Date 23 May 2023


Subject REMARKS BY CDI CHAIRMAN TO 2023 ANNUAL MEETING OF

SHAREHOLDERS


On behalf of the Directors, I present the Annual Report and the Statement of Financial Accounts to 31 December

2022. I would like to make a few brief comments about the past year.


The Board was pleased with the results that we were able to achieve in 2022, especially given the rapidly

changing market circumstances in the latter part of the year. Jason will speak to some of those challenges in his

presentation.


As we said in our 2022 interim report, we set Management a target of matching their 2021 profit results and they

achieved this which reflects both the significant effort put in by the Management teams and the sales agents

particularly in the last quarter of the year.


I would like to extend our thanks to the Management team for their work once again. It was not easy.


We are particularly pleased with the success of our commercial warehouses in Auckland which were completed

on time and on budget and are now fully tenanted.


We now want to build on the success of that development where we can and the Board has asked the

Management plan to look at where such opportunities are best suited for us. The market for commercial land

remains competitive and demand for commercial projects remains solid so this is an area we are looking at

closely.


Looking to the future, we will continue to look for acquisition opportunities over the course of this year and in to

the future.


We will also look at how we can optimise the use of our land holdings


None of this should come as something new or surprising. As we develop our land holdings and sell down

completed sections, we need to be on the lookout for opportunities to replenish our land portfolio and the

Management team has spent considerable time looking at various opportunities in recent months.


As long-term shareholders know, we are highly selective in the opportunities we seek and a lot of assessment

work is done before we lock in suitable purchases.


We will continue to maintain our high standards as we always have to ensure that we have a portfolio that is not

only geographical diverse but which will provide the right level of future returns when developed.


That said, we want to signal to you that 2023 will be particularly challenging for us as higher interest rates and

the cost of living crisis affects us all. Put simply, based on the current market circumstances, maintaining a level

of profit in 2023 that is consistent with the last two years will be difficult.


The effects of the rapid downward change in the market since late last year is reflected in the low number of

sales we have been able to achieve over the last few months. Jason will outline the year to date sales revenue

in his presentation.



The current volatility in the property markets makes forecasting at this time very tricky and the reality is that most
factors which affect the property markets are outside our control. We will have a clearer picture at half year as to

what levels of profit we should be able to generate in 2023 and we will look to provide some more concrete

guidance when we release our half year results.

.

We can, however, look closely at those factors we can influence and we will be maintaining a very sharp focus

on generating sales and developing our future pipeline so that we are ready when markets begin to pick up as

they surely will. We will prioritise sales which we can settle this year in particular and we will look to ensure that

we have a sufficient number of sales which we can carry over into 2024 to give us a head start on our sales

revenue. .


While we need to be realistic in light of the current trading environment there are still reasons for shareholders to

be optimistic. The underlying potential that we have carefully built up over the last few years with strategic

acquisitions such as the Iona Block in Havelock North will yield profitable results as we gradually develop these

areas. There is a lot we can and we will do and there are many profitable years ahead.


We look forward to sharing our journey with you and we trust that you, our shareholders, will continue to support

us along the way.
