Unaudited Interim Results for the six months ended 28 February 2010
Further cautionary announcement
Directors` review
Commentary on financial results
Net asset value at the end of the interim period was R161.6 million (92
cents per share) which represents an increase of 14% since the last year-end
and 26% since the end of the previous interim period.
Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders amounted to R18.6 million
compared to a loss of R12.5 million in the previous interim period. The
improvement in earnings is due to an increase in profits from equity
accounted investments (discussed in more detail below), a reduction in
losses at Club Mykonos and the fact that there was no share trading during
the current period whereas a share trading loss was incurred in the previous
period.
A profit of R34.2 million arising from equity accounted investments was
recorded during the period (compared to R2.5 million in the previous interim
period). This amount is made up approximately as follows: R5.2 million
relates to operating income within associates, R12.7 million relates to
revaluations of investment properties and R16.3 million to the sale of
properties. Certain of the property sales are in terms of agreements which
allow for deferred payments, therefore the bulk of the equity accounted
income has no immediate impact on cash flows.
The loan impairment of R1 million (R17.3 million in the comparative period)
represents a mark-to-market adjustment in the group`s indirect investment in
Mazor Group Ltd.
The trading loss of R3.7 million (prior period R7.8 million) represents the
net costs of running the group`s operations.
Commentary on individual investments
Ingenuity Property Investment Ltd
At the reporting date the group held 137 million shares in Ingenuity
Property Investment Ltd (see Subsequent events below).
Boulevard Park Trust (37.5% interest)
Boulevard Park is a well-established landmark office park in Cape Town and
the park as a whole is now more than 80% let to blue-chip tenants. There is
a high level of interest in the remaining space.
The Boulevard was recognised at this year`s SAPOA awards for innovative
excellence in property development and won first prize in the category
"Office Developments". Faircape Property Developers conceived and managed
the project from inception and are to be congratulated on an excellent
performance during a challenging period for similar developments.
At the reporting date loans due from the Boulevard Park Trust amounted to
R67.6 million.
Club Mykonos Langebaan Ltd ("CML") (29.6% interest)
CML has performed according to expectations. Operating costs have been
reduced as far as possible and the resultant operating losses have been
curtailed. After the contribution from the Mykonos Casino, the company made
a small profit for the period. Future profitability is heavily dependent on
the market for coastal leisure property development. At present this market
is subdued.
Faircare Trust (40% interest)
The Faircare retirement villages are fully occupied and demand for resales
has been good in most areas. There is ongoing demand for high-end retirement
villages offering a full suite of services and we are confident that this
investment will yield excellent returns in the long term.
Other investments
The balance of the portfolio consists of minority interests in Grand Parade
Investments, Stalagmite (Pty) Ltd and The New Wembley Trust. These
investments were reported on at year-end and there are no new developments
which require commentary.
Subsequent events
The proceeds of the sale of shares in Ingenuity Property Investment Ltd
amounted to R68.5 million and were received after the reporting date. In
addition, an amount of R20 million due from the Boulevard Park Trust was
repaid after the reporting date.
These transactions have reduced the debt at the centre from R105.5 million
to R24.0 million. The group is therefore in a very sound financial position
and has sufficient capacity to make material new investments.
Cautionary announcement
The group is currently trading under a cautionary announcement and
shareholders are reminded that the company has entered into negotiations,
which if successfully concluded may have a material effect on the price of
the company`s securities. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to exercise
caution when dealing in the company`s securities until a full announcement
is made.

NOTES
1 Presentation of annual financial statements
Trematon Capital Investments Limited ("the company") is a company domiciled
in South Africa. The consolidated financial statements of the company for
the period ending 28 February 2010 comprise the company and its subsidiaries
(together referred to as the "group") and the group`s interest in jointly
controlled entities.
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), IAS 34 - Interim
Reporting, as well as the AC 500 Standards as issued by the Accounting
Practices Board, the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited and the South
African Companies Act. The interim financial statements have been prepared
on the going concern basis using a combination of the historical cost and
fair value basis of accounting.
All significant accounting policies have been consistently applied to all
periods presented and throughout the group.
The consolidated interim financial statements are stated in Rands, which is
the company`s functional and presentation currency.
The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS
requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, income and expenses.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience
and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under
circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements
about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the
estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or the period
of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and
future periods.
The interim financial statements have not been reviewed or audited by KPMG
Inc.
