sold and 61% of the capital cost recovered from the achieved sales. There remains strong demand for the stands in the project. The lack of mortgages has, however, slowed down uptake as most purchasers are cash buyers. Tynwald - Harare The Tynwald residential development project which I described in great detail in my last statement continues to perform well. By year-end, 59% of the project had been sold and 72% of the project costs recovered. The total value of the project is approximately US$3.7 million at current prices.

CHAIRMANS STATEMENT
Operating environment The economic environment remained challenging for all sectors of the economy. Access to reasonably-priced long-term debt finance remained difficult with most of the available lines of credit having too short repayment periods and prohibitively high interest rates for long-term property development projects. Inflation declined from 2.51% in January 2013 to close the year at 0.33%. The decline in annual inflation has been associated with subdued demand for goods and services, affecting pricing structures across all sectors of the economy. The liquidity constraints negatively affected rental revenue growth and collection, resulting in the continued rise in rental arrears and voids. Your company has therefore had to increase the provision for doubtful debtors to US$1.156 million from US$556,000 in 2012. Associated with the failure to pay for occupied space was a significant increase in portfolio voids due to tenant business failures. The void rate rose from 10.92% in December 2012 to 14% in December 2013. Despite this difficult operating environment, your company posted an operating profit of US$1.96 million for the year ended 31 December 2013. Investment property performance Rental income was US$3.87 million from US$3.81 million in 2012, a 2% growth. Rent reviews were limited with emphasis on collection that yielded a 2013 average collection rate of 92% against 93% in 2012. Your company continues to employ various strategies to ensure an acceptable portfolio performance. There was a noticeable increase in voluntary surrenders of leased space in light of the difficult economic environment. Efforts to manage the Companys portfolio mix with a view to diversify both the type and location of its properties are continuing. In line with this thrust, two hectares of prime land were purchased during the year for US$1.57 million for the future development of an office park. Financial performance Total revenue for the year increased to US$6.67 million compared to US$5.20 million in the prior year, a 28% growth. This performance was despite an environment that saw economic contraction and significant scaling down of operations by many entities. Rental income contributed 56% to total income. Projects income for the year amounted to US$2.76 million, up from US$1.31 million in 2012, a 110% growth. Clearly, projects execution has to-date been your companys distinct competitive advantage in line with the strategic thrust adopted after the introduction of the multicurrency system. Total administration costs went up by 11% during the year under review compared to the same period last year, demonstrating rigorous cost management measures that were put in place. Other operating expenses, which include the cost of stands sold, went up by 113% as more stands were sold in 2013 compared to the previous year. As a result, your company recorded an operating profit of US$1.96 million. Projects update Zimre Park Masvingo Residential stands in the project continue to sell, though at a slower pace. The development has established itself as the prime residential destination in Masvingo with an exceptional standard of houses being constructed. To date, 172 of the 388 stands have been sold with revenue of US$3.8 million having been generated. Based on land area, 46% of the project has been

All major servicing and installation of infrastructure have been completed. The Compliance Certificate for the greater part of the project has been issued by Harare City Council and several houses are at various stages of construction. Title deeds to the stands shall be issued as soon as the full Compliance Certificate is received. Dividend The Board has recommended a final dividend of US$0.024 (2012: US$0.023) cents per share payable on or about 7 May 2014 to shareholders registered in the books of the Company as at 25 April 2014. The transfer books and register of members will be closed from 26 April to 28 April 2014, all days inclusive. Outlook The economic environment remains extremely challenging. Property rentals are likely to remain subdued and continued focus on projects will enhance the performance of your company. Appreciation I wish to thank all shareholders, stakeholders, management and staff for the support and hard work during the period under review and lastly my fellow Board members for their support and wise counsel.
