ABRIDGED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 AUGUST 2014
DIRECTORS’ COMMENTARY
OVERVIEW OF THE BUSINESSThe 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 Official Market of the Stock Exchange of Mauritius Ltd (“SEM”) and has
a secondary listing on the AltX of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (“JSE”). At the time of the initial
listings, the Company successfully raised GBP 15.3 million by way of various private placements to
invited investors.
The Company invested a portion of the capital raised into a portfolio of listed real estate investments.
As at the 31 August 2014, the value of the Company’s listed portfolio was GBP 1.1 million.
The Company also owns 100% of the allotted and issued share capital of Seahawk Investments
Limited (“Seahawk”), at a total cost of GBP 11.5 million. Seahawk is an investment holding
company, incorporated in the Isle of Man whose principal assets are a 30% investment in various
equity and debt instruments and securities related to a portfolio of 30 retail warehouse properties
located in the UK and tenanted by Booker Group Plc, a major UK wholesale retailer.
COMPANY REVIEW FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 31 AUGUST 2014
During the past quarter, the Company exercised the option granted to it to acquire the remaining 40%
of Seahawk it did not already own, and concluded the acquisition thereof for a consideration of GBP
4.6 million.
The Company is pleased to report adjusted headline earnings per share of 1.35 pence which is in line
with management expectations. The adjusted headline earnings represent the total comprehensive
income for the period of GBP 0.12 million adjusted for the sum of once off costs relating to the
incorporation and listing of the Company, acquisition of Seahawk and foreign exchange gains
totalling GBP 0.05 million.
COMPANY OUTLOOK
The Company will look to raise further capital over the next few months to be able to continue with
its strategy of buying quality income-producing property assets. The Directors are focused on
diversifying the property portfolio as it grows, whether through investments in direct property assets
or listed real estate securities, but expects to be overweight in certain property sectors during the
initial growth phase due to its size and concentration of investments.
Management is confident of concluding further asset acquisitions in the next quarter, although no
agreements have been concluded as yet.
It is the Company’s intention to make biannual distributions to shareholders. However the Directors
have decided that as the Company is in a start-up phase and is planning to raise further capital, the
Directors therefore do not propose a distribution for this six month period but plan a year end
distribution.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Directors are not aware of any matters or circumstances arising subsequent to the interim period
that require any additional disclosure or adjustment to the interim unaudited financial statements.
