Highlights:

  • At 30 June 2024, the total Group Net Asset Value ("NAV") was €123.7 million. This represents a decrease of €2.4 million (2.0%) compared to 31 December 2023. The NAV reduction is principally due to operating, finance, corporate and management expenses.
  • The net loss, after tax attributable to the owners of the company, was €2.77 million (2023: loss €3.36 million).
  • Following the notification of the Company's report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 on 16 January and the publication of these interim results for the 6 months ended 30 June 2024, the Company's ordinary shares, which have been suspended from trading since 1 July 2024, will be restored to trading on AIM with effect from 07:30 a.m. tomorrow.

I am pleased to report on the Interim results for the first half of 2024.

The Company remains focused on enhancing its corporate governance and implementing the new investment policy and realisation strategy approved by shareholders in December 2021. The Directors will continue to oversee the Company's operations, manage its assets, and work towards their sale in line with the new policy, while also returning surplus capital to shareholders.

Since the removal of Dolphin Capital Partners as investment manager on 20 2023, and Miltos Kambourides from the board of DCI Advisors Ltd on March 18, 2023, the Company has entered a stabilisation phase. During this time, efforts have been focused on securing and managing its assets, preparing them for sale. Construction at Kilada Hills has resumed, with improved cost-efficiency to ensure the completion of Phase One, which is when the asset is expected to be sold. Asset sale processes already underway have remained on track, although none have yet reached a conclusion that requires notification.

Extraordinary General Meeting - 18th December 2024

At the EGM held on 19th December 2024, shareholders approved the redomicile of the Company from the British Virgin Islands to Guernsey and this duly happened on 23 December 2024. The Board would like to thank shareholders for their engagement in passing this resolution. The new Articles of Association of the Company contain a mechanism to enable it to return surplus capital to shareholders.

Summary of Financial Performance

At the 30 June 2024, the Net Asset value of the Company measured as the equity attributable to owners of the Company was € 123.7 million (31 December 2023: €126.1 million) representing a decrease of 2% compared to 31 December 2023. The net loss, after tax attributable to the owners of the company, was €2.77 million (2023: loss €3.36 million).

Additional Director

It is our intention to appoint a new independent Director in the coming months in order to enhance the corporate governance within the Company. We will update shareholders as soon as the process has been completed.

At the request of DCI Advisors' substantial shareholder, Almitas Capital, there will be further EGM on 28th February 2025 to propose that Martin Adams be re-elected to the Board as a non-executive Director. Your Directors will communicate their response to this requisition shortly.

I would like to thank shareholders and our numerous service providers for the support and confidence that they have given the Board in proceeding with the changes outlined above.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORTING ENTITY

DCI Advisors Ltd (Formerly: Dolphin Capital Investors Ltd) (the 'Company') was incorporated and registered in the British Virgin Islands ('BVI') on 7 June 2005 and on 23 December 2024 it migrated from the BVI to Guernsey in The Channel Islands. The Company is a real estate investment company focused on the early-stage, large-scale leisure-integrated residential resorts in the Eastern Mediterranean. The Company was managed, until 20 March 2024, by Dolphin Capital Partners Ltd (the 'Investment Manager'), an independent private management firm that specialises in real estate investments, primarily in south-east Europe, and thereafter the Company became self-managed. The shares of the Company were admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange ('AIM') on 8 December 2005.

With effect from 01 June 2023, the name of the Company was changed from Dolphin Capital Investors Ltd to DCI Advisors Ltd.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the 'Group') and the Group's interests in equity-accounted investees. These interim financial statements have not been subject to an audit.

  • basis of preparation
  • Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023 ('last annual financial statements'). They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Standards. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements. 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 23 January 2025.

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will be able to discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

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 forecast asset sales will be sufficient to maintain the Group's cash flow at a positive level. Should the need arise, management will take actions to reduce costs and is confident that it can secure additional loan facilities and/or obtain repayment extension on existing ones, until planned asset sales are realised and proceeds received.

Ιf, 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.

Based on these factors, management has a reasonable expectation that the Group has and will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

The above outstanding amount bears an annual interest rate equal to the inflation rate, which cannot exceed 2% p.a.. Full settlement is due on 31 December 2025. The Group is in negotiations with the land creditor with a view to ensuring that no additional funds are paid to them under the sale and purchase contracts until the resolution of the legal dispute with the Greek State and, also to reduce the overall quantum of the Group's deferred liabilities to them, potentially swapping all or part of the deferred payments against equity in the project.
