Country 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 2014, with both
international tourism and wealth continuing to grow, even though economic
activity in two of Group's primary markets, Greece and Cyprus, continued to
face significant challenges, with the most notable effect on the Group's
businesses being the scarcity of senior bank debt to finance the construction
of the development portfolio. However, the business climate is slowly, but
steadily improving in both regions, assisted by the legislative reforms
implemented during the past year by both the Greek and the Cypriot
governments. 
 
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 have
significantly stabilised. Greek tourism has witnessed impressive growth during
the first eight months of 2014.  Tourist arrivals in Greece from January to
August 2014 increased by almost 16% compared to the same period of 2013, based
on preliminary results issued by the country's main airports. This remarkable
performance has led to the upward revision of the estimated international
arrivals for 2014 from an initial 19 million to an all-time record of 19.5
million (despite the loss of additional tourist arrivals from Russia and
Ukraine due to the political instability).The debt crisis has also been a
catalyst in adopting a faster entitlement process for development projects in
Greece. In particular, the introduction of the Strategic Investment incentive
legislation in Greece, which should be applicable to most of the Group's local
projects due to their quality, size and potential impact on the local economy,
speeds up and improves zoning entitlements and building permits for Group
residential resort projects in the country. 
 
The crisis of sovereign debt affected the Cypriot economy with a time lag,
causing negative effects not only on public finances but also in the banking
system. Despite the fact that the Government tried to react promptly and
effectively by preparing a fiscal consolidation programme, the country
captured the world' s attention in 2013 as it fought hard to bounce back from
the brink of bankruptcy through intense negotiations with international
lenders. The so called 'bail in' decision of the Eurozone included imposing
losses on depositors with amounts extending E100,000, a closed banking system
for two weeks and extensive capital controls. 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 and increase the value and
saleability of its larger projects. Significant value will also be unlocked
through the expected zoning of the Apollo Heights Resort, following the
agreement reached by the Cypriot and UK governments to permit for development
such projects falling within the Sovereign British Areas.Tourist arrivals in
Cyprus for the period January-August 2014 totalled approximately 1.7 million,
representing a 6% increase from the corresponding period in 2013.

8. EARNINGS/(LOSS) per share 
 
Basic earnings/(loss) per share 
 
Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss)
attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings/(loss) per share 
 
Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the profit/(loss)
attributable to owners and the number of common shares outstanding to assume
conversion of all dilutive potential shares. During the period, the Company
has 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 convertible bonds issued by the Company, are excluded from the calculation
of diluted earnings/(loss) per share for the periods ended 30 June 2014 and
2013 because of their anti-dilutive effect. 
 
The average market value of the Company's shares for the purpose of
calculating the dilutive effect of warrants and convertible loans was based on
quoted market prices.

The above shareholding interest percentages are rounded to the nearest
integer. 
 
During the period, the Company's investment in its equity accounted investee,
DCI H2, increased by E43,251 thousand, compared to the decrease of E76,730
thousand during the year 2013.  DCI H2's equity fluctuations for both periods
relate to revaluation gains and losses on its property land bank.  The
decrease recognized in 2013 was principally driven by the reduction in value
of the Venus Rock project, whose fair value has been adjusted to reflect the
purchase price agreed with China Glory Investment Group ('CGIG').  Considering
the fact that the agreement with CGIG was eventually terminated on 10 June
2014, the property of Venus Rock was revalued during the current period based
on a valuation of independent professional valuers carried out with an
effective date 31 March 2014. 
 
The extended recession in Cyprus and the CGIC agreement terms not allowing the
company to market its Venus Rock property, have rendered DCI H2 unable to
service its bank loans.  The company, however, has recently completed most
bank loan restructurings, rescheduling its loan repayments over a longer
period and significantly reducing its debt service obligations for 2015 and
2016.  The company is also in final stage discussions aiming to reach an
agreement to restructure its respective loan facilities with its major bank
lender.  DCI H2's bank loans are fully secured primarily with mortgages
against immovable property of its subsidiaries. There are no floating charges
or pledges of shares relating to these bank loans. 
 
If the plans of divestiture of the Venus Rock project do not materialize, and
DCI H2 does not secure funds from its subsidiaries and 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
situation, the timing of these disposals and the eventual disposal proceeds
cannot be forecasted and could have an impact on the Company's investment in
DCI H2. 
 
As of 30 June 2014, Aristo, DCI H2's largest subsidiary, had a total of E2.4
million (31 December 2013: E2.4 million) contractual capital commitments on
property, plant and equipment and a total of E46 million (31 December 2013:
E45 million) bank guarantees arising in the ordinary course of 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 Group's
bank loans. 
 
SPV 5 had a total of E3 million (31 December 2013: E5.1 million) contractual
capital commitments on property, plant and equipment.
