3. INFORMATION ABOUT NOVUS
3.1. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF NOVUS
NOVUS PROPERTIES LTD was incorporated in the Republic of Mauritius on 8 December
2005 under the Companies Act as a private company, limited by shares under
the name of ACMS Private Equity Ltd with a capital of Rs20,000 divided into 200 no
par value shares. The legal name changed to ACMS Property Ltd on 24 March 2008.
Later on 8 January 2014, the Company has been converted into a public Company and
changed its name to NOVUS PROPERTIES LTD on 4 June 2014.
Its registered number is 59917 and its Business Registration Number C59917.
3.2 CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS & INVESTMENTS
In 2008, NOVUS was entitled the co-promoter for Grand Baie Business Park (GBBP) –
Phase II. GBBP comprises of office spaces in a quiet area of Grand Baie with one common
board room, parking facilities and a nice green and pleasant environment. At completion
of the project in mid-2009, NOVUS sold 14 offices & leased the remaining 22 outlets.
On 25 January 2013, NOVUS amalgamated with Record Realty Ltd (RRL), a private
company limited by shares, which held shares in MDA Properties Ltd (MDA), another well-
known land promoter and property developer in Mauritius. To highlight, MDA has been
the promoter of Kendra and Helvetia shopping malls in St Pierre and VIVEA Business Park.
Through the amalgamation, NOVUS now holds 4.12% of the issued share capital of MDA.
On 31 May 2013, NOVUS acquired Powertech Engineering Ltd (PEL), a company which
holds a land and building in Pailles. The industrial building is fully leased to five
companies, which are mainly in mechanisation and chemicals. The building has extension
potentials to increase its rental space.
Later in 2013, MDA sold Kendra and Helvetia shopping malls to ASCENCIA, in return of
ASCENCIA shares and cash. MDA distributed the proceeds to its shareholders and
consequently, NOVUS received 11,066 ASCIENCIA B shares, listed on the DEM, and cash.
Company Liabilities
As at July 2014, NOVUS has a long term loan facility of Rs35M with the MCB, with interest
charged at PLR + 1.25%. The collaterals given to the loan are the 22 offices of GBBP and
the 4.12% shares owned in MDA.
11
4. BUSINESS OVERVIEW
NOVUS principal activity is to acquire, invest and hold investment in real estate located in
Mauritius. In line with this, NOVUS sources rental income from the properties so as to
optimise shareholder returns. The profits of the group are subject to a corporate tax of
15%. On the other hand, dividends paid to the shareholders of the Group are not liable to
tax.
Moreover, an existing tenant of PEL has already expressed his interest to lease the
extension in process. The target month for the completion is 15 November 2014 and the
existing tenant shall start renting the new premises on 1 December 2014 increasing the
turnover by MUR 260K as well as the occupancy rate and profitability. To further mitigate
its risks, NOVUS has binding and long-term contracts (2-3 years) with its tenants with a
minimum of 6 month notice for termination of lease (both commercial and industrial).
4.1 Business objectives
NOVUS’ objectives are to provide dividend income and long term capital gains to its
shareholders. The Company invests in properties that provide rental income and growth
in value. The opportunities & strategy are reviewed and debated by the Board quarterly.
4.2 Purpose of Listing
The purpose of listing is to enable the group to raise capital on the market to finance
other projects that will still maximise returns for the shareholders. Also, it would enable
shares to be traded freely on the DEM platform.

7.3. POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
In general, a conflict of interest arises when any Director, Controlling Shareholder or their
associates is carrying on or has any interest in any other corporation carrying on the
same business or dealing in similar products as the Group.
The Directors, Controlling Shareholders or their associates in other corporations does not
hold any interest in similar businesses as the Group.
7.4. REMUNERATION AND BENEFITS
There are no director fees expensed in NOVUS. There is however a general management fee
(Rs 96,000 annually) payable to United Investment Limited, NOVUS’ Management Company.
7.5. EMPLOYEES
Except for its executive directors, NOVUS does not have any employees so far since its
management is outsourced to UIL. Should the business require any employees in future, it
shall recruit accordingly.
8. RISK FACTORS
8.1. RISKS RELATING TO THE BUSINESS
8.1.1. Economic risk
The Company’s business is dependent on the continuous expansion of the Mauritian
economy. The property development & management market in Mauritius may be
impacted by political, economic, regulatory, social or diplomatic developments
affecting the respective property sectors generally. Changes in inflation, interest rates,
taxation or other regulatory, economic, social or political factors affecting the areas
where our property developments are located or any adverse developments in the
supply, demand and prices of office/building space in the property sector, may impact
on our business. The Company’s property development business is also subject to the
cyclical nature of the property industry and as such, any downturn in the property
development markets in Mauritius, in which it operates, will have an impact on its
business operations, financial performance and financial condition.
8.1.2. Revenue fluctuation risk
Revenue may fluctuate from period to period. As the group derives revenue from the
16
sale and mostly rental of properties, its performance may be affected by demand for
properties, the price at which these can be resold and/or rented out, and the occupancy
rate of the properties held, with regards to the property market in Mauritius. A decrease
in occupancy will decrease the revenues and an increase in occupancy rate will increase
revenues.
8.1.3. Joint Venture risk
The Group may, as a matter of business strategy, from time to time enter into property
development, property investment and construction projects through the formation of
joint ventures. These joint ventures involve a certain amount of business risks such as
the inability or unwillingness of joint venture partners to fulfil their obligations under
the joint venture agreements (if any).
17
8.2. RISKS RELATING TO THE PROPERTY INDUSTRY
8.2.1. Risks from Competitors
There are other property developers undertaking property development and
investment projects in Mauritius. Competition among property developers may result
in, among others, increased acquisition costs of land for development and from
oversupply of properties in certain parts of Mauritius.
8.2.2. Changes in tax laws, regulations and policies
Changes in governmental regulations or policies may have an impact on the
business, financial performance, future growth and prospects of the Group.
8.2.3. Decline in property prices
Property prices in Mauritius are affected by not only supply and demand but also,
local market expectations and/or economic slowdown. These factors could dampen the
Group’s financial results.
8.3. RISKS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF NOVUS
8.3.1. Dividend policy
NOVUS aim to distribute at least 90% of its PAT to its shareholders, subject to the company
meeting the Solvency Test and no capital is needed for future investments which would
enhance shareholders’ returns.
18
9. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
9.1 OPERATING RESULTS
I. In its first year of operation (i.e. year ended June 2010), NOVUS mainly derived
income from the sale of offices that were completed during that financial year. Since
2011, NOVUS’ main source of income shifted from the sale of offices to the rental of
offices. NOVUS started with a high gearing (i.e. >200%) which it managed to lower
down through the consecutive business years as shown in the Key Highlights on the
next page.
II. During the year ended June 2012, NOVUS increased its revenue generated from rental
properties and the turnover turned out to be stable in 2013 since occupancy rate
were kept more or less constant at 85%. The major events which are reflected in the
2013 financial statements are:
a. Consolidation of NOVUS & PEL accounts to account for the acquisition of 100% of
PEL. The acquisition took effect in June 2013 therefore the consolidated profit &
loss only reflects one month of PEL activities; and
b. An increase in the fair value for the investment property of Rs29m following a
valuation performed by an independent valuer, GEXIM Real Estate Ltd.
III. During the year ended June 2014, the turnover has increased considering the
additional income from PEL as well as the dividend income from MDA Properties. The
expenses have also increased along with the new acquisition. The costs for repairs and
maintenance have been above the normal range this year to ensure the quality of our
investment properties remain at an acceptable and marketable level. The profit has
increased marginally this year.
10. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The directors and shareholders keep searching the market for potential acquisition and
property investments.
