R"000 R"000
Property investments and trading 11,181 7,789
Treasury investments (8,538) 6,223
2,643 14,012
Net interest paid amounted to R7.9 million (30 June 2002 - R2.1 million), as a
result of increased borrowings utilised to purchase investment properties during
the last 18 months.
Investment properties are valued at R101.1 million (30 June 2002 - R95.0
million). Inventories of R23.9 million comprise residential properties under
development in Bryanston, Sandton, and have been sold during the second half of
2003.
Investments in associated companies have increased to R19.3 million (30 June
2002 - R10.9 million) mainly through a R6.8 million revaluation of Sable"s
investment in its associated company, Sable Homes.
Interest-bearing borrowings have increased from R54.1 million to R75.7 million,
in order to finance the residential developments for resale.
Activities from investment properties and trading properties for resale
Sable Homes has developed and let its residential developments at the Wanderers
Country Club, Johannesburg, and Allen"s Nek, Roodepoort. A further residential
development in Epsom Downs, Bryanston, will be ready for occupation during
November 2003, with various other sites being viewed for residential development
during 2004.
Treasury Investments
The investment in The Appleton Global Hedge Portfolio, comprising international
fund managers utilising various investment strategies, reversed some of its
historical currency gains, however preserved its dollar-based unit fund price.
This investment was valued at R28.1 million (30 June 2002 - R36.7 million). The
reduction of the market value has been included under the company"s operating
profits in accordance with Accounting Standard, AC128.
Prospects
The development of a new upmarket residential project for resale in Lonehill,
Fourways will start during October 2003.
Expansion to Hobart Road Shopping Centre in Bryanston, Sandton, should begin in
early 2004, which will add approximately 3800m2 of lettable area to the existing
centre.
