("DCI" or "Dolphin" or the "Company"
and together with its subsidiaries the "Group")
Half Year Results for the six months ended 30 June 2018 and
Trading Update
Financial Highlights:
·
Gross Assets of €391 million (31 December 2017: €395 million).
·
Total Group Net Asset Value ("NAV") of €220 million and €190 million before and after Deferred Tax Liabilities ("DTL") respectively. This represents a decrease of €3 million and €4 million (1.48% and 2.09%) respectively, against the 2017 year end figures.
·
NAV reduction principally due to normal operational and financial expenses, offset by the increase in the carrying value of Amanzoe to reflect disposal consideration. No portfolio valuation was undertaken as at 30 June 2018; the next full portfolio valuation will be conducted as at 31 December 2018.
·
Sterling NAV per share as at 30 June 2018 stood at 22p before DTL and 19p after DTL, remaining stable compared to the respective figures as at 31 December 2017.
·
Total debt of €99 million with a Group total debt to gross asset ratio of25% as at 30 June 2018. The pro-forma Group total debt following the Amanzoe disposal which completed on 27 September amounts to €24 million, resulting in a pro forma gearing ratio for the Group of 9%. DCI itself does not have any further recourse loans or guarantees and the remaining Group debt is at project level on a non-recourse basis.
·
Cash at 30 June 2018 of €12.7m (31 December 2017: €2.4m).
Portfolio:
·
On 18 January 2018, Dolphin entered into an agreement for the disposal of its 77.8% interest in the Sitia Bay Resort project for a total cash consideration of €14 million. The full consideration was received by the Company and the disposal was completed on 3 April 2018.
·
On 5 February 2018, Dolphin sold its 100% interest in Triopetra for a total consideration of €4.1 million.
·
On 1 August 2018, subsequent to the period end, the Company entered into an agreement for the disposal of its 100% interest in Amanzoe and the conditional sale of 20 Kilada Hills Golf plots to Grivalia Hospitality S.A. The disposal of Amanzoe completed on 27 September, and the full €5.8 million cash consideration for Amanzoe was paid to Dolphin, whilst the acquirers also assumed all existing liabilities of Amanzoe which amounted to €117 million as at 30 June 2018. The €10 million cash consideration for the purchase of the 20 Kilada Hills plots will be paid in instalments, at the time when the senior construction loan for the development of the first phase of the project is secured and in line with its draw-down. The Company is in advanced discussions with a local bank in relation to this financing.
Operations:
·
Amanzoe's performance improved by increasing occupancy to c.63% for the period up to June 2018 versus 59% for the same period in 2017, generating an Average Daily Rate ("ADR") of €1,209 and a Revenue per Available Room ("RevPAR") of €760 over the same period (2017: €1,173 and €687 respectively). Amanzoe continued its strong performance during July and August.
·
The new construction permits for the One&Only Kéa Island project were issued on 7 July 2018 and the construction is expected to start during Q4 of this year. In parallel, the finalization of a €30 million senior construction loan (as well as a VAT and subsidy bridge facilities) is underway with a local bank and is expected to complete the financing requirements for the construction of the project.
·
The planning permitting process of Kilada Hills Golf Resort was completed during August 2018. Kilada is the first private project in Greece to ever receive an approval under the Strategic Project Legislation which, subject to securing the respective senior development loan, paves the way for the commencement of infrastructure and golf course works and allows for the submission for approval of construction permits for the residential units.
·
Aristo sold 58 homes during the six months to June 2018, representing total sales of €27.6 million and an increase of 3.8% compared to the same period in 2017. Aristo has maintained a quality land bank, commensurate with its leading industry position in Cyprus, and expects its overall 2018 performance to be ahead of 2017.
·
Sales agreements were signed for two Seafront Villas in Kilada Hills for an aggregate consideration of €2.6 million and for one residence at La Vanta, Turkey.
Commenting, Andrew Coppel, Chairman of Dolphin's Board of Directors said:
"We remain focussed on achieving our objective of disposing of all of the Company's assets and made significant progress during this period. We have also taken steps to increase the value of the project portfolio without recourse to additional equity investment. We believe that the commencement of both the One&Only development at Kea, and the first phase of the Kilada Hills development, the Company's most valuable asset in terms of net asset value as at 30 June 2018, will unlock significant value for our shareholders."
Miltos Kambourides, Founder of Dolphin and Managing Partner of Dolphin Capital Partners said:
"The Company has made good progress in disposing of a number of portfolio assets during 2018 and completing the permitting process of Kea One&Only and Kilada Hills. The upcoming commencement of construction works of these two projects, combined with economic recovery and tourism growth in Greece and Cyprus, is expected to create a better basis for further asset sales."

A. Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to report Dolphin's interim financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2018 and to provide a trading update.
Loss after tax for the period ended 30 June 2018 attributable to owners of the Company amounted to €14 million compared to €3 million for the period ended 30 June 2017. Taking into account the Amanzoe revaluation to the agreed disposal price, the effect on the Company's NAV was a reduction of €3 million before DTL.
During the first half year and in the subsequent three months, the Board and the Investment Manager have continued their efforts to achieve the orderly and controlled disposal of the Group's assets. In the period to 30 June 2018, the Company completed the disposal of its interests in Sitia Bay and Triopetra. Subsequent to 30 June, the Company has achieved the sale of Amanzoe. During the six months to end of June 2018 the Company has received an aggregate €18.5 million of gross cash consideration, which increased its cash reserves as at 30 June to €12.7 million, while in parallel reducing the Group debt by €74 million. Further details on the revenue and the operating expenses of the Company during the period are provided in section F below.
Our attention now is focussed on satisfying the conditions precedent for the completion of the Joint Venture agreement to enable the commencement of the development of the One&Only at Kea, on securing the development loan that will enable the Company to develop the first phase of Kilada Hills and on monetizing our remaining asset portfolio.
The completion of Greece's third financial assistance programme in August 2018, which marks the termination of the country's 8-year reliance on EU financial stability funds and its return to a stronger economic footing, together with the record tourist arrivals recorded during 2018 in both Greece and Cyprus, are expected to further enhance the appeal of local hospitality assets to international investors and facilitate the Company's divestment efforts.
The Company is also taking steps to realize its significant shareholding position in Aristo and is encouraged by its sustained operating performance during the period. Revenue for the 2018 financial year is expected to be ahead of the previous year.
Sue Farr and Rob Heller stepped down from the Board in January 2018. Their contribution was much appreciated and we wish them much success in their other ventures.
The Board and the Investment Manager will continue their efforts to facilitate shareholders' returns through the monetisation of assets.

B.2. Portfolio Review
·
Amanzoe, Greece
‐
On 1 August 2018, the Company entered into an agreement for the disposal of its 100% interest in Amanzoe and the sale of 20 Kilada Hills Golf plots to Grivalia Hospitality S.A., which is managed by Grivalia Properties, a real estate investment company listed on the Athens stock exchange.
‐
The disposal completed on 27 September and the cash consideration of €5.8 million for Amanzoe was paid to Dolphin while the acquirers also assumed all existing liabilities of Amanzoe, which amounted to €117 million as at 30 June 2018. The disposal consideration represents a premium of 8% to DCI's gross asset carrying value as at 31 December 2017 and will result in a surplus over carrying value on sale of €9 million.
‐
The asset management of Amanzoe will be continued by Dolphin Capital Partners Ltd, the Company's Investment Manager, which also acquired a 15% equity stake in Amanzoe from Grivalia on pari passu terms after the completion of the disposal.
‐
Amanzoe initiated operations for the 2018 season on 29 March 2018, as scheduled. Hotel performance for the period to end August 2018 was well ahead of the same period in 2017, with occupancy reaching 77% versus 72% in 2017, an ADR of €1,497 and a RevPAR €1,148 versus €1,452 and €1,050 for the same period in 2017.
‐
Amanzoe continued to receive extensive coverage in the international press during the first 9 months of 2018. Detailed articles appeared in such exclusive titles as Porter, Billionaire, Vogue (UK), The Sunday Times Travel, Tatler and The Times, whereas FT How To Spend It and The Telegraph Luxury featured extensive coverage on purchasing Villas at Amanzoe. In addition, strong promotion was seen across social media through collaborations pursued with numerous influencers and brand collaborations.
·
Kilada Hills Golf Resort Greece
‐
The planning permitting process of the project was completed on 22 August 2018 when the Joint Ministerial Decision granting approval for the Environmental Conditions and Urban Study for the project was published in the Greek Government Gazette. Kilada Hills Golf Resort thus became the first private real estate development project to receive permits under the ambit of the Strategic Project Legislation. The next permitting phase of the project involves the completion and submission of the infrastructure drawings for approval which is expected in Q4 2018, further to which ground breaking infrastructure works may commence.
‐
The first phase of the project will include a championship 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course (the plans for which are already in place), a Club House, a Beach Club and the infrastructure for the first cluster of residential Golf plots which are being made available for sale.
‐
As part of the Amanzoe disposal, Grivalia have agreed to purchase 20 Golf plots in Kilada Hills for a €10 million cash consideration, conditional on the Company securing a senior development loan for the project, the issuance of final building permits and the tendering of a construction contract for the project's first phase development. The Company is in advanced discussions with a major local bank in relation to the financing of the first phase of Kilada Hills project.
·
Sitia Bay, Greece
‐
On 18 January 2018, Dolphin entered into an agreement for the disposal of its 77.8% interest in the Sitia Bay Resort project to its minority partner in the project, Iktinos Hellas S.A., for a total consideration of €14 million which was equal to Sitia Bay's NAV after DITL as at 30 June 2017. The full consideration was received by the Company and the disposal was completed on 3 April 2018.
·
Triopetra, Greece
‐
On 5 February 2018 Dolphin entered into an agreement for the disposal of its 100% interest in the Triopetra project to Deniage Ltd, a Cyprus entity affiliated with a large Saudi Arabian investment group for a total cash consideration of €4.1m, of which an amount of €4m was received at closing and the remaining €100,000 will be withheld until the first anniversary of the transaction to cover any potential latent project liabilities. The disposal consideration of €4.1m represents a significant premium compared to Triopetra's NAV after DITL included in DCI's financial statements as at 30 June 2017.
·
Kea Resort, Greece
‐
The Company has continued to make progress tο satisfy the conditions precedent for the One&Only Kéa Island development, in order to start the construction of the project during Q4 of this year.
‐
The project designs have been revised to reflect the requirements of One&Only and comprise 75 guest rooms. The revised designs were submitted to the local authorities for approval and the new construction permits were issued on 7 July 2018. Detailed construction drawings have been completed and a formal tender for the construction of the project was initiated on 28 September 2018.
‐
The definitive documentation for a €30 million senior construction loan (as well as a VAT and subsidy bridge facility) is underway with a local bank which, on finalization, will complete the financing required for the construction of the One&Only Kéa Island in accordance with the existing development budget.
‐
In parallel, the designs for the One&Only Villas have been prepared and the formal launch of Villa sales will occur following the implementation of our JV agreement with One&Only expected later this year.

Operating Performance
-
Strong sales momentum continued in 2018, with 58 homes and plots sold during the first six months of 2018 and 75 homes and plots sold during the period through August 2018, representing total sales of €27.7 million during the first six months and €33.7 million for the period through August 2018 (a slight decrease of 9.8% on a year-on year basis).

The Company is encouraged by the sustained improvement in Aristo operations and the continued strong sales during 2018, which comes on top of the significant reduction in Aristo's bank debt burden achieved during 2017. On the back of this operational momentum, we are actively considering divestment alternatives for the realization of our holding in Aristo, as well as extracting some value in the form of shareholder distributions from Aristo's operating profits.
·
Nikki Beach, Porto Heli (a 25% DCI affiliate)
‐
The operations improved during 2018 compared to 2017. The occupancy for the first eight months of the 2018 operational period was 74% compared to 61% for the same period in 2017, with a net ADR of €217 and a RevPAR of €161 versus €241 and €148 respectively in 2017
‐
2018 is the second year that the Nikki Beach Resort and Spa at Porto Heli is being managed by a local white label operator (a commercial cooperation agreement was signed in February 2017). As a result, the Company has no financial exposure to the day-to-day operational performance of the hotel and receives monthly revenue-linked payments without incurring any hotel operating costs.
·
Apollo Heights
‐
The zoning and entitlement processes have not progressed due to delays attributed to the Local Government Authorities and the Sovereign (UK) Bases Administration. Together with the local communities representatives, we continue to lobby in order to have the relevant zones published before the end of 2018.
C. Market Dynamics
·
Greece
‐
Greece has successfully exited its final three-year bailout program agreed in August 2015 to help it cope with the continued fallout from the debt crisis. In parallel, the country realized a 1.8% year-on-year GDP increase in the second quarter of 2018 and the Hellenic Statistical Authority also revised higher growth rates of 2.5% (from 2.3%) year-on-year for the first quarter of 2018.
Greece's tourism sector is largely responsible for the GDP increase and inbound tourism to Greece in 2018 continued its upward trend of the previous years.
·
Cyprus
‐
Fitch has upgraded its rating on Cyprus' to 'BB+' from 'BB' because of the country's strong cyclical economic recovery and prudent fiscal policy. This rating is now just one step below investment grade and the outlook is positive, although the weakness in the banking sector is still a risk to public finances.
In addition, the GDP growth rate in real terms during the second quarter of 2018 is positive and estimated at +3.9% over the corresponding quarter of 2017.
For the period of January to June 2018, more than 1.6 million tourists visited the country, compared to 1.46 million for the same period last year, recording an increase of 12.4%. According to the country's Statistical Service, this number exceeds the total arrivals ever recorded in Cyprus during the first six months of the year.
·
Croatia
‐
In the first half of 2018, 6.4 million tourists visited Croatia, generating 25.4 million overnight stays, up 10% and 12% respectively on the year, according to the Croatian National Tourist Board. Of the coastal regions, Istria registered the most overnight stays (7.4 million), followed by Split- Dalmatia (4.5 million) and Primorje-Gorski Kotae (4.3 million).
·
Turkey
‐
According to the Turkish Statistics Institute, Turkey's economy slowed in the second quarter of 2018. The slowdown comes amid a Turkish currency crisis that saw the lira lose around 40% of its value since the beginning of the year.
In the second quarter of 2018, tourism income increased by 30.1% and for the first six months of the year foreign visitor numbers are up by 29%. However, the economic situation in Turkey remains challenging.

During 2017, the Company entered into new contracts in connection with the deferred purchase of land at Lavender Bay. The revised interest rate agreed on the outstanding consideration is lower than that one reflected in the previous contracts. As the new contracts have a retroactive effect, the interest accrued in prior years of c. €4 million was reversed during period ended 30 June 2017, resulting in the crystallization of corresponding finance income.
Our finance costs during the first six months of 2018 also increased by a €1.4 million FX loss resulting from the c. 15% devaluation of the Turkish Lira against the Euro during the period.

Notes:
1. Euro/GBP rate 0.88551 as at 30 June 2018 and 0.88773 as at 31 December 2017.
2. NAV per share has been calculated on the basis of 904,626,856 issued shares as at 30 June 2018 and as at 31 December 2017.
Total Group NAV as at 30 June 2018 was €220 million and €190 million before and after DTL respectively. This represents a decrease of €3 million (1.5%) and €4 million (2.1%), respectively, from the 31 December 2017 figures. Given that no valuation of the Company's portfolio took place as at 30 June 2018, the NAV reduction is mainly due to Dolphin's regular operational, corporate, finance and management expenses counterbalanced by the increase in the carrying value of Amanzoe to reflect the sales price.
Sterling NAV per share as at 30 June 2018 was 22p before DTL and 19p after DTL remaining stable compared to the respective figures as at 31 December 2017 since the factors mentioned above were not material to change the value per share. Furthermore Sterling remained almost unchanged against the Euro at the end of the period.
The Company's consolidated assets include €153 million of real estate assets, €225 million of assets held for sale, and €13 million in cash.
The balance of €153 million of real estate assets (property, plant and equipment, investment property and trading properties) represents the fair market valuation for both freehold and long leasehold interests.
The €225 million of assets held for sale includes €174 million of real estate assets, €44 million of investment in equity accounted investees (the Company's 47.9% interest in Aristo and its 25% interest in Nikki Beach as at 30 June 2018), €1 million of available-for-sale financial assets which represents the Company's investment in Itacare, €3 million of other assets and €3 million in cash. The €174 million figure comprises the aggregate total appraised value of the Company's Kea Resorts, Livka Bay and La Vanta projects as well as the value of Amanzoe based on the respective sale agreement.
The Company's consolidated liabilities (excluding DTL) total €171 million and mainly comprise €102 million of interest bearing loans and finance lease obligations (of which €82 million are classified as liabilities held for sale). All loans are held by Group subsidiaries and are non-recourse to Dolphin. The pro-forma Group total debt following the Amanzoe disposal which completed on 27 September amounts to €24 million, resulting in a pro forma gearing ratio for the Group of 9%.
The €69 million of trade and other payables and deferred revenue (including €38 million of trade and other payables and deferred revenue from state subsidies) comprise mainly €21 million of option contracts to acquire land in the Company's Lavender Bay project, €7 million deferred income from government grants received and €17 million of client advances from villa sales and hotel reservations.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
For the six-month period ended 30 June 2018
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 managed by Dolphin Capital Partners Limited (the 'Investment Manager'), an independent private equity management firm that specialises in real estate investments, primarily in south-east Europe. The shares of the Company were admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange ('AIM') on 8 December 2005.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018 comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the 'Group') and the Group's interests in associates.
2. Basis of preparation
(a) Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017. They are presented in euro (€), rounded to the nearest thousand.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 27 September 2018.
(b) Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018 have been prepared taking into account the Company's intention to dispose of all of its assets by 31 December 2019, as further explained below. The basis of preparation used continues to be in accordance with IAS 34.
Based on the Company's new asset strategy approved by its shareholders in December 2016, the Company's objective is to dispose of all of the Company's assets by 31 December 2019. The allocation of any additional capital investment into any of the Company's projects will be substantially sourced from third party capital providers and with the sole objective of enhancing the respective asset's realisation potential until 31 December 2019. The Board expects to return the proceeds from asset disposals to shareholders, as the orderly realisation of the Company's assets progresses after taking into account the Company's liquidity position and working capital requirements. In the event that any assets are still held by the Company shortly before 31 December 2019, the Board will convene a shareholders' meeting at which appropriate resolutions for the future of the Company will be proposed.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017.
Comparatives
Comparative figures have been adjusted to reflect the required changes in presentation in relation to the agreement to dispose the "Amanzoe" project and the presentation of its "Hotel and Leisure" segment as a discontinued operation (see note 10).
4. ESTIMATES
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017.
Going concern assumptions
The Group's cash flow forecasts for the foreseeable future involve uncertainties related primarily to the exact disposal proceeds and timing of disposals of the assets expected to be disposed of. Management believes that the proceeds from forecasted asset sales will be sufficient to maintain the Group's cash flow at a positive level. Should the need arise, management is confident that it can secure additional banking facilities and/or obtain waivers on existing ones, until planned asset sales are realised and proceeds received. If for any reason the Group is unable to continue as a going concern, then this could have an impact on the Group's ability to realise assets at their recognised values and to extinguish liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

4 Adjustments consist of intra-group eliminations.
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 2017 and the first half of 2018, 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 three years by the Cypriot government.
Greece
Gross Domestic Product of Greece grew 1.4% in 2017 compared to 2016 while the Hellenic Statistical Authority revised higher growth rates to +2.5% (from 2.3%) year-on-year for the first quarter of 2018 and the country also realized a 1.8% year-on-year GDP increase in the second quarter of 2018. In addition, macroeconomic indicators have been quite encouraging about the country's economic perspectives and following the upgrade in the country's credit rating by S&P in January 2018, Fitch and Moody's also proceeded with corresponding upgrades in February 2018 and made very favourable assessments of the Greek economy's progress. In August 2018 Greece successfully exited its final, three-year bailout program, agreed in August 2015 to help it cope with the continued fallout from a debt crisis.
The tourism sector is expected to have a significant impact on the recovery of the country's economy and on curbing the external trade deficit. According to the latest data issued by the Bank of Greece, more than 27 million tourists (excluding cruise passengers) arrived in Greece in 2017, recording a rise of c.10%, while travel receipts during the same period totalled €14.6 billion, up 10.5% compared to 2016. The balance of travel services in the January-June 2018 period showed a surplus of €3.76 million compared to a surplus of €3.14 million in the corresponding period in 2017, partly due to an 18.9 percent increase in travel receipts.
Cyprus
The emerging economic recovery has been reinforced since the conclusion of the three-year European Stability Mechanism financial assistance programme on 31 March 2016, placing the island amongst the highest accelerating economies in Europe with the economy expanding by 3.4% year-on-year in 2017, driven mainly by improved levels of private consumption and a record year for the tourism industry. GDP growth rate in real terms during the second quarter of 2018 is positive and estimated at +3.9% over the corresponding quarter of 2017.
Fitch has upgraded its rating on Cyprus' to 'BB+' from 'BB' because of the country's strong cyclical economic recovery and prudent fiscal policy. Fitch's rating on Cyprus is now just one step below investment grade and the outlook is positive, although the weakness in the banking sector is still a risk to public finances.
The available data for the tourism industry highlighted, once again, that tourism was amongst one of the key catalysts for the country's 2017 economic performance, Tourist arrivals in Cyprus recorded an impressive increase in 2017, according to the Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO). For the period of January - December 2017 tourist arrivals totalled 3.7 million, recording an increase of 14.6% and outnumbering the total arrivals ever recorded in Cyprus during a year. For the period of January to June 2018, more than 1.6 million tourists visited the country, compared to 1.46 million for the same period last year recording an increase of 12.4%. As reported by the country's Statistical Service, this number exceeds the total arrivals ever recorded in Cyprus during the first six months of the year.
10. DISCONTINUED OPERATION
Subsequent to 30 June 2018, as also mentioned in note 33, the Group entered into a conditional agreement for the disposal of DCI 14 (owner of 'Amanzoe' project in Greece). Part of Amanzoe constituted the 'Hotel and Leisure' operations of the Group, which as at 30 June 2018, is presented as a discontinued operation.
As at 30 June 2017, 'Hotel and Leisure' operation 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.
Also during the first quarter of 2017, the Group sold Pearl Island project ('Pearl Island' in Republic of Panama). Pearl Island constituted the operations of the Group in the geographical area of Americas, which as at 30 June 2017, was presented as a discontinued operation.

On 15 July 2013, the Company acquired 9.6 million shares, equivalent to 10% of Itacare's share capital, for the amount of €1.9 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%.
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 €34,389 thousand and €109,265 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 €45 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 €45 million, payable in quarterly instalments over three years and bearing annual interest of 4% in the first year, increasing to 5% and 6%, respectively, for each of the subsequent years. On 6 September 2016, the Company received €1.1 million in exchange for 105 DCI H2 shares, resulting in a gain on disposal of €151 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 five 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 was 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 €700 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 €4 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 €300 thousand in exchange for 33 DCI H2 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 remaining holding of its Aristo shares, which corresponds to 47.9%. The Board remains committed to dispose of its holding in Aristo and realise value.
As at 30 June 2018 and as at 31 December 2017, the Company's holding of 47.9% has been classified as asset held for sale.
As at 31 December 2017, the disposal groups comprised the following assets and liabilities:

During 2017, the Company entered into new contracts in connection with the deferred purchase of land at Lavender Bay. The amount outstanding as at 31 December 2017 was €21,048 thousand and payment will be made on 31 December 2025. As a result of a retroactive change in the interest rate charged on the outstanding consideration, an accrued interest payable amount of approximately €4 million has been reversed during the year ended 31 December 2017 and included in finance income in profit or loss.
A subsidiary of the Group is in dispute with a third party concerning a c. €4 million assignment of claims to this party by one of the subsidiary's contractors. Although the Group has recognized a €4 million provision regarding this claim, the Group's intention is to defend its position vigorously and its lawyers are handling the ongoing litigation. As at 30 June 2018, the €4 million provision is included in 'Trade and other payables' in Disposal Groups Held for Sale.

In line with the Amended and Restated IMA, signed in December 2016, with retroactive effect from 1 July 2016, the following arrangements came into effect:
i. Fixed management fee
The annual management fees for the second half of 2016 were retrospectively reduced from €8.5 million to €6.5 million per annum and have been set to a fixed declining annual amount equal to €6 million for 2017, €5 million for 2018 and €4 million for 2019.
Additionally, the term of the IMA has been reduced and will expire at the earlier of the end of the Divestment Period or 31 December 2019 rather than August 2020 as under the terms of the previous IMA. There will be no fixed management fee due for 2020.
ii. Variable management fee
A variable management fee has been introduced which will become payable solely upon the execution of each asset divestment by the Company. The variable management fee will be equal to a percentage of the enterprise value (i.e. the equity value of the asset plus any loans or other liabilities assumed by its purchaser) of any asset disposed by the Company during the Divestment Period at a valuation at or in excess of 50% of its latest reported NAV.
The variable management fee percentage will be equal to 3% for divestments executed within the second half 2016 and will be reduced to 2.5%, 2.0% and 1.3% for those concluded in 2017, 2018 and 2019 respectively, to the extent these are completed at 50% of relevant latest reported NAV. The variable management fee will increase in respect of transactions executed at sales prices exceeding 50% of their NAV.
The variable management fee will become payable to the Investment Manager three months from the completion of the respective disposal.
With regard to the disposal of Aristo and Pearl Island, the Manager will be entitled to a variable annual management fee equal to 3%, 2.5%, 2% and 1.3% on the portion of their corresponding Total Disposal Prices received by the Company within 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively.
The Investment Manager was entitled to a performance fee payable under the terms of the previous IMA. There is no change to this entitlement. However, any performance fees earned under this arrangement will be fully deducted from any future annual management fees and variable management fees payable over the term of the IMA.
28.3 Shareholder and development agreements
Shareholder agreements
On 6 August 2012, the Company signed an agreement for the sale of eight out of the nine remaining Seafront Villas. The total base net consideration agreed for this sale was €10 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 €1 million deposit was paid upon signing. During 2013, the Company received an additional amount of €990 thousand. Completion remains pending.

The consideration will be deployed in the development of the Kea Resort, with the transaction including the operation of the Kea Resort and its residences by One & Only through long-term management and branding agreements. Completion of the investment agreement is subject to the Company meeting certain conditions including the revision of the construction permits to reflect the redesign of the Kea Resort to meet One & Only brand standards and the completion of a €30 million senior loan facility against the project together with the finalisation of the turn-key construction contract. Completion and commencement of the Kea Resort's construction is also subject to an additional €4 million equity injection in the Kea Resort by third party investors.

32. Contingent liabilities
Companies of the Group are involved in pending litigation. Such litigation principally relates to day-to-day operations as a developer of second-home residences and largely derives from certain clients and suppliers. Based on advice from the Group's legal advisers, the Investment Manager believes that there is sufficient defence against any claim and does 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 condensed consolidated interim 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 variable management fee to the Investment Manager, which would be based on the relevant IMA provisions.
In addition to the tax liabilities that have already been provided for in the condensed consolidated interim 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 favour of other parties.
33. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On 1 August 2018, the Group entered into a conditional agreement for the disposal of its 100% interest in the Amanzoe project and the sale of 20 Kilada Hills Golf plots to Grivalia.
Grivalia will purchase the Group's entire shareholding interest in Amanzoe through the acquisition of 100% of the shares in DCI 14, the holding company owning the project, for a total cash consideration of €5.8 million. Completion of the disposal is conditional on the completion of certain procedural steps for the transfer of the respective shares and the finalization of certain legal opinions relating to the transaction.
As part of the agreement, Grivalia will purchase 20 Golf plots in Dolphin's Kilada Hills Golf project for a €10 million cash consideration. Completion is conditional on the Company securing a senior development loan for the project, the issuance of final building permits and the tendering of a construction contract for the project's first phase development.
There were no other material events after the reporting period which have a bearing on the understanding of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at 30 June 2018.
