Chairman's Statement

Chairman's statement

I am pleased to present the unaudited interim financial statements of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2021.

The unaudited net asset value as at 30 June 2021 was EUR21.8 million or 1.20 cents per share (30 December 2020: EUR22.4 million or 1.23 cents per share).

During the period, the Company generated revenues of EUR207,147 (June 2020: EUR129,476) which resulted in a loss before taxation of EUR593,746 (June 2020: EUR72,420). The results reflected other income of EUR213,543 (June 2020: EUR911,705), property operating expenses of EUR271,863 (June 2020: EUR381,301), other operating expenses of EUR278,605 (June 2020: EUR457,688) and interest payable and other charges of EUR390,939 (June 2020: EUR274,612). Loss per share amounted to EUR0.03 cents (June 2020: EUR0.01 cents).

Camping South Beach EOOD ("CSB")

During the period, the trend for high domestic demand in the hospitality segment continued from 2020. Camping South Beach strengthened its position as a destination for luxury camping holidays and beach houses, providing a safe environment and adhering to the highest standards for social distancing.

Nevertheless, the expected occupancy levels were adversely influenced due to significant Covid restrictions impacting international travel. However, CSB did benefit from the consequential rise in domestic demand, achieving occupancy levels of 75% in July 2021 and 81.5% in August 2021.

This year marked the first active season under the recently-signed Concession Agreement for the beach and CSB successfully entered into several newly-signed tenancy agreements with restaurant operators.

The Bulgarian tourist segment in 2021 was mainly driven by domestic travel. CSB benefits from the increased trends within the Bulgarian hospitality market towards camping holidays in local markets which allow for social distancing while holidaying within the country.

Ivan Vazov 1 Building

In August after a lengthy approvals process with the authorities in Sofia, the Company received permission to reconstruct one of the Company's principal investments, the historic Ivan Vazov building in central Sofia.

As part of the Company's development plan, the Company will convert the internal space into luxury, high specification offices, with the attic floor being reconstructed and converted into a mansard roof space.

The Company is planning to commence reconstruction works at the Ivan Vazov building in October 2021. The Company is firmly committed to carry out all of the works in line with the applicable regulations.

ECDC Group

In July 2021, one of the investment properties in Plovdiv held by the ECDC Malta Company was sold for cash consideration of approx. EUR1.06 million. The property was valued at EUR0.83 million at the time of acquisition by Black Sea Property in February 2020. The proceeds of the disposal were used to repay debt and for general working capital purposes.

On 30 September 2021, Black Sea Property agreed to sell the remaining assets of ECDC Group for cash consideration of EUR4.5 million. Those assets were valued by the Company at EUR2.5 million at the time of the sale. The proceeds of the disposal will be used to repay debt and for general working capital purposes.

Change of Registered Office and Registered Agent

In March 2021, the Company appointed Crowe Trust Isle of Man Limited to act as Administrator and Registered Agent.

With effect from 31 March 2021, the Company changed its registered office to 6th Floor, Victory House, Prospect Hill, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 1EQ.

Appointment of a Director

The Company appointed Simon Hudd as the Company's Non-executive Chairman on 26 February 2021.

We are not yet able to assess fully the impact of the current restrictions on the results for the period ending 30 June 2021 as a result of the continuing impact of Covid-19 but, in the meantime, we are managing closely our cash flow and cost base. We believe that the potential for our camping operations with the refurbishment of the Ivan Vazov 1 will add significant value in due course.

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the contents of this announcement.

The consideration paid for ECD Cayman and ECD Management in total was EUR3,582,638. Both companies were subsidiaries of European Convergence Development Company PLC, Isle of Man ("ECDC").

The main rationale for the acquisition of interests in ECD Cayman Group includes: the opportunity to add two development plots suitable for logistics/industrial development (the site in Plovdiv) and residential, commercial or hospitality development (the site in Kraimorie), thus diversifying BSP portfolio. Both ECD Cayman and ECDC have established structures in place that will save time and costs for future investments.

10. Intangible assets

At the end of 2020, after participating in an open concession award procedure, the Group through Camping South Beach received the concession rights over the sea beach "Camping Gradina". During the active summer season of 2020 the beach is managed by CSB under the terms of a lease agreement. The concession agreement enters into force on 17.10.2020, and at the beginning of 2021 the handover of the sea beach by the grantor Ministry of Tourism to the concessionaire was carried out. The term of the contract is 20 years. The concession contract of CSB grants the right to operate the sea beach, performing alone or through subcontractors providing visitors to the sea beach of the following services: beach services, including the provision of umbrellas and sunbeds, services in fast food restaurants, sports and entertainment services, water attraction services, health and rehabilitation services and other events, after prior agreement with the grantor. A condition for operation of the concession site is the implementation of mandatory activities, which include provision of water rescue activities, security of the adjacent water area, health and medical services for beach users, sanitary and hygienic maintenance of the beach, maintenance for use of the elements of the technical infrastructure, the temporary connections, the movable objects, the facilities and their safe functioning.
