Interim Results for the six months ended 31 Dec 11

VinaLand Limited

 

Interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2011

 

VinaLand Limited ("the Company" or "VNL"), the AIM-quoted investment vehicle established to target strategic segments within Vietnam's emerging real estate market, today announces its interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2011 ("the Period").

 

Financial highlights

 

·; Net loss for the Period attributable to the Group's shareholders of USD81.8 million (HY10: USD4.4 million net loss) largely reflecting the necessary adjustment in asset values arising from the deterioration in market conditions.

·; Net loss per share of USD0.16 for the Period (HY10: USD0.01 net loss).

·; Net asset value at 31 December 2011 of USD585 million representing USD1.18 per share.

 

Operational highlights

 

·; The Company commenced a share buyback programme in the fourth quarter of 2011 as part of its efforts to narrow its discount to NAV, with 2.6 million shares being purchased and cancelled in this period.

·; During the fourth quarter, project revaluations with a valuation date of 31 December 2011 were undertaken which resulted in an 11.1% realized decrease in NAV. Adjustments resulted from an ongoing deterioration of the macroeconomic and property markets, high interest rates of over 20% and a highly illiquid property market.

 

Commenting, David Henry, Managing Director of VNL's Investment Manager, said:

"Business activity and investor sentiment in the property sector have continued to be adversely affected by extreme illiquidity in the property market resulting from record interest rates and high inflation. This slowdown in transactions has in turn begun to impact upon revaluations of land and development projects. We do believe however that real estate activity should start to improve by the end of 2012 as it begins to feel the impact of improving conditions in the wider economy, and we retain our belief that the fund can offer value and growth in the long-term."

Chairman's Statement

 

Dear Shareholders,

 

We are pleased to present the interim financial statements of VinaLand Limited (AIM: VNL) for the six month period ended 31 December 2011.

 

The Vietnamese real estate market challenges were persistent throughout the second half of 2011, with systemic macroeconomic problems, high inflation and interest rates, and a highly illiquid property market. During the period, VNL had several divestment negotiations stall or cease all together as a result. Many Vietnam investors and developers, who have historically been purchasers of VNL projects, simply stopped playing an active role in the market. The slowdown in demand coupled with oversupply weighed heavily on all sectors of real estate although residential villa sales were less impacted. Office and retail rental prices softened during the second half of 2011, while some residential developers offered substantially discounted prices. However, the hospitality sector performed relatively well due to the high season and increased visitor numbers.

VNL's NAV at the end of December 2011 was USD585 million, or USD1.18 per share, 16 percent below the NAV at the end of June 2011 of USD672 million, or USD1.34 per share. VNL's share price at the end of December 2011 was USD0.68, compared to USD0.78 at the end of June 2011.

 

During the fourth quarter, project revaluations were undertaken which resulted in a reduction of 11.1 percent to fund NAV. External third party appraisals were obtained on nine projects. Additionally, the Valuation Committee conducted a review of the remaining VNL portfolio, which resulted in a downward adjustment on fifteen assets, including the fund's hospitality holdings.

 

Over the period, VNL residential projects continued to see a difficult environment for sales. In total, residential sales contracts of USD25.6 million were signed during the second half of 2011, slightly up from USD22.5 million during the same period the previous year.

 

On a positive note, Government monetary policy is beginning to make headway, leading to a stable currency and a lowering of both interest and inflation rates. However, interest rates are still high and very disruptive to the overall economy in Vietnam and this, together with government imposed restrictions on the amount that banks can lend to the real estate sector, continues to put pressure on the real estate market. It is anticipated that the interest rate situation will improve through 2012 and, as a result, we believe that real estate activity should improve by the end of the year.

 

VNL remains committed to the fund's divestment and share buyback programme, which was started during the fourth quarter of 2011. Nearly 2.6 million shares were purchased and cancelled during the period. Closing this discount remains a top priority as the Board continues to believe the fund offers value and the potential for long term growth.

 

Thank you for your continued support.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. General Information

 

VinaLand Limited ("the Company") is a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The registered office of the Company is PO Box 309GT, Ugland House, South Church Street, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. The Company's primary objective is to focus on key growth segments within Vietnam's emerging real estate market, namely residential, office, retail, industrial and leisure projects in Vietnam and the surrounding countries in Asia. The Company is listed on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol VNL.

 

The Company does not have a fixed life but the Board considers it desirable that Shareholders should have the opportunity to review the future of the Company at appropriate intervals. Accordingly, the Board will convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company in 2013 where a special resolution will be proposed that the Company continue as presently constituted. If the resolution is passed, the Board intends that a similar resolution will be proposed at an extraordinary general meeting to be convened each third subsequent year thereafter. If the resolution is not passed, the Directors will be required to formulate proposals to be put to Shareholders to reorganise, unitise or reconstruct the Company or for the Company to be wound up.

 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2011 were approved for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on 27 March 2012.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been reviewed, not audited.

 

2. Basis of Preparation

 

The Company and its subsidiaries herein are referred to as the Group.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are for the six months ended 31 December 2011. They have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). They do not include all of the information required in the annual consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2011.

 

3. Accounting Policies

 

These condensed interim financial statements (the "interim financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation adopted in the last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011.

 

The AIM Rules for Companies require comparative figures for the balance sheet for the corresponding period end in the preceding financial year which differs to IAS 34 which requires comparative figures for the balance sheet for the immediately preceding financial year end. The Group continues to elect to report in accordance with IAS 34 and as such has agreed with the London Stock Exchange derogation from the above requirement of the AIM Rules for Companies in order to comply with IAS 34.

 

During the period, the Company had executed a share buy-back programme. Accordingly, the following new accounting policy in respect of repurchase of shares has been adopted. Shares which are purchased by the Company are treated as cancelled and whilst the amount of the authorised share capital is not affected, the issued share capital is reduced.

 

If the cost of repurchase of shares is less than the net asset value of the shares, the difference is transferred to the Company's equity reserve.

If the cost of repurchase of shares is greater than the net asset value of the shares, i) the amount of any equity reserve, additional paid-in capital account or fully paid share capital of the Company, and ii) any amount representing unrealised profits of the Company for the time being standing to the credit of any revaluation reserve maintained by the Company may be reduced by a sum not exceeding the amount by which the repurchase payment exceeds the net asset value of the shares.

 

4. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

 

When preparing the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and may not equal the estimated results.

 

Information about significant judgements, estimates and assumptions that have the most effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses were the same as those that applied to the last annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011.

 

5. Segment Analysis

 

In identifying its operating segments, management generally follows the Group's sectors of investment which are based on internal management reporting information for the Investment Manager's management, monitoring of investments and decision making. The operating segments by investment portfolio include Commercial, Residential, Office buildings and undetermined use, Hospitality, Mixed-use segments and Cash and short-term investments.

 

The activities undertaken by the Commercial segment include the development and operation of investment properties. Apartments and villas properties which are developed for sales, land, office buildings and properties held for undetermined future use are included in Residential, office building and undetermined use properties segment. The Hospitality segment includes the development and operation of hotels and related services. Strategic decisions are made on the basis of segment operating results.

 

The operating segments are managed and monitored separately by the Investment Manager as each requires different resources and approaches. The Investment Manager assesses segment profit or loss using a measure of operating profit or loss from the investment assets. Although IFRS 8 requires measurement of segmental profit or loss, the majority of expenses are common to all segments and therefore cannot be individually allocated. There have been no changes from prior periods in the measurement methods used to determine reported segment profit or loss.

 

There is no measure of segment liabilities regularly reported to the Investment Manager, therefore liabilities are not disclosed in the sector analyses.

 

Segment information can be analysed as follows for the reporting periods under review:

24. Income Tax

 

VinaLand Limited is domiciled in the Cayman Islands. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, there are no income, corporation, capital gains or other taxes payable by the Company.

 

The majority of the Group's subsidiaries are domiciled in the British Virgin Islands ("BVI") and so have a tax exempt status. A number of subsidiaries are established in Vietnam and are subject to corporate income tax in Vietnam. A provision of USD0.6 million has been made for corporate income tax payable by these subsidiaries for the period (period from 1 July 2010 to 31 December 2010: USD0.1 million).

 

The relationship between the expected tax expense based on the applicable tax rate of 0% and the tax expense actually recognised in the condensed interim consolidated statement of income can be reconciled as follows:

As at 31 December 2011, the Group was also committed under construction agreements to pay USD47.9 million (30 June 2011: USD32.6 million) for future construction work of the Group's properties held by subsidiaries.

Further investment in many of these arrangements is at the Group's discretion. The Investment Manager has estimated that, based on the agreements signed and the development plan for each project, approximately USD48.1 million will be used to fund these commitments over the next three years.

29. Financial Risk Management

 

(a) Financial risk factors

 

The Group invests in a diversified property portfolio in Vietnam with the objective to provide shareholders a potential capital growth.

 

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk, currency risk and interest rate risk); credit risk; and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The Group's risk management is coordinated by its Investment Manager who manages the distribution of the assets to achieve the investment objectives.

 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2011. There have been no changes in the risk management department of the Investment Manager and risk management policies since the most recent year end.

 

(b) Fair value estimation

 

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value by valuation method. The difference levels have been defined as follows:

 

·; Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1);

·; Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2); and

·; Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

 

The following table presents the Group's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at 31 December 2011:
