Directors' Statements on the Half-Yearly Report

The Directors are pleased to issue their Report pursuant to the Malta Financial Services Authority Listing Rules 5.81 to 5.84. This report shall be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of the Group, of which Grand Harbour Marina p.l.c is the parent, for the six months ended 30 June 2015.

Principal activities

The principal activities of Grand Harbour Marina p.l.c ("Company") and its 45% interest in a joint arrangement, IC Cesme Marina Yatirim, Turizm ve Isletmeleri Anonim Sirketi ("IC Cesme"), are largely the development, operation and management of marinas. The Company is geared towards providing a high quality service to yachts, with a particular emphasis on super-yachts, which by their very nature, demand high level marina related services. Currently the Company owns Grand Harbour Marina in Malta and a 45% beneficial interest in IC Cesme in Turkey. The Marinas are operated and managed in association with the internationally well-known company Camper & Nicholsons Marinas Limited, a company involved in the management and operation of marinas worldwide.

Review of performance

Grand Harbour Marina pic Consolidated

The results for the first six months of 2015 proved to be encouraging with both marinas returning a profit before tax, without the exceptional effect of berth sales.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2015 include the results of the wholly owned subsidiary of Maris Marine Limited, which are immaterial, and the 45% beneficial interest of the Company in IC Cesme. These have been prepared using the equity method of accounting as required by International Financial Reporting Standard ("IFRS") 11.

There was no dividend payment during the six months ended 30 June 2015 (2014: €840,000).

The performance of the Group has improved in the first six months of this year when compared to the corresponding period in 2014. The combined revenues of Grand Harbour Marina and IC Cesme improved from €3.6 million in the first six months of 2014 to €4 million in the corresponding period this year.

Group profit before tax for the period ended 30 June 2015, which includes our 45% share of the profits of IC Cesme, improved to €0.08 million (2014: €0.02 million profit).

During the period ended 30 June 2015 the Group generated net cash flows from operating activities of €0.3 million (2014: €0.7 million).

Review of performance (continued)

Grand Harbour Marina plc Consolidated (continued)

At the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 30 June 2015, the shareholders approved the following special resolutions, as from the record date 10 July 2015:

  • (a) the issued share capital of the Company be and is hereby re-denominated from 10,000,000 ordinary shares of a nominal value of €0.232937 per share (the "current nominal value") into 10,000,000 ordinary shares of a nominal value of €0.24 per share (the "new nominal value") by the capitalisation of €70,630 from the Company's retained earnings for the purpose of paying up the difference between the current nominal value and the new nominal value, thus increasing the issued share capital from €2,329,370 to €2,400,000;
  • (b) subject to the approval of (a), the nominal value of the Company's issued share capital is hereby again redenominated and converted from 10,000,000 ordinary shares of a nominal value of E0.24 each to 20,000,000 ordinary shares of a nominal value of E0.12 each to be allotted proportionately to Eligible Members at a ratio of 2 is to 1;

The Group's share price has traded in a range of €1.90 to €1.88 from January 2015 up to the share split on 10 July 2015, and was stable at €0.95 thereafter up to 28 August 2015. The market capitalisation was €18.9 million as at 28 August 2015.

The equity method requires the recognition of the 45% share in IC Cesme post-acquisition profit/loss together with the initial cost of the investment and the equity reserves of the Company. This is disclosed under 'Equity-accounted investee' on the Asset section and under 'Total Equity' on the Equity and Liabilities section of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. As at 30 June 2015, this amounted to a share of cumulative losses post-acquisition of €0.12 million (as at 31 December 2014: €0.18 million).

The corresponding equity method adjustment in the Condensed Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income is disclosed under 'Share of profit of equity-accounted investee' and relates to the 45% share in IC Cesme profit/loss for the period being reported. For the period ended 30 June 2015, this amounted to a share of after tax profit of €0.05 million (€0.1 million pre-tax) when compared to a share of profit of €0.06 million for the same period last year when there was no tax charge. All other movements between the current reporting period and their comparatives are related solely to the Company.

Berthing revenues showed a small increase over the same period last year whilst utility revenues increased by nearly €0.2 million to support the overall increase of the same amount for marina operating revenues. Berthing revenues from annual contracts increased by more than 30% to £0,6 million which more than offset reductions in seasonal and visitor fees from the high levels seen in 2014.

Cost of sales increased by €0.1 million reflecting the higher utility costs, but with overhead costs being maintained at last year's levels, EBITDA increased to €0.6 million (2014: €0.5 million). After deducting depreciation, the interest costs relating to the €12 million Bond and the 10% premium paid on the buyback of €0.68 million of bonds during the period, GHM achieved a breakeven profit before tax of £0.03 million compared to a loss before tax of £0.04 million in the same period of 2014.

Management carried out a reassessment of the Company's deferred tax asset previously recognised and concluded that it continues to be probable that future taxable profit will be sufficient to recover the deferred tax assessment of the deferred tax position as at 30 June 2015 generated an income tax charge for the period of €0.12 million. After deducting such tax, the Company registered a loss of €0.09 million compared to a loss of €0.10 million in 2014.

Approval has been granted for the extension of the St Angelo wharf to accommodate an additional super yacht but construction will not be started until a sale has been agreed.

The Government of Malta has continued restoration work in the St Angelo area with the historic fort being a highly visible cultural attraction. Work is expected to be completed in the autumn in time for the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting to be held in St Angelo in November.

Seaside revenues 1.5 1.3 7.1

EBITDA 0.9 0.8 0.5
PBT 0.2 0.1 (0.2)
Capital expenditure 0.1

The results of the first six months demonstrate the continuing progress being made by Cesme Marina and that, with the strong support provided by Camper & Nicholsons and our local joint venture partners IC Holdings Ltd ('IC'), the marina has generated a profit before tax during this period. In the first half of the year, Cesme generated revenues of €2.2 million (2014: €2 million) with all of the increase coming from seaside revenues.

After deducting direct cost of sales and normal operating costs (including for the first time since 2011 operator fees totalling €0.2 million for the two partners) but before depreciation, Cesme made an operating profit of €0.9 million (2014: €0.8 million). After finance charges and depreciation. Cesme generated a €0.2 million profit before tax as compared with the €0.1 million profit in 2014. Excluding depreciation, but including £0.4 million of Government rent, operating expenses increased to £1.2 million (2014: €1.1 million), mainly due to the inclusion of €0.2 million operator fees for C&N and IC Holdings.

Seaside revenues continued to grow with 383 berths either let or reserved on annual contracts at the end of June 2015 as compared with 347 at the same time last year. This result was achieved even though 35 boat owners did not renew their contracts largely due to boat owners wishing to change location or having sold their boats. Cesme Marina attended the Izmir and Istanbul boat shows and generated 66 berthing enquiries with more than 20% being converted into berthing contracts.

Although the marina is full in terms of berth occupancy further revenue growth is possible through increasing the average size of boats being hosted. Water area utilisation is being reviewed again to determine where additional berthing capacity might be added.

In the first six months of the year, the retail village maintained revenues at the same level as in the equivalent period last year whilst management was engaged in renewing many of the landside contracts which were originally put in place 5 years ago when the marina opened.

During the period the marina hosted the conclusion of the Izmir Trophy race in which 22 boats participated and hosted also the Ocean rowing boat, 'Mr Hops', which travelled from Tunisia, to create awareness and raise funds for Save the Children to support children caught in conflicts around the world. In June the marina was visited by the Royal Thames Yacht Club for the commemoration of the Gallipoli Rally.

Outlook

During the period, both Grand Harbour Marina and IC Cesme have reported improved financial results, reflecting a more effective operational performance, a higher occupancy rate of the berths and a control of expenditure at a sustainable level. The Directors shall continue to focus on these indicators to deliver value to the shareholders.

Board of Directors

The Board of directors as at 30 June 2015 was:

Mr Lawrence Zammit - Chairman Mr Franco Azzopardi Mr David Martin Bralsford Sir Christopher Lewinton Mr Roger Lewis Mr Clive Whiley

6. Seasonality of operations

The Company and its joint venture derive their income from different types of revenue streams, including annual, seasonal and visitor berthing fees. During the summer months, revenue generation is higher, but whilst the increase is a relatively small proportion of the overall level of revenue, it makes a significant contribution to the profitability of the Group. The timing of long-term super-yacht berth sales, which are neither seasonal by nature nor capable of accurate prediction, can have a more significant impact on the level of both revenues and net results.

Parent company loan 7.

Included in the reportable segment liabilities of IC Cesme (note 5) are a term loan of €5,441,000 and a subordinated loan of €8,495,000. The subordinated loan provided by Isbank to IC Cesme is secured by cash pledges made by its shareholders. As at 30 June 2015 Camper & Nicholsons Marina Investments Limited's ("CNMI") cash pledge in relation to the subordinated loan amounted to €3,837,000 (December 2014: €3,837,000). The Company advanced an equivalent amount in cash to CNMI at an interest rate of 1% per annum.

8. Taxation

Income tax expense is recognised based on the pro-rata calculation of the deferred tax expense forecasted for the full financial year applied for the interim period ended 30 June 2015.

The charge for income tax for the period ended 30 June 2015 was €117,770 (2014: €172,361) which has been offset against the deferred tax at 31 December 2014. As a result, the deferred tax asset as at 30 June 2015 stood at €40,727 (December 2014: €158,497). Its continued recognition was confirmed on the basis of management's assessment that it is still probable that future taxable income will allow the available capital allowances to be absorbed.

8. Taxation (continued)

The deferred tax asset as at 30 June 2015 therefore comprises:
