DIRECTORS’ COMMENTARY
OVERVIEW OF THE BUSINESS
The Company has been established in Mauritius as a public company limited by shares holding a
category 1 Global Business License with the primary objective of investing in quality real estate
assets and companies that are income yielding with the prospect of capital appreciation. The
Company has a primary listing on the Stock Exchange of Mauritius Ltd (“SEM”) and a secondary
listing on the AltX of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (“JSE”). Since incorporation, the Company
has successfully raised £33.3 million by way of various private placements to invited investors.
In March 2014, the Company invested a portion of the capital raised into a portfolio of listed real
estate investments. As at the 30 November 2014, the value of the Company’s listed portfolio was
£1.1 million.
The Company then acquired 100% of the allotted and issued share capital of Seahawk Investments
Limited (“Seahawk”), at a total cost of £11.5 million. Seahawk is an investment holding company,
incorporated in the Isle of Man and whose principal assets are investments in various equity and
debt instruments and securities related to a portfolio of 30 retail warehouse properties located in
the UK and currently tenanted by Booker Group Plc, a major UK wholesale retailer.
COMPANY REVIEW FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2014
The Company is pleased to report adjusted headline earnings per share of 1.44 pence which is in line
with expectations. The adjusted headline earnings represent the profit for the period of
£0.19 million adjusted for once off costs relating to the incorporation and listing of the Company,
acquisition of Seahawk and foreign exchange losses totalling £0.19 million.
During the quarter under review, the Company raised capital of £13.3 million through a private
placement of shares. Subsequent to the quarter end a further £4.6 million was raised, bringing the
total capital raised since incorporation to £33.3 million. It is the intention of the Company to invest
the proceeds raised from the recent private placements into direct properties over the next few
months.
COMPANY OUTLOOK
The Company has identified certain direct property opportunities which meet the overall investment
criteria and hopes to conclude these acquisitions in the next quarter. This, together with the
earnings from the existing portfolio, should produce increased headline earnings per share for the
next quarter.
