(“New Frontier” or “the Company” or “the Group”)
ABRIDGED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR THE TWO MONTHS ENDED 31 MAY 2015
The Company has been established in Mauritius as a public company limited by shares holding a Category 1 Global Business
Licence. The Company has its primary listing on the Stock Exchange of Mauritius ("SEM") Ltd and a secondary listing on the
AltX of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("AltX"). The primary objective of the Company is to acquire good quality income
generating property assets situated in the United Kingdom.
REPORTING CURRENCY
The Company’s results are reported in Pounds Sterling.
BUSINESS REVIEW
On 14 April 2015 the Company acquired two shopping centres in the United Kingdom, in Burton and Middlesbrough for a total of
£182.5 million, including costs, via an investment in a wholly owned Guernsey company called New Frontier Guernsey 1
Ltd. Since acquisition the shopping centres have continued to perform as expected.
The Company has reported a profit of £626,010 for the two months ended 31 May 2015. This performance is in line with forecasts
and validates the Company’s investment strategy which is to acquire good quality income generating property assets.
The Company has changed its financial year end from 31 st December to 31st August. Accordingly the next annual report will be
presented for the 31 August 2015 financial year end.
RESTATEMENT AS AT 31 MARCH 2015
The Group’s figures reported for the quarter ended 31 March 2015 have been amended and the restated comparative figures are
included within this report. These include reclassifications of £73 million from ‘Investment Property’ to ‘Cash and Cash
equivalents’ and £4 million from ‘Investment Property’ to ‘Shareholder’s equity’ on the Statement of Financial Position as at 31
March 2015. These are explained by the timing difference between the equity cash receipt and the property transfer date of the
two shopping centres and the capital raise costs incurred for the shares issued.
Issue costs amounting to £97,500, initially expensed to profit or loss, have been amended and now debited against Shareholder’s
equity, in line with the proposed accounting treatment under International Financial Reporting Standards.
Both of the restatements have an insignificant impact on the net reported figures.
CHANGES TO THE BOARD
Mr Hendrik Barnhoorn resigned from the Board, effective from 22 June 2015.
The following directors were appointed to the Board, effective from 22 June 2015:
Ms Catherine McIlraith as independent non-executive director; and
Mr Tinesh Ramprusad as non-executive director.
PROSPECTS
In March 2015, based on the issue price of £1.00, the Company stated an indicative 12 month forward yield of 7%. This remains
unchanged.
DIVIDEND
The Company’s dividend policy is to consider declarations of dividends on a six-monthly basis in line with its year end and half
year which are August and February. As a result, no dividend has been declared for the period under review.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
These abridged unaudited consolidated results for the two months ended 31 May 2015 have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards, including IAS34 – Interim Financial Reporting, the rules of the SEM and the Listings
Requirements of the JSE Limited.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES

consistent with those published in the audited annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, except for
Coastal Building Holdings Limited’s financial information, which has been presented under IFRS 5, ‘Non-Current Assets Held for
Sale’. As previously reported, an historic interest in Coastal Building Holdings Limited is in the process of being disposed of by
the Company.
