valuations (for the period ending 30 June 2015 loss of USD 21.7
million)

Background
(a) Organisation and operations
Dragon - Ukrainian Properties & Development plc (the
Company) was incorporated in the Isle of Man on 23 February 2007.
The Company's registered office is 2nd Floor, Belgravia House,
34-44 Circular Road, Douglas, Isle of Man IM1 1AE and its principal
place of business is Ukraine. With effect from July 1, 2015 the
registered office of the Company has changed to 2(nd) Floor, St
Mary's Court, 20 Hill Street, Douglas, Isle of Man IM1 1EU.
On 1 June 2007 the Company raised USD 208 million through an
initial public offering on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM)
of the London Stock Exchange. On 29 November 2007, the Company
completed a secondary placing on AIM and raised USD 100
million.
The main activities of the Company are investing in the
development of its existing real estate properties in Ukraine. The
Company provides financing to its investees either through equity
or debt financing.
(b) Business environment
Ukraine's political and economic situation deteriorated
significantly in 2014. Political and social unrest, which started
in November 2013 has deepened the ongoing economic crisis and has
resulted in a widening of the state budget deficit and contributed
to further depletion of the National Bank of Ukraine's foreign
currency reserves. As a result, downgrading of the Ukrainian
sovereign debt credit ratings occurred.
In March 2014 Autonomous Republic of Crimea (Crimea) was annexed
by the Russian Federation and this annexation is not recognised by
the international community. This event resulted in a significant
deterioration of political and economic relationships between
Ukraine and the Russian Federation. Following the annexation of
Crimea, regional tensions have spread to the Eastern regions of
Ukraine, primarily to the parts of Donetsk and Lugansk regions. In
May 2014, unrest escalated into military clashes and armed conflict
between armed supporters of the self-declared republics of Donetsk
and Lugansk regions and the Ukrainian forces. As at the date these
financial statements were authorised for issue part of Donetsk and
Lugansk regions remains under control of the self-proclaimed
republics. As a result, Ukrainian authorities are not currently
able to fully enforce Ukrainian laws in these regions.
Disruption of economic ties with Crimea and economic disruption
in Donetsk and Lugansk regions because of the military conflict has
deepened the ongoing economic crisis, caused a fall in the
country's gross domestic product and foreign trade, deterioration
in state finances, significant devaluation of the national currency
and a further downgrading of the Ukrainian sovereign debt credit
ratings in 2015. Following the devaluation of the national
currency, the National Bank of Ukraine introduced certain
administrative restrictions on currency conversion transactions,
which among others included in certain specific cases restrictions
on purchases of foreign currency, the requirement to convert 75% of
foreign currency proceeds to local currency, a ban on payment of
dividends abroad, a ban on early repayment of foreign loans and
certain restrictions on cash withdrawals from banks. These measures
allowed to increase foreign currency reserves and stabilise the
exchange rate by the end of 2015. Subsequently Ukrainian sovereign
debt credit ratings have improved one notch.
Though the foreign currency restrictions were gradually eased by
the National Bank of Ukraine they are still in place with no clear
indication when they would be fully lifted. For the first 2
quarters of 2016 current accounts deficit remained at moderate
levels (below 1%), the foreign currency reserves remained at quite
comfortable level thus resulting in a relatively stable exchange
rate of US dollar to hryvnia.
Whilst the Directors believe they are taking appropriate
measures to support the sustainability of the Company's business in
the current circumstances, a continuation of the current unstable
business environment could negatively affect the Company's results
and financial position in a manner not currently determinable.
These financial statements reflect management's current assessment
of the impact of the Ukrainian business environment on the
operations and the financial position of the Company. The future
business environment may differ from management's assessment.
Basis of preparation
(a) Statement of compliance
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by
the EU.
(b) Basis of measurement
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost
basis, except for the following material items:
Items Measurement basis
------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Investments at fair value through profit or loss Fair value
Loans receivable Fair value
(c) Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in thousands of US
dollars (USD), which is the Company's functional currency. All
amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise
indicated.
(i) Determination of functional currency
Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the Company operates. If indicators of the
primary economic environment are mixed, then management uses its
judgement to determine the functional currency that most faithfully
represents the economic effect of the underlying transactions,
events and conditions. The majority of the Company's investments
and transactions are denominated in US dollars. The expenses
(including management and performance fees, administrative
expenses) are denominated and paid in US dollars. Accordingly,
management has determined that the functional currency of the
Company is US dollar. All information presented in US dollars is
rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated
therein.
(d) Use of judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS
as adopted by the EU requires the Directors to make judgments,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting
policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income
and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing
basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the
period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods
affected.
As stated in note 1(b) to these financial statements, the
political and business situation has deteriorated significantly.
This is a key factor in the estimation uncertainty and critical
judgements associated with applying the accounting policies in
these financial statements
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation
uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies
that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in
the financial statements and could lead to significant adjustment
in the next financial year are included in the following notes:
-- Note 3(a) - Determination of investment entity criteria
-- Note 4 - Valuation of financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss
Measurement of fair values
A number of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures
require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and
non-financial assets and liabilities.
The Directors are responsible for overseeing all significant
fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values. They review
and approve significant unobservable inputs and valuation
adjustments before they are included in the Company's financial
statements. To assist with the estimation of fair values the
Directors, when appropriate, engage registered independent
appraiser, having a recognised professional qualification and
recent experience in the location and categories of the assets
being valued.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the
Company uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values
are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy
based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as
follows.
-- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in 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: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based
on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a
liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair
value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in
its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the
lowest level input that is significant to the entire
measurement.
The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair
value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the
change has occurred.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair
values is included in the following notes:
-- Note 4 - financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
(e) Going concern
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern
basis. For the 6 months 2016 the Company incurred a net loss of USD
3,502 and had negative cash flows from operating activities of USD
7,488 thousand. As at that date the Company's current assets
exceeded its current liabilities by USD 7,586 thousand and its Net
Asset Value amounted to USD 48,871 thousand.
The Directors believe that the Company's existing cash resources
are sufficient to meet the Company's liabilities for the
foreseeable future and therefore that the going concern basis for
preparing these financial statements is appropriate.
Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied
consistently to all periods presented in these financial
statements, and have been applied consistently by Company.
(a) Investment entity
The Company is an investment entity as defined by IFRS and
measures all of its investments at fair value through profit or
loss.
In determining whether the Company meets the definition of an
investment company, management considered the following:
-- The Company raised funds on AIM (through the first and second
issue of shares) only for the purpose of making investments in the
development of new properties and the redevelopment of existing
properties in Ukraine.
-- The Company has a clear exit strategy from its real estate
projects (either through sale of the properties, or through sale of
shareholding right in the entities, which own the properties). This
is stated in the Company's new investing policy that was voted and
approved by the general meeting of shareholders in February 2014.
The full text of the current investing policy could be found on the
Company's website
http//www.dragon-upd.com/investor-information/important-information/business-strategy-and-investing-policy
-- The Company measures and evaluates the performance of
substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis.
-- The Company's Directors (acting on behalf of the Company)
take only strategic decisions and approve overall direction of
investing activity in order to maximise the returns to
shareholders. At the same time, the Directors chose and appointed
DCM Limited as the Company's investment manager (see note 9). DCM
Limited's employees perform recurring management operating
activities in accordance with the Third Management Agreement and
within the strategic decisions of the Directors. There is no
separate substantial business activity beyond earning returns from
capital appreciation and investment income. The Directors seek to
return any surplus funds and net proceeds from property realisation
to shareholders when appropriate, in accordance with its investing
policy.
Considering the above, the Company's management determined that
the Company meets the definition of investment entity in accordance
with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and, accordingly,
the Company has not consolidate its subsidiaries. Before 1 January
2014 the Company's management consolidated all of its investments
at fair value through profit or loss. The Company now measures its
investment in subsidiaries at fair value through profit and loss
(note 3(b)). Such approach provides a fair and transparent view on
the Company to the Company's shareholders and stakeholders.
The Company also elected to measure its investments in
associates and loans receivable from its investees at fair value
through profit or loss (notes 3(c) and 3(d).
All these assets are presented within financial assets at fair
value through profit or loss in the Company's statement of
financial position.
(b) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are investees controlled by the Company. The
Company controls an investee when it is exposed to, or has right
to, variable returns from its involvement with the company and has
the ability to affect those returns through its power over the
investee.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured and accounted for at
fair value with gain or loss recognised in profit or loss (see note
3(a)).
Unconsolidated subsidiaries and their grouping by investment in
respective projects are as follows:

(c) Associates
Associates are those companies in which the Company has
significant influence, but not control, over the financial and
operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when
the Company holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of
another company. In certain cases when the Company has less than
20% of the voting power of another company, this company is still
accounted for as an associate on the basis of significant
influence.
Investments in associates are measured and accounted for at fair
value with gain or losses recognised in profit or loss (see note
3(a)).
Investments in associates comprise the investment in Hindale
Executive Investments Limited (part of investment in the Avenue
Shopping Centre project).
(d) Loans receivable from investees
In additional to equity financing to its investees, as a part of
structuring its investments the Company also provides debt
financing to its investees. As described in note 3(a), the Company
elected to measure loans receivable from its investees at fair
value through profit or loss. These investments are presented as
"loans and receivables" in accordance with IFRS requirements.
(e) Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into US
dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency
at the exchange rate at that date.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated into US
dollar at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was
determined.
Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are
recognised in profit or loss, except for those arising of financial
instruments at fair value through profit or loss, which are
recognised as a component of net gain/(loss) from investments at
fair value through profit or loss or net gain/(loss) from loans
receivable.
(f) Financial instruments
(i) Non-derivative financial assets
The Company initially recognises loans and receivables and
deposits on the date that they are originated. All other financial
assets are recognised initially on the trade date at which the
Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument.
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual
rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the
rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset
in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards
of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest
in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the
Company is recognised as a separate asset or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount
presented in the statement of financial position when, and only
when, the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and
intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously.
The Company classifies non-derivative financial assets into the
following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit
or loss, other loans and receivables and available-for-sale
financial assets.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
(FVTPL)
A financial asset is classified at fair value through profit or
loss -category if it is classified as held for trading or is
designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets are
designated at fair value through profit or loss if the Company
manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions
based on their fair value in accordance with the Company's
documented risk management or investment strategy. Directly
attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as
incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are
measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised in
profit or loss.
Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss
comprise loans receivable from investees at fair value through
profit or loss and investments at fair value through profit or loss
(see notes 3(b), 3(c) and 3(d)).
Other loans and receivables
Other loans and receivables are a category of financial assets
with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an
active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value
plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to
initial recognition loans and receivables are measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment
losses.
Other loans and receivables comprise the following classes of
assets: other accounts receivable as presented in note 5 and cash
and cash equivalents as presented in note 6.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, call deposits
and liquid investments with maturities at initial recognition of
three months or less.
(ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities
The Company classifies non-derivative financial liabilities in
the other financial liabilities category. Such financial
liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less any
directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial
recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest method.
Other financial liabilities comprise other payables as presented
in note 8.
Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an
integral part of the Company's cash management are included as a
component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the
statement of cash flows.
(iii) Share capital
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs
directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share
options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax
effects.
Repurchase, disposal and reissue of share capital (treasury
shares)
When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the
amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly
attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognised as a
deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are immediately cancelled
and the total number of issued shares reduced by the purchase.
(g) Impairment
(i) Non-derivative financial assets
A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or
loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there
is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is
impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has
occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the
loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows
of that asset that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets (including equity
securities) are impaired can include default or delinquency by a
debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Company on terms that
the Company would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor
or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment
status of borrowers or issuers in the Company, economic conditions
that correlate with defaults or the disappearance of an active
market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity
security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value
below its cost is objective evidence of impairment.
Loans and receivables
The Company considers evidence of impairment for loans and
receivables at both a specific asset and collective level. All
individually significant loans and receivables are assessed for
specific impairment. All individually significant loans and
receivables found not to be specifically impaired are then
collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but
not yet identified. Loans and receivables that are not individually
significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping
together loans and receivables with similar risk
characteristics.
In assessing collective impairment the Company uses historical
trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries and the
amount of loss incurred, adjusted for the Directors' judgment as to
whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the
actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by
historical trends.
An impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the
asset's carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated
future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective
interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and
reflected in an allowance account against loans and receivables or.
Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised. When a
subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease,
the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or
loss.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are
recognised by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the fair
value reserve in equity, to profit or loss. The cumulative loss
that is reclassified from equity to profit or loss is the
difference between the acquisition cost, net of any principal
repayment and amortisation, and the current fair value, less any
impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss. Changes in
impairment provisions attributable to application of the effective
interest method are reflected as a component of interest income.
If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired
available-for-sale debt security increases and the increase can be
related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss
was recognised in profit or loss, then the impairment loss is
reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognised in profit or
loss. However, any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an
impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognised in other
comprehensive income.
(h) Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the
Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be
estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are
determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a
pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The
unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.
(i) Finance income and costs
Finance income comprises interest income on financial assets and
currency exchange gains. Finance costs comprise interest expense
and currency exchange losses.
Interest income and expense, including interest income from
non-derivative financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss, are recognised in profit or loss, using the effective
interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that
exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts,
without consideration of future credit losses, over the expected
life of the financial instrument or through to the next market
based repricing date to the net carrying amount of the financial
instrument on initial recognition.
Interest received or receivable, and interest paid or payable,
are recognised in profit or loss as finance income and finance
costs, respectively, except for those arising on financial
instruments at fair value through profit or loss, which are
recognised as a component of net gain/(loss) from investments at
fair value through profit or loss or net loss from loans
receivable.
(j) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date on
which the right to receive payment is established. For quoted
equity securities, this is usually the ex-dividend date. For
unquoted equity securities, this is usually the date on which the
shareholders approve the payment of a dividend. Dividend income
from equity securities designated as at fair value through profit
or loss is recognised in profit or loss in separate line item.
(k) Net gain/(loss) from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Net gain/(loss) from financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss includes all realised and unrealised fair value
changes, interest income and foreign exchange differences, but
excludes dividend income.
(l) Fees and administrative expenses
Fees and administrative expenses are recognised in profit or
loss as the related services are performed or expenses are
incurred.
(m) Tax
Under the current tax legislation in the Isle of Man, the
applicable tax rate is 0% for the Company.
However, some dividend and interest income received by the
Company may be subject to withholding tax imposed in certain
countries of origin. Income that is subject to such tax is
recognised gross of the taxes and the corresponding withholding tax
is recognised as tax expense.
Further, as stated in note 13(b), the Company's investees
perform most of their operations in Ukraine and are therefore
within the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian tax authorities.
(n) Earnings per share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS)
data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing
the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the
Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the year, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted
EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to
ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects
of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise warrants
and share options.
(o) Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages
in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur
expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to
transactions with any of the Company's other components.
The Directors determined that the sole segment in which the
Company operates is investing in property development.
(p) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and
interpretations are not yet effective for the six-month period
ended 30 June 2016, and have not been applied in preparing these
financial statements. Of these pronouncements, potentially the
following will have an impact on the Company's financial statements
(subject to adoption by the EU). The Company plans to adopt these
pronouncements when they become effective.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, published in July 2014, replaces
the existing guidance in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition
and Measurement. IFRS 9 includes revised guidance on the
classification and measurement of financial instruments, including
a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on
financial assets, and the new general hedge accounting
requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on recognition
and derecognition of financial instruments from IAS 39. IFRS 9 is
effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1
January 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is
assessing the potential impact on its financial statements
resulting from the application of IFRS 9. The Company does not
intend to adopt this standard early.
Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its
Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28)
address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in
IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28 (2011), in dealing with the sale or
contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or
joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a
full gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves a
business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial
gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves assets that
do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a
subsidiary. The amendments will be effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2017. The amendments are not
expected to have a significant effect on the Company's financial
statements.
Disclosure Initiative (amendments to IAS 7) require entities to
provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to
evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities.
Amendments to IAS 7 is effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2017, with early adoption
permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact on its
financial statements resulting from the application of amendments
to IAS 7. The Company does not intend to adopt this standard
early.
Various improvements to IFRSs have been dealt with on a
standard-by-standard basis. All amendments, which result in
accounting changes for presentation, recognition or measurement
purposes, will come into effect for annual periods beginning after
1 January 2017.

(a) Investment in Arricano Real Estate plc
The Company acquired a shareholding in Arricano Real Estate plc
(Arricano) in 2010. In September 2013 the shares of Arricano were
admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.
Since then the Company had been accounting for its shareholding in
Arricano at its market price.
There was no active market trading in Arricano shares during
2016 and 2015. Therefore, management used the adjusted net assets
method to estimate the fair value of investment in Arricano. The
Company's management considers this to be the most appropriate
method to estimate the fair value of the Company's investment in
Arricano. Under this valuation method Arricano's net assets value
as at 31 December 2015 (as per Arricano's published audited
financial statements as at 31 December 2015 and 2014) were adjusted
by the same proportion as estimated change of fair value of
commercial retail real estate property in Ukraine (Arricano's
primary assets) for the six-month period ended 30 June 2016 and 31
December 2015 respectivly, and multiplied by the Company's share in
Arricano's net assets. To assist with the estimation of change in
fair value of commercial retail real estate property in Ukraine for
the six-month period ended 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2015, the
Directors engaged independent appraiser DTZ Kiev B.V.
(b) Investment in subsidiaries and associates (investees)
(i) Valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs
For the estimation of fair values of the Company's investments
management used the adjusted net assets method.
Management performed a detailed review of the investees' assets
and liabilities for the purpose of their fair value assessment:
-- Assets are mainly represented by real estate properties and
prepayments for properties (land). The fair value of these
properties and prepayments for properties was assessed by the
independent appraiser, DTZ Kiev B.V.
-- Liabilities are mainly represented by loans payable due to the Company.
-- Other assets and liabilities are short-term by nature and
their fair value approximates the carrying amount. Thus, no
additional adjustment is required.
The investees' net assets are adjusted for the non-controlling
interest based on the ownership percentage.
(ii) Disposal of investment in associate
During 2015 the Company disposed its investment in Henryland
Group Limited for consideration amounting to USD 569 thousand. As a
result of the disposal the Company recognised a net gain on
disposal in amount of USD 32 thousand.
Composition of assets and liabilities of the investment projects
as at 30 June 2016 are as follows:

To assist with the estimation of fair value of investment
properties, prepayments for land and inventories (together "the
real estate projects") as at 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2015, the
Directors engaged independent appraiser DTZ Kiev B.V., having a
recognised professional qualification and recent experience in the
location and categories of the projects being valued.
The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation
is prepared in accordance with practice standards contained in the
Appraisal and Valuation Standards published by the Royal
Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) or in accordance with
International Valuation Standards published by the International
Valuations Standards Council.
Management did not engage independent appraiser to arrive fair
value of Rivne project. In July 2016 the project was sold for
consideration fully received in cash of USD 1,321 thousand. The
selling price was agreed with the buyer before 30 June 2016 and
therefore is an appropriate indicator of project fair value.
The fair value measurement, developed for determination of fair
value of the properties, is categorised within Level 3 of the fair
value hierarchy, due to the significance of unobservable inputs to
the measurement.
Investment properties
As at 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2015 investment property was
represented by Green Hills and Riviera Villas, and Rivne and
Kremenchuk Retail Centres projects.
In the absence of current prices in an active market, the
valuations are prepared under the income approach by converting
estimated future cash flows to a single current capital value.
The estimation of fair value was made using a net present value
calculation based on certain assumptions, which represent key
unobservable inputs, the most important of which as at 30 June 2016
are as follows:
-- monthly rental rates - which were based on current rental
rates ranging from USD 3.6 to USD 33.7 per sq. m.
-- development costs based on current construction prices
-- average sales price of cottages ranging from USD 827 to USD 1,469 per sq.m.
-- discount rate ranging from 23% sales period - from 1 to 7 years
-- all relevant licenses and permits, to the extent not yet
received, will be obtained, in accordance with the timetables as
set out in the investment project plans.
-- all relevant licenses and permits, to the extent not yet
received, will be obtained, in accordance with the timetables as
set out in the investment project plans.
As at 31 December 2015 the respective assumptions, which
represent key unobservable inputs for determination of fair value,
were as follows:
-- monthly rental rates - which were based on current rental
rates ranging from USD 4 to USD 33.7 per sq. m.
-- development costs based on current construction prices
-- average land sales price ranging from USD 843 to USD 1,624 per sq.m.
-- discount rate - from 23% to 24.5%
-- sales period - from 1 to 7 years
-- all relevant licenses and permits, to the extent not yet
received, will be obtained, in accordance with the timetables as
set out in the investment project plans..
Prepayments for land
Land plots for the land bank project with a total area of 483 ha
are currently registered for agricultural use, and the rezoning
process to change the purpose of the land plots to construction use
was in progress as at 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2015. Land plots
with a total area of 19.9 ha had been rezoned for construction use
by the end of 2012. The fair value of the land bank was determined
using agricultural and residential property comparatives according
to actual land plot zoning and discounting for the time period
likely to be required to sell the land plots.
The estimation of fair value of the underlying assets (the land
plots) was made based on certain assumptions, which represent key
unobservable inputs, the most important of which as at 30 June 2016
are as follows:
-- average present value market prices ranging from USD 30 thousand to USD 300 thousand per ha
-- discount rates ranging from 21.5% to 22.5%
-- sales period - from 1 to 7 years
As at 31 December 2015 the respective assumptions were as
follows:
-- average present value market prices ranging from USD 33 thousand to USD 211 thousand per ha
-- discount rates ranging from 21,5% to 22,5%
-- sales period - from 1 to 7 years
Inventory
As at 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2015 inventory was
represented by the gated community Sadok Vyshnevyi (22 newly
constructed flats in townhouses and relevant land plots) and the
Obolon project (residential complex in Kyiv under
construction).
The estimation of fair value was made using a net present value
calculation based on certain assumptions, which represent key
unobservable inputs, the most important of which as at 30 June 2016
are as follows:
-- average market prices ranging from USD 414 to USD 1,940 per sq m
-- discount rates ranging from 19.25% to 23.5%
-- sales period - from 2 to 5 years
As at 31 December 2015 the respective assumptions were as
follows:
-- average market prices ranging from USD 475 to USD 2,222 per sq m
-- discount rates ranging from 19% to 23.5%
-- sales period - from 2 to 5 years
Other assets and liabilities
Liabilities are mainly represented by the loans payable to the
Company.
The financial instruments not measured at fair value comprise
other accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, other
accounts payable. The carrying amount of such instruments
approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature
(except for loans payable).
(b) Loans receivable at fair value through profit or loss
The loans are denominated in USD, unsecured, interest free or
interest bearing (up to 11%) and represent an alternative to the
equity way of financing investments.
Loans receivable are designated at fair value through profit or
loss in accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition
and Measurement and measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS
13 Fair value measurement as the present value of the expected
future cash flows, discounted using a market-related rate (see
notes 3(a) and 3(d)). Expected future cash flows are represented by
cash flows generated from the underlying assets for the loans (the
real estate projects).

Distribution to the Company's shareholders
On 22 January 2016 the Directors, after having reviewed the
updated cash flow projection prepared by the Manager and acting in
line with the Company's investing policy to distribute funds
received from the sale of the Company's assets, adopted a
resolution for a distribution to the Company's shareholders in the
amount of USD 0.055 per share or USD 6,014 thousand in total under
article 128 of the Company's Articles of Association. On 19
February 2016 payment of USD 6,014 thousand has been made to the
Company's shareholders.
On 24 December 2014 following the adoption of the new investing
policy in early 2014 and an assessment of the Company's working
capital requirements, the Board of Directors decided to declare a
distribution of USD 0.055 per Ordinary Share, which was in
accordance with its investing policy of distributing surplus funds
to the Company's shareholders. On 22 January 2015 following a
resolution of the Board of Director dated 29 December 2014 a
payment of USD 6,014 thousand has been made to the Company's

Total 1,061 1,050
Unpaid management fees as at 30 June 2016 amounted to USD 850
thousand (31 December 2015: USD 1,050 thousand).
Initial Management Agreement
The Company entered into a management agreement dated 16 May
2007 (the Management Agreement) with Dragon Capital Partners Ltd
(the Manager) pursuant to which the latter has agreed to provide
advisory, management and monitoring services to the Company. The
Company may terminate the manager's appointment on at least 6
months written notice expiring on or after the fifth anniversary of
admission to AIM, or without written notice subject to certain
criteria.
In consideration for its services thereunder, the Manager was
entitled to be paid an annual management fee of 1.5% of the gross
asset value of the Company at the end of the relevant accounting
period or part thereof plus value added tax or similar taxes which
may be applicable. In addition, the Manager was entitled to
performance fees based on the net asset value (NAV) growth.
Second Revised Management Agreement
On 23 April 2010 the Board approved changes to the Management
Agreement between the Manager and the Company effective as at 31
December 2009 (Second Revised Management Agreement). The
performance fee was divided into two parts. One is based on NAV
growth, and the second on share price growth. Therefore, prior to
the Second Revised Management Agreement the Manager was entitled to
an annual performance fee of 20% of the amount of such increase in
NAV growth in excess of 10%, and under the Second Revised
Management Agreement the Manager is entitled to 10% of the amount
of such increase in NAV growth in excess of 10%. The other
performance fee of 10% is calculated based on the amount by which
the final share price growth exceeds 10% from the base share price
set at GBP1.085 per share.
Since 1 December 2011 the Second Revised Management Agreement
was subject to termination with six months' notice by either
party.
Third Management Agreement
On 17 February 2014 an Extraordinary General Meeting of the
shareholders approved a revision of the Management Agreement (Third
Management Agreement) and accordingly the Company entered into a
new management agreement with DCM Limited (the company which
replaced Dragon Capital Partners Limited as the Manager).
The Directors (excluding Tomas Fiala who is a related party as
explained in detail in the note 24) believe that the proposed
changes incorporated into the Third Management Agreement will
incentivise the Manager to:
-- dispose promptly of the Company's properties; and
-- achieve the best possible sales value for each property in
order to maximise the cash returns to shareholders that would
result in the Manager maximising the proposed performance fee
payable under the Third Management Agreement.
The Third Management Agreement fees and term of the management
agreement are summarised below.
Management fee
The management fee under the Third Management Agreement changes
from a fee of 1.5 per cent. of Gross Asset Value to a fixed amount
as follows:
-- 1 January 2013 - 30 June 2013: USD 1.25 million
-- 1 July 2013 - 31 December 2013: USD 1.25 million
-- 1 January 2014 - 31 December 2014: USD 2.5 million
-- 1 January 2015 - 31 December 2015: USD 2.1 million
-- 1 January 2016 - 31 December 2016: USD 1.7 million
-- 1 January 2017 - 31 December 2017: USD 1.5 million
-- 1 January 2018 - 31 December 2018: USD 1.4 million
The management fee under the Third Management Agreement is
payable in cash, semi-annually in July and January of each year,
within 10 business days after the end of the relevant period.
Performance fee
The performance fee under the Third Management Agreement changed
from one which is calculated in two parts, being an increase in NAV
and also an increase in share price performance, to the following,
based on distributions to shareholders:
-- in relation to distributions up to threshold 1, a fee of 3.5
percent of such distributions;
-- in relation to distributions from threshold 1 to threshold 2,
a fee of 7 percent of such distributions and
-- in relation to distributions in excess of threshold 2, a fee
of 10 percent of such distributions.
Thresholds 1 and 2 are equal to USD 50 million and USD 75
million respectively, such amounts to increase by a minimum amount
of any future increase in the Company's share capital and accrete
by 6 per cent per annum starting 1 January 2016 and 1 January 2017
(or such extended dates as the Company and the Manager may agree in
the event of any future increase in the Company's share capital),
respectively, calculated on a daily basis. The accretion of
threshold 1 will cease when threshold 2 is achieved.
The performance fee under the Third Management Agreement is
payable in cash (or in the case of a distribution that is a
distribution in specie, payable by the transfer to the Manager of
the appropriate proportion of the financial instrument that is the
subject of the distribution), simultaneously with the distributions
to which they relate.
The Third Management Agreement expires on 31 December 2016, with
two automatic extensions of twelve months each, as follows:
-- if by 31 December 2016, distributions of at least USD 42.4
million have been made (being 80 per cent. of USD 50 million
multiplied by 1.06), the Third Management Agreement shall continue
until 31 December 2017 at which point (and subject to the bullet
point below), the appointment of the Manager shall expire
automatically; and
-- if by 31 December 2017, distributions of at least USD 63.6
million have been made (being 80 per cent. of USD 75 million
multiplied by 1.06), the Third Management Agreement shall continue
until 31 December 2018 at which point, the appointment of the
Manager shall expire automatically.
The amounts referred to above increase by a minimum amount of
any future increase in the Company's share capital, in which event
the dates could also be extended with agreement of each of the
Company and the Manager.
The total management fee for the 6 months ended 30 June 2016 is
USD 850 thousand (6 months ended 30 June 2015: USD 1,050 thousand).
The total performance fee for the 6 months ended 30 June 2016 is
USD 211 thousand (6 months ended 30 June 2015: nil).
Net loss from financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss
Net loss from financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss for the 6 months ended 30 June is as follows:
6 months ended 30 June 2016 6 months ended 30 June 2015
(in thousands of USD)
Interest income 8,073 8,022
Loss on investments at fair value through profit or loss (1,733) (12,491)

Contingencies
(a) Litigation
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings in the
ordinary course of business but Directors consider that none of
them require provisions or could result in material losses for the
Company.
(b) Taxation contingencies
The Company is not subject to any tax charges within Isle of Man
jurisdiction, however the Company's investees perform most of their
operations in Ukraine and are therefore within the jurisdiction of
the Ukrainian tax authorities. The Ukrainian tax system can be
characterised by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation
which may be applied retrospectively, open to wide interpretation
and in some cases conflict with other legislative requirements.
Instances of inconsistent opinions between local, regional, and
national tax authorities and the Ministry of Finance are not
unusual. Tax declarations are subject to review and investigation
by a number of authorities that are empowered by law to impose
severe fines, penalties and interest charges. A tax year remains
open for review by the tax authorities during the three subsequent
calendar years, however under certain circumstances a tax year may
remain open longer. These facts create tax risks substantially more
significant than typically found in countries with more developed
systems.
The Directors believe that the Company has adequately assessed
tax liabilities based on its interpretation of tax legislation,
official pronouncements and court decisions for the purpose of
assessment of the Company's assets fair value. However, the
interpretations of the relevant authorities could differ and the
effect on the financial statements, if the authorities were
successful in enforcing their interpretations, could be
significant. No provisions for potential tax assessments have been
made in these financial statements.
(c) Insurance
The Company and its investees do not have full coverage for the
property, business interruption, or third party liability in
respect of property or environmental damage arising from accidents
on property or relating to the operations of the Company and its
investees. Until the Company and its investees obtain adequate
insurance coverage, there is a risk that the loss or destruction of
certain assets could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's operations and financial position.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
The calculation of basic earnings per share for the financial
statements is based upon the net loss for the 6 months ended 30
June 2016 attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company
of USD 3,502 thousand (6 months ended 30 June 2015: USD 21,673
thousand) and the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding, calculated as follows:
6 months ended 30 June 2016 6 months ended 30 June 2015
(number of shares weighted during the period outstanding)
Shares issued on incorporation on 23 February 2007 2 2
Sub-division of GBP 1 shares into GBP 0.01 shares on 16

Weighted average number of shares for the period 109,361,515 109,361,515
Dilluted earnings per share
As at 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2015 there were no options or
warrants in issue. Therefore, there was no dilution on the
Company's basic earnings per share.
Fair values and financial risk management

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values
of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their
levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value
information for financial assets and financial liabilities not
measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable
approximation of fair value. Management believes that fair value of
cash and cash equivalents, other accounts receivable and other
accounts payable approximates their carrying amount.

(c) Financial risk management
Exposure to credit, interest rate and currency risk arises in
the normal course of the Company's business. The Company does not
hedge its exposure to such risks. As stated in note 1(b) to these
financial statements the political and economic situation has
deteriorated significantly. Further deterioration could negatively
impact the results and financial position in a manner not currently
determinable.
(i) Risk management policy
The Board has assessed major risks and grouped them in a
register of significant risks. This register is reviewed by the
Board at least twice per year or more often if there are
circumstances requiring such a review.
(ii) Credit risk
Loans receivable
The Company issues loans to its subsidiaries. All these loans
are unsecured and stated at fair value in these financial
statements. Recoverability of these loans receivable depends on
timely realisation of the real estate projects (see note 4). As at
30 June 2016, USD 40,701 thousand or 76% of the total loans
receivable are due from three counterparties, which further invest
in the Obolon Residences and Land Bank projects (31 December 2015:
USD 29,236 thousand or 71%)
Other accounts receivable
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by
the individual characteristics of each counterparty. As at 30 June
2016, USD 25 thousand or 92% of total other accounts receivable are
due from two counterparty (31 December 2015: USD 43 thousand or 75%
are due from two counterparties).
The exposure to credit risk is approved and monitored on an
ongoing basis individually for all significant counterparties.
The Company does not require collateral in respect of other
accounts receivable.
The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that
represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of other
accounts receivable. The main components of this allowance are a
specific loss component that relates to individually significant
exposures, and a collective loss component established for groups
of similar assets in respect of losses that have been incurred but
not yet identified. The collective loss allowance is determined
based on historical data of payment statistics for similar
financial assets. As at the balance sheet date the Company had no
such collective impairment provision.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum
credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk is as
follows:
30 June 2016 31 December 2015
(in thousands of USD)
Loans receivable 40,701 41,308
Cash and cash equivalents 8,425 15,912
Other accounts receivable 69 58
Total 49,195 57,278
(iii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter
difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial
liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another
financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to
ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and
stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or
risking damage to the Company's reputation.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial
liabilities as at 30 June 2016:

(iv) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as
foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will
affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of
financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is
to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable
parameters, while optimising the return.
Interest rate risk
Fair value of loans receivable at fair value through profit or
loss depends on fair values of underlying real estate projects,
therefore fair values are not directly impacted by change in
interest rates.
Foreign currency risk
The majority of the Company's income, expenses, assets and
liabilities are denominated in US dollars. However, the underlying
cash flows of the Company's investees are denominated in Ukrainian
hryvnias. Weakening of the Ukrainian hryvnia would have resulted in
decrease in fair value of loans receivable. Management believes
that it is impracticable to quantify the effect of the above
risk.
(d) Capital management
The Company has no formal policy for capital management but the
Directors seek to maintain a sufficient capital base for meeting
the Company's operational and strategic needs, and to maintain
confidence of market participants. This is achieved by efficient
cash management and constant monitoring of investment projects.
From time to time the Company purchases its own shares on the
market; the timing of these purchases depends on market prices. Buy
decisions are made on a specific transaction basis by the Board
within the limits approved by the Company's shareholders. The
Company does not have a defined share buy-back plan.
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital
management during the year.
The Company is not the subject to externally imposed capital
requirements.
