ABRIDGED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 31 MAY 2015


DIRECTORS’ COMMENTARY

OVERVIEW OF THE BUSINESS

Atlantic Leaf is a Mauritian registered company, regulated by the Mauritius Financial
Services Commission and holds a Category One Global Business License. The primary
objective of the Company is to provide investors with consistent income and growth by
investing in quality real estate assets which generate appropriate income yields and
have potential of capital appreciation. The Company has a primary listing on the Stock
Exchange of Mauritius Ltd (“SEM”) and a secondary listing on the AltX of the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange (“JSE”).



COMPANY REVIEW FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 31 MAY 2015

Atlantic Leaf is pleased to present its results for the quarter ended 31 May 2015. The
Company earned adjusted headline earnings of 1.76 pence per share which was in line
with management’s expectations. The Company concluded the acquisition of the British
Capital portfolio at the beginning of this quarter, and these assets contributed
positively to the return.

Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company successfully raised £30.4 million of new
capital by issuing 12.4 million shares on the SEM at £1.10 per share and 15.2 million
shares on the JSE at R20.54 per share.    This capital raise sees the Company now well
capitalised and positioned for further growth.



The Company also made two significant acquisitions subsequent to quarter end. On 1 July
2015, the Company concluded the purchase of seven new properties at a total value of
£18.1 million with an expected forward yield of 7.4%. These properties are tenanted by
the Epwin Group, a specialist provider of low maintenance building products, listed on
the London Stock Exchange. On 2 July 2015, in a follow on acquisition, the Company
acquired the balance of the Booker portfolio c.70% at a gross property value of £89.4
million and a forward yield on the property of 8.1%. Both the Epwin and Booker
portfolios have existing debt in place and it is the Company’s intention to re-finance
the debt in the near future at lower interest rates, which will further benefit
returns.

The pro-forma balance sheet of the Company as the date of this announcement can be
summarised as follows:


Pro-forma Financial Position             as at 3 July 2015
