Market update
BLACK SEA PROPERTY AS (TICKER: BSP:ME)
Market update 31 March 2016
Short summary of activities in Q1 2016
The quarter started with completion of an
oversubscribed rights issue and the listing of Black
Sea Property AS (the "Company") on Merkur Market.
During the quarter, the Company has also worked on
closing the transactions which were entered into with
EPO Invest KS and Aheloy Beach Commercial AS. The
closing of these transactions have proved more time
consuming than the Company excepted due to formal
requirements under Bulgarian law. There are still
certain ongoing processes which must be completed
before all parts of the transactions may be closed.
The Company has also worked on gaining an overview of
the extent of building activities to be effectuated
and possible entrepreneurs for the project, as further
described below.
Completion of Aheloy Beach Resort - status
The Company considers it expedient and material to the
completion of the project to have a local partner in
Bulgaria that can oversee and manage the day-to-day
works on the resort. Therefore, the Company has chosen
to hire two independent companies which will assist
the Company in its negotiations with entrepreneurs and
surveying the extent of building activities to be
effectuated. Upon commencement of the construction
works, the Company intends to hire one of these
companies to oversee and manage the day-to-day works
on the resort.
The Company has recently received a total of 7 tenders
from local entrepreneurs. Certain board members have
also met with the tendering entrepreneurs in Sofia.
The tenders indicate varying time spans for partial
completion of the resort. Several indicate a time span
of 4 months, while one tender indicates up to 10
months. The Company assumes that the indicated
construction periods depends greatly on the resources
available to each entrepreneur. The resources
available to the entrepreneur will be an important
part of the selection procedure.
The Company will now review the tenders in detail with
its local partners before commencing further
negotiations with the entrepreneur considered to have
submitted the best tender. The Company will take into
consideration inter alia the estimated price, quality
and execution capacity of the entrepreneurs, and not
focus solely on estimated price. A possibility which
is being explored by the Company is to offer partial
settlement for the construction works in completed
apartments. The Company considers that this may be
positive for the liquidity of the Company and as
security for the quality of the work.
The Company will hold follow-up/ negotiation meetings
in week 15, and will inform the market when entering
into final agreements with an entrepreneur.
The Company aims to initiate the construction works as
soon as possible, and are working towards completing
the necessary processes prior to start-up of the
construction works. The Company still considers that
the P, N and M buildings of the resort should be
completed first. The final construction plan will be
agreed upon with the chosen entrepreneur in due time.
Booking for 2017 season and expected opening of the
resort
The Company's main goal is to enter into agreements
with major tour operators for the 2017 season. The
booking activities and negotiation of agreements will
happen in parallel with the construction works. The
Company is continuously assessing the possibilities,
and the benefits of, opening the resort this season.
The timeline for opening the resort this season is
tight, and the Company do not wish to open the resort
before the resort is sufficiently completed to give
its guests a pleasant stay.
