Bk. Cyprus Hldg Regulatory News (BOCH)

We have reviewed Bank of Cyprus Holdings Public Limited Company's consolidated condensed interim financial statements (the "interim financial statements") in the Interim Financial Report of Bank of Cyprus Holdings Public Limited Company for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 (the "period").

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007, as amended, Part 2 (Transparency Requirements) of the Central Bank (Investment Market Conduct) Rules 2019 and the applicable requirements of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority.

The interim financial statements, comprise:

· The Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 30 June 2022;

· the Interim Consolidated Income Statement and Interim Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the period then ended;

· the Interim Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the period then ended;

· the Interim Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the period then ended; and

· the explanatory notes to the interim financial statements.

The interim financial statements included in the Interim Financial Report have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007, as amended, Part 2 (Transparency Requirements) of the Central Bank (Investment Market Conduct) Rules 2019 and the applicable requirements of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority.

As disclosed in note 3.2 to the interim financial statements, the financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the full annual financial statements of the group is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' ("ISRE (Ireland) 2410") issued for use in Ireland. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (Ireland) and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

We have read the other information contained in the Interim Financial Report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the interim financial statements.

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the directors have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that the directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not appropriately disclosed.

This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (Ireland) 2410. However future events or conditions may cause the group to cease to continue as a going concern.

Our responsibilities and those of the directors

The Interim Financial Report, including the interim financial statements, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the Interim Financial Report in accordance with the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007, as amended, Part 2 (Transparency Requirements) of the Central Bank (Investment Market Conduct) Rules 2019 and the applicable requirements of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. In preparing the Interim Financial Report including the interim financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements in the Interim Financial Report based on our review. Our conclusion, including our Conclusions relating to going concern, is based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for conclusion paragraph of this report. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the company for the purpose of complying with the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007, as amended, Part 2 (Transparency Requirements) of the Central Bank (Investment Market Conduct) Rules 2019 and the applicable requirements of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this conclusion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.
