The main reasons leading to these accumulated losses and their history: |
During the period ended 30 June 2021, the Company had provided an amount of AED 72.30 million as a provision towards Investment properties and provided appropriate disclosures in the Financial Statements for the period ended 30 June 2021 and the Board of Directors Report. Subsequently, the company has treated this as prior period adjustments, and this has resulted in increase in accumulated losses as of 1st January 2020 by AED 72.3 million. The investment properties (AED 72.3 million) represent purchased assets from a related party during the years 2013 & 2014. The purchased assets comprise of 60 residential units in a single building and a plot of land of 150,000 square feet with integrated infrastructure. The counterparty (a related party) to the above transactions never fulfilled their obligation to the Company (the Buyer) since purchase date. Accordingly, the Company neither has the title deeds nor a possession of the said properties. As a prudent measure, the new Board of Directors of the Company has decided to book a full provision (AED 72.3 million) against the said assets. The Company is pursuing legal action against the involved parties to recover the Company's rights, in accordance with the resolution of Shareholders Assembly Meeting held on 30 September 2021. | TU^!

the exchange the Company received the land for the fair va|ue of AED 59,210 thousand. The Company received the title deeds for the land and the exchange was considered to have commercial substance. On the date of exchange, the land should have been recorded at AED 59,210 thousand. The Company restated the prior period cost of the free hold land to AED 59,210 thousand. This correction resulted in AED 22,834 thousand reduction in "property and equipment" and AED 22,834 thousand increase in "accumulated losses" as at each of 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2020.
former major shareholder (Related party): The company has made a bad debt provision of AED 26.2 million against insurance receivables from former major shareholders during the years 2019 (AED 4.7 million) and 2020 (AED 21.5 million).
Due to the adoption of IFRS 17 for the first time, the financial statements of previous periods have been restated. The adoption led to accumulated losses increasing by AED 35.7 million, while the adoption of IFRS 9 resulted in an increase of accumulated losses by AED 10.6 million. The impact of IFRS 17 on AED 35.7 million is in the form of a deferred liability. This amount will be released to the profit and loss statement during the subsequent accounting period. The IFRS 9 (Expected Credit Loss) is an estimate adopted for the first time during 2023 on the receivables. With the implementation of speedier and more effective collection processes, this provision is expected to reduce. | " " |
