30 June 2016

DOLPHIN CAPITAL INVESTORS LIMITED

("DCI" or "Dolphin" or the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries the "Group")

Annual Financial Results for the year ended 31 December 2015 and Trading Update

Dolphin Capital, a leading investor in high-end residential resorts in the eastern Mediterranean, Dominican Republic and Panama, listed on the London Stock Exchange AIM market, is pleased to announce results for the year ended 31 December 2015 and to provide a Trading Update on its operations.

Key points:

-- Gross Assets of EUR911 million (2014: EUR1,006 million), including Dolphin's share of Aristo Developers' (Aristo) deferred tax liabilities (DTL).

-- Total Group Net Asset Value of EUR545 million before DTL of EUR63 million (2014: EUR644 million)

o NAV reduction principally due to EUR55 million reduction in Greek asset values, EUR44 million arising from DCI's 49.8% share of losses from its interest in Aristo, a further EUR22 million impairment charge in other territories, and financial and operating expenses.

o Impact partly offset by the capital increase of EUR73.5 million, net of expenses, in June 2015 and by the appreciation of the Americas properties due to the devaluation of the Euro against the Dollar by around 11.5%.

-- Sterling NAV per share before DTL of 44p (2014: 78p) mainly driven by issuance of 262,186,689 new common shares at 21p, the other factors mentioned above and by a 5.8% appreciation of Sterling versus the Euro.

   --      Revenues of EUR51.9 million (2014: EUR41.2 million). 

-- Total Debt of EUR232 million (2014: EUR240 million) with a Group total debt to gross asset ratio of 26%. The remaining US$16.7 million of the 2016 Convertible Bonds, which matured on 31 March 2016, were repaid in full.

-- Aristo reached a final agreement for the swap of its total c. EUR283 million debt with Bank of Cyprus, in exchange for certain Aristo assets (including most of its Venus Rock project), a transaction that will leave Aristo with c.EUR443 million of assets and c. EUR110 million of debt.

-- Unrestricted cash as of 31 December 2015: EUR37.9 million. As of 31 May 2016, unrestricted cash was approximately EUR7 million and additional restricted cash for use only towards the development of the Amanzoe project was approximately EUR4.1 million.

-- To improve the liquidity position of the Group, the Company is considering proposals for credit facilities. If completed, these are expected to provide adequate liquidity for the Company's activities until at least December 2017.

-- Additionally, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed for the sale of the Company's 78% holding in Sitia Bay for EUR17.2 million, a transaction which, if completed, would provide further liquidity to the Group.

-- Working with Houlihan Lokey on strategies to maximise shareholder value and to improve liquidity, including joint ventures, divestments and project fundings.

Commenting, Andrew Coppel, the recently appointed non-executive chairman of Dolphin's Board of Directors, said:

"2015 was a transformational year for DCI with significant changes to the Board of Directors, the adoption of a new and refocused strategy, the restructuring of the Management Agreement with Dolphin Capital Partners ("DCP"), a EUR75 million equity fundraising and the milestone opening of Amanera in the Dominican Republic.

"The Board of Directors is focused on the implementation of the Company's strategy and is working with DCP to robustly manage the operations, accelerate villa sales, generate value from asset divestments, increase working capital and develop its core projects through joint venture agreements and/or project financing.

There is much yet to achieve but we believe that our highly attractive portfolio has significant potential for value creation over the medium term."

Miltos Kambourides, Founder of Dolphin and Managing Partner of DCP, said:

"The escalation of the Greek sovereign debt and banking crises in mid-2015 largely affected the revaluation of the portfolio this year, although this was partially offset by the diversification of our portfolio and the permitting and development advancements achieved during the year, including the opening of Amanera in November 2015 which was an important milestone in the Company's evolution.

Our focus remains on maximising value for the shareholders, through securing funding for the next phases of Kilada Hills Golf Resort, Kea Resort and Pearl Island and the monetisation of our non-core assets."

A. Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to report Dolphin's annual results for the year ended 31 December 2015.

2015 was a transformational year for DCI with significant changes to the Company's Board of Directors, the adoption of a new refocused strategy, the restructuring of the management agreement with DCP, a EUR75 million equity fundraising and the opening of Amanera in the Dominican Republic.

On 1 March 2016, following the resignations of Laurence Geller, David Heller and Justin Rimmel, I was appointed as the Independent Non-Executive Chairman. Currently, the Board consists of five members and a search process to recruit an additional independent non-executive director to further strengthen the Board is underway.

The Board and the Investment Manager are working together to generate returns from the business strategy, increase working capital and accelerate shareholders' returns through the development and monetization of assets. The monetisation process for the Non-Core Assets progresses and we are confident we will achieve tangible results during 2016.

In February this year, Houlihan Lokey was retained to advise and assist the Company in exploring all strategic options, maximise shareholder value and to improve liquidity. Houlihan Lokey's mandate includes potential JV and divestment transactions with regard to Core Projects and exploring financing alternatives and initiatives to secure funding required for developing our Core Development Projects, namely Kilada Hills Golf Resort, Kea Resort and Pearl Island.

The opening of Amanera, the first Aman golf-integrated resort in the world, marked a notable milestone for Dolphin. We are pleased with the quality of the development, which has set a new benchmark for luxury resorts in the Caribbean. We remain cognisant of the fact that our two largest operating projects, Amanzoe and Amanera, depend heavily on the realization of villa sales to become self-sustainable financially and meet their financing cost obligations. Accordingly, we have sought to increase the velocity of villa sales through an enhanced emphasis on sales and marketing initiatives at both projects. We are satisfied that the measures will deliver positive results.

As at 31 December 2015 our audited NAV before DTL was EUR545 million, representing a 15.4% decrease from 31 December 2014. The NAV per share before DTL in Euro terms was EUR0.60, representing a 39.9% decrease from 31 December 2014, mainly due to the dilutive effect of the June capital raise and the full revaluation of the Company's portfolio which resulted in a significant accounting loss of 18c per share. The results of this valuation reflect the challenging market conditions in Greece and Cyprus.

The Group retains a strong asset position with EUR911 million of gross assets and EUR232 million of borrowings as at 31 December 2015 resulting in a 26% leverage ratio.

The divestment processes for certain of Dolphin's Non-Core Assets, comprising Nikki Beach, Sitia Bay, Livka Bay and La Vanta continues, with the assistance of Savills and other real estate agents. In the context of this process, Dolphin has signed an MoU for the sale of its 78% stake in Sitia Bay. If completed, the transaction consideration of EUR17.2 million is in line with the valuation carried out at 31 December 2015 and the Company's equity investment in this project. Completion and receipt of the full proceeds is expected to occur within Q3 2016.

The Company has received proposals for credit facilities that, if concluded, will create liquidity for the Company's activities until at least December 2017. The Board is reviewing the proposals to determine the most appropriate source and terms of financing.

On 29 June 2016, Aristo reached a final agreement with the Bank of Cyprus for a substantial debt-for-asset swap. This transaction leads to the settlement of Aristo's total debt with Bank of Cyprus, currently comprising c. EUR283 million, in exchange for certain Aristo assets (including most of its Venus Rock project) leaving Aristo with c. EUR443 million of assets and c. EUR110 million of debt. This will also reduce its annual interest costs by at least EUR16 million and safeguard Aristo's healthy position in the Cypriot real estate market going forward. Further details of this agreement, are set out in section B.5. of the report.

Further details on the financial performance of the Company during the period are included in the Financial Position section C of the report. We are monitoring geopolitical changes and events that could have an impact on our business, such as the Brexit, and we will make adjustments in our product and strategy as required. We are confident that demand for luxury villas and hotels will remain a growing trend over the medium term.

We remain committed to generating value through the active management of operations, construction, villa sales and asset divestments while leveraging opportunities to expand the Company's revenue sources, in order to maximise value for shareholders.

B. Investment Manager's Report

   B.1.   Business Overview 

During 2015, we continued the development of our Core Projects (ranging from villa sales and construction to advancing zoning and permitting), and commenced a formal process to monetise Non-Core Assets and explore joint venture options and/or divestment transactions for the Core Projects.

The opening of Amanera in November 2015 was an important milestone in the Company's evolution, representing its second villa-integrated luxury resort to come to market. Amanera has attracted significant focus and attention from the international media and serves as a showcase of Dolphin's development capabilities in the Caribbean.

Following the successful completion of the EUR75 million equity raise in June 2015, we have concentrated on implementing the Company's refocused strategy. Our actions can be summarised as follows:

1. Managed the business through extraordinary economic and political conditions in Greece, which included the imposition of capital controls, while maintaining seamless operations for both the Amanzoe and Nikki Beach resorts. In particular, the Amanzoe hotel Net Operating Income (NOI) doubled in 2015 to EUR1.2 million, compared to 2014, and further improvement is expected in 2016.

   2.    Completed the development of Amanera, which opened in November 2015, as scheduled. 

3. Executed six final contracts or reservation agreements for the sale of Villas and Villa plots in Amanzoe and Amanera in 2015.

4. Signed an MOU with an investor for the divestment of the Company's interest in Sitia Bay at a sales valuation in line with the asset NAV as at 31 December 2015 and progressed the marketing of certain of the Non-Core Assets with Savills and other agents.

5. Reached a final agreement with the Bank of Cyprus for the settlement of Aristo's total debt of EUR283 million with Bank of Cyprus in exchange for certain Aristo assets.

6. Restructured the Apollo Heights and Livka Bay debt facilities to reprofile and defer debt service instalments and achieved improved financing terms for the Amanzoe senior loan with Piraeus Bank.

7. Disposal of Zoniro (Greece), DCI's in-house project management arm together with associated assets and liabilities, to its local management team - independent of DCP - which resulted in cash savings to Dolphin of c. EUR7.2 million for the period until the end of 2016 and a NAV uplift of EUR0.8 million.

8. Collected EUR3.9 million of subsidies in relation to Amanzoe from the Greek Ministry of Development.

9. Adopted an increasingly focused residential sales and marketing plan, including agreements with new dedicated agents for each of Amanzoe and Amanera, several activities and on site events, alongside an accompanying PR plan and the expansion of the local sales and marketing teams to increase sales velocity at Amanera and Amanzoe.

We continue to challenge ourselves regarding the implementation of the refocused strategy, including improving our sales and marketing strategy to increase the pace of Villa sales, and we are in a number of discussions regarding Non-Core Asset disposals and Core Projects funding. We are confident that one or more of these should conclude into tangible transactions in the near term.

   B.2.   Portfolio Review 
   B.2.1.   Core Projects 
   --        Amanzoe, Greece (www.amanzoe.com) 

- The 2015 Amanzoe hotel performance continued to improve compared to 2014. Occupancy for the year was 57%, representing a 5% increase compared to 2014, with an ADR of EUR1,229 (2014: EUR1,257), while the NOI doubled to EUR1.2 million.

- Amanzoe initiated operations for the 2016 season on 1 April 2016, as scheduled, with seven Villas in the rental programme. Bookings for the season are currently higher than at the same period last year.

- 4 units were sold during 2015 bringing the total number of units sold/reserved to 15. In April 2016 Sotheby's International Realty was hired as a marketing and sales agent for the Villas at Amanzoe, complementing a more targeted PR plan and expansion of the local Sales and Marketing teams in an effort to accelerate Villa sales during 2016.

- An improvement was also achieved in the terms of the Amanzoe senior loan with Piraeus Bank. This resulted in a 1.1% interest rate reduction and the reactivation of a VAT revolver facility of up to EUR3.5 million in total which will further improve working capital.

- Amanzoe continues to receive outstanding reviews. American Express Travel awarded the Amanzoe Spa "the most zen spa in the world" award. The Spa is also included in the yearly edition of the 2016 CNT (UK) Spa Guide, won "the best Spa in Eastern Europe" award in the Annual Professional Spa & Wellness Awards 2016, and benefited from extensive coverage in a dedicated article in the London Evening Standard. Singapore Tatler included Amanzoe Villas in the 10 most luxurious homes in the world, and The Gallivanter's Guide named Amanzoe the second Best European Resort. At the same time, extensive targeted coverage on Villa 20, the largest Villa in the Aman portfolio, included Forbes calling it the most exclusive new villa in Greece. Departures introduced it among the 15 best new openings of the season.

   --        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 46.2% and US$ 1,681 respectively during the first five months of 2016. These results are satisfactory in view of the start-up phase of the resort and the effect of the Zika outbreak on the tourist industry in the region.

- The hotel will close down from 26 August to 31 October this year, which is the lowest season in the Caribbean, in order to implement a number of improvements that have been identified since the opening.

- Construction of the previously sold Founder Villas commenced in September 2015, and the first two-bedroom villa was completed as scheduled in December 2015.

- In order to increase the sales velocity of the 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 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 in coming months.

- The Amanera hotel has received accolades from a number of 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 experts and extensive coverage including articles in Golf Week, Golf Digest and Discover Golf.

   --        Kilada Hills Golf Resort, Greece 

- The presidential decree approving the Strategic Investment Proposal was issued on 16 December 2015. Kilada Hills is the first project in Greece to receive such an approval, permitting the construction of 207,000 m(2) in a private masterplan, with flexible product mix including lots and without the requirement to construct a hotel before commencing the residential product sales.

- The updated masterplan, prepared by Hart Howerton, that incorporates the new Strategic Investment favourable zoning was completed in April 2016. The detailed urban plan was submitted on 8 June 2016. Approval is expected prior to the end of 2016 and would allow for the sale of individual lots on a freehold basis.

- In parallel to the design and permitting activities, external consulting firms have been appointed to evaluate the project's residential pricing and prepare a residential offering proposal to a first set of Founder Golf Villa buyers, to facilitate the external funding of the first phase. This will include a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, a golf clubhouse, more than 250 Golf Villas/lots for sale and a beach club.

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

- In Pearl Island, a private island located in the Archipelago de las Perlas, the Zoniro (Panama) development team completed the Ritz Carlton Reserve detailed design phase and value engineering to ensure that the development budget can be achieved. Plans are being finalised for construction, which is subject to the Company obtaining the requisite equity financing.

- The project arranged debt financing of US$33 million which has not yet been drawn down. The Company recently appointed CBRE Capital Advisors to assist in raising around US$33 million of additional equity required and is progressing discussions on that front.

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

- The Founder's Phase has already sold or reserved 115 residential units consisting of high-end lots, villas and condo apartments for a total sum of US$91 million. 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 25 marina berths / slips.

   --        Kea Resort, Greece 

- On 6 April 2015, Kea Resort received its final construction permit, following the issuance of a Construction Approval (the first of a two stage Construction Permit process which was recently enacted in Greece on 12 February 2015).

- In order to secure third party financing for the construction of its Core Projects under development, the Company is in 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.   Aristo (a 49.8% affiliate) 
   --        Operating Performance 

- Aristo sold 70 homes and plots during 2015, representing total sales of EUR31 million, up 36% compared to 2014.

- The average sales price per unit was 65% higher on a year-on-year basis, reflecting the shift to the higher value "visa/residence" and "passport" eligible properties, a market driven by incentive legislation enacted in Cyprus and actively targeted by Aristo's sales and marketing teams.

- Strong sales momentum continues in 2016, with 56 homes and plots sales during the first six months of 2016, representing total sales of EUR21.5 million, up 9% compared to the respective period in 2015.

- Aristo continues to expand its distribution channels. A new sales office initiated operations in Egypt recently, while agreements with several new agents have been signed aiming to establish Aristo as a major provider of Cyprus residential permit related product in China.

   --        Debt Restructuring 
   -     Aristo has concluded an agreement with the Bank of Cyprus for a debt-for-asset swap. 

- This transaction will result in the settlement of Aristo's total debt with Bank of Cyprus, currently comprising c. EUR283 million in exchange for certain Aristo assets (including most of its Venus Rock project) with a total book value of c. EUR382 million as at 31 December 2015. The impact of this transaction on Dolphin's share of Aristo NAV is a further reduction of c. EUR34 million to the 31 December 2015 reported NAV (3.75c per share).

- Aristo's NAV post restructuring will amount to c. EUR304 million (based on 31 December 2015 valuations). Aristo will continue managing the Venus Rock Golf Course for a minimum of 6 months and will retain an earn-out interest in the project, subject to the terms and conditions agreed in the relevant restructuring agreement.

- This fundamental refinancing plan, in addition to reducing Aristo's overall debt by EUR283 million to an amount of c. EUR110 million, eliminates annual interest costs of at least EUR16 million and safeguards Aristo's sustainability and ability to generate strong operating cashflows from its healthy position in the Cypriot real estate market going forward.

- In addition during 2015, Aristo also completed loan restructurings with Alpha Bank, CDB and Piraeus Bank, which included a debt-for-asset swap for a loan amount of approximately EUR12.1 million.

   --        Other Developments 

- The Consortium "Poseidon Grand Marina of Paphos", in which Aristo participates as joint largest stakeholder with a 25.5% stake, has been confirmed by the Supreme Court of Cyprus as the successful tenderer for the Paphos Marina. This high profile project will comprise of a 1,000 berth marina and over 40,000 m(2) of premium leisure and residential development. The commencement of development of this project remains subject to securing equity and debt financing.

   B.2.3.   Other Non-Core Assets 

Other Non-Core Assets updates include the following:

   --        Sitia Bay Resort, Crete (www.sitiabayresort.com) 

- The Council of State accepted the draft Presidential Decree for the residential zone in Sitia Bay, and forwarded the relevant decision to the Ministry of Environment for final issuance on 11 January 2016. Once that is issued the project will be legally entitled to sell residential lots independently from the resort development for which the permits are already in place.

- The new expanded Sitia International Airport, only a ten-minute drive from the project site, was inaugurated on 13 January 2016 and is expected to further encourage tourist development in the area.

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

- Nikki Beach opened for the season as scheduled on 28 April 2016 with current bookings for the season significantly higher than those at the same time last year. Momentum is positive and the Nikki Beach operator remains confident that for 2016, the hotel's second full operating year, the resort will be able to generate operating profits.

   --        Apollo Heights Resort, Cyprus 

- Agreed the restructuring of the Apollo loan with Bank of Cyprus which will result in a total EUR3.1 million saving to the Company until Q3 2018, following the decrease of the interest rate to 3-months Euribor plus 5%. The restructured facility is now maturing at 31 December 2018, while the original Apollo loan matured in December 2021.

   --        Livka Bay, Croatia 

- For Livka Bay the existing debt facility has been restructured, which resulted in an interest rate reduction from 7.25% to 4.25% and the loan maturity extended for three years to June 2018.

   B.3.   Market Dynamics 

-- According to the Knight Frank Wealth Report for 2016 there are now more than 13 million millionaires across the globe, up from 8.7 million in 2005, holding net assets worth around US$66 trillion - more than the value of all global equities.

-- Over the next decade more than one million new millionaires are expected to be created in each of the world's three main regional wealth hubs - Asia (+1.6m), North America (+1.4m) and Europe (+1m). However, at a country level, the US is in front with 1.25 million millionaires set to be created, compared with 490,500 in China, 253,500 in the UK and 247,800 in India. By 2025 the global population of millionaires will be more than 18 million.

-- The multi-millionaire ($10m+) population stands at 509,170 and is expected to increase by 39% by 2025 to 710,000. Interestingly, the report further notes that Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals (UHNWIs), those with US$30m or more in net assets, invest approximately 25 percent of their wealth in residential real estate and own on average 3.7 homes.

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

- In Greece, official data released by the Bank of Greece confirmed that 2015 was an all-time record year for Greek tourism.

*A revaluation loss of approx. EUR5 million was charged directly to equity (reduction of revaluation reserve)

** A revaluation loss of approx. EUR8 million was charged directly to equity (reduction of revaluation reserve)

The valuation of the Greek projects was mainly affected by the escalation of the sovereign debt crisis and the Greek banking crisis in mid-2015. In the case of the Lavender Bay Resort the significant valuation reduction was also triggered as a result of the general Greek market issues, as well as from a fall in the pricing of comparable land parcels in the area. However, there were valuation gains in Kea Resort (due to permitting advances) and Amanzoe (due to permitting and operational advancements). The valuation of the Cypriot projects was reduced mainly due to comparable evidence found. The Playa Grande valuation decreased mainly due to comparable evidence found and the change of the valuation method used for the golf course land, partially offset by operational advancements.

The Company's share of Aristo's losses that arose from the revaluation of Aristo's properties and respective impairment charges amounted to EUR35 million and is included as part of the share of (losses)/profits on equity accounted investees in the profit and loss statement.

   B.6.   Future Objectives 

Our main objectives for 2016 are to:

1. Maximise value for shareholders and generate liquidity through the monetization of assets, secure additional working capital, and increase sales velocity of villas;

2. Secure funding for the development of the remaining Core Assets; and,

3. Where appropriate, advance the zoning, permitting, design and branding of the Non-Core Assets to improve their sales potential and actively pursue their divestment.

Notes:

   1.   Euro/GBP rate 0.73693 as at 31 December 2015 and 0.78247 as at 31 December 2014. 
   2.   Euro/USD rate 1.0887 as at 31 December 2015 and 1.2141 as at 31 December 2014. 

3. NAV per share has been calculated on the basis of 904,626,856 issued shares as at 31 December 2015 and 642,440,167 issued shares as at 31 December 2014.

4. NAV before DTL include the 49.8% DTL of Aristo and the DTL of the projects classified as held for sale.

* Total NAV variation percentages have been calculated using the proforma consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2014 (adjusted for the effect of June 2015 equity fund raising)

Total Group NAV as at 31 December 2015 was EUR545 million and EUR482 million before and after DTL respectively. This represents a decrease of EUR172 million (24.1%) and EUR149 million (23.7%), respectively, from the respective pro forma 31 December 2014 figures. The NAV reduction is mainly due to the valuation losses and impairment charges both relating to Company's assets and to its 49.8% shareholding in Aristo, as well as Dolphin's regular fixed operational, corporate, finance and management expenses.

Sterling NAV per share as at 31 December 2015 was 44p before DTL and 39p after DTL and decreased by 43.4% and 42.2%, before and after DTL respectively compared to the 31 December 2014 figures. In addition to the valuation decreases and operational expenses mentioned above, the NAV per share was affected by the issuance of 262,186,689 new common shares at 21p in June 2015 and the 5.8% appreciation of Sterling versus Euro over the period.

The Company's consolidated assets include EUR635 million of real estate assets (of which, EUR70 million are classified as assets held for sale), EUR189 million of investments in equity accounted investees (the Company's 49.8% interest in Aristo), EUR19 million of other assets (namely trade and other receivables and available for sale financial assets) and EUR42 million in cash.

The balance of property, plant and equipment, investment property, trading properties and assets held for sale represents the independent property valuations conducted as at 31 December 2015 by American Appraisal (for the Greek and Cypriot projects), Colliers International (for Croatia and Turkey) and PKF (for the Americas projects), for both freehold and long leasehold interests. The EUR70 million figure represents the appraised value of Sitia Bay, Livka Bay, La Vanta and Nikki Beach Resort which are currently classified as assets available for sale. The EUR16 million of trade and other receivables comprise mainly EUR7 million of payables due from villa buyers and EUR4 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 EUR8 million DTL classified as liabilities held for sale) total EUR331 million and mainly comprise EUR235 million of interest-bearing loans and finance lease obligations (of which, EUR9 million are classified as liabilities held for sale), out of which EUR50 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 EUR96 million of trade and other payables and deferred revenue comprise mainly EUR25 million of option contracts to acquire land in the Company's Lavender Bay project, EUR7 million deferred income from government grants and EUR22 million of client advances from villa sales.

   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 consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2015 comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the 'Group') and the Group's interests in associates.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2015 are available at www.dolphinci.com.

   2.      basis of preparation 
   a.      Statement of compliance 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as adopted by the European Union ('EU').

The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 29 June 2016.

   b.      Basis of measurement 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of property (investment property, property, plant and equipment), available-for-sale financial assets, which are stated at their fair values, assets and liabilities held for sale, which are stated at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell and investments in associates, which are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting.

   c.      Adoption of new and revised standards and interpretations 

As from 1 January 2015, the Group adopted all changes to IFRS which are relevant to its operations. This adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2015. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early. Although, the Group continues to assess the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements resulting from the application of the following standards, it currently expects that their adoption in future periods will not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

   (i)   Standards and interpretations adopted by the EU 

-- Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2015).

These amendments impact seven standards. The amendments to IFRS 2 amend the definitions of 'vesting condition' and 'market condition' and add definitions for 'performance condition' and 'service condition' that previously formed part of the definition of 'vesting condition'. The amendments to IFRS 3 clarify that contingent consideration which is classified as an asset or a liability should be measured at fair value at each reporting date. The amendments to IFRS 8, require disclosure of judgements made by management in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments. They also clarify that an entity is only required to provide reconciliations of the total of the reportable segments' assets to the entity's assets if the segment assets are reported regularly. Amendments to IFRS 13 clarify that issuing IFRS 13 and amending IFRS 9 and IAS 39 did not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate at their invoice amounts without discounting if the effect of not discounting is immaterial. The amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 clarify that when an item of property, plant and equipment or an intangible asset is revalued, the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount. Finally, the amendments to IAS 24 clarify that when an entity is providing key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity it is considered a related party of the reporting entity.

-- IAS 1 (Amendments): Disclosure Initiative (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016).

The amendments introduce changes in various areas. In relation to materiality the amendments clarify that information should not be obscured by aggregating or by providing immaterial information, that materiality considerations apply to all parts of the financial statements, and even when a standard requires a specific disclosure, materiality considerations do apply. In relation to the statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the amendments clarify that the list of line items to be presented in these statements can be disaggregated and aggregated as relevant and provide additional guidance on subtotals in these statements. They also clarify that an entity's share of other comprehensive income of equity-accounted associates and joint ventures should be presented in aggregate as single line items based on whether or not it will subsequently be reclassified to profit or loss. In relation to the notes to the financial statements the amendments add additional guidance of ordering the notes so as to clarify that understandability and comparability should be considered when determining the order of the notes in order to demonstrate that the notes need not be presented in the order so far listed in paragraph 114 of IAS 1.

-- Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016).

The amendments include the following: IFRS 5 was amended to clarify that changes in the manner of disposal (reclassification from 'held for sale' to 'held for distribution' or vice versa) does not constitute a change to a plan of sale or distribution, and does not have to be accounted for as such. The amendment to IFRS 7 adds guidance to help management determine whether the terms of an arrangement to service a financial asset which has been transferred constitute continuing involvement, for the purposes of disclosures required by IFRS 7. IAS 34 will require a cross reference from the interim financial statements to the location of information disclosed elsewhere in the interim financial report.

-- IAS 16 and IAS 38 (Amendments) 'Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016).

In this amendment, the IASB has clarified that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation of an asset is not appropriate because revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the asset. However, in relation to intangible assets, the IASB stated that there are limited circumstances when the presumption can be overcome. This is applicable when the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue and it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated.

(ii) Standards and interpretations not adopted by the EU

-- IAS 7 (Amendments) 'Disclosure Initiative' (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017).

The amendments are intended to clarify IAS 7 and improve information provided to users for an entity's financing activities. The amendments will require that the following changes in liabilities arising from financing activities are disclosed (to the extent necessary): (a) changes from financing cash flows; (b) changes arising from obtaining or losing control of subsidiaries or other businesses; (c) the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates; (d) changes in fair values; and (e) other changes.

-- IAS 12 (Amendments) 'Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses' (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017).

The amendments will give clarifications in relation to the recognition of a deferred tax asset that is related to a debt instrument measured at fair value. Additionally, it clarifies that the carrying amount of an asset does not limit the estimation of probable future taxable profits and that estimates for future taxable profits exclude tax deductions resulting from the reversal of deductible temporary differences. Further, it clarifies that an entity assesses a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets. Finally, where tax law restricts the utilisation of tax losses, an entity would assess a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets of the same type.

-- IFRS 15 'Revenue from contracts with customers' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018).

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 'Revenue', IAS 11 'Construction Contracts' and IFRIC 13 'Customer Loyalty Programs'.

-- IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018).

IFRS 9 replaces the existing guidance in IAS 39. IFRS 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from IAS 39.

   --      IFRS 16 'Leases' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). 

IFRS 16 will supersede IAS 17 and related interpretations. The new standard will bring most leases on-balance sheet for lessees under a single model, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Lessor accounting however will remain largely unchanged and the distinction between operating and finance leases is retained.

   d.      Use of estimates and judgements 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires from Management the exercise of judgement, to make estimates and assumptions that influence the application of accounting principles and the related amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are deemed to be reasonable based on knowledge available at that time. Actual results may deviate from such estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements are described below:

Work in progress

Work in progress is stated at cost plus any attributable profit less any foreseeable losses and less amounts received or receivable as progress payments. The cost of work in progress includes materials, labour and direct expenses plus attributable overheads based on a normal level of activity. The Group uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each statement of financial position date.

Revenue recognition

The Group applies the provisions of IAS18 for accounting for revenue from sale of developed property, under which income and cost of sales are recognised upon delivery and when substantially all risks have been transferred to the buyer.

Provision for bad and doubtful debts

The Group reviews its trade and other receivables for evidence of their recoverability. Such evidence includes the customer's payment record and the customer's overall financial position. If indications of irrecoverability exist, the recoverable amount is estimated and a respective provision for bad and doubtful debts is made. The amount of the provision is charged through profit or loss. The review of credit risk is continuous and the methodology and assumptions used for estimating the provision are reviewed regularly and adjusted accordingly.

Taxation

Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for taxation. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income taxand deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Measurement of fair values

A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments are regularly reviewed and changes in fair value measurements from period to period are analysed.

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

   --    Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 

-- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

-- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

   e.      Functional and presentation currency 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro (EUR), which is the Company's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.

   3.      Determination of fair values 

Properties

The fair value of investment property and land and buildings classified as property, plant and equipment is determined at the end of each reporting period. External, independent valuation companies, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of the properties being valued, value the Group's properties at the end of each year and where necessary, semi-annually and quarterly.

The Directors have appointed Colliers International, American Appraisal (Hellas) and PKF Consulting USA, three internationally recognised firms of surveyors, to conduct valuations of the Group's acquired properties to determine their fair value. These valuations are prepared in accordance with generally accepted appraisal standards, as set out by the American Society of Appraisers (the 'ASA'), and in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Foundation and the Principles of Appraisal Practice and Code of Ethics of the ASA and the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors ('RICS'). Furthermore, the valuations are conducted on an 'as is condition' and on an open market comparative basis.

The valuation analysis of properties is based on all the pertinent market factors that relate both to the real estate market and, more specifically, to the subject properties. The valuation analysis of a property typically uses four approaches: the cost approach, the direct sales comparison approach, the income approach and the residual value approach. The cost approach measures value by estimating the Replacement Cost New or the Reproduction Cost New of property and then determining the deductions for accrued depreciation that should be made to reflect the age, condition and situation of the asset during its past and proposed future economic working life. The direct sales comparison approach is based on the premise that persons in the marketplace buy by comparison. It involves acquiring market sales/offerings data on properties similar to the subject property. The prices of the comparables are then adjusted for any dissimilar characteristics as compared to the subject's characteristics. Once the sales prices are adjusted, they can be reconciled to estimate the fair value for the subject property. Based on the income approach, an estimate is made of prospective economic benefits of ownership. These amounts are discounted and/or capitalised at appropriate rates of return in order to provide an indication of value. The residual value approach is used for the valuation of the land and depends on two basic factors: the location and the total value of the buildings developed on a site. Under this approach, the residual value of the land is calculated by subtracting from the estimated sales value of the completed development, the development cost.

Each of the above-mentioned valuation techniques results in a separate valuation indication for the subject property. Then a reconciliation process is performed to weigh the merits and limiting conditions of each approach. Once this is accomplished, a value conclusion is reached by placing primary weight on the technique, or techniques, that are considered to be the most reliable, given all factors.

Financial assets

The fair value of financial assets that are listed on a stock exchange is determined by reference to their quoted bid price at the reporting date. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm's length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same and discounted cash flow analysis, making maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity specific inputs. Equity investments for which fair values cannot be measured reliably are recognised at cost less impairment.

Trade and other receivables

The fair value of trade and other receivables, excluding construction work in process, is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

Non-derivative financial liabilities

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. For finance leases, the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease agreements.

Equity-settled share-based payment arrangements

The fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements are measured at grant date using the Trinomial Tree Option Pricing Model and Monte Carlo simulations. Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the arrangements are not taken into account in measuring fair value.

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

As at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014, all or part of the shares held by the Company in some of its subsidiaries are pledged as a security for loans (see note 23).

   5.      Significant accounting policies 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements unless otherwise stated.

   5.1    Subsidiaries 

Subsidiaries are those entities, including special purpose entities, controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

   5.2    Transactions eliminated on consolidation 

Intra-group balances and any unrealised gains and losses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the entity. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

   5.3    Business combinations 

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable.

The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, plus if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree, less the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss. Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. The interest of non-controlling shareholders in the acquiree is initially measured at the non-controlling shareholders' proportion of the net fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised.

   5.4    Interest in equity-accounted investees 

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity. Associates are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are initially recognised at cost. The Group's investment includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the income and expenses and equity movements of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group's share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

   5.5    Investment property 

Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of the business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administration purposes. Investment property is initially measured at cost and subsequently at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property. The cost of self-constructed investment property includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the investment property to a working condition for their intended use and capitalised borrowing costs.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit or loss. When an investment property that was previously classified as property, plant and equipment is sold, any related amount included in the revaluation reserve is transferred to retained earnings.

When the use of property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.

A property interest under an operating lease is classified and accounted for as an investment property on a property-by-property basis when the Group holds it to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Any such property interest under an operating lease classified as an investment property is carried at fair value. Lease payments are accounted for as described in accounting policy 5.10.

   5.6    Property, plant and equipment 

Land and buildings are carried at fair value, based on valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. Revaluations are carried out with sufficient regularity such that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the statement of financial position date. All other property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of property, plant and equipment are credited to fair value reserve in shareholders' equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against that reserve; all other decreases are recognised in profit or loss.

The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and appropriate proportion of production overheads.

Depreciation charge is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment, unless it constitutes part of the cost of another asset in which case is included in this asset's carrying amount. Freehold land is not depreciated.

The annual rates of depreciation are as follows:

   Buildings                                           3% 
   Machinery and equipment                 10% - 33.33% 
   Motor vehicles and other                  10% - 20% 

The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

   5.7    Assets held for sale 

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held for sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use.

Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to investment property, trading properties, financial assets, deferred tax assets, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group's other accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.

Once classified as held for sale, property, plant and equipment is no longer depreciated, and any equity-accounted investee is no longer equity accounted.

   5.8    Trading properties 

Trading properties (inventory) are shown at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of the business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Cost of trading properties is determined on the basis of specific identification of their individual costs and represents the fair value paid at the date that the land was acquired by the Group.

   5.9    Work in progress 

Work in progress is stated at cost plus any attributable profit less any foreseeable losses and less amounts received or receivable as progress payments. The cost of work in progress includes materials, labour and direct expenses plus attributable overheads based on a normal level of activity.

5.10 Leased assets

Leases under the terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Property held under operating leases that would otherwise meet the definition of investment property may be classified as investment property on a property-by-property basis. Such property is accounted for as if it were a finance lease and the fair value model is used for the asset recognised. Minimum lease payments on finance leases are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

5.11 Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are stated at their cost less impairment losses (see accounting policy 5.22).

5.12 Financial assets

The classification of the Group's investments in equity securities depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of investments at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every statement of financial position date.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Investments intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, are classified as available for sale. These are included in non-current assets unless management has the express intention of holding the investment for less than 12 months from the reporting date or unless they will need to be sold to raise operating capital, in which case they are included in current assets. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income and then in equity. When available-for-sale financial assets are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in profit or loss. In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment losses previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of fair value reserve.

5.13 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash deposited with banks and bank overdrafts repayable on demand. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly-liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows.

5.14 Share capital and premium

Share capital represents the issued amount of shares outstanding at their par value. Any excess amount of capital raised is included in share premium. External costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares, other than on a business combination, are shown as a deduction, net of tax, in share premium from the proceeds. Share issue costs incurred directly in connection with a business combination are included in the cost of acquisition.

5.15 Own shares

When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognised as a reduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as own shares and are presented as a reduction from total equity. When own shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognised as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is transferred to share premium.

5.16 Dividends

Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared and approved and are subtracted directly from retained earnings.

5.17 Interest-bearing borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis.

5.18 Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated at their cost.

5.19 Prepayments from clients

Payments received in advance on development contracts for which no revenue has been recognised yet, are recorded as prepayments from clients as at the statement of financial position date and carried under creditors. Payments received in advance on development contracts for which revenue has been recognised, are recorded as prepayments from clients to the extent that they exceed revenue that was recognised in profit or loss as at the statement of financial position date.

5.20 Provisions

A provision is recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

5.21 Expenses

Investment Manager remuneration, directors' remuneration, operational expenses, professional fees, administrative and other expenses are accounted for on an accrual basis. Expenses are charged to profit or loss, except for expenses incurred on the acquisition of an investment property, which are included within the cost of that investment. Expenses arising on the disposal of an investment property are deducted from the disposal proceeds.

5.22 Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Group's assets, other than investment property (see accounting policy 5.5) and deferred tax assets (see accounting policy 5.31), are reviewed at each statement of financial position date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets' recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and value in use of an asset. In assessing value in use of an asset, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to cash-generating units and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis.

5.23 Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the invoiced amount for the sale of goods and services net of value added tax, rebates and discounts. Revenues earned by the Group are recognised on the following bases:

Income from land and buildings under development

The Group applies IAS 18 'Revenue' for income from land and buildings under development, according to which revenue and the related costs are recognised in profit or loss when the building has been completed and delivered and all associated risks have been transferred to the buyer.

Construction contracts

Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the statement of financial position date, as measured by the proportion that contract costs incurred for work performed to date compared to the estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that they have been agreed with the customer.

Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable they will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

5.24 Equity-settled share-based payment arrangements

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based arrangements is generally recognised as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The grant-date fair value is measured to reflect market performance conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes. The amount recognised as an expense, is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

5.25 Finance income and costs

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested, dividend income and gains on the disposal of and increase in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions and losses on the disposal of and reduction in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

The interest expense component of finance lease payments is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

5.26 Foreign currency translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss.

5.27 Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Euro at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to Euro at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

The income and expenses of foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies are translated to Euro at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Prior to translating the financial statements of foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, their financial statements for the current period are restated to account for changes in the general purchasing power of the local currency. The restatement is based on relevant price indices at the reporting date.

Foreign currency differences are recognised directly in equity in the foreign currency translation reserve. When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the foreign currency translation reserve is transferred to profit or loss.

5.28 Segment reporting

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing products or services (operating segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments. Segment results that are reported to the Group's chief operating decision maker include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

5.29 Earnings per share

The Group presents basic and diluted (if applicable) earnings per share ('EPS') data for its shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential shares.

5.30 NAV per share

The Group presents NAV per share by dividing the total equity attributable to owners of the Company by the number of shares outstanding as at the statement of financial position date.

5.31 Taxation

Taxation comprises current and deferred tax. Taxation is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the statement of financial position date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognised using the statement of financial position method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Group takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events. New information may become available that causes the Group to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to the tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.

5.32 Government grants

Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received. Government grants related to non-current assets are recognised as deferred income that is recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset. Government grants that relate to expenses are recognised in profit or loss as revenue.

5.33 Comparatives

Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current year.

Personnel expenses in relation to operating expenses are expensed as incurred in profit or loss. Personnel expenses in relation to construction in progress are capitalised on the specific projects and transferred to profit or loss through cost of sales when the specific property is disposed of.

   8.      SEGMENT REPORTING 

Operating segments

The Group has two reportable operating segments, the 'Hotel & leisure operations' and 'Construction & development segments. Information related to each operational reportable segment is set out below. Segment profit/(loss) before tax is used to measure performance as management believes such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the respective segments relative to other entities that operate in the same industries.

Country risk developments

The general economic environment prevailing in the south-east Europe area and internationally may affect the Group's operations. Concepts such as inflation, unemployment, and development of the gross domestic product are directly linked to the economic course of every country and variation in these and the economic environment in general might affect the Group to a certain extent.

The global fundamentals of the sector remained strong during 2015 and 2014, 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 the international media speculation involving scenarios of default and/or Greece's exit from the Eurozone, the country's economic conditions significantly stabilized until the end of 2014, when a general election was called in Greece for January 2015. In 2014 international tourist arrivals, according to Tourism Research Institute, set a new historical record by reaching 21.5 million, a 20% increase compared to 2013.

In late June 2015 capital controls were imposed and the banking system was closed for more than two weeks. On 12 July 2015, the Greek Prime Minister agreed with the European Union leaders a list of reforms that the Greek Government needed to implement in order to unlock a fresh EUR82 billion to EUR86 billion bail-out. On 15 July 2015, the Greek parliament passed this law and in the context of this agreement the Government has put forward a plan of reforms, spending cuts and tax rises. The conclusion of this agreement is expected, if the respective measures are implemented, to restore the sustainability of the Greek economy on a long term basis. Since the announcement of the referendum on 5 July 2015, tourism was negatively affected by the cancelation of reservations and the slowdown of new ones. Since the announcement of the provisional agreement for the 3rd bail out, reservations picked up 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. The president of the Association of Hellenic Tourism Enterprises expects a slight contraction in arrivals this season compared to 2015, due to the sector's overtaxation and the delay in the completion of the evaluation of the program, which will help Greece remain in the euro currency. The management of the refugee flows is also an important factor, mainly for the islands of the North Aegean that were in the frontlines of the refugee and migrant crisis.

Cyprus

The economic adjustment programme remained on track in 2015, with progress made in all key objectives set out by the country's international lenders. The banking sector is also on a steady path to stabilization with all domestic capital controls lifted in early April 2015. Cyprus successfully concluded its three-year ESM financial assistance programme on 31 March 2016. The ESM disbursed EUR6.3 billion, in addition to around EUR1 billion in loans from the IMF, out of a loan package of up to EUR10 billion. The Cypriot authorities did not need the remaining EUR2.7 billion. Tourist arrivals during 2014 amounted to 2.4 million and stayed at the same level when compared to 2013, as reported by the Statistical Service of the Republic of Cyprus. The number of tourists visiting Cyprus in 2015 reached almost 2.7 million bringing in the highest number of tourist arrivals in over a decade. The Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO) aims to boost tourist arrival numbers to 2.9 million in 2016. For the period from January to February 2016 arrivals of tourists totalled 114.596 compared to 92.508 in the corresponding period of 2015, recording an increase of 23.9%.

Consequently, it is encouraging to note that, despite the banking crisis that occurred in early 2013, the tourism industry remained unharmed and expectations for 2016 are positive. The decision by the Ministerial Council to reduce the investment amount requirements and accelerate Cypriot citizenship awards to buyers of real estate is expected to significantly increase sales momentum and margins at Aristo Developers Limited ('Aristo'), a Group associate, and increase the value and saleability of its larger projects. Significant value is also estimated to be unlocked through the expected zoning of the 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)/earnings per share

Diluted (loss)/earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the (loss)/profit attributable to owners and the number of common shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential shares. As of 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 this year. As of 31 December 2014, the Company had one category of dilutive potential common shares: warrants. The number of shares calculated above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the warrants.

The following table shows the valuation techniques used in measuring land and buildings, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

During the year, the valuation technique used in measuring the fair value of properties in Greece and the Americas changed to Income approach or an approach combining Income approach, in cases where the property construction was fully completed or nearly completed in the current year and hence more reliance could have been placed on cash flow data. Also, components of Greek properties were classified as assets held for sale (see note 16).

   16.    DISPOSAL GROUPS HELD FOR SALE 

In 2015, 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 have commenced and their sale is expected within the following year.

Impairment losses relating to the disposal group

Impairment losses of EUR763 thousand 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.

Assets and liabilities of disposal groups held for sale

As at 31 December 2015, the disposal groups comprised the following assets and liabilities:

Measurement of fair values

i. Fair value hierarchy

The fair value measurement for the disposal groups before costs to sell has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation techniques used (see note 3).

ii. Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs

The fair value of each disposal group is significantly based on the valuation of the immovable property in each group. The following table shows the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in measuring the fair values of these properties.

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

During the year, the Company's investment in its equity accounted investee, DCI H2, decreased by EUR43,335 thousand, compared to the increase of EUR52,552 thousand during the year 2014 and the decrease of EUR76,730 thousand during the year 2013. DCI H2 is the owner of Aristo and its equity fluctuations for these periods mainly relate to revaluation gains and losses on the latter's property land bank. The decrease recognised in 2013 was principally driven by the reduction in the value of its largest project, Venus Rock, whose fair value has been adjusted to reflect the purchase price agreed with China Glory Investment Group ('CGIG'). In 2014, following the termination of the agreement with CGIG, the property of Venus Rock was revalued based on a valuation by independent professional valuers. In 2015, the property value was based on a new valuation by independent professional valuers carried out on the same basis as that of 2014.

During the year, the Company disposed of its participation in Progressive Business Advisors S.A. Also, on 24 April 2015, DCI Holdings Fifty Ltd ('DCI H50') acquired a 100% participation in SPV 5, through the enforcement of the pledge over the whole issued share capital of SPV 5 that existed in relation to a loan facility provided by DCI H50 to SPV 5 on 11 February 2014. As the Company has a 25% participation in DCI H50, its indirect holding in SPV 5 remains 25% at 31 December 2015. On 30 October 2015, there was a restructuring in the Nikki Beach corporate holding structure ('Porto Heli'), with Heli Bay replacing DCI H50 as the common holding company of the asset and Heli Bay Properties Ltd acting as the intermediate holding company in Cyprus. The Company retains its 25% indirect shareholding participation in the Porto Heli project which has not been affected by the above transactions.

As of 31 December 2015, Aristo, had a total of EUR1.8 million (2014: EUR2.4 million) contractual capital commitments on property, plant and equipment and a total of EUR39 million (2014: EUR44 million) bank guarantees arising in the ordinary course of its business. Aristo's management does not anticipate any material liability to arise from these contingent liabilities. In addition, 1,500 shares out of 4,975 shares that the Company holds in DCI H2 are pledged as a security against the Group's bank loans (see note 23).

SPV 5 had nil (2014: EUR778 thousand) contractual capital commitments on property, plant and equipment. As at 31 December 2014, all 2,500 shares held by the Company in SPV 5 were pledged as security against a loan to SPV 5 (see above and note 23).

DCI H2, the parent company of the Aristo Developers group, has recently completed certain bank loan restructurings to reschedule its loan repayments over a longer period, proceeding with a debt-to-asset swap to retire a part of its debt and reduce its debt service obligations for 2015 and 2016. It remains in negotiation with two more banks (including its major bank lender) to proceed with a restructuring of the related bank liabilities, in a manner that could involve substantial debt-to-asset swaps and the issue of convertible instruments into shares. DCI H2's bank loans are fully secured, primarily with mortgages against immovable property of its subsidiaries. There are no floating charges relating to these bank loans.

If DCI H2 does not secure funds from its subsidiaries or other sources to service its banking debt, the lending institutions would be entitled to exercise the securities they hold against the relevant properties. In such a situation, the timing of these disposals and the eventual disposal proceeds cannot be forecasted and could have a significant impact on the Company's investment in DCI H2.

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 EUR1 million per calendar month payable quarterly in advance; and

-- with effect from and including 1 January 2016, the annual management fee shall be EUR8.5 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)    EUR8.5 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 characterized 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 EUR169.6 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, EUR113,055,360 (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.

Incentive shares

Investment Manager Awards have been granted (see note 30).

Clawback

Following the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement, if, on the clawback assessment date, the Company has not received an amount from the disposal of the core assets equal or in excess of the Aggregate Core Asset Base Value, the Investment Manager will pay to the Company an amount to cover the difference, not to exceed the aggregate amount of any Core Asset Incentive Fee Advance Payments received by the Investment Manager. The clawback assessment date is the earlier of, (i) disposal of the Company's interest in the last core asset concerned; or (ii) 1 August 2020. In the event that a fees clawback applies the Company shall be entitled to set off at any time the amount of any fees clawback payment due against, (i) any liability of the Company to pay non-core asset incentive fees and/or (ii) any other fees due and payable by the Company to the Investment Manager, but excluding the annual management fee. In addition, the Company will have a security interest over any unvested shares awarded to the Investment Manager under the Share Incentive Plan.

No performance fees were charged to the Company for the years ended 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014. As at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014, funds held in escrow, including accrued interest, amounted to EUR467 thousand.

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:

   --    EUR890 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 EUR681 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 EUR160.1 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 EUR7.6 million, as compared to the base reduction of EUR167.7 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 performance fee payment was subject to the following escrow and clawback provisions:

Escrow

The following table displays the previous escrow arrangements:

 
Escrow                                                    Terms 
Up to EUR109 million returned                             50% of overall performance fee held in escrow 
Up to EUR109 million plus the cumulative hurdle returned  25% of any performance fee held in escrow 
After the return of EUR409 million post-hurdle, plus the  All performance fees released from escrow 
 return of EUR225 million post-hurdle 
 

Clawback

If on the earlier of (i) disposal of the Company's interest in a relevant investment or (ii) 1 August 2020, the proceeds realised from that investment are less than the Relevant Investment Amount, the Investment Manager should have paid to the Company an amount equivalent to the difference between the proceeds realised and the Relevant Investment Amount. 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.

29.3 Shareholder and development agreements

Shareholder agreements

DolphinCI Twenty Two Limited, a subsidiary of the Group, had signed a shareholder agreement with the non-controlling shareholder of Eastern Crete Development Company S.A., under which it had acquired 60% of the shares of the Plaka Bay project by paying the former majority shareholder a sum upon closing and a conditional amount in the event the non-controlling shareholder was successful in, among others, acquiring additional specific plots and obtaining construction permits. On 23 August 2013, the parties signed a new agreement for the purchase of the remaining 40% stake of the entity. The base consideration for the purchase was EUR4.4 million payable in three installments: EUR2.4 million by 10 September 2013, EUR1 million by 30 September 2013 and EUR1 million by 31 October 2013. The last installment of EUR1 million was transferred in February 2014. Consideration might be increased by the transfer of plots of land in the project, to the seller, of total market value equal to EUR4 million, subject to the project receiving permits for building 40,000 m2, of freehold residential properties. The conditional deferred consideration will be adjusted pro rata in case the buildable properties are less than 40,000 m2 but is also subject to a 5% annual increase commencing from the second anniversary from the signing of the agreement and until implementation by the Company.

On 20 September 2010, the Group signed an agreement with Archimedia, controlled by John Hunt, for the sale of a 14.29% stake in Amanzoe for a consideration of EUR11 million. The agreement also granted Archimedia the right to partially or wholly convert this shareholding stake into up to three predefined Aman Villas (the 'Conversion Villas') for a predetermined value and percentage per Villa. The first EUR1 million of the consideration was received at signing, while the completion of the transaction and the payment of the EUR10 million balance was subject to customary due diligence on the project and the issuance of the construction permits for the Conversion Villas prior to a longstop date set at 1 April 2011. On 28 March 2011, the Company reached an agreement with Archimedia to vary the original terms of the sale agreement, which was followed by the Company and Archimedia entering into an amended sale agreement on 13 March 2012. The Company received US$12,422 thousand and EUR1,300 thousand, while US$978 thousand and EUR800 thousand due as at 31 December 2013, plus any additional consideration that could be due depending on the exact size and features of the Conversion Villas, would be received upon completion of the Conversion Villas. On 2 July 2014, Archimedia remitted EUR904 thousand (EUR263 thousand and US$878 thousand) to the Company towards this end. As of 31 December 2015 no receivable amount was outstanding (2014: EUR415 thousand, included in trade and other receivables - see note 20). On 3 August 2012, the Company received a Conversion Notice from Archimedia to convert 6.43% of its shares in Amanzoe in exchange for an Aman Villa and on 27 December 2012 a further Notice for the conversion of the remaining 7.86% of its shares for two other Aman Villas. As of 31 December 2015, all Villas Conversions had been completed and Archimedia did not hold any shareholding interest in Amanzoe.

On 6 August 2012, the Company signed an agreement for the sale of eight out of the nine remaining Seafront Villas, part of the Mindcompass Overseas Limited group of entities. The total base net consideration agreed for this sale was EUR10 million, with the Company also entitled to 50% profit participation in the sale of five Villas. It was also agreed that the Company would undertake the construction contract for the completion of the Villas and a EUR1 million deposit was paid upon signing. During 2013, the Company received an additional amount of EUR990 thousand. The construction of the two Villas is currently underway.

On 5 September 2012, the Company signed a sales agreement with a regional investor group led by Mr. Alberto Vallarino for the sale of its 60% shareholding in Peninsula Resort Holdings Limited, the entity that indirectly holds the land for Pearl Island's Founders' phase of the Pearl Island Project. The consideration for the sale was a cash payment of US$6 million (50% paid at closing on 14 September 2012 and 50% one year from closing, collected on 17 September 2013) and a commitment to invest an additional circa US$35 million of development capital within a maximum period of two years in order to complete the aforementioned phase of the project. Out of those funds, approximately US$13 million would be incurred on development of components owned by Pearl Island Limited S.A., with the entire amount already invested by 31 December 2015 (2014: US$12,553 thousand).

Development agreements

Pursuant to the original Sale and Purchase Agreement of 10 December 2007, DCI H7 was obliged to make payments for the construction of infrastructure on the land retained by DR Beachfront Real Estate LLC ('DRB'), the former majority shareholder of PGH. Pursuant to a restructuring agreement dated 5 November 2012, those obligations have been restructured with the material provisions of that agreement already fulfilled. As at 31 December 2015, following cash payments of US$7.6 million and transfers of land parcels valued at approximately US$11.7 million, no amount is outstanding (31 December 2014: US$0.7 million or EUR565 thousand, included in trade and other payables - see note 27).

Pedro Gonzalez Holdings II Limited, a subsidiary of the Group in which the Company holds a 60% stake, has signed a Development Management agreement with DCI Holdings Twelve Limited ('DCI H12') in which the Group has a stake of 60%.

   33.    FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

Financial risk factors

The Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk from its use of financial instruments. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework. The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities. The Group's overall strategy remains unchanged from last year.

   (i)      Credit risk 

Credit risk arises when a failure by counter parties to discharge their obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets on hand at the statement of financial position date. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales are made to customers with an appropriate credit history and monitors on a continuous basis the ageing profile of its receivables. The Group's trade receivables are secured with the property sold. Cash balances are mainly held with high credit quality financial institutions and the Group has policies to limit the amount of credit exposure to any financial institution.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting year was as follows:

 
                                                      Carrying amount

   (ii)     Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that arises when the maturity of assets and liabilities does not match. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability, but can also increase the risk of losses. The Group has procedures with the object of minimising such losses such as maintaining sufficient cash and other highly liquid current assets and by having available an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.

The following tables present the contractual maturities of financial liabilities. The tables have been prepared on the basis of contractual undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities, and on the basis of the earliest date on which the Group might be forced to pay.

   (iii)    Market risk 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, equity prices and foreign exchange rates, will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Group's income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates as the Group has no significant interest-bearing assets. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group's management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly.

Sensitivity analysis

An increase of 100 basis points in interest rates at 31 December would have decreased equity and profit or loss by EUR1,076 thousand (2014: EUR1,125 thousand). This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant. For a decrease of 100 basis points there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit or loss and other equity.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Group's measurement currency. The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to the United States dollar. The Group's management monitors the exchange rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly.

The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk for its use of financial instruments was as follows:

Sensitivity analysis

A 10% strengthening of the euro against the following currencies at 31 December would affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and increased/(decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. For a 10% weakening of the euro against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit and other equity.

Capital management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while improving the return to shareholders. The Board of Directors is committed to implementing a package of measures that are expected to focus on the achievement of the Group's investment objectives, achieve cost efficiencies and strengthen its liquidity. Notably, these measures include the completion of certain Group asset divestment transactions, principally involving the Group's Non-Core Assets, as well as the conclusion of additional working capital facilities at the Group and/or Company level.

   34.    Commitments 

As of 31 December 2015, the Group had a total of EUR3,229 thousand contractual capital commitments on property, plant and equipment (2014: EUR19,446 thousand).

Non-cancellable operating lease rentals are payable as follows:

                             ------------  ------------ 
 
   35.    Contingent liabilities 

Companies of the Group are involved in pending litigations. Such litigations principally relate to day-to-day operations as a developer of second-home residences and largely derive from certain clients and suppliers. Based on the Group's legal advisers, the Investment Manager believes that there is sufficient defence against any claim and they do not expect that the Group will suffer any material loss. All provisions in relation to these matters which are considered necessary have been recorded in these consolidated financial statements.

If investment properties, trading properties and property, plant and equipment were sold at their fair market value, this would have given rise to a payable performance fee to the Investment Manager of approximately EUR21 million (2014: EUR63 million), subject always to the escrow and clawback provisions mentioned in note 29.2.

In addition to the tax liabilities that have already been provided for in the consolidated financial statements based on existing evidence, there is a possibility that additional tax liabilities may arise after the examination of the tax and other matters of the companies of the Group in the relevant tax jurisdictions.

The Group, under its normal course of business, guaranteed the development of properties in line with agreed specifications and time limits in favor of other parties.

   36.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

On 29 June 2016, Aristo concluded an agreement with the Bank of Cyprus for a debt-for-asset swap. This transaction resulted in the settlement of Aristo's total debt with Bank of Cyprus, currently comprising c. EUR283 million in exchange for certain Aristo assets (including most of its Venus Rock project) with a total book value of c. EUR382 million as at 31 December 2015. The impact of this transaction on Dolphin's share of Aristo NAV is a further reduction of c. EUR34 million to the 31 December 2015 reported NAV. Aristo will continue managing the Venus Rock Golf Course for a minimum of 6 months and will retain an earn-out interest in the project, subject to the terms and conditions agreed in the relevant restructuring agreement. In addition to reducing Aristo's overall debt by EUR283 million to an amount of c. EUR110 million, this agreement eliminates annual interest costs of at least EUR16 million.

There were no other material events after the reporting period, which have a bearing on the understanding of the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2015.
