Investment Philosophy and Exit Strategies
The company’s Investment Philosophy is to identify and invest in assets with the following broad criteria: A skilled and experienced management team with integrity and excellent work ethic; Strong business fundamentals and a proven track record; High projected growth emanating from a combination of operations in attractive sectors (strong demand and high barriers to entry) and relative competitive advantages within those sectors; and Synergies with other investments within the portfolio. A clear exit strategy should be available.
Tadvest’s approach is to partner with the existing management team of the business to put in place a strategy to harness long term sustainable growth and investment income which benefits both management and Tadvest. Tadvest approaches each investment opportunity with a potential exit strategy in mind. This allows us to be agile should the market conditions change or should any alternative opportunities arise. Tadvest will review all assets on a regular basis for continued inclusion in the portfolio based on our overall investment strategy. The Company does not have a specific time horizon within which it must exit investments.
Diversification of Portfolio
The investment philosophy is applied in diversifying the asset base, taking into account the following: Prevailing market conditions and capital market expectations; Investment jurisdictions; Sector exposure and knowledge; and Asset-specific fundamental economic factors.
Diversification will be achieved gradually and we will not make investments purely for the sake of achieving such diversification. An investment opportunity will need to be attractive both when considered in isolation as well as when considered in the context of the broader portfolio. Diversification will therefore be a controlled and steady process.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
It gives me pleasure to present Tadvest Limited’s maiden Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2016.
Throughout the previous financial year, the company has achieved its set milestones and consequently has been able to build a strong foundation for the future. I am pleased to present some of those achievements in this report.
Tadvest Ltd obtained approval from the Stock Exchange of Mauritius (SEM) to list on its main board on the 3rd of February 2016. Shortly after its SEM listing, the company was also listed on the Namibian Stock Exchange (NSX) as its secondary market.
The listing of the Company on both the SEM and the NSX has positioned Tadvest as an international player, particularly
manner.
As a result, Tadvest has been able to make its first major acquisition by purchasing all of the issued share capital of Tadvest SA (Pty) Ltd, an investment holding vehicle providing access to prime assets in Southern Africa. As part of its strategy, this acquisition has given the Company the ability to be exposed to assets which include agriculture, food processing, and industrial operations as part of its private equity portfolio. Tadvest SA also owns a portfolio of A-Grade Investment Properties a Pipeline of development opportunities and a sizeable portfolio of Listed Property Equities.
With Tadvest being a company continuously seeking growth opportunities, its investment objectives are to focus on identifying high yielding opportunities using its network of strategic partners. Consequently, Tadvest was able to successfully earmark, close and deploy on two investment targets; firstly, on a private placement of shares in Echo Polska Properties during May 2016, which is now dual-listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. The Company also invested in a mixed-use property development scheme situated in Newark (USA). These two investments have been a result of Tadvest’s focus to continue strengthening its asset base outside Southern Africa.
The year has not been without challenges. Tadvest continues to be exposed to South African political uncertainty, which
environment has influenced Tadvest SA’s investment policies in South Africa and has prompted our board to manage the risks more carefully during the course of the year. Whilst Tadvest’s strategy is to mitigate such country specific risks through further global diversification, we still believe that there are significant growth opportunities within the South African investment landscape.

Asset Report (continued)
As the majority of the portfolio was acquired in 2016 we have maintained our focus on gaining better insight into the various assets and how best to achieve synergy within the portfolio . This was done through extensive management discussions and strategy sessions. The core focus remains on the following elements for each investment:
1. Long term strategic planning
2. Scalability and diversification
3. Growth forecast and 5 year capital plans
4. Succession planning and management alignment with various strategies
5. Improving on detailed asset reporting and forecasts
6. Timing of exit or clarifying exit strategy
14
The portfolio is over exposed to South African assets. This has been identified by the board as a key risk area to address. Although there are various high yielding and quality assets within the South African portfolio, the political unrest and fluctuating currency poses significant risks for the shareholders of Tadvest. This will be a long term strategy that will be formulated alongside the Board. The initial steps have been to distribute surplus funds from the Tadvest SA portfolio, to Tadvest Limited and also extending the global footprint of Tadvest to Poland and North America. Through discussions with the board the proposed target has been set in line with the global diversification strategy of Tadvest.
The Global diversification strategy will be carefully implemented as each new jurisdiction will have unique opportunities and risks. Each jurisdiction considered will be assessed to ensure the economic fundamentals are solid and that the board has a complete understanding of the various risks i.e. credit, sovereign and political risks. The identified risks will be weighed up with the projected returns of the various opportunities in order for the board to justify the investment.
We feel that although very diverse, the assets within the Tadvest portfolio have great fundamentals, and through focused asset management and clearly defined strategies will achieve above average returns.

We have reviewed the Board of Directors papers, management accounts, audited financial statements and prospectuses where relevant of entities in which investments have been made. We have enquired with the Directors as to the prospects of the investments.
30
Other Information
The Directors are responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the Directors’ Report, the Corporate Governance Report, the Statement of Compliance and the Company Secretary’s Certificate, but does not include the financial statements nor our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, 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.
Responsibilities of the Directors and those charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The Directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Mauritius Companies Act 2001, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’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 Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 is 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 the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
31
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for 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 that are
Company’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 Director’s 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 Company’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 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the Directors and those charged with governance 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 those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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.
32
Other matter
This report is made solely for the Company’s shareholders, as a body, in accordance with Section 205 of the Companies Act 2001. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’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 Company and the Company’s shareholders, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
Mauritius Companies Act 2001
We have no relationship with or interests in the Company other than in our capacity as auditors. We have obtained all the information and explanations we have required.
In our opinion, proper accounting records have been kept by the Company as far as it appears from our examination of those records.
Financial Reporting Act 2004
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Corporate Governance report. Our responsibility is to report on the extent of compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance (‘the Code’) as disclosed in the Annual Report.
In our opinion, the disclosures in the Corporate Governance report are consistent with the requirements of the code.

beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or
applied for the first time in 2016, they did not have a material impact on the annual financial statements of the Company. The nature and the impact of each new standard or amendment are described below:
38
IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts
IFRS 14 is an optional standard that allows an entity, whose activities are subject to rate-regulation, to continue applying most of its existing accounting policies for regulatory deferral account balances upon its first-time adoption of IFRS. Entities that adopt IFRS 14 must present the regulatory deferral accounts as separate line items on the statement of financial position and present movements in these account balances as separate line items in the statement of profit or loss and OCI. The standard requires disclosure of the nature of, and risks associated with, the entity’s rate-regulation
is not involved in any rate-regulated activities, this standard does not apply.
Amendments to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements: Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests
The amendments to IFRS 11 require that a joint operator accounting for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation, in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business, must apply the relevant IFRS 3 Business Combinations principles for business combination accounting. The amendments also clarify that a previously held interest in a joint operation is not remeasured on the acquisition of an additional interest in the same joint operation if joint control is retained. In addition, a scope exclusion has been added to IFRS 11 to specify that the amendments do not apply when the parties sharing joint control, including the reporting entity, are under common control of the same ultimate controlling party.
The amendments apply to both the acquisition of the initial interest in a joint operation and the acquisition of any additional interests in the same joint operation and are applied prospectively. These amendments do not have any impact on the Company as there has been no interest acquired in a joint operation during the period.
Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38: Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation
The amendments clarify the principle in IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets that revenue reflects a pattern of economic benefits that are generated from operating a business (of which the asset is a part) rather than the economic benefits that are consumed through use of the asset. As a result, a revenue-based method cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment and may only be used in very limited circumstances to amortise intangible assets. The amendments are applied prospectively and do not have any impact on the Company.
Amendments to IAS 27: Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements The amendments allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements. Entities already applying IFRS and electing to change to the equity method in their separate financial statements have to apply that change retrospectively. These amendments do not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Annual Improvements 2012-2014 Cycle These improvements include: IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations Assets (or disposal groups) are generally disposed of either through sale or distribution to the owners. The amendment clarifies that changing from one of these disposal methods to the other would not be considered a new plan of disposal, rather it is a continuation of the original plan. There is, therefore, no interruption of the application of the requirements in IFRS 5. This amendment is applied prospectively.
39
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
(i) Servicing contractsThe amendment clarifies that a servicing contract that includes a fee can constitute continuing involvement in a financial asset. An entity must assess the nature of the fee and the arrangement against the guidance for continuing involvement in IFRS 7 in order to assess whether the disclosures are required. The assessment of which servicing contracts constitute continuing involvement must be done retrospectively. However, the required disclosures need not be provided for any period beginning before the annual period in which the entity first applies the amendments.
(ii) Applicability of the amendments to IFRS 7 to condensed interim financial statements
statements, unless such disclosures provide a significant update to the information reported in the most recent annual report. This amendment is applied retrospectively.
Amendments to IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative
The amendments to IAS 1 clarify, rather than significantly change, existing IAS 1 requirements. The amendments clarify:
· The materiality requirements in IAS 1
disaggregated
aggregate as a single line item, and classified between those items that will or will not be subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.
IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting
The amendment clarifies that the required interim disclosures must either be in the interim financial statements or incorporated by cross-reference between the interim financial statements and wherever they are included within the interim financial report (e.g., in the management commentary or risk report). The other information within the interim financial report must be available to users on the same terms as the interim financial statements and at the same time. This amendment is applied retrospectively.
These amendments do not have any impact on the Company.
Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception
The amendments address issues that have arisen in applying the investment entities exception under IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. The amendments to IFRS 10 clarify that the exemption from presenting consolidated financial statements applies to a parent entity that is a subsidiary of an investment entity, when the investment entity measures all of its subsidiaries at fair value.
Furthermore, the amendments to IFRS 10 clarify that only a subsidiary of an investment entity that is not an investment entity itself and that provides support services to the investment entity is consolidated. All other subsidiaries of an investment entity are measured at fair value.
The amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures allow the investor, when applying the equity method, to retain the fair value measurement applied by the investment entity associate or joint venture to its interests in subsidiaries.
These amendments are applied retrospectively and do not have any impact on the Company as it is an investment entity.
40
Numerous new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been issued but are not yet
to assess the impact on the Company’s operations.
IFRS 9 — Financial Instruments
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments issued on 24 July 2014 is the IASB’s replacement of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The Standard includes requirements for recognition and measurement, impairment, derecognition and general hedge accounting. The IASB completed its project to replace IAS 39 in phases, adding to the standard as it completed each phase.
on or after 1 January 2018 with early adoption permitted (subject to local endorsement requirements). For a limited period, previous versions of IFRS 9 may be adopted early if not already done so provided the relevant date of initial application is before 1 February 2015.
IFRS 9 does not replace the requirements for portfolio fair value hedge accounting for interest rate risk (often referred to as the ‘macro hedge accounting’ requirements) since this phase of the project was separated from the IFRS 9 project due to the longer term nature of the macro hedging project which is currently at the discussion paper phase of the due process. In April 2014, the IASB published a Discussion Paper Accounting for Dynamic Risk management: a Portfolio Revaluation Approach to Macro Hedging. Consequently, the exception in IAS 39 for a fair value hedge of an interest rate exposure of a portfolio of financial assets or financial liabilities continues to apply.
IFRS 15 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers
IFRS 15 specifies how and when an IFRS reporter will recognise revenue as well as requiring such entities to provide users of financial statements with more informative, relevant disclosures. The standard provides a single, principles based five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers.
IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and applies to an annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2017.
3.3 Significant accounting policies
(a) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised as follows:
• Dividend income – when the shareholders’ right to receive payment is established.
• Interest income – as it accrues unless collectability is in doubt. (b) Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency The financial statements of the Company are presented in United States Dollar (‘USD’). The Company’s business or other activity is carried out in a currency other than the Mauritian rupee, which is a requirement of the Financial Services Act 2007. The directors of the Company have determined that the functional currency should be in USD as the principal financing currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated using average rates of exchange for the period. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Any foreign
41
Transactions and non-monetary items are translated at the exchange rates ruling when the transactions occurred. Income statement items are translated at the appropriate weighted average exchange rate for the period. Monetary items are translated at the closing exchange rates. Translation gains and losses are taken to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period.
(c) Expense recognition
All expenses are accounted for in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on the accrual basis
(d) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the directors’ best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
(e) Transaction costs
Transaction costs are legal and professional fees incurred to structure a deal to acquire the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. They include the upfront fees and commissions paid to agents, advisers, brokers, dealers and due diligence fees. Transaction costs, when incurred, are immediately recognised in profit or loss as an expense.
(f) Impairment
At each closing date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any
amount is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount which is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and value in use, that is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from continuing to use the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income immediately, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in which case the impairment loss is recognised against the revaluation or fair value reserve for the asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount held in the revaluation or fair value reserve for that same asset. Any excess is recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(g) Other receivables
(h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readilyconvertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These are initiallyand subsequently recorded at fair value.
(i) Other payables
Other payables are stated at their cost.
42
(j) Accrued expenses
These are accruals and other payables and are initially recognised at fair value plus direct attributable
(k) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets are derecognised when the contracted rights to receive the cash flows from the assets have expired, substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the assets or control of the assets are transferred. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired.
(l) Taxation
Income tax on the profit or loss for the period comprises of current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of prior years.
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. 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 at reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the assets can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
(m) Financial instruments The Company classifies financial assets and financial liabilities into the following categories:
• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss – held for trading
• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss – designated
• Available-for-sale financial assets
Classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were obtained/incurred and takes place at initial recognition. Classification is re-assessed on an annual basis, except for derivatives and financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss, which shall not be classified out of the fair value through profit category.
Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards or ownership. Financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are no longer held for the purposes of selling or repurchasing in the near term may be reclassified out of that category:
• in rare circumstances;
• if the asset met the definition of loans and receivables and the entity has the intention and ability to hold the asset for the foreseeable future or until maturity.
43
• No other reclassifications may be made into or out of the fair value through profit or loss category. A financial asset classified as available-for-sale that would have met the definition of loans and receivables, may be classified to loans and receivables if the entity has the intension and ability to hold the asset for the foreseeable future or until maturity.
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial instruments are recognised initially when the company becomes a party to contractual provisions of the instruments.
The company classifies financial instruments, or their component parts, on initial recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.
Financial instruments are measured initially at fair value, except for equity investments for which a fair value is not determinable which are measured at cost and are classified as available-for-sale financial assets.
Subsequent measurement
Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value being included in profit of loss for the. period.
Net gains or losses on the financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss excludes dividends and interest.
Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss as part of other income when the Company’s right to receive payment is established.
Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. This excludes equity investments for which a fair value is not determinable, which are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity until the asset is disposed of or determined to be impaired. Interest on available-for-sale financial assets received on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss as part of other income when the company’s right to receive payment is established.
(n) Stated capital
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
3.4 Significant judgments and sources of estimation uncertainty
Determination of investment entity status
The Company is required to assess whether it is an investment entity by considering all the facts and circumstances including its purpose and design. The Company possesses the three elements of the definition of an investment entity, which are:
• It has obtained funds for the purpose of providing investors with investment management services;
• Its business purpose, which was communicated directly to investors, is investing solely for returns from capital appreciation and investment income; and
• The performance of its investments made is measured and evaluated on a fair value basis.
Further, the Company displays the typical characteristics of an investment entity. It holds multiple investments and ownership interests in the Company are in the form of shares, which are exposed to variable returns from changes in fair value of the Company’s net assets.The Company did not display the typical characteristics of an investment entity in the following instances. However, for the reasons included below, these did not disqualify it from being an investment entity.
44
• It has investors who are related parties of the entity. There are instances where investors occupy executive or non-executive positions on certain of the investee’s boards. These directors do not receive any director’s remuneration or fees, other than incidental reimbursement of travel costs. The instances where these investors are seen to be related parties to the investment entity or its investees, do not result in any benefits other than capital appreciation and investment income derived from these investments.
• There are Limited Guarantees issued by the Company and its investees in favour of SWS 11 Limited to secure the borrowing for the acquisition of investments. This is not substantial to the rest of the portfolio and it was structured in this way to ensure that the maximum capital growth could be obtained through gearing. The business purpose of the Company therefore remains to hold its investments solely for capital appreciation and/or investment income.
Subsequent measurement
Fair value determination The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the company establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models, making maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity specific inputs.
FVTPL financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as FVTPL or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available for sale.
Listed ordinary shares held by the Company that are traded in an active market are classified as FVTPL and are stated at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The Company also has investments in unlisted shares that are not traded in an active market but that are measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amount of FVTPL monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency rates are recognised in profit or loss.
The fair value of FVTPL monetary financial assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate prevailing at the end of the reporting period.

Fair value hierarchy
The Company measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs in making the measurements: Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy During the year ended 31 December 2016, no transfers were made from one level to another in the fair value hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value except in Kemtek Imaging System Holdings Ltd with fair value of USD 895,157 (2015:USD 836,770) transferred from level 2 to level 3 as the method of valuation changed from using recent transaction to net asset value.
Valuations techniques and process The company uses a number of techniques to determine the fair value of its investments classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Recent market transaction price is deemed suitable for acquisitions made close to the reporting date and the price, if not in the functional currency, is retranslated using the spot rate at that date. The Company also makes use of net asset value (NAV) of the respective investees published or communicated where these NAV represents the price at which the instruments are traded. Multiple method assesses the fair value of an asset by using multiples such as earnings multiples available for entities in the industry and adjusts as appropriate to reflect the specific characteristics of the valued asset. Discounted cash flow model involves the determination of a series of cash flows using assumptions and applying a relevant market derived discount rate to reach the present value of the asset.
The Company made use of an external valuer to determine the fair value of its investments classified under level 3. The techniques, assumptions and other inputs are defined after discussions with the management of the Company. Changes from one period to the next are reviewed and analysed to ascertain their correctness.

Associated risks The Company’s activities expose them to various types of risks in the normal course of their business. The following summary is not intended to be comprehensive summary of all risks.
Market risk
Market risk represents the potential loss that can be caused by a change in the market value of financial instruments. The Company’s exposure to market risk is determined by a number of factors, including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and market volatility.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counter party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Company. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is monitored by management on an ongoing basis. The Company does not have any significant concentration of credit risks. The Company takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that a counter party will be unable to pay amounts in full when due. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was as follows:
2016 2015
USD USD
Loans receivable 3 560 996 7 915 467
Other receivables 19 539 521 21
Cash at bank 98 643 794 2
3 679 178 7 930 089
Currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on its transactions that are denominated in currencies other than in the functional currency. The ZAR has strengthened against the USD since balance sheet date. The ZAR traded at ZAR 13.67 per USD 1 as at 31 December 2016 and is traded at ZAR 12.75 per USD 1 as at close of business on the 16th of March 2017. This resulted in favourable adjustment to the value of the ZAR exposed assets subsequent to balance sheet date and confirmed that there was no indication of impairment due to currency fluctuations.

15. Capital management
The Company’s primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company defines “capital” as including all components of equity.

The Company’s capital structure is regularly reviewed and managed with due regard to the capital management practices of the Company. Adjustments are made to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions
the determination of the level of dividends, if any, that are declared.
16. Events after the reporting date
Purchase of EPP & Redefine Shares
The Company is in the process of acquiring 375,280 shares in Echo Polska Properties NV and 5,541,480 shares in Redefine Properties Limited for a consideration of approximately USD 5 million, to be settled through issue of the Company’s own shares on the Namibian Stock Exchange to Namib Gate Investments (Pty) Ltd at NAV per share.
Strengthening of the ZAR against the USD
The ZAR has strengthened against the USD since balance sheet date. The ZAR traded at ZAR 13.67 per USD 1 as at 31 December 2016 and traded at ZAR 12.75 per USD 1 as at close of business on the 16th of March 2017. This resulted in a significant increase in fair value of the Company’s ZAR based investments subsequent to 31 December 2016. Due to volatility of the ZAR versus the USD, no adjustments to reported values as at 31 December 2016 are considered appropriate.
17. Comparatives
