financial year.
The ESEC plays a key role in exercising oversight of ethics and, although responsibility is delegated to this Committee, the Board remains accountable for all ethical matters.
Corporate governance principles
As a business listed on the Main Board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, MAS remains committed to complying with the listings requirements of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, general principles of good corporate governance and, in particular, to the recommendations for best practice as laid down within the corporate governance principles as recommended by King IV. The Group continues to apply the 'comply and explain' approach. Exceptions and differences regarding the application of the principles and recommendations, if any, are recorded and reviewed periodically by the Board.
The King IV Application Register, setting out how the Company has applied these principles, is available on the Group's website: www.masrei.com.
Corporate governance framework
The Board considers that effective governance is achieved by the creation of an appropriate governance culture through leadership and collaboration. This is of particular importance during sustained periods of growth when there is substantial change within the organisation. The Board is committed to the highest standards of business integrity, ethical values and governance. The Group recognises its responsibility to conduct affairs with prudence, transparency, accountability, fairness and social responsibility, whilst safeguarding the interests of all stakeholders. The Corporate Governance Framework is intended to underpin decision making, via robust interrogation of the Group's strategy, execution and, ultimately,
performance. Effective risk management, coupled with an ethos of continuous improvement are areas of ongoing focus.
Board charter and codes of ethics and conduct
Exemplary standards of behaviour are expected when representing or acting as an agent on behalf of MAS. In addition to Board members and staff, this applies to suppliers, joint-venture partners, and consultants.
The Board Charter and the Directors' Code of Ethics and Conduct are the key documents adhered to by the Board. They govern and direct the level of professional competence and integrity required by Directors in business dealings on behalf of the Group.
The Staff Code of Ethics and Conduct is available to all staff and demonstrates the Company's commitment to strong values and human rights. MAS does not tolerate any form of unlawful or unethical behaviour by any person or entity associated with it.
The Board Charter and the various codes of ethics and conduct are reviewed periodically and updated as required.
Conflicts of interest disclosures
The Group conducted a detailed review of its Conflicts of Interest Policy and Directors' declarations during the financial year to enhance the comprehensive program for disclosure, and each Director is satisfied, so far as they are aware, that they have fully and frankly disclosed information in a manner which is sufficient for them and the Company to comply with requirements.
Broad-based black economic empowerment
Being a foreign inwardly-listed company on the JSE, MAS previously obtained legal advice as to whether it is obliged to report on its compliance with Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) in terms of the BBBEE Act and paragraph 16.20 of the JSE Listings Requirements, which concluded that MAS is not subject to any duty imposed in South Africa. Notwithstanding this, the Group is an equal opportunities employer and is determined that its policies and actions reflect fair and equitable treatment across all aspects of the business.
Statement
The Board is satisfied that it has fulfilled its responsibilities in accordance with its Board Charter and its Code of Ethics and Conduct. MAS has complied with applicable legislation, particularly with reference to the incorporation provisions as set out in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) Companies Act and has operated in conformity with MAS' Articles of Association during the year under review.
Furthermore, the Group has applied, in all material respects, the principles of King IV Code of Corporate Governance during the financial year.

MAS Real Estate Inc. Annual Report 2021
REPORT OF THE AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE
Significant judgements and estimation uncertainties
The Committee assessed if suitable accounting policies had been selected and if appropriate judgements regarding application had been made, and whether management had made appropriate estimates. The Committee paid attention to matters it considered important because of their impact on the Group's results and particularly those involving more complexity and management judgement or estimation.
The Committee obtained assurance from the external auditor in relation to assessments relating to key audit matters and other significant matters which are detailed below.
Key audit matters
- Valuation of investment properties and investment property held for sale.
- Impact of coronavirus.
How the Committee addressed these issues
- The valuation of investment property and investment property held for sale requires significant judgement and estimation, therefore the Committee discussed the process with management ensuring compliance with industry standards and stock exchange requirements. The Company obtained independent valuation reports for each asset, for each half-year period and the Committee discussed the reports and assumptions considered in these, with the auditors as well as with management.
- The Committee reviewed and assessed management's going concern analysis and key assumptions used in preparing the going concern model with regard to the pandemic, and the potential impact of a fourth wave, considering various base case and downside case scenarios. The Committee also considered the disclosures presented in the financial statements related to this matter and deemed them adequate.
External auditor
The Committee appoints the external auditor and oversees audit effectiveness and independence. This is achieved by focusing on the following key areas:
- review of the scope of the annual audit plan, particularly its appropriateness, key audit matters and materiality;
- assess external auditor's effectiveness in relation to independence and audit quality, and
- consider appropriateness of, and approve external auditor's remuneration fees.
Committee also debated the appropriateness of the key audit matters identified.
The Committee confirmed that the external auditor has been effective in adequately fulfilling its responsibilities and has the requisite qualifications, expertise and resources to discharge its duties based on the information provided in terms of paragraph 22.15(h) of the JSE Listings Requirements.
The Group's external auditor, PwC, confirmed to the Committee that it remains independent and has maintained the necessary internal safeguards to ensure the objectivity of the audit partner and staff. The Group and the external auditor are satisfied that no relationships exist between them other than in the ordinary course of business.
The Committee has reviewed the appropriateness of the external auditor's fee within the context of the Group's challenges and complexity faced during the financial year, increased communication between the Committee and external auditor and the audit's multi-jurisdictional nature. The Committee reviewed the fees and concluded they are commensurate with the work performed and sufficient to perform a quality audit.
The fees approved in respect of PwC are detailed in the table below.
| 30 Jun 21 | 30 Jun 20 | |
|---|---|---|
| €'000 | €'000 | |
| Group interim review fee* | 100 | 85 |
| Group year-end audit fee* | 474 | 476 |
| Statutory and standalone audit fees | 84 | 86 |
| Non-audit fees** | 156 | 48 |
| Total | 814 | 695 |
- Numbers include full fees for audit work performed for the DJV in the context of MAS' financial statements.
** Non-audit fees incurred during the financial year ended 30 June 2021, relate exclusively to the external auditor's involvement in the bond issue process.
The non-audit services policy requires that all non-audit services performed by the external auditor are approved by the Committee. The policy clarifies the scope of additional services and requires approval from the Committee before any non-audit services are engaged for the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Combined assurance framework
The Group utilises a combined assurance model to manage risk and ensure the effectiveness of controls, risk management procedures and governance processes. The model's multiple lines of defence emphasise the fundamental concept of holistic risk management and allows MAS to manage risk exposure while optimising opportunities.
Risk management
Effective risk management is essential to achieving strategic and operational objectives and goals. Risk management is fundamental to good management practice and is a significant aspect of the corporate governance process as it is integral to decision-making and day-to-day management and is incorporated into strategic and operational planning processes across the organisation.
Ultimately, managing risk is Board's responsibility, however, without abdicating this authority, the Board has delegated this function to the Committee, which oversees risk management. Executive management have day-to-day responsibility for the implementation of risk management. The Committee focuses on key risks that affect the business and these are assessed regularly.
Internal controls
The Group's internal control framework considers the following components:
- Risk identification;
- Risk assessment;
- Risk response;
- Risk monitoring, and
- Risk reporting.
The Committee is satisfied that adequate processes were in place and internal controls operated effectively throughout this period.
Whistleblowing
The Committee is responsible for overseeing MAS' whistleblowing policy that provides a formal framework for staff members and Directors to raise concerns if they believe misconduct or illegal activities are present within the organisation, or supply chain.
To facilitate this, the Group maintains a dedicated, independent and confidential Whistleblowing Hotline for staff, operated by an independent firm of chartered accountants, which is available 24/7. Concerns can be raised by email, online or by telephone to preserve anonymity.
There have been no instances of whistleblowing this year.

PART TWO
Compensation Policy
Compensation - staff
Philosophy
The remuneration philosophy is to attract, invest in and retain the best talent, enabling the Company to meet strategic objectives.
Long-term staff performance and productivity is driven by numerous factors, including skills and knowledge, respect for leadership,
experience, positive work environment, personal investment in business and a transparent and fair remuneration system. Compensation and staff policies are fair and transparent, ensuring long-term focused staff contributions are aligned with Group values.
The Group's main principles of people management are based on:
- attracting, retaining and developing staff;
- staff acknowledging and adhering to the corporate culture and, more specifically, core organisational staff values;
- staff's alignment with shareholders' interests;
- a performance culture, based on maintaining a healthy balance between individual performance and teamwork;
- support, reinforce and reward of excellence;
- effective selection and use of resources;
- appropriate, efficient and cost-effective compensation structures;
- compliance with regulatory and ethical standards;
- having compensation structures that reflect the Risk Management Policy;
- appraisal and control, and
- fairness and accountability.
Compensation structure
| Component | Principle | Instrument | Eligibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed compensation | Fair and competitive to attract talent and ensure a reasonable standard of living. | Monthly cash payments | All staff |
| Variable compensation | Awards based on a combination of individual performance assessment, individual's contribution to profitability and MAS' overall, long-term financial results. | Cash bonus | Staff other than senior executives |
| In addition to the competitiveness of total compensation packages, if the Company is outperforming objectives, for instance, by delivering returns more than the risk-adjusted return on equity required by shareholders, compensation should also outperform the market. | MAS shares in lieu of cash bonus | Staff other than senior executives | |
| MAS Share Purchase Scheme ('MAS SPS') | Senior executives |
MID-MANAGEMENT AND LOWER-LEVEL STAFF
Cash bonus
A biannual bonus pool, subject to the Group's profitability, is generated and distributed based on an individual's contribution to MAS' financial success. This is facilitated through a biannual, 360-degree performance appraisal system, where staff are assessed by colleagues and managers, based on achievements, especially in relation to core values, and individual contribution to results, and adjusted, and moderated, by senior management.
Cash bonuses are generally awarded to mid-management and lower-level staff.
Senior management and individuals who, due to their roles, can, and do, make material contribution to the Group's profitability, for instance, Executive Directors, function heads, asset managers, other relevant staff members are invited to participate in the MAS SPS, excluding them from the Cash bonus scheme. Cash bonuses are payable in three parts, with the payment of the second and third instalments deferred for 12 and 24 months respectively. The deferred payments are subject to, amongst others, continued overall profitability in managements' discretion and continued employment on payment date.
The cash bonus is discretionary and awarded when merited. When determining the amount, multiple factors are considered, including overall remuneration as compared to market related compensation levels. Individual annualised bonuses typically range from one to three months' salary. The payment of second and/or third instalments is subject to retroactive negative adjustment in cases of gross misconduct.

REPORT OF THE REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE
MAS shares in lieu of cash bonus
Staff may, occasionally, be granted the opportunity to invest their cash bonus in MAS shares. Typically, this involves converting bonuses into a direct, or indirect, entitlement to MAS shares, acquired in the market, subject to the following terms and conditions:
- the shares cannot be sold for a specific period (lock-in period), after which, subject to continued engagement, staff may trade the shares;
- MAS shares revert to the relevant employer or issuing party, without compensation if a participant's engagement ceases prior to the end of the lock-in period, and
- participants benefit from dividend payments declared by MAS, subject to continued employment.
SENIOR EXECUTIVES
MAS Share Purchase Scheme ('MAS SPS')
Senior executives, defined as senior managers and individuals who, due to their roles, can, and do make greater contributions to Group profitability, for instance, Executive Directors, function heads, asset managers, other relevant staff members, are invited to participate in the MAS SPS. Staff who participate cannot participate in other bonus schemes (detailed above). Participation is based on performance appraisals or attracting new talent.
Short-term key performance indicators (KPIs) have no relevance in the determination of compensation for senior executives as the Company views this practice as incentivising short-term behaviours, which may be detrimental to shareholders' returns in the long term, and not suitable for accommodating sudden or abrupt changes in circumstances or business environment. Consistent with MAS' long-term approach to compensation, the Company applies total shareholders' returns as the single performance indicator for senior executives' incentivisation.
All decisions regarding matters of capital allocation, operational, including staffing and remuneration, and other factors are driven by the same indicator, with a view to maximise long-term total shareholders' returns in a sustainable manner.
The compensation structure for senior executives thus reflects the Company's strategy to sustainably maximise long-term returns to shareholders. Each senior executive's total compensation is established by considering the cost to company (CTC) in respect of each element of compensation.
Compensation packages are designed to include a fixed portion (cash package) and a variable portion, through participation in the MAS SPS. The Company favours weighing at least a third of total senior executive compensation to long-term incentivisation. Shares are issued in the MAS SPS, and cost is reflected as part of the senior executives' base packages in accordance with the applicable vesting terms of each issue.
The CTC (and shareholders) associated with the issue of MAS SPS shares is the expected net reduction in absolute return to shareholders due to the MAS SPS issues over the term of the applicable loans (measured at the Company's cost of equity and cost of finance applicable to the MAS SPS loans) at the time of the share issues. The actual benefit realised by senior executives is dependent on the actual total returns to shareholders achieved after the issues of shares in the MAS SPS. As a result, there is strong alignment and appropriate correlation between long-term shareholders' return and total compensation of senior executives.
Below is a graphical illustration of the potential annual base package (CTC) translation to actual average annual compensation for a senior staff member over a five-year period, assuming the individual's compensation is structured equally as fixed remuneration and the MAS SPS, and that the staff member would remain in the Group's employment for a period of five years post the MAS SPS share issue. For purposes of illustration, market related base compensation (CTC) is set at €100,000 per year and assumed employment of five years is associated with the full vesting period of the MAS SPS, as described below. If the individual would leave prior to full vesting of the MAS SPS shares, the staff member's benefits would decrease substantially (likely to below base compensation level), whereas if the individual remains with the Group for longer than the full vesting period actual benefits derived could significantly increase over time, thus encouraging staff retention and incentivising for long-term thinking.

Concurrency of compensation structure with five-year total annual shareholders' return
The graph illustrates appropriateness of alignment of and correlation between magnitude of long-term total shareholders' returns and potential benefits derived by senior executives participating in the MAS SPS. Whilst cash remuneration establishes a floor to total annual compensation, senior executives' total compensation derived over the period is below base (market) compensation packages where total shareholders' returns are below expectations, and it exceeds base compensation to the extent that total annual shareholders' returns over the prior outperform.
Eligible members of staff invited to participate in the MAS SPS are awarded loans to acquire Company shares at the five-day volume weighted average price of a share on the JSE, immediately preceding the date they were admitted to the MAS SPS (Offer Date). The loans attract interest at a rate equal to the Company's weighted average cost of debt and are non-recourse loans.
Shares are unlocked in accordance with the scheme's rules, and participants may only dispose of unlocked shares. Locked shares are forfeited, without compensation, if staff leave the Group prior to unlocking.
Participants in the MAS SPS are entitled to receive dividend payments less interest accumulated on the applicable loans.
Proceeds from any disposal of unlocked shares are first used to repay the corresponding loan and accrued, but unpaid, interest, with the surplus distributed to the participant.
MAS Real Estate Inc Annual Report 2021
REPORT OF THE REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE
With regard to offers made after 31 August 2020, 33.3% of scheme shares are unlocked on the third anniversary of the Offer Date and the balance on the fifth anniversary and malus and clawback provisions apply. Malus refers to the retroactive negative adjustment of the number of shares offered. Clawback represents monetary recovery imposed by the Board on a participant, or former participant, of up to the net benefits derived by said individual.
Therefore, in respect of shares issued or allotted since August 2020, malus and/or clawback may be invoked (in the latter instance, it applies to benefits derived for a period of up to three years after vesting of the relevant shares) on the discovery by the Board of any event, act or omission, involving, or attributable to, a participant in the MAS SPS leading or amounting to:
- a material misstatement of the financial results resulting in an adjustment of MAS' audited consolidated accounts or the financial statements of any member of the Group;
- serious misconduct (based on the reasonable opinion of the Board), or
- a material censure, or potential material censure, under legislation or regulations of any regulatory authority applicable to any part of the Company (based on the reasonable opinion of the Board).
The amount of this malus and/or clawback is at discretion of the Board, who must act reasonably.
Cost allocation to the development joint venture with Prime Kapital
As a result of the Transaction, certain staff members continue to provide services to the DJV with Prime Kapital for the full duration of the agreement. Staff covering functions incorporating asset management, finance, legal, human resources and other operational functions, as well as relevant systems, and processes were transferred by Prime Kapital to MAS.
Staff costs, whether fixed compensation, bonuses or participation in the MAS SPS, are allocated to, and recovered from, the DJV based on the time individual staff work on the DJV (excluding MAS' own administration in respect of the DJV). This principle is applied reciprocally. Costs in respect of deferred bonuses are allocated based on the staff members' time spent on the project in the six-month period immediately preceding the original allocation and are recovered from the DJV at the time of payment to staff. In respect of MAS SPS participation, cost in relation to shares issued is allocated to and recovered from the DJV in each consecutive six-month period during the five-year vesting period, based on the staff member's time spent during those periods. Costs associated with the MAS SPS that was recovered from the DJV in respect of shares that were later forfeited, are reimbursed to the DJV.
Composition of compensation - Board
Non-Executive Directors
Non-Executive Directors received, for the financial year 2021, a base fee, plus additional compensation for participation on Committees. To avoid any potential conflict of interest, and to maintain independence, Non-Executive Directors do not participate in the Group's variable compensation scheme. They are reimbursed for proper and reasonable costs incurred while performing duties and are entitled to request expert advice and input as required to fulfil responsibilities.
Non-Executive Directors' compensation is benchmarked annually and adjusted for inflation, and reflect annual responsibilities, as well as meeting attendance and Committee obligations.
Executive Directors
As part of the Transaction Agreement with Prime Kapital, dated 27th November 2019, Martin Slabbert and Victor Semionov were appointed as Executive Directors, respectively, for the duration of a three-year lock-in period, starting on Transaction closing date. The duration of the lock-in period, and their mandate was estimated to reflect MAS' business transition to CEE.
The appointment of Martin Slabbert and Victor Semionov was contingent on no remuneration (fixed or variable) being paid to either, by MAS, for the duration of the lock-in period.
Executive Directors, apart from Martin Slabbert and Victor Semionov, as mentioned above, are compensated as senior executives, strongly aligning interests of shareholders with those of management and consistent with MAS' long-term approach to compensation, i.e. that the Company applies total long-term shareholders' returns as the single performance indicator for Executive Directors' incentivisation. All decisions regarding matters of capital allocation, operational, including staffing and remuneration, and other factors are driven by the same indicator, with a view to maximise long-term total shareholders' returns in a sustainable manner.
Executive Directors' compensation packages are set by the Board with reference to market related compensation levels and combined with the semi-annual review process which focuses on core staff values, and the Board favours weighing more than 50% of total Executive Directors' compensation to long-term incentivisation by means of participation in the MAS SPS.
Shares are issued in the MAS SPS, and cost is reflected as part of the Executive Directors' base packages in accordance with the applicable vesting terms of each issue. The actual future benefit realised by the Executive Directors from MAS SPS participation is dependent on the actual total returns to shareholders achieved after the issues of shares in the MAS SPS. As a result, there is strong alignment of and appropriate correlation between magnitude of long-term shareholders' return and total compensation of Executive Directors, as is illustrated in more detail above under section 'MAS Share Purchase Scheme ('MAS SPS')'.
PART THREE
Compensation Implementation Report

Non-Executive Directors - total compensation
Following the restructuring and redistribution of responsibilities between Committees, a thorough review and market benchmarking exercise was undertaken at the end of the 2021 financial year aimed at aligning fee structure with market rates. Following a review of the analysis, a fee structure simplification, commencing at the start of the upcoming financial year (1 July 2021) was recommended to the Board for approval. Once the Company is redomiciled to Malta, the Committee will revisit the Non-Executive Directors' fees to consider appropriate adjustments. The fee schedule is presented below.

Notes
- Includes net distributions received on participant's MAS SPS shares during the year. Distributions in respect of participants are first used to repay interest on the participant's loan account and any net proceeds are paid to the participant and included in net qualifying distributions.
- The portion of the award vesting within 12 months after year-end is calculated as follows: number of shares awarded multiplied by year-end volume weighted average price (VWAP), less the pro-rata balance of loan relating to the shares that vest in the relevant period. Estimated closing fair value is therefore nil for (a) participants that have joined the MAS SPS prior to 2020 as options are out-of-money at the end of each year, and (b) for participants that have joined the MAS SPS during 2021 financial year, as no awards vest within 12 months after year-end.
- Werner Behrens and Paul Osbourn were invited to join the MAS SPS in June 2019, with 842,980 and 688,147 shares awarded respectively. These share awards related to the recruitment of both individuals and were not performance related. Pursuant to their resignations from MAS' Board, the shares awarded have been forfeited in repayment of the loan advanced to them by MAS in terms of the MAS SPS. Accordingly, 1,531,127 MAS shares have been delisted and cancelled during the 2020 financial year.
- Irina Grigore and Dan Petrisor were invited to join the MAS SPS starting September 2020 and during the financial year they were awarded and accepted 642,339 shares (Irina Grigore) and 283,448 shares (Dan Petrisor), respectively. These figures do not include shares awarded and accepted after the financial year end, 1,098,450 shares (Irina Grigore) and 174,823 shares (Dan Petrisor), respectively, on 1 September 2021.

MAS Real Estate Inc Annual Report 2021
REPORT OF THE REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE
Nomination
Roles and responsibilities
The Committee is responsible for the below roles and responsibilities, as set out in its Terms of Reference.
- ensuring a formal and transparent process when identifying and appointing Directors;
- regularly reviewing the Board's size and composition, including skills, knowledge, experience and diversity, taking into account the challenges and opportunities facing, or likely to face, the Company;
- identifying and nominating suitable Board members, as and when vacancies arise;
- performing reference and background checks on candidates prior to nomination;
- overseeing the development of a formal induction program for new Directors;
- ensuring relevant Directors are developed through a mentorship programme;
- overseeing the development and implementation of a continuous professional development programme for Directors;
- ensuring Directors receive regular briefings on changes in risks, legislation and the environment in regions where MAS operates;
- annually assessing the independence of Independent Non-Executive Directors to ensure they have not been compromised, or prejudiced, in any way;
- considering Directors' performance and proposing individuals for re-election or termination as required;
- ensuring Board members have a formal letter of appointment, which clearly sets out what is expected regarding commitment and responsibilities, and
- ensuring formal succession plans for Board members, CEO and senior management appointments are in place and implemented.
Purpose
The Committee assesses and ensures that the Board's composition, skills, knowledge, and diversity are appropriate to the challenges and opportunities facing MAS.
Changes to the Board and succession
The terms of the Transaction entered with Prime Kapital during November 2019, included a three-year mandate for the appointed executives to oversee the repositioning of the business, a commitment to ensure that MAS builds and sustainably retains the ability to manage its income-generating investment properties in CEE without reliance on third parties and to strengthen its capacity to manage and grow Central and Eastern European investments. It was intended that Martin Slabbert and Victor Semionov would step down when the transition to CEE was complete, and, given their pre-existing interest in Prime Kapital and MAS' pre-existing and ongoing business relationship with Prime Kapital via the DJV, returning full-time to Prime Kapital.
Since November 2019, notable and rapid progress has been made with the repositioning of the business to CEE. The Board has had the opportunity to work closely with impressive management candidates, and, on 24 February 2021, appointed Irina Grigore as CFO and Executive Director of MAS replacing Victor Semionov who remained an Executive Director of MAS.
Subsequent to year end, as announced on 26 August 2021, Victor Semionov stepped down from the Board, and was replaced by Dan Petrisor who was appointed Executive Director (and, hence, is no longer an Alternate Director).
On the same date, the Board appointed Irina Grigore (CFO) to the position of Deputy CEO. Martin Slabbert will remain CEO for the time being and will step down as an Executive Director of MAS after the appointment of a Deputy CFO, and leaving adequate time for Irina to hand over to the new CFO prior to assuming the CEO role. Jonathan Knight stepped down as Alternate Director.
Following the above changes to the Executive Directors, and the change in status of Melt Hamman to Independent Non-Executive Director, MAS' Board comprises eight Non-Executive Directors, of whom seven are independent, and three Executive Directors, of whom two have no affiliation to, or interest in, Prime Kapital.
Werner Alberts was Interim Chairman following the Transaction with Prime Kapital in November 2019. Werner was originally appointed to the Board in September 2018 and was Lead Independent Director prior to being appointed Interim Chairman. On 26 August 2021, Werner was appointed (permanent) Chairman of the Board. Claudia Pendred, who joined the Board in December 2019, and has served on the Audit and Risk Committee since then, was appointed Lead Independent Director.
The Committee is satisfied with the Board's performance, skills and competence and recommended for approval all the aforementioned changes to the Board.
Independence of Directors
The interests of Independent Non-Executive Directors are monitored to ensure independence is not compromised, and a review, based on King IV, ensures continued independence. The Committee is satisfied that the Independent Non-Executive Directors remain independent, in both character and judgement, and comply with the independence requirements of King IV.
Conflicts of interest
Directors adhere to the Conflicts of Interest Policy, which is reviewed and approved annually, and requires each Director to submit a declaration of financial, economic and other interests, which may affect objectivity, and must be altered when such interests change.
Appointment terms
All Non-Executive Directors are provided with a letter of appointment detailing the terms of their assignment and expected commitment. Directors are not appointed for a fixed term, and one third of the Non-Executive Directors, on a rotating basis, are required to retire each year and may propose themselves for re-election.
An Independent Non-Executive Director holding office for nine-years or more is subject to an independence assessment by the Committee, following which any reappointment can be recommended on a rolling one-year basis.
All Directors are expected to attend Board meetings, in addition to attendance at relevant Committee meetings. The Board Charter and letter of appointment permits Directors to obtain independent advice in connection with their duties and MAS has Directors' and officers' liability insurance which covers the appointment's full term.
Directors' re-election
One third of the Non-Executive Directors retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting.
The Committee recommends Melt Hamman and Malcolm Levy for re-election.
Developing people at MAS
The Board recognises the importance of personal development and augments the Board's skill set on an ongoing basis. This is particularly relevant for succession planning for senior roles. Directors are also encouraged to enhance and develop skills, and are supported throughout this process.
Priorities for the year ahead
Over the next year, the Committee will continue to review and assess the implementation of the Compensation Policy and once the Company had been redomiciled to Malta, the Committee will revisit the Non-Executive Directors' fees for appropriateness. The Committee will continue to focus on the induction and integration of new Board members.
Considerations of the Committee
This report has been prepared in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements, King IV and other applicable regulation. The Committee is satisfied that the independence and objectivity of members has not been compromised in any way and that it has discharged its responsibilities during this period.

MAS Real Estate Inc. Annual Report 2021
REPORT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND ETHICS COMMITTEE
KING IV COMPLIANCE
The Company adopted and implemented King IV in 2018, bringing business processes and standards in line with those principles. The Committee appraised the King IV Application Register (available on Company website) and recommended its approval to the Board.
Establishing and maintaining an ethical culture
The core values articulated in King IV emphasise an ethical leadership and culture, good corporate citizenship and high behavioural standards for the Board, staff and suppliers, and are detailed in the relevant Codes of Conduct. The Committee oversees these and recommends any necessary changes ensuring a strong ethical culture.
Sustainability in development and responsible management
Aware of its social, economic and environmental impact, MAS has implemented key initiatives across assets it operates, including sustainable design, utilising green energy and extensive community engagement (detailed in 'Environmental and Social').
Acting with integrity is a core value, therefore ethical sourcing and practices are fundamental.
Health and safety
There was a continued focus on health and safety procedures in response to Covid-19 ensuring the safety of members of staff, tenants, suppliers and the public during the pandemic.
Responsible corporate citizenship
Management informs the Committee on initiatives undertaken, as well as the progress of ongoing matters.
Stakeholder relationships
Communication with stakeholders is fundamental to the Group's success. Investors' and other stakeholders' perception of overall governance is important and the Committee ensures engagement with them and that third-party analysis is undertaken.
During the financial year the Group appointed an Investor Relations consultant whose main role is to engage with shareholders and provide a dedicated channel of communication between them and the Group, as well as other investors and analysts, and individual journalists when necessary.
Joint Venture partners
Since its inception in 2016, the relationship with Prime Kapital, the Group's joint venture partner in CEE, has been underpinned by a strong alignment of interests with regard to pursuing the best possible regional investment and development opportunities. Conflicts of interest that arise due to this relationship are robustly managed by the Board of Directors and the Committee monitors that the Conflicts of Interest Register, Directors' Declaration of Interests Register and Insider List Register are maintained by the Company Secretary.
Members of staff
People are central to the business, and the Committee is aligned with senior management in creating shareholder value. Staff are encouraged to further develop, improve and learn.
The Committee reviews and recommends the appropriate policies in respect of staff members, to ensure business targets are met. In addition to the members of staff Code of Ethics and Conduct, Group policies set out expected standards of performance and behaviour, and a periodic review of each is undertaken to ensure relevance.
Tenants, suppliers and third parties
Positive tenant relationships are fundamental to achieving long-term shareholder value. The Company has strong, direct communication with all tenants.
This open dialogue enables the Group to capitalise on value-add opportunities, such as tenant relocations within centres, lease prolongations and implementation of asset management initiatives. Interactions with suppliers and other third parties are based upon the minimum standard of conduct expected, regardless of jurisdiction or local practice and the Company ensures that engagements adhere to the Code of Conduct.
Compliance
The Committee ensures that the business is aware of, and complies with, its obligations under applicable legislation and regulations. It monitors compliance and reviews the corporate governance framework annually.
Whistleblowing
There were no instances of whistleblowing during the financial year or to the date of this report.
Priorities for the next year
The Committee's key targets for the following year are:
- continue to foster an ethical culture and ensure the Group's core values are adhered to throughout the organisation;
- overseeing the applicability of the Sustainability Framework, and
- further strengthen stakeholder communication and engagement.
Conclusion
The Committee is satisfied it has discharged its duties under its terms of reference from the Board.

Key Consumption Figures*
OPTIMISATION OF RESOURCE UTILISATION
Operations
Resource utilisation is measured throughout operations, especially energy, gas and water consumption and intensities, in an active effort to manage and decrease unnecessary use.
MAS aims to continuously reduce resource consumption by implementing energy saving measures. Energy efficiency is driven by properties' operations and management, and by tenant behaviour. To monitor and optimise energy, gas and water consumption, MAS utilises Building Management Systems (BMS).
The Group implements across all properties it operates energy-efficient solutions and when these are refurbished, specific measures are considered for optimising resource utilisation and minimisation of carbon footprint.
For example, over 70% of operational assets are fully equipped with LED lighting technology, with implementation in the remaining properties in planning.
Development
Prime Kapital, the Group's development partner, employs a significant amount of planning to the design and execution of the buildings developed or refurbished in recognition of high quality work and a development's impact on health and well-being. Residential and commercial properties must not only be safe and secure, but also promote mental and physical well-being for residents and visitors.

- The period over which key consumption figures have been measured is 30 June 2021 in comparison with 30 June 2020.
** The increase in gas consumption is mostly due to Covid-19 safety measures, as the amount of fresh air (compared to recycled air) was increased in retail centres, which resulted in a higher gas consumption, necessary for heating the additional fresh air supply.

Energy management
Electricity
The Group's largest environmental impact is caused by its energy consumption with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (converted into $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ equivalent) generated due to electricity consumption representing 85% of total carbon emissions for the 2021 financial year (2020: 90%). Given the amount of electricity used, reducing the carbon footprint requires the dedicated engagement of tenants, as well as efforts to improve energy efficiency and transition to renewable energy sources. Consequently, the Company is continuously working to optimise energy consumption, and has increased the use of renewable energy by 80%, which is the major driver behind the 31% reduction in carbon footprint, compared to the previous financial year.
Total electricity consumption decreased by 3%, although this figure is to some extent influenced by lockdowns and resumption of activities at a lower level compared to pre-pandemic levels.
Table below presents energy consumption in megawatt-hour (MWh) of CEE's and DJV's operational properties, for the 2021 financial year compared to prior financial year, as well as the use of renewable energy. Energy consumption is measured for common areas, tenants' and administrative units.

Gas
The implementation of public health measures to combat Covid-19 included, amongst others, increasing the amount of fresh air as opposed to recycled air within shopping centres, which, combined with prevalent weather conditions, contributed to a 17% increase in natural gas consumption during the 2021 financial year as compared to the previous year.

Water management
MAS' resource efficiency policy and environmental best practices, as it relates to water management, ensure that usage is carefully measured and optimised. The Group is actively reducing the amount of water used through the use of technical equipment designed to increase efficiency and improved operational practices. This includes water extraction from aquifers to maintain green spaces, reducing usage from the public network. Overall, these practices contributed to a 17% decrease in water consumption in the 2021 financial year compared to the previous year.

CLIMATE RISK MANAGEMENT
MAS supports the global objective as published in the 2015 Paris Agreement to limit average global warming to 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels, as well as reaching net-zero emissions by the second half of the 21st century.
In line with the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), a global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts, a key element of effective climate risk management is raising corporate awareness through presentation and disclosure of main aspects related to climate change and associated risks.
Climate risks are one component of overall risk management, playing an important role in the Group's strategic initiatives and operational activities.
The Group acknowledges its environmental responsibility and is striving for a lower-carbon footprint by considering climate risks when defining objectives, and measuring performance.
To adapt to, and address climate change and to be fully transparent with stakeholders, MAS is in the process of considering recommendations from the Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), established by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), on its sustainability strategy.
PROTECTION OF BIODIVERSITY
Construction may impact sensitive habitats and protected species, typically through habitat loss, wildlife corridor changes and noise pollution.
MAS, with partner Prime Kapital, maintains a close relationship with environmental authorities, ensuring that the impact of its activities on biodiversity is minimised or avoided altogether.
MAS closely monitors each property's flora, including surrounding area, and is committed to replacing any destroyed vegetation. A variety of plant species can be found on each property, carefully selected to suit the local ecosystem.
MAS has initiatives in place that are aimed at increasing environmental performance and conserving biodiversity, such as limiting excessive mowing, pruning branches outside bird mating season, installing breeding boxes for starlings and building insect houses.
In 2021, MAS organised events aimed at promoting a positive environmental impact:
- An Hour for the Earth (March 2021): Nova Park joined the campaign organised by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), held under the slogan 'An hour for the Baltic Sea'. For an hour, the facade was not illuminated and passage lighting dimmed.
- Earth Day (April 2021): Nova Park's local team cleaned the banks of the river Warta adjacent to the shopping centre.
- Flower Seedlings for Customers (May 2021): Each purchase at Nova Park entitled the customer to a seedling. The flowers were sourced locally.
- The Secret Life of Bees (June 2021): An educational exhibition was organised featuring a huge bee, giant flowers, a bee garden, beekeeping accessories and detailed information about bees. Each relevant customer received seeds for plants that attract honeybees and children's gardening tools.
In June 2021, over 100 volunteers planted 70 trees at Mall Moldova, Iasi.
Since Roman Value Centre opened, approximately $8,200\mathrm{m}^2$ of water-efficient irrigated lawns have been constructed.
Biodiversity initiatives are being put in place at Prime Kapital's three residential projects:
- At Avalon Estate, $28,000\mathrm{m}^2$ of the $81,000\mathrm{m}^2$ complex is parkland with 150 trees creating a verdant oasis. In addition, the pool uses natural filtration.
- At Marmura Residence, eco-roofs covered in vegetation effectively counteract heat emanating from the asphalt and concrete. The surrounding area comprises a combination of parkland and mobile potted plants.
- The Silk District project includes an urban forest, and out of $40,000\mathrm{m}^2$ of Phase 2, over $3,900\mathrm{m}^2$ will be parkland.

Community
Sustainable communities
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND COMMITMENT TOWARDS STAKEHOLDERS
MAS openly engages with authorities and communities, and builds long-term relationships. All projects have a direct social impact on communities, create jobs during construction and operation, generate local tax revenues, and provide infrastructure.
As an example of community engagement, a network of drive-in and outdoor cinemas was designed, permitted and constructed in eight Central and Eastern European properties. This was the first local network of outdoor cinemas in Romania. The audience could enjoy the largest screens ever built in Romania (300m²) with free access and a wide variety of food and drinks. The initiative was embraced by local communities, with over 55,000 visitors per month attending events screening over one hundred movies.
BRING VALUE TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES
As a responsible corporate citizen, the Company creates long-term relationships with local communities through meaningful activities, and partners with tenants, authorities, schools, libraries, hospitals and other non-profit organisations to raise awareness of, and invest in inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable communities.
Health and safety awareness
The advent of Covid-19 heralded a new focus on health and safety, and as a responsible landlord, the Group undertook numerous initiatives to ensure all centres were safe. Initiatives included installing thermometers and hand-sanitising stations, providing free disposable face masks for tenants and installing outdoor seating solutions in food courts, restaurants and cafes. In some communities, the Company implemented awareness campaigns stressing the importance of face mask usage.
Amongst other measures taken by the Group to combat the spread of Covid-19, all Central and Eastern European properties were equipped with EU digital Covid certificates scanners.


Humanitarian and public service campaigns
MAS is involved in various humanitarian campaigns and programmes promoting public service in local communities. One of such events was Donate Blood, Save Someone's Life held at Nova Park in February 2021 and organised in cooperation with the Lubuskie Centre for Blood Donation and Blood Treatment.
In response to the pandemic, the Group together with the Romanian Ministry of Health organised Drive Thru Vaccination Centres on several centre car parks, where over 21,000 community members had their Covid-19 vaccines. Additional vaccination campaigns are currently in place at several of the Group's centres, as a result of the most recent Covid-19 outbreak.
Education and culture awareness
MAS, in partnership with Prime Kapital, organises events promoting community education and culture. Each year the Group organises theatrical performances, concerts and fairs, highlighting local customs and traditions, including:
- educational events promoting extracurricular activities, such as music and dance classes, foreign language courses and sports clubs;
- children's chess tournaments, organised in partnership with local clubs, and
- workshops bringing parents together to discuss children's wellbeing.
Eco workshops and educational activities arranged in conjunction with National Geographic Kids magazine were held at Galleria Burgas and Galleria Stara Zagora, Bulgaria, with over 730 children and up to 1,800 visitors participating in daily quiz games about nature, animals and the environment.
Atrium Mall held exhibitions featuring reptiles, spiders and insects and promoted awareness of biodiversity by exhibiting the rarest species of reptiles and exotic fish.

GOVERNANCE
Key risks, opportunities and uncertainties
Effective risk management is fundamental to good management practice, corporate governance and achieving the Group's strategic and operational objectives. Executive management has the authority, and responsibility, to implement mitigating strategies and contingency actions, especially those with an associated cost or resource requirement, while the Board, assisted by the Audit and Risk Committee, directly exercises overall oversight.
Risk tolerance/appetite
To make adequate returns, MAS deliberately assumes risks. Consequently, risk management provides enhanced capabilities to align risk appetite and strategy, as well as to link growth, risk and return.
The purpose of risk management is not to completely avoid risk, but rather to consciously own risks, by imposing measures to control and decrease the potential negative economic impact of existing risks.
MAS' risk tolerance is based on the following principles, which include central rules of conduct for handling risks:
- continuous optimisation of systematic processes for risk management and maintaining a measured culture of risk and control;
- the Group practices risk management that is proportional to the size, nature and complexity of its activities, and
- in the case of an unclear risk situation, or doubts regarding methodology, the principle of prudence takes precedence.
The Group expects to benefit from the continual high growth in Central and Eastern European consumption by directly deploying capital in income property and indirectly in commercial and residential developments via the Development Joint Venture (DJV) with co-investor, developer and general contractor Prime Kapital. Capital historically invested in Western European property is being divested.
The current strategy increased execution risk in the disposal of the Western European assets and redeployment of capital in Central and Eastern European markets. To mitigate this risk, MAS previously implemented a disposal plan to maximise the value of assets and meet capital requirements, and, during the 2021 financial year, as planned, disposed of the majority of Western European assets. MAS is continuing to concentrate on capital allocation with increased focus to minimise risks arising from redeployment of capital in CEE, in line with its long-term investment approach of maximising total long-term returns from investments on a per share basis.
Part of MAS' strategy is to be flexible when attracting additional capital resources and to benefit from unsecured group-level funding.
As such, during the 2021 financial year, the Group obtained debut credit ratings and issued unsecured Eurobonds, and used the proceeds to repay bank loans secured against Central and Eastern European investment properties, while the remainder are to be invested in high-quality Central and Eastern European assets during the following years.
To ensure debt and liquidity-related risks arising from this strategic shift are properly managed, management permanently monitors self-imposed restrictions, in addition to bond covenants and credit ratings key indicators.
Combined assurance framework
In line with King IV, the Group implemented a combined assurance model to manage risk and ensure the effectiveness of controls, risk management procedures and governance processes.
This model incorporates and optimises all assurance services and functions so that, taken as a whole, these enable an effective control environment, support the integrity of information used for decision making by executive management, the Board and its committees and support the probity of external reports.
Approach
The Combined Assurance Framework has five lines of defence for managing risk across the organisation and ensuring the effectiveness of controls, risk management and governance.
These defences emphasise the fundamental concept of risk management and supports its execution, and are detailed as follows.

Tone is the organisation's collective mindset, set by executive and senior management, and reinforced through members of staff's behaviour, fostering a collective responsibility to risk. Tone is set and reinforced at all levels through:
- ensuring executive management's approach to risk is aligned with the Board's messages and values;
- the Group's vision and mission;
- the Company's values, and ensuring everyone acts accordingly;
- the Corporate Governance Framework, which sets parameters for organisational operation, and
- independent committees, which implement the Risk Management Framework and oversee risk, although early threat identification remains each person's responsibility.
ii. Function management
Management is responsible for all the Group's operations and bears ultimate responsibility for managing associated risks, as well as establishing tone. They design, implement and monitor controls to address identified risks within each function.
iii. Committees
The Audit and Risk Committee and the Environmental, Social and Ethics Committee share responsibility for ensuring that risk management procedures and governance processes are operating effectively throughout. They act as an independent reviewer of the Group's operations, escalate material weaknesses to the Board and provide insight and expertise to function managers.

KEY RISKS, OPPORTUNITIES AND UNCERTAINTIES
Audit and Risk Committee
The Audit and Risk Committee provides independent oversight of the effectiveness of MAS' risk functions and services, with particular focus on the Combined Assurance Framework, including external assurance service providers, risk management, internal audit and finance functions.
The committee is also responsible for understanding the Group's internal financial controls systems, which identify, assess, manage and monitor financial risks, and other internal control and risk management systems.
Environmental, Social and Ethics Committee
Through a company-wide framework, the Environmental, Social and Ethics Committee provides independent oversight of effective governance policies and procedures and reviews staff adherence to the framework.
iv. Assurance
Assurance combines external and internal audit. The external auditor's primary role is proffering an opinion on whether MAS' financial statements are free of material misstatements. Internal audit helps the Group accomplish objectives by utilising a systematic and disciplined approach to the evaluation and improvement of risk management, control and governance.
External audit
The external auditor is appointed by the Board based on the Audit and Risk Committee's recommendation.
The auditor performs audits on the Group's annual financial statements each year on 30 June. A review of the 31 December interim financial statements is also performed with the same frequency.
The external auditor reports to the Audit and Risk Committee any significant findings, including, if the case, any deficiency identified in internal controls. Furthermore, the Audit and Risk Committee has, at least annually, a closed-door meeting with the external auditor without executive management present, to allow open and transparent communication.
Internal Audit
The internal audit provides assurance that all lines of defence are effective and uses the lines of defence framework to focus specifically on risk management.
The internal audit function reports directly to the Audit and Risk Committee, which also approves the risk-based internal audit plan.
During the 2021 financial year, MAS established an internal audit function, independent from management and tasked with providing risk-based and objective assurance by assessing the effectiveness of the organisation's governance, risk management and internal controls.
v. Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is the last line of defence and mediates between commercial and control activities by ensuring an appropriate balance. This is achieved by Board acting on information regarding risks, which is provided by all Group members (staff, senior management, Directors, Board committees), and particularly the Audit and Risk Committee.
This allows the Board to have oversight over the risk management process and respond appropriately to highlighted risks.
Risk management process
1. Risk Identification
Risk identification is the starting point of the risk management process, setting the foundation for subsequent steps and aims to expose, detect and document all possible sources of risks which could affect the achievement of the Group's objectives. Risk identification is two-tiered: a top-down approach involving the identification of key strategic risks by the Board and its Committees, combined with a predominantly bottom-up approach where key operational risks are identified by members of staff, including senior and executive management.
2. Risk assessment and measurement
An essential prerequisite for risk handling and related decisions is measurement. Risks are assessed to determine impact and possibility. The Group's inherent risk level is continually reassessed, considering developments in the economy, market, strategy or assets. A risk impact matrix categorises the likelihood and impact of incidents and assists in comparing and prioritising threats.
Measurement of risk categories and risk factors is based on two approaches.
- Quantitative approach: the quantitative approach applies to all risk categories which have sufficient historical data for statistical analysis.
- Qualitative approach: the qualitative approach applies to all risk categories where insufficient data for valid statistical analysis is available. Typically, this results in a frequency/severity estimate or an estimate based on another scaling approach, such as high, middle or low.
Once a risk is identified, management assesses severity. When measuring the risk, management considers potential impact and likelihood of occurrence. To this end, the residual risk is measured. Residual risk remains after considering the mitigating effects of controls. Hence, a sound understanding of the effectiveness of controls is necessary, while a close correlation with the internal controls framework is advantageous. The risk owners must consider the results of the controlled assessment regarding likelihood and severity.
3. Risk Response
Controls mitigate risks, and their suitability and effectiveness are continually monitored and evaluated. It is management's responsibility to implement controls to mitigate identified risks. Internal controls do not eliminate risks but help reduce their impact to gain reasonable assurance that the business objectives and sub-objectives are being met. The Audit and Risk Committee reviews the effectiveness of the internal control system and executive management's evaluations.
4. Risk Monitoring
To monitor the effectiveness of its risk management process, the Audit and Risk Committee meets at least three times a year, in addition to informal meetings when necessary. The Audit and Risk Committee reviews the effectiveness of the internal control system and executive management's evaluations.
5. Risk Reporting
The Group uses the Risk Register as a reporting and monitoring risk management tool to ensure effective identification and mitigation.

KEY RISKS, OPPORTUNITIES AND UNCERTAINTIES
R6: RAPID GROWTH IN E-COMMERCE WITH NEGATIVE EFFECT ON BRICK AND MORTAR RETAIL
| CONTEXT | IMPLICATIONS | RESPONSE | OPPORTUNITY | CONTROLLED RISK RATING |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Group misinterprets or underestimates challenges facing brick and mortar retail, because of rapid growth in online retail. | Potential impact on tenants' sales, reducing rental income. | Continuous monitoring of retail trends and market results where MAS operates. | Reconfiguration of retail assets to maximise value and optimise tenant mix. | Impact: major |
| Probability: remote possibility | ||||
| Reduced income streams through downward rent renegotiations. | In the short- to medium-term, Central and Eastern European markets have inadequate retail supplies and logistical barriers to e-commerce and are considered more resilient. | Central and Eastern European market's current barriers to e-commerce penetration means retail remains an attractive proposition. | ||

Independent auditor's report to the shareholders of MAS Real Estate Inc.
Our opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated annual financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of MAS Real Estate Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") as at 30 June 2021, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
What we have audited
MAS Real Estate Inc.'s consolidated annual financial statements (the "financial statements") comprise:
- the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021;
- the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the year then ended;
- the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income for the year then ended;
- the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
- the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
- the notes to the financial statements, which include significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing ("ISAs"). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements" section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants ("IESBA Code"). We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code.
Our audit approach
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| Key audit matter | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|---|---|
| Valuation of investment property and investment property held for sale |
Refer to Note 4.2 'Investment property held for sale', Note 12 'Investment property', Note 13 'Investment in equity-accounted investee' and Note 24 'Critical accounting estimates, judgements and errors'. | Given the inherent subjectivity involved in the valuation of the property portfolio, and therefore the need for strong market knowledge when determining the most appropriate assumptions and the technicalities of valuation methodology, we engaged our internal valuation experts with relevant qualifications to assist us in this area. |
| The Group's investment property portfolio is split between Retail properties in Central and Eastern Europe and Retail and Hotel properties and Land in Western Europe. The valuation in the financial statements for the investment property held for sale is €211,640 thousand, for the investment property is €458,603 thousand and for the investment in equity-accounted investee is €37,365 thousand. The majority of the assets underlying the investment in the equity-accounted investee comprises investment property. | We assessed the valuers' qualifications and expertise and read their terms of engagement with the Group to determine whether there were any matters that might have affected their objectivity or may have imposed scope limitations upon their work. We also considered fees and other contractual arrangements that might exist between the Group and the valuers. We found no evidence to suggest that the objectivity of the valuers was compromised. |
| The valuation of the Group's investment property held for sale, investment property and the equity-accounted investee's investment property was identified as a key audit matter given that the valuation is inherently subjective due to, among other factors, the individual nature of each property, its location and the expected future rental streams for that particular property. Coronavirus further contributed to the subjectivity for the year ended 30 June 2021. The significance of accounting estimates and judgements involved warrants specific audit focus, coupled with the fact that only small differences in individual property valuations when aggregated could result in a material misstatement. | We read the valuation reports for a sample of the properties and confirmed that the valuation approach for each property selected was in accordance with RICS standards or equivalent and suitable for use in determining the carrying value for the purpose of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. |
| | We held meetings with management and the valuers, as appropriate, at which the valuations and the key assumptions and rationale therein were discussed and challenged, particularly in light of coronavirus, focusing on the largest properties in the portfolio, significant valuation movements and where the valuation basis has changed in the year. |
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
We obtained details of each material property held by the Group and set an expected range for yield and capital value movement, determined by reference to published benchmarks and using our experience and knowledge of the market, including the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. We compared investment yields used by the valuers with the range of expected yields and the year on year capital movement to our expected range. We also considered the reasonableness of other assumptions that are not so readily comparable with published benchmarks, such as estimated rental value.
Where assumptions were outside the expected range or otherwise appeared unusual, and/or valuations showed unexpected movements, we undertook further investigations, and when necessary, held further discussions with management and the valuers and obtained evidence to support explanations received. The valuation commentaries provided by the valuers and other supporting evidence enabled us to consider the property specific factors that may have had an impact on value, including recent comparable transactions where appropriate.
We performed testing on the standing data the Group provided to the valuers for use in the performance of the valuation on a sample basis, to satisfy ourselves of the accuracy of the property information supplied by management. For land bank assets we confirmed that the estimated costs to complete were consistent with the Group's records, for example by inspecting budgets and contracts.
The above procedures were also performed on investment property held by the equity-accounted investee.
Based on the work performed we found that the assumptions used in the valuations were supportable by the evidence obtained.
We also considered the adequacy of the disclosures made in Note 4.2 "Investment property held for sale", Note 12 "Investment property", Note 13 "Investment in equity-accounted investee" and Note 24 "Critical accounting estimates, judgements and errors" to the financial statements and consider these to be adequate.
Impact of coronavirus
Refer to Note 2 "Going concern and impact of coronavirus pandemic".
The coronavirus outbreak continues to have a major impact on economic activity in the Group's countries of operation.
In order to assess the impact of coronavirus on the Group, management have updated their analysis of the potential impact on revenues, profits, cash flows, operations and the liquidity position of the Group. This analysis and related assumptions have been used by management in its assessment of the carrying value of several balances, as well as underpinning the Group's going concern analysis.
After considering all of these factors, management have concluded that preparing the financial statements on a going concern basis remains appropriate. No material uncertainty in relation to going concern exists.
The most significant impact to the financial statements has been in relation to the valuation of investment property and investment property held for sale. This is described in the key audit matter on valuation of investment property and investment property held for sale above.
In addition, the recognition of spreading of rental concessions given to tenants as a result of coronavirus as well as impairments recorded in respect of trade receivables from lessees has warranted additional audit focus due to their non-standard nature.
We evaluated the Group's analysis and considered whether it addresses the relevant threats posed by the coronavirus pandemic. We corroborated evidence of the operational impacts, considering their consistency with other available information and our understanding of the business.
In respect of going concern, we assessed the directors' going concern analysis, liquidity analysis and the key assumptions used in preparing the going concern model in light of coronavirus, including assessing covenant headroom, the potential impact of another wave of coronavirus and the maximum level of available drawdowns on the Group's preference share commitments.
Our procedures in respect of the valuation of investment property held either directly or indirectly through the equity-accounted investee and investment property held for sale are set out in the key audit matter on valuation of investment property and investment property held for sale.
We used substantive testing procedures to ensure that a sample of rental concessions offered to tenants had been correctly accounted for within the requirements of IFRS 16 "Leases" and IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments". We assessed the recoverability of trade receivables from lessees by evaluating the financial viability of the major tenants and ensured allowances for expected credit losses are accounted for within the requirements of IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments".
We considered the disclosures presented in the financial statements in relation to the impact of coronavirus and consider these to be adequate.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the directors' commentary and the statement of directors' responsibilities (but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon), which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, and the other information to be included in the Annual Report, which is expected to be made available to us after that date.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. When we read the other information to be included in the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors.
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements
The directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The directors are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for the Company's shareholders as a body in accordance with our engagement letter dated 8 February 2021 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this opinion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Going concern and impact of coronavirus pandemic
Background
During the previous financial year, ended 30 June 2020, the World Health Organisation had declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic, the impact of which has continued throughout the reported financial year. Responding to the potentially serious threat the coronavirus presented to public health, government authorities in all jurisdictions where the Group operates took measures to contain the outbreak, including introducing restrictions on the cross-border movement of people, entry restrictions on foreign visitors and the 'lockdown' of certain industries. In particular, transport of people by air and road to and from certain countries affected by the coronavirus outbreaks had been suspended, schools, universities, restaurants, cinemas, theatres and museums and sport facilities, retailers (excluding food retailers, grocery stores and pharmacies) were closed. Some businesses had also instructed employees to remain at home and have curtailed or temporarily suspended business operations.
The Group has prepared for the impact of predicted longer-term recessionary consequences, which potentially include a prolonged reduction in consumption, as well as new investment and development opportunities that may emerge as a result.
Operations
MAS' primary business is the investment in, and operation of, retail assets in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), particularly in Romania, Bulgaria, and Poland. The Group also owns retail assets held for sale in Germany and hospitality, retail, office and development land in the UK (hereafter, the latter two countries are referred to as Western Europe or WE). The Group benefits from retail and residential development exposure, on a downside protected basis, via the Development Joint Venture ('DJV') with Prime Kapital.
At the beginning of the pandemic, authorities in all jurisdictions where the Group operates have introduced pandemic regulatory restrictions, which have resulted in the closure of all non-essential retail property and hospitality operations for different periods depending on jurisdiction. Typically, initial closures commenced in March 2020 and remained in full effect until mid-May 2020. This had a direct initial impact on the financial health of the Group's retail and hotel tenants, for financial years ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2021.
By July 2020, most Covid-19 related trading restrictions were lifted and the majority of Group's CEE tenants could trade with limited restrictions until the end of October 2020.
In Romania, a patchwork of lighter regional restrictions was introduced during November, varying from limiting trading capacity to closing non-essential retailers on certain days. Notable exceptions were Romanian indoor food and beverage and leisure tenants. The former were limited to takeaway and delivery trading from 15 June 2020 to 31 August 2020, and 15 October 2020 to 31 December 2020, and subject to regional seating capacity restrictions from 1 September 2020 to 14 October 2020. Leisure tenants, except cinemas from 1 September 2020 to 24 October 2020, were not permitted to trade. During the six-month period ended 30 June 2020, Romania was affected by closures and restrictions, the latter only in respect of indoor food and beverage and leisure tenants. Leisure operators were allowed to trade, with capacity restrictions being gradually lifted between mid-May and the beginning of June 2021, while indoor food and beverage tenants have traded with varying restrictions on seating for the entire period up to the date of this report.
Bulgarian authorities closed non-essential retail during the last week of November 2020 reopening on 1 February 2021 and re-introduced closures from 18 March 2021 to 15 April 2021.
Polish authorities closed non-essential retail for three weeks in November 2020, permitted reopening on 28 November and closed again on 28 December up to 1 February 2021, with additional closures of non-essential retail from 15 March 2021 to 3 May 2021.
Excepting Polish indoor food and beverage and leisure tenants being subject to seating capacity limitations, Polish and Bulgarian non-essential retailers restrictions were lifted and no additional constraints were imposed up to date of this report.
In CEE, the Group's operational performance for the second half of the financial year reflected a strong recovery of tenants' sales as authorities have gradually lifted restrictions as a consequence of the European Union's vaccination rollouts and decrease of Covid-19 infection rates. Even though imposed restrictions predominantly affected indoor food and beverage operators and leisure tenants in CEE, and non-essential tenants in Bulgaria and Poland during the months January, March and April 2021, tenants' sales levels have since recovered, and consistently exceeded pre-pandemic levels in respect of open-air malls. The Group's operations in Poland, albeit limited to one enclosed mall, have been further negatively impacted by Polish authorities imposing landlords waivers of rental obligations for the lockdown periods. Despite the overall positive result over the period, the Group continued supporting tenants in difficulty, especially smaller retailers and leisure tenants.
The Scottish Government imposed a hard lockdown on 22 December 2020 and implemented a phased reopening plan. Consequently, hospitality and non-essential retail have been subject to significant restrictions up until 26 April 2021, which affected the Adagio Hotel and Arches street retail units' operations. Western European operations, have continued to be significantly affected by restrictions. At Flensburg Galerie (Germany), authorities first introduced restrictions in November 2020, which have been hardened from 16 December 2020 to 17 March 2021, and subsequently relaxed to capacity restrictions for indoor food and beverage operators only, which remained in place until 26 July 2021.
CEE
Temporary closures had an immediate initial impact on collections from non-essential tenants and from tenants which had interrupted operations.
In Romania and Bulgaria, the Group offered tenants rental holidays for the duration of the initial lockdown periods in exchange for measures to be negotiated tenant-by-tenant, and additionally, on a case-by-case basis and dependent on sales, partial rent deferrals for the months following the initial lockdown. Due to several lockdowns and strict restrictions in Poland, the Group recognised additional receivables impairment in line with changes to local legislation announced by the Polish authorities. The result of the restrictions and lockdowns was an impairment of receivables of €6.1 million for the year ended 30 June 2021 (€4.8 million in the year ended 30 June 2020). Refer to note 5 for further details on the revenue recognition in the context of the coronavirus pandemic.

WE
In WE a significant part of rental income generated by properties held for sale related to essential retail tenants, and other tenants with operations unaffected by the pandemic and related restrictions. The Group recovered most rental income and service charges due in respect of the WE assets and managed to dispose of a significant part of the portfolio in Germany and UK, as discussed in note 4. For amounts deemed not recoverable, mostly from retail operations of one remaining property held for sale in Germany, an impairment of €0.3 million (30 June 2020: €0.8 million) was recognised, see note 5.
Developments, extensions and refurbishments
Planned extensions to directly owned properties Militari Shopping, Galleria Burgas and Nova Park remain on hold and will be re-assessed during the second half of 2021 (calendar year). Refurbishment of Galleria Stara Zagora has been completed during the financial year and the refurbishment and reconfiguration of Atrium Mall is ongoing and expected to be completed in September 2021.
DJV's retail development pipeline planning has been adjusted to take cognisance of the strong performances of anchor tenants in open-air malls from July to December 2020 and at Dambovita Mall since opening, the expectation that consumer spending will recover to pre-pandemic levels by mid-2022 (calendar year), and that a vaccine will be widely available in the second half of 2021 (calendar year) enabling consumer behaviour in the Group's markets to begin returning to normal.
Sepsi Value Centre opened as planned in March 2021, while construction for Barlad and Prahova (Ploiesti) Value Centres started, as scheduled during April 2021 and are expected to open in November 2021. Construction on Marmura Residence, the DJV's first residential development in Bucharest, continues and it is expected that construction works on four of the five buildings will be completed by December 2021, with construction works on the fifth by June 2022. Phase one works on Avalon Estate, commenced in November 2020 and is expected to be delivered gradually from December 2021 until completion in June 2022.
Bank debt, bonds and liquidity
The Group issued in May 2021, a €300 million unsecured, 5-year Eurobond maturing on 19 May 2026, carrying a 4.25% fixed coupon, with an issue price of 98.903%. The Group partially used the proceeds to refinance Eligible Projects in accordance with the Group's Green Financing Framework, repaying bank loans secured against investment properties in the CEE region, the remaining cash being held with high rated investment grade banks at 30 June 2021. The Group's secured debt significantly decreased following disposal of WE assets.
On 30 June 2021, the Group's ratios demonstrated significant headroom compared to bond covenant tolerances, on both IFRS and proportionate consolidation bases, as disclosed in note 18.1.
The Group held €287.1 million in cash at 30 June 2021 and a further €33.6 million in listed securities. The Group is in a strong position to meet day-to-day financial obligations, including commitments to the DJV. On 30 June 2021, the Group had an outstanding commitment to the DJV of €186.7 million. During the financial year ended 30 June 2021, DJV issued preference shares to the Group amounting to €54.6 million.
Dividend
Due to Covid-19, the Company declined to declare an interim dividend. The Group stated that the Company will consider resuming dividend payments when the pandemic is effectively over, business is sufficiently profitable and depending on the attractiveness of investment opportunities. However, the business has returned to significant profitability, the Company has managed to effectively deal with the Covid-19 fallout in its markets and benefits from substantial liquidity. Thus, the Company achieved 5.93 eurocents distributable earnings per share in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2021, and the Company has consequently declared a cash dividend of 5.93 eurocents per share for the twelve months ending then.
Going concern
Management prepared these consolidated annual financial statements on a going concern basis. Based on the publicly available information at the date these consolidated annual financial statements were authorised for issue, the Group has considered and further analysed the potential development of the coronavirus pandemic and its expected impact on the Group's revenues, profits, cash flows, operations and liquidity position and economic environment, in which the Group operates, including measures already taken by the governments in the countries where the Group operates. Having considered potential Covid-19 disruptions not expected to lead to negative operational cash flows in the short term and having analysed the potential impact on the Group's operations and long-term strategy and earnings targets, management concluded that there are no material uncertainties relating to Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
- Segmental analysis – proportionate accounts
Segment results reported to the executive management team include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.
The Group's reportable segments are designed so that management can analyse the portfolio on a regional level, consistent with the Group's strategy to increase its geographical focus in the CEE markets. The Group prepares proportionate accounts for the use of investors, analysts, rating agencies and any other interested parties for the purpose of providing a transparent view of how management determines the Group's operational performance and financial position. The measure of segment performance represents tangible net asset value per segment and adjusted distributable earnings per segment, with each segment detailed in the table below.
The Group's business is more complex when compared to other industry peers due to the development joint venture arrangement with Prime Kapital. Presentation of financial information by using the proportionate consolidation method enhances clarity to interested parties in the Group's operations.
| Reportable segment | Description |
|---|---|
| CEE direct portfolio (CEE) | Income properties located in CEE fully owned and managed by the Group. Until 27 November 2019, these properties were housed in the IJV and consequently the company recognised 80% of the financial result in respect thereof. Following the Transaction (as described in notes 14 and 20), the Group accounts for 100% of these properties. |
| CEE development joint venture (DJV) | Income and development properties located in CEE, indirectly owned through the DJV with Prime Kapital. Information presented represents the Group's 40% share in the joint venture. In addition, the segment includes other balances and transactions in relation to the DJV, including 60% of the preference share exposure (40% of the redemption value and income related to preference shares is eliminated on proportionate consolidation). |
| WE direct portfolio (WE) | Income properties located in WE (Germany, UK, Switzerland) fully owned by the Group. The Switzerland property located in Zurich, as well as part of the properties in UK and Germany were part of disposals during the period, please see note 4. |
| Corporate (Co) | Other assets, liabilities and activities related to the Group's management, including investments in listed securities, Group level financing, as well as corporate level administration. |
All amounts in € thousand unless otherwise stated.

Consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
Management analyses the performance and position of the Group by aggregating the Group's operations into the four reportable segments. These reportable segments have different risk profiles and generate revenue/income from different sources. Accordingly, it allows the executive management team to make better informed strategic decisions for the Group.
Segmental analysis basis for preparation – proportionate accounts
The Group's management accounts financial information is not intended to be a replacement of the Group's IFRS financial statements but a complement to these.
In considering the accounting policies for the management accounts, management analysed in-depth best practice recommendations by industry institutions (EPRA, SA REIT) and the main changes in presentation IFRS versus Segmental analysis are as follows:
| Presentation | IFRS | Segmental analysis – proportionate accounts |
|---|---|---|
| Joint ventures and non-controlling interests | Equity accounting | Proportionate accounting |
| Statement of profit or loss | Aggregation based on function (presented as continuing and discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5) | Aggregation based on nature* |
| Properties held for sale | Current assets | Investment property based on type |
| Statement of financial position – line descriptions | Aggregation with limited details (explanatory notes needed for clarity) | Comprehensive detail with limited aggregation |
| Statement of financial position – classification by current/non-current | Yes | No |
| Statement of financial position – equity | Classification by type | Total equity amount |
*Proportionate accounts have been adjusted to reflect investment expenses of €412 thousand, incurred by corporate entities servicing multiple WE subsidiaries, mainly relating to legal fees attributable to disposal of the WE assets and to reflect fair value of income property netted off by gain/(loss) from disposal of assets and debt break fees incurred at the disposal of the respective assets.
Proportionate accounts have been prepared to reflect the Group's proportion of its 40% interest in the DJV and 80% interest in the IJV until the Transaction date, and 100% thereafter.
Presentation of the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the purpose of proportionate accounts reflects the main areas of the business whose operational performance is monitored by management, in respect of distributable earnings to shareholders as well as non-distributable earnings. Management monitors earnings generated by each area of the business and its impact on the total adjusted earnings for each segment.
Presentation of the consolidated statement of financial position has been disaggregated in a similar manner, so as to clarify the assets and liabilities generating the corresponding earnings for each main area of the business comprehensively. As such, for a more comprehensive review process by management, the following line items have been presented differently as compared to IFRS so as to more clearly show elements included in each category as followed by management:
- Investment property and investment property held for sale have been disaggregated to show income property, developments – income property and developments – residential property.
- Financial assets and investments have been disaggregated to show Preference shares, Listed securities gross exposure, Interest rate derivative financial assets and Other assets.
- Trade and other receivables have been split to VAT receivable, Share-based payment prepayments and Trade and other receivables.
- Debt financing has been grossed-up to include the funding leg related to listed securities investments held in the form of CFDs (see note 17.1).
- Financial liabilities have been split to Interest rate derivative financial liabilities and Other liabilities.
Segment adjusted proportionate accounts
In addition to segmental proportionate accounts, management presents a set of segment-adjusted proportionate accounts. The latter include adjustments typical for real estate companies described in more detail below.
- Net dividends - listed securities
Dividends from listed securities are recognised in adjusted distributable earnings on a basis which is commensurate and matching the holding period of the securities with the reporting period of the company. Consequently, any excess or shortfall in dividends received is reclassified "to" and, respectively, "from" non-distributable earnings (fair value movements in listed securities).
- Goodwill
No goodwill is included in adjusted proportionate accounts. Consequently, goodwill and related impairments are eliminated.
- Share-based payments
The allocation of part of the purchase price in a transaction settled in shares to share-based payments is an accounting treatment required under IFRS. Share-based payments related to the Transaction between MAS and Prime Kapital in November 2019 are reversed in adjusted proportionate accounts so that the entire Transaction purchase price is treated as being paid for Prime Kapital's effective economic interest in the IJV and all amounts exceeding the net tangible asset value thereof eliminated.
- Deferred tax
Deferred tax, which is unlikely to crystallise on disposal as an actual tax, a purchase price adjustment or any other cost.
- Estimation for WE disposal realisation costs and losses
Estimated costs likely to crystallise on disposal of the assets in WE, including punitive fixed-interest arrangements, early bank debt repayment penalties, agency fees and other related costs or losses. This includes the actual result on completed disposals of WE assets and actual investment expenses relating to disposal of the respective assets.
- Elimination of cross-shareholding between MAS and associate
Elimination of the proportionate part of the financial asset recognised by the associate representing MAS shares, at cost. Weighted number of shares for the period and Closing number of shares for proportionate accounting purposes are computed by elimination of MAS' 40% share of own shares acquired by the associate.
A reconciliation of the amounts reported in these consolidated annual financial statements to the proportionate accounts is presented in note 27.
All amounts in € thousand unless otherwise stated.

4. Investment property held for sale and discontinued operations
During 2019 the Group announced its intention to dispose of part of the WE portfolio during the medium term. Management committed at that time to a plan to sell a limited number of properties included in this segment. For properties identified for disposal at the year ended 30 June 2020, the Group assessed whether the properties met the classification criteria for recognition as held for sale and, as a consequence, excluded from investment property.
Subsequently, the Group reaffirmed its strategic priority to dispose of Western European property, and during the twelve-month period ended 30 June 2021, a comprehensive process to dispose of all properties owned in Germany, UK and Switzerland was put in place and executed as planned. As the properties represent the entire WE portfolio segment, the plan involves the disposal of a significant business segment, identified as such as part of the Group's segmental reporting. Consequently, the Group assessed the properties representing the entire WE portfolio, and concluded these meet the classification criteria for recognition as held for sale and discontinued operations.
Accounting for Investment Property held for Sale
Properties identified for disposal at 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020, that met the criteria for classification as held for sale, were presented in the consolidated financial statements as investment properties held for sale at fair value, as the properties were actively marketed and for which it was probable that the sale transactions would occur in the following twelve months from the periods then ended.
This judgement is based on criteria outlined in IFRS 5 which states that the assets should be classified as held for sale and excluded from investment property, if management assesses that the properties are actively marketed, part of a committed plan to sell and an active programme is in place to locate buyers.
Accounting for discontinued operations
Key judgements were made in respect of the WE portfolio as at 30 June 2021, which resulted in the segment meeting the criteria for classification as held for sale and disposal of a significant business segment. Therefore, in accordance with IFRS 5, the entire segment has been treated as a discontinued operation and the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the current and comparative periods separately discloses discontinued operations from the rest of the business.
The results of the WE portfolio for the current and prior periods were removed on a line by line basis from the consolidated statement of profit or loss and the result of the segment was recognised as a single financial statement line item named 'Profit from discontinued operations, net of tax' in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, with further detail provided below.
At 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020, the Group recognised as held for sale assets actively marketed for which IFRS 5 criteria was met. Properties within the WE segment classified as held for sale are carried at fair value determined by external valuers, as this measurement has been assessed as the most appropriate in accordance with IFRS 5.
Furthermore, the strategic plan involves disposing of assets mostly as asset deals with purchasers, and repayment of bank borrowings secured against the respective investment properties.
During the year ended 30 June 2021, the Group concluded several contracts with purchasers, completed sale processes for several properties and signed a sale purchase agreement ('SPA') for New Uberior House, as detailed below.

For disclosures on disaggregation of the Net rental income by segment, refer to note 3.
As disclosed above in note 2, the coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact in the net rental income of the Group for the duration of the initial lockdown periods (which generally extended between March and June 2020 in CEE, March and May 2020 in Germany and March and August 2020 in the UK). Additional lockdown measures were taken by Polish authorities closing non-essential tenants for three weeks in November 2020, permitted reopening on 28 November and closed again on 28 December up to 1 February 2021. Subsequently, the CEE being hit by another significant pandemic wave, Polish authorities deciding to close non-essential retail from 15 March 2021 to 3 May 2021. Bulgarian authorities closed non-essential retail during the last week of November 2020 reopening on 1 February 2021 and re-introduced closures from 18 March 2021 to 15 April 2021. Excepting Polish indoor food and beverage and leisure tenants being subject to seating capacity limitations, Polish and Bulgarian non-essential retailers restrictions were lifted and no additional constraints were imposed up to date of this report.
Impairments of receivables were recognised as an effect of the lockdowns and other economic consequences caused by the coronavirus pandemic as the expected collectability from the Group's tenants was significantly impacted.
The Group applied the principles of IFRS 16 for revenue recognition in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, as gross rental income and gross service charge income were recognised in full for the lockdown periods, while without qualifying as a lease modification, rent forgiveness was granted to tenants. The forgiveness has been recognised as a loss in the statement of profit or loss, as an impairment of receivables, with a corresponding reduction to the lease receivable in the period in which the reduction is agreed.
All amounts charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss as described above were treated as receivables impairment, see notes 5.1 and 5.2 below. The impairment amounts split by region and by type (waived amounts and additional specific provisions) is presented below:
| At 30 June 2021 | Waived | Additional provision | Total impairment of receivables |

5.1. Rental income
Accounting policy
Rental income from investment properties subject to operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are recognised as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.
Tenant lease incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The term of the lease is the non-cancellable period together with any further term for which the tenant has the option to continue the lease, where, at the inception of the lease, there is reasonable certainty that the tenant will exercise that option.
Turnover rent represents the portion of the Group's rental income related to variable lease payments. Turnover rent is contingent on the underlying performance of the tenant, as such it is recognised as incurred.

5.2. Service charge
Accounting policy
Service charge income and other recoveries
The Group has lease agreements in terms of which costs relating to common areas and general services are shared amongst tenants. The costs that can be recharged are specified in the lease agreements and are separately invoiced and represent distinct non-lease components.
As specified in the lease agreements, the Group typically has the primary responsibility for providing services to tenants (such as electricity, water and gas utilities, interior and exterior cleaning, security, maintenance and repairs). These contracts are concluded between the Group subsidiaries which own the properties and the direct supplier.
As the Group sometimes uses the same providers for services across its portfolio, it can negotiate better prices through economies of scale. The Group is considered principal in these transactions, per IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' requirements.
The Group negotiates and pays all expenses incurred by the tenants and then re-invoices these costs to them as defined in the contractual clauses included in the lease agreements. A flat fee is charged monthly during the year. This fee is estimated based on the previous year's actual costs, with an annual service charge reconciliation performed based on current year's actual costs incurred by the Group. For contracts terminated during the year, the Group estimates the service charge to be collected based on the current budget and last year's actual costs.
The Group has elected to apply the practical expedient in paragraph 121 of IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations for contracts in which the Group has a right to consideration from tenants in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the tenant of the Group's performance completed to date.
Service charge and other property operating expenses
Service charge and other property operating expenses are expenses incurred in relation to the properties held by the Group. These expenses comprise of direct expenses in relation to income-generating properties and are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred, on an accrual basis.
Employee costs which relate to the operating of investment properties are included in property operating expenses to the extent that they relate to income-generating properties. They are capitalised where they relate to development properties.

11. Taxation
Accounting policy
Income tax for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the reporting period plus/minus any adjustments to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates at the reporting date.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position in the countries where the Group operates. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation, and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities can be offset if, and only if, the entity has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the fiscal values used for tax purposes, except for the following temporary differences which are not provided for:
- those arising from goodwill not deductible for tax purposes;
- those arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting or taxable profit, and are not part of a business combination; and
- those arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates where the timing of the reversal can be controlled, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated annual financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the date of the consolidated statement of financial position and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
The carrying value of the Group's investment property is assumed to be realised by sale at the end of use. The capital gains tax rate applied is that which would apply on a direct sale of the property recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position regardless of whether the Group would structure the sale via the disposal of the subsidiary holding the asset, to which a different tax rate may apply. The deferred tax is then calculated based on the respective temporary differences and tax consequences arising from recovery through sale.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity. The Group recognises deferred taxes on temporary differences on an asset by asset basis. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. For purposes of calculating deferred tax on investment property there is a rebuttable presumption that the carrying amount is realised through sale.
MAS is registered in the BVI but it is not subject to income tax in that jurisdiction as it is tax resident in the Isle of Man. Operating subsidiaries of the Group, however, are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate and, potentially, in the jurisdictions through which the subsidiary investment companies are held. The current tax expense incurred by the Group reflects tax accrued in its subsidiaries located in Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, Jersey and the Isle of Man.
Output Value Added Tax (VAT) related to sales is payable to tax authorities on either the collection of receivables from customers or the delivery of services to customers depending on which occurs first. Input VAT is generally recoverable against output VAT upon receipt of the invoice. The tax authorities in individual countries permit the settlement of VAT on a net basis. VAT relating to sales and purchases is recognised in the statement of financial position on a net basis and is disclosed separately as an asset or liability, as the case may be. Where provision has been made for impairment of receivables, the loss is recorded for the gross amount of the debt, including VAT.

Consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
There has been no change in the applicable tax rates in the Group's jurisdictions. The primary reason for the increase in the effective tax rate from (20.2)% for the year ended 30 June 2020 to 10.9% for the year ended 30 June 2021 is a result of the following:
- changes in the geographical mix of taxable profits;
- effect of losses without effective tax impact from subsidiaries reporting losses for the year;
- increase in non-taxable income in respect of discontinued operations, and
- profit before tax in the current financial year compared to prior financial year losses.
12. Investment property
12.1. Investment property
Accounting policy
1) Investment property – initial recognition and measurement
The Group's investment property is comprised of:
- Income property
- Development property
- Land bank
- Investment property held for sale
Income property
Income properties are held to earn rental income, for capital appreciation or for both.
Income property is initially recognised at cost. The cost of income property acquired by any other means than a business combination consists of the purchase price (including related transaction costs) and directly attributable expenditure. Transaction costs include transfer taxes, professional fees for legal services and initial leasing commissions to bring the property to the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating.
Subsequent expenditure relating to income property is capitalised when future economic benefits from the use of the asset are probable and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other subsequent expenditure is recognised as an expense during the period it is incurred.
After initial recognition, income properties are measured at fair value.
Development property and land bank
Property that is being constructed or developed for future use as income property is classified as development property and carried at cost until construction or development is complete, or until its fair value can be reliably determined.
The land on which development properties are constructed is carried at fair value.
Advances for developments are generally for land bank or other properties; these are generally subject to pre-conditions to be met by the seller. They are presented as part of development property in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Land bank refers to land plots held for future development. Land bank is initially recognised at cost. The cost of land bank acquired by any other means than a business combination consists of the purchase price (including related transaction costs) and directly attributable expenditure. Transaction costs include transfer taxes, professional fees for legal services etc. After initial recognition, land bank properties are measured at fair value.
Investment property held for sale
An investment property is classified as held for sale when it is expected that its carrying amount will be recovered principally through sale rather than from continuing use.
For this to be the case, the property must be available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such property and its sale must be highly probable.
For the sale to be highly probable:
- The Board must be committed to a plan to sell the property and an active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan must have been initiated.
- The property must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value.
- Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that the plan will be significantly changed or withdrawn.
- The sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
The measurement requirements of IFRS 5 – 'Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations', do not apply to investment property, as such investment property continues to be measured at fair value once transferred to investment property held for sale.
Inventory property
Property acquired or being constructed for sale in the ordinary course of business, rather than to be held for rental or capital appreciation, is held as inventory property and is measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value ("NRV").
Cost includes:
- Freehold and leasehold rights for land;
- Amounts paid to contractors for construction;
- Borrowing costs, planning and design costs, costs of site preparation, professional fees for legal services, property transfer taxes, construction overheads and other related costs.
NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of the business, based on market prices at the reporting date less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale, considering the time value of money if material.
All amounts in € thousand unless otherwise stated.
MAS Real Estate Inc.
Consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
The cost of inventory property recognised on disposal in the consolidated statement of profit or loss is determined with reference to the specific costs incurred on the property sold and an allocation of any non-specific costs based on the relative size of the property sold.
Non-refundable commissions paid to sales or marketing agents on the sale of real estate units are expensed when paid.
Leasing fees
Leasing fees incurred before the property was operational are capitalised against the asset to which they relate. These are assumed to have contributed to the decision to build the property.
Borrowing costs capitalised
Interest-bearing borrowings are allocated to either specific or general borrowings. Specific or general borrowing costs are capitalised if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale. These are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Interest is capitalised from the commencement of the development work until the date of practical completion, i.e., when substantially all the development work is completed. The capitalisation of interest is suspended if there are prolonged periods when development activity is interrupted. Interest is also capitalised on the purchase cost of a site of property acquired specifically for redevelopment, but only where activities necessary to prepare the asset for redevelopment are in progress.
2) Investment property – measurement of fair values
Valuation process for level 3 investment property
Fair value of investment property is determined semi-annually, on 30 June and 31 December, by external, independent professional valuers, with appropriate and recognised qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of property being valued. For details of the respective valuers used by the Group in its valuation process at 30 June 2021, refer to page 141. For all investment properties their current values equate to the highest and best use.
Fair value hierarchy
The fair value measurement of all the Group's investment properties has been categorised as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy based upon the significant unobservable inputs into the valuation techniques used.
Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs
Discounted cash flows (DCF) method:
The valuation model considers the present value of net cash flows to be generated from the property, taking into account expected rental growth rates, void periods, occupancy rates, lease incentive costs such as rent-free periods and other costs not paid by tenants. The expected net cash flows are discounted using risk-adjusted discount rates. Among other factors, the discount rate estimation considers the quality of a building and its location, tenant credit quality and lease terms.
Unobservable inputs used in the DCF valuation model are risk adjusted discount rates, net rental income, net rental income growth, unrecoverable capital expenditures etc. The most significant inputs are considered to be the net rental income and the valuation yield; the estimated fair value would increase/(decrease) if the expected net rental income was higher/(lower) and/or the yield was lower/(higher).
Capitalisation method:
The valuation model considers the value of the property based on actual location, size and quality of the property taking into account market data and the capitalisation rate of future income streams at the valuation date. Significant unobservable inputs used in the capitalisation rate model are the capitalisation rate and the estimated rental value. The estimated fair value would increase/(decrease) if either the yield was lower/(higher) or if the estimated market rent were higher/(lower).
Residual method:
The valuation model considers the gross development value of the property based on an independent view of market values for the completed development less any build costs. The method starts with an estimation of the value of the completed development, normally referred to as the Gross Development Value (GDV). Thereafter, various costs to complete the development are deducted (including construction costs, professional fees, marketing fees/costs, finance, etc. together with developer's profit); to arrive at a 'residual' site value, which is the price which a developer could afford to pay for the land (and still generate their target profit level). Significant unobservable inputs used in the residual method are the gross development value and the profit on GDV. The estimated fair value would increase/(decrease) if the GDV were higher/(lower) or if the target profit was lower/(higher).
Purchase price:
The valuation model takes into account the recent acquisition price, which equals the amount a third party would be willing to pay. Significant unobservable inputs used in the purchase price method represents the purchase price for the property. The estimated fair value would increase/(decrease) if the number of the interested parties were higher/(lower) or if the availability of comparable properties were lower/(higher), thus altering the acquisition price.
Firm offers less costs to complete:
Fair value is based on the amount a third party is willing to pay less any costs to complete. Significant unobservable inputs used in the firm offers less costs to complete method are the firm offer and costs to complete (excluding transaction costs). The estimated fair value would increase/(decrease) if the number of the interested parties were higher/(lower) and/or, the availability of comparable properties lower/(higher), thus altering the offer price, or the budgeted costs to complete was lower/(higher) and/or, the residential unit price was higher/(lower).
Changes to valuation methods used
There were no changes to valuation methods used in the year ended 30 June 2021 compared to the previous year.

12.2. Valuation sensitivity analysis
Significant inputs and coronavirus impact
At 30 June 2020, the general risk environment in which the Group operates had heightened in the three months prior to the reporting date, largely due to the coronavirus outbreak. For some of the Group's properties, the outbreak had a significant impact on valuations. As at 30 June 2020, the external valuers considered that they could attach less weight to previous market evidence for comparison purposes, to inform opinions of value. The response to the outbreak meant that external valuers were faced with an unprecedented set of circumstances on which to base a judgement. The valuations across all asset classes were therefore reported on the basis of a "material valuation uncertainty" as per VPS 3 and VPGA 10 of the RICS Red Book Global. Consequently, less certainty – and a higher degree of caution – would have been attached to the valuations provided than would normally be the case. The external valuers have confirmed that the inclusion of the "material valuation uncertainty" declaration did not mean that valuations could not be relied upon. Rather, the phrase was used in order to be clear and transparent with all parties, in a professional manner that – in the extraordinary circumstances – less certainty could have been attached to valuations than would otherwise be the case.
The external valuers considered that by the end of 2020 the real-estate market had recovered and sufficient market evidence existed by the reporting date. Consequently, the valuation reports for all the Group's properties were no longer prepared on the "material valuation uncertainty" basis.
The Group had reviewed the ranges used in assessing the impact of changes in unobservable inputs on the fair value of the Group's property portfolio. There has been no change in valuation methodology used for investment property since coronavirus outbreak. Whilst the property valuations reflect the external valuers' assessment, the Group considered +/-5% for Net Rental Income and +/-0.5% for NRI/BV appropriate to capture the current market conditions in these key valuation assumptions. The results of this analysis are detailed in the sensitivity tables below.

13. Investment in equity-accounted investee
Accounting policy
Equity-accounted investee comprise investments in associates. Associates are entities in which the Group has significant influence, which is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but does not result in control or joint control of those entities.
Interests in associates are initially recognised at cost including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are accounted for using the equity method. The Group recognises its share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate from the date on which significant influence commences, until the date on which significant influence ceases. Distributions received from the associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
The Group's share of interest charged by the Group to the associate and capitalised against qualifying assets that are carried at cost (i.e. not subsequently measured at fair value) in the equity accounted investee is eliminated by deducting it from its share of earnings in the equity accounted investee.
Unrealised losses on transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
When the Group's share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of the investment, including any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
The part of the financial asset recognised by the associate being MAS shares, representing cross-shareholdings are eliminated.
Interests in associates are assessed for impairment if there is an impairment indicator. An impairment loss in respect of an equity accounted investee is measured by comparing the recoverable amount of the investment with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss and is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

Acquisition of MAS shares by PKM Development and dealings in securities by an associate of Directors of MAS
Given the predicted longer-term recessionary consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, the DJV has put on hold and is reconsidering the development opportunities previously reported and is positioning for new investment opportunities that may emerge in due course. Investments in listed securities, including MAS' ordinary shares, that could be disposed of to fund developments or other investment opportunities when appropriate, form part of this strategy.
During the financial year ended 30 June 2021, PKM Development has further acquired 41,004,838 MAS shares, bringing its holding to 70,998,476 (30 June 2020: 29,993,638) MAS shares, with a total value of €75,876 thousand at 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: €20,209 thousand); the weighted average price per security of shares purchased during the financial year was of €0.689 at 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: €0.665). On consolidation, the 40% proportion of MAS shares are adjusted to their original cost of €19,570 thousand (30 June 2020: €7,973 thousand) so that no gains or losses are recognised on these assets within Share of profit from equity-accounted investee, net of tax. The purchases were conducted on-market on the JSE Limited or via off-market block trades, as announced by the Company. As a result of these transactions Martin Slabbert and Victor Semionov have indirect beneficial interests in the MAS ordinary shares acquired by PKM Development.
14. Intangible assets
Accounting policy
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken at each reporting date or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest groups of assets that generate cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other cash generating units ("CGUs"). Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount of the CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on estimated future cash flows, discounted to the present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to CGU.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of the CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.

Property Management Platform ("PMP")
In November 2016 the Group entered into a joint venture with Prime Kapital Holdings Limited through PKM CEE Investments Limited, in which Prime Kapital's effective economic interest was equivalent to 20% direct participation in the joint venture less the interest cost on the participation funding that is provided by the Group. Under the terms of the joint venture, Prime Kapital provided property investment and management services to the venture on a cost recovery basis. The property investment and management services were provided by three entities, PK Property Management (Bulgaria) EOOD (the "Bulgarian Property Management Platform"); PK Property Management (Poland) sp zoo (the "Polish Property Management Platform"); and Prime Kapital Development S.R.L. (the "Romanian Property Management Platform"), (together the "Property Management Platform").
On 27 November 2019, with shareholder approval, the Group acquired the Property Management Platform and Prime Kapital's effective economic interest in the joint venture through the acquisition of the entire share capital of PK Mezz BV and Prime Kapital CEE Property Investment Management Limited (the "Transaction").
The acquisition was part of the Group's strategy of continued investment into CEE to enhance the Group's distributions over the immediate, medium and long-term.
On the referenced date, the Group acquired the Romanian, Bulgarian and Polish property management platform. The acquisition resulted in recognition of goodwill. An impairment test was performed at 30 June 2021, in accordance with the Group's accounting policies, as a result of which no impairment charge arose.
Spark portfolio
On 28 February 2019, the Group acquired 9 properties from PKM Development through the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of the legal entities holding the properties. The acquisitions (collectively referred to as the "Spark portfolio") have all been treated as business combinations as the Group acquired substantially all of the business operations of the entities. Goodwill arose on the acquisition due to the recognition of deferred tax liabilities at the carrying amount as determined by IAS 12 Income Taxes, rather than fair value. IFRS does not permit the deferred tax liabilities to be discounted, which creates a mismatch between the recognition of the consideration at fair value and the deferred tax liabilities at the carrying amount. This difference has been recognised as goodwill. The goodwill arising on the acquisition of the shopping centre portfolio has been allocated to the properties as individual cash generating units.
The Spark portfolio was considered a single Cash Generating Unit ("CGU"). The carrying amount of the CGU, which included goodwill, exceeded its recoverable amount by €6,826 thousand at 30 June 2020, accordingly the goodwill attributable to the CGU was impaired. An impairment test was performed at 30 June 2021, in accordance with the Group's accounting policies, as a result of which no impairment charge arose.
MAS Property Advisors Limited ("MAS Prop")
An impairment test was performed at 31 December 2019 as a result of the acquisition of the Property Management Platform. The Property Management Platform included a change in management to enact the Group's announced strategy to dispose of the Western European portfolio and reinvest in CEE, therefore with no intention to continue its use of the services provided by MAS Prop. Therefore, the acquisition of the platform represented an impairment indicator in respect of the goodwill attributable to MAS Prop. The discount rate used was 5.86% and the budgeted period was 4 years.
The carrying amount of the CGU, which included goodwill, exceeded its recoverable amount by €22,626 thousand, accordingly the goodwill attributable to the CGU has been fully impaired. The recoverable amount of the asset was deemed to be its value in use. In determining the recoverable amount, the Group expects that the income generated by the CGU would significantly decrease as the Western European portfolio is disposed in line with the Group's strategy.
15. Other non-current assets
Accounting policy
Other non-current assets include prepaid equity share-based payments, property, plant and equipment, computer and other licenses, guarantees received from property suppliers and lease incentives.
For the accounting policy regarding share-based payments, please see note 20.2.
Property, plant and equipment and computer and other licenses
Items of property, plant and equipment and computer and other licenses are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and is generally recognised in profit or loss. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:
- Computer and other licences: 1-3 years
- Office improvements: over the term of the underlying lease
- Office equipment: 2-6 years
- Equipment used in owner-managed activities: 3-20 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
The costs of minor repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred, while gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment or computer and other licences is recognised in profit or loss.
All amounts in € thousand unless otherwise stated.

Lease incentives
Lease incentives represent the non-recurring amount granted (in cash or as fit-out works) by the Group, to a new or an existing tenant, in connection with a new or renewed lease. Lease incentives are straight-lined over the lease term. The lease term corresponds to the contractual duration for the majority of the leases, except for the anchor tenants, for which the lease duration is assessed by the Group based on past experience and taking into account factors such as: GLA of the property where the anchor tenant is located, catchment area, dominance/competition in the catchment area or purchasing power.
Impairment of non-financial assets
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Non-financial assets, other than goodwill, that have suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
Other non-current assets include prepaid equity share-based payments, property, plant and equipment, computer and other licenses, guarantees received from property suppliers and lease incentives.

17. Financial assets
Accounting policy
Financial instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial instruments are recognised when the Group becomes party to the contractual terms of the instrument. They are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs, except for transaction costs attributable to financial instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Financial assets
The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at amortised cost and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at amortised cost only if both the following criteria are met:
- the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Interest is the consideration for the time value of money and credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding.
These financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost comprise receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans granted and the CFD collateral held as cash.
Impairment
The Group recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost; lease receivables and contract assets.
All amounts in € thousand unless otherwise stated.

Consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
For lease receivables, trade receivables and contract assets the Group applies the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses. Therefore, there is no need to monitor significant increases in credit risk and lifetime expected credit losses are recognised at all times.
For other financial assets such as PKM Development preference shares and capital contribution receivable, as well as undrawn PKM Development preference share commitments, 12-month expected credit losses are recognised where the financial asset is determined to have a low credit risk and for those financial instruments for which the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition the Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonably available and such as: financial position, historic and future operating performance, payment delays, covenant breaches and general economic and market conditions.
Lifetime expected credit losses are expected defaults over the expected life of the financial asset. 12 month expected credit losses are expected defaults within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months). The maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
Write-off
Financial assets are written-off, in whole or in part, when the Group has 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.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified as fair value through profit or loss if they do not meet either criteria for classification of a financial asset at amortised cost or if they are held for trading; derivative financial instruments; or financial assets designated as fair value. The Group initially recognises these financial assets at fair value at the trade date. These financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value and changes therein are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they occur.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset once when the contractual terms of the asset expire or the asset has been transferred, and the transfer of that asset is subsequently eligible for derecognition.
Financial investments
Financial investments held both directly and through contract for difference agreements are classified as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value measurement of all the Group's direct financial investments, have been categorised as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as they are traded in active markets and are measured at quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The contracts for difference are categorised as level 2. Fair value adjustments in relation to direct financial investments represent the full fair value movement of the direct financial investment portfolio, including fair value movements on purchases and disposals during the year.
Trade and other receivables
The Group's trade and other receivables include financial assets and non-financial assets. The non-financial assets include prepayments, lease incentive accrual and VAT.
Cash and cash equivalents
The group's cash and cash equivalents are financial instruments and are classified as financial assets at amortised cost.
17.1. Financial investments
Financial investments have been classified as fair value through profit or loss. Accordingly, they are measured at fair value at the reporting date with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. The Group's financial investments comprise:
| As at 30 June 2021 | As at 30 June 2020 | |

| 33,580 | 28,406 |
The Group's financial investments in listed real estate equity securities is used to manage liquidity, including to fund commitments to PKM Developments. At 30 June 2020, the Group had investments in the form of Contracts for Difference ("CFDs") held with a large investment banking company. The CFDs required the Group to maintain a minimum of 40% collateral on all CFD positions. On conversion the Group received cash, referred to as the 'on acquisition funding leg', equal to the difference between the initial collateral amount and the initial notional gross exposure of the CFD. The funding leg, including subsequent variable exposure movements, is recognised as an off-balance item. Variable exposure movements in the market value of the gross CFD positions resulted in the Group receiving or paying funds on a daily basis. Any dividends received on the CFD positions were paid directly to the Group, net of tax. During the financial year ended 30 June 2020, the Group had commenced restructuring its listed securities portfolio, by selling holdings in illiquid companies. During the year ended 30 June 2021, the Group disposed of its remaining financial investments held as CFDs.
The full notional exposure for all positions, are disclosed below.

PKM Development preference shares
The preference shares are held at amortised cost. The Group has performed an impairment assessment and considers that there has not been a significant increase in credit risk in relation to PKM Development, and that the expected credit loss is not significant (30 June 2020: not significant). To determine whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk, management has considered quantitative factors such as forecasted profits and actual profits, and qualitative factors such as progress of the development pipeline.
18. Financial liabilities
Accounting policy
The Group's financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes party to the contractual terms of the liability.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
All financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost unless they meet the criteria for classification as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost comprise bank borrowings and trade and other payables.
All amounts in € thousand unless otherwise stated.
MAS Real Estate Inc.
Consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss if they are: financial liabilities that are held for trading; derivative financial instruments; financial liabilities designated as fair value.
The Group initially recognises these financial liabilities at fair value at the trade date. These financial liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value and changes therein are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they occur.
The Group may elect to designate financial liabilities as financial liabilities at fair value that would otherwise meet the criteria to be classified as a financial liability at amortised cost, if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise if the financial liability were measured at amortised cost.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognises a financial liability when the contractual obligations of the liability are extinguished, for example when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Trade and other payables
The Group's trade and other payables include financial and non-financial liabilities. The non-financial liabilities include deferred income, provisions, current tax payable and VAT payable.
Bank loans and bonds (interest-bearing borrowings)
Borrowings are recognised initially at the fair value of the liability (determined using the prevailing market rate of interest if significantly different from the transaction price) and net of transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods, borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, using the effective interest method, unless they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, in which case they are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities, unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
In accordance with the IFRS 9, borrowings are removed from the consolidated statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is extinguished (i.e., discharged, cancelled or expires). The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
An exchange between the Group and its original lenders of debt instruments with substantially different terms, as well as substantial modifications of the terms and conditions of existing financial liabilities, are accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective interest rate, is at least 10% different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability. The Group considers also the qualitative factors when entering and monitoring in debt instruments contracts, such as monitoring credit ratings.
If an exchange of debt instruments or modification of terms is accounted for as an extinguishment, any costs or fees incurred are recognised as part of the gain or loss on the extinguishment. If the exchange or modification is not accounted for as an extinguishment, any costs or fees incurred adjust the carrying amount of the liability and are amortised over the remaining term of the modified liability.
Modifications of liabilities that do not result in extinguishment are accounted for as a change in estimate using a cumulative catch up method, with any gain or loss recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, unless the economic substance of the difference in carrying values is attributed to a capital transaction with owners and is recognised directly to equity.
Finance costs include interest and other costs that the Group incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds, including interest on borrowings, amortisation of discounts or transactions costs relating to borrowings, debt break fees and amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.

Interest rate swaps
The Group has hedged some of the interest rate exposure on bank loans using interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Accordingly, they are measured at fair value at the reporting date with changes in fair value being recognised in profit or loss. Hedge accounting under IFRS 9 has not been applied.
19. Classification, valuation and offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities
Accounting policy
The Group uses observable market data as far as it is available to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based upon the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:
- 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 or indirectly.
- Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
Where the inputs used in the valuation technique fall into more than one category in the fair value hierarchy, the asset or liability is categorised into the lowest level input that is significant in the valuation of that asset or liability. There are no transfers from/into each level.
The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting year during which the change occurred.

Development management fee and priority participating profit dividend
The Group had a development management agreement with New Waverley Advisers Limited and New Waverley Holdings Limited ("the developer") under which a fee and a priority participating profit dividend was payable to the developer in relation to the development of the New Waverley site in Edinburgh, Scotland. Under the terms of the agreement, MAS was entitled to a 7.5% annualised preferred return on invested capital. The developer then earned one third of this annualised return and thereafter was entitled to a fee or profit dividend that together approximate 25% of any further development profit. With the services required under the Development Management Agreement now complete, the Group paid in the period ended 30 June 2020, €2,028 thousand and €3,042 thousand of the Development Management Fee and Priority Participating Dividend respectively for the completed New Waverley Sites and during the year ended 30 June 2021, transferred to construction payables in relation to the above-mentioned services €650 thousand.

20. Equity
20.1. Share capital, share premium and treasury shares
Accounting policy
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity. The Group's policy is to maintain a strong capital base to allow sustainable growth in the development of the Group.
The ordinary share capital of the company has no par value. The reconciliation of share capital is as follows:

Treasury shares - geared share purchase plan shares
On 1 September 2020, 1,900,000 allocated geared share purchase plan shares were forfeited following the departure of several participants from the scheme and subsequently returned to the scheme and granted to different participants. The shares were forfeited at the initial issue price of €1.6386 and returned to the scheme and granted at the share price on 1 September 2020, €0.5525, the net value of €2,064 thousand between forfeiture and brought back in the scheme being reflected through share premium.
During the financial year ended 30 June 2021, a total number of 2,801,931 shares were issued in the geared share purchase plan with a value of €1,735 thousand, out of which 579,241 shares were issued on 23 September 2020 at an issue price of €0.5525, 1,362,690 shares issued on 1 October 2020 at an issue price of €0.5525, 500,000 shares were issued on 4 March 2021 at an issue price of €0.7491 and 360,000 shares were issued on 30 March 2021 at an issue price of €0.8000, refer to note 20.2.
During the year ended 30 June 2020, 1,531,127 allocated geared share purchase plan shares were forfeited and cancelled upon exit from the scheme, as Werner Behrens and Paul Osbourn resigned as CEO and CFO respectively on 20 November 2019, refer to note 20.2.
Consideration shares issued
During the financial year ended 30 June 2020, the Group issued 67,000,000 shares at an issue price of €1.15395 (ZAR 18.96) per share in consideration for the acquisition of the Property Management Platform and Prime Kapital's effective economic interest in the Joint venture (the 'Transaction'). Transaction costs of €nil (30 June 2020: €152 thousand) were deducted from share capital.
The Consideration Shares are locked for 3 years commencing on the date of the Transaction ('the Lock-In Period'). Prime Kapital will not, during the Lock-In Period, transfer any interest in the Consideration Shares to another person (other than the Incentive Shares to be issued to key individuals that are part of the Property Management Platform ('Incentive Share Participants'). The Group considered the requirements of IFRS 2 'Share-based Payments', and of IFRS 3 'Business Combinations' to determine whether any of the Consideration Shares relate to components other than the settlement of the purchase consideration. This resulted in equity-settled share-based payments being recognised in respect of Executive Management, the Incentive Share Participants and the PK Prepaid Development Services.
Distributions
The holders of the company's shares are entitled to distributions as declared and to one vote per share at general meetings of the company. Distributions of the company can be paid from retained earnings or as a return of capital in accordance with the BVI Business Companies Act 2004.
| At 30 June 2021 | At 30 June 2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| Distribution to shareholders of the Group | - | 61,556 |
| Distribution to non-controlling interest | - | 3,448 |
During the financial year ended 30 June 2021 no distributions were declared and/or paid.
20.2. Share-based payment arrangements
Accounting policy
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date.
The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest. A corresponding increase is recognised in the share-based payment reserve.
Non-forfeitable distributions paid as part of the share-based payment awards are included within the fair value at the grant date of the share-based payment. Options are forfeited if the employee leaves the Group before the options vest.
The share-based payment reserve within equity relates to the option expense of the Group's geared share purchase plan.
Geared share purchase plan shares (treasury shares)
Geared share purchase plan shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. When geared share purchase plan shares are sold or issued subsequently, the amount received or paid is recognised within equity and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is recognised within share capital. Where share purchase plan shares are forfeited by participants the shares are cancelled.
Estimated participant's tax obligation payable or due to tax authorities at sale of shares, could not be reliably determined, as the shares have gradual vesting patterns and would depend on price of shares at date of sale.
In terms of these, the Group granted participants a loan to acquire shares issued by the Group. The loans accrue interest at the weighted average cost of debt of the Group. If distributions are declared, the participants are entitled to distributions on all their shares, irrespective of vesting. A portion of any distribution received must be used to settle the interest accrued on the loan.
Recourse on the loans is limited to the value of the shares acquired plus any unpaid interest accrued, and the shares are pledged as security for repayment of the loan.
At 30 June 2021, the Group had the following share-based payment arrangements:
- Incentive Share Participants;
- PK Prepaid Development Services;
- Executive Management; and
- Salaried geared share purchase plan.
The Incentive Share Participants, PK Prepaid Development Services and the Executive Management share-based payment arrangements (the "Transaction Share-Based Payments") were recognised as a result of the Transaction.
Incentive Share Participants
In accordance with the terms of the Transaction, Prime Kapital had placed in reserve 5% of the Consideration Shares to be allocated to existing and future employees and service providers who, directly or indirectly, provide services to or for the benefit of MAS through the Property Management Platform or as otherwise required by MAS from time to time (the "Incentive Share Participants"). The incentive shares are held in trust for the benefit of Incentive Share
All amounts in € thousand unless otherwise stated.

Consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
Participants. The incentive shares have been treated as a share-based payment in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 2 'Share-based Payments'. The incentive shares represent issued shares as part of the Transaction for the benefit of present and future Incentive Share Participants.
The terms of share-based payment had not been communicated to the Incentive Share Participants at 30 June 2020. Consequently, the incentive shares were initially recognised as a prepaid employee service expense of €3,866 thousand.
The equity-settled share-based payment expense has been calculated at Transaction date (described in note 14) based on 3,350,000 Consideration Shares at market price as at 27 November 2019 and subsequently a fair value adjustment has been recognised to reflect a reasonable expected grant date fair value (refer to note 9). The Incentive shares cannot be delisted, have attached rights to vote, exercise pre-emptive rights as shareholders and to receive distributions.
The terms of the share-based payment had been communicated to the Incentive Share Participants by 30 June 2021 and had a grant date of 1 September 2020. Consequently, the incentive shares were recognised as a prepaid employee service expense of €1,477 thousand (30 June 2020: €1,808 thousand) and the share-based payment will be expensed over the vesting period (33.3% after first 3 years, 66.7% up to 5 years). For the year ended 30 June 2021, share-based payment expense recognised was €374 thousand.
As such, at 30 June 2021 the Group recognised non-current prepaid employee service expense amounting to €1,409 thousand (30 June 2020: €1,059 thousand), refer to note 15, and current prepaid employee service expense amounting to €68 thousand (30 June 2020: €749 thousand), refer to note 17.2.
The price at grant date has been estimated at the MAS share price as of 1 September 2020, €0.5525, with the difference to the price at Transaction date recognised as a fair value difference through profit or loss, as shown in the table below.
| Note | No of shares | Share price | Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Executive Management
In accordance with the terms of the Transaction, Martin Slabbert and Victor Semionov will not be paid any remuneration during the three-year Lock-In period from the date of the Transaction. In accordance with IFRS 2 'Share Based payments' and IFRS 3 'Business Combinations' it has been determined that 1,858,331 Consideration Shares are recognised as an equity-settled share-based payment expense, which represents the value of the Share-based payment in relation to IFRS 2 for the respective executives based on their estimated implied renumeration. The treatment does not affect the commercial structure of the Transaction, and Martin Slabbert and Victor Semionov will not receive cash or other actual remuneration for the duration of the Lock-In period.
The fair value of the equity-settled share-based payment expense has been calculated based on 1,858,331 Consideration Shares at market price as at 27 November 2019.
The key terms of the Executive Management share-based payment are:
| Share-based payment | Grant date | Number of shares | Issue price | Vesting period | Vesting conditions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Executive Management | 27 Nov 2019 | 1,858,331 | €1.15395 | 3 years | Service for the Lock-In period |
The grant date fair value has been determined using the share price at 27 November 2019.
During the financial year ended 30 June 2021, €714 thousand (2020: €422 thousand) has been recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as an employment share-based payment expense and disclosed as a related party transaction (refer to note 26) in relation to services provided by Martin Slabbert and Victor Semionov.
PK Prepaid Development Services
In accordance with the terms of the Transaction Prime Kapital committed to provide property development services in relation to the extension of commercial real estate assets held within the joint venture on a cost recovery basis. The fair value of these services has been determined in accordance with the market approach of IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement', and a corresponding share-based payment has been recognised.
At 30 June 2021, Prime Kapital has not provided the relevant development services to the Group and therefore a prepayment for the future development services of €10,170 thousand has been recognised, split in a short-term portion and long-term portion, refer to notes 15 and 17.2. The fair value of the equity-settled share-based payment expense has been calculated based on 8,813,237 Consideration Shares at market price as at 27 November 2019. It remains the intention of the Group to utilise the development management services in the future.
As the development services provided by Prime Kapital to the joint venture is a pre-existing relationship that existed before the transaction was completed, Prime Kapital is acting as counterparty, not as shareholder of the Group and therefore the provision of the development services on a cost recovery basis at below market value is determined to be an equity-settled share-based payment arrangement with a non-employee.
The key terms of the PK Prepaid Development Services share-based payment are:
| Share-based payment | Grant date | Number of shares | Issue price | Vesting period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PK Prepaid Development Services | Transaction date | 8,813,237 | €1.15395 | Services to be performed for a period of up to 5 years |
Measurement of fair value of the Transaction share-based payments
The fair value of the share-based payments has been determined using the quoted share price on the grant date being €1.15395, multiplied by the number of shares allocated to the share-based payment for Share-based payment in relation to IFRS 2.
All amounts in € thousand unless otherwise stated.

20.3. Earnings per share
Accounting policy
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares.
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for own shares held.
Headline earnings is derived from basic earnings adjusted for re-measurements that relate to the capital platform of the Group per Circular 1/2021 issued by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants.
The shares issued as part of the geared share purchase plans are not included in the calculation of the weighted-average number of ordinary shares as they are deemed to be unissued (treasury shares).
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for treasury shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Basic earnings per share
The calculation of basic earnings per share has been based on the following profit attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding.
| Year ended 30 June 2021 | Year ended 30 June 2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| Opening issued ordinary shares | 704,493,798 | 637,493,798 |
| Effect of shares issued | - | 39,540,984 |
| Weighted-average number of ordinary shares | 704,493,798 | 677,034,782 |
The shares issued as part of the geared share purchase plans are not included in the calculation of the weighted-average number of ordinary shares as they are deemed to be unissued (treasury shares).

| Profit/(loss) from continuing operations attributable to owners of the Group (thousand euro) | 65,811 | (29,061) |
| Profit from discontinued operations attributable to owners of the Group (thousand euro) | 5,931 | 7,446 |
| Weighted-average number of ordinary shares | 704,493,798 | 677,034,782 |
| Basic earnings per share (eurocents) | 10.18 | (3.19) |
| Basic earnings per share (eurocents) - continuing operations | 9.34 | (4.29) |
| Basic earnings per share (eurocents) - discontinued operations | 0.84 | 1.10 |
Diluted earnings per share
The calculation of diluted earnings per share has been based on the following weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjusting for the effects of all potential dilutive ordinary shares.
| Year ended 30 June 2021 | Year ended 30 June 2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| Weighted-average number of ordinary shares (basic) | 704,493,798 | 677,034,782 |
| Effect of share options | 2,856,440 | - |
| Weighted-average number of ordinary shares (diluted) | 707,350,238 | 677,034,782 |
| Year ended 30 June 2021 | Year ended 30 June 2020 | |
| Profit/(loss) from continuing operations attributable to owners of the Group (thousand euro) | 65,811 | (29,061) |
| Profit from discontinued operations attributable to owners of the Group (thousand euro) | 5,931 | 7,446 |
| Weighted-average number of ordinary shares | 707,350,238 | 677,034,782 |
| Diluted earnings per share (eurocents) | 10.14 | (3.19) |
| Diluted earnings per share (eurocents) - continuing operations | 9.30 | (4.29) |
| Diluted earnings per share (eurocents) - discontinued operations | 0.84 | 1.10 |
The dilutive weighted average number of ordinary shares include the effect of the 4,701,931 shares granted in the period.
The average market value of the company's shares for the purpose of calculating the dilutive effect of the share options was based on quoted market prices for the period during which the options were outstanding.
All amounts in € thousand unless otherwise stated.

The JSE Listings Requirements require the calculation of headline earnings and diluted headline earnings per share and the disclosure of a detailed reconciliation of headline earnings to the earnings numbers used in the calculation of basic earnings per share, as required by IAS 33 'Earnings per Share'. Disclosure of headline earnings is not an IFRS requirement. The Directors do not use headline earnings or headline earnings per share in their analysis of the Group's performance, and do not consider it to be a useful or relevant metric for the Group. The Directors make no reference to headline earnings or headline earnings per share in their commentaries, instead, the Directors use distributable earnings as a more relevant measure.
21. Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
There are no contingent liabilities or assets.
22. Commitments
The Group has committed to fund PKM Development through 7.5% cumulative preference shares issued by PKM Development. The Group is committed to fund up to a total of €420 million (30 June 2020: €420 million). The outstanding commitment at the reporting date was €186.7 million (30 June 2020: €241.3 million) which is expected to be funded by 23 March 2025. The commitments have been reviewed and are not considered to be onerous at the reporting date.
On 28 February 2019, the Group acquired 7 properties (collectively referred to as the "Spark portfolio") from PKM Development through the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of their holding company. In the following years PKM Development may develop extensions for 3 of the completed properties on adjacent land plots. The Group has granted PKM Development an option ("the put option"), under the terms of which it can sell these completed extensions to the Group at an acquisition yield of 7.5% if developed over the following five years, and thereafter at an acquisition yield equating to the latest valuation yield of the relevant property. The extensions have zoning approval. The put option is outside the scope of IFRS 9 (2014) Financial Instruments as it relates to the 'own use' exemption (i.e. the purpose of entering into the contract was to meet the Group's expected purchase, sale or usage requirements and cannot be net settled). Accordingly, it was not accounted for as a derivative financial instrument. Instead IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets was considered and resulted that no onerous contract exists.
23. Events after the reporting date
PKM Development preference shares issued
After 30 June 2021 and up to date of this report, PKM Development issued additional preference shares amounting to €39,500 thousand.
Unsecured revolving facility
The Company had, on 30 June 2021, an unsecured revolving facility of €60 million, which was replaced, in August 2021, by a currently undrawn committed facility of €20 million (which can be increased up to €60 million) on improved terms when compared to the previous facility.
Disposal of New Uberior House – investment property held for sale
On 26 August 2021, the Group completed the sale of New Uberior House conducted via a share deal, for a sale price of £78.6 million.
All amounts in € thousand unless otherwise stated.

Fair value of financial investments
At 24 August 2021, gross exposure on financial investments had slightly decreased to €33,274 as compared to reported amounts as at 30 June 2021. There have been no additional financial investments purchases or sales in the period following 30 June 2021 and up to date of this report.
24. Critical accounting estimates, judgements and errors
The Board has made judgements, accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Group's accounting policies and the reported amounts in the consolidated annual financial statements. The directors continually evaluate these judgements and accounting estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses based upon historical experience and on other factors that they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions.
The key judgements and accounting estimates are:
Determination of whether disposal of investment property represents discontinued operations
Management concluded that the sale of the Western European portfolio represents an identifiable segment of the business and forms part of a co-ordinated disposal plan. As noted below the WE portfolio met the criteria for 'held for sale', therefore, in accordance with IFRS 5, the entire segment has been treated as a discontinued operation and the results for the current and prior year have been separately disclosed from the rest of the business.
Determination of whether investment property is classified as held for sale
The Group applies judgements to determine whether investment property meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale under IFRS 5 'Non-current assets held for sale'. The Group's strategy is to dispose of its Western European portfolio of investment property, however, in accordance with the standard, it does not classify an asset as held for sale until the relevant criteria has been met.
Determination of impairment of receivables
The Group applied judgements to determine revenue recognition in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, as gross rental income and gross service charge income were recognised in full for the lockdown periods and in recognised in accordance with the principles of IFRS 16. In accordance with the standard, impairments of receivables are recognised as an effect of the lockdowns and other economic consequences caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Additional judgements are made in respect of determining if the forgiveness granted to tenants qualify as lease modifications. However, as disclosed in note 5, the Group recognised impairment of receivables as a forgiveness without qualifying as a lease modification, with a corresponding reduction in lease receivables in the period in which the reduction was agreed.
The key areas of estimation uncertainty are:
Valuation of investment properties and investment properties held for sale
The Group uses external professional valuers to determine the relevant amounts. The external property valuation experts use recognised valuation techniques and apply the principles of IFRS 13: Fair Value Measurement. The primary source of evidence for property valuations is recent, comparable market transactions on an arms-length basis. However, the valuation of the Group's property portfolio is inherently subjective, as they are based upon valuer assumptions which may prove to be inaccurate. The methods and significant assumptions used by the valuers in estimating fair value are set out in note 12.
The valuers have modified some of their assumptions in light of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic:
- Assumptions affecting short-term cash flows: depending on the types of assets as well as the market the properties are operating in, the appraisers took into account various levels of rent holidays, prolonged void periods. The appraisers also factored in lower levels of sales-based rents and of ancillary income over the same period.
- Assumptions affecting long-term cash flows and values: the appraisers applied lower levels of indexation and considered higher levels of structural vacancy, although future estimated market rents have not been significantly revised at this stage in view of the dearth of leasing transactions.
- The appraisers also increased discount rates and exit cap rates in most countries, despite lower inflation prospects, to reflect greater uncertainty over long-term cash flows, liquidity and value and growth prospects on exit.
The appraisers included a 'material valuation uncertainty clause' in the reports as at 30 June 2020, as per the RICS recommendation, which stated that the valuations can be relied upon, but needed to be monitored, due to the lack of market comparable data and appreciation of the long-term effects of Covid-19. The external valuers have considered that by the end of 2020 the real-estate market had recovered and sufficient market evidence existed by the reporting date. Consequently, the valuation reports for all the Group's properties at the year end were no longer prepared on the "material valuation uncertainty" basis. Further information and sensitivity tables are included within note 12.2.
Valuation of financial instruments
Financial instruments: In determining the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, the Group is required to make estimations of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The methods and significant assumptions used in estimating fair value are set out in note 19.
Loan commitments
The Group has committed to advancing funds to PKM Development in the future by acquiring preference shares, refer to note 22. Judgements are made to assess the market related rate of these loan commitments. The Group applies judgement in reviewing the loan commitments made and determined that the PKM Development preference share commitments are a market related rate.
Presentation statement of profit or loss items
The Group elected to provide an improved presentation of certain consolidated statement of profit or loss items and the rental income note. As such, the Group has included a Gross revenue subtotal for the year ended 30 June 2021 of €45,363 thousand (year ended 30 June 2020: €46,850 thousand) and outlined rental related expenses such as impairment of receivables and service charge and other property operating expenses. The respective items, whose presentation has been enhanced, are part of the Net rental income line in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. The change in presentation does not have an impact in the underlying amounts in current and prior years. Current presentation, including continuing and discontinued operations as presented in note 5, which aims to reflect the reconciliation of the items to prior year ended 30 June 2020 items, is as follows:
Current presentation (as the total of continuing and discontinued operations):
| Year ended 30 June 2021 | Year ended 30 June 2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| Rental income | 58,190 | 66,834 |
| Service charge income and other recoveries | 12,999 | 14,391 |
| Gross revenue | 71,189 | 81,225 |
| Impairment of receivables | (6,349) | (5,591) |
| Service charge and other property operating expenses | (18,418) | (19,158) |
| Net rental income | 46,422 | 56,476 |
All amounts in € thousand unless otherwise stated.

25. Financial risk management
The Group is exposed to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
- Liquidity risk
- Market price risk
- Interest rate risk: fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk
- Foreign exchange risk
- Credit risk
Liquidity risk
The risk that the Group will encounter difficulty meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities that arises when the maturity of assets and liabilities do not match. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability but can also increase the risk of losses.
The Group has an internal treasury function focused on ensuring the efficient but prudent use of cash and availability of working capital, including future cashflows and liabilities.
The main liquidity risk inherent in the business is due to tenant default; should a tenant default, this may result in the inability of the Group to cover its interest and capital payments and subscribing for PKM Development preference shares. The Group has to have sufficient liquidity to meet preference shares subscription requests from PKM Development Limited. The Group mitigates liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash, assets readily convertible into cash such as listed real estate equity securities and access to undrawn debt facilities. The Group had an undrawn debt facility of €60,000 thousand as at 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: no undrawn facility).
The Group intends to invest up to a further €186,650 thousand in PKM Development preference shares. Other than commitments to PKM Development, the Group has no significant concentration of liquidity risk on the basis that the Group holds all cash and cash equivalents on demand.
The following reflects the contractual maturities of payments, and includes interest and bond coupon payments:

| 61,237 | 59,085 | 360,383 | 258,968 | 739,673 |
Preference shares may be issued by a single counterparty, PKM Development. The preference shares do not have contractual drawdowns, consequently, the concentration risk is principally managed by maintaining sufficient liquidity to match PKM Development's budgeted issue of the preference shares. The maturity disclosure represents PKM Development's maximum issue, it does not reflect the budgeted or expected issue of preference shares. However, there is no limit on the number of preference share issues that may be made until the end of the contractually agreed period (i.e. 2025), save that if funding is requested, but not immediately available, the Group's funding obligations are limited to €120 million on a rolling six-month basis. The outstanding commitment at 30 June 2021 amounts to €186,650 thousand.
Market price risk
The risk that the market price of an investment or financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates, market interest rates, market factors specific to the security or its issuer or factors generally affecting all such investments.
The risk to the Group arises due to an imbalance between demand and supply for the relevant investments and financial instruments in the portfolio, which could potentially result in a disorderly market. Market price risk is mitigated through a combination of extensive initial market research prior to acquiring the asset, ongoing monitoring of the share price of the listed real estate equity securities.
All amounts in € thousand unless otherwise stated.

At 30 June 2021, if market prices had been $5\%$ (30 June 2020: $5\%$ ) higher/lower, with all other variables held constant, pre-tax profit for the year would have been €1,679 thousand (30 June 2020: €1,998 thousand) higher/lower. The change pre-tax profit for the year has a linear relationship with the percentage change in market price. This sensitivity analysis is based on the gross exposure of financial investments and assumes that all other variables remain constant.
Interest rate risk
A significant part of the funding of the Group's portfolio derives from debt. Debt is managed on an active basis, with interest rate swaps used to hedge against adverse movements in interest rate, if applicable.

Consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
Fair value sensitivity for fixed rate instruments
The Group does not account for any fixed rate borrowings at fair value through profit or loss and the Group does not designate derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments. Therefore, a change in interest rates on fixed rate borrowings would not affect profit or loss. A change in the fair value of the hedging instruments would not have a material impact on the profit or loss.
Cash flow sensitivity for variable rate instruments
At 30 June 2021, if interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower (30 June 2020: 25 basis points), with all other variables held constant, pre-tax profit for the year would have been €423 thousand (30 June 2020: €243 thousand) lower/higher, arising mainly as a result of the higher/lower interest expense on variable borrowings. This sensitivity analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.
Foreign exchange risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk as it holds both assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than euro, the presentation currency. It is therefore exposed to currency risk, as the value of assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies will fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates. The foreign exchange risk is mitigated as management monitors exchange rates against assets and liabilities on a regular basis. In addition, effort is made to match assets and liabilities in foreign currency against each other to reduce any foreign exchange risk.
At 30 June 2021, the Group had the following functional currency exposures:
| GBP | CHF | ZAR | PLN | BGN | RON | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Credit risk
The Group is exposed to credit risk primarily as a result of its banking relationships, trade receivables and contract assets owed by tenants, capital contribution receivable, CFD collateral and its investment in the PKM Development Limited preference shares.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure, as follows:

MAS Real Estate Inc.
Consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
The Group's preference shares €247,734 thousand (30 June 2020: €186,050 thousand) included within financial assets are with a single counterparty, PKM Development. The maximum credit risk exposure would be the maximum commitment of €420,000 thousand (30 June 2020: €420,000 thousand). This concentration of credit risk is principally managed by assessing credit quality through quarterly reviews of PKM Development's management accounts, annually reviewing the audited annual financial statements and property valuation reports. The PKM Development preference shares have no material expected credit losses, see note 17.4.
The Group's financial investments with credit risk exposure, as at 30 June 2020, of €28,406 thousand related to the CFD collateral which were held with a single investment banking company. The concentration of credit risk was managed by assessing the counterparty's financial rating, which was rated A3 by Moody's. The Group finalised disposal of its CFDs during the financial year, and had no exposure at 30 June 2021.
In order to manage the Group's financial instruments and cash and cash equivalents credit risk, management monitors its banking partners' credit risk and deposits the majority of its cash and cash equivalents with banks and financial institutions which are rated investment grade. Approximately 93.9% of the Group's cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2021 was held with banks rated investment grade.
The Group's trade receivables do not contain any financing component and mainly represent lease receivables. Therefore, the Group applied the simplified approach under IFRS 9 and measured the loss allowance based on a provision matrix based on historical collection and default experience adjusted for forward-looking factors in order to estimate the provision on initial recognition and throughout the life of the receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECL (Expected Credit Losses).
The expected loss rates are based on the tenants' payment profiles over a period of 36 months before 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020 respectively and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within these periods. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking factors affecting tenants' ability to settle receivables. The expected loss rate for trade receivables as at 30 June 2021 amounts to 2.07%, higher than the 0.65% applicable as at 30 June 2020, mostly due to the overall impact of Covid-19 on the financial environment.
The analysis by credit quality of trade and other receivables, cumulated for rent and service charge is as follows:
| At 30 June 2021 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current | 0-30 days | 31-60 days | 61-90 days | More than 90 days | Total | |
| Expected credit loss rate | 0.10% | 0.15% | 0.21% | 0.58% | 1.04% | 2.07% |

| Expected credit loss rate | 0.03% | 0.05% | 0.06% | 0.18% | 0.32% | 0.65% |

| 7,826 | 2,793 | 1,276 | 1,792 | 1,901 | 9,686 |
Movement in allowance is presented in the table below:
| Year ended 30 June 2021 | Year ended 30 June 2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| Opening balance | (5,916) | (173) |
| Impairment of receivables allowance constituted - continuing operations | (2,407) | (4,968)³ |
| Impairment of receivables allowance constituted - discontinued operations | - | (828) |
| Reversal of impairment of receivables allowance | 756 | 53 |

| Impairment of receivables - continuing operations² | (4,439) | - |
| Impairment of receivables - discontinued operations³ | (259) | - |
¹Receivables allowance written-off refers to amounts previously provided for, of €5,017 thousand, resulting in a nil impact within the consolidated statement of profit and loss.
²Impairment of receivables represent the impact in profit or loss of the discounts and conditional waivers granted to tenants following negotiations for lockdown periods. The impairment of €4,698 thousand, representing impairment of receivables for continuing and discontinued operations, recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss profit does not impact the balance of receivables' allowance, as these have been presented, on a net basis, as part of Trade and other receivables.
³ Impairment of receivables allowance constituted for continuing operations of €4,968 thousand, included €4,763 thousand impairment of receivables as a result of the Covid-19, and €152 thousand other specific receivable allowance recognised as a service charge expense.
The tenants' receivable balances which were overdue but have not been provisioned, result from the related tenants having committed, and started, paying their outstanding balances subsequent to year-end. Further tenants' deposits may be executed by the Group in part or in whole if receivables due from tenants are not settled or in case of other breaches of contractual terms.
There are no other concentration credit risks related to trade and other receivables, as the Group does not place reliance on a single counterparty. In order to manage the credit risk related to trade and other receivables, the Group continuously monitors the financial performance and reputation of its tenants. In calculating the expected credit loss rates for trade and other receivables, the Group considers the historic loss rates and adjusts for forward looking macroeconomic data. There are no material impairment losses.
All amounts in € thousand unless otherwise stated.

Capital management
The Group's capital management strategy is to ensure its compliance with bank or bond covenants, and that it maintains strong credit ratings and capital base so to maintain market and investors relations, as well as creditor confidence and to support further business long-term growth.
The Group's main objective in managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it continues to provide and maximise long-term returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Company declined to declare an interim dividend and stated that the Company will consider resuming dividend payments when the pandemic is effectively over, business is sufficiently profitable and depending on the attractiveness of investment opportunities.
During the financial year ended 30 June 2021, the Group's policy was to maintain a Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio below 40% on a proportionate consolidation basis. Following the repayment of secured bank loans relating to its CEE and WE assets, the Group's LTV ratio has improved from 33% as at 30 June 2020 to 13% as at 30 June 2021.
The Group is closely monitoring bond covenants, as described in note 18.1.

MAS Real Estate Inc.
Consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
28. Summary of general accounting policies
Basis of preparation – statement of compliance
These consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB ("IFRS"), the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("JSE") Listings Requirements, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides, as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council and applicable legal and regulatory requirements of the BVI Business Companies Act 2004.
Basis of measurement
These consolidated annual financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following items that are measured on the fair value basis:
- Financial instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), refer to note 19;
- Financial investments, refer to note 19;
- Share-based payments on grant date, refer to note 20.2; and
- Investment property and investment property held for sale, refer to notes 12.1 and 4.2.
Accounting policies
The specific accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated annual financial statements have been described in each note, where applicable.
The following general accounting policies have also been applied. All policies have been applied consistently to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
The consolidated annual financial statements of the Group incorporate the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of the company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all entities, including those that are structured, over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over it. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases. The acquisition method is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. Identifiable acquired assets and liabilities, and contingent liabilities, assumed in a business combination are measured at their fair values on the date of acquisition. The consideration transferred for the acquired entity is measured at the fair value of the assets given up, equity instruments issued, and liabilities incurred, or assumed, including fair value of assets or liabilities from contingent consideration arrangements, but excluding acquisition related costs, such as advisory, legal, valuation and similar professional services.
The accounting policies of the subsidiaries are consistent with those of the company. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those of the Group.
Transactions which result in changes in ownership levels, where the Group has control of the subsidiary both before and after the transaction are regarded as equity transactions and are recognised directly in equity.
Transactions and balances eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, as well as investments in subsidiaries and corresponding equity in the subsidiaries are eliminated in preparing the consolidated annual financial statements.
Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated annual financial statements are presented in euro ("€"), the Group's presentation currency.
The functional currency is determined by the relevant, primary economic environment of each entity in the Group. The other determining factor is the currency in which the majority of cash flows, goods and services are denominated and settled in the respective country. When the functional currency cannot be clearly identified, management uses judgement to determine the functional currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions.
Translation into functional currency
For the purpose of presenting consolidated annual financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group's foreign operations are translated to euros using exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. At each reporting date:
- monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the presentation currency at the rates prevailing at that date;
- non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate at the date the fair value was determined;
- non-monetary items that are measured based on the historical cost basis in a foreign currency are translated at the rate at the date of the transaction;
- income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period.
Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in equity in the foreign currency translation reserve, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to non-controlling interest. Such exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed of.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments that arise on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.
Adoption of new/revised standards
During the period, the Group adopted the following amendments/improvements to standards and interpretations:
- Covid-19-related Rent Concessions – Amendment to IFRS 16;
- Definition of Material – amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8;
- Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7; and
- Revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting.
All amounts in € thousand unless otherwise stated.

Consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
Covid-19-related Rent Concessions – Amendment to IFRS 16;
The Group has adopted amendments to IFRS 16, in relation to Covid-19-related Rent Concessions. The impact for the rent concessions and related impairment of receivables are detailed in note 5. Originally the practical expedient was applied, and as required, the Group continues to apply it consistently, to all lease contracts with similar characteristics and in similar circumstances, using this subsequent amendment.
Definition of Material – amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8
The Group has adopted amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 with effect from 1 July 2020. There has been no impact on the amounts or disclosures previously reported as a result of the adoption of the amendments.
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7
The Group adopted the amendments on 1 July 2020. In accordance with the transition provisions, the Group has adopted the amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 retrospectively to hedging relationships that existed at the start of the reporting period or were designated thereafter. There has been no impact on the amounts or disclosures previously reported as a result of the adoption of the amendments.
Revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting
