more than twenty years ago, our Group began with a simple idea – to create a little piece of paradise on the exquisitely desolate Red sea coast. today, Orascom Development is a leading developer of integrated towns with a strong foothold in egypt and the middle east. With the alpine Andermatt project in switzerland, we have expanded our activity outside this region into central europe. Our primary business is to develop, construct and manage tourist destinations with several projects at different stages of completion across eight jurisdictions.

a negative impact on the value of the Rubble, which has depreciated by 14% against the euro from January 2015 until December 2015.
On the hotels side, taba Heights remains to be the Group’s most challenged destination, as a result of the ongoing travel bans on the area that have yet to be lifted since 2011. the Board has come to the decision to drastically reduce the bleeding of the destination, minimizing operations as much as possible to save on costs and accordingly, we have shut down 5 out of the 6 hotels, as of August 2015. el Gouna continued to benefit from its safe haven and has been outperforming the competitors, closing the year at an occupancy of 68% compared to 60% in 2014. the Russian aircraft incident that took place in October 2015, jeopardized the security scene of egypt’s touristic cities and has negatively impacted our Hotels performance in the country, especially in makadi, which was operating at only 30% of its capacity as a cost cutting procedure.
On the other hand, we have successfully capitalized on the high potentiality of salalah Beach, Oman with the opening of Al Fanar Hotel & Residence recording an occupancy rate of 46% during its first month of operation and is now at an average occupancy of 77% in January and February 2016. We are also planning the construction of the promenade condominium Hotel in montenegro, expected to commence by mid-2016.
Changes in the executive management
I stepped in as the ceO of the Group on an Ad-Interim basis during one of the most difficult times that this Group had been through. I believe the team and I were able to support the Group during this transition and have helped
in setting the stone for ODH’s next operational turn-around. Accordingly, the BOD and I have agreed that I step down from the executive ceO role and remain the chairman of the Board, handing over my executive duties to mr. Khaled Bichara, as the new ceO effective 1 January 2016. the BOD has also signed a six year advisory agreement with Accelero capital management company limited (“Accelero capital”) whereby Accelero capital will provide advisory services to assist ODH in implementing an operational and financial turn-around under the guidance of the Board of Directors and its management.
We are delighted to welcome Khaled Bichara on board as ceO and Accelero capital to assist the Board and the management in ODH’s turnaround journey. Accelero capital, which was led by Khaled, has a global successful track record of strategic investments and operations. Khaled is a proven leader who has wide experience and an excellent track record of delivering results.
I would like to thank all our employees for their tremendous efforts and commitment during those tough times and I want to thank our buyers and travelers to our town for their loyalty and trust. I have no doubt whatsoever that ODH will flourish under Khaled’s leadership and I wish him and the team every possible success.
khaled Bichara, Ceo of odH (as of 1st of January 2016)
I am honoured to have been recently elected as the new ceO of ODH and particularly fortunate to have succeeded eng. samih sawiris in this role. I believe that eng. samih’s vision and execution together with the team, created a global touristic landmark, complemented with a huge value-asset base that I will work diligently to build on for the subsequent recovery of the Group.
looking back over those past few years and being only 4 months in this post, it is very clear to see that a series of cost savings and structural measures were initiated by the Group, which helped in achieving some notable results through those turbulent times and also in laying a good foundation for future operational and executional focus. Although my appointment comes with great challenges and ongoing uncertainties in the middle east and the rest of world, I still strongly believe in ODH’s current fundamentals and large asset base. I am excited to be working together with all members of the Board, management team and fellow employees to help unlock and optimize the potential value of this great Group.
meanwhile, we must also increase our efforts in the development of our corporate culture, employees’ unity, and employees’ sense of ownership. As we continue to achieve new milestones, I sincerely hope that our shareholders will continue their support of the Group. We will continue to update you on ongoing, mid and long-term developments with timeliness and transparency.
dear Shareholders,
Orascom Development has continued to build on its diversified portfolio of destinations and has achieved notable progress in egypt, Oman and montenegro, despite the increasingly challenging and volatile global economic conditions. We reached our cHF 75 million real estate net sales target for egypt and entered into two sub-development agreements, the largest of which was with one of egypt’s pioneer real estate developer’s for a total value of UsD 20 million, which again solidified our last year’s message to the market, proving the potential value of our undeveloped land bank. We added 218 new rooms in Oman, with the opening of the four-star Al Fanar Hotel & Residence in salalah, thereby completing the 700-room phase I of our hotel development plan in Oman and we witnessed the completion of lustica bay’s first 10 apartment buildings, welcoming lustica’s first residents and commencing the first operational summer season.
operational update
2015 started out on a positive note for the Group with “egypt” still remaining the main contributor to the company’s top line results, up until the fourth quarter of the year. Real estate sales increased by 21.2% compared to the same period last year derived mainly from el Gouna, whereby the adaption of the new strategy of offering a diversified product mix, with a range of price-brackets, appealed to a larger pool of clientele and opened the door to a new target market. We launched 4 different projects this year with a total inventory of UsD 93.4 million and have successfully achieved our sales target of the year.
Interest in lustica Bay, montenegro, has continued to flourish and the project has been delighted to welcome a host of global buyers, as this year witnessed the delivery of the first 72 apartment keys, marking the destination’s first operational summer. However, montenegro witnessed a decline in its total contracted sales as a result of the key-ongoing situation in Russia; the major international real estate market for montenegro. the impact of international sanctions had

Despite the number of challenges that the world tourism witnessed in 2015, with negative impacts on the middle east and egypt, the optimization strategies that we applied in 2014 across our Hotel portfolio set the stones for a successful operation through september 2015.
However, the Russian aircraft incident that took place in October 2015 jeopardized the security scene of egypt’s touristic cities. the Group’s Hotels in egypt, similar to all other Hotels in egypt, suffered the consequent flights’ suspension by Russia and several other european countries.
the performance boost that the Hotels witnessed during the first 9 months, coupled with several commitment deals and cost efficiency programs, limited the magnitude of egypt’s year-end adjusted eBItDA decline to only cHF 1.2 million, going from cHF 7.6 million in 2014 to cHF 6.4 million in 2015. similarly, on the Group’s level, adjusted eBItDA declined by only cHF 0.1 million from cHF 18.2 million in 2014 to cHF 18.1 million in 2015.
FinancialReview2015
Sustainable PerformanceOver the last two years, the hotel segment has undergone a full revamp of the management strategies. Operations, development, sales and procurement were all tackled to create an efficient, profitable and sustainable business model.
Aside from taba Heights, the Group’s most challenged destination operating at only 18% of its capacity starting August 2015 and accumulating a GOp loss of cHF 4.5 million as a result of the travel bans set on the area by most european countries; the Group’s Hotels recorded a positive performance in el Gouna and makadi in egypt and Jebel sifah and salalah Beach in Oman.
el Gouna Hotels reported a positive year-on-year performance with an occupancy growing from 60% to 68% and a tRevpAR growing from cHF 48 to cHF 53.
In makadi and sahl Hasheesh, the Hotels reported a positive year-on-year performance with an occupancy growing from 61% to 64% and a tRevpAR growing from cHF 39 to cHF 41. post the Russian aircraft incident, makadi was operating at only 30% of its capacity as a cost cutting procedure.
A notable year-on-year growth in Oman’s Jebel sifah and salalah Beach Hotels. Occupancy grew from 33% to 51% and tRevpAR grew from cHF 71 to cHF 101.
In the UAe, the cut on the number of rooms affected affected the cove operational figures. 50 rooms of the total Hotel’s inventory (14%) was used as a housing facility for the Hotel’s senior staff in replacement of the Housing complex that was being renovated to serve as an extension for the Hotel. the new Housing facility was already opened in november 2015. cove Rotana, year-on-year occupancy declined from 75% to 70%, and tRevpAR declined from cHF 203 to cHF 196.
MovingForward
With the suspension of the flights from Russia and the news of the airlift cuts from Germany, 2016 is looking to be a challenging year. the team has already started to prepare for the year by undergoing a comprehensive risk management program relying on the Group’s product diversion and extended connections and expertise.
Jointly with our top performing tour operators, soft and hard sell promotional campaigns are being run in Germany for el Gouna, makadi and Oman; in Italy for salalah Beach, and the middle east for taba Heights and the Gulf Hotels.
strict cost cutting measures across the Hotels in egypt are being studied and implemented. From centralization of services to suspension of operations at some Hotels, minimizing fixed costs, or even changing in the meal plans, all possibilities are being tackled.
Wrapping up renovation works at some of the big Hotels in el Gouna and makadi boosted the entire destinations’ image reflecting positively on the average room rate (ARR). compared to 2014, el Gouna Hotels’ ARR increased by 10%; whereas, Royal Azur’s ARR increased by 22%, year-on-year.
As for Oman, capitalizing on the high potentiality of salalah Beach, Orascom announced the opening of Al Fanar Hotel & Residence, a 218-room four-star hotel, running at an average occupancy of 81% in Q1 2016.. Oman is now home to 767 rooms representing 10% of the total Group’s inventory.
Outlookfor2016
A tough beginning for egypt. though el Gouna in specific is out performing its competitors, the Hotels are still suffering from the negative perception of the country. In Q1 2016, the Group’s Hotels in egypt reported an overall decline compared to 2015, year-on-year. At el Gouna, occupancy declined from 62% to 52%; as for makadi and sahl Hasheesh, Hotels reported a year-on-year occupancy decline from 54% to 36%.
On the other hand our Gulf Hotels are witnessing a boost in performance. In February, year-on-year, occupancy at the Omani Hotels grew from 65% to 86%. A huge demand was acknowledged on sifah during the ItB Berlin conference which has led us to study the possibility of adding 80 new rooms to Al Fanar hotel. the cove Rotana in UAe, the Hotel witnessed a recovery with a year-on-year occupancy increase from 67% to 77%. In montenegro we are also planning the construction of the promenade condominium Hotel during Q2 2016 with plans to start operations in the summer of 2018.

construction of the 9 holes golf course, scheduled to be opened in Q3 2016. We are finalizing the design of the Water Park in Salalah, the new addition to the town which will serve real estate owners and hotel guests by Q2 2016, holding an expected capacity of 1,500 visitors.
Moreover we have initiated an option for rental arrangements for the property buyers, which would generate yields for them, as a measure to attract more traffic to the sites in addition to making investments in the destination more attractive.
In Montenegro, the year 2016 will be the busiest year to date on the development and construction front, with the completion of the main marina works, the fitting out of the marina will begin. and we have commenced on the next group of apartments buildings (F & G Buildings) and the exclusive Marina Villas. The “F” stage foresees
the development of eight new buildings with 45 residential units, expected to be completed during 2016. We started the construction of the Promenade Hotel in April 2016 which plans to be operational in the summer of 2018.
The Real Estate Segment KPIs, as of 31 December 2015
Real Estate and Construction Market in 2015
In the year 2015, the political and economic grounds in Egypt have witnessed more stability with the kick-off of the long-awaited parliamentary elections and the release of GDP figures for FY 2014/2015, which provided positive news for the Egyptian economy. GDP increased by 4.2%, more than double the 2.1% increase in FY 2013/2014 and marked the strongest growth in five years. This improvement has been clearly reflected in our real estate sales, whereby we were able to achieve our communicated net sales target for the year, with total net contracted sales of CHF 75.0 million, a 45.6% increase over the same period last year which reached CHF 51.7 million. The huge boost was mainly driven by the significant increase in El Gouna sales reaching CHF 82.9 million in FY 2015 compared to CHF 48.7 million in FY 2014. We have adapted a new real estate strategy that has proved to be successful with the launch of the first project “Joubal Lagoons” in March 2015, with a total inventory of USD 36.9 million and sold out in less than a month from launch. The project offered a diversification of the usual product mix, capitalizing on the exclusivity of the Gouna brand name and appealing to a larger pool of clientele by offering a range of price-bracket and different units to include apartments, twin houses and villas. Building on the success and the hype in demand on the launched Joubal project, we were able to expand on the existing brand and launch new phases of Joubal for a total inventory of USD 23.8 million and have also introduced “Water Side Condos” in Q4 2015, a 145 apartments project, catering for Egyptian young families with total inventory value of USD 32.7 million.
Besides the newly introduced designs in 2015 we have been focusing on controlling construction costs and execution time to drive
up profitability. We are speeding up construction progress and are planning to deliver the Joubal project 6 months ahead of schedule, allowing for faster revenue recognition and finalizing the construction of Ancient Sands hotel, planning to be launched during Q2 2016. In Fayoum, we have reached 75% of construction for Byoum hotel expected to be opened in Q3 2016, we are also finalizing the construction of 85 villas, currently undergoing the finishing touches.
We have also adapted a number of new sales-mechanisms to boost unit sales and enhance the cash flow position. Some of which included the introduction of new attractive promotion packages with extending payment terms, signing with sale-referrals and brokerage agreements and creating a re-sale and rental department for our clients.
Ongoing efforts were taken in developing our Omani destinations, adding to the destinations’ livelihood to ultimately drive up real estate sales. Apart from the normal construction activities associated with our off plan sales, noticeable achievements in 2015 included the completion of 218-room 4-star, Al Fanar Hotel in Salalah, which had its soft opening in December 2015 and enabled us to sell 14 real estate units in Al Fanar project. We successfully handed over 14 units, opened a couple of shops and restaurants and have started the construction of the new staff housing block with a capacity of 55 rooms with all needed services. In Jebel Sifah, we completed the construction of the destination’s new entry road and the first 5 holes of the 9 holes golf course. We also handed over 15 real estate units. Total contracted sales in Oman reached CHF 8.4 million in FY 2015 compared to CHF 13.9 million in FY 2014. The increase in FY 2014 was due to the 38 bulk-deal unit sale in Salalah Beach. Further, we started processing title deeds for real estate units allowing buyers to obtain residency in Oman.
Interest in Lustica Bay, Montenegro, has continued to flourish and the project has been delighted to
welcome a host of global buyers. The year 2015 witnessed the completion of Lustica’s first 10 apartment buildings in the Marina Village, welcoming Lustica’s first residents and commencing the first operational summer season. At the same time, construction is progressing with the main marina works nearing completion and construction has commenced on the next group of apartment buildings. The launch of the Promenade Condominium hotel concept in October has been positively received by the market, we are planning to start its construction in 2016.
Montenegro witnessed a decline in contracted sales to reach CHF 11.1 million in FY 2015 compared to CHF 22.0 million in FY 2014. Various known factors are strongly perceived to have affected sales during the year, including a number of global and macroeconomic factors. A key ongoing issue is the situation in Russia, the major international real estate market for Montenegro and the impact of international sanctions have all had an impact on the value of the Ruble. This adversely affected Russian visitors to Montenegro and coincided with a 125% drop in the number of sales made to Russian buyers in Lustica Bay year over year.
Financial Review 2015
During 2015, real estate and construction revenues decreased by 8.9% to reach CHF 66.4 million compared to CHF 72.9 million in FY 2014. The decrease in revenues resulted from less unit deliveries in Egypt and the deconsolidation of our budget housing project. The segment adjusted EBITDA has declined to reach CHF 16.2 million compared to CHF 20.3 million in FY 2014.
In 2015, ODH sold 254 units for CHF 94.8 million compared to 265 units in 2014 with a value of CHF 87.6 million. Total deferred revenue from real estate that is yet to be recognized until 2018 reached CHF 147 million in FY 2015 compared to CHF 151.0 million in FY 2014.
Outlook for 2016
After the great success that Orascom Hotels and Development (OHD) has achieved in 2015, we believe that we have set the ground for an improved development and sales strategy that will help us achieve our sales target in 2016. In El Gouna, we launched Fanadir Bay project in April 2016 with a total inventory of USD 60.0 million. The project targets second home ownership with a focus on luxurious yet comfortable living with the unique location of the bay and sea view units. We will also launch new products in Fayoum with a total inventory of USD 3.9 million by Q4 2016.
In Makadi, we are currently finalizing the design for the Clubhouse and will proceed to permits in order to commence construction by early 2016.
In Oman, we are revisiting Jebel Sifah’s master plan and are planning to introduce new product types during Q4 2016. We are finalizing the

DestinationManagementEnvironmentin2015
this year witnessed some massive reforms and value-adding services across our destinations. In el Gouna, several maintenance works and upgrades were performed across the destination. new community rules and regulations were established aiming at increasing owner’s and hotel guest’s satisfaction. We also performed several internal restructuring of the operational facilities, resulting in stronger financial performance. In Oman, we have invited a lot of the local and international entrepreneurial spirit in our destinations, encouraging stakeholders to open their own small projects that would ultimately add life to the destination and help build up its community. lustica Bay, montenegro formally kicked off its destination management function by welcoming its first residents and negotiating its first operational summer.
Financialreview2015
Revenues in destination management has increased by 16.4% in FY 2015 to reach cHF 15.6 million compared to cHF 13.4 million in FY 2014. Around 60% of revenues were generated from utility functions such as water or electricity generation, while the remaining 40% were derived from commercial, urban and community services as well as infrastructure and maintenance activities. the segment reported adjusted eBItDA losses of cHF 3.9 million in 2015 compared to a loss of cHF 2.1 million in 2014.
Keyevents
various maintenance works & upgrades within el Gouna were performed during the year, including the renovation of the marina
flooring, street sidewalks, and multiple road pavements which enhanced the traffic and flow within the destination. We also established an owner’s representative system to enhance communication between the company and home owners, developed community rules & regulations that aimed at defining new communication channels and engaging residents/ volunteers in new projects in el Gouna. We have undergone several restructuring efforts of the underperforming business segments, some of which included the hiring of new management, opening of new business lines, and better cost management, mainly of the golf course and the hospital; which then recorded its highest results since inception. We signed a new management contract with the British columbian canadian International school and managed a number of sale outlets to new tenants. last but not least, we worked in collaboration with the marketing and communication team on a number of branded “el Gouna” events namely: el Gouna Rally, new Year’s party, earth Week, squash tournament, sandbox party, children summer camps and Rotary club inauguration.
At the beginning of the year TabaHeightswas partially re-opened after the damage that was caused by the may 2014 floods. Unfortunately, the destination continued to suffer from ongoing travel bans to the sinai peninsula issued by most Western european countries in addition to negative consequences of the plane crash in the sinai peninsula in October 2015. As a result, we had to downsize operations and save on costs, so we decided to shut down five out of our six hotels and have only kept sofitel Hotel open with 442 rooms.
In Oman, the Group is making persistent efforts towards developing the destinations. During 2015, we had successfully completed
the construction of 4-star 218-rooms Al Fanar Hotel and held its soft opening in December, 2015, thereby successfully completing the 700-room phase I of the hotel development plan in Salalah Beach, making it the largest contributor to the development of high-end hotels in Oman over the last five years.
We opened 2 new shops, a restaurant and an art gallery (Bait muzna) displaying Omani and european art work and sculptures. In JebelSifah, we finished 5 out of the 9 holes golf course. We completed the pavement of a new entry road to the destination, the infrastructure of the main resort boulevard and finished the zoning of several villas and landscape. We are happy to announce that we had completed the inflatable water park that will be the first floating waterpark in Oman, and will become one of the main visitor attractions for the destination. We also finished the design and mockup of a 30-35 chalet style ecological hut (eco-Hut resort) and are planning the construction of which by Q4 2016.
In Lustica Bay, we established a small facilities management team responsible for the management, operation and maintenance of all the company’s facilities, including its office buildings, infrastructure works and landscaping. they are also responsible for the completed real estate buildings on behalf of the respective condominium associates. Apart from the company’s office facilities which are managed ‘in house’, the provision of day to day operations and maintenance services is outsourced. Overall facilities management services, including cleaning, waste removal, building maintenance, operations & management and landscape maintenance are contracted to a local company. security services are separately contracted.

Outlookfor2016
In Egypt, specifically in El Gouna, we will continue to strengthen our brand awareness and ensure that guests/residents experience our “life as it should be” vision in our destinations. We will work on positioning el Gouna as an all year round destination and widening the targeted audience by providing an all year round calendar of activities that lasts from morning till night for all age-groups, through different entertainment and sports events. Building on el Gouna’s most important element, the sea, we are currently designing and building the needed infrastructure for a new beach area. We launched a new real estate
project in el Gouna, Fanadir Bay, in early April 2016 and also launched the destionation’s new marketing campaign. Finally, we will continue working on accelerating the monetization of our land bank by identifying new development agreements that will add value to the destination where we see is needed.
For Oman, we are revisiting our master plans and continuing our focus on pushing new real estate sales , through the introduction of new real estate projects in both destinations. We are still working on the destinations revival through introducing new small projects including tennis & basketball courts, boat maintenance workshop, sifah club House, games zone and
eco Huts. the design and feasibility study of the new water park in salalah Beach is planned to start in Q2 2016 with a capacity to hold up to 1,500 visitors.
For Montenegro, 2016 will be a year of consolidation. the main facilities management and security services will continue to be outsourced, while service levels and cost optimizations will be a focus for analysis and review during the year in preparation for the significant increase in responsibility and activity in 2017, when an additional 89 apartments, villas and town homes will be handed over to the buyers and the main marina will commence operations.

As the financial performance targets of the company were not achieved in 2015 and due to the challenging economic and political environment in 2015, the nomination & compensation committee decided and presented to the Board of Directors that regarding the performance related remuneration in 2015 a total sum of only cHF 367’500 (cHF 187,500 in cash, cHF 180,000 in unrestricted shares) shall be paid to the executive management. the Board of Directors agreed with this decision which was accepted by the members of the executive management.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 1 GENERAL INFORMATION Orascom Development Holding AG (“ODH” or “the Parent Company”), a limited company incorporated in Altdorf, Switzerland, is a public company whose shares are traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange. In addition, Egyptian Depository Receipts (“EDRs”) of the Parent Company are traded at the EGX Egyptian Exchange. One EDR represents 1/20 of an ODH share.
The Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) is a leading developer of fully integrated towns that include hotels, private villas and apartments, leisure facilities such as golf courses, marinas and supporting infrastructure. The Group’s diversified portfolio of projects is spread over eight jurisdictions, with primary focus on touristic towns and recently affordable housing. The Group currently operates in Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Oman, Morocco, United Kingdom Montenegro and Switzerland and is continuously seeking development opportunities in untapped yet attractive locations all over the world. The Group has three existing projects: El Gouna, the flagship project, a fully-‐fledged town on the Red Sea coast (Egypt); Taba Heights, on the Sinai Peninsula (Egypt), the Group’s second tourism destination following El Gouna’s business model; and the Cove (Ras Al Khaimah, UAE), the Group’s first development experience outside Egypt.
In January 2015, the Group has sold a 15% stake in its Egyptian subsidiary Orascom Hotels and Development S.A.E. (“OHD”). This transaction marks the return of OHD’s active trading on the EGX since 2008. For further details refer to note 30.
In June 2015, the Group has lost control over its investment in Golden Beach for Hotels Company, Jordan, to an associated company of the Group. For further details refer to note 35.
In June 2014, the Group has lost control over OHC and its subsidiaries whose flagship project is Haram City, an integrated town dedicated to affordable housing in Egypt, catering for the mass population. As the Group still holds a 35.25% interest in these companies, they are consequently shown as investment in associates (refer to notes 19 and 36 for further details).
The addresses of its registered office and principal place of business are disclosed in the introduction to the annual report.
2 Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”)
2.1 Amendments to IFRSs and the new Interpretation that are mandatorily effective for the current year
In the current year, the Group has applied a number of amendments to IFRSs and a new Interpretation issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are mandatorily effective for the current year. None of the revised Standards and the new Interpretation has had a material effect on these financial statements. The details of the revised Standards and the new Interpretation are as follows:
Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits – Employee contributions for defined benefit plans
The Group has applied the amendment to IAS 19 Employee Benefits regarding employee contributions for defined benefit plans for the first time in the current year. IAS 19 Employee Benefits is amended to clarify the requirements that relate to how contributions, to a defined benefit plan, received from employees or third parties that are linked to service should be attributed to periods of service. In addition, it permits a practical expedient if the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service, in that contributions can, but are not required, to be recognised as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered.
The application of these amendments has had no impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

An exception from the general requirement of full gain or loss recognition has been introduced into IFRS 10 for the loss of control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business in a transaction with an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method. A new guidance has been introduced requiring that gains or losses resulting from those transactions to be recognised in the parent's profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investors' interests in that associate or joint venture. Similarly, gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement at fair value of investments retained in any former subsidiary that has become an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method are recognised in the former parent's profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investors' interests in the new associate or joint venture.
IFRS 11 Amends IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements to require an acquirer of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business (as defined in IFRS 3 Business Combinations) to:
-‐ apply all of the business combinations accounting principles in IFRS 3 and other IFRSs, except for those principles that conflict with the guidance in IFRS 11
-‐ disclose the information required by IFRS 3 and other IFRSs for business combinations.
The amendments apply both to the initial acquisition of an interest in joint operation, and the acquisition of an additional interest in a joint operation (in the latter case, previously held interests are not remeasured).
Prospectively to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016
IFRS 15 The new Standard IFRS 15 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.
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.
Unlike the scope of IAS 18, the recognition and measurement of interest income and dividend income from debt and equity investments are no longer within the scope of IFRS 15. Instead, they are within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
Annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018
IFRS 16 The new Standard provides a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and their treatment in the financial statements of both lessees and lessors. It 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.
Significant changes to lessee accounting are introduced, with the distinction between operating and finance leases removed and assets and liabilities recognised in respect of all leases (subject to limited exceptions for short-‐term leases and leases of low value assets). In contrast, the Standard does not included significant changes to the requirements for accounting by lessors.

Amendments resulting from annual improvements 2010 – 2012 Cycle
Makes amendments to the following applicable standards:
• IFRS 3 — Requires contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability to be measured at fair value at each reporting date, irrespectively of whether the contingent consideration is a financial instrument within the scope of IFRS 9 or a non-‐financial asset or liability
• IFRS 8 – Requires disclosure of the judgements made by management in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments, clarifies that reconciliations of segment assets is only required if segment assets are reported regularly
• IFRS 13 — Clarifies that issuing IFRS 13 and amending IFRS 9 and IAS 39 did not remove the ability to measure certain short-‐term receivables and payables on an undiscounted basis (amends basis for conclusions only)
• IAS 16 and IAS 38 — Clarify that the gross amount of property, plant and equipment is adjusted in a manner consistent with a revaluation of the carrying amount
• IAS 24 — Clarifies how payments to entities providing management services are to be disclosed
The application of these amendments has had no impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Amendments resulting from annual improvements 2011 – 2013 Cycle
Makes amendments to the following applicable standards:
• IFRS 3 — Clarifies that IFRS 3 excludes from its scope the accounting for the formation of a joint arrangement in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself
• IFRS 13 — Clarifies the scope of the portfolio exception in paragraph 52
• IAS 40 — Clarifies the interrelationship of IFRS 3 and IAS 40 when classifying property as investment property or owner-‐occupied property
The application of these amendments has had no impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
2.2 Standards and Interpretations in issue but not yet effective
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the Group has not adopted the following Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective. They will be effective on or after the dates described below.
New, amended and revised Standards and Interpretations effective from
IFRS 9 The Group has early applied IFRS 9 (issued in November 2009 and October 2010) as at 1 January 2011 which included new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as well as for derecognition. However, the Group has not yet applied the requirements for general hedge accounting (issued in November 2013) and another revised version of IFRS issued in July 2014 which mainly includes 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” (FCTOCI) measurement category for certain simple debt instruments. Financial liabilities are classified in a similar manner as under IAS 39, however there are differences in the requirements applying to the measurement of an entity's own credit risk, only for financial liabilities that are designated on initial recognition as at FVTOCI
Annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018
IFRS 10/ IAS 28
Amends IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011) to clarify the treatment of the sale or contribution of assets from an investor to its associate or joint venture, as follows:
-‐ require full recognition in the investor's financial statements of gains and losses arising on the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business (as defined in IFRS 3 Business Combinations)
-‐ require the partial recognition of gains and losses where the assets do not constitute a business, i.e. a gain or loss is recognised only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in that associate or joint venture.
These requirements apply regardless of the legal form of the transaction, e.g. whether the sale or contribution of assets occurs by an investor transferring shares in a subsidiary that holds the assets (resulting in loss of control of the subsidiary), or by the direct sale of the assets themselves.

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
– The size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
– Potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;
– Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
– Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.
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.
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.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of a group entity to bring its accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.
All intra-‐group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Changes in the Group's ownership interests in existing subsidiaries
Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group's interests and the non-‐controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-‐controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Parent Company.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-‐controlling interests. When assets of the subsidiary are carried at re-‐valued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the Parent Company had directly disposed of the relevant assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings as specified by applicable IFRSs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity.
3.4 Business combinations Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-‐date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-‐related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:
– deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively;
– liabilities or equity instruments related to share-‐based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-‐based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-‐based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-‐based Payment at the acquisition date; and
– assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-‐current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.
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 acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-‐date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-‐date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed 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 interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

IAS 1 Amends IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements to address perceived impediments to preparers exercising their judgement in presenting their financial reports by making the following changes:
-‐ clarification that information should not be obscured by aggregating or by providing immaterial information, materiality considerations apply to the all parts of the financial statements, and even when a standard requires a specific disclosure, materiality considerations do apply;
-‐ clarification that the list of line items to be presented in these statements can be disaggregated and aggregated as relevant and additional guidance on subtotals in these statements and clarification that an entity's share of OCI of equity-‐accounted associates and joint ventures should be presented in aggregate as single line items based on whether or not it will subsequently be reclassified to profit or loss;
-‐ additional examples of possible ways of ordering the notes to clarify that understandability and comparability should be considered when determining the order of the notes and to demonstrate that the notes need not be presented in the order so far listed in paragraph 114 of IAS 1.
Annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016
IAS 16/ IAS 38
The amendments to IAS 16 prohibit entities from using a revenue-‐based depreciation method for items of property, plant and equipment. The amendments to IAS 38 introduce a rebuttable presumption that revenue is not an appropriate basis for amortisation of an intangible asset. This presumption can only be rebutted in limited circumstances.
Prospectively to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016
Various Annual Improvements 2012-‐2014 Cycle
Makes amendments to the following standards:
IFRS 5 — Adds specific guidance in IFRS 5 for cases in which an entity reclassifies an asset from held for sale to held for distribution or vice versa and cases in which held-‐for-‐distribution accounting is discontinued
IFRS 7 — Additional guidance to clarify whether a servicing contract is continuing involvement in a transferred asset, and clarification on offsetting disclosures in condensed interim financial statements
IAS 19 — Clarify that the high quality corporate bonds used in estimating the discount rate for post-‐employment benefits should be denominated in the same currency as the benefits to be paid
IAS 34 — Clarify the meaning of 'elsewhere in the interim report' and require a cross-‐reference
Annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2016
The Group is currently assessing whether these changes will impact the consolidated financial statements in the period of initial application.
3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
3.1 Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
3.2 Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that are measured at fair value or amortized cost, as appropriate and investment properties that are measured at fair value as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
3.3 Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Group incorporate the financial statements of the Parent Company and entities (including special purpose entities) controlled by the Parent Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved when the Company has power over the investee, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

Upon disposal of an associate that results in the Group losing significant influence over that associate, any retained investment is measured at fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset in accordance with IFRS 9.The difference between the previous carrying amount of the associate attributable to the retained interest and its fair value is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate. In addition, the Group accounts for all amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the same basis as would be required if that associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income by that associate would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) when it loses significant influence over that associate.
When a Group entity transacts with associates of the Group, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group.
3.6 Goodwill Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business (see note 3.4) less accumulated impairment losses, if any.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated, starting from the acquisition date, to each of the Group’s cash-‐generating units (or groups of cash-‐generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. When assessing each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated, the Group’s objective is to test goodwill for impairment at a level that reflects the way the Group manages its operations and with which the goodwill would naturally be associated under the reporting system in place.
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 recognised directly in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
On disposal of the relevant cash-‐generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.
The Group’s policy for goodwill arising on the acquisition of an associate is described in note 3.5.
3.7 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.
Different policies for revenue recognition apply across the Group's business segments. The following table shows the link between the accounting policies for revenue recognition and segment information.
Accounting policies Segments classified by type of activity
3.7.1 Revenue on sale of land Sale of land
3.7.2 Revenue from agreements for construction of real estate Real estate and construction
3.7.3 Construction revenue Real estate and construction
3.7.4 Revenue from the rendering of services
Hotels
Destination management
Other operations
3.7.5 Dividend and interest income Other operations
3.7.6 Rental income Other operations
3.7.1 Revenue on sale of land Revenue from sale of land, sale of land right and associated cost are recognised when land is delivered and the significant risks, rewards of ownership and control have been transferred to the buyer, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Management uses its judgment and considers the opinion obtained from the legal advisors in assessing whether the Group’s contractual and legal rights and obligations in the agreements are satisfied and the above criteria are met.

Non-‐controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity's net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-‐controlling interests' proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-‐by-‐transaction basis. Other types of non-‐controlling interests are measured at fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another IFRS.
When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-‐date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-‐measured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is re-‐measured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with IFRS 9 (or where applicable IAS 39 or IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.
When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-‐measured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date when the Group obtains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.
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 recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that date.
Business combinations that took place prior to 1 January 2010 were accounted for in accordance with the previous version of IFRS 3.The policy described above is applied to all business combinations that took place on or after January 2010.
For common control transactions in which all of the combining entities or businesses ultimately are controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the combination, and that control is not transitory, the Group recognises the difference between purchase consideration and carrying amount of net assets of acquired entities or businesses as an adjustment to equity. This accounting treatment is also applied to later acquisitions of some or all shares of the non-‐controlling interests in a subsidiary.
3.5 Investments in associates An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
The results, assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-‐current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.
Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. When the Group's share of losses of an associate exceeds the Group's interest in that associate (which includes any long-‐term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of an associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The requirements of IAS 39 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in an associate. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with IAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

3.8 Leasing Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease substantially transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
3.8.1 The Group as lessor Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised as receivables at the amount of the Group's net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Group's net investment outstanding in respect of the leases.
Rental income from operating leases is recognized 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 recognized on a straight-‐line basis over the lease term.
3.8.2 The Group as lessee Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Group’s general policy on borrowing costs (see 3.10 below). Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
If a sale and leaseback transaction results in a finance lease, the asset is recognized at its previous carrying amount and any gain/loss recognized over the lease term. In case of a loss, management assesses whether the asset is impaired.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-‐line basis over the lease term, except when another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-‐line basis, except when another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
3.9 Foreign currencies The individual financial statements of each subsidiary are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each subsidiary are translated into Swiss Franc (CHF), which is the Group’s presentation currency.
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) 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 on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:
– Exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings;
– Exchange differences on monetary items that qualify as hedging instruments in transactions entered into to hedge certain foreign currency risks (see 3.22.1 below for hedging accounting policies); and
– Exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on repayment of the monetary items.
For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into Swiss Francs (CHF) using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the Group’s foreign currency reserve, a separate component in equity (attributed to non-‐controlling interests as appropriate).
On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange differences accumulated in other comprehensive income in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Parent are reclassified to profit or loss.

3.7.2 Revenue from agreements for construction of real estate Management uses its judgment to analyze the Group's agreements for the construction of real estate and any related agreements to conclude whether or not the contractual terms of such agreements indicate that they are, in substance, for the provision of construction services or for the delivery of goods that are not complete at the time of entering into the agreement. Such conclusion depends on the terms of the agreement and all the surrounding facts and circumstances and on whether such an agreement meets the definition of a construction contract, as described in 3.7.3 below.
In accordance with IFRIC 15, an agreement for the construction of real estate will meet the definition of a construction contract when the buyer is able to specify the major structural elements of the design of the real estate before construction begins and / or specify major structural changes once construction is in progress, whether it exercises that ability or not. Where such conditions are met, revenue and costs associated with such contracts are accounted for in accordance with IAS 11 Construction Contracts (see 3.7.3).
Where an agreement for the construction of real estate does not meet the definition of a construction contract and is not for the rendering of services, then it is accounted for as a sale of goods under the scope of IAS 18 Revenue. Management concluded that all contracts entered into for the construction of real estate meet the revenue recognition criteria for the sale of goods.
Accordingly, revenue from the sale of real estate is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied: the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the real estate, the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the real estate sold, the amount of revenue and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity.
3.7.3 Construction revenue A construction contract is a contract specifically negotiated for the construction of an asset or a combination of assets that are closely interrelated or interdependent in term of their design, technology and function or their ultimate purpose or use.
Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period measured based on the completion of a physical proportion of the contract work. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that they have been agreed with the customer, their amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable.
Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that is probable to be recovered. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
When contract costs incurred to date plus recognized profits less recognized losses exceed progress billings, the surplus is shown as amounts due from customers for contract work. For contracts where progress billings exceed contract costs incurred to date plus recognized profits less recognized losses, the surplus is shown as amounts due to customers for contract work. Amounts received before the related work is performed are included in the consolidated statement of financial position, as a liability, as advances received. Amounts billed for work performed but not yet paid by the customer are included in the consolidated statement of financial position under trade and other receivables.
Construction contract revenue comprises revenue arising from finishing of sold units, extra works requested by customers and any construction agreement with third parties.
3.7.4 Revenue from the rendering of services Revenue from services is recognised in the accounting periods in which the services are rendered.
3.7.5 Dividend and interest income Dividend income from investments other than in associates is recognised when the shareholder’s 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.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income 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 original recognition.
3.7.6 Rental income The Group’s policy for recognition of revenue from operating leases is described in 3.8.1.
3.7.7 Cost of sales Cost of sales comprises costs related directly to the sale of goods or rendering of services. These costs include also administration expenses of revenue generating entities in the Group. Under administration expenses are costs allocated for corporate and head quarter functions as well as non revenue generating entities, such as corporate companies, holding companies and start up companies. Companies providing these services are marked as HQ in the subsidiaries' list in note 18.

Government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-‐current assets are recognised as deferred revenue in the consolidated statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.
The benefit of a government loan granted at below-‐market interest rates of interest is treated as a government grant and measured as the difference between proceeds received and the fair value of the loan based on prevailing market interest rates.
3.12 Retirement benefit costs Employee pension and retirement benefits are based on the regulations and prevailing circumstances of those countries in which the Group is represented. In Switzerland, ordinary pension and retirement benefit plans qualify as defined-‐benefit plans and are accounted for in conformity with IAS 19 Employee Benefits.
For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each reporting period. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately through other comprehensive income, whereas past service-‐costs (vested and unvested) are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation reduced by the fair value of plan assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plan.
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contribution.
3.13 Taxation Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
3.13.1 Current tax The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
3.13.2 Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and are accounted for using the Balance Sheet Liability Method.
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 utilized.
Such deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill and no deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised for temporary differences resulting 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 utilize 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.
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.
F-‐19
In the case of a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-‐attributed to non-‐controlling interests and are not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. reductions in the Group's ownership interest in associates that do not result in the Group losing significant influence), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments on identifiable assets and liabilities acquired arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognised in equity.

3.10 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until such time, as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
The following principles apply when borrowing costs are partly or fully capitalized by the Group as part of a qualifying asset:
– Where hedge accounting is not applied to minimize the interest rate risk on borrowings used to fund that asset and, therefore derivatives are classified as at fair value through profit or loss, all gains / losses on non-‐hedging derivatives are immediately recognized in profit or loss.
– Where variable rate borrowings are used to finance a qualifying asset and a derivative is designated to cash flow hedge the variability in interest rates on such borrowings, any gain or loss on the hedging derivative that is effective and, therefore previously recognized in other comprehensive income, is reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the hedged risk impacts profit or loss. The hedged interest component of the qualifying asset (hedged risk) impacts profit or loss when the qualifying asset is amortized, impaired or sold.
– Where fixed rate borrowings are used to finance a qualifying asset and a derivative is designated to hedge the fair value exposure to changes in interest rates of such borrowings, the synthetic floating interest rate that is achieved as a result of a highly effective hedge is capitalized, so that borrowing costs always reflect the hedged interest rate. The amount of borrowing costs capitalized in such a case comprises the actual fixed rate on the borrowings plus the effect of swapping this fixed rate into floating rates.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
As the financing activity is co-‐ordinated centrally and generally by the parent and some of the main subsidiaries, the group determines the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on that asset. The group includes all borrowings of the parent and its subsidiaries when computing the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings that are outstanding during the period other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset.
The amount of borrowing costs that an entity capitalises during the period shall not exceed the amount of borrowing costs it incurred during that period, provided that the carrying amount of the qualifying asset on which eligible borrowing costs have been capitalized does not exceed its recoverable amount (being the higher of fair value less costs to sell or amount in use for that asset).
3.11 Government grants Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are received.

F-‐22
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-‐tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
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 (or cash-‐generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or 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 recognised for the asset (or cash-‐generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
3.17 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Costs, including an appropriate portion of fixed and variable production overheads as well as other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, are assigned to inventories by the method most appropriate to the particular class of inventory, with the majority being valued on a weighted average basis. For items acquired on credit and where payment terms of the transaction are extended beyond normal credit terms, the cost of that item is its cash price equivalent at the recognition date with any difference from that price being treated as an interest expense on an effective-‐yield basis (see note 11).
Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
Estimates of net realisable value are generally made on an item-‐by-‐item basis, except in circumstances, where it is more appropriate to group items of similar or related inventories.
The net realizable value of an item of inventory may fall below its cost for many reasons including, damage, obsolescence, slow moving items, a decline in selling prices, or an increase in the estimate of costs to complete and costs necessary to make the sale. In such cases, the cost of that item is written-‐down to its net realizable value and the difference is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Properties intended for sale in the ordinary course of business or in the process of construction or development for such a sale are included in inventories. These are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of development properties includes the cost of land and other related expenditure attributable to the construction or development during the period in which activities are in progress that are necessary to get the properties ready for its intended sale.
3.18 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 the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised 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).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset, if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
3.19 Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a Group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
3.20 Financial assets All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the timeframe established by regulation or convention in the market place.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
F-‐21
3.13.3 Current and deferred tax for the year Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised 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.
3.14 Property, plant and equipment Buildings, plant and equipment, furniture and fixtures held for use in the production, supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Properties in the course of construction for production, administrative purposes or for a currently undetermined future use are carried at cost less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy as described in note 3.10. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Depreciation of buildings, plant and equipment as well as furniture and fixtures commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-‐line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. However, when there is no reasonable certainty that ownership of the leased asset will be obtained by the end of the lease term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised 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 net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:
Buildings 20 – 50 years
Plant and equipment 4 – 25 years
Furniture and fixtures 3 – 20 years
3.15 Investment property Investment properties are properties (land or a building – or part of a building – or both) held by the Group entities to earn rentals and / or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes). Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognised in profit or loss including an adjustment to the related deferred tax position in the period in which they arise.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of investment properties reflects market conditions at the end of each reporting period and is determined without any deduction for transaction costs which the Group may incur on sale or other disposal. The fair value of investment properties is determined based on evaluations performed by independent valuators.
An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-‐recognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.
3.16 Impairment of tangible assets At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-‐generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-‐generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-‐generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

3.20.5 Impairment of financial assets Financial assets that are measured at amortised cost are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period.
Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial assets, the estimated future cash flows of the asset have been affected.
Objective evidence of impairment could include:
– significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
– breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
– it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-‐organisation; or
– the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group's past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of 60 days, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
The amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows reflecting the amount of collateral and guarantee, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
3.20.6 De-‐recognition of financial assets The Group derecognises a financial asset only 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 entity.
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 measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
On derecognition of a financial asset that is classified as FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is reclassified to retained earnings.
3.21 Financial liabilities and equity instruments 3.21.1 Classification as debt or equity Debt and equity instruments issued by a Group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
F-‐23
3.20.1 Classification of financial assets Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost less impairment loss (except for debt investments that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
– the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
– the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.
3.20.2 Effective interest method The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees or points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments measured subsequently at amortised cost. Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the “investment income” line item.
3.20.3 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) On initial recognition, the Group can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-‐by-‐instrument basis) to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading.
A financial asset is 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 evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-‐term profit-‐taking; or
– it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument or a financial guarantee.
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the investments.
The Group has designated all investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading as at FVTOCI on initial application of IFRS 9.
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established in accordance with IAS 18 Revenue. Dividends earned are recognised in profit or loss and are included in the ‘investment income’ line item.
3.20.4 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL, unless the Group designates an investment that is not held for trading as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) on initial recognition.
Debt instruments that do not meet the amortised cost are measured at FVTPL. In addition, debt instruments that meet the amortised cost criteria but are designated as at FVTPL are measured at FVTPL. A debt instrument may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases. The Group has not designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.
Debt instruments are reclassified from amortised cost to FVTPL when the business model is changed such that the amortised cost criteria are no longer met. Reclassification of debt instruments that are designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition is not allowed.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss is included in the 'other gains and losses' line item in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Fair value is determined in the manner described in note 38.12.
Interest income on debt instruments as at FVTPL is included in the net gain or loss described above.
Dividend income on investments in equity instruments at FVTPL is recognised in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive the dividends is established in accordance with IAS 18 Revenue and is included in the net gain or loss as described above.

However, for non-‐held-‐for-‐trading financial liabilities that are designated as at FVTPL, 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 recognised 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. The remaining amount of change in the fair value of liability is recognised in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk that are recognised in other comprehensive income are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.
Financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not held-‐for-‐trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortised cost are determined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalised as part of costs of an asset is included in the 'finance costs' line item.
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, including any non-‐cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
3.22 Derivative financial instruments
If required, the Group enters into derivative financial instruments mainly to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently re-‐measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.
A derivative with a positive fair value is recognized as a financial asset; a derivative with a negative fair value is recognized as a financial liability.
A derivative that has a remaining maturity of less than twelve months from the end of the reporting period or has a remaining maturity greater than twelve months but is expected to be settled within twelve months is presented as current asset or liability.
A derivative that is designated and effective in a hedging relationship with a non-‐current hedged item is presented as a non-‐current asset or liability in accordance with the presentation of the hedged item.
A derivative that has a maturity of more than twelve months from the end of the reporting period and is not intended to be settled within twelve months is presented as a non-‐current asset or liability, even if that derivative is not part of a designated and effective hedge accounting.
3.22.1 Hedge accounting The Group generally designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in respect of foreign currency risk or interest rate risk. Hedges of foreign currency risk on firm commitments, hedges of net investments in foreign operations as well as hedges of the variability risk of interest rates are all accounted for by the Group as cash flow hedges.
At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument, in a hedging relationship, is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.
3.22.2 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 and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve. 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 hedged forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-‐financial asset or a non-‐financial liability, the gains and losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income and 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, the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income and 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.
F-‐25
3.21.2 Equity instruments An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.
The instrument is an equity instrument if, and only if, both conditions (a) and (b) below are met:
a) The instrument includes no contractual obligation:
i. to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; or
ii. to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the issuer.
b) If the instrument will or may be settled in the issuer’s own equity instruments, it is:
i. a non-‐derivative that includes no contractual obligation for the issuer to deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments; or
ii. a derivative that will be settled only by the issuer exchanging a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of its own equity instruments.
A contract that will be settled by the Group entity receiving or delivering a fixed number of its own equity instruments in exchange for a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset is an equity instrument.
Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
3.21.3 Financial liabilities All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.
A financial liability is classified as current liability when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
-‐ It is expected to be settled in the entity’s normal operating cycle
-‐ It is held primarily for the purposes of trading;
-‐ It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period;
-‐ The entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other financial liabilities are classified as non-‐current.
However, financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies, financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group, and commitments issued by the Group to provide a loan at below-‐market interest rate are measured in accordance with the specific accounting policies set out below.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
– it has been acquired principally for the purpose of reselling 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, except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument.
A financial liability other than a financial liability 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 liability 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 the entire combined contract is designated as at FVTPL in accordance with IFRS 9.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value. Any gains or losses arising on remeasurement of held-‐for-‐trading financial liabilities are recognised in profit or loss. Such gains or losses that are recognised in profit or loss incorporate any interest paid on the financial liabilities and are included in the ‘other gains and losses’ line item in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

In light of the political development in Egypt, management reconsidered the recoverability of the Group's significant items of property, plant and equipment and its investments in associates, which are included in the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2015 at CHF 940,356,468 and CHF 100,678,830 respectively (31 December 2014: CHF 886,759,617 and CHF 111,534,902).
In 2015, the impairment reviews resulted in total impairment losses of CHF 9.1 million on property under construction of development projects. The impairment reviews in 2015 and 2014 did not result in any other impairment losses of property, plant and equipment or investments in associates.
In 2014, the impairment review of the Eco Bos project in the UK resulted in a partial reversal of the previous year impairment of capitalized planning costs of CHF 4.1 million as significant progress has been made in relation to planning permissions with government.
Management is aware that the slow-‐down in processes and logistics still impacts the business operations considerably. Therefore, they periodically reconsider their assumptions in light of the macroeconomic developments regarding future anticipated margins on their products. Detailed sensitivity analysis has been carried out and management is confident that the carrying amount of these assets will be recovered in full, even if returns are reduced. This situation will be closely monitored, and adjustments made in future periods if future market activity indicates that such adjustments are appropriate.
4.2.2 Valuation of financial assets at FVTOCI Basically the fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI is based on stock quotes. However, due to extraordinary situations, as for example the political situation in Egypt, such market prices might not reflect the real value at all times. In such cases alternative valuation methods are used to determine the fair value.
4.2.3 Useful lives of property, plant and equipment The carrying value of the Group's property, plant and equipment at the end of the current reporting period is CHF 940,356,468 (31 December 2014: CHF 886,759,617). Management’s assessment of the useful life of property, plant and equipment is based on the expected use of the assets, the expected physical wear and tear on the assets, technological developments as well as past experience with comparable assets. A change in the useful life of any asset may have an effect on the amount of depreciation that is to be recognized in profit or loss for future periods.
4.2.4 Impairment of goodwill Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-‐generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-‐generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.
The carrying amount of goodwill at the end of the current reporting period is CHF 6,476,682 (31 December 2014: 7,109,426). The recoverability of goodwill is tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or earlier, if an indication of impairment exists. The value of goodwill is primarily dependent upon projected cash flows, discount rates (WACC) and long-‐term growth rates. The significant assumptions are disclosed in note 17. As at 31 December 2015 the annual impairment test showed no impairment loss (2014: none). Changes to the assumptions may result in further impairment losses in subsequent periods.
4.2.5 Provisions The carrying amount of provisions at the end of the current reporting period is CHF 82,521,775 (31 December 2014: CHF 83,456,576). This amount is based on estimates of future costs for infrastructure completion, legal cases, government fees, employee benefits and other charges including taxes in connection with the Group’s operations (see note 33). As the provisions cannot be determined exactly, the amount could change based on future developments. Changes in the amount of provisions due to change in management estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis and recognized in the period in which the change in estimates arises.
4.2.6 Impairment of trade and other receivables as well as other current assets An allowance for doubtful receivables is recognized in order to record foreseeable losses arising from events such as a customer’s insolvency. The carrying amount of the allowance for trade and other receivables at the end of the current reporting period is CHF 20,959,808 (31 December 2014: CHF 29,911,892) (see note 23). In determining the amount of the allowance, several factors are considered. These include the aging of accounts receivables balances, the current solvency of the customer and the historical write-‐off experience.
A similar assessment has been done in relation to the recoverability of other current assets amounted to CHF 99,502,308 (2014: CHF 110,133,046) which includes amounts due from Falcon (see note 40), amounts due from employees and management (see note 25) as well as outstanding proceeds from the sale of the six percent stake in the former Garranah subsidiaries. To determine the need for the recognition of any impairment charge, management considered several factors, such as the contractual repayment date, current solvency of the counterparty and historical write-‐off experience. In 2015 and 2014 there were no impairment losses within other current assets.
F-‐27
4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
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.
4.1 Critical judgments in applying accounting policies The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations (see note 4.2), that management has made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
4.1.1 Revenue recognition – Real estate sales The operating cycle of residential construction projects predominantly starts when the Group enters into agreements to sell the real estate units off-‐plan. The Group treats the sale of real estate units as sale of goods in accordance with IAS 18 Revenue and IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estates. Management takes the view that the critical event of revenue recognition hinges on the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership and control to the buyer. When management makes this assessment it ensures that the detailed criteria for revenue recognition from the sale of goods as set out in IAS 18 and IFRIC 15 -‐ including the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership and control to the buyer -‐ are satisfied and that recognition of revenue from the sale of real estate is appropriate in the current reporting period.
Given the structure of the real estate sale contracts and the application of IAS 18 and IFRIC 15 as described above, revenue recognition from residential construction projects can occur in independent stages which consist of the sale of land, constructed, but unfinished units and finished units. The transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership and control of each stage is documented in an official delivery protocol and signed by representatives of the Group as well as the buyer.
4.1.2 Government grants Acquisition by the Group entities of part of the land used in the construction of their real estate projects from governments of the local jurisdictions in which they carry out their activities has not brought these transactions under the scope of IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance and, therefore, has not resulted in the recognition of government grants in the current or in prior periods.
In these cases the government is the only possible seller in the market and the Group purchases the land at market prices available to all interested parties and does not obtain finance facilities from the government which would require accounting for government grants.
4.1.3 Employee benefits expense Employee benefits expense which are directly related to the sale of goods or rendering of services form part of the operation’s cost of sales. Where employee benefit expense is incurred to perform head quarter functions or relate to non-‐revenue generating entities, such as corporate companies, holding companies and start up companies, they are allocated to administration expenses.
4.1.4 Deferred taxation on investment property For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets arising from investment properties management concluded that the Group’s investment properties are held under a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment properties over time, rather than through sales. Therefore, in determining the Group’s deferred taxation on investment properties, management has determined that the presumption that the carrying amounts of investment properties measured using the fair value model are recovered entirely through sale is rebutted. As a result, the Group has recognised deferred taxes on changes in fair value of investment properties.
4.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty The following are the key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
4.2.1 Impairment of tangible assets and investments in associates At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets and investments in associates to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss.
If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-‐generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-‐generating units, or otherwise, they are allocated to the smallest Group of cash-‐generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Except for the disposal of 15% of OHD in 2015 (for further details see note 30) and the disposal of Golden Beach for Hotels Company in Jordan (for further details see note 35) as well as the disposal of CMAR and the deemed loss of control over OHC in 2014 (for further details see note 35 and 36) there have been no major changes in the group structure in 2015 and 2014.
Orascom Hotels & Development SAE (“OHD”) remains the principal operating subsidiary and is located in Egypt.
The group controls its subsidiaries directly and indirectly.
6 REVENUE An analysis of the Group’s revenue for the year is as follows:
CHF 2015 2014
Revenue from the rendering of services and rental income 172,082,609 163,941,158

TOTAL 306,064,168 250,534,965
7 SEGMENT INFORMATION
7.1 Products and services from which reportable segments derive their revenues The Group has four reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group’s strategic divisions. The strategic divisions offer different products and services and are managed separately because they require different skills or have different customers. For each of the strategic divisions, the Country CEOs and the Head of Segments review the internal management reports at least on a quarterly basis. The following summary describes the operation in each of the Group’s reportable segments:
– Hotels – Include provision of hospitality services in two to five star hotels owned by the Group which are managed by international or local hotel chains or by the Group itself.
– Real estate and construction – Include acquisition of land in undeveloped areas and addition of substantial value by building residential real estate and other facilities in stages.
– Land sales – Include sale of land and land rights to third parties on which the Group have developed or will develop certain infrastructure facilities and where the Group does not have further development commitments.
– Destination management – Include provision of facility and infrastructure services at operational resorts and towns.
The real estate and construction segment includes two lines of business each of which is considered as a separate operating segment. For financial statements presentation purposes, these individual operating segments have been aggregated into a single operating segment taking into account the following factors:
– These operating segments have similar long-‐term gross profit margins;
– The nature of the products and production processes are similar.
Other operations include the provision of services from businesses not allocated to any of the segments listed above comprising rentals from investment properties, mortgages, sports, hospital services, educational services, marina, limousine rentals, laundry services and other services. None of these segments meets any of the quantitative thresholds for determining a reportable segment in 2015 or 2014.
F-‐29
4.2.7 Deferred income taxes The measurement of deferred income tax assets and liabilities is based on the judgment of management. Deferred income tax assets are only capitalized if it is probable that they can be used. Whether or not they can be used depends on whether the deductible tax temporary difference can be offset against future taxable gains. In order to assess the probability of their future use, estimates must be made of various factors including future taxable profits. At 31 December 2015 deferred income tax assets amounted to CHF 12,693,483 (31 December 2014: CHF 16,024,544) that have mainly resulted from the tax impact of carry forward tax losses (see note 13). Such deferred tax assets are only recorded when the development phase of the project has been started and it becomes evident that future taxable profits are probable. If the actual values differ from the estimates, this can lead to a change in the assessment of recoverability of the deferred tax assets and accounting for such a change, if any, is to be made on a prospective basis in the reporting periods affected by the change. As at 31 December 2015, the reassessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets did not result in derecognised deferred tax assets (2014: none).
4.2.8 Retirement benefit obligations The retirement benefit obligation is calculated on the basis of various financial and actuarial assumptions. The key assumptions for assessing these obligations are the discount rate, future salary and pension increases and the probability of the employee reaching retirement. The obligation was calculated using a discount rate of 0.90% (31 December 2014: 1.60%) as well as future salary increases of 1.00% (31 December 2014: 1.00%). The calculations were done by an external expert and the principal assumptions used are summarised in note 37. At 31 December 2015, the underfunding amounted to CHF 623,793 (31 December 2014: CHF 244,583). Using other basis for the calculations could have led to different results.
4.2.9 Classification and valuation of investment property Generally real estate units are constructed either for the Group’s own use or for the sale to third parties and carried at cost. However, when a unit may not be sold, as soon as a long term rent contract over more than 1 year is agreed with a third party at market conditions, the unit is classified as an investment property and measured at the fair value obtained from independent, third party valuation experts. The fair value of investment properties at 31 December 2015 is CHF 10,981,552 (2014: CHF 11,922,802).
The fair values at 31 December 2015 were determined based on an internal valuation model. The last external valuations were prepared as at 31 December 2012 by Fincorp, an accredited valuation specialist in Egypt. Note 16 provides detailed information about the valuation techniques applied and the key assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of each investment property.
4.2.10 Net realisable value of inventory Inventory mainly includes real estate construction work under progress which is recognised at cost or net realisable value. The majority of real estate under construction (approximately three quarters) is already sold at market prices which are significantly higher than construction cost. Therefore the estimation uncertainty only relates to the unsold real estate under construction. In general the profit margins on these real estate projects are high and management currently does not expect any of these projects to be sold below cost except for the following:
– In 2015 none of the inventory was impaired. In 2014, an impairment of CHF 1.1 was made in relation to Omani land.
4.2.11 Infrastructure cost The Group has an obligation under the terms of its sale and purchase agreements to develop the infrastructure of the sold land. Infrastructure cost is deemed to form part of the cost of revenue and is based on management estimate of the future budgeted costs to be incurred in relation to the project including, but are not limited to, future subcontractor costs, estimated labour costs, and planned other material costs. The provision for infrastructure costs requires the Group’s management to revise its estimate of such costs on a regular basis in light of current market prices for inclusion as part of the cost of revenue.
4.2.12 Liquidity shortages and related uncertainties For further details on management’s plans to manage liquidity shortages and related uncertainty please refer to note 26.1.
4.2.13 Minimum building obligations One part of the Group’s business is to acquire land for the development of tourism projects. Out of these business opportunities often no legally binding commitments incur however the Group has unbinding business opportunity commitments in relation to their projects. These contingent liabilities are further explained in note 43.1. Due to the complexity of the projects and the ongoing negotiations, estimation of the contingent liability involves a high degree of uncertainty.

7.4 Geographical information The Group currently operates in eight principal geographical areas – Egypt, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Switzerland, UK, Montenegro and Morocco. The Group's revenue from continuing operations from external customers by location of operations and information about its non-‐current assets by location of assets are detailed below:
Revenue Non-‐current assets
CHF 2015 2014 2015 2014
Egypt 220,055,941 179,478,312 456,477,589 514,052,863

TOTAL 306,064,168 250,534,965 957,814,702 905,791,845
The revenue realized from a single client did not exceed the rate of 10% or more of the total Group’s revenue during 2014 while for 2015 the revenues of only one client reached 14% of the total group revenue.
Non-‐current assets exclude investments in associates, financial instruments and deferred tax assets.
7.5 Additional information on segment results The aftermath of the Arab Spring continues to affect the Group’s performance in 2015 as the political uncertainty and the after-‐effects of the extraordinary events that took place in Egypt and other countries in the Middle East have had a significant impact on the general business environment in these countries. The slow-‐down in processes and logistics still impacts the business operations considerably. However, during 2015 we saw an increase in business activity which is also reflected in the segment results.
Total segment result of CHF 71.6 million (2014: CHF 50.7 million) mainly increased due to the following:
-‐ There was a significant decrease in the real estate and construction segment revenue as prior year period includes revenue from budget housing which has been deconsolidated in 2014. However, the ultimate increase seen in the result of this segment was due to the impact of non-‐budget housing units delivered in 2015 whose profit margins are tangibly higher compared to those of the budget housing units that were delivered in 2014.
-‐ In the year 2015, the Hotels’ segment achieved a total revenue of CHF 124.2 million growing from CHF 118.9 million in 2014. This performance boost (a 17% increase in TRevPAR as well as a 12% increase in GOPPAR) came as a result of the reviewed Hotel management structure, some Hotel management takeovers and the reassessment of travel bans on the Red Sea area. Starting November, post the Russian aircraft incident and the consequent airlift suspensions, Makadi Hotels started to confront a number of challenges.Also, Taba Heights continued to be the most challenged destination recording a total GOP loss of CHF 4.6 million.
In 2014 the segment result was positively impacted by CHF 2.8 million due to the waiver of the current account of Royal for Investment and Touristic Development with Garranah Family.
-‐ During 2014, a subsidiary of the Group entered into an agreement with a third-‐party investor to sub-‐develop of a real estate and touristic project in El Gouna with a total land area of 160,000 square meter which was later adjusted to 168,779 square meter. The first plot was recognised as revenue in 2014. In Q1 2015, the second plot containing 70,000 square meter was sold and recognised as revenue in the total amount of USD 24.1 million (CHF 23.7 million) and in Q2 2015, the third plot containing 66,779 square meter was sold and recognised as revenue in the total amount of USD 20.1 million (CHF 19.1 million) In Q3 2015, the Group entered into another agreement with a third-‐party investor with a total land area of 100,195 square meter which was sold and recognised as revenue in the total amount of USD 18.6 million (CHF 17.7 million).
-‐ In 2014, the amount under settlement with Falcon of CHF 9.9 million was realised through other operations (refer to note 40 for further details). No such one off amounts incurred in 2015 which explains the significant decrease in segment results for other operations.

For the purpose of monitoring segment performance and allocation of recourses between segments, all assets and liabilities are allocated to reportable segments except for the assets of holding companies or companies which are not yet operational. Goodwill is allocated to reportable segments as described in note 17.
It is the Group’s policy to reassess the classification of certain assets and liabilities within the reporting segments once a certain development stage of the destination is achieved. Accordingly during 2014, management transferred some of the assets and liabilities of the Omani development entities from real estate and construction segment to other operating segments and corporate segment according to the internal management reports provided to the country CEO and the head of segment based on the latest developments achieved in the business of this destination. In 2015 no such transfers were made.

TOTAL (33,596,120) (32,904,042)
(i) The amount of capitalization cost of qualifying assets (project under construction and work in progress) has decreased compared to prior year. This is mainly due to decreased activities in relation to the current hotel projects and real estate projects in Egypt and Oman, which are eligible for the capitalization of interest expense. This led to an increase in finance cost by CHF 1.0 million from CHF 32.9 million to CHF 33.9 million.
To enhance the liquidity of the Group, management negotiated with several banks in Egypt to capitalise the interest payments due within 2015 and up to the end of Q1 2016 instead of paying them on their scheduled due dates. This had no impact on finance expense recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, however reduced the finance cost paid shown in the cash flow statement.
The rate used by the Group to determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization is 7.84% per annum (2014: 8.09% per annum).

There is a compensation plan in place for the Board of Directors which consists of a fixed compensation subject to an annual review. As to the compensation of the members of Executive Management, the base salary is either (in case of members who have served in that capacity since the Company was formed in 2008) carried over from their previous employment with Orascom Hotels & Development SAE, or (in case of members appointed at a later time) determined in a discretionary decision of the CEO approved by the Nomination & Compensation Committee. In respect of the bonus part of the compensation, proposals by the CEO are presented to the Nomination & Compensation Committee which discusses such proposals and approves them if deemed fit.
The annual proposals and decisions concerning the compensation of the members of Executive Management are based on an evaluation of the individual performance of each member, as well as of the performance of the business area for which each member is responsible (in case of the executive members of the Board, the performance of the Orascom Development Group as a whole). The CEO forms the respective proposals in his discretion, based on his judgment of the relevant individuals' and business areas' achievements.
The disclosures required by the Swiss Code of Obligations on Board and Executive committee compensation are shown in the compensation report.
Total compensation of directors and Executive Management is part of the employees benefit expense allocated between cost of sales and administrative expenses (see note 8).

(i) In May 2014, Taba Heights, one of the major destinations of the Group in Egypt, faced storms and flooding which affected
part of the infrastructure, part of the golf course as well as some of the furniture and fixtures of the resort building. Even though management did not expect any losses as the assets were fully insured, certain assets in the total amount of CHF 7.2 million were impaired without recognizing a corresponding amount due from the insurance company as the contingent asset was not virtually certain at that time. During December 2014 a final settlement was reached with the insurance company for a total amount of CHF 16.5 million allocated between the property damages as described above and business interruption. Considering other cost involved in solving the case, this led to a net gain of CHF 9.2 million which represents mainly compensation for lost revenue due to business interruption as well as the difference between the historical cost and the estimated cost to recover the damaged assets.
(ii) Royal for Investments and Touristic Development (“Royal”), a group subsidiary, had a current account payable with Garranah Family of CHF 2.8 million. Pursuant to the mutual understandings and agreements between the parties, it has been agreed that Garranah Family waives their amounts due from Royal
(iii) In 2015, impairment losses on property under construction of CHF 9.1 million were recognised on development projects.
(iv) Includes reversal of provisions of CHF 4.6 million.

The average effective tax rate of 19.58% (2014: 20.96%) is the effective tax rate from countries in which the company generates taxable profit. The average effective tax rate mainly decreased due to the following:
In August 2015, the income tax rate in Egypt was changed to a unified rate of 22.5% instead of 25% which affected the income tax expense in 2015.
On June 4, 2014 the Egyptian President approved the Income Tax Law No. 44 of 2014 to add another bracket of the income tax of 5% for taxable profits exceeding 1 MEGP. This tax bracket will be temporarily imposed on natural and legal personalities for the three years 2014 to 2016 in accordance with the income tax law No 91 of 2005.The decree was published in the official gazette on the same date, and is effective from the next date of the publishing, which was June 30, 2014, when the Egyptian President approved the Income Tax Law No. 53 of 2014 to amend some of the Income Tax Law No 91 of 2005 and Stamp Tax Law No 111 of 1980.

13.5 Unrecognized deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets not recognized at the reporting date:
CHF 2015 2014
Tax losses in Parent Company (expiry in 2016) (i) 275,640,031 275,640,031
Tax losses in Parent Company (expiry 2018) (i) 846,695,821 846,695,821

Tax losses in Parent Company (expiry 2021) (i) 86,373,116 23,004,590
Temporary differences in subsidiaries (ii) 226,472,442 248,597,827
(i) At 31 December 2014 the Parent Company’s tax losses amounted to CHF 2,207,354,445 which mainly related to tax losses
caused by impairment charges recognized on investments as a consequence of the original restructuring of the Group. The historical cost value of these investments was the fair value of the investments on the occasion of the stock market listing in Switzerland.
The Parent Company incorporated in Switzerland is a holding company and enjoys a privileged taxation for dividend income from subsidiaries, as such income is tax exempted if certain criteria are met.
The Parent Company does not expect to have any substantial income streams other than tax exempted dividend income in the foreseeable future and therefore it is not probable that the unused tax losses can be utilized. As a consequence and unchanged to prior year, all of the tax losses accumulated in the Parent Company which amounted to CHF 2,270,722,971 at 31 December 2015 were treated as unrecognized deferred tax assets.
(ii) At 31 December 2015, the Group has not recognised deferred tax assets for gains recognized at the subsidiaries level on intercompany land sales which took place in 2010 in the amount of CHF 206,099,642 (31 December 2014: CHF 226,234,692). During 2015, the Group has not recognised any deferred tax asset on the sale transaction as the development of this land either has not yet been started or is still in the early stages of development and therefore it is not evident that future taxable profits are probable. The residual temporary differences are unrecognized tax losses in subsidiaries which expire in 2017.
14 EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings from continuing operations attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. As the company does not have any dilutive potential, the basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.
The earnings from continuing operations and weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:
CHF 2015 2014
EARNINGS (for basic and diluted earnings per share)
(Loss)/profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent (19,052,959) 41,871,676

17.1 Allocation of goodwill to cash-‐generating units Annual test for impairment
An impairment test of goodwill was performed by the Group in order to assess the recoverable amount of its goodwill. No impairment was recorded as a result of this test. All cash-‐generating units were tested for impairment using the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method in accordance with IFRS.
The Group’s business segments have been identified as cash–generating units. The DCF model utilized to evaluate the recoverable amounts of these units was based on a five year projection period. A further description of the assumptions used in the model is given in the following paragraphs.
The carrying amount of goodwill that has been allocated for impairment testing purposes is as follows:

Hotel companies * Hotels 6,476,682 7,109,426

Hotels
As already mentioned, Egypt has been on the brink of social and political turmoil in the past few years. While the Egyptian uprising has come with the promise of major political reform, it has led to the temporary disruption of economic activity. Looking beyond the current crisis, Egypt can benefit from maintaining its current momentum towards economic liberalization, privatization, and a more efficient government. This will improve Egypt’s economic position and help foster a sustained growth once the inevitable global economic upturn materializes. In light of the previously mentioned analysis, the impairment model has taken the current economic situation of Egypt into close consideration.
The recoverable amount of each cash-‐generating unit has been determined based on a value in use calculation which uses cash flow projections based on the financial budgets approved by management covering a ten-‐year period that consists of two phases. The first phase shows the evolving status of the hotel segment indicated by being back to the operating levels of the year 2010. And the second phase shows steady performance of the hotel operations. An average discount rate of 18.1% per annum (2014: 19.5% per annum) was used for the value in use calculation. The discount rate is based on a risk free post-‐tax interest rate of 12.3% (the pre-‐tax risk free rate used is 15.4%; applying the 20% Egyptian tax rate for sovereign bonds, the post-‐tax risk free rate of 12.3% resulted), a beta of 0.83 as well as a risk premium of 7.0%. For the terminal value calculation, a terminal growth rate of 3% was used.
Sensitivity analysis, where the average discount rate was increased by 4.5% and the growth rate reduced by 0.5%, which according to management is a reasonably possible change in key assumptions, did not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the cash-‐generating unit.
Furthermore, management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions (sensitivity analysis) on which the recoverable amount is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the cash-‐generating unit.

16 INVESTMENT PROPERTY The following table summarizes movements, which have occurred, during the current reporting period, on the carrying amount of investment property.

Foreign currency translation adjustment (1,059,353) 924,952
Balance at the end of the year 10,981,552 11,922,802
The fair values at 31 December 2015 were determined based on an internal valuation model performed by Group management. The last external valuations were prepared as at 31 December 2012 by Fincorp, an accredited valuation specialist in Egypt. In estimating the fair value of the investment properties, management considers the current use of the properties as their highest and best use.
The internal valuation model relies on the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method to determine the fair value of the investment property. The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) approach describes a method to value the investment property using the concepts of the time value of money. All future cash flows are estimated and discounted to give them a present value. This valuation method is in conformity with the International Valuation Standards. The same method was used for any previous external valuations. As investment property only consists of a few properties in Egypt, management has decided to use an internal valuation model due to efficiency and cost saving reasons.
For the valuation of the investment property which is situated in Egypt the model used cash flow projections based on financial budgets for the next five years and an average discount rate of 19.5% (cost of equity). For the terminal value a perpetual growth rate of 3% was used. In 2014 an average discount rate of 19.5% and a perpetual growth rate of 3% were used.
All of the Group’s investment property is held under freehold interests. The following table summarizes income and direct operating expenses from investment properties rented out to third parties.

The Group measures all its associates using the equity method of accounting as described in policy 3.5 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. None of the Group’s equity-‐method investments are listed on Stock Exchanges and, accordingly, they do not have quoted market prices. Management considers ASA, OHC and JPTD as the only associate that are material to the Group. The Group did not receive any dividends during the current year from its material investments (2014: none).
The Group has stopped recognizing its share of losses of its other immaterial associates. The Group’s unrecognized share of losses amounts to CHF 1,410,287 and CHF 1,578,416 both for the current year and cumulatively as of 31 December 2015.
(i) Andermatt Swiss Alps AG
On 25 June 2013 the Group lost control over Andermatt Swiss Alps AG (“ASA”) due to various capital increases in ASA in which the Group did not fully participate. With a remaining share of interest of 49% in ASA, the investment is classified as investment in associates.
The fair value of ASA on initial recognition as investment in associates is based on a third-‐party valuation which supported the transaction price paid by Mr. Samih Sawiris.
ASA is not subject to any restrictions on transferring funds to ODH whether resulting from regulatory requirements, borrowing arrangements or contractual arrangements between ASA and ODH.

(ii) In 2008, the finance leases between OHD and General Authority for Touristic and Development (“GATD”) in Egypt for development of land were terminated and replaced with purchase agreements with GATD. On May 2008, OHD signed a new purchase agreement with GATD to purchase a plot of land and paid a down payment of 27% and the remaining balance is payable in equal annual instalment commencing upon the expiry of the grace period of three years. In addition, OHD is required to pay an annual interest at the rate of 5% after the grace period with each instalment.
The value of land shown above is for those plots of land assigned for development and not yet sold by OHD.

TOTAL 61,414,053 88,642,373
(i) Trade and other receivables decreased by CHF 27.2 million due to reclassification into non-‐current receivables as well as foreign currency translation losses due to the strengthening of the Swiss Franc (note 28.6). The decrease was partly netted of by an increase due to increased operating activities. The average credit period on sales of real-‐estate is 5.5 years. No contractual interest is charged on trade receivables arising from the sale of real estate units. Interest is only charged in case of customers default. The Group has recognised an allowance for doubtful debts of 25% (2014: 22%) based on individual bad debts and allowances due to past due amounts. Allowances for doubtful debts are recognised against trade receivables based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to past default experience of the counterparty and an analysis of the counterparty's current financial position.

The Group has not built an allowance for impairment loss for the past due amounts reported below as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable (see note 38).

Since March 2011, ERC is involved in a dispute with the General Authority for Tourism and Development (“GATD”).
In line with the generally negative market environment, the share price of the Egyptian Resort Company, the Group’s most significant financial assets carried at FVTOCI, has decreased by 37% in 2015 after it witnessed significant gains in 2014. The decrease in the carrying value of Egyptian Resort Company shares held by the Group amounts to CHF 3.0 million of which CHF 2.9 million are recorded in net losses on financial assets at FVTOCI within other comprehensive income. The residual CHF 0.1 million are foreign currency exchange losses which are also shown within other comprehensive income.
(ii) Falcon Company for hotels
Based on the settlement with Falcon for Hotels S.A.E., which is further described in note 40, the investment with a fair value of CHF 17.8 million has been derecognised in the second quarter of 2014. Any gains from this settlement are shown within the statement of comprehensive income as other gains and losses (note 10).

(i) This amount includes real estate construction work under progress. The real estate units are sold off plan. Part of the cost of
the development projects in Oman were defined as being infrastructure cost (i.e. public infrastructure, marina and golf course). Due to this change in future use, inventory of CHF 90.8 million were reclassified from inventory to property, plant and equipment as property under construction (note 15). The other main reasons for the decrease in inventory compared to 31 December 2014 are recognised revenue in Montenegro and foreign currency exchange losses due to the strengthening of the Swiss Franc. For further details on the net realisable value of construction work in progress refer to note 4.2.10.

February 2006 authorizing the company to issue 2 million shares at par to be used to allocate to employees and management team (see note 40). All of these shares were swapped at a rate of 1:10 for ODH shares in 2008. On one side payment of the share price was deferred and payback period was extended each year, on the other side employees and management were instructed not to sell their unpaid shares. Due to the fact that the share price decreased substantially since the allocation of the shares, provisions against these receivables were recognized in 2011 and 2012. In March 2013, the terms and conditions of the final settlement were ultimately determined by the Board of Directors based on the share price as at 31 December 2012. This resulted in a residual amount of CHF 303,283 (2014: 1,831,250) which is due from employees and management team including executive board members and a residual provision of CHF 303,283 (2014: CHF 1,068,750). All other amounts due were netted off.
26 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For the purposes of the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and balances at banks. Cash equivalents are short-‐term, highly liquid investments of maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date, that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Cash and cash equivalents at year end as shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows can be reconciled to the related items in the consolidated statement of financial position as follows:

26.1 Management’s plans to manage liquidity shortages and related uncertainty Following the political turmoil in Egypt and other Arab countries the market segments where the group operates became severely affected. The Group’s real estate and hotel operations in Egypt initially suffered significantly. Oman destinations have been facing a reduction in tourism and real estate revenues due to secondary impact of the Arab spring and the slowdown of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) economies; a trend that is now improving in the GCC countries. Accordingly, the operating cash flows of the group have significantly decreased in the last four years. Starting 2014, key indicators in the Group have started to show initial signs of slow recovery.
The current cash flows from normal operations are not, on their own, sufficient to finance the current operational costs, the capital expenditures commitment as well as the other planned but not committed investments in the Group’s destinations in addition to the debt repayment obligations.
Although there is certain flexibility in the timing of capital expenditures and management believes that debt repayment may be re-‐negotiated, there is a need to generate extra liquidity in addition to the operational cash flows.
The actions taken by the group so far towards managing this situation are as follows:
Commitment from Chairman
In April 2015 Mr. Samih Sawiris signed a letter of commitment in favour of the Group to avail up to CHF 50 million until the end of May 2016. Of the committed amount CHF 38.6 million were drawn-‐down by the Group until end of December 2015. Further, in April 2016 the Chairman renewed his commitment letter vowing to avail up to CHF 40 million until 31 May 2017 should the Group require it.
Monetization plan, financing and loans
Management has started monetization initiatives in 2012 to sell certain assets and implement other actions to generate cash. This has and will continue to free up cash to be injected into the business of the group. In 2015, management realized approximately CHF 60 million from relisting 15% of OHD’s equity on the Egyptian Stock Exchange (note 30). Also towards the end of 2015, ODH successfully completed a capital increase through the capitalization of CHF 84.2 million due to the Chairman and a cash injection of CHF 49.6 million (note 27.1).
Moreover, OHD – the largest subsidiary of ODH – has agreed in principal with all its short term lenders to reschedule its short term bank debt into an 8-‐year medium term loan with a 2-‐year grace period on principal repayments. The company is currently working with the medium-‐term lenders to extend the tenors of their loans by 7 years door to door with a corresponding 2-‐year grace period on principal repayments.
Management is continuously looking for local partner to inject funds into new projects in Oman and Montenegro. Further, management is considering to propose new financing structures on ODH level, including new debt, equity or structured equity instruments.
However, should the action steps under the monetization plan not be sufficient to fund the Group’s operations, then the group intends to postpone certain planned capital expenditure investments that are discretionary; such postponement of these projects will result in shifting their related revenues forward to the future until they are completed.

From an operational perspective management is still working on several cost saving initiatives that should generate further savings in overhead expenses, direct expenses and interest expenses. These initiatives target enhancing the performance of the group in certain segments where we believe that there is room for enhancement.
Management believes that these plans are sufficient to substantially mitigate the liquidity risk.
Given that there is a certain degree of uncertainty in major countries where the Group operates, namely Egypt and Oman, the loan from our Chairman as noted above is extended to support the company in the coming few months should such uncertainties prevail. However management keeps monitoring the events as they unfold in case further immediate action is required.

Balance at end of year (98,692,949) (121,749,573)
The reserve from common control transactions mainly relates to the restructuring of the group and the set up of a new holding company during May 2008. This new structure became effective by way of a share exchange between the shareholders of the initial holding company (OHD) and the new holding company (ODH). Following this acquisition through exchange of equity instruments, ODH became the parent of OHD with an ownership stake of 98.05%, later increased to 98.16% at 31 December 2008.
Whereas the new holding company (ODH) is ultimately owned and controlled by the same major shareholders, management decided that this Group reorganisation was for the purpose of capital restructuring and it has been accounted for as a continuation of the financial statements of the initial holding Group (OHD) in the 2008 consolidated financial statements
Management concluded that the above Group restructure is classified as a transaction under common control since the combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same parties both before and after the combination and that control is not transitory.
However, since IFRS 3 Business Combinations excludes from its scope business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control (common control transactions), IAS 8 requires management to develop and apply an accounting policy that results in information that is relevant and reliable.
Management used its judgment in developing and applying an accounting policy for common control transactions arising from the Group’s capital restructuring as follows:
− Recognition of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the initial holding Group (OHD) at their previous carrying amounts;
− Recognition of the difference between purchase consideration and the previous carrying amount of net assets acquired as an adjustment to equity;
− Transaction costs, which were incurred in relation to the issuance of ODH shares, have been recognised as a reduction to the reserve from common control transaction. Amount included in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

The consolidated statement of changes in equity includes a balance of CHF (2.1) million outstanding at 31 December 2015 which has originally arisen from the Group’s sale of the six percent stake in Garranah companies to the Garranah family during 2010. The unsettled consideration at 31 December 2012 amounted to CHF 10.6 million of which CHF 10.2 million were reported as a negative component in equity. The remaining balance arising from such sale of CHF 0.4 million was classified as trade and other receivables. On 12 November 2013, the Garranah family has settled part of the outstanding consideration by transferring 124,441 ODH shares. This led to a corresponding transfer of CHF 8.1 million from this reserve to treasury shares (note 28.2). The residual amount as at 31 December 2015 is due to EDRs which are held in an escrow account and remained unchanged since 31 December 2014.

On 3 December 2010, the Parent Company borrowed 1,286,353 ODH shares from Mr. Samih Sawiris free of charge under a securities lending agreement. These shares were intended to be used for the tender offer regarding the buy-‐out of the remaining shareholders of Orascom Hotels & Development SAE (OHD), a company listed at the EGX. The borrowed ODH shares were not accounted for as treasury shares by the Group, as Mr. Samih Sawiris retained the significant rights, such as dividend and voting rights, during the borrowing period as per contractual provisions. Under the above mentioned securities lending agreement the Parent Company has returned 330 029 of the borrowed ODH shares to Mr. Samih Sawiris on 28 July 2011 by way of capital increase, which is further explained in note 40. All of the remaining 956,324 shares, which were not used during the above mentioned tender offer, were returned to Mr. Samih Sawiris by 31 December 2013. The difference between the balance, which was reported in equity as “equity swap settlement”, measured at the fair value of the share at the end of the tender offer, and the fair value amount of the capital increase was recognised as ”general reserve”.

Exchange differences relating to the translation of the results and net assets of the Group's foreign operations from their functional currencies to the Group's presentation currency (CHF) are recognized directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve. Exchange differences previously accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve in respect of translating the results and net assets of foreign operations are reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal and/or deemed loss of control of a foreign operation (refer to note 35 for further details on disposal of CMAR and note 36 for further details on deemed loss of control of OHC).
In 2015, the Swiss Franc was unchanged against the USD and strengthened against the Egyptian Pound by 10% which resulted in a net loss for the period of CHF 34.3 million. The strengthening of the Swiss Franc is mainly due to the decision of the Swiss National Bank to release the exchange rate ceiling against the Euro early in 2015.

31.2 Breach of loan agreement
The Egyptian economy continued to suffer through 2015 as the security situation has not improved substantially. The tourism sector, the main pillar industry, did well up until Q4 2015, since when Egypt, the main contributor to the Group, has been greatly affected by the surrounding circumstances and this has had a direct adverse influence, reflected in the declining profitability and cash flow of the Group which was exacerbated by the plane crash over Sinai as a result of a terrorist attack and several local attacks in Hurghada. The latter did not only continue to have a negative effect on Taba Heights but affected our hotels operations in Makadi Bay as well. Our Hotel segment was especially affected in Q4 2015 post the said airplane crash incident.
Due to the aforementioned factors and the resulting low cash flow, the Group has simultaneously achieved the following in 2015:
− At the back of the earlier floods in 2014 which affected Taba Heights, the Group continued to capitalize both interest expense and postpone any principal repayments on all OHD debt until the end of Q1 2015 as previously agreed with all the banks in 2014. In April 2015, the Group paid down the capitalized interest expense amount of CHF 32.9 million from the proceeds of the OHD shares relisting as agreed with the banks. Since April the Group has met all OHD debt interest expense payments of CHF 17.9 million until the end of the year.
− As per the agreement with OHD lenders, the remaining cash from the OHD shares relisting (CHF 54.2m) will be used to pay down the bank debt balances of OHD on a pro-‐rata basis against converting the short term debt (overdrafts) into medium term loans with 2 years of grace period on principal repayments and 6 years of repayments and rescheduling the existing medium term loans into longer term loans with 2 years of grace on principal repayments and 5 years of repayments. The latter debt restructuring is expected to be finalized in Q2 2016.
− Whilst OHD lenders solicited credit approval on the suggested restructuring, all bank debt principal repayments were waived in 2015.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the above, all covenant breaches were waived by all of OHD lenders for the year 2015.
As at 31 December 2014, the Group had also obtained financial covenant waiver from all of its banks for 2014.

(i) On 4 January 2015 ODH completed the subscription in the public offering of its Egyptian subsidiary OHD, through the sale of 33,294,349 shares at a price of EGP 15.20 (approximately CHF 1.85) per share. The offering generated EGP 506.1 million (approximately CHF 61.5 million) in total proceeds for the Group. This is lower than the CHF 69.9 million announced earlier due to significant changes in the foreign currency exchange rate. Net proceeds were CHF 2.5 million lower due to transaction costs which were recognised directly through equity. The net gain from this transaction of CHF 22.9 million was recognised through reserve from common control transactions. As a result of strong investor demand (oversubscription of 3.8x in total), ODH elected to proceed with the sale of a 15% stake in OHD, which is the top end of the range approved by ODH’s Board of Directors. This transaction marks the return of OHD’s active trading on the EGX since 2008.
(ii) In 2015, the Group bought the remaining shares of Captain for Hotels Company (Egypt) from the non-‐controlling shareholders.
(iii) For 2014 the amount represents NCI share in capital increases mainly due to share contributions to Salalah and Sifah (Oman).
(iv) The amount represents the NCI share in CMAR which was deconsolidated in December 2014 (note 35)

31.1 Summary of borrowing arrangements The weighted average contractual effective interest rate for all credit facilities and loans are 8.22% (2014: 8.12%). It is calculated by dividing the forecasted contractual interest expense due next year by the total outstanding credit facilities and bank loans at the end of the current reporting period. For a breakdown of debts bearing variable and fixed interest see note 38.10.1.
(i) Credit facilities used by the group are revolving facilities used to finance working capital requirements and they are available in multiple currencies. The average interest rate for the credit facilities for year 2015 is 9.62% (2014: 9.31%).
(ii) Bank loans are current and non-‐current loans and have in general variable interest rates including a mark up. Property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of CHF 96.6 million (2014: CHF 91.6 million) and receivables with a carrying amount of CHF 26.6 million (2014: CHF 27.5 million) have been pledged to secure borrowings (see notes 15 and 23).
In 2015, borrowings decreased by CHF 24.7 million mainly due to the repayment of loans in Egypt, the disposal of Golden Beach (note 35) as well as foreign currency exchange differences. The decrease was partly set-‐off by new loan agreement in Egypt and Oman.

35 DISPOSAL OF A SUBSIDIARY
35.1 Description of transactions 2015
During 2015, Jordan Company for Projects and Touristic Development (“JPTD”), an associate of the Group, purchased 100% of the shares of a subsidiary of the Group which holds 100% of the Golden Beach for Hotels Company (“Golden Beach”). Control of the Golden Beach Hotel was transferred on 24 June 2015 through change of possession and composition of Board of Directors of the Golden Beach for Hotels Company was changed to include representatives of JPTD. Since then all shares transactions have been completed and the cash has been received.
As Golden Beach and its Hotel do not represent a major line of business or a principal geographical area of operations of the Group, the sold operations are not recognized as discontinued operations".
2014
On 1 July 2014, the Group was successful in concluding a sales purchase agreement regarding CMAR with a third party and settlement agreements with the development banks were signed. After having received the approval of the Prime Minister of Mauritius as well as the Minister of Housing and Land of Mauritius before year end, the closing and final payment incurred in December 2014. Therefore, CMAR was deconsolidated at 31 December 2014. CMAR does not qualify as discontinued operation as it is neither a separate major line of business nor a geographical area of operations.

36 DEEMED LOSS OF CONTROL OF SUBSIDIARY
36.1 Description of transactions In June 2014, the share capital of Orascom Housing Communities (“OHC”) was increased by EGP 180 million (CHF 22.3 million) from EGP 185 million (CHF 22.9 million) to EGP 365 million (CHF 45.2 million) through capital contribution from Mr. Samih Sawiris (refer to note 40). As the Group did not participate in the capital increase, their share of interest decreased from 69.34% to 35.25% which results in a loss of control. Therefore the investment was deconsolidated in Q2 2014 and is now classified as an investment in associates (for further details refer to note 19) as the Group still maintains significant influence in the investment.
As OHC and its subsidiaries do not represent a major line of business or a principal geographical area of operations of the Group, the sold operations are not recognized as discontinued operations.

The respective insurance company is providing reinsurance of these assets and bears all market risk on these assets.
The actual return on plan assets was CHF 11,038 (2014: CHF 34,528).
The principal assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
2015 2014
Discount rates 0.90% 1.60%
Expected rates of salary increase 1.00% 1.00%
Expected pension increases 0.00% 0.00%
The following sensitivity analyses -‐ based on the principal assumptions -‐ have been determined based on reasonably possible changes to the assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period:
If the discount rate would be 25 basis points (0.25 percent) higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by CHF 1.4 million (increase by CHF 1.6 million if all other assumptions were held constant
If the expected salary growth would increase (decrease) by 0.25%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by CHF 1.5 million (decrease by CHF 1.5 million if all other assumptions were held constant
If the life expectancy would increase (decrease) with one year for both men and women, the defined benefit obligation would increase by CHF 1.5 million (decrease by CHF 1.5 million if all other assumptions were held constant
The average duration of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period is 18.5 years (2014: 17.5 years)
The Group expects to make a contribution of CHF 120,628 to the defined benefit plans during the next financial year (2014: CHF 88,801).

37 RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
37.1 Defined benefit plans The Group operates fund defined benefit plans for qualifying employees in Switzerland. Under the plans, the employees are entitled to retirement benefits and risk insurance for death and disability. No other post-‐retirement benefits are provided to these employees. The most recent actuarial valuations of plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out on 31 December 2015.
Swiss pension plans need to be administered by a separate pension fund that is legally separated from the entity. The law prescribes certain minimum benefits.
The pension plans of the employees of the Swiss entities are carried out by collective funds with Allianz Suisse Lebensversicherungs-‐Gesellschaft. Under the pension plans, the employees are entitled to retirement benefits and risk insurance for death and disability. The boards of the various pension funds are composed of an equal number of representatives from both employers and employees.
Due to the requirements of IAS 19 the above mentioned pension plans are classified as defined benefit plans. The pension plans are described in detail in the corresponding statues and regulations. The contributions of employers and employees in general are defined in percentages of the insured salary. The retirement pension is calculated based on the old-‐age credit balance on retirement multiplied by the fixed conversion rate. The employee has the option to withdraw the capital at once. The death and disability pensions are defined as percentage of the insured salary. The assets are invested directly with the corresponding pension funds.
The pension funds can change their financing system (contributions and future payments) at any time. Also, when there is a deficit which cannot be eliminated through other measures, the pension funds can oblige the entity to pay a restructuring contribution. For the pension funds of the Group such a deficit currently cannot occur as the plans are fully reinsured. However, the pension funds could cancel the contracts and the entities of the Group would have to join another pension fund.
In the current and comparative period no plan amendments, curtailments or settlements occurred. However, along with the deemed loss of control of subsidiaries (for further details refer to note 36) the respective defined benefit obligations have been derecognised.
The fully reinsured pension funds have concluded insurance contracts to cover the insurance and investment risk. The board of each pension fund is responsible for the investment of assets and the investment strategies are defined in a way that the benefits can be paid out on due date.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
Amounts recognised in profit or loss in respect of these defined benefit plans are as follows:
CHF 2015 2014
Current service cost 152,599 201,100
Past service cost 17,778 -‐

38.4 Financial risk management objectives In the course of its business, the Group is exposed to a number of financial risks. This note presents the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing its financial risk and capital.
The Group’s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, co-‐ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Other price risk includes equity price risk, settlement risk and commodity price risk.
It is, and has been throughout 2015 and 2014, the Group’s policy not to use derivatives without an underlying operational transaction or for trading (i.e. speculative) purposes.
The Group seeks to minimise the effects of these risks mainly through operational and finance activities and, on occasional basis, using derivative financial instruments to hedge these risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Group’s internal policies and procedures approved by the Board of Directors, which provide written principles on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-‐derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
The Corporate Treasury function reports monthly to the Executive Management. The Group Treasury Director carries out risk management under the Group’s guidelines.
38.5 Market risk The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see note 38.6 below) and interest rates (see note 38.7 below).
Driven by the need, the Group’s policy is to enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, including:
– forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk arising on sales in foreign currency to the tourism / real estate industry;
– interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates
38.6 Foreign currency risk management The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Hence, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The currencies, in which these transactions primarily are denominated, are US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR) and Egyptian Pound (EGP). Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilising forward foreign exchange contracts.
The Group’s main foreign exchange risk arises from sales in foreign currency to the tourism / real estate industry, which generates a net foreign currency surplus for the Group. The Group has strong inflows in foreign currency, mainly US Dollar, Euro, Oman Rial and Egyptian Pound.
Out of the total receivables on hand at the end of the reporting period, receivables in USD have accounted for 34% (2014: 10%), in EUR for 2% (2014: 7%),in EGP for 55% (2014: 70%), in OMR 7% (2014: 11%) and in AED 1]% (2014: 2%) respectively.

38 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
38.1 Capital risk management The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged since 2010.
The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt (borrowings, as detailed in note31, offset by cash and bank balances) and equity of the Group (comprising issued capital, share premium, reserves, retained earnings and non-‐controlling interests as detailed in notes 27 to 30).
The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
According to the Group’s internal policies and procedures, the Executive Management reviews the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review, the committee considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The Group has a target gearing ratio of 40% to 45% determined as the proportion of net debt to equity.
The gearing ratio at 31 December 2015 of 35.48% (see below) decreased mainly due to the capital increase and was below the target recommended by the committee.
The gearing ratio at the end of the reporting period was as follows:
CHF 2015 2014
Debt (i) 507,027,639 531,678,627
Cash and cash equivalents (167,636,917) (100,658,860)
Net debt 339,390,722 431,019,767
Equity (ii) 956,629,996 821,199,985
Net debt to equity ratio 35.48% 52.49%
(i) Debt is defined as long-‐ and short-‐term borrowings (excluding derivatives), as detailed in (note 31). (ii) Equity includes all capital and reserves of the Group and non-‐ controlling interests that are managed as capital excluding
equity of disposal groups.
38.2 Significant accounting policies Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 3.19 Financial instruments.

Forward foreign exchange contracts
It is the policy of the Group to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to cover specific foreign currency receipts within 25% to 30% of the exposure generated. At 31 December 2015, the Group has no outstanding forward foreign currency exchange contracts. During the current year the Group did not enter into any forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge part of the Group’s receivables denominated in EUR and USD.
During 2015, no ineffectiveness has been recognised in profit or loss arising from the Group’s hedging activities.
38.7 Interest rate risk management
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Group borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings, and by the use of interest rate swap contracts. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite, ensuring the most cost-‐effective hedging strategies are applied. The Group's exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.
The Group held one interest rate swap contract (IRS) under which the Group agrees to exchange the difference between fixed and floating rate interest amounts calculated on the agreed notional principal amount. The notional amount of the IRS contract is based on the outstanding amount of one of the long-‐term borrowings. The group was engaged in this contract on September 2008 and it expired in June 2014.
As the interest rate swap exchanged floating rate interest amounts for fixed rate interest amounts it was designated as a cash flow hedge in order to reduce the Group’s cash flow exposure resulting from variable interest rates on borrowings. The interest rate swap and the interest payments on the borrowing occurred simultaneously and the amount accumulated in equity was reclassified in profit or loss over the period that the floating rate interest payments on debt affected profit or loss.
Management has assessed that the cash flow hedge was 100% effective and therefore the entire change in fair value of the interest rate swap was recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (note 28.3).
38.7.1 Interest rate sensitivity analysis The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and non-‐derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding at the end of reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A ‘100 basis point’ (1%) increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 100 basis points higher / lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s profit for the year ended 31 December 2015 would decrease / increase by CHF 2.1 million (2014: decrease / increase by CHF 2.4 million). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.
38.8 Other price risks The Group is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments. Equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The Group does not actively trade these investments.
38.9 Credit risk management Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group credit risk arises from transactions with counterparties, mainly individual customers and corporations. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is, to a great extent, influenced by the individual characteristics of each customer. Risk control assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience, other publicly available financial information, its own trading records and other factors, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group’s exposure is continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.
Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across various industries and geographical areas. The Group does not have any 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. The credit risk on sales of real estate is limited because the Group controls this risk through the property itself by registering the unit in the name of the customer only after receiving the entire amount due from the customer.
Counterparty risk is also minimized by ensuring that 80% of derivative financial instruments, money market investments and current account deposits are placed with financial institutions whose credit standings are above Aa1 and 20% above BB+.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, which is net of impairment losses, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained.
F-‐69
To mitigate the above risk exposures, where possible, the Group borrows in matching currencies to create a natural hedge. The following table shows the carrying amounts of borrowings, at the end of the reporting period, in the major currencies in which they are issued.

At the end of the reporting period, the carrying amounts of the Group’s major foreign currency denominated monetary assets (mainly receivables and finance lease receivables) and monetary liabilities (mainly borrowings), at which the Group is exposed to currency rate risk, are as follows:
CHF Liabilities Assets
2015 2014 2015 2014

Currency-‐EUR 33,188,873 38,060,391 5,280,198 13,747,717
Residual foreign exchange exposure is managed by hedging through entering into foreign currency forward contracts if needed.
Currency risk has also recently developed due to the Group’s investments in different markets such as those in Egypt, UAE, Oman, Morocco and the UK. Again, the Group borrows in the local currency of the investment and uses the above mentioned strategies to mitigate residual currency risk.
38.6.1 Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
As discussed above, the Group is mainly exposed to the US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR) and Egyptian Pound (EGP) arising from sales in these currencies to the tourism / real estate industry.
The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in CHF against the relevant foreign currencies. The (5%) is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates.
The sensitivity analysis includes outstanding borrowings, impact of the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges and receivables in foreign currencies and, where appropriate, loans to foreign operations within the Group where the denomination of the loan is in a currency other than the functional currency of the lender or the borrower.
A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where the CHF strengths 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% weakening of the CHF against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on the profit or equity, and the balances below would be negative.

Financial liabilities
Borrowings/bank loans 507,027,639 580,523,569 531,928,850 618,898,386
Finance lease receivables
As at 31 December 2015, the fair value of finance lease receivables was estimated to be CHF 48.4 million (31 December 2014: CHF 34.0 million) using a 15.5% (2014: 15.5%) discount rate based on an average six year tenor and adding a credit margin that reflects the secured nature of the receivables.
38.12.2 Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purposes of measuring fair value The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
– The fair values of financial assets with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices (includes unlisted and listed equity investments classified as at FVTPL and FVTOCI respectively).
– The Group receives the fair values of foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps from the counterparty banks. Foreign currency forward contracts are usually measured using quoted forward exchange rates and yield curves derived from quoted interest rates matching maturities of the contracts. Interest rate swaps are usually measured at the present value of future cash flows estimated and discounted based on the applicable yield curves derived from quoted interest rates.
– The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding those described above) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis. Specifically, significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the following financial assets and liabilities are set out below.
38.12.3 Fair value measurements recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position The following table provides an analysis of financial and non-‐financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.
– Level 1: fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
– Level 2: fair value measurements are those derived from inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
– Level 3: fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

38.10 Liquidity risk management Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short-‐, medium-‐ and long-‐term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Regarding management’s plans to manage liquidity shortages and related uncertainty please refer to note 26.1.
As of 31 December 2015, total un-‐drawn facilities, that the Group has at its disposal in order to further reduce liquidity risk, are CHF 9.7 million (31 December 2014: CHF 34.1 million).
Further, please refer to note 26.1 regarding the disclosures on management’s plans to manage liquidity shortages and related uncertainties.
38.10.1 Liquidity and interest risk tables The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its non-‐derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest cash flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of the reporting period. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Group may be required to pay.

43 COMMITMENTS FOR EXPENDITURE The following commitments for expenditure have been made for the future development of the respective projects:
CHF 2015
Eco-‐Bos Development Limited (i) 4,719,996 (i) As per the property management agreement between Eco-‐Bos and Imerys (shareholder in Eco-‐Bos) , Eco-‐Bos has the right but
not the obligation (American call option maturing in 2030) to purchase part or all of 6.6 million square meters (divided on 7 independent plots), which is currently owned by Imerys Mineral Limited. An annual option premium is paid to retain the rights and the purchase price is calculated based on an agreed dynamic pricing formula. The trigger event of the option(s) is at the full discretion of Eco-‐Bos and shall only be exercised when building permits are attained. Currently Eco-‐Bos is in negotiations with the local authorities and other investors and is taking its time to optimize on the best alternatives for the development.
43.1 Minimum Building Obligations Beside the legally binding commitment for expenditure mentioned above the, following should be considered:
One part of the Group’s business is to acquire land for the development of tourism projects. Out of these business opportunities often no legally binding commitments are incurred. However, the Group has non-‐binding business opportunity commitments in relation to their projects. In particular the Group has minimum building obligations (“MBOs”) for the next five years, which are included in their development agreements (“DAs”) with the relevant governments in Oman, Morocco and Montenegro.
F-‐75
The residual amount due from Falcon of USD 60 million (CHF 59.5 million) was due at 31 December 2015 but has been extended until Q2 2016. It is now shown in the consolidated statement of financial position as other current assets (at amortised cost of CHF 59.5 million) and is secured by hotel property.
In accordance with the settlement agreement both parties have opened an escrow account and placed in escrow the shares of the company that ultimately holds Citadel Azur hotel.
Purchase of shares from OHD
On 17 January 2007 OHD allocated to employees and the management team (including the chairman and the executive board members) an amount of 2 million shares for full consideration being the market price as of that day. Mr. Samih Sawiris acquired under this transaction 330,000 shares at the market price. Amounts due from Mr. Samih Sawiris under this transaction are included in “Other assets” as amounts due from employees and management team and amounted to CHF 0.3 million at 31 December 2015 (31 December 2014: CHF 0.4 million). There are no amounts due from executive board members under this transaction in 2015 and 2014. (see note 25(iii)).
Taba Heights Company transactions
One of the Group companies had been granted the right to acquire freehold title to the project's land by the Tourism Development Authority. Due to foreign ownership restrictions on the Sinai Peninsula becoming applicable in connection with the reorganization in 2008, the respective Group company had to be transferred to Mr. Samih Sawiris, major shareholder and of Egyptian nationality. Mr. Samih Sawiris entered into a binding agreement to retransfer these shares subject to approval of the competent authorities, and that until such retransfer, the Group would be put into a position as the full economic beneficiary of these shares. This entails, inter alia, an irrevocable assignment of dividends and the authorization to collect dividends, exercise voting rights related to these shares and cause the sale of shares with no additional rights of Mr. Samih Sawiris in any value received.
Securities lending agreement
For further details on this transaction refer to note 28.5.
Rental contract for office building in Cairo
Orascom Hotel and Development, a major subsidiary of Orascom Development Holding AG, has rented part of its administrative headquarter in Nile City from a joint stock company owned by the major shareholders and others.
Capital increase in Orascom Housing Communities
OHC called for a rights issue to strengthen its capital base and meet its commitments. Mr. Samih Sawiris, who held a non-‐controlling interest in OHC before the capital increase, was the only party to subscribe to OHC’s capital call resulting in ODH’s deemed loss of control in 2014 (refer to note 36 for further details).
FTI
FTI is the fourth largest tour operator in Europe. In 2014, Mr. Samih Sawiris acquired a 35% stake in this tour operator. In 2015, revenue transactions for a total of CHF 24.7 million (2014: CHF 16.4 million) were done with FTI.
Explanation of other movements
Except for the increase in related party receivable due to the disposal of Golden Beach (refer to note 35 for further details), neither in related party receivables nor in related party payables there were any significant changes compared to 31 December 2014.
41 NON-‐CASH TRANSACTIONS During the current year, the Group entered into the following non-‐cash investing and financing activities which are not reflected in the consolidated statement of cash flow:
– Conversion of shareholder loan into newly issued shares of CHF 84.2 million (note 27.2 and 34)

Risk assessment of contingent liability
Management has analysed the various MBOs and is comfortable with the current status of the MBOs and the minimum investment obligations. Albeit that certain delays have or may potentially occur, all such delays were well founded and are premised on legal grounds that would protect the Group from any exposure. The Group has exerted a great deal of negotiations in all destinations to ensure that any delays are communicated to local authorities and thereby working alongside the government in rescheduling and extending the completion dates. Additionally, the Group has worked on securing finance schemes to accommodate the newly developed restructuring of the investment obligations, or in cases were completion dates are at risk, expending the necessary amounts to comply with the contractual obligations.
44 LITIGATION Falcon
The financial statements of Falcon Company for Hotels (“Falcon”) were incorporated into ODH’s consolidated financial statements on 31 December 2008 in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, as a result of the business combination previously effected through one of ODH’s subsidiaries whereby control had existed over Falcon at that time.
Subsequent to the first time consolidation, but prior to the completion of the transfer of the legal title on the Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX), a dispute over the Falcon securities purchase agreement had arisen. At the beginning of October 2009, the Group ceased consolidating Falcon due to changes in Falcon’s management resulting in a loss of control for the Group which was one of the reasons of the dispute.
Several arbitration and litigation proceedings involving Falcon, the Group and third parties were pending. In July 2013, an award was issued in favour of one of ODH’s subsidiaries, establishing ODH’s subsidiary’s right for compensation for the breaches made by Falcon and its owners. The exact amount of the compensation was supposed to be subject to another set of arbitration proceedings. This had a significant positive impact on strengthening the position of the Group in recovering all its losses suffered as a result of this dispute. As a result, settlement negotiations have commenced with Falcon and a memorandum of understanding, setting forth the basic terms of the settlement, was successfully signed on 8 January 2014. The parties to the dispute have continued to negotiate the remaining terms of the settlement and have reached a final form of the settlement agreement, which was signed by all parties involved on 20 June 2014 and thus ending all disputes in this connection.
In execution of the terms and conditions of the settlement agreement the parties have agreed to transfer the shares of the company fully owning the Citadel Azur hotel to a special purpose vehicle to be held in an escrow account for a period of 15 months from the date of transfer of the shares in the escrow account. Initially the parties agreed that the shares will be transferred on an earlier date, and the payment of the settlement amount should have been December 2015. However the shares were transferred on 3 March 2015, hence the 15 months count started from the foregoing date. Consequently, the parties effectively extended the payment date by virtue of joint instructions sent to the Escrow Agent. Accordingly, ODH shall obtain by Q2 2016, either the amount of USD 60 million in cash, or the full undisputed ownership of the Citadel Azur hotel.
45 OTHER SIGNIFICANT EVENTS THAT OCCURRED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD Political situation in Egypt
The release of GDP figures for FY 2014/2015 has provided positive news for the Egyptian economy. GDP increased by 4.2%, more than double the 2.1% increase in FY 2013/2014 and marked the strongest growth in five years. Recent indicators point to a more difficult situation, faced with foreign currency shortages, the Egyptian authorities are implementing measures to reduce the import bill. At the end of 2015, the Central Bank of Egypt tightened controls to plug loopholes that allowed importers to dodge customs tariffs. At the beginning of February 2016, the government raised taxes on more than 500 imported goods, in particular luxury items. The inflows aid coming from outside are also expected to improve Egypt’s external position and release some pressure on the international reserves. At the beginning of January 2016, Egypt has received a USD 1 billion in cash deposits from China, which added to a total of around USD 11 billion in commitments from the World Bank and Saudi Arabia that were announced in late 2015.
Tourism has faced several challenges over the past period. The knock-‐on effects of the Russian plane crash in the Sinai in October 2015 have taken a toll on the tourism sector. A number of countries cancelled flights to Egypt following the incident. Bookings by tourists to the Red Sea resort of Sharm El-‐Sheikh have dropped. The consequences of the incident has affected our hotels in Makadi and Taba, whereby we have closed 2 hotels in Makadi (Makadi Gardens and Club Azur) out of 4 hotels, and 5 hotels in Taba out of the 6 existing hotels.
Egypt has also witnessed the kick-‐off of the long-‐awaited parliamentary elections in October 2015. Between 18 October and 22 November 2015 elections were held in two rounds in Egypt. These were the first elections after the 2014 constitution that abolished the old Shura council (upper house) and replaced the people’s Assembly (lower house) with the House of Representatives that was elected during these elections.

The contingent liabilities in relation to the MBOs in Montenegro, Oman and Morocco are assessed by management of the Group as follows:
Oman
According to the DAs for Salalah and Sifah, the project companies, which are subsidiaries of the Group, shall use their best efforts to substantially complete a defined amount of Hotels and Golf Courses within an indicative timeline. Based on this indicative timeline, the project companies have been initially granted an extension of time for the substantial completion (which is defined as the material elements of the specific MBOs) of the MBOs that elapses on 1 January 2015.
Based on the right to request an extension of the completion date, which is included in the DAs, the Group has requested an extension for the time of completion of the residual MBOs until 2018. The Sifah and Salalah project companies engaged in exhaustive negotiations with the Omani Government. Finally on 30 June 2015 the Group and the Omani Government signed the Addenda (individually “Addendum“ and collectively “Addenda”) in which they officially agreed on the extension of the deadline for completion of the MBOs until 1 January 2020 and 1 January 2018 for Sifah and Salalah respectively. Furthermore the Parties agreed to amend certain elements of the MBOs. With regards to Sifah project, the Parties agreed that the Project Company shall deliver 500 hotel keys over three hotels instead of four hotels. The project company has so far finalized 67 rooms. Additionally, the project company would be required to either develop an aquarium or a waterpark, and such shall be determined at its sole discretion. Similarly with regards to the Salalah project, it was agreed in the Addendum that the project company would deliver 700 hotel keys and replace the 18-‐hole golf course with a waterpark. To date, the project company in Salalah has completed 3 hotels with a total number of 700 keys, hence completing its requirement with regards to the touristic components. The Salalah Addendum also stipulates that the Project Company shall grant, transfer and assign to the Omani Government an area of land amounting to two million square meters, while the Omani Government undertook to provide all pending licenses to the Project Company
Morocco
In Morocco, the DA does not contemplate the concept of MBOs. However it sets out a timeline for the performance of the essential elements of a development plan. These essential elements have no fixed dates but are rather governed by interconnected milestones that change the date automatically on the occurrence of an agreed milestone.
In 2010, the project company obtained an exception entitling it to finalize three hotels in 2013 and the remaining two in 2015. Since then the project company has created the organisational structure for the creation of three hotels and the related infrastructure. However, further process by the project companies was delayed by various factors outside the control of the project companies and they therefore have solid grounds for requesting further extensions. In addition, the DA states that in the event the delay is for reasons outside of the control of the project company, this would be taken into consideration when assessing whether the project company has fulfilled its obligations or not. In furtherance and in compliance with the obligations to which the project company is committed to, a new hotel holding structure has been proposed, the main goal of which is the creation of the 3 Hotels and the associated infrastructure, which is part of phase 1 of the project. The scope of investment for the aforementioned hotel holding structure is approximately CHF 129 million. The financing package is currently being finalized, the equity partners are already identified, the shareholder agreement for the hotel holding entity is currently under review, and the debt –financing is currently being secured.
While in theory the indicative date of completion of the essential elements of the project has elapsed on January 2015, the Group is comfortable with the outcome of the negotiations between the Government of Morocco and the project company. On September 16, 2014 the Moroccan Government granted the project company an initial approval regarding the new hotel holding structure, as well as the project company’s request to extend the timeline for completion of Phases 1 and 2. The Group remains engaged in discussions, meetings and workshops with the state agency for tourism (“SMIT”) for the purpose of integrating the amendments to the DA. Furthermore, the Group has undertaken all necessary studies of the social and environmental impact of the project on the region, a task to which the financing of the Hotel Holding Structure by the financial institutions was, inter alia, contingent. Finally the Group received a comfort letter envisaged in the proposal sent by SMIT suggesting an extension of the timeline, however still pending negotiations between the parties.
Montenegro
In Montenegro, the investment obligations contemplated by the DAs span over three phases of development. The date of completion of the initial phase is due by 2017. Additionally, based on the minimum investment obligations set out for the first two years, the financial expenditure to date has exceeded the required minimum investment as per the DA.
The initial phase of the project entails the completion of a four star hotel, in addition to a main mooring area, an 18 hole golf course and a club house, as well as a town centre with several facilities.
Whilst the initial phase of the project should be completed by 2017, it should be noted that the DA provides for a mechanism whereby the project company is granted an extension of time proportionally to the time consumed by the Government in fulfilment of its obligations. To date the Government has not yet finalized the steps it should have taken, especially with regards to transfer of the title to some parts of the land, therefore the project company’s entitlement to an additional period, if required, should not be challenged.

For the operating projects, DCF valuation techniques applying a two-‐phase model for the hotels segment were used. The first phase is a 5-‐year period which shows the evolving status of the hotel segment indicated returning to the operating levels of before the 2011 revolution. The second phase is a 5 year period which shows the steady increase in the performance of the hotel operations. Major underlying assumptions are occupancy and average room rates for hotels and the number of real estate units to be sold.
The various assumptions and future projections incorporate the various political, economic and operational facts prevailing at the time of preparing the valuations. Future developments may impact the value.
In January 2015, the Swiss National Bank decided to discontinue the minimal exchange rate of Euro 1.20 to the CHF. This had a significant impact on the CHF / EGP exchange rate as well. Management monitored the development after this decision and came to the conclusion that a full recovery of CHF / EGP exchange rate is not to be expected in the near or middle-‐term future. Therefore, an impairment of CHF 81 million is recorded in Q1 2015.
In January 2015, 15% of OHD Investment was sold in a public offering for total proceeds of EGP 506 million equivalent to CHF 61.5 million, which was equivalent to its carrying amount. The costs related to this offering are CHF 2.5 million, which results in net proceeds of CHF 59.0 million.

3.2 Other current receivables – Third Parties Accounts receivables include a position in the amount of CHF 427,439 (31 December 2014: 670,082), whose value is determined by the market value of ODH EDRs. This position is valued at lower of cost or market. As of 31 December 2015 a provision was made for the whole outstanding amount of CHF 427,439.
3.3 Investments Investments are valued at acquisition cost less adjustments for impairment. On a regular basis the Company’s management reviews the recoverable value of the Company’s investments in the various destinations, and accordingly reduces the carrying value by the amount of any impairment losses.
The Egyptian revolution in 2011 has negatively affected the performance of the Company’s Egyptian arm under Orascom Hotels & Development S.A.E. (“OHD”). OHD’s different operating segments, especially real estate and hotels being the key revenue and value drivers of OHD, have been negatively affected by the deteriorated economic conditions that took place in Egypt. This is represented in downsized demand for real estate purchases and declined flow of tourists.
The valuation model of the Company captures the different investments, whether greenfield projects, brownfield projects, or operating projects. The valuation model adopts various approaches depending on the category of the project: as for the greenfield projects and brownfield projects, the model keeps it at investment cost given the uncertainty of the future assumptions and the absence of track record for those projects. One of the major contributors to the investments’ value is land banks in Egypt, for which valuation depends very much on developments and sales that are achievable over a long-‐term period. Due to this long-‐term view and the current political and economic situation there remains a significant uncertainty.
