INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2018
"WE HAVE CREATED A STRONG PLATFORM FOR SUSTAINABLE GROWTH"
Chop House at New Waverley, Edinburgh, United Kingdom





CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
I am very pleased with the group's progress during the past year. Financial performance remains strong and the group's investment property portfolio continues to grow.
Some notable acquisitions demonstrate the ability of the group to find and secure high quality assets at attractive yields. The acquisition of the A-grade office building in the heart of the Edinburgh financial district, Uberior House, tenanted by the Bank of Scotland, is such an example. Edinburgh is experiencing an undersupply of A-grade offices and the asset presents a compelling asset management opportunity.
Post year end the group also concluded the €95 million acquisition of the Militari shopping centre in Bucharest, Romania, the group's largest acquisition to date. These two large investments are indicative of the geographic diversification within the group's property portfolio, with a healthy balance between western, central and eastern European markets and with the group's retail focus counterbalanced by attractive assets in other real estate sub sectors.
The group's expansion into central and eastern Europe, through investment and development joint ventures with Prime Kapital, is also progressing well. The investment case for the region remains compelling, with purchasing power continuing to grow rapidly. PKM Developments has a strong pipeline of developments. During the period 21,000 square metres of retail space has been completed and a further 634,000 square metres is in the pipeline for development.
DIVIDEND
Growth from acquisitions, investments and asset management activities drove increased income generation and, in turn, distributions to shareholders. The board has proposed a dividend of 4.03 euro cents per share in relation to the second half of the year. This brings the total distribution to 7.61 euro cents per share for the year, which meets the group's 30% distribution growth target for the period.
STRATEGY AND GOVERNANCE
The board monitors the group's strategy, which is to generate sustainable and growing distributable earnings per share by acquiring, developing and operating retail, office and other real estate assets in western Europe and in central and eastern Europe. The board has set strategic objectives and oversees and monitors the implementation of the group's strategy.
The board, through the Terms of Reference given to the Audit and Risk Committee, shapes the risk appetite of the group, establishing the parameters within which potential investment opportunities are appraised and ensuring that acquisitions, as well as development projects, generate sustainable long-term income growth and investor returns.
High standards of corporate governance are applied throughout the group and the group has increased the resources dedicated to this area during the year. The group has also implemented the principles of the King IV code and a report regarding the implementation is available on the group's website www.masrei.com.
APPRECIATION
I would like to express my thanks to all the team members and the group's key partners for their hard work in delivering a strong set of results. I believe that we have created a strong platform for sustainable growth into the future. In particular, I would like to thank Morné Wilken for the progress he has made in leading the organisation. Following the announcement that he will be leaving us at the end of the year, I wish him and his family well with their move back to South Africa and in their future endeavours. As a board, we are confident in the strength and depth of the executive team, that is well equipped to continue to drive the set strategy of delivering quality and growing distributions on a sustainable basis over time, whilst we go through the process of appointing a new CEO.
PROSPECTS
The outlook for the coming year is positive, as the group continues to pursue profitable growth through exploiting further acquisition and development opportunities, as well as optimising the balance sheet. I would like to thank you for your confidence as stakeholders.

COMPANY PROFILE
PROPERTY INVESTOR, DEVELOPER AND OPERATOR
MAS is a commercial property investor, developer and operator listed on the main board of the JSE and listed and admitted for trading on the Euro-MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
MAS' strategy is to generate sustainable and growing distributable earnings per share by acquiring, developing and operating properties with a retail focus in western, central and eastern Europe. Where exceptional opportunities are identified, the group will embark on mixed-use or residential developments with the view to either generate recurring income or capital gains. The group aims to distribute all of its distributable earnings on a semi-annual basis, with distribution of capital and other profits at the discretion of the board.
MANAGEMENT
MAS is internally managed, combining investment, development and asset management skills. Developments are undertaken by teaming up with strong developers that have an intimate knowledge of the local markets and by agreeing terms that lead to a strong alignment of interests.
FUNDING
MAS is targeting an aggregate portfolio LTV of 40%. This may fluctuate up to a maximum of 50% on a temporary basis as the portfolio grows. Long-term debt funding is preferred and interest rates are managed through the group's hedging strategy. Developments are currently funded through equity and refinanced on completion.
LONG-TERM INCOME FROM STRONG COVENANTS
MAS has assembled a high-quality portfolio of commercial property and developments across Europe with investment into CEE via two joint ventures with Prime Kapital, a development joint venture and a co-investment joint venture focused on income-generating assets. At 30 June 2018, the portfolio had an outstanding weighted average lease term of 10 years, occupied by tenants with strong corporate covenants.
OUTLOOK
Asset prices in western Europe have increased in recent years and acquisition opportunities that offer an attractive return on equity are harder to find. MAS' focus in western Europe is now on opportunities that can deliver substantial value through active asset management, re-development and development.
Although CEE markets have increased in price, attractive opportunities are still available and are backed by a combination of relatively high initial acquisition yields, substantial growth prospects and attractive debt terms. Even more appealing is the development market, which is supported by rapidly expanding purchasing power and, in some cases, sub-optimally designed or undersized assets ripe for re-development or displacement.
Accordingly, MAS has embarked upon expansion into the growing economies of CEE. To facilitate the expansion, MAS has partnered with Prime Kapital, a management team with exceptional development, investment and financing experience in these markets over the last decade.

DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS
The group achieved 29.6% growth in distributable earnings per share for the year, to 6.35 euro cents compared with 4.90 euro cents for 2017. This significant improvement in distributable earnings per share was driven by the strong performance and accretive acquisitions of investment property, completion of assets in the development pipeline, investment in PKM Developments and distributions received from the investment in the REIT portfolio.
FINAL DISTRIBUTION
As a result of the increase in distributable earnings and strong pipeline of investments and developments, the board has proposed a final distribution of 4.03 euro cents per share for the second half of the 2018 financial year, which includes 0.38 euro cents per share from reserves. No scrip alternative was offered to shareholders on the final distribution. This brings the cumulative annual distribution to 7.61 euro cents per share for 2018, an increase of 30% over last year's distribution of 5.85 euro cents per share.
The outlook for 2019 is discussed under Prospects below.
CASH MANAGEMENT AND DEBT
A strategic priority has been to mitigate the group's future funding obligations towards PKM Developments. Accordingly, during the year, the group took advantage of the opportunity to raise adequate equity to fully meet its commitments to PKM Developments and to finance suitable acquisition opportunities.
To manage its funding ahead of fulfilling its commitments to PKM Developments, the group invested €200 million in a portfolio of liquid European REITs, that focus predominantly on retail. This strategy achieves many objectives for the group as it:
- generates a return on funds earmarked for PKM Developments before drawdown, since euro interest rates on cash are negative;
- efficiently matches the asset/liability profile of the group;
- provides a collateral pool for debt facilities at extremely low margins, thereby facilitating substantial flexibility in acquiring investments; and
- provides exposure to high quality businesses with similar risk profiles to those of the group.
This strategy exposes the portfolio to some capital volatility. At year-end the REIT portfolio has declined in value to €183.1 million, in line with the performance of retail-focused stocks in western Europe that have come under pressure in the first half of 2018. Dividend income of €8.4 million has been earned on this portfolio since acquisition.
At year-end, the group held €147.8 million in cash (2017: €33.0 million), excluding the cash held in PKM Developments. In addition, the group had €242.7 million of third-party debt finance at 30 June 2018 (2017: €147.2 million), resulting in a group loan to value of 10.0% (2017: 16.5%), with a weighted average cost of debt of 2.69% of which 82% is fixed/hedged.
After year-end, the group completed the acquisition of the Militari Shopping Centre and the Braunschweig properties as discussed below.
ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
INCOME-GENERATING PORTFOLIO
The portfolio performed strongly during the reporting period, with net operating income growing by 89.6% year on year from €20.2 million to €38.3 million. The EPRA net asset value per share increased by 7.1% to 134.9 euro cents per share (IFRS NAV 2018: 134.0) from 125.9 euro cents per share at the previous year-end (IFRS NAV 2017: 124.5), driven by the impact of the capital raises undertaken during the year.
Work is in progress on reconfiguring and adding about 18,000 square metres to the aggregate GLA of the CEE retail assets. This will increase the fashion and leisure offering of the centres to consolidate their regionally dominant position and enhance the performance of the portfolio.
Management's key focus is to deploy the capital on the balance sheet. Although opportunities are available, strong investment discipline is needed when assessing assets at current prices, given the competitive environment and liquidity in the market. The group is focused on not overpaying for assets in
MAS REAL ESTATE INC INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2018
a heated market and assesses capital deployment carefully to ensure that the longer term strategy is not compromised by shorter term goals. Notwithstanding this, the group has successfully acquired the following:
UBERIOR HOUSE, EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND (ACQUISITION COMPLETED MAY 2018)
Uberior House was bought for £71 million (€80.1 million). The property consists of grade A offices, prominently positioned in the heart of Edinburgh's Exchange financial district.
The property has an aggregate GLA of 14,700 square metres, leased to Bank of Scotland on several leases that expire in 2025, at a current passing rent of £4.15 million a year (about €4.68 million). This will be topped up by the vendor to £4.20 million a year (about €4.74 million) to reflect the anticipated settlement of outstanding rent reviews. The annual net operating income of the property is £4.10 million (about €4.63 million). Bank of Scotland is a subsidiary of the Lloyds Banking Group PLC, a FTSE 100-listed financial institution.
The acquisition represents a unique opportunity to grow the rental income of the property from current levels through active asset management. Edinburgh has a structural undersupply of grade A office space, compounded by growing demand and declining supply dynamics. The current lease has a rent review in 2020 which will make it possible to negotiate a market-related payment, creating upside for MAS. This, together with the age of the lease, presents the opportunity to re-gear what is an under-rented property at a higher rent-roll. The acquisition also enables MAS to leverage its significant experience in the Edinburgh property market, after delivering the award-winning New Waverley mixed-use development of hotels, retail, residential and a 19,000 square metre office building.
MILITARI SHOPPING CENTRE, BUCHAREST, ROMANIA (ACQUISITION COMPLETED JULY 2018)
The Militari Shopping Centre was acquired in conjunction with Prime Kapital, in which MAS has an 80% direct participation, for a purchase price of €95.0 million. Militari is located in the west of Bucharest, the capital of Romania, and draws footfall from an aggregate catchment of approximately 365,000 people within a 15-minute drive. The centre benefits from ongoing extensive residential densification in its immediate surroundings. Residential schemes currently under construction will add about another 4,000 apartments in the vicinity and are expected to keep the strong growth in footfall in the near term.
Militari has 57 tenants spread across about 56,400 square metres of GLA, of which 53,700 square metres is retail and 2,700 square metres is offices, in addition to 2,500 parking spaces. The annual net operating income of Militari is €7.1 million at a weighted average rental of €10.6 per square metre per month. The centre is anchored by Auchan (hypermarket), Praktiker (DIY), Decathlon (sports goods) as well as various international fashion brands such as H&M, C&A, Reserved, New Yorker, LC Wakiiki, Pepco, Deichmann, Hervis, Humanic, Koton and Takko. The current retail tenant mix has a weighted average lease term to first break option of 6.5 years and the property is fully occupied. Fashion and lifestyle tenants contribute 43% of passing rent while food and grocery tenants contribute 29%.
The asset provides stable underlying income with good prospects for future growth. This will come from optimisation at lease expiry and an extension of the lettable area to match growing footfall, driving the direct investment return. Significant redevelopment opportunities are expected to be available in the medium and long term.
BRAUNSCHWEIG, GERMANY (ACQUISITION COMPLETED AUGUST 2018)
A retail park and convenience centre in Braunschweig, Germany, were acquired for €25.0 million.
The retail park, known as "Gewerbehof Celler Str.", is located in the northern part of the city of Braunschweig, on one of the main arterial roads leading from the inner city to the Autobahn. Braunschweig, with 250,000 inhabitants, is the second-largest city in Lower Saxony. Its population is expected to grow by about 5% by 2030.
The retail park has a GLA of about 16,400 square metres, 540 parking spaces and a current rental income of €1.5 million a year. The centre has 22 tenants and is focused on large-scale retail schemes such as food discounters (Aldi & Lidl, HolAbl), furniture, textile and interior shops (Tedox, Christiansen, Dänisches Bettenlager), complemented by specialist shops such as Fressnapf (pet shop) and Staples (office equipment). In addition, the retail park contains a development plot with 4,600 square metres of retail potential. The current WALT is 6 years.
The convenience centre, known as "Welfenplatz", is located in southern Braunschweig and is anchored by an Edeka supermarket with a long-term lease until 2030. The asset has a GLA of 2,500 square metres and current rental income of €163,000 a year.
Both assets are well established and provide strong prospects for future growth, supporting the group's drive for direct investment returns delivering a return on equity of more than 8%. In the short to medium term, extending the retail park will further increase direct investment returns.
DEVELOPMENTS AND LAND BANK
NEW WAYERLEY, EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND
The New Waverley development is nearing completion. As previously announced, the office component, pre-let to the UK government on a 25-year lease, was forward-sold under a funding agreement to Legal and General for about €23.5 million. Further development profits will be paid when construction is complete. The UK government has expressed interest in exercising its option over the adjacent residential development site. It will make a decision in the first half of the 2019 calendar year.
The last remaining undeveloped component of New Waverley is the residential element. Offers to acquire both the northern and southern parts of the site have been received and accepted, subject to due diligence and the finalisation of the government's option over the northern part of the site.
LANGLEY PARK, CHIPPENHAM, ENGLAND
The development site with residential planning consent at Langley Park in Chippenham, UK, is in the last stages of disposal. Final offers from home builders are being considered. The construction of the hotel, pre-let to
MAS REAL ESTATE INC INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2018

DIRECTORS' REPORT
Travelodge, is well advanced and the sale of the supermarket land site to Aldi has been finalised. This will complete the acquisition business plan for this property. Steady income is being generated from tenants, including Siemens, on the adjacent retained Technology Park, where further extensions are under consideration.
NORTH STREET QUARTER, LEWES, ENGLAND
Progress continues to be made on the complex and large scale North Street Quarter regeneration development project in Lewes. The majority of pre-commencement building permit conditions have now been cleared and the Land Collaboration Agreement with the joint landowner, Lewes District Council is close to being finalised. Due to the complexity of the project and the need to work with a number of stakeholders, including the local government as joint landowners, the scheme has taken longer to progress than originally budgeted. Although there remains a structural shortfall, the residential market in the UK seems to be less dynamic at present than in previous periods, but initial discussions with developers indicate that there is demand for the planned development, given the site's unique character and location within a National Park. Discussions are ongoing with the aim to appoint a specialist developer by the end of the 2018 calendar year.
PKM DEVELOPMENTS
PKM Developments has made good progress on its development pipeline, completing its first six convenience value extensions of Kaufland mini-hypermarkets with an aggregate GLA of about 21,000 square metres on time and within budget. Construction has started on two value centres and a convenience value extension with an aggregate GLA of about 48,000 square metres, which will be completed by the end of the 2018 calendar year. In addition, the secured development pipeline in CEE has expanded significantly to approximately €755 million and consists of the projects discussed below.
MALL MOLDOVA
Permitting is under way for the planned redevelopment of Era Shopping Park, Iasi, into the super-regional Mall Moldova with 100,000 square metres GLA. Mall Moldova will be the largest retail and leisure development in Romania outside Bucharest. With design work substantially completed, pre-construction leasing work in respect of the extension has commenced and is progressing well, as has been anticipated.
ARGES MALL
Permitting for the planned regionally dominant mall with 50,000 square metres GLA and for the accompanying public infrastructure in a central, high-density location in Pitesti, Romania is making good progress. Tenant interest in the planned retail consolidation for the Pitesti and wider Arges region is strong and pre-construction leasing work is progressing well.
DAMBOVITA MALL
Permitting is under way for the regionally dominant mall with 31,000 square metres GLA in Targoviste, Romania. Despite the lease process not having commenced, several major anchor tenants have expressed strong interest in the development. It will be the first mall in the Dambovita county and forms part of a wider urban regeneration project undertaken by the local authorities within 2km of the city centre, in a densely populated residential area.
PLOIESTI VALUE CENTRE
Permitting is underway for the retail value centre with 25,600 square metres GLA and a high concentration of anchor tenants. The centre is located in a densely populated residential area in close proximity to the city's main train, tram and bus stations, with high visibility and good road access. Despite the lease process not yet having commenced, several major anchor tenants have expressed strong interest in the development.
DNI VALUE CENTRE
Pre-construction leasing is progressing well for the convenience value extension of 28,000 square metres GLA to the existing Hornbach and Lidl units in Balotesti, a rapidly-developing, affluent residential area about 25km north of Bucharest. The first phase of development is expected to open by the end of the 2019 calendar year.
BAIA MARE VALUE CENTRE
Construction of about 22,000 square metres GLA is advancing and the centre is on schedule to open for trade in December 2018.
ROMAN VALUE CENTRE
Construction of 19,000 square metres GLA is progressing and the centre is on schedule to open for trade in November 2018.
KAUFLAND VALUE CENTRE EXTENSIONS (31,000 SQUARE METRES AGGREGATE GLA)
During the course of the 2018 financial year the first six convenience value extensions of existing Kaufland mini-hypermarkets have been completed on time and within budget. The first phase (7,000 square metres GLA) of a further development is expected to complete by the end of the 2018 calendar year.
ZALAU VALUE CENTRE
About five hectares of land have been secured in Zalau with plans to develop and operate a retail value centre of 18,000 square metres GLA with a high concentration of anchor tenants. Zalau, with 56,000 inhabitants, is the capital of Salaj county, an important manufacturing centre in the north west of Romania. The project is highly visible. It is in the immediate vicinity of a dense residential area and the city's regional bus terminal, on the main road connecting Zalau with the other major cities in the county and wider Transylvania area. The catchment includes about 166,000 inhabitants within a 45-minute drive. Anchor tenants have expressed strong interest in the planned development and permitting is ongoing. The centre is expected to open for trade by the end of the 2019 calendar year.
AVALON ESTATE
Permitting is ongoing on the upmarket, modern housing estate near the developing central business district and commercial centre in the affluent northern part of Bucharest.

the first units of the planned 767 high quality houses, townhouses and apartments will be available for occupation in the second quarter of the 2020 calendar year.
MARPURA APARTMENTS
Since the date of the last report, substantial additional design work has been done on the large-scale residential block development planned for the 1.5-hectare site in the expanding north west area of Bucharest. The number of individual units has been increased from 380 to 460. Permitting is in progress and the pre-construction sales process is expected to start by the end of the 2018 calendar year. The first units will be available for occupation by the third quarter of the 2020 calendar year.
TEBA IASI
About 10 hectares of land have been secured in lasi with plans to develop a large-scale, mixed-use project that will include up to 100,000 square metres of A-grade offices, over 2,500 residential units and a hotel. lasi, with a population of 369,000 inhabitants, is the second-largest city in Romania, the most important industrial centre in the north east and the second-largest university centre outside Bucharest, with over 53,000 students. The project is close to the city centre and within walking distance of the two largest university campuses in lasi. This site is highly visible, with 450 metres of frontage on a main boulevard connecting the site to the city centre, and easily accessible by car and public transport since three public transport hubs (bus and tram) are in the immediate vicinity. Due diligence and project planning work is currently in progress. Major office tenants and hotel operators have expressed strong interest in the planned development.
PROSPECTS
MAS continues to benefit from a strong balance sheet with sufficient capital to meet its obligations, as well as a healthy development and acquisition pipeline. The group has access to a development partner with demonstrated competitive advantages in identifying and executing exceptional opportunities.
The board is cognisant of heated property markets fuelled by liquidity and owners and developers eager to dispose of over-rented properties at prices that are high by historical standards. As a result, the board is determined to retain strong investment discipline and pursue only quality developments and acquisitions with value-adding potential and strong long-term growth prospects. It has previously been stated and remains the view of the board, that longer-term prospects will not be sacrificed to meet shorter term distribution growth targets and the implementation of transactions is not being rushed.
The board is committed to distributing quality earnings to shareholders on a sustainable basis and does not intend to subsidise the 2019 distribution from reserves, but to fund it from distributable earnings. Accordingly, the directors consider that a distribution growth target of 15% for the 2019 financial year is appropriate. This target is based on the acquisition and development pipeline in place and further opportunities being pursued. It also assumes that a stable macro-economic environment will prevail, no major corporate failures will occur, the investments and developments reported on above will progress as expected and budgeted rental income based on contractual escalations as well as market-related renewals will be collected. This target has not been reviewed or audited by the group's auditors.
Capital management is an important area of value creation for shareholders. The board will consider buying back shares as and when it can create value for shareholders, if the trading price is below the intrinsic NAV per share of the business and there remains opportunities to grow shareholder value by investing and developing at rates in excess of the cost of capital. Such buybacks will be done with care, since capital is a scarce and valuable resource.
MAS will continue to pursue profitable growth through exploiting further acquisition and development opportunities in its markets, as well as by optimising its balance sheet. Further announcements will be made as appropriate.

STRATEGY AND VALUE CREATION
MARKETS AND FOCUS

The group invests in income-generating and development property assets across European markets. Areas of specific focus are as follows:
WESTERN EUROPE
The group invests in income-generating property in western Europe with a focus on Germany and the United Kingdom. These markets are considered attractive to MAS for the following reasons:
- In-house local knowledge and expertise;
- Established investment and operational platforms, with people on the ground with extensive local knowledge;
- A strong network of relationships has been forged across the value chain, enhancing the group's ability to access off market acquisition opportunities and implement value adding initiatives;
- High levels of real estate market liquidity in comparison to other regions, giving the group flexibility and optionality to crystallise value and recycle capital;
- Primary focus in Germany is on retail, due to the scale, liquidity and attractive pricing of the sector compared with other sectors; and
- Other investment segments considered on a case by case basis to identify opportunities where we can add significant value.
The group also focuses on extensions, developments and refurbishments. The emphasis of this is to grow the income generated, or to develop property at yields that are superior to acquiring completed standing assets.
CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE
The group invests in income producing property in central and eastern Europe for the following reasons:
- In comparison to western Europe, growth expectations are higher in the CEE markets. This is driven by the growth in consumer and household spending off a low base, particularly in the retail space which is under-supplied;
- Access to partners in CEE with extensive knowledge and experience of the local markets, and with strong operational platform.
- Primary focus is on retail, with an emphasis on dominant regional shopping malls and value centres; and
- Impact of e-commerce expected to be muted in the near term due to low density of retail provision and due to logistical and infrastructure challenges with efficient and secure e-commerce delivery/fulfilment.
In addition, the group has a development joint venture with Prime Kapital called PKM Developments. The group owns 40% of the equity in the venture and has committed to fund up to €350 million via preference share capital. The venture leverages Prime Kapital's extensive experience and capability to develop retail property in the growing markets of CEE, with a focus in Romania. PKM Developments also has a significant pipeline of residential developments in CEE.

STRATEGY AND STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
TRADE-OFFS
LONGER TERM PROSPECTS VS. SHORT TERM DISTRIBUTION GROWTH TARGETS
Investment property is a long term investment and the biggest trade-off is to ensure that the longer term prospects will not be sacrificed to meet shorter term distribution growth targets.
| LONG TERM OBJECTIVE | STEPS TAKEN TO MEET THE LONG TERM OBJECTIVE | SHORT TERM RISK | HOW DO WE MITIGATE THIS RISK? |
|---|---|---|---|
| - Profitable growth through further acquisition and development opportunities | - Acquisition of value adding properties and developments | ||
| - Recycling mature assets | - Heated markets resulting in acquisition of properties that are priced too high by historical standards | ||
| - Over rented | - Strong investment discipline, acquisitions are not rushed to ensure there is value-adding potential and strong long-term growth potential | ||
| - Bottom up approach to lease negotiations |
CASH MANAGEMENT
The group has future commitments to PKM Developments. To manage the funding ahead of its commitments to PKM Developments, the group took advantage of the opportunity to raise adequate equity to meet these commitments.
| LONG TERM OBJECTIVE | STEPS TAKEN TO MEET THE LONG TERM OBJECTIVE | SHORT TERM RISK | HOW DO WE MITIGATE THESE RISKS? |
|---|---|---|---|
| - Manage funding to ensure sufficient cash to fulfil commitment to PKM Developments | - Took advantage of the opportunity to raise adequate equity to meet these commitments. | - Liquidity management | |
| - Negative interest rates | - Invested in REIT portfolio with exposure to high quality businesses with similar risk profiles to the group | ||
| - Return on funds | |||
| - Collateral pool of debt facilities at low margins |
STAFF RETENTION AND PRODUCTIVITY VS SHORT TERM PROFITABILITY
Corporate expenses are constantly increasing due to macroeconomic factors, it can add pressure to cut spending on additional resources and employee training leading to reduction in staff productivity, motivation and retention in the longer term, to get a short term increase in distribution targets.
| LONG TERM OBJECTIVE | STEPS TAKEN TO MEET THE LONG TERM OBJECTIVE | SHORT TERM RISK | HOW DO WE MITIGATE THESE RISKS? |
|---|---|---|---|
| - To retain and motivate staff to ensure a strong team with extensive knowledge and experience | - Remuneration policy which attracts, motivates and retains the best talent available | ||
| - Recruit additional asset management resource | - An increase in resources and employee training can increase costs, reduce profitability and mean that short term distribution targets aren't met. | - Continue to review and manage spending on resourcing and staff to ensure the team is fully resourced and motivated |

The group acquired the Militari Shopping Centre in July 2018 in conjunction with Prime Kapital.
The Militari shopping centre is located west of Bucharest's city centre and has benefitted from extensive residential densification in its immediate surroundings since its opening in 2009. The mall has 57 tenants spread across 56,400 square metres including Auchan (hypermarket), Praktiker (DIY), Decathlon (sports goods) and various international fashion brands.
The asset provides stable underlying income with good prospects for future growth. This will come from optimisation at lease expiry and an extension of the lettable area to match growing footfall, driving the direct investment return. Significant redevelopment and extension opportunities are expected to be available in the medium and long term.

MALLS

MALL MOLDOVA
Permitting is under way for the planned redevelopment of Era Shopping Park, Iasi, into the super regional Mall Moldova with 100,000 square metres GLA. Mall Moldova will be the largest retail and leisure development in Romania outside of Bucharest. With design work substantially completed, pre-construction leasing work in respect of the extension has commenced and is progressing well, as has been anticipated.
ARGES MALL
Permitting for the planned regionally dominant mall with 50,000 square metres GLA and for the accompanying public infrastructure in a central, high-density location in Pitesti, Romania is making good progress. Tenant interest in the planned retail consolidation for the Pitesti and wider Arges region is strong and pre-construction leasing work is progressing well.

DAMBOVITA MALL

Permitting is under way for the regionally dominant mall with 31,000 square metres GLA in Targoviste, Romania. Despite the lease process not having commenced, several major anchor tenants have expressed strong interest in the development. It will be the first mall in the Dambovita county and forms part of a wider urban regeneration project undertaken by the local authorities within 2km of the city centre, in a densely populated residential area.
RESIDENTIAL AND MIXED USE
AVALON ESTATE
Permitting is ongoing on the upmarket, modern housing estate near the developing central business district and commercial centre in the affluent northern part of Bucharest.

STRATEGY AND VALUE CREATION
FUNDING
The group focuses on ensuring the capital structure supports shareholder returns through effective capital management of debt, equity and other liquid assets.
DEBT
The group reduces the cost of capital by utilising debt funding. The group has continued to take advantage of the low cost of debt by gearing investment property and, where appropriate, fixing debt on assets to be held over the longer-term.
Progress has been made during the year, with €51.07 million of debt secured against western European assets being drawdown at a weighted average cost of 2.73% and a further €53.00 million of debt secured against central and eastern European assets being drawdown at a weighted average cost of 3.56%. The group's weighted average cost of debt has increased from 2.32% at the previous year end to 2.69% at 30 June 2018. This is due to the increasing cost of debt and the increase in central and eastern European debt, which is inherently costlier.
The LTV has decreased to 10% at the year end, from 16.5%. The current target range for the group is an LTV of 40%. This level of debt leaves adequate flexibility without exposing the group to excessive risk.
MAS' priority when raising external debt finance is to manage the maturity profile of the debt which enables the group to maximise the terms from lenders whilst maintaining the spread of risk in the group. Concentration risk is also a consideration, with care taken to ensure that the group is not unduly exposed to a single debt provider.
The hedging strategy manages interest rate risk across the debt portfolio and is undertaken on an individual loan basis, with a preference for fixing rates over the long term and leaving shorter termed debt and debt on assets with the potential for disposal at floating rates. Currently 82.1% of the group's debt has been fixed.

- DRAWNDOWN €104
MILLION OF DEBT AT 3.15% - MANAGED INTEREST RATE EXPOSURE BY LOCKING IN FIXED RATE DEBT
- LTV INCREASED TO 20%¹
- WEIGHTED AVERAGE DEBT MATURITY OF 6 YEARS
LOOKING AHEAD
The gearing programme will continue to secure funding against the portfolio assets, and the LTV is expected to continue moving towards target levels as the portfolio matures. In addition, the group is discussing other opportunities to secure debt funding.
The continuing low interest rate environment in Europe makes this an opportune time to secure further debt.
¹ Includes acquisitions post 30 June 2018

STRATEGY AND VALUE CREATION
FUNDING
EQUITY
During the year the group undertook two over-subscribed share placements, raising a total of €281 million. The capital raised has been used to drive growth through the acquisition of accretive investment property and progression of developments in the portfolio.
The liquidity of the traded share continues to improve, with the 90-day median daily volume reaching over 400,000 shares per day. The shareholder base now includes more than 10,000 shareholders.
Capital management is integral to the creation of value for shareholders. Accordingly, the group proposed a resolution to repurchase shares based on the share price relative to the net asset value per share. On 7 September 2018 shareholders passed a resolution allowing the group to repurchase shares subject to the following salient conditions:
- acquisitions of shares in the aggregate in any one financial year/period shall not exceed 15% of the company's issued ordinary share capital as at the date of passing this resolution;
- the general authority shall be valid until the company's next annual meeting of shareholders or 15 months from the date of
passing this resolution, whichever is the earlier;
- in determining the price at which shares issued by the company are acquired by it or any of its subsidiaries in terms of this general authority, the maximum premium at which such shares may be acquired will be 10% of the weighted average of the market value on the JSE over the 5 business days immediately preceding the repurchase of such shares;
During the year 5,000,000 shares in the geared share purchase scheme were forfeited and cancelled.

RAISED €281 MILLION THROUGH THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES

OTHER LIQUID ASSETS
In order to mitigate the group's future funding obligations towards PKM Developments, the group invested €200 million in a listed real estate equities portfolio.
The investment in the REIT portfolio achieves the following objectives for the group:
- generates a return on funds earmarked for PKM Developments before drawdown, since euro interest rates on cash are negative;
- efficiently matches the asset/liability profile of the group;
- provides a collateral pool for debt facilities at extremely low margins, thereby facilitating substantial flexibility in acquiring investments; and
- provides exposure to high quality businesses with similar risk profiles to those of the group.
This exposes the portfolio to some capital volatility. At year end the REIT portfolio has declined in value to €183.1 million, in line with the performance of retail-focused stocks in western Europe that have come under pressure in the first half of 2018. Dividend income of €8.4 million has been earned on this portfolio since acquisition.

STRATEGY AND VALUE CREATION
RELATIONSHIPS
Relationship capital is the intrinsic value that is created with all stakeholders of the group through multiple interactions. These relationships are critical to delivering what the group does.
Effective stakeholder engagement is fundamental to the group's ability to communicate with all stakeholders and to create long-lasting relationships. The group's approach to stakeholder engagement is to identify and understand both the expectation and the level of contribution of shareholders. The method and extent to which the group communicates is tailored to each stakeholder to ensure that stakeholder expectations are met, and the relationship nurtured.
During the year a number of key initiatives have been implemented to enhance relationship capital:
- Continued our partnership with Ikhaya le Themba, a community based charity operating in Khayelitsha in Cape Town which offers holistic care and family support to orphaned and vulnerable children;
- Established relationships with new debt lenders broadening the group's capital base;
- Continued to reinforce strong relationships with tenants;
- Established relationships with new tenants with strong covenants; Bank of Scotland amongst others;
- Refreshed our website in February 2018 to include video footage of key assets and improve the overall user experience; and
- Forged new relationships with brokers and financial institutions across the jurisdictions in which we invest.

TEAM
Team capital represents the operating platform, incorporating the knowledge and expertise developed through the continued investment in people, systems and processes.
PEOPLE
Through the continued investment in its people, MAS has established a strong team with extensive knowledge and experience across its invested markets. The wider team includes members of the Prime Kapital team with whom a close working relationship has been forged. MAS has resources on the ground with staff or associate offices in London, Frankfurt and Edinburgh in addition to the head office in the Isle of Man. MAS employs talented people that have the skills and experience to contribute to the group's activities and add value. Across all the jurisdictions in which the group operates, the approach is to attract, motivate and retain talented people.
A number of initiatives to enhance the team and to aid the attraction, motivation and retention of team members have been implemented:
- Welcomed Paul Osbourn as Executive Director and Werner Alberts as an Independent Non-Executive Director after year end;
-
Continued to build the depth, capability and capacity of the team with a number of key hires in line with our succession plans;
-
Launched an organisational culture survey;
- Gender diversity policy in place;
- Invested in continuing professional development;
- Continue to communicate openly and honestly;
- Detailed review of remuneration, including market and peer assessment commissioned; and
- Reinforced the culture, which emphasises a relentless drive for continuous improvement.
The partnership with Prime Kapital provides access to a team of highly experienced real estate professionals with an exceptional track record, combining a multi-disciplinary skill-base integrated along the entire property value-creation chain. Its management team includes the founder and former senior executives of the largest CEE based publicly traded property company, who, in their previous capacity, developed, re-developed and operated substantial assets.
Over the last year, the Prime Kapital and MAS teams have worked tirelessly to integrate the joint venture structures to ensure efficient and effective communication and strong relationships across all teams have been forged as a result.
SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES
Significant investment has been made into the processes and operating systems of the organisation to ensure that they are robust and reliable; this investment enables operational efficiency at a time of growth and dynamic change in the organisation. A number of initiatives have been implemented which have enhanced the systems and processes:
- Continued implementation of a property management and accounting software package
- Invested in a new HR platform to aid staff engagement and provide KPI performance monitoring
- Identified a suitable risk management system to streamline reporting, escalation of risks and adherence to key controls

STRATEGY AND VALUE CREATION
SUSTAINABILITY
The group's philosophy is to make a positive difference in a sustainable way through the operation of the group. New ways of improving social and natural sustainability are continually being contemplated.
This is achieved by considering the following:
SOCIAL
Investment in the locations in which the group operates to (contribute to social well-being)
ENVIRONMENTAL
The responsible and efficient use of natural resources in a sustainable manner
ECONOMIC
The responsible approach in optimising the outputs of the group's capitals
SOCIAL IMPACT
The group recognises the importance of investing in the communities in which it operates. Developments provide a unique opportunity to focus on social impact in a more meaningful way than other investments. At New Waverley, the provision of a community facility to provide meeting space for a number of local groups has been included, as well as affordable housing for eligible households whose needs are not met by the open housing market. North Street Quarter and Langley Park include the provision of affordable housing units, with North Street Quarter also incorporating extra care housing for over 55's with care and support needs. North Street Quarter will also provide local community workspace to encourage new social enterprise and business activity.
The group also focuses on investing in the wider community. Historically, support has been provided on an ad hoc basis, however last year, we entered into a three-year partnership with Ikhaya le Themba, a community based charity operating out of Khayelitsha in Cape Town. It provides community development services to vulnerable children, the terminally and chronically ill, as well as the wider community, with a focus on "helping them to help themselves" through skills development.
Ikhaya le Themba's need for support was clear, with a number of high priority initiatives in urgent need of funding. In addition, several aspirational programmes were also awaiting funding before implementation. MAS has offered a three-year guaranteed minimum amount of ZAR 149,250 (approx. €11,250) per annum, to be split across existing initiatives and to help launch new initiatives that can be tracked over the three-year period. Supported initiatives include home-based care, soup kitchen, community maintenance and shack coverings, new initiatives, such as Resilient Kids, Basic Training and Development, as well as Workplace Readiness, are all now under way as a result.
MAS receives regular updates to monitor the success of each initiative and it is encouraging to see that the new initiatives that were sponsored last year are now firmly embedded. Video updates from June 2017 and 2018 are available on our website www.masrei.com.
During the year, MAS also provided funding support to the British Virgin Islands Relief Fund and the Barbuda Relief and Rebuilding fund helping to rebuild the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria and Hurricane Irma. The damage caused by the hurricanes caused the registered office of the company in the BVI to be closed for several weeks, although this did not impact upon operations in the Isle of Man or across Europe. The extent of the damage suffered means recovery efforts will continue for years to come, however the focus on rebuilding the community, including the capacity to respond to future natural disasters through disaster risk reduction and preparedness training, is well under way. Where possible renewable energy and recycling initiatives will be incorporated into the rebuild to drive a stronger, greener infrastructure.
MAS also sponsored a number of UK and Isle of Man based initiatives, including donations to the local foodbank, breast cancer support group, sepsis awareness, fundraising for the local special care baby unit and participation and contribution to Sleep in the Park homelessness charity, all of which are causes close to the team's heart.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
UK
Sustainable energy is key to Chippenham and the developments at Langley Park and North Street Quarter. Progressive urban design initiatives implemented include the following:
- Green roof technology at Langley Park;
- Sustainable urban drainage;
- Water efficient/low flow sanitary fittings;
- Provision of community facility at New Waverley;
- Provision for flood defences to be built at North Street Quarter;
- The photovoltaic farm at Chippenham provides power to the site and generates an income; and
- Environmentally friendly landfill is used at New Waverley.

RISK AND GOVERNANCE
KEY RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
MAS is committed to increasing shareholder value through the management of risks that are inherent within the group.
Risk identification is a two-tiered process:
- A top-down approach tailored to the identification of key strategic risks; and
- A predominantly bottom-up approach to determine the key operational risks the group is exposed to.
Such risks are assessed to determine the potential impact on the group and an exercise is undertaken to measure the level of inherent risk faced by the group.
To assist with the bottom-up identification of risks, a risk register is maintained and updated as operational risks are identified and considered during the ordinary course of business. The senior management team reviews the register on a regular basis. As part of this review, the key risks are identified to ensure continued focus on mitigating these risks. The key risks are reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee.
The board is mindful of achieving

RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
the strategic objectives in a sustainable manner and seeks to manage exposure to undue risk.
Risk management is considered to be fundamental to good management practice and a significant aspect of corporate governance.
When considering risks, the likelihood of the risk manifesting and its potential impact on the group is assessed. The risks detailed in the tables on pages 48 to 51 are
considered to be the key risks facing the group.

RISK AND GOVERNANCE
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
STATEMENT OF COMMITMENT
The commitment to good corporate governance comes from the top, the Chairman, the CEO and the board, who set the ethical tone for the group. The board understands its responsibility to lead in an ethical manner to safeguard the interests of all stakeholders. It is a critical part of MAS' strategy and its ability to function as a responsible corporate citizen.
High standards of business integrity, ethical values and codes of conduct are expected throughout the group and the board has placed a high level of importance on, and has allocated increased resources to, corporate governance during this financial year. As part of the review of the impact and implementation of King IV, MAS engaged external professional advisors to further improve its governance and control practices in line with the Corporate Governance Framework Handbook, its policies and procedures. Further details are set out below.
ETHICAL LEADERSHIP
The board expanded the functions of the existing Governance Committee to include responsibility for social and ethical matters by establishing the Governance, Social and Ethics Committee (GSEC) during December 2017. Its remit is to ensure that the ethical culture and core values are ingrained across the group. A key focus for the GSEC during the year included the codes of ethics and conduct for directors, employees and suppliers, in addition to the modern slavery statement.
The board and its committees regularly review the corporate governance framework and continue to enhance and align policies, procedures and systems to embed this framework and drive a culture of continuous improvement within the business. The Corporate Governance Framework Handbook has been enhanced and updated during the year and this was reviewed and approved by the board on 21 May 2018.
In addition to the GSEC's oversight and reporting on governance, social and ethical matters, the executive directors, the company secretary and the senior management team, including those specifically tasked with governance matters, are accountable for fostering an ethical culture at all levels of operational activity in MAS. Communication is key to ensuring that ethical codes and standards of behaviour are understood and adhered to. The policies and statements made in relation to governance and modern slavery, have been communicated to key stakeholders and suppliers, and are followed up where necessary. The focus on health and safety matters during the period has resulted in reviews at an asset level and any remedial action has been addressed as appropriate. Management reports back to the GSEC on these matters at each committee meeting.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES
The group is committed to the principles of good corporate governance and, in particular, to the recommendations for best practice as laid down by the JSE and the King IV report.
During the financial year, the board carried out a detailed review of the application of King IV principles and engaged an external expert to analyse any gaps between the application of King III and King IV principles. A report detailing compliance with the King IV principles is available on the group's website, www.masrei.com.
The board is satisfied that the group has applied the principles of King IV during the financial year to 30 June 2018.
CODES OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT
The board introduced a revised code of ethics and conduct for directors, which documents the standards of behaviour expected from individuals holding positions on the board. Following recommendations by the GSEC, it has approved the implementation and dissemination of the codes of ethics and conduct, for both employees and suppliers.
Employees throughout the group have been made fully aware of the content of the codes and standard of behaviour expected.
Amendments have been made to agreements with third parties that were entered into throughout the year, to ensure that those suppliers and their agents are fully aware of the MAS suppliers code of ethics and conduct.

RISK AND GOVERNANCE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
BOARD COMPOSITION AND EXPERIENCE
The board comprises six non-executive directors, the majority of whom are independent (including the chairman) and four executive directors. In compliance with King IV, the roles of chairman and CEO are clearly separated and there is a balance of power and authority to ensure that no one director has unfettered powers in decision making.
All directors have the skills, experience and/or qualifications required to make adequate judgements on issues of strategy, risk, performance, resources, standards of conduct and evaluation of performance. Their varied backgrounds and experience provide a balanced mix of the knowledge required to manage the business effectively. The skills and knowledge mix of board members is comprehensive, comprising a variety of professional and experienced qualified individuals, including accountants, surveyors, chartered directors, lawyers and investment professionals. The majority of board members hold or have held other non-executive positions which add to the skills base in terms of the value they bring from these experiences and they draw on this and their specific professional qualifications to fulfil appropriate committee roles.
Morné Wilken, previously a non-executive director, was appointed to the role of CEO from 1 January 2018. In addition, the company announced two further appointments on 7 September 2018, to strengthen the board. Paul Osbourn joins the board as an executive director with over 20 years' experience in corporate finance and in restructuring professional services while Werner Alberts has been appointed as an additional independent non-executive director with a wealth of experience in the fields of business development, risk and compliance, internal audit and corporate finance. Werner will also bring his investment expertise to the investment committee.
Glynnis Carthy, appointed in 2017 as an independent non-executive director, has also made a substantial contribution to the board with her technical skills and experience.
While the board is satisfied with the mix of knowledge, skills and experience of its members during the


MAS REAL ESTATE INC INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2018
financial year, it recognises the increasing challenges all businesses face in many areas and continues to actively pursue candidates to further boost the capability of the board.
The board is fully committed to demonstrating the importance of good governance to the success of the business and will continue to encourage robust oversight and constructive challenges from its non-executives. It is anticipated that the addition of two new members to the board will invigorate the already healthy interaction and debate that exists amongst its members and, with the increasing focus on governance and transparency in the industry, it believes that it is well placed to drive the strategy of the business forward.
MAS will continue to engage additional technical experts in relevant fields, as appropriate, to advise and attend board meetings, to supplement its knowledge.
The board meets at least three times a year. In addition to the regular scheduled meetings of the board, ad hoc meetings are held as and when required in order to ensure the efficient discharge by the board of its duties as set out in the board charter.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements, Rules and Regulations of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, King IV and other applicable regulation.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The board is responsible for setting the group's values, strategic objectives and investment policies for the group. It acts as a focal point for, and is the custodian of, corporate governance by managing its relationship with management, the group's shareholders and other stakeholders along sound corporate governance principles.
The board's terms of reference are set out in a written charter and it acts in accordance with its charter, the purpose of which is to a set out the board's role and responsibilities as well as the requirements for its composition, meeting procedures and delegation of authority. The board charter is reviewed regularly, at least annually, and the most recent review and update was approved in May 2018 to ensure compliance with King IV.
THE BOARD'S RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE:
- Leading the group ethically and effectively;
- Acting as the custodian of corporate governance;
- Considering the strategy, risk, performance and sustainability of the group;
- Ensuring proper management, control and compliance of the group;
- Establishing a framework for proper internal controls and risk management;
- Ensuring that the group is, and is seen to be, a responsible corporate citizen;
- Assuming responsibility for the governance of risk, technology and information governance;
- Approving the strategy of the group which will result in sustainable outcomes;
- Ensuring compliance with appropriate laws, rules and listing requirements and consideration of adherence to non-binding rules, standards and best practice;
- Evaluating the performance of the CEO, executive directors and senior management; and
- Ensuring that individual directors adhere to satisfactory standards of conduct including disclosure of conflicts of interest and director's dealings.
All major acquisitions, disposals and financing transactions require approval by a majority of the board of MAS (BVI) Holdings Limited ("MAS BVI"), the investment decision-making subsidiary within the group, with other matters being delegated by the board to well-structured committees but without abdicating its own responsibilities. Delegation is determined by defined, formal terms of reference for each board committee and there is a delegated authority framework in place from the board and MAS BVI which provides senior management with the parameters within which they can operate. These terms of reference and the delegated authority framework are approved and regularly reviewed by the board. There are clear reporting lines to ensure that the board receives all relevant information about the business.
INDEPENDENCE OF DIRECTORS AND DIVERSITY
The continuing independence of non-executives is vital to ensuring that stakeholders best interests are achieved and the board conducted a full assessment of each non-executive director in December 2017. King IV states that length of service can affect a director's independence. Therefore the board, through its Remuneration and Nomination Committee (Rem/Nom Committee), will conduct specific independence assessments on an annual basis in respect of any non-executive director who has served for nine years or more. This will be a balanced approach that considers the added value that past experience on the board provides, together with a fresh perspective brought by more recent appointments and aims to achieve the optimum blend.
In November 2017, consideration was given to the appointment of a Lead Independent Director in terms of King IV. The board concluded that a lead independent director would not be appointed at this time, due the continuing independence of the chairman. This will be reassessed during the 2019 financial year as the new board members settle into their roles.
MAS is an equal opportunities employer and the board is committed to workplace diversity and inclusion. It has a gender diversity policy in place which sets out the strategies it adopts to deliver a balanced gender representation across all areas of the business including the board. It recognises that the success of the group relies on having the best people, with a variety of perspectives and a broad range of experience, aligned to a common purpose and set of values in order to achieve the group's strategic objectives. Gender balance, particularly at board level, is an area for ongoing focus.
The board was delighted to welcome Glynnis Carthy during 2017 and will continue to adopt strategies to broaden the field for identification of potential female candidates for future board appointments, whilst ensuring at all times that candidates are treated equally. Achieving the most suitable blend of aptitudes, experience and qualifications to complement and balance the existing skills of the board as a whole, regardless of gender, is a priority.

CEO AND BOARD EFFECTIVENESS EVALUATION
Under the terms of the board charter, the board is responsible for appointing and evaluating the performance of the chief executive officer as well as all other executive and non-executive directors of the board. The role of the CEO is key to the success of the group. It is the CEO's responsibility to lead the business ethically, agree the group strategy, culture and values and to ensure that the resources of the group are managed effectively to achieve its targets. During the year, the board appointed Morné Wilken to the role of chief executive officer, effective from 1 January 2018 and the board is satisfied with the performance of the CEO during the period since his appointment. The terms of the CEO's contract include a notice period of three months by either party.
The chairman, supported by the Rem/Nom Committee, ensures that the board's effectiveness is reviewed regularly on both a formal and informal basis.
Directors will periodically participate in a written peer review to assess individual directors on the attributes that contribute to an effective board including, but not necessarily restricted to, strategic thinking, leadership, integrity, meeting preparation and overall contribution. The full board review and individual directors' assessments were undertaken internally in mid-2017 and the observations have been subject to ongoing monitoring and review by the board. As a result of this, and board changes during the year, the board has, through its Rem/Nom Committee, commissioned an externally-managed board culture survey in order to better understand the culture, interaction and decision-making at board level.
RE-ELECTION AND APPOINTMENT OF NEW DIRECTORS
In accordance with the company's articles of association, one third of the non-executive directors are subject to retirement by rotation and can offer themselves for re-election at the annual shareholders' meeting. The directors subject to retirement by rotation include any director who wishes to retire and not offer himself for re-election or any other of the directors which have been longest in office since their most recent appointment or re-appointment. The directors to retire on each occasion shall be determined by the composition of directors at the end of every financial year. A director's eligibility for re-election is based on the board's confirmation of their past performance and contribution to the board. The directors due for retirement at the 2018 annual shareholders' meeting, and offering themselves for re-election, are Ron Spencer and Jaco Jansen.
Both Ron Spencer and Jaco Jansen have served on the board for a period of 9 years. Ron is chairman of the board and, notwithstanding the length of term of his appointment, an assessment has been carried out to ascertain his continued independence. The conclusion of the Rem/Nom Committee is that Ron remains independent and going forward, due to his length of service in terms of King IV, his independence and position on the board will be assessed annually. The board recommends that he be re-elected at the forthcoming annual shareholders' meeting.
Jaco has been a non-executive for 9 years and following a board-wide independence assessment that was undertaken in December 2017, Jaco was re-classified as non-independent. His status as a non-independent will be reviewed on a regular basis, at least

annually and due to his continued contribution to the board, it is recommended that he be re-elected at the forthcoming annual shareholders' meeting.
The appointment of new directors is by a resolution of the directors and any such appointment is confirmed at the next annual shareholders' meeting. The Rem/Nom Committee identifies suitable candidates for board appointments in order to ensure that such appointments are made in a formal and transparent manner. With regard to the recent appointments of Paul Osbourn and Werner Alberts, the directors approved their appointment by resolution with effect from 7 September 2018. The board recommends that the recent appointments of Paul Osbourn and Werner Alberts be approved at the forthcoming annual shareholders' meeting.

Updates and briefings on changes to risks, laws, rules and regulations, codes and standards are provided as and when necessary.
The board encourages and supports directors if they wish to undertake the Institute of Directors professional examinations.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The group has updated its conflicts of interest policy during the 2018 financial year and the aim of the policy is to outline what may constitute a conflict of interest within the group, how any conflicts of interest are reported and recorded, and what steps may be taken to remove, manage or mitigate such conflicts. If a member of the board has a personal financial, economic or any other interest that might affect the members' objectivity, transparency or credibility, or knows that a related person of theirs has a personal financial, economic or any other interest in the matter, that person:
- must disclose the interest and its general nature before the matter is considered at the meeting;
- must disclose to the meeting any material information relating to the
matter, and known to him/her;
- may disclose any observations or relevant insights relating to the matter if requested to do so by the other directors;

RISK AND GOVERNANCE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Once an actual, potential or perceived conflict of interest has been identified and disclosed at a board or a committee meeting, it must be reported to the company secretary, who maintains and regularly updates the group conflicts of interest register. Directors and the company secretary are required to complete an annual declaration of all relevant financial, economic and other interests held by them and their related parties. Further disclosures are required whenever there are significant changes to such interests. The company secretary maintains the disclosure records and updates the conflicts of interest register as required.
The directors and the company secretary are required to declare on an annual basis that they have complied with the conflict of interest policy.
DIRECTORS' DEALINGS IN COMPANY SECURITIES
Dealing in company shares by the directors, the company secretary or any employee is set out in the group's share dealing policy and is regulated by the Rules and Regulations of the Luxembourg stock exchange, EU market abuse regulations and the JSE Listings Requirements. All directors and the company secretary must obtain approval, in writing, from the chairman prior to any deal being undertaken. In his absence, any approval must be sought from the GSEC chair. The chairman must obtain approval from the GSEC chair in relation to his personal dealings. This approval must then be forwarded to the company secretary who will maintain a register of all deals undertaken. Disclosure of any deals undertaken by directors, the company secretary, or their associates, or by an employee, or any other individual classified as "Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility", must be made promptly and within strict timescales. Share dealing is not permitted under any circumstances in closed periods, as defined in the JSE Listing Requirements.
DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION
The board has constituted a Rem/Nom committee which is delegated with the responsibility for all aspects of executive directors' remuneration, evaluation, performance and policy and to review remuneration levels in the group. The remuneration of non-executive directors is a matter for the board, with the Committee providing an advisory role. The Committee ensures that the remuneration policy and its implementation support both the short-term and long-term objectives of the group and is structured to attract, reward and retain talented employees.
Further details and the full report of Rem/Nom Committee is included in the report on pages 68 to 82.

The board considers and satisfies itself on an annual basis as to the competence, qualifications and experience of the company secretary and the board reviews the relationship between the company secretary and its members to determine whether the company secretary has maintained an arms-length relationship with the board.
The board has direct access to the company secretary who advises on updates of regulatory rules, corporate governance matters and legislation. The company secretary has a direct and open relationship with the chairman and the non-executive members of the board and communicates frequently without influence, interference, or requiring permission from the executive directors. The company secretary is not a director of the company or of any of its subsidiaries. She does not sit on any board committees and has no major contractual relationships with the company or any director. The company secretary is a qualified chartered secretary with over thirty years' experience in the corporate governance and finance arena.
The board maintains that the company secretary's independence from management has not been compromised and it is satisfied that the company secretary has the necessary skills and experience to carry out her duties.
COMMITTEES
The board has established a number of permanent committees to assist the board in discharging its duties and responsibilities. The board delegates authority, whilst retaining accountability, to relevant board committees (and to the executive directors where appropriate) within clearly defined mandates.
The Terms of Reference for each committee sets out its role, responsibilities, scope of authority and composition. Details of the current membership of each committee can be found under the governance section within the "About Us" area on our website, www.masrei.com.
The established committees are:
AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE ("ARC")
The audit committee and the risk committee merged under board authority in December 2017. The ARC adopted new terms of reference to ensure compliance with King IV. This committee ensures that the financial performance of the group is properly reported on and monitored and reviews internal control systems, procedures and processes and is responsible for managing the group's strategic and operational risk. This committee also oversees the external audit process. The ARC meets at least four times a year. The full report of the ARC can be found at pages 62 to 67.
REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE ("REM/NOM COMM")
The Rem/Nom Committee merged under board authority in December 2017. The Rem/Nom Committee adopted new terms of reference to ensure compliance with King IV. This committee reviews and sets remuneration levels across the group, including the provision of any employee share purchase scheme and oversees the appointment of directors, evaluating the composition of the board and succession planning. The committee meets at least once a year. The full report of the Rem/Nom Committee can be found on pages 68 to 82.
MAS REAL ESTATE INC INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2018
GOVERNANCE SOCIAL AND ETHICS COMMITTEE ("GSEC")
The GSEC was expanded in December 2017 to include the responsibilities for social and ethics and it adopted new terms of reference to ensure compliance with King IV. The GSEC monitors and reviews compliance with all applicable legal, regulatory and listing requirements and ensures that the ethical culture and core values are ingrained across the group. The GSEC meets at least once a year. The full report of the GSEC Committee can be found on pages 83 to 85.
INVESTMENT COMMITTEE
The investment decision-making company within the group is MAS BVI. It, and its committee (the Investment Committee), receives recommendations from the Portfolio Management team of the investment advisor within the group, comprising the executive directors, none of whom sit on the board of MAS BVI.
The Investment Committee operates under formal terms of reference and its members are the executive directors as well as two of the independent non-executive directors. The Committee meets at least twice a year on a formal basis and periodically throughout the year to consider investment pipeline recommendations, acquisition and disposal proposals, project expenditure and all other key matters relating to the investment portfolio.
CONCLUSION
The board carried out its responsibilities as set out in its charter.

As Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee (ARC or committee), I am pleased to present the committee's report for the year ended 30 June 2018.
The committee had a very busy year for several reasons:
- We maintained an extensive focus on KPMG in South Africa and considered any implications for KPMG Isle of Man in the role of auditors of the group. This resulted in us placing the audit out to tender. The committee recommended, and the board approved, the reappointment of KPMG Isle of Man (see page 66).
- During the year the board committees were reviewed which resulted in the Audit Committee and Risk Committee merging to form the Audit and Risk Committee.
The primary reason for this change is that these committees have interdependent responsibilities which can be more effectively dealt with by one committee.
- There have been extensive changes in regulation and the business environment in recent years, with the result that the role of the committee has significantly expanded.
KEY FOCUS AREAS
The committee has spent considerable time during the year on financial reporting, risk management, the review of internal controls as well as the independence, and effectiveness, of the external auditor. To achieve this, it focussed on the following areas:
| The group's combined assurance model and compliance with requirements of King IV | See combined assurance - page 67 |
|---|---|
| The identification, and mitigation, of risks within the group | See risk management process - page 48 |
| An independent review of the group's assessment of its internal control process | See internal controls - page 67 |
| Conducted a competitive audit tender process | See external auditor - page 66 |
| Approved the appointment of KPMG Isle of Man, which included: approving the terms of engagement and audit fee; reviewing the independence, objectivity and effectiveness of KPMG Isle of Man; confirming the suitability of the audit firm and designated audit partner in compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements and approved the non-audit fees payable to KPMG Isle of Man having regard to our policy on the provision of non-audit services | See external auditor - page 66 |
| The financial statements and financial reporting process | See significant judgement and estimation uncertainties - page 99 |
| The key audit matters included in the audit report | See key audit matters - page 65 |

- Closed door meeting between the members of the committee and the external auditor;
- Review of the integrated annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018; and
- Consideration of the expertise, resources and experience of the finance function and chief financial officer.
On a quarterly basis, the committee chair reported to the board to update the members on any key issues discussed by the committee, and to provide any recommendations.
SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTIES
The committee assessed whether suitable accounting policies had been selected and that appropriate judgements regarding their application had been made, and whether management had made appropriate estimates. The committee paid attention to matters it considered to be important because of their impact on the group's results and particularly those which involved more complexity, judgement or estimation by management.
The committee obtained assurance from the external auditor, KPMG Isle of Man, in making the assessments about the key audit matters and the significant financial reporting issues below:
KEY AUDIT MATTERS
KEY AUDIT MATTERS
HOW THE COMMITTEE ADDRESSED THE MATTER
| E9 | Valuation of investment properties | The committee reviewed, and approved, the valuation methodology and process that would be applied for the year-end reporting. This included the process for selecting a reputable and experienced independent valuer for the investment property as well as the valuation process as detailed in note 17.
The committee reviewed and discussed the valuation reports after they had been approved by the Investment Committee, with focus on the significant assumptions used in estimating fair value which are set out in note 17 of the annual financial statements. |
| --- | --- | --- |
| E9 | Valuation of investment in equity accounted investee and PKM Developments preference shares | The group is required to make judgements as to whether there is objective evidence that the preference shares and the investment in equity accounted investee may be impaired.
Management has concluded that there is no objective evidence of impairment. In order to satisfy itself, the committee reviewed assessments made by management throughout the period, and scrutinised management's conclusions. Further information has been provided in the annual financial statements, please refer to notes 2 and 29.
In addition, the committee reviewed and discussed the independent valuation reports prepared for the PKM Developments investment property portfolio. |
OTHER SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL REPORTING ISSUES
OTHER SIGNIFICANT ISSUES
HOW THE COMMITTEE ADDRESSED THE MATTER
| E9 | Whether the acquisition of an investment property is a business combination | During the period the group acquired an investment property, namely, Uberior House, through the acquisition of the entire share capital of a holding company. Management concluded that the acquisition did not constitute a business acquisition as the group did not acquire the strategic management in relation to the investment property. After engaging with management, the committee agrees that this acquisition did not constitute a business combination.
Further information has been provided in the annual financial statements, please refer to notes 2 and 17. |
| --- | --- | --- |
| E9 | Sales of inventory property | The group entered into an agreement to dispose of land at New Waverley and to develop an office that was pre-let to the UK government on a forward funding basis to Legal & General. The development has been accounted for as a continuous-sale transaction. The committee has reviewed the assessments of management, an external IFRS adviser and the external auditor and is satisfied that the transaction constitutes a continuous-sale transaction.
Further information has been provided in the annual financial statements, please refer to notes 2 and 18. |
| E9.5 | Financial instruments | The group is required to make estimations of unobservable inputs in determining the fair value of financial instruments. The most significant financial instruments relate to a development management fee and a priority participating profit dividend which are payable to New Waverley Advisers and New Waverley Holdings, refer to note 30. The significant input in the fair value of those liabilities is the fair value of the New Waverley investment property. The committee satisfied itself regarding the fair value of investment property as explained above. The committee reviewed the calculation prepared by management and consequently is satisfied that these liabilities are correctly reflected at fair value. |

RISK AND GOVERNANCE
REPORT OF THE AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE
EXTERNAL AUDITOR
KPMG Isle of Man was the external auditor of the group during the year. The committee is responsible for the appointment of the external auditor and oversight thereafter to ensure audit effectiveness and independence. To achieve this the committee has focused on the following key areas:
- Assessment, and continued monitoring, of the allegations against KPMG South Africa;
- Completion of a competitive audit tender process, and a recommendation to the board for the reappointment of KPMG Isle of Man as the external auditors of the group;
- Review of the scope of the annual audit plan with focus on the appropriateness of the audit plan, significant risks and materiality;
- Assessment of the effectiveness of KPMG Isle of Man in relation to its independence and audit quality;
- Consideration, and approval, of the appropriateness of the external auditor remuneration fees; and
- Further enhancement to the non-audit services policy for the group.
Several additional committee meetings occurred as a result of the allegations made against KPMG South Africa. The committee initially engaged with KPMG Isle of Man to challenge and gain clarity over how the issues had arisen and whether KPMG Isle of Man had performed any services in connection with any politically sensitive parties in South Africa. The committee continually assessed the impact on the group and recommended to the board that it include a resolution in the Annual General Meeting to appoint an external auditor only after finalisation of a formal tender process.
The committee concluded a competitive tender process which commenced in late 2017 and ended during early 2018. Given the extent of the allegations of audit failures in South Africa and the uncertainties at the time, the committee felt that it was not the appropriate time to appoint a new external auditor. Therefore, the committee decided to reappoint KPMG Isle of Man. The committee continues to monitor the situation.
The committee engaged with KPMG Isle of Man about the intended scope and materiality of the audit plan and sought further clarification as necessary. The committee also debated the appropriateness of the key audit matters identified by KPMG.
In assessing the audit firm and individual audit partners' suitability for appointment, the committee has reviewed the inspection reports on KPMG Isle of Man which were issued by the audit regulator, reviewed other relevant documents in terms of section 22.15(h) of the JSE Listings Requirements, considered the audit team's knowledge of the group, understanding of the accounting process and the extent to which the audit plan has progressed in line with expectation. The committee confirmed that the external auditor has been effective in adequately fulfilling its responsibilities and has the requisite qualifications, expertise and resources to discharge its duties.
KPMG Isle of Man has confirmed to the committee that it remains independent and has maintained the necessary internal safeguards to ensure the objectivity of the audit partner and staff. The group and the external auditor are satisfied that no relationships exist between them other than in the ordinary course of business.
The interim financial statements have been reviewed by KPMG Isle of Man for the past three years, further increasing the committee's confidence in the integrity of the financial reporting process. The review of the interim financial statements has also meant that the committee is in regular communication with the auditor throughout the year.
The committee has reviewed the appropriateness of the fee of the external auditor in the context of the growth of the group during the year, the increased communication between the committee and external auditor, and the multi-jurisdictional nature of the audit. The committee benchmarked the fee with the fee proposals from the audit tender and concluded that the fees are commensurate with the work performed and that KPMG Isle of Man earns sufficient fees to perform a quality audit.
During the year the committee reviewed the non-audit services policy and approved a variation to the policy to include a cumulative limit of €12,500 of non-audit service fees relating to tax advice, to be incurred by the group without prior approval from the committee, with all other non-audit services still requiring committee approval at any level. Given the ad hoc nature of some immaterial non-audit service fees the committee concluded that this approach was more practical and would not impair the independence of the external auditor.
The level of non-audit fees is expected to reduce in 2019 because of the continued focus on auditors providing non-audit services and the revised non-audit services policy discussed above. The committee is satisfied that the non-audit fees do not impair KPMG's independence.
The following fees were approved during the year:
| Euro | Year ended 30 June 2018 | Year ended 30 June 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Interim review fee | 44,384 | 28,248 |
| Year-end audit fee | 256,429 | 208,108 |
| Non-audit fees | 48,666 | 33,970 |
| Total fees | 349,479 | 270,326 |
| Percentage of non-audit to total fees | 13.93% | 12.57% |

MAS REAL ESTATE INC INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2018
COMBINED ASSURANCE
The group adopted a combined assurance model to manage risk and to ensure the effectiveness of controls, risk management procedures and governance processes. The model's lines of defence emphasise the fundamental concept of risk management and support its execution.
The model sets out and reinforces an 'everyone is responsible' tone by positioning each of the lines of defence to function effectively. The other lines of defence, as set out in the model, reinforce this tone. This creates a culture which allows the lines of defence to leverage off each other and to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of controls, risk management procedures and governance processes, which better align with the principles of King IV.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The group considers risk management to be fundamental to good management practice and a significant aspect of corporate governance. Effective management of risk provides an essential contribution to achieving the group's strategic and operational objectives and goals. Risk management is an integral part of the group's decision-making and day to day management and is incorporated in the strategic and operational planning processes across the group.
Managing risk is the ultimate responsibility of the Board of Directors. Without abdicating this responsibility, the board has delegated this function to the committee, which has adopted a comprehensive risk management policy. Day to day responsibility rests with the group's executive management.
The risk identification process is a two-tiered process: a top-down approach tailored to the identification of key strategic risks; and a predominantly bottom-up approach determining the key operational risks that the group is exposed to. Such risks are assessed to determine the potential impact on the group and an exercise is undertaken to measure the level of inherent risk faced by the group. Formal feedback is given to the committee and in turn to the board.
To assist with the bottom-up identification of risks, a risk register is maintained. This is updated as risks are identified and amended if the risks or their impact, change. The committee focuses on the key risks that affect the business and these are assessed on a regular basis. A detailed review of the entire register is performed at least quarterly by the senior management team. A summary report, together with the register, is presented to the committee.
As the business grows, MAS recognises that it is vital that we invest in systems that are commensurate with size, scale and complexity of the organisation, that streamline reporting and escalation and that enhance confidence in the integrity of the underlying system. As such, an enterprise risk management software solution, which complies with international standards such as ISO31000:2009 and the COSO framework has been identified and, subject to successful completion of the proof of concept, will be implemented before the calendar year end.
External audit assists the committee and the board in assessing the effectiveness of the controls that have been implemented to control risk.
The key risks facing the organisation are identified on pages 48 to 51.
INTERNAL CONTROL
The internal control framework adopts a risk-based approach. As such, the internal controls manual focuses on the key business objectives, the associated risks and their mitigating controls, and describes how each control is evidenced. At this stage the group has not established a separate and independent internal audit function. The need for such a function or the option to outsource this function, is regularly reviewed. In the interim, it is the intention of the committee to invite an independent firm of chartered accountants to perform an annual review of the framework and the testing of controls in order to report their observations and recommendations relating to the operating effectiveness of the control framework.
In the current period, the internal audit work performed has been reviewed by external specialists. As such, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC, Isle of Man, an independent firm of chartered accountants, was engaged to undertake an assessment of the internal control framework and provide its observations and recommendations in respect of:
- The design effectiveness of the internal control framework;
- The design effectiveness of the key controls detailed within the framework documentation; and
- The effectiveness of the internal testing undertaken in respect of the key controls in place.
The report has been reviewed by both management and the committee and recommends certain refinements to the framework and testing approach. The new enterprise risk management software solution, referred to earlier in this report, offers audit tracking functionality, thereby streamlining both the scheduling, reporting and escalation of key control testing.
WHISTLEBLOWING
The committee is responsible for overseeing the group's whistleblowing policy, under which the group's employees have a formal framework for employees, consultants and directors to raise concerns where they believe that there is misconduct or illegal activities within the group, or where concerns over modern slavery and human trafficking exist in the business or within its supply chain. There have been no instances of whistleblowing during the year.
PRIORITIES FOR THE YEAR AHEAD
In the 2019 year, the committee will review the continuous improvement of internal controls, and risk management across the group.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements, Rules and Regulations of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, King IV and other applicable regulation. The committee carried out its responsibilities as set out in its terms of reference.
On behalf of the Audit and Risk Committee.

REMUNERATION ASPECTS OF THE COMMITTEE
GOVERNANCE OF THE COMMITTEE
PURPOSE
The purpose of the committee is to ensure that the remuneration policy and its implementation supports both the short-term and long-term strategic objectives of the group and is structured to attract, reward and retain employees.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE COMMITTEE
The committee is responsible for the following as set out in its terms of reference:
- Determine and agree with the board the framework and policy for remuneration at all levels in the group that will promote achievement of the strategic objectives, encourage individual performance and assist in the attraction and retention of employees;
- Consider how shareholders and other stakeholder interests are taken into account when setting the remuneration policy;
- Ensure that any remuneration policy is fair, responsible, transparent and appropriately implemented and executed;
- Approve the design of any performance related pay elements of the remuneration policy, determine appropriate key performance indicators (KPIs), and ensure any awards are in line with the scheme;
- Review the outcomes of the remuneration policy, including any short and long-term incentives, to determine whether the objectives of the remuneration policy are being achieved and to ensure their continued contribution to the alignment with shareholder value;
- Ensure that all benefits, including retirement benefits, are justified and correctly valued;
- Evaluate the performance of executive and non-executive directors to determine their remuneration;
- Report to shareholders annually on behalf of the board; and
- Compliance with King IV insofar as reporting to the board and attendance at the annual shareholders' meeting is concerned.
The remuneration section of this report is set out in three parts:
i. Part 1 contains the background statement;
ii. Part 2 sets out the company's forward-looking remuneration philosophy and policy; and
iii. Part 3 details the implementation of the policy as endorsed by shareholders at the 2017 annual shareholders' meeting.
Parts 2 and 3 will be put forward for separate non-binding advisory votes as required by the JSE Listings Requirements.
The group continued to grow strongly and performed well over the year with net assets attributable to shareholders increasing by 46.7%, from €582.1 million to €854.3 million at year-end. This increase in equity base facilitated strong growth in the portfolio, which in turn resulted in an increase in rental income of 35% and an increase in net operating income of 90%. This result is a highly commendable achievement. Rapid growth stretches the operating platform of any business, but the team managed this well during year and the focus in the coming period will be on growing the capability and capacity of the organisation to continue to deliver sustainable growth.
Despite a year of solid performance, no fixed pay increases or variable pay were awarded to executive directors. In coming to this decision the committee considered the long-term incentive awards granted in 2017. The 2017 long-term incentives were designed to have a staggered unlocking (vesting) profile over five and six year periods respectively and to incentivise and reward executives over the short-and longer term. In addition, the long-term incentives carry rights to distributions on the shares, less the interest due on the loans to acquire such shares (with the exception of awards made to participants under the non-salaried variant of the scheme).
SHAREHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
At the annual shareholders' meeting held on 21 November 2017, 79% of shareholders who cast their votes endorsed the 2017 remuneration policy and 82.7% endorsed the implementation of the policy during 2017. In addition, 93.1% of shareholders supported the introduction of the share purchase scheme at the shareholders' meeting on 17 February 2017.
Significant time and energy has been devoted to ensuring that increased transparency exists around the remuneration philosophy and policy, as well the level of awards made. In this regard, the committee has undertaken a detailed review of both peer and general market remuneration. The findings continue to shape and influence the policy and parameters around award levels and appropriate KPIs. The committee believes that the remuneration policy is effective in aligning individual, group and shareholder interests by providing a link between strategy, value creation, performance and reward.
RISK AND GOVERNANCE
REPORT OF THE REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE
Should 25% or more of the votes cast at the next annual shareholders' meeting be recorded against either the remuneration policy resolution or the implementation resolution, then:
- The committee will engage with shareholders to ascertain the reasons for their dissenting vote.
- Executive management will make specific recommendations to the remuneration committee as to how the legitimate and reasonable objections of shareholders might be addressed, either in the group's remuneration policy or through changes on how the remuneration policy is implemented, and the committee will decide, independent of executive management, how to best adapt the current scheme to address legitimate shareholder concerns.
Many shareholders have provided favourable feedback with respect to the remuneration policy of the group and have voted accordingly at the last annual shareholders' meeting. However, in the interests of transparency, shareholder concerns or questions raised are outlined below, together with the committee's response thereto:
| SHAREHOLDER QUESTIONS RAISED | RESPONSE / ACTION TAKEN |
|---|---|
| Incentive remuneration to executives should be clearly disclosed | Whilst such disclosure has always been made, the committee is satisfied that it has significantly enhanced the remuneration disclosure in line with best practice and the requirements of King IV. |
| Incentive remuneration should be subject to robust and stretching performance targets | As detailed further in Part 2, the short-term incentive (STI) scheme now clearly presents the financial, strategic and personal performance KPIs upon which awards are made. In addition, KPIs have also been set for awards under the LTI scheme (with the exception of new appointments where awards will be considered as part of the recruitment process and therefore not linked to KPIs). |
| Incentive plans that allow for loans to executives are inconsistent with best practice and should be eliminated | The long-term incentive (LTI) scheme that has been adopted is in essence a share option scheme, or share appreciation right scheme, as the loan to acquire shares is non-recourse. Accordingly, it is incorrect to view the scheme as simply a loan to executives to acquire shares. Rather, these are dividend paying options that vest over 5 or 6 years. |
| On early termination of employment, awards should be pro-rated and also tested for performance | Awards vest over 5 or 6 years and are therefore pro-rated for early termination, as departing employees forego unvested awards. The testing for performance is inherent in the scheme, in that the awards are essentially share options issued at market value. |
| STI and LTI are not adequately disclosed, detailed KPIs and the disclosure thereof is lacking | Disclosure in the current year has been significantly enhanced, in line with best practice and King IV. |
| Lack of LTI performance vesting conditions was queried | The LTI operates in a similar manner to a share option, or share appreciation right, scheme. Before participants stand to benefit from the LTI, the interest on the loan and the loan itself should be repaid (i.e. the exercise price must be paid). Accordingly, performance criteria are inherent in the scheme, in that forward-looking performance and the management of the group's cost of debt will have a substantial impact on the level of the award when exercised through the normal market valuation exercise, with positive performance enhancing share price at exercise and vice versa. However, going forward the KPIs will be considered as part of the award criteria, with the exception of new appointments where awards will be considered as part of the recruitment process and therefore not linked to KPIs. |
| The quantum and short vesting periods of the LTI were noted as a concern | The structure of the scheme necessitated an emphasis to a larger award to participants at inception, with further 'top-up' awards only dependent upon performance and the need to incentivise participants beyond the 5 or 6 year vesting period. Going forward smaller annual allocations will be made. This approach mitigates the risk for shareholders, the company and executives alike by averaging in the entry point for participants into the LTI scheme and reducing the annual cost impact for shareholders and the company. |
| In light of the larger awards to participants at inception of the LTI, a staggered vesting period in smaller increments over a long term (5 and 6 year periods respectively), was approved. | |
| No LTI awards were made in the year ended 30 June 2018. |

PART 2 – REMUNERATION POLICY
REMUNERATION PHILOSOPHY
MAS' remuneration philosophy is aimed at attracting, motivating and retaining the best talent available to facilitate the group meeting its strategic objectives. Remuneration is considered to four specific categories of employees and directors:
i. Executive directors
ii. Senior management
iii. Employees
iv. Non-executive directors
REMUNERATION STRUCTURE AND DESIGN
In considering the appropriate remuneration for each specific category of employee and directors, the group considers the following elements of remuneration:
TOTAL GUARANTEED PACKAGE
| COMPONENT | TYPE | ELIGIBILITY | OBJECTIVE AND POLICY |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed | Basic salary | i. Executive directors (excluding non-salaried variant participants) | |
| ii. Senior management | |||
| iii. Employees | The level of salary offered is intended to attract, retain, and motivate high calibre, talented individuals. | ||
| Pay reflects both market demand and the individuals' skills, experience, responsibility and accountability. Base salaries are regularly benchmarked against the market. | |||
| In order to align with the year-end of the group, base-salary reviews will form part of the annual staff appraisal process conducted after the annual results are available each year. Salaries are typically adjusted for inflation each year, with increases dependent upon increasing seniority, experience and demonstrated ability. | |||
| Following approval by shareholders of the share purchase scheme on 17 February 2017, the chief financial officer at the time moved onto the non-salaried variant of the scheme with effect from that date. | |||
| Fixed | Benefits (including death in service, income protection and holiday purchase scheme) | i. Executive directors (excluding non-salaried variant participants) | |
| ii. Senior management | |||
| iii. Employees | Provide employees with security and personal flexibility to increase motivation. The policy is to provide base level benefits that reflect the market norm. |

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE
To date, STI payments to participants under the salaried variant of the share purchase scheme were the distributions received from the participants' scheme shares less the interest due on the loans received to acquire them. In addition, discretionary cash top-up payments based on individual KPIs can be awarded to participants (participants under the non-salaried variant of the scheme did not qualify for any STI payments).
Going forward, STI awards to participants on the salaried variant of the share purchase scheme will be determined using a detailed individual KPI scorecard. STI awards paid to participants will be reduced by the net distribution received in cash from the participants scheme shares.
| COMPONENT | TYPE | ELIGIBILITY | OBJECTIVE AND POLICY |
|---|---|---|---|
| Variable | Cash bonus | i. Executive directors (excluding non-salaried variant participants) | |
| ii. Senior management | |||
| iii. Employees | The objective of the STI is to motivate and incentivise delivery of performance in the short term. | ||
| Short term incentives are paid in cash and based on company and individual performance against pre-agreed targets during the financial year. Appraisals are done in October of each year as part of the holistic remuneration review process. Cash payments of short term incentives in excess of 50% of an individual's base salary will be deferred by 12-months and will be paid subject to the individual remaining in full-time employment with the group during and up to the end of the deferred period. | |||
| The KPI targets for executive directors are presented in detail later in this report. | |||
| The cash bonus award to participants on the salaried variant of the share purchase scheme, explained in detail below, is reduced by the element of distribution received from the share purchase scheme. | |||
| Non-executive directors and non-salaried variant participants on the share purchase scheme do not participate in short-term incentive awards. | |||
| Variable | Share purchase scheme distributions | i. Salaried variant of share scheme participants only | The two variants of the share purchase scheme are described below. Salaried variant participants of the scheme are entitled to the distributions on the scheme shares held by participants, less the interest due on the loans to acquire such shares. Such net distributions received are offset against the cash bonus award element indicated above. |

| COMPONENT | TYPE | ELIGIBILITY | OBJECTIVE AND POLICY |
|---|---|---|---|
| Variable | Share purchase scheme awards - SALARIED VARIANT | i. Executive directors (excluding non-salaried variant participants) | |
| ii. Senior management | The LTI scheme is designed to ensure that participants are motivated and focused on delivering sustained long-term performance, thereby aligning their interests with those of shareholders. |
A share purchase scheme was approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting on 17 February 2017 and is the only LTI scheme currently available. This is an invitation only scheme, with participants invited to participate at a level determined by their contribution and performance against KPIs. There are two variants to the scheme – a salaried variant and a non-salaried variant. This section details the salaried variant.
Eligible participants are given loans to acquire newly issued shares in the company at prevailing market value, with no discount. The loans attract interest at a rate equal to the group's weighted average cost of debt, and are non-recourse loans. The non-recourse nature of the loans means that the share purchase scheme is in substance a share option, or share appreciation right, scheme.
Shares unlock (vest) equally over a 5-year period and participants are only entitled to dispose of unlocked shares. Proceeds from any disposal of unlocked shares are firstly used to repay the corresponding loan and accrued but unpaid interest, with any surplus (capital gain) being distributed to the participant.
The total return to participants from the salaried variant of the share purchase scheme is the capital gain on unlocked shares, plus any distributions received, net of interest, on scheme shares. From the 2019 financial year, any distributions received, net of interest paid on the related loans, are deducted from the cash bonus awarded as part of the STI scheme as indicated above.
This LTI scheme provides a strong alignment of interest, as it focuses participants on several important and carefully designed factors:
- Growing the level of the distribution on a sustainable basis;
- Reducing the cost of debt in order to enhance the distribution paid
- Growing the long-term value of the business, which will translate in time to appreciation in the share price; and
- Retaining employees through the 5-year unlocking (vesting) period.
On inception of the scheme, outsize awards were made on a one-off basis to commence the LTI scheme and ensure adequate alignment of interest. Going forward, awards will only be made to existing participants on the basis of specific KPIs, which are detailed below. The quantum of new awards will be considered in light of existing awards held. Initial awards to new appointments will be considered as part of the recruitment process and therefore not be linked to KPIs. |

| Variable | Share purchase scheme awards - NON-SALARIED VARIANT | i. Executive directors - non-salaried variant participants only | There is only one participant on the non-salaried variant of the share scheme. It is not anticipated that further participants will be invited to participate in the non-salaried variant of the scheme. |
| As with the salaried variant of the share purchase scheme, the non-salaried variant is designed to ensure that participants are motivated and focused on delivering sustained long-term performance, aligning their interests with those of shareholders. | |||
| Eligible participants are provided with loans to acquire newly issued shares in the company at prevailing market value, with no discount. The loans attract interest at a rate equal to the group's weighted average cost of debt and are non-recourse loans. The non-recourse nature of the loans means that the share purchase scheme is in substance a share option, or share appreciation right, scheme. | |||
| Shares in the non-salaried variant of the scheme unlock (vest) over a 6-year period, at 15% per annum for the first 4 years and 20% for the last 2 years. Proceeds from any disposal of unlocked shares are firstly used to repay the corresponding loan and accrued but unpaid interest, with any surplus (capital gain) distributed to the participant. | |||
| A key difference between the salaried and non-salaried variant share purchase schemes relates to the distributions on the shares. Any distributions received are first used to pay the interest on the loan, and any surplus is used to reduce the capital balance of the loan on a pro-rata basis. | |||
| The total return to participants from the non-salaried version of the share purchase scheme is therefore the gain on unlocked (vested) shares over the amount of the loan, when exercised. | |||
| This scheme provides a strong alignment of interest, as it focuses participants on several important and carefully designed factors: | |||
| - Growing the long-term value of the business, which will translate in time to appreciation in the share price; | |||

| - Reducing the cost of debt in order to enhance the distribution paid; and | |||
| - Retaining employees through the 6-year unlocking (vesting) period. | |||

COMPOSITION OF REMUNERATION
I. EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
Executive director remuneration is structured to balance both the short and long-term objectives of the group and to enhance the alignment of interests with stakeholders. Remuneration is reviewed annually by the committee to ensure that the various components of total guaranteed package, short-term incentives and long-term incentives remain appropriate relative to market, the performance of the company and the performance and contribution of the individual.
As indicated above, Malcolm Levy in his capacity as chief financial officer as at 30 June 2018, is the only participant on the non-salaried variant of the share purchase scheme. Accordingly, he did not receive any guaranteed/base remuneration or short-term incentives.
As it is not the intention to make further awards under the non-salaried variant of the share purchase scheme, the discussion below relates specifically to the policy for salaried variant participants of the scheme.
PACKAGE DESIGN
Executive remuneration is weighted toward variable remuneration. Below we set out the potential executive director and prescribed officer total remuneration including total guaranteed pay (TGP), short-term incentive (STI) and long-term incentive (LTI) at different levels of performance. The graphs set out the level of remuneration at threshold performance, at targeted performance and at stretch target or outperformance for salaried directors assuming, for illustrative purposes, a base salary of €100,000 and a 75% on-target STI level (based on grading).

REPORT OF THE REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE
TOTAL GUARANTEED PACKAGE
Annual benchmarking takes place to compare the base packages of the executive team with the market. Benchmarking is undertaken against several peer categories, namely: European listed real estate peers, South African listed real estate peers (taking into consideration cost of living differentials) and alternative executive remuneration in the location in which the executive is employed. Increases are awarded in line with inflation and changes in the market environment, in order to retain the appropriate talent.
VARIABLE REMUNERATION – SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE
STI FORMULA:
From 2019, executives in the salaried variant of the share purchase scheme will receive a cash bonus that is the difference between the Total STI, based upon their performance scorecard according to the formula below, and the net distributions received from the share purchase scheme as described above.


ON-TARGET STI LEVEL (BASED ON GRADING) FOR PARTICIPANTS
As a policy, the on-target STI level (based on grading) will range between 50% and 100% of base salary, depending on the role and seniority of the executive.
VESTING PERCENTAGES FOR STI SCORE
Each performance metric will have a threshold, target and stretch level assigned, resulting in a score of between 50% and 150% with linear interpolation being applied between scores. The vesting of the on-target STI will therefore be modified relative to the achievement of the threshold (50%), target (100%) and stretch (150%) performance targets.
STI SCORE – COMPANY AND INVIDUAL PERFORMANCE METRICS
The STI scorecard for executive directors comprises a combination of company (general and individual hard metrics) and individual performance soft metrics. The proposed company and individual performance metrics are as follows:
| METRIC | SPECIFIC KPI | KPI TARGET | WEIGHTING |
|---|---|---|---|
| Company performance - general | Growth in distribution per share | ||
| Growth in EPRA net asset value | |||
| Cost-income ratio | Determined annually | 50% | |
| Company performance - individual hard metrics | KPIs specific to individual - hard metrics | Refer to page 77 | 30% |
| Individual performance - soft metrics | Board and peer review score based upon: | ||
| Leadership | |||
| Motivation | |||
| Teamwork | |||
| Soft outcomes | Board scorecard out of 10 | ||
| 360 degree scorecard out of 10 | 20% |
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS SPECIFIC TO INDIVIDUAL – HARD METRICS
The proposed key performance indicators to be used to assess executive management performance (hard metrics) include the following:
CEO
Organic growth rate of portfolio
Access to and implementation of pipeline
Access to and implementation of indirect property deals
Management of joint venture relationships
Balance sheet optimisation
Responsibility for overall risk management
Management, implementation and improvement of corporate governance framework
Strategic formulation and implementation
CFO

VARIABLE REMUNERATION – LONG-TERM INCENTIVE
AWARD POLICY AND LIMITS
The long-term incentive rewards long-term decisions that support distributions and capital growth.
As discussed above, the share purchase scheme is in substance a share option, or share appreciation right, scheme. It is anticipated that further awards will only be made using the salaried variant of the scheme and the quantum awarded will be considered on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the quantum of existing awards as well as sign-on and recruitment needs.
An aggregate limit of 19,029,191 shares, equating to approximately 2.95% of the current issued share capital of the company applies to the share purchase scheme. 7,850,000 shares, equating to approximately 1.22% of the current issued share capital of the company have been issued to employees as part of the share purchase scheme and are outstanding.
PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS AND MEASUREMENT
The expected value, or fair value at grant date, of awards under the share scheme, will be determined as follows:

The face value of the award (amount of loan granted to acquire shares) will be determined as follows:

AWARD ALLOCATION % (BASED ON GRADING)
As a policy, a range between 50% and 100% of total guaranteed package, expressed in expected value, will be awarded annually, depending on the role and seniority of the executive. The award allocation % is adjusted by the LTI score, to incorporate historical performance in the quantum of the LTI awards.
LTI SCORE
Performance conditions are measured over a 12-month period preceding the award date and are used as award criteria to determine the LTI score. Each performance metric will have a threshold, target and stretch level assigned, resulting in a score of between 33.33% and 100% with linear interpolation being applied between scores. The LTI score will be modified relative to the achievement of the threshold (33.3%), target (66.6%) and stretch (100%) performance targets.
FACE VALUE MULTIPLIER %
As the loans granted to acquire shares under the scheme are essentially options, the Face value multiplier % is the multiplier that determines the Face value of loan to be given to a participant to transfer to that participant a right equivalent in value to the Expected value of the award (or fair value of the option). The face value multiplier takes into account the type of instrument and usual valuation criteria of an option that determine the value of the option as a fraction of the value of the stock price at issue date. As a policy, the Face value multiplier % is capped at 400%, or 4 times annual salary.
The following performance conditions, weightings and targets measured over a 12-month period preceding the award date will be used as award criteria to determine the LTI score. Linear vesting on a sliding scale will be applied between threshold and stretch performance:
| SPECIFIC KPI | KPI TARGET | WEIGHTING |
|---|---|---|
| STI scorecard | Determined annually | 20% |
| Growth in per annum distribution per share relative to peer group | Determined annually | 30% |
| Annual share price performance relative to peer group | Determined annually | 30% |
| Strategic outcomes | 20% |
The peer group will be determined by the committee annually in advance.
Linear interpolation will be applied between the above performance levels.
EXECUTIVE CONTRACTS
The main terms of the service contracts applicable to executive directors are summarised below:
| PROVISION | POLICY |
|---|---|
| Contract term | Executive contracts represent continuous employment |
| Notice period | 3 – 6 months |
| Termination of employment and change of control payments and/or automatic vesting of long-term incentives | Change of control provisions are covered by the share scheme and allow for full unlocking (vesting) of awards on a change of control. |
| Restraint of trade | 1 year, standard industry restraint |
| Other benefits | Salaried variant participants receive death in service and income protection. There are no benefits for the non-salaried variant of the share purchase scheme. |
RISK AND GOVERNANCE
REPORT OF THE REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE
II. SENIOR MANAGEMENT
Senior management remuneration is structured in a similar manner to executive remuneration, with the aim to balance both the short and long-term objectives of the group and to enhance the alignment of interests with stakeholders. Remuneration is reviewed annually by the committee to ensure that the various components of total guaranteed package, short-term incentives and long-term incentives remain appropriate relative to market, the performance of the company and the performance and contribution of the individual.
Total guaranteed package consists of base salary and benefits. As with executive directors, fixed awards are benchmarked to industry on a regular basis to ensure that pay levels remain attractive to retain key employees.
Short-term and long-term incentives also work in a manner similar to executive directors on the salaried variant of the share purchase scheme. STI awards are capped at levels appropriate to the role and seniority of the member of senior management and the level of award is based upon the appraisal outcome and the level of the performance of the group. Further share purchase scheme awards may be made to senior management, but as a policy these are limited to a loan equal to four times base salary on an annual basis.
III. EMPLOYEES
Employees receive fixed remuneration and a cash bonus only. The cash bonus is discretionary and is based upon the appraisals of the line manager, in conjunction with the level of both individual and organisation performance. Base salary adjustments are made as employees develop, and there is a strong emphasis on growth, development and providing a flexible working environment that matches the dynamic culture of the organisation.
IV. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
Non-executive directors receive a base fee and an additional fee for participation on the relevant subcommittees. They do not participate in the group's variable remuneration scheme, in order to avoid any potential conflict of interest and to maintain their independence. Non-executive directors are re-imbursed for their proper and reasonable costs incurred in conducting their activities and are entitled to request expert advice and input as required to fulfil their responsibilities.
Non-executive directors are appointed subject to the provisions set out in a letter of appointment. The letter sets out, amongst other things, the term of appointment, duties and responsibilities, fees and other payments, and provisions related to termination of services.
Non-executive director fees will be benchmarked annually and adjusted for inflation as appropriate. The fees recognise the responsibilities borne by the director throughout the year, in addition to the attendance of meetings and the requirements of the relevant sub-committees. The review undertaken at the end of the 2018 financial year has indicated that non-executive director fees for the company are below market-level and have been for some time. Accordingly, an adjustment to this fee level is proposed, as outlined below.
| Non-executive directors' fees proposed | ||
|---|---|---|
| Euro | 2018 | 2019 |
| Base retainer: | ||
| Board chair | 20,000 | 35,000 |

NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE
Shareholders will be requested to cast a non-binding advisory vote on the aforementioned Part 2 of this report at the upcoming annual shareholders' meeting.
PART 3: IMPLEMENTATION
EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
TOTAL GUARANTEED PACKAGE/BASE SALARY ADJUSTMENTS
None of the executive directors received any basic salary adjustments during 2018 and Malcolm Levy, in his capacity as chief financial officer, remained on the non-salaried variant of the share scheme.
2018 SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE OUTCOMES
During the 2018 financial year, no cash bonuses under the STI were made to directors, other than to the extent that dividends exceeded the group's weighted average borrowing cost on the salaried variant of the scheme.
2018 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE UNLOCKING/VESTING
During the year, the first tranche of awards to participants vested (unlocked), as follows on page 79:

Notes
1. Includes net distributions received on SPP shares during the year. Distributions in respect of non-salaried SPP participants repay capital and interest on the participants loan account, therefore no net qualifying distributions are received. Distributions in respect of salaried participants first repay interest on the participants loan account any net proceeds are received by the participant and included in net qualifying distributions.
2. The portion of the award vesting within 12 months after year-end is calculated as: (Number of awards x YE VWAP) - pro-rata balance of loan relating to that tranche. As the options are out-of-money at the end 2017 and 2018, these values are nil.
The portion of the award vesting more than 12 months after year-end is calculated as: Number of awards x indicative fair value per option. The fair value of the options has based upon the same assumptions and approach as the IFRS 2 grant date valuation, save for the current price and term of the option.
3. In order to secure the services of Morrel Wilken on a full-time basis, the sum of £500,000 (approximately €564,250) was awarded and paid as recognition that he would forfeit in-the-money incentive scheme benefits by becoming CEO of MAS. This amount is repayable on a pro-rata basis should he cease to be employed by the company from 1 January 2018 and accordingly £16,667 (approximately €18,809) (£500,000 (approximately €564,250) divided by 30 months) is expensed monthly and recognised as a benefit paid to him. For the purpose of the sign on bonus included in the table, I unit equal €1.

NOMINATION ASPECTS OF THE COMMITTEE
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE COMMITTEE
The committee is responsible for the following as set out in its terms of reference:
- Ensure that the formal and transparent process for the identification and appointment of directors to the board and the evaluation of its composition remains appropriate;
- Review the skills, knowledge and diversity of the board in light of changing business dynamics;
- Perform an annual performance assessment of the board and individual directors;
- Ensure that formal succession plans are developed and implemented for executive and non-executive board members and senior management;
- Oversee the induction of any new directors and confirm that a programme of continuous professional development for existing directors is in place;
- Annually assess the independence status of non-executive directors to ensure their classification as independent has not been compromised or prejudiced in any way;
- Consider the performance and contribution of directors and instigate action plans where performance or contribution does not meet expectations;
-
Consider the re-election of non-executive directors required to retire by rotation; and
-
Find, and recommend to the board, a replacement for the chief executive officer when that becomes necessary.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the committee is to assess and ensure that the composition, skills, knowledge and diversity of the board are appropriate given the challenges and opportunities facing the business.
BOARD COMPOSITION
At year end there were eight directors on the board, of which five are non-executive. Four of the non-executive directors are independent. Paul Osbourn and Werner Alberts joined the board on 7 September 2018. Paul Osbourn joined in an executive capacity and was appointed as chief financial officer on 2 October 2018. Paul is a Fellow of the Institute of
MAS REAL ESTATE INC INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2018
RISK AND GOVERNANCE
REPORT OF THE REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE
Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and comes with significant financial and corporate finance experience. Werner Alberts joined as an independent non-executive director. Werner is a qualified chartered accountant with over twenty-four years' experience in the finance industry and comes with a wealth of relevant experience and his appointment enhances the level of independent oversight on the board. Their biographies are included on pages 54 to 55.
The committee is satisfied with the performance, skills and competence of the board. An individual profile self-assessment of each board member and overall board culture review has recently been undertaken. This provides valuable insight on board dynamics and will assist to further enhance the functioning of the board and aid the evaluation of future appointees.
The interests of each independent non-executive director are monitored to ensure their independence is not compromised and a review with reference the requirements of King IV is conducted to ensure their independence remains. The committee is satisfied that Ron Spencer, Gideon Oosthuizen, Glynnis Carthy, Werner Alberts and Pierre Goosen remain independent in both character and judgement and comply with the independence requirements of King IV.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Directors adhere to the conflicts of interest policy which is reviewed and approved on an annual basis and requires each director to submit a declaration of financial, economic and other interests that might affect their objectivity, at least annually and whenever a change occurs to such interests.
APPOINTMENT TERMS
All non-executive directors are provided with a letter of appointment setting out the terms of their appointment and their expected commitment to the role. Directors are not appointed for a fixed term but one third of the non-executive directors are required to retire by rotation each year and may offer themselves for re-election. An independent non-executive director holding office for nine-years or more is subject to an independence assessment by the committee, following which any re-appointment can be recommended on a rolling one-year basis.
All directors are expected to attend board meetings of which there are at least three per annum, in addition to attendance at committee meetings of which they are a member. The board charter and the appointment letter permits a director to obtain independent advice in connection with their duties and MAS has directors and officers liability insurance in place that covers the full term of their appointment.
DIRECTORS' RE-ELECTION
One-third of the non-executive directors retire by rotation at the annual shareholders' meeting.
This year, Ron Spencer and Jaco Jansen retire by rotation. Both directors have made themselves available for re-election.
It is noted that Ron Spencer and Jaco Jansen have been on the board for nine-years. Both were evaluated by the committee as being competent directors and they dedicated sufficient time to discharge their responsibilities to the board and the committees on which they serve.
The committee further assessed the continuing independence of Ron Spencer due to his tenure of nine-years on the board and is satisfied that he remains independent in both character and judgement and complies with the independence requirements of King IV.
The committee therefore recommends Ron Spencer and Jaco Jansen for re-election. Due to Ron Spencer's existing tenure of nine-years, the committee recommends Ron's re-election for a period of one-year, at which point the board will reassess his continued independence as chairman of MAS.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Morné Wilken, the current chief executive officer of the group, has resigned with effect from 14 December 2018. Morné and his family have not settled in the Isle of Man and as such Morné accepted an offer to become the chief executive officer of a listed property company based in South Africa. This gives him and his family the opportunity to relocate back to South Africa. Upon Morné Wilken's departure, Malcolm Levy will act as interim CEO, until a permanent replacement has been appointed.
DEVELOPING PEOPLE AT MAS
The board recognises the importance of developing people and adding to the skills set on an ongoing basis. This is particularly relevant for succession planning in respect of senior positions in the group. Directors are also encouraged and supported to enhance and develop their skills and contribution to the board, for example, by completing the Institute of Directors programme.
PRIORITIES FOR THE YEAR AHEAD
In the 2019 year, the committee will review and assess the implementation of the remuneration policy and focus on the induction and integration of new members to the board.
CONSIDERATIONS OF THE COMMITTEE
This report has been prepared in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements, Rules and Regulations of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, King IV and other applicable regulation. The committee is satisfied that the independence and objectivity of the members has not been compromised in any way and that it has discharged its responsibilities during the period.

RON SPENCER
(independent non-executive director)
JONATHAN KNIGHT
(Executive director)
As Chair of the Governance, Social and Ethics Committee (GSEC or committee), I am pleased to present the committee's report for the year ended 30 June 2018.
The Governance Committee was expanded in December 2017 to the GSEC and this report provides an overview of how the committee is governed, its responsibilities and how the committee discharged its duties during the year.
KEY FOCUS AREAS
The committee spent time this year concentrating on the impact and integration of King IV to the business. A full review of MAS' board charter, committee terms of reference, policies and frameworks was undertaken during the year to ensure compliance with King IV. In addition, it rolled out new codes of ethics and conduct for three important components of the organisation, being directors, employees and suppliers. These codes, together with the statement on modern slavery have been successfully disseminated throughout the group and key suppliers' terms are updated on an ongoing basis to ensure continued compliance with the code and the statement.
The committee oversees the appropriateness of the King IV application register, which was a key exercise undertaken during the year. The committee also reviewed the composition and mandate of its community investment working group and the changes made have provided more autonomy to employees with regard to decision-making on specific charitable projects.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE COMMITTEE
The committee is responsible for:
- Oversight and reporting on organisational ethics, responsible corporate citizenship, sustainable development and stakeholder relationships;
- Oversight of compliance with applicable laws, rules, codes and standards;
- Reviewing recommendations concerning any changes with regard to compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements, the Rules and Requirements of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and King IV on corporate governance;
- Reviewing and developing the group's Corporate Governance Framework;
- Oversight of the codes of ethics and conduct for the board, employees and suppliers and policies including conflicts of interest, whistleblowing and share dealing;
- Reviewing processes and policies around activities in the workplace generally and in property development;
- Reviewing the health and safety protocols to ensure they are appropriate throughout the business;
- Reviewing the employee handbook and ensuring that the employee policies, procedures, welfare and training are appropriate to demonstrate ethical leadership, performance and behavior at work;
- Oversight of the corporate social responsibility and charitable giving policies; and
- Ensuring that a stakeholder-inclusive approach to governance is adopted to enhance stakeholder communication and engagement.
COMPOSITION
The committee comprises two independent non-executive directors and one executive director. All committee members collectively have sufficient qualifications and experience to fulfil their duties. The committee is required to meet at least once a year. During the six-month period since its formation to 30 June 2018 the committee held two meetings. Attendance at the meetings was as follows:
| DIRECTOR | GOVERNANCE, SOCIAL AND ETHICS COMMITTEE ATTENDANCE | % |
|---|---|---|
| Pierre Goosen | ●● | 100% |

| Jonathan Knight | ●● | 100% |

RISK AND GOVERNANCE
REPORT OF THE GOVERNANCE, SOCIAL AND ETHICS COMMITTEE
The committee's key areas of focus at each of the meetings were as follows:
| DATE | MEETING |

| 13 March 2018 | - Review of the Corporate Governance Framework |
| - Consideration of the King IV compliance register | |
| - Review of the updated board charter | |
| - Review UK modern slavery statement | |

| - Commission appointment of external King IV analysis expert | |
| - Review codes of ethics and conduct for directors, employees and suppliers | |

| - Review report on subsidiary governance |
KING IV READINESS AND IMPLEMENTATION
King IV readiness has been a primary focus for the committee since formation and external experts were engaged to assess and address any perceived gaps between the application of King III and King IV. The committee has overseen the implementation of the King IV application register, which is available on the company's website www.masrei.com.
ESTABLISHING AN ETHICAL CULTURE
In working towards demonstrating compliance with King IV, the board introduced codes of ethics and conduct, for directors, employees and suppliers, on the recommendation of the committee. These codes underpin the high standards of behaviour and interaction expected throughout the business and in all dealings with third party suppliers. The tone and ethical culture stems from the top and the board, acting through the committee, ensure that this culture is encouraged and maintained. Increasing the awareness of the content of the codes and aligning the expectation of behaviour from leadership through to employees and suppliers has been a focus of MAS during the last 6 months.
SUSTAINABILITY IN DEVELOPMENT AND RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT
With activities in the workplace and health and safety matters forming part of its responsibilities, the committee commissioned an audit of site health and safety, engaging with an external consultant to oversee and assist MAS with the development of policies and procedures in this area for dissemination throughout our offices and property sites. The next stage of this project is well under way, and the committee receives regular reports regarding compliance with the health and safety protocols.
Acting with integrity is one of MAS' core values and ethical sourcing and ethical practices are fundamental to the business. MAS recognises that economic and other factors increase the risk of modern slavery, particularly in supply chains. MAS is committed to taking steps to reduce the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking and in this regard the committee has developed a Modern Slavery Statement which is available on the company's website at www.masrei.com. The statement explains the assessment undertaken, the actions already carried out and those to be progressed within the next 12 months, which include reaching out to partners to ensure that ethical standards are aligned.
The Investment Committee agrees the standards for the development activities within the group and the committee has tasked the Investment Committee with devising a sustainability framework to overlay the policy in respect of ethical and responsible development and property ownership.
RESPONSIBLE CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP
The committee oversees the working group established by the company to implement the community investment and charitable giving projects. It receives reports on progress and initiatives at every meeting and sets the annual budget. During the year projects included the continuation of the commitment to the Ikhaya le Themba community project in South Africa, together with participation and contributions to a variety of causes in the Isle of Man and the UK, such as the local foodbank, breast cancer support group, sepsis awareness, special care baby unit, homelessness, a charity for teenagers undergoing long-term medical care and a national charity offering practical help for those paralysed by spinal cord injury. It was pleasing to note the personal involvement of many employees in these endeavours.
STAKEHOLDER RELATIONSHIPS
Relationship capital is one of the five key capitals of MAS. The committee oversees how the business manages its stakeholder relationships, including inter alia, with its shareholders, regulatory bodies, employees, tenants and suppliers. The board recognises the importance and value of these relationships and the committee, on behalf of the board, monitors how these relationships are governed and nurtured.
The committee receives regular reports from the executive team and recommends policy enhancements where deemed necessary. Important initiatives for 2018 included the focus on suppliers' adherence to the code of conduct and Modern Slavery Statement and enhancing communication and alignment with shareholders, by engagement with investors relations experts and with a global shareholder analysis services provider. Investors' perception of overall governance within the business is particularly important to MAS and the committee has been actively involved with improving governance scores and ratings during the year by direct liaison with shareholders and third party analysts.
COMPLIANCE AND SUBSIDIARY GOVERNANCE
The monitoring of subsidiary compliance across the group was a
MAS REAL ESTATE INC INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2018
key focus this year and resulted in quarterly status reporting to the board on inter alia, statutory, tax and financial compliance. The committee approved a briefing paper and guidance on subsidiary governance and this has been, and continues to be, disseminated throughout the group as well as to third party services providers, setting the standard of governance and corporate compliance, both internally and with relevant suppliers. The intention is to develop this further in the next 12 months by introducing risk rated and specific spotlight corporate reviews.
Oversight of legal and regulatory compliance continues to be a principal responsibility of the committee and any amendments that could impact on the group are reported to the committee at each meeting or more frequently if necessary.
PRIORITIES FOR THE YEAR AHEAD
The committee's key areas of focus for the year ending 30 June 2019 are:
- Enhanced shareholder communication and engagement
- Focused health and safety audits
- Establishment of a sustainability framework to overlay the policy covering property development and ownership
- Implementation of enhanced subsidiary governance review programme
CONCLUSION
The committee is satisfied that is has discharged its duties under its terms of reference from the board.

The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether they have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB;
- Comply with JSE Listing Requirements and the Rules and Regulations of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange; and
- Prepare the financial statements on the going-concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume the group will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the group's transactions and disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, its financial position. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the group's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from one jurisdiction to another.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF MAS REAL ESTATE INC.
OPINION
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of MAS Real Estate Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Group") set out on pages 94 to 166, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the MAS Real Estate Inc. as at 30 June 2018 and its consolidated performance and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the IASB.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We have conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under these standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA code. We believe that the audit evidence which we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our audit opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

VALUATION OF INCOME-GENERATING INVESTMENT PROPERTY (€546.2M) 2017: €494.5M
Refer to note 17 for the significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions to the consolidated financial statements, which includes the accounting policies
| THE RISK | OUR RESPONSE |
|---|---|
| SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATE | |
| The Group's investment property portfolio, comprises of income-generating property, development property and landbanks. The income-generating investment property portfolio ("the investment portfolio"), makes up 47% of total assets by value and is considered to be the key driver of the Group's capital and revenue performance. |
The valuation of the group's income-generating investment properties is inherently subjective due to, among other factors, the individual nature of each property, its location and the expected future rentals for that particular property.
A property's valuation takes into account property-specific information such as occupancy rates, estimated rental value, risk adjusted discount rates and comparable transactions.
Due to the significance of the income-generating investment property portfolio to the financial statements and the complexity and significant judgement applied by the directors in the valuation models, the valuation of the income-producing investment property portfolio was considered a key audit matter. | Our audit procedures included, among others, the following:
CONTROL DESIGN:
- Evaluating controls over the valuation process.
TEST OF DETAILS:
- Obtaining details of each property held by the Group and setting an expected range for yield and capital value movement, determined by reference to published benchmarks and using our experience and knowledge of the market. We compared the investment yields used by the directors' independent external valuation expert with the range of expected yields and the year on year capital movement to our expected range. We also considered the reasonableness of other assumptions that are not so readily comparable with published benchmarks, such as Estimated Rental Value.
- Verifying, on a sample basis, the accuracy of the property information supplied to the directors' independent external valuation expert by management.
- Assessing the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the directors' independent external valuation expert by understanding the scope of their engagement and evaluating their qualifications;
BENCHMARKING ASSUMPTIONS:
- Involving our own internal valuation specialist in critically assessing the methodology used in the valuation of investment property and evaluating if it has been prepared on a comparable basis with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the IASB;
- Challenging the key assumptions used by the directors' independent external valuation expert, by benchmarking them against externally available data. This included evaluating the reasonableness of the occupancy rates, estimated rental value and risk adjusted discount rates, by comparing the discount rates used to available industry data and historical information taking into account entity specific risks.
ASSESSING TRANSPARENCY:
- Assessing the presentation and disclosure in respect of the income generating investment property portfolio held in the consolidated financial statements and considering whether all significant judgements, including observable and unobservable inputs, were adequately disclosed. |

VALUATION OF INVESTMENT IN EQUITY ACCOUNTED INVESTEE (€23.8M) 2017: €20.2M AND PREFERENCE SHARES (€ 105M) 2017: €101.1M.
Refer to notes 20 and 29 to the consolidated financial statements, which includes the accounting policies
| THE RISK | OUR RESPONSE |
|---|---|
| SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATE | |
| The Group owns a 40% equity interest in PKM Development Limited and has also invested €100m in the entity by way of preference shares. The activity of this entity is the development of commercial investment property in Romania. A decline in the valuation of investment property would deplete the equity interest prior to impacting the recoverability of the preference share receivable. |
The valuation of commercial investment property in Romania is inherently subjective due to, among other factors, the individual nature of each property, its location and the expected future rentals for that particular property.
Due to the aggregate exposure to the equity accounted investee and the complexity and significant judgement applied in the valuation of commercial investment property in Romania, the valuation of the equity accounted investee and the valuation of the investment in preference shares was considered a key audit matter. | Our audit procedures included, among others, the following:
TEST OF DETAILS:
- Verifying the Group's 40% ownership in the equity accounted investee by inspecting the agreement between the Group and other equity holders of the investee;
- Verifying the Group's €100m investment in preference shares of the equity accounted investee by inspecting the relevant agreements between the Group and the investee.
- Obtaining details of each property held by the equity accounted investee in Romania and setting an expected range for yield and capital value movement, determined by reference to published benchmarks and using our experience and knowledge of the market in Romania;
- Carrying out procedures, on a sample basis, to satisfy ourselves of the accuracy of the property information supplied to the directors' independent external valuation expert by management of the equity accounted investee;
BENCHMARKING ASSUMPTIONS:
- Involving our own internal valuation specialist in Romania in critically assessing the methodology used in the valuation of investment property of the equity accounted investee and evaluating if it has been prepared on a comparable basis with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the IASB;
- Challenging the key assumptions used by the management of the equity accounted investee independent external valuation expert, by benchmarking them against externally available data. This included evaluating the reasonableness of the occupancy rates, estimated rental value and risk adjusted discount rates, by comparing the discount rates used to available industry data and historical information taking into account entity specific risks.
ASSESSING TRANSPARENCY:
- Assessing the presentation and disclosure in respect of the equity accounted investee and preference shares in the consolidated financial statements and considering whether all significant judgements were adequately disclosed. |

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR, KPMG AUDIT LLC, TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF MAS REAL ESTATE INC. (CONTINUED)
OTHER INFORMATION
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all other information included in the Integrated Annual Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB, and for such internal controls as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements which are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternatives but to do so.
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures which are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner which achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
MAS REAL ESTATE INC INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2018
We communicated with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
THE PURPOSE OF OUR AUDIT WORK AND TO WHOM WE OWE OUR RESPONSIBILITIES
This report is made solely to the Group's shareholders, as a body. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Group's shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Group and the Group's shareholders as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2018
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The Company is domiciled in the British Virgin Islands. These financial statements as at, and for the year ended, 30 June 2018 comprise the consolidated financial statements of the group.
MAS is a real estate investment group with a portfolio of real estate investments across Europe. The group aims to deliver sustainable and growing distributions to shareholders over time.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the IASB, the JSE Listings Requirements, the Rules and Regulations of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and applicable legal and regulatory requirements of the BVI Business Companies Act 2004.
BASIS OF MEASUREMENT
These consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following items that are measured on the fair value basis:
- Financial instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss FVTPL, refer to notes 29 and 30;
- Financial investments, refer to note 19;
- Share-based payments, refer to 25;
- Investment property, refer to note 17; and
- Investment property held for sale, refer to note 23
The group uses observable market data as far as it is available to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based upon the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
Where the inputs used in the valuation technique fall into more than one category in the fair value hierarchy, the asset or liability is categorised into the lowest level input that is significant in the valuation of that asset or liability.
The group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change occurred.
USE OF JUDGEMENT AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
The board has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the group's accounting policies and the reported amounts in the financial statements. The directors continually evaluate these judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses based upon historical experience and on other factors that they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions.
The key areas of judgement are:
- Whether the acquisition of an investment property is a business combination: The group applies judgement to the acquisition of investment property to determine whether the acquisition is the acquisition of an asset, a group of assets or a business combination in the scope of IFRS 3 'Business Combinations'. The acquisitions during the year were not business combinations as the group did not acquire the strategic management. For property acquisitions refer to note 17.
- Sales of inventory property: Once a sale agreement contract is negotiated and a sale of investment property is agreed, the group assesses whether it is a continuous-sale transaction or a sale of goods transaction. The judgement is based on the terms and conditions of the sale agreement, which are comparable to the criteria set out in IFRIC 15 'Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate' and IAS 18 'Revenue', notwithstanding that the sale of inventory property is not income that arises in the ordinary activities of the group, refer to note 18.
- Preference shares - PKM Developments: The group is required to make judgements whether there is objective evidence that the preference shares may be impaired. The group has concluded there is no objective evidence that the preference shares are impaired, refer to note 29.
The key areas of estimation uncertainty are:
- Investment property and Investment property held for sale: External property valuation experts or, where relevant, firm offers from market participants are used to determine the fair value of investment property. The external property valuation experts use recognised valuation techniques and apply the principles of IFRS 13: Fair Value Measurement. The significant methods and assumptions used by the valuers in estimating fair value are set out in notes 17 and 23.

USE OF JUDGEMENT AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (CONTINUED)
- Loan commitments: The group committed to acquire PKM Developments preference shares, refer to note 20. Judgements are made to assess the market related rate of these loan commitments. The group applies judgement in reviewing the loan commitments made and determined that the cost of funding the loan commitment is lower than the rate to be charged; accordingly the loan commitment is neither onerous nor impaired.
- Continuous-sale transaction: The group entered into an agreement to dispose of the land that is designated for offices at New Waverley in Edinburgh, Scotland to Legal & General and to develop the office on a forward funding basis for Legal & General. The transaction has been accounted for as a continuous-sale transaction and the following assumptions have been made to estimate the costs of completion to determine the amounts of revenue recognised:
- Construction costs; and
- Stage of completion.
The significant methods and assumptions are set out in note 18.
- Financial instruments: In determining the fair value of financial instruments and financial investments measured at fair value through profit or loss, the group is required to make estimations of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The significant methods and assumptions used in estimating fair value are set out in note 30.

These consolidated financial statements are presented in euro which is the group's presentation currency.

3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS
The group adopted the following amendments to standards:
| Amendments/improvements to standards and interpretations adopted | Description |
|---|---|
| IAS 7 (Amendments) ‘Statement of Cash Flows’ | - Disclosure initiatives |
| IAS 12 (Amendments) ‘Income taxes’ | - Recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses |
| IFRS 12 (Amendments) ‘Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities’ | - Clarification of scope |
There has been no impact on the numbers reported or to the disclosures as a result of the adoption of the amendments to these standards.
NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED
Below is a summary of amendments/improvements to standards and interpretations that are not yet effective and were not early adopted:
| Amendments/improvements to standards and interpretations not yet effective | IASB effective for annual periods beginning on or after |
|---|---|
| IFRS 9 (2014) ‘Financial Instruments’ | 1 January 2018 |
| IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ | 1 January 2018 |
| IAS 40 – ‘Amendment to Clarify Transfers of Property to, or from, Investment Property’ | 1 January 2018 |
| IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ | 1 January 2019 |
IFRS 9 (2014) – ‘FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS’
The group early adopted IFRS 9 (2013) in the financial year ended 30 June 2015. The changes to IFRS 9 (2014) relate to the impairment model, which is based on the premise of recognising expected credit losses and will apply to financial assets measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income and loan commitments. The standard requires financial instruments that have not had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or that have low credit risk at the reporting date to recognise 12-month expected credit losses, being the expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
At 30 June 2018 the group held the following financial instruments that are in the scope of the impairment model: financial assets at amortised cost; cash and cash equivalents; and trade and other receivables (except prepayments). The group has assessed the potential impact resulting from the amendments and does not expect there to be any impact at this time as credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition and is assessed to be low, and no 12-month expected credit loss is likely. The group will adopt the new standard for the reporting period ending 30 June 2019.
IFRS 15 – ‘REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS’
The standard applies to all contracts with customers except for: lease contracts, financial insurance contracts, financial instruments and non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same business.
The majority of the group's income is rental income from leases, which are in the scope of IAS 17 and will not be affected by the change in this standard.
The sale of certain assets will be affected by the change in the standard. The accounting treatment for these sales has been considered under the existing IAS 18 and IFRIC 15 as well as the new IFRS 15 standards. The same conclusions have been made. It has been concluded that revenue will be recognised over a period of time using the input method as the measure of progress – with the performance obligations being the sale of the land and the development of the building.
The group will adopt the new standard for the year ending 30 June 2019.
IAS 40 – AMENDMENT TO CLARIFY TRANSFERS OF PROPERTY TO, OR FROM, INVESTMENT PROPERTY
The amendment clarifies whether a property under construction or development that was previously classified as inventory could be transferred to investment property when there is evidence of a change in use.
The group has assessed the impact of adopting the amendment to IAS 40 in respect of transfer to and from investment property and does not expect any impact.
The group will adopt the new amendment for the year ending 30 June 2019.
IFRS 16 – ‘LEASES’
The standard applies to all lease contracts. The changes require lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, substantially unchanged from IAS 17.
The group has a number of small leases in the scope of the new standard which are required to be recognised as right-of-use assets with corresponding lease liabilities in the group's statement of financial position. The impact is deemed to be immaterial.
The group will adopt the new standard for the year ending 30 June 2020.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
For the year ended 30 June 2018
4. SIGNIFICANT GENERAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
For specific accounting policies please refer to the corresponding notes.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FINANCIAL ASSETS
The group classifies its financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at amortised cost and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are recognised when the group becomes party to the contractual terms of the asset.
FINANCIAL ASSETS AT AMORTISED COST
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at amortised cost only if both the following criteria are met: the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Interest is the consideration for the time value of money and credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets classified as financial assets at amortised cost are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.
DERECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
The group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual terms of the asset expire.
IMPAIRMENT
A financial asset measured at amortised cost is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that an incurred loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected as either a direct impairment against the financial asset or in the case of trade and other receivables, in an allowance account against trade and other receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised to the extent that it is probable that the interest will be collected.
When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS
A financial asset is classified as fair value if it does not meet either criteria for classification of a financial asset at amortised cost. The group initially recognises these financial assets at fair value at the trade date and attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at fair value and changes therein are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they occur.
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
The group classifies its financial liabilities into the following categories: financial liabilities at amortised cost and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are recognised when the group becomes party to the contractual terms of the liability.
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS
Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value if they are: financial liabilities that are held for trading; derivative financial instruments; financial liabilities designated as fair value; financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial liability does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement applies; financial guarantees; and commitments to provide loans at a below-market interest rate.
The group may elect to designate financial liabilities as financial liabilities at fair value that would otherwise meet the criteria to be classified as a financial liability at amortised cost, if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise if the financial liability were measured at amortised cost.
The group initially recognises financial liabilities at fair value at trade date and attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at fair value and changes therein are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they occur.
MAS REAL ESTATE INC INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2018
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES AT AMORTISED COST
All financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost unless they meet the criteria for classification as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
These financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
DERECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
The group derecognises a financial liability when the contractual obligations of the liability expire, for example when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
BORROWING COSTS
Interest-bearing borrowings are allocated to either specific or general borrowings. Specific or general borrowing costs are capitalised if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale. These are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
EMPLOYEE COSTS
Employee benefits comprise the total costs of employment to the group, mainly consisting of; salary, annual leave, employment taxes, and the current expense in relation to the geared share purchase plan. These short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

5. RENTAL INCOME
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Rental income from investment properties leased out under operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are recognised as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.
Tenant lease incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The term of the lease is the non-cancellable period together with any further term for which the tenant has the option to continue the lease, where, at the inception of the lease, there is reasonable certainty that the tenant will exercise that option.
Turnover rent is contingent on the underlying performance of the tenant, as such it is recognised as incurred.

6. PROFIT ON SALES OF INVENTORY PROPERTY
ACCOUNTING POLICY
When the group enters into a contract to sell completed property, revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred from the group. Where the terms of the contract represent a continuous transfer of work in progress to the purchaser, revenue is recognised using the percentage of completion method as work progresses. Continuous transfer of work in progress is applied when:
- the land on which the property is being developed is owned by the purchaser;
- the buyer carries the risks and rewards of the incomplete property; and
- when the buyer cannot put the incomplete property back to the group.
The percentage of work completed is estimated based on the costs incurred to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of total costs expected to be incurred.

13. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE DIFFERENCES
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the presentation currency of the group at the rate of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the presentation currency at the rates prevailing at that date.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate at the date the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on the historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in profit or loss.
For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the group's foreign operations are expressed in euros using exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in equity in the foreign currency translation reserve, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to non-controlling interest. Such exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed of.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

| Foreign currency exchange differences | 22 | 1,020,787 | 4,684,895 |
The group has loans between group entities which are eliminated on consolidation. The translation differences arising on these intra-group loans are not eliminated and are recognised in profit or loss because they are not deemed to form part of the net investment in a foreign operation.
Where intra-group loans are denominated in the non-euro functional currency of the foreign operation and are from group entities with a euro functional currency, there is no translation difference recognised in profit or loss of the foreign operation. However, there is a translation difference recognised in profit or loss of the group entity with a euro functional currency. A translation difference on the foreign operation is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve when the intra-group loans of the foreign operation are translated into euros, the presentation currency of the group.
Exchange gains and losses arise from the revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities. It is not the policy of the group to hedge currencies held between euro, sterling, Swiss franc, Polish zloty and Bulgarian lev. As a result, translation differences arise predominantly from the intra-group loans to foreign operations.

15. TAX
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Income tax for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
CURRENT TAX
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the reporting period plus/ minus any adjustments to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates at the reporting date.
DEFERRED TAX
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the fiscal values used for tax purposes, except for the following temporary differences which are not provided for:
- Those arising from goodwill not deductible for tax purposes;
- Those arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting or taxable profit, and are not part of a business combination; and
- Those arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates where the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. For purposes of calculating deferred tax on investment property there is a rebuttable presumption that the carrying amount is realised through sale.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
DISCLOSURE
CURRENT TAX
The company is domiciled in the BVI and is not subject to tax in that jurisdiction. Operating subsidiaries of the group, however, are exposed to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate and, potentially, in the jurisdictions through which the subsidiary investment companies are held.

The Isle of Man domestic tax rate of 0% was considered the most meaningful rate on the basis that the profits are earned across several jurisdictions and none of those jurisdictions dominates the group's portfolio.
The other temporary differences relate to timing differences between the tax base and the carrying amount of the assets due to depreciation allowable for tax purposes and unused tax losses.
There has been no change in the applicable tax rates. The primary reason for the increase in the effective tax rate from 14.1% to 26.2% is as a result of changes in the geographical mix of profits.

16. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken at each reporting date or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest groups of assets that generate cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of the CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.
Other intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. They are amortised on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 10 years.

NEW WAYERLEY
The initial goodwill arising on New Waverley was allocated to the New Waverley development CGU and represented a portion of the estimated future value above the carrying amount of the New Waverley development. At acquisition the fair value of the New Waverley development could not be reliably determined. Accordingly, it was carried at cost. As construction progressed and a fair value became reliably determinable, the group measured the investment property in the New Waverley development CGU at fair value.
An impairment test was performed at 31 December 2017, as a result of the group fair valuing the investment property in the New Waverley development CGU. The carrying amount of the CGU, which included the goodwill, exceeded its recoverable amount, which resulted in all the goodwill attributable to the CGU being impaired.
An impairment of €1,274,346 (2017: €nil) was recognised as a result of the group's impairment test of the New Waverley goodwill.
The recoverable amount of the New Waverley goodwill was calculated using the fair value less costs to sell of the New Waverley business and is classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The majority of New Waverley net assets comprise investment property and investment property held for sale. The valuation techniques have been disclosed in note 17.

MAS REAL ESTATE INC INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2018
MAS PROP
No impairment loss was recognised as a result of the group's annual impairment test of goodwill in relation to MAS Prop (2017: €nil).
The recoverable amount of the MAS Prop CGU was based on the value in use, using a discounted cash flow methodology. Under the investment advisory agreement MAS Prop is entitled to a fee based upon the net asset value of the group. As a result of the significant growth in the group's net asset value, the cash flows over the remaining forecast period are substantially in excess of those originally forecast at the time of acquisition. Consequently, the value in use of the MAS Prop CGU is significantly higher than the carrying value of goodwill.
All cash flows in the value in use calculation were forecast for a period of 6 years (2017: 7 years) which is more than a 5 year projection as the cash flow forecasts are prepared for the remaining term of the pre-existing investment advisory agreement. Budgeted EBITDA was based on expectations of future outcomes taking into account past experience adjusted for anticipated net asset growth of the group and increases in operating expenses.
The following key assumptions were used to estimate value in use calculations as follows:
| Inputs | As at 30 June 2018 | As at 30 June 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-tax discount rate | 6.49% | 6.44% |
| Annual increase in revenue | 2.00% - 3.00% | 7.00% - 9.00% |
| Annual increase in operating expenses | 2.00% - 4.00% | 4.00% - 6.00% |
| Budgeted period | 6 years | 7 years |
The key assumptions were derived from the following:
PRE-TAX DISCOUNT RATE
Derived from the weighted average cost of capital of MAS Prop.
ANNUAL INCREASE IN REVENUE
Derived from the operating budgets of MAS Prop.
ANNUAL INCREASE IN OPERATING EXPENSES
Derived from the operating budgets of MAS Prop.
BUDGETED PERIOD
Derived from the remaining term of the pre-existing investment advisory agreement.
No cash flows have been assumed beyond the budgeted period, and accordingly no growth is assumed beyond the forecast period. Management has determined that a reasonably possible change to the key assumptions would not result in an impairment.

17. INVESTMENT PROPERTY
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Investment property comprises freehold land, leasehold land, buildings and installed equipment held for the purpose of earning rental income and for capital appreciation. Investment property also includes property under construction for future use as investment property and property which has a currently undetermined use.
Investment property is treated as a long-term investment and is initially recognised at cost (including related transaction costs unless acquired as part of a business combination). It is subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes therein recognised in profit or loss. Subsequent expenditure that produces future economic benefit to the group is capitalised.
Fair value is based on a number of assumptions and inputs utilising the below methods;
- The market approach is based on comparing the subject asset with identical or similar assets for which price information is available, such as a comparison with market transactions in the same, or closely similar, type of asset within an appropriate time horizon.
- The income approach is based on capitalisation or conversion of present and predicted income (cash flows), which may take a number of different forms, to produce a single current capital value. Among the forms taken, capitalisation of a conventional market-based income or discounting of a specific income projection can both be considered appropriate depending on the type of asset and whether such an approach would be adopted by market participants.
- The cost approach is based on the economic principle that a purchaser will pay no more for an asset than the cost to obtain one of equal utility whether by purchase or construction.
External valuations, where applicable, are performed by independent professional valuers who hold recognised and relevant professional qualifications and have recent experience of valuing that type and location of investment property.
Development property and land bank are initially recognised at cost and subsequently remeasured to fair value. The fair value of development property and land bank is not always reliably determinable due to the properties being in the early stages of construction or where construction has not yet begun. Where fair value cannot be reliably determined, but the group expects that the fair value will be reliably determinable when construction is further progressed, the group measures such properties at cost less impairment until such point in time that the fair value can be reliably determined. Where fair value cannot be reliably determined and there are indicators of impairment the recoverable amount is estimated. In this situation, the recoverable amount is determined using a value in use calculation, because the fair value less costs to sell cannot be reliably determined. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss. Gains or losses arising from the disposal of investment property, being the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount, are recognised in profit or loss.

ACQUISITIONS
On 3 May 2018 the group acquired the entire issued share capital of New Uberior House Limited, which owns two adjoining commercial buildings known as Princes Exchange and New Uberior House in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. The acquisition price was €80,123,500 but the group paid €79,650,439 as the group retained €473,061, which will be released to the vendor conditional upon future rent reviews, refer to note 30. The fair value of the net assets acquired at acquisition were: Investment property €80,123,500; trade and other receivables €141,030; cash and cash equivalents €1,502,600; and trade payables €2,223,955. The acquisition was not accounted for as a business combination as the group did not acquire the strategic management of New Uberior House Limited.
INTEREST-BEARING BORROWINGS
Bank borrowings of €242,713,107 (2017: €147,213,397) are secured against investment property, refer to note 28. The group has designated bank borrowings drawn down in the period of €104,067,925 as general borrowings (2017: €111,657,786). During the reporting period interest costs on general borrowings of €570,385 (2017: €569,298), refer to note 28, have been capitalised and are included within land bank and inventory property, refer to note 18.
CAPITAL COMMITMENTS
The group has capital commitments of €64,866,015 (2017: €78,840,105) in respect of capital expenditures contracted for at the reporting date, refer to note 39. In addition, €118,800,000 has been committed for the purchase of investment property after the reporting date, refer to note 39.
RELATED PARTIES
The group has a development management arrangement with New Waverley Advisers, a related party, for the development and construction of the New Waverley site in Edinburgh. A cumulative development management fee of €4,701,505 (2017: €4,052,171) and priority participating dividend of €6,912,756 (2017: €6,078,256) have been recognised in relation to the New Waverley development, refer to note 30.

MEASUREMENT OF FAIR VALUES
VALUATION PROCESS FOR LEVEL 3 INVESTMENT PROPERTY
On an annual basis the fair value of investment property is determined, where applicable, by external independent property valuation experts or, where relevant, firm offers from market participants. External valuers have appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued. For details of the respective valuers used refer to page 168.
For all investment properties their current use equates to the highest and best use. The external valuations received are initially reviewed by the relevant internal asset manager and compared to the expectation of what fair value would be for individual investment properties. If the asset manager agrees with the valuation, the valuation reports are then checked by the finance team to confirm their numerical and methodological accuracy. The reports are then passed to the Portfolio Management Committee and Investment Committee for approval. Lastly, the investment property valuations are reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee prior to the finalisation of the financial statements.
FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

VALUATION TECHNIQUE AND SIGNIFICANT UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS
The following table shows the valuation technique used in measuring the fair value of investment property, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.
As at 30 June 2018
| Investment property type | Valuation technique | Significant unobservable inputs | Inter-relationship between key unobservable inputs and fair value measurement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Income-generating property | Discounted cash flows: | ||
| The valuation model considers the present value of net cash flows to be generated from the property, taking into account expected rental growth rates, void periods, occupancy rates, lease incentive costs such as rent-free periods and other costs not paid by tenants. The expected net cash flows are discounted using risk-adjusted discount rates. Among other factors, the discount rate estimation considers the quality of a building and its location, tenant credit quality and lease terms. | • Risk adjusted discount rates | ||
| • Estimated rental value | |||

| • The estimated rental value was higher/(lower) | |||
| • The reversionary discount rate was lower/(higher) | |||
| • The risk adjusted discount rate was lower/(higher) | |||
| Purchase price: | |||
| The valuation model takes into account the recent acquisition price no earlier than three months before the reporting date, equivalent to the amount a third party would be willing to pay. | • Purchase price | The estimated fair value would increase/(decrease) if: | |
| • The number of the interested parties was higher/(lower) and/or, | |||

18. INVENTORY PROPERTY
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Inventory property is measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs to make the sale. The cost of inventory comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventory to its present location and condition.

On 13 July 2017 the group entered into a lease with the UK Government ("the Pre-let Agreement") for the office component of the New Waverley development in Edinburgh, Scotland ("the Pre-let Office"). The Pre-let Agreement encompasses a lease with a UK Government guarantee, for a term of 25 years commencing upon practical completion of the development.
Under the terms of the Pre-let Agreement, the group is obligated to pay £21,593,520 (approx. €24,368,287) for the office fit-out when the UK Government takes occupation of the Pre-let Office. This is referred to as the capital contribution to the UK Government in relation to the office fit-out ("capital contribution"). The group is also committed to granting the UK Government a rent-free period of 7 months.
On 17 October 2017, the group entered into an agreement to dispose of the office land at New Waverley to Legal & General ("Disposal of Land") and to develop the Pre-let Office on a forward-sold basis for Legal & General ("the Forward Funding Agreement"). In terms of the Forward Funding Agreement, the group has sold the rights and obligations of the Pre-let Agreement to Legal & General. Therefore, Legal & General has acquired the land, the Pre-let Agreement and the obligations for the rent-free period and the capital commitment from MAS and appointed MAS to develop the Pre-let Office under the Forward Funding Agreement. The Forward Funding Agreement provides for funds to be drawn down by the group, as developer, from Legal & General against development costs incurred. The group received £20,841,671 (€23,490,647) for the sale of the office land.
The amounts relating to the rent-free period and the capital contribution are included in the development costs and are funded by Legal & General under the Forward Funding Agreement subject to there being sufficient developer profits. Accordingly, the group has recognised:
- a financial liability of €24,507,316 due to the UK Government in respect of the capital contribution, refer to note 30; and a financial asset of €24,507,316 due from Legal & General in respect of the capital contribution, refer to note 29. The financial liability and financial asset have not been offset because the offsetting criteria in IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation, have not been met.
- a financial liability due to Legal & General in respect of the reimbursement of a pre-negotiated lease incentive, payable to the purchaser; and financial asset due from Legal & General in respect of the reimbursement. The financial liability and a financial asset have been offset because the offsetting criteria in 'IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation' have been met. The group expects to settle these financial instruments on a net basis under the terms of the Forward Funding Agreement.
The financial assets and financial liabilities referred to above have been discounted at a market related interest rate as they are only due upon practical completion. This has resulted in the recognition of finance income and finance expense as the amortisation of the capital contribution on financial assets and financial liabilities respectively, refer to note 14.
Although the Forward Funding Agreement is not a typical construction contract, the legal terms are such that the development project undertaken by the group on behalf of Legal & General represents a continuous transfer of work in progress to Legal & General. Accordingly, this aspect of the accounting for the Forward Funding Agreement has been determined by applying IAS 11 by analogy even though the contract is not part of the normal operations of the group. Income is recognised based on the stage of completion. The stage of completion is determined based on the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total costs of the transaction. Development expenditure incurred in respect of inventory property is recognised in profit or loss and classified as cost of sales of inventory property.
Included in the development costs in the Forward Funding Agreement is the land and buildings transaction tax ("LBTT") on the office land sale. The group is obliged to settle these costs with Legal & General on practical completion and may use the funding provided by Legal & General to do so, subject to there being sufficient developer profits. The financial liabilities due to Legal & General in respect of the LBTT have been offset by the financial asset due from Legal & General in respect of the funding available under the Forward Funding Agreement. The group expects to settle these financial instruments on a net basis under the terms of the Forward Funding Agreement.

20. INVESTMENT IN EQUITY ACCOUNTED INVESTEES
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Equity accounted investees comprise investments in associates. Associates are entities in which the group has significant influence, which is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but does not result in control or joint control of those entities.
Interests in associates are initially recognised at cost including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are accounted for using the equity method. The group recognises its share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate from the date on which significant influence commences, until the date on which significant influence ceases.
The group's share of interest charge by the group to the associate and capitalised against qualifying assets that are not subsequently measured at fair value in the equity accounted investee is deducted from its share of earnings in the equity accounted investee.
Unrealised losses on transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
When the group's share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of the investment, including any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
Interests in associates are assessed for impairment if there is an impairment indicator. An impairment loss in respect of an equity accounted investee is measured by comparing the recoverable amount of the investment with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss and is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

23. INVESTMENT PROPERTY HELD FOR SALE
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Investment property is classified as held for sale if it is highly probable that the carrying value of the property will be recovered primarily through its sale rather than through continuing use, and the following criteria are met:
- Management has intent and a plan to sell;
- The asset is available for immediate sale and an active programme to locate a buyer is initiated;
- The sale is highly probable, within 12 months of classification as held for sale;
- The asset is being actively marketed for a reasonable sale price in relation to its fair value; and
- Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that the plan will be significantly changed or withdrawn.
The measurement requirements of IFRS 5 - 'Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations', do not apply to investment property, as such investment property continues to be measured at fair value once transferred to investment property held for sale, in accordance with group's accounting policy for investment property.

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES AT AMORTISED COST
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION
As described in note 18, a financial liability and corresponding financial asset have been recognised in respect of the capital contribution due from Legal & General, and due to the UK Government, under the terms of the Pre-let Agreement. Both the financial asset and financial liability are held at amortised cost, refer to note 33.
DEFERRED CONSIDERATION
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, deferred consideration is classified as a financial liability and is held at amortised cost. The amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value if the impact of discounting is material.
During the year the group paid €225,000 of the deferred consideration in relation to Heppenheim Park. The remaining deferred consideration amount of €275,000 was released due to the vendor not completing the agreed retention works. The deferred consideration was originally recognised as part of the purchase price of the asset, and accordingly, the €275,000 release of the retention has been recognised as a fair value adjustment to investment property in profit or loss.
On the acquisition of Uberior House, the group retained a portion of the purchase price per the sale and purchase agreement, which will be released to the vendor conditional upon future rent reviews.

30. FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
INTEREST RATE SWAPS
The group has hedged some of the interest rate exposure on the interest-bearing borrowings using interest rate swaps, refer to note 28. These interest rate swaps are classified as FVTPL. Accordingly, they are measured at fair value at the reporting date with changes in fair value being recognised in profit or loss. During the period the remaining Aldi store in the Aldi portfolio was sold, consequently the interest-bearing borrowings secured against the portfolio were repaid and the interest rate swap was settled on 6 July 2017.
DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT FEE AND PRIORITY PARTICIPATING PROFIT DIVIDEND
The group has a development management agreement with New Waverley Advisers and New Waverley Holdings ("the developer") under which a fee and a priority participating profit dividend is payable to the developer in relation to the development of the New Waverley site in Edinburgh, refer to note 17. Under the terms of the agreement, MAS is entitled to a 7.5% annualised preferred return on invested capital. The developer then earns one third of this annualised return and thereafter is entitled to a fee or profit dividend that together approximate 25% of any further development profit.
These financial liabilities were designated and classified on initial recognition as FVTPL. Accordingly, they are measured at fair value at the reporting date with changes in fair value being recognised in profit or loss. There has been no change to the fair value of the financial liabilities as a result of the group's own credit risk.

LEVEL 3 FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
VALUATION PROCESS OF LEVEL 3 FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
The fair value of the level 3 financial liabilities in respect of New Waverley Advisers Limited and New Waverley Holdings Limited is calculated semi-annually. The investment property valuation process, refer to note 17, is part of this valuation process as the financial liability is derived from the fair value of New Waverley investment property.
VALUATION TECHNIQUES AND UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS
The following table shows the valuation technique used to measure financial instruments held at fair value as well as the significant unobservable inputs used for level 3 financial instruments:
As at 30 June 2018 and as at 30 June 2017
| Financial instrument | Valuation technique | Inputs | Inter-relationship between inputs and fair value measurement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Development management fee and priority participating profit dividend | Gross development value: Fair value is based on the value of the properties in the New Waverley development. | • Value of investment property | The estimated fair value would increase/ (decrease) if: |

MAS REAL ESTATE INC INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2018
32. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest. A corresponding increase is recognised in the share-based payment reserve.
Non-forfeitable distributions paid as part of the share-based payment awards are included within the fair value at the grant date of the share-based payment.
Options are forfeited if the employee leaves the group before the options vest.
DISCLOSURE
The group has two geared share purchase plans – a Salaried and a Non-Salaried purchase plan. In terms of these, the group granted participants a loan to acquire shares issued by the company. The loans accrue interest at the weighted average cost of debt of the group. If distributions are declared, the participants are entitled to distributions on all their shares, irrespective of vesting. A portion of any distribution received must be used to settle the interest that accrued on the loan. Recourse on the loans is limited to the value of the shares acquired plus any unpaid interest accrued, and the shares are pledged as security for repayment of the loan.
Salaried plan participants continue to receive basic salary and normal employment benefits from the group. The participants are entitled to retain the surplus of any distributions received on their shares less the cost of interest on the loans.
The non-salaried variant participant ceased to receive any remuneration or employment benefits from the group from 9 March 2017. The participant does not receive any distributions on the participants shares – instead the distributions are applied, firstly, to reduce the interest cost on the loans and, thereafter, to reduce the loan balance.
The key terms and conditions related to participation in the plans are as follows:
| Grant date | Shares | Initial term of loan | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number | Issue price | Vesting period | Vesting conditions | Interest rate | Initial term | ||
| Salaried variant | 9 March 2017 | 3,850,000 | €1.64 | 20% annually | Service until vesting dates | WACD of the group 2.60% | 10 years |
| Non-salaried variant | 9 March 2017 | 4,000,000 | €1.64 | 15% annually for 4 years, and then 20% annually | Service until vesting dates | WACD of the group 2.60% | 10 years |
7,850,000
The total number of shares issued in relation to the geared share purchase plan is 7,850,000 (2017: 12,850,000) as at 30 June 2018. Since the grant date, 5,000,000 shares have been forfeited, refer to note 24.
The loans to acquire shares are, in substance, call options in terms of IFRS 2: 'Share-based Payments'. The options were valued at the grant date. The cost thereof is recognised over the vesting period as an employment benefit, with a corresponding increase in the share-based payment reserve. During the year €902,386 (2017: €319,248) was recognised in the share-based payment reserve in relation to the options, refer to note 25.
As the options relate to multiple service periods, the awards have a graded vesting pattern whereby each tranche relating to a particular service period is recognised as an expense in profit or loss over that service period.
MEASUREMENT OF FAIR VALUE
The fair value of the options of the Salaried and Non-salaried share option plans have been determined by using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The participants' service related vesting conditions have not been considered in the valuation of the options. Instead, the expense has been recognised based on the group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest.
The valuation assumptions used to measure the grant date fair value of the options of the equity settled share-based payments were as follows:
| Salaried and Non-salaried plan | As at grant date |
|---|---|
| Share price at grant date | €1.64 |
| Exercise price | €2.10 |
| Expected volatility | 21.16% |
| Risk free rate | 0.43% |
| Expected distribution | 0.00% |
| Time to expiration | 10 years |
| Fair value of option | €0.31 |

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
For the year ended 30 June 2018
32. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS (CONTINUED)
As participants are effectively entitled to distributions, or distribution equivalents, between grant date and exercise date, the options are valued as if no distributions will be paid on the underlying share. The input for expected distributions is accordingly zero. In addition, the interest on the loan effectively increases the exercise price of the option from €1.64 to €2.10.
Expected volatility has been based upon the evaluation of the company's historic volatility and market conditions to determine the future implied volatility of the company's share price over the term of the options in the geared purchase plans.

34. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
OVERVIEW
The group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
- Liquidity risk
- Market price risk
- Interest rate risk: fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk
- Foreign exchange risk
- Credit risk
LIQUIDITY RISK - The risk that the group will encounter difficulty meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities that arises when the maturity of assets and liabilities do not match. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability but can also increase the risk of losses.
The group has internal procedures focused on ensuring the efficient but prudent use of cash and availability of working capital. The liquidity risk inherent in the business is mainly as a result of the tenant risk in the property portfolio. Should a tenant default, liquidity risk may result in the inability of the group to cover the interest and capital payments. As a result, adequate cash buffers are maintained, and tenant strength is reviewed on a continual basis. The group intends to invest up to a further €250,000,000 in PKM Developments, refer to note 39. The group has no significant concentration of liquidity risk on the basis that the group holds all cash and cash equivalents on demand.
The following are the contractual maturities, including interest payments:

MARKET PRICE RISK - The risk that the market price of an investment or financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates, market interest rates, market factors specific to the security or its issuer or factors generally affecting all such investments.
The risk to the group arises due to an imbalance between demand and supply for the relevant investments and financial instruments in the portfolio, which could potentially result in a disorderly market. The concentration of market risk is mitigated through the regular monitoring of the share price of financial investments.
The assets and liabilities affected by market price risk are as follows:
| Euro | As at | |
|---|---|---|

At 30 June 2018, if market prices at that date had been $5\%$ (2017: $5\%$ ) higher/lower with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been €8,528,214 (2017: €729,023) higher/lower. This sensitivity analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

MAS REAL ESTATE INC INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2018
FAIR VALUE SENSITIVITY FOR FIXED-RATE INSTRUMENTS
The group does not account for any fixed rate interest bearing borrowings at fair value through profit or loss and the group does not designate derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments. Therefore, a change in interest rates on fixed rate interest-bearing borrowings would not affect profit or loss.
CASH FLOW SENSITIVITY FOR VARIABLE RATE INSTRUMENTS
At 30 June 2018, if interest rates at that date had been 25 basis points higher/lower (2017: 25 basis points) with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been €330,003 (2017: €49,106) lower/higher, arising mainly as a result of the higher/lower interest expense on variable borrowings. This sensitivity analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK - The group is exposed to currency risk because it holds both assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than euro, the presentation currency. It is therefore exposed to currency risk, as the value of assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies will fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates.
As at 30 June 2018 the group had the following currency exposures:

MAS REAL ESTATE INC INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2018
CREDIT RISK - The group is exposed to credit risk primarily as a result of its banking relationships, trade receivables owed by tenants, listed real estate equity securities and the investment in the PKM Developments preference shares. In addition, the credit exposure arises due to potential default on derivative instruments if the counterparty defaults as a result of a deteriorating credit rating. Credit risk is initially monitored by management with reference to external credit ratings.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure, as follows:

Management reviews the credit quality on a quarterly basis by reviewing management accounts, including those of PKM Developments. Cash and cash equivalents are held with banks and financial institution counterparties which are rated B+ or better by Moody's rating agency. The share price of the listed real estate equity securities is monitored by management on a regular basis. The credit quality of trade and other receivables is reviewed by MAS Prop as investment advisors to the group, no impairment indications have been found. If there are any significant changes to credit quality these are escalated to the Audit and Risk Committee.
There is no significant concentration credit risk with respect to trade and other receivables as the group does not place reliance on one single counterparty. The group reviews the financial status and risk profile of its tenants and has found no impairment indications. No financial assets are impaired and none are past due dates.

35. OPERATING SEGMENTS
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Segment results that are reported to the executive board include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly central costs that relate to the group structure and operations not related to specific investments. In addition, unallocated items in the consolidated statement of financial position relate predominantly to cash that has not been allocated to specific investments.
The risks and rewards faced by the group relate primarily to the business segment of the assets and therefore this forms the basis of the reporting segment.
DISCLOSURE
| Reportable segment | Description |
|---|---|
| Income-generating property | Property that is currently producing income and held for the purpose of earning a yield. There may be further asset management opportunities on these properties, which could further enhance income returns. |
| Development property | Property that is being developed in order to create income producing property held for the purpose of earning a better yield than by acquiring standing property. |
| Land bank and other strategic assets | Residential developments and land plots held for schemes that have not yet commenced, and listed real estate equity securities. |
| Corporate | Consists of the cash holdings outside of the other reporting segments and goodwill. |
The executive management team analyses the performance and position of the group by aggregating the group into the four reportable segments. These reportable segments have different risk profiles and generate revenue/income from different sources. Accordingly, it allows the executive management team to make better informed strategic decisions for the group. Management reports are prepared and reviewed on a quarterly basis by the executive management team to facilitate this process.

EPRA NAV
The European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) is an organisation that promotes, develops and represents the European public real estate sector. EPRA sets out best practice reporting guidelines on a number of financial and operational performance indicators relevant to the real estate sector. As the business of the group matures, the board intends to adopt the EPRA performance measures on a comprehensive basis. However, as the business goes through the current stage of rapid change and growth, some of the metrics are currently considered not to be relevant. Initially, EPRA NAV and EPRA NAV per share have been computed, which provides an industry standard methodology for the computation of the net asset value per share of the group.
