6. Group's Reliance on Suppliers and Consumers

  • Service Recipients

As regards the sale of residential and business units in H1 2020, the Group companies were not dependent on any service recipient. This stemmed from the fact that the Group's customers are mainly individuals who are generally perceived as the consumer group.

  • Service Providers

The Group companies were not dependent on specific service providers in H1 2020 - construction works are provided by a large variety of different businesses that compete with each other on the developed construction market in Poland, therefore the Group companies use the services of various construction companies in order to eliminate the risk of being dependent on one particular entity. Contracts for construction works are put up by the Group to tender, to make sure that only contractors that made the most favourable proposals have been selected. The Group's development projects are carried out mainly on a general contracting basis.

7. Significant Contracts, Insurance Agreements

  1. On 29 January 2020, in pursuance of the preliminary agreement of 24 September 2019, an Issuer's subsidiary
    - Warszawa Przyokopowa sp. z o.o. entered into a final sales and purchase agreement with an entity which was not related to the Issuer, concerning the sale of the perpetual usufruct right to parcels of land located at 33 Przyokopowa Street in Warsaw, including the right of ownership to an office building erected on the said land, known as the "Wola Center" building, along with tangible and intangible assets related to the said real property for a price of EUR 101,900,000 (plus an applicable rate of VAT and transaction costs).

In pursuance of the Preliminary Sales and Purchase Agreement, the Company undertook to the Purchaser to stand surety for the Seller, Warszawa Przyokopowa Sp. z o.o., under which it guaranteed that:

    1. The seller would perform the obligations and discharge the liabilities of Warszawa Przyokopowa Sp. z o.o., as the seller, arising from agreements covering the subject-matter of the transaction, and
    2. The Company would incur debts of Warszawa Przyokopowa Sp. z o.o. arising from obligations and liabilities of that company under the Sales and Purchase Agreement, if the seller ceased its operations, went into liquidation or was dissolved, which circumstances were described in the surety arrangements,
    3. The contractual penalty would be paid, should the purchaser withdraw from the preliminary agreement due to reasons attributable to the seller.
  1. On 5 March 2020, the Issuer and mBank S.A. concluded an amendment to the programme agreement of 2
    October 2018 ("the Programme Agreement") under which the Issuer set up a bond issue programme for its bonds up to the total amount (nominal value) of issued and outstanding bonds of PLN 400,000,000 ("the Issue Programme"). The amendment to the Programme Agreement is designed to adapt both the Programme
    Agreement and documentation relating to the Issue Programme to amended provisions of law that apply to the issue of bonds. Bonds issued under the amended Issue Programme ("the Bonds") will be tendered for purchase pursuant to Article 33(1) or (2) of the Bonds Act of 15 January 2015.

Apart from the aforesaid agreements, in H1 2020 the Group companies did not enter into any significant agreements the value of which would be at least 10% of the Issuer's equity. As regards other agreements of great significance to the Group companies (in particular those relating to financing and purchase of real property), have been referred to in this report.

During the period ended 30 June 2020, the Group earned revenues from sales of PLN 220,079,000 and the net profit of PLN 8,817,000.

Major factors and events that had considerable impact on the financial performance of the Group within the period of 6 months ended 30 June 2020 include, but are not limited to the following:

  1. The sale (delivery) of residential and retail units located in development properties;
  2. A growth in the EUR to PLN exchange rate (4.4660) as at 30 June 2020, compared with the EUR to PLN exchange rate effective on 31 December 2019 (4.3018), which had a bearing on the conversion of the EUR value of investment property to PLN and of loans in EUR taken out to obtain funding for the said real property;
  3. The revaluation of commercial property, in particular a decrease in the valuation of Arkady Wrocławskie and Sky Tower resulting from a change that took place on the local retail property market in Wrocław and the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  4. Effects of announcement of the COVID-19 epidemic on the Group's current operations described in detail in section IV.7.

7. Analysis of COVID-19 Impact

An important factor that affected the Group's current operations in H1 2020 was the state of COVID-19 epidemic announced in that period.

January and February 2020 saw very good sales, however, after that period the Group recorded a significant drop in the number of new sales contracts concluded in April 2020, and although May and June saw increasing sales volume, the result for the entire quarter and half year was worse than in corresponding periods of 2019.

After the balance-sheet date, i.e. in the period between July and August 2020, the higher number of flats sold could be observed (higher sales than in the corresponding period of the previous year). Consequently, the current sales figures give an optimistic outlook on the situation of the housing market and its prospects.

In Q2, due to an outbreak of the epidemic, the Group decided to change its investment plan, delaying the implementation of some housing projects, starting to phase individual projects over a longer period and changing the order of construction works for multi-stage projects - with next stages being chosen for implementation in consideration of a changing market situation.

Furthermore, the Group also noted a delay in the process of issuing administrative decisions, e.g. decisions on building permit, which stemmed from the fact that time limits for administrative authorities to give such decisions were suspended on account of the epidemic.

The Management Board monitor, on a daily basis, works progress on sites, and no major effects of the epidemic on project schedules were observed. As regards projects already completed and scheduled to be completed in this year, no delays in delivering premises to clients are envisaged by the Group.

The COVID-19 pandemic had also a considerable impact on the Group's operations in the commercial segment, it was reflected in revenues and cash flows generated by commercial buildings with a significant share in commercial floor space - these changes resulted in a lower value of investment real property - Arkady Wrocławskie and Sky Tower by a total of EUR 11,240,000.

VI. MANAGEMENT BOARD'S OPINION REGARDING FEASIBILITY OF MEETING EARLIER PUBLISHED FINANCIAL FORECASTS FOR GIVEN YEAR, IN VIEW OF RESULTS PRESENTED IN SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT AS COMPARED TO FORECAST RESULTS

The Issuer did not publish any financial forecasts for the year 2020.

VII. COURT PROCEEDINGS

As at 30 June 2020, there were no significant proceedings before the court or arbitration or public administration authorities with regard to liabilities or receivables of the Issuer or its subsidiaries, the value of which would have an important bearing on the financial standing of the Group companies. The subsidiary undertakings of the Issuer are parties to court and public administration proceedings whose value is insignificant for their operations or financial standing. The vast majority of other cases relate to claims lodged by subsidiaries of the Issuer against their debtors. Provisions for legal actions are shown in Note 28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

VIII. FACTORS WHICH IN ISSUER'S OPINION MAY AFFECT ITS PERFORMANCE AT LEAST IN PERSPECTIVE OF FOLLOWING QUARTER

The results achieved by the Develia S.A. Group will be highly affected by a macroeconomic situation, in particular when considering the availability of mortgage loans for potential clients and the development of economic situation amidst the epidemic. These factors are strong determinants of the demand for new apartments and the structure and price thereof. In addition, a factor that might have a bearing on demand for flats is uncertainty about a slowdown in the global economy due to coronavirus, which may also translate into customers deciding to refrain from purchasing flats.

According to IFRS 15, the Develia S.A. Group recognises the revenue from the sale of residential and business premises on the transfer of control thereof to the client. As a consequence, in the next quarter the results of sale will depend on the value of premises transferred to the client in line with the above description.

The operating performance of the Group will be also influenced by the level of revenue generated from the rental of commercial space in the following developments: Arkady Wrocławskie, Sky Tower and Wola Retro, which is linked to the EUR exchange rate. The EUR exchange rate will also affect the valuation of foreign currency loans and investment property Arkady Wrocławskie, Sky Tower and Wola Retro.

19

Management Board's Report on Operations of Develia S.A. Group for H1 2020

In the long term, in the opinion of the Management Board, the following will also influence the Group's performance:

  • implementation of the strategy of acquiring land for residential buildings and carrying out investments on the land to ensure the appropriate offering scale of the Group, adequate to the demand on the market,
  • A shift in an attitude towards commercial property in the Develia's Group portfolio, manifested through an opportunity for the sale of selected assets;
  • Increasing construction costs of new development projects, which may have a direct bearing on margins achieved in the future;
  • Increasing costs of funding raised through the issue of bonds and limited access to this market, associated with the current situation on the capital market and a possibility that more stringent regulations may be brought in;
  • Further uncertainty over the epidemic situation in Poland and all around the world.

IX. OTHER INFORMATION DEEMED BY ISSUER AS RELEVANT FOR ASSESSMENT OF ITS PERSONNEL, ASSETS, FINANCIAL AND PROFIT/LOSS STANDING AND CHANGES THEREOF AND INFORMATION RELEVANT FOR FEASIBILITY OF FULFILLING ITS OBLIGATIONS

Apart from the events referred to in the Financial Statements and the Report on the operations of the Group, in the reporting period ended 30 June 2020 there were no other events which would have any impact on the assessment of the Group's personnel, assets and financial standing and on the evaluation of the Issuer's feasibility of discharging its obligations.

  1. INFORMATION ON SINGLE OR MANY TRANSACTIONS CONCLUDED BY ISSUER OR ITS SUBSIDIARY UNDERTAKING WITH RELATED ENTITIES (IF THEY ARE SIGNIFICANT INDIVIDUALLY OR COLLECTIVELY AND IF MADE ON TERMS OTHER THAN AT ARM'S LENGTH)

  3. The contractual penalty would be paid, should the purchaser withdraw from the preliminary agreement due to reasons attributable to the seller.

In the reporting period ended 30 June 2020, neither the Issuer nor any of its subsidiaries gave any significant surety or guarantee to the benefit of other entities, except for those mentioned above.

XII. SPECIFICATION OF SIGNIFICANT RISK FACTORS FOR GROUP'S OPERATIONS

The Issuer is of the opinion that the risk factors, which - to the best of the Issuer's knowledge - have been identified below, are exhaustive. Nevertheless, the Issuer does not rule out the possibility that the below list of risks may change as a result of the Group companies' operations. Certain risks may occur in the future, which now cannot be foreseen, for instance, random risks that will be beyond the control of the Group. The Issuer, while presenting the risk factors in the following order, did not take into consideration the possibility of their occurrence or the order of priority.

COVID-19 Risk

A risk factor affecting the Issuer's and its Group's operations in H2 2020 is an epidemic of COVID-19, which started in March 2020. A possible rise in the number of people being sick with COVID-19 in Poland and restrictions introduced to limit the social and economic life can change the lifestyle of many people and also affect the structure of demand for flats, and consequently their prices, and as regards commercial real property - rent revenue, pressure created by tenants to lower rent rates and even termination of lease contracts.

20

Management Board's Report on Operations of Develia S.A. Group for H1 2020

As at the date hereof, the Issuer's Management Board are not able to determine possible consequences of the COVID-19 epidemic, however, actions are being taken to reduce this risk by providing proper security for the Company's financial liquidity, implement precautionary measures in line with the World Health Organisation's and the Polish Chief Sanitary Inspectorate's recommendations and monitor, on a daily basis, the epidemic situation and its impact on the Company's activities.

Risks Associated With Situation on Financial and Real Property Markets

Factors that might affect the Group's operations negatively include a policy pursued by the banking sector in relation to development companies, as the developers' lending level will have an important bearing on the number of new projects launched. Also, a policy on mortgage loans adopted by the banking sector towards individuals is a major risk factor. Stringent criteria applied by banks when assessing clients to calculate their credit score caused difficulties for prospective buyers of flats, whose creditworthiness is poor. A lack of new credit solutions and the scarce availability of loans may be a factor behind lower demand for new flats and houses. Further, a situation on the bond market is difficult to predict, which is of relevance to the Group companies, as they use bonds to secure funding.

A situation on the housing market (fluctuations in supply/demand) also affects the Group's operations to a large extent. The ups and downs of the commercial real property market play also an influential role, as they affect lease rent levels and the valuation of commercial real property (due to capitalisation rates (yield) that are effective on the market). A continuing rise in the prices of residential premises is expected on the housing market, which can be caused by the fact that land for construction is becoming more and more expensive, and the costs of contractors' services are also soaring. On top of that, the availability of land has been reduced by regulations on trading in agricultural land. Furthermore, it is envisaged that the number of units purchased for investment purposes can grow, as the acquisition of real property is considered to be a more advantageous form investing capital than bank deposits, however, this trend can be bucked if interest rates go up. The Management Board are of the opinion that possible disturbances to the real estate market caused by coronavirus, inter alia, customers' decision to avoid public places, which may result in a lower turnout for the retail and services areas of commercial real property owned by the Group. In addition, there is uncertainty about a slowdown in the global economy due to coronavirus, which may translate into customers deciding to refrain from purchasing flats.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Companies responsible for the management of commercial premises record in their books proceeds from lease and liabilities arising from financing agreements, which are denominated in Euro (EUR). Consequently, the Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk caused by the volatility of PLN to EUR exchange rates.

The currency risk arising from the servicing of a foreign currency loan is minimised by collecting rents indexed against the currency of the loan financing the investment. The risk posed by time differences, between invoicing and the repayment of the loan is minimised, depending on the market situation, by the purchase of a proper amount of currency at the dates of invoicing rents.

The foreign exchange risk concerns also the balance-sheet valuation of commercial real property and the valuation of loans (obtained for the financing of investment), which as at the balance-sheet date are translated from EUR to PLN at an average exchange rate published by the National Bank of Poland on such a day.

A decline in the EUR exchange rate leads to a drop in the fair value of investment real property, the measurement of which is made in EUR and converted to PLN - this is reflected in the "Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income" under "Profit/(Loss) on Investment Property", and to a drop in the measurement of liabilities arising from loans taken out in EUR for the construction of investment property - this has been recognised in the "Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income" under "Financial Income". Consequently, a decrease in the EUR exchange rate has a direct bearing on the lower consolidated gross profit.

Similarly, a climb in the EUR exchange rate leads to an increase in the fair value of investment real property, the measurement of which is made in EUR and converted to PLN - this is reflected in the "Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income" under "Profit/(Loss) on Investment Property", and to a rise in the measurement of liabilities arising from loans taken out in EUR for the construction of investment property - this has been recognised in the "Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income" under "Financial Income". Consequently, a climb in the EUR exchange rate has a direct bearing on the higher consolidated gross profit.

The fair value measurement of assets in EUR (investment property), expressed in the financial statements at the average exchange rate of the National Bank of Poland, and the valuation of loans in EUR, reported in the financial statements at the same rate can cause significant unrealised foreign exchange differences. The table below shows the sensitivity of a net financial result to possible fluctuations of the Euro exchange rates, on the assumption of the invariability of other factors. Because of a considerable instability of euro exchange rate in recent years, the sensitivity of the financial result for this year is presented for a change by 20 groszy.

The change in the EUR exchange rate is of a non-cash nature and has no bearing on the current position and operating activities of the Group companies.

Interest Rate Risk

The interest rate risk relates mainly to non-current financial liabilities, based on a floating interest rate. This risk is partly compensated by the indexation of revenue from lease in the Group companies which are engaged in the management of commercial premises. Some companies which have raised financing through long-term investment loans, pursuant to provisions contained in such loan agreements, enter into transactions hedging against the risk of an interest rate increase and adopt a hedge accounting approach. Nevertheless, a risk associated with an increase in interest rates may also be a reason behind the reduced availability of loans necessary for the Group's customers to obtain funding for the purchase of residential units and may have a negative impact on their decision to buy such units for investment purposes with a view to leasing them and reaping benefits instead of making bank deposits. Furthermore, in view of the fact that the Company raises funding necessary for its operations through issuing bonds and taking out floating interest rate loans, changes in the rates of interest will also have a direct bearing on financial performance.

Credit Risk

The Group always seeks to conclude transactions with renowned entities of good credit capacity. Moreover, owing to the current monitoring of receivables, the Group's exposure to the risk of uncollectible receivables is negligible. With regard to the Group's other financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents, the Group's credit risk is minimal, because the Group deposits its funds in banks of good and stable financial standing. There is no significant concentration of credit risk in the Group.

Liquidity Risk

The Group aims to maintain a balance between the continuity and flexibility of financing, by means of using different sources of financing such as bank loans and bonds. The Group has its own funds which are used for securing day- to-day operations and ongoing development projects, however, it is required to obtain further financing through taking out bank loans or issuing bonds to expand the business. When setting repayment dates of further loan instalments, the Company strives to make sure that proceeds from the sales of individual projects are already available. Having considered the present situation on the corporate bond market, access to this source of financing may be limited. Consequently, there is a risk that the parameters of debt financing would deteriorate in terms of amounts, terms and costs.

Development Project Risk

Development projects, due to their complex nature, both in terms of legal and technical aspects, carry multiple significant risks. These risks include, without limitation, a failure to obtain permits necessary for using land in accordance with the Group's plans; delays in the completion of construction; costs higher than the costs envisaged in the budget, arising from unfavourable weather conditions; contractors' or subcontractors' insolvency; higher general contracting costs; increase in construction material costs; industrial disputes affecting contractors or subcontractors; a shortage of materials or construction equipment; accidents or unexpected technical difficulties; impossibility to obtain permits necessary for handing over a building or buildings for operation or other required permits; or changes in regulations governing the use of land. In the event that any of the foregoing risks occur, the development projects may be delayed, costs may increase or revenues can be lost, funds invested in the purchase of land for a development project can be frozen, and in certain circumstances, even inability to complete the project, which may have a significant negative impact on the Group's operations, financial standing or performance.

Risk Associated With Higher Construction Costs

Apart from a rise in property prices, a substantial risk includes also continuously increasing costs of project implementation, resulting from higher costs of construction materials and a shortage of construction labour, higher salaries, as well as the considerable number of development projects carried out concurrently. An increase in the

22

Management Board's Report on Operations of Develia S.A. Group for H1 2020

contractors' costs and material prices will significantly influence the profitability of development projects, especially if the prices of flats do not climb proportionately and lease rents do not go up in respect of new commercial properties. It is difficult to foresee how these trends will develop in the near future.

Administration and Construction Risk

Imperfections in regulations of the Polish legal system may lead to administrative decisions (e.g. a building permit) being issued by construction authorities in contravention of law, which can consequently result in a complaint being lodged against such decisions by third parties having interest to do so. A complaint (whether legitimate or not) brought against such decisions, may be a reason behind withholding the project development process, and have a direct bearing on worse project profitability. Consequently, this can translate into the project owner's poorer financial performance. Furthermore, an essential risk, which is more and more frequently faced, includes requests made by local authorities that make the issuing of a building permit contingent on extra conditions which do not arise from law. The incapacity of administration authorities and administrative courts to issue decisions on time not only extends the very development process, but also the preparation of development projects before their commencement.

Risk Associated With Legislative Changes

Another risk that the Group companies carrying out residential projects may run is an announced amendment to the Development Law, which is to impose an obligation to have closed escrow accounts instead of open ones, introduce mandatory contributions to the guaranteed development fund and bring about changes to the construction law understood in a general sense. Imposing the obligation to have closed escrow accounts may change, to a large extent, the manner in which projects are financed today, as funds necessary for construction works will have to be obtained from a loan facility or the developer's own sources. Consequently, this may lead to reduction in competition by way of eliminating smaller developers. Moreover, as far as legislative changes are concerned, yet another risk that can lessen the possibility of carrying out a development project is an announced amendment designed to limit the number of cases when planning permission may be granted or even completely abolish the duty to give such permission, resulting thus in reduced development opportunities. On the other hand, the introduction of mandatory contributions to the guaranteed development fund will increase the developers' financial burden and reduce the profitability of development projects, consequently having an impact on the entire development industry.

Risk Associated With Liability After Sale of Residential Premises and Houses

The Group's operations include specifically the sale of flats and houses. Therefore, the Group might be exposed to disputes and court proceedings relating to completed projects, as a result of which the Group companies may be required to perform specific acts or pay specific consideration (e.g. arising from a warranty given to customers for construction works). This may have negative effects on the Group's business, financial standing or performance.

Risk from Competitors

The Group companies, as the owners of office, retail and services buildings, are exposed to the risk of intense competition from other similar facilities that already operate on the same markets or are being prepared for opening. In this regard, a risk is faced particularly by companies which run retail and services facilities in Wrocław, following the opening of a new shopping centre "Wroclavia" in the immediate vicinity. In practice, based on preliminary data pertaining to turnover generated by the "Arkady Wrocławskie" shopping centre, this risk is to be perceived as high. Also, the development of the office and commercial property market may lead, among other things, to the excess supply of office and retail and services property. Each of the aforesaid risks, whether considered individually or collectively, may have a negative impact on the current operations, financial standing and performance of the Group.

Property Price and Lease Rent Risks

The profit-earning capacity of the Group companies depends, among other things, on the prices of residential units and the rates of lease rent for office and service floor space in Poland. Should these prices plummet down,this may have negative effects on the Group's business, financial standing or performance. Moreover, a significant risk results from a rise in investment property prices and the lack of well-prepared development projects which have both spatial development plans and planning permission in place, so much necessary for the quick completion of works for the property. Nowadays, developers have to assume greater risks when buying real property and meet a requirement to obtain administrative decisions requisite for the development process. In turn, this causes a risk that the commencement of works for such an investment property may be postponed. In addition, a factor that might have a bearing on demand for flats is uncertainty about a slowdown in the global economy due to coronavirus, which may also translate into customers deciding to refrain from purchasing flats.

Management Board's Report on Operations of Develia S.A. Group for H1 2020

In addition, another risk that Group companies engaged in the management of shopping centres face is the further impact of the COVID-19 and the enacted statutory prohibition on Sunday trading, which in 2020 concerns almost all Sundays (only five Sundays are exempted from this prohibition). This resulted in a lower turnout, pressure being created by tenants to lower rent rates and reduction in rent for new lease contracts, consequently, leading to lower revenues.

Risk management is performed at Develia S.A. through a formal process of periodic identification, analysis and assessment of risk factors. The aforesaid risk identification process is designed to establish proper procedures and processes aiming to eliminate or minimise risks for both the Group and the Company.

XIII. CONCLUSIONS

In H1 2020, the Group continued development projects commenced in the previous periods, launched new ones and looked for new land for potential acquisition, despite the fact that the state of epidemic was announced in Poland.

The Group is persistent in pursuing a strategy orientated towards the activity in two segments: residential and commercial property.

The sale of the "Wola Center" building in 2020 (and of two other buildings - "Retro Office House" and "Silesia Star" in 2019), as well as the completion of the "Wola Retro" project will provide the Group with capital for further projects and the liquidity buffer in the event that a negative market scenario arising from the epidemic of coronavirus unfolds.

The Group companies fulfil, as they always did in the past, obligations towards the State Treasury, financial institutions and business partners in a timely fashion. A good and stable financial standing of the Group creates an opportunity for its further growth and financing necessary for day-to-day activity - both operating and investment ones.

The Management Board of Develia S.A. hereby declare that there is no risk to the Company's or the Group's operation as a going concern.
