NOTES
1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the interpretations adopted by
the International Accounting Standards Board, South African Institute of Chartered
Accountants Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices
Committee and Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial
Reporting Standards Council and include disclosure as required by IAS 34: Interim
Financial Reporting, the Companies Act of South Africa, 2008 and the JSE Listings
Requirements.
The financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies that comply
with IFRS and which are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012.
2 Unaudited results
These results have not been reviewed or reported on by the group's auditors.
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the
supervision of Damian Johnson CA(SA) and were approved by the board of directors
on 6 March 2013.
3 Preference dividend
A dividend on the 6% cumulative preference shares for the six months ended
31 December 2012 in the amount of R8 400 was declared on 5 December 2012 and paid
on 7 January 2013.
COMMENTARY
Group results
In line with the trading update dated 14 November 2012 the group had a disappointing
first half of the year mainly due to the poor performance of Queenspark. Revenue
decreased by 10.3% largely due to the decrease in retail turnover, whereas the
gross profit decreased by 20.9% during the period under review.
Operating expenses were limited to a 0.9% increase. The operating financial results
reduced from an operating profit of R20.8 million in the prior period to an operating
loss of R12.4 million for the period under review.
The loss for the period amounted to R6.8 million compared to a profit of
R16.6 million in the prior period. Accordingly the headline loss for the six months
amounted to 33.8 cents per share compared to a profit of 80.5 cents per share in the
corresponding period.
Retail
The Queenspark retail segment turnover decreased by 10.3% and the gross profit margin
decreased from 54.5% to 48.1% during the period. The impact of both the lower sales
and lower gross margin resulted in the gross profit decreasing from R153.2 million
to R121.2 million.
As the cost price of goods sold is impacted by the movement in exchange rates
the weaker rand negatively impacted the gross profit margin. The effects of the
movement in the exchange rate could not be passed on to consumers under the current
market conditions.
Property
In line with the business strategy the development of the Rex Trueform Office Park
in Salt River is currently under way. This segment incurred a small loss for the
period (R0.1 million) due to development costs. Capital expenditure of R8.4 million
has been spent on the Rex Trueform Office Park during the period under review.
Prospects
Retail
We anticipate that there will be a continued reduction in both sales and
profitability in the second half of the financial year when compared to the
corresponding period. As noted in the trading update dated 14 November 2012, the
business is implementing various strategic initiatives which should have a positive
impact in the medium term.
Property
The business will continue with the Rex Trueform Office Park development and
accordingly a further R20 million will be spent on the project during the six months
ending 30 June 2013.
Any reference to the future financial performance included in this statement has
not been reviewed and reported on by the company's external auditors and does not
constitute an earnings forecast.
