Pactolus Hungarian Property Plc
Final results to 31 December 2014
Pactolus Hungarian Property Plc presents its results for the year ended 31 December 2014.
The original sphere of the Company’s activity was that of acquiring, developing, selling and letting investment properties in Budapest, Hungary. However, at the Annual General Meeting held on 26 June 2014, this was expanded to include investing directly or indirectly (via equities, debt and derivatives) in a portfolio of assets or asset backed investment vehicles including real estate, infrastructure, closed and open ended funds.
Key Highlights
The portfolio of properties was valued at €7.3m as at 31 December 2014 (2013:€7.3m);
Net asset value per share of 38p as at 31 December 2014 (2013: 41p), a decrease of 7 per cent, mainly due to exchange rate movements;
Annualised rent roll of €400,590 at 31 December 2014 (2013: €393,810) with a current annualised rent roll of €454,180;
Rental yield on cost as at 31 December 2014 was 7.4 per cent (2013: 7.5 per cent);
The quality of our leases has deteriorated with 83 per cent now expiring in under a year (2013: 73 per cent); and
The Group has continued to review costs throughout the year, reducing annual administration costs by 24 per cent to €177,140 for the year ended 31 December 2014 (2013: €232,641).
Chairman’s Statement
In what has been a fairly static year for the Group in terms of property sales, the Group’s reported net asset value at the period end was €5.1m, which equates to 38 pence per share (conversion rate of €1.2870 to Sterling). We continue to operate at a profit before financing activities, generating €80,243 this year compared to €20,862 last year.
The Group continued reducing its costs and for this year reported €177,140 in administrative expenses, a reduction of 24 per cent compared to the €232,641 incurred last year.
The bank loan provided by Investec was recalled and replaced by funds made available from M&M Investment Company Plc (the parent company of the Asset Manager and majority shareholder of Pactolus Hungarian Property Plc) on 21 December 2014. Subsequently the Group now has repaid €869,214 of this new loan from M&M Investment Company Plc.
The share price has moved up to 26p per share as at 31 December 2014 compared to 24p per share as at 31 December 2013.
Our strategy for the forthcoming year remains to continue to cut costs and sell properties, using the proceeds to reduce unsecured debt. Once the debt has been cleared, the Company expects to re-invest the proceeds from the sales of its current property estate primarily into the shares of asset backed companies such as property companies or closed-end investment funds, approval of which was given at last year’s Annual General Meeting.
This year the Board will present for Shareholders approval, a proposal to change the Company’s name from Pactolus Hungarian Property plc to M&L Property & Assets plc as it is not the long term intention of the Company to continue being so focused on Hungarian property assets.
Our Annual General Meeting will be held at 10.00am on Thursday 25 June 2015 at the offices of Equiom (Isle of Man) Limited, Jubilee Buildings, Victoria Street, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 2SH. Shareholders who are unable to attend the Meeting are requested to complete and return the form of proxy which is enclosed with the Annual Report and Financial Statements so as to ensure that their votes are represented.

Asset Manager’s Report
The Property Portfolio
The Group’s portfolio valuation has not significantly changed and remains at €7.3m as at 31 December 2014 (2013: €7.3m). The only valuation changes this year are with regard to the properties sold post year end and reported as current investment properties in the statement of financial position. These properties have been sold at an average net proceeds of 1.7 per cent above their 31 December 2013 book value.
During the year to 31 December 2014, the Group made no further additions to the portfolio and the floor space remained at 4,783 square metres. As at 31 December 2014, there were no property sales completed.
Lettings
As at 31 December 2014, the Group had 18 out of 27 properties let for an average yield against cost of approximately 7.4 per cent (2013: 7.5 per cent). As at 28 May 2015, the Group had a fully let rental book of properties.
Disposals
The Group did not complete any property sales in 2014 (2013: One). However, since the year end the Group has completed the sale of 5 properties. These properties are being sold at an average price per square metre (after cost) of €1,438.
Debt and Share Repurchase Programme
On 21 December 2014 the Group repaid the entire secured bank debt due to Investec Bank Plc (Irish Branch). This repayment was funded by an unsecured loan advanced to the Company from M&M Investment Company Plc, the parent company of the Group’s Asset Manager. As at 31 December 2014, the total amount due to M&M Investment Company Plc was €2.3m.
Net debt to equity ratio has increased to 46 per cent from 44 per cent reported last year.
The Company currently has authority to acquire up to 28.6 per cent (2,950,774 shares) of its current issued share capital (10,316,624 shares) and will be seeking shareholders’ approval at the next annual general meeting to renew this authority.
Dividend
The Company has continued with its policy of not paying dividends. No dividend has been paid since 30 October 2009 and there are no plans to pay a dividend.
Hungarian Economy
The residential property market in Budapest has stabilised. The Hungarian economy is not expected to record any material growth in 2015.
The Group’s strategy for 2015 remains the same in that we intend to work to retain our tenants, sell units when we can achieve reasonable valuations, minimise costs and reduce debt.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2014
Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated and parent company financial statements are set out below.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and the Isle of Man Companies Acts 1931 to 2004.
A separate income statement for the parent company has not been presented as permitted by the Isle of Man Companies Acts 1931 to 2004. The parent company generated profits of €667,127 (2013: €541,966).
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and all of its Subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group.
Presentational currency
The Directors have adopted to use the Euro in presenting the financial statements due to the international exposure and stakeholders of the Company.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised where the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet differs to its tax base, except for differences arising on:
the initial recognition of goodwill;
the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting or taxable profit; and
investment in subsidiaries where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the difference and it is probable that the difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those instances where it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the difference can be utilised.
The amount of the asset or liability is determined using tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the deferred tax liabilities/(assets) are settled/(recovered). Deferred tax balances are not discounted.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on either:
the same taxable group company; or
different group entities which intend either to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or recovered.
Segmental reporting
The Directors are of the opinion that the Group is engaged in a single segment of business, being primarily investment in properties and related services. The Group invests in properties situated in Budapest, Hungary.
Adoption of standards effective in 2014
(a) New and amended standards adopted by the group.
There are no IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the first time for the financial year beginning on 1 January
2014 that would be expected to have a material impact on the group.
(b) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted.
Standards | Effective Dates: Accounting periods commencing after |
|
1 January 2015 |
|
1 January 2015 |
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations in force at the reporting date. The Group has not adopted any standards or interpretations in advance of the required implementation dates. It is not expected that adoption of standards or interpretations which have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board but have not been adopted will have a material impact on the financial statements.
Income
Interest, fees and rental income are included in the financial statements on an accruals basis. Rental income is recognised on a straight line basis.
Property sales are included in the financial statements on an unconditional exchange basis. The profit on disposal of investment properties is the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying value of the assets at the date of disposal, less selling costs.
Expenses
All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis.
Issue and redemption costs
All costs incurred in the placing and repurchase of the Company's shares are written off in full against the profit and loss reserve.
Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. All differences are taken to the statement of comprehensive income.
Group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period for assets and liabilities. Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period) and all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.
Investment properties
Investment properties include completed properties which are held for their investment potential.
Investment properties are carried at fair value. Fair value is based on active market prices. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in the statement of comprehensive income for the period in which they arise. As permitted by IAS 40, investment properties have been valued by the Directors using judgements based on the current local property market.
Properties under development are classified under non-current assets and are stated at the fair value less any impairment.
Investment properties held for sale are actively marketed for sale and classified under current assets and are stated at the fair value less any impairment and selling costs.
Impairment of assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount. Any impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset 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 in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.
Property, plant and equipment
All furniture and equipment are stated at cost less impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation, based on a component approach, is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost over the assets estimated useful lives, as follows:
Furniture and equipment – 5 – 10 years
Asset residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate at each financial year-end.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Investment in subsidiary companies
The investments in subsidiary companies are included in the Statement of Financial Position at cost less any provisions for diminution in value.
Loans to subsidiary companies
The unsecured subordinated loan made to Midasz Property Kft. is repayable on demand and has been accounted for under Current Assets and is measured at cost.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of provisions is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The provision is recognised in associated profit or loss.
Trade payables
Trade payables are stated at their original invoice value.
Interest–bearing borrowings
Interest–bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments throughout the expected life of the financial liability.
Borrowing costs
All borrowing costs are recognised in the profit or loss amortised over the period of the loan.
Critical judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies
The Group prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union, the application of which often requires judgements to be made by the board when formulating the Group’s financial position and results. The key sources of estimation uncertainty of the Group are the fair value estimates of investment properties.
Investment properties and properties under development represent a significant proportion of the Group’s assets, being 96% (2013: 96%) of the Group’s total assets. Therefore, the estimates and assumptions made to determine their fair value are critical to the measurement of the Group’s financial position and performance.
In determining the fair value of investment properties, the Group uses historical and current market data, and existing lease agreements to determine the fair value of each property.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for according to the substance of the contracted arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Prior year restatement
The Group amended its disclosure of certain items of expenses to more accurately record these within their appropriate class. Agency fees and insurance costs directly relating to property are now classed under direct operating costs. The net impact of the restatement to the shareholder funds for both Group and Company is €Nil.
2. Material agreements
(i) Midas Investment Management Limited (“MIM”) was appointed the Group's Asset Manager on 17 March 2006.
On 24 April 2013, the Asset Management Agreement was amended by a side letter to incorporate changes to the management fees. From that date MIM will charge:
The Investment Management Agreement cannot be terminated, other than for cause by the Company on 12 month’s prior notice.
(ii) Equiom (Isle of Man) Limited (previously known as Equiom Trust Company Limited) was appointed as Administrator to the Company, pursuant to the Terms of a Letter of Engagement dated 21 December 2005.

It is the Directors' opinion that the Group and Company's carrying and fair value of its financial instruments are the same.
Credit risk
The Group places surplus cash with third parties and is therefore potentially at risk from the failure of any such third party of which it is a creditor. It is the Group's policy to place excess cash funds on a short–term basis only and spread the risk over a number of different providers.
The Group's principal credit risk is that of cash and short–term deposits. The Board, in conjunction with the Asset Manager, has credit policies in place and this exposure is monitored on an ongoing basis.
Within the Group's credit risk policies are measures to ensure that rental contracts are made with customers of an appropriate credit history in order to minimise the exposure to any outstanding debts from lessees.

There are no rent receivables in the accounts of the parent company.
The Group allows an average receivables period of 30 days after invoice date. The receivables age analysis is also evaluated on a regular basis for potential doubtful debts. It is management's opinion that no provision for doubtful debts is required.
The Company's principal credit risk is that of its loans advanced to subsidiaries.
As at the year end the amounts due to/(from) the Company were as follows:
2014 | 2013 | |
€ | € | |
Midasz Property Kft. | 14,786,291 | 12,857,420 |
Midasz Two Property Kft. | 75,760 | 75,760 |

Pactolus (UK) Limited | (699) | (699) |
14,926,622 | 12,997,751 |
These loans do not carry any security on the assets of the related subsidiary and are also evaluated on a regular basis for potential impairments. It is the Board's opinion that no impairment provision is required for the year ended 31 December 2014 (2013: €Nil).
Market risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the UK Pound, the Hungarian Forint and the Euro. Foreign xchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised monetary assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. Interest rate risk arises from the Group's borrowing exposure.
Net interest income from cash and cash equivalents for the year totalled €412 (2013: €2,265). Net interest payments on borrowings for the year totalled €115,896 (2013: €111,804).
The Company’s net interest income from cash and cash equivalents for the year totalled €17 (2013: €292). The Company does not have any long-term borrowing. Interest earned on loans to subsidiaries for the year was €812,974 (2013: €753,388).
Based on current volatility for both interest and currency exchange rates, the Board determined that relevant risk factors should be taken into account when assessing the Group's exposure to the market risk. The sensitivity test below is based on the following:
(a) Interest rate change of +0.5 per cent from the average rate of 1.2 per cent earned in 2014. The average rate is calculated as the weighted average effective interest rate.Rate on cash at bank balances represents average rate earned on cash balances;
(b) Foreign exchange rate change of –7 per cent and +7 per cent from €1.2870 to the Pound Sterling and 316.50 Forint to the Euro, being the rates as at 31 December 2014.
The Company's loans to subsidiaries are transacted in Euros. The operating currency of the leading trading subsidiary is Forint and so this exposes the Company to foreign currency exchange risks. The Board is satisfied that no impairment is necessary as the major assets within the relevant subsidiary are valued in Euros.
The tables below show the effect on profit and equity after tax if changes in interest rates as stated in (a) above with all other variables held constant, are used as a sensitivity test on the Group's market risk exposures.

27. Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising Shareholders’ return.

Net debt is calculated as total debt less cash and short term deposits. Adjusted capital comprises all components of equity.
This gearing ratio at the year-end is as follows:
2014 | 2013 | ||
€ | € | ||
Debt | 2,542,088 | 2,430,199 | |
Cash and cash equivalents | (233,906) | (175,479) | |

Equity | 5,067,438 | 5,138,471 | |
