A FEW WORDS FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Since 1988, GROUP APC PLC has been providing contracting services with clear objectives: to ensure the highest standards of
quality and integrity, to guarantee continuous
project monitoring and to develop strong, long
term customer relations.
GROUP APC PLC offers its clients professional
expertise through people who are committed to
teamwork. We are able to combine specialised
knowledge and the latest technologies to meet
our clients' needs.
Over the years, we have succeeded in becoming
one of the leading building and civil engineering
contractors and property developers in Cyprus.
In 2001 we extended our business horizons even
further with our presence in the Greek market
through APC (Hellas) SA, which was followed by
our presence in Romania through our subsidiary
Osorio Holdings Ltd. Since 2005, when Latomia
Pharmakas (Pharmakas Quarries) became part of
GROUP APC PLC, we have been broadening the
range of our activities into the production of ag
gregates and other quarry products, as well as the
production and supply of ready-mix concrete and
asphalt. As a result, the Group is now the leading
supplier of core construction materials in Cyprus.
The Group is seeking to expand its activities in
Africa and the Middle East.
Our aim is to improve constantly and, to this
end, we obtained ISO 9001 Quality Management
Certification in 2011.
Health and Safety issues are among our top
priorities, which is why we continuously put in
place actions and processes that safeguard the
health and safety of all those working with us
and those working for us.
Our values: Teamwork: We recognize our primary asset
is people. Our people and our clients work
together as a team.
Integrity: We remain true to our founding val
ues of quality, honesty and hard work.
Commitment: Our aim is to satisfy our clients'
needs. Lasting relationships are the lifeblood
of our business.

ABOUT US BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION ...
A. Panayides Contracting Public Ltd (GROUP APC PLC ) has been involved in the construction sector since 1988 when
it was founded by the late Andreas Panayides. It
has since become established as one of the most
important contracting companies in Cyprus
and beyond the island's borders. The projects it
undertakes are always guided by the principles of
seriousness, responsibility and consistency.
Thanks to its human face, teamwork, know-how
and an emphasis on safety, it makes dreams come
true. Every project undertaken strictly adheres
to the technical specification defined for it. The
company's ISO 9001 certification is in itself an
indication of the quality of the work put into every
project.
The ethos and honesty that underpin each project
undertaken, the hard word to ensure that delivery
deadlines are met, together with its long-term
relations with its clients, have given GROUP APC
PLC the authority to expand into other related
areas of activity while remaining at the top. An
important aspect that deserves to be mentioned is
the fact that some of the Republic of Cyprus' larg
est public sector construction projects have been
entrusted to GROUP APC PLC.

DESIGN-BUILD-MAINTAIN
In recent years there has been a growing tendency for projects, especially in the public sector, to use the "Design-BuildMaintain" {D-B·M) method. The Group has
acquired valuable expertise in this type of con
tracts and has successfully completed a number
of D-B-M projects, such as the Cyprus Police
Aviation Unit Facilities at Larnaka International
Airport, the Presidential Palace (New Building)
in Nicosia and the New Metrology Laboratory
in Nicosia. Another important D-B-M project,
where work is currently in progress, is the Exten
sion to Larnaka General Hospital.
GROUP APC PLC has developed a highly capa
ble network of partnerships with professional de
signers and consultants, which enables the Group
to efficiently carry out all required design work.
As far as the maintenance phase ofD-B-M
projects is concerned, GROUP APC PLC utilizes
both internal and external resources to fulfil all
maintenance work requirements, while at the
same time retaining full control and the efficient
management of all maintenance processes.
D PRESIDENTIAL PALACE (NEW BUILDING) NICOSIA, CYPRUS
This new building constitutes an important ad
dition to the historic building of the Presidential
Palace of the Republic of Cyprus, in Nicosia. The
building has already been used extensively during the Cypriot presidency of the European Un
ion Council, in the second half of 2012, hosting
numerous receptions, banquets and other events.
Among the guests who enjoyed the facilities of
this beautiful hall were government ministers
from the 27 EU member states and high ranking
officials of the European Commission, including
President Jose Manuel Barroso and High Repre
sentative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
Baroness Catherine Ashton.
Following a competition, the contract to design,
build and maintain this building was awarded to
our company. The contract included provision
for 12-year maintenance. The timely completion
of the project was very important, in view of the
assumption of the Presidency of the EU Council
from Cyprus. Our company successfully deliv
ered the building to the state within the time
frame set, in only eleven months.
In addition to providing the necessary facilities
to its guests, this brand new hall enhances the
image of the Presidential Palace. In the design
and construction of this building, great empha
sis was placed on the full respect of the historic
building of the Presidential Palace and the
overall environment. The building is energy ef
ficient and is equipped with an extensive range of
modern equipment and facilities. It can seat 500
people, or 300 if seated by table.

Most of our projects have been recognised and have received glowing reviews. The most
important awards with which we have been hon
oured are three State Architectural Prizes for three
different projects. In 1992 we received the award for
the Saint Elias Tourist Village in the Architecture
& Tourism category from the then President of the
Republic, George Vassiliou. In 2001, the New GSP
Stadium won the Major Architectural Project award,
which was handed out by the then President of the
Republic Glafcos Clerides. And in 2004, we were
honoured with the Public Building award for the
Union of Cyprus Journalists' Building, which was
presented by the late President of the Republic
Tassos Papadopoulos.
GROUP APC PLC is very active with a number of charitable causes with the aim of contributing to society as a whole. To this end
it supports many charitable NGOs, including the
Cyprus Red Cross and the annual Radiomarathon
for children with special needs.
Moreover, it is the main sponsor of the Dali munici
pal nursery. The local authorities named it after the
company's founder Andreas Panayides in his hon
our and in recognition of his social contribution.
Contributing to society is one of the Group's main
objectives.

Developing projects ... creating value
IN GREECE
2001 was a milestone in the company's history: the decision to expand into Greece.
APC (Hellas) was established primarily for land
and property development purposes and with the
aim of moving into the contracting sector.
When the decision was taken to expand the compa
ny, things were very different from today. However,
in the face of the financial crisis and the ensuing
difficulties, GROUP APC PLC remained undaunt
ed and proceeded to grow and thrive in Greece. In
any case, it is our belief that hard work and ethos
are always rewarded. The move to expand the com-
pany's activities into Greece and its establishment
there was a main component of the company's
strategy which aims to maintain its leading position
in public and private projects. Its know-how and
contracting practices give GROUP APC PLC a
competitive advantage over its rivals. At the present
time, the company has a number of projects under
study in various areas of the Attica region.
As regards the contracting sector, the company
intends to focus on medium-sized projects such as
commercial buildings as well as private residences,
hotels, tourist villages and refurbishments.
The further expansion of the company was a result of its growth in Cyprus. We truly believe that experience and know-how
don't recognise borders and our priority is to
offer everything we have learned throughout the
years by creating projects that will remain as a
legacy to future generations.
1his is the reason behind the establishment of our
subsidiary company Osorio Holdings, which is
active in land and property development in the
emerging Romanian market. Lately we have been
considering projects in the Bucharest and lasi areas
concerning commercial buildings, offices, private
residences, villas and residential plots ofland.
Recently, the first phases of the Aria Residences
project have been completed in north Bucharest.
1he project is a real jewel in the Paradise Green
IN ROMANIA
Corbeanca area, and is the ideal choice for those
who dream of enjoying a calm and relaxing daily
life close to nature. 1he complex consists of de
tached and semi-detached villas and maisonettes
of various sizes, built in a contemporary archi
tectural style and featuring a comfortable and
functional interior design and decor.
Moreover, our objective is to give the people who
show us their trust the chance to make their life's
dream come true: their own home, their own safe
harbour.
1he company's strategy for subsequent growth
is to find out more about the land and property
market while preparing to enter the contracting
sector. In Romania, we have the opportunity to
generously offer our knowledge of all aspects of
construction and to expand our activities.

QUARRIES BEST QUALITY ... SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS
The demand for aQCJregates and other quarry products, ready-mix concrete and asphalt concrete for new construction and project maintenance is growing daily, together with a need for quality in the
various construction projects throughout the country. Having predicted this development a
long time ago, GROUP APC PLC took timely
action in the sector and entered the market for
aggregates, concrete and asphalt with Lato
mia Pharmakas (Pharmakas Quarries - www. pharmakas.com), which has been involved in
quarrying activities since 1986.
Latomia Pharmakas plc was founded in 1986 as a private company. It became a public company in
1999 and was floated on the stock exchange in 2000.
In 2005 it was purchased by Gerik Investments Ltd.
was delisted from the Cyprus Stock Exchange and
became a member of GROUP APC PLC.
Through Latomia Phannakas, GROUP APC
PLC owns three quarries: the Pharmakas diabase
quarry. the Politiko diabase quarry and the Mitsero limestone quarry.
QUARRY PRODUCTS Our quarries produce aggregates of the highest qual
ity, armourstone and paving stone. The main features that make them stand out are:
The quality of the final product (our quarries have achieved CE marking and meet the strict standards
of the Cyprus Public Works Department); the quality of the raw materials (all quarried material can
produce high quality final product with high trade value); the quantity of raw materials (we have huge
quantities of raw materials and important private
land around the quarry zones, ensuring that we
can have extensions to the quarry zones for at least
another 50 years); armourstone for marine works (our quarry at Mitsero is the only quarry in Cyprus
that can produce armourstone suitable for marine works, and is the exclusive supplier of armourstone
for the Limassol Marina); and paving stone prod
ucts (our new paving stone factory at Pharmakas
Quarry utilizes our own armourstone to manufacture a wide range of paving stone products). The
combined capabilities of our quarries enable us
to produce virtually all types of quarry products required by the construction industry.
READY-MIX CONCRETE
Through Latomia Pharmakas, GROUP APC PLC acquired and operates
three ready-mix concrete plants in the Nicosia district, trading under
the names of "Powermix", "Pharmakas Beton'' and ''A.G. Kazanos': The
plants, which are ISO 9001 certified, produce different types of high
quality concrete suitable for a variety of construction projects. GROUP
APC PLC owns a large fleet of concrete mixers and pump trucks. All
this means that we can feel proud to have the largest share of the Cy
prus market, which raises us in our clients' esteem and increases their
recognition of our worth. Our plants and machinery all feature the latest
technology, enabling us to cater properly for every construction project
requiring our products. Finally, our concrete is of the highest quality
since we use our own quarry products to produce it and the combination
of our experience and know-fiow~~lts in our ability to comply with any requirement in the specificationSfdr concrete. ~----.Em

PEOPLE-ORIENTED QUALITY MANAGEMENT
In January 2011, A. Panayides Contract-ing Public Ltd obtained ISO 9001 quality certification. Our intention and objective is
to integrate our quality management system into
all our construction projects. Our main aim is to
provide quality services to our clients throughout
the entire process, from the initial undertaking of
the project to its final delivery. According to our
philosophy and policy, quality means understand
ing our clients' needs. Quality means carrying out
the project according to the client's specifications
without losing any of our competitiveness. Quality
means meeting deadlines for the completion of
every project.
The quality management system is essentially
based on the people who make up and sup-
port our Group. For this reason, the continuous

GROWTH IS A PRIORITY
THE MOST IMPRESSIVE BUILDING FOR BUSINESS AND JET SETTERS, CENTER POINT PLAZA It is precisely for this reason that we are growing
on a daily basis and creating projects that will last over time. For example, Center Point Plaza is one of the most important projects under study. Located in the heart of Nicosia on 7,500 square metres of
prime land, it is an ambitious project which will include shops, offices and luxury apartments, with a total building area of72,000 square metres. We
are planning to erect the tallest building in Nicosia, enabling those who invest in it to enjoy both the superb design and the functionality of the facilities. With this in mind, we intend to build an impressive
structure which is unique not only to the island but
to the broader geographical region. The project is currently in its planning stage and presents an excellent opportunity for interested investors.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT ...
On the previous pages we have told you all about our Group, our projects, our people and our values. But some things cannot be
fully communicated in words, including our daily
routine, our hard work, our belief in and passion
for what we do. You have seen words and pictures
but they cannot capture the smile of satisfaction
that comes upon completion of a project ... they
do not show you the feeling of pleasure at meeting
a deadline ... and, of course, they cannot commu
nicate teamwork and daily dedication. However ...
these words and pictures do describe our life; the
respect that we give to each and every project,
large or small. 1his is where the key difference lies:
in how we roll up our sleeves and work with ethos
and creativity so as to be always by your side, to be
there for you who want only the best.
The best? Why not the best of the best!
