Explanatory notes to the statement of financial position and
statement of comprehensive income
for the six months ended 30 September 2014
1. It is the group’s policy to value the entire investment property
portfolio on an annual basis by an independent valuator. The previous
valuation was done on 31 March 2014 and the next valuation will be
done on 31 March 2015.
The value of the investment property increased from 31 March 2014 by
8%, due to the construction at various properties. The construction
costs are financed by the interest bearing borrowings.
2. Most of Safari’s current lease agreements are in the second half
of the signed lease period. Sufficient new lease agreements and
renewals are in place.
3. A portion of the investment property held in Swakopmund, Namibia
is classified as inventory. Inventory’s value increased by 24% due to
the progress of the development project.
4. Safari raised in total R374 564 745 through the listing that took
place on 7 April 2014. The capital raised through the listing was
utilised to settle the bond balance.
Safari listed as a Real Estate Investment Trust and this led to a
change in the tax environment of the group. As Safari is not further
liable for capital gains tax on the fair value adjustment of the
investment properties, the deferred tax balance declined from the
2013 reviewed financial statements. In the 2015 financial year Safari
will distribute a minimum of 75% of its profits to the shareholders as
per the REIT requirements and the shareholders will be liable for the
tax on the profit distributed.
5. Trade and other receivables and trade and other payables
fluctuated from the comparative periods due to the Value Added Tax
(VAT) receivable from the South African Revenue Services for the
financial period under review. The VAT receivable is due to the current
construction projects at the various properties.
6. 17 075 090 shares were paid for and were issuable at 31 March 2014
to the value of R105 844 674, excluding the capital raising fee of
R1 478 927. There was also an oversubscription of shares that were not
issued on the listing to the value of R10 041 621 and was repaid
after year end. The amounts mentioned above were included in cash and
cash equivalents on 31 March 2014. These shares were issued on the
listing.
7. Shareholders’ loans were repaid shortly after the 2014 year end.
8. The interim property revenue includes rental income of R7 748 542
from the Heidelberg Shopping Centre, obtained in February 2014.
9. The operating expenses decreased as all the revamping and major
repairs of the shopping centres were completed in the 2014 financial
year.
10. As part of the business combination where the Heidelberg Shopping
Centre was obtained in February 2014, a R6 million bank guarantee was
delivered by Safari. The guarantee expires in November 2014 and earns
interest on a monthly basis.

R1,4 billion, is a retail-focused Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT)
listed on the JSE Limited (JSE) main board under the property section.
A total of 49 135 202 ordinary shares were issued in April 2014 by way
of a private placement, raising cash of R375 million, utilised to settle
all outstanding debt. On 7 April 2014 a total of 170 000 000 shares were
listed on the JSE. Safari invests in quality income-generating property
and revenue is generated through sustainable rental income.
There were no changes to the nature of the business during the
financial period under review.
Property portfolio
The property portfolio consists of seven properties. Four of the
properties are established retail centres serving as regionals in their
areas and are the income-generating assets in the Safari portfolio. These
include Denlyn in Mamelodi (42 200m²); Atlyn in Atteridgeville (39 680m²);
Thabong in Sebokeng (27 645m²); and The Victorian in Heidelberg (15 400m²).
National retailers Shoprite, Spar and Pick n Pay anchor these centres.
Safari’s portfolio is 100% retail based.
Letting activity: Vacancies remained below 1% of income-generating
retail space. The average rental escalation percentage for the period
was 9%.
Projects under construction
Atteridgeville
- The recent upgrades and extensions of Atlyn Centre, together with
Safari’s brand-new development on Maunde Street, brought a vibrant
CBD and meaningful retail node to Atteridgeville.
- Maunde is the main access road into Atteridgeville, recently
upgraded to a dual carriageway, and now runs alongside the
development. The new centre, developed right here on Maunde, with a
GLA of 10 500m², is anchored by Pick n Pay. Construction commenced in
April 2014 and the project is currently 36% completed. The expected
date of completion is May 2015.
- Further complementing the node is a new South Block extension to
the existing Atlyn Shopping Centre, soon to be completed and adding
1 517m². This new business node of over 50 000m² puts Atteridgeville
on the retail map, with the community being served by the widest range
of quality national brands.
Sebokeng
- Thabong Shopping Centre in Sebokeng will soon be a high-quality
retail node larger than 40 000m² to serve as a regional for Sebokeng
and surrounding areas. This large extension to Thabong is adding
13 500m² of retail space. With Pick n Pay as food anchor and Edgars the
fashion anchor, the national brands will represent 90% of the total
centre.
- All national retailers will be present at Thabong and the community
looks forward to a first phase of 9 500m² opening in November 2014,
and the second phase of 4 500m² to open in April 2016.
Swakopmund
- On 25 June 2014 the Board approved R462 million for the
Platz Am Meer Waterfront development in Swakopmund, Namibia. The
ground-breaking ceremony took place on 12 August 2014 with great
support for this development on both National and Council level. The
community waits with great expectation, as this will be the
establishment of a new landmark for Namibia. Construction is now well
under way.
- The location of the development is strategically incomparable. New
developments to the north are changing the patterns and flow of
traffic and business completely. Considering the spatial development
plan of Swakopmund, it is expected that within five years this
waterfront site will be right in the centre of the residential area.
- It comprises a mixed-use development of retail and upmarket
apartments. The apartments will be sold after completion. The
Waterfront is expected to be completed in April 2016. The waterfront
development is truly unique and a special addition to the coastal
town of Swakopmund, strengthening the town’s tourist attractiveness.
Acquisitions and disposals
During the current period, Safari purchased stand 86 and stand 96 of
Sebokeng for a total cost of R1 850 000. The stands are adjacent to
the current Thabong Centre and would form part of future developments
at Thabong.
Financial performance
Headline earnings increased by 132% to R46 813 183 compared with the
same period for the previous year of R20 158 735. Headline earnings
per share (cents) increased by 12% to 28 cents per share, compared
with 25 cents per share for the comparative period.
Funding
Safari has a secured loan facility of R600 million with 19% utilised.
Currently the debt represents 10% of the value of the assets and the
cost of finance is at the prime lending rate less 1%.

Credit Rating Co. (GCR):
- National long term: BBB(ZA)
