INTRODUCTION
During the review period, Vunani
Properties Investment Fund Limited
(VPIF) continued to deliver on its
strategy of strengthening its
financial position and improving our
distributions through tight management
of its assets and continual
refurbishment of the buildings.
The company`s ultimate aim since
formation was to list the fund and
much of the first six months of 2011
was devoted to this activity. This
goal was achieved with resounding
success post the reporting date on 11
August 2011.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
The 2011 business year commenced as
the euphoria of the FIFA Soccer World
Cup started to wear off. Domestic
consumer indebtedness was at record
levels touching 80% equivalent of
personal disposable income resulting
in sustained sluggish domestic demand,
while uncompetitive exchange rates and
depressed European demand hampered
exports.
The South African economy managed to
recover somewhat and eventually
rendered GDP growth of 2,8%. However,
the global economic downturn has
exerted pressure on rentals and
vacancies across the office sector. In
addition, tenants were affected by
steep increases in overhead costs
(electricity charges and municipal
rates) which consequently resulted in
a weaker office rental demand as
business owners chose to consolidate.
Hands-on management resulted in high
tenant retention and low vacancy rate
across the portfolio.
The year ahead is seen as challenging
with the recovery in the office sector
being slower than expected. VPIF`s
strategic decision to focus on its
chosen niche of A and B+ grade office
properties, combined with its
experience in refurbishments,
positions it well to take advantage of
the expected office sector recovery in
the medium term.
FINANCIAL POSITION
During the six months under review,
VPIF continued to deliver an
attractive distribution of R16 350 588
with underlying lease escalations in
excess of 8.5%. The compounded total
return since inception remained solid
at 34.3% per annum with capital growth
at 15.7% and distribution growth of
18.6%.
The property portfolio was
independently valued and the book
value increased by 1% from R776 522
427 to R782 436 543 with the
completion of some of the
refurbishment projects. Net rental and
related revenue for the review period
increased by 7.69%, whilst property
related expenses increased by 15%.
Other operating expenses increased by
8.6% after removing listing costs.
This resulted in an operating profit
for the year of R14,955 377. The net
cost to income ratio (net of
recoveries) is 23.9%.
The Fund`s debt remained relatively
low at a 39.1% loan to value. During
the period management broke the fixed
debt at 11.88% and re-fixed it at
9.95% for 5 years. It is the strategy
of the Fund not to take interest rate
risk.
SEGMENTAL REPORTING
The group has six reportable segments
based on the geographic split of the
country which are the group`s
strategic business segments. For each
strategic business segments, the
group`s CEO reviews internal
management reports on at least a
monthly basis. All segments are
located in South Africa. There are no
single major customers.
The following summary describes the operations in each of
the group`s reportable segments:

MANAGEMENT
VPIF is fortunate to have retained the
same leadership team since its
formation five years ago. Their
collective experience and commitment
has undoubtedly proved beneficial to
the establishment and growth of VPIF
and we are confident that they will
prove their worth once again after the
listing of VPIF on the JSE.
PROSPECTS
The board believes that the office
market is currently near its lowest
ebb, thereby creating embedded value
for incoming investors. Office
property rentals are expected to rise
disproportionately in the medium term
as the current oversupply is absorbed
and the lack of new developments
impacts on rentals.
VPIF will continue to utilise its BEE
rating to retain Government tenants
and selectively acquire new Government
tenanted buildings, based on sound
investment fundamentals. The high
proportion of single tenant and
National Government or listed tenants
is expected to underpin strong cash
flows.
APPRECIATION
We would like to thank our fellow
directors and board members for their
strategic direction and tireless
dedication in taking VPIF to market.
Equally important is the support we
received from our tenants and business
partners.
Statements contained throughout this
announcement regarding the prospects
of the group have not been reviewed or
