Interim management report for the six months ended 30 June 2013

The Board of Directors, at a meeting held on 29 August 2013, reviewed and approved the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group of The Cyprus Cement Public Company Limited for the six months ended 30 June 2013.

The consolidated results of the Group include also the results of its subsidiary company C.C.C. Tourist Enterprises Public Company and the results of the associated company Vassiliko Cement Works Public Company Limited.

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, which are expressed in Euro, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union (EU) and comply with the provisions of the Cyprus Stock Exchange Laws and Regulations in relation to the announcement of interim financial results.

The same accounting policies and bases of estimates were applied in compiling the interim results for the first six months period of 2013 as those applied for the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 except for the change in accounting policy as explained in Note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements in relation to the adoption of IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements". The results for the first six months period of 2013 have not been audited by the external auditors of the Group.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements must be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012.

Principal activities of the Group

The principal activities of the Group are the development/improvement of land and the holding of strategic investments in companies operating in the hotel and tourism industry and in the manufacturing and sale of cement and other related activities.

Review of the financial position of the Group

The net loss of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2013 amounted to €6,38 mlns in comparison to a loss of €3,88 mlns for the corresponding period of 2012. The negative variation of the results compared to the corresponding previous period is mainly due to the following reasons:

  • The turnover of the Group decreased by 22% to €7 mlns in comparison to €9 mlns for the corresponding period of 2012. Operating and administrative expenses decreased by 18% to €8 mlns in comparison to €9,8 mlns for the corresponding period of 2012. The decrease is due to the decrease in turnover of the subsidiary company C.C.C. Tourist Enterprises Public Company Limited.
  • Loss of associated company: The share of loss of the associated company amounted to €1,88 mln in comparison to a profit of €194 thousands for the 6 months ended 30 June 2012.
  • Loss of joint venture: The share of loss of the joint venture increased from €5 thousands in first six months of 2012 to €142 thousands mainly due to the impairment of the 47,5% of the unsecured deposits held by the joint venture in Bank of Cyprus.

Interim management report for the six months ended 30 June 2013 (continued)

Review of the financial position of the Group (continued)

The total assets of the Group at the end of the six months period were €449,6 mln (31 December 2012: €451,6 mln), out of which €118,3 mln (31 December 2012: €119 mln) represent the net book value of property, plant and equipment, €271,9 mln (31 December 2012: €271,9 mln) investment property and €53,9 mln (31 December 2012: €55,8 mln) the investment in the associated company Vassiliko Cement Works Public Company Limited and €1,1 mln (restated 2012: €1,3 mln) investments in joint ventures.

Under the current conditions, the expected results for 2013, may fluctuate, due to uncertainties in the market that are difficult to predict.

Risks and uncertainties

The Group's activities are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The most significant of which are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk arising from adverse movements in foreign exchange rates and interest rates as well as operational risk.

The operations are affected by a number of factors including but not limited to:

  • The operating environment of Cyprus (Note 1).
  • International and national economic and geopolitical conditions.
  • The impact of war, terrorist acts, diseases and epidemics which are likely to influence tourist arrivals to the island.
  • Increased competition within Cyprus and neighbouring countries.
  • Increase in staff and energy costs.

The economic conditions prevailing in the Cyprus market together with the effects of the results of the Eurogroup decision taken on 25 March 2013 for Cyprus, create additional risks and uncertainties for the second half of 2013.

Specifically, the current conditions, could have adverse effect on the valuation of the Group's property, on its ability to obtain adequate liquidity or financing and on revenue due to any possible decrease in demand for products and services offered by the Group due to reduced consumer purchasing power and the reduced tourist arrivals.

The deterioration in the operating conditions could also have an impact on the cash flow forecasts of the Groups' management and their estimation for the impairment of financial and non-financial assets.

The Group is in the process of negotiating the restructuring of the bank loans and expects that in the future it will be able to secure additional liquidity if needed.

The Group is analyzing and managing these risks through various control mechanisms, and forms, wherever possible, its strategy with a view to minimizing the effects of these risks.

Interim management report for the six months ended 30 June 2013 (continued)

Extracts of the results of the first six months of 2013 will be published in the newspaper "Simerini" on 30 August 2013.

Copies of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are available at the Company's office, 197 Makarios III Avenue, Gala Tower, 3030 Limassol, tel: 25891000 and in electronic form in the Galatariotis Group of Companies website (www.galatariotisgroup.com).

Notes to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements

1 General information

Τhe Company was incorporated in Cyprus in 1951, as a private limited liability company in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law, Cap. 113 and later became a public company. The Company is listed in the Cyprus Stock Exchange.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2013 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (Note 11) together referred to as the "Group", and the Group's interests in associates (Note 12) and joint ventures (Note 13).

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group for the period ended 30 June 2013 and the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2012 are available upon request from the company's office 197 Makarios III Avenue, Gala Tower, 3030 Limassol, and in electronic form in the Group's website (www.galatariotisgroup.com).

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited by the external auditors of the Group.

Principal activities

The principal activities of the Group are the development/improvement of land and the holding of strategic investments in companies operating in the hotel and tourism industry and in the industry of manufacturing and sale of cement and other related activities.

Operating environment

The Cyprus economy has been adversely affected over the last few years by the international credit crisis and the instability in the financial markets. During 2012 there was a considerable tightening of financing availability from Cypriot financial institutions, mainly resulting from financial instability in relation to the Greek sovereign debt crisis, including the impairment of Greek Government Bonds, and its impact on the Cyprus economy. In addition, following its credit downgrades, the ability of the Republic of Cyprus to borrow from international markets has been significantly affected. The Cyprus government entered into negotiations with the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund, in order to obtain financial support.

Cyprus and the Eurogroup (together with the International Monetary Fund) reached an agreement on 25 March 2013 on the key elements necessary for a future macro-economic adjustment programme which includes the provision of financial assistance to the Republic of Cyprus of up to €10 billion. The programme aims to address the exceptional economic challenges that Cyprus is facing and to restore the viability of the financial sector, with the view of restoring sustainable economic growth and sound public finances over the coming years.

1 General information (continued)

Operating environment (continued)

Based on this agreement The Eurogroup decision on Cyprus includes plans for the restructuring of the financial sector and safeguards deposits below € 100.000 in accordance with EU legislation. More specifically, the uninsured depositors of Laiki are entitled to receive 18% of the equity of Bank of Cyprus. This should be managed by the liquidator and its proceeds will be shared between the uninsured depositors. The Bank of Cyprus uninsured depositors have received in total 81% of the Bank of Cyprus new shares through a conversion of 47,5% of their deposits (amounts over €100.000). The holders of equity and other mezzanine instruments have received approximately 1% of the Bank of Cyprus new equity instruments. These instruments have not been admitted for trading in the Stock exchange as yet. The fair value of these instruments is still unknown and very difficult to calculate due to the unavailability of public information and active market. In addition the corporate tax rate increased from 10% to 12,5%.

On 22 March 2013 the House of Representatives voted legislation relating to capital controls affecting transactions executed through banking institutions operating in Cyprus. The extent and duration of the capital controls is decided by the Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Central Bank of Cyprus and were enforced on 28 March 2013 and have subsequently been relaxed but are still in place.

The uncertain economic conditions in Cyprus, the unavailability of financing, the imposition of the above mentioned capital controls together with the current instability of the banking system and the anticipated overall economic recession, could affect the ability (1) the ability of the Company to obtain new borrowings or re-finance its existing borrowings at terms and conditions similar to those applied to earlier transactions, (2) the ability of the Company's trade and other debtors to repay the amounts due to the Company and (3) the ability of the Company and the Group to sell their existing inventories or enter into contracts for the development of new property units / the ability of the company and the Group to generate sufficient turnover, to sell their existing inventories and/or offer their services to customers.

The deterioration of operating conditions could also have an impact on the cash flow forecasts of the Company's management and their assessment of impairment of financial and nonfinancial assets.

The Company's management has assessed:

  • (1) whether any impairment provisions are deemed necessary for the Company's financial assets carried at amortised cost by considering the economic situation and outlook at the end of the reporting period. Provisions for trade receivables are determined using the incurred loss model required by the applicable accounting standards. These standards require recognition of impairment losses for receivables that arose from past events and prohibit recognition of impairment losses that could arise from future events, no matter how likely those future events are.
  • (2) whether the net realisable value for the Company' s inventory exceeds cost. Where net realisable value is below cost, the excess should be charged to the profit or loss for the year. The demand for many kinds of real estate properties has been significantly affected and transactions are less frequent, therefore the estimated selling price is highly judgmental.
  • (3) the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern.

1 General information (continued)

Operating environment (continued)

The Board of Directors of the Company is unable to predict all developments which could have an impact on the Cyprus economy and consequently, what effect, if any, they could have on the future financial performance, cash flows and financial position of the Company.

The Board of Directors of the Company believes that it is taking all the necessary measures to maintain the viability of the Company and the development of its business in the current business and economic environment.

2 Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union (EU). These condensed interim consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012.

3 Significant accounting policies

All accounting policies, presentation of results and calculation methods, applied for the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group for the six months period ended 30 June 2013, are consistent with those used during the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012, except of the following set out below.

The Board of Directors decided to early adopt the following accounting standards:

  • IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 (EU: 1 January 2014)). This adoption did not have any material effect on the interim condensed financial statements of the Group.
  • IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 (EU: 1 January 2014)).

Under IFRS 11, investments in joint arrangements are classified either as joint operations or joint ventures, depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor has rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. Joint operations arise where a joint operator has rights to the assets and obligations relating to the arrangement and therefore accounts for its share of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Joint ventures arise where the joint venturer has rights to the net assets of the arrangement and therefore equity accounts for its interest. Proportional consolidation of joint ventures is no longer allowed.

Before 1 January 2012, the Group's interest in its jointly controlled entity L' Union Branded Residences was accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method. Under IFRS 11, the jointly controlled entity has been assessed to be a joint operation and the Group has applied the new policy for its interest in the joint operation in accordance with the transition provisions of IFRS 11.

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

The Group recognised its investment in the joint venture at the beginning of the earliest period presented (1 January 2012), as the total of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, which previously were proportionately consolidated. This is the deemed cost of the investments in the joint venture for applying equity accounting.

Under the equity method of accounting, interests in joint ventures are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the postacquisition profits or losses and movements in other comprehensive income. When the Group's share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in the joint ventures (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the joint ventures), the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the joint ventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The change in accounting policy has been applied as from 1 January 2012. There is no impact on the net assets of the periods presented.

The effects of the change in accounting policies on the financial position and the comprehensive income of the Group at 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2012 are presented in Note 16. The change in accounting policy has had no impact on earnings per share.

  • IFRS 12 "Disclosure of Interests in Other entities" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 (EU: 1 January 2014)). This adoption did not have any effect on the interim condensed financial statements of the Group.
  • IAS 27 "Separate Financial Statements" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 (EU: 1 January 2014)). This adoption did not have any effect on the interim condensed financial statements of the Group.
  • IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 (EU: 1 January 2014)). This adoption did not have any material effect on the interim condensed financial statements of the Group other than the effect of the early adoption of IFRS 11.

Financial risk management

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statement: they should be read in conjunction with the group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2012. There have been no changes in the risk management policies since 31 December 2012.

4 Estimates

The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Group's accounting policies. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgments made by the Management in applying the Group's accounting policies and estimations were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012, except as described below.

The subsidiary company C.C.C. Tourist Enterprises Public Company Limited holds 50% of the voting rights of its joint arrangements. The Group has joint control over these arrangements as under the contractual agreements, unanimous consent is required from all parties to the agreements for all relevant activities. The Group's joint arrangements are structured as a Partnership and provide the Group and the parties to the agreements with rights to the net assets of the Partnership under the arrangements. Therefore, the Partnership is classified as a joint venture of the Group.

5 Segment information

Operating segments are presented in accordance with the internal reporting provided to the Board of Directors (the chief operating decision-maker), which is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segment. All operating segments used by the Group, meet the definition of a reportable segment as per IFRS 8.

The basic operating segments of the Group for which segment information is presented are as follows:

  • (1) Investment property
  • (2) Hotel and tourism
  • (3) Cement strategic investment in Vassiliko Cement Works Public Company Limited

The "other" operating segment of the Group relates to secretarial and managerial services offered to related parties.

The Board of Directors assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of adjusted EBITDA. This measurement basis excludes the effects of non-recurring expenditure from the operating segments such as restructuring costs and impairments, when the impairment is the result of an isolated, non-recurring event. Interest income and expenditure are not allocated to segments. Other information presented, is accounted as per the financial statements.

5 Segment information (continued)

The segment information which is provided to the Management of the Group for the reportable segments is as follows:

7 Tax

Income tax is recognised based on annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The tax for the period represents corporation tax and defence contribution of previous years. No deferred tax has been recognised for the six months ended 30 June 2012, mainly because the credit balance for unused tax losses is recognised up to the extent of the debit balance relating to temporary differences.

The corporation tax rate as at 31 December 2012 was 10% and increased to 12,5% as at 1 January 2013.

According to the Income Tax Law, the Company and its subsidiaries which directly or indirectly control at least 75% of the issued share capital consist "group" for income tax purposes. A company within the Group would be entitled to transfer losses and offset them against profits among the companies of the Group.

11 Investment in subsidiaries

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiary companies, which are collectively referred to as the "Group". Subsidiaries are all entities which the Group controls. The Group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

16 Prior year adjustment

The Group has early adopted the International Financial Reporting Standard 11 "Joint Arrangements" (IFRS 11) which replaces the International Accounting Standard 31 "Interests in joint ventures" (IAS 31).

In accordance with IFRS 11 the use of equity method is compulsory in contrast to IAS 31 which allowed the proportionate consolidation method, which was the method used by the Group on the date of the incorporation of the joint venture L' Union Branded Residences in 2011. As a result the comparative figures of the condensed interim consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the condensed interim consolidated balance sheet have been restated to conform with the application of the equity method of accounting which is used as from 1 January 2013.

16 Prior year adjustment (continued)

Following the above, the condensed interim consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the condensed interim consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2012 and for the period ended 301 June 2012 respectively, have been restated as follows:

There were no other significant events after the end of the financial period which have a bearing on the understanding of the financial statements.
