Chairman's Statement
On behalf of the Board, I present the interim results for South African Property Opportunities plc ("SAPRO" or "the Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group") for the six months ended 31 December 2016.
Sale of the Portfolio
In December 2016 the Company reported that a contract had been concluded to sell the remaining assets for ZAR 60 million (GBP3.71 million). Of this ZAR 25 million (GBP1.49 million) had already been received with the remainder due in February (ZAR 11 million (GBP0.70 million)) and June 2017 (ZAR 24 million (GBP1.52 million)), secured by bank guarantees. This contract remains in place and binding, but the Company has been negotiating with the partner at the Brakpan asset regarding a pre-emption right. As a result the February payment, which is for the Brakpan asset, has been delayed pending resolution of certain legal matters.
Performance
As at 31 December 2016 the unaudited EPRA net asset value per share ("NAV"), taking into account the contracted sales and distribution costs was 12 pence compared with 11 pence at 30 June 2016. The rise in NAV primarily relates to a currency gain of 1 pence per share. Between 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2016 the exchange rate moved from ZAR:GBP 19.68 to ZAR:GBP 16.88, a rise of 16.6%. The Company does not hedge its South African Rand exposure. The Company has no bank debt.
A distribution of 7.25 pence per Ordinary Share was paid to shareholders on 27 January 2017.
Valuations
The portfolio was not revalued externally at 31 December 2016 and the figures adopted in the accounts are based on the agreed sale price.
Asset Management
The key efforts of the Investment Manager are focused on receiving the contracted sums and negotiating the pre-emption arrangements on the Brakpan asset.
Wind up
On receipt of the final payment steps will be taken to wind up the Company. The Board has already served notice where appropriate under various service agreements.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1 General Information
South African Property Opportunities plc (the "Company") was incorporated and registered in the Isle of Man under the Isle of Man Companies Acts 1931 to 2004 on 27 June 2006 as a public limited company with registered number 117001C. On 7 January 2011 with the approval of Shareholders in general meeting, the Company was re-registered as a company under the Isle of Man Companies Act 2006 with registered number 006491v. South African Property Opportunities plc and its subsidiaries' (the "Group") investment objective is the orderly realisation of a portfolio of real estate assets in South Africa and the subsequent return of capital to the shareholders.
The Company's property activities were managed by Group Five Property Developments (Pty) Limited ("Group Five"). Bridgehead Real Estate Fund (Pty) Ltd ("Bridgehead") was appointed as the replacement investment manager with effect from 1 July 2014. The Company's administration is delegated to Galileo Fund Services Limited (the "Administrator"). The registered office of the Company is Millennium House, 46 Athol Street, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 1JB.
Pursuant to a prospectus dated 20 October 2006 there was an authorisation to place up to 50 million shares. Following the close of the placing on 26 October 2006, 30 million shares were issued at a price of 100p per share.
The shares of the Company were admitted to trading on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM") on 26 October 2006 when dealings also commenced. On the same date the shares of the Company were admitted to the Official List of the Channel Islands Stock Exchange (the "CISX").
As a result of a further fundraising in May 2007, 32,292,810 shares were issued at a price of 106p per share, which were admitted to trading on AIM on 22 May 2007.
The Company's agents and its Investment Manager perform all functions, other than those carried out by the Board's executive and non-executive directors. The Group has two executive directors.
Financial year end
The financial year end of the Company is 30 June in each year.
2 Summary of significant accounting policies 2.1 Basis of preparation
The accounting policies applied by the Group in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016.
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 30 June 2016 which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union.
The interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2016 are unaudited. The comparative interim figures for the six months ended 31 December 2015 are also unaudited.
As the Group's objective is the orderly realisation of its assets with a view to returning capital to the shareholders thereafter, these financial statements have not been prepared on a going concern basis. During the realisation period the Group expects to trade in an orderly fashion and, in the Directors' opinion, the valuation bases applied to the assets and liabilities are such that there would be no material adjustments to the financial statements if they had been prepared on a going concern basis.
2.2 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
Management makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have been applied in the current period and which may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:
(a) Estimated impairment of inventory
The Group obtained third party valuations performed by Broll (Broll represent CBRE under the terms of a network agreement whereby Broll represent CBRE in those sub-Saharan markets where CBRE do not have a presence of their own. Together with South Africa this includes Nigeria and Ghana) on an annual basis at the end of June each year. These were used in conjunction with the strategic plan for each development in order to determine any impairment of inventory. At 30 June 2016 the valuations were adjusted to the sales proceeds which provided better evidence of the value of the portfolio at 30 June 2016.
During the period there were impairment charges in relation to inventory (see note 9).
3 Segment Information
The entity is domiciled in the Isle of Man. All of the reported revenue, GBP9,093 (31 December 2015: GBP68,415), arises in South Africa.
For the six months ended 31 December 2016 revenues of GBP6,832 (ZAR 122,110) and GBP2,261 (ZAR 40,413) were derived from single external customers and were attributable to the Imbonini phase 2 development and the Lenasia development respectively (31 December 2015: GBP154,511 (ZAR 3,217,528) attributable to the Imbonini development).
4 Cost of sales Period ended Period ended 31 December 2016 31 December 2015 GBP'000 GBP'000 ----------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------ Cost of inventory sold - 89 Property expenses 28 32 ----------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------ 28 121 Impairment/(reversal of impairment) of inventory (note 9) 1 (2) Total cost of sales 29 119 ----------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------ 5 Investment Manager's fees

Bridgehead was appointed as the replacement investment manager with effect from 1 July 2014 and is entitled to an annual management fee of GBP175,000 per annum (excluding VAT). Management fees for the period ended 31 December 2016 paid to Bridgehead amounted to GBP99,750 (31 December 2015: GBP99,750).

Bridgehead is not entitled to a sales fee under the investment management agreement dated 1 July 2014.
Performance fees

During the period of these accounts, the Chairman was entitled to an annual fee of GBP40,000, Stephen Coe was entitled to an annual fee of GBP35,000 and David Saville was entitled to an annual fee of GBP15,000.

The tax on the Group's profit before tax is higher than the standard rate of income tax in the Isle of Man of zero per cent. The differences are explained below:
Period ended Period ended 31 December 2016 31 December 2015 GBP'000 GBP'000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------ Profit/(loss) before tax 5,175 (2,883) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------ Tax calculated at domestic tax rates applicable in the Isle of Man (0%) - - Effect of higher tax rates in South Africa (28%) - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------ Tax expense - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------ 8 Basic and diluted profit/(loss) per share
Basic profit/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.
Period ended Period ended 31 December 2016 31 December 2015 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------ Profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company (GBP'000) 5,180 (2,882) Weighted average number of shares in issue (thousands) 62,293 62,293 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------ Basic profit/(loss) per share (pence per share) 8.32 (4.63) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------
The Company has no dilutive potential ordinary shares; the diluted earnings per share is the same as the basic earnings per share.
9 Inventories
Current assets

During the period, the Group capitalised costs of GBP902 (ZAR 16,119) (30 June 2016: GBP3,117 (ZAR 66,829)) in order to develop these assets for future re-sale, and accordingly they were classified as inventory.
At 30 June 2016 the net realisable values of all of the developments were lower than cost, therefore, their inventory values were impaired to a value of GBP3,187,027 (ZAR 62,727,698). Net realisable value was determined by the sale contract less estimated selling expenses.
10 Trade and other receivables 31 December 2016 30 June 2016 GBP'000 GBP'000 ---------------------------------------------------- ----------------- ------------- Prepayments 23 18 VAT receivable 4 20 Trade receivables - 15 Proceeds due from sale of subsidiaries (note 20) * 2,073 2,490 Other receivables - 9 ---------------------------------------------------- ----------------- ------------- Trade and other receivables 2,100 2,552 ---------------------------------------------------- ----------------- -------------
* the comparative balance relates to the sale of the Emberton development where one final amount of ZAR 9,000,000 (GBP0.48 million) was received in August 2016 and the sale of the African Renaissance development where one final amount of ZAR 40,000,000 (GBP2.38 million) was received in December 2016.
The fair value of trade and other receivables approximates their carrying value.

The holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company.
No distributions were paid during the period ended 31 December 2016 (31 December 2015: one distribution of 5 pence per Ordinary Share on 16 October 2015).
13 Reserves
The following describes the nature and purpose of each reserve within equity:
Reserve Description and purpose Foreign currency translation reserve Gains/losses arising on retranslating the net assets of overseas operations into the presentation currency. Retained earnings All other net gains and losses and transactions with owners (e.g.dividends) not recognised elsewhere 14 Net asset value ("NAV") per share 31 December 2016 30 June 2016 -------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- ------------- Net assets attributable to equity holders of the Company (GBP'000) 7,446 7,009 Shares in issue (in thousands) 62,293 62,293 -------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- ------------- NAV per share (GBP) 0.12 0.11 -------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- -------------
The NAV per share is calculated by dividing the net assets attributable to equity holders of the Group by the number of ordinary shares in issue.
The Group publishes an adjusted NAV that is calculated in accordance with the guidelines of the European Public Real Estate Association ("EPRA"). The primary difference between EPRA and IFRS is that, in general, under IFRS the Group's development properties are classified as inventory and held at cost while EPRA permits the incorporation of open market valuations. In order to produce the EPRA numbers the Group has retained Broll's Johannesburg office to conduct annual valuations, which are reviewed and adjusted by the directors for the interim accounts. The EPRA numbers incorporate the directors' valuation and are net of tax.
The below figures also take into consideration any profit share agreements with development partners, fees due on sale of properties (see note 5) and incentive fees due to the Executive Directors (see note 6).
EPRA NAV 31 December 2016 30 June 2016 -------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- ------------- Net assets attributable to equity holders of the Company (GBP'000) 7,297 6,869 Shares in issue (in thousands) 62,293 62,293 -------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- ------------- EPRA NAV per share (GBP) 0.12 0.11 -------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- ------------- 15 Non-controlling interests Subsidiary Country of Percentage of Profit/(loss) Accumulated NCI Dividends paid incorporation shares held allocated to NCI 31 December 2016 to NCI period period ended 31 ended 31 December 2016 December 2016 GBP'000 GBP'000 GBP'000 ------------------- ------------------- ------------------ ----------------- ------------------ ----------------- Madison Park Properties 40 (Pty) Limited South Africa 50% (5) - - ------------------- ------------------- ------------------ ----------------- ------------------ -----------------
The subsidiary received funding of ZAR 180,000 (GBP10,071) during the six months ended 31 December 2016 to meet its ongoing commitments and was sold during the period (see note 20).
16 Loans from third parties 31 December 2016 30 June 2016 GBP'000 GBP'000 ------------------------------------------- ----------------- ------------- Start of the period/year 1,280 1,319 Disposal via sale of subsidiary (note 20) (1,492) - Exchange differences 212 (39) ------------------------------------------- ----------------- ------------- End of the period/year - 1,280 ------------------------------------------- ----------------- -------------
