Chairman's statement
I am pleased to present the unaudited interim financial
statements of the Company for the six months ended 30 June
2023.
The unaudited net asset value as at 30 June 2023 was EUR28.7
million or 1.58 cents per share (31 December 2022: EUR28.8 million
or 1.59 cents per share).
During the period, the Company generated revenues of EUR264,835
(June 2022: EUR152,646) which resulted in a loss before taxation of
EUR74,412 (June 2022: EUR553,150). The results reflected other
income of EUR678,836 (June 2022: EUR106,798), property operating
expenses of EUR283,729 (June 2022: EUR132,856), other operating
expenses of EUR328,293 (June 2022: EUR458,473) and interest payable
and other charges of EUR406,061 (June 2022: EUR215,287). Loss per
share amounted to EUR0.01 cents (June 2022: EUR0.03 cents).
Camping South Beach EOOD ("CSB")
The summer season in 2023 marked a positive development, despite
the challenging environment arising from the military conflict in
Ukraine. Camping South Beach preserved its prime position as a
destination for luxury camping holidays and beach houses. Following
the trend from the previous seasons most of the guests were
Bulgarian citizens, as well as tourists from the EU.
Camping South Beach achieved occupancy levels of around 58% in
July and 51% in August 2023. On yearly basis the occupancy increase
is approx. 5 %, compared to 2022.
Despite the slight increase in occupancy, they still remain
below the targeted levels, based on the overall economic
uncertainty arising from the war in Ukraine.
In 2023, the third active season under the Concession Agreement
("Agreement") for the beach in front of CSB, has provided
additional value to the property and has enabled synergy with the
campsite. The term of the Concession Agreement is 20 years, and all
requirements and obligations specified in the Agreement have been
fulfilled.
The long-term strategy of CSB is to develop the whole Gradina
area including the newly acquired adjacent real estate and Black
Sea Star hotel into an exclusive summer resort meeting the highest
standards.
Ivan Vazov 1 Building
During the period, the reconstruction works for the historic
Ivan Vazov building were ongoing. The renovation of the roof has
been completed and all construction works were executed to a high
standard in line with the approved designs.
Chairman's Statement (continued)
The building consists of a basement floor, five floors and an
attic floor with total buil t -up area of 9 , 107 m2. The attic
floor will be converted into a mansard floor following the
reconstruction of the roof.
As the building is recogni z ed as a historical monument by the
National Institute of Cultural Monuments in Bulgaria, both the
exterior and interior of the building will undergo renovation. This
includes elements such as the columns, profiled cornices, figures
of Atlanteans, the mask of the Goddess on the façade, and the
ornamental ironwork of the entrance doors. The Company is carrying
out all of the works in accordance with applicable regulations. The
construction of the beautiful copper covered roof has been
finalized and thus the building will be preserved according to the
highest standards. We hope to receive permission from the local
authorities for using the top floor and reconstructing the roof in
November 2023 .
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.
Received final payment for the sale of ECDC Group
During the period Black Sea Property has received the final
payment for the sale of the remaining assets of ECDC Group which
the Company sold on 30 September 2021, for a cash consideration of
EUR4.5 million.
Events after reporting date
Signed agreement for acquisition of Grand Hotel Varna AD
Black Sea Property PLC has signed an agreement to acquire 98.27%
of Grand Hotel Varna AD (the "Acquisition").
Grand Hotel Varna AD wholly owns GHV-Dolphins EAD, a Bulgarian
company which holds the title to real estate comprising three
hotels and a beach marina resort (together, the "Resort"), situated
in a prime location on the Black Sea Coast, with excellent
accessibility.
The primary purpose of the Acquisition is to strengthen Black
Sea Property's hospitality investments, by adding desirable hotels
to its existing investment in Camping South Beach.
The consideration payable for the Acquisition is EUR 28 million
in cash, of which an initial non-refundable deposit of EUR 1.6
million was paid upon signing of the agreement. The property assets
being acquired have been independently valued at EUR 19 million,
and the mutual fund portfolio is currently valued at EUR 12
million.
BSP has raised EUR12million through the issue of unsecured loan
notes to certain existing shareholders. The proceeds of the issue
of the Loan Notes have been used to pay tranches of the
consideration for the Acquisition.
To satisfy the balance of the consideration, the Company will
need to raise additional funds. Subject to securing the required
funding, which the Directors are confident of achieving, the
Acquisition is expected to be completed by 30 October 2023.
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the contents of
this announcement.

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% (2022: 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% (2022: 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% (2022: 0%) is
shown below.

The Directors confirm that there are no material changes in the
valuation of investments as of 30 June 2023.
The valuations of the other Group properties at 31 December 2022
were based on the most recent independent valuation received for
each property. The valuations were performed by external accredited
independent valuers with recognised 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

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

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.

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
