AUDITED ABRIDGED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 (the "financial statements")
DIRECTORS' COMMENTARY
NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
Grit is a pan African property income fund focusing on African real estate assets (excluding South Africa),
underpinned by predominantly US Dollar and Euro denominated medium to long term leases with high quality
counterparties delivering sustainable income. Listed in July 2014, the Company holds dual primary listings on the
Stock Exchange of Mauritius ("SEM") and on the main board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("JSE").
The Group's strategy remains to expand its property portfolio throughout targeted countries in Africa, with assets
that will provide sustainable long term, hard currency based income from high quality counterparties with a core
focus on enhancing shareholder value and dividend yield.
REVIEW
The 2017 financial results have shown a solid return with the resilient property portfolio delivering an increase in
distribution of 2.7% on the prior year's result for a total distribution per share of US$12.07 cents per share ("cps")
for 2017.
While the recent successful rights offer and efficient deployment of the proceeds has dominated the 2017
financial year, we should not lose sight of the existing portfolio and other acquisitions completed during the year
and the impact these acquisitions have made in creating a diverse portfolio of assets across a number of
jurisdictions and asset classes. The successful entrance into the Euro based Mauritian hospitality assets and the
continued ability to provide true hard currency based income streams have further de-risked the portfolio through
diversification.
Combined weighted average lease expiry ("WALE") has increased from 5.8 years to 6.4 years at the reporting date.
Following the transfers of the Imperial Warehouse and Beachcomber Hospitality Investment ("BHI") transactions,
in August 2017 WALE currently stands at a healthy 7.8 years. Although WALE has increased substantially as a result
of the new acquisitions, the continuing asset management of the existing portfolio has also borne fruit with the
finalisation of a number of lease renewal negotiations, most notably the Vodacom and KPMG leases in
Mozambique (both with 10 year renewals negotiated). WALE on the existing portfolio has increased from 5.8 years
in June 2016 to 6.1 years at 30 June 2017.
The capital raised from the Rights Issue was utilised to finalise the following (including payments made after year end):
USD m
BHI Transaction (44.4% of three Beachcomber resorts) (EUR5m paid after year-end) 28,7
Vale Accommodation Compound (final payment) (US$4.1m paid after year-end) 18,2
Settlement of the equity revolver facilities 17,7
Cosmopolitan Mall (final payment) 15,7
Imperial Warehouse (final payment) (US$12.0m paid after year-end) 13,1
Anadarko Phase II Construction 6,6
Share Issue Expenses (US$3m paid after year-end) 4,6
Investment in 6.25% of Letlole La Rona Limited (US$3.8m paid after year-end) 3,8
Investment in Gateway Delta Development (initial investment) 2,0
TOTAL CAPITAL DEPLOYED 110,4
The Company has further capital commitments towards BHI of Euro 3.2m (in November 2017 following the
completion of the additional 40 rooms at Le Victoria Hotel and Spa) as well as towards Gateway Delta
Developments based on capital calls following the execution of their seed projects.

Total investment properties have increased from US$295m in 2016 to US$492m in 2017. Post the transfers
concluded in August 2017, total property investments now stands at US$546m.
EVOLUTION OF NAV PER SHARE
The NAV per share from the previous financial year decreased by 7.6% or US$12.33cps from US$163.27cps to
US$150.94cps. This drop in NAV per share was a direct result of the capital raised to grow the portfolio, including
the Rights Offer concluded on the 28 June 2017, which accounted for a drop of US$11.56cps. On a like for like
basis of NAV per share net of distributions for the period and the Rights Offer, NAV per share increased by 2.2%
or US$3.43cps.
Although the net operating income per building is increasing in line with escalations, valuation increases are being
hampered by the macroeconomic climate, particularly in Mozambique. The positive news from Mozambique and
more particularly ENI's capital investment amounting to US$8.4billion, that commenced in June 2017, will provide
the long-awaited impetus for sustainable economic growth in Mozambique, culminating in the monetarisation of
the large gas deposits.
Please see the press announcement for the movement of the NAV per share.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
GRIT achieved an increase in distribution of 2.7% for the financial year, with a full year dividend of US$12.07cps
versus US$11.75cps in 2016. Distributable income increased 42.3% from US$10.63m to US$15.13m
Rental income including associates increased 14%, with such increase being attributable to rental escalations the full year
impact of properties acquired in 2016, as well as the income from both Mall de Tete and the Lux Tamassa resort that transferred
in March 2017. Although vacancies across the portfolio remain low at 3%, the strategic vacancies within Anfa Place Shopping
Centre (in line with the upgrade to the centre) limited the increase in overall revenue. Anfa's reduced rentals impacted rental
income by US$1.0m against 2016.
When comparing monthly rental income on a like for like basis, monthly rental income increased by 28.2%. On further
analysis, existing properties excluding Anfa Place Shopping Centre increased by 4.5% while Anfa Place Shopping Centre
decreased by 9.8%, resulting in total existing properties rentals reducing by 1.1%. New acquisition accounted for an
increase of 29.4%. Properties transferred post year end will increase monthly rental by an additional 30.4%.
Property operating costs including associates increased by 28% with the inclusion of Mall de Tete and Tamassa Resort
in March 2017 and the full year impact of 2016 acquisitions. A contributing factor to the increase in operating costs was
the provision for doubtful debt of US$709k. Provision for doubtful debts comprises mainly of Clear Ocean Hotel and
Resort Limited (US$311k), a tenant in the Barclays House Building in Ebene, Mauritius following the courts granting of a
provisional liquidation order over the tenant post year end.
As a result of the above, total Operating cost percentage (including associated companies) rose by 3.0% to 27.5%.
Although administration expenses increased by 45.2% over the prior year, administration expenses dropped to 1.1% of
total property investments compared to the prior year's 1.3%. The increased staff numbers to manage the increasing
property portfolio, and the costs associated with transferring the head office to Mauritius contributed to the increased
costs. With the Company's active on site management approach to asset and property management in the various
jurisdictions, the Company has attracted a number of highly skilled and experienced staff to manage the portfolio.
The head count of staff has increased from 30 in 2016 to 51 by the end of 2017.
As the investment into BHI (the acquisition of the three Beachcomber assets in Mauritius) in December 2016 was initially
structured as a convertible loan, interest income has increased significantly in 2017. On 11 August 2017, following the
approval by the necessary regulatory authorities, the EUR12.5m loan was converted to equity, resulting in 44.4% of the
shares in BHI being issued to GRIT. Future income on this deal will be recorded under "Share of profits from Associates".
As a result of the stabilized exchange rate between the US Dollar and the Mozambique Metical in December 2016,
realized exchange gains have reduced by 42.7% from the previous year. The Metical versus the USD has improved from
a maximum of MZN78.50 during the year to MZN59.09 by 30 June 2017 and as such has limited our ability to profit from
the strong USD position we have in Mozambique.
FINANCING
As financing is integral to our business model, the Group has continued to develop strong relationships with
financiers. The multi-banked approach adopted by GRIT has resulted in the introduction of new banking
relationships with Bank of China (now our biggest financier), State Bank Mauritius as well as Nedbank.
The total debt by financier is now as follows:
Debt per Financier (US$'000) 2017 2016 Movement
Bank of China 52,1 22.0% - 0.0% 100%
Investec 50,1 21.3% 51,7 31.6% -2%
Standard Bank 48,4 20.4% 60,1 36.7% -19%
State Bank Mauritius 35,7 15.0% - 0.0% 100%
AfrAsia Bank 19,3 8.1% 20,0 12.2% -3%
Rockcastle / Standard Bank 13,0 5.5% 19,0 11.6% -32%
Barclays 7,4 3.1% 7,9 4.8% -6%
Nedbank South Africa 5,7 2.4% - 0.0% 100%
Banco Unico 3,0 1.3% 2,9 1.8% 5%
Housing Finance Corporation 2,0 0.8% 2,0 1.2% 0%
237,4 100.0% 163,6 100.0% 45%
NOTE: Above figures include loans within associated companies
During the year under review, the Company successfully raised debt totalling US$106.5million.
A breakdown of the new debt is as follows:
Debt

Financier Rate Currency Term Related Property (US$'000)
Bank of China 6 Month Libor + 5.1% USD 5 years Mall de Tete
13,3

State Bank of Mauritius EUR 1 year Beachcomber
3.9% 10,2
State Bank of Mauritius Fixed 3.75% EUR 3 years Tamassa Resort 25,4
106,5
Debt continues to be matched to the underlying cashflows of the assets. The increase in the Euro based assets
has resulted in an increase in the proportion of debt transactions concluded in Euro's.
With the inclusion of the Euro based loans over the period, the Company has continued to reduce the weighted
average cost of debt ("WACD"), despite the 0.48% increase in the US$ three-month Libor, with the weighted
average cost of debt being reduced from 6.22% in 2016 to 5.78% for 2017.
Please refer to press announcement for the further details of the debt expiry profile.
Loan to value at 30 June 2017 reduced to 41.6% from 48.9% in 2016. Following the transfer of the BHI, Imperial
and the Vale Accommodation Compound and the resultant debt being paid out and cash utilised to make the final
payments, loan to value will normalise at c48.8%.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Other than those items mentioned above and contained in SENS announcements, no material event took place
between the 30 June 2017 and the reporting date.
Auditors have also asked that we need to insert the following column headings at the line that states

experienced management team and platform to capitalise on the significant opportunities on the continent. The
distribution growth forecast to be between 2.5% to 5% in US Dollars.
Any forecast included above has been based on the assumption of stable regional, political and economic
environments as well as a stable global macro-economic environment.
This forecast is the responsibility of the Grit Board and has not been reviewed or reported on by the auditors of
the Company.
