o NOI now stands at c. ~€8 million following the completion of the acquisition in Craiova post period end
· Blue chip tenants on long leases in acquired properties including: multinational logistics company Kuehne and Nagel; Pratiker; and the Romanian Telecoms Regulator - long lease terms provide revenue visibility

Lambros G. Anagnostopoulos, Chief Executive Officer, said, "Thanks to the acquisition of a further five properties, the six months under review has seen excellent progress made towards delivering on our objective to build a diversified portfolio of prime properties in South Eastern Europe with visible income streams and significant capital growth potential. The numbers speak for themselves: we now have a portfolio of six income producing property assets in four countries in the region as well as residential and land non-core assets; our AuM now stands at €126 million; while our annualised NOI totals c. €8m. As a result we now have a cash generative, asset backed platform in place which will allow us to accelerate the roll-out of our strategy through the acquisition of additional properties that fit our investment criteria: prime locations; strong covenants with blue chip tenants on long term rental contracts; secured at attractive high yields.
"We believe we are in the right market at the right time. The supply and demand dynamics of the region's commercial property markets remain favourable in terms of future rental growth and potential capital uplift. Meanwhile the commencement of the ECB's quantitative easing programme earlier in the year provides a significant tailwind to the ongoing European yield compression play which in our view has a long way to run further, particularly in our core area of focus. Backed by a strong team of non-executive directors, seasoned executives and experienced staff and advisers, which has proven its ability to identify and secure prime properties at attractive prices, Secure is ideally placed to deliver on its goal to create the leading institutional South Eastern European income producing and dividend yielding property company."

In summary |
The first half of 2015 saw SPDI complete the first phase of its expansion and diversification plan. By the end of June 2015, the Company owned assets in Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and Ukraine, the four largest (by population) countries of South East Europe, attaining three distinct stated goals:
a) diversifying its asset base with no-one country presenting more than 50% of its AUM. b) growing to more than EUR 100m of Assets under Management, and c) building up a strong Operating Revenue stream that would facilitate both return to its shareholders as well as further asset growth.
To achieve these goals, management's efforts in the first months of 2015 were focused on both the efficient raising of capital and the acquisition of assets, which meet our investment criteria. SPDI raised more than EUR 10m of new capital through an open offer to its shareholders in March 2015 and through the execution of warrants in July 2015. In parallel SPDI concluded or signed the agreement for the acquisition of the following assets:
1. A fully let 17.000 sqm logistics park west of Athens, the majority of which is let to the German logistics operator Kuehne + Nagel, generating ~EUR 1,5 net operating income. The logistics centre also has a 1MW photovoltaic park installation on its roof generating and selling electricity to the grid, 2. A fully let 19.000 sqm office building in Sofia (20% ownership) let to one of Bulgaria's largest insurance companies, generating EUR 2,9m net operating income, 3. A fully let 9.000 sqm retail property in Craiova, Romania, rented to Praktiker, a leading European DIY retailer, generating EUR 1m of net operating income, 4. A fully let 10.000 sqm office building in Bucharest (24,35% ownership) mostly let to Romania's Telecom Regulatory Authority generating EUR 1,75m net operating income, and 5. A portfolio of residential properties in Bucharest and Sofia, the majority of which are currently let, generating more than EUR 0,3m annual rental revenues. These properties are for sale.
True to our strategy to grow the Company with the lowest possible cash outlay, the last three assets were acquired by SPDI in exchange for newly issued shares in the Company. This has not only facilitated the task of surpassing the EUR 100m AUM mark and ending the period with EUR 126m AUM, but has also brought onto the Company's shareholder register a number of highly respected institutional investors in the region who share the Company's vision and strategy to build the prime professional real estate company in the region. In addition, the acquisitions increased the Company's annualized Net Operating Income by EUR 3m.
While the economic climate in Europe improved further in the first half of 2015, Greece lapsed back into political turmoil with the new Government elected in January 2015 abandoning the path prescribed by the agreements between the old government and its EU creditors. By August 2015, and after various failed attempts to change course and a July referendum, a new agreement with the creditors had been signed, indicating signs of stabilization, needed for the country to return to a growth path following six years of harsh recession. At the same time, Ukraine continued its path towards taking political stabilization measures, even though the economic recession that has followed the 2014 war with Russia and the ensuing large devaluation of the local currency has taken a bigger bite of the economy than the semester before hand. Even though the IMF and other international bodies are working with the Ukrainian government to minimize the effects of such recession, the country's economy is not expected to pick up within 2015. On the contrary, Romania's economy continues its fast ascent, with GDP growth above 3,4%, low unemployment and FDI picking up, making Romania a high growth economy target for the next few years. It is this fundamental macroeconomic environment that guided SPDI's growth pattern that has left the Company at the end of the period with its highest property exposure in Romania (58%) and much lower in Greece (16%), Ukraine (35%) or Bulgaria (17%).
The global macroeconomic picture has also provided a positive tailwind over the review period. In March 2015, Europe entered a period of Quantitative Easing which signals the continuation of the low interest rate environment while the US is expected to turn the corner with interest rates picking up. As a result, European Real Estate is becoming more and more attractive for global investors, particularly South East Europe where asset prices are low. This is the macro environment in which the Company expects to prevail for the next 12 months and plans to take advantage of for the benefit of its shareholders. As a result, and following the success of the Open Offer to shareholders and the ensuing property asset acquisitions, the Company engaged a small number of advisers - brokers on both sides of the Atlantic to facilitate further growth, as per its vision guided strategy.
As at period end, all our income generating properties have prime locations, generate substantial income from blue chip tenants, provide immediate stable cash flows with long term visibility, and offer scope for significant capital uplift over the short to medium term, as the on-going European yield compression play gathers momentum across the continent. Thanks to the progress made during the six months, Secure has a highly cash generative platform from which to accelerate the roll-out of its strategy to grow its portfolio of prime real estate, and in the process build the leading institutional South Eastern European income producing and dividend yielding property company.

P&L |
The table below presents the operating performance in the last 3 years: |
|
Note 1: this includes a) the upward revaluation of Ukrainian assets caused by the foreign exchange difference between the US$ and the EUR (in itself mostly negated by the devaluation of the UAH) minus b) a precautionary provision that management has taken on the recently acquired assets. Note 2: these relate to the EBRD loan towards Terminal Brovary (mostly hedged due to the USD denominated income) and to various intercompany loans for which any associated losses, (predominately paper), are caused by the devaluation of the UAH from 8 at the beginning of the year to 23 to the US$ by the end of the reporting period (a drop of ~65%).

Romania Romania's GDP expanded by a real 3,7% yoy in H1 2015, as per the indication provided by the country's statistics office. In Q2 2015, GDP grew by 3,2% yoy, one of the highest in EU-28. According to recent reports, this growing trend is expected to continue throughout the rest of 2015, forecasting a yoy GDP growth of 3,4% overall.
CPI is negative at 1,7% so far for the year while the recent VAT rate decreasing for all food products from 24% to 9% has contributed another -0,2% for June. The unemployment rate was 6,8% at the end of June, remaining stable compared with a year ago, while the industrial output index for the first seven months of 2015 registered a 2,6% increase yoy.
In May, the National Bank of Romania decreased the monetary policy rate to a record low of 1,75%. Exchange rates remained stable over the first 6 months, fluctuating between RON 4,40 to RON 4,48 to the EUR. Government debt decreased below 38,5% of GDP, the third lowest in the EU, while foreign direct investments in H1 2015 totaled EUR 1,66 billion, 39% higher than last year.

Bulgaria The pace of growth in Q1 2015 (2% yoy) was the strongest since Q2 2011 increasing by 2,2% year-on-year with the strongest contribution coming from net exports.
Bulgaria posted a consolidated budget surplus of EUR 455 million for H1 2015 or 1,1% of the country's projected GDP, compared to a deficit of EUR 509 million for the same period last year.
CPI in June 2015 stood at -0,6% yoy. Foreign direct investment for the period January-May 2015 amounted to EUR 617 million, compared to the EUR 622 million for the same period in 2014. The unemployment rate was 9,6% in June, matching EU's average rate, while the country's industrial output rose by 5,7% yoy. Exchange rates remained stable over the first 6 months at BGN 1,96 to the EUR.

Ukraine The ongoing conflict in the Eastern border and sharp depreciation of the hryvnya in Q1 2015, have led the economy into a deep recession without signs of clear stabilization as of yet. In accordance with the preliminary estimates of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine, in the first half of 2015 real GDP contracted by -16,3% yoy. If this is sustained through the year the aggregate recession in Ukraine since late 2013 is expected to exceed 50% in USD terms.
The official exchange rate was 15,78 UAH / USD at the start of 2015 and reached its record of 30 UAH/USD in February 2015. By the end of the first quarter of 2015 the official exchange rate stabilized at around 23 UAH/USD and during the second quarter of 2015 it was largely stable, varying in the range of 20,5-22 UAH/USD.
In January-June 2015, consumer price inflation reached 48,1% year-on-year, compared to 5,8% in the first half of 2014, with the main contributor being the sharp depreciation of the UAH and the resultant increase in prices for imported goods, increase of the state-regulated tariffs and high inflation expectations.
Currently Ukraine remains dependant on the USD 17,5 billion IMF loan. After the review of the authorities' performance under the programme, IMF allocated the second tranche amounting to USD 1,7 billion in early August 2015 and discussions for a restructuring of the debt including a write off are fully fledged at the moment.

Greece After bailout talks between the Greek government and foreign lenders broke down during the last weekend of June, the European Central Bank froze vital ELA funding support to Greek banks, leaving Athens with little choice but to shut down the system to keep the banks from collapsing by imposing capital controls. As a result of these actions the Athens Stock Exchange closed from June 26 to August 3. On July 13, Eurozone leaders reached a unanimous agreement over a third Greek bailout. The Greek government managed to pass the measures by parliamentary majority on August 14, so Greece will be able to benefit from the ~EUR 86 bln of bailout loans. Following that, the government resigned and announced early elections for September 20, which resulted in the same government coalition. Amidst a very negative environment Greece's GDP grew 0,8% in Q2 2015, mainly driven by the ongoing tourist season and higher private consumption during the days of capital controls as people feared losing their money and preferred to spend it! Assuming that the elections will facilitate the formation of a coalition government that will actively pursue fulfilling the prerequisites of the bailout program the Greek economy is expected to be slowly back on track within 2016.

3.1 Romania |
General The total investment volume registered in Romania in the first six months of 2015 was modest compared to H1 2015, recording a 78% decrease, but the low level of investment volume can be explained by the effervescence registered at the end of 2014. |
Logistics Market In H1 2015, the industrial property stock increased by 100.000 sqm to approximately 2.000.000 sqm., of which half is in Bucharest with another 160.000sqm yet to be added by year end. But still take up is very high levels with vacancy in Bucharest being less than 9% (outside Bucharest 10-12%) while prime rents remained relatively stable at EUR 3,5-4 per sqm. |
Office Market Total stock of office space reached 2,25 million sqm in H1 2015, with new deliveries accounting for approx. 50.000 sqm. In Q1 2015, 37% from total leasing activity (56.000 sqm) was dominated by transactions performed by tenants from the IT&C sector. This trend continued even stronger in the second quarter, reaching 72% of TLA (75.000 sqm). Vacancy rates continue to be uneven between sub-markets, which is also reflected in the evolution of the rental levels. While in South, Baneasa and Pipera North vacancy rates are above 30%, the vacancy rate in Dimitrie Pompeiu, Floreasca Barbu Vacarescu, North, Central-North, CBD and West is below 10%. Overall vacancy stands at 13%, slightly decreased from 14% at the end of 2014. Headline rent remains at ~EUR 18,5 per sqm. |
Retail Market Modern retail stock reached the 3 million sqm mark with some 120.000 sqm GLA delivered in H1 2015. Two important shopping centers opened so far this year: Coresi Shopping Resort in Brasov and Mega Mall in Bucharest. During the first six months of 2015, at least 30 new retailers have entered the local market targeting mainly Bucharest. Prime rent in Bucharest for retail parks is ~EUR 8,5 per sqm and 60-70 per sqm for shopping centres. |
Residential Market During H1 2015, prices for residential projects remained relatively stable as in 2014 but demand has picked up as the spending capacity of Romanians improves. Some new projects targeted more affluent purchasers, in contrast with previous years' focus on low income products. Both local and international developers sought to finalize one and two bedroom apartments in semi-central locations, or in the vicinity of popular office districts. Romanian authorities issued 18.229 building permits for residential projects in H1 2015, up 3,1% year-on-year, according to the national statistics office.
|
3.2 Bulgaria |
General The total value of closed transactions on the investment market in Bulgaria in the first half of 2015 was slightly above EUR 90 mln. It is expected by the end of the year the total sales transactions volume will be similar or higher than in 2014 (EUR ~220 mln). |
Office Market Office stock in Sofia has increased to 1,64 million sqm, as new deliveries for H1 2015 amounted to 14.000 sqm. Development of several projects have commenced, increasing the active construction to 198.600 sqm. Overall office market vacancy rates continued to decline to 14,2% in H1 2015 from 15,4% in Q4 2014, a new 4 year low. Market demand continues to be driven primarily by the IT sector. Rental rates for class A offices have increased to EUR 11,5 per sqm, while in CBD (Central Business District) properties the average rate is EUR 13,7 per sqm. |
Retail Market Total modern retail stock in Bulgaria is 844.000 sqm with shopping centers accounting for 95%. The vacancy rate in Sofia dropped to 11% (from 12% in 2014). No new project openings are expected by the end of the year. Retail activity will be concentrated on the repositioning of existing shopping centers and unfreezing projects at the development stage. |
Residential Market A total of 2.100 residential building permits were issued in H1 2015. Sofia represents the major part of approved projects with 37% of the total. The market appears to be absorbing the new supply with developers reporting a significant amount of sales, increased by 8% compared to last year. Average sales prices in Sofia are around EUR 770 per sqm almost 50% lower than the pre-crisis pricing level.
|
3.3 Ukraine |
General Due to the deepening of the economic recession in Ukraine, many businesses were adopting a wait-and-see attitude in relation to further activity in the country, whilst the purchasing power of the country's population further decreased. |
Logistics Market In late June 2015, total stock of modern warehousing and logistics space in the Greater Kiev area amounted to ~1.778.000 sqm. Overall development activity in the Greater Kiev area remains very low. During H1 2015 vacancy in the sector increased, reaching 12% in late June 2015 with asking rents dropping to the range of USD 2,5-5 per sqm for prime warehousing space in the Greater Kiev area, while for B-class properties average monthly rent was at around USD 2 per sqm. |
Office Market The total office stock in Kiev reached over 1,7 million sqm at the end of June 2015. In the first half of 2015 a majority of tenants decided to stay in their current properties and as a result, lease renewals and renegotiations accounted for almost 77% of total office take-up during the first six months of 2015. During the first half of 2015, vacancy in the office property sector in Kiev hovered at 23%. The indicative prime rent declined by 8% on average from USD 25 to USD 23 per sqm per month. |
Retail Market Total modern retail stock in Kiev amounted to around 1,55 million sqm in late June 2015. As of August 2015, DTZ estimates that presently around 560.000 sqm (GLA) of new 'modern' retail space in Kiev are actively in either the planning or construction stages. In late June 2015, average monthly rents in quality retail schemes in Kiev varied in the range of USD 45-65 per sqm for premises of 100-250 sqm. The retail premises in high street locations in Kiev commanded monthly rents of USD 30-50 per sqm. |
3.4 Greece |
General The property market is expected to recover gradually, assuming Greece will emerge from the recession cycle. In terms of investment interest, the most dynamic sectors appear to be that of hospitality, as a result of a projected substantial growth in tourism. |
Logistics Market The market is characterised by the absence of activity with very few leasing deals occurring, linked to the economic uncertainty shrouding the Greek market. Deals that are closing stem from existing occupiers taking advantage of the weak fundamentals and either moving to secure better price space or indeed renegotiating their existing leases to be more flexible and at a lower rent. Prime rents are EUR 3-4 per sqm for logistic space, stable for the last 12 months. |
Office Market Prime supply levels in the office sector have stabilized as weaker demand and the lack of new developments balance each other out. There is no pipeline of new or refurbished projects in most markets and this is not expected to change over the short to medium term, with most developers unwilling to commit to new construction. In prime office locations, rental rates have been stable between EUR 8- 15 per sqm. |

The lake itself, having a 360 hectare surface, is the largest lake of Bucharest and provides for many leisure activities like fishing, cycling, walking, etc. At the back of the property there is a forest which transforms the area into a very attractive habitat for families and adds value to the residential units to be developed. |
Current status The construction permit, which allows for ~54.000 sqm to be built, was renewed in April 2014 and since then, the project has been on hold. |

1Share premium is not available for distribution
2Companies which do not distribute 70% of their profits after tax, as defined by the relevant tax law, within two years after the end of the relevant tax year, will be deemed to have distributed as dividends 70% of these profits. Special contribution for defense at 20% will be payable on such deemed dividends to the extent that the shareholders (companies and individuals) are Cyprus tax residents. The amount of deemed distribution is reduced by any actual dividends paid out of the profits of the relevant year at any time. This special contribution for defense is payable on account of the shareholders.
3 Exchange differences on intercompany loans to foreign holdings arose as a result of devaluation of the Ukrainian Hryvnia. The Group treats the mentioned loans as a part of the net investment in foreign operations.
4 Exchange differences related to the translation from the functional currency of the Group's subsidiaries are accounted for directly to the foreign currency translation reserve. The foreign currency translation reserve represents unrealized profits or losses related to the appreciation or depreciation of the local currencies against the € in the countries where the Company's subsidiaries own property assets.

Functional and presentation currencies
Items included in the Group's financial statements are measured applying the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entities operate (''the functional currency''). The national currency of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Hryvnia, is the functional currency for all the Group's entities located in Ukraine, the Euro for all the Romanian, Bulgarian and Greek subsidiaries, while the parent company and its Cyprus based subsidiaries use either the Euro or the US dollar as the functional currency.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Euro which is the Group's presentation currency.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
As Management records the condensed consolidated interim financial information of the entities domiciled in Cyprus, Romania and Ukraine in their functional currencies, in translating financial information of the entities domiciled in these countries into Euro for inclusion in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Group follows a translation policy in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. 21, "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates", and the following procedures are performed:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
· All assets and liabilities are translated at closing rate; · Income and expense items are translated using exchange rates at the dates of the transactions, or where this is not practicable the average rate has been used; · All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity; · When a foreign operation is disposed of through sale, liquidation, repayment of share capital or abandonment of all, or part of that entity, the exchange differences deferred in equity are reclassified to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as part of the gain or loss on sale.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The relevant exchange rates for the entities domiciled in countries where the Group operates into Euro are as follows:

4. Financial risk Management
|
4.1 Financial risk factors
The Group is exposed to operating country risk, real estate holding and development associated risks, market price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, other market price risk, operational risk, compliance risk, litigation risk, reputation risk, capital risk management and other risks arising from the financial instruments it holds. The risk management policies employed by the Group to manage these risks are discussed below. Financial Risk Management is also described in note 31 of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
4.1.1 Operating Country Risks
The Group is exposed to country risk, stemming from the political and economic environment of countries in which it operates. Notably:
4.1.1.1 Cyprus
During the past 10 years Cyprus has become an established financial center taking advantage of favorable double tax treaties with various countries around the world, most importantly with Eastern European countries where the Group operates. Due to the world financial crisis erupting in 2008 and the ensuing debt crisis which had a liquidity effect of the Cypriot banking system as in all of the south and east European countries, following the restructuring of the Greek public debt certain of the Cypriot banks have taken a blow to their solvency (write off of €4,5bn of Greek debt) and have requested the support of the ECB through the ELA mechanism.
Thus, the indebtedness of the Cypriot Republic and its two main banks Bank of Cyprus and Cyprus Popular Bank (Laiki) created the basis for the country to be part of a financial rescue plan under the supervision of the IMF, the ECB and the European Union in early 2013, a moment when the Cypriot State stopped being able to borrow from the international debt markets. |
At the same time, the recent discovery of potentially significant natural gas and oil deposits within the boundaries of the Cypriot exclusive economic zone perplexes the geographic and political relationships and developments as Cyprus is in the crossroad of 3 continents.
Any failure to effect and implement an economic restructuring plan, may have a significant negative effect on the financials of the Cypriot economy that could lead to a default and the abandonment of the Euro currency. Such result would have a destabilizing effect on the operations of the Company at the corporate level. Cyprus has achieved within the first half of 2015 to return to the international debt markets which signifies a return to normality.
On that note, the Company had proactively evaluated the probable effect of the measures in relation to the levy on deposits and the restrictions on capital movement applied to Cyprus based financial institutions. The Company held most of its liquidity with non-Cypriot owned banking institutions, partly in Cyprus and partly outside Cyprus and to this date all operations of the Group's throughout Ukraine continued to be carried out normally.
4.1.1.2 Ukraine
Nearly two years after the clashes that resulted in the fall of the incumbent government in November 2013, the deterioration and finally breaking off of Russia-Ukraine relations and the loss of part of Ukraine's geographic area, the situation remains particularly volatile. The social and geopolitical instability continues to affect not only Ukraine's economic and political well-being, but also relations between Russia and the rest of the world, as the international financial markets remain volatile.
Although Ukraine had made significant progress in increasing its gross domestic product, decreasing inflation, stabilizing its currency, increasing real wages and improving its trade balance between 2011 and 2013 these gains have already being reversed as a result of the current tough relations with Russia which has plunged the country into a state of war and separatism.
The implementation of reforms has been impeded by lack of political consensus, controversies over privatization, the restructuring of the energy sector, the removal of exemptions and privileges for certain state-owned enterprises or for certain industry sectors, the limited extent of cooperation with international financial institutions and non-stable taxing environment. Ukraine has engaged in broad discussion with its lender including IMF, for a restructuring of its foreign debt. Such discussions are crucial for the future economic development of the country. Overall, the future remains uncertain for the country, even though steps have been made towards European integration Should the IMF reforms are implemented and the foreign debt is restructured as well as political stability reemerges the country's economy has the potential to boom. As Ukraine's government relies to a significant extent on official or multilateral borrowings to avoid bankruptcy, finance its budget deficit, fund its payment obligations under domestic and international borrowings and support foreign exchange reserves on the current debt discussions are critical for Ukraine's ability to achieve a stable political environment to implement strategic, institutional and structural reforms but seems to be mainly depending on how long and how severe the current geopolitical conflict will last.
In the first quarter of 2015, real GDP decreased by (-17,2%) year-on-year. In January-June 2015, consumer price inflation reached 48,1% year-on-year, compared to 5,8% inflation in the first half of 2014. Major sources of price inflation during the first six months of 2015 were sharp depreciation of the hryvnya and the resultant increase in prices for imported goods, growth of the state-regulated tariffs and high inflation expectations. The basic consumer price index, which reflects demand pressure, increased by 40,6% in January-June 2015, compared to the 4% growth in the first half of 2014.
Apart from the international and internal political turmoil, Ukraine's legal system continuous to be in transition and is, therefore, subject to greater risks and uncertainties than a more mature legal system. In particular, risks associated with the Ukrainian legal system include, but are not limited to: (i) inconsistencies between and among the Constitution of Ukraine and various laws, presidential decrees, governmental, ministerial and local orders, decisions, resolutions and other acts; (ii) provisions in the laws and regulations that are ambiguously worded or lack specificity and thereby raise difficulties when implemented or interpreted; (iii) difficulty in predicting the outcome of judicial application of Ukrainian legislation; and (iv) the fact that not all Ukrainian resolutions, orders and decrees and other similar acts are readily available to the public or available in understandably organized form.
Furthermore, several fundamental Ukrainian laws either have only relatively recently become effective or are still pending hearing or adoption by the Parliament. The recent origin of much of Ukrainian legislation, the lack of consensus about the scope, content and pace of economic and political reform and the rapid evolution of the Ukrainian legal system in ways that may not always coincide with market developments, place the enforceability and underlying constitutionality of laws in doubt, and result in ambiguities, inconsistencies and anomalies.
In addition, Ukrainian legislation often contemplates implementing regulations. Often such implementing regulations have either not yet been promulgated, leaving substantial gaps in the regulatory infrastructure, or have been promulgated with substantial deviation from the principal rules and conditions imposed by the respective legislation, which results in a lack of clarity and growing conflicts between companies and regulatory authorities.
Tax laws are changing and compared to more developed market economies are in a non-mature level thus creating often an unclear tax environment of unusual complexity. This particularly may affect negatively the ability of the Group to recuperate VAT paid and/or to utilize operating losses as a carry forward tax shield.
During the year from the first quarter of 2014, the Ukrainian hryvnya was subject to significant devaluation. Starting from 7,99 UAH / USD in February 2014, the official exchange rate depreciated to 15,78 UAH / USD at the end of 2014 and reached its record low of 30 UAH/USD in February 2015. By the end of the first quarter of 2015 the official exchange rate stabilized at around 23 UAH/USD. As a result the National Bank of Ukraine, among other measures, imposed certain temporary restrictions to the Banks on processing client payments and on purchasing foreign currencies on the inter-banking market as well as certain capital controls towards foreign payments.
The final resolution and impact of the political crisis are difficult to predict and the ongoing crisis may further adversely affect Ukrainian economy. Subsequent to 30th of June 2015 the Group has been operating in the normal course of business and the Management of the Group believes that it has undertaken all necessary measures to maintain the economic stability of the Group under these circumstances.
4.1.1.3 Greece
During the period the Hellenic Republic continued discussions with the creditor institutions (EU/ECB/IMF/ESM) resulting in retaining the risk of political and economic instability of the country. Failure to reach agreement at the end of June led to the implementation of capital controls in the banking sector, a 3-week bank holiday on 27 June, as well as the lapse of the existing economic support program for the country which led to the failure of the Hellenic Republic to repay an instalment to the IMF on 30 June.
Following a referendum on a deal proposed by international institutions and further negotiations, a preliminary agreement was reached on 12 July for a 3-year €86 billion support package, which was followed in August by the signing of a related agreement and the ratifications by Greek and a number of EU member country parliaments of this agreement in August, signaling the commitment of Greece to remain in the Eurozone and effect any necessary reforms requested by the creditor institutions as a prerequisite to capital deployment. As such and following elections in September which secured another tenure for the government that reached this agreement, political and economic instability seems to be withdrawing.
Overall, the program has an aim to reduce the risk of economic instability in Greece; however there is still risk around implementation of the program. The implementation of the program and its effects on the economy are beyond the Group's control.
Various risks emerge should the program not be implemented as planned, including restrictions on use of local bank deposits, liquidity of the financial sector and businesses, recoverability of receivables, impairment of assets, sufficiency of financing by the lending banks, serving of existing financing arrangements and/or compliance with existing terms and financial covenants of such arrangements. These and any possible further negative developments in Greece could impact the results and financial position of the Group΄s Greek operations to some extent, in a manner not currently determinable.
The Group has been closely assessing developments in Greece and preparing for a number of eventualities around the Greek crisis, in line with its established risk management policy in order to ensure that timely actions and response are undertaken so as to minimize any impact on the Group's business and operations.
4.1.2 Risks associated with property holding
Several factors may affect the economic performance and value of the Group's properties, including: · risks associated with construction activity at the properties, including delays, the imposition of liens and defects in workmanship; · the ability to collect rent from tenants , on a timely basis or at all, taking also into account the UAH rapid devaluation; · the amount of rent and the terms on which lease renewals and new leases are agreed being less favorable than current leases; · cyclical fluctuations in the property market generally; · local conditions such as an oversupply of similar properties or a reduction in demand for the properties; · the attractiveness of the property to tenants or residential purchasers; · decreases in capital valuations of property; · changes in availability and costs of financing, which may affect the sale or refinancing of properties; · covenants, conditions, restrictions and easements relating to the properties; · changes in governmental legislation and regulations, including but not limited to designated use, allocation, environmental usage, taxation and insurance; · the risk of bad or unmarketable title due to failure to register or perfect our interests or the existence of prior claims, encumbrances or charges of which we may be unaware at the time of purchase; · the possibility of occupants in the properties, whether squatters or those with legitimate claims to take possession; · the ability to pay for adequate maintenance, insurance and other operating costs, including taxes, which could increase over time; and · political uncertainty, acts of terrorism and acts of nature, such as earthquakes and floods that may damage the properties.
4.1.3 Property Market price risk
Market price risk is the risk that the value of the Company's portfolio investments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. The Group's assets are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future prices of the investments. The Group's market price risk is managed through diversification of the investment portfolio, continuous elaboration of the market conditions and active asset management. To quantify the value of its assets and/or indicate the possibility of impairment losses, the Company commissioned internationally acclaimed valuers.
Valuations reported as at 31 December 2014 take into account recent political developments in Ukraine. Given the nature of the Group's assets the most immediate effect would be the prolongation of the period needed to market and effectively sell an asset under such duress conditions.
The BoD is monitoring the situation to ensure that assets value is preserved while at the same time through diversification according to the strategic plan of the Company, Ukrainian operations are gradually becoming part of a larger structure.
4.1.4 Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.
The Group's income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates as the Group has no significant interest‑bearing assets apart from its cash balances that are mainly kept for liquidity purposes.
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. All of the Group's borrowings are issued at a variable interest rate. Management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly.
4.1.5 Credit risk
Credit risk arises when a failure by counter parties to discharge their obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets at hand at the end of the reporting period. Cash balances are held with high credit quality financial institutions and the Group has policies to limit the amount of credit exposure to any financial institution.
Management has been in continuous discussions with banking institutions monitoring their ability to extend financing as per the Group's needs. The sovereign debt crisis has affected the pan-European banking system during 2011 and 2012 imposing financing uncertainties for new development projects. The financial crisis in the European Union periphery has strained any remaining liquidity and the financial institutions in the region (including those that have Italian, Greek or Austrian parent) have entered into deleveraging programs.
4.1.6 Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
Currency risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Group's functional currency. Most of the Group's transactions, including the rental proceeds are denominated in € or pegged to € or USD (the latter being the case of Ukraine). For the rest of the foreign exchange exposure Management monitors the exchange rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly, by limiting net exposures to a few days to 2 months.
Apart from liquidity maintained in local currency for operating reasons the Group's liquid assets are held in EUR denominated deposit accounts while most of the inflows of the company are pegged to the €/USD It should be noted that the current political uncertainty in Ukraine, and the currency devaluation may affect the Group's income streams indirectly through affecting the financial condition of the tenants of the Group's properties their solvency and their income generating capacity. Management is monitoring the situation closely and acts accordingly.
4.1.7 Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The Group's core strategy is described in note 31 of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
4.1.8 Compliance risk
Compliance risk is the risk of financial loss, including fines and other penalties, which arises from non‑compliance with laws and regulations of the state. Although the Group is trying to limit such risk, the uncertain environment in which it operates in various countries increases the complexities handled by Management.
4.1.9 Litigation risk
Litigation risk is the risk of financial loss, interruption of the Group's operations or any other undesirable situation that arises from the possibility of non‑execution or violation of legal contracts and consequentially of lawsuits. The risk is restricted through the contracts used by the Group to execute its operations and is discussed in note 29.
|
4.2. Operational risk
|
Operational risk is the risk that derives from the deficiencies relating to the Group's information technology and control systems as well as the risk of human error and natural disasters. The Group's systems are evaluated, maintained and upgraded continuously.
|
4.3. Fair value estimation
|
The fair values of the Group's financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts at the end of the reporting period. Valuations reported as at 31 December 2014 take into account past political developments in Ukraine which given the nature of the Group's assets the most immediate effect would be the prolongation of the period needed to market and effectively sell an asset under such duress conditions.
|
5. Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The accounting estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014. |

The Group has made an advance payment of ~US$12mil. (representing principal plus interest) for the acquisition of a project in Podil (Kiev) in 2007. As of the end of the reporting period the Management does not expect such acquisition to proceed while the seller has already defaulted on his credit to the Group.
As a consequence, the Group has progressed the legal proceedings initiated in 2013, for the transfer of the collateral (land plot of 42 ha in Kiev Oblast) in the Group's name as well as legal proceeding against the company which collected the original US$12mil. payment. As the collateral's value, as valued by CBRE, has been reduced the Group has reduced the amount of the receivable to the value of the collateral having a carrying value of € 2.049.378.

Gain as a result of functional currency devaluation is the revaluation of Ukrainian assets attributable to the foreign exchange difference between the US$ and the EUR (to a great extent negated by the devaluation of the UAH).
Management has taken a provision of €3.313.791 in relation to the non-core (residential and adjacent land plots) property assets included in the portfolio acquired during the period, so as to reflect the consideration paid rather than the Fair Value of the assets acquired. Such provision is to be reviewed at year end by taking into account the valuations then as well as the operational performance of the assets under the SPDI management.

29. Contingent liabilities
The Group is involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business.
29.1 Tax litigation
The Group performed during the reporting period a part of its operations in the Ukraine and therefore within the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian tax authorities. The Ukrainian tax system can be characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation, which may be applied retroactively, open to wide interpretation and in some cases, conflicting. Instances of inconsistent opinions between local, regional, and national tax authorities and between the National Bank of Ukraine and the Ministry of Finance are not unusual. Tax declarations are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities, which are authorised by law to impose severe fines and penalties and interest charges.
Any tax year remains open for review by the tax authorities during the three subsequent calendar years; however, under certain circumstances a tax year may remain open for longer. These facts create tax risks which are substantially more significant than those typically found in countries with more developed tax systems. Management believes that it has adequately provided for tax liabilities, based on its interpretation of tax legislation, official pronouncements and court decisions. However, the interpretations of the relevant authorities could differ and the effect on these consolidated financial statements, if the authorities were successful in enforcing their interpretations, could be significant.
At the same time the Group's entities are involved in court proceedings with tax authorities; Management believes that the estimates provided within the financial statements present a reasonable estimate of the outcome of these court cases.
29.2 Construction related litigation
There are no material claims from contractors due to the postponement of projects or delayed delivery other than those disclosed in the financial statements.
29.3 Other Litigation
The Company has a number of legal cases pending. Management does not believe that the result of these will have a substantial overall effect (in excess of €0,5m) on the Group's financial position. Consequently no such provision is included in the current financial statements.
29.4 Other Contingent Liabilities
The Group had no other contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2015.
30. Commitments
The Group had no commitments as at 30 June 2015.
31. Financial Risk Management
31.1 Capital Risk Management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to implement its stated growth strategy in order to maximize the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt-equity structure and value enhancing actions in respect of its portfolio of investments. The capital structure of the Group consists of borrowings (note 23), trade and other payables (note 24) deposits from tenants (note 25), taxes payable (note 26) and equity attributable to ordinary shareholders (note 20, issued capital, reserves and retained earnings) as well as to preferred shareholders (note 20.7).
The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
Management reviews the capital structure on an on-going basis. As part of the review Management considers the differential capital costs in the debt and equity markets, the timing at which each investment project requires funding and the operating requirements so as to proactively provide for capital either in the form of equity (issuance of shares to the Group's shareholders) or in the form of debt. Management balances the capital structure of the Group with a view of maximizing the shareholder's Return on Equity (ROE) while adhering to the operational requirements of the property assets and exercising prudent judgment as to the extent of gearing.
31.2 Significant Accounting Policies
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis on which income and expenses are recognized, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liabilities and equity instruments are disclosed in note 3 of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

31.4 Financial Risk Management Objectives
The Group's Treasury function provides services to its various corporate entities, coordinates access to local and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group, mainly the investing and development functions. Its primary goal is to secure the Group's liquidity and to minimize the effect of the financial asset price variability on the cash flow of the Group. These risks cover market risks including foreign exchange risks and interest rate risk as well as credit risk and liquidity risk.
The above mentioned risk exposures may be hedged using derivative instruments whenever appropriate. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Group's approved policies which indicate that the use of derivatives is for hedging purposes only. The Group does not enter into speculative derivative trading positions. The same policies provide for the investment of excess liquidity. As at 30 June 2015, the Group had not entered into any derivative contracts.
31.5 Economic Market Risk Management
The Group operates in Romania, Bulgaria Greece and Ukraine. The Group's activities expose it primarily to financial risks of changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates. The exposures and the management of the associated risks are described below. There has been no change to the Group's manner in which it measures and manages risks.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Currency risk arises when commercial transactions and recognized financial assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Group's functional currency. Most of the Group's financial assets are denominated in the functional currency. Management is monitoring the net exposures and enacts policies to contain them so that the net effect of devaluation is minimized.
Interest Rate Risk
The Group's income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates as the Group has no significant interest-bearing assets. On June 30th, 2015, cash and cash equivalent financial assets amounted to €2.832.054 (31 December 2014: € 891.938).
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its borrowings amounting to €55.094.228 (31 December 2014: €18.216.422) as they are issued at variable rates tied to the Libor or Euribor. Management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and evaluates hedging options to align the Group's strategy with the interest rate view and the defined risk appetite. Although no hedging has been applied for the reporting period, such may take place in the future if deemed necessary in order to protect the cash flow of a property asset through different interest rate cycles.
The Group's exposures to financial risk are discussed also in note 4.
31.6 Credit Risk Management
The Group has no significant credit risk exposure. The credit risk emanating from the liquid funds is limited because the Group's counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies. The Credit risk of receivables is reduced as the majority of the receivables represent VAT to be offset through VAT income in the future.
31.7 Liquidity Risk Management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which applies a framework for the Group's short, medium and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Treasury function of the Group manages liquidity risk by preparing and monitoring forecasted cash flow plans and budgets while maintaining adequate reserves. The following table details the Group's contractual maturity of its financial liabilities. The tables below have been drawn up based on the undiscounted contractual maturities including interest that will be accrued.

31.8 Net Current Liabilities
The current liabilities amounting to €16.553.095 exceed current assets amounting to €8.158.021 by €8.395.074. As this difference is primarily result of certain of the bank borrowings being repayable with the next 12 months, the Company has entered into discussions with the lenders to restructure such borrowings. In the event that these discussions do not lead to debt restructuring, the Company may need to seek alternative funding solutions.
