(PSC) (the Company or the Parent ) was incorporated in Dubai on 20 June 1976 as a Public Stock Company and operates in the United Arab Emirates under a trade license issued in Dubai. The address of the Company s registered office is P.O. Box 12265, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The majority shareholder and ultimate controlling party is Mr. Hussain Sajwani (the Chairman ). The Parent and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group ) are involved in the development of properties in the Middle East. 2. Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) 2.1 New and revised IFRS applied with no material effect on the consolidated financial statements The following new and revised IFRS, which became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, have been adopted in these consolidated financial statements. The application of these revised and new IFRS has not had any material impact on the amounts reported for the current and prior years but may affect the accounting for future transactions or arrangements. Amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation relating to application guidance on the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities. Amendments to IAS 36 Recoverable Amount Disclosures The amendments restrict the requirements to disclose the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU to the period in which an impairment loss has been recognised or reversed. They also expand and clarify the disclosure requirements applicable when an asset or CGU's recoverable amount has been determined on the basis of fair value less costs of disposal. Amendments to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting The amendment allows the continuation of hedge accounting when a derivative is novated to a clearing counterparty and certain conditions are met. Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 - Guidance on Investment Entities On 31 October 2012, the IASB published a standard on investment entities, which amends IFRS 10, IFRS 12, and IAS 27 and introduces the concept of an investment entity in IFRS.

14 Damac Properties Dubai Co. (PSC) Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) (continued) 2.2 New and revised IFRS in issue but not yet effective and not early adopted The Group has not early applied the following new standards, amendments and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective: New and revised IFRSs Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures relating to disclosures about the initial application of IFRS 9 IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Additional hedge accounting disclosures (and consequential amendments) resulting from the introduction of the hedge accounting chapter in IFRS 9. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2009) issued in November 2009 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2010) revised in October 2010 includes the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities, and carrying over the existing derecognition requirements from IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2013) was revised in November 2013 to incorporate a hedge accounting chapter and permit the early application of the requirements for presenting in other comprehensive income the own credit gains or losses on financial liabilities designated under the fair value option without early applying the other requirements of IFRS 9. Finalised version of IFRS 9 (IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2014)) was issued in July 2014 incorporating requirements for classification and measurement, impairment, general hedge accounting and derecognition. IFRS 9 (2009) and IFRS 9 (2010) were superseded by IFRS 9 (2013) and IFRS 9 (2010) also superseded IFRS 9 (2009). IFRS 9 (2014) supersedes all previous versions of the standard. The various standards also permit various transitional options. Accordingly, entities can effectively choose which parts of IFRS 9 they apply, meaning they can choose to apply: (1) the classification and measurement requirements for financial assets: (2) the classification and measurement requirements for both financial assets and financial liabilities: (3) the classification and measurement requirements and the hedge accounting requirements provided that the relevant date of the initial application is before 1 February Effective for annual periods beginning on or after When IFRS 9 is first applied When IFRS 9 is first applied 1 January 2018

15 Damac Properties Dubai Co. (PSC) Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) (continued) 2.2 New and revised IFRS in issue but not yet effective and not early adopted (continued) New and revised IFRSs IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, IFRS 15 was issued which established a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related interpretations when it becomes effective. The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer. Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Step 3: Determine the transaction price. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Under IFRS 15, an entity recognises when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when 'control' of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in IFRS 15 to deal with specific scenarios. Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by IFRS 15. Annual Improvements to IFRS Cycle that include amendments to IFRS 5, IFRS 7, IAS 19 and IAS 34. Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 to clarify the acceptable methods of depreciation and amortization. Amendments to IFRS 11 to clarify accounting for acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations. Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 require biological assets that meet the definition of a bearer plant to be accounted for as property, plant and equipment in accordance with IAS 16. Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 clarify that the recognition of the gain or loss on the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture depends on whether the assets sold or contributed constitute a business. Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 clarifying certain aspects of applying the consolidation exception for investment entities. Amendments to IAS 27 allow an entity to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates either at cost, in accordance with IAS 39/IFRS 9 or using the equity method in an entity's separate financial statements. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January January January January January January January January 2016

16 Damac Properties Dubai Co. (PSC) Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) (continued) 2.2 New and revised IFRS in issue but not yet effective and not early adopted (continued) New and revised IFRSs Amendments to IAS 1 to address perceived impediments to preparers exercising their judgment in presenting their financial reports. Annual Improvements to IFRS Cycle that includes amendments to IFRS 2, IFRS 3, IFRS 8, IFRS 13, IAS 16, IAS 38 and IAS 24. Annual Improvements to IFRS Cycle that includes amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 3, IFRS 13 and IAS 40. Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits clarify the requirements that relate to how contributions from employees or third parties that are linked to service should be attributed to periods of service. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January July July July 2014 Management anticipates that these new standards, interpretations and amendments will be adopted in the Group s consolidated financial statements for the period beginning 1 January 2015 or as and when they are applicable and adoption of these new standards, interpretations and amendments, except for IFRS 9 and IFRS 15, may have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group in the period of initial application. Management anticipates that IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 will be adopted in the Group s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 January 2017 and 1 January 2018 respectively. The application of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 may have significant impact on amounts reported and disclosures made in the Group s consolidated financial statements in respect of revenue from contracts with customers and the Group s financial assets and financial liabilities. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of effects of the application of these standards until the Group performs a detailed review. 3. Significant accounting policies 3.1 Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ). 3.2 Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Arab Emirates Dirhams ( AED ) which is the Group s reporting currency. The individual financial statements of each Group entity are prepared in local currency, being the currency in the primary economic environment in which these entities operate (the functional currency).

17 Damac Properties Dubai Co. (PSC) Significant accounting policies (continued) The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. 3.3 Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved when the Group: has power over the investee; is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. 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 meeting When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it: Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary; Derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest; Derecognizes the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity; Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received; Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained; Recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit and loss; Reclassifies the parent s share of components previously recognized in other comprehensive income to profit and loss or retained earnings, as appropriate. The financial statements of the subsidiaries owned through special purpose entities (intermediary parent companies) are prepared for the same reporting period as the company, using consistent accounting policies. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those adopted at Group level. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits or losses resulting from intra- Group transactions are eliminated in full on consolidation.

18 Damac Properties Dubai Co. (PSC) Significant accounting policies (continued) Disposal of gypsum business On 30 June 2014, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement with the Chairman for the sale of its Gypsum business for a consideration of AED 7 million (Note 25). After this disposal, the Company has become a holding company only with no assets or liabilities in its standalone books other than the ownership interest in Damac Real Estate Development Limited, DIFC and its subsidiaries ( DRED ) as described in the note below Investment in associate On 18 March 2014, the Company acquired a further 46% shares in Imtiaz Holding Limited to bring the ownership of the Company in DRED to 50%. On 24 March 2014, Mr. Nabil Ahmed resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company and was replaced with Mr. Adil Taqi, who is also the Chief Financial Officer of DRED. As a result, the Group determined that it exercised significant influence on DRED from 24 March The related investment revaluation reserve of AED 1,282 million at 24 March 2014, previously recognised in equity, had been released to profit or loss for the period ended 31 March 2014 as Gain realised on recognition of investment in an associate. Effective 30 June 2014, the Group sold its direct investment in DRED to the Chairman. After this disposal, the Company became a holding company with no assets or liabilities in its standalone books other than a receivable from the Chairman of AED 5,305.3 million Acquisition of controlling interest in DRED Effective 30 June 2014 (the Acquisition Date ), the Company was transferred 85.7% of the ownership interest in DRED. The ownership interest was attained by the Chairman transferring his ownership interest of 85.7% in DRED held through five holding companies in lieu for settlement of outstanding balances due from the Chairman to the Company as shown below: Name of the entity Place of incorporation and operations Principal activities Beneficial interest and effective control Najah Company Limited British Virgin Islands Holding Company 100% Al Khazna Company Limited British Virgin Islands Holding Company 100% Imtiaz Holding Limited British Virgin Islands Holding Company 100% Sahira Company Limited British Virgin Islands Holding Company 100% Al Firdous Holding Limited British Virgin Islands Holding Company 100% The acquisition has resulted in the proportionate transfer of voting rights and power over DRED and the Group is able to exhibit control on DRED from 30 June From 30 June 2014, the Group consolidated the five holding entities noted above and the 76 entities which together constitute the DRED Group. Under the terms of the signed Share Purchase Agreement executed on 30 June 2014, 100% of the assets, liabilities, investment revaluation reserve and retained earnings of the DRED Group have been transferred to the Company at net book value as disclosed in Note 26.

19 Damac Properties Dubai Co. (PSC) Significant accounting policies (continued) Subsequent event An offer was made to eligible holders of Global Depository Receipts (the GDRs ) representing ordinary shares in DRED to exchange their GDRs for ordinary shares in the Company at a defined exchange rate. The offer closed on 9 January 2015 at which point 97.44% of the GDR holders accepted the offer. The shares issued to the GDR holders were listed on the Dubai Financial Market on 12 January As at 12 January 2015, the Company owns 99.63% of DRED. 3.4 Business combinations Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for each acquisition 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 acquire and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquistion-related costs are generally recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as incurred. At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, 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 the replacement by the Group of an acquiree s share-based payment awards 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 noncontrolling 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 of recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income 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 intially measured either at fair value at the non-controlling interests proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree s identifiable net assets. The choice of the measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at the fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another IFRS. Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, is measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in such fair values are adjusted against the cost of acquisition where they qualify as measurement period adjustments. All other subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability are accounted for in accordance with the relevant IFRS. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as equity are not recognised.

(PSC) Significant accounting policies (continued) 3.4 Business combinations (continued) Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group s previously held interests in the acquired entity are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date the Group attains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to consolidated statement of profit or loss, where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of. If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. The provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that date. 3.5 Revenue recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The major component of the Group s revenue has been from the sale of land plots from the Group s development properties. The Group recognises revenue when it is probable that the economic benefits from the sale will flow to the Group, the revenue and costs can be measured reliably and the risks and rewards of ownership of the unit have been transferred to the buyer. At the point of revenue recognition the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the units/land plots sold. Sale of properties This represents the revenue recognised for the sale of individual units from the Group s development properties. The Group determines the point of recognition to be when the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. This is the point at which handover of units to the buyer has occurred. Sale of land Revenue from sale of land is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the land have passed to the buyer. This is considered to be the point at which the buyer has right of access, construction, assignment and sale. Contracts for provision of construction services Where the outcome of a contract for the provision of construction services can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the statement of financial position date, measured as the proportion that contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that they have been agreed with the customer.

21 Damac Properties Dubai Co. (PSC) Significant accounting policies (continued) 3.5 Revenue recognition (continued) Contracts for provision of construction services (continued) Where the outcome of such a contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Where it is probable that the total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. Repossession of units In some instances, particularly when the buyer has missed payment obligations on outstanding amounts due, after units have been handed over, the Group exercises its right to recover units as per the terms of the contracts in place with the customer. The unit repossessed is recognised in development properties at the cost incurred in enacting the repossession. Management fees Management fees principally relate to property management services provided to owners of the Group s completed developments. Revenue in respect of these fees is recognised in line with the property management contracts and, following the accrual basis, is recognised in the period to which the services relate. Interest income Interest income is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a timely basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition. Cost of sales Cost of sales includes the cost of land and development costs. Development costs include the cost of infrastructure and construction. The cost of development properties recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on sale is determined with reference to the specific cost incurred on the property sold through allocation based on the relative area of the property sold. 3.6 Development properties Properties acquired, or being developed with the intention of sale are classified as development properties. These are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost principally includes the cost of the land and construction cost and all other costs which are necessary to get the properties ready for sale. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling value, based on sales relevant in the year, less costs to be incurred in selling the properties.

22 Damac Properties Dubai Co. (PSC) Significant accounting policies (continued) 3.7 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 reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where 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. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the 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. 3.8 Property and equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified impairment loss. The cost of property and equipment is the purchase consideration together with any incidental costs of acquisition. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group s accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets commences when the assets are ready for their intended use. Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost other than freehold land and properties under construction, over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each year end, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The following useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation: Years Buildings 15 Furniture and fixtures 6 Tools and office equipment 6 Motor vehicles 6 The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 3.9 Impairment of tangible assets At each reporting date, 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, typically the development project, 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.

23 Damac Properties Dubai Co. (PSC) Significant accounting policies (continued) 3.9 Impairment of tangible assets (continued) 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 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 the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. 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 recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase Provision for employees end of service benefits The Group provides end of service benefits to its expatriate employees. The entitlement to these benefits is usually based upon the employees final salary and length of service, subject to the completion of a minimum service period as stipulated in the Labour Laws of the respective countries of operations. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued over the period of employment Leases For the years ended 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2014, the Group did not have any finance leases and all leases have been classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where 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 where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed Foreign currencies The consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented in United Arab Emirates Dirham ( AED ), being the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (the functional currency).

24 Damac Properties Dubai Co. (PSC) Significant accounting policies (continued) 3.12 Foreign currencies (continued) At each reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the closing rates prevailing at the reporting 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 are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when an entity from the Group 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 are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Financial assets Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: loans and receivables and available-for-sale ( AFS ). The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. 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 time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables including trade and other receivables, other financial assets and cash and bank balances (excluding advances to suppliers and prepayments) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. Available-for-sale financial assets The Group s investments in shares are classified as being available-for-sale and are stated at fair value. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 28. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in equity within other comprehensive income. Gains and losses arising from impairment losses or changes in future cash flows are recognized directly in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

25 Damac Properties Dubai Co. (PSC) Significant accounting policies (continued) 3.13 Financial instruments (continued) Financial assets (continued) Effective interest method The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows (including all fees and 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. Impairment of financial assets Financial assets of the Group are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, that the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. Objective evidence of impairment could include: significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interests or principal payments; or it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation; or the disappearance of an active market. For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of a provision account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the provision account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the provision account. Changes in the carrying amount of the provision account are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 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 the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income 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.
