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).

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.

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).
