Basis of Preparation and

Accounting Policies

The abridged financial information is prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and in the manner required by the Companies Act 2003 (No. 32 of 2004) of Botswana, except the investment property fair value adjustments are only accounted at the year end.

The financial information is presented in Botswana Pula, Which is considered the functional currency.

The Company has not provided for any taxation at this stage, because the company's tax liability is managed with the tax management opportunities available from VRLS legislation.

Prospects

  • Four new projects with better rental yield will be in the Portfolio, before the end of the current financial year.
  • Better prospects to add and develop more properties with the existing land bank.
  • Continued focus on better and stable yield through diversification of current portfolio.
