 Financial Position

Total revenue for the year ended 31 December 2016 was €5.6 million compared to €1.8 million in 2015. The increase in 2016 is due to the revenue generated from the sale of housing units in the Veleslavin project, Prague, Czech Republic. The revenues in 2015 represent income from part of the year, i.e., from August 2015, the date the Company obtained control of ENMAN (the parent company of Veleslavin).

Total gross loss for 2016 was €0.4 million (2015: €0.9 million gross loss). The decrease in the loss was due to a negative investment property revaluation of €0.7 million for 2015 compared to nil in 2016.

The write-down of inventory relates to the plots and housing unit project located in Romania and the Czech Republic. 

General and administrative expenses increased to €1.0 million (2015: €0.8 million). The change is mainly caused as a result an income which was recognised in 2015 following settlement agreements with former employees and service providers for past open debts.

Other income from ceasing to consolidate certain subsidiaries increased to €3.8 million (2015: €0.4 million), mainly due to the income generated from sale of the wholly owned subsidiary Arces International B.V.

Following the lease termination in Serbia, the Company's subsidiary Marina Dorcol d.o.o ("MD") is no longer bound to make any further payments on the lease liabilities on one hand and has no rights over the leased land on the other hand, and consequently the management of the Group derecognised of the lease liability and related asset in the reporting period. As a consequence, non cash income of €23.5 million was recognised during 2016 under "other income".

Net financing costs decreased to €5.4 million (2015: €11.1 million). This reflects a decrease in the finance costs due to the finance lease in Serbia of €3.0 million (2015: €7.1 million) and an decease in foreign exchange losses to €1.6 million (2015: €2.8 million).

The share of profit of equity-accounted investments decreased to a profit of €0.3 million in 2016 compared to a profit of €1.7 million in 2015. This decrease is mainly due to the sales of plot in ENMAN which were executed during 2015 and the reversal of a previously recorded write down in Canada following the sale in 2016.

As a result of the above, the profit after tax for the year was €21.2 million compare to loss of €10.4 million in 2015.

 

General

In order to manage its financial situation, in previous periods, the Company approached Engel Resources and Development Ltd. ("ERD"), the parent company of the Company's immediate parent company, Engel General Developers Ltd. ("EGD"), to provide financial assistance to fund the Company's immediate liabilities.

As of 31 December 2016, the outstanding debt owed to ERD was €25.7 million (2015: €25.1 million) and is due by 30 April 2017, see note 13. During the reporting period, ERD did not provide any additional bridge loans to the Company.

In order to finance the Company's immediate liabilities and to stabilise its financial position, management has acted to realise several assets during the recent reporting periods, see notes 9.a.iv, 29.b, 29.c and 29.d.

ERD support is still required in the form extending the repayment date of its loans beyond 30 April 2017.

At 31 December 2016, the Group has current liabilities totalling €28.0 million, which exceeds its current assets amounting to €4.2 million, and a negative equity which amounts to €23.2 million.

The financial statements are prepared based on a going concern basis. However, the Directors believe that the above mentioned condition (i.e. the need to extend the repayment date of the loans granted by ERD) indicates the existence of material uncertainty which cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Should the going concern assumption not be appropriate, adjustments would have to be made to reflect a situation where the assets may need to be realised other than in the normal course of business and at amounts which could differ significantly from the amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Serbia

GDP growth in 2016 was 2.5 per cent and the rate of inflation was 1.1 per cent.

On 3 June 2016, MD received from the Mayor of Belgrade a notice of termination of the lease agreement MD has in respect of the Marina Dorcol Project in Belgrade, Serbia.

On 22 July 2016, the Municipality sent MD a unilateral termination of the lease agreement over the Marina Dorcol Project in Belgrade, Serbia ("termination letter").

On 29 September 2016, MD notified the Municipality that it accepted the termination letter and wished to negotiate with the Municipality in order to determine the amount and timing of the compensation due to MD as a result of the above termination.

Based on the agreement with the municipality, management believes that the final result of the termination will be the restitution of the amounts paid by MD less the amount of compensation to the Municipality for usage of such land for the period of duration of lease and for compensation of damages which occurred to the Municipality, if any. The Company and MD are currently in the process of negotiation with the Municipality about the amount and timing of the restitution.

Management expects that following the termination it will have a net cash inflow from the above restitution, however, the net cash flow and the timing to conclude the settlement with the Municipality cannot be predicted at this stage with certainty. Based on MD's advisers, the range of the restitution can be in the amount of RSD 337.5 million (approximately €2.7 million) to RSD 487.3 million (approximately €4.0 million).

As management has no certainty of the amount that MD will be able to collect from the Municipality, management did not record receivables at the Company's consolidated financial statements generated from the above mentioned restitution of the lease agreement.

As MD is no longer bound to make any further payments on the lease liabilities on one hand and has no rights over the leased land on the other hand, the management of the Group derecognised of the lease liability and related asset in the reporting period.

As a consequence, non cash income of €23.5 million was recognised in profit and loss under "other income" in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Czech Republic

GDP in 2016 was 2.5 per cent and the rate of inflation was 0.5 per cent.

On 16 December 2015, Arces signed a conditional agreement to sell its shares and receivables in the wholly owned subsidiary Palace Engel Vokovice s.r.o ("Vokovice s.r.o").

On 14 March 2016 the sale was completed. As the book value of the plot of land held by Vokovice s.r.o as of 31 December 2015 was based on its net realisable value which was taken as the transaction price in the conditional agreement, the transaction did not generate any material result in the profit or loss of the consolidated financial statements.

The Company recorded revenue from the sale of housing units in the Veleslavin project, Prague, Czech Republic.

In 2016 the Company recorded revenue from disposing of 31 Veleslaven units (in 2015 for the period since acquiring the control over ENMAN, to 31 December 2015: 11 units).

 

Canada

GDP growth in 2016 was 1.2 per cent and the rate of inflation 1.6 per cent.

On 13 January 2016, Montreal Residential Holdings Master Limited Partnership ("MLP") completed the sale of two plots of land held for residential development purposes in Canada for a total cash consideration of CAD 20.2 million (€13.1 million).

MLP recognised a profit before income tax in the amount of €2.8 million (the Company's share was €0.6 million and it was recognised under the "share of profit of equity-accounted investments, net of tax").

During the reporting period the Company and its jont venture partner, Silverpeak Real Estate Partners, agreed to distribute funds generated from the above sales to the partners.

The 20% share of ECG trust in the distribution was CAD 3.5 million (€2.4 million). The trustee agreed to distribute to the Company an amount of CAD 1.7 million (€1.2 million) and that the rest would be held back until the final tax clearance from the Canadian tax authorities will be received. These amounts held back are being presented under "Prepayments and other assets" in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The net proceeds which have been received to date from the above distribution have been used for the repayment of the loan granted by Real Property Investment (Guernsey) Ltd., see note 30.c.3.

Based on prior agreements with ERD, all the net future proceeds generated from the Company's assets in Canada will be used to repay the outstanding debts of the Company due to ERD.

 

The Netherlands

On 15 July 2016, the Company sold its investment in the wholly owned subsidiary, Arces International B.V. ("Arces") to a third party for an immaterial amount.

As a consequence the Company no longer controls Arces, therefore ceased consolidating Arces in its consolidated financial statements. The Company recognised income of €3.7 million under "other income" in profit or loss on the sale of its investment in Arces.

The income was mainly due to a recognised liability of Arces for a finance exposure with respect to interest-bearing bank loans that financed the project in Gyor, Hungary. The bank claims that the loan was additionally guaranteed by Arces. Arces has disputed the validity of this guarantee with the bank; however, no official legal claim has been filed by any of the parties.

The Company did not provide any guarantees for Arces and its subsidiaries' liabilities.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

 

NOTE 1 - REPORTING ENTITY

 

Kimberly Enterprises N.V. (the "Company") is domiciled in the Netherlands. The Company's registered office is at Laurierstraat 71, 1016 PJ Amsterdam, Netherlands.

 

These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company, its subsidiaries and the Group's interests in joint venture (together referred to as the "Group").

 

The Group is primarily involved in holding and selling real estate assets in Eastern Europe.

The Company is listed on the Alternative Investment Market ("AIM") of the London Stock Exchange, United Kingdom since 15 December 2005.

 

Copies of these consolidated financial statements of the Group are available on the Company's website (www.kimberly-enterprises.com) and upon request from the Company's registered office.

 

 

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

 

a. Statement of compliance

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU ("EU IFRS"). They were authorised for issue by Company's board of directors on 28 February 2017.

 

Details of the Group's accounting policies are included under note 3.

 

These consolidated financial statements are not intended for statutory filing purposes. The Company is required to file financial statements prepared in accordance with the Dutch Civil Code.

At the date of preparing these financial statements the Company had not yet filed consolidated financial statements for the year ended on 31 December 2016 in accordance with the Dutch Civil Code; however the management expects to file the report on the determined schedule.

 

b. Going concern basis of accounting

 

In order to manage its financial situation, in previous periods, the Company approached Engel Resources and Development Ltd. ("ERD"), the parent company of the Company's immediate parent company, Engel General Developers Ltd. ("EGD"), to provide financial assistance to fund the Company's immediate liabilities.

 

As of 31 December 2016, the outstanding debt toward ERD is EUR 25,724 thousands (2015: EUR 25,081 thousands) and is due by 30 April 2017, see note 13. During the reporting period, ERD did not provide any additional bridge loans to the Company.

In order to finance the Company's immediate liabilities and to stabilise its financial position, management has acted to realise several assets during the recent reporting periods, see notes 9.a.iv, 29.b, 29.c and 29.d.

 

ERD support is still required in the form extending the repayment date of its loans beyond 30 April 2017.

 

At 31 December 2016, the Group has current liabilities totalling EUR 27,977 thousands, which exceeds its current assets amounting to EUR 4,206 thousands and a negative equity which amounts to EUR 23,165 thousands.

 

 

 

The financial statements are prepared based on a going concern basis. However, management believes that the above mentioned condition (i.e. the need to extend the repayment date of the loans granted by ERD) indicate the existence of material uncertainty which cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Should the going concern assumption not be appropriate, adjustments would have to be made to reflect a situation where the assets may need to be realised other than in the normal course of business and at amounts which could differ significantly from the amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

c. Basis of measurement

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following item, which is measured on an alternative basis on each reporting date.

 

· Investment property - measured at fair value.

 

d. Functional and presentation currency

 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro (EUR), which is the Company's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.

 

e. Use of judgments and estimates

 

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Group's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.

 

Information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements are presented as follows:

 

1. Going concern basis of accounting

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future, for at least twelve months.

 

However, market conditions the Company face, as discussed in details in note 2.b, indicate the existence of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

2. Tax expenses

 

The Group is subject to taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Where estimates are revised or the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were previously recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made (see note 25).

 

 

 

3. Inventory

 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Estimates of net realisable values for the excess amounts are made at each reporting period (see note 7 for the net realisable value sensitivity analysis).

 

The determination of net realisable values of inventories is subject to considerable estimation uncertainty: the risk that inventory net realisable value will not be appropriately evaluated exists, since factors not known to the valuer or to the Company might affect the net realisable value of the inventory (see note 7).

 

Management is responsible for determining the net realisable value of the Group's inventories. In determining net realisable value of the vast majority of inventories, management utilises the services of an independent third party recognised as a specialist in valuation of properties. The independent valuation service utilises market prices of same or similar properties whenever such prices are available. Where necessary, the independent third party valuation service uses models employing techniques such as discounted cash flow analyses. The assumptions used in these models typically include assumptions for rental levels, residential units sale prices, cost to complete the project, developers profit on costs, financing costs and capitalisation yields, utilising observable market data, where available. On an annual basis, the Company reviews the valuation methodologies used for each property. At 31 December 2016, the only plot held by the Group, was valued by independent third party valuation services who estimated the plot with EUR 698, thousands, see note 7.

 

Accumulated write-downs from cost, at 31 December 2016, amounted to EUR 1,171 thousands and represent 32% of gross inventory balance.

 

4. Consolidation of companies with troubled debts

 

Although the Company's subsidiary ENMAN B.V. ("ENMAN") owns the voting power rights of Engel-Lylia s.r.l ("Lylia") and Engel Crizantema s.r.l ("Crizantema"), ENMAN does not have control over these entities since 1 January 2013. The management re-assessed the control over the entities, and it still believes that the Company had no control over these investees as at 31 December 2016.

 

Management evaluated the rights obtained by the lending bank in terms of how pervasive they are in the context of the Lylia and Crizantema and whether they are mitigated by other factors. Since Lylia and Crizantema are in breach of the loan agreements, the relevant activity of the entities is to maximise the sales proceeds from selling the asset and by doing so to maximise the recovery of the interest-bearing bank loans.

 

In the case of Crizantema the lender bank succeeded to sell the asset but the loan liability has not been extinguished as the bank did not waive the remaining loan amount. The bank has a pledge over the shares of the Crizantema. Assuming that the bank has a currently exercisable right to take or sell the shares without the Company's consent and without the need for the involvement of an administrator which the bank does not control, the bank has power over the company. Assuming that an administrator is needed to be involved in the legal procedure to take or sell the shares and the bank does not control the procedure and the administrator, the bank does not have power over the entity, but the administrator's rights are sufficient to prevent the parent company having control.

 

 

 

On 29 June 2016, a receiver was appointed by a court in Romania on the shares of Engel Tulip s.r.l ("Tulip"). Tulip was the entity which held (before it was sold by the bank) the pledged plot to the lender bank and is being held by Crizantema.

 

In the case of Lylia the lender bank has initiated several auctions in order to sell the asset without any success.

 

The Group, ENMAN and the investees do not have the resources to repay the loans or to finance the development of the plot, and they are currently not in advanced negotiation with the banks to modify the terms of the loan, while the market is not expected to recover in the foreseeable future. These factors also indicate that the bank's rights are substantive.

 

Based on the factors above and the appointment of receiver Engel Tulip s.r.l., management believes that the bank's rights are very significant to the entities' activities and can affect significantly the economic circumstances of the entities, which lead management to conclude that the parent company still has no control over Lylia and Crizantema, and therefore they should not be consolidated in the financial statements.

 

5. Lease termination

 

Following the termination of lease agreement in Serbia (see note 29.a) management, based on its legal advisors, concluded that it is no longer bound to make any further payments on the lease liabilities and has no rights over the leased land and therefore derecognised the lease liability and related asset in the reporting period. Since these assets and liabilities represented substantially all the assets and liabilities of MD, this was considered in substance as the liquidation of MD and the related translation adjustment was reclassified to profit or loss.

 

f. Operating cycle

 

The Group is involved in projects some of which may take 5-6 years to complete. The cost of inventory and loans which finance residential development projects are presented as current assets and liabilities, unless they are not expected to be realised within the normal operating cycle in which case they are classified as non-current.

 

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

 

a. Basis of consolidation

 

1. Business combinations

 

The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities.

 

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss.

 

Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, the contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.

 

If share-based payment awards (replacement awards) are required to be exchanged for awards held by the acquiree's employees (acquiree's awards), then all or a portion of the amount of the acquirer's replacement awards is included in measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination. This determination is based on the market-based measure of the replacement awards compared with the market-based measure of the acquiree's awards and the extent to which the replacement awards relate to pre-combination service.

 

2. Subsidiaries

 

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.

 

3. Non-controlling interests

 

Non-controlling interests are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.

 

Changes in the Group's interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

 

4. Loss of control

 

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related non-controlling interests and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.

 

 

5. Interest in equity-accounted investments

 

The Group's interests in equity-accounted investments comprise interests in associates and joint ventures.

 

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control, whereby the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities.

 

Interests in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. They are recognised initially at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity-accounted investments, until the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases.

 

6. Transactions eliminated on consolidation

 

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted investments are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group's interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

 

b. Foreign currency

 

1. Foreign currency transactions

 

Transactions in currencies other than the company's functional and presentation currency (EUR) are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group companies at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss.

 

However, foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the following items are recognised in other comprehensive income:

 

· available-for-sale equity investments (except on impairment, in which case foreign currency differences that have been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss);

· a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; and

· qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.

 

 

2. Foreign operations

 

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into Euro at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Euro at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

 

Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the translation reserve, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to non-controlling interests.

 

When a foreign operation is disposed of in its entirety or partially such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. If the Group disposes of part of its interest in a subsidiary but retains control, then the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of an associate or joint venture while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

 

The functional currencies of the Group entities are: Czech Koruna ("CZK"), Polish Zloty ("PLN"), Canadian Dollar ("CAD"), Romanian Leu ("RON"), New Israeli Shekel ("ILS"), Serbian Dinar ("RSD") and Euro ("EUR").

 

c. Revenue

 

1. Sale of housing units and land

 

Revenue from the sale of housing units and plots of land is recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer provided that the Group has no further substantial acts to complete under the contract.

 

Contract expenses are recognised as incurred unless they create an asset related to future contract activity. An expected loss on a contract is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 

2. Investment property and rental income

 

Rental income from investment property is recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.

 

3. Other revenue

 

Other revenues, including project management fees, are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, by reference to completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided, and are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of VAT and other sales related taxes.

No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or continuing management involvement with the assets.

 

 

d. Employee benefits

 

Short-term employee benefits

 

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

 

e. Finance income and finance costs

 

The Group's finance income and finance costs include:

· interest income;

· interest expense;

· changes in the local retail price index in Belgrade, Serbia on finance lease and changes in the customer price index in Israel on loans received from related parties;

· the foreign currency gain or loss on financial assets and financial liabilities;

· impairment losses recognised on financial assets (other than trade receivables).

 

Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method.

 

Borrowing costs are capitalised if they are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Capitalisation of borrowing costs may continue until the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. If the resulting carrying amount exceeds the qualifying assets' recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised. The capitalisation rate is arrived at by reference to the actual rate payable on borrowings for development purposes or, with regard to that part of the development cost financed out of general funds, to the average rate.

Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 

f. Income tax

 

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

 

1. Current tax

 

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

 

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.

 

 

2. Deferred tax

 

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:

 

· temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;

· temporary differences related to the investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

· taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

 

Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.

 

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

 

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For this purpose, the carrying amount of investment property measured at fair value is presumed to be recovered through sale, and the Group has not rebutted this presumption.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.

 

g. Inventories

 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories includes direct materials, direct labour costs, subcontracting costs and those direct overheads which have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present condition.

 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

 

Borrowing costs are capitalised if they are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset.

 

The Group is involved in projects some of which may take several years to complete. The cost of inventory and loans which finance residential development projects are presented as current assets and liabilities, unless they are not expected to be realised within the operating cycle of 5-6 years and then they are classified as non-current.

 

 

h. Property and equipment

 

1. Recognition and measurement

 

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

 

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

 

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.

 

2. Depreciation

 

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.

 

The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

 

· Furniture, office equipment and other assets 3-15 years

 

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

 

i. Investment property

 

Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property. The cost of self-constructed investment property includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the investment property to a working condition for their intended use and capitalised borrowing costs.

Any gain or loss on disposal of investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit or loss.

 

j. Financial instruments

 

The Group classifies non-derivative financial assets into the following categories: loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.

 

The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into other financial liabilities category.

 

1. Non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities - recognition and de-recognition

 

The Group initially recognises loans and receivables issued on the date when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised on the trade date when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

 

 

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or it neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control over the transferred asset. Any interest in such derecognised financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability.

The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

2. Non-derivative financial assets - measurement

 

The Group classifies non-derivative financial assets into the following categories: cash and cash equivalents, cash in escrow, restricted bank deposit, loans and receivables.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

In the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.

 

Loans and receivables

These assets are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 

3. Non-derivative financial liabilities - measurement

 

Non-derivative financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 

k. Share capital

 

Ordinary shares

 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares, net of any tax effects, are recognised as a deduction from equity. Income tax relating to transaction costs of an equity transaction is accounted for in accordance with IAS 12.

 

l. Impairment

 

1. Non- derivative financial assets

 

Financial assets not classified as at fair value through profit or loss, including an interest in an equity-accounted investment, are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment.

 

 

Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes:

 

· default or delinquency by a debtor;

· restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise;

· indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy;

· adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers;

· the disappearance of an active market for a security; or

· observable data indicating that there is measurable decrease in expected cash flows from a group of financial assets.

 

For an investment in an equity security, objective evidence of impairment includes a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost. The Group considers a decline of 20% to be significant and a period of nine months to be prolonged.

 

Financial assets measured at amortised cost

 

The Group considers evidence of impairment for these assets at both an individual asset and a collective level. All individually significant assets are individually assessed for impairment. Those found not to be impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet individually identified. Assets that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment. Collective assessment is carried out by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics.

 

In assessing collective impairment, the Group uses historical information on the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, and makes an adjustment if current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or lesser than suggested by historical trends.

 

An impairment loss is calculated as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account. When the Group considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, then the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

 

Equity-accounted investments

 

An impairment loss in respect of an equity-accounted investment is measured by comparing the recoverable amount of the investment with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, and is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

 

2. Non-financial assets

 

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than investment property, inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

 

 

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash generating units ("CGU").

 

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

 

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

 

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill (if exists) allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

 

An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

 

m. Provisions

 

Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.

 

Warranties

 

Provision for warranty costs is recognised at the date of sale of housing units, at the Company's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Group's liability.

 

n. Leases

 

1. Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease

 

At inception of an arrangement, the Group determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease.

 

At inception or on reassessment of an arrangement that contains a lease, the Group separates payments and other consideration required by the arrangement into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If the Group concludes for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payments reliably, then an asset and a liability are recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset; subsequently, the liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance cost on the liability is recognised using the Group's incremental borrowing rate.

 

 

2. Leased assets

 

Assets held by the Group under leases that transfer to the Group substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The leased assets are measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.

 

3. Lease payments

 

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

At 31 December 2016, inventory of housing units and lands comprises housing units and commercial areas in a project in Prague, Czech Republic (totalling EUR 1,776 thousands) and a plot designed for residential purposes in Romania (totalling EUR 698 thousands).

As the management does not predict the plot in Romania will be sold within the normal operating cycle it is classified as non-current inventory.

 

In 2016, inventories of EUR 5,459 thousands (2015: EUR 1,611 thousands) were recognised as an expenses during the year and included in "costs of sales", see note 21.

In 2016, inventories were written down to net realisable value in the amount of EUR 430 thousands (2015: EUR 118 thousands). This amount was recognised as an expenses in profit or loss, see note 20.

 

Refer to note 7.b.1 that describes the method used by the Company to determine the net realisable value of the plots.

 

On 29 September 2016, following the termination of the lease agreement in Serbia the management, based on its legal advisors, concluded that it is no longer bound to make any further payments on the lease liabilities and has no rights over the leased land and therefore derecognised the related land in the reporting period in the amount of EUR 8,293 thousands, see note 29.a.

 

At 31 December 2016 the inventories of housing units include capitalisation of borrowing costs in the amount of EUR 43 thousands (2015: EUR 129 thousands).

 

b. Measurement of net realisable value

 

1. General

 

The net realisable value of the inventory of housing units is based on the Group's best estimate of the expected selling price and costs of completion less selling expenses, in considering this management relied on recent transactions and current market conditions. In determining the expected selling price of the plot the Group used the services of external, independent valuation expert, having appropriate, recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of the inventories being valued, see note 2.e.3

 

At 31 December 2016 the inventories of land balance consists of one plot located in Romania which is presented, at 31 December 2016, at net realisable value in the total net amount of EUR 698 thousands (2015: EUR 902 thousands).

 

2. Valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs

 

The following information shows the valuation technique used in measuring the net realisable value of the plot of land in Romania, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

 

· Valuation technique

 

In estimating the property value in Romania the valuer used the comparison approach, and estimated the value of the plot compare to three similar plots.

 

· Significant unobservable inputs

 

- The valuer used "asking prices" with the adjustment of 15%.

- The compared plots were in the range from sqm 5,000 to sqm 10,000. Due to the differences in the size of the compared plots to the valued plot, the valuer used an adjustment of (-10%) and (-15%), the subject plot size is 77,500 sqm.

- The valuer compared plots in different locations and used adjustment up to (-5%).

- The valuer compared plots with different accesses available level and used adjustment of (-5%)

- The valuer compared plots with different market conditions and used an adjustment of (-5%) and (-10%)

 

· Inter-relationship between key unobservable inputs and measurement of net realisable value

 

The estimated net realisable value would increase (decrease) if:

- The valuer used higher adjustment on the used "asking prices".

- The valuer used lower (higher) adjustment on the compared plot size in the case of smaller plots than the subject property.

- The valuer used lower (higher) adjustment range which relates to superior/inferior location.

(a) See note 29.a.

(b) The functional currency of the subsidiary which holds the investment property ("Marina Dorcol D.o.o") is Serbian Dinar ("RSD").

 

Until 29 September 2016, the Group leased one property under a finance lease from the municipality of Belgrade, Serbia. The Group classified the asset as investment property since management's intention was to hold the property for long term, for capital appreciation or to earn future rentals or both.

 

On 29 September 2016, following the termination of lease agreement in Serbia the management, based on its legal advisors, concluded that it is no longer bound to make any further payments on the lease liabilities and has no rights over the leased land and therefore derecognised the related investment property in the reporting period in the amount of EUR 17,218 thousands, see note 29.a.

 

In 2009 and 2011 the Group pledged the shares of Marina Dorcol d.o.o ("MD") which held the investment property to secure credit facilities granted to the Group by the parent company, see note 30.c.1.ii.

Comments in respect to the investment in MLP:

 

i. In previous periods the joint venture accumulated losses and thus the Company recognised a loss related to the loan given to MLP that was part of the net investment and presented the loss as share of profit of equity-accounted investment in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

 

ii. The Company did not provide any guarantees for the joint venture and has not incurred legal and constructive obligation on behalf of the joint venture; therefore losses are accounted for to the extent that the Company's interest is reduced to zero.

 

iii. Loans granted by the Company to joint venture -

· Are denominated in CAD currency.

· Bear no interest.

· Have not set a repayment date. Repayment is expected from the proceeds of the sale of the related projects financed by the loans.

· During 2016, a total amount of EUR 1,242 thousands was repaid by MLP to the Company (2015: EUR 351 thousands).

 

iv. Significant events during current reporting period:

 

1. On 13 January 2016, MLP completed the sale of two plots of land held for residential development purposes in Canada for a total cash consideration of CAD 20,227 thousands (EUR 13,095 thousands).

 

MLP recognised a profit before income tax in the amount of EUR 2,815 thousands (the Company's share was EUR 563 thousands and it was recognised under the "share of profit of equity-accounted investments, net of tax").

 

During the reporting period the Company and Silverpeak agreed to distribute funds generated from the above sales to the partners.

 

The 20% share of ECG trust in the distribution was CAD 3,500 thousands (EUR 2,434 thousands). The trustee agreed to distribute to the Company an amount of CAD 1,716 thousands (EUR 1,193 thousands) and that the rest would be held back until the final tax clearance from the Canadian tax authorities will be received. These amounts held back are being presented under "Prepayments and other assets" in the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

The net proceeds which were received till today from the above distribution have been used for the repayment of the loan granted by Real Property Investment (Guernsey) Ltd., see note 30.c.3.

Based on prior agreements with ERD, all the net future proceeds generated from the Company's assets in Canada will be used to repay the outstanding debts of the Company due to ERD.

 

b. Arces International B.V.

 

Arces International B.V. ("Arces") - a holding company domiciled in The Netherlands. Until August 2015, the Company and HCEPP II Luxembourg Master S.à r.l ("Heitman") each held 50% of Arces' issued share capital.

(d) The overdue amounts carried an average penalty interest of 1.4% per month (average of 12.21% for the period till date of the termination of the lease agreement on 29 September 2016). The penalty sums to an amount of EUR 2,307 thousands (2015: EUR 3,435 thousands).

(e) According to the revised lease agreement which was signed on 30 August 2010, the lease instalments which were due after the signature date of the agreement were postponed to the years 2014-2016 and carried a discount of 30% in case the Company would pay them on time (similar terms to the original agreement which was signed in 2006).

Since the Group did not pay the instalments which were due, the Company recognised a loss of discount in the amount of EUR 2,309 thousands in 2015.

(f) The net foreign exchange losses includes a loss in the amount of EUR 1,252 thousands (2015: EUR 2,726 thousands) due to the weakening of the EUR vs. the ILS on the loans granted to the Company by ERD, see note 30.d.(b).

d. Unrecognised deferred tax assets

 

Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of tax losses carry forward amounting to EUR 37,973 thousands at 31 December 2016 (2015: EUR 36,735 thousands), because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can use the benefits therefrom.

 

As per the limitation of the accumulated tax losses per each country, see clause e below.

 

e. Main tax laws

 

The main tax laws to which the Group companies are subject in their countries of residence are as follows:

 

1. The Netherlands

 

Companies resident in the Netherlands are subject to corporate income tax at the general rate of 25% (2015: 25%). The first EUR 200,000 of profits is taxed at a rate of 20%. Tax losses may be carried back for one year and carried forward for nine years. As part of the measures to combat the consequences of the economic crisis, taxpayers can elect for an extension of the loss carry back period to three years (instead of one year). The election is only available for losses suffered in the taxable years 2009, 2010 and 2011. If a taxpayer makes use of the election, two additional limitations apply: (i) the loss carry forward period for the taxable years 2009, 2010 and/or 2011 will be limited to a maximum of six years (instead of nine years); and (ii) the maximum amount of loss that can be carried back to the second and third year preceding the taxable year will be limited to EUR 10 million per year. The amount of loss that can be carried back to the year directly proceeding the taxable year for which the election is made will remain unrestricted. As of the taxable year 2012, the election for extended loss carry back is not available anymore and the regular loss carry back and carry forward limitations apply.

 

Under the participation exemption rules, income (including dividends and capital gains) derived by Netherlands companies in respect of qualifying investments in the nominal paid up share capital of resident or non-resident investee companies, is exempt from Netherlands corporate income tax provided the conditions as set under these rules have been satisfied. Such conditions require, among others, a minimum percentage ownership interest in the investee company and require the investee company to satisfy at least one of the following tests:

· Motive Test, the investee company is not held as passive investment;

· Tax Test, the investee company is taxed locally at an effective rate of at least 10% (calculated based on Dutch tax accounting standards);

· Asset Test, the investee company owns (directly and indirectly) less than 50% low taxed passive assets.

 

2. Czech Republic

 

The corporation tax rate in the Czech Republic is 19 % in 2016 (2015: 19%). Capital gain could be tax exempted under certain circumstances. Tax losses can be carried forward up to five years to offset future taxable income, under certain circumstance (e.g. no significant change in the business, ownership). Dividends paid out of net income are subject to a withholding tax of 15%/35%, subject to the relevant double taxation treaty or EU regulations.

 

 

3. Israel

 

The standard rate of company tax in Israel in 2016 is 25% (2015: 26.5%). Companies with a beneficial or approved or preferred enterprise are taxed at a reduced tax rate that varies depending on the circumstances. Capital gains are subject to the standard corporate tax rate. Dividends from foreign sources are subject to a 25% tax with a credit for foreign withholding tax, and in certain circumstances, at the standard corporate tax rate on the "grossed up dividend" with a credit granted on all foreign taxes paid by the direct and second tier subsidiary on the dividend and the income from which it is distributed.

 

4. Poland

 

The corporation tax in Poland (including capital gains) is 19% in 2016 (2015: 19%).Tax losses can be carried forward for five years and only 50% of a the current year profit could be cover by past losses. Dividends paid out of net income are subject to a withholding tax of 19%, subject to the relevant double taxation treaty or EU regulations.

 

5. Canada

 

The federal corporate tax rate of the subsidiaries incorporated in Canada (including capital gains) is 15% in 2016 (2015: 15%). The combined corporate and provincial tax rate is 26.5% (2015: 26.5%). Non-capital tax losses can be carried back three years and carried forward up to 20 years for losses arising in 2006 and later, 10 years for losses arising in taxation years ending after 22 March 2004 and before 2006, 7 years for losses arising in taxation years ending before 23 March 2004. Capital tax losses can be carried back three years and carried forward indefinitely against other capital gains. Dividends paid out of net income are subject to a withholding tax of 25%, subject to the relevant double taxation treaty.

 

6. Romania

 

The corporation tax in Romania (including capital gains) is 16% in 2016 (2015: 16%). Dividends paid out of net income are subject to a withholding tax of 16%, subject to the relevant double taxation treaty or EU regulations. Tax losses can be carried forward and deducted from taxable profits in the following 7-year period (the carry forward period for losses recorded up to 31 December 2008 is 5 years), on a first-in-first-out basis.

 

7. Serbia

 

Corporate income tax is levied at a rate of 15% in 2016 (2015: 15%). Capital gains are taxable at the rate of 15%. Losses may be carried forward for 5 years (capital loss could be carried forward separately); losses generated in the period 2003-2009 may be carried forward for 10 years. No carry-back of losses is permitted. Dividends paid outside the country are subject to a withholding tax of 20% subject to the relevant double taxation treaty.

NOTE 27 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - FAIR VALUE AND RISK MANAGEMENT

 

a. Financial risk management

 

The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

 

· Credit risk;

· Liquidity risk; and

· Market risk.

 

i. Risk management framework

 

The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework. The board of directors is responsible for developing and monitoring the Group's risk management policies.

 

The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

 

 

The Group Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group.

 

ii. Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers.

 

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

 

The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk associated with the industry and country in which customers operate.

 

The Group's exposure to credit risk is minimised by the requirement for customers to pay most of the amount due on purchased housing units and/or sold plots prior to their handover.

 

The Group limits its exposure to credit risk arising from bank deposits by transacting only with reputable bank counterparties that have a credit rating higher than that of the Group. Additionally, the Group reduces its exposure to credit risk by depositing its financial funds in different and independent bank institutions.

 

iii. Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.

 

In order to handle the liquidity risk of the Company, the management realised several assets during the reporting periods in Czech Republic and Canada. In addition the Company is acting to minimise its operational costs.

 

See note 2.b which includes the Group's going concern analysis and describes the financial difficulties and liquidity risks.

 

Exposure to liquidity risk

 

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of the financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.

The interest payments on variable interest rate loans and finance lease liability in the table above reflect market forward interest rates at the reporting date and these amounts may change as market interest rates change. It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis for 31 December 2016 could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts.

 

 

iv. Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices - will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

 

· Currency and inflation risk

 

The Group presents its consolidated financial statements in Euro. However, the Group's holds entities which are based locally in a number of different countries including Romania, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Canada and Israel, and therefore the Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group entities, primarily the Euro. The Group's financial results could, therefore, be adversely affected by fluctuations in the exchange rates between the Euro and the local currencies. The Group mitigates its foreign exchange risk by financing development projects through financial liabilities that are denominated in the currency of the country the project is located in and in which revenues from the projects will be generated.

 

The Group is exposed to changes in the customer price index in Israel and to the change in the exchange rates of the New Israeli Shekel on the loans granted by ERD, see note 13 and clause a.iv under this note.

 

The Group was also exposed to changes in the local retail price index in Belgrade on the finance lease payments of the property in Belgrade, Serbia; see note 12, clause a.iv under this note and note 29.a.

 

The Group does not currently engage in hedging or use any other financial arrangement to minimise currency exchange and inflation risks or the translation risk related to foreign operations.

 

Exposure to currency and inflation risks

 

The summary quantitative data about the Group's exposure to currency risk as reported to the management of the Group is as follows:

Sensitivity analysis

 

A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Euro against the below currencies and possible changes of the customer price and the local retail price indexes in Israel and Serbia at 31 December would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and affected profit or loss and equity by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.

At 31 December 2016, a weakening of the Euro and/or a change of the customer price and local retail price index to the opposite direction in Israel would have had the equal, but opposite effect on the profit for the year and equity to the amount shown above on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

 

 

· Interest rate risk

 

The Group's interest rate risk arises mainly from short-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flows interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group does not currently engage in hedging or use any other financial arrangement to minimise the exposure to these risks.

Sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments

 

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments

 

A reasonable possible change of 3 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency exchange rates, remain constant.

There is no impact on the Group's equity, except of the profit or loss.

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed-rate instruments

 

The Group does not account for any fixed-rate financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and the Group does not designate derivatives (interest rate swaps) as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

The fair value of loans and amounts to related parties has been calculated using an estimated market interest rate of 0.5% (2015: 0.5%) taking into consideration the specific loans conditions (securities provided, currency, etc.).

 

The fair value of loans and amounts due to related parties and joint venture has been calculated using an estimated market interest rate of 4.95% (2015: 6.95%) taking into consideration the specific loans conditions (securities provided, currency, etc.).

 

The fair value of short term receivables and payables expected to be settled within 12 months was deemed to be equal to their carrying amounts.

 

 

NOTE 28 - CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

 

a. Warranties and guarantees

 

In case of the Group entities which are engaged in the construction and sale of residential housing units, the entities provide and/or will provide their customers with performance and quality guarantees in accordance with the Czech, Polish, Romanian or Serbian civil codes. The entities require from the sub-contractors building the housing units, performance and quality guarantees in the form of bank guarantees and of funds held in retention. At the end of the reporting period given guarantees do not represent a significant amount and are covered by contractor guarantee.

 

 

b. Guarantees on loans granted to previous jointly controlled entities

 

The loans granted to the previous jointly controlled entities have been provided to individual entities and each loan has been granted in respect of a specific project. In each case, the security for the loan is a first ranking lien on the assets of the project company. The first ranking liens include: liens on rights for the land and the projects for which the loans were received and liens on rights, pursuant to the agreements to which the Company is a party to. Further, loans that these companies have received from their shareholders and/or every existing or future right of the holders of the rights in those companies are subordinated to the loans received from the banks. In addition, in most cases payments to the shareholders from the entities (including dividend payments but excluding amounts in respect of project management) are not allowed, until the interest-bearing bank loan has been repaid.

 

The Group has not provided any securities in respect of the interest-bearing bank loans granted to its subsidiaries and previous joint ventures, except the following case:

 

· ENMAN B.V. ("ENMAN"), the company's subsidiary, provided guarantees for interest payments and cost overruns, to the bank which financed the Ingatlan project in Budapest, Hungary.

In 2013, a receiver was appointed by a court in Hungary and the entity which holds the Ingatlan project entered into bankruptcy process, and consequently, it is not consolidated into these consolidated financial statements. The amount of the unpaid loan at the date of deconsolidation was EUR 6,099 thousands, part of the related interest and cost overrun was not paid before the bankruptcy (liquidation) process.

 

A liability was recognised in these consolidated financial statements according to management's best estimation.

 

 

NOTE 29 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE REPORTING PERIODS

 

a. Termination of lease agreement in Serbia

 

On 30 March 2006 and 18 February 2008 Marina Dorcol d.o.o ("MD") (a 95% owned subsidiary of the Company) signed several lease agreements with the Directorate for City Building Land, controlled by the Municipality of Belgrade ("the Municipality").

Since January 2011, MD has been in breach of the obligation to make the lease payments, following which the Company recognised during the reporting period, an expense of EUR 2,580 thousands as a result of the lease interest and inflation on the unpaid overdue lease contracted payments.

 

Following the breach the Municipality initiated several claims during recent and previous periods to collect those debts.

 

On 3 June 2016, MD received from the Mayor of Belgrade a notice of termination of the lease agreement MD has in respect of the Marina Dorcol Project in Belgrade, Serbia.

 

On 22 July 2016, the Municipality sent MD a unilateral termination of the lease agreement over the Marina Dorcol Project in Belgrade, Serbia ("termination letter").

 

On 29 September 2016, MD notified the Municipality that it accepted the termination letter and wished to negotiate with the Municipality in order to determine the amount and timing of the compensation due to MD as a result of the above termination.

 

 

Based on the agreement with the municipality, management believes that the final result of the termination will be the restitution of the amounts paid by MD less the amount of compensation to the Municipality for usage of such land for the period of duration of lease and for compensation of damages which occurred to the Municipality, if any. The Company and MD are currently in the process of negotiation with the Municipality about the amount and timing of the restitution.

 

Management expects that following the termination it will have a net cash inflow from the above restitution, however, the net cash flow and the timing to conclude the settlement with the Municipality cannot be predicted at this stage with certainty. Based on MD's advisers, the range of the restitution can be in the amount of RSD 337,507 thousands (approximately EUR 2,737 thousands) to RSD 487,316 thousands (approximately EUR 3,952 thousands).

 

As management has no certainty of the amount that MD will be able to collect from the Municipality, management did not record receivables at the Company's consolidated financial statements generated from the above mentioned restitution of the lease agreement.

 

As MD is no longer bound to make any further payments on the lease liabilities on one hand and has no rights over the leased land on the other hand, the management of the Group derecognised of the lease liability and related asset in the reporting period.

 

As a consequence, income of EUR 23,510 thousands was recognised in profit and loss under "other income" in the consolidated financial statements.

 

The following table summarises the derecognised amounts of assets and liabilities including the related translation adjustment at the date of accepting the termination letter:

b. On 26 January 2016, the Company sold its investment in its wholly owned subsidiary, Davero Invest s.r.l ("Davero").

 

As a consequence the Company no longer controls Davero, therefore ceased consolidating Davero in its consolidated financial statements. The Company recognised income of EUR 115 thousands under "other income" in the consolidated statement of profit or loss on the sale of its investment in Davero.

c. On 16 December 2015, Arces signed a conditional agreement to sell its shares and receivables in the wholly owned subsidiary Palace Engel Vokovice s.r.o ("Vokovice s.r.o").

 

On 14 March 2016 the sale was completed. As the plot of land held by Vokovice s.r.o was measured as of 31 December 2015 based on its net realisable value which was determined based on the transaction price in the conditional agreement the transaction did not generate any material result in the profit or loss of the consolidated financial statements.

 

The proceeds have been used for the repayment of the loan granted by Real Property Investment (Guernsey) Ltd., see note 30.c.3.

 

d. On 15 July 2016, the Company sold its investment in the wholly owned subsidiary, Arces International B.V. ("Arces") to a third party for an immaterial amount.

 

As a consequence the Company no longer controls Arces, therefore ceased consolidating Arces in its consolidated financial statements. The Company recognised income of EUR 3,711 thousands under "other income" in profit or loss on the sale of its investment in Arces.

 

The income was mainly due to a recognised liability of Arces' for a finance exposure with respect to interest-bearing bank loans that financed the project in Gyor, Hungary. The bank claims that the loan was additionally guaranteed by Arces. Arces has disputed the validity of this guarantee with the bank; however, no official legal claim has been filed by any of the parties.

 

The Company did not provide any guarantees for Arces' and its subsidiaries' liabilities.

NOTE 30 - RELATED PARTIES

 

a. Parent and ultimate controlling party

 

The main shareholder of the Company is Engel General Developers Ltd. (incorporated in Israel) ("EGD") which owns, at 31 December 2016, 68.35% of the Company's issued share capital. Engel Resources and Development Ltd. (incorporated in Israel) ("ERD") holds 100% of the share capital of EGD.

 

During the reporting period, the transfer of 2,871,460 ordinary shares ("Shares") in ERD held by advocates Yuri Nechushtan and Eyal Neiger as receivers to GBES Ltd. ("GBES") has been completed.

The ownership of the Shares was to be split between GBES and the Gabay Group, an Israeli real estate group (the "Gabay Group"). As an interim measure, during the first quarter of 2016, the Shares were transferred to GBES that held 1,133,372 ordinary shares in ERD in trust for the Gabay Group. As a result, GBES held 2,871,460 ordinary shares in ERD (representing 53.0% of the voting rights of ERD) and the Gabay Group held 536,555 ordinary shares in ERD (representing 9.9% of the voting rights of ERD).

 

During the second quarter of 2016, the ownership of 1,133,372 ordinary shares in ERD previously held in trust by GBES was transferred to a company that is 100% owned by Mr Eli Gabay.

 

As a result, GBES holds 1,738,088 ordinary shares in ERD (representing 32.1% of the voting right of ERD) and Gabay Group (through two different entities) holds a total of 1,669,927 ordinary shares in ERD (representing 30.9% of the voting right of ERD), including the 536,555 ordinary shares in ERD held by Gabay Group prior to the splitting of the Shares.

 

Accordingly, GBES currently holds a 21.9% economic interest in the Company and the Gabay Group currently holds a 21.1% economic interest in the Company.

 

In addition, Real Property Investment (Guernsey) Ltd. ("RPIGL") holds 6.4% of the voting rights and issued share capital of the Company. The shares of RPIGL and GBES are held by a discretionary settlement, of which certain members of the Morris family are potential beneficiaries, and which therefore currently has a combined economic interest in 28.3% of the Company.

 

In 2014, ERD has reached an agreement with its bondholders to restructure the terms of its bonds. As part of the agreement, EGD granted to the bondholders security over the 60 million shares in the Company held by EGD (represent 68.35% of the issued share capital of the Company). In addition, ERD has pledged to the bondholders all future loan repayments such as made by the Company and Eurobul to ERD and assigned the pledges over the shares held by the Company in Marina Dorcol D.o.o. The pledges over these shares were granted to ERD as part of the loan agreement between Eurobul, the Company and ERD.

NOTE 31 - OPERATING SEGMENTS

 

a. Basis of segmentation

 

The Group's CODM (the chief operating decision maker) considers the whole operation as one operating segment while trying to ensure sufficient liquidity to meet the liabilities when due. The liquidity issues the Group is currently facing require a general decision making process which is different from a company or group of companies operating in a liquid position.

 

b. Geographical information

 

The geographic information analyses the Group's revenue and non-current assets by the Company's country of domicile and other countries. In presenting the geographic information, segment revenue has been based on the geographic location of customers and segment assets were based on the geographic location of the assets.

NOTE 32 - NEW IFRS PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

A number of new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2016; however, the Group has not applied the following new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

 

a. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2014)

(Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018; to be applied retrospectively with some exemptions. The restatement of prior periods is not required, and is permitted only if information is available without the use of hindsight. Early application is permitted).

 

This Standard replaces IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, except that the IAS 39 exception for a fair value hedge of an interest rate exposure of a portfolio of financial assets or financial liabilities continues to apply, and entities have an accounting policy choice between applying the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 or continuing to apply the existing hedge accounting requirements in IAS 39 for all hedge accounting.

 

Although the permissible measurement bases for financial assets - amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) - are similar to IAS 39, the criteria for classification into the appropriate measurement category are significantly different.

 

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if the following two conditions are met:

· the assets is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and,

· its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding.

 

In addition, for a non-trading equity instrument, a company may elect to irrevocably present subsequent changes in fair value (including foreign exchange gains and losses) in OCI. These are not reclassified to profit or loss under any circumstances.

 

For debt instruments measured at FVOCI, interest revenue, expected credit losses and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the same manner as for amortised cost assets. Other gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are reclassified to profit or loss on derecognition.

 

The impairment model in IFRS 9 replaces the 'incurred loss' model in IAS 39 with an 'expected credit loss' model, which means that a loss event will no longer need to occur before an impairment allowance is recognised.

 

The Group does not expect IFRS 9 (2014) to have material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The classification and measurement of the financial instruments are not expected to change under IFRS 9 because of the nature of the Group's operations and the types of financial instruments that it holds. The Group believes that impairment losses are not likely to change for assets in the scope of expected credit loss impairment model. The Group has not yet finalised the impairment methodologies that it will apply under IFRS 9.

 

 

b. IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers

(Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Earlier application is permitted).

Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is not yet endorsed by the EU but IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers including Effective Date of IFRS 15 have been endorsed by the EU.

 

The new Standard provides a framework that replaces existing revenue recognition guidance in IFRS. Entities will adopt a five-step model to determine when to recognise revenue, and at what amount. The new model specifies that revenue should be recognised when (or as) an entity transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount to which the entity expects to be entitled. Depending on whether certain criteria are met, revenue is recognised:

· over time, in a manner that depicts the entity's performance; or

· at a point in time, when control of the goods or services is transferred to the customer.

 

IFRS 15 also establishes the principles that an entity shall apply to provide qualitative and quantitative disclosures which provide useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer.

 

Management has not yet fully completed its initial assessment of the potential impact of IFRS 15 on the Group's consolidated financial statements, and has not yet prepared an analysis of the expected quantitative impact of the new standard. The Group currently plans to apply the full retrospective approach when it initially applies IFRS 15, to improve comparability across years.

 

c. IFRS 16 Leases

(Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Earlier application is permitted if the entity also applies IFRS 15). This pronouncement is not yet endorsed by the EU.

 

IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 Leases and related interpretations. The Standard eliminates the current dual accounting model for lessees and instead requires companies to bring most leases on-balance sheet under a single model, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases.

 

Under IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. For such contracts, the new model requires a lessee to recognise a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-of-use asset is depreciated and the liability accrues interest. This will result in a front-loaded pattern of expense for most leases, even when the lessee pays constant annual rentals.

 

The new Standard introduces a number of limited scope exceptions for lessees which include:

· leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and containing no purchase options, and

· leases where the underlying asset has a low value ('small-ticket' leases).

 

Lessor accounting shall remain largely unaffected by the introduction of the new Standard and the distinction between operating and finance leases will be retained.

 

The Group does not expect that the new Standard, when initially applied, will have material impact on the financial statements because the Group is not party to a contractual arrangement that would be in the scope of IFRS 16.

 

 

d. Amendments to IFRS 2: Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions

(Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018; to be applied prospectively. Early application is permitted). This pronouncement is not yet endorsed by the EU.

 

The amendments clarify share-based payment accounting on the following areas:

· the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments;

· share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations; and

· a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity settled.

 

The Group expects that the amendments, when initially applied, will not have a material impact on the presentation of the financial statements of the Group because the Group does not enter into share-based payment transactions.

 

e. Amendments to IAS 7 Disclosure Initiative

(Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017, to be applied prospectively. Early application is permitted). This pronouncement is not yet endorsed by the EU.

 

The amendments require new disclosures that help users to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including changes from cash flows and non-cash changes (such as the effect of foreign exchange gains or losses, changes arising for obtaining or losing control of subsidiaries, changes in fair value).

 

The Group has not yet prepared an analysis of the impact this might have on its consolidated financial statement.

 

f. Amendments to IAS 12: Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses

(Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017; to be applied prospectively. Early application is permitted). This pronouncement is not yet endorsed by the EU.

 

The amendments clarify how and when to account for deferred tax assets in certain situations and clarify how future taxable income should be determined for the purposes of assessing the recognition of deferred tax assets.

 

The Group expects that the amendments, when initially applied, will not have a material impact on the presentation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group because it already measures future taxable profit in a manner consistent with the Amendments

 

 

g. Amendments to IAS 40 Transfers of Investment Property

(Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018; to be applied prospectively). This pronouncement is not yet endorsed by the EU.

 

The amendments reinforce the principle for transfers into, or out of, investment property in IAS 40 Investment Property to specify that such a transfer should only be made when there has been a change in use of the property. Based on the amendments a transfer is made when and only when there is an actual change in use - i.e. an asset meets or ceases to meet the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use. A change in management intention alone does not support a transfer.

 

The Group does not expect that the amendments will have a material impact on the financial statements because the Group does not have any investment properties.

 

h. IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

(Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). This pronouncement is not yet endorsed by the EU.

 

The Interpretation clarifies how to determine the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration in a foreign currency. In such circumstances, the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity initially recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration.

 

The Entity does not expect that the Interpretation, when initially applied, will have material impact on the financial statements as the Entity uses the exchange rate on the transaction date for the initial recognition of the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration.

 

The Group does not expect that the Interpretation, when initially applied, will have material impact on the financial statements as the Group uses the exchange rate on the transaction date for the initial recognition of the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration.
