Country risk developments 
 
The general economic environment prevailing in the south-east Europe area and internationally may affect the Group's
operations. Factors such as inflation, unemployment, public health crises, international trade and development of the gross
domestic product directly impact the economy of each country and variation in these and the economic environment in general
affect the Group's performance to a certain extent. 
 
The global fundamentals of the hospitality sector remained strong during 2016 and the first half of 2017, 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 
 
While throughout 2016 Greek economic growth was essentially flat,Greece's successful return to the capital markets sent a
clear sign that the country is finally recovering following its recent bailout program. Greece returned to the bond markets
for the first time since 2014, pricing E3 billion of new five-year bonds at a yield of 4.625%. According to Hellenic
Financial Council (the 'Council'), the 0.8% year-on-year increase in GDP for the second quarter of 2017 is a positive
development. In respect of the State Budget execution, the Council notes that for the January-July 2017 period primary
surplus stands at 1.7% of GDP higher versus the 1.5% achieved in the same period in 2016 and the targeted 1.2% for the
period. 
 
Greece's tourism sector is expected to have a significant impact on the recovery of the country's economy and on curbing
the external trade deficit. Official data released by the Greek Tourism Confederation confirmed that 2016 was an all-time
record year for Greek tourism as the number of tourism arrivals in Greece increased 9% compared to 2015. In 2017 air, road
and sea arrival indicators show significant increases. According to data of the Greek Tourism Confederation, in the first
half of 2017, tourism arrivals reached 11 million, incoming travellers were up by 6.6% and travel receipts rose by 7.1%.
Summer holiday-makers from the Eurozone, Russia and the USA are leading the increase in arrivals and revenues. In addition,
high levels of consumer confidence in most Greek tourism markets indicate potential for high demand for the Greek tourism
product. 
 
Cyprus 
 
Cyprus successfully concluded its three-year European Stability Mechanism ('ESM') financial assistance programme on 31
March 2016. The ESM disbursed E6.3 billion, in addition to around E1 billion in loans from the IMF, out of a loan package
of up to E10 billion. The Cypriot authorities did not need the remaining E2.7 billion. The emerging economic recovery has
been reinforced since then with the economy expanding by 3.5% year-on-year in real terms in the second quarter of of 2017,
driven mainly by improved levels of private consumption and a record year for the tourism industry. 
 
The available data for the tourism industry highlighted, once again, that tourism was amongst one of the key catalysts for
the country's 2016 economic performance, as revenues reached E2.4 billion at the end of the year surpassing the total
tourism revenues recorded throughout 2015 (E2.1 million) by 11.9%. Total arrivals amounted to 3.2 million in 2016 versus
2.7 million in the previous year. For the period of January - July 2017 arrivals of tourists totalled 2 million compared to
1.7 million in the corresponding period of 2016, recording an increase of 14.8% and outnumbering the total arrivals ever
recorded in Cyprus during the first seven months of the year, as reported by the country's Statistical Service. During the
first eight months of 2017, real estate market activity accelerated on the back of incentives and debt-asset swaps by 20%
year-on-year. Recognising the growing interest, Cyprus has focused on modernising legislation, introducing tax incentives
and speeding up licensing procedures. 
 
10. DISCONTINUED OPERATION 
 
During the second half of 2016, the Group sold Playa Grande (owner of 'Amanera, Dominican Republic') and also committed to
a plan to sell Pearl (owner of 'Pearl Island, Republic of Panama'). Playa and Pearl constituted the operations of the Group
in the geographical area of Americas, which as at 31 December 2016, is presented as a discontinued operation. Pearl is also
classified as a disposal group held for sale as at 31 December 2016.  During the period ended 30 June 2017, Pearl was
disposed of. 
 
As at 30 June 2016, Americas segment was not classified as a discontinued operation.  The comparative condensed
consolidated interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income has been restated to show the discontinued
operation separately from continuing operations.

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 30 June 2017 and 31 December 2016,
the diluted (loss)/earnings per share is the same as the basic (loss)/earnings per share, due to the fact that no dilutive
potential ordinary shares were outstanding during these periods. 
 
The average market value of the Company's shares for the purpose of calculating the dilutive effect of warrants and
Convertible Bonds was based on quoted market prices. The Convertible Bonds were repaid on the scheduled maturing date in
March 2016 and all warrants expired on 3 January 2017.

Available-for-sale financial assets 
 
On 15 July 2013, the Company acquired 9.6 million shares, equivalent to 10% of Itacare's share capital, for the amount of
E1.9 million. Itacare is a real estate investment company that was listed on AIM until 16 May 2014, when the admission of
its ordinary shares to trading on AIM was cancelled following a decision of its shareholders at the Extraordinary General
Meeting that took place on 6 May 2014.  Itacare's shareholders have decided to dispose of all assets and after a series of
asset sales/swaps Itacare now owns two development sites with the Company's shareholding being 13%. The Company is
currently in advanced discussions for the sale of its shareholding in Itacare, for a US$1 million payment in cash, with the
transaction expected to close by the end of 2017. 
 
DCI H2 disposal group 
 
During 2016, the Company's investment in DCI H2, owner of Aristo, decreased significantly, as a result of a share of loss
and an impairment loss amounting to E34,389 thousand and E109,265 thousand, respectively.  The share of losses comprised
the result of the loan restructuring arrangement between Aristo and Bank of Cyprus, whereby a loss from the redemption of
such bank loans emerged through their settlement with property swapped.  The impairment loss has been recognised to bring
the DCI H2 investment to its recoverable amount of E45 million, which represented the originally agreed proceeds to the
Company from the disposal of its investment, as further described below. 
 
On 29 September 2016, the Company reached an agreement to dispose of its 49.75% shareholding in DCI H2 to an entity
controlled by Theodoros Aristodemou ('TA'), DCI H2' s current controlling shareholder. The disposal would have been
effected by way of a sale to TA of 49.75% of the shares in DCI H2 held by DCI Holdings One Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company, for a total cash consideration of E45 million, payable in quarterly instalments over three years and
bearing annual interest of 4% in the first year, increasing to 5% and 6%, respectively, for each of the subsequent years.
The Company was also be entitled to a 25% share of any gross proceeds in excess of an implied company equity valuation of
E100 million from the sale of any shares of DCI H2 (or of its subsidiaries) sold by the acquirer until the earlier of six
months from the settlement of the full consideration (to the extent such settlement occurred by 29 December 2016 and the
second anniversary from the transaction). The acquisition shares would have been kept in escrow and transferred to the
acquirer in line with the collection of the consideration by the Company, apart from a percentage which would have been
remained escrowed until the final settlement of the consideration. In the event that any payment became overdue for more
than three months either party would have the right to terminate the sales agreement, in which case all the shares kept in
escrow together with any corresponding dividend distributions would have been retained by the Company. On 6 September 2016,
the Company received E1.1 million in exchange for 105 DCI H2 shares, resulting in a gain on disposal of E151 thousand and
to a reduction in the Company's holding in DCI H2 to 48.7%. 
 
On 13 February 2017, the Company signed a supplementary agreement amending the date of execution of the agreement to the
earlier of a) 30 April 2017 and b) the 'Stay Period', the date falling 5 Business days after the issuance of the Court
verdict for the current trial between the Attorney General and the Bank of Cyprus Public Company Ltd (in which TA is a
defendant). Completion was to take place upon the expiration of the Stay Period, subject to the full receipt by the Company
of any outstanding amount from the consideration. Upon execution of this agreement an amount of E700 thousand was paid to
the Company (received on 14 February 2017) in exchange for 77 shares in DCI H2, resulting in a gain on disposal of E4
thousand and to a reduction in the Company's holding in DCI H2 to 47.9%. In the event that by 30 April 2017 a court verdict
had not been issued, then the Stay Period would have been extended until 30 June of 2017, provided that TA made by the 30
April 2017 a payment of E300 thousand in exchange for 33 DCIH2 shares. 
 
On 3 May 2017, the Company decided to terminate the agreement with TA to dispose its Aristo shares, as a result of TA's
failure to settle deferred payments by 30 April 2017.  The Company will retain the unpaid portion of its Aristo shares,
which corresponds on 3 May 2017 to 47.9%.  The Board remains committed to dispose Aristo and realise value from the
remaining shareholding. 
 
As at 30 June 2017 and as at 31 December 2016, the Company's holding of 47.9% and 48.7%, respectively has been classified
as asset held for sale. 
 
As at 31 December 2016, the disposal groups comprised the following assets and liabilities:

Convertible bonds payable 
 
On 5 April 2013, the Company issued 5,000 Bonds (the 'Euro Bonds') at E10 thousand each, bearing interest of 5.5% per
annum, payable semi-annually, and maturing on 5 April 2018.  On 23 April 2013, the Company issued 917 Bonds (the 'US$
Bonds') at US$10 thousand each, bearing interest of 7% per annum, payable semi-annually, and maturing on 23 April 2018. 
The Euro Bonds and the US$ Bonds could be converted prior to maturity (unless earlier redeemed or repurchased) at the
option of the holder into common shares of E0.01 each. The conversion price was E0.5623, equivalent of GBP0.49 (initial
conversion price GBP0.50) and US$0.6583, equivalent of GPB0.4410 (initial conversion price GBP0.45) per share for the Euro
Bonds and the US$ Bonds, respectively.  The Euro Bonds and the US$ Bonds were not publicly traded. 
 
Part of the Bonds, amounting to E41,004 thousand, was subscribed for by Third Point LLC, a significant shareholder of the
Company at that time. On 8 December 2016, both Euro Bonds and US Bonds were cancelled and all accrued interest was waived
as a result of the Share Purchase Agreement entered into for the sale of Playa Grande.

semi-annually, and maturing on 29 March 2016. The Bonds were trading on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange
(the freiverkehr market) under the symbol 12DD.  On 23 April 2013, the Company purchased 891 Bonds at a consideration of
US$10 thousand each (representing their par value) plus corresponding accrued interest of approximately US$200 thousand
using the funds received from the issue of the US$ Bonds. On 10 June 2015, certain bondholders, including the Investment
Manager, opted to convert Bonds of total value US$14,420 thousand into 42,930,080 shares that were admitted on AIM on 11
June 2015. The Investment Manager converted Bonds of total value US$420 thousand into 1,250,390 shares. The remaining
amount of DCI H7 Bonds including any accrued interest was repaid on the scheduled maturing date in March 2016.
