* * ENDS * *
2024 experienced continued market fluidity in South East Europe / East Mediterranean Region both with wars persisting and with markets being cautious, especially as the new USA administration seems to have changed strategy in the region. Politically, Romania experienced the annulment of the first round of the Presidential elections with new elections having been called for May 2025 (have taken place), putting the usual market growth in reverse gear. In this difficult environment, SPDI succeeded in closing the Arcona Property Fund (APF) transaction by contributing to APF the final Kiev property asset with an agreement having been signed in December 2024 and with the related APF shares having been received in February 2025, in a transaction that took an extremely long time to finalise for various different reasons. Following the APF transaction closing, SPDI's directors and Management are focused on monetizing the remaining property assets of the Company and reviewing its strategy for future growth, both of which we expect to show substantial progress within the first half of 2025.
Best regards,
Lambros G. Anagnostopoulos, Chief Executive Officer
Management Report
2.1 Corporate Overview & Financial Performance
SPDI's core property asset portfolio consists of South Eastern European prime commercial and industrial real estate, the majority of which is let to blue chip tenants on long leases. During H1 2024, management in line with the Company's strategy to maximise value for shareholders, worked towards closing the sale of the Ukrainian assets included in Stage 2 of the transaction with Arcona Property Fund N.V (Arcona) as part of the conditional implementation agreement for the sale of Company's property portfolio, excluding its Greek logistics property (which has now also separately been sold), in an all-share transaction to Arcona, an Amsterdam and Prague listed company that invests in commercial property in Central Europe. Arcona originally held high yielding real estate investments in Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia, the combination of two complementary asset portfolios is expected to create a significant European property company, benefiting both the Company's and Arcona's respective shareholders.
Following the completion of Stage 1 of the transaction in 2019, which involved the sale of two land plots in Ukraine and residential and land assets in Bulgaria, the transfer of the EOS and Delenco assets in Bucharest, Romania in 2022 (as part of Stage 2) during 2024 the Company sold to Arcona the Kiyanovskiy land plot in Ukraine for a consideration of approximately $1,08 million plus 68.782 new ordinary shares in Arcona. On top of that, the Company also received 10.689 new ordinary shares in Arcona as deferred payment for the transactions of the Romanian assets in 2022.
Since Arcona did not proceed with the acquisition of Rozny, the other land plot in Ukraine, and any discussions for Stage 3 of the transaction have been put on hold due to the overall delay, the sale of Kiyanovskiy marked the completion of the overall transaction with Arcona, from which the Company ended, over and above any cash consideration, with 1.152.381 Arcona shares and 259.627 warrants over the Arcona shares, from which 115.543 are still exercisable upon meeting certain terms. Based on the last reported NAV per share of Arcona, the Company's share portfolio in Arcona is valued at €12,4 million.
Moreover, during 2024 and as part of the joint venture agreement with Myrian Nes Limited for converting €2,5 million of a loan into equity for developing logistics properties in Romania, the parties have reached an agreement involving the development of two different properties for the same tenant in two regional Romanian cities. The agreements with the prospective tenant have been signed, the permitting process has been finalized and the properties are under development. During 2025 the two parties have initiated the process of contributing their assets into a joint vehicle in Cyprus, effectively materializing the joint venture plan.
Income from operations decreased by 10% during 2024 as a result of reduced energy prices which are re-charged to tenants. Net operating income from operations increased by 17%, as a result of the reduced asset operating expenses.

2.2 property Holdings
The Company's portfolio at year-end, and as at the date of this report, consists of a commercial income producing property in Romania and land plots in Ukraine.
Commercial Property Location Key Features Innovations Logistics Park Bucharest, Romania Gross Leaseable Area: 16.570 sqm Anchor Tenant: Favorit Business Srl Occupancy Rate: 82%
Land & Residential Assets Location Key Features Tsymlyanskiy Residence* Kiev, Ukraine Plot of land (~ th. sqm): 4 Rozny Lane Kiev, Ukraine Plot of land (~ th. sqm): 42
*As of November 2021, the Company had already submitted official request to the City of Kiev to extend the lease of the property for another 5 years, since it has first extension rights over any other interested party. The first step in the process whereby the presiding committee of the municipality, before the final approval by the City Council, did not place as many other cases had accumulated which had time priority over our case. During the following period, the committee did not convene at all due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
In 2024, the Company's accredited valuers, namely CBRE Ukraine for the Ukrainian Asset, and NAI RealAct for the Romanian Asset, remained appointed. The valuations have been carried out by the appraisers on the basis of Market Value in accordance with the current Practice Statements contained within the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors ("RICS") Valuation - Global Standards (2017) (the "Red Book") and are also compliant with the International Valuation Standards (IVS).
Following disposals of previous periods, SPDI's portfolio, excluding the Arcona shares, has became more concentrated in terms of geography. At the end of the reporting period, Romania is the prime country of operations (95%) in terms of Gross Asset Value, excluding the Arcona shares, while in Ukraine (5%) the Company still has interests in land plots intended to be sold.
In respect of the Company's income generation capacity, for the last 5 years Romania is the single operating income source.
The table below summarizes the main financial position of each of the Company's assets (representing the Company's participation in each asset) at the end of the reporting period.

The NAV per share as at 31 December 2024 stood at GBP 0,04 and the premium of the Market Value vis a vis the Company's NAV denominated in GBP stands at 1,26% at year-end.
It is noted that if we take into account the amount due but not paid yet to shareholders, pursuant to the decision of the EGM held on 10 July 2024, the adjusted NAV per share as at 31 December 2024 stood at GBP 0,12, reflecting the actual value of shareholders in the Company.
2.3 Financial and Rick Management
The Group's overall bank debt exposure at the end of the reporting period was ~€5,6m being the balance of the financial lease of Innovations Logistics park.
Throughout 2024, the Company focused on managing and preserving liquidity through cash flow optimization. In this context, Management secured under extremely difficult conditions the closing of the transaction with Arcona related to Kiyanovskiy, the main asset held in Ukraine.
2.4 2025 and beyond
With main operations already being minimized, including the externalization of all HR and relevant costs, the Company during 2025 is aiming at repositioning all of its remaining assets, as well as distributing its Arcona shares to its shareholders. Management is working along the guidelines of the board for effectively maximizing the Company's value, by giving our shareholders the opportunity to gain direct exposure to an entity of considerably larger size, with a dividend distribution policy, and active in a more diversified and faster growing region (Central and South Eastern Europe) of the European property market.
Regional Economic Developments[1]
The Romanian economy experienced in 2024 a slower growth of 0,8% as compared to previous years, facing difficult challenges related to domestic and external factors. Such growth was based on strong private consumption, resulted from the increase in wages and pensions of both public and private sectors.
Unemployment rate is estimated marginally lower but still in low levels at 5,30% from 5,50% in 2023, keeping the labor market relatively tight and wage increases high. Inflation rate decreased to 5,50% at year end, marking a significant decline when compared to previous year, and NBR's monetary policy interest rate was gradually decreased during the year to 6,50%.
Macroeconomic data
| Romania | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024f |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GDP (EUR bn) | 203 | 223 | 218 | 241 | 280 | 285 | 287 |
| Population (mn) | 19,5 | 19,5 | 19,3 | 19,3 | 19,6 | 19,5 | 19,5 |

| Unemployment rate (%) | 3,6 | 3,1 | 6,1 | 5,4 | 5,6 | 5,5 | 5,3 |
The Ukrainian economy recorded a 2,90% real GDP growth in 2024, a slowdown compared to the 5,50% growth in 2023. This growth occurred despite the ongoing war and Russia's attacks on infrastructure, with the fourth quarter even experiencing a slight contraction of 0,1%. Domestic demand, loose fiscal policy, and the National Bank of Ukraine's efforts to maintain financial stability supported the economy.
In 2024, the consumer price index (CPI) accelerated to 12% exceeding the forecasts made by country's National Bank. The increase came as a direct consequence of the war, and in particular as a result of increased food costs from the disruption of supply chains, as well as increased electricity costs from the disruption of infrastructure facilities.
Real Estate Market Developments[2]
4.1 Romania
Despite the political turbulence during 2024, Romania's investment volume increased by 47% y-o-y compared to 2023, reaching EUR 733 million. Investment in 2024 distributed evenly between Bucharest (47%) and other main regional markets (53%). Industrial and logistics segment attracted more investment capital, contributing 40% of the total investment volume. The retail segment ranked second, accounting for 32%, followed by the office sector (22%) and hotel sector (6%).
Foreign investors prevailed in the Romanian property market in 2024, accounting for 76% of total investment volume, while local investors contributed the remaining 24%. In 2024, prime yields compressed among all asset classes, with office and retail yields reaching 7,75% and industrial yields reaching 7,50%.
With 690.000 new sq m delivered during 2024, the total modern industrial/ logistics stock reached 7,9 million sq m. Almost half, 47%, of the stock is in Bucharest area, being by far the largest sub-market in the country, followed by West/North with 23%, South with 16%, Central with 10% and East/North with 4%. At the end of 2024 the vacancy rate in Romania's industrial modern stock stood at ~4,0%, while the vacancy rate for Bucharest was ~5,0%. Headline rent in logistic parks recorded increased and stood at 4,75 €/sqm/month mainly as a result of the robust demand.
4.2 Ukraine
The real estate market in Ukraine has not functioned normally since the invasion of the country by Russia in February 2022. Given the ongoing conflict, any relevant activity during the period is almost impossible, the country is operating under martial law, there are no available statistics and/or publications, and therefore no meaningful statements and inferences can be made for the local real estate market.
Property Assets
5.1 Innovations Logistics Park, Romania
As at the year end the terminal was 82% leased. Anchor tenant with 46% is Favorit Business Srl, a large Romanian logistics operator, which accommodates in the terminal their new business line which involves as end user Carrefour. During 2023, the Company also signed a lease agreement with Baustoff + Metall for 3.000 sq m ambient storage space plus office space.
5.2 Land Assets
Tsymlyanskit Residence - Kiev, Ukraine
The extension of the lease, originally expected during 2021, was delayed and currently is on hold due to the invasion of Russia in Ukraine. The asset is planned to be sold upon effective extension of its lease.
Rozny Lane - Kiev Oblast, Kiev, Ukraine
The asset was part of Stage 2 of the Arcona transaction and relevant SPA for its disposal was signed in June 2021 while closing had been postponed due to the invasion of Russia in Ukraine. During the closing process of the Arcona transaction for the Ukrainian properties, Arcona refused to proceed with the asset, and as a result the Company has started looking in the market for alternative buyers.

1 Share premium is not available for distribution.
2 Companies 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 defence at 17% and GHS contribution at 1,7%-2,65% for deemed distributions after 1 March 2019 will be payable on such deemed dividends to the extent that the ultimate shareholders are both Cyprus tax resident and Cyprus domiciled. 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 defence is payable by the Company for the account of the shareholders.
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 euro in the countries where the Group's subsidiaries own property assets.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the ended 31 December 2024
General Information
Country of incorporation
Principal activities
The Group maintains offices in Nicosia - Cyprus, and Kiev - Ukraine.
As at 31 December 2024, the companies of the Group employed and/or used the services of 2 full time equivalent people (2023, 2 full time equivalent people).
Basis of preparation
Going concern basis
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
In particular, the Company has been engaged in a process of disposing of its portfolio of assets in an all share transaction with Arcona Property Fund N.V. Following the completion of the said transaction, the Company is aiming in monetizing all its remaining assets, meaning that as soon as this consummates, it will be left with its corporate receivables and liabilities.
These conditions raise some doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are available to be issued. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon positive future cash flows.
Management believes that the Company will be able to finance its needs given the fact that the additional corporate receivables, as well as the consideration received as part of the transaction with Arcona Property Fund N.V. and of the rest of the transactions, is estimated that it can effectively discharge all corporate liabilities.
- Adoption of new and revised Standards and Interpretations
- Material accounting policy information
The material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented in these consolidated financial statements unless otherwise stated.
4.1 Basis of consolidation
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree's identifiable net assets.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with IAS 39, either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Group's accounting policies.
When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
4.2 Functional and presentation currency
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 Romanian leu is the functional currency for all Group's entities located in Romania, and the Euro is the functional currency for all Cypriot subsidiaries.
- All assets and liabilities are translated at closing rate;
- Equity of the Group has been translated using the historical rates;
- All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity;
- Monetary items receivable from foreign operations for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future and in substance are part of the Group's net investment in those foreign operations are recongised initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the foreign operation.

4.3 Discontinued operations
- represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations;
- is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
4.4 Investment Property at fair value
Investment property, comprising freehold and leasehold land, investment properties held for future development, warehouse and office properties, as well as the residential property units, is held for long term rental yields and/or for capital appreciation and is not occupied by the Group. Investment property and investment property under construction are carried at fair value, representing open market value determined annually by external valuers. Changes in fair values are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income and are included in other operating income.
A number of the land leases (all in Ukraine) are held for relatively short terms and place an obligation upon the lessee to complete development by a predetermined date. It is important to note that the rights to complete a development may be lost or at least delayed if the lessee fails to complete a permitted development within the timescale set out by the ground lease.
Initial measurement and recognition
Investment property is measured initially at cost, including related transaction costs. Investment properties are derecognized 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. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period of retirement or disposal.
Subsequent measurement
If a valuation obtained for an investment property held under a lease is net of all payments expected to be made, any related liabilities/assets recognized separately in the statement of financial position are added back/reduced to arrive at the carrying value of the investment property for accounting purposes.
Basis of valuation
The fair values reflect market conditions at the financial position date. These valuations are prepared annually by chartered surveyors (hereafter "appraisers"). The Group appointed valuers in 2014, which remain the same in 2024:
- CBRE Ukraine, for all its Ukrainian properties,
- NAI Real Act for all its Romanian properties.
"Market Value" is defined as: "The estimated amount for which a property should be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's-length transaction after proper marketing actions, wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion".
In expressing opinions on Market Value, in certain cases the appraisers have estimated net annual rentals/income from sale. These are assessed on the assumption that they are the best rent/sale prices at which a new letting/sale of an interest in property would have been completed at the date of valuation assuming: a willing landlord/buyer; that prior to the date of valuation there had been a reasonable period (having regard to the nature of the property and the state of the market) for the proper marketing of the interest, for the agreement of the price and terms and for the completion of the letting/sale; that the state of the market, levels of value and other circumstances were, on any earlier assumed date of entering into an agreement for lease/sale, the same as on the valuation date; that no account is taken of any additional bid by a prospective tenant/buyer with a special interest; that the principal deal conditions assumed to apply are the same as in the market at the time of valuation; that both parties to the transaction had acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
The valuation is exclusive of VAT and no allowances have been made for any expenses of realization or for taxation which might arise in the event of a disposal of any property.
Valuation Approach
Pre Development
Development
Post Development
Rental values have been assessed as at the date of valuation but having regard to the existing occupational markets taking into account the likely supply and demand dynamics during the anticipated development period. The standard letting fees were assumed within the valuations. In arriving at their estimates of gross development value ("GDV"), the appraisers have capitalized their opinion of net operating income, having deducted any anticipated non-recoverable expenses, such as land payments, and permanent void allowance, which has then been capitalized into perpetuity.
The capitalization rates adopted in arriving at the opinions of GDV reflect the appraisers' opinions of the rates at which the properties could be sold as at the date of valuation.
4.5 Goodwill
A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized directly in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
4.6 Property, Plant and equipment and intangible assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible non-current assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Properties in the course of construction for production, rental or administrative purposes, or for purposes not yet determined and intangibles not inputted into exploitation, are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Group's accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Depreciation and amortization are calculated on the straight line basis so as to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life. The annual depreciation rates are as follows:
| Type | % |
|---|---|
| Leasehold | 20 |
| IT hardware | 33 |
| Motor vehicles | 25 |
| Furniture, fixtures and office equipment | 20 |
| Machinery and equipment | 15 |
| Software and Licenses | 33 |
No depreciation is charged on land.
An item of tangible and intangible assets is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

Financial assets
Financial assets - Business model assessment:
- how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group's management;
- contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
- terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate features;
- prepayment and extension features; and

Net investment hedges
4.10 Leases
the Company has the right to operate the asset; or
The Company as lessor
If an arrangement contains lease and non lease components, the Company applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.
The Company recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight line basis over the lease term as part of 'other income'.
The Company as lessee
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
- fixed payments, including in substance fixed payments;
- amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
Short term leases and leases of low value assets
The Company has elected not to recognise the right of use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets (i.e. IT equipment, office equipment etc.). The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.
4.11 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, using the effective interest method, unless they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, in which case they are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extend there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a prepayment and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that the Group incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds, including interest on borrowings, amortization of discounts or premium relating to borrowings, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings, finance lease charges and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.
4.12 Tenant security deposits
Tenant security deposits represent financial advances made by lessees as guarantees during the lease and are repayable by the Group upon termination of the contracts. Tenant security deposits are recognized at nominal value.
4.13 Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
4.14 Share Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
4.15 Share premium
4.16 Share-based compensation
The Group had in the past and intends in the future to operate a number of equity-settled, share-based compensation plans, under which the Group receives services from Directors and/or employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Group. The fair value of the Director and employee cost related to services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognized as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, excluding the impact of any non-market service and performance vesting conditions. The total amount expensed is recognized over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At each financial position date, the Group revises its estimates on the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the statement of comprehensive income, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital and share premium when the options are exercised.
4.17 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal, tax or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. As at the reporting date the Group has settled all its construction liabilities.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material).
4.18 Non current liabilities
4.19 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. It is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the revenue can be measured reliably. Revenue earned by the Group is recognized on the following bases:
4.20.1 Income from investing activities
4.20.2 Dividend income
Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholders' right to receive payment has been established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably).
4.20.3 Interest income
Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion (accrual) basis, using the effective interest rate method.
4.20.4 Rental income
4.20 Service charges and expenses recoverable from tenants
Income arising from expenses recharged to tenants is recognized on an accrual basis.
4.21 Other property expenses
4.22 Borrowing costs
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
All other borrowing costs are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred as interest costs which are calculated using the effective interest rate method, net result from transactions with securities, foreign exchange gains and losses, and bank charges and commission.
4.23 Asset Acquisition Related Transaction Expenses
4.24 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
4.24.1 Current tax
4.24.2 Deferred tax
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
4.24.3 Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
4.24.4 Withholding Tax
4.24.5 Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Group's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders.
4.25 Value added tax
4.26 Operating segments analysis
| Commercial-Industrial | Land Assets |
4.27 Earnings and Net Assets value per share
4.28 Comparative Period
- New accounting pronouncement
- Critical accounting estimates and judgments
- Provision for impairment of receivables
- Fair value of financial assets
- Fair value of investment property
The fair value of investment property is determined by using various valuation techniques. The Group selects accredited professional valuers with local presence to perform such valuations. Such valuers use their judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each financial reporting date. The fair value has been estimated as at 31 December 2024 (Note 18.2).
Income taxes
Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Impairment of tangible assets
Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).
Provision for deferred taxes
Deferred tax is not provided in respect of the revaluation of the investment property and investment property under development as the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of this temporary difference and the Management has intention not to reverse the temporary difference in the foreseeable future. The properties are held by subsidiary companies in Ukraine, Greece and Romania. Management estimates that the assets will be realized through a share deal rather than through an asset deal. Should any subsidiary be disposed of, the gains generated from the disposal will be exempt from any tax.

- Risk Management
7.1 Financial risk factors
7.1.1 Operating Country Risks
7.1.1.1 Ukraine
Ukrainian economy recorded a 2,90% real GDP growth in 2024, a slowdown compared to the 5,50% growth in 2023. This growth occurred despite the ongoing war and Russia's attacks on infrastructure, with the fourth quarter even experiencing a slight contraction of 0,1%. Domestic demand, loose fiscal policy, and the National Bank of Ukraine's efforts to maintain financial stability supported the economy.
In 2024, the consumer price index (CPI) accelerated to 12% exceeding the forecasts made by country's National Bank. The increase came as a direct consequence of the war, and in particular as a result of increased food costs from the disruption of supply chains, as well as increased electricity costs from the disruption of infrastructure facilities.
7.1.1.2 Romania
Romanian economy decelerated as compared to previous years and grew by 0,9% in 2024 driven primarily by private consumption on the back of wage and pension increases. In contrast, agricultural and construction sectors, as well as overall investment, recorded decrease in their activities, affecting in that way negatively the overall growth of the economy.
The general government deficit reached 9,3% in 2024 due to the high increases in public wages and pensions, while unemployment rate recorded marginally lower at 5,4% and inflation rate notably lower at 5,8%. Taking into account the European economic considerations and the international political circumstances, the macroeconomic indicators of local economy have become weaker than previous years, and therefore the associated risk has been increased.
7.1.2 Risks associated with property holding and development associated risks
Several factors may affect the economic performance and value of the Group's properties, including:
- cyclical fluctuations in the property market generally;
- the attractiveness of the property to tenants or residential purchasers;
- decreases in capital valuations of property;
- covenants, conditions, restrictions and easements relating to the properties;
7.1.3 Property Market price risk
7.1.4 Interest rate risk
7.1.5 Credit risk
7.1.6 Currency risk
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. Excluding the transactions in Ukraine, all of the Group's transactions, including the rental proceeds are denominated or pegged to EUR. In Ukraine, even though there is no recurring income stream, the fluctuations of UAH against EUR entails significant FX risk for the Group in terms of its local assets valuation. Management monitors the exchange rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly, although there are no available financial tools for hedging the exposure on UAH. It should be noted though that the current war in Ukraine causing economic and political problems, as well as any probable currency devaluation may affect Group's financial position.
7.1.7 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 41.1 of the consolidated financial statements.
7.1.8 Compliance risk
7.1.9 Litigation risk
7.1.10 Insolvency risk
Insolvency arises from situations where a company may not meet its financial obligations towards a lender as debts become due. Addressing and resolving any insolvency issues is usually a slow moving process in the Region. Management is closely involved in discussions with creditors when/if such cases arise in any subsidiary of the Group aiming to effect alternate repayment plans including debt repayment so as to minimize the effects of such situations on the Group's asset base.

* As of November 2021, the Group had submitted properly the official request to the City of Kiev to extend the lease of Tsymlyanskiy Residence property for another 5 years, since the Group has first extension rights over any other interested party. The first step in the process whereby the presiding committee of the municipality convenes, before the final approval by the City Council, delayed, and following the Russian insurgence of Ukraine, everything has been put on hold. The Management remains confident that the Company will be awarded the lease extension once the war status permits.
** The Company has initiated the process of striking off subsidiaries in Cyprus, and Ukraine which became idle following the disposals of local asset owning companies and properties. Some of these companies are still expecting relevant official clearance from local Trade Registry and Tax Authorities.
*** During 2023 BlueBigBox 3 Srl, the SPV which used to hold Praktiker Craiova property that was sold back in 2018, was entered into an insolvency process initiated by a vendor. The case is associated with the Bluehouse litigation case (Note 39.3). Following the settlement made with BLUEHOUSE ACCESSION PROPERTY HOLDING III S.A.R.L. pursuant to a consensual order issued by the District Court of Nicosia in action no. 3362/2018, relevant legal motions against Bluebigbox3 Srl have been withdrawn. Although SPDI has re-gained control of the subsidiary, it has been decided the insolvency process to be continued, since the company is idle following the disposal of its relevant asset.

9.(a) Description
The Company announced on 18 December 2018 that it has entered into a conditional implementation agreement for the sale of its property portfolio, excluding its Greek logistics properties ('the Non-Greek Portfolio'), in an all-share transaction to Arcona Property Fund N.V. The transaction is subject to, among other things, asset and tax due diligence (including third party asset valuations) and regulatory approvals (including the approval of a prospectus required in connection with the issuance and admission to listing of the new Arcona Property Fund N.V. shares), as well as successful negotiating and signature of transaction documents. During 2019 and as part of the Arcona transaction the Company sold the Boyana Residence asset in Bulgaria, as well as the Bela and Balabino land plots in Ukraine, while in March and June 2021 has signed SPAs related to Stage 2 of the transaction, namely for the EOS and Delenco assets in Romania, as well as the Kiyanovskiy and Rozhny assets in Ukraine. In March and June 2022, the Company sold effectively to Arcona the Delenco and EOS assets, and in December 2024 the Kiyanovskiy asset in Ukraine was sold. Regarding Rozhny asset, Arcona stepped back from its acquisition and therefore the Company is seeking alternative ways for its effective disposal.

Income
Income from continued operations for the year ended 31 December 2024 represents:
a) rental income, as well as service charges and utilities income collected from tenants as a result of the rental agreements concluded with tenants of Innovations Logistics Park in Romania. It is noted that part of the rental and service charges/ utilities income related to Innovations Logistics Park is currently invoiced by the Company as part of a relevant lease agreement with the Innovations SPV and the lender, however the asset, through the SPV, is planned to be transferred as part of the overall strategy of the Company. Upon a final agreement for such transfer, the Company will negotiate with the lender its release from the aforementioned lease agreement, and if succeeds, upon completion such income will be also transferred.
The increase in the rental income is a result of rent indexation and the decrease in service charges and utility income is a result of the de-escalation of energy and utility prices, which are re-invoiced to the tenants.

18.5 Investment Property valuation method presentation
In respect of the Fair Value of Investment Properties the following table represents an analysis based on the various valuation methods. The different levels as defined by IFRS have been defined as follows:
- Level 1 relates to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active and liquid markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2 relates to inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability indirectly (that is, derived from prices). Level 2 fair values of investment properties have been derived using the market value approach by comparing the subject asset with similar assets for which price information is available. Under this approach the first step is to consider the prices for transactions of similar assets that have occurred recently in the market. The most significant input into this valuation approach is price per sqm.
- Level 3 relates to inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs). Level 3 valuations have been performed by the external valuer using the income approach (discounted cash flow) due to the lack of similar sales in the local market (unobservable inputs).
To derive Fair Values the Group has adopted a combination of income and market approach weighted according to the predominant local market and economic conditions.

The accrued interest was €123.849 (2023: €243.335). The loan provided initially with a convertibility option which was not exercised. The loan is bearing a fixed interest rate of 10%. In August 2022 the Company signed with the borrower a Shareholders Agreement for a joint venture for developing logistics properties in Romania. As part of this agreement the Company will convert €2,5 million of the loan into a 50% equity stake of the joint venture company. The objective of this new company, in which borrower is contributing €2,5 million in equity funds too, is to develop a portfolio of logistics properties in Romania with a view of letting them to third party tenants in a market that has very low vacancy and has shown substantial strength and resilience in recent years. The parties have evaluated many opportunities and currently are in the development stage of two different properties in two different regional cities in Romania. Since 2024 the loan amount intended to be converted into equity is recorded in different account with no interest accruing. The JV was set up in 2025 and the conversion has been implemented through an assignment of the receivable to the joint SPV against relevant participation in a share capital increase. The remaining part of the Olympians Loan is being repaid in regular intervals and is expected to be fully repaid to the Company by the end of 2025.
Discontinued operations
Trade and other receivables decrease due to the sale of associate company during the year.

34.1 Land Plots Financial Leasing
The Group holds land plot in Ukraine under leasehold agreements which in terms of the accounts are classified as finance leases. Lease obligations are denominated in UAH. The Group's obligations under finance leases are secured by the lessor's title to the leased assets. Regarding Tsymlyanskiy, as of November 2021, the Group had submitted properly the official request to the City of Kiev to extend the lease property for another 5 years, since the Group has first extension rights over any other interested party. The first step in the process whereby the presiding committee of the municipality convenes, before the final approval by the City Council, delayed and following the Russian insurgence of Ukraine all decisions have been put on hold. We remain confident that we will be awarded the lease extension once the war status permits, and we continue calculate relevant future lease obligations.
34.2 Sale and Lease Back Agreements

- Best Day Real Estate Srl was obliged to provide cash collateral in the amount of €250.000 in Piraeus Leasing Romania, which had been deposited as follows, half in May 2014 and half in May 2015.
- Share Premium Reduction- payable to shareholders
As per the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 10 July 2024, the shareholders of the Company resolved for the reduction of the balance of the share premium account of the Company by €11.705.448,10 as this amount exceeds the needs of the Company and that the said amount is distributed pro rata to the shareholders of the Company holding ordinary shares of €0,01 each, either by the distribution of shares in Arcona Property Fund N.V. held by the Company or by bank transfer of readily available funds or both as the board of directors may in their discretion decide. By the end of the year the Company, expecting to receive the new shares from the sale of Kiyanovskyi, had not proceeded to the distribution of shares and/ or payment of cash and therefore the amount remained as payable.

Financial Risk Management
41.1 Capital Risk Management
The Group manages its capital to ensure adequate liquidity for implementing its strategy 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 29), bonds (Note 30), trade and other payables (Note 31) deposits from tenants (Note 32), financial leases (Note 34), taxes payable (Note 33) and equity attributable to ordinary or preferred shareholders.
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.

41.3 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.
41.4 Economic Market Risk Management
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 adopts policies to encounter 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 floating interest-bearing assets. On December 31st, 2024, cash and cash equivalent (including continued and discontinued operations) financial assets amounted to €1.166.703 (2023: €497,389) of which approx. €511 in UAH and €220.154 in RON (Note 25) while the remaining are mainly denominated in either USD,GBP or €.
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its borrowings (including continued and discontinued operations) amounting to €517.371 (31 December 2023: €114.865) 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.
Interest Rate Risk (continued)
As at 31 December 2024, the weighted average interest rate for all the interest bearing borrowing and financial leases of the Group stands at 5,05% (31 December 2023: 4,7%).
| Actual as at 31.12.2024 | +100 bps | +200 bps | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weighted average interest rate | 5,05 % | 6,05 % | 7,05 % |
