Commentary on the December 2012 interim financial statements
1. Operating performance
The Group managed to grow revenue from R46.7 million in December 2011 to R47.3 million in December 2012.
The increase of 1.13% is an indication of tight trading conditions. Other direct property operating costs increased
from R27.7 million to R30.2 million for the same period. This represents an increase of 9.05%. Administrative and
management expenses decreased by 11.83% but repairs and maintenance increased significantly by 61.32%. The
increase in maintenance costs reflects the drive to improve the general condition of all buildings. The operating profit
decreased with 28.74% from R13.3 million to R9.5 million. The total comprehensive income for the year improved from
a loss of R15 046 to a profit of R189 917. Finance cost decreased from R14.8 million to R8.5 million.
2. Basis of preparation
The condensed unaudited consolidated results have been prepared in accordance with the Framework concepts
and the measurement and recognition requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards, containing
information required by the IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, the AC 500 standards as issued by the Accounting
Practices Board and in the manner required by the Companies Act and the JSE Listings Requirements. These results
were prepared by Sandarie le Roux CA(SA).
3. Contingent liabilities
The company has signed surety for the obligations of its subsidiaries in respect of mortgage bond finance and has
guaranteed the debts of a wholly owned subsidiary company until that company's assets, fairly valued, exceeds its
liabilities, and whilst it remains a wholly owned subsidiary.
4. Investment property acquired and disposed
4.1 Acquired
No properties were acquired during the reporting period.
4.2 Disposed
The following properties were sold during the reporting period:
Marlboro 78 and Marlboro 84.
5. Subsequent events
The directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance arising since 30 June 2012, which would affect the results or operations of the
Group significantly.
6. Dividends
No dividends were paid or declared during the financial period under review.
7. Change to the Board of Directors
Dr A Parker has resigned from the Board of Directors from 1 January 2013.
8. Future prospects
The trading conditions remained tight during the reporting period, but a special initiative to reduce the vacancies has started to bear fruit and this
should have a positive influence on the results in the remaining period.
