CYPRUS - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The area of the Republic of Cyprus under government control has a market economy dominated by a services sector that accounts for more than four-fifths of GDP. Tourism, finance, shipping, and real estate have traditionally been the most important services. Cyprus has been a member of the EU since May 2004 and adopted the euro as its national currency in January 2008.

During the first five years of EU membership, the Cyprus economy grew at an average rate of about 4%, with unemployment between 2004 and 2008 averaging about 4%. However, the economy tipped into recession in 2009 as the ongoing global financial crisis and resulting low demand hit the tourism and construction sectors. An overextended banking sector with excessive exposure to Greek debt added to the contraction. Cyprus’ biggest two banks were among the largest holders of Greek bonds in Europe and had a substantial presence in Greece through bank branches and subsidiaries. Following numerous downgrades of its credit rating, Cyprus lost access to international capital markets in May 2011. In July 2012, Cyprus became the fifth euro-zone government to request an economic bailout program from the European Commission, European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund - known collectively as the "Troika."

Shortly after the election of President Nikos ANASTASIADES in February 2013, Cyprus reached an agreement with the Troika on a $13 billion bailout that triggered a two-week bank closure and the imposition of capital controls that remained partially in place until April 2015. Cyprus' two largest banks merged and the combined entity was recapitalized through conversion of some large bank deposits to shares and imposition of losses on bank bondholders. As with other EU countries, the Troika conditioned the bailout on passing financial and structural reforms and privatizing state-owned enterprises. Despite downsizing and restructuring, the Cypriot financial sector remains burdened by the largest stock of non-performing loans in the euro zone, equal to nearly half of all loans. Since the bailout, Cyprus has received positive appraisals by the Troika and outperformed fiscal targets but has struggled to overcome political opposition to bailout-mandated legislation, particularly regarding privatizations. Cyprus emerged from recession in 2015 and its economy grew an estimated 1.5% for the year, setting a positive tone for the scheduled end of the bailout program in March 2016. Growth recovered to 2.8% in 2016 and 3.4% in 2017, while unemployment dropped to 11.8%. The rate of non-performing loans (NPLs) is still very high at around 49%, and growth would accelerate if Cypriot banks could increase the pace of resolution of the NPLs.

In October 2013, a US-Israeli consortium completed preliminary appraisals of hydrocarbon deposits in Cyprus’ exclusive economic zone (EEZ), which estimated gross mean reserves of about 130 billion cubic meters. Though exploration continues in Cyprus’ EEZ, no additional commercially exploitable reserves have been identified. Developing offshore hydrocarbon resources remains a critical component of the government’s economic recovery efforts, but development has been delayed as a result of regional developments and disagreements about exploitation methods.

Economy - overview: Even though the whole of the island is part of the EU, implementation of the EU "acquis communautaire" has been suspended in the area administered by Turkish Cypriots, known locally as the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" ("TRNC"), until political conditions permit the reunification of the island. The market-based economy of the "TRNC" is roughly one-fifth the size of its southern neighbor and is likewise dominated by the service sector with a large portion of the population employed by the government. In 2012 - the latest year for which data are available - the services sector, which includes the public sector, trade, tourism, and education, contributed 58.7% to economic output. In the same year, light manufacturing and agriculture contributed 2.7% and 6.2%, respectively. Manufacturing is limited mainly to food and beverages, furniture and fixtures, construction materials, metal and non-metal products, textiles and clothing. The “TRNC” maintains few economic ties with the Republic of Cyprus outside of trade in construction materials. Since its creation, the "TRNC" has heavily relied on financial assistance from Turkey, which supports the "TRNC" defense, telecommunications, water and postal services. The Turkish Lira is the preferred currency, though foreign currencies are widely accepted in business transactions. The "TRNC" remains vulnerable to the Turkish market and monetary policy because of its use of the Turkish Lira. The "TRNC" weathered the European financial crisis relatively unscathed - compared to the Republic of Cyprus - because of the lack of financial sector development, the health of the Turkish economy, and its separation from the rest of the island. The "TRNC" economy experienced growth estimated at 2.8% in 2013 and 2.3% in 2014 and is projected to grow 3.8% in 2015.

Emphasis of matter

 

Please note that according to the Auditor’s Opinion in the subject’s Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2015, there is an emphasis of matter paragraph stating that the financial statements include the amount of $18,009,804 as unamortized charter hire income. This amount should have been recorded at the value of $16,060,312. The income recognized in prior years was understated by $1,949,492 resulting from the increase of the unamortized charter hire income. This error will be corrected in the following financial period.

 

The Auditors also stated the Directors have concluded that the company will have adequate resources to meet its financial obligations in the foreseeable future. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the repayment of the borrowings will not be accelerated by the lenders in spite of breach of certain loan covenants and that the short term credit facility of the ship builder will be refinanced.

 

 

Additional Information

 

We have been unable to trace any offices for the subject company in Cyprus. During our investigation we have contacted the company's correspondent ELLSPASERVE LTD. The official we spoke to confirmed us that there is no relationship between them.

Please note that the Annual report for the year 2014 was obtained from Official Sources.

The subject is an International Business Company - IBC (ex-offshore companies & offshore branches), registered in Cyprus on 28/12/2009.

IBC companies, being covered by the law of confidentiality, may use nominee shareholders that hold the shares in trust for the beneficial owners. Until recently beneficial owners were made known only to the Central Bank of the Republic of Cyprus, which used to grant permission for the company’s registration in Cyprus. After Cyprus accession into the EU, this practice changed. Beneficial owners of an IBC are now known to the lawyers and / or auditors that undertake the registration of such companies in Cyprus.

In the past IBC’s used to benefit from a corporation tax rate on their profits of 4.25%. However, according to the update in the tax legislation since the 1st of January 2003, there is no longer a distinction between local companies and International Business Companies (IBC’s) and he net profits of all companies registered in Cyprus are taxed at the rate of 12.5%.

Furthermore, in the past the law required IBC’s beneficial owners to be non-Cypriot residents and the business activities to be carried out, outside of Cyprus only. This law has changed and IBC entities may have activities worldwide, including Cyprus. However, in order for an IBC entity to have activities locally, their Memorandum and Articles of Association should provide for that. Most of the IBC entities that were registered before the change of the law have already proceeded with the amendments in their Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The new provisions provide exemptions from tax of income related to Intellectual Property, and more specifically:

1. 80% of worldwide royalty income generated from Intellectual Property owned by Cypriot resident companies (net of any direct expenses) is exempt from income tax.

2. 80% of profit generated from the disposal of Intellectual Property owned by Cypriot resident companies (net of any direct expenses) is exempt from income tax.

3. There is no defense tax on dividends for non-Cypriot residents.

Any expenditure of a capital nature for the acquisition or development of IP is claimed as a tax deduction in the year in which it was incurred and the immediate four following years on a straight-line.

All the above exemptions are also available for IPs acquired or developed before January 2012.
