The following Half-Yearly Report is being published pursuant to the terms of Chapter 5 of the Malta Financial Services Authority Capital Markets Rules. The condensed interim financial information has been extracted from the group's unaudited financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2022. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union.

This Half-Yearly Report has not been audited nor reviewed by the company's independent auditors.

Interim Directors' report

The Directors hereby present the company's financial results for the six months ending 30 June 2022.

Principal activities

The Group's principal activity, is to lease, manage and market the Plaza Shopping and Commercial Centre (owned by the Parent Company).

During the month of June, a 51% owned subsidiary company, named Esports Avenue Limited, was incorporated. Over the next 12 months, the Group does not expect that this new venture will contribute significantly to the Group's results. Esports Avenue Limited will be leasing 150sqm of retail space within The Plaza Shopping Centre which area features an Esports lounge and a fully fledged cutting edge studio attached to it, which combination is a first in the local Esports industry. The company started operating mid-July and the aim of this company is to combine the family fun aspect with the professional side of Esports, meaning that families and friends can enjoy popular Esport games and have fun together. The facility is also equipped to host professional teams who can rent the whole area for private bootcamps, training, tournaments and more. The space is also intended to be a hub for Esports education for adults and children alike.

Group Financial results

During the first six months of the year, the Group generated revenue of €1,434,877 (2021: €1,152,621) an increase of 24.49%, whilst EBIDTA increased by 33.93% to €1,070,553 (2021: €799,323). Profit before tax

increased by 55.7% to €679,011 (2021: €436,116). During the previous financial period the parent company, Plaza Centres plc, received an extraordinary dividend of €3,350,000 from the subsidiary company, Tigne

Place Limited. During the current period, the Group continued with the bond redemption exercise and redeemed a further €1,670,000 of its unsecured bonds (2021: €100,000)

The Group's occupancy at 30 June 2022 was 90% (30 June 2021: 83%). As from last December the office levels have been fully occupied. During the first few months of this year, there was further enchancement of the tenant mix within the Plaza Commercial Centre, mainly on level 0. These additions mainly refer to Esports Plaza and F45, a global fitness community with more than 3,000 gyms around the world, specializing in innovative, high-intensity group workouts that are fast, fun and result-driven.

The Directors do not anticipate a significant change in the Group's performance in the next six months. The Board remains cautious due to the prevailing economic challenges and the potential risk of a more COVID- 19 virus strain emerging.

As at 30 June 2022, the Board of Directors recommend the payment of an interim net dividend of €250,000 equivalent to €0.0098 per share (30 June 2021: Nil). The cut-off date for eligibility to dividends shall be the 5 August 2022 and that accordingly only shareholders on the register of members on that date shall be eligible to receive the dividend which will be paid on the 19 August 2022.
