INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the Shareholders of Neinor Homes, S.A.,

Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Neinor Homes, S.A. (the Parent) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2017, and the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of recognised income and expense, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash flows and notes to the consolldated financial statements for the year then ended.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated equity and consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2017, and its consolidated results and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (EU-IFRSs) and the other provisions of the regulatory financial reporting framework applicable to the Group in Spain.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the audit regulations in force in Spain. Our responsibilities under those regulations are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements, including those pertaining to independence, that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Spain pursuant to the audit regulations in force. In this regard, we have not provided any services other than those relating to the audit of financial statements and there have not been any situations or circumstances that, in accordance with the aforementioned audit regulations, might have affected the requisite independence in such a way as to compromise our independence.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Valuation of development property inventories

Description

The Group has a portfolio of land, housing developments in progress and completed housing developments classified as "development property" located throughout Spain, the carrying amount of which at 31 December 2017 was EUR 1,060 million.

The Group measures these inventories at the lower of acquisition cost and market value and uses third parties unrelated to it as experts to determine the market value of its inventories on a half-yearly basis.

The determination of the market value of the property inventories in order to subsequently compare it with cost and measure the inventories at the lower of the two values constitutes a key matter in our audit, since the valuation method generally applied to these assets, i.e. the dynamic residual method, requires estimates with a significant degree of i uncertainty to be made, including most notably those of:

* the future selling prices and the pace of sales of the various developments; * the estimated costs to be incurred to complete the developments in progress; * the development times of the land in held in the portfolio; and

* the internal discount rate used.

In addition, small percentage changes in the valuations of the property assets could give rise to significant changes in the consolidated financial statements.

Procedures applied in the audit

Our audit procedures included, among others, the review of the design and implementation of the relevant controls that mitigate the risks associated with the valuation of property inventories, as well as tests to verify that the aforementioned controls operate effectively. In particular, those controls whereby the directors supervise and approve the work performed by the experts hired for this purpose.

We obtained the valuation reports of the experts hired by the Group to value all of the development property inventories and assessed the competence, ability and objectivity of the experts and the suitability of their work for use as audit evidence.

In this connection, with the cooperation of our internal valuation experts, we:

* Analysed and concluded on the reasonableness of the valuation procedures and methodology used by the experts hired by Group management;

* Performed, for a sample of assets chosen from among those of most significance in the Group's portfolio and those whose change in value might imply an atypical characteristic with respect to the available market information and the other inventories, an independent valuation, taking into account the information available on the industry and transactions with similar assets; and * Revlewed, for a sample of assets, that the technical inputs used by the appraiser are in accordance with the urban characteristics of the assets appraised

We also analysed and concluded upon the suitability of the disclosures made by the Group in relation to these matters, which are included in Notes 4-f, 6 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements for 2017.

The results of the procedures performed in relation to the inventory valuation enabled the audit objectives for which the procedures were designed to be reasonably achieved.

Occurrence and measurement of the expense associated with the "Management
Incentive Plan" incentive plan
Description
At the beginning of 2017, prior to completion
of the IPO process, an incentive plan was
approved for certain members of the Group's
executive team and Board of Directors which
includes fixed and variable remuneration
payable in cash and in shares of the Parent, as
indicated in Note 4-s to the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
Payment of these incentives will be made in
full by Neinor Holdings, S.L.U. (the sole
shareholder of the Parent, once the Parent's
transformation from a private limited liability
company to a public limited liability company
has been completed).
Both the calculation and the disclosures
relating to this remuneration earned by the
senior executives represent key matters in our
audit because of the qualitative and
quantitative importance of the information and
of the fact they are associated with a high
level of sensitivity in terms of judgements and
estimates.
Procedures applied in the audit
Our audit procedures included, among others,
the review of the remuneration policies for
directors and senior executives, as well as the
incentive plan approved.
We performed an analysis of the accounting
criteria followed by the Group for the
recognition and measurement of the incentive
plan, in order to conclude on the
reasonableness of the treatment applied in
accordance with the regulatory financial
reporting framework applicable to the Group.
Specifically, in relation to the fixed
remuneration under the incentive plan, we
checked the delivery of this remuneration in
accordance with the terms and conditions of
the plan and the accounting recognition
thereof in 2017.
With regard to the variable remuneration,
which had not yet been paid at the reporting
date of the consolidated financial statements
for 2017, we obtained the valuation report
prepared by the experts hired by the Group
and assessed the competence, ability and
objectivity of the experts and the suitability of
their work for use as audit evidence.
In this connection, with the cooperation of our
internal experts in the valuation of incentive
plans, we:
Analysed and concluded on the
reasonableness of the valuation procedures
and methodology used by the experts hired by
Group management;
Evaluated the market inputs considered by
the expert;
Performed an independent valuation for the
group of beneficiaries as a whole; and
Assessed the areas of most significant risk.

In addition, we reviewed the Parent's calculations in relation to the amount of variable remuneration earned in 2017 on the basis of the total valuation calculated, and checked the accounting recognition thereof and the tax treatment applied to the incentive plan by the Parent.

We verified that Notes 4-s, 15-f and 22-c to the consolidated financial statements include the disclosures relating to this incentive plan and all the additional information relating to the remuneration of directors and senior executives.

The results of the procedures performed in relation to the occurrence and valuation of the incentive plan enabled the audit objectives for which the procedures were designed to be reasonably achieved.

Occurrence in the recognition of revenue relating to non-standard agreements

Description

Sales under non-standard agreements correspond to transactions in which processes and agreements relate to the specific type of assets to be transferred, unlike the sales transactions carried out with private individuals, in which processes and agreements are highly standardised.

Although the recognition of this revenue, under the Group's habitual terms and conditions, is not complex, since it gives rise to accounts receivable that are realised in a short period of time, it does involve the consideration of specific circumstances associated with the various conditions agreed upon with the buyers. There is an inherent risk associated with occurrence in the recognition of this revenue, which depends on the contractual terms and conditions under which the assets are sold.

For the above reasons, we determined this matter to be a key matter in our audit.

Procedures applied in the audit

Our audit procedures included checking the design and implementation, as well as the operating effectiveness, of the relevant controls supporting the occurrence of sales under non-standard agreements, in addition to the sales accounting and recognition procedure.

In addition, for a representative sample of the non-standard agreements, we analysed, on a selective basis, whether the revenue is properly recognised, taking into account the contractual terms and obligations vis-à-vis buyers, including the effective transfer of ownership, and checked the amounts received by the Group or the reliability of the estimated collection of the deferred amounts.

We also analysed and concluded upon the suitability of the disclosures made by the Group in relation to these matters, which are included in Notes 4.m and 6 to the consolidated financial statements for 2017.

The results of the procedures performed in relation to occurrence in the recognition of revenue from non-standard agreements enabled the audit objectives for which the procedures were designed to be reasonably achieved.

Other Information: Consolidated Directors' Report

The other information comprises the consolidated directors' report for 2017, the preparation of which is the responsibility of the Parent's directors and which do not form part of the consolidated financial statements.

Our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information. Our responsibility relating to the other information is defined in the audit regulations in force, which establish two distinct levels of review:

a) A specific level that applies to certain information included in the Corporate Governance Report, as defined in Article 35.2.b) of Spanish Audit Law 22/2015, which consists solely of checking that the aforementioned information has been provided in the consolidated directors' report and, if this is not the case, reporting this fact.

b) A general level that applies to the remaining other information, which consists of evaluating and reporting on whether the other information is consistent with the consolidated financial statements, based on our knowledge of the Group obtained in the audit of those consolidated financial statements and excluding any information other than that obtained as evidence during the audit. Also, our responsibility relating to the consolidated directors' report consists of evaluating and reporting on whether the content and presentation of the directors' report are in conformity with the applicable regulations. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there are material misstatements, we are required to report that fact.

Based on the work performed, as described in the preceding paragraph, we do not have anything to report with respect to the consolidated directors' report for 2017, and we have checked that the specific information described in section a) above has been provided and that the other information in the consolidated directors' report is consistent with that contained in the consolidated financial statements for 2017 and its content and presentation are in conformity with the applicable regulations.

Responsibilities of the Directors and of the Audit Committee of the Parent for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Parent's directors are responsible for preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements so that they present fairly the Group's consolidated equity, consolidated financial position and consolidated results in accordance with EU-IFRSs and the other provisions of the regulatory financial reporting framework applicable to the Group in Spain, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Parent's 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 Parent's audit committee is responsible for overseeing the process involved in the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 the audit regulations in force in Spain 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 consolidated financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is included in Appendix I to this auditor's report. This description, which is on page 7, forms part of our auditor's report.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Additional Report to the Parent's Audit Committee

The opinion expressed in this report is consistent with the content of our additional report to the Parent's audit committee dated 21 February 2018.

Engagement Period

At the General Meeting held on 8 March 2017, the then sole shareholder of the Parent appointed us as auditors for a period of one year from the year ended 31 December 2017, the year in which the Parent became a Public Interest Entity.

Previously, we had been designated pursuant to a resolution of the sole shareholder for the period of three years and have been auditing the consolidated financial statements uninterruptedly since the six-month period ended 30 June 2015.

Appendix I to our auditor's report

Further to the information contained in our auditor's report, in this Appendix we include our responsibilities in relation to the audit of the consolidated financial statements.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

As part of an audit in accordance with the audit regulations in force in Spain, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • · Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 Parent's directors.
  • · Conclude on the appropriateness of the use by the Parent's directors 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, Including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 Parent's audit committee 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 Parent's audit committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements, including those regarding independence, and we have

communicated with it to report on all matters that may reasonably be thought to jeopardise our independence, and where applicable, on the related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Parent's audit committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated 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.

The Neinor Homes Group was incorporated in the context of the memorandum of understanding entered into in 2014 by Kutxabank, S.A. and the Lone Star investment fund, through its investee Intertax Business, S.L.U. (now Neinor Holdings, S.L.U.) for the sale and purchase of a portion of the Kutxabank Group's property assets. This transaction was completed on 14 May 2015 through the transfer by Kutxabank, S.A. to Nelnor Holdings, S.L.U. of all the shares held by the former in Neinor Homes, S.A., once the conditions precedent established in the purchase and sale agreement entered into by the parties on 18 December 2014 had been met.

In addition, and as part of this transaction, on 1 January 2015, all the employees who had been performing the property group's development and management tasks at the Kutxabank Group, and the technical and other resources required to perform this activity, were transferred to the various Nelnor Homes Group companies. In this regard, on 14 May 2015, an asset administration and management agreement was entered into by the varlous Kutxabank Group companies and Neinor Homes, S.A. in relation to the property assets owned by the former. This agreement has an initial

seven-year term and may be extended automatically for further one-year periods. As consideration for these services, the various companies paid remuneration depending on the type and volume of the managed assets, plus additional variable remuneration based on success, applicable to asset sales and for performing certain specific related actions, and accruals. The contract can be terminated early in certain circumstances relating to a change of control at the successful bidder for the contract involving a competitor of Kutxabank, negligence in the provision of the service or interruption thereof for more than seven days, except in the event of fortuitous events or force majeure. In addition, in the event of Kutxabank's loss of control of entities within the scope of this contract, there is an option for early termination, although the corresponding compensation for termination is regulated. At 31 of December 2017 and 2016, there are 25 and 14 people of the Group, respectively, who are adhered to these services in a direct way. In 2017, in accordance with the terms and conditions established in the property asset administration and management agreement, Kutxabank and the Neinor Homes Group entered into an agreement whereby the Neinor Homes Group proceeded to open bank accounts for the sole purpose of enabling the Neinor Homes Group to manage directly the expenses paid under the aforement in relation to the companies Kutxabank, S.A. and Cajasur Banco, S.A.U., to which the balances deposited in these cash accounts belong. As a result, the cash balances of these accounts at 31 December 2017, amounting to EUR 7 thousand are not recognised in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and nor are any liabilities, income or expenses associated with the balance recognised in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

On 29 March 2017, the Parent's shares were admitted to trading on the Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia Stock Exchanges, for which the Group obtained the related waivers/approvals from the banks from which it had received any kind of financing to avoid such financing being subject to early total payment, and the discharge of the first- and second-ranking security interests granted to the Kutxabank Group on all of the Parent's shares existing at 2016 year-end was approved, once the deferred price set forth in the purchase and sale transaction for the Neinor Homes Group had been paid to Kutxabank by Neinor Holdings, using the funds generated by the flotation

The consolidated financial statements of the Neinor Homes Group for 2016 were prepared by the Parent's directors at the Board of Directors' meeting held on 24 February 2017, on the basis of the accounting records held by the Parent and by the other Neinor Homes Group companies properly adjusted for the conversion to International Financial Reporting Standards (EU-IFRSs), and approved by its sole shareholder on 28 February 2017.

Appendix I includes the detail of the consolidated Group companies and the information related thereto at 31 December 2017 and 2016, prior to the related unifying adjustments thereof and any adjustments made for the conversion to International Financial Reporting Standards (EU-IFRSs). The information in Appendix I was provided by the Group companies and their equity position is reflected in their separate financial statements.

2. Basis of presentation of the consolidated financial statements

a) Basis of presentation

In accordance with Requlation (EC) No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and Council of 19 July 2002, every company governed by the laws of a European Union member state, and having its equity shares listed on a regulated market of any of its member states is required to file its consolidated financial statements for the reporting periods starting on or after 1 January 2005, in compliance with such International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as may have been previously adopted by the European Union. These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union, so that they present fairly the Neinor Homes Group's consolidated equity and financial position at 31 December 2017, and the results of its operations, the changes in consolidated equity and the consolidated cash flows in the 12 months period then ended.

The consolidated financial statements of the Nelnor Homes Group for 2017 were prepared by the Parent's directors at the Board of Directors' meeting held on 21 February 2018, on the basis of the accounting records held by the Parent and by the other Neinor Homes Group companies properly adjusted for the conversion to International Financial Reporting Standards (EU-IFRSs).

However, since the accounting policies and measurement bases used in preparing the Group's consolidated financial statements for 2017 may differ from those used by certain Group companies, the required adjustments and reclassifications were made on consolidation to unify such policies and bases and to make them compliant with International Financial Reporting Standards.

In order to uniformly present the various items that make up the consolidated financial statements, the accounting policies and measurement bases used by the Parent have been applied to all the companies included in the scope of consolidation.

The 2017 consolidated financial statements of the Group and the financial statements of the Group companles have not yet been approved by their respective sole shareholders. However, the Parent's Board of Directors considers that the aforementioned financial statements will be approved without any changes.

b) Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards

The following mandatory standards and interpretations, already adopted in the European Union, became effective in 2017. Where applicable, the Group has used them in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements:

assets are involved, there is partial profit and
loss recognition.

The Group has performed an assessment in relation to the standards that come into force in 2018 and subsequent years, particularly IFRS 15 and IFRS 9, of the impacts that the future application of these standards might have on the consolidated financial statements once they become effective.

IFRS 15

In relation to IFRS 15, at 2017 year-end the new revenue standard applies to all contracts with customers in the real estate and servicing areas. The new requirements could give rise to changes in the revenue profile. Specifically, the standard establishes a revenue recognition approach based on five steps. Step 1 consists of identifying the contract with the customer; Step 2 involves identifying the separate performance obligations under the contract; Step 3 consists of determining the transaction price; in Step 4 the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations in the contract; and lastly Step 5 consists of recognising revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligations.

The Group has assessed the application of IFRS 15 and does not expect any impact to arise therefrom and, therefore, does not consider it necessary to apply it retrospectively, restating the comparative information. The Group has analysed substantially all of the contracts in force with its customers, which in the case of private sales in the real estate activity involve, for the most part, standard clauses, and identified the delivery of the property asset units sold as the main performance obligation and the transaction price as that set out in the private contract entered into before delivery of the housing unit. Based on this analysis the adoption of this new standard will not have a significant impact in terms of revenue recognition since the transfer of ownership takes place when the keys are delivered which coincides with the execution of the transaction in a deed before a notary and buyer's settlement of or subrogation to the developer loan, as the case may be. The property asset sale transactions which due to their characteristics, do not follow the normal sales pattern because of the size of the transaction or due the characteristics of the asset, will be subject to caseby-case analysis depending on the revenue recognition terms and conditions agreed upon when control over the assets is transferred. Sales warranties cannot be purchased separately and are required by law. Consequently, the Company will continue to recognise warranties and insurance contracts in accordance with IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. No supplementary warranties are provided in addition to those required by law which, under IFRS 15, are considered to be service warranties and should, therefore, be recognised as a stand-alone performance obligation to which the Group must allocate a portion of the asset's selling price. The incremental costs of obtaining a sales contract, basically the sales commissions of the property development's agents, are recognised as a collection right until each unit being sold is executed in a deed, as they are reimbursable if the sales embodied in private sale and purchase agreements are not fulfilled. Other necessary or incremental contract costs might exists when entering into the nrivate sale and purchase agreements (such as the costs associated with the guarantees provided to secure advances received from customers) which it is not practical to capitalise, but which could be revalued on the basis of changes in borrowing costs in the future, if it were considered that they contribute to improved matching between income and expenses. The uncapitalised expenses associated with costs of this type amounted to EUR 464 thousand in 2017.

With regard to the provision of services within the framework if the servicing contract with various Kutxabank Group companies for the management and sale of the Group's assets, the agreements between the parties define the services and the accrual of the transactions and the price thereof are agreed contractually in such a way that estimating them is not complicated as they are indexed to objective variables that do not require complex calculations (carrying amount of the assets under management and of the sales performed) and hence are estimated at closing. In this case, revenue from the rendering of management services is recognised over time as they are provided on a continuous basis while success fees established contractually are accrued at a point in time.

As well as providing more extensive disclosures on the entity's revenue transactions, no other significant impacts on the entity's financial situation or profit or loss are expected.

IFRS 9

IFRS 9 will supersede IAS 39 for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. There are very significant differences with respect to the current standard for the recognition and measurement of financial Instruments. However, the only difference applicable to the Group is that in relation to Impairment losses on financial assets, since IFRS 9 requires the application of a model based on the expected credit loss, as opposed to the model In IAS 39 which is based on incurred credit losses. Under this model, the entity will update the expected loss and the changes therein at each reporting date to reflect the changes in credit risk since initial recognition; therefore, it is no longer necessary for an impairment event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised. In addition, any future changes in the contractual cash flows of a financial liability not leading to the derecognition of the financial liability must be recognised as a change in estimate of the contractual cash flows of the llability, maintaining the original effective Interest rate and adjusting its carryIng amount to enable the recognition of a balancing entry in profit or loss,

The Group measures its assets at amortised cost since the business model is to hold assets in order to collect the contractual cash flows. The Group intends to apply IFRS 9 retrospectively, without restating the comparative information, in accordance with the new impairment model based on the expected credit loss over the next twelve months, the Group considers that the financial assets measured at amortised cost will be subject to impairment, taking into consideration the facts and circumstances that existed at that date as indicated below in accordance with a preliminary assessment, since It is still completing Its expected credit loss model and this would result in a reduction in the amount of reserves at 1 January 2018 (in thousands of euros):

Concept 31/12/2017 Estimated loss at 12
months (%) (*)
Estimated loss at 12
months at 31/12/2017
Clients - servicing (Note 13) 9.977 0,02%
Advances to creditors (Note 13) 10.501 3% 315
Advances to suppliers (Note 12) 3.020 0,02%-3% 36
Cash (Note 14) 76.822 0,02%-0,06% 20
TOTAL 100.320 37.

(*) The estimate was made taking into consideration the credit rating of the counterparties issued by agencies of recognised prestige. In the estimation of the expected loss on advances to suppliers, the Group opted to recognise a provision for 3% of the total amount of advances delivered, since no public individual credit rating is available

IFRS 16

IFRS 16 will come into force on 1 January 2019 and will supersede IAS 17 and the current associated interpretations. The main development of IFRS 16 is that it introduces a single lessee accounting model in which all leases with an impact similar to that of the existing finance leases (depreciation of the right-of-use asset and a finance cost for the amortised cost of the liability) will be recognised. The Group is assessing the total effect that application of IFRS 16 will have on the entity's consolidated financial statements. IAS 17 does not require the recognition of any right-of-use asset or liability for future payments under these leases; however, certain information is disclosed, such as operating lease obligations, in Note 4.e to the consolidated financial statements. A preliminary assessment indicates that these arrangements will meet the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 and, therefore, the entity will recognise a right-of-use asset and the related liability unless they qualify as low-value or short-term leases under IFRS 16. On the basis of the leases in force at 31 December 2017, it is considered that the new requirements of IFRS 16 will not have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements. It is not possible to provide a reasonable estimate of the financial effect until this analysis has been completed. Management does not intend to apply this standard early and, at the date of this publication, no decision has yet been made as to the option that will be applied at the date of transition.

c) Changes in accounting policies

In the exercise ended 31 December 2017, there were no significant changes in accounting policies with respect to those applied in the exercise ended 31 December 2016.

d) Functional currency

These financial statements are presented in euros as this is the currency of the primary economic area in which the Group operates. Currently, the Group does not have foreign operations.

e) Responsibility for the information and estimates made

The information contained in these financial statements is the responsibility of the directors of the Group's Parent.

In the Group's consolidated financial statements for the 12 months period ended 31 December 2017 estimates were occasionally made by the senior executives of the Group and of the consolidated companies, and later ratified by the directors, in order to quantify certain assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments reported herein. These estimates relate basically to the following:

    1. The fair value of the Group's Real Estate assets (see Notes 9 and 12). The Group has obtained valuations from independent experts in 2017 for all of its Real Estate assets, describing the valuation method used in Note 4.f.
    1. The assessment of possible impairment losses on certain assets.
    1. The useful life of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and investment property (see Notes 7, 8 and 9).
    1. The amount of certain provisions (see Note 16).
    1. The recoverability of deferred tax assets (see Note 20).
    1. The valuation of long-term employee benefits (see Note 15.f),

Although these estimates were made on the basis of the best information available at 31 December 2017, future events may require them to be modified prospectively (upwards or downwards), in accordance with IAS 8. The effects of any change would be recognized in the corresponding consolidated income statement.

No significant changes were made to the estimates used at 2016 year-end during the period ended on 31 December 2017,

f) Consolidation principles

Subsidiaries are considered to be those companies over which the Parent directly or indirectly exercises control through subsidiaries. The Parent has control over a subsidiary when it is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary, and when it has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The Parent has power when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the ablity to direct the relevant activities of the subsidiary. The Parent is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary when its returns from its Involvement have the potential to vary as a result of the subsidiary's performance. Currently, all of the subsidiaries have been fully consolidated.

Non-controlling interests are measured at the proportionate fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities recognised. The share of non-controlling interests is as follows:

    1. Interest in Investees' equity is presented "Non-controlling interests" under equity in the consolidated balance sheet.
    1. Share of profit or loss for the year is presented in "Non-controlling interests" in the consolidated income statement.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated Income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

All material balances and transactions between the fully consolidated companies and the results included in inventories arising from purchases from other Group companies have been eliminated on consolidation.

No timing adjustments have been necessary since the balance sheet date of all the Group companies is the same.

g) First-time consolldation differences

On acquisition, the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. Any deficiency of the cost of acquisition below the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired (I.e. a discount on acquisition) is taken to profit and loss for the period. First consolldated financial statements did not Imply recognizing any goodwill or gain.

h) Changes in the scope of consolidation

There were no changes in the scope of consolidation of the Neinor Homes Group (comprising Neinor Homes, S.A. and its subsidiaries) for the exercises ended 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016.

i) Comparative information

The information relating to the 2017 consolidated financial statements is presented for comparison purposes with that relating to period ended 31 December 2016.

As described in Note 24, in 2016, the Group considered the Chief Executive Officer as Senior Management, as he had simultaneously the status of the Board and Senior Management, thus disclosure was performed according to this criterion. During 2017, on the occasion of the beginning of trading (Note 1) and subsequently to the reorganisation of the Board of Directors, it has been considered appropriate to consider the Chief Executive Officer as a member of the Board of Directors. Directors who have direct dependence of the Board and, in any case, the internal auditor, should be classified as Senior Management. The information relating to period ended 31 December 2016 has been modified for comparative purposes, adequately (see Note 24).

In addition, any comparison must take into account the Group financial structure as per indicated in Notes 15 and 17. Likewise, the effect of the incentive plans approved in 2017 must be taken into account (see Notes 4.f, 4.s and 22.c).

j) Correction of errors

In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements no errors were detected that would have made it necessary to restate the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements for year ended 31 December 2016.

3. Distribution/Application of profits/losses attributable to the Parent

The distribution/application of profits/losses proposed by the Parent's directors for approval by its shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, is as follows:

Thousands of euros
31.12.17 31.12.16
Basis of distribution:
Profit / (ioss) for the year
1,262 12.429
Application:
-To legal reserve
126 1.243
-To voluntary reserves 1.136 11.186
1.262 12.429

Measurement bases ่

The accounting principles and policies and measurement bases applied in preparing the Neinor Homes Group's consolidated financial statements for the exercises ended 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016 were as follows:

a) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are identifiable non-monetary assets, without physical substance, which arise as a result of a legal transaction or which are developed by the consolidated companies. Only assets whose cost can be estimated reasonably objectively and from which the consolidated companies consider It probable that future economic benefits will be generated are recognised.

Intangible assets are recognised initially at acquisition or production cost and are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

b) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment assets are recognised initially at acquisition/contribution or production cost and are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

The costs of expansion, modernisation or improvements leading to increased productivity, capacity or efficiency or to a lengthening of the useful lives of the assets are capitalised as an increase in the cost of corresponding assets.

Maintenance and repair costs that do not lead to a lengthening of the useful lives of the assets are charged to the income statement for the period In which they are incurred.

Interest and other financial charges incurred during the period of construction of property, plant and equipment are recognised as an increase in the cost of the construction in progress (see section n) of this Note).

Depreciation Is calculated by applying the straight-line method to the acquisition cost of assets less their residual value. The land on which Group buildings and other structures stand is deemed to have an Indefinite useful life and, therefore, is not depreciated.

The periods of which the property, plant and equipment depreciation charges are recognised in the consolidated income statement on the basis of the average years of estimated useful life of the various assets, are as follows:

Annual rate
Straight-line depreciation method:
Other installations
15%
Furniture 15%
Data processing equipment 30%
Other Items of property, plant and equipment 15%

Assets under construction for production or administrative purposes, or for purposes not yet determined, are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment losses. Cost includes professional fees. Depreciation of these assets commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Assets other than investment property held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, the term of the relevant lease.

Costs incurred in rented assets (the Group acting as an operating lessee) are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, the term of the relevant lease.

At the end of each reporting period, consolidated companies assess whether there are any internal or external indications that the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment exceeds its recoverable amount, in which case the carrying amount of the asset is written down to the recoverable amount and the future depreciation charges are adjusted in proportion to the revised carrying amount and the new remaining useful life, should it need to be remeasured.

Similarly, if there is an indication of a recovery in the value of an impaired asset, the consolidated companies recognise the reversal of the impairment loss previously recorded and adjust the future depreciation charges accordingly. In no circumstances may the reversal of an impairment loss on an asset raise its carrying amount above that which it would have if no impairment losses had been recognised in prior years.

c) Investment property

"Investment Property" in the consolidated balance sheet reflects the values of the land, buildings and other structures held either to earn rentals or for capital appreciation.

These assets are recognised initially at acquisition price or production cost and are subsequently decreased by the corresponding accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

A change in the intended use of a property does not provide sufficient evidence for its transfer to, or from, investment property. There is a transfer between inventories and investment property when there is a change in the use of a property evidenced by the commencement of a lease agreement in relation to it, in which case it would be transferred from inventories to investment property, or when a real estate development in relation to the property in question commences with a view to subsequent sale, in which case it would be transferred from investment property to inventories. When the Group decides to dispose of an investment property without development, it continues to treat the property as an investment property until it is disposed of. On the other hand, if the Group decides to redevelop a property for subsequent lease, the property remains an investment property during the redevelopment.

Investment property upkeep and maintenance expenses are recognised in the income statement for the year in which they are incurred. However, the costs of improvements leading to increased capacity or efficiency or to a lengthening of the useful lives of the assets are capitalised.

The costs of expansion, modernisation or improvements leading to increased productivity, capacity or efficiency or to a lengthening of the useful lives of the assets are capitalised. Maintenance and repair expenses are recognised with a charge to the consolidated income statement for the year in which they are incurred.

The Group depreciates these assets by the straight-line method at annual rates based on the years of estimated useful life of the assets, the detail being as follows:

Years of
useful life
Buildings 30

At the end of each reporting period or whenever there are indications of impairment, the Company calculates the recoverable amount of these assets as described in Note 4.d. No significant differences are noted between the market value of these assets and their net book value.

d) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, investment property and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Neinor Homes Group reviews the carrying amounts of its items of property, plant and equipment, investment property and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exist, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impalment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cashincreased same increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unlt) in proor years.

Impairment has been calculated in accordance with the criteria described in Note 4.f. Also, in the case of leased real estate assets, the Group uses a mixed criterion. Since they are linked to commercial operations, the most appropriate methodology is considered to be the discurned cash flows model considering the inflows and outflows arising from the operation of the asset determined by its lease status. An exit value is determined when the lease expires or considering the perlods, in any case, of mandatory application, calculated by recognising the perpetual return of the last year analysed or a market-based return, once the characteristics and contractual terms and conditions of the assets have been analysed, considering the constant return. The vield used as a discount rate will be determined as the yield demanded by the market when the valuation is made based on the specific features of the assets.

e) Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the leases transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lesses are clases are classified as operating leases.

Operating leases

In operating leases, the ownership of the leased asset and substantially all the risks and rewards relating to the leased asset remain with the lessor.

When consolidated entities act as lessors, they present the fair value of the leased asset under "Investment property". Lease income is recognised in the income statements on a straight-line basis.

When consolidated entities act as the lessee, lease costs, including any incentives granted by the lessor, are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis.

Any benefits from incentives received or receivable for arranging an operating lease are also recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

At the end of 2017 and 2016, the Group had contracted with lessors for the following minimum Act the end of Eco In the leases currently in force, without taking into account the charging lof common expenses, future increases in the CPI or future contractual lease payment revisions (in thousands of euros):

f) Inventories

*Inventories" in the consolidated balance sheet include assets that the consolidated companies:

  1. Hold for sale in the ordinary course of business.

  2. Hold under production, construction or development for sale in the ordinary course of business.

  3. Expect to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering of services.

The Group considers that its inventories do not meet the requirements of IAS 40 for consideration rno croup as a money and other property, land and other property held for sale or for inclusion in a property development are treated as inventories.

Land and sites are measured at the lower of acquisition cost, plus site development costs, if any, Eallia and Sites the modular of a vifer tax, registration expenses, etc.) and finance costs incurred over the period the urban development work is being carried out (see section n) of this Note), or estimated market value.

The costs incurred in property developments, or in portions thereof, the construction of which had not been completed at year-end, are classified as construction in progress. These costs include costs relating to the site, urban development and construction costs, capitalised finance costs incurred in the construction period, and other allocable direct and indirect costs. Marketing expenses are charged to the consolidated income statement in the year in which they are incurred. Finance costs, which amounted to EUR 1.893 thousand in 2017, were recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as a reduction of the financial profit and related to

expenses associated with developments in Progress (552 thousands of euros in 2016)(see Note 4-n).

The Group companies transfer the accumulated costs of completed developments, or a portion thereof, from "Construction work In progress" to "Completed properties".

The inventories transferred to the Neinor Homes Group by virtue of the contributions made in the context of the transaction described in Note 1 are recognised initially at the amount assigned to them in the related transfer agreements. This amount coincides with the carrying amount at which these inventories had been recognised in the accounting records of the contributing companies, considering their acquisition cost or their net recoverable value, the lower.

"Short-Cycle Developments in Progress" are considered to be the accumulated costs of those developments for which the projected construction completion period does not exceed twelve months.

The cost of construction in progress and completed work is reduced to its fair value and, where appropriate, the related allowance for decline in value is recognised. However, if the faily wille is greater than the net value of the cost, the value of the cost/contribution is maintained,

The falr value of the Group's inventories is calculated on the basis of appraisals carried out by independent experts not related to the Group (Savills Consultores Inmobiliarios, S.A.) ove internal estimates. These appraisals or estimates use mainly the dynamic residual method to calculate the fair value and are carried out in accordance with the Appraisal and Valuation Standards issued by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in the United Kingdom and the International Valuation Standards (IVS) issued by the International Valuation Standards Committee (IVSC).

As indicated prevlously, the dynamic residual method was used to calculate fair value. This method consists of estimating the value of the final product based on the comparison or discounted cash flow method, and subtracting from this value the development costs, including the residential development and construction costs, fees, levies, etc., and the profit of the developer for estimating the residual value. Income and costs are distributed over time in line with the periods of development and sales estimated by the expert. The discount rate used is that which represents the average annual return on the project, without taking into account external financing, which would be obtained by an average developer in a development of the characteristics of that analyzed. This discount rate is calculated by adding the vision of the determined by evaluating the risk of the development (taking into account the type of property asset to be constructed, its location, liquidity, the construction period and the investment volume required) to the risk-free interest rate.

Given the uncertainties inherent to any information based on future expectations, there could be deviations between the projected results considered when performing the aforementioned estimates and the actual ones, what may require them to be modified prospectively (upwards or downwards), as described in Note 2.e.

At 31 December 2017, all its "Development" assets had been appraised by an independent expert (all its assets in 2016), having taken the aforementioned value as a reference when assessing the existence of any impairment losses to be recognised for accounting purposes, adjusted, in certain cases, by tolerances of five percent; the effect thereof was not significant taken as a whole All Its "Legacy" assets had been appraised by an internal analysis to determine the recoverable value.

In this respect, the most significant aspects considered in the appraisals were as follows:

Development assets-

The appraisals were conducted on a case-by-case basis for each asset, taking into consideration the building qualities envisaged for each one, which in turn determine the associated contracting costs and range of sale prices. Also, for each individual asset, the average periods for achieving the various urban planning, management and discipline milestones, as well as the average construction periods for each development depending on the building type and density were taken into account.

Lastly, the discount rate associated with each project was calculated, and a sensitivity analysis East, Inc. Chebeller rate depending on the zoning status of the developments at that time. The discount rates vary according to the development stage reached by the asset (plot without development, under construction, with pre-sales or finished), with rates ranging between 6% (for work in progress with pre-sales) and 18% (for certain urban plots) in 2017 (between 8% and 14% in 2016).

Once a preliminary estimate has been made of the value of the assets, a review of the valuation models is performed, verifying the reasonableness of the ratios, such as the percentage of the finished product represented by the plot, the profit on the construction cost or the profit obtained according to sales.

Other parameters are also set in each of the appraisals, the main ones being as follows:

Advance sales before the start of the construction of the developments were not taken into consideration.

It was estimated that 70% - 75% of the sales (pre-sales off plan, in a private sale and purchase agreement) will be carried out during the construction of the developments and the remaining sales within nine months following completion thereof.

Increases in sale prices over the existing market prices were not taken into consideration.

It is estimated that 33/36 months could elapse between the time necessary for the drafting of the project and the obtainment of the construction permit, construction and delivery of the project, and the end of the marketing and sale of the units.

Legacy assets

This type of asset was analyse basically using the comparison method, except in the case of plots or developments exceeding approximately 30 units, which were valued in accordance with the methodology described above for "development assets".

In addition, the assumptions used to value these assets were as follows:

  • They are insured and all the risks relating to possible replacements are covered, and they are in a sufficient physical and functioning state for current use.
  • They are not subject to court proceedings, disputes, evictions of tenants with or without agreements or outstanding claims of any kind with significant impact on the consolidated accounts.

g) Trade receivables

Trade receivables do not earn interest and are stated at their nominal value, less any allowances for estimated unrecoverable amounts.

h) Customer advances

The amount of the advances received from customers prior to recognition of the sales of the properties, according to the criteria indicated in note 4.m, is recognised at year-end under "Other current liabilities- Customer advances" on the liability side of the consolidated balance sheet.

i) Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the Group's consolidated balance sheet when the Group becomes party to the contractual terms of the instrument.

During the exercises ended 31 December 2017 and 2016 the measurement bases applied by the Group to its financial instruments were as follows:

Financial assets

Financial assets are initially recognised at cost, including attributable transaction costs.

The financial assets held by Group companies are classified as:

    1. Held-to-maturity investments: financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity. The Group has the positive intention and ablily to hold them from the date of purchase to the date of maturity. This category does not include loans and accounts receivable originated by the Group.
    1. Loans and receivables originated by the Group: financial assets originated by Group companies in exchange for supplying cash, goods or services directly to a debtor. These are measured at amortised cost.

Held-to-maturity financial assets, and loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost.

Financial assets are derecognised from the consolidated balance sheet by the different Group companies when the contractual rights on the cash flows of the financial asset expire or when substantially all the risks and benefits inherent to ownership of the financial asset are transferred.

At each balance-sheet date, the Group assesses whether there is any objective evidence of Impairment of financial assets. The Group assesses whether there is any objective of impalrment for loans and accounts receivable.

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group.

The main financial liabilities held by Group companies are held-to-maturity financial liabilities, measured at amortised cost.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised in equity at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Bank loans

Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recognised at the amount received, net of direct issue costs. Finance costs, including premiums payable on settlement or reimbursement and direct issue costs, are recognised in the consolidated income statement on an accrual basis using the effective interest method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that they are not settled in the period in which they arise.

Trade payables

Trade payables are not interest bearing and are stated at their nominal value.

In relation to non-recourse confirming, the International Reporting Standards (`IFRS') do not explicitly state the accounting treatment applicable to the aforementioned transactions.

According to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) these types of transactions (also called "reverse factoring") should be analyzed depending on the economic substance of the agreements, so that issuers can conclude whether the trade debt should be classified as financial debt within the Statements of financial position, or payments made should be classified as financial or operational within the Cash flow statements.

Consequently, provided that there are no material changes to the conditions of the trade debt (for example, to the due date, the amount or the interest rates, if applicable), the fact that due to the use of confirming, the new legal creditor is a financial institution instead of the supplier, does not change the economic character of the debt that arose from the operational activities of the Group company, regardless of whether it originated from an external or a group supplier.

This is the accounting policy chosen by the Group, and an amount of EUR 3.748 thousand was drawn down at 31 December 2017 (EUR 0 at 31 December 2016) (Note 17).

i) Shares of the Parent

All the shares of the Parent held by consolidated companies are deducted from equity.

At 31 December 2017, the Parent Company held 228.798 treasury shares and none of the subsidiaries or associates held additional treasury shares (31 December 2016, neither the Parent nor any of the subsidiaries or associates held treasury shares) (See Note 16.d).

k) Provisions

The Group's consolidated financial statements include all the material provisions with respect to which it is considered that it is more likely than not that the obligation will have to be settled. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the consolidated annual financial statements, but are disclosed, as required by IAS 37.

Provisions, which are quantified on the basis of the best information avallable on the consequences of the event giving rise to them and are reviewed and adjusted at the end of each year, are used to meet the specific obligations for which they were originally recognised. Provisions are fully or partially reversed when such obligations cease to exist or are reduced.

At the end of the exercises ended 31 December 2017 and 2016 certain litigation and claims were in process against the consolidated companies arising from the ordinary course of their operations. The Group's legal advisers and directors consider that the provisions recorded are sufficlent and that the outcome of these proceedings and claims will not have any additional material effect on the financlal statements for the years in which they are settled (see Note 21),

Provisions for warranties

Provisions for warranty costs, particularly after-sales expenses, other costs and the ten-year guarantee required under Spanish regulations governing real estate companies, are recognised at the date of sale of the relevant products, in line with the best estimate of the expendlure required to settle the Group's potential llability, according to market experience.

I) Income tax

The Parent files consolidated income tax returns under Income Tax Provincial Regulation 11/2013, of 5 December, and forms part of tax group no. 02115BSC headed by Neinor Holdings, S.L.U. (see Note 20). The Group companies Neinor Península, S.L.U. and Neinor Sur S.L.U. file their tax returns separately, since they do not belong to the aforementloned consolidated tax group.

Due to Neinor Homes, S.A. admission to listing and Neinor Holdings, S.L.U's loss of participation there has been a breakdown of the Tax Group. On November 3 2017, the new Fiscal Group (number 02117BSC) headed by Neinor Homes, S.A. was approved. The Tax Group will pay income on a tax consolidation basis with effect from 1 January 2017 in accordance with Article 99.2 of Bizkaia Corporation Tax Regulation 11/2013, of 5 December.

On 13 December 2017, Neinor Norte, S.L.U., as the sole shareholder of Promoclones Neinor 1, S.L., Promociones Neinor 2, S.L., Promociones Neinor 3, S.L., Promociones Neinor 4, S.L., and Promociones Neinor 5, S.L., decided to change the registered office of the aforementioned companies, which will be located in Madrid. As a result, since it does not meet the requirements to file consolidated tax returns in Vizcaya, on 20 December 2017, Neinor Homes, S.A., as the head of the tax group, notified the tax authorities that the legislation applicable to the aforementioned investees of Neinor Norte, S.L. for the tax periods commencing on or after 1 January 2017 will be that of Spain (excluding Navarra and the Basque Country). Therefore, in 2017 the Vizcaya consolldated tax group no. 02117BSC was made up of Neinor Homes, S.A. as the parent and Neinor Norte, S.L.U. as subsidiary.

Neinor Península, S.L.U. and Neinor Sur, S.A.U. file individual tax returns pursuant to Spanish Income Tax Law 27/2014, of 27 November.

The consolidated income tax expense is recognised in the consolidated income statement, unless it arises as a consequence of a transaction the result of which is recorded directly in equity, in which case the income tax expense is also recognised in equity.

The consolidated income tax expense for the year is calculated on the basis of taxable profit for the year. The taxable profit differs from the net profit reported in the income statement because it excludes revenue and expense items which are taxable or deductible in different years and also excludes items that will never be taxable or deductible. The Group's current tax liability is calculated on the basis of tax rates that have been approved or substantially approved at the date of the consolidated balance sheet.

The Group companies file consolidated income tax returns and in this process they apply the following rules: temporary differences arising in the calculation of the consolidated tax base arising from the transactions between companies composing the tax group, provided that such results have not been realised vis-à-vis third parties, are recognised by the company that had recognised the result; permanent differences (e.g. due to the elimination of dividends paid among companies in the tax group) or temporary differences arising in the calculation of the consolidated tax base are recognised as a permanent or temporary difference by the company that had recognised the result, and any tax losses and tax credits and rebates offset or used by the companies composing the tax group are recognised as an account receivable or payable between the reporting company and the companies that offset and/or use them.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the amounts expected to be recoverable or payable calculated on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the tax bases used in calculating the taxable profit. They are recognised using the consolidated balance sheet liability method and are quantified by applying to the related temporary difference or tax asset the tax rates at which it is expected that the asset will be realised or the liability settled.

A deferred tax asset or liability is recognised for temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates and from interests in joint ventures, except when the Group is in a position to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

However:

    1. Deferred tax assets are only recognised if it is considered probable that the consolidated companies will have sufficient future taxable profits against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized, considering, in any case, market expectations and in a restricted way, so the Deferred tax assets are recognised only once there is a consolidated improvement of the Real Estate sector.
    1. No deferred tax liabilities are recognised for goodwill arising on an acquisition.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to verify that they remain in force, and the appropriate adjustments are made on the basis of the results of the review, considering their temporary and quantitative limits, if there were any, for its application.

m) Revenue and expense

Revenue and expenses are recognised on an accrual basis.

Revenue is measured at the falr value of the consideration receivable and represents balances receivable for goods dellvered and services rendered in the ordInary course of business, less discounts, VAT and other sales taxes.

Rental revenue is recognised on an accrual basis, with incentive benefits, and the initial lease costs are allocated to income on a straight-line basis.

The Group companies recognise property development sales and the related cost when the properties are handed over and title thereto has been transferred. For these purposes, the sale of a residential finished product is understood to have occurred when the keys are handed over, which coincides with the execution of the public deed and final collection of the price.

The Group recognises land sales when the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, which is generally the date the deed of sale is executed, as long as a substantial part has been disbursed (nearly 50%) or the unrealized gain has been granted against the compensation contractually settled. Otherwise, the sell will not be considered as recognized for accounting purposes. If the sale made is subject to fulfilment of a genulne condition precedent, the sale is not recognised until such time as it is fulfilled.

The Group can make purchases of land subject to conditions subsequent and precedent. If there are conditions precedent, the contract comes into force when the condition is fulfilled and, in turn, the contract becomes effective. The amounts paid in the context of contracts subject to conditions precedent are recognised as "Advances to Suppliers" and as such are subject to the measurement standard applicable to trade recelvables. If there are conditions subsequent, the fulfilment of the condition marks the extinction of the contract and, therefore, the Group assesses the probability associated with the condition and the party on which the fulfilment of the condition depends, for the purposes of recognising the rights and obligations associated with the contract over time.

The cost allocated to the units up for sale of a property development is determined by allocating to each unlt being sold the portion of the total costs of the development that results from applying to them the same proportion that their selling price represents In relation to the estimated value of the development taken as a whole.

The amounts received from customers on account of future sales of land and/or buildings, both in cash and commercial bills, to the extent that the recognition of the sale does not occur in the terms described above, are recognised, as the case may be, as advances received under "Customer Advances" under current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet,

Revenue from the rendering of services Is recognised by reference to the percentage or stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period, provided the outcome of the transaction can be estimated reliably. Revenue from the Group's services are those associated with the contract for the administration and management of real estate assets entered into with Kutxabank and described in Note 1 under exclusivity conditions, which also includes urban planning and marketing services. As consideration for these services, the various companies in the real estate area of Kutxabank will pay a fixed remuneration based on the type and volume of the assets (a reference value being established between the parties) for the management and administration thereof, while a varlable success remuneration will be received for their marketing

as well as other variable revenue accrued annually in the event of achieving the sales objectives established between the parties, which vary according to whether they are less than 70% thereof, equal to 70% or above 70%; to this is added the variable remuneration linked to the request for execution of certain specific actions relating to assets such as work requested in relation to the analysis of the incorporation of new assets under management or services associated with thirdparty assets at the request of Kutxabank. If over two successive years the degree of achievement of the objectives were below 30%, the right to exclusivity in relation to marketing would be lost. The objective has been achieved at the end of the reporting period 2017, as well as in 2016.

Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount.

Dividend revenue from investments is recognised when shareholders' rights to receive payment have been established.

n) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or production of property developments or property investments are added to the costs of these assets, only during periods when an effective development occurs (idle periods are excluded) and 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 penditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

In the years ended 31 December 2017, the Group capitalised borrowing costs amounting to EUR 1.893 thousand to "Inventories" (552 thousand in 2016) (see Note 12).

All other borrowing costs are recognised in the consolidated income statement in the period in which they are incurred.

o) Profit from operations

The profit from operations is presented before the share of results of associates (companies accounted for using the equity method) and before investment income and finance costs.

p) Termination benefits

Under current labour legislation, the Group companies are required to pay termination benefits to employees whose contracts are terminated under certain conditions. Neither as of 31 December 2017 nor 31 December 2016 is a provision for termination benefits recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

q) Consolidated cash flow statements

The consolidated cash flow statements have been prepared using the indirect method and the terms used are defined as follows:

  1. Cash flows: inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents, which are short-term, highly liquid investments that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

    1. Operating activities: the principal revenue-producing activities of the entities composing the consolidated Group and other activities that are not investing or financing activities.
    1. Investing activities: the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other Investments not Included in cash and cash equivalents, if they have a direct impact on current cash flows.
    1. Financing activities: activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the equity and liabilities that are not operating activities, if they have a direct impact on current cash flows.

Within the consolidated statement of cash flows, the amounts of EUR 9.032 thousand and EUR 1.935 thousand are adjusted to the consolidated profit for the year before taxes cash as cash flows from operating activities, corresponding to the management incentive plan and other equity movements, respectively, as there are no monetary flows. This criterion has been established following the applicable standards. However, the Parent Company understands these operations as an implicit financing flow applied to the flows of operating activities, as it mainly corresponds to a single transaction in cash and shares, and therefore indivisible. The reconciliation between both consolidated statement of cash flows is broken down in the following table:

Inputs / {Outputs}
Monetary flow Adjusted flow Variation
Cash flows from operating activities (186.426) (197.393) 10.967
Cash flows from investing activities 10-524 10.524

r) Current assets and liabilities

The Group has opted to present current assets and liabilities in accordance with its ordinary course of business. The current assets and liabilities with estimated maturities of over twelve months are as follows:

s) Share-based payments

During 2017, before its shares went public in the stock market, the Board of Directors of Neinor Holdings, S.L.U. (Previous single shareholder of the group) agreed to an incentive plan for the CEO and five members of the executive team of the Neinor Homes Group, which includes fixed and variable remuneration payable partly in cash and the rest in shares of the Group held by Lone Star through Neinor Holdings, S.L.U. One portion of the incentive will be a fixed amount and will accrue as a result of the admission to listing of the Parent (exit bonus, a fixed amount, for a total of EUR 14 million, approximately, of which EUR 5.1 million are payable in cash on the date of the stock market flotation and the rest in shares at a pre-set fixed price to be delivered in equal parts on each of the two anniversaries of the flotation) and the other portion, variable, for a maximum total amount of EUR 13.5 million, to be delivered in shares, in a number to be determined based on the share price on each of the three anniversaries following the initial takeover bid and the accrual of which is subject to the achievement of annual increases in the share price during the last trimester prior to each of the three anniversaries of the potential stock market flotation (the first reference date being the date of admission to listing on the stock exchanges), subject in certain cases to minimum holding commitments, with the possibility of accrual in proportion to the share price revaluations obtained on certain circumstances. Notwithstanding the above, if at any given time during three years following the potential stock market flotation the shares trading price reaches 152,09% of the initial share price (adjusted), the variable amount not already accrued, will entirely accrue. In any event, it is established that the remuneration will be delivered to them directly by Neinor Holdings, S.L.U. Bearing in mind payment of these bonuses will be made in full by Neinor Holdings, S.L.U. (sole shareholder of the Company until its flotation), the Group will recognise on an accrual basis the corresponding contribution of the shareholder to consolidated equity for the same amount under "Staff Costs" from 2017 amounting to EUR 18.952 thousand, of which EUR 14.373 thousand have been paid in 2017, and EUR 4.579 thousand are remuneration payable at year end). The assistance of an external appraiser was used for the accounting recognition of the variable portion. Applying the Monte Carlo method and, in view of the absence of a reasonable trading period that could be considered as a benchmark by the Parent, taking into consideration the share price volatility of companies in the European real estate industry over a comparable period, the external appraiser estimated that the fair value of the aforementioned variable portion amounted to approximately, EUR 8.1 million.

Also, it has been approved a long-term incentive plan payable in full in shares for 40 key employees, approximately, including members of the Management Committee and the CEO, consisting of three consecutive overlapping three-year periods, i.e. 2017-2019, 2018-2020 and 2019-2021 in which the achievement measurement metrics are, in thirds, EBITDA, the developer margin and shareholder return, with a downward correction coefficient of 10% regarding the achievement of the aforementioned metrics determined by the evolution of the average Loan to Value (LTV) ratio in excess of a target ratio. Minimum amounts below which the incentives do not accrue and the possibility of an extra bonus of up to 150% were established. The sale of the number of shares thus acquired is restricted for periods of between one year and six months for the CEO and the members of the management committee. The shares to be received by each participant will be determined by the incentive attributed to each participant in the plan (in ranges of between EUR 10 thousand and EUR 250 thousand), the price of the shares for each three-year period (average of the share price in the 20 trading sessions prior to the commencement of each cycle) and by the achievement of objectives (range between 0% and 150%). Shares acquired under this plan are subject to lock-up commitments for periods of one year and 6 months for both the CEO and members of the management committee. In the case of the CEO and members of the management committee, this incentive is subject to a repayment clause if certain circumstances arise. The cost of this long-term incentive plan will be assumed by Neinor Homes

Group, and has resulted in the recording of an employee benefits expense of 667 thousand euros in 2017, with a balancing entry in the equity of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet (see Note 22.c). The Directors of the Parent Company have estimated that the fair value of the aforementioned plan amounts to approximately EUR 2 million for the 2017-2019 trenning Likewise, on 22 January 2018, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee approved the amount of the plan for the 2018-2020 triennium, setting it at EUR 2 million for all the members and the period.

There are no additional share-based incentive plans for employees.

t) Related party transactions

The Group performs all its transactions with related parties on an arm's length basis. Also, the transfer prices are adequately supported and, therefore, the Parent's directors consider that there are no material risks in this connection that might give rise to significant liabilities in the fittere (see Note 23).

In case significant differences arise between the established price and the fair value of a transaction between related companies, this difference would be considered the distribution of results or contribution of funds between the Company and the aforementioned related company and as such, It would be registered in reserves. However, if they correspond to transactions held with the shareholders, these will be recorded in the consolidated income statement in proportion to the shareholder's participation on the date of the transaction.

5. Earnings / {loss} per share

a) Basic earnings / (loss) per share

Basic earnings / (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net profit/ (loss) for the year attributable to the Group (i.e., after tax and non-controlling interests) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during that year.

Accordingly:

Thousands of euros
31.12.17 31.12.16
Eamings / (loss) for the year (thousands of euros)
Weighted average number of shares outstanding
(25.934) 1.057
(thousands of shares) (*) (Note 15) 182.788 853.373
Basic earnings/ {loss} per share (euros} (0,142) 0.001

(*) Note: average number of shares adjusted for treasury shares.

b) Diluted earnings/ (loss) per share

Diluted earnings/loss per share is calculated in the same way as basic earnings/loss per share, but the weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted to take into account the potential dilutive effect of share options, warrants and convertible bonds outstanding at year end.

At 31 December 2017 and 2016, the diluted earnings/loss per share of the Neinor Homes Group coincided with the basic earnings/loss per share.

6. Segment reporting

a) Basis of segmentation

Segment reporting is structured based on the Group's various lines of business.

The lines of business described below were established on the basis of the Neinor Homes Group's organisational structure at 2017 year-end, taking into account, on the one hand, the nature of the goods and services offered and, on the other, the customer segments at which they are targeted.

The Neinor Homes Group engages mainly in developing and selling property developments (see Note 1), and the Group distinguishes the results generated from the assets earmarked for property development (included under "Development") from those assets considered as nonstrategic (included under "Legacy"). In addition, in accordance with the asset management and strategic (included and of described in Note 1, the Group provides services of this nature to various Kutxabank Group companies, and the information relating to this segment is included under "Asset Management - Servicing" in Note 6. Rental property activity is recognised as a residual activity for the Group and, therefore, was not considered as an independent line of business for segmentation purposes. Also, it is considered that the assets are not strategic for the Group and so the related assets, liabilities and results are classified under "Legacy".

Income and expenses that cannot be specifically attributed to any operating line or that are the Incorne and arpenses affecting the Group as a whole -and, among them, expenses incurred in room of activities affecting several lines of business- are attributed to a "Corporate Unit/Other" to which the reconciling items arising from the reconciliation of the result of integrating the financial statements of the various lines of business (prepared using a management approach) to the Group's consolidated financial statements are also allocated.

Group's activities at 31 December 2017 and 2016 have been carried out entirely in Spain.

b) Basis and methodology for segment reporting

The segment information below is based on monthly reports prepared by Group management and is generated through the same computer application as that used to obtain all the Group's accounting information This information is reviewed by the Finance Management Committee (on which both management and the sole shareholder are represented) to make decisions on the allocation of resources and to evaluate performance.

Segment revenue is revenue that is directly attributable to the segment. The revenue of each segment does not include interest income, dividends or gains on the sale of property assets.

The expenses of each segment are determined on the basis of the expenses arising from the segment's operating activities that are directly attributable to it (as is the case of "Cost of Sales") "Outside Services" and "Change in Operating Provisions, Allowances and Write-Downs"), plus the relevant proportion of the expenses that may be allocated to the segment using reasonable allocation bases (the latter method is applied to staff costs).

The segment result is presented before any adjustments that might relate to non-controlling interests.

Segment assets and liabilities are those directly related to each segment's operations, plus those that can be directly attributed thereto using the aforementioned allocations, prus chose.
"Accounts Receivable from Rublic Authorition and l'Ocation bases. "Accounts Receivable from Public Authorities" and "Cash and Cash Equivalents", regardless of their origin, are allocated to the "Corporate Unit/Other" line. Liabilities do not include income tax payable.

This credit line is being used to finance acquisition of plots of land.

At 31 December 2017, all the Development assets have been evaluated by an independent expert. The net realisable value determined by "Savills Consultoria Inmobiliaria, S.A." for the inventories and investment property (see Note 9) owned by the Group amounted to approximately EUR 1.610 million (EUR 1.110 million at 31 December 2016).

Considering the external appraiser's methodology described in Note 4.f, the key assumptions identified in the appraisals for the development assets (see Note 6) are the discount rate and the sale prices. In the case of the discount rate a sensitivity of +/- 100 basis points was established, based on the different economic scenarios forecast in the short and medium term, as well norther rate of return that would be required by other developers with different characteristics to the Group. In addition, a positive performance of sale prices was envisaged, while the appraisal models involved conservative as unptions on the current economic situation, that explains the reason why a sensitivity of + 1%/ +5% was set.

Assuming the remaining variables to be constant, the appraised values of development projects and the carrying amount thereof would be affected as follows at 31 December 2017, taking into account the change in the key assumptions (in thousand euros):

Discount Rate Sale Price
Assumption +1% -1% +1% -1% +5% -5%
Increase (Decrease)
Change in appraised values (36.224) 19.621 25.811 (26.300) 129.522 (131.087)
Change in carrying amount (*) (65) 308 273 (21) 1.190 (5.152)

(*) The carrying amount is based on the lower of cost or realisable value. Increases or decreases in the net realisable value are not necessarily accompanied by impacts on the carrying amount of inventories.

The Savills valuation models adopted by the Group are sufficiently conservative and prudent to make it inappropriate to consider sensitivities to a negative price performance. In addition, the directors consider that we are currently undergoing a price growth scenario and the forecasts point towards continuing in that positive direction. However, the Group has performed a sensitivity analysis considering a 1%/ 5% fall in prices in the base scenario without subsequent price growth and the other variables remaining constant.

"Other provisions" caption includes, mainly, amounts set-aside warranty costs, after-sale expenses, as well as other construction costs not yet incurred. These provisions are recognised at the date of sale of the related products according to the Group's best estimate of the possible consideration required to settle the Group's liability.

Also, "For Taxes" caption in the foregoing table includes, mainly, the provisions recognised in relation to the taxes accrued in the period and which, at the reporting dates, have not been settled (mainly property tax) and the provision relating to non-deductible VAT as a result of applying the deductible proportion rule that has not yet been adjusted.

At each reporting date the Group assesses the estimated amounts required for certain liabilities where payment is still not entirely determinable with regard to their exact amount, or the dates on which they will arise are uncertain since they depend on the fulfilment of certain

conditions. Where appropriate, it recognises the related provisions. At 31 December 2017 and December 2016, the Group had not recognised any provisions in this connection since the Perent's directors, and its legal advisors, considered that the possible impacts for the Group arising from these liablities would not be significant. In this connection, at 31 December 2017 there are legal claims in relation with assets owned by the different companies of the Group for a total amount of EUR 983 million (at 31 December 2016 EUR 4,5 million), mainly referred to the return of retentions to suppliers, construction faults repairs and expropriation appraisals contestations, as well as a legal claim for an undetermined amount regarding the contestation of building licenses, which are possible to result in the negative impact for the Group but that, in any case, and according to the agreements arranged in the context of the transaction described in Note 1, would be covered by Kutxabank Group. The directors of the various companies comprising the Neinor Homes Group consider that the provisions made are adequate to cover potential risks in connection with claims under way and that if these risks materialise for amounts higher than these provisions, the additional liabilities would not have a significant impact on the Group's financial statements.

In addition, the limit and maturity of 14 loans contracted during the year 2016 have been extended, and their maturity for the years 2044-2050 has been established.

Credit lines

"Long-Term Bank Borrowings" includes a credit line aimed at providing the Group with additional liquidity for its ordinary operations not directly associated with land purchases. The credit line, which was arranged by the Group's Parent in 2016, has a limit of EUR 30 million and has final maturity in 2019. The credit line has been drawn down in full and the remainder is recognised under "Short -Term Bank Borrowings" as It was established that the limit thereof be reduced by EUR 3 million in 2017, by EUR 9 million in 2018 and by EUR 18 million In 2019.

The agreement expires at one year and bears interest at market rates. The factoring line has a limit of EUR 29 million, although in January 2018 it has been reduced to 15 million euros, and EUR 14.286 thousand had been drawn down at 31 December 2017. The amounts owed to it by virtue of the transactions performed will be used to guarantee the repayment of this financing.

Other loans

On 28 August 2017, the Group signed a financing agreement with J.P. Morgan for EUR 150 million. The loan is for an initial term of 12 months and may be renewed for an additional 12 months. It may be drawn by Neinor Norte, S.L.U., Neinor Sur, S.A.U and Neinor Peninsula, S.L.U, acting Neinor Homes S.A. only as guarantor of this debt.

Covenants and early repayment clauses

In connection with the new borrowings arranged by the Group in 2017 and 2016, and disclosed above, the Group has certain early repayment clauses associated with the loans and credit lines, including most notably the following:

  • · Reduction of the Parent's equity to below EUR 425 million.

In this connection, and for the calculations referred to above, the Group has considered in all cases a maximum legal term of 30 days, no matter which the arranged conditions with the suppliers are.

6. Main risks and uncertaintles

The Company has a risk map. In this connection, the organisation's procedures have been analysed, the possible sources of risk have been identified and, the appropriate measures have been taken to prevent them.

The most significant financial risks are:

Market risk

Exposure to interest rate risk

The Group does not use interest rate hedges.

Most of the loans and credit facilities in the Group's balance sheet are indexed to Euribor.

Exposure to credit risk

The Group does not have significant credit risk exposure to third parties arising from its own development business since it receives payment for substantially all its sales at the time the transaction is executed in a deed through subrogation of the buyer for the corresponding portion of the developer loan or by any other method of the buyer's choice. The credit risk arising from the payment deferrals in land or completed buildings sale transactions are mitigated through the obtainment of guarantees by the buyer or through the establishoment of conditions subsequent in the event of default, which would give rise to the reonvery of ownership of the asset sold and the collection of an indemnity payment.

In general, the Group holds its cash and cash equivalents at banks with high credit ratings.

Exposure to solvency risk

The Group regularly analyses the insolvency risk of its accounts receivable and adjusts the corresponding impairment loss. The Parent's directors consider that the amount of trade and other receivables approximates their fair value.

Exposure to exchange rate risk

In view of the Group's scant international exposure in markets outside the eurozone, its exposure to foreign currency risk is scantly material.

8. Information on the outlook for the entity in 2017

The Group's main lines of action for 2018 focus on:

Development business line

  • · Continuing to acquire land to which a specific use has been assigned in order to increase the land bank, focusing mainly on the aforementioned strategic areas, but also monitoring new areas with potential for expansion. There is increasing competition from both local developers and new players in the property development market; however, the entry barriers in this sector are greater than in the past, since financial institutions are very selective when granting financing for the purchase of land.

  • · Monitoring of the 36 construction projects which the Group had at 2017 year-end, plus the tenders and contracting of 50 new projects.
  • Continuing the upward trend in the number of pre-sales reached in 2017, whereby approximately 1.300 housing units were sold, reaching a volume of presales of more approximatory 1.000 noule the increases in prices that are occurring in each location due to the increase in demand and low supply of quality products.
  • = Delivering the property developments for which the construction completion date is forecast for 2018, while taking due care of our clients' satisfaction and experience.

Legacy business line

  • " Continuing with the divestment in order to monetise the majority of the portfolio in 2018.
  • " In terms of margins, the Group adopts a conservative outlook, presenting an almost neutral impact.
  • = The gains on this divestment will mainly be used to fund the acquisition of new land for the Development business line.

Servicing business line

  • · Maintaining the level of client satisfaction.
  • il Complying with the KPIs agreed between the parties, mainly at the level of new assets that come under management, administrative management of real estate assets, and the launch of their marketing and sale.

It establishes that the selection process is based on a prior analysis of the needs of the Company made by the Board of Directors, with the advice of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee. The Appointments and Remuneration Committee will define the functions and capacities of the candidates and will evaluate the time and dedication required for each vacancy, so that the requested responsibilities can be adequately fulfilled.

In order to carry out the needs analysis and the annual evaluation of compliance with the selection policy, the Company may request external advice.

In relation to the guidelines for the selection of directors, candidates must meet the requirements detailed in point 4.2 of the Policy (that they be honourable persons, of recognized competence and solvency, with the experience, qualifications, training, availability and commitment to perform the function and in those that do not meet the incompatibility requirements indicated in that section).

The Company will foster the diversity of gender, experiences and knowledge of its directors and will ensure that there are no unconscious biases that may lead to any type of discrimination, especially any that hinders the recruitment of female directors.

Appointment and re-election:

The Directors are appointed by the General Meeting or by the Board of Directors by co-optation, following a report from the Appointments and Remuneration Committee or, in the case of independent directors, at the proposal of the latter.

The directors shall hold office for a term of three years, at the end of which they may be re-elected one or more times for periods of the same maximum duration.

The directors appointed by co-optation will hold their position until the first meeting of the Annual General Meeting held after their appointment, and must step down from the position in the event that the aforementioned Annual General Meeting does not ratify their appointment.

Before proposing the re-election of directors to the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors will evaluate, with the abstention of the affected parties, the quality of the work and the dedication to the position of the directors proposed during the previous mandate.

Evaluation:

Regarding the Board's evaluation, the Regulations of the Board of Directors establish, in article 18, that the Board will evaluate annually (i) its operation and the quality of its work, (ii) the performance of its duties by the Chairman of the Board of Administration and by the Chief Executive Officer, based on the report submitted by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, (iii) the diversity in the composition and powers of the Board of Directors, and (iv) the functioning of its Committees, based on the report that they send it. To this end, the Chairman of the Board of Directors will organize and coordinate with the Chairmen of the Commissions the aforementioned evaluation process.

Every three years, the Board of Directors will be assisted in the evaluation by an external consultant, whose independence will be verified by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.

On the basis of the results obtained in the annual evaluation, the Board of Directors will propose an action plan to correct the deficiencies detected with respect to the quality and efficiency of the functioning of the Board, the functioning and composition of its committees, diversity, the performance of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the performance and contribution of each director.

Removal:

The directors shall cease to hold office when the period for which they were appointed has elapsed and when the Annual General Meeting so decides.

The directors must place their position at the disposal of Directors in the cases indicated in article 21.2 of the Regulations of the Board (see section C.1.21 below).

The Board of Directors may only propose the removal of an independent director before the expiration of the statutory term when there is just cause, so deemed by the Board of Directors following a report from the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.

3/2017, the company plans to conduct an internal autonomous evaluation of the operation of the

recommendations of the Unified Code of Good Governance.
The evaluations will be linked to action plans for measures of improvement.
The first internal evaluation of the operation of the committee will be conducted after one calendar
year has passed from the start of the company's listing for two basic reasons:
· The addition during 2017 of four new Independent Directors, one of them the Chairman,
which means that 57% of the members of the Board are new.
· The company's wish to consider a full cycle, in which the actions taken and meetings
held in the period of a calendar year can be included for analysis and evaluation in order
to obtain greater clarity and objectivity regarding compliance with the recommendations
for Good Cornorate Governance

C. 1.20.bis) Describe the evaluation process and the areas evaluated by the Board of Directors, with the assistance of an external consultant, as the case may be, with respect to diversity in its composition and competences, the operation and composition of its committees, performance of the Board Chairperson and Company CEO and performance/contributions made by each director.

See C.1.20

  • when their remaining on the Board may jeopardize or damage the interests, credit or reputation of the Company or when the reasons for which they were appointed disappear, including, without limitation, when there are significant changes in their professional situation or in the conditions under which they would have been appointed director;
  • · when they are prosecuted for an allegedly criminal act or are subject to disciplinary proceedings for serious or very serious misconduct opened by supervisory authorities;
  • in the case of proprietary directors, (i) when the shareholder they represent sells its shareholding in its entirety or reduces it substantially; and (ii) in the corresponding number, when said shareholder reduces its shareholding to such a degree that the number of proprietary directors must be lowered:
  • · when they sit on more than four boards of directors of other listed companies (different from the Company);

[INGLISH LOOSE TRANSLATION FOR INFORMATION FURPOSES ONLY. IN CASE OF DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE ENGLISH AND THE SPANSH PERSON, THE SPANISH VERSION SHALL PREVAIL]

compliance officer to justify that the transaction is being conducted in market conditions and
respects the principle of equal treatment among shareholders.
2) Those transactions which, in the opinion of the legal officer and the compliance officer, may
lead to a conflict of interest shall be reported to the Chairperson of the Appointments and
Remuneration Committee (the "Committee") to be examined at the committee's next meeting.
The report shall be included among the documentation submitted to the committee for

independent experts. When a transaction might affect the equality of treatment of all
shareholders, please refer to paragraph 4.1.4. of the policy.
Once approval has been received from the Committee, the transaction shall be submitted to the
Board of Directors for review and approval. If a Board Member has a conflict of interest in
relation to the transaction, he or she must withdraw from the decision-making process.

E CONTROL SYSTEMS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

E.l Explain the scope of the company's Risk Management System, including those of a fiscal nature.

Neinor Homes has defined an Integrated Control System (ICS), which has been communicated to the entire organization, in which risks are associated with strategic objectives, processes and to control activities. It also includes those responsible for the implementation and monitoring of such controls, as well as the evidence on which the system is based.

The continuous momitoring of this model makes it possible to respond to day-to-day operations and contingencies, and to facilitate the management of all areas of risk that may affect the achievement of the company's objectives (e.g.: business, financial, fiscal, regulatory risk, etc.). In short, the Neinor Homes model integrates all environments of regulatory compliance, with all the control and business risks structured in a uniform manner, to obtain a transversal perspective, which encourages synergies and eliminates duplication.

The following are the main inputs of the ICS:

  • Compliance risks and controls: covering the internal control of financial information, money laundering, data protection, the prevention of criminal responsibility, conflicts of interest, fraud and corruption, etc.
  • . Corporate risks and controls: covering external factors, the competitive environment, cyber security, people, etc.
  • Business risks and controls (value chain): including the acquisition of land, product, recruitment, commercial management and sales, among others.

On the other hand, the Risk Management methodology used by Neinor Homes is based on "Enterprise Risk Management" (also known as COSO II), which makes it possible to provide added value through the identification, management and monitoring of the management of business risk.

E.2 Identify the bodies of the company responsible for preparing and implementing the Risk Management System, including tax risk.

As set out in Article 5.6 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors, the powers of this body includes the adoption of the policy of risk control and management, including tax risks, as well as the periodic monitoring of the internal systems of information and control.

In addition, the Board delegates these functions to the Audit and Control Committee (ACC), and therefore, as detailed in article 9.7 of the Regulations of the Audit and Control Committee, insofar as risk management is concerned, the ACC is responsible for:

  • Identifying and evaluating the different types of risk (transactional, technological, financial, legal, social, environmental, political, tax, reputational, etc.) to which the Company is exposed, incheding among the financial or economic risks, the contingent liabilities and other off-balance-sheet risks of the company.
  • Identify the levels of risk that the Company considers acceptable.
  • Identify the measures put in place to reduce the impact of the identified risks, were they to occur.
  • Identify the information and internal control systems that will be used to control and manage these risks, including contingent liabilities and off-balance-sheet risks.

However, in Neinor Homes the initial responsibility for the supervision of the Integrated Risk Management and Control System corresponds to each involved business arca. The periodic review by the Directorate for Compliance and the Directorate for Internal Audit as the second and third lines of defence, respectively, and the final validation of the Audit and Control Committee and the Board of Directors.

E.3 Point out the main risks, including tax risks, which may affect the achievement of the business objectives.

Neinor Homes has classified the various risks to which it is exposed in 6 global categories:

  • External factors: related to the housing sector and the cyclical nature of the business.
  • Competitive environment: associated with the competitiveness of the various agents involved in the housing sector.
  • Operational model: including how the internal and external processes work, as well as the business structure.
  • Commitment to third parties: relating to compliance with the expectations agreed upon with the

[ENGLISH LOOSE TRANSLATION FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. IN CASE OF DISCREP ANCY BETWEEN THE ENGLISH AND THE SPANTSH PERSON, THE SPANISH VERSION SHALL PREVAIL]

client and or shareholder, as well as third-party relationships (suppliers such as construction and marketing companies).

  • Governance and compliance: covering adaptation to standards and applicable regulations, ethical activities and conduct, etc.
  • People: which primarily has to do with training and mechanisms for the attraction of talent.

Given that the Integrated Control System (ICS) that has been implemented is a dynamic tool intended to provide continuous and up-to-date information about the potential risks faced by the company; Neinor Homes regularly collects from the various defined sources of risk detection, occurrences ! events that might become a risk, in order to facilitate their analysis and continuous monitoring and to take measures to remedy them, and also where appropriate, the addition of a control, or the analysis of the effectiveness and efficiency of an existing one within the ICS.

E.4 Identify whether the entity has a level of risk tolerance, including tax risk.

The levels of risk tolerance are defined in the basis of evaluation of risks used by Neinor Homes to evaluate the potential risks to which it is exposed, classifying those risks that the company is willing to assume or reject and setting such risks down on the Risk Map.

The bases of evaluation consider both the economic and the reputational impact that may arise were the risk being evaluated to become a reality.

In addition, the final evaluation of the risk within the bases of evaluation considers the likelihood of that risk becoming a reality, taking both already past historical data and future estimates into consideration.

The risks are evaluated at the inherent level, that is to say, after having implemented the control measures established in each case which makes it possible, in this way, to prioritise the totality of risk events.

The final classification of the risks incorporates qualitative elements such as those that might affect the achievement of the company's strategic objectives or interfere in the mission, vision and values that it has established.

The analysis that is carried out contrasts both the opinion of external third parties interested in the company, and that of internal sources.

The Audit and Control Committee is the body responsible for reviewing these variables annually and to update and approve them.

E.5 Indicates what risks, including tax risks, have become a reality during the fiscal year.

During the 2017 fiscal year, certain inherent risks in the Neinor Homes' housing sector business materialised, although they have not had a material impact on the development and operation of the company.

In particular, the currently uncertain political situation in Catalonia has affected the pace of sales there, although its impact has not had an important impact on the overall profitability of Neinor Homes, given the significant number of pre-sold units in that region and the company's territorial diversification.

On the other hand, during the 2017 fiscal year (1 June 2017) auditing actions began to check and investigate the companies of the group NEINOR SUR (2014-2015 Value Added Tax; 2012-2015 Company Tax) and NEINOR PENİNSULA (2015-2016 Value Added Tax; 2015 Company Tax). Such actions are ongoing and to date no contingent liabilities have been detected that might pose a risk to the companies.

E.6 Explain the response and monitoring plans for the institution's principal risks, including tax risks.

During the process of updating the company's Corporate Risk Map, not only have the risks and risk events that affect the business objectives and regulatory compliance of Neinor Homes been defined, the control activities that make it possible to mitigate those events have also been defined.

For each of the controls that have been set in place, those responsible for their implementation and monitoring have been identified and the evidence that supports and justifies their successful execution has been determined.

In this sense, among the duties included in their Annual Activity Plans, both the Directorate for Compliance and the Directorate for Internal Auditing have established the periodic review of such control activities to ensure their effectiveness, and in the case of any control weaknesses being detected, to establish recommendations and action plans that should be implemented.

The periodic review of the control activities is an essential part of the company's entire control structure which

JENGLISH LOOSE TRANSLATION FOR NFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. IN CASE OF DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE SPANSH FERSON, THE SPANISH VERSION SHALL PREVAIL]

integrates different compliance models that have been introduced since the company was established in May 2015, such as the ICFR, the provention of criminal responsibility, the prevention of morey laundering and the financing of terrorism, data protection, related transactions and conflicts of interest, the prevention of final and corruption ...

In order to integrate all the compliance models in an efficient manner, they have all followed the same process of uniform and standards of implementation. The steps taken are as follows: the analysis of international best prestice mentations rick appetite, the analysis of policies and the applicable national and international best practice regulations, risk appoint, the analysis of policalle matysis of the existing internal control structure, the identification and where approxiate the design of additional controls / protocols for transfer to the organisation of the model of Governance (execution / monitoring / reporting), transfer to the transfer to the organisation.

In addition, the Audit and Control Committee regularly receives a report for its monitoring purposes, on the evolution of the risk memorement carried out the company, the state of the critical risks and the monitoring and level of progress of the agreed response plans.

F INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND RISK MANAGEMENT IN RELATION TO THE PROCESS FOR ISSUING FINANCIAL INFORMATION (ICFR)

Describe the mechanisms that make up the control and risk management systems in relation to the process for issuing financial information (ICFR) in your institution.

F.1 The institution's control environment

Indicating their main characteristics, report at least on:

F.1.1. Which organs and/or functions are responsible for: (i) the existence and maintenance of an adequate and effective ICFR; (ii) its implementation; and (iii) its monitoring.

Article 5.4 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors establishes the powers of the Board of Directors and, in particular, point xxi refers to "the ultimate responsibility for the existence and maintenance of an adequate and effective system of internal control of financial information (ICFR)".

The implementation of this ICFR rests with the actual business areas that are defined in Neinor Homes, as they are responsible for putting into practice the monitoring mechanisms and activities designed to ensure the reliability of the financial information of the company.

To ensure the adequate development and execution of the Board is supported by the Audit and Control Committee (ACC), which, as indicated in article 9.3 of the Regulations of the Audit and Control Committee, will be responsible for the following activities:

  • Evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of internal financial controls and the internal control and risk management systems, including the monitoring of the Systems for the Internal Control of Financial Reporting (ICFR), in such a way that the main risks can be properly identified, managed, evaluated and communicated.
  • To ensure that these systems conveniently reduce the risks, within the context of the policy that the Board of Directors were to have established, as the case may be
  • F.1.2 Whether the following elements exist, especially with regard to the process for preparing financial information:
    • · Departments and/or mechanisms responsible for: (i) the design and review of the organisational structure; (ii) clearly defining the lines of responsibility and authority, with an appropriate distribution of tasks and functions; and (iii) ensuring there are sufficient procedures for the proper dissemination thereof in the institution.

Among its powers, the Board of Directors of Neinor Homes has that of defining the structure Annong its powors, the Docit is ultimately responsible for establishing responsibilities in the process of preparing and monitoring financial information, and ensuring that such functions are being properly communicated to each of the areas involved.

Primarily, the GFD (the General Financial Directorate) is the area responsible for preparing the financial information, although all areas of the company must promote the transparency and the accuracy of the information managed and supplied to the market.

· Code of good conduct, approval body, degree of dissemination and instruction, included principles and values (indicating whether there are specific references to the registration of transactions and processing of financial information), the body responsible for analysing noncompliance and for proposing corrective actions and sanctions.

The purpose of the Code of Ethics of Neinor Homes is to establish a catalogue of ethical principles, values and standards of behaviour that should guide the actions of all the companies and individuals that form part of the company. This document is sent to all employees on an and indexts, including any new additions, for their knowledge and referral. It is signed on

acceptance.

In addition, annual training in ethics and compliance is provided for the entire company.

In particular, annex 4 of this Code specifies that in order to ensure that the information displays a faithful image of the equity, the financial situation and the results of the company, "the individuals who are responsible for entering data into the different types of records, whether physical or logical, processed by the company during the financial information preparation process, must necessarily guarantee their reliability, integrity, accuracy and updating".

Both the company's Code of Ethics and the Code of Good Conduct of third parties and many of the Compliance and Good Practices Policies and Manuals that are mandatory for all staff, are published on the company's website (Shareholders & Investors / Corporate Governance and Sustainability / Codes and Policies). The principles and values of the company are set out in the Code of Ethics itself and in the "Mission, Vision and Values" document which has also been published.

In addition, "the effectiveness of the ICFR as a whole is subject to annual review by the Directorate for Internal Auditing".

On the other hand, one of Neinor Homes governing principles, as specified in its Code of Ethics, is transparency. As a result, the company establishes that it "will provide to the authorities, to its shareholders, to the markets in which it operates and to its customers, truthful and transparent financial and accounting information in accordance with the legislation in force".

The body responsible for analysing breaches of the Code of Ethics and for proposing corrective actions and sanctions is the company's Monitoring and Control Committee, formed by the Directors of the Legal, Human Resources, Compliance and Internal Auditing departments.

A channel for complaints, which makes it possible to communicate to . the Audit Committee any irregularities of a financial and accounting nature, as well as any possible breaches of the Code of Good Conduct and irregular activities in the organisation, advising where appropriate if this channel is of a confidential nature.

Neinor Homes has established an Ethics Channel that allows people to communicate (by letter or e-mail) any irregular or inappropriate behaviour related to accounting, control, risks and financial information, as well as other relevant issues related to the integrity, conduct and transparency of transactions within the internal and external operations of the company.

Neinor Homes has published on its website its Complaints Management Procedure in which the operation of said Ethics Channel is regulated.

Only communications in which the complainant is duly identified are formally accepted. The total confidentiality and anonymity of the person providing the information is however guaranteed and the system does allow communication even if the person has not identified him- or herself. These communications are received by the Directorate for Compliance and the Directorate for Internal Auditing, and after their prior analysis, they are forwarded to the Monitoring and Control Committee for resolution.

In addition to the Ethics Channel which is disseminated externally and internally, the company has internally implemented a confidential channel for the communication of inefficiencies, breaches of protocols, malpractices or inappropriate behaviour on the part of employees. Access to this channel is restricted to the Internal Auditing Director and the Quality Director.

Training programmes and regular refresher training for staff involved . in preparing and reviewing financial information, as well as in evaluating the ICFR, covering at least: accounting standards, auditing, internal control and risk management.

The Directorate of Internal Auditing has given a training course on the ICFR to those areas involved in preparing and reviewing the financial information.

The Directorate of Internal Auditing together with the External Auditor have given a course to the accounting department on the obligations as a listed company in the area of financial information made available to the market and on Good Corporate Governance.

In addition, staff involved in preparing and reviewing financial information receive regular training and periodic updating in accounting standards, internal control, risk management and regulatory compliance.

During the course of the 2017 fiscal year and in relation to these subjects, the following topics have been dealt with:

F.2 Financial information risk assessment

Report, at least, on:

F.2.1. What are the main features of the risk identification process, including error or fraud risks, in terms of:

· Whether the process exists and is documented.

Neinor Homes has a procedure for calculating the scope of the processes that are to be incorporated into the ICFR and for identifying relevant business cycles.

Additionally, a matrix of controls has been defined that are associated with potential risks and accounting or administrative processes in each process incorporated into the ICFR. For each control, those responsible for executing and supervising the associated policies procedures and the required audit evidence have been established.

The company has established a risk management methodology that is replicated in the design and implementation process of any internal control structure and regulatory compliance that takes into account:

  • Internal and external information for identifying risks.
  • Rating scales for risk assessment. .
  • Holding interviews and workshops to prioritize risks.
  • The economic and reputational impact for classifying risks.
  • Past, present and future probability in risk materialization analysis.

All of the company's compliance environments, such as the ICFR, are incorporated into an integrated system of internal control and continuous risk management. The main characteristics of this model are:

  • Identifying each risk event, the associated corporate/strategic risk, the strategic objectives, procedures, controls and associated evidence, integrated in a control panel that prevents duplication between the controls and risks defined by each regulatory or operational compliance environment.
  • Implementing processes and protocols that enable the risks that materialize to be continuously identified and taken into account in redesigning and improving the internal control model, as well as taking the corresponding corrective actions into consideration.
  • · Monitoring and continuous reporting on the model's operation and the materialized risks to the company's audit and control committee.

The company's Control and Risk Management Systems are further detailed in section E.

· Whether the process covers all financial reporting objectives (existence and occurrence; completeness; valuation; presentation, disclosure and comparability; and rights and obligations), whether it is updated and with what frequency.

The process defined in Neinor Homes covers all financial information objectives:

  • Existence and occurrence: the transactions, facts and other events collected by the information do exist and are registered at the appropriate time.
  • Integrity: the information reflects all transactions, facts and other events in which the entity is an affected party.
  • Valuation: transactions, facts and other events are recorded and valued pursuant to . applicable regulations.
  • Presentation and disclosure: transactions, events and other events are classified, presented and disclosed in the information pursuant to the applicable regulations.
  • Rights and obligations: the information shows, on the corresponding date, the rights and obligations through the corresponding assets and liabilities, pursuant to applicable regulations.

These objectives are reviewed and updated when there are significant changes in the company's operations with an impact on financial information.

· A specific process is in place to define the scope of consolidation, with reference to the possible existence of complex corporate structures, shell corporations and special purpose vehicles.

The identification of the scope of consolidation with the detail of the corporate interests, as well as the corporate operations carried out that affect share capital or reserves, is transferred quarterly by the Legal Advisory Office to General Financial Management (GFM).

This provides the company with the updated equity situation and the GFM integrates the new companies into the financial statements, accounting for these transactions appropriately.

Within the Neinor Homes Group scope of consolidation, there are no complex corporate structures that could give rise to interpretations or value judgments that could affect the comprehension of the Financial Statements. Any corporate transaction or operation that could lead to the scope of consolidation has been consulted with the company's external auditors in order to correctly record them in the Annual Accounts.

· Whether the process addresses other types of risks (operational, technological, financial, legal, reputational, environmental, etc.) insofar as they may affect the financial statements.

The ICFR is one of the components of Neinor Homes Integrated Control System (ICS). In this model, as already mentioned in section E.1, the main risks that affect regulatory compliance are also considered, such as fraud and corruption risks, money laundering, data protection, etc .; as well as corporate risks and the risks inherent to the company's operation and activity (e.g., land acquisition, product, sales, procurement, among others).

Please see section E.3 to see the detail of the risks that are integrated at the corporate level.

Which of the Company's governing bodies is responsible for overseeing ● the process?

As mentioned in section F.1.1, the Board of Directors through the Audit and Control Committee (ACC) is the body in charge of supervising the ICFR to guarantee that the main risks can be identified, managed, valued and communicated appropriately. To carry out this function, the ACC relies on the company's Internal Audit Department.

Control activities F.3

Inform, indicating the main characteristics, whether it has at least:

F.3.1. Procedures for reviewing and authorizing the financial information and description of ICFR to be disclosed to the markets, stating who is responsible in each case and documentation and flow charts of activities and controls (including those addressing the risk of fraud) for each type of transaction that may materially affect the financial statements, including procedures for the closing of accounts and for the separate review of critical judgements, estimates, measurements and projections.

As indicated in Article 14.5.iii of the Regulations of the Board of Directors, the ACC is delegated the responsibility of supervising the process of preparing and presenting the regulated financial information in order to safeguard its integrity. For this purpose, this Commission relies on the General Financial Management and the Internal Audit Departments.

The procedure for reviewing and authorizing financial information initially consists of a double check from the sub-directorate and Accounting Directorate. A review is subsequently made from the company's Management Control area and finally, a final check is made by Financial Management.

The financial results are transferred to the Audit and Control Committee monthly.

On a quarterly basis, prior to the Board of Directors approval of the financial information and its subsequent publication, the Audit and Control Committee reviews and authorizes the financial information at the committee meeting, received sufficiently in advance to provide a reasonable margin for analysis.

The Internal Audit Department reviews the effectiveness and efficiency of the ICFR yearly and reports its findings to the Audit and Control Committee.

At the end of the year, the company has 212 procedures policies and manuals in which noncompliance could directly or indirectly impact the financial statements. General Financial Management is responsible for 23 of these procedures that cover the main functions of the Directorate such as accounting, the financial information control system, guarantees, financing, payments and collections, receipt of invoices, dividends, bank reconciliations and treasury, among others.

With regard to the accounting closing procedure, Neinor Homes has established a schedule with the milestones and the dates that must be met at each monthly closing. In this sense, the Accounting Department, according to the dates established in this schedule and to avoid errors in the accounting information, closes the accounting periods sequentially by work group. The management system does not allow the users included in those work groups to post if the accounting period has been closed for them. Additionally, each person responsible for the posting checks that the closing checklist has been completed correctly.

There are also individual and specific control activities for the supervising estimate and provision calculations (e.g. provisions for bonus and extra pay, legal contingencies, fiscal contingencies, etc.). This financial information obtained independently by the different areas involved is subject to further review, since it is validated by the Management Control Department before being transferred to the Accounting Department and an analytical verification is also carried out by the Strategic Financial Planning Directorate or the Internal Audit Department

F.3.2. Internal control policies and procedures for IT systems (including secure access, control of changes, system operation, continuity and separation of duties) giving support to key company processes regarding the preparation and publication of financial information.

Neinor Homes manages most of its business activities on Information Systems, which provide basic support for internal operations, service management and sales development. The information handled by the different systems and applications, as well as the communications infrastructure, together with the people, are the company's main asset for the normal development of business operations.

To this end, the Security Policy has been developed, which is made up of the organizational structure, human and technical resources, plans, procedures and protocols related to prevention and response measures against security risks of a physical nature and compliance with applicable regulation and good corporate governance.

The security requirements and objectives are determined by the Information Security Committee based on the criteria derived from Neinor Homes policies and the needs determined by those responsible for information assets and those responsible for business processes. Their scope includes all activities related to physical security and information security with a special focus on logical security. They apply to the provision of activities and services that are directly related to the security of the organization itself and also third parties, following their directives and instructions with an advanced, complete and comprehensive approach.

The purpose of this Policy is to achieve adequate protection of Neinor Homes information assets, within the scope defined for the information Security Management System, preserving the following security principles:

  • Confidentiality: ensure that the information is accessible only to those who are authorized to access it
  • Integrity: guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the information and its processing methods.
  • Availability: ensure that authorized users have access to the information and its associated assets when required.

These basic principles must be preserved and assured on any media the information is on, whether electronic, printed, visual or spoken form, and regardless of whether it is processed within or outside of Neinor Homes premises.

In this sense, the company has high levels of security on access, continuous training on cybeasecurity, reviews of the information sent, protocols for the use of mobile devices, daily backups of the servers, restricted access to external devices, etc.

Neinor Homes has approval processes for invoices and payments, which are configured on the computer tool used, which enables the people involved in each Directorate and the existence of separate roles to be identified.

On the publication date of this document, Neinor Homes is certified by the Information Security ISO 27001.

F.3.3. Internal control policies and procedures designed to supervise the management of activities outsourced to third parties, as well as evaluation, calculation or valuation aspects entrusted to independent experts that may materially affect the financial statements.

Neinor Homes has a procedure for selecting, approving and evaluating suppliers/third parties (e.g. architects, construction marketing firms, consultants, among others) in which these external companies are valued in an objective way, to select and hire those that are considered most suitable for providing their services in compliance with the company's legality and internal procedures (including the correct treatment of financial information and not disclosing it without authorization, among others).

Neinor Homes believes that the scope of internal control procedures for third parties should take into account suppliers due to their materiality, strategic suppliers due to their significant impact on financial information and reputational level, suppliers for the use of confidential information or for the relevance of their professional services, as well as external auditors, independent experts in the valuation of assets, etc., which must always demonstrate their experience, independence and reputation in the market.

The reports issued by an independent expert are reviewed by the company's personnel with experience and technical skills in the matters addressed.

The company also has a Code of Conduct for third parties that establishes the ethical standards that must be met by significant collaborators that provide some type of service to Neinor Homes. Among these principles is compliance with legal and fiscal obligations and preventing committing criminal offenses, fraud and corruption. This Code is accepted and signed by all strategic third parties that work with the company,

F.4 Information and communication

Inform, indicating the main characteristics, whether it has at least:

F.4.1. A specific function in charge of defining and maintaining accounting policies (accounting policies area or department) up to date and settling doubts or conflicts over their interpretation, maintaining regular communication with the persons responsible for the organization's transactions, as well as an updated accounting policy manual that is provided to all the company's operating units.

Neinor Homes General Financial Management (GFM) establishes the processes and also the applicable accounting policies and norms, and is also responsible for coordinating between the different departments involved in preparing the financial information. On the other hand, the Administration and Accounting Area, dependent on GFM, assumes responsibility for defining and resolving the queries arising from interpretation of the accounting policies.

In this sense, Neinor Homes has an Accounting Policy Manual developed internally in May 2016 and contrasted by independent accounting experts, which defines the classification and valuation criteria for preparing the financial statements.

The personnel involved in the process of preparing and reviewing the financial information are constantly informed of the accounting and tax updates through continuous communication with their tax advisors, their external auditor and other alerts and notifications received from the main audit firms and professional offices.

The Audit and Control Committee is entrusted with supervising and reviewing the annual accounts pursuant to current regulations, in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles.

When applying the regulation entails a certain complexity in its interpretation, the company seeks advice from its external auditor and other advisors or regulatory body.

F.4.2. Mechanisms in standard format for capturing and preparing financial information, which are applied and used in all units within the company or group, and support its main financial statements and attached notes as well as disclosures concerning ICFR.

The financial information process is defined in Neinor Homes and incorporates the description of the different standardized activities that are carried out in closing the accounts and preparing the financial statements, as well as the persons responsible for their execution and review.

A common IT tool (ERP) is also available, which works with the financial information of all the companies, and which facilitates the subsequent consolidation.

Additionally, a single Account Plan is used, which is implemented to carry out and manage the accounting of all companies.

F.5 Monitoring of the functioning of the system

Indicating their main characteristics, report at least on:

F.5.1. The ICFR monitoring activities undertaken by the Audit Committee and an internal audit function whose competencies include supporting the Audit Committee in its role of monitoring the internal control system, including ICFR. The scope of the ICFR evaluation conducted during the year and the procedure by which the person responsible for executing the evaluation communicates its results is also informed, whether the entity has an action plan detailing possible corrective measures, and whether its impact on financial information is considered.

As indicated in section F.1.1, in order to ensure the correct development and execution of the ICFR, Neinor Homes Board of Directors relies on the Audit and Control Committee (ACC) and the latter, in turn, delegates these monitoring functions to the Internal Audit Department.

The Internal Audit Department is, therefore, an objective function independent of the other areas, since it depends directly on the Audit and Control Committee and indirectly but functionally on the Chief Executive Officer.

The functions attributed include supervising the operation of the ICFR, having to evaluate the effectiveness of the internal control system and reasonably ensure efficiency and effectiveness in the use of resources, the reliability of financial information and compliance with legality and internal policies and procedures.

The first internal audit on the ICFR was also carried out in 2017.

In the ICFR review, the design and effectiveness of the controls is considered annually, the integrity of the evidence that supports these controls. Based on these reviews during 2017, measures have been implemented to improve the ICFR model derived from the recommendations made by the internal audit function and other independent experts.

F.5.2. A discussion procedure whereby the auditor (pursuant to TAS), the internal audit function and other experts can report any significant internal control weaknesses encountered during their review of the financial statements or other assignments, to the company's senior management and its Audit Committee or Board of Directors. State also whether the company has an action plan to correct or mitigate the weaknesses found.

Neinor Homes issues a quarterly report to Senior Management and the Audit and Control Committee in which the Internal Audit Department presents the analysis and monitoring of the internal comrol and risk management system implemented, as well as the main issues identified and the action plans to be implemented.

This report also includes the results of other obligatory compliance audits carried out in collaboration with the Compliance Department (e.g. data protection, money laundering, etc.).

The external auditors also communicate the semiannual and annual financial statements, as well as the weaknesses detected during their audit.

The Internal Audit Department, the Compliance Department and the external auditor also hold regular meetings with the ACC without the presence of Senior Management, to report on the operation of the control systems.

To address weaknesses or breaches related to ethical or fraud issues, there is a Monitoring and Control Committee, which meets periodically and at least four times a year.

F.7 External auditor report

Report from:

F.7.1. The ICFR information supplied to the market has been reviewed by the external auditor, in which case the corresponding report should be attached. Otherwise, explain the reasons for the absence of this review.

With the accelerated placement of shares that it carried out on September 14, 2017 (see section C. I.9), Neinor Holdings, S.L. reduced its holding in the Company from 39.5% to 12.9%. On October 31, 2017 one nominee director, Dominique Cressot, resigned, leaving Neinor Holdings, S.L. with two directors on the Board (Juan José Pepa and Felipe Morenes Botin-Sanz de Sautuola). Consequently, from the accelerated placement until December 31, 2017, the percentage of directors representing Neinor Holdings, S.L. has been slightly higher than the proportion between the capital stock held by Neinor Holdings S.L. and the rest of the capital stock. This situation was subsequently corrected by (i) the resignation of Juan José Pepa and Felipe Morenés Botin-Sanz de Sautuola of Lone Star (the owner of Neinor Holdings, S.L.), (ii) the second accelerated placement of shares by Neinor Holdings, S.L. on January 10, 2018, on which date it reduced its holding in the Company from 12.9% to 0.4% and (iii) the change in the classification of the Directors Juan José Pepa and Felipe Morenés Botin-Sanz de Sautuola decided by the Board on January 22, 2018, when they were reclassified as external directors.

AUDITOR'S REPORT ON "INFORMATION RELATING TO THE INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING (ICFR)" OF NEINOR HOMES, S.A., FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

To the Directors of Neinor Homes, S.A .:

At the request of the Board of Neinor Homes, S.A. (hereinafter the Company) and in accordance with our proposal dated October 6, 2017, we applied certain procedures to the accompanying "ICFR related information" included in section F) of the Annual Corporate Governance Report for Neinor Homes, S.A., for the year ended 31 December 2017, which summarizes the Company's internal control procedures regarding annual financial information.

The Board of Directors is responsible for taking appropriate measures to reasonably ensure the implementation, maintenance, supervision, and improvement of a correct internal control system, as well as preparing and establishing the content of all the related accompanying ICFR related information included in section F) of the Annual Corporate Governance Report.

It is worth noting that apart from the quality of design and operability of the Company's internal control system as far as annual financial reporting is concerned, it only provides a reasonable, rather than absolute, degree of security regarding its objectives due to the inherent limitations to the internal control system as a whole.

Throughout the course of our audit work on the financial statements, and in conformity with Technical Auditing Standards, the sole purpose of our evaluation of the Company's internal control system was to establish the scope, nature, and timing of the audit procedures performed on its financial statements. Therefore, our internal control assessment performed for the aforementioned financial statements was not sufficiently extensive to enable us to express a specific opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control over the regulated annual financial information

For the purpose of issuing this report, we exclusively applied the specific procedures described below and indicated in the Guidelines on the Auditors' report relating to Information on the Internal Control over Financial Reporting on Listed Companies, published by the Spanish National Securities Market Commission on its website, which establishes the work to be performed, the minimum scope thereof and the content of this report. Given that the scope of the abovementioned procedures performed was limited and substantially less than that of an audit carried out in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we have not expressed an opinion regarding its efficacy, design, or operational effectiveness regarding the Company's financial data for the year ended 31 December 2017 described in the accompanying ICFR information included in section F) of the Annual Corporate Governance Report. Consequently, had we applied additional procedures to those established by the Guidelines mentioned above or had we carried out an audit or a review of the internal control over the regulated annual financial reporting information, other matters have been disclosed which would have been reported to you.

Likewise, since this special engagement does not constitute an audit of the financial statements or a review in accordance with the Spanish Audit Law, we do not express an audit opinion in the terms provided for therein.

The following procedures were applied:

    1. Read and understand the information prepared by the Company in relation to the ICFR -disclosure information included in the Directors' Report- and assess whether such information addresses all the required information, which will follow the minimum content detailed as per the Annual Corporate Governance Report model established by CNMV Circular nº 7/2015 dated December 22, 2015.
    1. Make inquiries of personnel in charge of preparing the information described in point 1 above in order to: (i) obtain an understanding of its preparation process; (ii) obtain information making it possible to evaluate whether the terminology employed is in line with reference framework definitions (iii) gather information regarding whether the described control procedures are implemented and functioning within the Group.
    1. Review the explanatory documentation supporting the information described in section 1 above, which should basically include everything directly provided to those in charge of preparing the descriptive ICFR information.
