CHAIRMANS STATEMENT

Operating Environment The economic environment remained stable with year-on-year in ation falling from 2.98% in February to close the period at 1.87% in June 2013. Liquidity remained a major challenge showing no signs of improvement particularly for the property sector. The sector experienced a signi cant increase in rent arrears and void space as some businesses ended up vacating, closing down or downsizing. Access to lines of credit for the sector remained constrained with both local and foreign lines of credit either too short and expensive for long-term property development projects or unavailable altogether. Inspite of these challenges, the Company posted positive results, achieving an operating pro t of US$1.60 million compared to US$1.48 million, an 8% improvement over the same period last year. Investment property performance Rental income was adversely a ected by the constrained liquidity situation with total rental income recording a 4% growth to US$1.94 million from US$1.86 million over the same period last year. Collection of rent also slackened due to the challenges being experienced in the economy and dropped to average 97% compared to 100% over the same period last year. Void ratio rose from 9.1% to 11.8%. Portfolio debtors grew by 19% within the six months period to June 2013 and have become a serious cause for concern. Rigorous e orts to collect and recover all outstanding debts are being pursued and will remain a priority focus area for the Company. A provision for doubtful debts of US$612,780 has therefore been made. Financial performance Total revenue was US$3.65 million, a 24% increase from US$2.93 million over the same period last year. Rental income contribution reduced signi cantly from a high of 70% in December 2012 to 53% in June 2013 as projects income contribution to total income increased from 21% to 43% over the same period. Total administration costs for the period under review increased by 31% compared to the same period last year resulting in an operating pro t of US$1.60 million. This was an 8% increase above the US$1.48 million posted in the prior year. Projects update I am pleased to advise that your Companys strategy to diversify income and pursue development projects continues to bear fruit. Zimre Park Masvingo A total of 153 stands out of 338 have been sold at a value of US$2.69 million. In terms of land area, this represents 43% of the entire project. Todate, 54% of the project cost of US$4.96 million has been recovered. Sales are progressing slowly due to the general down-turn in the economy and the lack of mortgage nance in particular. The expected total value of the project at current market prices is US$6.96 million giving an expected return of 41%. The standard of houses constructed in the development is excellent and the project has become the most upmarket residential suburb in the City. Tynwald Project Harare Since my last statement, the Tynwald Project has been completed and the rst phase has been sold out. Partial compliance for the project has been obtained from the City of Harare with full compliance expected by end of September 2013. To-date, a total of 151 stands have been sold at a value of US$1.64 million. This represents 44% of the total project in terms of land area and 60% of the project cost has been recovered. The total value of the project at current prices is estimated at US$3.84 million, an expected return of 41%. Disposal of the remaining project stands will commence at an appropriate time. Directorate Messrs E A M Ndudzo and M Murape resigned from the Board during the period under review. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank them for their invaluable contributions to the Company. I also wish to welcome Ms Jean Maguranyanga and Mr Edwin Zvandasara who joined the Board during the same period. Dividend The Board has resolved to pass the interim dividend in order to fund ongoing projects and strategic asset purchases that the Company is pursuing. Outlook Your Company continues to actively seek and pursue opportunities to diversify and enhance the value of its property portfolio for the bene t of all stakeholders. Appreciation I wish to thank all shareholders, stakeholders, management and sta for the support and hard work over the period under review and lastly my fellow Board members for their support and wise counsel.
