Chairman's statement
I am pleased to present the unaudited interim financial statements of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2022.
The unaudited net asset value as at 30 June 2022 was
During the period, the Company generated revenues of
Camping South Beach EOOD ("CSB")
Throughout 2022 CSB continued operating in the challenging environment marked by the far-reaching economic consequences of the war in
The company struggled to preserve its position as a destination for luxury camping holidays and beach houses in the significant political and economic uncertainty created by the
Following the trend from the previous years, during the period CSB relied to a great extent on domestic demand for high-end luxury camping holidays. It has to be noted that, due to the relaxation of travelling Covid restrictions, many domestic tourists have chosen overseas holiday destinations which negatively influenced the expected occupancy levels.
Camping South Beach achieved occupancy levels of around 44% in July and 50% in August 2022. The occupancy levels reflect the overall economic uncertainty, the rapidly rising inflation levels due to energy and raw materials price increase.
Nevertheless, CSB has continued to provide hospitality services at highest standards in a safe environment.
Chairman's Statement (continued)
2022 marked the second active season under the Concession Agreement for the beach in front of the location, adding value to the property and enabling synergy with the camp site. The term of the Concession Agreement is 20 years. According to the Concession Agreement, the investment requirements for 2022 amount to
Though the outcome for 2023 is unclear due to the severe international political situation, CSB will strive to strengthen its position and will benefit from its competitive advantage due to its prime location at the beachfront of one of the widest and most beautifully-preserved beaches on the Black Sea coast.
Ivan Vazov 1 Building
In April 2022 the company started reconstruction works for the historic Ivan Vazov building in central
The building consists of a basement floor, five floors and an attic floor with total build-up area of 9 107 m2. The attic floor will be converted into a mansard floor with the reconstruction of the roof.
As the building is a historical monument (according to the National Institute of Cultural Monuments) not only the outside, but also the inside of the building with elements such as the columns, the profiled cornices, the figures of Atlanteans and the mask of Goddess on the façade and the iron ornamental wrought of the entrance doors will be renovated.
The Company is carrying out all of the works in line with the applicable regulations.
In parallel to the reconstruction process the renting out process of the premises will proceed.
Byala Plots of Land ("Byala")
The public procedure for the Urban Master Plan of Byala municipality region by the authorities has commenced, but the approval process is not yet finished.
The Company is planning the development of plots of land at Byala as a camping site with luxury bungalows, which is anticipated to be complementary to existing investments at CSB. The project will add value to the portfolio of the Company reflecting the high demand of close-to-nature camp sites offering a safe and secure environment for visitors.
Events after reporting date
Acquisition of Star Mil
Black Sea Property PLC, through its subsidiary has completed the purchase of a 100% stake in Star Mil EOOD, and acquired all outstanding loans due to its previous parent company, on 18 July 2022. The total consideration paid for Star Mil is approximately € 5.15 million. Star Mil owns the Black Sea Star hotel complex, located in a prime location on the Black Sea Coast, behind the Company's existing site at Camping Gradina. The rationale behind the investment is the opportunity for synergy and economy of scale with the joint development and management of Camping Gradina and Black Sea Star.
Chairman's Statement (continued)
The acquisition was partialy financed through a loan from a leading Bulgarian commercial bank amounting to approximately € 4.2 million for the acquisition of all receivables of Star Mil. The funding was secured by a commercial mortgage on the property of Star Mil and the Company agreed to provide additional security to the bank in accordance with normal commercial practice. The Company financed the outstanding € 1 million of the consideration by way of cash.
Outlook
The impact of the severe political and economic situation due to the war in
Energy and raw material prices have risen sharply, further accelerating inflationary pressures.
The Directors are taking cautious measures to diminish and manage the cash flow and cost base of the Company and are confident that the business is well equipped to withstand this near-term uncertainty.
The Company will follow its strategy to invest in real estate assets in

9. Taxation
Isle of Man
There is no taxation payable on the Company's or its Jersey subsidiaries' results as they are based in the Isle of Man and in Jersey respectively where the Corporate Income Tax rates for resident companies are 0% (2021: 0%). Additionally, neither the Isle of Man nor Jersey levies tax on capital gains.
Consequently, shareholder's resident outside of the Isle of Man and Jersey will not incur any withholding tax in those jurisdictions on any distributions made to them.
Bulgaria
Subsidiaries of the Company incorporated in Bulgaria are taxed in accordance with the applicable tax laws of Bulgaria. The Bulgarian corporate tax rate for the year was 10% (2021: 10%).
No deferred tax assets are recognised on trading losses in the subsidiary companies as there is significant uncertainty as to whether sufficient future profits will be available in order to utilise these losses.
A reconciliation of the tax charge for the year to the standard rate of corporation tax for the Isle of Man of 0% (2021: 0%) is shown below.
