8 2018 Annual Report 9
Dear shareholders,
We are pleased to announce that the year 2018 has been a pivotal year for Orascom Development Holding (ODH). We have successfully completed the turnaround of the group, moved towards a destination-based strategy, hence taking out redundant structures and layers of management, restructured our balance sheet maintaining focus on profit-driven growth.
As the business evolves and grows, the biggest challenge for any company is to ensure smooth leadership succession and cultural continuity. In this respect, we are very proud of what Orascom Development has achieved over the past couple of years, both operationally and financially, whilst maintaining the essence of the Group.
2018 has been an eventful year, and our employees around the world have once again shown a great commitment to drive the success of our company. The implementation of our destination-based strategy has positively impacted all of our destinations’ KPIs and financials and has definitely helped with the rapid construction and development of new destinations.
Our strategy was well received by the markets: ODH, our holding company listed on the Swiss Stock Exchange (SIX), was ranked the third top performer of the SMI index with a 35.5% share price improvement last year. In turn, ODE, our largest Egyptian subsidiary listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange, was the best performing stock in its industry with a 48.2% annual share price increase and has also successfully entered the main EGX 30 Index.
StrategicPillarsofRestructuring
The first strategic pillar dealt with re-organizing of operations from business segments to a destination-based structure, transferring more authority and responsibility to each destination. We are glad to say that we hired highly competent executive managers this year and now every destination has its own CEO, focusing on monetizing its land bank in the most efficient way under the overall strategic direction of the Group. This pillar has proven to be a full success, as evidenced by a higher increase of operational efficiency, shortening of the decision-making process and improvement of market transparency. This translated into very strong operational KPIs for each segment within the different destinations compared to FY 2017.
The second pillar related to strengthening ODH’s balance sheet through reducing our net debt in Egypt and restructuring the company’s debt in other destinations. We paid down CHF 44.4 million of debt during the period 2016-18 and we enhanced our operational performance across all our destinations. At the same time, our adjusted EBITDA reached CHF 70.2 million, representing a 110.2% increase compared to CHF 33.4 million in 2017. As a result, our net debt/adjusted EBITDA went down from 14.7x in 2016 to only 3.3x in 2018. In 2019, we are planning to reduce an additional CHF 48 million of debt in Egypt by using the proceeds of the non-core asset sales program that we successfully closed in 2018 and also our excess cash from operations. In 2018, we sold four hotels for an EV of CHF 104 million, we also sold Tamweel Group for total equity of CHF 20 million.
The third strategic pillar implied the leveraging of ODH’s brand. The Group has successfully built on its strong positioning in the Egyptian market and launched our “O West” destination, marking our first entry in the “first home” market in Egypt. The sales of “O West” are very promising, demand and interest from our clients is very strong. The latter reconfirms ODH’s position as the market leader in building fully integrated towns, benefiting from its solid brand leadership and unique community management experience.
2018results
Stellarperformance
The Group ended the year on solid grounds with strong operational and financial results across all business segments. Our operations continued to improve during FY 2018, reflecting our focus on profitable growth and margin expansion. We were able to reach a new net real estate sales record of CHF 200.6 million, increased revenues by 39.2% to CHF 340.3 million in FY 2018 vs. CHF 244.4 million in FY 2017 and more than doubled our adjusted EBITDA to CHF 70.2 million vs. CHF 33.4 million and a margin of 20.6% vs. 13.7% in FY 2017. Net Debt to adjusted EBITDA reached 3.3x in FY 2018, down from 8.2x in FY 2017 and 14.7x in FY 2016.
The net loss was reduced to CHF 37.3 million in FY 2018 vs. CHF 41.1 million in FY 2017 despite the CHF 16.5 million FX losses resulting from the sale of the Citadel Azur Hotel in May 2018.

10 2018 Annual Report 11
Trophy tour in March 2018, with more than 1,000 attendees including football stars, media celebrities and public figures. We also continued to host our successful yearly events: The International Open Squash Championship in April 2018 for men and women and the El Gouna Polo event. Additionally, In September 2018, we successfully hosted the 2nd edition of the El Gouna Film Festival, with more than 1,500 attendees. In Hawana Salalah, Oman, in January 2018 we opened Hawana Salalah Aqua Park, the first Aqua Park in Oman.
Jebel Sifah, Oman is continually cementing its position as Muscat’s premier getaway destination offering premium facilities. In December 2018, Jebel Sifah hosted the MENA region’s 1st Spartan TRIFECTA event with more than 3,500 participants. Other events, which took place at the destination, were the Sifah Stock Music Festival, Stage 4 of the Tour of Oman Race and the National Obstacle Series. In Montenegro, we opened the Luštica Bay Marina along with the 1,000-sqm-retail area. Revenues increased by a healthy 33% to CHF 35.9 million in FY 2018 signaling more growth as our destinations reach critical mass.
Outlook2019:aimingforsubstantiallyhigherrevenuesandprofits
After the successful implementation of the first phase of the turnaround strategy along with the adaption of the destination-based structure across the board, the Group now has more visibility of the performance of each destination and is, thus, in a much more comfortable position to start providing guidance.
In 2019, ODH is targeting revenues of CHF 400 million and adjusted EBITDA within the range of CHF 74 million – CHF 77 million. These estimates exclude the contribution of Citadel Azur, Royal Azur, Club Azur hotels and Tamweel Group that the Group has identified as non-core assets and has sold in 2018. Thus, when FY 2018 figures are normalized for those assets, the targeted 2019
revenues represent a 25% growth from CHF 319 million in FY 2018 and adjusted EBITDA represents 19%-24% growth from CHF 62 million in FY 2018.
The Group also projects new real estate net sales of CHF 445 million – CHF 470 million compared to CHF 200.6 million in 2018, capitalizing on its “first home” project “O West” and building on the positive momentum of El Gouna and Makadi Heights, Jebal Sifah, Hawana Salalah and Luštica Bay.
We would like to end our note with a special thanks to all our employees for their outstanding performance this year. The Group would not have achieved these excellent results without their tremendous efforts and strong support for the Group’s objectives. We also thank our real estate homeowners and travelers to our towns for their continuous loyalty and trust.
As always, special thanks go to our valued shareholders for their confidence, guidance, and support. All of the achieved has only been possible because you care deeply about our Group’s strategic vision. Your professionalism, dedication and commitment are an inspiration to all of us, and, on behalf of the Board and the Executive Committee, we would like to thank you all for this hard work and look forward to an even more positive result in 2019.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in our company!
The cash flow from operations reached CHF 56.2 million, an 87.3% increase over the same period last year. The solid operational performance and the debt restructuring in Egypt and Oman, which will lead to reduced financing costs in the future, strongly confirms that the Group is on its way back to profitability.
GroupRealEstate:cashengineforgrowth
The real estate segment continued its outstanding operational and financial results across all our destinations and managed to exceed our real estate target of the year. Net sales increased by 59% to CHF 200.6 million in FY 2018 vs. CHF 126.2 million in FY 2017. Growth in sales was driven by the increase in pricing and unit sales across all our destinations. 839 units were contracted representing a growth of 60% in 2018. Revenues increased by 86.7% to CHF 130.9 million vs. CHF 70.1 million in FY 2017 on the back of increased deliveries in El Gouna, Montenegro, Hawana Salalah and Jebal Sifah. Total deferred revenue plus deferred interest income from real estate that is yet to be recognized reached CHF 235.7 million, and total receivables increased by 55.7% to CHF 166.6 million. Both figures exclude new sales at O West, which will show in the Q1 2019 results.
In El Gouna, Egypt net real estate sales exceeded our target for the year with a 40.8% increase to CHF 111.4 million vs. CHF 79.1 million in FY 2017. Makadi Heights, Egypt - our new rising destination since April 2018 - continued to deliver strong sales closing the year at CHF 13.7 million vs. only CHF 0.1 million in FY 2017. In Jebel Sifah, Oman net real estate sales improved by 46.3% to CHF 17.3 million in 2018 vs. CHF 11.8 million in 2017. In Hawana Salalah, net real estate sales increased by 42.4% amounting to CHF 23.5 million in FY 2018 compared to CHF 16.5 million in FY 2017. In Luštica Bay, Montenegro net real estate sales surged by 97.7% to CHF
34 million vs. CHF 17.2 million in FY 2017. In Andermatt, Switzerland, net real estate sales doubled to CHF 110 million in FY 2018 compared to the same period last year. The sales figure included a bulk deal in the amount of CHF 50.5 million.
As already mentioned above, we successfully launched O West on a soft, pre-sale basis in December 2018 and sold CHF 126.3 million in only two weeks. The sold units included standalone villas, twin and town houses. The official launch started in March 2019 and included a wide range of apartments. The first launch phase comprised 340 units with a total inventory of CHF 68.9 million and an average selling price of CHF 1,045 per m2 fully finished.
GroupHotels:leveragingtherecoveryoftourism
Hotels continued to record impressive y-o-y growth in 2018. The disciplined execution of our strategy to improve products and services combined with a focused effort to maximize revenue opportunities has impacted our hotels positively, including the newly added rooms across all our destinations. Revenues increased by 19.2% to CHF 156.7 million, accompanied by a 32.1% increase in GOP to CHF 59.2 million in FY 2018 vs. CHF 44.8 million in FY 2017. The segment’s adjusted EBITDA continued its upward trend and increased by 32.6% to CHF 54.1 million vs. CHF 40.8 million in FY 2017.
Starting with El Gouna, the growing demand on the Red Sea, supported by a fully-fledged marketing campaign in the German-speaking markets, resulted in a boost in room rates. While the occupancy increased from 75% in FY 2017 to reach an impressive 80% in FY 2018, TRevPAR has also increased by 34% to CHF 67 in FY 2018 compared to CHF 50 in FY 2017. We finished the renovation of two hotels in 2018 and are working on the remaining four to be finalized in 2019. We have also signed an agreement with Thomas
Cook to develop a new 100 rooms’ luxury high-end hotel branded “Casa Cook”. The deal also includes the rebranding of the Arena Inn Hotel, to be converted into a Cook's Club Hotel, both to become operational in October 2019.
Our hotels in Hawana Salalah continued to maintain their positive performance since the beginning of the year. In 2018, the revenues increased by 24% to CHF 41.4 million vs. CHF 33.5 million in FY 2017 accompanied by a 44.2% increase in GOP to CHF 15 million vs. 10.4 million in FY 2017. Additionally, Salalah Hotels reported a TRevPAR growth of 6% from CHF 117 in 2017 to CHF 124. Last but not least, we completed the Fanar Hotel & Residences’ expansion, adding 177 rooms making it the largest hotel in Salalah. Its operation began at the end of December 2018 with 90% occupancy.
In Montenegro, The Chedi Luštica Bay opened its doors in mid-July 2017 attracting great interest among local and regional stakeholders. Operating only for around 60 days of the area’s high season, the Hotel reported CHF 2.0 million of revenues, occupancy of 48% and TRevPAR of CHF 159.
In Andermatt, Switzerland, the Chedi Andermatt revenues increased by 17.5% to CHF 26.9 million vs. 22.0 million in FY 2017. In December 2018, we opened the Radisson Blu Reussen Hotel with 224 rooms, together with the Gotthard Residences.
GroupTownManagement:streamliningoperationsandimprovingprofitability
The town management segment continued to grow as a result of the successful restructuring implemented throughout the year. We focused on streamlining operations, eliminating waste, improving profitability and quality of service, in addition to increasing the all year-round activities and events in Gouna and Oman. In El Gouna, we hosted the FIFA World Cup

With a total land bank of approximately 1.57 million sqm, Andermatt is situated at 1,440 meters above sea level and lies approximately 1.5 hours by car from Zurich and 2 hours from Milan. Its central location results in excellent connections to the major national and international transport routes.
Every building in Andermatt Swiss Alps Development has been individually designed by one of over 30 selected Swiss and international architects to create a beautiful and eclectic appearance for the master-planned resort. To date eight apartment houses are finished and handed over. With the completion of the Radisson Blu Hotel Reussen and the Gotthard Residences Andermatt Reuss has introduced a recreational Piazza Gottardo. Around the Piazza Gottardo opened stores and restaurants. To maintain a perfectly harmonious and peaceful environment the village centre will be a car free zone and enough underground parking spaces are provided for visitors and residents.
The new accommodation and sports facilities mean that whether you seek adrenalin or relaxation your needs are catered for in the most spectacular surroundings, from an ecologically designed 18-hole golf course meeting international tournament standards ideal for outdoor summer activities, to modernized ski facilities linking up with the neighboring ski area of Sedrun to form a 120-kilometer ski domain. The highly integrated infrastructure and state of the art facilities also makes the village the perfect location for cultural events and congresses.
The Group has a share of interest of 49 % in Andermatt Swiss Alps AG, remains committed to the project and will benefit from any future upside. In June 2018 ASA again successfully sold bonds in the amount of CHF 50 million which will help in funding the necessary next steps of the development.
The innovative and sustainable Andermatt Reuss – a part of the traditional Swiss alpine village of Andermatt – became an attractive year-round destination.

The master plan of the project reflects a modern oasis of harmony characterized by a western, Moroccan cultural blend. Home to world class hotels, mix of villas and apartments, atmospheric riads, and even customizable mansions in the Kosour neighborhood, Chbika, like all other Orascom Development signature towns, will feature state-of-art facilities including a marina, shops, dining outlets, as well as a medina-style handcraft center and a medical facility.
The project has been granted the status of new integrated tourism zone. The project company (Oued Chbika) has the right to acquire and transfer freehold title to the land area of approximately 5 million sqm (Phase 1) and approximately 10 million sqm (Phase 2) subject to certain conditions, except for golf areas which will be subject to long term lease agreements. The project company has the right to transfer its rights under the development agreement subject to certain conditions.
According to the development agreement signed with the Moroccan government and in line with its vision of sustainable development and having scored the Chbika project in the Moroccan 2020 vision for sustainable tourism. We aim at developing a tourist dynamic engine of social and cultural development in the provinces of southern Morocco, incorporating local people.
Coming across a location of such untapped beauty along with the unique landscape of the ocean, mountains and sand harmoniously co-existing; has contributed to the molding of Chbika’s architecture with the natural surroundings. Chbika is ideally located approximately 400 km south of Agadir directly in front of the Canary Island of Fuerteventura on the Atlantic Ocean, with a total land area of 15.0 million sqm.

WorkmethodsoftheBoardofDirectorsanditscommittees
Invitations to attend meetings of the Board of Directors or the committees are extended by the respective chairman or secretary. Any member of the Board of Directors or a committee may request the chairman of the Board of Directors or the committee, respectively, to convene a meeting. The members of the Board of Directors and the committees are provided with all necessary supporting material before a meeting is held, enabling them to prepare for discussion of the relevant agenda items.
The Board of Directors meets as often as business requires, but as a general rule at least six times per year. In average, meetings therefore take place approximately every two months. Pursuant to their respective Charters, the committees of the Board of Directors shall in principle convene at least once (in the case of the Nomination & Compensation Committee) or twice a year (in the case of the Audit Committee), but can be summoned by their respective chairman as often as the business requires. Following meetings of the committees, the committee chairman informs the Board of Directors at its next meeting about the matters discussed in the committee meeting.
In the 2018 financial year, the Board of Directors convened for eight meetings, and passed two circular resolutions. Of the eight
meetings, three were held as physical meetings and five meetings were held by telephone conference. The Audit Committee convened for six meetings and the Nomination & Compensation Committee convened for three meetings.
Meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees may, upon invitation by the chairman, be attended by members of Executive Management. Members of Executive Management do not have the right to attend meetings at which decisions are taken regarding their compensation, or otherwise to participate in the decision-making process. As a rule, the Company's CEO and CFO attend meetings (or parts thereof) of the Board of Directors, which was the case in seven (for the CEO) and six (for the CFO) of the eight meetings held in the reporting year. In addition, other members of the Executive Management were present at three meetings. Further, the Company's CFO attended all six meetings of the Audit Committee in the reporting year. No advisors attended any meetings of the Board of Directors or the committees, other than representatives of the Company's auditors who attended all of the six meetings of the Audit Committee in 2018. The Company's auditors are also in regular contact with the chairman of the Audit Committee and have the right to have items added to the agenda.
Definitionofareasofresponsibility
The Board of Directors has entrusted the preparation and the execution of its decisions and the supervision of certain tasks to the permanent committees. The Board of Directors has delegated the management of the Company's business to the CEO, who may further delegate any of his duties and competencies to Executive Management and other members of the Company's management although the CEO remains fully responsible for all duties and competencies delegated to him by the Board of Directors.
In addition to the inalienable duties of the Board of Directors pursuant to statutory law (Art. 716a para. 1 of the Swiss Code of Obligations) and the duties of the Board of Directors’ permanent committees (as described above), certain important matters have been excluded from such delegation to the CEO and thus remain reserved to the Board of Directors, including the following:
• Issuance of securities or other capital market transactions in excess of a certain threshold;
• Granting of material loans;
• Approval of material investments, acquisitions, divestments and disposals;
• Provision of material guarantees, suretyships, liens, pledges and other securities;
• Approval of material inter-company agreements;
• Decisions with respect to conflicts of interests and related party transactions.
Informationandcontrolinstrumentsvis-a-visseniormanagement
To ensure that comprehensive information is provided to the Board of Directors on the performance of the functions delegated by it, members of Executive Management are regularly invited to attend meetings of the Board, or to participate when individual agenda items are discussed, as described above. Individual members of the Board of Directors also support the Executive Management from time to time in various projects. Furthermore, members of the Board of Directors cultivate an informal exchange of ideas with the Company's management.
The Company’s management has been managing to enhance the internal governance by increasing the capacity of the internal audit functions. During the year under review, PwC Muscat has been appointed to provide the services of internal audit in Oman. In general, the internal audit function performs ad-hoc assignments in addition to the pre-planned assignments. For each assignment, a report of major findings is presented to and discussed with the management on the entity level, and corrective actions are agreed.
Executive Management meetings, chaired by the CEO, are held at least on a monthly basis in which performance of operating projects is reviewed alongside the budget and previous financial year. Key performance indicators are reviewed and updates on new projects, whether off-plan or under construction, are shared and future steps agreed upon.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 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 were traded at the EGX Egyptian Exchange. One EDR represents 1/20 of an ODH share. On 1 March 2017, the Extraordinary General Meeting of ODH approved the Board of Directors' proposal regarding the voluntary delisting of the Egyptian Depositary Receipts (EDRs) from the Egyptian Exchange. The Board of Directors called the meeting in accordance with the requests of the relevant authorities in Egypt to present to the shareholders of the Company the proposal to approve the delisting. Based on the Extraordinary General Meeting's approval, the Company undertook all further actions required to complete the delisting of the EDRs. On 24 May 2017, the Listing Committee of the Egyptian Exchange approved the delisting, which was completed as at 30 May 2017. The majority of the EDR holders have chosen to swap their EDRs into shares of ODH that had previously been underlying the EDRs and only 9.9% out of the 189,123,620 EDRs were tendered to the Company for repurchase at a price of EGP 5.25 (CHF 0.29) per EDR or CHF 5.79 per ODH share. As a result, the Company acquired 935,486 own shares at the total value of CHF 5.4 million. The ODH shares remain listed at the SIX Swiss Exchange.
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 seven jurisdictions, with primary focus on touristic towns and recently affordable housing. The Group's diversified portfolio of destinations is spread over seven jurisdictions (Egypt, UAE, Oman, Switzerland, Morocco, Montenegro and United Kingdom), with primary focus on touristic destinations. The Group currently operates nine destinations; four in Egypt (El Gouna, Taba Heights, Fayoum Makadi, and Harram City), The Cove in the United Arab Emirates, Jebel Sifah and Salalah Beach in Oman, Luštica Bay in Montenegro and Andermatt in Switzerland.
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 (“IFRS”)
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 issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are mandatorily effective for the current year. Except for the adoption of IFRS 15, these revised Standards and the new Interpretation have not had a material effect on these consolidated financial statements. The details of the revised Standards and the new Interpretation are as follows:
Amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment – Amendments in relation to classification and measurement
Amends IFRS 2 Share- based Payment to clarify the standard in relation to the accounting for cash-settled share-based payment transactions that include a performance condition, the classification of share-based payment transactions with net settlement features, and the accounting for modifications of share-based payment transactions form cash-settled to equity-settled.
The application of these amendments has had no impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – Final version including expected loss impairment model
The Group has applied the requirements for general hedge accounting (issued in November 2013), another revised version of IFRS 9 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” (FVTOCI) measurement category for certain simple debt instruments
As the Group does not apply hedge accounting and does not measure any simple debt instruments at FVTOCI, the only requirements of IFRS 9, which are not yet applied by the Group are those on impairment of financial assets. IFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss model, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under IAS 39. The expected credit loss model requires an entity to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. In other words, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.

Impact on accumulated losses as at 1 January 2018
The following line items of the statement of financial position as at 1 January 2018 were impacted:
CHF As previously
reported IFRS
adjustment As restated
Inventories (a) 127,583,163 (17,808,854) 109,774,309
Trade and other receivables (b) 68,881,179 11,196,400 80,077,579
Other current assets (c) 45,093,158 (398,454) 44,694,704
Other current liabilities (d) (178,820,992) 12,728,051 (166,092,941)
Accumulated losses 177,726,563 (4,555,047) 173,171,516
Non-‐controlling interests (149,135,882) (1,162,096) (150,297,978)
(a) Except for land of villas, which is recognised at the point in time when the contract for the construction of the villa is signed,
revenue from construction of real estate (including land of apartment units) is recognised over time. As the output method used to measure construction progress was changed from a milestone approach to a percentage of completion approach, revenue is recognised as construction progresses and not upon reaching certain construction stages. In accordance with IFRS 15, revenue is recognized at the end of each period based on the percentage of completion even if the construction milestones used previously or revenue recognition are not yet achieved. Therefore, revenue is recognised earlier compared to the superseded standards. As a larger portion of the real estate units under construction was realised as revenue on transition to the new standard, the cost of sales recognised to that date have increased as well, leading to a reduction in inventory.
(b) Revenue adjustment reflected directly in retained earnings, due to transition to IFRS 15, has led to increase in trade receivables.
(c) Following the same concept of decrease in inventory, capitalized sales commissions were derecognised due to the earlier recognition of revenue.
(d) As construction progress is now calculated according to the percentage of completion method and not according to progress based on milestones approach, construction progress since the last construction milestone is also recognised as revenue; hence decreasing deferred revenue which was recognised upon contracting the customer.
Impact on statement of comprehensive income for 2018
In 2018, using the new accounting policy for revenue recognition in accordance with IFRS 15 instead of the superseded revenue standards resulted in additional revenue of CHF 40.2 million and additional gross profit of CHF 14.7 million.
2.2 Standards and Interpretations in issue but not yet effective
At the date of authorisation of these consolidated 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 for annual periods beginning on or after the dates indicated below, with earlier application permitted.
IFRS 16 Leases 1 January 2019
Amendments to IFRS 3 Definition of a business 1 January 2020
Amendments to IFRS 9 Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation 1 January 2019
Amendments to IAS 1 Definition of material 1 January 2020
Amendments to IAS 8 Definition of material 1 January 2020
Amendments to IAS 19 Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement 1 January 2019
Amendments to IAS 28 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an investor and its Associate 1 January 2019
Various Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2015-‐2017 Cycle 1 January 2019
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments 1 January 2019
Trade and other receivables (notes 20 and 23), which are measured at amortised cost, are mainly impacted by the impairment provisions of IFRS 9. The Group applies the simplified approach to recognise lifetime expected credit losses for its trade and other receivables as required or permitted by IFRS. All other financial assets measured at amortized cost are considered having a low credit risk. Hence the Group applies the low credit simplified approach to measure the 12-month ECLs.
As the Group does not apply hedge accounting and does not measure any simple debt instruments at FVTOCI, the only requirements of IFRS 9, which are not yet applied by the Group are those on impairment of financial assets. IFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss model, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under IAS 39. The expected credit loss model requires an entity to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. In other words, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.
Trade and other receivables (notes 20 and 23), which are measured at amortised cost, are mainly impacted by the impairment provisions of IFRS 9. The Group applies the simplified approach to recognise lifetime expected credit losses for its trade and other receivables as required or permitted by IFRS. All other financial assets measured at amortized cost are considered having a low credit risk. Hence, the Group applies the low credit simplified approach to measure the 12-month ECLs.
The first-time application of the new impairment model for financial assets did not have any impact as at 1 January 2018.
IAS 40 Investment Property – Amendments in relation to transfers of investment property
Amend IAS 40 Investment Property to state that and entity shall transfer a property to, or from, investment property when, and only when, there is evidence of a change in use. A change of use occurs if property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property. A change in management’s intentions for the use of a property by itself does not constitute evidence of a change in use. The list of examples of evidence is now presented as a non-exhaustive list of examples instead of the previous exhaustive list.
The application of these amendments has had no impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration
The interpretation addresses foreign currency transactions or parts of transactions where:
• there is consideration that is denominated or priced in a foreign currency; • the entity recognises a prepayment asset or a deferred income liability in respect of that consideration, in advance of the
recognition of the related asset, expense or income; and • the prepayment asset or deferred income liability is non-monetary.
The Interpretations Committee came to the following conclusion:
• the date of the transaction, for the purpose of determining the exchange rate, is the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary prepayment asset or deferred income liability.
• If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, a date of transaction is established for each payment or receipt.
The application of this new interpretation has had no impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In the current year, the Group has applied IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. IFRS 15 introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in IFRS 15 to deal with specific scenarios. Details of these new requirements as well as their impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements are described below.
Management of ODH decided to use the modified retrospective method, in which the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 15 of CHF 5,717,143 is recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at 1 January 2018. There was neither any impact on the statement of financial position as at 1 January 2017 nor in the statement of comprehensive income for the financial period 2017. Accordingly, ODH did not consider contracts that were completed prior to 1 January 2018.
IFRS 15 uses the terms ‘contract asset’ and ‘contract liability’ to describe what might more commonly be known as ‘accrued revenue’ and ‘deferred revenue’, however the Standard does not prohibit an entity from using alternative descriptions in the statement of financial position. Therefore, the Group has not adopted the terminology used in IFRS 15 to describe such balances. The respective amounts can be found in other assets (note 24) and other liabilities (note 34).
The Group’s accounting policies for its revenue streams are disclosed in detail in Note 3 below.

Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2015-2017 Cycle
Makes amendments to the following standards:
• IFRS 3 and IFRS 11 - The amendments to IFRS 3 clarify that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it remeasures previously held interests in that business. The amendments to IFRS 11 clarify that when an entity obtains joint control of a business that is a joint operation, the entity does not remeasure previously held interests in that business.
• IAS 12 - The amendments clarify that all income tax consequences of dividends (i.e. distribution of profits) should be recognised in profit or loss, regardless of how the tax arises.
• IAS 23 - The amendments clarify that if any specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related asset is ready for its intended use or sale, that borrowing becomes part of the funds that an entity borrows generally when calculating the capitalisation rate on general borrowings.
Management of the Group does not expect any significant changes from the amended Standards.
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
The interpretation addresses the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under IAS 12. It specifically considers:
• whether tax treatments should be considered collectively • assumptions for taxation authorities' examinations • the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates • the effect of changes in facts and circumstances
Management of the Group does not expect any significant changes from this new interpretation.
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.
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.
F-‐13
IFRS 16 Leases
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 include significant changes to the requirements for accounting by lessors.
As at 31 December 2017, the Group has non-‐cancellable operating lease commitments of CHF 3.7 million. IAS 17 does not require the recognition of any right-‐of-‐use asset or liability for future payments for these leases; instead, certain information is disclosed as operating lease in note 41. Our assessment shows that these arrangements meet the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 and therefore the Group will recognise a right-‐of-‐use asset and a corresponding liability in respect of all these leases unless they qualify for low value or short-‐term leases upon the application of IFRS 16. Even though it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the financial effect until management of the Group completes their review, the new requirements are expected to have some impact on the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
In contrast, for finance leases where the Group is a lessee and in cases where the Group is a lessor (for both operating and finance leases), management of the Group does not anticipate that the application of IFRS 16 will have a significant impact on the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
It is expected that the Group will apply the modified retrospective approach, which would mean that the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard is recognised at the date of initial application and there is no restatement of comparative information.
Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combination
The amendments in Definition of a Business:
• clarify that to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs;
• narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs by focusing on goods and services provided to customers and by removing the reference to an ability to reduce costs;
• add guidance and illustrative examples to help entities assess whether a substantive process has been acquired;

F- 142018 Annual Report13F-
Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. When the Group's share of losses of an associate exceeds the Group's interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of an associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The requirements of IAS 39 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in an associate. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with IAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
3.6 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.
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 based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product or service to a customer. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. The Group is always acting as principal in relation to its contracts with customers.
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 Revenue from the rendering of services
Hotels
Destination management
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 control has been transferred to the buyer. In general, control is transferred when the land is delivered to the buyer as from this point in time, the buyer has the ability to direct the use of the land and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits. 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.
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.
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 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.
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.

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.
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.
The exchange rates for the major foreign currencies against CHF relevant to the annual consolidated financial statements were:

3.7.2 Revenue from agreements for construction of real estate In general, the revenue is recognised either from agreements for construction of apartments or for construction of villas.
Apartments
For apartments, the performance obligations are not capable of being distinct as the customer cannot benefit from the goods and services either on their own or together with other readily available resources. The provided goods and services are dependent on each other. Therefore, the Group accounts for all goods and services defined in the contract as a single performance obligation. The “Unit” performance obligation in apartments include the “Land” as the land represents the plot's undivided share.
Since performance of the Group does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, revenue from construction of apartments is recognised over time as construction progresses.
The Group uses the percentage-‐of-‐completion method to measure the progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligations as based on management’s assessment this represents best the progress of the respective performance obligation. The contractors’ progress reports are used to measure the percentage of completion.
Villas
For villas, management of the Group considers “land” as a separate performance obligation as the customers get the ownership of a specific and defined land plot once the contract is signed and there is no more work in progress related to land itself. The second performance obligation is the construction of the villa.
For land, revenue is recognised at the point in time where land ownership is transferred to the buyer which in general is when the contract is signed.
Revenue for the second performance obligation, being the construction of the land, is recognised over time as construction progresses. The Group uses the percentage-‐of-‐completion method to measure the progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligations. as based on management’s assessment this represents best the progress of the respective performance obligation. The contractors’ progress reports are used to measure the percentage of completion.
Financing component
In Oman and Montenegro destinations, the applied milestones payment method imposes no financing component as the customer pays only when certain milestones are reached, i.e. upon the completion of relevant works.
In Egypt, the time to build a unit is approximately two years while payment is scheduled through instalments for periods longer than five years. Accordingly, the payment schedule provides the customer with a significant benefit of financing and interest revenues are accounted for in Egypt by discounting contract value.
3.7.3 Revenue from the rendering of services
Revenue from services is recognised over time in the accounting periods in which the services are rendered.
3.7.4 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.
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.

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.
3.12.3 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.
3.12.4 Income Taxes Significant judgement is required in determining liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. A current tax provision is recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is more likely than not that the Group will be required to settle that obligation. A current tax provision is measured using the single best estimate of the likely outcome approach.
3.13 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
F-‐19
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 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.
3.12 Taxation Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
3.12.1 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.
3.12.2 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.

3.17 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.
3.18 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.
3.19 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.
3.19.1 Classification of financial assets Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost (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.
In general, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables as well as amounts due from related parties are measured at amortised cost. All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.
3.19.2 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.
3.19.3 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 investment revaluation reserve. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the investments.
3.14 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 or internal valuations.
Property is only transferred to, or from, investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use. A change in use occurs when the property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use. If property becomes an investment property which is carried at fair value, any difference at the date of change in use between the carrying amount of the property and its fair value is recognised through other comprehensive income.
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.
3.15 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.
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.
3.16 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.

3.20 Financial liabilities and equity instruments 3.20.1 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.
3.20.2 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.
3.20.3 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 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.
3.21 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. However, currently the Group is not applying hedge accounting in accordance with IFRS 9.
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.
F-‐24
The Group has designated all investments in equity instruments, that are not held for trading, as at FVTOCI on initial application of IFRS 9. These are included in other financial assets.
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established. Dividends earned are recognised in profit or loss and are included in the ‘investment income’ line item.
3.19.5 Impairment of financial assets Financial assets that are measured at amortised cost are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period.
ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
In general, ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-‐months (a 12-‐month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
Loss given default (“LGD”) is an estimate of the loss arising on default. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, considering cash flows from collateral and integral credit enhancements. Further, the probability of default is determined based on historical date of cash flows from receivables. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal and external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amount in full before considering any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
For trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Impairment models used by the Group to calculate the ECL of its trade receivables are based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-‐looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
Based on Group’s business history and the time value of money concept management assumes LGD on balances overdue by more than 360 days, as at this point in time they start to impose significant risks for irregular collections and losses in real value of cash.
For trade receivables of the hotel and destination management segment, the Group has established a provision matrix that calculates the ECL by time buckets throughout 12 months before the reporting period
For trade receivable of the real estate segment, the Group has established an impairment test model that considers their long-‐term nature and subsequently calculates the ECL through the weighted probability of default, i.e. percentage of irregular clients having balances overdue more than 360 days throughout a range of 2-‐4 years before the reporting period.
For cash and cash equivalents as well as well as any other low credit items, if there are any, the Group applies the low credit risk simplification. At every reporting date, the Group evaluates whether the debt instrument is considered to have low credit risk using all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. In making that evaluation, the Group reassesses the credit rating of the financial asset.
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.
3.19.6 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.

Upon settlement of a share-‐based payment transaction in which the terms of the arrangement provide the entity with a choice of settlement, then:
– if the entity elects to settle in cash, the cash payment is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest (i.e. as a deduction from equity, except as noted in (c) below.
– if the entity elects to settle by issuing equity instruments, no further accounting is made (other than a transfer from one component of equity to another, if necessary), except as noted in (c) below.
– if the entity elects the settlement alternative with the higher fair value, as at the date of settlement, an additional expense is recognized for the excess value given (i.e. the difference between the cash paid and the fair value of the equity instruments that would otherwise have been issued, or the difference between the fair value of the equity instruments issued and the amount of cash that would otherwise have been paid, whichever is applicable.
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 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 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.
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 2018 at CHF 761,820,363 and CHF 43,629,068 respectively (31 December 2017: CHF 765,121,094 and CHF 60,822,300).
In 2018 and 2017, the impairment reviews did not result in any impairment losses of property, plant and equipment or investments in associates.
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.
F-‐26
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 Assets held for sale Non-‐current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the non-‐current asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
When a Group entity acquires a non-‐current asset (or disposal group) exclusively with a view to its subsequent disposal, it classifies the non-‐current asset (or disposal group) as held for sale at the acquisition date only if the one-‐year requirement above is met and it is highly probable that the other criteria above that are not met at that date will be met within a short period following the acquisition.
When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all of the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, regardless of whether the Group will retain a non-‐controlling interest in its former subsidiary after the sale.
Non-‐current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
When the above criteria required for the held for sale classification are no longer met, the Group ceases to classify the asset (or disposal group) as held for sale. At that date, the Group measures any non-‐current asset that ceases to be classified as held for sale (or ceases to be included in a disposal group classified as held for sale) at the lower of:
– Its carrying amount before the asset (or disposal group) was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation, amortization or revaluations that would have been recognized had the asset (or disposal group) not been classified as held for sale; and
– Its recoverable amount at the date of subsequent decision not to sell.
The Group includes any required adjustment to the carrying amount of a non-‐current asset (or disposal group), that ceases to be classified as held for sale, in profit or loss from continuing operations in the period in which the criteria of held for sale classification are no longer met. The Group presents that adjustment in the same caption in the statement of comprehensive income used to present any gain or loss recognized on the remeasurement of that non-‐current asset (or disposal group) that had been previously classified as held for sale provided that it had not met the definition of a discontinued operation upon initial classification as held-‐for-‐sale.
Comparative figures in the financial statements for prior periods presented are not restated as a result of the change in the plan to sell unless the non-‐current asset (or disposal group) had previously met the definition of a discontinued operation, in which case, the results of operations of the component previously presented in discontinued operations is reclassified and included in income from continuing operations for the prior period presented in the statement of comprehensive income. This also applies to the presentation of the statement of cash flows.
3.23 Share-‐based payment arrangements 3.23.1 Share-‐based payment transactions of the Parent Company Share-‐based payment transactions in which the terms of the arrangement provide the entity with the choice to settle the transaction in cash (or other assets) or in equity instruments issued by the entity, are accounted for as a cash-‐settled share-‐based payment transaction if, and to the extent that, the entity has incurred a liability to settle in cash or other assets, or as an equity-‐settled share-‐based payment transaction if, and to the extent that, no such liability has been incurred.
Share-‐based payment arrangements whose terms provide the Company with the choice to settle the transaction in cash or, at its discretion, in its own equity shares issued to employees are accounted for as equity-‐settled and measured at the fair value of the contingent consideration by reference to the market price of the Company's equity shares at the grant date. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equity-‐settled share-‐based payment transaction are set out in note 38.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-‐settled share-‐based payments is expensed on a straight-‐line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimate, if any, is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-‐settled share-‐based payment reserve in equity.

5 THE GROUP AND MAJOR CHANGES IN GROUP ENTITIES
The Group comprises the Parent Company and its subsidiaries operating in different countries.
There have been no major changes in the group structure since 31 December 2017 except for the following:
– Sale of non-‐controlling interests of its listed Egyptian subsidiary ODE (refer to note 18.2 for further details)
– Disposal of its Egyptian hotels “Citadel Azur Hotel”, “Royal Azur Hotel” and “Club Azur Hotel” including a land plot in Makadi (refer to notes 18.2, 26 and 35 for further details)
– Disposal of Tamweel Group (refer to notes 18.2, 26 and 35 for further details)
The group controls its subsidiaries directly and indirectly.
6 REVENUE
An analysis of the Group’s revenue for the year is as follows:
CHF 2018 2017
Revenue from the rendering of services and rental income 209,431,966 174,370,187
Revenue from agreements for construction of Real Estate and construction revenue
126,605,007 69,523,826
Revenue on sale of land 4,299,248 551,232
TOTAL 340,336,221 244,445,245
Of the total revenue from the rendering of services and rental income of CHF 209.4 million, CHF 163.8 million are recognised at point in time and CHF 45.6 million are recognised over time.
Of the total revenue from agreements for construction of Real Estate and construction revenue of CHF 126.6 million, CHF 116.8 million is recognised over time and CHF 9.8 million are recognised at point in time.
Revenue on sale of land is entirely recognised over time.
The transaction price allocated to (partially) unsatisfied performance obligation in relation to construction of real estate is nil. As permitted under the transitional provision in IFRS 15, the transaction price allocated to (partially) unsatisfied performance obligations as of 31 December 2017 is not disclosed.
Management expects that 100% of the transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied contracts as of the year ended 2018 will be recognised as revenue during the next reporting period.
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.
F-‐28
4.2.2 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 761,820,363 (31 December 2017: CHF 765,121,094). 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 experiences with comparable assets. A change in the useful life of any asset may affect the amount of depreciation that is to be recognized in profit or loss for future periods.
4.2.3 Provisions The carrying amount of provisions at the end of the current reporting period is CHF 62,564,805 (31 December 2017: CHF 65,558,335). This amount is based on estimates of future costs for infrastructure completion, legal cases, government fees, employee benefits and other charges including taxes in relation to 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.
4.2.4 Impairment of financial assets The carrying amount of the allowance for trade and other receivables at the end of the current period is CHF 16,973,569.
For trade and other receivables of the hotel and destination management segments, the probability of default is based on loss percentages of various time buckets whereas for trade and other receivables real estate segments the probability of default is based on the percentage of clients paying irregularly. For all other financial assets measured at amortised cost, a 12-‐month ECL using the low credit risk simplification was used
The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast economic conditions and ECLs is a significant estimate. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic conditions. The Group’s historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of customer’s actual default in the future.
Refer to note 37.9 for further details on the impairment calculation of financial assets.
4.2.5 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 2018 is CHF 7,328,798 (31 December 2017: CHF 7,500,868).
The fair values at 31 December 2018 were determined based on an internal valuation model. 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.
4.2.6 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 2018, no impairment (2017: none) was made in relation to inventory of development projects.
4.2.7 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.
4.2.8 Liquidity shortages and related uncertainties For further details on management’s plans to manage liquidity shortages and related uncertainty please refer to note 25.1.
4.2.9 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 42.1. Due to the complexity of the projects and the ongoing negotiations, estimation of the contingent liability involves a high degree of uncertainty.

Non-‐current assets exclude investments in associates, financial instruments and deferred tax assets.
7.5 Additional information on segment results Total segment result of CHF 76.5 million (2017: CHF 38.0 million) mainly increased due to the following:
-‐ There was a significant increase in the real estate and construction segment due to the adoption of IFRS 15 and the resulting changes in accounting policies (see notes 2.1 and 3.7 for further details) as well as due to more units which were delivered in Oman, Egypt and Montenegro compared to prior year period.
-‐ The Hotel segment continued to produce impressive year on year growth in 2018. The growing demand on tourism to Egypt, in general, and the Red Sea, in particular, as well as the disciplined execution of the product improvement strategy and the focused yielding methodologies, collectively lead to higher ARRs, setting a strong base for a notable bottom line growth.
In 2018, the Group’s Hotels reported a revenue growth of 19% going from CHF 131.1 million to CHF 156.5 million (year-‐on-‐year). Supported by a flow-‐through hike of 3ppt to exceed the 34%, the Hotel report a GOP growth of 32%, going from CHF 44.8 million to CHF 59.2 million in 2018. El Gouna continues to be the biggest GOP contributor (55%) reporting a GOP growth of 39% going from CHF 23.3 million to CHF 32.5 million. The Hotels in Oman record the highest growth levels, with a GOP growth of over 41% going from CHF 10.8 million to CHF 15.2 million in 2018. In the UAE, despite the challenging economic conditions, the Cove maintained its positive momentum reporting a slight GOP growth going from CHF 11.0 million in 2017 to CHF 11.4 million in (year-‐on-‐year). Similarly, the for long challenged Taba Heights continues its steady progress towards achieving a break even result, with losses minimized to CHF 0.3 million in 2018.
Further, in 2018, the Group announced the opening of 2 new hotels in Europe. In Montenegro, The Chedi Luštica Bay (111 rooms) which was officially opened in July 2017, reporting an overall occupancy rate of 48%.

Tax losses in Parent Company (expiry 2023) (i) 50,020,753 -‐
Temporary differences in subsidiaries (ii) 109,865,746 90,070,655
(i) At 31 December 2018, the Parent Company’s tax losses amounted to CHF 2,048,059,051 which mainly related to tax losses
caused by impairment charges recognized on investments as result of the original restructuring of the Group. The historical cost value of these investments was the fair value of the investments at the date 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. Therefore, and unchanged to prior year, all tax losses accumulated in the Parent Company which amounted to CHF 2,048,059,051 at 31 December 2018 were treated as unrecognized deferred tax assets.
(ii) At 31 December 2018, the Group has not recognised deferred tax assets for gains recognized at the subsidiaries level on intercompany land sales which took place in 2010. During 2018, 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.
14 EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings from continuing operations attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. As the Company does not have any dilutive potential, the basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.
The earnings from continuing operations and weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:
CHF 2018 2017
EARNINGS (for basic and diluted earnings per share)
(Loss)/profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent (41,461,611) (41,361,129)

17.1 Allocation of goodwill to cash-‐generating units Annual test for impairment
An impairment test of goodwill was performed by the Group to assess the recoverable amount of its goodwill. No impairment was recorded as 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:
CHF Segment 2018 2017
Hotel companies * Hotels 2,810,549 2,829,971
2,810,549 2,829,971
*Each subsidiary considered separately
Hotels
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 five-‐year period with an average discount rate of 23.5% per annum (2017: 21.9% per annum) was used for the value in use calculation. The discount rate is based on a risk free post-‐tax interest rate of 7.34% (the pre-‐tax risk free rate used is 9.17%; applying the 20% Egyptian tax rate for sovereign bonds, the post-‐tax risk free rate of 7.34% resulted), a beta of 1.24 (2017: 1.3) as well as a risk premium of 14.42% (2017: 8%). For the terminal value calculation, a terminal growth rate of 3% (2017: 2%) 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 based on their business forecasts, 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 2018 were determined based on an internal valuation model performed by Group management. 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 23.5% (cost of equity). For the terminal value a perpetual growth rate of 2% was used. In 2017, an average discount rate of 21.9% 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,JPTD and RSCD 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 (2017: none).
(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.

TOTAL 118,523,819 127,583,163
(i) This amount includes real estate construction work under progress. The real estate units are sold off plan. The main reasons
for the decrease in inventory compared to 31 December 2017 are adjustment due to the first-‐time adoption of the new revenue standard (note 2.1) as well as completed and delivered units mainly in Egypt and Montenegro in 2018. For further details on the net realisable value of construction work in progress refer to note 4.2.6.
(ii) In 2008, the finance leases between ODE 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, ODE 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, ODE 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 ODE.
(iii) This amount includes hotels inventory of CHF 13.8 million (2017: CHF 15.2 million) as well as completed but unsold units of CHF 9.5 million (2017: CHF 8.9 million)
In 2018 and 2017, no inventory was written down.

(i) Trade and other receivables increased by CHF 13.5 million due to reclassification from non-‐current receivables as well as due to increased operating activities. The increase was partly netted of by foreign currency translation losses due to the devaluation of the Egyptian Pound (note 28.6). 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 customer’s default.

For details on the calculation of the loss allowance, refer to note 37.9.
The decrease in non-‐current receivables is mainly due to reclassifications within the real estate segment as well as foreign currency exchange losses.
Receivables with a carrying amount of CHF 11.2million (2017: CHF 13.4 million) have been pledged to secure borrowings.

result in total cash proceeds of CHF 27.4 million (for further details refer to note 35). Also, ODH through its Egyptian subsidiary Orascom Development Egypt (ODE) has signed the sale contract for all of its stake of 87% in Tamweel Group at a total equity valuation of the equivalent of approximately CHF 20 million (for further details refer to note 26(ii)). In addition to this sale, the Group has also sold its 100% stake in "Citadel Azur Hotel" located in Sahl Hashish, Egypt, for an EV of CHF 48.4 million (for further details refer to note 26). Also, in April 2018, an 8.2% stake of ODE was successfully sold to a set of strategic investors for a total of approximately CHF 32.7 million (note 6).
Those sale transactions will further strengthen our financing position and solidify our thesis and will strengthen our balance sheet moving forward and will be utilized for the expansion plans that are needed in Oman and Montenegro which will help us to continue invest our capital to drive growth and prioritize our time and resources to build a stronger and sustainable organization.
In April 2019, the Chairman signed a new letter of commitment to avail up to CHF 15 million until the end of December 2020. Of the amount previously committed in April 2018, a total amount of CHF 5.3 million was drawn-‐down by the Group until the end of December 2018. Management believes that these plans are sufficient to substantially mitigate the liquidity risk.

(i) Disposal of Royal and Makadi
During 2017, ODE, the largest Egyptian subsidiary of the Group, has signed the final offer for the sale of 100% of its equity stake in Makadi Gardens, Royal Azur and Club Azur (“Royal and Makadi”).
A contract was signed with a related party at an amount of USD 24.2 million (CHF 23.8 million) and all required procedures to finalize the sale and transfer of ownership of the Royal company were finalized in Q4 2018. As a result, ODE lost control on Royal for Investment and Touristic and derecognised the disposal group excluding the Makadi garden hotel from its financial statements as of December 2018.
The required procedures to finalize the sale of the Makadi garden hotel are still in process. Therefore, this part of the disposal group is still classified as disposal group for the year ended December 2018.
The disposal group does not qualify as discontinued operation as it is neither separate major line of business nor geographical area of operations.
(ii) Disposal of Tamweel
In the second half of 2016, the Board of Directors decided to sell its stake in Tamweel Group companies (“Tamweel”) and management has engaged a third party as sell side advisor. On 24 May 2018, ODE, the largest Egyptian subsidiary of the Group, signed the final sale contract for all its stake in Tamweel at a value of EGP 360 million (CHF 19.7 million) to a consortium of investors. The consortium includes (Ebtikar for Financial Investment S.A.E (related parties), TCV and Acquire).
As per the terms and conditions stated in the sale contract, which was approved by the ordinary general assembly of ODE on 24 June 2018, the agreement became effective for both parties during November 2018. The company initiated the share transfer and sent the instructions to the broker to be finalized. ODE also notified the Egyptian stock exchange authority. The sale contract stated also restrictions on ODE which prevent the company from taking any managerial or operational decisions related to Tamweel management. As a result, ODE lost control over Tamweel and derecognised the disposal group upon the completion of all the conditions precedents and depositing the cash proceeds in the escrow account prior to 31 December 2018. Transfer of title is still subject to regulatory approvals.
Tamweel does not qualify as discontinued operation as it is neither a separate major line of business nor a geographical area of operations.

(i) Advance to suppliers relates to advances paid in Oman, Egypt and Montenegro. The increase is mainly due to increases in advances in Montenegro and Oman.
(ii) This amount is due from employees and management team including executive board members as a result of receiving two million ODE shares in 2007. These shares were previously issued based on a general assembly resolution in ODE dated 13 February 2006 authorizing the company to issue 2 million shares at par to be used to allocate to employees and management team (see note 38). All 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. As 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 264,825(2017: 177,893) which is due from employees and management team including executive board members and a residual provision of CHF 264,825 (2017: CHF 177,893). All other amounts due were netted off.
(iii) These other currents assets in the total amount of CHF 39.4 million are considered financial assets in accordance with IFRS 9 (note 37.3). None of these financial assets are overdue or impaired.
25 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

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 ODE, 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 39. 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”.

Balance at end of year (72,519,921) (98,984,339)
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 (ODE) and the new holding company (ODH). Following this acquisition through exchange of equity instruments, ODH became the parent of ODE 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 (ODE) 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 (ODE) 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.

31.1 Summary of borrowing arrangements The weighted average contractual effective interest rate for all credit facilities and loans is 9.25% (2017: 8.75%). 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 37.10.1.
(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 2018 is 6.56% (2017: 10.78%).
(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 248.8 million (2017: CHF 183.0 million) and receivables with a carrying amount of CHF 11.2million (2017: CHF 13.4 million) have been pledged to secure borrowings (see notes 15 and 20).
In 2018, borrowings decreased by CHF 2.4 million mainly due to the disposal of Mozn (CHF 17.6 million). The decrease was partly set-‐off by to new loan agreements in Oman, measurement of modification of financial liabilities in Egypt and sale and lease back agreements with Tamweel,
31.2 Loan agreements
31.2.1 Syndication loan agreement
In 2016, ODE, an Egyptian subsidiary, signed a syndication agreement with all its short-‐term lenders while subsequently signing a common terms and inter-‐creditor agreement (CTIA) with all lenders (including both the short-‐term lenders and exiting medium term lenders). The syndication agreement groups all short-‐term lenders under one contract and is rescheduling the debt from short term loans (overdraft lines) to one single medium-‐term loan with a door to door tenor of 8.5 years from the date of signing the CTIA. The CTIA is a document that governs the terms of all ODE loans (the newly signed syndication agreement and the existing bilateral medium-‐term loans) so that terms are unified except for the collateral structure which is unique to each individual legal document.
It is worth to mention that the previously mentioned cash proceeds from the ODE relisting was used to pay down the bank debt balances of ODE in 2016 on a pro-‐rata basis and that ODE rescheduled all its existing bilateral medium-‐term loans to loans with a door to door tenor of 7.5 years from the date of signing the CTIA.
All ODE loans after the signed transaction were granted a 3-‐years grace period of loan principal repayment from 30 June 2016 and the ability to capitalize the interest expense for the full year 2016 as well as to capitalize the interest expense for the first half year of 2017.
In 2018, all conditions required to effect the terms under both loan agreements were finalized, accordingly, the effectiveness letter has been received from the inter-‐creditor agent confirming the effectiveness of both agreements on 14 May 2018. This led to a reclassification of loans from current to non-‐current borrowings.
According to CTIA, all interest rates of loans granted to ODE were unified at 5.75% over 6 month libor rate for foreign currency borrowings, and 3% over CBE corridor lending rate for EGP borrowings.
CTIA includes a specified mechanism for dividends distribution upon payment of all Interest and installment previously due in addition to the next upcoming interest and instalment due after the cash dividends. Each bank holds the collateral structure which is unique to each individual legal document.
31.2.2 Common Terms Agreement
In Q4 2018, Salalah Investment and Tourism Development, an Omani subsidiary, signed two long term loan (LTL) agreements with two different lenders with a door to door tenor of 14 years including 1-‐year grace period of loan principal repayment, while subsequently signing a common terms agreement (CTA) with both lenders which is a document that governs the terms of all both LTLs so that terms are unified except for the collateral structure which is unique to each individual legal document.
All previous loans and facilities were fully repaid and settled in Q4 2018.

The consolidated statement of changes in equity includes a balance of CHF 2.1 million outstanding at 31 December 2018 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 2017 as due to EDRs which were held in an escrow account and remained unchanged since 31 December 2014. In 2018, those EDRs were transferred to ODH and the equity swap settlement reserve booked out. The residual loss was booked through accumulated losses.

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 9,298 (2017: CHF 10,829).
The principal assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
2018 2017
Discount rates 1.10% 0.70%
Expected rates of salary increase 1.00% 1.00%
Expected pension increases 0.00% 0.00%
Mortality table BVG2015 GT BVG2015 GT
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 0.1 million (increase by CHF 0.1 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 0.0 million (decrease by CHF 0.0 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 0.0 million (decrease by CHF 0.0 million if all other assumptions were held constant
The average duration of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period is 18.4 years (2017: 19.8 years)
The Group expects to make a contribution of CHF 102,488 to the defined benefit plans during the next financial year (2017: CHF 91,694).

36 RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
36.1 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 2018.
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.
The fully reinsured pension funds have concluded insurance contracts to cover the insurance and investment risk. The board of each pension fund is responsible for the investment of assets and the investment strategies are defined in a way that the benefits can be paid out on due date.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
Amounts recognised in profit or loss in respect of these defined benefit plans are as follows:
CHF 2018 2017
Current service cost 143,048 203,511
Net interest expense 3,719 2,803
Administration cost excl. cost for managing plan assets 850 904
Expense recognised in profit or loss 147,617 207,218 Amounts recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of these defined benefit plans are as follows:

Remeasurement (gain)/loss on defined benefit obligation (89,410) (243,282)
Return on plan assets excl. interest income (871) (6,148)
Expense recognised in other comprehensive income (90,281) (249,430)

A total of CHF 67.3 million (2017: CHF 69.8 million) of other current liabilities does not meet the definition of a financial liability.
37.4 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 2018 and 2017, 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.
37.5 Market risk The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see note 37.6 below) and interest rates (see note 37.7 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
F-‐64
37 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
37.1 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 note 31, 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 2018 of 40.66% (see below) decreased due to the disposal of various dis0osal groups and the related disposal of borrowings. These measures ensured that the target recommended by the committee was met as at 31 December 2018.
The gearing ratio at the end of the reporting period was as follows:
CHF 2018 2017
Debt (i) 372,371,517 448,299,152
Cash and cash equivalents (note 25) (138,267,680) (103,671,633)
Net debt 234,103,837 344,627,519
Equity (ii) 575,763,513 561,607,571
Net debt to equity ratio 40.66% 61.36%
(i) Debt is defined as long-‐ and short-‐term borrowings (excluding derivatives), as detailed in (note 31) as well as long-‐ and short-‐
term borrowings included in disposal groups classified as held for sale (note 26). (ii) Equity includes all capital and reserves of the Group and non-‐ controlling interests that are managed as capital excluding
equity of disposal groups.
37.2 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 3.18 Financial instruments.

The Group's sensitivity to foreign currency has changed in accordance with the changes in EGP, USD, EUR and OMR borrowings.
37.7 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.
During 2018 and 2017 the Group did not hold any derivative financial instruments.
37.7.1 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 2017 would decrease / increase by CHF 2.6 million (2017: decrease / increase by CHF 2.8 million). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.
37.8 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.
37.9 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 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 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.
Impairment of financial assets For hotel and destination management, the probability of default is based loss percentages of various time buckets whereas for real estate the probability of default is based on the percentage of clients paying irregularly.
Trade receivables of hotel and destination management
The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs for trade receivables of the hotel and destination management segment. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments that have similar loss patterns.
The provision matrix is initially based on the Group’s historical observed default rates. The Group will calibrate the matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward-‐looking information. For instance, if forecast economic conditions are expected to deteriorate over the next year which can lead to an increased number of defaults in one of the segments or geographical areas,
F-‐66
37.6 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 60% (2017: 67%), in EUR for 17% (2017: 7%), in EGP for 12% (2017: 14%), in OMR 11% (2017: 9%) and in AED 3% (2017: 3%) respectively.
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.
Borrowing
CHF 2018 2017
USD 177,025,741 48% 200,676,030 54%

CHF -‐ 0% 25,866 0%
Total 372,371,517 100% 374,748,830 100%
At the end of the reporting period, the carrying amounts of the Group’s major foreign currency denominated monetary assets (mainly receivables) and monetary liabilities (mainly borrowings), at which the Group is exposed to currency rate risk, are as follows:
CHF Liabilities Assets
2018 2017 2018 2017
Currency-‐USD 177,025,741 200,676,030 82,823,162 71,153,696

Currency-‐EUR 25,268,521 24,223,292 18,745,685 7,545,537
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.
37.6.1 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 expected change in foreign exchange rates (excluding any one-‐off influences due to decisions by government or central banks). 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.

the historical default rates are adjusted. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-‐looking estimates are analysed.
The following table details the risk profile of trade receivables based on the Group’s provision matrix. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished between the Group’s different customer base.

Trade receivables of real estate segment
Based on historical data available, for the trade receivables of the real estate segment, the Group did not observe any significant instances of defaulting in recent years. Based on this business history and the time value of money, management assessed that a loss given default is only applicable to balances overdue my more than 360 days. Loss given default is an estimate of the loss arising on default. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, considering cash flows from collateral and integral credit enhancements. Further, the probability of default is determined based on historical date of cash flows from receivables.
Based on the above, the weighted average ECL of the Group is 12.3%, resulting in a bad debt provision as at 31 December 2018 of CHF 13.8 million.
Other financial assets at amortised cost
For all other financial assets measured at amortised cost, including cash and cash equivalents, impairment is based on a 12-‐monthts ECL using the low cred risk operational simplification in assessing the significant increase in credit risk. As at 31 December 2018, none of the of the other financial assets measured at amortised cost are impaired.

37.10 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 25.1.
As of 31 December 2018, the Group did not have any un-‐drawn facilities at its disposal in order to further reduce liquidity risk (31 December 2017: CHF 26.7 million).
37.10.1 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.

38 SHARE-‐BASED PAYMENTS
The Company has contractually granted a variable compensation amount to its new CEO, Khaled Bichara (“Contingent Compensation”). The compensation amount is due 6 years after the start date (1 January 2016) or earlier if an acceleration event occurs. In summary, the compensation amount is 10% of the share price increase above an annual average increase of 8% (based on the fixed spot share price of CHF 11.37). The Contingent Compensation will be paid in cash or, at ODH’s discretion, in shares if the annual average increases in the share price are met. As of 9 May 2016, the General Assembly of ODH approved the abovementioned compensation plan. The calculated fair value of the Contingent Compensation as at grant date of CHF 5.0 million, which was calculated by an independent third-‐party valuation company, is recognised over the 6-‐year vesting period on a linear basis within profit or loss. The accumulated amount is shown as a separate share-‐based payment reserve within equity.
The Group compensates the members of the Board with a fixed fee of CHF 1.1 million (note 39.3) which is payable in unrestricted shares of the Parent Company based on the quoted market price at grant date as well as in cash. The amount has been recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as part of administrative expenses. It will be transferred to the members of the Board in 2019.

37.11.2 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.
37.11.3 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).

42 COMMITMENTS FOR EXPENDITURE
The following commitments for expenditure have been made for the future development of the respective projects:
CHF 2018
Eco-‐Bos Development Limited (i) 4,039,241 (i) As per the property management agreement between Eco-‐Bos and Imerys (shareholder in Eco-‐Bos). Eco-‐Bos has the right but
not the obligation (American call option maturing in 2030) to purchase part or all of 6.6 million square meters (divided on 7 independent plots), which is currently owned by Imerys Mineral Limited. An annual option premium is paid to retain the rights and the purchase price is calculated based on an agreed dynamic pricing formula. The trigger event of the option(s) is at the full discretion of Eco-‐Bos and shall only be exercised when building permits are attained. Currently Eco-‐Bos is in negotiations with the local authorities and other investors and is taking its time to optimize on the best alternatives for the development.
42.1 Minimum Building Obligations Beside the legally binding commitment for expenditure mentioned above the, following should be considered:
One part of the Group’s business is to acquire land for the development of tourism projects. Out of these business opportunities often no legally binding commitments are incurred. However, the Group has non-‐binding business opportunity commitments in relation to their projects. In particular, the Group has minimum building obligations (“MBOs”) which are included in their development agreements (“DAs”) with the relevant governments in Oman, Morocco and Montenegro.
The contingent liabilities in relation to the MBOs in Montenegro, Oman and Morocco are assessed by the 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 number 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 in which they officially agreed on the extension of the deadline for completion of the MBOs to be 1st January 2020 and 1st 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 68 rooms. Additionally, the project company shall be required to either develop an aquarium or a waterpark or increase the number of hotel keys by 60 rooms, at its sole discretion.

Therefore, it is evident that the Government of Montenegro accepts responsibility for delays in the implementation of the contracted obligations, which resulted in the inability of the company Lustica Development to fulfill its obligations. We expect that the formal confirmation of such a situation, through the signing of an annex to the Lease and Development Agreement, will be realized in the second part of this year 2019.
Risk assessment of contingent liability
The 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, as described herein, 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 the relevant local authorities and thereby working alongside each concerned 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.
43 LITIGATION
There were no significant open litigations at 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2017.
44 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

There have been no other significant events subsequent to 31 December 2018.

Similarly, with regards to 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 while the remaining MBO requirements remain unchanged. 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. To date, the project company in Salalah has completed 3 hotels with a total number of 904 keys.
The Group has requested the Omani Government to merge the required minimum number of keys, and as such the Project Companies shall be required to complete a total number of 1200/1260 keys among both Sifah and Salalah projects. Moreover, the Group requested the Omani Government to reduce the required number of holes in the golf course contemplated in the Sifah project from 18 to 9. The said request was due to the anticipated shortage in the water resources in the area as suggested by the experts. In March 2017, the Omani government approved both requests and sent a letter to that effect to be finalized by January 2020.
During 2018, an additional 178 hotel rooms were built as the extension of the Fanar Hotel. The total number of hotel rooms is currently 1082 in Salalah Project.
In January 2019, the Project company an Addendum to the Development Agreements with the Omani Government extending the MBO Completion Date of the remaining 109 rooms in Sifah project to January 2022.
Morocco
The DA of Morocco 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.
Meanwhile, the project company is in negotiations with potential partners to start the development of the first phase of the project.
In parallel to the above, the project company is negotiating with the Moroccan Government and is expecting to reach its approval regarding the amendment of the DA in light of the new deal to be reached with the potential partners as mentioned here above.
Montenegro
In Montenegro, the investment obligations contemplated by the DAs span over three phases of development, namely the initial phase, second phase and third phase. The date of completion of the initial phase is due by 2017.
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.
However, due to the Government’s delay in fulfilling its obligations specified in the DA and the Closing Protocol signed between the Government of Montenegro, Municipality of Tivat and the project company, the time for completing and finalizing the MBO shall be extended proportionally to the time consumed by the Government in fulfilling the said obligations.
To that effect, the project company has notified the Government several times in writing with the delay of the Government in fulfilling its obligation. The notification included reference to the finalization of the infrastructure and undertaking the required action by the Government with regard to the land expropriations on the quarry area and the main hotel site in order to enable the project company to start the construction of the hotel as required under the abovementioned initial phase. It should be noted that, to date, no official response has been received from the Government.
However, to prove its goodwill, LD constructed a hotel in the Marina Village with a capacity of 111 rooms under the name of the “Chedi” The Chedi officially starts operating in July 2018. Based on the foregoing, the remaining rooms to be constructed in the Initial Phase as per the LD are 189 hotel rooms instead of 300. The Main Mooring Area has been finalized and started operating in July 2018. As for the Golf Course, the heavy excavation is nearly completed and LD started the rough shaping of the first 4 holes.
The LDA and the Closing Protocol are under no risk of termination and it is definite that LD is and will be entitled to 4-‐years extension of the deadline of delivering the Initial Phase under the MBO so long as the Government did not fulfil its obligations as detailed hereinabove. Also, the remaining phases will be extended accordingly.
During end 2018, several meetings were held with the Government of Montenegro, which, accepts that it has failed to fulfill certain obligations that caused Lustica’s inability to secure the execution of the MBO and MIO. This position has been confirmed during the meetings that were held at the end of November 2018 with the Minister of Tourism, the Secretary of the Secretariat for Development Projects and the Mayor of the Tivat Municipality as the most important entities in the Government that monitor the realization of the Lustica Bay project. Furthermore, the position of the Minister of Tourism acknowledged the delays in the implementation of the contracted obligations by the Government, which relate to the expropriation of land, providing adequate traffic accessibility as well as timely construction of communal infrastructure.

Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Revenue recognition Key audit matter How the scope of our audit
responded to the key audit matter
As at December 31, 2018, the Group consolidated statement of comprehensive income included revenue of CHF 340.3 million. The two major streams are revenue from services contracts and revenue from agreements for constructions of real estate.
The Group has adopted IFRS 15 at January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective application, with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard to be adjusted to the opening equity 2018, and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 18 and IAS 11
Revenue recognition is complex due to several types of customer contracts utilized in their different business segments. Further, revenue recognition involves significant judgement and estimates made by Management including, whether contracts contain multiple performance obligations, which should be accounted for separately and the most appropriate method for revenue recognition for identified performance obligations. Significant number of performance obligations has to be accounted for over time, which requires Management to assess the degree of completion. An additional complexity is added by the fact that agreements for construction of real estate include a finance component in certain countries.
The risk is, therefore, that revenue is not recognized in the correct period, did not occur, or is recorded with an incorrect value.
Refer to note 3.7 Revenue recognition, note 6 Revenue, and note 7 Segment information.
We tested the design and implementation of the Group’s relevant key controls in respect of revenue recognition.
Our audit procedures on revenue recognition impairments included:
• Assessing, if the new revenue recognition accounting policy complies with IFRS 15
• performing substantive analytical procedures
• assessing the opening equity adjustment approach and taking detail tests of adjustments recorded for specific contracts
• performing detail tests on transactions throughout the year and specifically at year-end and obtain contracts
• obtaining progress reports from construction companies, if possible, and inspect construction sites for real estate revenues on sample basis to test the percentage of completion
• performing detail test for the finance component

Statutory Auditor’s Report To the General Meeting of ORASCOM DEVELOPMENT HOLDING AG, ALTDORF Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Orascom Development Holding AG and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2018, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash flows and notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year then ended, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion the consolidated financial statements (pages F-3 to F-76) give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and comply with Swiss law. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law, International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and Swiss Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those provisions and standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the requirements of the Swiss audit profession, as well as the IESBA Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Recoverability of receivables Key audit matter How the scope of our audit
responded to the key audit matter
The Group’s statement of financial position includes CHF 31.9 million non-current receivables, and CHF 106.7 million trade and other receivables representing 10.4% of total Group assets. The Group records required allowance at each month-end.
The Group needs to execute significant judgement in assessing the collectability of the receivables, because a material portion of the receivables are collected over an average collecting period of 5.5 years. The main markets of the Group have significant uncertainty around recoverability predictions for such a period.
Refer to note 20 Non-current receivables, and note 23 Trade and other receivables.
We tested the design and implementation of the Group’s relevant key controls in respect of the expected credit loss process.
Our audit procedures on the recoverability of receivables included:
• corroborating expected credit loss with management
• perform detail test for receivables and expected credit loss
• assessing the counterparties credit risk based on publicly available information and historical information/experience for receivables

Impairments of property, plant and equipment Key audit matter How the scope of our audit
responded to the key audit matter
The Group’s statement of financial position includes CHF 761.8 million of property, plant and equipment (PP&E), representing 57.0% of total Group assets. In accordance with IFRS, these balances are tested annually for impairment, if there are triggering events present. A recoverable amount, which is lower than the book results in an impairment.
The Group achieved to generate positive cash inflows from operations in 2018. However, the Group still realized a loss for the year. This prevailing condition is an indicator for impairments on the assets used to generate sufficient operating cash flows to realize a profit. The impairment test includes significant Management judgment about future cash flows generated with these assets.
Refer to note 15 Property, plant and equipment.
We tested the design and implementation of the Group’s relevant key controls in respect of the PP&E impairment process.
Our audit procedures on the PP&E impairments included:
• corroborating impairment tests with management and members of the Board of Directors
• auditing the specific valuation for land
• auditing the valuations of the hotels and verify the value of the hotel is higher than the PP&E allocated to the respective hotel
• obtaining assistance from internal valuation specialists to evaluate valuation models for the significant locations Egypt, Oman, and Montenegro
• challenging the destinations under development with the current year’s progress, its own plans and the outlook to generate positive cash-flows

The other information comprises all information included in the annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements, the stand-alone financial statements of the Company, the compensation report and our auditor’s reports thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information in the annual report and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Responsibility of the Board of Directors for the Consolidated Financial Statements The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS and the provisions of Swiss law, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Financing and Liquidity Key audit matter How the scope of our audit
responded to the key audit matter
We identified that the most significant assumption in the assessment on its ability to continue as a going concern is liquidity within the Group, which is ensured by the commitment from the chairman of the Board of Directors to provide up to CHF 15 million cash until December 2020. The calculations supporting the assessment require management to make judgments on estimated future cash-inflows and cash-outflows.
The Group’s cash projection is fundamental to assess the appropriateness of the basis adopted for the preparation of the financial statements and therefore represents a key audit matter.
Refer to note 25.1 Management’s plans to manage liquidity shortages and related uncertainty.
We tested the design and implementation of the Group’s key relevant controls and assessed the appropriateness of the methodology applied for the cash projection that builds the basis for the Group’s going concern conclusion. Our audit procedures on the cash projection underlying the going concern conclusion included:
• corroborating cash projection with management and members of the Board of Directors
• testing mathematical accuracy of the liquidity forecast
• critically assessing how the Group’s assumptions tie back to the budget approved by the Board of Directors
• audit that the necessary waivers are obtained which support exclusion of cash-outflow for loan repayments and interest payments
• performing historical back testing to obtain an understanding of the past precision for the commitments from the chairman of the Board of Directors to identify potential management bias effects included in the cash projections

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Swiss law, ISAs and Swiss Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is located at the website of EXPERTsuisse: http://expertsuisse.ch/en/audit-report-for-public-companies.This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In accordance with article 728a paragraph 1 item 3 CO and the Swiss Auditing Standard 890, we confirm that an internal control system exists, which has been designed for the preparation of consolidated financial statements according to the instructions of the Board of Directors.

3.2 Other current receivables – third parties Accounts receivables include a position in the amount of CHF 0 (31 December 2017: CHF 207,308), whose value was determined by the market value of ODH EDRs until delisting of EDRs. Since delisting of EDRs, this position is valued at lower of historical value as per delisting of the EDRs or of market value of the corresponding ODH shares. A provision is formed for the whole outstanding amount of CHF 207,308. During 2018, ODH have received the shares so the provision was cancelled
3.3 Other non-‐current receivables – affiliated companies During 2017 there was a significant decrease compared 2016 due to a liability to equity conversion at ORH Investment Holding Ltd (“ORHI”) in the amount of CHF 260 million. The company converted their receivables due from ORH to equity, which increased the investment value of ORH Investment. During 2018 ORHI have settled the due amount.
3.4 Investments in subsidiaries 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 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 an external appraiser is mandated to derive the aggregate market value for the vacant land bank and a high discount is applied to be conservative.
For the operating projects, DCF valuation techniques have been applied for the hotels and real estate segments to reflect the evolving status and the expected steady performance of the operations over a time period ranging from 5 to 10 years. Major underlying assumptions have been used depending on the segment such as occupancy and average room rates for hotels and number of units to be sold and average selling price for real estate. These assumptions affecting the future projections take into consideration the various political, economic and operational facts prevailing at the time of preparing the valuations. Future developments may impact the value.

Liquidity and financing Key audit matter How the scope of our audit responded
to the key audit matter
We identified that the most significant assumption in the Company’s assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern is liquidity within the Group, which is ensured by the commitment from the chairman of the board of directors to provide up to CHF 15 million cash until December 2020. The calculations supporting the assessment require management to make judgments on estimated future cash-inflows and cash-outflows. Liquidity cannot just be considered from a stand-alone perspective, it needs to be addressed for the whole Group, as if liquidity issues on subsidiaries’ level result in going concern issues for subsidiaries such going concern issues could trigger impairments on the Company’s level (ultimate holding), which could impact the Company’s going concern.
The Group’s cash projection is fundamental to assess the appropriateness of the basis adopted for the preparation of the financial statements and therefore represents a key audit matter.
Refer to Note 3.6 Current interest-bearing liabilities - shareholder for the actual shareholder’s loan from the chairman of the Board of Directors.
We tested the design and implementation of the relevant controls and assessed the appropriateness of the methodology applied for the cash projection that builds the basis for the Group’s going concern conclusion and consequently also for the stand-alone conclusion. Our audit procedures on the cash projection underlying the going concern conclusion, amongst others, included:
• corroborating cash projection with management and members of the Board of Directors
• testing arithmetical accuracy of the liquidity forecast
• testing the Group’s assumptions tie back to the budget approved by the Board of Directors
• audit that the necessary waivers are obtained which support exclusion of cash-outflow for loan repayments and interest payments
• evaluating management’s ability to accurately forecast by comparing actual with historical information to obtain an understanding of the past precision for the commitments from the chairman of the Board of Directors to identify potential management bias effects included in the cash projections
Responsibility of the Board of Directors for the Financial Statements The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the Company’s articles of incorporation, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Investments in subsidiaries Key audit matter How the scope of our audit responded
to the key audit matter
The statutory balance sheet presents investments in subsidiaries amounting to CHF 1,401 million as at December 31, 2018, which is further explained in Note 3.4 Investments in subsidiaries.
There are triggering events present indicating that investments in subsidiaries are potentially impaired.
Management’s annual impairment test for investments in subsidiaries is considered to be judgmental, as the value investments in subsidiaries is depending on political and economic assumptions for middle east and especially Egypt, which are inherently uncertain. As the balance is material to the statutory financial statements as a whole, and includes significant estimates about the future, the impairment testing for investments in subsidiaries represents a key audit matter.
We tested the design and implementation of the Company’s relevant controls.
We assessed the appropriateness of management’s accounting policies regarding the valuation of investments in subsidiaries.
We challenged the impairment tests for investments in subsidiaries, and critically assessed whether the assumption are appropriate for the different valuations that support the value of investments in subsidiaries.
We have involved internal valuation specialists to assist us in reviewing the valuation models and validating the discount rates applied to ensure compliance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”. Further, they performed sensitivity analysis.
We validated the appropriateness and completeness of the related disclosures in the financial statements.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the website of EXPERTsuisse: http://expertsuisse.ch/en/audit-report-for-public-companies.This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
