Chairman's Report

I am pleased to present the Company's unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2020 (the "Period").

The Period was one of continued progress for the Company, albeit at a slower pace than we would have liked due to the continuing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. We raised a further GBP872,000 through bond issuance and entered into an exclusivity agreement to purchase the 160 acre site known as Barnsoul Park, Shawhead, Dumfries & Galloway. We are in the advanced legal stages of the transaction and anticipate completion shortly.

The business remains is focused on progressing its fundraising strategy and pushing forward on its UK leisure development project opportunities. Whilst we are conscious of the overall economic climate we believe that the current environment makes our proposed UK holiday resorts an even more attractive investment proposition.

Post the period end, the Company was also pleased to welcome Keith Aldridge to the Company's board. Keith is already adding significant value, particularly with his extensive experience in successfully originating debt structures, as we look to complete the acquisitions under negotiation and continue with our fundraising efforts.

We expect 2021 to be a transformational year for Belvedere and I look forward to reporting on our further progress in due course.
