GROUP CEO'S REVIEW

The year 2024 brought numerous challenges in the sector of real estate,
requiring companies to be flexible, exercise strategic planning, and adapt to
the changing market conditions. The real estate developer Arco Vara faced a
complicated economic environment where low consumer confidence and high interest
rates impacted the activity of the real estate market and the financial results
of the company.

The  greatest challenge  of the  first half  of the  year was  selling completed
apartments  in Kodulahe and Kuldlehe developments,  the market value of which is
nearly  14 million  euros.  Even  though  a  growth  appeared  in  the number of
transactions on the apartment market in the second half of the year, the overall
interest  in purchasing remained modest. In  addition, the start of construction
of  the next  stage of  Kodulahe (Soodi  6) was postponed  due to processing the
construction  permit, which  in turn  impacted the  project schedule  and future
revenue.

The  volatility  of  the  economic  environment  and high borrowing costs placed
pressure  on corporate profitability. Despite all this, we managed to maintain a
steady  and  clear  path  towards  increasing  future development volumes and to
continue development in line with our strategy. We may have ended the year 2024
with  a loss,  but our  focus remained  on ensuring long-term sustainability and
strategic management of investments.

Signs  of stabilisation were seen in the second  half of the year - the decrease
of  Euribor had a  positive effect on  the market and  the transaction volume of
apartments  grew in Q4 of 2024 compared to  both the same period of the previous
year  as well as the  first half of 2024. An  adjustment of pricing policies and
occupancy rates were also observed in both the residential market and commercial
real estate.

Arco  Vara continued to seek new  investments and develop existing projects. Our
focus  remained  on  developing  sustainability  and  expanding  the  life cycle
analysis  to  all  new  projects.  Our  promise "Build the future, create value"
guides all of our decisions and activities.

In  2024, we focused on developing quality residential environments, maintaining
a strong financial position, and flexible adjustment to market changes, in order
to ensure the sustainable growth and competitiveness of the company. Our mission
is creating modern, sustainable and desirable residential environments where the
customer can create their dream home.

Our  vision is to be  the first choice for  homebuyers. A 360-degree real estate
journey combining development, construction, sales, and customer service, allows
us  to offer the best homebuying experience  and homes with the best convenience
of use.

The  primary focus of Arco Vara is a satisfied customer - which will also remain
the  focus of  our daily  work in  the future.  Even though 2024 was the year of
adaptation and finding balance, we remain confident that our strategic direction
and  knowledgeable management  form a  strong basis  for future developments and
sustainable growth.

Our  main  goals  for  2025 are  to  complete  the  first stage of the Bulgarian
development,  sell the  completed apartments  in Kodulahe  and Kuldlehe,  and to
start  the  construction  at  Soodi  6. We  are  also  moving  forward  with the
development  of the Arcojärve project, hoping  to obtain the construction permit
as early as by the end of the year. In addition, we are looking for new projects
to  add to our portfolio in order  to increase development volume and strengthen
the position of the company on the real estate market.
