Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to present the financial statements of Black Sea
Property PLC ("Black Sea Property" or the "Company") for the year
ended 31 December 2021.
The net asset value as at 31 December 2021 was EUR 24,930,250 or
1.37 cents per share (2020: EUR 22,392,434 or 1.23 cents per
share).
The Company generated revenues from camping reservations of EUR
1,246,616 (2020: EUR 955,157). This resulted in earnings per share
of 0.14 cents (2020: 0.02 cents).
Investments
Camping South Beach EOOD ("CSB")
In 2021 the hospitality segment continued operating in the
challenging Covid-19 pandemic environment, that has so far
significantly disturbed everyday life and economic activity.
Nevertheless Camping South Beach succeeded to strengthen its
position as a destination for luxury camping holidays and beach
houses, which resulted in further revenue generation in the
season.
The competitive advantage of CSB is that it provides
fully-equipped self-catering luxury houses located at the
beachfront, offering breathtaking views of the sea.
Again the Bulgarian summer tourist 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.
During the high season CSB achieved occupancy levels of 75% in
July 2021 and 81.5% in August 2021, a trend that is expected to
continue in 2022.
At the end of 2020, CSB won a tender procedure for a concession
of approximately 79 978 sq m of beach in front of the property, for
a term of 20 years (the "Concession"). 2021 marked the first active
season under the Concession Agreement for the beach adding value to
the property and enabling synergy with the camp site.
The high-end restaurants in close proximity to CSB and high
quality maintenance of the infrastructure upgrade the hospitality
service.
In accordance with the terms of the Concession agreement, the
company has to fulfill certain mandatory activities, also engaging
subcontractors where necessary, including: 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.
The investment requirements as per the Concession agreement in
infrastructure and improvements for 2021 amounted to EUR 201 000
and were completed by CSB and by subcontractors in the period
2020-2021. The investment requirements for 2022 amount to EUR 76
182 and are gradually fulfilled.
The fair value of the investment property in CSB at the year-end
was EUR16,230,000 which represents an increase of EUR 190,000 above
the value at the end of the previous year.
Outlook for 2022
The expectation is that CSB will rely mostly on Bulgarian
tourists, however taking into account the winter season results, an
increased number of foreign tourists from Western Europe and the UK
could be anticipated.
However, the economic consequences of the war in Ukraine are
far-reaching and unpredictable. Energy and raw material prices have
risen sharply, further accelerating inflationary pressures from
supply chain disruptions.
Over the years, an insignificant part of the revenues was
generated by tourists from the countries affected by the conflict,
and the forecasts prepared by the management for the summer season
2022 do not include revenues from this segment. However, the
development of the conflict and its impact on the overall economic
situation is unpredictable.
Ivan Vazov 1 Building
In July 2021, after a long approval process, the historical Ivan
Vazov building received a building permit for reconstruction of the
roof and the building.
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.
Simultaneously with the restoration of the historical value of
the building it is planned to be converted into a luxury office
space meeting the highest requirements of the office segment.
During the period the company has revised and extended lending
terms with a leading Bulgarian commercial bank for the
reconstruction works of the Ivan Vazov Building. The Funding is for
a term of 12 years.
The bank has agreed to lend the Company up to approximately
GBP2.0 million in agreed allocated tranches for the reconstruction,
which need to be utilized within agreed timescales.
The Ivan Vazov 1 Building was valued at EUR 11 184 730 at 31
December 2021 which includes EUR 34 730 assets under construction
(note 9), which represents an increase of EUR 210 730 above the
balance at the end of the previous year.
In April 2022 the company started reconstruction works for the
building that is planned to be completed by the end of Q1 2023.
Byala Plots of Land ("Byala")
During the period the public procedure for the Urban Master Plan
of Byala municipality region was preceded by the Authorities but
has not been approved yet.
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.
Byala plots were valued at EUR10 730 000 at 31 December 2021
(note 9), which represents an increase of EUR 220,000 above the
balance at the end of the previous year.
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 after receipt
and completion of the conditions will be used to repay debt and for
general working capital purposes .
Outlook
Recent signs indicate that the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic
has reduced to some extent, however the Company is not able to
assess the full impact of the war in Ukraine. The economic
consequences will be far-reaching and unpredictable. Energy and raw
material prices have risen sharply, further accelerating
inflationary pressures from supply chain disruptions.
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 Directors believe that CSB will attract strong rental demand
from both domestic and also other European customers for the 2022
season following Over the years, an insignificant part of the
revenues of the Group were generated by tourists from the countries
affected by the conflict, and the forecasts prepared by the
management for the summer season 2022 do not include revenues from
this segment. However, the escalation of the conflict and its
impact on the overall economic situation is unpredictable.
The reconstruction of Ivan Vazov Building and the subsequent
letting of the office premises will generate returns for the
Company in due course.

Corporate Governance
The Company is committed to applying the highest principles of
corporate governance commensurate with its size.
While the Company is not required to comply in full with the
provisions set out in the UK Corporate Governance Code Issued by
the Financial Reporting Council, or to comment on its compliance
with the provisions of that Code, the Board is nevertheless
accountable to shareholders for the good corporate governance of
the Company.
The Board consists of four Directors and holds at least four
board meetings annually. Matters which would normally be referred
to appointed committees, such as the Audit, Remuneration and
Nomination Committees, are dealt with by the Board as a whole.
Going concern
The Group had EUR5,232,940 current assets at 31 December 2021,
the majority of which are related party receivables, cash and cash
equivalents and other receivables.
Accordingly, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that
the Company and the Group will continue in operational existence
for the foreseeable future, and for a period of at least 12 months
from the date of signing of these financial statements. Therefore,
the financial statements have been prepared as a going concern.
Post balance sheet events
Revised Lending agreed on Ivan Vazov Building refurbishment
The company entered into an agreement with Unicredit Bulbank AD
("Uni|Credit"), a leading Bulgarian commercial bank, which involved
revised and extended lending terms for the construction of the Ivan
Vazov 1 Building.
The bank has agreed to lend the Company up to BGN 4,498,409
(approximately GBP2.0 million) in agreed allocated tranches for the
reconstruction, which need to be utilised within agreed timescales.
The Funding will be secured by a commercial mortgage on the
property and the Company has agreed to provide additional security
to the bank in accordance with normal commercial practice.
Lending agreed from Neo London Capital AD
The company agreed and entered into lending terms with its major
shareholder Neo London Capital AD for deposits that may be required
in relation to the exploration of future property development
opportunities.
Neo London Capital AD has agreed to lend the Company up to
EUR2,500,000 in agreed allocated tranches for the exploration,
which need to be utilised within agreed timescales. The Funding is
un-secured and is for a term of 3 months from the date the funding
is provided.
Statement of Director's Responsibilities
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report
and the Group financial statements in accordance with applicable
law and regulations.
The Directors are required to prepare Group financial statements
for each financial year. The Directors have elected to prepare the
Group financial statements in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as adopted by the United
Kingdom and applicable law.
The Directors must not approve the financial statements unless
they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state
of affairs of the Group and of its profit or loss for that period.
In preparing each of the Group financial statements, the Directors
are required to:
-- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable, relevant and reliable;
-- state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs;
-- assess the Group's ability to continue as a going concern,
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern;
and
-- use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either
intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no
realistic alternative but to do so.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting
records that are sufficient to show and explain the Group's
transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the
financial position of the Group and enable them to ensure that its
financial statements comply with the Isle of Man Companies Act
2006. They are responsible for such internal control as they
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such
steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the
Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity
of the corporate and financial information included on the Group's
website. Legislation in the Isle of Man governing the preparation
and dissemination of financial statements may differ from
legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Black Sea
Property Plc
Opinion
Our opinion on the financial statements is unmodified
We have audited the financial statements of Black Sea Property
Plc (the 'company') and its subsidiary companies (the 'group') for
the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Consolidated
Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity,
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their
preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the United Kingdom.
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-- give a true and fair view of the state of the group's affairs
as at 31 December 2021 and of its profit for the year then
ended;
-- have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as
adopted by the United Kingdom; and
-- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the
Isle of Man Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International
Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial
statements section of our report. We are independent of the group
in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to
our audit of the financial statements, including the FRC's Ethical
Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities
in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion.
The impact of macro-economic uncertainties on our audit
Our audit of the financial statements requires us to obtain an
understanding of all relevant uncertainties, including those
arising as a consequence of the effects of macro-economic
uncertainties such as Covid-19. All audits assess and challenge the
reasonableness of estimates made by the Board and the related
disclosures and the appropriateness of the going concern basis of
preparation of the financial statements. All of these depend on
assessments of the future economic environment and the group's
future operational arrangements.
Covid-19 continues to be one of the most significant economic
events currently faced by companies. It has continued to have an
impact on the results of the group in the year to 31 December 2021
although the situation has improved from the previous year. We
applied a standardised firm-wide approach in response to these
uncertainties when assessing the group's future operational
arrangements. However, no audit should be expected to predict the
unknowable factors or all possible future implications for an
entity associated with these particular events.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the
directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in the
preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any
material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that,
individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the
group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at
least twelve months from when the financial statements are
authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors
with respect to going concern are described in the relevant
sections of this report.
In our evaluation of the directors' conclusions, we considered
the risks associated with the group's business model, including
effects arising from macro-economic uncertainties such as Covid-19,
and analysed how those risks might affect the company's financial
resources or ability to continue operations over the period of at
least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are
authorised for issue. In accordance with the above, we have nothing
to report in these respects.
However, as we cannot predict with certainty all future events
or conditions and as any subsequent events may result in outcomes
that are inconsistent with judgements that were reasonable at the
time they were made, the absence of reference to a material
uncertainty in this auditor's report cannot be viewed as a
guarantee as the group's ability to continue as a going
concern.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements of the current period and include the most significant
assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to
fraud) that we identified. These matters included those which had
the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation
of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the
engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our
audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these
matters.
This is not a complete list of all risks identified by our
audit.

---------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------
Key observations
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of our work we concluded that the receivable
is in agreement with the sale agreement and is fully
recoverable.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our application of materiality
We define materiality as the magnitude of a misstatement in the
financial statements that makes it probable that the economic
decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person would be changed or
influenced. We use materiality in determining the nature, timing
and extent of our audit work and in evaluating the results of that
work.
The materiality for the group was set at EUR658,000, which
equates to 1.5% of group total assets at the planning stage of our
audit. This benchmark was considered to be the most appropriate
given the nature of the asset based group. We chose not to revise
our materiality threshold throughout the course of the audit once
the final property valuation figures were known as this would
result in a higher materiality to that set at planning which we did
not feel was appropriate.
We use a different level of materiality, performance
materiality, to drive the extent of our testing. This was set at
60% of the financial statement materiality which reflects our
assessment of risk inherent in the audit.
We determined the threshold at which we will report individual
audit differences to the Board to be EUR32,900. In addition, we
communicate misstatements below that threshold that, in our view,
warrant reporting on qualitative grounds.
An overview of the scope of our audit
Our audit approach was based on a thorough understanding of the
group's business and is risk-based. Our audit was scoped by
obtaining an understanding of the group and its environment,
including the group's system of internal control, and assessing the
risk of material misstatement at the group level.
A full scope audit was carried out on most components of the
group. For the subsidiaries sold in the year audit procedures were
carried out over the valuation of assets and liabilities at the
date of sale.
Detailed audit instructions were issued to the auditors of the
components which detailed the significant risks that were to be
addressed through the audit and indicated the information that
needed to be reported back to the group audit team. The group audit
team communicated with all component auditors throughout the
planning, fieldwork and concluding stages of the local audits.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The
other information comprises the information included in the
Chairman's Statement and the Directors' Report set out on pages 2
to 7, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report
thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the
other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly
stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is
materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies
or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine
whether there is a material misstatement in the financial
statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If,
based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a
material misstatement of this other information, we are required to
report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities
statement set out on page 7, the directors are responsible for the
preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied
that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control
as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are
responsible for assessing the group's ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the
directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial
statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is
a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable
of detecting irregularities, including fraud
The objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risks
of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud
or error; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding
the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error;
and to respond appropriately to those risks. Owing to the inherent
limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material
misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even
though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance
with the ISAs (UK).
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in
respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with
laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
- The Group is subject to laws and regulations that directly
affect the financial statements including financial reporting
legislation. We determined that the following laws and regulations
were most significant including IFRS as adopted by the United
Kingdom, the Isle of Man Companies Act 2006, Bulgarian and Jersey
company law, the listing regulations of the Aquis stock exchange
and taxation laws. We assessed the extent of compliance with these
laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related
financial statement items.
- We understood how the group is complying with those legal and
regulatory frameworks by making inquiries to management and those
responsible for legal and compliance procedures. We corroborated
our inquiries through our review of minutes and documents provided
to the board.
- We assessed the susceptibility of the group's financial
statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might
occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team
included:
-- identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of
controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
-- understanding how those charged with governance considered
and addressed the potential for override of controls or other
inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process;
-- challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in
its significant accounting estimates; and
-- identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any unusual journal entry postings.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of
the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting
Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This
description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body,
in accordance with the terms of our engagement. Our audit work has
been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members
those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's
report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than
the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit
work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2021
1) General information
Black Sea Property PLC (the "Company") was originally
incorporated in Jersey and re-domiciled to the Isle
of Man with effect from 20 July 2016 and continues under the
Isle of Man Companies Act 2006 with
registered number 013712V.
The Company seeks to generate capital gains through the
development, financing and sale of property in Bulgaria, including
the prime areas of Bulgaria's Black Sea coast, the ski resorts and
the capital, Sofia. The Company has five wholly owned Jersey
subsidiaries. In 2020 the parent-company purchased the ECDC group,
including entities in Cayman Islands, Malta, Cyprus, Romania and
Bulgaria. This ECDC group was subsequently sold in the current
year. The financial statements represent the financial position and
effects of the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries
(collectively referred as the "Group").
2) Summary of significant accounting policies
a) Basis of preparation
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of
the financial statements are set out below. These policies have
been consistently applied throughout the year, unless otherwise
stated.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis under the historical-cost convention as modified by the
revaluation of financial assets held at fair value through profit
or loss and investment properties that have been measured at fair
value.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and International
Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC")
interpretations as applicable to an Isle of Man company under the
Companies Act 2006.
Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS
requires the Directors to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates and associated
assumptions are based on historical experience and various other
factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, and are reviewed on an on-going basis. The Directors
believe that the estimates utilised in preparing its financial
statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ
from these estimates. The most significant accounting estimate
affecting the financial statements is the valuation of investment
property (see note 3).
b) Standards and amendments which are first effective for the
period beginning 1 January 2021
-- Amendment to IFRS 9, IAS 39 - Interest rate benchmark reform.
This requires entities to update the effective interest rate to
reflect the change to the alternative benchmark rate rather than
derecognise or adjust the carrying amount of financial instruments
for changes required by the reform. Also, it requires companies to
provide additional information to investors on potential new risks
from the reform and how it manages the transition to the
alternative benchmark rate. This amendment will be applied
prospectively.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2021
-- Amendments to IAS 1 'Presentation of financial statements'
and IAS 8 'Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and
errors' - Definition of material. This has been applied and do not
have significant impact on the financial statements.
-- Amendment to conceptual framework. The framework is not an
IFRS standard and does not override any standard. This amendment
will be applied prospectively.
c) New standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effective and not early
adopted
A number of new standards are effective for annual periods
beginning after 1 January 2021 and earlier application is
permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted the new or
amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial
statements.
-- Amendments to IAS 12 'Deferred Tax related to Assets and
Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction. Effective date for
annual periods on or after 1 January 2023.
-- Amendments to IAS 1 'Presentation of financial statements' on
classification of liabilities.
Effective date for annual periods on or after 1 January
2023.
d) Basis of consolidation
The financial statements comprise the results of the Company and
its subsidiaries as set out in note 15. Subsidiaries in which the
Company has the ability to exercise control are fully consolidated.
Control is defined as having exposure, or rights, to variable
returns due to involvement in an investee and the ability to affect
those returns.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains and
losses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. The
accounting policies of the subsidiaries are consistent with those
of the Company.
e) Going concern
The Group had EUR5,232,940 current assets at 31 December 2021,
the majority of which are trade receivables, cash and cash
equivalents and other receivables. As part of their going concern
assessment, the Board of Directors have reviewed cash flow
forecasts for the 12 months from the date these financial
statements were signed and with support by the shareholders, they
believe that the group is able to continue as a going concern at
least for the next 12 months from date of signing. Further details
are given in note 25.
Accordingly, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that
the Company and the Group will continue in operational existence
for the foreseeable future, and for a period of at least 12 months
from the date of signing of these financial statements. Therefore,
the financial statements have been prepared as a going concern.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2021
f) Functional and presentation currency
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the
Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (the 'functional
currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in
Euros, which is the Company's presentational currency. The
functional currency of each entity within the Group is a key
judgement of management and the Directors. This judgement
prioritises primary factors, such as the source of competitive
forces and the denomination of sales prices and input costs, over
secondary considerations such as the source of financing, in
accordance with IAS21. These considerations indicate that the
functional currency of the Bulgarian entities is Bulgarian Lev and
the functional currency of the holding companies is the Euro.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the
settlement of such transactions and from the translation at
year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items carried at fair value, which are denominated in
foreign currencies, are translated at the rates prevailing at the
date when the fair value was determined, and the gain or loss is
recognised in the profit or loss.
(iii) Foreign operations
The results and financial position of all the foreign entities
(none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy)
that have a functional currency different from the presentation
currency are translated into the presentation currency as
follows:
-- assets and liabilities are translated to Euro at exchange rates at the reporting date;
-- income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates
(unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the
cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates,
in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of
the transactions); and
-- all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a
separate component of Other Comprehensive Income.
When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are
recognised in the Consolidated Statement
of Comprehensive Income as part of the gain or loss on sale.
g) Fair value measurement principles
The Group measures its investments in properties at fair value.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. The fair value
measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to
sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the
principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a
principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or
liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be
accessible to the Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the
assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the
asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their
economic best interest. The fair value for financial instruments
traded in active markets at the reporting date is based on their
mid quoted price or binding dealer price quotations, without any
deduction for transaction costs. Securities defined in these
accounts as 'listed' are traded in an active market.
The valuations of investment properties are performed by an
external accredited independent valuer with recognised and relevant
professional qualifications and with recent experience in the
location and category of
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2021
g) Fair value measurement principles (continued)
the investment property being valued. The valuations are
prepared in accordance with the RICS Valuation - Global Standards,
which incorporate the International Valuation Standards ("IVS") and
the RICS UK Valuation standards (the "RICS Red Book"), as set out
by the International Valuation Standards Council ("IVSC"), taking
into consideration the relevant IFRS 13 requirements. In arriving
at their estimates of market values, the valuers have used their
market knowledge and professional judgement and not only relied on
historical transactional comparables. Properties are valued
annually.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or
disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the
fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a
whole:
-- Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities.
-- Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly
or indirectly observable.
-- Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
unobservable.
h) Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether a financial
asset is impaired. A financial asset is deemed to be impaired if,
and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result
of one or more events that have occurred after the initial
recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the
estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be
reliably estimated.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been
incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference
between the assets' carrying amount and the present value of
estimated future cash flows discounted using the asset's original
effective interest rate.
i) Interest income
Income on investments is recognised on an accrual basis.
j) Revenue recognition
Revenue includes mainly fees from camping reservations. Such
fees are recognised in income when received and in the period that
the company reservation has occurred.
k) Expenses
Expenses are accounted for on an accrual basis. The Group's
property operating expenses, administration fees, finance costs and
all other expenses are charged to the profit or loss. Transaction
costs directly attributable to the purchase of investment property
are included within the cost of the property.
l) Loans payable at amortised cost
Loans payable are recognised on an amortised cost basis. Loans
payable are recognised when cash is received from lenders and are
derecognised when the cash, and related interest, has been repaid.
Loans payable are initially recorded at fair value plus any
directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2021
m) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash held at
the bank and demand deposits.
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that
are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
n) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed
or determinable payment terms that are not quoted in an active
market. The carrying value of trade receivables approximates their
fair values. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is
established when there is objective evidence that the Group will
not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original
terms of receivables.
o) Investment properties
Property that is held for rental yields or for capital
appreciation or both is classified as investment property.
Investment property comprises freehold land, freehold buildings,
and land held under long term operating leases. Investment property
is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction
costs and subsequently revalued annually to fair value.
Investment property that is being redeveloped for continuing use
as investment property or for which the market has become less
active continues to be measured at fair value.
Investment properties are accounted for on completion of
contract when ownership is recorded in the trade registry.
p) Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable
and deferred tax.
Current tax is payable on taxable profits for the year. Taxable
profit differs from net profit as reported in the Consolidated
Statement of Comprehensive Income because it excludes items of
income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and
it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The
Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting
date.
Current taxes include irrecoverable withholding tax on the
interest receivable on loans from the Company
to its Bulgarian subsidiaries.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all temporary
differences that have originated but not reversed at the reporting
date, where transactions or events that result in an obligation to
pay more tax in the future or right to pay less tax in the future
have occurred at the reporting date. This is subject to deferred
tax assets only being recognised if it is considered more likely
than not that there will be sufficient profits from which the
future reversal of the temporary differences can be deducted.
q) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are recognised at amortised cost and
relate to amounts accrued in the normal course of business which
are payable within one year.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2021
r) Share capital
Ordinary share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. External costs
directly attributable to the issue of new shares are deducted from
the proceeds of issue and shown as a deduction to reserves.
Founder shares
Founder shares are classified as equity.
s) Acquisition of businesses
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for
business combinations by the Group.
The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a
subsidiary comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, the
liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group.
The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any
contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any
pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Acquisition-related
costs are expensed as incurred.
t) Disposal of businesses
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes
the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI
and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is
recognized in profit or loss.
u) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a
financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity
instrument of another.
(i) Financial assets
Financial assets are classified at initial recognition. The
classification of financial assets at initial recognition that are
debt instruments depends on the financial asset's contractual cash
flow characteristics and the Group's business model for managing
them. The Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair
value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value
through profit or loss, transaction costs.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at
amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income
("OCI"), it needs to give rise to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest ("SPPI") on the principal amount
outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is
performed at an instrument level.
Classification and measurement are based on both whether
contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and
interest; and whether the debt instrument is held to collect those
cash flows. In the case of the Company or Group, all financial
assets meet this criteria and so are held at amortised cost.
Impairment of financial assets
IFRS 9's impairment requirements use more forward-looking
information to recognise expected credit losses ("ECLs") - the ECL
model. This replaces IAS 39's 'incurred loss model'.
ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash
flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows
that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the original
effective interest rate ("EIR").
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2021
Impairment of financial assets (continued)
The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of
collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to
the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for
which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk
since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that
result from default events that are possible within the next 12
months (a '12-month ECL'). For those credit exposures for which
there has
been a significant increase in credit risk since initial
recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses
expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of
the timing of the default (a 'lifetime ECL').
For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a
simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does
not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss
allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.
It is the Group's policy to measure ECLs on such instruments on
a 12-month basis.
(ii) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as
financial liabilities at amortised cost. The Group's financial
liabilities include trade and other payables and loans.
Subsequent measurement
Loans and borrowings and trade and other payables
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings
and trade and other payables are subsequently measured at amortised
cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in
profit or loss and OCI when the liabilities are derecognised, as
well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount
or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral
part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs
in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income.
This category generally applies to trade and other payables.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the associated
obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing
financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on
substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing
liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or
modification is treated as the derecognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in
the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss and
other comprehensive income.
v) Intangible assets
Intangible assets include rights under a concession agreement.
They are accounted for using the cost model. The cost comprises
discounted cash flows of the future payment according to the
concession agreement.
After initial recognition, an intangible asset is carried at its
cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated
impairment losses. Impairment losses are recognized in the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the
respective period.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2021
v) Intangible assets (continued)
Subsequent expenditure on an intangible asset after its purchase
or its completion is expensed as incurred unless it is probable
that this expenditure will enable the asset to generate future
economic benefits in excess of its originally assessed standard of
performance and this expenditure can be measured reliably and
attributed to the asset. If these two conditions are met, the
subsequent expenditure is added to the carrying amount of the
intangible asset.
Residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting
date.
3) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Group's financial statements requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts recognised in the financial statements
and disclosure of contingent liabilities. However, uncertainty
about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that
could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the
asset or liability affected in future periods.
The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters
available when the financial statements were prepared. However,
existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments
may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond
the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the
assumptions when they occur.
A key judgement area for the Group is the valuation of
investment properties. External independent valuers assessed the
fair value of investment properties. The valuations are performed
by a recognised valuer with a relevant professional qualification
and recent experience in the location and category of the
investment properties as described in note 2g. Details of
investment properties held at fair value can be found in note
9.
The investment properties are valued annually. The Directors
consider any relevant movements in property markets that may impact
the carrying values of the property held between the date of the
last valuation
and the date of financial statements.

8) 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% (2020: 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% (2020: 10%).
Cyprus
Subsidiaries of the Company incorporated in Cyprus are taxed in
accordance with the applicable tax laws of Cyprus. The Cyprus
corporate tax rate for the year was 12.5% (2020: 10%).
Malta
Subsidiaries of the Company incorporated in Malta are taxed in
accordance with the applicable tax laws of Malta. The Malta
corporate tax rate for the year was 35% (2020: 35%).
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% (2020: 0%) is
shown below.

professional qualifications and with recent experience in the
location and category of the investment properties being
valued.
The fair value of completed investment property has been
determined on a market value basis in accordance with the RICS "Red
Book". In arriving at their estimates of market values, the valuers
have used their market knowledge and professional judgement,
historical transactional comparables and discounted cash flow
forecasts. The highest and best use of the investment properties is
not considered to be different from its current use.
The cost of the investment properties comprises their purchase
price and directly attributable expenditure. Directly attributable
expenditure includes professional fees for legal services and stamp
duty land tax.
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 2021 the beach is managed by CSB under the
terms of a lease agreement. The concession agreement entered 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.
In 2020 the Group paid the first due concession fee, which
provides the period from the date of entry into force of the
concession agreement until the end of the same calendar year and
the period from January 1 of the last calendar year in which the
concession agreement is valid until the date upon expiration of the
contract.
According to the financial model presented by the Company, which
is accepted by the grantor and is an integral part of the
concession agreement, for the concession period the Group will make
additional investments related to the implementation of mandatory
activities and investments to improve access to the beach. After
the expiration of the concession contract, all constructed sites
remain the property of the grantor. The activities related to the
operation of the concession site are performed by the
concessionaire at his risk and at his expense. The cost of the
acquired intangible assets was EUR655,876 and no amortization
expenses were recognized in 2020. During the year, the acquired
intangible asset was amortized by EUR142,499.

(a) In October 2017, the Company entered into a secured debt
funding of EUR7 million from UniCredit Bulbank AD ("UniCredit"), a
leading Bulgarian commercial bank which was used to complete the
acquisition of the Ivan Vazov 1 Building. The debt funding from
UniCredit is secured by a commercial mortgage on the property
valued at EUR11,150,000 (see note 9). The term of the debt funding
is thirty-six months from date of execution of the loan
documentation. The repayment shall be made as a one-off payment on
the repayment deadline. The company renegotiated the terms of the
loan, extending the repayment period until 30 November 2033 and
changed the margin to the interest rate to 2%.
The interest on the loan is now the internal interest percentage
by the bank plus 2.00% (2020: 3%).

(i) This is an overdraft with Central Cooperative Bank. The
interest on the account is 4% and was repayable on 24 June 2020
however the terms of the contract were extended to 24 June 2021. At
the date these financial statements were signed the Company made an
extension of the credit repayment period by 12 months.
(ii) The interest rate on the overdraft and the investment loan
is 3.6%. The maturity date for both the overdraft and the
investment loan is 21 January 2028.
In March 2020, the Group successfully negotiated reduction of
the interest rates on the loans due to Central Cooperative Bank to
2.8%. The loan is secured by the commercial property of South Beach
(Gradina) Camp which includes all the tangible fixed assets of the
property along with the mortgage on the land.
In 2020, in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic and the
effects on the business environment in Bulgaria, the Governing
Council of the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) approved the
implementation of a debt moratorium with a limited duration,
allowing for changes in the principal repayment schedule and / or
interest on bank loan liabilities, without changing key parameters
of the loan agreement. The Group took advantage of this opportunity
for debt substitution agreements for the investment loan one of the
overdrafts. With annexes from 12.06.2020 and 31.12.2020 a grace
period was determined for the due interest from May 2020 to January
2021. The term of repayment of the loans remains unchanged.

Group's foreign operations from their functional currencies to the
Group's presentation currency (i.e. Currency Units). The Bulgarian

Foreign currency sensitivity
The Bulgarian lev has been pegged to the Euro since its launch
in 1999 at the rate of 1.95583 leva = 1 euro, hence effectively
there is no foreign currency risk as long as the peg is in place.
If the EUR/GBP exchange rate as at 31 December 2021 was to
strengthen or weaken by +/-10% it would result in a decrease or
increase respectively in the net liabilities of EUR10 (2020: a
decrease or increase in net liabilities of EUR12,540).
ii. Credit risk
Credit risk arises on investments, cash balances and debtor
balances. The amount of credit risk is equal to the amounts stated
in the statement of financial position for each of these assets.
Cash balances are limited to high-credit-quality financial
institutions. The Group has recognized and impairment of EUR nil
for the loan granted to Phoenix Capital Holding as at 31 December
2021 (2020: EUR3,950).
The allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) are nil.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2021
iii. Interest rate risk

Interest rate sensitivity
An increase of 100 basis points in interest rates during the
year would have decreased the net assets attributable to
shareholders and changes in net assets attributable to shareholders
by EUR161,229 (2020: increase EUR161,480). A decrease of 100 basis
points would not be possible because an interest rate floor has
been set with loan providers which is currently in operation.
iv. Liquidity risk
'Liquidity risk' is the risk that the Group will encounter
difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial
liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another
financial asset.
The Group's policy and the Boards approach to managing liquidity
is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have
sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both
normal and stress conditions. The Group's financial assets include
investment properties, which are generally illiquid. As a result,
the Group may not be able to liquidate some of its investments in
due time to meet its liquidity requirements. The Group's liquidity
is managed on a daily basis by the administrators of the Company
and its subsidiaries in accordance with policies and procedures in
place. The Group's overall liquidity risk is managed on a monthly
basis by the Board of Directors.
The following table sets out the carrying amount, by maturity,
of the Group's financial instruments that are
exposed to liquidity risk:
