2013 Annual Report

2.3 Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
2013 has been another challenging year for Orascom Development
Holding AG. Although the year started out with an increase in
occupancy and revenue levels, the civilian unrest following the June
30th upheavals in Egypt, along with the ongoing political uncertainty,
has negatively impacted most of the Egyptian economic sectors
and particularly the tourism sector, the Group’s major sector of
operation. The imposed travel warnings, travel bans and severe airlift
cuts from major European feeder markets significantly impacted
our hotel operations, and the missing revenues kept delaying our
projects under development. Nevertheless, we achieved significant
progress in many areas: We added 147 new hotel rooms in Oman
and Switzerland to our diversified portfolio, managed to maintain the
average occupancy rate at 51% despite the turmoil, and increased
our real estate sales compared to last year. Furthermore we have
implemented a number of structural reforms, successfully executed
on our monetization schedule and launched a comprehensive
group-wide cost savings program.
Development of destinations progressing according to plan
Orascom Development’s destinations have developed according to
plan. In March 2013 I became the majority shareholder (51%) of our
Swiss subsidiary Andermatt Swiss Alps (ASA), and committed to invest
at least CHF 150 million into ASA to secure funding of the critical
size of the resort until 2017. Orascom Development, as an important
shareholder (49%), remains committed to the project and will benefit
from any future upside. In December 2013, after a construction
period of nearly four years, we celebrated the handover of The Chedi
Andermatt (105 rooms), a 5-star deluxe hotel, to the operator General
Hotel Management. The opening attracted a lot of regional and
international media attention and will help us to promote the destination
in Andermatt in the future.
In our flagship destination El Gouna on the Red Sea in Egypt we
completed the development of the Ancient Sands Resort, which offers
an 18-hole golf course and luxury real estate and also completed the
construction of the El Gouna cable park, the first complete water sports
complex in the Middle East.
In general real estate sales in El Gouna benefited from the safe haven
status of the destination and showed a pick-up in volume versus 2012.
The Makadi project near Hurghada is at an advanced stage. In February
2014, we opened a 4-star hotel with 287 rooms and managed to
maintain a good sales volume for real estate throughout the year. In
Oman, we secured the funding to finish the construction of the Rotana
Hotel (399 rooms) in Salalah Beach which was launched in March 2014. Our
project in Montenegro is progressing nicely with increasing sales volumes as
we started construction of the first ten apartment buildings together with our
partner Besix in June 2013. Additionally, plans are currently put in place to
start construction of the marina basin in 2014.
As highlighted last year, we will continue to focus on the advancement and funding
of our existing destinations, and we have no plans to add additional development
projects to our portfolio in the near future. We believe that our existing land bank
offers enough potential for organic growth for the next decade.
Optimization of internal structures
In 2013 we continued to optimize our internal structures, to realize synergies
and to increase the efficiency of our operations. One of the key focus areas
was the transformation of the old Swiss management holding into a leaner,
more efficient investment holding structure that is fully adapted to the current
economic and financial challenges. An important element of this initiative is to
strengthen the management capacity of the local subsidiaries and to improve
the quality of senior management. Furthermore we started to review and align
our Human Resources practices with Orascom Development’s strategy,
values and evolving needs, as well as to right-size the construction activities of
the Group to better reflect internal and external demand.
Shortly before the end of the year we announced the establishment of a joint
venture with Abdelhamid Abouyoussef under the name of ‘Orascom Hotels
Management’ (OHM) to asset manage the hotels of the Group. Abdelhamid
Abouyoussef is the owner and managing director of 1,600 hotel rooms
throughout Egypt, and we trust in his expertise to further strengthen the hotel
segment’s capacity and performance.
Changes in the Board of Directors and Executive Management
At the fifth Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2013 all members of the Board
of Directors, with the exception of Luciano Gabriel, stood for re-election and
were confirmed in their office for a further year. In addition, Eskandar Tooma
and Marco Sieber were elected as new members of the Board of Directors for
a one year period. Subsequent to the 2013 Annual General Meeting Nicolas
Cournoyer decided to step down from the Board, effective October 1, 2013.
Further to the changes in the Board of Directors, we saw two changes in the
Executive Management. Raymond Cron, COO, decided to leave Orascom
Development effective July 1, 2013 to pursue career opportunities outside the
Group. Secondly, Eskandar Tooma was appointed ad-interim CFO effective
September 1, 2013, following the decision of Ahmed El Shamy, who joined the
Group in 2012, to resign due to health reasons.
After the balance sheet date and effective March 1, 2014 I took over the
responsibilities of the Group CEO from Gerhard Niesslein on an ad-interim
basis. This change was a joint decision between the Board of Directors and
Mr. Niesslein. Furthermore, effective March 1, 2014 Abdelhamid Abouyoussef
took over the responsibilities of Mahmoud Zuaiter (Ex-CEO of International
Hotels Holding and former Group CFO) as Chief Hotels Officer and became
a member of the Executive Management team. On April 14, 2014, the Board of
Directors endorsed a new organizational structure for Orascom Development
that better reflects the current business needs and supports the restructuring of
the Group. The newly assembled five-headed Executive Management team will
continue to be led by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and will further consist
of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Chief Hotels Officer, Chief Real Estate &
Development Officer as well as Chief Human Resources Officer.
Outlook for 2014
Egypt continues to be in a political transition phase and overall visibility
remains low. Nevertheless, I am convinced that the current efforts exerted
by the government to restore economic growth, the acceptance of the new
constitution as well as the expected parliamentary and presidential elections
in early 2014 are a step into the right direction, and will help to restore
confidence that the country can return to normality and safety after the unrest.
Additionally, Egypt will remain a hub for foreign investments, as long as its
economic fundamentals are largely intact: the country’s attractive location at
the crossroads between Europe, the Middle East and Africa as well as the fact
that Egypt is one of the Arab World’s most diversified economies.
Should the political and economic situation continue to stabilize, I strongly
believe that the Group is fundamentally well positioned, with a solid portfolio
of hotels and real estate infrastructure as well as cost savings and monetization
programs on track, to quickly recover from this down-cycle and to return to
earlier positive operational levels. I remain committed to the Group and will
finance a potential cash deficit of up to CHF 115 million until end of April 2015
in a worst case scenario.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us.
Samih O. Sawiris
Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer

2.4 CFO’s Statement
Dear Shareholders,
The ongoing challenging environment caused mainly by the political instability in Egypt
continued to affect the Group’s performance especially in the second half of 2013, post
the 30th of June turn of events. As a result, consolidated revenues decreased by 18.5%
to CHF 221.4 million compared to CHF 271.8 million last year. The hotel segment’s
revenues were significantly impacted by travel bans imposed by several European
countries, and hence declined to CHF 125.8 million compared to CHF 147.6 million last
year. However and despite the ongoing challenges in the Egyptian tourism sector, the
hotel segment was able to achieve a positive EBITDA of CHF 19.6 million compared to
CHF 38.9 million in the comparable period. After adjusting for non-cash items including
foreign exchange losses, provisions and impairments the segment was able to generate an
adjusted EBITDA1 of CHF 25.7 million compared to CHF 42.7 million in 2012. Hotels that
are directly managed by the Group made the most positive contribution.
Operating Cash flow after interest and taxes reached CHF (52.2) million,
loss was mainly due to the decrease in collection of real estate receivables,
along with lower hotel performance and inventory build-up in Switzerland
(only during 1H 2013 as it was deconsolidated after),Egypt and Oman.
In the real estate segment we were able to increase contracted sales by 17.4% over the
same period last year to reach CHF 72.8 million. This increase mainly came from El
Gouna, where we succeeded in selling off 43% of its inventory. On the other hand, the
segment’s revenues witnessed a decrease of 34.8% due to less deliveries accompanied
by less construction activities in Egypt and Oman.
Preserving our balance sheet and monitoring liquidity was another key focus
area for 2013. The ASA transaction and the subsequent deconsolidation of
ASA during the first half of 2013 significantly strengthened our balance sheet,
as the chairman’s loans to Orascom Development were converted into equity
of ASA. Our net debt position improved from CHF 502.2 million as per yearend 2012 to CHF 398.91 million as of December 31, 2013. We also succeeded
in waiving the financial covenants for the financial year 2013 and reached a
preliminary agreement to convert some of our non-collateralized short-term
loans into medium-term loans. These actions have taken away a lot of short term
pressure, but in order to put the Group on a financially sound basis, we need
to continue to improve our free cash flow generation by reducing overheads,
accelerating real estate collection, and minimizing Capex spending. In parallel,
we will also continue pursuing our montetization and cost saving intiatives with
proceeds of which to be used in retiring our outstanding debt repayements and
end of service settlements.
In addition to the reduced turnover, the group’s bottom line results were impacted by high
overhead costs, lower capitalization of financing costs resulting from reduced construction
activities and the devaluation of the Egyptian Pound. Furthermore, one-off items including
provisions, impairment of investments and a reassessment of the recoverability of deferred tax
assets have also significantly contributed to the net loss from continuing operations.

Net loss to non controlling interests
While the operating cash flow was weaker than in 2012, our efforts to rationalize
capex spending and to cut costs showed first tangible results. We were still able
to achieve more than what was budgeted in terms of cash, considering that we
did not materialize all our planned monetization items for the year and we only
used CHF 40 million out of the CHF 60 million amount of funding that was
committed by the chairman during 2013.
Balance sheet strengthened
In our base case scenario for 2014 and considering the current political instability
in Egypt, we are expecting a cash deficit of about CHF 30 million before
monetization proceeds. Should the political and economic situation stabilize after
the preseidential and parlimentary elections, we believe we will be able to witness
better operational performance and accoridnlgy achieve better results. Once
again, the Chairman is extending his support to the Group and has committed
to finance a potential cash deficit of up to CHF 115 until end of April 2015 in
a worst case scenario. This strong financial commitment provides Orascom
Development with the flexibility to smoothly adjust to the changed operating
environment and still be able to realize business opportunities as they arise.
hotel in Oman in November. The transaction proceeds were largely used to retire
outstanding debt, finance end-of-service payments and finance new hotels. As
communicated earlier we are still pursuing the sale of our Egyptian mortgage
subsidiary Tamweel and of our stake in the Club Med Hotel in Mauritius
(CMAR). Negotiations with interested parties have been started. Overall we
are confident that the monetization schedule will contribute to a more efficient
allocation of capital resources across the Group and will help to re-focus
management capacity on our core activities in Egypt, Oman and Montenegro.
Comprehensive cost savings program shows first visible results
In order to reduce the significant cost overhang that has been built-up following
the Arab Spring in 2011, Orascom Development has launched a group-wide cost
savings program in July 2013 to reduce the cost base by CHF 50 million until the
end of 2014. So far cost savings initiatives with a full annualized potential of more
than CHF 38.5 million have been identified in 2014 budget and partly already
been implemented. Since December 2012 we have reduced our headcount, the
largest single cost item, by more than 2,400 employees, equivalent to 17% of
the overall workforce. These lay-offs were partly associated with non-recurring
end-of-service charges that impacted our 2013 financial result. While this is a
step into the right direction, we clearly need to do more, and we remain firmly
committed to the initially communicated CHF 50 million cost savings target. That
said, we acknowledge that further headcount reductions are unavoidable, but
considering our status as one of the major employers in Egypt, we will continue to
evaluate options to make this as socially acceptable as possible.
Outlook for 2014
Four core pillars will be our main focus during 2014; we will continue to work on
our cost savings initiative by achieving the CHF 38.5 million of savings identified
in our budget and also work on divesting cost-intensive investments. We will
continue to strengthen our balance sheet, with a prime focus on debt reduction and
restructuring. Accordingly, we will continue with our monetization plans, using the
proceeds of which to retire our outstanding debt, with a target to reduce the total
debt by CHF 100 million. We will also exert extra efforts in continuing to reschedule
some of our short-term maturing debt to medium-term maturities. Focusing on our
core activities, we are already developing and adapting new strategies and initiatives
aiming to boost revenues from our ongoing operations from the hotels and real
estate segments. We will also focus on quick value-adding investments with full
optimization of capex-spending.
Successful execution on monetization plan and increased focus on
core activities
In 2013 we have successfully realized CHF 62.5 million from our monetization
program. Key highlights were the sale and lease back of the El Gouna power plant
in April, the share sale of Madinet Nasr for Housing and Development (MNHD)
in July, the sale of our Romania project in October and the financing of the Rotana

3. Business Segments
3.1 Hotels
While 2013 started with an increase on occupancy and revenue levels,
the political turmoil and severe decline in airlift to Egypt during the third
and fourth quarters resulted in 12% decline in occupancy levels over
the same period last year with revenues standing at CHF 125.8 million.
Hotel market in 2013
Driven by higher market presence and better understanding of the consumer
needs, 2013 started with notable performance growth. During 1H 2013,
occupancy levels increased to 59% as opposed to 54% (1H 2012), and total
revenues per available rooms (TRevPar) reached CHF 60 compared to CHF
57 (1H 2012). On June 30th, the civilian unrest and the subsequent events
led to the declaration of a state of emergency and the imposition of a night
time curfew again pushing several countries to issue travel bans on Egypt with
severe airlift cuts from major European feeder markets, instigating a general
decline in tourism rates. Nonetheless, we have managed to maintain the
Group’s hotel occupancy rates at 51% compared to 57% last year.
Financial review 2013
Hotel’s total revenue witnessed a 14.7% decline from last year to reach CHF
125.8 million compared to CHF 147.6 million in FY 2012. This was mainly
driven by lower occupancy rates in all our hotels in Egypt. As of FY 2013, our
hotel room capacity increased by 1% from 6,654 rooms to 6,696 rooms due
to the addition of 18 new rooms in Juweira Boutique Hotel in Salalah Beach,
Oman and 24 new rooms in Sifawy Boutique Hotel in Jebel Sifah, Oman .We
also celebrated the opening of The Chedi in Andermatt Swiss Alps (105 rooms)
in December, of which we are now a minority shareholder holding a 49% stake.
The Group increased its share of self-managed hotels, in contrast to the share of
international hotel chains, whereas out of the 29 total consolidated operational
hotels as of FY 2013, Orascom Development is directly managing 16 hotels.
Despite the ongoing challenges that tourism sector in Egypt is confronting,
the Hotel’s segment was able to achieve a positive EBITDA of CHF 19.6
million compared to CHF 38.9 million last year and after adjusting for noncash items including FOREX losses, provisions and impairments the segment
was able to achieve an adjusted EBITDA of CHF 25.7 million compared to
CHF 42.7 million last year.
Our key source markets remained to be West Europe (Germany, Switzerland,
Benelux, and France). Hammering on El Gouna’s local market presence in
2012, Egyptians continued to be our number one guests and also became
our biggest clients in terms of room nights. In Oman, Sifawy Boutique Hotel
started a gradual market growth to become Oman’s prime meetings &
incentives destination.
Country and Destination Performance
El Gouna became Egypt’s high-end Wedding Destination. Supported by
a secluded location away from the larger urban cities, strict security systems,
luxury hospitality standards and wide selection of activities, the town remains
to be a travel attraction to European holidaymakers.

reduced flight capacities from the major European countries to Sinai. As
a counteraction, the town was introduced as the regions only Luxury-AllInclusive Destination as part of the hotel’s deal with FTI Touristic GmbH (a
leading German-based tour operator) where the latter initiated a charter
capacity of 1,280 weakly seats covering Austria, Germany and Switzerland.

Whereas, Sifawy Boutique hotel FY 2013’s occupancy rate declined to 31%
compared to 33% last year.

Outlook for 2014
Starting with a bit of a challenge post the airlift cuts, the first two months of the
current business year witnessed a decrease in total revenues.
Nevertheless, during ITB 2014 we succeeded in reinforcing strategic
partnerships with major tour operators, thus enriching the market mix to cater
to a wider and a more niche bracket of clientele. This is expected to reflect
positively on the occupancy thereafter. As soon as the political situation in
Egypt stabilizes along with the increase in rooms capacity post the opening
of the five-star Rotana Salalah in Oman (March 2014:399 rooms), Makadi
Garden Hotel in Egypt (February 2014: 287 rooms) and the prospected
opening of Ancient Sands Hotel in Egypt (July 2014: 114 rooms), 2014 should
end with satisfactory results in terms of Net Profits.

3.1 Hotels
3.1.1 In-depth Interview with the Managing Partner of Orascom Hotels Management
Orascom Hotels Management
Overlooking the Group’s entire hotel portfolio, encompassing 34 hotels and more than 8,000 hotel rooms, and in line
with the company’s strategy of optimizing internal processes, enhancing performance and increasing efficiency, Orascom
Development established a joint venture between Orascom Development (75%) and Abdelhamid Abouyoussef (25%),
under the name of “Orascom Hotels Management” (OHM), to manage the entire Group’s asset of hotels, and hence
optimize the hotel sector’s profitability capacities. Abdelhamid Abouyoussef, a tourism specialized entrepreneur and
owner and managing director of 1,600 hotel rooms across Egypt, is heading the new entity as the Managing Partner of
OHM with the aim to enhance performance and increase efficiency of the hotels’ sector.
ABDELHAMID M. ABOUYOUSSEF *
Eng. Abouyoussef started his career in design and
installation of hotel electro-mechanical systems in 1998. He
soon moved to project management in hotel construction,
in addition to being the owner’s representative at Amphoras
Holiday Inn, Sharm El Sheikh. In 2004, Abouyoussef
founded his first company, Shores Hotels, to manage a
200 room hotel in Sharm El Sheikh. Within two years,
Shores Hotels grew to manage 3 hotels with a total
capacity of 1,000 rooms. In 2008, Abouyoussef started
developing 600 rooms in three new destinations across
Egypt. Later that year, he founded a travel agency, today
handling over 100,000 tourists per year. Abouyoussef
received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the
American University in Cairo and a Masters of Science
degree from the University of California at Berkeley. He is
also a commission member of the International Federation
of the Automobile (FIA).
* Effective March 1,2014, Abdelhamid Abouyoussef took over the responsibilities of Mahmoud
Zuaiter (EX- CEO of International Hotels Holding) as Chief Hotels Officer and become a
member of the Executive Management Team.
1 Why the JV with Orascom Development Holding?
This joint venture was driven by a mutual aim for high return on investment.
Orascom Development’s investment fundamentals, hotel portfolio and
market presence promise a healthy and steady growth. Furthermore, our
joint venture facilitated the Group’s becoming one of the biggest hotel
owners and operators in the region. Such an inventory, coupled with
a strong specialized hotel sector, makes opportunity for growth more
evident and achievable.
2 Please shed some light on the new Hotel strategy that you
have been adapting and its achievements so far.
Our strategy and mission is to develop an efficient, stable and transparent
financial and operational setup of the Group’s Hotel sector. The business
model was revisited to include units like “Performance Optimization”,
aiming at steady monitoring and timely action. Partnerships with tour
operators or hotel management companies were reassessed to ensure
rewarding and stable returns to all parties. The market and guest mix is
being broadened to include clientele that have proved higher loyalty and
less sensitivity to political instabilities.
On the operational level, we are refurbishing the hardcore and softcore hospitality amenities to boost our guest satisfaction and market
positioning. An efficient Central Reservation Unit, handling an average
of 100 requests a day, and a recently announced rich calendar of events,
featuring high-end lifestyle and sports events, were among our early
happenings on that end.
3 What is your view currently on the tourism sector in Egypt
and when do you think we will be able to witness some sound
recovery?
The social and political atmosphere that is expected with the upcoming
presidential elections promises good pick-up of tourism. This has already
encouraged some of Europe’s major tour operators, starting by the second
quarter of 2014, to inject more business to Egypt in general, and the Red
Sea in particular. To take a market lead and secure quick results, we are
adopting a proactive sales approach, and thus working very closely with
the major tour operators on committing medium to long term alliances.
4 How do you foresee Orascom Development’s Hotel’s sector
performance in 2014?
The unprecedented events that took place in Egypt during 1Q 2014 and
the resulting travel bans have impacted our occupancy rates & TRevPar.
As soon as the political situation in Egypt stabilizes, net profit figures would
definitely mark a notable growth over the course of 2014

3.2 Real Estate and Construction
Real Estate & Construction segment achieved a noticeable
increase in contracted sales in 2013, while the segment result
was affected by high overhead cost against lower revenues.
Real Estate and Construction market in 2013
During the first half of the year, the country was facing different incidents of
social & economic unrest which in turn negatively affected international and
local demand on the second homes market in Egypt. This situation started
to reverse during the second half of the year, with encouraging signs of
improvements on both the political and social fronts bringing back some
positive investor appetite and consequently increasing the demand on realestate. We took advantage of this positive change and redesigned our sales
propositions to meet with the new market expectations. We also introduced
new products in prime locations and continued to retain our customers who
wanted to return their earlier purchased units by shifting them towards lower
priced units. In El Gouna, value of contracted units increased by 79.3% over
the same period last year. We were able to successfully sell most of our
inventory, with the share of local buyers accounting for 98% of the total sales.
In Oman, value of contracted sales were 34.1% less than last year resulting
from a shift in our sales strategy, whereas focus during the year was on selling
the built-up inventory over a 2 years payment term, pulling back on off-plan
sales. There was positive demand in our European destinations, especially in
Montenegro with contracted sales witnessing an increase of 24.1% over the
same period last year.
In terms of construction in Egypt; we completed the construction and delivery
of the first-phase units in Ancient sands, El Gouna and have also completed
the construction of its planned golf course. The construction of El Gouna
Cable Park was completed creating a comprehensive water sports complex
in addition to finishing the construction of Makadi Hotel Gardens Azur in
Makadi, with 287 guest rooms that was opened in February 2014. In Salalah
Beach, Oman, we finished the construction of Rotana Hotel, a five-star hotel
with 399 guestrooms that was also opened in March 2014. We also completed
the construction of “Lake Block”, an expansion of our Juweira Boutique Hotel
that includes 18 hotel-apartment units that are already operational, developed
8km of lagoons and handed over 46 real estate units. While as in Jebel Sifah,
Oman we handed over 32 real estate units. In Montenegro we are finishing up
the construction of 71 apartments in 10 buildings.
During 2013, Orascom Development sold 580 real estate units for an amount
of CHF 72.8 million compared to 704 units for CHF 62.0 million a year ago
(this excludes sales coming from Andermatt, Switzerland). The increase of
17.4% in terms of value mainly came from the increased sales coming from
El Gouna, where we succeeded in selling off the majority of the inventory
through the development of attractive sales packages, focusing on incentives
for early settlement, and also by providing flexible financing programs to the
buyers. Montenegro also was among the main contributors in our total sale
volumes where we successfully sold 48 new units compared to 43 a year
ago. The increased sales appetite in Montenegro came as a result of the
finishing up of the construction works for 71 apartments in 10 buildings, where
clients started to witness the first signs of life in the developing destination.
It is also worth mentioning that the Group succeeded in decreasing the
value of canceled units for all its destinations during the year by almost 50%
compared to last year.
We further achieved to reduce the number of real estate units which are either
built or under construction from CHF 55.3 million in 2012 to around CHF
47.3 million in 2013, mainly as a result of the efforts exerted with the sale of
inventory in El Gouna.
2013 revenues decreased by 34.8% from CHF 76.4 million to CHF 49.8
million. The decrease is mainly due to lower deliveries in Makadi and Oman in
addition to lower sales and deliveries of our budget housing project. Several
items impacted our operating results; fixed overhead costs, lower revenues
and gross profit margins associated with deliveries in Oman, in addition to
higher provisions incurred for doubtful receivables in Egypt. Accordingly the
segment’s adjusted EBITDA reached CHF 3.1 million when compared to
CHF 9.5 million in 2012.
Outlook for 2014
2014 will still be a challenging year for the Real Estate segment, especially in
Egypt. Although we are expecting some stability on the political front with the
presidential and parliamentary elections, nevertheless investor’s confidence
will gradually pick up only when actual results are evident. Now that we have
sold most of our inventory in El Gouna, we will be designing new attractive
sales packages with more flexible payment terms and tighter delivery
schedules to encourage and attract a wider client base. We also expect a
positive impact on sales in Makadi from the launch of Makadi Hotel Gardens
Azur (287 Guestrooms) that took place in February 2014.
In Montenegro, for Luštica Bay we will continue with our ongoing construction
works to completely finish the 71 apartments for the ten residential buildings
and start the construction of the marina. We will also develop enhanced
marketing strategies to ultimately increase our sales volumes.
In Oman, our focus will be on offloading our existing inventory, we might
revisit opening the off-plan sales again during the third quarter of the year
and we are planning to deliver 85 real estate units. In terms of construction,
in Jebel Sifah, we will resume the construction works of the first 3 holes of the
golf course that we started during 2013 and in Salalah beach, we will start the
construction of the Club Med Hotel with 399 planned rooms and we will
resume the construction works in As Sodah Island.

3.3 Destination Management
The Segment reports a slight decrease in revenues compared
to last year.
Outlook for 2014
We will continue to strengthen our brand awareness and ensure that guests/
residents experience our “life as it should be” vision in our destinations.
Destination Management environment in 2013
Despite the ongoing political challenges that Egypt has been passing through
during the year, El Gouna continued to perform positively holding several
events encouraging real estate owners to use their properties more frequently.
The rising awareness that El Gouna has high level of security standards,
stimulated demand especially on the local level, where a lot of Egyptians
chose to select El Gouna as their destination of choice during the national
holidays. In El Adha feast, the number of visitors was estimated to be around
30,000 visitors, the highest number in the history of El Gouna.
In addition to the importance of maintaining a world class standard of
infrastructure, security, landscape and maintenance; we are moving forward
in promoting El Gouna as a sports destination with special concentration on
water sports, racing, bikes, squash and football. This gives a new dimension to
El Gouna and helps attract new channels and markets.
Revenues in Orascom Development’s segment Destination Management
slightly decreased to CHF 14.6 million in 2013 (2012: CHF 16.5 million).
Around 60% of revenues were generated from utility functions such as
water or electricity generation, while the remaining 40% were derived from
commercial, urban and community services as well as infrastructure and
maintenance activities. The segment reported adjusted EBITDA losses of
CHF 0.6 million in 2013 compared to a loss of CHF 1.2 million in 2012.
Key events
In El Gouna, we completed the construction of El Gouna Cable Park, a huge
water sports complex with two spacious cables, conforming to Olympic
standards. In January 2014, we signed a new agreement with Budget
Transportation to be responsible for all transportation services within El
Gouna. A Carbon Neutral Protocol has been signed by the attendance of her
Excellency Dr. Laila Eskandar; the Minister of Environment and the Chairman
of the Group to turn El Gouna into the first Carbon Neutral City in the world.
In December of 2013, Orascom Development took over the management of
the Hotel Club Paradisio, which was managed earlier by Club Med.
Orascom Development also took over the management of El Wekala Golf
resort in Taba Heights, which was previously managed by Three Corners.
Also In the beginning of 2013, the Group started the development plan of the
International Tourist Marina to increase number of passengers by constructing
two luxuries-hall buildings including an arrival hall & a departure hall that
are fully equipped and furnished by all required tools and equipment. We
also finished the construction of Sands managed Casino in Miramar Hotel
that is planned to open during 2014 as the destination’s first gaming center
promising a new entertainment edge to the town.
In Oman, we have started the rough shaping of 3 holes for the golf course
in Jebel Sifah, we opened 5 new shops in the Marina Town and we held a
number of festivals and events including the Dubai-Muscat Sailing competition
and have completed the Marina fuel-station that should be operational during
Q2 2014. In Salalah beach, we finished the construction of the Rotana fivestars Hotel with 399 rooms which was launched in March 2014. And we
also opened 3 new shops in Marina Town, in addition to our now-famous as
Sammak restaurant operated by Juweria Hotel.
For Oman, we will continue working on the positioning of Jebel Sifah as a
natural picturesque getaway offering an adventurous experience; working
on its infrastructure, roads and landscape going full speed to shape up the
destination. In Salalah Beach, with the recent opening of the Rotana five-stars
Hotel featuring 399 guest rooms, we are expecting a big boost to the number
of guests and visitors to the destination and accordingly we will be opening
different facilities and amenities to include restaurants, bars and pharmacies to
better serve the destination.

Land Sales
Other operations
Occasionally, the Group sells land where there are no development obligations or where the Group has developed infrastructure in order to sell the land to
third-party developers. This establishes a reference point for the market price of our land bank. Revenues from such sales are included in our Land Sales segment.
The segment Other operations combines those businesses of Orascom Development that are not classified in any of the other business segments. The
segment includes activities such as mortgage financing, rental of villas and apartments, hospital and educational services, marina, limousine rentals, laundry
and other services.
Revenues from the sale of land, sale of land rights and the associated costs are recognized when land is delivered and the risk of ownership and control has been
transferred to the buyer.
During 2013, we achieved CHF 0.9 million revenues from land sales compared to CHF 0 million last year, mainly due to land revenue recognition resulting from
the sales of real estate units in Ancient Sands, El Gouna .

There are no news in respect of other activities and vested interests which fall within the scope of Subsection 3.2 of the SIX Directive on Information relating to
Corporate Governance dated 29 October 2008.
Elections and terms of office
The Board of Directors is elected by the general meeting of shareholders. In
accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, the Board is composed of a
minimum of three and a maximum of fifteen members, whose term of office
shall not exceed three years (a year for that purpose meaning the period
between two ordinary general meetings of shareholders). Each member’s
term of office is determined upon his or her election, and there are no limits
on re-election.
At the Company’s fourth ordinary general meeting of shareholders held on
May 13, 2013, Mr. Luciano Gabriel decided not to stand for re-election. All

As of September 30, 2013, Mr. Nicholas Cournoyer decided to resign as a

Internal organizational structure
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors governs the Company and is ultimately responsible
for the Company’s business strategy and management. It has the authority
to decide on all corporate matters not reserved by law or the Articles of
Incorporation to the general meeting of shareholders or to another body.
Subject to its inalienable duties pursuant to the law and to a number of
additional matters , the Board of Directors has delegated the management
of the Company’s business to the CEO. The Board of Directors appoints the
CEO and the other members of Executive Management.
The Board of Directors constitutes itself autonomously and appoints its
Chairman and Secretary, who does not have to be a member of the Board. It
may deliberate if a majority of members are present at a meeting. Decisions
are taken by the majority of votes cast. In case of a deadlock, the Chairman
has a casting vote. A member of the Board of Directors shall abstain from
voting, if he or she has a personal interest in a matter other than an interest in
his or her capacity as shareholder of the Company.
Committees
Two permanent committees have been formed to support the Board of
Directors; these are the Audit Committee and the Nomination & Compensation
Committee. The Lead Director chairs both of the permanent committees. The
duties and competences of both committees are defined as below.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee consists of two non-executive members of the Board of
Directors as determined by the Board. The two Audit Committee members
currently appointed have broad experience in finance and accounting on the
basis of their professional backgrounds. The Lead Director is a member ex
officio of the Audit Committee.
The mission of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in the
discharge of its responsibilities with respect to financial reporting and audit.
The committee reports and issues recommendations to the Board of Directors
regarding yearly and interim financial statements, the auditing process, the
internal control system, the integrity and effectiveness of the Company’s external
and internal auditors and other topics submitted to it by the Board from time to
time. The Audit Committee has no decision-making power.
Nomination & Compensation Committee
The Nomination & Compensation Committee consists of three non-executive
members of the Board of Directors as determined by the Board. The Lead
Director is a member ex officio of the Nomination & Compensation Committee.
The mission of the Nomination & Compensation Committee is to assist the
Board of Directors in the discharge of its responsibilities and to discharge
certain responsibilities of the Board relating to compensation and nomination of
members of the Board and of Executive Management.
The Nomination & Compensation Committee has decision-making power
regarding matters of the compensation of executive members of the Board
of Directors and members of Executive Management. The Nomination
& Compensation Committee issues recommendations to the Board of
Directors without having decision-making power regarding other matters of
compensation, the nomination of Board members and members of Executive
Management, and other topics submitted to it by the Board for the committee’s
consideration.

2013 Annual Report
Orascom Development
Work methods of the Board of Directors and its committees
Invitations to attend meetings of the Board of Directors are extended by
the Chairman or the Secretary of the Board. Any member of the Board of
Directors may request the Chairman to convene a meeting. The members of
the Board of Directors and the committees are provided with all necessary
supporting material before a meeting is held, enabling them to prepare for
discussion of the relevant agenda items.
Pursuant to their respective Charters, the committees of the Board of Directors
convene at least once (in the case of the Nomination & Compensation
Committee) or twice a year (in the case of the Audit Committee), but can
be summoned by their respective chairman as often as the business requires.
Meetings of the Audit Committee may, upon invitation by its chairman and
in an advisory function, be attended by members of Executive Management.
In the year under review, the audit committee invited experts from an
independent advisory firm to attend meetings of the audit committee in an
advisory function.
The Company’s auditors are in regular contact with the chairman of the
Audit Committee and have the right to have items added to its agenda.
In the 2013 financial year, the Board of Directors convened for six meetings,
and passed three circular resolutions. Of the six meetings, four were held as
physical meetings, and two were meetings held by telephone conference.
The Audit Committee convened for three meetings. The Nomination &
Compensation Committee convened for two physical meetings and two
telephone conferences. Certain members of Executive Management, in
particular the CEO and the CFO participated in several meetings of the
Board of Directors and the committees. Physical meetings of the Board
of Directors as well as of the Audit Committee and the Nomination &
Compensation Committee typically lasted approximately from three to
eight hours, while telephone conferences typically lasted from thirty minutes
to two hours.
Definition of areas of responsibility
Based on the provision of Art. 15 of the Articles of Incorporation governing the
delegation of duties, the Board of Directors has entrusted the preparation and
the execution of certain of its decisions, the supervision of certain tasks, as well
as certain decision-making powers to the permanent committees. The Board
of Directors has delegated the management of the Company’s business to
the CEO, who may further delegate any of his duties and competencies to
Executive Management and other members of the Company’s management
although the CEO remains fully responsible for all duties and competencies
delegated to him by the Board of Directors.
Excluded from such delegation to the CEO are the inalienable duties of
the Board of Directors as defined by law (Art. 716a Para. 1 of the Swiss
Code of Obligations), the duties of the Board’s permanent committees (as
described above), and decisions on the following matters which remain
reserved to the Board:
1.The approval of the issuance of securities or other capital market
transactions, and the entering into loan agreements in excess of CHF
80 million;
2.The approval of investments and acquisitions (including land acquisitions,
whether by way of contract or by rights in rem, or acquisitions of companies
and participations in companies) as well as divestments, dispositions and
asset disposals in excess of CHF 20 million;
3.The entering into agreements with a value in excess of CHF 20 million
(subject to 1. above);
4.The provision of guarantees, suretyships, liens and pledges and other
security in excess of CHF 20 million;
5.The approval of inter-company agreements of a value exceeding
CHF 20 million.
Information and control instruments vis-a-vis senior management
To ensure that comprehensive information is provided to the Board of
Directors on the performance of the functions delegated by it, members of
Executive Management and other senior managers are regularly invited by
the Chairman or the Lead Director to attend meetings of the Board, or to
participate when individual agenda items are discussed. For example, during
the year under review, the CEO and the CFO were present at all physical
meetings of the Board of Directors. Also during the year under review,
individual Board of Directors members supported Executive Management in
various projects. Furthermore, members of the Board of Directors cultivate a
regular informal exchange of ideas with Company management and regularly
visit the Company’s locations.
In General, the in-house internal audit function has performed many adhoc assignments in addition to the pre- planned assignments. For each

5.6 Compensation, Shareholdings, and Loans
For detailed information on compensation paid to members of the Board of
Directors and to members of Executive Management for the financial year
2013, and on shares and options held by and loans granted to these persons
as of December 31, 2013, please refer to Note 12.1 (Board and Executive
Compensation Disclosures as Required by Swiss Law) of the consolidated
financial statements.
The compensation of the members of the Board of Directors and of Executive
Management is determined as specified below and it does not employ external
advisors or systematically use external benchmarks for fixing compensation..
Board of Directors. In respect to the compensation of members of the Board
of Directors for their service on the Board and on its committees, the Board
decided in 2008, in its discretion, on the amount of the annual remuneration per
member (CHF 160,000 for all Board members, except for the Lead Director in
whose case the amount is set at CHF 185,000), and on the form in which that
remuneration is discharged. It was decided that half the remuneration shall be
discharged in cash and half in the form of shares of the Company. This decision
of the Board of Directors, in which all Board members participated at the time,
remained in effect for the bonus payments for the financial year 2012 which
were paid out in 2013. However, in 2013, the Board decided to reduce the
compensation of the members of the Board of Directors from CHF 160’000
to CHF 130’000 for all members of the Board of Directors.
The shares of the Company allocated to the members of the Board of
Directors as compensation are, for that purpose, purchased by the Company
in the market, and their valuation (for purposes of the calculation of the number
of shares allocated to each member) is based on the average purchase price
paid by the Company for the shares.
Executive Management. Compensation of the members of Executive
Management for their service in Executive Management consists of a base
salary which is annually reviewed, and a bonus payment which is annually
determined, as further described below. The initial base salaries of the members
of Executive Management were either (in case of members who have served in
that capacity since the Company was formed in 2008) carried over from their
previous employment with Orascom Hotels & Development S.A.E., or (in case
of members appointed at a later time) they were determined in a discretionary
decision of the CEO together with the Nomination & Compensation Committee.
In respect to the annual salary review and bonus determination, the
Nomination & Compensation Committee discusses the proposals presented
by the CEO, approves them if deemed fit, and subsequently informs the Board
of Directors of its decisions. Members of Executive Management do not have
a right to attend meetings of the Nomination & Compensation Committee at
which decisions are taken in respect to their compensation, or otherwise to
participate in the decision process. In the year under review, there were no
changes in the base salaries of members of Executive Management.
Bonus: In late 2010, the Board of Directors approved a formal bonus policy
(“Policy”) for the Executive Management. Since 2010, the Policy applies to the
members of Executive Management.
For members of Executive Management, the Policy provides that their target
bonus lies in the range of 0-75% of their base salary, and that it may be paid
in cash or in the form of unrestricted shares of the Company (for 50% of the
bonus at most). Details in respect to compensation paid in the form of shares,
if any, remain to be defined upon individual agreement.
As the financial performance targets were not achieved in 2013 and due to
the challenging market environment, especially the political situation in Egypt,
the Nomination & Compensation Committee suggested to the complete
Board of Directors that no bonus shall be paid to the Executive Management
in 2013. The Board of Directors approved this suggestion for 2013 which was
accepted by the Members of the Executive Management.

1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Orascom Development Holding AG (“ODH” or “the Parent Company”), a limited company incorporated in Altdorf, Switzerland, is a public
company whose shares are traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange. In addition, Egyptian Depository Receipts (“EDRs”) of the Parent Company
are traded at the EGX Egyptian Exchange. One EDR represents 1/20 of an ODH share.
The Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) is a leading developer of fully integrated towns that include hotels, private villas and
apartments, leisure facilities such as golf courses, marinas and supporting infrastructure. The Group’s diversified portfolio of projects is
spread over eight jurisdictions, with primary focus on touristic towns and recently affordable housing. The Group currently operates in Egypt,
Jordan, UAE, Oman, Morocco, United Kingdom and Montenegro and is continuously seeking development opportunities in untapped yet
attractive locations all over the world. The Group has four existing projects: El Gouna, the flagship project, a fully-fledged town on the Red
Sea coast (Egypt); Taba Heights, on the Sinai Peninsula (Egypt), the Group’s second tourism destination following El Gouna’s business model;
the Cove (Ras Al Khaimah, UAE), the Group’s first development experience outside Egypt; and Haram City, an integrated town dedicated to
affordable housing in Egypt, catering for the mass population. In June 2013 the Group lost control over its operating companies in
Switzerland but still holds a 49% interest in these companies and consequently shows the investments as associates (refer to note 39 for
further details).
The addresses of its registered office and principal place of business are disclosed in the introduction to the annual report.
2 Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRSs”)
2.1 New and revised IFRSs affecting amounts reported in the current year and prior
years
The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have been applied in the current period and have affected these financial
statements. Details of other new and revised IFRSs applied in these financial statements that have had no material effect on the financial
statements are set out in note 2.2:
IAS 19 Employee Benefits – Amended Standard resulting from the Post-Employment Benefits and Termination Benefits projects
The amendments require the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in fair value of plan assets when they occur, and hence
eliminate the “corridor approach”' permitted under the previous version of IAS 19 and used by theGroup. The amendments also accelerate
the recognition of past service costs.
Due to the amendments the Group needs to recognize all actuarial gains and losses immediately through other comprehensive income in
order for the net pension asset or liability recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position to reflect the full value of the plan
deficit or surplus.
Another significant change to IAS 19 relates to the presentation of changes in defined benefits obligations and plan assets with changes being
split into three components:
•
Service cost – recognised in profit or loss and includes current and past service cost as well as gains or losses on settlements.
•
Net interest – recognised in profit or loss and calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the reporting period to the net
defined benefit liability or asset at the beginning of each reporting period.
•
Remeasurement – recognized in other comprehensive income and comprises actuarial gains and losses on the defined benefit
obligation, the difference of the actual return on plans assets over the change in plan assets due to the passage of time andthe changes, if
any, due to the impact of the asset ceiling.
F-10
2013 Annual Report
As a result, the profit or loss no longer includes an expected return on plan assets, instead, imputed finance income is calculated on the plan
assets and is recognised as part of the net interest cost in profit or loss. Any actual return above or below the imputed finance income on plan
assets is recognised as part of remeasurement in other comprehensive income.
As the amended requirements of IAS 19 need to be applied retrospectively, the initial application of IAS 19 (revised) impacts the financial
statements as follows:

respectively.
The above changes did not have a noticeable impact on reported earnings per share as at 31 December 2012.
2.2 New and revised IFRSs applied with no material effect on the consolidated
financial statements
Amendments to IFRS 7 Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The Group has applied the amendments to IFRS 7 Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities for the first time in the
current year. The amendments to IFRS 7 require entities to disclose information about rights of offset and related arrangements (such as
collateral posting requirements) for financial instruments under an enforceable master netting agreement or similar arrangement.
The amendments have been applied retrospectively. As the Group does not have any offsetting arrangements in place, the application of the
amendments has had no impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
New and revised Standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures
In May 2011, a package of five standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures was issued comprising IFRS 10
Consolidated financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, IAS 27 (as revised in 2011)
Separate Financial Statements and IAS 28 (as revised in 2011) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Subsequent to the issue of these
standards, amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 were issued to clarify certain transitional guidance on the first-time application of the
standards.
In the current year, the Group has applied for the first time IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 (as revised in 2011) together with the
amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 regarding the transitional guidance. IAS 27 (as revised in 2011) is not applicable to the Group as
it deals only with separate financial statements.
The impact of the application of these standards is set out below:
Impact of the application of IFRS 10
IFRS 10 replaces the parts of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that deal with consolidated financial statements and
SIC-12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 changes the definition of control such that an investor has control over an investee
when a) it has power over the investee, b) it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and c) has the
ability to use its power to affect its returns. All three of these criteria must be met for an investor to have control over an investee. Previously,
control was defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
Additional guidance has been included in IFRS 10 to explain when an investor has control over an investee. Some guidance included in IFRS
10 that deals with whether or not an investor that owns less than 50% of the voting rights in an investee has control over the investee is
relevant to the Group.
The application of IFRS 10 has had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
As the Group does not have any investments in joint arrangements, the application of IFRS 11 has had no impact on the consolidation financial
statements.
IFRS 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or
unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the application of IFRS 12 has resulted in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
The Group has applied IFRS 13 for the first time in the current year. IFRS 13 established a single source of guidance for fair value
measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of IFRS 13 is broad; the fair value measurement requirements of
IFRS 13 apply to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other IFRSs require or permit fair value
measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of IFRS
2 Share-based Payment, leasing transactions that are within the scope of IAS 17 Leases, and measurements that have some similarities to fair
value but are not fair value (e.g. net realisable value for the purposes of measuring inventories or value in use for impairment assessment
purposes).
IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the
principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value under IFRS 13 is an exit price
regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Also, IFRS 13 includes extensive
disclosure requirements.
IFRS 13 requires prospective application from 1 January 2013. In addition, specific transitional provisions were given to entit ies such that they
need not apply the disclosure requirements set out in the Standard in comparative information provided for periods before the initial
application of the Standard. In accordance with these transitional provisions, the Group has not made any new disclosures required by IFRS
13 for the 2012 comparative period. Other than the additional disclosures, the application of IFRS 13 has not had any material impact on the
amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income
The Group has applied the amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income for the first time in the current year.
The amendments introduce new terminology, whose use is not mandatory, for the statement of comprehensive income and income statement.
The amendments to IAS 1 retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two
separate but consecutive statements.
Further, the amendments to IAS 1also require items of other comprehensive income, in the other comprehensive income section, to be
grouped into two categories: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (b) items that will be reclassified
subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be
allocated on the same basis. Management considered the latter amendments in preparing the Group’s consolidated statement of
comprehensive income for the year ending 31 December 2013 and has retrospectively restated its 2012 comparatives on the same basis.
2.3 Standards and Interpretations in issue but not yet effective
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the Group has not adopted the following Standards and Interpretations that have
been issued but are not yet effective. They will be effective on or after the dates described below.
New, amended and revised Standards and Interpretations
effective from
IFRS 10
Annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2014
The amendments to IFRS 10 introduce an exception to consolidating subsidiaries for an
investment entity, except where the subsidiaries provide services that relate to the
investment entity’s investment activities. Under the amendments to IFRS 10, an
investment entity is required to measure its interests in subsidiaries at fair value through
profit or loss. To qualify as an investment entity, certain criteria have to be met.
Specifically, an entity is required to:
obtain funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing them with
professional investment management services;
commit to its investor(s) that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns
from capital appreciation, investment income, or both; and
measure and evaluate performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair
value basis.
Consequential amendments to IFRS 12 and IAS 27 (as revised in 2011) have been made
F-12
2013 Annual Report
3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
to introduce new disclosure requirements for investment entities.
IAS 19
Amends IAS 19 Employee Benefits to 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. In addition, it permits a practical expedient if the amount
of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service, in that
contributions, can, but are not required, to be recognised as a reduction in the service
cost in the period in which the related service is rendered.
after 1 July 2014
IAS 32
The amendments to IAS 32 clarify existing application issues relating to the offset of
financial assets and financial liabilities requirements. Specifically, the amendments
clarify the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off’ and
‘simultaneous realisation and settlement’.
IAS 36
The amendments to IAS 36 reduce the circumstances in which the recoverable amount
of assets or cash-generating units is required to be disclosed, clarify the disclosures
required, and introduce an explicit requirement to disclose the discount rate used in
determining impairment (or reversals) where recoverable amount (based on fair value
less costs of disposal) is determined using a present value technique.
The amendments to IAS 39 make it clear that there is no need to discontinue hedge
accounting if a hedging derivative is novated, provided certain criteria are met. A
novation indicates an event where the original parties to a derivative agree that one or
more clearing counterparties replace their original counterparty to become the new
counterparty to each of the partiers. In order to apply the amendments and continue
hedge accounting, novation to a central counterparty must happen as a consequence of
laws and regulations or the introduction of laws or regulations.
IFRIC 21 provides guidance on when to recognise a liability for a levy imposed by a
government, both for levies that are accounted for in accordance with IAS 37
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and those where the timing and
amount of the levy is certain.
Annual Improvements 2010-2012 Cycle
after 1 July 2014
3.1 Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by
the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
3.2 Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that are measured at
fair value or amortized cost, as appropriate and investment properties that are measured at fair value as explained in the accounting policies
below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
IAS 39
IFRIC 21
Various
The consolidated financial statements of the Group incorporate the financial statements of the Parent Company and entities (including
special purpose entities) controlled by the Parent Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved when the Company has power over the
investee, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its power to affect its
returns
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of
the three elements of control listed above.
When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are
sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts
and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
The size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
Potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant
activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.
IFRS 3 — Requires contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability to
be measured at fair value at each reporting date
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of
the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company
ceases to control the subsidiary.
IFRS 13 — Clarifies that issuing IFRS 13 and amending IFRS 9 and IAS 39 did not remove
the ability to measure certain short-term receivables and payables on an undiscounted
basis (amends basis for conclusions only)
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling
interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if
this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Makes amendments to the following applicable standards:
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of a group entity to bring its accounting policies into line with the Group’s
accounting policies.
IAS 16 and IAS 38 — Clarify that the gross amount of property, plant and equipment is
adjusted in a manner consistent with a revaluation of the carrying amount
All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are
eliminated in full on consolidation.
IAS 24 — Clarifies how payments to entities providing management services are to be
disclosed
Various
3.3 Basis of consolidation
Annual Improvements 2011-2013 Cycle
Makes amendments to the following applicable standards:
Changes in the Group's ownership interests in existing subsidiaries
after 1 July 2014
IFRS 3 — Clarifies that IFRS 3 excludes from its scope the accounting for the formation
of a joint arrangement in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself
IFRS 13 — Clarifies the scope of the portfolio exception in paragraph 52
IAS 40 — Clarifies the interrelationship of IFRS 3 and IAS 40 when classifying property
as investment property or owner-occupied property
The Group is currently assessing whether these changes will impact the consolidated financial statements in the period of initial application.
Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted
for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group's interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes
in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the
fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Parent Company.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the ag gregate of the fair
value of the consideration received or receivable and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets
(including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. When assets of the subsidiary are carried at re-valued
amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in
equity, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the Parent
Company had directly disposed of the relevant assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings as specified
by applicable IFRSs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair
value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when
applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity.
F-14
2013 Annual Report
3.4 Business combinations
3.5 Investments in associates
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is
measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities
incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the
acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.
Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control
over those policies.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date,
except that:
deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in
accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively;
liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based payment arrangements of
the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 Sharebased Payment at the acquisition date; and
assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and
Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree,
and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the
identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree
and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a
bargain purchase gain.
Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity's net assets in the
event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the recognised
amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basi s. Other types
of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another IFRS.
When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent
consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the
consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement
period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are
adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the
acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period
adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is
classified as an asset or a liability is re-measured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with IFRS 9 (or where applicab le IAS 39 or IAS
37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or
loss.
When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at
the acquisition date (i.e. the date when the Group obtains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts
arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are
reclassified to profit or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the
Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the
measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and
circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that date.
Business combinations that took place prior to 1 January 2010 were accounted for in accordance with the previous version of IFRS 3.The
policy described above is applied to all business combinations that took place on or after January 2010.
For common control transactions in which all of the combining entities or businesses ultimately are controlled by the same party or parties
both before and after the combination, and that control is not transitory, the Group recognises the difference between purchase
consideration and carrying amount of net assets of acquired entities or businesses as an adjustment to equity. This accounting treatment is
also applied to later acquisitions of some or all shares of the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary.
The results, assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of
accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.
Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and
adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. When the Group's
share of losses of an associate exceeds the Group's interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form
part of the Group's net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are
recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of
an associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment.
Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition,
after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The requirements of IAS 39 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s
investment in an associate. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in
accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less
costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of
that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with IAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently
increases.
Upon disposal of an associate that results in the Group losing significant influence over that associate, any retained investme nt is measured at
fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset in accordance with IFRS 9.The
difference between the previous carrying amount of the associate attributable to the retained interest and its fair value is included in the
determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate. In addition, the Group accounts for all amounts previously recognised in other
comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the same basis as would be required if that associate had directly disposed of the
related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income by that associate would be
reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss
(as a reclassification adjustment) when it loses significant influence over that associate.
When a Group entity transacts with associates of the Group, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are
recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group.
3.6 Goodwill
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business (see note 3.4) less
accumulated impairment losses, if any.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated, starting from the acquisition date, to each of
the Group’s cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
When assessing each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated, the Group’s objective is to test goodwill for impairment at a
level that reflects the way the Group manages its operations and with which the goodwill would naturally be associated under the reporting
system in place.
A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is indication
that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is
allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata based on the
carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss in the co nsolidated statement
of comprehensive income. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on
disposal.
The Group’s policy for goodwill arising on the acquisition of an associate is described in note 3.5.

When contract costs incurred to date plus recognized profits less recognized losses exceed progress billings, the surplus is shown as amounts
due from customers for contract work. For contracts where progress billings exceed contract costs incurred to date plus recognized profits
less recognized losses, the surplus is shown as amounts due to customers for contract work. Amounts received before the related work is
performed are included in the consolidated statement of financial position, as a liability, as advances received. Amounts billed for work
performed but not yet paid by the customer are included in the consolidated statement of financial position under trade andother receivables.
Construction contract revenue comprises revenue arising from finishing of sold units, extra works requested by customers and any
construction agreement with third parties.
3.7.4 Revenue from the rendering of services
Revenue from services is recognised in the accounting periods in which the services are rendered.
3.7.5 Dividend and interest income
Dividend income from investments other than in associates is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been
established, provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of
income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective
interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset
to that asset’s net carrying amount on original recognition.
3.7.6 Rental income
3.7.1 Revenue on sale of land
The Group’s policy for recognition of revenue from operating leases is described in 3.8.1.
Revenue from sale of land, sale of land right and associated cost are recognised when land is delivered and the significant risks, rewards of
ownership and control have been transferred to the buyer, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic
benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be
measured reliably. Management uses its judgment and considers the opinion obtained from the legal advisors in assessing whether the
Group’s contractual and legal rights and obligations in the agreements are satisfied and the above criteria are met.
3.7.7 Cost of sales
3.7.2 Revenue from agreements for construction of real estate
Management uses its judgment to analyze the Group's agreements for the construction of real estate and any related agreements to
conclude whether or not the contractual terms of such agreements indicate that they are, in substance, for the provision of construction
services or for the delivery of goods that are not complete at the time of entering into the agreement. Such conclusion depends on the terms
of the agreement and all the surrounding facts and circumstances and on whether such an agreement meets the definition of a construction
contract, as described in 3.7.3 below.
In accordance with IFRIC 15, an agreement for the construction of real estate will meet the definition of a construction contract when the
buyer is able to specify the major structural elements of the design of the real estate before construction begins and / or specify major
structural changes once construction is in progress, whether it exercises that ability or not. Where such conditions are met, revenue and costs
associated with such contracts are accounted for in accordance with IAS 11 Construction Contracts (see 3.7.3).
Where an agreement for the construction of real estate does not meet the definition of a construction contract and is not for the rendering of
services, then it is accounted for as a sale of goods under the scope of IAS 18 Revenue. Management concluded that all contracts entered into
for the construction of real estate meet the revenue recognition criteria for the sale of goods.
Accordingly, revenue from the sale of real estate is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied: the Group has transferred to
the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the real estate, the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the
degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the real estate sold, the amount of revenue and the costs incurred or to be
incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction
will flow to the entity.
3.7.3 Construction revenue
A construction contract is a contract specifically negotiated for the construction of an asset or a combination of assets that are closely
interrelated or interdependent in term of their design, technology and function or their ultimate purpose or use.
Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of
completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period measured based on the completion of a physical proportion of the
contract work. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that they have been agreed with the
customer, their amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable.
Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs
incurred that is probable to be recovered. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. When it is
probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
Cost of sales comprises costs related directly to the sale of goods or rendering of services. These costs include also administration expenses of
revenue generating entities in the Group. Under administration expenses are costs allocated for corporate and head quarter functions as
well as non revenue generating entities, such as corporate companies, holding companies and start up companies. Companies providing
these services are marked as HQ in the subsidiaries' list in note 19.
3.8 Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease substantially transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership to the
lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
3.8.1 The Group as lessor
Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised as receivables at the amount of the Group's net investment in the leases.
Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Group's net investment
outstanding in respect of the leases.
Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in
negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.
3.8.2 The Group as lessee
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the
present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a
finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest
on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are dire ctly attributable to
qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Group’s general policy on borrowing costs (see 3.10 below).
Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
If a sale and leaseback transaction results in a finance lease, the asset is recognized at its previous carrying amount and any gain/loss
recognized over the lease term. In case of a loss, management assesses whether the asset is impaired.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except when another systematic basis is
more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under
operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate
benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except when another systematic basis is more
representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
F-18
2013 Annual Report
The following principles apply when borrowing costs are partly or fully capitalized by the Group as part of a qualifying asset:
3.9 Foreign currencies
The individual financial statements of each subsidiary are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity
operates (its functional currency). For the preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of
each subsidiary are translated into Swiss Franc (CHF), which is the Group’s presentation currency.
Where hedge accounting is not applied to minimize the interest rate risk on borrowings used to fund that asset and, therefore derivatives
are classified as at fair value through profit or loss, all gains / losses on non-hedging derivatives are immediately recognized in profit or
loss.
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency
(foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period,
monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair
value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Where variable rate borrowings are used to finance a qualifying asset and a derivative is designated to cash flow hedge the variability in
interest rates on such borrowings, any gain or loss on the hedging derivative that is effective and, therefore previously recognized in other
comprehensive income, is reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the hedged risk impacts profit or loss. The hedged interest
component of the qualifying asset (hedged risk) impacts profit or loss when the qualifying asset is amortized, impaired or sold.
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:
Exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included
in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings;
Exchange differences on monetary items that qualify as hedging instruments in transactions entered into to hedge certain foreign
currency risks (see 3.22 below for hedging accounting policies); and
Exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor
likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognised initially in other
comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on repayment of the monetary items.
For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into
Swiss Francs (CHF) using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the
average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at
the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated
in the Group’s foreign currency reserve, a separate component in equity (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).
On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control
over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign
operation), all of the exchange differences accumulated in other comprehensive income in respect of that operation attributable to the
owners of the Parent are reclassified to profit or loss.
In the case of a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of
accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial
disposals (i.e. reductions in the Group's ownership interest in associates that do not result in the Group losing significant influence), the
proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments on identifiable assets and liabilities acquired arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated
as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange
differences arising are recognised in equity.
The exchange rates for the major foreign currencies against CHF relevant to the annual consolidated financial statements were:

Where fixed rate borrowings are used to finance a qualifying asset and a derivative is designated to hedge the fair value exposure to
changes in interest rates of such borrowings, the synthetic floating interest rate that is achieved as a result of a highly effective hedge is
capitalized, so that borrowing costs always reflect the hedged interest rate. The amount of borrowing costs capitalized in such a case
comprises the actual fixed rate on the borrowings plus the effect of swapping this fixed rate into floating rates.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted
from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
As the financing activity is co-ordinated centrally and generally by the parent and some of the main subsidiaries, the group determines the
amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on that asset. The group includes all
borrowings of the parent and its subsidiaries when computing the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings that
are outstanding during the period other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset.
The amount of borrowing costs that an entity capitalises during the period shall not exceed the amount of borrowing costs it incurred during
that period, provided that the carrying amount of the qualifying asset on which eligible borrowing costs have been capitalized does not exceed
its recoverable amount (being the higher of fair value less costs to sell or amount in use for that asset).
3.11 Government grants
Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them
and that the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the
related costs for which the grants are received.
Government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are
recognised as deferred revenue in the consolidated statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and
rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate
financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.
The benefit of a government loan granted at below-market interest rates of interest is treated as a government grant and measured as the
difference between proceeds received and the fair value of the loan based on prevailing market interest rates.

3.10 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessary take a
substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until such time, as the assets are
substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
3.12 Retirement benefit costs
Employee pension and retirement benefits are based on the regulations and prevailing circumstances of those countries in whichthe Group is
represented. In Switzerland, ordinary pension and retirement benefit plans qualify as defined-benefit plans and are accounted for in
conformity with IAS 19 Employee Benefits.
For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with
actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each reporting period. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately through
other comprehensive income, whereas past service-costs (vested and unvested) are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position represents the present value of the defined
benefit obligation reduced by the fair value of plan assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of available
refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plan.
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling
them to the contribution.
F-20
2013 Annual Report
3.13 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
3.13.1 Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable
or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of
the reporting period.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. However, when there is
no reasonable certainty that ownership of the leased asset will be obtained by the end of the lease term, assets are depreciated over the
shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the
continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as
the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:
3.13.2 Deferred tax
Buildings
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial
statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and are accounted for using the Balance Sheet Liability
Method.
Plant and equipment
4 – 25 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 – 20 years
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all
deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible
temporary differences can be utilized.
Such deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill and no deferred tax assets or liabilities are
recognised for temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities
in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and
interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the
temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the
extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they
are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the
asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The
measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group
expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities
and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities
on a net basis.
3.13.3 Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the
tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
3.14 Property, plant and equipment
Buildings, plant and equipment, furniture and fixtures held for use in the production, supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes
are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Properties in the course of construction for production, administrative purposes or for a currently undetermined future use are carried at cost
less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with
the Group’s accounting policy as described in note 3.10. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and
equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences
when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Depreciation of buildings, plant and equipment as well as furniture and fixtures commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual
values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are
reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
20 – 50 years
3.15 Investment property
Investment properties are properties (land or a building – or part of a building – or both) held by the Group entities to earn rentals and / or for
capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes). Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including
transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period.
Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognised in profit or loss including an adjustment to the
related deferred tax position in the period in which they arise.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value of investment properties reflects market conditions at the end of each reporting period and is determined without any
deduction for transaction costs which the Group may incur on sale or other disposal. The fair value of investment properties is determined
based on evaluations performed by independent valuators.
An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future
economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the property (calculated as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is
derecognised.
3.16 Impairment of tangible assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any
indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in
order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also
allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a
reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the
asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised
estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is
recognized immediately in profit or loss.
3.17 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Costs, including an appropriate portion of fixed and variable production overheads as well as other costs incurred in bringing the inventories
to their present location and condition, are assigned to inventories by the method most appropriate to the particular class of inventory, with
the majority being valued on a weighted average basis. For items acquired on credit and where payment terms of the transaction are
extended beyond normal credit terms, the cost of that item is its cash price equivalent at the recognition date with any difference from that
price being treated as an interest expense on an effective-yield basis (see note 11).
F-22
2013 Annual Report
F-23Orascom Development
Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make
the sale.
Estimates of net realisable value are generally made on an item-by-item basis, except in circumstances, where it is more approp riate to group
items of similar or related inventories.
The net realizable value of an item of inventory may fall below its cost for many reasons including, damage, obsolescence, slow moving items, a
decline in selling prices, or an increase in the estimate of costs to complete and costs necessary to make the sale. In such cases, the cost of that
item is written-down to its net realizable value and the difference is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Properties intended for sale in the ordinary course of business or in the process of construction or development for such a sale are included in
inventories. These are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of development properties includes the cost of land and
other related expenditure attributable to the construction or development during the period in which activities are in progress that are
necessary to get the properties ready for its intended sale.
3.18 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the
Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the
reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash
flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value
of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is
recognised as an asset, if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can bemeasured reliably.
3.19 Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a Group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisionsof the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or
issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added
to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly
attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or
loss.
3.20 Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales
are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the timeframe established by regulation or convention in the
market place.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the
classification of the financial assets.
3.20.1 Classification of financial assets
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost less impairment loss (except for debt
investments that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the
principal amount outstanding.
3.20.3 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
On initial recognition, the Group can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate investments in equity
instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading.
A financial asset is held for trading if:
it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has evidence of a
recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument or a financial guarantee.
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at
fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the
investments revaluation reserve. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the investments.
The Group has designated all investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading as at FVTOCI on initial application of IFRS 9.
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is
established in accordance with IAS 18 Revenue. Dividends earned are recognised in profit or loss and are included in the ‘inve stment income’
line item.
3.20.4 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL, unless the Group designates an investment that is not held for trading as at fair
value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) on initial recognition.
Debt instruments that do not meet the amortised cost are measured at FVTPL. In addition, debt instruments that meet the amortised cost
criteria but are designated as at FVTPL are measured at FVTPL. A debt instrument may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if
such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or
liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases. The Group has not designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.
Debt instruments are reclassified from amortised cost to FVTPL when the business model is changed such that the amortised cost criteria are
no longer met. Reclassification of debt instruments that are designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition is not allowed.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement
recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss is included in the 'other gains and losses' line item in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Fair value is determined in the manner described in note 42.12.
Interest income on debt instruments as at FVTPL is included in the net gain or loss described above.
Dividend income on investments in equity instruments at FVTPL is recognised in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive the dividends
is established in accordance with IAS 18 Revenue and is included in the net gain or loss as described above.
3.20.5 Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets that are measured at amortised cost are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period.
Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the
initial recognition of the financial assets, the estimated future cash flows of the asset have been affected.
Objective evidence of impairment could include:
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation; or
3.20.2 Effective interest method
the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the
relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees or points paid or
received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life
of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition,
assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group's past
experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of 60 days,
as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments measured subsequently at amortised cost. Interest income is
recognised in profit or loss and is included in the “investment income” line item.
The amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future
cash flows reflecting the amount of collateral and guarantee, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate.
F-24
2013 Annual Report
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade
receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered
uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are cr edited against the
allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring
after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the
carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the
impairment not been recognised.
3.20.6 De-recognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the
financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset,
the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and
also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the
consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
On derecognition of a financial asset that is classified as FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments
revaluation reserve is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is reclassified to retained earnings.
3.21 Financial liabilities and equity instruments
3.21.1 Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by a Group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance
of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
3.21.2 Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of itsliabilities.
The instrument is an equity instrument if, and only if, both conditions (a) and (b) below are met:
a)
b)
The instrument includes no contractual obligation:
i.
to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; or
ii.
to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the
issuer.
If the instrument will or may be settled in the issuer’s own equity instruments, it is:
i.
a non-derivative that includes no contractual obligation for the issuer to deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments; or
ii.
a derivative that will be settled only by the issuer exchanging a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of
its own equity instruments.
A contract that will be settled by the Group entity receiving or delivering a fixed number of its own equity instruments in exchange for a fixed
amount of cash or another financial asset is an equity instrument.
Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or
loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
3.21.3 Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.
A financial liability is classified as current liability when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
It is expected to be settled in the entity’s normal operating cycle
It is held primarily for the purposes of trading;
It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period;
The entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other financial liabilities are classified as non-current
However, financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing
involvement approach applies, financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group, and commitments issued by the Group to provide a loan at
below-market interest rate are measured in accordance with the specific accounting policies set out below.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designatedas at FVTPL.
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
it has been acquired principally for the purpose of reselling it in the near term; or
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual
pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
it is a derivative, except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument.
A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognitionif:
such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is
evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information
about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and the entire combined contract is designated as at FVTPL in
accordance with IFRS 9.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value. Any gains or losses arising on remeasurement of held-for-trading financial liabilities are
recognised in profit or loss. Such gains or losses that are recognised in profit or loss incorporate any interest paid on the financial liabilities and
are included in the ‘other gains and losses’ line item in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
However, for non-held-for-trading financial liabilities that are designated as at FVTPL, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial
liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is recognised in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of
the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or
loss. The remaining amount of change in the fair value of liability is recognised in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial
liability’s credit risk that are recognised in other comprehensive income are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.
Financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent
accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortised cost are determined based on
the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalised as part of costs of an asset is included in the 'finance costs' line item.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The
difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash
assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
3.22 Derivative financial instruments
The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments mainly to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate
risk, including foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps. Further details of derivative financial instruments are disclosed in
notes 35 and 42.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently re-measured to
their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is
designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the
hedge relationship.
A derivative with a positive fair value is recognized as a financial asset; a derivative with a negative fair value is recognized as a financial
liability.
A derivative that has a remaining maturity of less than twelve months from the end of the reporting period or has a remaining maturity greater
than twelve months but is expected to be settled within twelve months is presented as current asset or liability.
F-26
2013 Annual Report
A derivative that is designated and effective in a hedging relationship with a non-current hedged item is presented as a non-current asset or
liability in accordance with the presentation of the hedged item.
4.1 Critical judgments in applying accounting policies
A derivative that has a maturity of more than twelve months from the end of the reporting period and is not intended to be settled within twelve
months is presented as a non-current asset or liability, even if that derivative is not part of a designated and effective hedge accounting.
The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations (see note 4.2 below), that management have made in the
process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated
3.22.1 Hedge accounting
4.1.1 Revenue recognition – Real estate sales
The Group generally designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in respect of foreign currency risk or interest rate risk. Hedges of
foreign currency risk on firm commitments, hedges of net investments in foreign operations as well as hedges of the variability risk of interest
rates are all accounted for by the Group as cash flow hedges.
The operating cycle of residential construction projects predominantly starts when the Group enters into agreements to sell the real estate
units off-plan. The Group treats the sale of real estate units as sale of goods in accordance with IAS 18 Revenue and IFRIC 15 Agreements for
the Construction of Real Estates. Management takes the view that the critical event of revenue recognition hinges on the transfer of
significant risks and rewards of ownership and control to the buyer. When management makes this assessment it ensures that the detailed
criteria for revenue recognition from the sale of goods as set out in IAS 18 and IFRIC 15 - including the transfer of significant risks and rewards
of ownership and control to the buyer - are satisfied and that recognition of revenue from the sale of real estate is appropriate in the current
reporting period.
At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along
with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge
and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument, in a hedging relationship, is highly effective in offsetting
changes in cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.
3.22.2 Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is
recognised immediately in profit or loss, and is included in the ‘other gains and losses’ line item.
Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods
when the hedged item is recognised in profit or loss, in the same line of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as the
recognised hedged item. However, when the hedged forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial
liability, the gains and losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are transferred from equity
and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Group revokes the hedging relationship, the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or
exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated
in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. When a
forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
3.23 Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale
transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the non-current
asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be
expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
When a Group entity acquires a non-current asset (or disposal group) exclusively with a view to its subsequent disposal, it classifies the noncurrent asset (or disposal group) as held for sale at the acquisition date only if the one-year requirement above is met and it is highly probable
that the other criteria above that are not met at that date will be met within a short period following the acquisition.
When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all of the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary are
classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, regardless of whether the Group will retain a non-controlling interest in
its former subsidiary after the sale.
Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amoun t and fair value
less costs to sell.
4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF
ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, management is required to make judgments, estimates
and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and
associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period
in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects
both current and future periods.
Given the structure of the real estate sale contracts and the application of IAS 18 and IFRIC 15 as described above, revenue recognition from
residential construction projects can occur in independent stages which consist of the sale of land, constructed, but unfinished units and
finished units. The transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership and control of each stage is documented in an official delivery
protocol and signed by representatives of the Group as well as the buyer.
4.1.2 Government grants
Acquisition by the Group entities of part of the land used in the construction of their real estate projects from governments of the local
jurisdictions in which they carry out their activities has not brought these transactions under the scope of IAS 20 Accountin g for Government
Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance and, therefore, has not resulted in the recognition of government grants in the current or in
prior periods.
In these cases the government is the only possible seller in the market and the Group purchases the land at market prices available to all
interested parties and does not obtain finance facilities from the government which would require accounting for government grants.
4.1.3 Employee benefits expense
Employee benefits expense which are directly related to the sale of goods or rendering of services form part of the operation’s cost of sales.
Where employee benefit expense is incurred to perform head quarter functions or relate to non-revenue generating entities, such as
corporate companies, holding companies and start up companies, they are allocated to administration expenses.
4.1.4 Sale of 15% stake in Garranah investments and sale of tour operations
On 1 November 2012, the Group signed a share sale and purchase agreement to sell to the Garranah family an additional 15% perce nt stake
in five investments whereof four are operating floating hotels (International Stock Company for Floating Hotels & Touristic Establishments,
Mirotel for Floating Hotels Company, Tarot Garranah & Merotil for Floating Hotels, El Tarek for Nile Cruises & Floating Hotels) and one is
active as a tour operator (Tarot Tours Company (Garranah) SAE). The company that provides tour transportation services (Tarot Garranah
for Touristic Transportation) has been sold completely.
Pursuant to this agreement, the Group’s interest in the four operating floating hotels and the tour operator decreased from 45 to 30 percent
however the Group keeps significant influence over these investments in associates. All interests held in the company providing tour
transportations services have been sold. Legal procedures to transfer title were still in process at year end.
Losses on disposal of the 15% stake in Garranah Group entities of CHF 6.4 million were realized on sale of the 15% stake. However, as such
losses were already recognized as indirect impairment through provisions based on the estimated sales price in the third quarter of 2012,
they are shown as impairment and not as loss from disposal of part of the investments in associates. Together with the gains from the sale of the
tour transportation services company these losses were recognised through “other gains and losses” (refer to note 10 for further details).
Included in these sale and purchase agreements is also the sale of the residual entity of the Group operation in the tour operations segment.
This sale is disclosed as a discontinued operation in accordance with IFRS 5 in these consolidated financial statements, as management is of
the opinion that being the residual entity of the tour operations segment the sale represents a separate major line of business. This part of the
transaction also included an additional purchase of 8.8% in the subsidiary Royal for Investments.
4.1.5 Deferred taxation on investment property
For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets arising from investment properties management concluded that
the Group’s investment properties are held under a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits
embodied in the investment properties over time, rather than through sales. Therefore, in determining the Group’s deferred taxation on
investment properties, management has determined that the presumption that the carrying amounts of investment properties measured
using the fair value model are recovered entirely through sale is rebutted. As a result, the Group has recognised deferred taxe s on changes in
fair value of investment properties.
F-28
2013 Annual Report
4.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting
period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial
year.
4.2.1 Impairment of tangible assets and investments in associates
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets and investments in associat es 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 cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also
allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise, they are allocated to the smallest Group of cash-generating units for which a
reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
In light of the political development in Egypt, management reconsidered the recoverability of the Group's significant items of property, plant
and equipment and its investments in associates, which are included in the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2013
at CHF 766,992,221 and CHF 103,633,179 respectively (31 December 2012: CHF 1,002,981,620 and CHF 18,852,835).
As at 31 December 2o13 the impairment review of investments in associates resulted in an impairment loss of CHF 4.6 million on the
investments in Garranah entities. All investments in Garranah entities are now completely written off. Already in 2012 some of the
investments in Garranah entities were impaired by CHF 18.6 million. The impairment losses are shown as other gains and losses (for further
details see notes 10 and 20).
In relation to property, plant and equipment, the impairment review of the Eco Bos project in the UK resulted in an impairment loss of CHF
10.9 million which is mainly due to capitalized cost for which no future benefit can be expected. Further, the impairment review of the budget
housing project in Haram City resulted in an impairment loss of CHF 4.3 million which is recognized within property, plant and equipment.
The impairment losses are shown as other gains/losses (note 10.)
Other than that no other items of property, plant and equipment or investments in associates were impaired. Management is aware that the
slow-down in processes and logistics still impacts the business operations considerably. Therefore, they periodically reconsider their
assumptions in light of the macroeconomic developments regarding future anticipated margins on their products. Detailed sensitivity analysis
has been carried out and management is confident that the carrying amount of these assets will be recovered in full, even if returns are
reduced. This situation will be closely monitored, and adjustments made in future periods if future market activity indicates that such
adjustments are appropriate.
4.2.2 Valuation of financial assets at FVTOCI
Basically the fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI is based on stock quotes. However, due to extraordinary situations, as for example the
political situation in Egypt, such market prices might not reflect the real value at all times. In such cases alternative valuation methods are used
to determine the fair value.
4.2.3 Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The carrying value of the Group's property, plant and equipment at the end of the current reporting period is CHF 766,992,221 (31
December 2012: CHF 1,002,981,620). Management’s assessment of the useful life of property, plant and equipment is based on the
expected use of the assets, the expected physical wear and tear on the assets, technological developments as well as past experience with
comparable assets. A change in the useful life of any asset may have an effect on the amount of depreciation that is to be recognized in profit
or loss for future periods.
4.2.4 Impairment of goodwill
Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been
allocated. The value in use calculation requires management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit
and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.
The carrying amount of goodwill at the end of the current reporting period is CHF 6,553,348 (31 December 2012: 7,331,756). The
recoverability of goodwill is tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or earlier, if an indication of impairment exists. The value
of goodwill is primarily dependent upon projected cash flows, discount rates (WACC) and long-term growth rates. The significant
assumptions are disclosed in note 18. As at 31 December 2013 the annual impairment test showed no impairment loss (2012: none). Changes
to the assumptions may result in further impairment losses in subsequent periods.
4.2.5 Provisions
The carrying amount of provisions at the end of the current reporting period is CHF 95,605,112 (31 December 2012: CHF79,106,988). This
amount is based on estimates of future costs for infrastructure completion, legal cases, government fees, employee benefits and other
charges including taxes in connection with the Group’s operations (see note 36). As the provisions cannot be determined exactly, the amount
could change based on future developments. Changes in the amount of provisions due to change in management estimates are accounted for
on a prospective basis and recognized in the period in which the change in estimates arises.
4.2.6 Impairment of trade and other receivables as well as other current assets
An allowance for doubtful receivables is recognized in order to record foreseeable losses arising from events such as a customer’s insolvency.
The carrying amount of the allowance for trade and other receivables at the end of the current reporting period is CHF 25,971,712 (31
December 2012: CHF 42,730,631) (see note 24). In determining the amount of the allowance, several factors are considered. These include
the aging of accounts receivables balances, the current solvency of the customer and the historical write-off experience.
A similar assessment has been done in relation to the recoverability of other current assets amounted to CHF 61,706,893 (2012:
CHF 74,015,193) which includes amounts due from employees and management (see note 26) as well as outstanding proceeds from the sale
of the six percent stake in the former Garranah subsidiaries. To determine the need for the recognition of any impairment charge,
management considered several factors, such as the contractual repayment date, current solvency of the counterparty and historical writeoff experience. In 2012 an impairment charge of total CHF 9.9 million has been booked in relation to the amounts outstanding from
employees and management. In 2013 there were no further impairment losses within other current assets.
4.2.7 Deferred income taxes
The measurement of deferred income tax assets and liabilities is based on the judgment of management. Deferred income tax assets are only
capitalized if it is probable that they can be used. Whether or not they can be used depends on whether the deductable tax temporary
difference can be offset against future taxable gains. In order to assess the probability of their future use, estimates must be made of various
factors including future taxable profits. At 31 December 2013 deferred income tax assets amounted to CHF 15,679,458 (31 December
2012: CHF 31,097,243) that have mainly resulted from the tax impact of carry forward tax losses (see note 13). Such deferred tax assets are
only recorded when the development phase of the project has been started and it becomes evident that future taxable profits are probable. If
the actual values differ from the estimates, this can lead to a change in the assessment of recoverability of the deferred tax assets and
accounting for such a change, if any, is to be made on a prospective basis in the reporting periods affected by the change. As at 31 December
2013, the reassessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets resulted in derecognised deferred tax assets of CHF 11.4 million.
4.2.8 Retirement benefit obligations
The retirement benefit obligation is calculated on the basis of various financial and actuarial assumptions. The key assumptions for assessing
these obligations are the discount rate, future salary and pension increases and the probability of the employee reaching retirement. The
obligation was calculated using a discount rate of 2.10% (31 December 2012: 2.00%) as well as future salary increases of 1.00% (31
December 2012: 1.00%).. The calculations were done by an external expert and the principal assumptions used are summarised in note 40.
At 31 December 2013, the underfunding amounted to CHF 977,640 (31 December 2012: CHF 2,604,653). Using other basis for the
calculations could have led to different results.
4.2.9 Classification and valuation of investment property
Generally real estate units are constructed either for the Group’s own use or for the sale to third parties and carried at cost. However, when a
unit may not be sold, as soon as a long term rent contract over more than 1 year is agreed with a third party at market conditions, the unit is
classified as an investment property and measured at the fair value obtained from independent, third party valuation experts. The fair value of
investment properties at 31 December 2013 is CHF 9,986,618 (2012: CHF 78,903,321).
The fair values at 31 December 2013, which exclude the investment properties of CMAR (see note 28 for details), were determined based
on an internal valuation model. The last external valuations were prepared as at 31 December 2012 by Fincorp, an accredited valuation
specialist in Egypt. Note 17 provides detailed information about the valuation techniques applied and the key assumptions used in the
determination of the fair value of each investment property.
4.2.10 Net realisable value of inventory
Inventory mainly includes real estate construction work under progress which is recognised at cost or net realisable value. The majority of real
estate under construction (approximately three quarters) is already sold at market prices which are significantly higher than construction
cost. Therefore the estimation uncertainty only relates to the unsold real estate under construction. In general the profit margins on these real
estate projects are high and management currently does not expect any of these projects to be sold below cost except for the following:
Impairment review of real estate projects in Oman showed that for some real estate units the expected market price is below its
construction costs. Therefore a write-down of CHF 4.9 million has been recognized within cost of sales.
4.2.11 Infrastructure cost
The Group has an obligation under the terms of its sale and purchase agreements to develop the infrastructure of the sold land. Infrastructure
cost is deemed to form part of the cost of revenue and is based on management estimate of the future budgeted costs to be incurred in
relation to the project including, but are not limited to, future subcontractor costs, estimated labor costs, and planned other material costs.
The provision for infrastructure costs requires the Group’s management to revise its estimate of such costs on a regular basis in light of
current market prices for inclusion as part of the cost of revenue.

4.2.12 Liquidity shortages and related uncertainties
The following is an analysis of the Group's revenue from continuing operations by its major products and services.
For further details on management’s plans to manage liquidity shortages and related uncertainty please refer to note 27.1.
4.2.13 Minimum building obligations
One part of the Group’s business is to acquire land for the development of tourism projects. Out of these business opportunities often no
legally binding commitments incur however the Group has unbinding business opportunity commitments in relation to their projects. These
contingent liabilities are further explained in note 47.1. Due to the complexity of the projects and the ongoing negotiations, estimation of the
contingent liability involves a high degree of uncertainty.

7 SEGMENT INFORMATION
7.1 Products and services from which reportable segments derive their revenues
After selling the last subsidiary operating in the “Tours operations” segment in 2012 and therefore showing the “Tours operations” segment as
discontinued operation (note 14), the Group has four remaining reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group’s strategic
divisions. The strategic divisions offer different products and services and are managed separately because they require different skills or
have different customers. For each of the strategic divisions, the Country CEOs and the Head of Segments review the internal management

Further, impairment review of real estate projects in Oman showed that for some real estate units the expected market price is below its construction costs. Therefore a write-down of CHF 4.9 million has been recognized within
cost of sales (note 23). The impairment losses have been allocated to the real estate and construction segment. No such write-downs were recognized in 2012.
In 2013, impairment losses of CHF 10.9 million regarding property, plant and equipment have been recognized for Eco Bos project in the UK which has not been allocated to one of the segments due to headquarter function of the
entity . Further, in 2013 impairment review of the budget housing project in Haram City resulted in an impairment loss of CHF 4.3 million which was recognized in property, plant and equipment (note 16) and CHF 6.8 million as
additional provision (note 16). The impairment losses have been allocated to the real estate and construction segment. No impairment loss in respect of property, plant and equipment as well as goodwill was recognized in 2012.
No single customer contributed ten percent or more to the Group’s revenue for both 2013 and 2012.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies described in note 3. Segment result represents the profit earned by each segment without allocation of central administration
costs and directors’ salaries, share of profits (losses) of associates, investment income, other gains and losses, finance costs and income tax expense, as included in the internal management reports that are regularly reviewed by the
Board of Directors. This measure is considered to be most relevant for the purpose of resources allocation and assessment of segment performance.

The aftermath of the Arab Spring continues to affect the Group’s performance in 2013 as the political uncertainty and the afte r-effects of the
extraordinary events that took place in Egypt and other countries in the Middle East have had a significant impact on the general business
environment in these countries. The slow-down in processes and logistics does still impact the business operations considerably.

Gain on disposal of subsidiaries (vii)
Other gains/(losses)
Total segment result of CHF (13.0) million (2012: CHF 21.3 million) mainly decreased due to the following:
There was a significant decrease in the hotel segment result mainly due to the negative impacts of the second revolution in Egypt that took
place in June2013 and that has negatively affected the flow of tourism to Egypt following several travel bans imposed by several
European countries.
There was a significant decrease in the real estate and construction segment mainly due to a decrease in real estate and construction
activity in Oman and El Gouna.

(i) The amount of capitalization cost of qualifying assets (project under construction and work in progress) has decreased compared to prior
year. This is mainly due to the deconsolidation of the Swiss operations (note 39) as well as decreased activities in relation to the current
hotel projects and real estate projects in Egypt and Oman, which are eligible for the capitalization of interest expense and the increase in
the weighted average capitalization rate.
The rate used by the Group to determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization is 8.22% per annum (2012: 7.60% per annum).

There is a compensation plan in place for the Board of Directors which consists of a fixed compensation subject to an annual review. As to the
compensation of the members of Executive Management, the base salary is either (in case of members who have served in that capa city since
the Company was formed in 2008) carried over from their previous employment with Orascom Hotels & Development SAE, or (in case of
members appointed at a later time) determined in a discretionary decision of the CEO approved by the Nomination & Compensation
Committee. In respect of the bonus part of the compensation, proposals by the CEO are presented to the Nomination & Compensation
Committee which discusses such proposals and approves them if deemed fit.
The annual proposals and decisions concerning the compensation of the members of Executive Management are based on an evaluation of
the individual performance of each member, as well as of the performance of the business area for which each member is respons ible (in case
of the executive members of the Board, the performance of the Orascom Development Group as a whole). The CEO forms the respective
proposals in his discretion, based on his judgment of the relevant individuals' and business areas' achievements.
Total compensation of directors and Executive Management is part of the employees benefit expense allocated between cost of sales and
administrative expenses (see note 8).

Temporary differences in subsidiaries (ii)
229,117,480
316,992,509
(i) At 31 December 2012 the Parent Company’s tax losses amounted to CHF 2,154,966,605 which mainly related to tax losses caused by
impairment charges recognized on investments as a consequence of the recent restructuring of the Group. The historical cost value of
these investments was the fair value of the investments on the occasion of the stock market listing in Switzerland.
The Parent Company incorporated in Switzerland is a holding company and enjoys a privileged taxation for dividend income from
subsidiaries, as such income is tax exempted if certain criteria are met.
The Parent Company does not expect to have any substantial income streams other than tax exempted dividend income in the
foreseeable future and therefore it is not probable that the unused tax losses can be utilized. As a consequence and unchanged to prior
year, all of the tax losses accumulated in the Parent Company which amounted to CHF 2,184,349,855 at 31 December 2013 were
treated as unrecognized deferred tax assets.
(ii) At 31 December 2013, the Group has not recognised deferred tax assets for gains recognized at the subsidiaries level on intercompany
land sales which took place in 2010 in the amount of CHF 208,506,740 (31 December 2012: CHF 233,390,930). During 2012, the
Group has not recognised any deferred tax asset on the sale transaction as the development of this land either has not yet been started or
is still in the early stages of development and therefore it is not evident that future taxable profits are probable. The residual temporary
differences are unrecognized tax losses in subsidiaries which expire in 2017.

As ASA and its subsidiaries represent the entire Swiss operations of the Group, which is considered a major geographical area of operations
of the Group, the sold operations are recognized as discontinued operations and are presented accordingly.
14.1.2 Disposal of Tour Operations (2012)
As at 1 November 2012 OHD, a subsidiary of the Group, entered into shares sale and purchase agreements with Garranah family. Besides
reducing the ownership in several investments in associates, the Group sold their remaining subsidiary operating in the tour operations
business. Therefore the segment “tour operations” is considered a discontinued operation and is presented accordingly.
14.2 Analysis of loss for the period from discontinued operations
The result of the discontinued operation included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income is set out below. The comparative
loss and cash flows from discontinued operations have been re-presented to include this operation classified as discontinued in the current

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings from continuing operations attributable to ordinary shareholders by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. As the company does not have any dilutive
potential, the basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.

The fair values at 31 December 2013, which exclude the investment properties of CMAR (see note 28 for details), were determined based
on an internal valuation model. The last external valuations were prepared as at 31 December 2012 by Fincorp, an accredited valuation
specialist in Egypt.
The internal valuation model relies on the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method to determine the fair value of the investment property. The
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) approach describes a method to value the investment property using the concepts of the time value of money.
All future cash flows are estimated and discounted to give them a present value. This valuation method is in conformity with the International
Valuation Standards. The same method was used for any previous external valuations. As investment property only consists of a few
properties in Egypt, management has decided to use an internal valuation model due to efficiency and cost saving reasons.
For the valuation of the investment property which is situated in Egypt the model used cash flow projections based on financial budgets for the
next five years and an average discount rate of 20.0% (cost of equity). For the terminal value a perpetual growth rate of 3% was used.
As at 31 March 2013 the investment properties of CMAR were reclassified as non-current assets held for sale. For further details refer to
note 28. The Group’s remaining investment properties are located in Egypt.
All of the Group’s investment property is held under freehold interests. The following table summarizes income and direct operating
expenses from investment properties rented out to third parties.

18 GOODWILL
CHF
Cost
In 2012 no impairment losses were recognized.
The impairment review of the Eco Bos project in the UK resulted in an impairment loss of CHF 10.9 million which is mainly due to capitalized cost for which no future benefit can be expected. Further, the impairment
review of the budget housing project in Haram City resulted in an impairment loss of CHF 4.3 million within property, plant and equipment. The impairment losses are shown as other gains/losses (note 10).
At 31 December 2013, property, plant and equipment (PPE) of the Group with a carrying amount of CHF 86.7 million (31 December 2012: CHF 70.3 million) were pledged to secure borrowings of the Group as
described in note 33. See note 11 for the capitalized finance cost during the year.

18.1 Allocation of goodwill to cash-generating units
Annual test for impairment
An impairment test of goodwill was performed by the Group in order to assess the recoverable amount of its goodwill. No impairment was
recorded as a result of this test. All cash-generating units were tested for impairment using the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method in
accordance with IFRS.
The Group has control over all the subsidiaries below either directly or indirectly through subsidiaries controlled by the Parent Company.
Details of the Group’s significant subsidiaries at the end of the reporting period are as follows:
Country – Company name
The Group’s business segments have been identified as cash–generating units. The DCF model utilized to evaluate the recoverable amounts
of these units was based on a five year projection period. A further description of the assumptions used in the model is given in the following

As already mentioned, Egypt has been on the brink of social and political turmoils in the past few years. While the Egyptian uprising has come
with the promise of major political reform, it has led to the temporary disruption of economic activity. Looking beyond the current crisis, Egypt
can benefit from maintaining its current momentum towards economic liberalization, privatization, and a more efficient government. This will
improve Egypt’s economic position and help foster a sustained growth once the inevitable global economic upturn materializes. In light of the
previously mentioned analysis, the impairment model has taken the current economical situation of Egypt into close consideration.

The recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit has been determined based on a value in use calculation which uses cash flow
projections based on the financial budgets approved by management covering a ten-year period that consists of two phases. The first phase is
a 5-year period which shows the evolving status of the hotel segment indicated by being back to the operating standards of before the 2011
revolution. And the second phase is a 5-year period which shows the steady performance of the hotel operation. An average discount rate of
20.0% per annum (2012: 18% per annum) was used for the value in use calculation. The discount rate is based on a risk free interest rate of
10.0%, a beta of 1.00 as well as a risk premium of 10.0%. An average occupancy rate of 75% - 80% was used for the calculations at the end of
phase one.

management is a reasonably possible change in key assumptions, did not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit.

Cash flow projections during the budget period were based on management’s expected growth rates for each hotel within the cashgenerating unit. The cash flows beyond that five year period were extrapolated using a growth rate of 3%. For the terminal value calculation,
normalized cash flows were used taking into consideration the sufficiency of projected capital expenditure versus depreciation.
No impairment loss (2012: CHF nil) was recognized due to impairment test described above.

(i) Andermatt Swiss Alps AG
On 25 June 2013 the Group lost control over Andermatt Swiss Alps AG (“ASA”) due to various capital increases in ASA in which th e Group
did not fully participate. With a remaining share of interest of 49% in ASA, the investment is classified as investment in associates. For further
details regarding the capital increases and the corresponding deemed loss of control refer to note 39.
The fair value of ASA on initial recognition as investment in associates is based on a third-party valuation which supported the transaction
price paid by Mr. Samih Sawiris.
In December 2013 ASA has opened the Chedi Hotel in Andermatt, which is the first hotel of the development project.
ASA has obligations towards the canton of Uri and the municipality of Andermatt. ASA is responsible for the construction of certain parts of
the tourism resort Andermatt. Within certain periods of time or should the construction work be stopped for whatever reason, ASA has the
obligation to rebuild the relevant plots of land to the original state. As at 31 December 2013, 36,985 ASA shares owned by the Company
(2012; 36,985) have been pledged as a security to the canton and municipality.

The company develops real estate and housing projects located in Egypt for the low cost sector. The proportion of ownership interest held by
the Group at 31 December 2013 is unchanged to prior year. In 2013, the investment was reduced to CHF nil as the losses in their last
financial statements exceeded the carrying amount of the investment.
(iv) ODH investments in Garranah Group subsidiaries
2013
The Group continues to hold a 30% interest in the four operating floating hotels and a tour operator entity of the Garranah Group. As at 31
December 2013, the residual carrying amount of the investments in Garranah were fully impaired and an impairment loss of CHF 4.6 million
was recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as “other gains and losses” as described in note 10.
Impairment 2012
During 2012 an impairment loss of CHF 12.2 million was recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as “other gains and losses” as
described in note 10. The recoverable amount was determined using a DCF-model based on the latest financial performance and financial
forecasts of Garranah for five years. The discount rates used were between 14% and 17% and the growth rates used were based on market
expectations. As at 31 December 2012 no further impairment was necessary.
Sale of 15% stake in Garranah investments in 2012
On 1 November 2012, the Group signed a share sale and purchase agreement to sell to the Garranah family an additional 15% stake in five
investment whereof four are operating floating hotels (International Stock Company for Floating Hotels & Touristic Establishments, Mirotel
for Floating Hotels Company, Tarot Garranah & Merotil for Floating Hotels, El Tarek for Nile Cruises & Floating Hotels) and one is active as a
tour operator (Tarot Tours Company (Garranah) SAE). The company that provides tour transportation services (Tarot Garranah for Touristic
Transportation) has been sold completely.
Pursuant to this agreement, the Group’s interest in the four operating floating hotels and the tour operator decreased from 45 to 30 percent
however the Group keeps its significant influence over these investments in associates. All interests held in the company providing tour
transportations services have been sold. Legal procedures to transfer title were still in process at year end.
Losses on disposal of the 15% stake in Garranah Group entities of CHF 6.4 million were recognized on sale of the 15% stake. However, as
such losses were already recognized as indirect impairment through provisions based on the estimated sales price in the third quarter of
2012, they are shown as impairment and not as loss from disposal of part of the investments in associates. Together with the gains from the sale
of the tour transportation services company these losses were recognised through “other gains and losses” (refer to note 10 for further
details).

Andermatt-Sedrun Sport AG is held directly by ASA. As ASA was deconsolidated in the second quarter of 2013, the investment in ASS has
been derecognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. However, it is still included in the carrying amount of ASA which is
shown as investment in associates. For further details refer to note 39.
2012
As further explained in note 39, the Group lost control over its investment in Andermatt-Sedrun Sport AG (“ASS”) however with a 40.26%
interest still has significant influence. The investment in associates is accounted for at its fair value on transaction date plus the share of
gains/losses of ASS since the transaction date. The fair value of ASS was assessed by using a DCF model for its investment in the skiing area,
which is the main asset of ASS. The DCF valuation is based on a five year business plan and a relatively low discount rate of 5.5% which is due
to favourable long-term government financing. In connection with the acquisition of the skiing areas a total loss of CHF 1.9m resulted from this
transaction. See note 39 for further details.

The investment in Egyptian Resort Company (“ERC”) remains unchanged to prior year. The company is acting as the developer of the
hotel and real estate project in Sahel Hashish (Egypt). Since March 2011, ERC is involved in a dispute with the General Authority for
Tourism and Development (“GATD”).
In general the stock market in Egypt has weakened in 2013 following the significant recovery in 2012. However, due to low turnover, the
markets are still very volatile. In line with this overall downtrend the fair value of ERC has decreases by CHF 0.3 million after it witnessed
significant gains in 2012.

(iv) Falcon Company for hotels
The financial statements of Falcon Company for Hotels (“Falcon”) were incorporated into ODH’s consolidated financial statementsat 31
December 2008 in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, as a result of the business combination previously
effected through one of ODH’s subsidiaries whereby control had existed over Falcon at that time. Subsequent to the first time
consolidation, but prior to the completion of the transfer of the legal title on the Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX), a dispute over the
Falcon securities purchase agreement had arisen. At the beginning of October 2009, the Group ceased consolidating Falcon due to
changes in Falcon’s management resulting in a loss of control for the Group which was one of the reasons of the dispute. Management
believes that the carrying amount of this investment is the best estimate of its fair value as at 1 January 2011 and any period since then.
Non-current receivables include long term receivables for real estate contracts, which will be collected over an average collecting period of
5.5 years (2012: 5.5 years). Accounts receivables from the mortgage company (Tamweel Mortgage Finance Company S.A.E.), one of OHD
subsidiaries, were reclassified as disposal Group in 2013. For further details refer to note28. None of these non-current receivables
impaired and/or overdue.
In 2012, Tamweel Mortgage Finance Company S.A.E. has pledged trade receivable with carrying amount of CHF 18.7 to secure borrowings
(note 33).

This amount includes real estate construction work under progress. The real estate units are sold off plan. The decrease is mainly due to
the deconsolidation of the Swiss subsidiaries. For further details on the net realisable value of construction work in progress refer to note
4.2.10.
(ii) In 2008, the finance leases between OHD and General Authority for Touristic and Development (“GATD”) for development of land
were terminated and replaced with purchase agreements with GATD. On May 2008, OHD signed a new purchase agreement with
GATD to purchase a plot of land and paid a down payment of 27% and the remaining balance is payable in equal annual instalment
commencing upon the expiry of the grace period of three years. In addition, OHD is required to pay an annual interest at the rate of 5%
after the grace period with each instalment.
The value of land shown above is for those plots of land assigned for development and not yet sold by OHD.
(iii) This amount includes hotels inventory of CHF 19.5 million (2012: CHF 21.8 million) as well as completed but unsold units of CHF 47.9
million (2012: CHF 34.6 million)
In 2013 the following material write-downs of inventory were recognised:
Impairment review of real estate projects in Oman showed that for some real estate units the expected market price is below its
construction costs. Therefore impairment write-down of CHF 4.9 million has been recognized within cost of sales.
There were no material write-downs or reversal of write-downs of inventory in 2012.

of real-estate is 5.5 years. No contractual interest is charged on trade receivables arising from the sale of real estate units . Interest is only
charged in case of customers default. The Group has recognised an allowance for doubtful debts of 53% (2012: 42%) based on individual
bad debts and allowances due to past due amounts. Allowances for doubtful debts are recognised against trade receivables based on
estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to past default experience of the counterparty and an analysis of the
counterparty's current financial position.

25.1 Leasing arrangements
Tamweel Leasing Finance Co., a subsidiary of the Group entered into finance lease arrangements for buildings, cars, equipment, computer
hardware and software as a lessor. All leases are denominated in EGP. The average term of finance leases entered into was ten years. In 2013
Tamweel Leasing Finance Co. was reclassified as disposal group. For further details refer to note 28. Except for the reclassified leasing
arrangements of Tamweel Leasing Finance Co., there are no further leasing arrangements within the Group.
(iii) This amount is due from employees and management team including executive board members as a result of receiving two million OHD
shares in 2007. These shares were previously issued based on a general assembly resolution in OHD dated 13 February 2006
authorizing the company to issue 2 million shares at par to be used to allocate to employees and management team (see note 44). All of
these shares were swapped at a rate of 1:10 for ODH shares in 2008. On one side payment of the share price was deferred and payback
period was extended each year, on the other side employees and management were instructed not to sell their unpaid shares. Due to the
fact that the share price decreased substantially since the allocation of the shares, provisions against these receivables were recognized
in 2011 and 2012. In March 2013, the terms and conditions of the final settlement were ultimately determined by the Board of Directors
based on the share price as at 31 December 2012. This resulted in an amount of CHF 1,831,250 (2012: 1,831,250) which is due from
employees and management team including executive board members and a residual provision of CHF 1,068,750 (2012: CHF
1,068,750). All other amounts due were netted off. The reduction in the amount due from employee and management is not considered
remuneration as the shares were not ready for use until this final settlement agreement. Therefore only the issuance of shares to the
employees and management in 2007 should be regarded as remuneration.
27 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For the purposes of the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and balances at
banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments of maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date, that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Cash and cash equivalents at year end as shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows can be reconciled to the related items in the
consolidated statement of financial position as follows:

Following the political turmoil in Egypt and other Arab countries the market segments where the group operates became severely affected.
The Group’s real estate and hotel operations in Egypt initially suffered significantly. Oman destinations have been facing a reduction in
tourism and real estate revenues due to secondary impact of the Arab spring and the slowdown of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)
economies; a trend that is now reversing in the GCC countries. Accordingly, the operating cash flows of the group have significantly
decreased in the last three years. Key indicators in Egypt have also started to show initial signs of slow recovery.
Total liabilities associated with non-current assets held for sale
Although there is certain flexibility in the timing of capital expenditures and management believes that debt repayment may be re-negotiated,
there is a need to generate extra liquidity in addition to the operational cash flows.
The actions taken by the group so far towards managing this situation are as follows:
Partial sale of the Swiss operations
On 26 March 2013 the board agreed with the Chairman, Mr. Samih Sawiris, that he converts his previously extended loans to the Group into
the equity of the Swiss subsidiary Andermatt Swiss Alps (ASA) reducing the Group share in ASA to 49% and that he becomes respon sible for
the funding of the resort by investing at least CHF 150 million into ASA). This move, not only relieves ODH from further funding needs from
ASA, but also reduces debt and its burden on ODH and significantly improves the debt / equity ratio.
New Loan from Chairman
For 2013, Mr. Samih Sawiris agreed to lend the Group up to CHF 60 million of which CHF 31.8 million were used. In November 2013, Mr.
Samih Sawiris renewed his commitment and agreed to lend the Group up to CHF 60 million until end of December 2014. In March 201 4 this
commitment was replaced by a new commitment, in which Mr. Samih Sawiris agreed to lend the Group up to CHF 115 million until end of
April 2015. Of the superseded commitment signed in November 2013 as well as of its replacemet signed in March 2014 nothing has been
drawn down until the date of this report.
Monetization plan
Management has also prepared a monetization plan in 2012 to sell certain assets and implement other actions to generate cash. This has and
will continue to free up cash to be injected into the business of the group. So far CHF 62.5 million have been realized through this monetization
plan which is in line with what management has expected in the prior period. Management expects to realize an additional CHF 50-70
million from further monetization items.
However, should the action steps under the monetization plan not be sufficient to fund the Group’s operations, then the group intends to
postpone certain planned capital expenditure investments that are discretionary; such postponement of these projects will result in shifting
their related revenues forward to the future until they are completed.
From an operational perspective management is still working on several cost saving initiatives that should generate further savings in
overhead expenses, direct expenses and interest expenses. These initiatives target enhancing the performance of the group in certain
segments where we believe that there is room for enhancement mainly in the hotel segment in Egypt.
Management believes that these plans are sufficient to substantially mitigate the liquidity risk.
Given that there is a certain degree of uncertainty in major countries where the Group operates, namely Egypt and Oman, the loan from our
Chairman as noted above is extended to support the company in the coming few months should such uncertainties prevail. However
management keeps monitoring the events as they unfold in case further immediate action is required.

27.1 Management’s plans to manage liquidity shortages and related uncertainty
The current cash flows from normal operations are not, on their own, sufficient to finance the current operational costs, the capital
expenditures commitment as well as the other planned but not committed investments in the Group’s destinations in addition to the debt
repayment obligations.

(i) Planned disposal of CMAR
On 5 December 2012, European Investment Bank (EIB) served a letter to a subsidiary of the Group notifying EIB’s intention to sell their
interest in the shares of Club Méditerranée Albion Resort Ltd. (CMAR) based on the Put option and Call option Agreement date d April
2006 between International Holding for Hotels Company (IHH), European Investment Bank (EIB), and Société de Promotion ET De
Participation pour la Cooperation Economique (PROPARCO). Subsequently, on 15 January 2013, IHH served to PROPARCO a
letter notifying IHH’s intention to exercise the Call Option, through which the Group will acquire the residual interests in the share
capital of CMAR.
It is the Group’s intention to sell its investment in CMAR within the next few months to a third party. Therefore, in February 2013, a third
party has been mandated to put the investment on the market and find a suitable buyer. CMAR does not qualify as discontinued
operation as it is neither a separate major line of business nor a geographical area of operations. As the carrying value of the disposal
group was lower than the fair value less costs to sell, no valuation adjustment was recognised in the statement of comprehensive income
for the disposal group on initial reclassification.
The fair value of the investment property at 31 December 2013 has been arrived at on the basis of a valuation report carried out at this
date by Mr. Ramlackhan of Broll Indian Ocean Ltd, an independent valuation specialist not related to the Group. He is an accredited
valuator in Mauritius and has appropriate qualifications and recent experience in the valuation of properties in the relevant locations.
The valuation company has relied on the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method to determine the fair value of the investment property.
This valuation method is in conformity with the International Valuation Standards. For the valuation of the investment property in
Mauritius the valuer used cash flow projections based on the rental contracts and the financial budgets approved by the directors,
covering a ten-year period and an average discount rate of 10.52% per annum. The expected rental income based on the rental
contracts was indexed using a historical inflation index provided by Eurostat.
(ii) Planned disposal of Tamweel
In their August 2013 meeting the Board of Directors decided to sell its Tamweel Group companies (“Tamweel”) and management has
engaged a third party as sell side advisor. The sale process has been started in mid September 2013 after all necessary documentation
had been prepared by the sell side advisor.
Tamweel does not qualify as discontinued operation as it is neither a separate major line of business nor a geographical area of
operations.

instruments entered into for cash flow hedges. The cumulative gain or loss arising on changes in fair value of the hedging instruments that are
recognised and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve will be reclassified to profit or loss only when the hedged
transaction affects the profit or loss, or included as a basis adjustment to the non-financial hedged item, consistent with the relevant

Exchange differences relating to the translation of the results and net assets of the Group's foreign operations from their functional
currencies to the Group's presentation currency (CHF) are recognized directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the
foreign currency translation reserve. Exchange differences previously accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve in respect of
translating the results and net assets of foreign operations are reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the foreign operation.
In 2013 the Swiss Franc strengthened against both the USD and Egyptian Pound by 2% and 11% respectively. This led to foreign exchange
losses for the period of CHF 36.4 million.

(120,924,463)
The reserve from common control transactions mainly relates to the restructuring of the group and the set up of a new holding company
during May 2008. This new structure became effective by way of a share exchange between the shareholders of the initial holding company
(OHD) and the new holding company (ODH). Following this acquisition through exchange of equity instruments, ODH became the parent of
OHD with an ownership stake of 98.05%, later increased to 98.16% at 31 December 2008.
Whereas the new holding company (ODH) is ultimately owned and controlled by the same major shareholders, management decided that
this Group reorganisation was for the purpose of capital restructuring and it has been accounted for as a continuation of the financial
statements of the initial holding Group (OHD) in the 2008 consolidated financial statements
Management concluded that the above Group restructure is classified as a transaction under common control since the combining entities
are ultimately controlled by the same parties both before and after the combination and that control is not transitory.
However, since IFRS 3 Business Combinations excludes from its scope business combinations involving entities or businesses un der common
control (common control transactions), IAS 8 requires management to develop and apply an accounting policy that results in info rmation that
is relevant and reliable.
Management used its judgment in developing and applying an accounting policy for common control transactions arising from the Group’s
capital restructuring as follows:
Recognition of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the initial holding Group (OHD) at their previous carrying amounts;
Recognition of the difference between purchase consideration and the previous carrying amount of net assets acquired as an adjustment
to equity;
Transaction costs, which were incurred in relation to the issuance of ODH shares, have been recognised as a reduction to the reserve
from common control transaction. Amount included in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.
In 2012 the movement in this reserve was due to the acquisition of the additional 8.8% stake in Royal for Investment.

On 3 December 2010, the Parent Company borrowed 1,286,353 ODH shares from Mr. Samih Sawiris free of charge under a securities
lending agreement. These shares were intended to be used for the tender offer regarding the buy-out of the remaining shareholders of
Orascom Hotels & Development SAE (OHD), a company listed at the EGX. The borrowed ODH shares were not accounted for as treasury
shares by the Group, as Mr. Samih Sawiris retained the significant rights, such as dividend and voting rights, during the borrowing period as
per contractual provisions. Under the above mentioned securities lending agreement the Parent Company has returned 330 000 of the
borrowed ODH shares to Mr. Samih Sawiris on 28 July 2011 by way of capital increase, which is further explained in note 44. All of the
remaining 956,324 shares, which were not used during the above mentioned tender offer, were returned to Mr. Samih Sawiris by 31
December 2013. The difference between the balance, which was reported in equity as “equity swap settlement”, measured at the fair value of
the share at the end of the tender offer, and the fair value amount of the capital increase was recognised as ”general reserve”.

The consolidated statement of changes in equity includes a balance of CHF (10.2) million outstanding at 31 December 2013 which has
originally arisen from the Group’s sale of the six percent stake in Garranah companies to the Garranah family during 2010. The unsettled
consideration at 31 December 2012 amounted to CHF 10.6 million of which CHF 10.2 million were reported as a negative component in
equity. The remaining balance arising from such sale of CHF 0.4 million was classified as trade and other receivables. On 12 November 2013,
the Garranah family has settled part of the outstanding consideration by transferring 124,441 ODH shares. This led to a corresponding
transfer of CHF 8.1 million from this reserve to treasury shares (note 30.2). The residual amount as at 31 December 2013 is due to EDRs
which are held in an escrow account.

During 2012 and 2013 no dividends had been paid. In respect of the current year, the Board of Directors does not propose a dividend or a
capital reduction to the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
32 NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS
In July 2013 current borrowings due to Arab African International Bank of CHF 31.7 million were paid back. The repayments were
financed by selling the investment in NCHR (note 22) and by additional financing from Mr. Samih Sawiris (CHF 10.9 million) as part of his
commitment to finance the Group.
(iii) As part of the capital increases in ASA the existing loans between the Group and Mr. Samih Sawiris of CHF 110 million were fully offset
and the indebtedness of the Group was therefore reduced (for further details refer to note 39).In order to finance working capital
requirements, the Group, as part of its credit arrangements with the Chairman, since then has withdrawn an additional CHF 31.8 million
(note 37).
(iv) In April 2013 El-Gouna Electric Company, an Egyptian subsidiary of ODH, entered into a sale and leaseback agreement with Nile
Finance Company by selling their power plant with a carrying value of EGP 45.8 million (CHF 6.2 million) to the finance company for a
total value of EGP 40 million (CHF 5.4 million) and leasing it back for a period of 80 months for a total lease value of EGP 66.3 million
(CHF 8.9 million). At the end of the lease period El-Gouna Electric Company has the right to acquire the leases power plant for a residual
value of EGP 1,000 (CHF 128). Based on the agreement the lease obligation is recognized at the present value of the minimum lease
payments of CHF 5.4 million whereas the asset is reclassified to assets held under finance lease within property, plant and equipment at its
carrying amount of CHF 6.2 million (refer to note 16).

Due to the aforementioned factors and the resulting low cash flow, which fell short of meeting financial obligations, the Group has exerted a
great deal of effort to negotiate with its banks a rescheduling scheme, which aims to reschedule all 2013 due instalments and their
accompanying interest expense. When negotiations started during October 2012, the portion of long term debts (due during 2013) was CHF
58.4 million (hotels & real estate segments representing CHF 50.6 million) while the related interest expense was CHF 30.9 million (hotels
& real estate segments representing CHF 22.4 million).
Due to the long track record the Group has had with its banks and due to the current economic conditions, the Group has succeeded in
negotiating rescheduling its due instalments amounting to CHF 42.3 million. The residual amounts, which were due in 2013, were paid
accordingly in 2013.
It is worth highlighting that to accomplish this rescheduling scheme, the Group was involved in negotiations, which have led to the successful
receipt of formal commitment letters from the relevant banks, in addition to signing the ALA (Amended Loan Agreement) with the new
runoffs which are expected to relieve the burden of the current financial obligations.
Non-current
2012
In light of the political turmoil that has ensued in Egypt post the revolution; the Egyptian economy has been at a virtual standstill throughout
2013 up to date. The tourism sector, the main pillar industry, has been adversely affected, which has led to a decrease in the number of
incoming tourists evidenced by a decline in occupancy rates. Our subsidiary in Egypt, being the main pillar of the Group, has been greatly
affected by the surrounding circumstances and this has had a direct adverse influence, reflected in the declining profitability and cash flow of
the Group.
279,376,296
33.1 Summary of borrowing arrangements
The weighted average contractual effective interest rate for all credit facilities and loans are 7.46% (2012: 7.64%). It is calculated by dividing
the forecasted contractual interest expense due next year by the total outstanding credit facilities and bank loans at the end of the current
reporting period. For a breakdown of debts bearing variable and fixed interest see note 42.10.1.
(i) Credit facilities used by the group are revolving facilities used to finance working capital requirements and they are available in multiple
currencies. The average interest rate for the credit facilities for year 2013 is 8.83% (2012: 8.76%).
(ii) Bank loans are current and non-current loans and have in general variable interest rates including a mark up. Property, plant and
equipment with a carrying amount of CHF 86.7 million (2012: CHF 70.3 million) and receivables with a carrying amount of CHF 12.4
million (2012: CHF 18.7 million) have been pledged to secure borrowings (see notes 16 and 21). The decrease was partly set-off by a new
non-current bank loan for a subsidiary in UAE of CHF 15.3 million.
All such actions undertaken by the Group led to steadily waiving covenants testing by the banks, which in turn enabled the Group to be in
compliance with the financial covenants of the loans and ensured that no breach takes place.
As at 31 December 2013 the Group has obtained financial covenant waiver from all of its banks evidencing no breach of financial covenants.

Put option and call option agreement - CMAR
(i) Pursuant to the Put option and Call option Agreement dated April 2006 between Orascom Holding for Hotels Company (IHH),
European Investment Bank (EIB), and Société de Promotion ET De Participation pour la Cooperation Economique (PROPARCO). IHH
(a subsidiary) unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to purchase all or part of EIB and PROPARCO shares in Club Méditerranée
Albion Resort Ltd. (CMAR) during the put period ending 31 March 2016 if EIB and PROPARCO exercise their rights.
In addition, IHH had a right to buy all or part of the shares of EIB and PROPARCO during the call period ending 31 March 2016. A
financial asset “right to buy” and a corresponding financial liability were initially recognised at fair value amounting to CHF 13 million
which is the present value of the amount to be redeemed to the other shareholders if they were to exercise the option on thelast day of the
option period (future value at 2016: CHF 28 million). The difference between the present value and final redemption amount is interest
expense that is recognized in profit or loss over the life of the financial liability using an effective interest rate of 6.75%. This financial
liability was subsequently measured at amortised cost in each subsequent period (details of accounting policy are disclosed in note 3.21 to
the financial statements). The interest expense recognised in the year amounted to CHF 1,125,375 (2012: CHF 1,019,092) (note 11).
Starting 1 January 2007, CMAR has been deemed to be controlled due to the potential voting rights arising from the call option the
Group has over 42.5% of EIB’s and PROPARCO’s interests in CMAR, in addition to the existing voting rights of 12.5%. Therefore,
CMAR was regarded as a subsidiary and consolidated for the first time in 2007 based on the Group’s present ownership interest in
CMAR of 12.5% with the financial asset derecognised.
On 5 December 2012, EIB served to IHH a letter notifying EIB’s intention to exercise the Put Option. Subsequently, on 15 January 2013,
IHH served to PROPARCO a letter notifying IHH’s intention to exercise the Call Option.
As at 31 December 2013 only a letter notifying EIB’s intention to exercise the put option has been received. However, the shares have not
yet been paid. As the Put Option agreement states that the ownership benefits and the voting rights of the put shares are transferable to
IHH only upon payment of the put price, the Group continues to consolidate CMAR with an ownership interest of 12.5%.
As it is the Group’s intention to sell its investment in CMAR to a third party within the next few months, it has been reclassified as disposal
group held for sale in the first quarter of 2013 (refer to note 28 for further details).

(i) Provision for infrastructure completion relates to committed cash outflows for the development of the necessary infrastructure to make
the project area that is usually located in remote regions, habitable and attractive. Such provisions are recorded for land and real estate
sales on the date on which all the criteria for revenue recognition are met, in case that the cash outflows for related infrastructure costs
have not yet been incurred and take place with the upcoming twelve months.
(ii) Provision for legal cases consists of expected cash outflows for the settlement of pending litigations and relates amongst others to the
Falcon case which is described in note 22.
Further, there are ongoing discussions between the Government of Egypt and one of ODH’s subsidiaries in order to enable this subsidiary
to resume its budget housing activities on land that is currently subject to a dispute. At the current stage, the discussions suggest that the
Government would allow the Group’s subsidiary to develop the land within 10 years from the date of the settlement agreement in
consideration for the payment of the full land price immediately which amounts to CHF 9.4 million (equivalent of EGP 70 million. The
Government is also asking for an additional payment in consideration for the extra time given to the Group’s subsidiary to develop the
land. The current estimate of this additional payment is CHF 6.8 million (equivalent of EGP 50 million), which has been provided for in
2013. Refer to note 48 for further information on the legal case.
(iii) Provision for government fees relates to cash outflows for fees due on the sale of land and / or any profit thereon which were recorded
during the current year. Such provision is calculated and recorded using the locally enacted fee structures. Management expects the
related cash outflow to take place within the upcoming twelve months.
(iv) Provision for employee benefits partly relates to compulsory termination payments to foreign employees in Oman. The provision is based
on their actual salaries. As the work permits for these employees are reconsidered by the Government on annual basis, the related cash
outflows are likely to take place within the upcoming twelve months. In 2013 the main increase is due to end of service benefits which will
have to be paid in 2014 as a result of the cost saving programme of the Group.
(v) This provision mainly includes charges, services and consultancy fees for the Group's current year's operations which have not yet been
finally negotiated as well as provisions in relation to various assets of the Group. In addition it covers the Group’s exposures to tax risks.
Management expects the related cash outflows to take place within the upcoming twelve months.
Management annually reviews and adjusts these provisions based on the latest developments, discussions and agreements with the involved
parties.

In the first three months of 2013 it has been agreed to sell the “Sole”-Project in Romania (“Sole/OBHI”), which mainly consists of plots of land,
to Mr. Samih Sawiris. Therefore it was reclassified as disposal group. As the actual sales price of CHF 2.9 million, which is supported by a
valuation report of an independent valuer, was lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss of CHF 2.3 million was recognized in other
gains and losses when the investment was reclassified as disposal group (note 10). In October 2013, the sale and purchase agreement was
signed. Sole/OBHI does not qualify as discontinued operation as it is neither a separate major line of business nor a geographical area of

39 DEEMED LOSS OF CONTROL OF SUBSIDIARY
39.1 Description of transactions
39.1.1 Deemed loss of control of ASA and its subsidiaries
On 26 March 2013, the Board of Directors of ODH and Mr. Samih Sawiris agreed to improve the capitalization of its Swiss subsidiary
Andermatt Swiss Alps (ASA).
On 25 June 2013, as a result of the agreement mentioned above, the share capital of ASA was increased through the following steps:
CHF 71.262 million (71,262 shares at nominal value CHF 1,000) through debt equity swap of the loans due to ODH
CHF 110.441 million (110,441 shares at nominal value of CHF 1,000) through debt equity swap of the loans due to Mr. Samih Sawiris
CHF 7.444 million (7,444 shares at nominal value of CHF 1,000) as cash contribution from Mr. Samih Sawiris
F-68
2013 Annual Report
As a consequence of the transaction existing loans between the Group and Mr. Samih Sawiris were fully offset and the indebtedness of the
Group was therefore reduced. The transaction has improved the debt-to-equity ratio of the Group and will reduce interest expense in the
future. Furthermore, Mr. Samih Sawiris will invest at least CHF 150 million of new equity or subordinated loans into ASA in order to secure
funding of the resort Andermatt until 2017. Since the transaction Mr. Samih Sawiris has already injected another CHF 46 million of cash into
ASA.
As a result of the various capital increases, Mr. Samih Sawiris has become the new majority shareholder of ASA with a 51% share by
converting his loans to the Group into ASA equity, and acts as new Executive Chairman of ASA. The Group has lost control over ASA during
this transaction. As at 30 June 2013 the Group has a remaining share of interest of 49% in ASA. Therefore the investment was
deconsolidated in June 2013 and is now classified as an investment in associates (for further details refer to note 20).
As ASA and its subsidiaries represent the entire Swiss operations of the Group, which is considered a major geographical area of operations
of the Group, the sold operations are recognized as discontinued operations and are presented accordingly. For further details refer to note
14.
In September and November 2012, Andermatt-Sedrun Sports AG (“ASS”), a subsidiary of ODH, has acquired two companies operating
skiing areas. The acquisitions were financed through capital increases in ASS. As Andermatt Swiss Alps AG (“ASA”), a former subsidiary of
ODH and the sole shareholder in ASS before the capital increases, did not fully participate in all capital increases, ASA has lost control over
ASS during this transaction. As at 31 December 2012 the Group had a remaining share of interest of 40.26% in ASS, therefore the
investment was classified as an investment in associates. In 2013, ODH first regained control over ASS however ASS was subsequently
derecognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Group as a result of the deconsolidation of ASA (for further details refer to note
20).

Swiss pension plans need to be administered by a separate pension fund that is legally separated from the entity. The law prescribes certain
minimum benefits.
The pension plans of the employees of the Swiss entities are carried out by collective funds with Allianz Suisse LebensversicherungsGesellschaft. Under the pension plans, the employees are entitled to retirement benefits and risk insurance for death and disability. The
boards of the various pension funds are composed of an equal number of representatives from both employers and employees.
Due to the requirements of IAS 19 the above mentioned pension plans are classified as defined benefit plans. The pension plans are described
in detail in the corresponding statues and regulations. The contributions of employers and employees in general are defined in percentages of
the insured salary. The retirement pension is calculated based on the old-age credit balance on retirement multiplied by the fixed conversion
rate. The employee has the option to withdraw the capital at once. The death and disability pensions are defined as percentage of the insured
salary. The assets are invested directly with the corresponding pension funds.
The pension funds can change their financing system (contributions and future payments) at any time. Also, when there is a deficit which
cannot be eliminated through other measures, the pension funds can oblige the entity to pay a restructuring contribution. For the pension
F-70
funds of the Group such a deficit currently cannot occur as the plans are fully reinsured. However, the pension funds could cancel the
contracts and the entities of the Group would have to join another pension fund.
In the current and comparative period no plan amendments, curtailments or settlements occurred. However, along with the deemed loss of
control of subsidiaries (for further details refer to note 39) the respective defined benefit obligations have been derecognised.
Movements in the present value of the plan assets in the current period were as follows:

Organizational and process measures have been designed to identify and mitigate risks throughout the Group at an early stage. The
responsibility for risk assessment and management is primarily allocated to the segments and entities. However, Group Finance has
implemented monitoring and consolidating measures. The Group’s entities report to the Group Finance on their current operations and
financial situation regularly. Various reports and analysis have been implemented to allow the Group to monitor the operations closely and
immediately identify risks and initiate mitigating actions. In addition, the Group Finance has established during 2008 a new function for risk
assessment and internal control. A risk matrix has been created that was populated by the most significant entities of the Group. The Group
has centralized certain functions (e.g. treasury, asset management, information technology and human resources) to be able to identify and
control risks more closely. The Group initiated a plan to centralize the legal and internal audit functions in order to mitigate the risks in an
effective and efficient way.
Group Finance assesses and consolidates all information from the entities and shares and discusses it with the Group Management on a
regular basis. A more formal reporting on risks over financial reporting was made prior to year-end to the Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors in turn has performed a risk assessment covering longer-term operational and strategic risks to the Group. The conclusions of such
risk assessments have also been considered by Group Finance. As the Group CFO is consistently and closely involved in the risk assessment
process and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements it is ensured that all conclusions from the Group-wide risk assessment
are adequately considered in the consolidated financial statements.
2013 Annual Report
42 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
42.4 Financial risk management objectives
42.1 Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to
stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged since 2010.
The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt (borrowings, as detailed in note33, offset by cash and bank balances) and equity of the
Group (comprising issued capital, share premium, reserves, retained earnings and non-controlling interests as detailed in notes 29 to 32).
The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
According to the Group’s internal policies and procedures, the Executive Management reviews the capital structure on a regular basis. As
part of this review, the committee considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The Group has a target
gearing ratio of 40% to 45% determined as the proportion of net debt to equity.
The gearing ratio at 31 December 2013 of 48.49% (see below) decreased significantly mainly due to the deemed loss of control of ASA (see
note 39 for further details) however was still outside the target recommended by the committee because the decrease was partially offset by
the losses for the period.
The gearing ratio at the end of the reporting period was as follows:

In the course of its business, the Group is exposed to a number of financial risks. This note presents the Group’s objectives, policies and
processes for managing its financial risk and capital.
The Group’s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial
markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which analyse
exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk),
credit risk and liquidity risk. Other price risk includes equity price risk, settlement risk and commodity price risk.
It is, and has been throughout 2013 and 2012, the Group’s policy not to use derivatives without an underlying operational transaction or for
trading (i.e. speculative) purposes.
The Group seeks to minimise the effects of these risks mainly through operational and finance activities and, on occasional basis, using
derivative financial instruments to hedge these risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Group’s internal policies and
procedures approved by the Board of Directors, which provide written principles on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the
use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity. The Group does not enter into or
trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
The Corporate Treasury function reports monthly to the Executive Management. The Group Treasury Director carries out risk management
under the Group’s guidelines.
42.5 Market risk
The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see 42.6 below) and interest
rates (see 42.7 below).
Driven by the need, the Group’s policy is to enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency
risk and interest rate risk, including:
forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk arising on sales in foreign currency to the tourism / real estate
industry;
interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates
42.6 Foreign currency risk management
The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Hence, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The
currencies, in which these transactions primarily are denominated, are US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR) and Egyptian Pound (EGP). Exchange
rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilising forward foreign exchange contracts.
The Group’s main foreign exchange risk arises from sales in foreign currency to the tourism / real estate industry, which generates a net
foreign currency surplus for the Group. The Group has strong inflows in foreign currency, mainly US Dollar, Euro, Oman Rial and Egyptian
Pound.
Out of the total receivables on hand at the end of the reporting period, receivables in USD have accounted for 35% (2012: 32%), in EUR for
7% (2012: 7%),in EGP for 33% (2012: 46%), in OMR 25% (2012: 0%) and in CHF for 0% (2012: 13%) respectively.
To mitigate the above risk exposures, where possible, the Group borrows in matching currencies to create a natural hedge. The following
table shows the carrying amounts of borrowings, at the end of the reporting period, in the major currencies in which they are issued.

Residual foreign exchange exposure is managed by hedging through entering into foreign currency forward contracts.
As discussed above, the Group is mainly exposed to the US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR) and Egyptian Pound (EGP) arising from sales in these
currencies to the tourism / real estate industry.
The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in CHF against the relevant foreign currencies. The (5%) is
the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management and represents management’s assessment of the
reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated
monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates.
The sensitivity analysis includes outstanding borrowings, impact of the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as cash
flow hedges and receivables in foreign currencies and, where appropriate, loans to foreign operations within the Group where the
denomination of the loan is in a currency other than the functional currency of the lender or the borrower.
A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where the CHF strengths 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5%
weakening of the CHF against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on the profit or equity, and the balances below
would be negative.

The interest rate swap settles on a half-yearly basis. The floating rate on the interest rate swaps is based on LIBOR for 6 months. The Group
settles the difference between the fixed and floating interest rate on a net basis.
42.7.1 Interest rate sensitivity analysis

Management has assessed that the cash flow hedge is 100% effective and therefore the entire change in fair value of the interest rate swap is
recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (note 30.3).
30-Jun-14
Currency risk has also recently developed due to the Group’s investments in different markets such as those in Egypt, UAE, Oman, Jordan,
Morocco, Switzerland and the UK. Again, the Group borrows in the local currency of the investment and uses the above mentioned
strategies to mitigate residual currency risk.

The Group's sensitivity to foreign currency has changed in accordance with the changes in EGP, USD and AED borrowings.
Forward foreign exchange contracts
It is the policy of the Group to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to cover specific foreign currency receipts within 25% to 30%
of the exposure generated. At 31 December 2013, the Group has no outstanding forward foreign currency exchange contracts. During the
Group
into any forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge part of the Group’s
the current year
receivables denominated in EUR and USD.
During 2013, no ineffectiveness has been recognised in profit or loss arising from the Group’s hedging activities.
42.7 Interest rate risk management
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Group borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is
managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings, and by the use of interest rate swap
contracts. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite, ensuring the most costeffective hedging strategies are applied. The Group's exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the
liquidity risk management section of this note.
At 31 December 2013, the Group held one interest rate swap contract (IRS) under which the Group agrees to exchange the difference
between fixed and floating rate interest amounts calculated on the agreed notional principal amount. The notional amount of the IRS contract
is based on the outstanding amount of one of the long-term borrowings. The group was engaged in this contract on September 2008 and it
will expire on June 2014.
As the interest rate swap exchanges floating rate interest amounts for fixed rate interest amounts it is designated as a cash flow hedge in order
to reduce the Group’s cash flow exposure resulting from variable interest rates on borrowings. The interest rate swap and the interest
payments on the borrowing occur simultaneously and the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified in profit or loss over the period that the
floating rate interest payments on debt affect profit or loss.
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and non-derivative
instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding
at the end of reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A ‘100 basis point’ (1%) increase or decrease is used when reporting
interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in
interest rates.
If interest rates had been 100 basis points higher / lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s profit for the year ended 31
December 2013 would decrease / increase by CHF 2.1 million (2012: decrease / increase by CHF 2.5 million). This is mainly attributable to
the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.
42.8 Other price risks
The Group is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments. Equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading
purposes. The Group does not actively trade these investments.
42.9 Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group
credit risk arises from transactions with counterparties, mainly individual customers and corporations. The Group has adopted a policy of only
dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial
loss from defaults.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is, to a great extent, influenced by the individual characteristics of each customer. Risk control assesses
the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience, other publicly available financial information, its
own trading records and other factors, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group’s
exposure is continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.
Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across various industries and geographical areas. The Group does not have
any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any Group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The Group
defines counterparties as having similar characteristics if they are related entities. The credit risk on sales of real estate is limited because the
Group controls this risk through the property itself by registering the unit in the name of the customer only after receiving the entire amount
due from the customer.
Counterparty risk is also minimized by ensuring that 80% of derivative financial instruments, money market investments and cur rent account
deposits are placed with financial institutions whose credit standings are above Aa1 and 20% above BB+.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, which is net of impairment losses, represents the Group’s
maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained.
42.10 Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk
management framework for the management of the Group’s short-, medium- and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously
monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Regarding management’s plans
to manage liquidity shortages and related uncertainty please refer to note 27.1.
As of 31 December 2013, total un-drawn facilities, that the Group has at its disposal in order to further reduce liquidity risk, are CHF 13.0
million (31 December 2012: CHF 23.7 million).
Further, please refer to note 27.1 regarding the disclosures on management’s plans to manage liquidity shortages and related uncertainties.

The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment
periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the
Group can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest cash flow s are floating rate,
the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of the reporting period. The contractual maturity is based on the
earliest date on which the Group may be required to pay.

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
The fair values of financial assets with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to
quoted market prices (includes unlisted and listed equity investments classified as at FVTPL and FVTOCI respectively).
The Group receives the fair values of foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps from the counterparty banks. Foreign
currency forward contracts are usually measured using quoted forward exchange rates and yield curves derived from quoted interest
rates matching maturities of the contracts. Interest rate swaps are usually measured at the present value of future cash flows estimated
and discounted based on the applicable yield curves derived from quoted interest rates.
The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding those described above) are determined in accordance with
generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis. Specifically, significant assumptions used in determining the
fair value of the following financial assets and liabilities are set out below.

an average six year tenor and adding a credit margin that reflects the secured nature of the receivables. As at 31 December 2013 no such
receivables exist anymore as they were reclassified as part of a disposal group (note 28).

Operating leases relate to the investment property owned by the Group with lease terms of between 1 and 4 years for premises in El Gouna
(Egypt) and 25 years for the resort in Mauritius (CMAR classified as disposal group). These lease contracts do not include a lease extension
option and are subject to renegotiation at the end of the lease term. The lessee does not have an option to purchase the property at the expiry
of the lease period.
Rental income earned by the Group from its investment properties and direct operating expenses arising on the investment properties for the
year are set out in note 17.
46.2.2 Non-cancellable operating lease receivables
Part of the amount due from El Gouna Football Club was settled by Mr. Samih Sawiris, which is the main reason for the decrease in related
party receivables. The residual balance will be settled over the next four years as a settlement of the dues on El Gouna Football Club to OHD
resultant from the sponsorship agreement.
CHF
The decrease in payables is mainly due to the amount due to Besix Group which was deconsolidated due to the deemed loss of control of ASA
and its subsidiaries (note 39). The decrease was partially off-set by an increase in payables in connection with Falcon due to net operating
profits taken over from a joint project.

In Morocco, the DA does not contemplate the concept of MBOs. However it sets out a timeline for the performance of the essential elements
of a development plan. These essential elements have no fixed dates but are rather governed by interconnected milestones that change the
date automatically on the occurrence of an agreed milestone.
47.1 Minimum Building Obligations
In 2010 the project company obtained an exception entitling it to finalize three hotels in 2013 and the remaining two in 2015. Since then the
project company has created the organisational structures for the creation of three hotels and the related infrastructure. However, further
process by the project companies was delayed by various factors outside the control of the project companies and they therefore have solid
grounds for requesting further extensions. Especially since the DA states that in the event the delay is for reasons outside of the control of the
project company, this would be taken into consideration when assessing whether the project company has fulfilled its obligations or not. In
furtherance and in compliance with the obligations to which the project company is committed to, a new hotel holding structure has been
proposed, the main goal of which is the creation of the 3 Hotels and the associated infrastructure, which is part of phase 1. The scope of
investment for the aforementioned hotel holding structure is approximately CHF 160 million out of which the Group is expected to inject
approximately CHF 22million of cash equity over the next 3 years. The rest of the financing package is currently being finalized and
preliminary term-sheets from internationally renowned development banks, local financial institutions and other shareholders is currently
under review.
Beside the legally binding commitment for expenditure mentioned above the following should be considered:
Risk assessment of contingent liability
One part of the Group’s business is to acquire land for the development of tourism projects. Out of these business opportunities often no
legally binding commitments incur however the Group has unbinding business opportunity commitments in relation to their projects. In
particular the Group has minimum building obligations (“MBOs”) for the next five years which are included in their development agreements
(“DAs”) with the relevant governments in Oman, Morocco and Montenegro. While the potential near term financial impact is insignificant for
Montenegro as deadlines for such obligations are still several years away, the contingent liabilities in relation to the MBOs in Oman and
Morocco need further consideration and are assessed by management of the Group as follows:
Management has analysed the various MBOs and is comfortable with the current status of the MBOs and the minimum investment
obligations. Albeit that certain delays have or may potentially occur, all such delays were well founded and are premised on le gal grounds that
would protect the Group from any exposure. The Group has exerted a great deal of negotiations in all destinations to ensure that any delays
are communicated to local authorities and thereby working alongside the government in rescheduling and extending the completion dates.
Additionally, the Group has worked on securing finance schemes to accommodate the newly developed restructuring of the investment
obligations, or in cases were completion dates are at risk, expending the necessary amounts to comply with the contractual obligations.
(i) As per the property management agreement between Eco-Bos and Imerys (shareholder in Eco-Bos) , Eco-Bos has the right but not the
obligation (American call option maturing in 2030) to purchase part or all of 6.6 million square meters (divided on 7 independent plots),
which is currently owned by Imerys Mineral Limited. An annual option premium is paid to retain the rights and the purchase price is
calculated based on an agreed dynamic pricing formula. The trigger event of the option(s) is at the full discretion of Eco-Bos and shall only
be exercised when building permits are attained. Currently Eco-Bos is in negotiations with the local authorities and other investors and is
taking its time to optimize on the best alternatives for the development.
Oman
According to the DAs for Salalah and Sifah, the project companies, which are subsidiaries of the Group, shall use their best efforts to
substantially complete a defined amount of Hotels and Golf Courses within an indicative timeline. Based on this indicative timeline, the
project companies have been granted an extension of time for the substantial completion (which is defined as the material elements of the
specific MBOs) of the MBOs that elapses on 1 January 2015. In Salalah, the project company shall develop three or four hotels, which shall be
fixed at a total of 700 keys in addition to an 18-holes golf course. To date, the project company has completed 2 hotels with a total number of
481 keys and preparatory works for the golf course have also been finalized. In Sifah, the project company shall complete a total of 500 keys
in addition to an 18-holes golf course. To date, the project company has completed 1 hotel with 55 keys, in addition to 25 apartments, which
shall be annexed to the aforementioned hotel. The project company has further assigned the rights and obligations of completing two
additional hotels to Jebel Resort Development Company (an external developer). The first hotel is 180 keys and the second is still under study,
as the drawings have not been completed.
Based on the right to request an extension of the completion date, which is included in the DAs, the Group has requested an extension for the
time of completion of the residual MBOs until 2018. The completion timelines dictated by the DAs are subject to two general standards which
must be taken into consideration wherever there is a delay in completion. As per the DA, the project companies must perform the MBOs on
or before the completion date using (i) their Best Efforts, and (ii) in applying Best International Practices. These two standards are in the favour
of the project companies, specifically when taking into account the exigent economic and financial environment during which the project
companies had to comply with the completion dates. The difficulty in completion is supported by conclusive evidence that financial institutions
in Oman have refrained from providing any financing for development of tourism projects for a period of over two years as of the Arab Spring.
Notwithstanding such difficulties in financing, the project companies have progressed extensively in their development, given the
circumstances. The developments that have been finalized by the project companies to date have not been matched by any other developer in
Oman. This provides irrefutable evidence that even if a delay occurs, the project companies would not be in breach of the DAs, since they will
have satisfied the threshold dictated by the DAs. Based on the foregoing, the request to extend the MBO completion date to 2018 is hence
reasonable.
To avoid any potential risk, the business plan of the Group includes two scenarios that would ensure that the project in Oman is fully covered
from a financial perspective that would ensure compliance to the MBO completion date.
To avoid any potential risk, the business plan of the Group includes different scenarios that would ensure that the projects in Oman are fully
covered from a financial perspective which would ensure compliance to the MBO completion. The different scenarios are sensitized for
timing and specifications of the hotel properties (i.e. star level) but assure that total room keys are achieved. Based on the above, and due to
ongoing negotiations, management is unable to accurately assess the exact total investment value at this stage but projects a total investment
range between CHF 150 million and CHF 300 million over the next few years (until 2017). The aforementioned investments by the project
48 LITIGATION
Falcon
The financial statements of Falcon Company for Hotels (“Falcon”) were incorporated into ODH’s consolidated financial statements at 31
December 2008 in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, as a result of the business combination previously
effected through one of ODH’s subsidiaries whereby control had existed over Falcon at that time.
Subsequent to the first time consolidation, but prior to the completion of the transfer of the legal title on the Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX),
a dispute over the Falcon securities purchase agreement had arisen. At the beginning of October 2009, the Group ceased consolidating
Falcon due to changes in Falcon’s management resulting in a loss of control for the Group which was one of the reasons of the dispute.
Several arbitration and litigation proceedings involving Falcon, the Group and third parties have been and are still pending. However, during
2012 some positive progress has been achieved in one of the major arbitration proceedings involving Falcon’s original owners and a third
party having a direct impact on the whole dispute. This positive progress improves chances for ultimate recovery of the Group’s investments.
Further in July 2013, an award was issued in favour of one of ODH’s subsidiaries establishing ODH’s subsidiary’ right for compensation for the
breaches made by Falcon and its owners. The exact amount of the compensation is subject to another set of arbitration proceedings. This
particularly strengthens the position of the Group in recovering all its losses suffered as a result of this dispute.

2013 Annual Report
Withdrawals of land by the government
Land withdrawal of 6th of October in Egypt
2000 Acres
With reference to the purchased land in Sixth of October city (2000 acres) in Egypt, the Urban Communities Authority related to the
Ministry of Housing issued its resolution on 11 December 2011 to grant one of the subsidiaries of ODH an area of 1,000 acres rather than
2,000 acres on the condition of completing the construction works on this area not later than 30 September 2013.
Since it is challenging for the subsidiary to fulfil the construction obligation during that period of time and as it is contrary to the terms of the
initial contract with the Authority, the Group’s entity challenged this decision and filed an administrative complaint against it. This has resulted
in further complications; as the Urban Communities Authority has then decided to withdraw the allocation of another 380 acres, accordingly
the Group’s entity now has just 620 acres. The Group’s subsidiary further challenged this decision and is in the process of going through
several administrative and judicial channels to overturn. No administrative resolution or decision has been issued as of the date of this report.
It is expected that this process will be lengthy. Nevertheless, some progress has been made with the Interim Government and there seems to
be a possibility of reaching a settlement of this matter. Currently there are discussions with the Ministry of Housing that involves also the
Ministry of Investment in order to enable OHC to redeem the entire land against the payment of the full price in advance. OHC is also
attempting to get 10 years to develop the whole remaining land. Discussions on this particular piece of land are progressing but with no results
yet.
Land withdrawal at Al Fayoum Project:
In addition, Fayoum Governorate, Egypt, issued a resolution on 11 June 2011 to terminate the contract signed 9 June 2007 for the purchase of
a piece of land in Fayoum Governorate, Egypt, taking into consideration that the Group started major construction work on that land worth
EGP 11 million (equals CHF 1.7 million). The subsidiary of ODH requested the cancellation of this decision. As a result, the Conciliation
Commission within the Governorate of Fayoum issued a resolution on 3 October 2011 recommending the cancellation of the termination
decision issued by the Fayoum Governorate. On the basis of this decision, the subsidiary has raised a law suit to the Egyptian judiciary to
cancel the decision or, alternatively, to be receiving compensation from the government equivalent to the buildings constructed on the land
repossessed by the Governorate. No judgement or decision has been issued as of the date of this report.
Land withdrawal at Royal Azur
In January 2012, Royal Azur for Tourism and Real Estate Development (“Royal”) agreed, as part of an overall settlement with the Tourism
Development Authority (“TDA”), to voluntarily relinquish its legal claims and return the land. As part of the settlement, Royal would take the
land subject of dispute on a leasing basis together with the buildings until an agreement is reached for the repurchase of the land by Royal. This
undoubtedly allows Royal the time to rethink the entire purchasing scheme and avoids a lengthy litigation with the TDA.
49 OTHER SIGNIFICANT EVENTS THAT OCCURRED DURING THE
REPORTING PERIOD
Political situation in Egypt
Egypt is the Group’s largest operating destination and its main source of operating revenues. Egypt remains locked in a prolonged process of
political transition since January 2011, which included acts of civil unrest and a series of demonstrations. This has led many European countries
to issue several travel warnings and travel bans on Egypt. This ongoing political uncertainty has negatively impacted most of the Egyptian
economic sectors and particularly the tourism sector (The Group’s key operating sector in Egypt). Adding to that the limited economic
growth, currency devaluation and increased inflation have all affected the demand on the second home market (Affecting the Group real
estate sales).
However, the current efforts exerted by the rolling governing authorities to restore economic growth, along with the drafting of the new
constitution and its acceptance in addition to the expected parliamentary and presidential elections in early 2014, the country has been
signalising growing confidence in its ability to impose security after the unrest. Egypt has succeeded in convincing many countries to ease the
travel bans for Egypt.
Additionally, Egypt will remain a hub for foreign investments, whereas the economic fundamentals are still intact to a large extent; its
attractive location at a crossroad between Europe, the Middle East and Africa as well as the fact that Egypt remains one of the Arab world’s
most diversified economies.
Should the latter positive events materialize, the Group Management believes that the Group is fundamentally well positioned, with a solid
portfolio of hotels and real estate infrastructure as well as cost savings and monetization programs on track, to quickly recover from this
downturn and bounce back to earlier positive operational levels.

8 INVESTMENTS
1 GENERAL
Investments are valued at acquisition cost less adjustments for impairment, if any. On a regular basis the Company’s managem ent reviews the
recoverable value of the Company’s investments in the various destinations, and accordingly reduce the carrying value by impairment losses
if any.
The purpose of the Company is the direct or indirect acquisition, durable management and disposal of participations in domestic or foreign
enterprises, in particular in the field of real estate, tourism, hotels, construction, resort management, financing of real estate and related
industries as well as the provision of related services.
2 PLEDGED ASSETS TO SECURE OWN OBLIGATIONS
Andermatt Swiss Alps AG (ASA) has obligations towards the canton of Uri and the municipality of Andermatt. ASA is responsible for the
construction of certain parts of the tourism resort Andermatt. Within certain periods of time or should the construction work be stopped for
whatever reason, ASA has the obligation to rebuild the relevant plots of land to the original state. As at 31 December 2013, 36,985 ASA
shares owned by the Company (2012; 36,985) with a net book value of CHF 957 each, amounting to a total book value of CHF 35,384,945
(2012: CHF 36,985,000), have been pledged as a security to the canton and municipality. Additionally, land with a value of CHF 1,000,000
has been pledged (31 December 2012: CHF 1,000,000).

The valuation model of the Company captures the different investments, whether greenfield projects, brownfield projects, or operating
projects. The valuation model adopts various approaches depending on the category of the project, as for the greenfield projects and
brownfield projects, the model keeps it at investment cost given the uncertainty of the future assumptions and the absence of track record for
those projects. One of the major contributors to the investments’ value is land banks in Egypt. Its value depends very much on developments
and sales that are achievable over a long-term period. Due to this long-term view and the current political and economic situation there
remains a significant uncertainty.
For the operating projects, DCF valuation techniques applying a two-phase model for the hotels segment were used. The first phase is a 5year period which shows the evolving status of the hotel segment indicated by being back to the operating standards of before the 2011
revolution. And the second phase is a 5 year period which shows the steady performance of the hotel operations. Major underlying
assumptions are occupancy and average room rates for hotels and the number of real estate units to be sold. The various assumptions and
future projections incorporate the various political, economic and operational facts prevailing at the time of preparing the valuations. Future
developments may impact the value.
3 OFF-BALANCE-SHEET LEASING COMMITMENTS
CHF
The Egyptian revolution in 2011 has negatively affected the performance of the Company’s Egyptian arm under Orascom Hotels &
Development S.A.E. (“OHD”). OHD’s different operating segments, especially the real estate and hotels being the key revenue and value
drivers of OHD, have been negatively affected by the deteriorated economic conditions that took place in Egypt. This is represented in
downsized demand on real estate purchases and declined flow of tourists. During 2013 the performance of OHD’s different segments
continued to suffer from the events. Management believes that after the presidential election Egypt will return to stability and continuous
recovery within the next 5 years. However, against this background, there still remains significant uncertainty in relation to the future
economic performance.
4,422,600
4 INCORPORATION COSTS
Incorporation costs relate to the public offering in relation to the capital increase in September 2010. Incorporation costs are capitalised and
amortised over a period of five years.
5 FIRE INSURANCE VALUE OF FIXED ASSETS
The fire insurance value of fixed assets at 31 December 2013 amounts to CHF 731,000 (31 December 2012: CHF 731,000).
6 LIABILITIES TOWARDS STAFF PENSION SCHEMES
Current liabilities at 31 December 2013 amount to CHF 30,593 (31 December 2012: CHF 7,777).
Based on these valuations, the value of the investment in OHD exceeds its carrying amount by a substantial amount. The Company’s
management considers the carrying amount of OHD as fairly stated and reflecting its realizable value as at 31 December 2013. However,
there remains a significant uncertainty as to the assumptions used in the valuation.

withholding tax. In order to reflect this new regulation, capital contribution reserves have been classified separately in the balance sheet. The
tax authorities have approved capital contribution reserves in the amount of CHF 2,999,972,182.

with the Executive Management on a regular base. A more formal reporting on risks over financial reporting was made prior to year-end to
the Board of Directors.

risks to the Group. The conclusions of such risk assessment are also considered by Group Finance.

Board of Directors’ Responsibility
20 RECLASSIFICATIONS
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Swiss law and the
company’s articles of incorporation. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant
to the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Board of Directors is
further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the
circumstances.
Certain reclassifications in the prior year balance sheet and the cash flow statement have been made in order to be in line with the current
period presentation.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss
law and Swiss Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the
entity’s preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 comply with Swiss law and the company’s articles of
incorporation.
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw your attention to note 8 to the financial statements disclosing the existence of a significant
uncertainty relating to the valuation of the investments in subsidiaries.
