Oryx Properties Limited Trading Statement – FY15

In compliance with the Namibian Stock Exchange (‘NSX’) Listings Requirements, Oryx Properties Limited unitholders are advised that the total comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2015 will be substantially higher (greater than a 30%) and the net asset value (‘NAV’) per linked unit as at 30 June 2015 will be materially higher (between 10% and 30%) in relation to the comparative period. The positive fair value adjustment   to   the  investment   property   portfolio,   as  determined by an independent valuer, is the main reason for the increase in the total comprehensive income and net asset value per linked unit.

The interest distribution will remain unaffected as the changes in fair value of investment properties are unrealised gains, which are transferred to non-distributable reserves.

This trading statement has not been reviewed or reported on by Oryx’s external auditors. The release of the announcement of the reviewed results for the year ended 30 June 2015 is expected to be published on or about 24 August 2015.

Bidvest Namibia Trading Statement

Bidvest Namibia anticipates basic earnings per share (EPS) for the year ended June 30 2015 to be up between 17% and 19% on the previous corresponding period and headline earnings per share (HEPS) for the year ended June 30 2015 to be down between 10% and 12%.

The reason for the difference between the increase in EPS and the decline in HEPS is due to the capital profit realised on the sale of a fishing vessel. The decline in HEPS results primarily from the significantly lower horse mackerel quota allocation received by Namsov and its joint venture partners with the second quota allocation for the 2014 calendar year.

This trading statement has not been reviewed or reported on by Bidvest Namibia’s external auditors. The release of the announcement of the audited results for the year ended June 30 2015 is expected to be published on or about August 25 2015.
