On 3 April 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company committed to a plan to sell Gelida Holding Limited and its subsidiary Mezokred Holding LLC to the ultimate controlling party of the Group. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the abovementioned subsidiaries are presented as classified as held for sale as at 30 June 2014. Assets of these subsidiaries are represented by investment property, which is a land plot, including the finance lease asset, measured at fair value of USD 7,423 thousand, prepayments for investment property in the amount of USD 55 thousand, property under construction measured at cost of USD 756 thousand and other assets of USD 79 thousand as at 30 June 2014. As at 30 June 2014, the Group recognized a gain on revaluation of this land plot in the amount of USD 1,930 thousand. Based on representation obtained from the ultimate controlling party, management believes that subsidiaries Gelida Holding Limited and Mezokred Holding LLC will be sold without causing financial losses or equity reduction to Arricano. Accordingly, management believes that the assets of these subsidiaries, classified as held for sale, are not impaired as at 30 June 2014.

As at 30 June 2014, the Group is involved as a defendant in a lawsuit alleging invalidation of a resolution of the Kyiv City Council, according to which the latter has approved an allocation of a land plot for construction of the hypermarket to Mezokred Holding LLC and entitled Mezokred Holding LLC to lease this land plot for a period of 25 years (refer to note 23(d)(iii)).

Included in assets classified as held for sale as at 30 June 2014, is a land plot with a carrying amount of USD 3,657 thousand (unaudited) (31 December 2013: USD 5,410 thousand), which is intended to be transferred by one of the Group's subsidiaries, Comfort Market Luks LLC, to a third party by the end of 2014 in accordance with an investment agreement concluded between the parties. Based on this investment agreement, Comfort Market Luks LLC acts as an intermediary in construction of a hypermarket with a total estimated area of 11,769 square meters and a parking lot with a total estimated area of 20,650 square meters.

As at 30 June 2014, Comfort Market Luks LLC has received advance payment from this third party amounting to USD 17,684 thousand (unaudited) (31 December 2013: USD 14,636 thousand) under the investment agreement (refer to note 16). Simultaneously, Comfort Market Luks LLC has concluded a contract of mandate, according to which this third party will act as a developer in the construction of this hypermarket and parking lot.

Trade receivables are mainly comprised of accounts receivable from related party, OKey Ukraine, under the common control of the ultimate controlling party. The Group ceased working with OKey Ukraine in August 2009. As the result of financial difficulties faced by this tenant, an allowance for impairment is recognized.

As at 30 June 2014, other receivables from related parties amounting to USD 8,826 thousand (31 December 2013: USD 9,260 thousand) comprise receivables due from Dniprovska Prystan PrJSC, which are overdue. In 2012 the court ruled to initiate bankruptcy proceedings against the mentioned related party and, as at 30 June 2014 the decision which would declare Dniprovska Prystan PrJSC insolvent has not yet been made. Management of the Group believes that it will be able to recover a portion of the balance amounting to USD 1,853 thousand (31 December 2013: USD 2,739 thousand) due to existence of sufficient assets of short-term nature and, accordingly, this portion of receivable is not considered to be impaired. As at 30 June 2014 management has recognised an allowance for impairment for the remaining portion of receivables amounting to USD 6,973 thousand (31 December 2013: USD 6,521 thousand) due to significant uncertainty in settlement of these balances by Dniprovska Prystan PrJSC.
