ABRIDGED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE
MONTHS ENDED 31 MAY 2016

DIRECTORS' COMMENTARY

Atlantic Leaf presents its results for the quarter ended 31 May 2016.

The first quarter results are in line with management forecasts. All acquisitions announced last year have
now been completed, are performing well and are reflected in the results for the quarter. Our total
assets currently stand at GBP274m up from GBP49m a year ago. We continue to search for investment
opportunities that meet our investment criteria. Whilst the UK market is challenging given the volatility
being experienced post the Brexit vote, once the market has settled, this could prove to provide good
opportunities.

The company's gearing remains conservative at 50% loan to value and its lease profile and quality of the
tenants, positions the company well to deal with the current market volatility.


On 16 May 2016, Atlantic Leaf paid a final dividend of 4 pence per share for the year ended 28 February
2016, which resulted in a full year dividend of 7 pence per share. The option to receive a scrip dividend
resulted in the issuing of an additional 451 938 new Atlantic Leaf shares at GBP1.08 per share.

The company's intention is to migrate its listing to the main board of the JSE and the company will advise
shareholders in due course of the progress and dates.

The company is confident of meeting the full year forecast of an 8.5 pence dividend per share.

COMPARATIVE NUMBERS

In order to provide a meaningful comparison of the results for the quarter the results for the prior year
have been revised to include the consolidation of the company with its subsidiaries. The revision of
the prior year has no impact on the previously disclosed net profit for the quarter and is the result of a
change in the basis of accounting for the subsidiaries in question which are now wholly owned and no
longer accounted for as investments. This change in the basis of accounting was dealt with in the
Company's 2016 Integrated Annual Report.

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 Licence. 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 Limited ("JSE").
