Examples of completed deals in 2019

Dear Clients,

This is in response to frequent inquiries about the resulting gross margins on agricultural land trades executed to cover client returns in real investments or cash management.

We are often asked how it is possible to offer an investment appreciation of 12% p.a. or higher and keep the entire investment model profitable over the long term.

To get a basic idea of what active agricultural land trading can look like, we illustrate examples of our Portfolio Manager’s executed trades in 2019. This gives clients a closer look into the “business kitchen” of the company.

We deliberately chose 2019 because of the stagnation of demand and balanced supply, which were reflected in a year-on-year increase in market prices of land across the country of “only” 1.3% (farmy.cz). From the examples of the transactions documented, it is clear that it is possible to achieve a much higher appreciation (gross profitability) than the average annual increase in market prices through proper land selection (parameterisation), detailed knowledge of demand and market prices.

The long-term results are confirmed by the large number of completed transactions, which alone determine the real market price and thus the resulting gross profit. We adapt our trading strategy to the macroeconomic and monetary conditions of the period. However, in the long term, we maintain a gross profitability of 20-30% p.a. and adjust our land selection and entry prices for purchases accordingly. We have already published the gross profitability levels for land sold within APF GROUP for 2021 (29.24%, note gross profitability is calculated on the purchase price of the land). We are currently compiling the results for 2022, which we will inform you about.

There are many would-be “experts” in the market for agricultural land trading and guaranteed “market price experts” or various types of analysts. If someone works in the real estate business, it does not mean that he is an expert in trading agricultural land, unless he specializes in it for a long time and does a high number of real transactions. Often, farmers themselves are not experts in land trading as they only buy land in their action radius and directly from tenants who have no idea what the real market price of the land they are selling to them in this way is. The confrontation with the real market price is then very uncomfortable for them.

So if you are looking for an expert, ask how many deals he has completed and with what results. You can judge by that whether you are getting appropriate answers or just “amateur” assumptions and opinions. The APF GROUP honours the principle that every published figure must be substantiated and therefore realistic.

Practically, we are able to provide you with evidence of every transaction carried out within the Group (purchase contract purchase – purchase contract sale). The total number of trades executed by the Portfolio Manager exceeded 1500 and the total amount of CZK 900 million.

The aforementioned after-tax income was used to finance the establishment and development of Agrární půdní fond s.r.o. In 2021 and 2022, the income from business of a natural person were fully transferred to a legal entity. This answers a common question as to where the funding for the development of the company came from and whether the agricultural land business was already profitable before the establishment of Agrarian Land Fund Ltd.

Thank you for your cooperation and trust so far.

Modification of the General Terms and Conditions for real products from 1.6.2023

Dear Clients,

We would like to inform you that as of 1 June 2023, new General Terms and Conditions for real products (IZP, DIZP, PDIZP, IP and IPI) will come into force. The modification of the GTC, as previously mentioned, consists in setting the amount of the minimum secured yield (MZV), which is part of the future purchase price specified in the future purchase contract. Until now, the amount of the MFA has been set as fixed (e.g. 12% p.a.). From 1 June 2023, the amount of the MFA will be set as a floating rate depending on the level of the base reference rate. The basic reference rate corresponds to the discount rate announced by the CNB (currently 6% p.a.). Construction of the total amount of the MFA = basic reference rate + risk premium (e.g. 6% p.a. + 4% p.a.). The total amount of the IRR will be determined on the date of signing the General Terms and Conditions and will be valid for the entire duration of the investment.

The full text of the GTC can be found at: https://apfgroupcr.com/en/produkt/

These terms and conditions will reflect real macroeconomic developments and monetary conditions in the Czech Republic.

Joint and several liability of individual companies in the APF GROUP

Dear Clients,

Within the framework of the concluded obligations of individual companies in the APF GROUP (https://apfgroupcr.com/en/skupina-apf/), we apply the principle of joint and several liability for these obligations with immediate effect.

In practice, this principle means for the creditors of each company in the APF GROUP that if a company fails to fulfil its contractual obligation towards the creditor, the creditor is entitled to call upon any other company in the APF GROUP to fulfil the company’s obligation and the company is obliged to fulfil the obligation jointly and severally. This principle is intended to significantly strengthen the position of the creditor (client) in the contractual relationship and thus reduce the risk of possible future delinquency of an individual company. At the same time, the principle of joint and several liability will be incorporated into all binding contracts.

The APF GROUP hereby declares that the principle of joint and several liability of individual companies in the APF GROUP also applies to all previously concluded contractual relationships of individual companies in the APF GROUP.

Thank you for your trust and cooperation so far.

Andrea Mičulková, owner of APF GROUP

New project within the APF GROUP

Dear Clients,

We would like to inform you about another of our projects within the APF GROUP.

We have acquired an unmaintained plot of land registered as arable land in the outskirts of the village of Hněvotín with an area of 645 m2 into the ownership of APF GROUP in May 2022. The land is situated between a development of houses and a secondary paved municipal road. A high-pressure gas pipeline runs through the plot, which does not allow to use the land as a building plot. It was fallow land without trees and shrubs, but with high soil fertility (BPEJ). There was no lease agreement for the land.

As an agricultural entrepreneur, we decided to use the land to establish a commercial garden based on natural principles at the lowest possible cost. Our goal is to create a low cost edible and living garden that will be used to grow vegetables, fruits, small berries, medicinal herbs and flowers. At the same time, we aim to attract birds, insects and small animals to the garden by planting shrubs and establishing flowering meadows. All activities will be in line with ecological principles without the use of chemicals and with sustainability for future generations. The project is financed from the retained earnings of the APF GROUP. By implementing this project, we will achieve a significant long-term appreciation of the land owned by the APF GROUP.

We will keep you informed about the development of the project.

Thank you for your cooperation and trust so far.

Market prices for agricultural land in 2022

Dear clients,
We bring you information on the development of market prices of agricultural land for 2022. Based on the Report on the Land Market for 2022 published by FARMY.CZ s.r.o., the market prices for 2022 have increased by 13.51% compared to 2021 throughout the Czech Republic.

Agrarian Land Fund Ltd (APF) hereby comments on the changes in market prices for the year 2022. With regard to the locations in which our company actively trades (main agricultural production areas), we provide information on the changes in market prices in individual districts:

These are the average market prices in the localities in question for predominantly arable land with a BPEJ above CZK 10,-/m2 (Decree No.227/2018 Coll. issued by the Ministry of Agriculture), in climate zones 0,1,2,3 and selected land in zones 4 and 6, with a maximum medium slope. All plots are proffered under market conditions.

The market prices are derived from actual transactions during 2022 and reflect the real development of market prices in the listed locations. APF executed a total of 370 transactions in 2022 with a total value of CZK 201,790,246. These values show a significant difference in market prices compared to the average market prices for all types of agricultural land and for the whole country.

In terms of further development of market prices, APF expects a gradual increase in the interest of non-agricultural investors in investing in agricultural land as a suitable way of protecting their money from inflation depreciation. There will continue to be a highly selective demand for specific locations and land with above-average BPEJ. The pace of market price growth will be influenced primarily by further developments in inflation and interest rates. The development of the conflict in Ukraine will also play a role, which will be more likely to be reflected in the long-term growth potential of world agricultural commodity prices.

We would like to thank you for your support and cooperation so far.

§ 3 ZPKT (No. 256/2004 Coll., Act on Business on Capital Markets) contains an exhaustive list of investment instruments, although the company calls the purchase of real estate an investment, it is not an investment in investment instruments and the ZPKT does not apply to this service. The collection of property from the public is concerned with this matter relating to services only for the preparation of documents for purchase and subsequent purchase from the client. APF does not have the option to dispose of the investor’s property in any way possible. There is no joint property management of AFP clients, as each client owns real estate, AFP does not handle the purchase and sale, however, it helps with the conclusion of purchase contracts through a real estate agency.

Conclusion:

We have not found any flaws with this service.

The additional product Participation in the purchase of agricultural land was introduced on the recommendation of the audit in accordance with Act No. 240/2013 Coll., on investment companies and investment funds.
