Subsequent to allotment of these shares, the Company did not fulfill certain conditions stipulated in share purchase agreements. In particular, it had not completed the listing on the London AIM as well as it had not completed the purchase of certain properties for development. Under those circumstances, share purchase agreements require the Company and the investors to take all necessary steps to unwind the purchase of the shares by the investors. The Board of Directors of the Company made a call on unpaid shares by sending the necessary notices to investors. Further to the investors' non-compliance with the notices and non-payment of the consideration for the issue of the shares, on 16 April 2013 the Board of Directors of the Company initiated the procedure for the forfeiture of the shares in question. It was expected that upon completion of the forfeiture of the shares issued to the new investors, the Company's Board of Directors will make its decision with regards to the disposal of the shares forfeited as it deemed appropriate and in the interests of the Company. Thus, as at 31 December 2012 the effect related to forfeiture of the shares was recognised in other reserves within equity. Subsequently, in accordance with the decision of the Board of Directors of the Company, dated 25 May 2013, unpaid shares were legally forfeited, which resulted in a decrease in share capital by USD 13 thousand, share premium by USD 69,987 thousand and increase in other reserves by USD 70,000 thousand.

Further, as part of the initial public offering (IPO) of the Company's shares at London AIM, on 20 July 2013 the Shareholders approved the increase of the Company's authorised share capital to EUR 53,000 (or USD 68,564) divided into 106,000,000 ordinary shares of nominal value EUR 0.0005 each.

On 12 September 2013 the Company was admitted for trading on London AIM. As a result of the IPO, the Company placed 38,650,637 ordinary shares for the total amount of USD 93,759 thousand. 28,350,214 ordinary shares were transferred to entities under common control as consideration for acquired subsidiaries at a fair value of USD 66,056 thousand (see note 1(a)) and 10,300,423 ordinary shares that were settled in cash at a price of USD 2.33 per share. Cash proceeds from placement of 10,300,423 ordinary shares, net of direct costs related to the IPO process of USD 1,757 thousand, amounted to USD 22,243 thousand.

Call option agreement with ELQ Investors II Ltd.

On 14 July 2011 the Company entered into a transaction pursuant to which ELQ Investors II Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Goldman Sachs Group Inc, provided the Company with convertible loans in the maximum amount of up to USD 40 million at an interest rate of 11.5% per annum. Out of the maximum amount, USD 30 million were provided to the Company. The funds were used by the Company to provide a loan (with an initial interest at 11.85% p.a.) to Weather Empire Limited (a special purpose vehicle incorporated in the British Virgin Islands) in order to purchase 1,077 shares (or 16.67% of subscribed share capital) in the Company from Retail Real Estate S.A.

As part of the transaction, ELQ Investors II Ltd. received one Initial Arricano Share. The shares purchased by Weather Empire Limited were held under escrow by a Cypriot escrow agent, Themis Professional Services Limited. In accordance with a call option agreement, from 14 July 2011 ELQ Investors II Ltd. obtained the right to receive the entire issued capital of Weather Empire Limited, which in turn held the 1,077 ordinary shares of the Company, for USD 1. However, the conversion right expired in July 2013 and accordingly the loan due to ELQ Investors II Ltd became repayable.

In July 2013, the Company entered into a settlement and release deed, in accordance with which related parties of the Group and UBS AG agreed to settle the Company's indebtedness due to ELQ Investors II Ltd. Simultaneously, the Company concluded two loan agreements with these related parties amounting to USD 36,974 thousand in total. One loan amounting to USD 8,475 thousand was repaid on 20 September 2013. As at 31 December 2013, the loan amounting to USD 28,500 thousand was payable on demand by 17 December 2014 at the latest. Also, the Company issued an the irrevocable guarantee to UBS AG securing the repayment of the loan obtained by the related party for the amount of USD 28,800 thousand and the interest accrued thereon. During six months ended 30 June 2014, the Group signed an amended loan agreement with this related party, stipulating a decrease of the loan principal to USD 15,300 thousand and prolongation of the final repayment date until 17 August 2018, although the loan remains payable on demand in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement (refer to note 12). Accordingly, the amount secured by the irrevocable guarantee issued to UBS AG was decreased to USD 15,300 thousand, plus interest accrued thereon and other specified costs related to the loan facility provided by UBS AG (refer to note 22 (c)(ii)).

Other reserves

Other reserves represent the cumulative change in ownership interests in subsidiaries resulting from acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries under common control, and the effect of forfeiture of shares.

Earnings per share

The calculation of basic earnings per share for the six-month period ended 30 June 2014 was based on the profit for the period ended 30 June 2014 attributable to ordinary shareholders of USD 9,023 thousand and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding of 103,270,637.

The calculation of basic earnings per share for the six-month period ended 30 June 2013 was based on the loss for the period ended 30 June 2013 attributable to ordinary shareholders of USD 3,514 thousand and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding of 106,000,000. As described above, on 20 July 2013 the Shareholders of the Parent Company approved the increase of the Company's authorised share capital to EUR 53,000 divided into 106,000,000 ordinary shares of nominal value EUR 0.0005 each. Accordingly, the change in the quantity of the issued shares on 20 July 2013 was taken into account in the calculation of the weighted average number of shares for all periods presented in these consolidated interim condensed financial statements.

The Group has no potential dilutive ordinary shares.
