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

HotelsSegmentin2015

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.

orascom development

Orascom Development has a diversified portfolio of destinations, which is spread over eight jurisdictions covering egypt, UAe, Jordan, Oman, switzerland, morocco, montenegro and United Kingdom. It is a leading developer of fully integrated and infrastructure-supported destinations that include hotels, private villas, apartments and leisure facilities–namely, golf courses and marinas.

subject to certain conditions, the Group has, up to this date, secured land banks of approxi-mately 100.2 million m2 in several jurisdictions. moreover, Orascom Development holds its undeveloped land banks primarily by way of contractual rights or usufructs, with the option to acquire legal title.

the Group has also developed eight operating destinations including tourist destinations such as el Gouna on the Red sea coast, taba Heights in the sinai peninsula and makadi in the Red sea district in egypt, the cove in Ras Al Khaimah in UAe, Jebel sifah and salalah Beach in Oman and Andermatt swiss Alpes in switzerland, in

addition to the budget housing community of Haram city in the Greater cairo area in egypt.

Board of directors:For their service on the Board and its committees in 2015, the Board of Directors decided to reduce the compensation from cHF 130,000 to gross cHF 120,000 for all members of the Board of Directors. It was decided that the compensation shall be paid out half in cash and half in the form of shares of the company.

the shares of the company allocated to the members of the Board of Directors as compensation are, for that purpose and if not available to the company already, purchased by the company on the market and their valuation (for purposes of the calculation of the number of shares allocated to each member of the Board of Directors) is based on the average share price (ODHn) at Zurich stock exchange during the last six months (closing prices of all trading days during the last six months).

In addition to the base compensation for all members of the Board of Directors, members (and chairs) of one of the committees shall receive for 2015 an additional compensation

of gross cHF 20,000. the lead Director shall receive an additional compensation of gross cHF 40,000.

executive Management:compensation of the members of executive management for their service in executive management consists of a base salary which is annually reviewed, and a bonus payment which is annually determined, as further described below.

the compensation of the members of executive management is based on an evaluation of the company performance, of the individual performance of each member, as well as of the performance of the business area for which each member is responsible.

the nomination & compensation committee discusses the proposals presented by the ceO, approves them if deemed fit, and subsequently informs the Board of Directors of its decisions.

members of executive management do not have a right to attend meetings of the nomination & compensation committee at which decisions are taken in respect to their compensation, or otherwise to participate in the decision process.

Performance related remuneration:In mid 2014, the Board of Directors revised the company’s bonus policy and approved an updated bonus policy (“policy”) for the executive management. the policy includes a cash-bonus and a deferred share-bonus. 100% of the cash-bonus and 40 % of the share-bonus are based on the executive member’s management’s personal performance. 60% of the share-bonus is based on the (financial) performance of the Group.

the cash-bonus can reach at maximum 25% of the executive member’s annual gross base salary. the share-bonus can reach at maximum 100% of the executive member’s annual gross base salary.

the share price that is relevant to determine the number of ODH shares to be granted to the member of the executive management is the average share price of the ODH share (ODHn) at Zurich stock exchange during the last six months of the performance year (closing prices of all trading days between July 1 and December 31).

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.

F-­‐12  

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.  

Annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2019  

   

F-­‐11  

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.

F-­‐14  

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.

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.

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.

F-­‐16  

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

3.7.5      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.  

   

F-­‐15  

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.

F-­‐18  

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.  

F-­‐17  

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.

F-­‐20  

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.

F-­‐24  

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.

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.

5  THE  GROUP  AND  MAJOR  CHANGES  IN  GROUP  ENTITIES    The  Group  comprises  the  Parent  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  operating  in  different  countries.  

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.

 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:

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.

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).

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.

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:

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:

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.

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.

JPTD   is   investing   in   property,   destination  management   and   development   in  Aqaba   in   Jordon.   Since   2008   the  Group   exercised  significant  influence  with  their  two  active  board  members  out  of  eleven  leading  to  changes  in  the  JPTD’s  Executive  Management  and  provision  of  essential  technical  information.  The  proportion  of  ownership  interest  held  by  the  Group  at  31  December  2015  was  increased   from   15.64%   to   18.33%   by   acquiring   new   shares   in   the   amount   of   CHF   10.2   million.   The   carrying   amount   further  increased  by  foreign  currency  exchange  gains  of  CHF  0.6  million.  This   increase  was  partly  reduced  by  share  of   losses  of  CHF  0.3  million.

(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.  

(iii) This  amount   includes  hotels   inventory  of  CHF  19.7  million  (2014:  CHF  17.5  million)  as  well  as  completed  but  unsold  units  of  CHF  15.8  million  (2014:  CHF  18.5  million)  

In  2015,  no  impairment  was  necessary.  In  2014,  an  impairment  of  CHF  1.1  was  made  in  relation  to  Omani  land.

(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.

(i) Egyptian  Resort  Company  

The  investment  in  Egyptian  Resort  Company  (“ERC”),  which  is  listed  in  EGX,  remains  unchanged  to  prior  year.  The  company  is  acting  as  the  developer  of  the  hotel  and  real  estate  project  in  Sahel  Hashish  (Egypt).  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).

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.

F-­‐8  

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:

Cash  and  cash  equivalents   167,636,917   100,658,860

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.

As  of  31  December  2015,  the  Company  owned  62,877  own  shares  (31  December  2014:  105,246).  A  total  of  150,612  own  shares  were  received  in  2010  (26,171  shares)  and  2013  (124,441  shares)  as  part  of  the  compensation  for  the  sale  of  the  six  percent  stake  in  the  former  Garranah  subsidiaries  (note  28.8).    

(i) On  13  May  2014  and  24  December  2014  a  total  of  14,000  own  shares  were  acquired  from  employees  resulting  in  an  increase  of  the  treasury  shares  of  CHF  0.3  million.  

(ii) In  March  and  September  2015,  ODH  transferred  a  total  of  42,369  own  shares  to  the  members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  as  part  of  their  remuneration  (CHF  0.7  million).  The  treasury  shares  reserve,  which  values  the  shares  at  original  purchase  price  (CHF  2.2  million),  has  been  reduced  accordingly  and  the  resulting  difference  has  been  recognized  as  loss  directly  through  retained  earnings  (CHF  1.5  million).  

On   1   February   2014,   ODH   transferred   59,455   own   shares   to   the   members   of   the   Board   of   Directors   as   part   of   their  remuneration   (CHF   0.9  million).   The   treasury   shares   reserve,   which   values   the   shares   at   original   purchase   price   (CHF   3.4  million),   has   been   reduced   accordingly   and   the   resulting   difference   has   been   recognized   as   loss   directly   through   retained  earnings  (CHF  2.5  million)  (note  29).  

   

F-­‐9  

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.

28.7  Reserve  from  common  control  transactions    

CHF   2015   2014  

Balance  at  beginning  of  year   (121,749,573)   (121,749,573)  

Sale  of  15%  of  OHD  (note  30)   22,858,157    

Non-­‐controlling  interests’  share  in  equity  of  consolidated  subsidiaries   198,467   -­‐  

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.

Trade   and   other   payables   decreased   by   CHF   13.0   million   mainly   due   to   foreign   currency   exchange   differences   based   on   the  strengthening  of  the  Swiss  Franc  (note  28.6).  There  were  no  other  significant  changes  in  2015.

(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.

infrastructure  to  make  the  project  area  that  is  usually  located  in  remote  regions,  habitable  and  attractive.  Such  provisions  are  recorded  for  land  and  real  estate  sales  on  the  date  on  which  all  the  criteria  for  revenue  recognition  are  met.  

(ii) Provision  for  legal  cases  consists  of  expected  cash  outflows  for  the  settlement  of  pending  litigations.  The  decrease  is  primarily  due  to  settlement  of  various  legal  cases.  

(iii) Provision  for  government  fees  relates  to  cash  outflows  for  fees  due  on  the  sale  of  land  and  /  or  any  profit  thereon  which  were  recorded  during  the  current  year.  Such  provision  is  calculated  and  recorded  using  the  locally  enacted  fee  structures.    

(iv) Provision   for   employee   benefits   partly   relates   to   compulsory   termination   payments   to   foreign   employees   in   Oman.   The  provision  is  based  on  their  actual  salaries.  As  the  work  permits  for  these  employees  are  reconsidered  by  the  Government  on  annual  basis.    

(v) This  provision  mainly  includes  charges,  services  and  consultancy  fees  for  the  Group's  current  year's  operations  which  have  not  yet  been   finally  negotiated  as  well   as  provisions   in   relation   to  various  assets  of   the  Group.   In  addition   it   covers   the  Group’s  exposures  to  tax  risks.    

Management  annually  reviews  and  adjusts  these  provisions  based  on  the  latest  developments,  discussions  and  agreements  with  the  involved  parties.

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:

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.      

F-­‐67  

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.

F-­‐70  

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-­‐USD   193,983,296   212,352,764   78,472,523   18,642,806  

Currency-­‐EGP   191,800,766   207,206,999   127,507,661   129,555,530  

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.  

 

F-­‐77  

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.

REPORT  OF  THE  STATUTORY  AUDITOR  

To  the  General  meeting  of  Orascom  Development  Holding  AG,  Altdorf  

Report  of  the  Statutory  Auditor  on  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  

As  Statutory  Auditor,  we  have  audited   the  accompanying   consolidated   financial   statements  of  Orascom  Development  Holding  AG,   Altdorf,   which   comprise   the   consolidated   statement   of   financial   position   as   at   31   December   2015,   and   the   consolidated  statement  of  comprehensive  income,    consolidated  statement  of  changes  in  equity,  consolidated  cash  flow  statement  and  notes  (pages  F-­‐3  to  F-­‐79)  for  the  year  then  ended.  

Board  of  Directors’  Responsibility  

The   Board   of   Directors   is   responsible   for   the   preparation   of   these   consolidated   financial   statements   in   accordance   with  International   Financial   Reporting   Standards   and   the   requirements   of   Swiss   law.   This   responsibility   includes   designing,  implementing  and  maintaining  an  internal  control  system  relevant  to  the  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  that  are  free   from  material  misstatement,  whether  due   to   fraud  or  error.  The  Board  of  Directors   is   further   responsible   for   selecting  and  applying  appropriate  accounting  policies  and  making  accounting  estimates  that  are  reasonable  in  the  circumstances.  

Auditor’s  Responsibility  

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial  statements  based  on  our  audit.  We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Swiss  law,  Swiss  Auditing  Standards  and  the  International  Standards  on  Auditing.  Those  standards  require  that  we   plan   and   perform   the   audit   to   obtain   reasonable   assurance   whether   the   consolidated   financial   statements   are   free   from  material  misstatement.    

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements.   The   procedures   selected   depend   on   the   auditor’s   judgment,   including   the   assessment   of   the   risks   of   material  misstatement   of   the   consolidated   financial   statements,   whether   due   to   fraud   or   error.   In  making   those   risk   assessments,   the  auditor  considers  the  internal  control  system  relevant  to  the  entity’s  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  in  order  to  design   audit   procedures   that   are   appropriate   in   the   circumstances,   but   not   for   the  purpose  of   expressing   an  opinion  on   the  effectiveness   of   the   entity’s   internal   control   system.   An   audit   also   includes   evaluating   the   appropriateness   of   the   accounting  policies   used   and   the   reasonableness   of   accounting   estimates   made,   as   well   as   evaluating   the   overall   presentation   of   the  consolidated  financial  statements.  We  believe  that  the  audit  evidence  we  have  obtained  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  audit  opinion.  

Opinion  

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  for  the  year  ended  31  December  2015  give  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  financial  position,  the  results  of  operations  and  the  cash  flows  in  accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  and  comply  with  Swiss  law.  

Report  on  Other  Legal  Requirements  

We  confirm  that  we  meet   the   legal   requirements  on   licensing  according  to   the  Auditor  Oversight  Act   (AOA)  and   independence  (article  728  CO  and  article  11  AOA)  and  that  there  are  no  circumstances  incompatible  with  our  independence.  

In   accordance   with   article   728a   paragraph   1   item  3   CO   and   Swiss   Auditing   Standard   890,   we   confirm   that   an   internal   control  system  exists,  which  has  been  designed  for  the  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  according  to  the  instructions  of  the  Board  of  Directors.  

We  recommend  that  the  consolidated  financial  statements  submitted  to  you  be  approved.

F-­‐86  

Notes  to  the  financial  statements  1  GENERAL  INFORMATION    Orascom  Development  Holding  AG  was  established  in  Switzerland  as  Joint  Stock  Company  and  is  domiciled   in  Altdorf,  Uri.  The  purpose  of   the  Company   is   the  direct  or   indirect  acquisition,  durable  management  and  disposal  of  participations   in  domestic  or  foreign   enterprises,   in   particular   in   the   field   of   real   estate,   tourism,   hotels,   construction,   resort  management,   financing   of   real  estate  and  related  industries  as  well  as  the  provision  of  related  services.    

The  accounts  for  the  period  from  1  January  to  31  December  2015  were  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors  on  April  13,  2016.  The  Company  has  an  annual  average  of  less  than  10  full-­‐time  employees  (previous  year:  less  than  10  full-­‐time  employees).    

The   previous   year’s   figures   are   presented   according   to   the   new   financial   reporting   law,   in   order   to   achieve   a   consistent  representation   and   breakdown   of   the   figures.   Any   differences   in   valuation   resulting   from   the   application   of   the   new   financial  reporting  law  have  been  posted  to  the  current  financial  year.  

 

2  KEY  ACCOUNTING  AND  VALUATION  PRINCIPLES    

2.1  Principal  of  Financial  Reporting:  The   present   accounts   for  Orascom  Development  Holding  AG   have   been   prepared   in   accordance  with   the   requirements   of   the  Swiss  Financial  Reporting  Law.  The  main  accounting  and  valuation  principles  used,  which  are  already  specified  by  the  Swiss  Code  of  Obligations,  are  described  as  follows.  

2.2  Estimates  and  Assumptions  made  by  management:  Financial  reporting  under  the  Swiss  Code  of  Obligations  requires  certain  estimates  and  assumptions  to  be  made  by  management.  These  are  on-­‐going  and  are  based  on  past  experience  and  other   factors   (e.g.  expectations  of   future  results   for   investments  and  budget).   The   result   subsequently   achieved  may   change   from   these   estimates.   Items   in   the   accounts,   which   are   based   on   the  estimates  and  assumptions  made  by  management,  are  as  follows:  

– Investments  

– Direct  taxes  

– Tangible  fixed  assets  

– Provisions  

2.3  Foreign  Currency  items:  The  currency   in  which  Orascom  Development  Holding  AG  operates   is  Swiss  Francs  (CHF).  Transactions   in  foreign  currencies  are  converted  into  the  currency  in  which  the  company  operates  (CHF)  at  the  exchange  rate  on  the  day  of  the  transaction  takes  place.  

– Monetary  assets  and   liabilities   in  foreign  currencies  are  converted   into  CHF  at  the  exchange  rate  on  the  balance  sheet  date.  Any  profit  or  losses  from  the  exchange  are  recorded  in  the  profit  or  loss  account.  

– Non-­‐monetary   assets   and   liabilities   at   historical   costs   are   converted   at   the   foreign   exchange   rate   at   the   time   of   the  transaction.  

2.4  Related  parties:  Related   parties   include   subsidiary   companies,   members   of   the   Board   of   Directors   and   Orascom   Development   Holding   AG  shareholders.  Transactions  with  related  parties  take  place  under  proper  market  conditions  (dealing  at  an  arm’s  length).  

2.5  Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents  and  current  assets  with  a  stock  exchange  price:  The   cash   and   current   assets   with   a   stock   exchange   price   items   cash   holdings,   bank   deposits   and   short-­‐term   money   market  investments  maturing  in  a  maximum  of  3  months.  They  are  recorded  at  their  nominal  value.  

2.6  Current  Assets  with  a  stock  exchange  price  and  financial  assets:  Current  assets  with  a  stock  exchange  price  are  valued  at  the  stock  exchange  price  on  the  balance  sheet  closing  date.  There  is  no  provision  for  a  fluctuation  reserve.  Financial  assets  include  long-­‐term  securities  without  a  stock  exchange  price  or  an  observable  market  price.  These  are  valued  at  acquisition  cost  less  any  value  adjustment.

F-­‐88  

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.  

As  at  31  December  2015  and  2014,  the  Company  directly  holds  the  following  investments:

2.7  Tangible  Fixed  Assets:  The   straight-­‐line   depreciation  method   is   used   for   tangible   fixed   assets   according   to   their   expected   useful   life.   Useful   lives   are  established  as  follows  and  are  revised  each  year:  

– Machinery  and  Equipment     5  Years  

– Office  Equipment  and  Computers     3  Years  

– Furniture  and  fixtures       3  Years  

2.8  Own  Shares:  Own  Shares  are  recorded  at  acquisition  cost  on  the  balance  sheet  as  a  deduction  to  equity  capital.  If  they  are  resold  at  a  later  date,  the  profit  or  loss  is  recorded  in  retained  earnings,  respectively  accumulated  losses.  

2.9  Shareholder  rights  and  options:  Own   shares   are   allocated   to   management   and   administrative   bodies   or   to   employees   as   shareholder   rights   or   options.   The  difference  between  the  acquisition  value  and  any  payments  to  counterparties  during  share  allocation  is  shown  as  staff  costs.  

2.10  Leasing  transactions:  Leasing  and  rental  contracts  are  accounted  for   in  accordance  with   legal  ownership.  Expenses  as  a   lessee  or  tenant  are  recorded  corresponding  as  expenditure  in  the  relevant  period.

Total  cash  and  cash  equivalents   40,605,624   7,114,324    

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.

REPORT  OF  THE  STATUTORY  AUDITOR  

To  the  General  meeting  of  Orascom  Development  Holding  AG,  Altdorf  

Report  of  the  Statutory  Auditor  on  the  Financial  Statements  

As   Statutory   Auditor,   we   have   audited   the   accompanying   financial   statements   of   Orascom   Development   Holding   AG,   which  comprise  the  balance  sheet  as  of  31  December,  2015,  and  the   income  statement,  cash-­‐flow  statement,  statement  of  changes   in  equity  and  notes  (pages  F-­‐82  to  F-­‐91)  for  the  year  then  ended.  

Board  of  Directors’  Responsibility  

The  Board  of  Directors  is  responsible  for  the  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  Swiss  law  and  the  company’s  articles  of  incorporation.  This  responsibility  includes  designing,  implementing  and  maintaining  an  internal  control  system  relevant  to  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  that  are  free  from  material  misstatement,  whether  due  to  fraud  or   error.   The   Board   of   Directors   is   further   responsible   for   selecting   and   applying   appropriate   accounting   policies   and  making  accounting  estimates  that  are  reasonable  in  the  circumstances.  

Auditor’s  Responsibility  

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  financial  statements  based  on  our  audit.  We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Swiss   law  and  Swiss  Auditing  Standards.  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  from  material  misstatement.    

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.  The  procedures  selected  depend  on  the  auditor’s  judgment,  including  the  assessment  of  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial  statements,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error.   In  making  those  risk  assessments,  the  auditor  considers  the  internal  control  system  relevant  to  the  entity’s  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  in  order  to  design  audit  procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances,  but  not  for  the  purpose  of  expressing  an  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  entity’s  internal  control  system.  An  audit  also  includes  evaluating  the  appropriateness  of  the  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting  estimates  made,   as   well   as   evaluating   the   overall   presentation   of   the   financial   statements.  We   believe   that   the   audit   evidence  we   have  obtained  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  audit  opinion.  

Opinion  

In  our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  for  the  year  ended  31  December  2015  comply  with  Swiss  law  and  the  company’s  articles  of  incorporation.    

Emphasis  of  Matter  

Without   qualifying   our   opinion,   we   draw   your   attention   to   note   3.3   to   the   financial   statements   disclosing   the   existence   of   a  significant  uncertainty  relating  to  the  valuation  of  the  investments  in  subsidiaries.
