Comments
Basis of preparation and accounting policies
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements
conform to South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
and are consistent with the accounting policies applied in the prior year.
In order to comply with AC105 - Leases, revenue reflects rental income recogised
on a straight-line basis. Where material, the comparative figures have been
restated accordingly. The effect of the change in accounting policy referred to
above on the prior year"s earnings, headline earnings and net asset value per
share is as follows:
Headline Net asset
Earnings earnings value
Previously reported - cents 214.1 26.0 1,444.4
Change in accounting policy -
cents 2.8 - 2.8
Restated - cents 216.9 26.0 1,447.2
Financial Results
The group reported a net profit of R37.1 million (June 2004 - R16.4 million)
from a buoyant property market for the year ended 30 June 2005. Earnings per
share increased by 128% from 216.9 cents to 494.4 cents, with headline earnings
per share increasing by 574% from 26.0 cents to 175.4 cents for the year ended
30 June 2005.
Operating profits are represented as follows:
June 2005 June 2004
R"000 R"000
Property investments and trading 9,098 14,590
Treasury investments 3,719 (1,932)
12,817 12,658
The net asset value per share increased by 32% to R19.09 from June 2004. A
revaluation surplus of R6.5 million on the investment property portfolio
represented a weighted average 9% increase from June 2004.
Acquisitions and developments
Sable acquired investment properties amounting to R45.3 million during the year,
comprising industrial and office parks
as well as a retail shopping centre in Krugersdorp. Various office, industrial
and retail developments will be completed during the forthcoming year with
initial yields ranging between 12% -13%.
Disposals
Cash disposals of Midway Mews Shopping Centre in Midrand, Johannesburg, and
various commercial properties situated in Braamfontein, CBD Johannesburg,
resulted primarily in proceeds of R94.5 million being generated.
Treasury investments
The investment in The PSG Global Hedge Portfolio reversed last year"s loss of
R2.5 million, due to rand weakening and the improvement of a dollar-based unit
price. The closing investment at June 2005 was R27.9 million (June 2004 - R25.5
million).
The domestic share portfolio managed by BOE Securities (Pty) Ltd performed well
by increasing the investment value
from R1.8 million to R3.3 million at June 2005.
Associate investments
Sable Homes, of which Sable Holdings has a 45% interest, added net earnings of
R10.4 million during the year, mostly from the development and resale of stands
in residential housing estates in the Gauteng area. Other significant associate
earnings
totalled R1.7 million and were derived from a revaluation surplus of a
commercial office investment property in Bryanston, Sandton.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings decreased from R70.7 million to R36.9 million at
June 2005, as a result of cash from disposals
being temporarily repaid to lending institutions. Interest-bearing borrowings to
total capital and reserves equated to 25.8% (June 2004 - 64.5%).
Prospects
Sable Homes has acquired significant land holdings in Midrand and Pretoria, and
will continue to develop these in accordance with buyers demands. Sable Holdings
has developed and acquired further investment property amounting to R37.3
million subsequent to year end. Opportunities in all property segments are
continually being reviewed both internally and with strategic partners.

The consolidated results for the year have been audited by Andre van der Merwe
and Associates and their unqualified audit report
is available for inspection at the company"s registered office.
