LETTER FROM THE MANAGEMENT BOARD
To our great satisfaction, 2014 saw the completion of another
stage of our growth strategy presented in the Company's
prospectus. The activities we are undertaking enhance the
Company's fundamental value, but in 2014 this was not yet
reflected in our stock price.
In implementing the strategy we adopted and presented before
the IPO, we took a number of measures which are described in
more detail in this Report.
However, we would like to begin by highlighting certain 2014
achievements of which we, as the Management Board, are most
proud:
As planned, we completed Phase 1 of the Eurocentrum Office
Complex project, an environmentally-friendly premium-class
office building offering low running costs. We are happy to
report that, as at the date of this Report, we have already
commercialised 70% of the 42,000 sqm of the building's gross
leasable area. In the autumn of 2014, we launched Phase 2 of
this project.
The Royal Wilanów project is progressing on schedule and within
budget. With six months still left to the opening, we have already
leased out 50% of the available space.
We have obtained a building permit for our flagship project:
revitalisation of the post-industrial area of the Former Norblin
Factory, which enjoys great popularity among prospective
tenants. Commercialisation of the retail area is currently under
way, in line with our unique Make Stories not Stores concept.
We have successfully closed another year at Real Estate Income
Assets FIZ AN, the investment fund under our management. In
2014, certificate holders received dividend at an annualised rate
of 7% of the capital invested. In 2015 we want to continue to
develop investment products based on retail and office projects
generating stable cash flows. To that end, the Group's strategy
envisages partially divesting assets and generating income from
active management of our property portfolio.
Unfortunately, vacancy rates on the Warsaw office property
market continued to rise throughout 2014, which translated into
lower average rents. Although the level of commercialisation of
our new projects is on the rise, the value of our properties is
determined based on average market figures; therefore, the
assumptions adopted by property appraisers drove down the
valuation of the Group's properties and we reported a net loss at
year end.
Our strategy remains focused on building the Company value
through consistent implementation of projects featured in our
current portfolio, as well as identification of new investment
opportunities. Our focus is on properties with a potential for
value growth based on their redevelopment and active
management.
We aim at closing 2015 with a property portfolio where 75% (in
terms of value) of the projects have been completed and largely
commercialised, which should drive up our rental income. The
consistent growth in the occupancy rates of our projects is an
effect of the premium quality of Capital Park's properties,
combined with our key competitive advantage - the Office Plus
concept, which reflects our experience in property management,
effective building technologies and ability to respond quickly to
the evolving needs of tenants. We expect that the Office Plus
concept will not only offer added value to our tenants, but also
facilitate further effective commercialisation of our properties,
despite an oversupply of new commercial projects and an
pressure on rents on the Warsaw office space market.
Bearing in mind that the sector in general is valued by the
market at a major discount to book value, and the Capital Park
Group is no exception, we hope that we, and our Investors, will
see the market price match the fair value of our Company as
soon as possible.
On behalf of the Management Board of the Capital Park Group
and all of our team, we are taking this opportunity to thank you
for your unwavering support and assistance in our endeavours to
achieve the Company's strategy.

THE GROUP’S PROPERTY PORTFOLIO
As at December 31st 2014, the Capital Park Group managed a portfolio
of 75 projects (including 3 projects managed through jointly-controlled
entities) in 37 cities across Poland, with a total area of 249,000 sqm
comprising office, retail, mixed-use, and other projects. As at December
31st 2014, the fair value of the portfolio was PLN 1.6 bn.
The Group's portfolio includes:
56 completed projects, generating rental income (including 39
properties of Real Estate Income Assets FIZ AN),
2 projects under construction,
17 projects in the pipeline, at various pre-construction stages.
The Group's three key projects account for 61% of the current value of its property portfolio:
Eurocentrum Office Complex – 70,000 sqm of office space located at Al. Jerozolimskie in Warsaw.
Royal Wilanów – 37,000 sqm of office and retail space located on the road to the Miasteczko Wilanów housing complex
in Warsaw,
ArtN – 64,000 sqm of a mixed-use office, service and retail space in a unique building on the corner of Żelazna and
Prosta streets.
Completion of those projects will be one of the key drivers of the Group's growth.
In June 2014, the Group completed Phase 1 of Eurocentrum Office Complex (Beta and Gamma buildings) – an office project
located in Warsaw, at Al. Jerozolimskie 124/136. The project owner is Dakota Investments Sp. z o.o., a subsidiary of the Company.
In December 2014, the Group completed Street Mall Vis à Vis Łódź, a retail and services complex located in Łódź at ul. Zgierska.
The investor is Diamante Investments Sp. z o.o., a subsidiary of the Company.
In 2014, two major projects with a total leasable space of approximately 49,000 sqm were completed. 2015 will see the
completion of five other projects with a total area of nearly 64,000 sqm. Land and other non-core projects account for only 7% of
the Group's total investments.
The share of completed projects increased from 31% at the end of 2013 to 54% at the close of 2014, from PLN 420m to PLN
898m. This means that the Group has consistently transformed its portfolio with a high initial share of land into a portfolio of
completed projects generating stable cash flows.
The Capital Park Group's portfolio includes four mixed-use projects at various stages of completion, with a total book value of PLN
537m as at the end of 2014 and a target value of PLN 1.5bn.
Mixed-use projects account for one-third of the Group's portfolio, and their value is expected to grow with the completion of two
projects, Royal Wilanów and ArtN. Combining office and retail functions is a major source of competitive advantage for the Group.
Retail space facilitates the commercialisation of a building on Warsaw's demanding office space market and offers attractive
options for the personnel and tenants.

(including interest of PLN 41,917 thousand). As at December 31st 2014, the loans were neither past due nor impaired. Loans
advanced by the Company are not collateralised by the subsidiaries’ assets.
As at December 31st 2014, the Company had receivables under loans advanced to a jointly controlled entity Patron Wilanow S.à
r.l. with a total value of PLN 28,780 thousand (including interest of PLN 5,767 thousand). Given the business outlook and the
expected deterioration in Patron Wilanow's liquidity position, Capital Park S.A. recognised an impairment loss of PLN 4,000
thousand. As a result, the carrying amount of the loans as at December 31st 2014, equal to their fair value, was PLN 24,780
thousand.
For key information on the largest loans, see Note 2 to the annual separate financial statements of Capital Park S.A. for the period

valid occupancy permit, establishes a mortgage in favour of the Bank on land lot No. 50/5 (KW LD1M/00118328/9), and achieves
a debt-service coverage ratio of 1.2, in accordance with the terms of the facility agreement.

MATERIAL EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO DECEMBER 31ST 2014
Material events subsequent to December 31st 2014 are presented in the 2014 separate annual financial statements, in Note 32.
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTIONS AND PROSPECTS OF THE COMPANY’S AND THE GROUP’S BUSINESS
The Group’s objective is to maximise its shareholder value through organic growth, i.e. by effective implementation of its business
plans for the existing project portfolio (particularly in Warsaw) and by purchasing new projects, given the growing importance of
the Polish market globally and the investment opportunities it offers − also in segments where the Group has not been present.
As market conditions become favourable, the Group will also seek to sell those of its completed projects which generate stable
income but show limited development potential. Even so, the Group may retain some interests in such projects, as was the case
with Real Estate Income Assets FIZ AN, earning additional income from management services.
The Group’s business strategy incorporates the following objectives:
Successful completion of projects in progress
Active management of the portfolio of income-generating and capital-growth assets
Identification of new investment opportunities.
TARGET STRUCTURE OF THE CAPITAL PARK GROUP
The Group adapts its structure depending on its current investment plans, by establishing new companies, or transforming or
combining existing ones.
In the immediate future, the Group plans to transfer significant assets as a non-cash contribution to its subsidiary CP Retail BV of
the Netherlands, comprising shares in Hazel Investments Sp. z o.o. and ArtN Sp. z o.o., which own large investment properties
currently under construction (Royal Wilanów) or at the pre-construction stage (the mixed-use project on the premises of the
former Norblin Factory).
RISK FACTORS AND THREATS
The Company's and the Group’s approach to risk management reflects its business model and relies on the knowledge and
experience of a committed management team. All investment decisions and progress of work on projects are discussed during
regular meetings of the Management Board. The risk areas described below and their effective management are also subject to
ongoing review by the Internal Control Department and the Audit Committee. Investment decisions which may carry potentially
higher risks or which involve considerable resources are also subject to review by the Investment Committee.
Given that Capital Park S.A., being the parent of the Capital Park Group, runs its business mostly through subsidiaries, below are
presented key risk factors which the Management Board believes to have the strongest bearing on the Group’s operations. The
list of risks discussed below is neither complete nor exhaustive, and therefore they may not be treated as the only risks to which
the Group is exposed. An exhaustive list of the risk factors which the Group considers material is presented in the base prospectus
prepared in connection with the PLN 100m public note issue programme, which was approved by the Polish Financial Supervision
Authority on November 24th 2014 and published on the Company's website.

EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS
RISK FACTORS POTENTIAL IMPACT RISK MITIGATING MEASURES
RISK OF MACROECONOMIC VOLATILITY
Deterioration of overall economic conditions globally and in Poland
Deterioration of economic conditions in the real property market and property development sector
Cyclical nature of the real property market
Deterioration of conditions in the financial sector
Changes in the Polish financial system – ongoing deregulation of open-ended pension funds (OFE)
Depreciation of the market value of properties
Limited ability to sell properties leading to loss of liquidity
Tenants’ bankruptcies negatively affecting the liquidity position
Drop in rents which may be obtained from lease of properties
Lower availability of credit
Lower demand or no demand for new note issues
Higher cost of financing
Appropriate selection of portfolio properties. Careful analysis of the location and quality of properties
Appreciation of the value of properties through regular repairs and upgrades
Choosing strong-brand tenants of sound financial standing. Entering into agreements with chain tenants and reputable institutions
Using diversified sources of debt financing
Diversification of financing sources and fostering good relations with leading financial institutions
Adding dividends and property management fees to income sources
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, in particular the EUR/PLN exchange rate
Lower proceeds from sale of properties as expressed in PLN
Lower rental income
A drop of the EUR/PLN exchange rate leads to a decrease in the carrying amounts of real properties
The use of natural hedging by matching the lease currency with the credit facility currency. However, given the fact that EUR is the base currency in which the properties are valued, and the balance-sheet hedging is not full, the Group has and will continue to have an exporter’s profile. It is not possible to fully eliminate the foreign exchange risk
Limited use of derivative instruments available on the market
INTEREST RATE RISK
Interest rates going up
Interest rates going down
Increase in debt service costs caused by an increase in interest rates
Higher yields (decrease in the value of properties owned by the Group). Yields are strongly correlated with the risk free rates and may grow along with an increase in interest rates
Opposite situation: a decline in yields as a result of a decrease in interest rates pushing up the prices of properties that the Group wants to purchase
Pursuing a long-term management strategy with respect to income-generating assets
Continuous monitoring of the real property market and economic situation, and fine-tuning the adopted strategy
Use of interest rate swaps. Such transactions, however, do not cover 100% of the exposure. The degree of exposure coverage is a compromise between lower risk and higher cost
COMPETITION RISK
Actions by competitive companies
Actions by local private investors
Drop in rents and selling prices of properties
More unoccupied space/units
Increase in prices and costs of purchase of properties
Investment process becoming longer and more difficult
Careful selection of properties and taking advantage of opportunities emerging with respect to distressed assets
Building on experience in project execution and knowledge of the market to implement unique projects
Leveraging the Group’s financial and organisational potential

Debt ratio (total liabilities/total assets) – increase driven by an increase in liabilities, mostly following the issue of notes by the
Company.
ASSESSMENT OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
In the Management Board’s opinion, the Company’s current and expected financial position is stable and there are no material
risks related to financial resources management, as evidenced by the Company’s safe liquidity and debt ratios. As at the date of
the financial statements, no events with a negative bearing on the Company’s future operations were reported.
FEASIBILITY OF INVESTMENT PLANS
At present, all operating activities of the Capital Park Group are carried out by the Company’s subsidiaries and jointly-controlled
entities. In line with the policy adopted by the Group to finance its operations, funds from banks are secured by individual SPVs,
responsible for separate investment projects. This strategy allows the Group to minimise the risk exposure of other projects and
mitigate the general business risk attributable to potential risks involved in individual projects.
The Group strives to have sufficient funds and available bank borrowings, and takes steps to secure financing on the best terms
achievable at a given time.
Since 2012, Capital Park S.A., as the Group’s parent, has also been financing development projects with proceeds from sale of
corporate notes. The Company issued notes with a total value of nearly PLN 175m, of which PLN 55m was repaid in January 2015.
They are partially secured three-year notes with a variable interest rate of 6M or 3M WIBOR plus margin. In 2013, the Company,
acting as a holding company, contracted a credit facility of EUR 10m to finance the business objects defined in its Articles of
Association.
Funds raised by the parent are transferred to its subsidiaries and jointly-controlled entities through long-term loans, acquisition of
notes or contribution of additional equity. All intra-Group transactions are executed on an arm’s length basis.
In the Management Board’s opinion, the Company is well-positioned to receive financing for its future investment projects.
Thanks to its reputation and a proven track-record, the Company has access to a number of financial institutions and diversified
sources of financing.
4 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STANDARDS
The set of corporate governance principles applicable to Capital Park S.A. is provided in the ’Code of Best Practice for WSE Listed
Companies’ attached as an appendix to WSE Supervisory Board Resolution No. 12/1170/2007 of July 4th 2007 concerning the
adoption of the ’Code of Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies’, as laid down by WSE Supervisory Board Resolution No.
17/1249/2010 of May 19th 2010, amended by WSE Supervisory Board Resolution No. 20/1287/2011 of November 19th 2011 and
WSE Supervisory Board Resolution No. 19/1307/2012 of November 21st 2012.
Directors’ Report on the operations of Capital Park S.A. in the financial year from January 1st to December 31st 2014
23
The consolidated text of the ’Code of Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies’ as applicable to the Company in 2014 is attached as
an appendix to WSE Supervisory Board Resolution No. 19/1307/2012 of November 21st 2012. The document is available on the
website of the Warsaw Stock Exchange (Giełda Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie S.A.) at http://www.corp-gov.gpw.pl.
Since the admission of Company shares to trading on the main market of the WSE, the Management Board has complied with all
corporate governance principles stipulated in the ’Code of Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies’, except the following:
i) Recommendation I.5 − where it refers to having in place a remuneration policy and rules of defining the policy.
The Company does not have in place a remuneration policy for the Supervisory Board and Management Board members or rules
of defining the policy. The Company is considering the possibility of establishing such policy and rules in the future.
ii) Recommendation I.9 – where it refers to ensuring a balanced proportion of women and men in management and
supervisory functions in companies.
As at the date of this statement of compliance, the Company does not ensure a balanced proportion of women and men on its
Management Board and Supervisory Board. There are no women among the four members of the Management Board. There are
two women among the six members of the Supervisory Board, however, the Company cannot give any assurance that this
proportion will be maintained in the future. Although the Company endorses the recommendation, it should be noted that the
Supervisory Board’s composition is determined by the shareholders at the General Meeting. The Company has a policy of
employing competent and creative individuals with appropriate professional experience and educational background.
iii) Recommendation I.12 – where it refers to enabling the shareholders to exercise their right to vote during a General
Meeting, either in person or through a proxy, from a location other than the venue of the General Meeting, using
electronic communication means.
Currently, the Company’s Articles of Association do not contain provisions that would enable the Company shareholders to
participate in a General Meeting using electronic communication means. Considering the provisions of Art. 4065 of the Polish
Commercial Companies Code, stating that companies may enable shareholders to participate in a General Meeting with the use
of electronic communication means only when their Articles of Association provide for such an option, the Company cannot
enable its shareholders to participate in a General Meeting using real-time electronic communication. Another reason why the
Company does not comply with the above recommendation is the excessively high cost of procurement of the appropriate
equipment and technical capabilities that would allow the Company to fulfil the tasks imposed by the recommendation, which is
incommensurate with the potential benefits to the shareholders.
iv) Recommendation IV.10 – where it refers to enabling shareholders to participate in a General Meeting using means
of electronic communication through:
1) real-time broadcast of General Meetings,
2) real-time two-way communication where shareholders may take the floor during a General Meeting from a location
other than the General Meeting.
The Company does not comply with the above recommendation because of the excessively high cost of procurement of the
appropriate equipment and technical capabilities that would allow the Company to fulfil the tasks imposed by the
recommendation, which is incommensurate with the potential benefits to the shareholders.
The Articles of Association provide that candidates to the Supervisory Board and members of the Supervisory Board are obliged to
submit, promptly after being appointed, a written statement to the Company to the effect that they meet the independence
criteria under Annex II to the Commission Recommendation of February 15th 2005 on the role of non-executive or supervisory
Directors’ Report on the operations of Capital Park S.A. in the financial year from January 1st to December 31st 2014
24
directors of listed companies and on the committees of the (supervisory) board, and advise the Company promptly if their status
changes during the Supervisory Board’s term of office.
In 2014, the Management Board decided to comply with the corporate governance recommendation provided for in Section
II.1.9a of the 'Code of Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies', which refers to recording the General Meeting in audio format and
making such recording available from the Company's website. The recommendation will be implemented as of the next General
Meeting.
Where the implementation of a corporate governance principle requires amendments to the Company’s corporate documents
(Articles of Association, Rules of Procedure for the Management Board, Rules of Procedure for the Supervisory Board, Rules of
Procedure for the General Meeting), the Management Board will take steps necessary to ensure that such amendments are
made. The Management Board also intends to recommend to the Supervisory Board and the General Meeting compliance with all
principles of the ’Code of Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies’, except as specified above.
Importantly, the decision whether or not to comply with certain principles stipulated in the ’Code of Best Practice for WSE Listed
Companies’ will be made by the Company shareholders and the Company’s Supervisory Board.
