CHAIRMAN’S
STATEMENT
DAVID B. HELLER
I am pleased to report Dolphin’s results for the first half of 2014.
During the period, we made continued progress towards achieving our
strategic priorities within a challenging, but constantly improving market.
The opening of The Nikki Beach Resort & Spa at Porto Heli on 28 July 2014
demonstrated once again the Company’s ability to create high-end luxury
resorts on time and on budget, even within demanding economic conditions.
The resort further enhanced The Porto Heli Collection offering, and we have
received extremely positive feedback from our guests.
The operations of Amanzoe, the first villa-integrated Aman resort in Europe and one of the most
exclusive destinations in the Mediterranean, continue their excellent performance, with occupancy
again reaching almost 100% on many days during the peak holiday season. Amanzoe is increasingly
regarded as one of the top leisure-integrated residential resorts in the world, with consistently
outstanding reviews in the top-tier international press. It is also encouraging to note that one more
Aman Villa has been reserved since the Company’s last Trading Update, while there are several Aman
Villa sales at advanced discussions, with completion expected soon.
The completion of Colony’s €40.4 million investment into Amanzoe established Dolphin’s strategic
relationship with one of the world’s leading real estate investors, and we are looking into other areas
of cooperation.
I am particularly pleased that we have made significant progress with regard to both the bank
financing and the receipt of final permits at Kilada Hills Golf Resort and Amankea. Kilada Hills Golf
Resort is the third phase of The Porto Heli Collection and it will enhance the existing offering with a
prestigious Jack Nicklaus Signature 18-hole golf course. Amankea will be the second Aman branded
resort in Greece and the first one developed on a European island.
The Company has initiated a competitive sale process for Venus Rock Golf Resort, with a view to
achieving the (whole or partial) sale of the asset, and which should help offset the sales performance
of Aristo, which continues to fall below management’s expectations. In parallel, the Dolphin team is
looking at opportunities for small or large scale exits of non-core assets such as Porto Kundu, sold
earlier this year.
The Greek and other governments remain committed to attracting and facilitating inward
investment, and we welcome the recent legislative reforms, which are expected to benefit tourism
development and large scale projects.
The Company’s NAV, before and after DITL, as at 30 June 2014 is reported at €638 million and
€552 million, respectively, and the NAV per share before and after DITL in Euro terms was €0.99 and
€0.86 respectively, representing a 5.7% and 5.5% increase from 31 December 2013.
David B. Heller, Chairman

INVESTMENT
MANAGER’S REPORT
The main focus of our team for
2014 continues to be securing solid
progress and funding in all stages
of development of our portfolio
(ranging from securing permitting
to construction and sales) and
realising exits that further validate
the value of the portfolio and
crystallise value for shareholders.
Pierre Charalambides, Founding Partner,
and Miltos Kambourides, Managing Partner
The opening of The Nikki Beach Resort & Spa in the
summer of 2014 was, as expected, a very gratifying and
important milestone in the Company’s development,
representing the second of our luxury resorts to come
to market and the completion of the second phase of
The Porto Heli Collection.
Amanzoe’s second year of operations is further
improved, while the resort continues to serve as a
showcase of Dolphin’s development capabilities, profit
potential and vision.
Sales activity has continued to gain momentum in
recent months, with a number of potential transactions
under negotiation. Positive signs are seen in the senior
debt local financing environment as well as in the
availability for mezzanine facilities. We feel that the
timing is right for completing the construction of
infrastructure and leisure facilities of some additional
key projects, such as Kilada Hills, Pearl Island and
Amankea, in order to produce more luxury residential
supply to satisfy the increasing demand and realise
value for the Company.

INVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT
Divestments, investments
& other updates
SYROS, GREECE
On 19 September 2014, Zoniro entered into a binding pre-agreement with a foreign investor group for
the sale of 10 land plots on the island of Syros. The land was part of the Aristo Greek portfolio, which
was 100% retained by DCI following the divestment of 50.2% of Aristo in 2012.
The transaction net consideration payable to Zoniro amounts to €1.94 million, of which the Company
has already received a non-refundable advance of €0.22 million. The transaction consideration will be
received in staged payments over the next 10 months and €1.15 million from the proceeds will be used
for the repayment of debt which was secured against the plots.
The transaction represents a 26% premium to the asset’s book value.
DOLPHIN CAPITAL AMERICAS (‘DCA’)
Following the Letter of Intent signed by DCA to acquire one of the largest privately owned islands in the
Bahamas through a corporate merger transaction on 24 March 2014, the Company conducted extensive
due diligence and decided not to proceed at this point, as it was not comfortable with the project’s
expected rate of return versus Dolphin’s existing projects.
€40.4 MILLION INVESTMENT BY COLONY CAPITAL INTO AMANZOE
As announced on 8 August 2014, Colony Capital Acquisitions LLC (‘Colony’) entered into final
agreements with DolphinCI Fourteen Ltd (the Company’s Cyprus subsidiary which holds the Group’s
shareholding in Amanzoe) for a €40.4 million second priority loan facility (the ‘Facility’) into Amanzoe.
The full loan facility proceeds have been drawn down as follows:
a. an amount of €10 million was used to refund a deposit that Archimedia Holdings Corp. (‘Archimedia’)
had advanced to the Company in the context of the corresponding Profit Sharing Agreement as
reported by the Company on 26 March 2014, thus terminating the agreement in question;
b. an amount of €21 million was returned to DCI; while
c. an amount of €9 million was retained by Amanzoe for future expansion and development costs.
The transaction establishes a strategic relationship with Colony, one of the world’s leading and most
respected real estate investors with significant experience in large scale luxury integrated resorts,
and accelerates the return on capital to DCI in the Amanzoe investment.
AMANKEA GREECE
On 28 July 2014, Amankea officially qualified to receive state subsidies, amounting to c. €4.9 million,
for the construction of the project’s leisure components.
Amankea is also in the final stage of negotiations with a major regional bank for a €22 million long term
senior construction loan facility, a c. €7 million VAT bridge facility for the construction cost input
VAT and a €5.4 million Letter of Guarantee for the pre-financing of the above mentioned state
subsidies. The completion of this loan facility is expected within Q4 2014 and depends on the finalisation
of the bank’s due diligence on the project, the conclusion of definitive documentation and final bank
approval.
The Amankea construction can begin as soon as the construction drawings are completed and the
final construction permit is received, but remains subject to finalising the funding package which, in
addition to the bank financing, would require an equity contribution or third party investment of
approximately €16 million.

INVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT
Cash Generation Potential
of the Dolphin portfolio
The Advanced Projects are spread over 3,733 hectares of land, of which 1,508 hectares
represent the current phases of these developments. The total unsold residential
capacity of these projects is approximately 470,000 buildable m2, of which circa
240,000 m2 are planned for their current phases.

The Porto Heli Collection: page 18

Plans for the current phases of the Advanced Projects include the development of
four luxury hotels, comprising the first Aman residential resort in Europe (Amanzoe
– operating), the first Aman golf-integrated resort worldwide (Playa Grande – planned
to open in Q3 2015), the first Nikki Beach resort in the Mediterranean (operating), and
the first Ritz Carlton Reserve resort in Central America (Pearl Island – expected to
start construction in Q1 2015 subject to the conclusion of debt financing and the
availability of equity funds); as well as the recently renovated golf course in Playa
Grande designed by Robert Trent Jones Snr. and renovated by his son Rees Jones, the
two 18-hole golf courses in Venus Rock Golf Resort (the first of which is currently
operating) and the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course at Kilada.
Dolphin’s remaining portfolio includes:
• Two additional fully permitted leisure-integrated residential resort projects, Amankea
and Sitia Bay Resort, which are ready to assume Advanced Project status and are
spread over 345 hectares of land with a potential capacity of c. 140,000 residential
buildable m2.
• Eight major leisure-integrated residential resort projects spread over 1,811 hectares
of land, on seven of which we conservatively expect to build and sell c. 430,000
residential buildable m2, representing a very low c. 3% building coefficient, while one
is expected to be exited on a wholesale basis. These projects are expected to further
increase in value as they complete their permitting and design phase and reach
Advanced Project status.
Venus Rock Golf Course: page 28

• Residual developable land or coefficient since, under the current plans, not all the
land or building capacity of the Major Projects will be utilised.
Playa Grande Club & Reserve: page 34
4
•Aristo Developers, the largest developer and private land owner in Cyprus, which
currently has c. 60,000 buildable m2 of residential product in stock or under
construction and c. 314,000 land m2 in the form of readily available land plots
with a total listed sales potential of over €124 million. In addition, Aristo holds an
additional vast portfolio of land assets with the potential to sell over 900,000
residential buildable m2 once fully developed. Dolphin retains a strategic 49.8%
shareholding in Aristo.
Based on the above, the Investment Manager estimates Dolphin’s total project
portfolio cash return potential to be approximately €3.9 billion, or c. 477p per share.
This includes only c. €30 million of dividends expected from the sale of Venus Rock
and excludes any dividends or other divestment revenues from Aristo – a development
company with ongoing operations and a diverse portfolio of real estate projects.
The gross cash return potential of each project is summarised in the following table:

• The cash generation potential
assumes the full development of
each project and its exit through
retail sales of the residential
portfolio and land plots, as
well as the sale of its leisure
components at a multiple to their
expected terminal NOI and does
not include inflation assumptions
or interim project exits, with
the exception of the Company’s
Apollo project which is assumed
to be exited on a wholesale basis
at the time when it receives
final zoning and permitting.
Cost assumptions cover future
development costs including
construction costs, marketing,
sales, branding and agency
expenses. Costs do not include
already incurred expenses
for land acquisition and
development, or financing costs,
management, performance fees
and corporate income taxes.
• Venus Rock is expected to be
sold, following completion of the
competitive process initiated
by the Company, and generate
dividends amounting to
c. €30 million to the Company.
Although the deleveraging of
Aristo is expected to allow
more dividends for Dolphin
going forward, these were not
included in the projections.

International tourist arrivals grew by 4.6% in the first half of 2014 according to the
latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer. Destinations worldwide received some 517
million international tourists between January and June 2014, 22 million more than
in the same period of 2013.
Growth was strong across the board, with the Americas recording a 6% increase,
followed by Asia and the Pacific and Europe (both at +5%). By sub-region, South Asia
and Northern Europe (both +8%) were the best performers, together with North-East
Asia and Southern Mediterranean Europe (both +7%).
In general, the most important observations, for the countries we are invested in, are
as follows:
•Tourist arrivals in Greece from January to August 2014 increased by almost 16%
compared to the same period of 2013, based on preliminary results issued by the
country’s main airports. This remarkable performance has led to the upward revision
of the estimated international arrivals for 2014 from an initial 19 million to an all-time
record of 19.5 million (despite the loss of additional tourist arrivals from Russia and
Ukraine due to the political instability).
• Tourist arrivals in Cyprus for the period January to August 2014 totalled approximately
1.7 million, representing a 6% increase from the corresponding period in 2013.
• For the same eight-month period, Croatia experienced a 5% rise in tourist arrivals
compared to 2013, as around 10.6 million arrivals were registered according to
statistics collected by local tourism boards.
•The number of visitors arriving in Turkey from January to June 2014 increased by
2.8% compared to the same period in the previous year according to provisional
data acquired from the General Directorate of Security and the Turkish Statistical
Institute, reaching approximately 17.5 million.
•The number of tourists visiting the Dominican Republic for the period January to
June 2014 totalled 3.16 million and was up by c. 8.3% relative to the same period of
2013.
•Tourist arrivals in Panama for the period January to June 2014 totalled over
1.8 million, an increase of approximately 5.5% relative to the same period of 2013.
In addition, and relevant to DCI’s focus on HNWIs, the Wealth-X and UBS Billionaire
Census 2014 demonstrated that the wealthy population continues to grow significantly.

Progress within 2014
AMANZOE
www.amanresorts.com
• The operational performance of Amanzoe Hotel in the year to date has been in line with our budget,
with occupancy reaching 100% on many days during the peak season and average daily room rates
in excess of €1,400.
• Four new hotel beach pavilions adjacent to the Amanzoe Beach Club, and with direct beach access,
were added to Amanzoe’s offering, further enhancing its luxury credentials.
www.nikkibeachhotels.com
www.ghmhotels.com
•During the period one more Villa sale reservation has been signed, bringing the total number of
Aman Villas already sold or reserved to date to 13. Moreover, there are ongoing advanced discussions
for the sale of additional villas at Amanzoe, which are expected to complete soon.
•A further two Amanzoe Villas were added to Amanzoe’s rental programme in July 2014, bringing
the total to four. Construction is progressing well on three further villas, which are due to complete
within 2015. Construction for one additional villa is expected to begin in Q4 2014.
THE JACK NICKLAUS GOLF COURSE AND VILLAS AT KILADA HILLS
www.denniston.com.my
www.nicklaus.com
www.zoniro.com
•The Company is in negotiations with a major regional bank for a €16 million long term senior
construction loan facility and a c. €6.5 million VAT bridge facility for the construction cost input VAT,
and for the development of the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course and Club House, and the
project’s Beach Club. Through the development of these leisure components, the Company expects to
be able to sell over 110,000 m2 of golf residences and c. 20,000 m2 of hilltop villas in this first phase.
•As reported in the Company’s annual report released on 26 March 2014, the improved Strategic
Investment permit for the entire project including the hotel component is advancing. The approval of
the Strategic Environmental Impact Study from the regional council received on 10 June 2014 and
the approval by the Ministry of Culture received on 30 July 2014 pave the way for the dispatch of the
draft Presidential Decree, for review by the Greek Council of State, the completion of which will
effectively seal the Strategic Incentive permitting process.
• In parallel, the existing building permits for the golf course remain in force and construction can start
imminently, subject to finalising the funding package, which, in addition to the bank finance, would
require an equity contribution or third party investment of approximately €14 million.
THE NIKKI BEACH RESORT & SPA AT PORTO HELI
• Nikki Beach welcomed its first guests on 28 July 2014 with notable coverage across the international
and regional press.
• In August, the hotel enjoyed consistently high occupancy, which reached 100% on a number of days.
The feedback received so far confirms that Nikki Beach complements the Amanzoe offering, further
enhancing The Porto Heli Collection experience.
•PR and marketing activities are underway and a PR agency has been appointed to promote the
hotel operations and launch the project’s residential offering internationally, with 49 units being put
forward for sale.

…our first completed luxury resort, drawing its name from the Sanskritderived word for ‘peace’, ‘aman’, and ‘zoe’, the Greek word for ‘life’.
In the realm of Greek luxury resorts lies a contemporary retreat embracing
Greece’s rich history and culture. Amanzoe offers travellers an ideal base
from which to explore the natural beauty, coastal pleasures and ancient
heritage of the Peloponnese region.

Following the termination of the Venus Rock Sale
Agreement with China Glory Investment Group
(‘CGIG‘) as reported in the Company’s June trading
update, DCI Holdings Two Ltd (the parent company
of Aristo) has decided to run a competitive process
for the divestment of the Venus Rock project.
Alongside this activity, Aristo has been developing

to as the ‘Pebble Beach of the
Caribbean’, it has the only
golf course in the western
hemisphere with 10 holes
running alongside
20m-high cliffs bordering
the Atlantic Ocean.

Progress within 2014
Construction of the Aman Hotel is on schedule, with all 30 pavilions
and the main lodge currently being built. The mock up pavilion of
the Aman Hotel was completed, reviewed and approved by Aman
Resorts in June 2014. Completion and opening is expected in the
third quarter of 2015.
The renovation of the front nine holes of the Robert Trent
Jones Snr. golf course is scheduled to commence shortly, following
the recent completion of the full renovation of the back nine holes
by Rees Jones. We anticipate that the completion of the entire golf
course will coincide with the commencement of operations at the
Aman Hotel.
On 21 August 2014, Dolphin signed a non-binding term sheet
with a US institutional investor for a proposed investment in Playa
Grande through the issue of a six-year $30 million mezzanine debt
facility to DCA Holdings 7 Ltd, the holding company of the Playa
Grande project. Since the signing of this term sheet, the investor
has been undertaking legal, financial and technical due diligence,
and the parties are working towards the closing of the transaction,
which is expected in October 2014, at which time further details
will be announced.
This funding will enable Dolphin to accelerate the completion
of all complementary leisure facilities to the Aman Hotel (including
the Aman beach club, golf clubhouse, spa, gym, tennis, kids’ club,
hiking and equestrian trails), to cover all general project overhead
costs and debt service until the project becomes cashflow positive
without relying on further pre-sales, and to complete the design of
the project’s Playa Navio phase (second phase).

The team is value-engineering the designs for the planned Ritz
Carlton Reserve hotel and construction is expected to begin in the
first quarter of 2015, subject to the successful conclusion of ongoing
discussions with regional banks to increase the approved debt
facility of $21 million to $33 million, and sourcing the $30 million of
additional equity required.
The regional investor group that acquired the Founders’ Phase
is advancing construction works and the first group of turn-key
villas and condos is scheduled to be delivered by the end of 2014/
early 2015. Infrastructure works are progressing on schedule and
various components of the Founders’ Phase peninsula such as the
airport, beach club, service pier, marina and breakwater have been
completed.
The sale of lots and turn-key properties in the Founders’
Phase is progressing, with values reflecting the strong demand and
limited supply of luxury residential opportunities in Panama.
Dolphin remains in discussions with various strategic groups
that have indicated an interest in investing and participating in one
of the many development phases of the island, including the Ritz
Carlton Reserve, the Marina Village and another luxury branded
resort phase.

Aristo
(a 49% subsidiary of DCI)
www.aristodevelopers.com
52 homes and plots were sold by Aristo in the eight-month period
ending 31 August 2014, representing sales of €16 million. Both
figures are in line with the performance over the corresponding
period in 2013. 51% of the clientele originated from Russia and
40% from China.
As indicated by the level of sales over the period, Aristo’s sales performance
remains poor, putting a strain on the company’s cashflows. As a result, Aristo has
prioritised its payments so as to ensure that its development programme continues
on course, while it is making good progress in restructuring its bank obligations in a
long term and sustainable way, which will benefit both the company’s shareholders
and its lenders – since such obligations are fully secured against land mortgages
exceeding the respective loan values. To that regard, Aristo has already agreed the
restructuring of its loan obligations with all of its lenders, except one – its major
lender – with whom the company is in advanced discussions to agree a significant
deleveraging of the Aristo group through a project level debt-to-preferred-equity
conversion, together with the re-profiling of the Aristo Group’s loan maturities and
reductions in the interest rates incurred.
In parallel, the company is taking action, both at the wholesale level (for example,
by selling Venus Rock Golf Resort) as well as at the retail level by launching new
projects to enhance the diversification of product offering and support its sales
potential.
In addition to the ongoing challenging market conditions, recent sales
performance has been adversely affected by negative publicity relating to an
investigation carried out by the authorities with regard to the subdivision of 177 land
plots in a 160,000 m2 site owned by Aristo in the Paphos area. Mr. Aristodemou and
his wife were detained for questioning in the context of this investigation. The size
of the disputed green area is 2,730 m2 which, although not material, has drawn
disproportional attention by the local investigators and media, due to the previous
appointment of Mr. Aristodemou as the Chairman of Board of the Bank of Cyprus.
The Aristo management is fully cooperating with the local authorities on all
aspects of the investigation, and remains confident that its result will demonstrate
that there has been no inappropriate action or intended omission by Aristo.

Supporting communities continued
PEARL ISLAND
The Pearl Island Foundation continues to invest in programmes designed to strengthen the local
economic and social development of the Pearl Island community, in order to make a significant
difference in the lives of the local population. The first half of 2014 was marked by several milestones:
1.Continued
efforts to improve the standard of local education. Since the inception of the programme
six years ago, the youth of the island have benefitted from a new curriculum and improved facilities.
In 2014, the programme instituted a new Bachelor Degree in Tourism (grades 10th to 12th) and
developed new pavilions for this new group of students. The programme has been designed and
developed with the approval and oversight of Panama’s Ministry of Education.
2. Teaming
up with INADEH (National Institute for Vocational Training and Human Development) to
provide the community with basic training and marketable skills in vocations, like retailing skills and
dress making, that will prepare the community for tourism and hospitality employment and provide
a measure of independence and economic empowerment.
3. Enhancing
the summer programme ‘Sunrise in Pedro Gonzalez’, which this year was planned and
organised by a special committee integrated with people of the community under the supervision and
direction of trained external counsellors retained by the Pearl Island Foundation. The summer
experience is an opportunity for children to learn new skills and cultivate their sense of independence
and self-reliance. Programme activities include adventure and scouting, arts and crafts, music
development, and sports.
4. Improving
access to basic services such as health, sanitation and clean water, which is a constant
challenge with local population often unable to travel to hospitals for medical care. The Pearl Island
Foundation continued to support a mobile healthcare programme in co-ordination with the Ministry
of Health. The programme aims provide the population with access to healthcare and sanitation.
5. Completing
significant investments in the infrastructure of the island to improve the sanitation and
living standards of the community, such as 150 metres of pavements and a new water treatment
plant to deliver potable water to the community.
THE PLAYA GRANDE PROJECT
The Playa Grande project, through the Playa Grande Foundation, continues developing programmes
aimed at the sustainable development of the surrounding communities in its area of influence in the
north coast of the Dominican Republic. Focus has been placed on the areas of education, sports, and
culture, with the pursuit of the following key initiatives:
1. Funding
a pre-school for over 30 local children in the town of Abreu. The Playa Grande Foundation
continues to finance the pre-school programme and run it in partnership with the Dream Project
Foundation.
2. Establishing a library, together with enhancing reading programmes, in the elementary public school
of the town of Abreu.
3. Sponsoring
community sports development programmes and local inter-school competitions in
basketball and volleyball.
4. Sponsoring surfing competitions and an annual 10-k run for regional athletes.
5. Sponsoring
and organising as a key committee member the Rio San Juan carnival, the main annual
cultural event in the region, with its artisanal mask, costume and carnival troupe competitions. The
Rio San Juan carnival has developed into a unique cultural event, with all participants integrating a
marine theme to their costumes.
