Directors` commentary on results
Comparative analysis between 30 June 2011 (reviewed) and 30 June 2010 (audited)
The group reported a net profit of R20.3 million (2010: R8.4 million) for the
year ended 30 June 2011. Earnings per share increased by 141.1% from 92.0 cents
to 221.7 cents, with no dilution in either year, whilst headline earnings per
share increased by 16.4% from 47.6 cents to 55.4 cents per share. Net asset
value per ordinary share increased by 5.36% from 4 141 cents to 4 363 cents.
Revenue decreased by 20.83% from R38.2 million to R30.2 million. Revenue
decreased due to the sale of the Kya Sand property portfolio in October 2010.
Consolidated condensed statement of comprehensive income
Fair value gains on investments and investment property increased from R1.2
million to R4.2 million. The property yields applied to the property portfolio
remained consistent with the previous year and indicate a marginal improvement
in the underlying operational cash flow pertaining to the property portfolio.
Group finance costs, net of investment and finance income, decreased from R16.5
million to R8.8 million. The decrease in finance costs was attributable to
reduced borrowings from the disposal of the Kya Sand portfolio and overall lower
bank funding rates.
Share of profits from associates and joint ventures increased from R2.3 million
to R16.4 million. The recently upgraded retail shopping centre, Cramerview
Shopping Centre located in Bryanston, Sandton, of which Sable`s investment is
50%, was revalued to the extent of R2.8 million#. The increase is primarily
attributable to the introduction of a prominent anchor tenant and an improved
tenant mix. Sable`s 50% investment in Amrich Properties 58 as well as Sable`s
32.4% investment in the Hazeldean Retail Trust Shopping Centre, both significant
property portfolio`s within the group, returned to profitability reflecting a
R3.4 million# and R2.2 million# fair value gain respectively.

Woodmead, Sandton, was disposed of for R4.6 million yielding a profit on

investments in associates and joint ventures increased by a net R20.9 million.

Significant current Developments and Prospects
Joint venture and associates
Sable, along with its joint venture partner, has completed a R68.0 million re-
development of Hobart Grove Retail Shopping Centre in Bryanston, Sandton, with
an indicated initial rental yield of in excess of 11%. Anchors include a
SuperSpar, Tops, La Campagnola restaurant and many other quality offerings.
Sable, along with its joint venture partner, has redeveloped Cramerview Retail
Shopping Centre. The redevelopment was completed in June 2011 and has
significantly enhanced the quality of the tenant profile and mix.
Sable, along with its joint venture partner, has purchased a commercial office
park measuring 4 200mSquared in Northcliff, Johannesburg, on a 12% initial
rental yield for R32.0 million. The park is well located and comprises 10
separate office blocks with the possibility of sectional title resale.
Sable, along with its joint venture partner Amrich Properties 58, is
investigating a R60.0 million conversion of two existing properties in Midrand,
Johannesburg, into a 7 500mSquared retail shopping centre with national anchor
and franchisee retailers. The development is subject to prerequisite leasing,
financing and town planning conditions being approved.
Sable, along with its joint venture partner, intends to formalise a R46.0
million restructure and unbundling of both industrial development land and
industrial investment property, with future development within the site
including additional mini and maxi-industrial warehousing for both resale and
further investment purposes are being planned.
Residential development in Hazeldean, Pretoria East, continues with the second
and third phases of retirement housing, assisted living apartments and
traditional family cluster units being launched. Sales in regard to these

and investment in Laserdowns, Johannesburg, with a value of R20.0 million.
