Disposal of 49.75% stake in Aristo Developers

Half Year Results for the six months ended 30 June 2016

Trading Update

 

 

Highlights:

·     On 29 September 2016 the Company signed a binding agreement to sell its 49.75% stake in Aristo Developers Ltd ("Aristo") to Mr. Theodoros Aristodemou for a €45 million cash consideration. This represents a 70% discount to the carrying value as at 31 December 2015 on a pro-forma basis reflecting Aristo's debt restructuring agreed with Bank of Cyprus. The €45 million cash consideration is payable in quarterly instalments over three years and bearing annual interest of 4% in the first year, increasing to 5% and 6% respectively for each of the ensuing two years.

·     Arranged a new €7.5 million 18 month credit facility with a major financial institution, subject to definitive documentation, which on signing will create additional liquidity for general corporate purposes.

 

·     Amanzoe performance is significantly ahead on a year-on-year basis, especially with respect to villa rental income.

 

·     Total Group Net Asset Value ("NAV") as at 30 June 2016, as adjusted for the disposal of Aristo, was €355 million and €317 million before and after Deferred Tax Liabilities ("DTL") respectively. This represents a decrease of €190 million and €164 million, or 34.8% and 34.1%, respectively, against the year end 2015 figures.

·     NAV reduction is mainly due to:

the reduction in the carrying value of Aristo by €35 million from the debt restructuring agreement reached with Bank of Cyprus in June 2016 and half year operating losses, as well as a further €109 million write-down on Aristo's carrying amount to reflect the agreed €45 million sales price; and,

Dolphin's regular operational, corporate, finance and management expenses, as well as the devaluation of the Americas properties in Euro terms due to the appreciation of the Euro against the US Dollar by c. 2%.

·     No portfolio revaluation was undertaken during this period; the next full portfolio valuation will be conducted at 31 December 2016.

·   Sterling NAV per share as at 30 June 2016 stood at 32p before DTL and 29p after DTL, a 26.8% and 26% decrease before and after DTL respectively compared to the 31 December 2015 figures. The decrease was mainly driven by the factors mentioned above, offset by a 12.3% appreciation of the Euro versus Sterling.

 

·     The Company continues to have a significant asset base, after the sale of its shareholding in Aristo:

Gross Assets of €700 million

Total Debt of €215 million (€232 million as at 31 December 2015) with a Group total debt to total assets value ratio of 31% respectively. The remaining US$16.7 million of the 2016 Convertible Bonds, which matured on 31 March 2016, were repaid in full.

·     Sue Farr joined the Board of Directors on 19 July 2016.

Commenting, Andrew Coppel, Non-Executive Chairman of Dolphin's Board of Directors said:

"We are delighted to have completed the disposal of our holding in Aristo Developers. The sale will significantly enhance the Group's liquidity and allow the Company the flexibility to deliver value for shareholders through the monetization of assets on a timely basis."

Miltos Kambourides, Founder of Dolphin and Managing Partner of Dolphin Capital Partners said:

"The sale of Aristo Developers is the first major step towards further asset realizations and focusing on the Company's core assets. We look forward to accelerating this process."

A.  Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to report Dolphin's interim financial results for the period ended 30 June 2016 and provide a trading update for the period.

 

The revenue for the six month period rose from €8.1 million to €15.9 million and the operating losses were reduced from €20.8 million to €11.3 million.

 

Following the Board's decision earlier this year to accelerate asset divestments and improve liquidity, the Company was able to achieve tangible results through the disposal of our 49.75% investment in Aristo.

 

The Aristo divestment, further details of which are set out in paragraph B.2.2. of the Investment Manager's Report below, will result in significant cash inflows for the Company over the next three years thereby allowing the Group to proceed with its value realization policy for the remaining portfolio from a position of financial strength. However, this disposal has also resulted in an impairment charge in these financial statements of €109 million, in addition to the €35 million charge following Aristo's debt restructuring agreement reached with Bank of Cyprus and Aristo's half year operating losses to 30 June 2016.

 

Whilst the agreed sale proceeds are significantly below the adjusted net asset value of DCI's interest in Aristo as at 30 June 2016, it should be emphasised that this figure essentially reflects the appraised value of the aggregate of Aristo assets, net of liabilities, in accordance with IFRS requirements. This carrying amount takes no account of the fact that Aristo has not adopted an asset disposal strategy that could generate dividends for DCI in the near future, nor of Aristo's annual overheads, financing expenses and potential further NAV reductions due to additional bank restructurings. Furthermore, it takes no account of the commercial reality that our shareholding represented an illiquid substantial minority position in Aristo.

 

On 19 July 2016, Sue Farr joined the Board, which now consists of six members. Sue is also a non-executive director at ACCSYS Technologies plc, British American Tobacco plc, Dairy Crest plc and Millennium & Copthorne plc, and has won wide recognition in the marketing sector and a number of awards.

 

The Board is aware of its commitment to convene a shareholders' meeting before 31 December 2016, so that shareholders have an opportunity to review the life of the Company and consider a resolution for its continuation and future strategy. The Board is in the process of formulating its proposal to Dolphin's shareholders and this will be announced in the near future.

 

We have made good progress to secure the Group's financial position and begin to realise value for shareholders. The Board and the Investment Manager will continue their efforts to increase working capital and accelerate shareholders' returns through the monetization of assets. We believe that further tangible results can be achieved in the short term.

B. Investment Manager's Report

B.1.     Business Overview

During the first half of 2016 we continued the development of our Core Projects (ranging from villa sales initiatives and construction of sold villas to advancing zoning and permitting) and progressed a number of discussions to monetise the Group's portfolio assets and explore joint venture options. These have so far resulted in the sale of DCI's minority stake in Aristo while a number of other discussions remain ongoing.

Our recent actions can be summarised as follows:

·   Sold Dolphin's 49.75% minority position in Aristo for a cash consideration of €45 million, full details of which are set out below, which will make a significant contribution to meeting the Group's overheads and operational expenses (including non-operating project interest costs) over the next three years.

·   Realised continuously improving revenue and Net Operating Income ("NOI") in Amanzoe which is expected to exceed our 2015 results.

·   Successfully managed the first year of Amanera operations through the Zika outbreak in the Caribbean, achieving higher Average Daily Rate ("ADR"), albeit at lower occupancy rates, than targeted.

·   Signed additional sales and/or reservation agreements for the sale of Seafront villas in Kilada Hills and at La Vanta.

·   Arranged a €7.5 million 18 month revolving credit facility with a major regional financing institution, subject to documentation, which, on signing, would enhance Dolphin's liquidity.

We continue to focus on the implementation of the Company's strategy to realise the value of our diverse asset portfolio in order to maximise cash returns for our shareholders, which include the sourcing of disposal or JV opportunities for our projects, and the further refinement of our sales and marketing strategy to increase the pace of villa sales.

We are confident that these efforts should result in the conclusion of further transactions in the near term.

 

 

B.2.     Portfolio Review

B.2.1.  CORE PROJECTS

·   Amanzoe, Greece (www.amanzoe.com) 

 

-    Amanzoe initiated operations for the 2016 season on 1 April 2016, as scheduled, with seven villas in the rental programme. Hotel performance is currently ahead of last year, with occupancy reaching 61.4% and an Average Daily Rate ("ADR") of €1,122 versus 56.5% and €1,116 recorded on the books in 2015, ie 9% and 1% higher respectively on a year-on-year basis.

-    The Villa rental daily rates ranged from €4,800 to €25,000 and generated revenues that are 39% above budget for the period up to and including August 2016.

-    During the summer season, several site visits took place with potential villa buyers, and a number of them are currently in negotiations which are expected to be concluded by the end of the year. Sothebys Real Estate was hired as a marketing and sales agent for the Amanzoe Villas on 1 April 2016 and has already contributed some sales leads.

-    All construction works were suspended during the summer period so as not to disturb the smooth operations of the resort. Works are expected to resume in the fourth quarter of 2016, with the commencement of construction of three villas.

-    Amanzoe continues to receive outstanding reviews. Victoria Hislop included the resort and its Villa 20 in her recent article in the Daily Mail and praised Amanzoe's beauty once again. The resort's architecture was also mentioned in The Evening Standard while the resort was voted as The Most Expensive Resort in Europe in the Mr & Mrs. Smith list. The resort's Villa 20 was also extensively featured in The Daily Telegraph's quarterly luxury supplement, Ultra travel, as well as in its Travel section of the Year. At the same time, the resort was featured in the UK Harper's Bazaar, the Russian online magazine Buro247.ru, the Brazilian Vogue, the Italian Glamour magazine, the Turkish In Style, the Horizon & Beyond publication of the Middle East and in the UK Country & Town House magazine.

·   Amanera, Dominican Republic (www.amanera.com)

 

-    The Amanera Golf Resort at Playa Grande was delivered as scheduled and formally opened for paying guests on 23 November 2015. The Amanera hotel achieved occupancy and average daily rates of 43.5% and US$1,549 respectively during the first eight months of 2016. ADR was above expectations but occupancy was lower than budget, primarily due to the Zika outbreak which affected the Caribbean region. Measures are being implemented, in conjunction with Aman, to improve occupancy and underlying profitability.

-    The hotel closed on 26 August 2016 and will remain closed until 31 October 2016, the low season in the Caribbean, in order to implement a number of improvements that have been identified since opening.

-    In order to increase the sales velocity of Amanera Villas, a key factor to the project's financial sustainability, the Company has adopted a more focused sales, marketing and PR plan. In March 2016, Bespoke Real Estate, a real estate brokerage and consulting boutique, was hired as a marketing and sales agent for the Amanera Villas and has generated a number of interested potential buyer leads who are expected to visit the resort from November 2016 onwards.

-    The Amanera hotel continues to receive accolades from the world's top travel publications. It was featured on the cover of the March 2016 issue of Travel + Leisure Magazine as well as Vogue, Financial Times "How to Spend it", Wallpaper, Robb Report, New York Times and Conde Nast Traveller, with the last-mentioned featuring the resort at the top of their "Hot list" for the Caribbean. The golf course also continues to receive exceptional reviews from industry commentators and extensive coverage including articles in Golf Week, Golf Digest and Discover Golf.

·        Kilada Hills Golf Resort, Greece

-    Subsequent to the issuance of the presidential decree granting special zoning to the Kilada Hills Project in December 2015, the residential master plan remains under review as planned in the relevant ministries, with an expected approval prior to the end of 2016. Once approved, the freehold sale of lots will be permissible.

-    A residential offering proposal for a set of 40 Founder Golf Lots has been prepared. It is expected that the interest generated from the founding programme will facilitate securing the external funding of the first phase of the project, including the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, the golf clubhouse, the beach club and relevant infrastructure works.

 

·        Pearl Island ("Pearl Island" - www.pearlisland.com), Panama

-    The project team is in the process of completing the Ritz Carlton Reserve detailed designs and value engineering. Commencement of construction is subject to securing US$33 million of third party equity capital. Debt financing of US$33 million has been arranged but not yet drawn down.

-    In the meantime, development expenses and project overheads have been kept at a minimum necessary for the project to continue its operations.

-    The first group of turn-key villas and condos in the Founder's Phase (which is owned by a regional investor group which is our local partner in the island) were delivered in December 2015, together with the already completed beach club, airstrip, service pier, and main island infrastructure, first phase of the marina and other common amenities in the Founder's Phase.

-    The Founder's Phase, which has been sold by Dolphin on 5 September 2012, has already sold or reserved 109 residential units consisting of high-end lots, villas and condo apartments. Out of these units sold, the project has already delivered 36 lots connected to all utilities, together with a further 20 completed villas and condos and 28 marina berths / slips.

 

·        Kea Resort, Greece

-    The Company is advancing discussions with an international resort and real estate investor for a joint venture transaction involving an equity investment, required for the construction of the Kea resort, for a 50% shareholding stake in the project.

B.2.2. NON-CORE ASSETS

·        Aristo (a 49.8% affiliate)

-    The Company reached agreement on 29 September 2016 to divest its 49.75% shareholding in Aristo to an legal entity owned by Mr. Theodore Aristodemou and his family.

-    The divestment will be effected by way of a sale of 49.75% of the shares in DCI Holdings Two Ltd by DCI Holdings One Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of DCI) for a total cash consideration of €45 million, payable in quarterly instalments over three years and bearing annual interest of 4% in the first year, increasing to 5% and 6% respectively for each of the ensuing two years. A €2 million discount to the total consideration will be granted if the full consideration is settled by 29 December 2016.

-    The sold shares in DCI Holdings Two Ltd will be kept in escrow and transferred to Mr. Aristodemou in line with the collection of the consideration by the Company, apart from a percentage of c. 20% which will remain escrowed until 50% of the payment is received by the Company and c. 10% until the final settlement of the consideration. Potential dividend distributions corresponding to the shares kept on escrow will also remain escrowed. In the event that any payment becomes overdue for more than three months either party has the right to terminate the sales agreement, in which case all the shares kept in escrow together with any corresponding dividend distributions will be retained by Dolphin.

-    Dolphin will also be entitled to a 25% share of any gross proceeds in excess of an implied company equity valuation of €100 million from the sale of any shares of Aristo by the Acquirer until the earlier of six months from the settlement of the full consideration (to the extent such settlement occurs by 29 December 2016) and the second anniversary from the transaction.

-    DCI will continue to be entitled to one seat on the Board of Aristo as long as a minimum of a 10% holding is retained, as well as keeping certain minority protection rights.

-    As at 31 December 2015, DCI's interest in Aristo was carried in DCI's accounts at €189 million. Following the completion of the restructuring arrangement with Bank of Cyprus earlier this year and Aristo's half year losses, this was reduced to €154 million. The divestment resulted in a further impairment charge of €109 million in DCI's financial statements for 30 June 2016, with Aristo now recorded at its recoverable amount of €45 million.

-    Aristo's sales significantly increased during the six month period compared to the respective period in 2015, however the Company incurred operating losses. 

·        Nikki Beach, Porto Heli (a 25% DCI affiliate)

-    The operations improved significantly during 2016 compared to 2015. The expected occupancy for the 2016 operational period is 55% (163 days) compared to 48% for 2015 (169 days), with a net ADR up more than 35% expected at €250 vs €183 last season.

-    At the same time there was a major improvement on the cost side with total expenses down c. 25%.

·        Sitia Bay

-    As announced on 30 June 2016, Dolphin has signed an MoU for the sale of its 78% stake in Sitia Bay for €17.2 million, which was subject to receipt of an initial deposit from the purchaser. The initial deposit was not received, and Dolphin is therefore progressing discussions with other potential purchasers.

·        LaVanta

-    Two additional villas were sold, and one reservation agreement was signed. Upon conversion of the reservation agreement into final contract form, the first phase of LaVanta will be fully sold.

 

 

C.  Market Dynamics

The key points with regard to the tourism industry evolution in Dolphin's basic markets are as follows:

-    In Greece, for the period between January and July 2016, international arrivals rose by 6.4% compared to the same period last year. The Greek Tourism Confederation noted that the surge in last-minute bookings means that there is a strong likelihood that the target set at the start of the year, for an increase of 6% in arrivals over the course of the whole year, can be achieved.

-    In Cyprus, for the period January - July 2016 tourist arrivals totalled 1.74 million compared to 1.45 million in the corresponding period of 2015, recording an increase of 20% as reported by the country's Statistical Service. The most recent estimate for 2016 tourist arrivals is 3.1 million compared with 2.65 million in 2015 and 2.7 million in 2001 which was the last record year.

-    The Dominican Republic continues to be the Caribbean's largest tourist destination. The economy grew robustly in the first half of 2016 and the tourism sector had a strong performance. The period from January to July 2016 saw 6.9% growth in tourist arrivals compared to 2015, reaching over 3.6 million visitors according to the Dominican Republic's Central Bank. The country is projected to reach 6 million total visitors in 2016, thus meeting the targeted 7% growth.

-    Despite the release of the Panama Papers and other challenges, the Panamanian economy is gaining traction and GDP is expected to increase by 5.9% in 2016, the highest rate in the region. The opening of the Canal expansion in late June and the income it will generate will provide further strength to the economy. Over the course of January through June 2016, the total number of visitors was approximately 1.17 million, indicating a 1% increase compared to 2015, based on the data provided by the National Institute of Statistic and Census. Tourist expenditure was US$2.4 billion, representing an increase of 4.4%, compared to the same period of 2015.

The variation in NAV was mainly due to the reduction in the carrying value of Aristo by €35 million from the debt restructuring agreement reached with Bank of Cyprus in June 2016 and half year operating losses, as well as a further €109 million write-down of Aristo's carrying amount to reflect the agreed €45 million sales price. Further analysis of individual revenue and expense items is provided below.

The increase in Hotel Operations and Personnel expenses over the period is due to the opening of Amanera at the end of 2015. The expense relating to the sales of trading and investment properties, is attributable to the delivery of one Amanera villa and one Amanzoe plot to their respective buyers, which triggered the recognition of the corresponding revenue and expense (the carrying value of these properties) in DCI's financial statements.

 

 

 

 

·        Professional Fees

The majority of professional fees related to the design, appraisal, project management and development costs incurred by the Company on its property interests, which are expensed to profit or loss as incurred and not capitalized. The charge for the period was €4.1million (H1 2015: €3.7 million) and comprises the following:

Notes:

1.  Euro/GBP rate 0.82718 as at 30 June 2016 and 0.73693 as at 31 December 2015.

2.  Euro/USD rate 1.1102 as at 30 June 2016 and 1.0887 as at 31 December 2015.

3.  NAV per share has been calculated on the basis of 904,626,856 issued shares as at 30 June 2016 and as at 31 December 2015.

 

Total Group NAV as at 30 June 2016 was €355 million and €317 million before and after DTL respectively. This represents a decrease of €190 million (34.8%) and €164 million (34.1%), respectively, from the respective 31 December 2015 figures. As no valuation of the Company's portfolio took place as at 30 June 2016, the NAV reduction is mainly due to the reduction in value of Aristo whose fair value has been adjusted to reflect the agreed €45 million sales price, Dolphin's regular operational, corporate, finance and management expenses, as well as the devaluation of the Americas properties in Euro terms due to the appreciation of the Euro against the US Dollar by c. 2%.

 

Sterling NAV per share as at 30 June 2016 was 32p before DTL and 29p after DTL and decreased by 26.8 % and 26.0 %, before and after DTL respectively compared to the 31 December 2015 figures. In addition to the factors mentioned above, the NAV per share was affected by a 12.3% appreciation of Euro versus the Sterling.

 

The Company's consolidated assets include €621 million of real estate assets (of which, €66 million are classified as assets held for sale), €45 million of investments in equity accounted investees (to reflect the agreed sale price of the Company's 49.8% interest in Aristo), €18 million of other assets (namely trade and other receivables and available for sale financial assets) and €11 million in cash.

 

The €621 million figure represents the fair market valuation of Dolphin's real estate portfolio for both freehold and long leasehold interests out of which the €66 million figure represents the appraised value of Sitia Bay, Livka Bay, LaVanta and Nikki Beach Resort which are currently classified as assets available for sale. The €15 million of trade and other receivables comprise mainly €3.4 million due from villa buyers and €3.3 million of VAT receivables. Available- for- sale financial assets represents the Company's investment in Itacare Investors Ltd.

 

The Company's consolidated liabilities (excluding DTL and €8 million DTL classified as liabilities held for sale) total €311 million and mainly comprise €218 million of interest-bearing loans and finance lease liabilities (of which, €8 million are classified as liabilities held for sale), out of which €50 million and US$9.17 million Convertible Bonds are held at Company level. The remaining loans are held by Group subsidiaries and are non-recourse to Dolphin (except for the Playa Grande construction loan which is guaranteed by the Company). The €92 million of trade and other payables and deferred revenue comprise mainly €26 million of option contracts to acquire land in the Company's Lavender Bay project, €7 million deferred income from government grants and €24 million of client advances from villa sales.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

1. REPORTING ENTITY

Dolphin Capital Investors Limited (the 'Company') was incorporated and registered in the British Virgin Islands ('BVIs') on 7 June 2005. The Company is a real estate investment company focused on the early-stage, large-scale leisure-integrated residential resorts in south-east Europe and the Americas, and managed by Dolphin Capital Partners Limited (the 'Investment Manager'), an independent private equity management firm that specialises in real estate investments, primarily in south-east Europe. The shares of the Company were admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange ('AIM') on 8 December 2005.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2016 comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the 'Group') and the Group's interests in associates.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group as at and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2016 are available at www.dolphinci.com.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2015. They are presented in euro (€), rounded to the nearest thousand.

The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2015.

Country risk developments

The general economic environment prevailing in the south-east Europe area and internationally may affect the Group's operations. Factors such as inflation, unemployment, public health crises, international trade and development of the gross domestic product directly impact the economy of each country and variation in these and the economic environment in general affect the Group's performance to a certain extent.

The global fundamentals of the sector remained strong during 2015 and the first half 2016, with both international tourism and wealth continuing to grow, even though economic activity in two of the Group's primary markets, Greece and Cyprus, continued to face significant challenges. The business climate is steadily improving in Cyprus assisted by the legislative reforms implemented during the last two years by the Cypriot government.

Greece

After the escalation of the sovereign debt crisis in Greece in mid-2012 and further in late June 2015, when capital controls were imposed and the banking system was closed for more than two weeks, on 15 July 2015, the Greek parliament passed a law including a list of reforms that the Greek Government needed to implement in order to unlock a fresh €82 billion to €86 billion bail-out. The conclusion of this agreement and its implementation by the Greek Government so far, is expected to restore the sustainability of the Greek economy on a long term basis. Since the announcement of the provisional agreement for the third bail out, reservations picked up again and official data released by the Bank of Greece confirmed that 2015 was an all-time record year for Greek tourism. The number of tourism arrivals in Greece expanded 7.1% in 2015 compared to 2014, reaching an all-time high of 23.6 million.

In 2016, for the period between January and July, international arrivals rose by 6.4% against the same period last year. The Greek Tourism Confederation noted that the surge in last-minute bookings means that there is a strong likelihood that the target which the Confederation set at the start of the year, for an increase of 6% in arrivals over the course of the whole year, can be achieved.

Cyprus

Cyprus successfully concluded its three-year European Stability Mechanism ("ESM") financial assistance programme on 31 March 2016. The ESM disbursed €6.3 billion, in addition to around €1 billion in loans from the IMF, out of a loan package of up to €10 billion. The Cypriot authorities did not need the remaining €2.7 billion.

In 2016, for the period January - July 2016, arrivals of tourists totalled 1.74 million compared to 1.45 million in the corresponding period of 2015, recording an increase of 20% as reported by the country's Statistical Service. The last estimate for the 2016 tourist arrivals is 3.1 million compared with 2.65 million in 2015 and 2.7 million in 2001 which was the last record year.

 Significant value is also estimated to be unlocked through the expected zoning of DCI's Apollo Heights Resort, following the agreement reached by the Cypriot and UK governments to permit development of such projects falling within the Sovereign British Areas.

Diluted loss per share

Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the loss attributable to owners and the number of common shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential shares. As of 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2015, the diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share, due to the fact that no dilutive potential ordinary shares were outstanding during these periods.

The average market value of the Company's shares for the purpose of calculating the dilutive effect of warrants and convertible bonds was based on quoted market prices.

15. DISPOSAL GROUPS HELD FOR SALE

Management committed to a plan to sell four properties and associated liabilities, through the sale of their holding companies. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of each of these holding companies are presented as separate disposal groups held for sale. The disposal groups are: Iktinos (owner of 'Sitia Bay') and Porto Heli (owner of 'Nikki Beach') in Greece, Azurna (owner of 'Livka Bay') in Croatia and Kalkan (owner of 'La Vanta') in Turkey. All of the disposal groups are included in the geographical segment of 'South-East Europe' and in the operating segments of 'Hotel & Leisure operations' (Porto Heli), 'Construction & Development' (Kalkan) and 'Other' (Iktinos and Azurna). Efforts to sell the disposal groups continued aiming to complete their sale within the next twelve months.

Impairment losses relating to the disposal group

Impairment losses of €205 thousand (30 June 2015: nil) for write-downs of the disposal groups to the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value less costs to sell have been recognised. The impairment losses have been applied to reduce the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and equity accounted investee.

The above shareholding interest percentages are rounded to the nearest integer.

During the period, the Company's investment in DCI H2, owner of Aristo Developers Limited ('Aristo'), decreased significantly, as a result of a share of loss and an impairment amounting to €34,389 thousand and €109,265 thousand, respectively. The share of loss comprises the result of the loan restructuring arrangement between Aristo and Bank of Cyprus, whereby a loss from the extinguishment of such bank loans emerged through their settlement with property swapped. The impairment loss has been recognized to bring the DCI H2 investment to its recoverable amount of €45 million, which represents the agreed proceeds of the Company from the disposal of its investment on 29 September 2016, as described in note 33, Events after the reporting period.

During 2015, the Company disposed of its participation in Progressive Business Advisors S.A. Also, its management committed to a plan to sell Porto Heli, owner of 'Nikki Beach', in Greece; and the investment in Porto Heli was reclassified to assets held for sale.

28. Related party transactions

In line with the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement, signed in June 2015 and effective from 1 July 2015, the following arrangements came into effect:

Annual fees

The Investment Manager is entitled to an annual management fee defined as follows:

•    for the period from 1 July 2015 to and including 31 December 2015, the annual management fee shall be €1 million per calendar month payable quarterly in advance; and

•    with effect from and including 1 January 2016, the annual management fee shall be €8.5 million payable quarterly in advance.

•    commencing on and with effect from 1 January 2017, the annual management fee payable for the following annual periods will be permanently reduced on 1 January in each year to an amount equal to the lower of:

(i)     1.25% of the gross asset value of the Company calculated as at the last preceding 31 December calculation date; and

(ii)    €8.5 million.

In addition, the Company shall reimburse the Investment Manager for any professional fees or other costs incurred on behalf of the Company for the provision of services or advice.

Performance fees

Core asset incentive fee

The Investment Manager will be entitled to the core asset incentive fee based on the net profits received by the Company from the core assets or the disposal thereof.

Core assets comprise of the following projects: Amanzoe, Kilada Hills, Kea, Pearl Island and Playa Grande. All other assets of the Company are characterised as non-core for the purpose of incentive fee calculations.

The net proceeds will be divided between the Investment Manager and the Company on the following basis:

•    first, 100% to the Company until the Company has received an amount equal to €169.6 million (the 'Aggregate Core Asset Base Value');

•    second, 100% to the Company until the Company has received an amount equal to the core asset capital and costs;

•    third, 100% to the Company until the Company has received an amount equal to the base cost compounded quarterly at the average one-month Euribor rate plus 500 basis points (but capped at a maximum interest rate of 6% per annum);

•    fourth, 60% to the Investment Manager and 40% to the Company until the Investment Manager has received an amount equal to 20% of the net profits then distributed; and

•    thereafter, 20% to the Investment Manager and 80% to the Company such that the Investment Manager shall receive a total core asset incentive fee equivalent to 20% of the net profits.

On the disposal of a core asset, the Investment Manager shall be entitled to receive an advance of the core asset incentive fee on the following basis:

•    where the disposal takes place prior to the date on which the Company shall have first received an amount of net profits from the disposal of core assets equal to, or in excess of, €113,055,360 (the 'Trigger Date'), an amount equal to 6.666% of the net profits received by the Company on the disposal of such core asset; or

•    where the disposal takes place after the Trigger Date, an amount equal to 10% of the net profits received by the Company on the disposal of such core asset, (in each case a 'Core Asset Incentive Fee Advance Payment').

The aggregate value of any core asset incentive fee advance payments will at any time be set off against, and thereby reduce to not less than zero, any liability of the Company to pay core asset incentive fees.

Non-core asset incentive fee

The Investment Manager will be entitled to the non-core asset incentive fee based on the net profits received by the Company from the disposal of any non-core asset. No non-core asset incentive fee will be payable in respect of a non-core asset unless the aggregate disposal proceeds actually received by the Company in respect of such non-core asset exceeds the base value (the 'Payment Condition'). The base value is defined as 65% of the non-core asset value as at 31 December 2014. Subject to satisfaction of the Payment Condition in respect of any non-core asset, the net proceeds actually received by the Company from the disposal of such non-core asset will be divided between the Investment Manager and the Company on the following basis:

•    first, 100% to the Company until the Company has received an amount equal to the base value;

•    second, 12.5% to the Investment Manager and 87.5% to the Company until the net proceeds equal 80% of the base value;

•    third, 17.5% to the Investment Manager and 82.5% to the Company until the net proceeds equal 100% of the base value; and

•    thereafter, 25% to the Investment Manager and 75% to the Company.

50% of each non-core asset incentive fee will be placed in an interest bearing escrow account to be operated by the Company's administrator. Any funds held in this escrow account will be dealt with as follows; commencing on 31 December 2015, in the event that, as at 31 December in each year, the aggregate net proceeds received by the Company in relation to all non-core assets disposed of during the previous 12 month period (the 'Look-back Period'):

•    do not equal or exceed the aggregate of the base values of any non-core assets disposed of during an applicable Look-back Period (the 'Aggregate Base Value') then the Company's administrator will be authorised to repay any escrowed funds to the Company until such time as the Company has received an amount equal to the Aggregate Base Value and thereafter any remaining escrowed funds (if any) will be paid to the Investment Manager; or

•    equal or exceed the Aggregate Base Value then the Company's administrator will be authorised to pay to the Investment Manager the escrowed funds.

Previous arrangements, in force until 30 June 2015, were as follows:

Annual fees

The Investment Manager was entitled to an annual management fee of 2% of the equity funds defined as follows:

•    €890 million; plus

•    The gross proceeds of further equity issues, other than the funds raised in respect of the proceeds of the equity issues as at 25 October 2012 and 30 December 2011; plus

•    Realised net profits less any amounts distributed to shareholders.

The equity funds as at 30 June 2015 comprised €681 million.

In addition, the Company reimbursed the Investment Manager for any professional fees or other costs incurred on behalf of the Company for the provision of services or advice.

Performance fees

The Investment Manager was entitled to a performance fee based on the net profits made by the Company, subject to the Company receiving the 'Relevant Investment Amount' which is defined as an amount equal to:

i    The total cost of the investment reduced on a pro rated basis by an amount of €160.1 million*; plus

ii    A hurdle amount equal to an annualised percentage return equal to the average one-month Euribor rate applicable in the period commencing from the month when the relevant cost was incurred compounded for each year or fraction of a year during which such investment was held (the 'Hurdle'); plus

iii   A sum equal to the amount of any realised losses and/or write-downs in respect of any other investment which has not already been taken into account in determining the Investment Manager's entitlement to a performance fee.

In the event that the Company had received distributions from an investment equal to the Relevant Investment Amount, any subsequent net profits arising should have been distributed in the following order or priority:

i    60% to the Investment Manager and 40% to the Company until the Investment Manager should had received an amount equal to 20% of such profits; and

ii    80% to the Company and 20% to the Investment Manager, such that the Investment Manager should had received a total performance fee equivalent to 20% of the net profits.

* The total cost of investment was reduced in April 2014 by €7.6 million, as compared to the base reduction of €167.7 million, to reflect the loss incurred by the Company through the Pasakoy Yapi ve Turizm A.S. ('Pasakoy') sale transaction, as calculated in accordance with the Investment Management Agreement provisions and definitions.

The payment of the clawback was subject to the maximum amount payable by the Investment Manager not exceeding the aggregate performance fees (net of tax) previously received by the Investment Manager in relation to other investments.
