Trading Update
Financial Highlights:
-- At 30 June 2023, the total Group Net Asset Value ("NAV") was
EUR123.5 million and EUR116.9 million before and after Deferred Tax
Liabilities ('D L") respectively. This represents a decrease of
EUR3.6 million (3.0%) compared to 31 December 2022. The NAV
reduction is principally due to operating, finance, corporate and
management expenses.

June 2023 compared to 11p on 31 December 2022. The Sterling NAV per
share fell notably due to a 2.9% depreciation in Sterling against
the Euro during the period.

to gross asset ratio of 3.4% as at 30 June 2023 (31 December 2022:
2.8%) .

DCI Advisors Limited
Chairman's Statement
Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to report the Interim results for the first half of
2023.
The focus remains on improving the Company's corporate
governance and implementing its new investment policy and
realisation strategy that was approved by shareholders in December
2021, and is aimed at selling the remaining investments, repaying
debt and distributing the net proceeds to shareholders.
Following the removal of Dolphin Capital Partners as investment
manager (on 20(th) March) and Miltos Kambourides from the board of
the Company on 18(th) March, the Company has gone through a
stabilisation phase of securing its assets and managing them with a
view to readying them for sale. Construction has restarted at
Kilada, and efficiency improved through the cutting of costs in
order to complete phase one, which when we intend to sell it. Asset
sale processes that have already started have been kept on track,
but none has reached a notifiable conclusion.
Summary of Financial Performance
At 30 June 2023, the Group Net Asset Value after Deferred Tax
Liability was EUR117 million, representing a 3.0% decrease compared
to 31 December 2022. The NAV decline reflects operating and other
expenses of EUR2.99 million (30 June 2022: EUR1.897 million). The
net loss after tax attributable to the owners of the Company was
EUR3.29 million, as at 30 June 2023.
ln sterling terms, DCl's NAV decreased to 10p per Share on 30
June 2023 compared to 11p on 31 December 2022. At 30 June 2023, DCI
had a market capitalisation of approximately GBP35.7 million,
compared with the Company's NAV of GBP100.6 million after DTL.
Additional Director
It is our intention to appoint a new independent Director in the
coming months in order to enhance the corporate governance within
the Company. We will update shareholders as soon as the process has
been completed.
I would like to thank shareholders and our numerous service
providers for the support and confidence that they have given the
Board in proceeding with the changes outlined above.

Managing Directors' Statement
Business Overview
This report covers the period from January to September 2023
during which period (in particular in March) the Company terminated
the Investment Management Agreement with the Company's former
investment manager, Dolphin Capital Partners Limited ("DCP") and
the board took over the self-management of the Company. Since then,
the board has worked to improve and streamline the Company's
operations and has reaffirmed terms with all of the Company's key
service providers in Greece, Cyprus and Croatia but certain changes
were necessary in order to create a basis to move forwards at an
acceptable cost. Nick Paris and Nicolai Huls were previously
non-executive Directors of the Company but have taken on the role
of executive Managing Directors in order to replace DCP. Whilst the
Company has hired a few people to work on a consultancy basis the
Managing Directors have significantly reduced the cash outflow of
managing the Company as DCP was being paid advances against future
incentive fees of over EUR2 million per annum (repayment of which
is claimed by DCI in its counterclaim in the UK litigation brought
by DCP).
The Managing Directors have also focused on enhancing the value
of the Company's existing portfolio of assets and are pursuing
divestment opportunities for all of the Company's assets except
Kilada which is in the middle of finalising phase 1 of its
construction. There are active sale discussions underway for
several of the Company's assets, including Livka Bay in Croatia,
but none has yet reached the stage of binding commitments.
The Company has financed its operations via a series of loans
arranged directly from certain shareholders of the Company and each
of these loans is intended to last up to 12 months but to be repaid
out of the proceeds of asset sales. They all bear an interest rate
of 12% p.a. but no advance or redemption charges. Security will be
granted against these loans in the form of individual charges over
one of the Company's assets in amounts which will exceed the value
of each loan. The support from shareholders via the loans has
helped the Company to manage the transition phase since DCP's
termination as investment manager.
The number of people supporting the Company's business has
reduced significantly since DCP's termination. Despite this,
operations have continued, and have even improved while at the same
time the Company has been able to continue to make steps in the
sales process of some of its assets.
The legal case in the UK brought by DCP against the Company is
still ongoing.
While a continued legal fight with DCP is not the Company's
preference, at present the board do not believe that DCP has shown
serious interest in settling the outstanding issues between DCP and
the Company.
Major Assets Review
Assets located in Greece:
Kilada Country Club, Golf & Residences (for further details
see www.mykilada.com)
Construction work at Kilada has been financed from a loan
granted by the Company's joint venture partner and the Company also
expects to be able to draw down the first tranches of the
government grant that the Company was awarded shortly.
Development of Phase 1 continues and the Company still expects
to finalise this development phase by the end of 2024. This would
include finalising the 18-hole Jack Niklaus Signature golf course,
the country club and the infrastructure for 90 villas. It is the
target to have finished 9 holes of the golf course by
October/November this year.
Due to the progress the development is making, the Company would
like to bring forward the development of the hotel component in
order to support the golf course. The Company also expects sales
momentum for villas and land lots to pick up as the finalisation of
the golf course draws nearer.
Lavender Bay
The situation at Lavender Bay has been clarified and improved.
The Archdiocese of Dimitriada and the Holy Monastery of Xenia have
filed lawsuits against the State to resolve judicially the
ownership issues.
The Company will also file a corresponding lawsuit in the
following weeks. The cases of all three entities are very strong.
The filing of the lawsuits will increase the valuation of the land
and consequently reduce the negative valuation of the asset.
No additional funds will be paid to the vendor under the
Company's sale and purchase contracts until the resolution of the
legal dispute with the Greek State has been resolved.
Plaka Bay
The studies for a Special Development Plan for an integrated
resort have been completed and will be submitted to the relevant
authorities. Approval of this plan is anticipated to enhance the
asset's valuation and market appeal.
Scorpio Bay
The Company is currently reviewing the update of permits and the
agreement with Oberoi Hotels and Resorts to restore the asset's
valuation and market appeal.
Assets located in Cyprus:
Aristo Developers Limited (a 47.9% affiliate) (for further
details see www.aristodevelopers.com )
Aristo continues to benefit from a strong recovery in the
residential real estate market in Cyprus albeit tempered by the
increase in construction costs and bank interest rates that is
being experienced worldwide. Property sales are growing month on
month and margins are good and surplus cash flow is being used to
pay down bank borrowings to further deleverage the company.
The sale process for the Company's holding in Aristo that
commenced in February was affected by disruptions in global equity
markets which occurred soon afterwards but is still continuing. It
is too early to predict whether and when this will lead to sale
negotiations.
Apollo Heights
Apollo Heights is a large area of contiguous land which is
situated next to one of the British military bases in Cyprus and as
such, planning permissions are influenced by intra-government
relations between Cyprus and the United Kingdom. The site also
contains a mix of agricultural and forest land and the Company is
still awaiting the results of a planning appeal that the Company
lodged in September 2022 to improve the planning status of the
site. Despite this the Company is currently exploring several
indications of interest in buying the land.
Asset located in Croatia:
Livka Bay
A sale process commenced in April with the assistance of one of
the main local property advisers in Croatia in order to find a
buyer for the entire site or a joint venture partner who would
inject equity to develop the hotel, villas and marina that are
already permitted for the site by the local government. Strong
interest was expressed for a 100% purchase and the Company is
working with several buyers who lodged letters of intent. The
Company's aim is to agree acceptable terms with one of them that
would lead to a sale of Livka Bay in the near future.
Outlook
The Company's main objectives going forward are to:
1. secure adequate working capital liquidity for the Company
until asset sales have been completed;
2. execute further portfolio asset disposals;
3. progress construction at Kilada and start to generate plot/villa sales;
4. progress planning and permitting selectively for the remaining portfolio: and,
5. repay the Company's modest borrowings and once it has
reserved adequate cash for working capital purposes, to distribute
surplus capital to shareholders although it is too early to predict
when the first distribution will be made.
6. make a first distribution with in 12 months' time.

DCI ADVISORS LTD (FORMERLY: DOLPHIN CAPITAL INVESTORS LTD)
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
For the six-month period ended 30 June 2023
1. REPORTING ENTITY
DCI Advisors Ltd (Formerly: Dolphin Capital Investors Ltd) (the
'Company') was incorporated and registered in the British Virgin
Islands ('BVI') on 7 June 2005. The Company is a real estate
investment company focused on the early-stage, large-scale
leisure-integrated residential resorts in the Eastern
Mediterranean. The Company was managed, until 20 March 2023, by
Dolphin Capital Partners Ltd (the 'Investment Manager'), an
independent private management firm that specialises in real estate
investments, primarily in south-east Europe, and thereafter the
Company became self-managed. The shares of the Company were
admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange
('AIM') on 8 December 2005.
With effect from 01 June 2023, the name of the Company was
changed from Dolphin Capital Investors Ltd to DCI Advisors Ltd.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the
Company as at and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023
comprise the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries (together referred to as the 'Group') and the Group's
interests in equity-accounted investees. These interim financial
statements have not been subject to an audit.
2. basis of preparation
a. Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for
the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 have been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be
read in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated
financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022
('last annual financial statements'). They do not include all of
the information required for a complete set of financial statements
prepared in accordance with IFRS Standards. However, selected
explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions
that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the
Group's financial position and performance since the last annual
financial statements. They are presented in Euro (EUR), rounded to
the nearest thousand.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were
authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 28 September
2023.
b. Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the
Company for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 have been
prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group
will be able to discharge its liabilities in the normal course of
business.
The Group's cash flow forecasts for the foreseeable future
involve uncertainties related primarily to the exact disposal
proceeds and timing of disposals of the assets expected to be
disposed of. Management believes that the proceeds from forecast
asset sales will be sufficient to maintain the Group's cash flow at
a positive level. Should the need arise, management will take
actions to reduce costs and is confident that it can secure
additional loan facilities and/or obtain repayment extension on
existing ones, until planned asset sales are realised and proceeds
received.
f, for any reason, the Group is unable to continue as a going
concern, then this could have an impact on the Group's ability to
realise assets at their recognised values and to extinguish
liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated
in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Based on these factors, management has a reasonable expectation
that the Group has and will have adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future.

consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those
applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at
and for the year ended 31 December 2022. number of new standards
are effective from 1 January 2023, but they do not have a material
effect on the Group's financial statements.
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to
conform to changes in presentation in the current period.
5. USE OF JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of interim financial statements requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.
ln preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial
statements, the significant judgements made by the management in
applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of
estimation and uncertainty were the same as those applied to the
last annual financial statements.
