Harry Hyman, Chairman commented: "Summit took good advantage of Germany's strong domestic real estate market in 2016, and we remain confident regarding the prospects for the current year. Acquisitions made an immediate positive contribution to earnings, and have further attractive opportunities to unlock value through hands-on asset management over the next few years. We believe our revenue and earnings visibility, and strong portfolio outlook justifies the dividend stability, and we remain committed to attractive shareholder returns."

 

Zohar Levy, Managing Director commented: "Another very successful year was reflected in the progress we made across all of our strategic and financial targets. We increased the scale, and upgraded the quality of our portfolio through acquisitions which met our investment criteria, and disposed of non-strategic holdings. Stable occupancy, lease renewals and debt refinance have enhanced revenues, and underpinned earnings and cash flows. We are well-positioned to continue to capitalise upon our strong position within a dynamic real estate market of one of the world's leading economies."

Chairman's and Managing Director's Report 

 

We are pleased to report another successful year, during which we made progress across all key strategic targets.

 

Acquisitions completed during the first half of 2016, of fully‐let and well located commercial properties, made an immediate contribution to net operating income and Funds from Operations (FFO). They also added new opportunities to enhance returns and unlock value via intensive asset management of our portfolio over the next few years. Further detail is provided in the portfolio review.

 

We still have cash and headroom available to finance further acquisitions and continue to appraise prospective purchases to ascertain whether they fit our acquisition criteria. We seek assets with strong income characteristics, ideally where there is potential to unlock latent value by application of our asset management skills.

 

Financial Review

 

EPRA NAV increased by 9.1% to €466.3 million as at 31 December 2016 (FY 2015: €427.5 million). This is mainly due to a €34.9 million FFO1 contribution and €28.2 million revaluation profit (net of capex), partly offset by €18.6 million dividends distributed during the period. EPRA NAV per share was approximately 9% higher at 100.2 cents (FY 2015: 91.9 cents). The Group's NAV increased 7.0% to 437.9 million (FY 2015: 409.5 million).

 

 

A more detailed breakdown of the year-end 2016 external valuation reveals a €44.8 million increase in the fair value of the portfolio, partly offset by two write-downs of €8.7 million in respect of planned capex of several properties, and €7.9 million related to a single asset in Hamburg, where the sole tenant vacated the property. That latter asset's value was consequently adjusted during the first half of the year, and was sold in the final quarter of 2016 at a price close to its carrying value.

 

As at the end of 2016 the portfolio consisted of 100 assets, with a NMV of €797.8 million (FY 2015: 103 properties at €735.3 million), including €2.2 million in respect of a property held for sale (FY 2015: €3.6 million). The 8.5% increase in portfolio value mainly reflects €40.5m of recent acquisitions and the €28.2 million uplift in the fair value of the existing portfolio.

 

Portfolio performance - asset management and acquisitions

 

Building and maintaining a strong platform is crucial to the Group's success. Our asset management and marketing teams invested enormous efforts throughout the year to enhance our portfolio.

 

The earnings accretive property additions completed during the second half of 2015 and first half of 2016, expanded the existing stable portfolio and have created an even more solid platform to underpin future cash flow growth. These acquisitions were the main driver behind the 15.3% growth in rental income to €57.2 million (FY 2015: €49.6 million). The assets acquired during the reporting period alone, contributed €2.6 million of that total.

 

1 As presented on page 5

 

Underlying rental income, ignoring contributions from acquisitions, also benefited from new lettings and lease extensions during the reporting period. Our excellent landlord and tenant relationships enabled us to maintain a stable rental income on a like-for-like basis. The underlying portfolio remains robust, enhanced we believe by selected asset disposals during the financial year.

 

Net Operating Income ("NOI") was €52.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2016, reflecting a 15.1% increase on €45.8 million reported for the prior year. Contributions were from all the portfolio sectors.  

 

Rental growth is reflected in a 21.2% increase in FFO to €34.9 million (FY 2015: €28.8 million). FFO per share was 17.2% ahead at 7.5 cents per share (FY 2015: 6.4 cents). The difference in relative growth rates is due to the share placing in February 2015; as a result of which the average number of shares in issue for 2016 was above the figure applicable for the previous year.

The approximate 10% decrease in PBT reflects the variance in fair value movements, reflected in the external revaluation of the investment portfolio at the reported and prior year-ends. A cleaner measure of the portfolio's underlying operational performance, can be achieved by stripping out fair value movements. Excluding revaluation profit, PBT more than doubled to €35.7 (FY 2015: €15.6 excluding revaluation profit). This indicates clear increases in operational and profit margins, attributable growth in net rent and lower expense ratios post successful refinance of existing debt.

 

 

 

 

 

The variance in fair value movements has also affected the Net profit which amounted to €55.5 million (FY 2015: €63.5 million), resulting in Earnings Per Share (EPS) of 10.5 cents (FY 2015: 13.3 cents).

Margins benefitted from refinancing of existing debt on improved terms

 

In total, we secured €89 million of new ten‐year credit facilities during the reporting period, all at attractive interest rates fixed for the long term. These will help underpin the portfolio's stable cash flow characteristics.

 

Within the first quarter of the reporting period €29 million of new debt was provided by two German banks to finance acquisitions in Munich, Duisburg and Frankfurt. Both facilities were at attractive fixed rates: €10.5 million for ten years at 1.8% fixed interest rate and 3% annual amortisation and €18.5 million for ten years at 2.26% fixed interest rate and 2.5% annual amortisation.

 

In May 2016 we refinanced €24 million debt secured on the Stuttgart property complex acquired in August 2015. That loan, which was previously part of the acquisition of the complex, was replaced by a new €40 million facility provided by two German lenders at a fixed interest rate of 2.25% p.a. for a ten-year term and an annual amortisation rate of 4.15%. Three months later, we raised another €3.85 million of new debt, secured on this complex. This has a fixed 2.1% interest rate p.a. for the ten-year term, and 3.5% annual amortisation.

 

In December 2016, we raised finance secured on an office building in Potsdam, previously funded from the Group's own resources. A German lender provided a €16 million debt facility, for a 10-year term at a fixed interest rate of 1.76% and 3.0% annual amortisation rate.

 

These financing activities and the Group's strong relationships with its German lenders have reduced the average interest rate on the aggregate debt portfolio to 2.7% p.a. The full benefit of these should be reflected in the FY 2017 profit margin and earnings. These new loans also extended the weighted average unexpired term of the group's aggregate debt portfolio to 5.8 years (FY 2015: 5.6 years), which further underpins the Group's stable cash flow characteristics and earnings outlook.

 

 

The table below sets out the main details of the Group debt facilities at 31 December 2016. Further detail is provided in Note 7 of the Group's financial statements.

In February this year, the Group's credit rating was reaffirmed by Midroog, a Moody's Israeli subsidiary, at Aa3 (stable outlook). This represents a valuable independent verification of our revenue and portfolio outlook and will improve further our ability to access new debt sources. 

 

Property portfolio overview

 

At the end of December 2016, our aggregate portfolio comprised 100 assets, ca. 864,000 sqm of net lettable space, located on approximately 1,407,000 sqm of land.

 

The net annualised income of the aggregate portfolio at end FY 2016 was €58.4m. That is equivalent to a 7.3% p.a. net yield, receivable from ca. 650 tenants. Rents uplifts are either linked to CPI, or subject to agreed fixed annual increases.

Aggregate portfolio occupancy is currently approximately 87%. The vacancy rate reflects, among others, assets held for redevelopment at a future date. Assuming the portfolio was fully occupied, annualised net rent would be approximately €66m p.a., equivalent to an 8.3% p.a. yield on current book value.

 

Portfolio occupancy and income, adjusted for acquisitions and disposals, have both been stable in recent years. Net of disposals during the reporting period lettings were steady, and occupancy was maintained at around 91% for the majority of the portfolio.

 

That reflects our strong landlord and tenant relationships, as well as the success of our asset management team and direct approaches made by our marketing unit. During the reporting period, we signed new leases for approximately 28,000 sqm, and renewals of existing lease agreements for another 55,000 sqm, worth a total of approximately €7.9 million per annum and reflecting a rent rate of 7.9 per square meter per month, 12% higher than last year's rate.

 

The majority of the current portfolio was acquired in 2006-7 and 80% of the income derives from strong tenants. It is multi-let with no dependency on key tenants and is also well diversified from sector and geographical perspectives, as illustrated overleaf.

 

Offices represented by far the largest component of the year-end portfolio and comprised 73.2% of the NMV and 70.7% of Net Rent (FY 2015: 72.5% and 70.2% respectively). That is fully in line with our long-term strategy to focus on this segment, where we see interesting and attractive prospects. It is an area in which we can capitalise upon management depth of experience and one where we have a proven competitive advantage.

Over 50% of group rent is generated from assets located in Germany's four main cities, Berlin (20%), Frankfurt (15%), Stuttgart (10%) and Hamburg (9%). Another 30% is derived from Cologne, Dusseldorf, Munich and other major cities combined resulting with more than 85% in Germany's major cities. The largest ten properties account for 37% of portfolio income, and 81% of the lettable area is in the former West Germany.

 

We remain confident regarding the prospects for German commercial property, which we believe are characterised by steady demand and a positive economic outlook. 

 

 

Acquisitions: €40.5 million completed during 2016, new opportunities under review

We continue to seek acquisition opportunities which fit our strict core investment criteria. Cash is available to finance further growth, and our recent discussions with existing and potential new lenders confirm that they remain willing to support investment in commercial real estate. 

We focus primarily on the resilient operational characteristics of the asset under consideration, its existing leases and tenant covenants, supported by its competitive positioning within its underlying local markets.

 

We also prefer to acquire assets where we can identify opportunities to apply our asset management expertise to increase net rent and unlock capital value. These may include using own resources over the short to medium term for refurbishment and redevelopment purposes, as well as for debt refinance to further strengthen cash flow.

 

During the reporting period, we acquired three fully-let properties which provided an immediate, positive contribution to the Group's rental income and cash flow. The properties are located in Munich, Duisburg and Frankfurt (Oberursel) and were purchased for a total of €40.5 million (including acquisition costs). These assets have a combined 30,000 square metre lettable area and generate an aggregate net rent of approximately €3 million p.a. with a similar NOI.

 

The assets are a good fit with our strategy to acquire well-located, attractively priced properties let to stable tenants. They were financed from existing cash, plus ten-year €29 million debt facilities provided by German banks. The average interest on the new debt is fixed at 2.1% for the entire term, with 2.7% average annual amortisation.

 

Further details on the properties acquired during the reporting period are included in the Notes to the Group's financial statements.

 

New residential projects in Berlin

To benefit from the growing demand for residential properties in Berlin, we have been engaged over the last few years in several projects, all of which have been carried out by joint ventures (JVs) with an experienced specialist developer. These engagements provide an opportunity to use surplus land within existing sites, and convert commercial assets for residential use. The JVs may also finance land purchases for this purpose.

 

The Group's engagement is typically in the provision of additional funding required, above that expected to be covered by construction loans.

 

In May 2016, we agreed a new joint-venture (JV) for the development of a residential project in Berlin. This JV has acquired an existing building which it intends to convert into 60 apartments. The anticipated investment for this entire project is €18 million and apartment sales are expected to generate project revenues of €23 million. The JV plans to finance the project with a construction loan and another €4 million loan from the Group.

 

 

After the end of the reporting period we agreed two new residential projects in Berlin. The first proposes to develop 50 apartments on a plot acquired by the JV for €4.2 million. Expected investment in the entire project is approximately €23 million and expected revenue from sales of apartments ca. €27 million. The second JV project has acquired a plot for €2.6 million and intends to develop 45 townhouses and terraced houses. The anticipated total investment is ca. €13 million, projected revenue from sales of apartments approximately €16 million.

 

As in previous projects, the JVs intend to use construction loans to finance both developments. The additional required funds of ca. €7 million will be provided as loan from the Group, on terms and conditions similar to previous residential development engagements. The loan and accrued interest is repayable from the project revenues by the second half of 2020.

 

These are the latest in a series of JVs which seek to benefit from ongoing demand for residential property in Berlin. The projects are all located in high demand residential neighbourhoods. More detail on this is set out in Note 6 of these accounts.

 

Ongoing disposals of non-strategic assets

We aim to progressively upgrade the average quality of the Group portfolio by disposing of non-strategic assets. The proceeds are used either to reduce associated debt or to finance the acquisition of new properties with better growth potential.

 

While we continued to improve our portfolio during the last year, we sold ca. €18.6 million of non-strategic assets. In the first six months of last year, we disposed of three small retail properties at close to carrying value, which raised €2.4 million in total. In the second half, we sold a property in Hamburg for €14 million and another asset in Bremen for €1.3 million. These were all either non-strategic holdings or, in the case of Hamburg, represented an opportunity to achieve what we regarded as the full value of an asset which had limited potential for further upgrade over the short to medium term.

 

Post the year-end we sold a small retail property in Worms for a total consideration of €2.5 million, which was close to last carrying value.

 

Dividend

The increase in the Group's rental income and cash flows has enabled us to maintain progressive distributions of dividends since AIM admission in 2014. The most recent quarterly dividend of 1.02 cents per share paid in February 2017 in respect of the third quarter of the 2016 reflects an annualised dividend yield of 5.83% on the 2015 placing share price of 70 cents.

 

We are confident in the outlook for the Group's assets and underlying markets to continue and distribute dividends, which are well-covered by recurring, rental based earnings.

 

 

Outlook

 

While we remain committed to investment portfolio growth, and continually seek ways to enhance its operational performance, our strategy is focused upon resilient, visible cash flows. It is therefore reassuring to report another strong period, as that underpins our strategic objectives.

 

Earnings accretive additions to the portfolio secured during H2 2015 and 2016 enlarged our existing, stable investment portfolio and created an even more solid platform to anchor future enhanced cash flows. 

 

The effort made by our asset management and marketing teams is reflected in portfolio performance and its net financial impact has benefited from improved, lower rate debt facilities. Portfolio occupancy and rental income from existing properties was maintained across the portfolio, despite lease expirations. This reflects success in securing new lettings, reviews, and identifying opportunities for refurbishments, extensions and other asset improvements.

 

We plan to maintain steady portfolio performance characteristics, and continue to achieve year-on-year portfolio growth where we identify income-producing properties with asset management opportunities. We have access to cash and low cost debt to finance further value enhancing acquisitions, as well as refurbishment or redevelopment where we see attractive opportunities. We will not however, compromise our criteria and indeed, rejected asset purchases where the opportunities presented were, in our view, overpriced.

 

This reflects a current 'hot' commercial property investment market, but we regard this as a normal part of the investment cycle. As a longer-term investor, our experience suggests that there will be periods when we will benefit holding until better opportunities appear. For Summit Group, these generally relate to assets which would not suit mainstream investors. In such assets, most of the underlying value will only be unlocked via the kind of intensive, hands-on asset management which is our core competency, and a genuine source of competitive advantage.

 

We are confident with our focus on the EU's leading economy and a portfolio, more than 85% of which, is located in Germany's major cities. Current interest service and dividend cover is comfortable, and prospects for growth in net rents, FFO/PBT and net asset value are projected to be derived from ongoing management of our existing portfolio, independent of any assistance from the underlying market. We look forward to reporting further progress in 2017.

An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error.  This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Group's circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the annual report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit.  If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies, we consider the implications for our report.

 

 

Opinion on financial statements

In our opinion the consolidated financial statements:

·     give a true and fair view of the state of the group's affairs as at 31 December 2016 and of its profit for the year then ended;

·     have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU; and

·     have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.

 

 

 

Matters on which we are required to report by exception        

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

·     proper accounting records have not been kept; or

·     the consolidated financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or

·     we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER, 2016

 

NOTE 1:         GENERAL

 

Summit Germany Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together: the "Group") is a German property specialist company. The Company was incorporated and registered in Guernsey on 19 April, 2006. The parent company of the Group is Summit Real Estate Holdings Ltd (hereinafter: "SHL"), a company registered in Israel.

 

The Group owns, enhances and operates commercial real estate assets in Germany including office buildings, logistic centers and others, which are leased to numerous commercial and industrial tenants. The Group invests primarily in such properties that provide substantial income flows and potential for value increase through asset management. The Group does not acquire properties for speculative purposes.

 

The Company was a closed ended authorised investment scheme registered under The Protection of Investors Law (Bailiwick of Guernsey) 1987. In December 2013, the Company and its shareholders approved to apply to the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (the "GFSC") for consent to deregister as a closed ended authorised investment scheme under The Protection of Investors Law (Bailiwick of Guernsey) 1987. This request was approved by the GFSC on 21 January 2014.

 

 

NOTE 2:       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of preparation

 

These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under Going Concern basis after management and Board of Directors carefully considered relevant factors underlying Group's financial position.

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investment properties and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

 

 

 

 

 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER, 2016

 

NOTE 2:       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

Basis of preparation (Cont.):

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, expect for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of IAS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in IAS 2 or value in use in IAS 36.

 

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

 

•     Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

•     Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

•     Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

Reportable segments - The Group operates in one segment, being a commercial real estate in Germany. Therefore, no further segments information is presented.

 

Statement of compliance:

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU ("IFRS") and The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.

 

Basis of consolidation:

 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (and its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

 

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER, 2016

 

NOTE 2:       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

Basis of consolidation (Cont.):

 

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

 

The results of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

 

All intra-group balances and transactions are eliminated in full on consolidation.

 

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group.

 

Business combinations and goodwill:

 

If, after reassessment, the Group's interest in the fair value of the acquirer's identifiable net assets exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

 

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquire (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

 

Revenue recognition:

 

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, and similar allowances. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

 

Rental income:

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Interest income:

Interest revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest income is presented in finance revenue in the statement of comprehensive income.

 

 

 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER, 2016

 

NOTE 2:         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

Foreign currencies:

 

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency, which is Euro, are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

 

Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

 

Taxes:

 

Income tax expense represents the sum of tax currently payable and deferred tax.

 

Current Taxes:

Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the applicable tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

 

Deferred tax:

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

 

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

 

 

 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER, 2016

 

NOTE 2:         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

Taxes (Cont.):

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

 

Financial assets

 

Initial recognition:

Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

 

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way purchases) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

 

The Company's financial assets include cash and short-term deposits, trade and other receivables, unquoted financial instruments, and derivative financial instruments.

 

Subsequent measurement:

 

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:

 

Loans and receivables:

 

Loans and receivables are non‑derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such financial assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in the consolidated income statement when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

 

Available-for-sale financial assets:

 

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified in any of the three other categories of financial assets (Fair Value through profit or loss, held to maturity or loans and receivables). After initial measurement, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value with unrealised gains or losses recognised directly in equity until the investment is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gain or loss recorded in equity is recognised in the income statement, or determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative loss recorded in equity is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER, 2016

 

NOTE 2:         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

Financial assets (Cont.)

 

Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss ("FVTPL"):

 

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

·     it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or

·     on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

·     it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

 

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

·     such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

·     the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group's documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

·     It forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognised in the consolidate statement of comprehensive income. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 18.

 

Derecognition of financial assets

 

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

 

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Group retains an option to repurchase part of a transferred asset), the Group allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognise under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER, 2016

 

NOTE 2:         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

Financial assets (Cont.)

 

Derecognition of financial assets (Cont.)

 

The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the consideration received for the part no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.  A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.

 

Financial liabilities

 

Initial recognition:

 

Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.

Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, bank overdrafts, loans and borrowings and derivative financial instruments.

 

Subsequent measurement:

 

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

 

Loans and borrowings:

 

After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the amortisation process.

 

Offsetting of financial instruments:

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is either an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

 

Derecognition of financial liabilities:

 

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

NOTE 2:         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

Fair value of financial instruments:

 

The fair value of financial instruments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the statement of financial position date. For financial instruments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques may include using recent arm's length market transactions; reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.

 

Amortised cost of financial instruments:

 

Amortised cost is computed using the effective interest method less any allowance for impairment and principal repayment or reduction. The calculation takes into account any premium or discount on acquisition and includes transaction costs and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.

 

Impairment of financial assets:

 

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred 'loss event') and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

 

Due from loans and receivables:

 

For amounts due from loans and receivables carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses individually whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

 

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount based on the original effective interest rate of the asset.

NOTE 2:         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

Due from loans and receivables (Cont.):

 

Loans together with the associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realised or has been transferred to the Group. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a future write-off is later recovered, the recovery is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate.

 

Available-for-sale financial investments:

 

For available-for-sale financial investments, the Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that an investment or a group of investments is impaired.

In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, objective evidence would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income - is removed from equity and recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the consolidated statement of comprehensive income; increases in their fair value after impairment are recognised directly in equity.

 

Derivative financial instruments

 

Initial recognition and subsequent measurement:

 

The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to hedge its risks associated with interest rate, and foreign currency exchange hedge of the shareholder loan. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value.

 

Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives during the year that are qualified for hedge accounting are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income. Any gain or loss which is not qualified for hedge accounting is recognised in profit and loss.

 

At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item's fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.

 

 

 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER, 2016

 

NOTE 2:         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

Hedges which meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:

 

Cash flow hedges

 

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss, and is included in the 'other gains and losses' line item.

 

Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item is recognised in profit or loss, in the same line of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as the recognised hedged item. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously accumulated in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.

 

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Group revokes the hedging relationship, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss accumulated in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 

Investment properties

 

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met; and excludes the costs of day to day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the statement of financial position date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in the profit or loss in the year in which they arise.

 

Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period of derecognition.

 

Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from investment property to owner occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. If owner occupied property becomes an investment property, the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date of change in use.

NOTE 2:         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

Impairment of assets:

 

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset's recoverable amount.

 

 

Cash and short-term deposits:

 

Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

 

 

Trade and other receivables:

 

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 days' terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. Provision is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified.

 

 

Provisions:

 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

NOTE 3:         CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

 

In the application of Group's accounting policies which are described in Note 2 above, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

 

Key sources of estimation uncertainty:

 

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the consolidated statement of financial position date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

 

Revaluation of investment properties:

 

The Group carries its investment properties at fair value, with changes in fair values being recognised in the profit or loss. The Group engages independent valuation specialists to determine fair value of investment properties on an annual basis. The valuation technique used to determine fair value of investment properties is based on a discounted cash flow model as well as comparable market data.

 

The determined fair value of the investment properties is sensitive to the estimated yield as well as the long term vacancy rate. The key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the investment properties, are further explained in Note 5.

 

Taxation

 

Uncertainties might exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the Group's international business relationships and the nature of contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded.

 

Deferred taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits. (See also Note 17).

Acquisition of assets

 

In regard to the transactions detailed in Note 5, the Group management and the Directors have reviewed the characteristics of the transactions in accordance with the requirements of IFRS3(R). Although control over corporate entities was gained as a result of the transaction, these entities were special purpose vehicles for holding properties rather than separate business entities - this judgment was made mainly due to the absence of business processes inherent in these entities. Consequently, the Directors consider that the transaction meets the criteria of acquisition of assets and liabilities rather than business combination, and accounted for the transaction as such.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

 

IFRS 9 issued in November 2009 introduced new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS 9 was subsequently amended in October 2010 to include requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition, and in November 2013 to include the new requirements for general hedge accounting. Another revised of IFRS 9 was issued in July 2014 mainly to include a) impairment requirements for financial assets and b) limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirements by introducing a 'fair value through other comprehensive income' (FVTOCI) measurement category for certain simple debt instruments.

1.    New and revised IFRSs in issue but not yet effective (Cont.)

 

IFRS 9 Financial Instrument (cont.)

 

Key requirements of IFRS 9:

 

·      All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are required to be subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and that have contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are measured at FVTOCI. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair value at the end of subsequent accounting periods. In addition, under IFRS 9, entities may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognised in profit or loss.

 

·      With regard to the measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, IFRS 9 requires that the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability's credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability's credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Under IAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as fair value through profit or loss is presented in profit or loss.

 

·      In relation to the impairment of financial assets, IFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss model, as opposed to an incurred loss model under IAS 39. The expected credit loss model requires an entity to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. In other words, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.

IFRS 9 Financial Instrument (Cont.)

 

Key requirements of IFRS 9 (Cont.):

 

·      The new general hedge accounting requirements retain the three types of hedge accounting mechanisms currently available in IAS 39. Under IFRS 9, greater flexibility has been introduced to the types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the types of instruments that qualify for hedging instruments and the types of risk components of non-financial items that are eligible for hedge accounting. In addition, the effectiveness test has been overhauled and replaced with the principle of an 'economic relationship'. Retrospective assessment of hedge effectiveness is also no longer required. Enhanced disclosure requirements about an entity's risk management activities have also been introduced.

 

The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of IFRS 9 in the future may have an impact on amounts reported in respect of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of IFRS 9 until the Group undertakes a detailed review.

 

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

In May 2014, IFRS 15 was issued which establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related interpretations when it becomes effective.

 

The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition.

 

·   Step 1:     Identify the contracts(s) with a customer.

 

·   Step 2:     Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

 

·   Step 3:     Determine the transaction price.

 

·   Step 4:     Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

 

·   Step 5:     Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Cont.)

 

Under IFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when 'control' of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in IFRS 15 to deal with specific scenarios. Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by IFRS 15.

 

The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of IFRS 15 in the future may have an impact on the amounts reported and disclosures made in the Group's consolidated financial statements. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of IFRS 15until the Group performs a detailed review.

 

IFRS 16 Leases

 

In January 2016, the IASB published IFRS 16 Leases. The new Standard supersedes IAS 17 Leases and its associated interpretative guidance.

 

IFRS 16 applies a control model to the identification of leases, distinguishing between leases and service contracts on the basis of whether there is an identified asset controlled by the customer.

 

IFRS 16 introduces significant changes to lessee accounting it removes the distinction between operating and finance leases under IAS 17 and requires a lessee to recognise a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at lease commencement for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets.

 

IFRS 16 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 with early application permitted for entities that apply IFRS 15 at or before the date of initial application of IFRS 16.

 

The Group does not expect that this standard will have a significant effect on its financial statements.

 

Amendments to IAS 7 Disclosure Initiative

 

The amendments require an entity to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes. The amendments do not prescribe a specific format to disclose financing activities, however an entity may fulfil the disclosure objective by providing a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the statement of financial position for liabilities arising from financing activities.

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

 

The amendments clarify the following:

 

1.      Decreases below cost in the carrying amount of a fixed-rate debt instrument measured at fair value for which the tax base remains at cost give-rise to a deductible temporary difference, irrespective of whether the debt instrument's holder expects to recover the carrying amount of the debt instrument by sale or by use, or whether it is probable that the issuer will pay all the contractual cash flows;

 

2.      When an entity assesses whether taxable profits will be available against which it can utilise a deductible temporary difference, and the tax law restricts the utilisation of losses to deduction against income of a specific type (e.g. capital losses can only be set off against capital gains), an entity assesses a deductible temporary difference in combination with other deductible temporary differences of that type, but separately from other types of deductible temporary differences;

 

3.      The estimate of probable future taxable profit may include the recovery of some of an entity's assets for more than their carrying amount if there is sufficient evidence that it is probable that the entity will achieve this; and

 

4.      In evaluating whether sufficient future taxable profits are available, an entity should compare the deductible temporary differences with future taxable profits excluding tax deductions resulting from the reversal of those deductible temporary differences.

 

The amendments apply retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 with earlier application permitted.

 

2.    Amendments to IFRSs that are mandatorily effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016

Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 (Investment Entities); Applying the Consolidation Exception (Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016)

 

The amendments clarify that the exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements is available to a parent entity that is a subsidiary of an investment entity, even if the investment entity measures all its subsidiaries at fair value in accordance with IFRS 10. Consequential amendments have also been made to IAS 28 to clarify that the exemption from applying the equity method is also applicable to an investor in an associate or joint venture if that investor is a subsidiary of an investment entity that measures all its subsidiaries at fair value.

 

The amendments further clarify that the requirement for an investment entity to consolidate a subsidiary providing services related to the former's investment activities applies only to subsidiaries that are not investment entities themselves.

 

Moreover, the amendments clarify that in applying the equity method of accounting to an associate or a joint venture that is an investment entity, an investor may retain the fair value measurements that associate or joint venture used for its subsidiaries.

 

Lastly, clarification is also made that an investment entity that measures all its subsidiaries at fair value should provide the disclosures required by IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interest on Other Entities.

 

The amendments apply retrospectively.

 

Amendments to IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative

 

The amendments were in response to comments that there were difficulties in applying the concept of materiality in practice as the wording of some of the requirements in IAS 1 had in some cases been read to prevent the use of judgment. Certain key highlights in the amendments are as follows:

 

·      An entity should not reduce the understandability of its financial statements by obscuring material information with immaterial information or by aggregating material items that have different natures or functions.

 

·      An entity need not provide a specific disclosure required by an IFRS if the information resulting from that disclosure is not material.

·     In the other comprehensive income section of a statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the amendments require separate disclosures for the following items:

 

-      the share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and

 

-      the share of other comprehensive income of associate and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method that will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss.

 

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle

 

The Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle include a number of amendments to various IFRSs, which are summarised below.

 

The amendments to IFRS 5 Introduce specific guidance in IFRS 5 for when an entity reclassifies and asset (or disposal group) from held for sale to held for distribution to owners (or vice versa). The amendments clarify that such a change should be considered as a continuation of the original plan of disposal and hence requirements set out in IFRS 5 regarding the change of sale plan do not apply. The amendments also clarifies the guidance for when held-for-distribution accounting is discontinued.

 

The amendments to IFRS 7 provide additional guidance to clarify whether a servicing contract is continuing involvement in a transferred asset for purpose of the disclosures required in relation to transferred assets.

 

The amendments to IAS 19 clarify that the rate used to discount post-employment benefit obligations should be determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds. The assessment of the depth of a market for high qualify corporate bonds should be at the currency level (i.e. the same currency as the benefits are to be paid). For currencies for which there is no deep market in such high quality corporate bonds, the market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds denominated in that currency should be used instead.

 

The application of these amendments did not have a material effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

B.    Fair value measurement of investment properties (Level 3 classification)

 

1.    The fair value of investment property is determined at least once a year or when indications of value changes arise, based on a valuation performed by independent reputable experts.

 

The valuation is performed using the income capitalisation method, which is a valuation model based on the present value of expected Net Operating Income per property. Real estate valuations are based on the net annual cash flows after capitalisation on discounted rates that reflect the specific risks inherent in property activity.

 

The valuations reflect the profile of the tenants which are legally committed to the lease agreement and the remaining economic life of the asset. The market rents used in the valuation vary per location, uses and condition of the property, age and level of finishing of various assets, even in the same building. Average rent in respect of office spaces can range from €5-20 per month per square meter; for retail properties, between €4-26 per month per square meter; for logistics properties between €2-6 per month per square meter. For office, commercial and logistics properties, discounted rates range between 5.25 % -9.0%.

 

In estimating the fair value of the properties, the highest and the best use of the properties is their current use.

NOTE 5:         INVESTMENT PROPERTIES (Cont.)

 

B.    Fair value measurement of investment properties (level 3 classification) (cont.)

 

1.    (Cont.)

 

A number of factors contribute to the value of retail properties, such as national and local economic development, investment demand created by property investors, and interest rates.

While changes in investment properties' fair value have an effect on the Group's profit for the financial year, they do not have an immediate impact on cash flow.

 

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the entity's investment properties are rents achieved at market (when these increase, an increase in properties value may occur), discount rates (when these increase, a decrease in properties value may occur) and occupancy rates (when these increase, an increase in property values may occur). Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Sensitivity to change in the properties' fair value, or the risk associated with fair value, can be tested by altering the above key parameters. Furthermore, the effect of the change in each parameter is not necessarily similar - as such, changes in the rents and discount rates might have a more significant effect on the properties' value than similar change of the occupancy rates. In addition it is noted that changes in different parameters might occur simultaneously. For example a change in occupancy may connect to a change in market rents when they impact fair value simultaneously.

C.    Additions

 

1.      In July 2015 the Group completed an acquisition of a loan facility of a portfolio of 6 office properties in Germany, at total acquisition costs of approximately €40 million plus minor acquisition expenses. The properties were part of the second portfolio mentioned in Note 5 the Group annual financial statement for the year 2015. As a result of the acquisition of the loan facility, the Group regained full control over the aforementioned six properties and consolidated them from the date of acquisition. The acquired portfolio has a lettable area of 63,000 sqm at an occupancy rate of 72% and it generates an aggregate annual net rent of approximately €5.5 million.

 

The revaluation of these properties in 2015 resulted in a revaluation profit of approximately €42 million, which was recognized in the income statement under Fair Value of Investment Properties.

 

In December 2016, the Group financed one of the aforementioned six properties located in Potsdam. For further details, see Note 7H.

 

2.      During 2015 the Group has acquired a 135,000 sqm complex of office buildings in Stuttgart, Germany, for a total acquisition cost of approximately €55 million.

The 135,000 sqm complex includes 63,000 sqm of lettable area at an occupancy rate of 95% and rights for further development of additional 55,000 sqm. It generates an aggregate annual net rent of approximately €4.5 million. 

 

3.      In January 2016 the Group acquired two office buildings for a total acquisition cost of €15 million.

         The acquisition was financed by the Group's own resources and by a €10.5 million loan facility provided by a German bank as detailed in Note 7E.

 

4.      In March 2016 the Group acquired a complex of three office buildings in Frankfurt Oberursel, Germany, for a total price consideration of 25.5 million.

        To secure the recoverability of these loans, the Group received a lien over the shares of the project companies and lien rights over the projects and their income. In addition, the loans are secured by personal guarantees of shareholders of the project companies and the developers have committed not to grant a lien naming rights over the project, except a lien in favour of the financing bank, and not to allot any securities of the project companies without the consent of the Group.

 

As of 31 December 2016:

Assets Management Company and ultimate controlling party:

 

At the date of this report Summit Real Estate Holdings Ltd ("SHL") holds approximately 50.01% of the Ordinary shares in the Company. SHL is under the control of Mr. Zohar Levy, the Managing Director of the Group. Summit Management CO S.A. ("SMC"), a company 100% owned by Zohar Levy, was appointed as an Asset Manager on 19 May 2006. The terms of this appointment were revised in February 2014. Additional amendment has been taken place after the end of the reporting period. For the terms and conditions of the management agreement, refer to Note 13b.

 

The amounts owed to related parties as of 31 December 2016 include the provision for management fees to SMC in the amount of €971,000 (including a provision for a performance based compensation in the amount of 750,000).

 

Terms and conditions of the management agreement

 

The management agreement was amended in 14 February 2014 in preparation for Admission to AIM. According to the amendment of the agreement, SMC is responsible for providing certain public company services and advisory services to the Group, including the services of the Group's Managing Director and Finance Director.

 

Since the Admission of the company, SMC is entitled to an advisory fee equal to €750,000 per annum, payable quarterly, and to a performance-based bonus of up to €750,000 per annum depending on certain performance criteria (as detailed below).

B.        Compensation of key management personnel of the Company: (Cont.)

 

Terms and conditions of the management agreement (Cont.)

 

The annual performance-based bonus of €750,000 may be payable in each accounting year, where the amount is based on hurdles to be determined by the remuneration and nomination committee of the Group. The bonus shall be payable if the Group's Funds From Operations ("FFO") is equal to or greater than 112% of the FFO determined by remuneration and nomination committee of the Group for the applicable accounting year ("Base FFO"). Where the Company's FFO in the accounting year is above the Base FFO but less than 112% of the Base FFO, SMC shall be entitled to an amount equal to the pro-rata proportion of the annual performance-based Bonus. Any Bonus which SMC is entitled to receive in any relevant accounting year shall be reduced by an amount equal to any carried interest amount paid to SMC pursuant to the articles of association of SFL in respect of the same accounting year, provided that any Bonus shall not be reduced to less than zero.

As at 31 December 2016 the performance criteria were met and a provision in the amount of €750,000 was included in the Group's annual financial statements. The payment of the performance-based bonus is subject to an approval of the remuneration and nomination committee of the Group.

 

In March 2017 the management agreement was revised through implementation of three principal amendments to the fee payable to SMC. 

 

The annual advisory fee payable to SMC remains €750,000, but going forward SMC is obliged to provide the services of the Managing Director only and not the services of the Finance Director, which is engaged directly by the Group since November 2014.

 

The existing annual performance-based bonus entitlement of SMC remains capped at a maximum of €750,000 per annum. However, the basis on which the Bonus amount is calculated has been amended so that it is no longer based on the Group's FFO, but by reference to the aggregate return to the shareholders of the Company at the end of each accounting year, whether as a result of dividends received and/or an increase in the net asset value of the Group (excluding any increase due to revaluations) (the "Return"). The performance-based bonus is calculated on a pro-rata basis for any increase in the Return up to and including 5.5%.

 

SMC shall be entitled to receive a "Special Bonus" if, at any time in the period commencing on 1 January 2017 and ending on the date falling three years thereafter (i.e. 1 January 2020), there is a qualifying sale or series of sales of any properties of the Group.  A qualifying sale or series of sales is one, which alone or in aggregate, results in the proceeds received by the Summit Group, (net of any costs and expenses incurred in connection with the relevant sale(s)) and less the value (as stated in the Group's valuation as at 30 June 2016) of the properties sold, being greater than €50 million (the whole of such amount being the "Qualifying Amount"). The Special Bonus shall be an amount equal to five per cent. of the Qualifying Amount and is subject to a total aggregate cap of €10 million over the three year term. 

In addition, in the first accounting year in which a Special Bonus is payable, any bonus payable in that same year shall be deducted from the amount of the Special Bonus so payable.

Terms and conditions of the management agreement (Cont.)

 

The articles of association of SFL ("SFL Articles") contain certain provisions which relate to SMC's carried interest entitlement in respect of their services provided under the initial Portfolio Management Agreement from 2006.  SMC holds special B shares in Summit Finance Limited which will give it the right to receive a carried interest if the Company distributes a cash return on shareholders' equity of at least 8% in any financial year ("the Hurdle"). SMC will be entitled to receive 25% of the cash return in that year in excess of the Hurdle after deducting the carried interest entitlement. If the Company has not achieved a cash return on shareholders' equity of at least 8% in any previous year ("a Shortfall"), the carried interest will not be paid until the Shortfall has been made up. Where such fees arise, they are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. No amounts were ever due in respect of aforementioned. As of 31 December 2016, the Shortfall is approximately €205.1 million. Therefore, the likelihood that SMC would be entitled to receive any carried interest is extremely low.

 

SFL articles were amended so SMC's entitlement to receive any carried interest payable is by virtue of its ownership of B shares in SFL. The SFL Articles and the amended Portfolio Management Agreement provide that the B shares may be held by whoever is the appointed asset manager under the Portfolio Management Agreement or any other asset or portfolio management agreement to which the Group is a party from time to time.

B)        The Company is subject to taxation under the laws of Guernsey. The Company qualifies for exempt status, which results in no Guernsey taxation on income it receives, including interest and dividends received, or capital gains from the disposal of investments. Exempt status is achieved by application. Application is made to the Director of Income Tax in Guernsey for confirmation that the Company is eligible for exempt status under the Income Tax (Exempt Bodies) (Guernsey) Ordinance, 1989. The exemption must be reapplied on an annual basis. The subsidiaries are subject to income taxes in their country of domicile in respect of their income. The ordinary corporate income tax rate in Germany as of 31 December 2016 is 15.825% (31 December 2015: 15.825%). The majority of the Group subsidiaries are subject to German tax which will include RETT on property transactions, where applicable. Certain Group subsidiaries are taxable in Guernsey at 0%.

NOTE 17:       TAXATION (Cont.)

 

D)        Group's carried forward tax losses for which deferred taxes were not recognized are €97 million (as of 31 December 2015 - €91 million). Deferred tax assets on loss carry forward are recognized by the Group according to the applicable tax laws, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. 

 

E)        Real Estate Transfer Tax:

Transactions concerning German real estate may trigger Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) of 3.5% to 6.5% of the purchase price or the asset value, according to the location of the real estate.

 

NOTE 18:       FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Group's principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise mainly bank loans, and trade payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to raise finance for the Group's operations. The Company has various financial assets such as trade receivables and cash and short-term deposit. As to derivative transactions, see Note 7.

The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk as summarized below.

 

Market risk:

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise two types of risks that are relevant to the Company:  Interest rate risk and Price risk.

 

·       Interest rate risk:

The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.

The Group's policy is to fix the interest rate of its bank loans by entering into fixed interest rate loan agreements and by entering into interest rate swaps, in which the Group agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. At 31 December 2016 after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, the majority of the Group's borrowings are at a fixed rate of interest. All interest rate swap contracts exchanging floating rate interest amounts for fixed rate interest amounts are designated as cash flow hedges in order to reduce the Group's cash flow exposure resulting from variable interest rates on borrowings. The interest rate swaps and the interest payments on the loan occur simultaneously and the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss over the period that the floating rate interest payments on debt affect profit or loss.

 

However, fixing the interest rates of bank loan agreements exposes the Group to market risk on changes in fair value of the swap, as presented below:

·        Price risk:

The Group's marketable securities and available for sale financial instruments are susceptible to price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investment in those instruments. The Group manages the equity price risk through diversification and placing limits on individual and total equity instruments. The Company's senior management monitors value and extent of such investments on an ongoing basis.

 

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period. As of 31 December 2016, the Group does not hold any marketable securities and available for sale financial instruments:

·        Credit risk:

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations, as reflected as of the period end in the Group's financial statements, under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities.

 

The Group performs ongoing credit evaluations of its lessees and the financial statements include specific allowances for doubtful accounts which, in management's estimate, adequately reflect the underlying loss of debts whose collection is doubtful.

 

The Group does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The Group defines counterparties as having similar characteristics if they are related entities.

·        Credit risk (Cont.):

 

The carrying amount of financial assets recognised in financial statements net of impairment losses represents Group's maximum exposure to credit risk, without taking into account collateral or other credit enhancements held.

 

Collateral and other credit enhancements are obtained in most cases, pursuant to management assessment of the client's credit quality and an assignment of its credit limits.

 

The Group does not invest its cash with banks that have a low credit rating.

Fair value of financial instruments and non-financial instruments:

 

Fair value of financial instruments carried at amortised cost:

The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at amortised cost in the financial statements approximate their fair values.

 

Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position:

The financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 2 and 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

 

·       Level 1 fair value measurements marketable securities are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·       Level 2 fair value measurements (swaps) are derived from inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for those instruments directly (i.e. as prices).

 

·       Level 3 fair value measurements (available-for-sale investment - unquoted equity share) are derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
