YOUR CHAIRMAN'S LETTER 
 
Dear Shareholder, 
 
SIX MONTHS TO 30 APRIL 2016 
 
We had a better Christmas and New Year season than the previous year, which got 
the sales off to a good start for the half year, but the improvement did not 
continue through to the spring, so that the sales increase for the six months 
to 30 April 2016 was restricted to 1.2% to GBP1,325,291 (reduction in the six 
months to 30 April 2015 of 2.78% to GBP1,309,051). This was partly attributable 
to the management adjustments necessitated by the departure of the former 
general manager during the period, and partly to the consumer caution brought 
on by the impending referendum on the United Kingdom's membership of the 
European Community.  With so many potential economic changes engendered by the 
result of the referendum, it is too early to assess what impact this will have 
on the company's business in the longer term. 
 
The overall result for the six months to 30 April 2016 was a reduction in the 
loss to GBP98,640 compared to the loss in the six months to 30 April 2015 of GBP 
166,694. This relative improvement was helped by a 1.56% increase in the gross 
profit percentage for the half year (0.04% improvement in the half year to 30 
April 2015). Staff costs reduced by 2.26% (half year to 30 April 2015 7.10% 
increase) which was a good outcome given the National Living Wage was 
introduced during the period. Overheads reduced by 3.89% (half year to 30 April 
2015 1.06% increase), helped by the deferral of refurbishment projects pending 
the appointment of a new general manager.  I wish to thank our management team 
for achieving this result while coping with the changes in responsibilities 
occasioned by the loss of the general manager part way through the period. 
 
I am pleased to say that Jonathan Owen joined us as general manager during May 
2016 from his previous employment at Hand Picked Hotels, and has identified and 
started to implement some necessary operational changes. The board will be 
reviewing his strategic plans for the hotel later in the year once he has 
completed his detailed assessment of the business and formulated proposals for 
consideration by the board. In the meantime Mr Owen will be pleased to meet 
shareholders who visit the hotel, and is offering shareholders the opportunity 
for the remainder of the financial year to 31 October 2016 to book their 
private functions without any charge for room hire. Your booking will also 
benefit from the shareholders' discount scheme. If you wish to discuss this 
offer please visit the hotel, call the hotel on 01323 720643, or send an email 
to jonathan.owen@hydrohotel.com. 
 
Our 2016 full year accounts will be the first prepared under the new UK 
accounting standard FRS 102. The transitional period for adoption of FRS 102 
commenced on 1 November 2014 and comparative numbers, for the year ended 31 
October 2015 and 30 April 2015, have been restated to comply with the new 
standard and are explained in note 5 to these accounts. 
 
Yours sincerely,

HYDRO HOTEL, EASTBOURNE, PLC 
 
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS 
 
1  The results are prepared under the new accounting standard FRS 102. The 31 
   October 2015 full year accounts were audited but, as the adjustments made to 
   comply with FRS 102 have not been audited, the above statements show these 
   results as being unaudited. 
 
2  The earnings per share are based on a loss of GBP98,640 (2015 loss GBP166,694) 
   being the loss on ordinary activities after taxation. 
 
3  The movement in retained Profit and Loss account reserves from GBP2,267,860 at 
   31 October 2015 to GBP2,061,220 at 30 April 2016 includes the loss for the 
   period and dividends of GBP108,000 (GBP36,000 paid in the period and GBP72,000 
   accrued). 
 
4  Creditors, amounts falling due within one year, include a dividend for the 
   year ended 31 October 2015 declared by the directors and paid on 5 May 2016 
   at the rate of 12p per share of GBP72,000 (2015 12p per share GBP72,000). 
 
5  The Reconciliation of Prior Year Balances shows the impact of the transition 
   to the new accounting standard, FRS 102, on figures disclosed in these 
   Interim Accounts. 
 
6  A copy of the interim report and accounts and the Chairman's statement 
   thereto, which were approved by the Board of Directors on 12 July 2016, will 
   be posted to all registered shareholders shortly thereafter. 
 
7  The financial information set out above does not constitute statutory 
   accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.  Statutory
