BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The reviewed preliminary condensed financial results for the year ended 31 March 2012 have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), the presentation and disclosure requirements of IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and AC 500 standards issued by the Accounting Practices Board and the requirements of the Companies Act, 71 of 2008. The company`s accounting policies as set out in the Fund`s pre-listing statement and those applied at the interim stage have been consistently applied. These reviewed preliminary condensed financial results have been prepared under the supervision of Dave Donald, CA(SA) and David Tew, CA(SA). Commentary Introduction The Fund listed in the "Real Estate Holdings and Development" sector of the JSE Limited ("JSE") on 14 April 2011. At listing the initial property portfolio of the Fund comprised 29 properties in South Africa with a total GLA of 368 530mSquared acquired for a total purchase consideration of R1 696,5 million, which were independently valued at R1 771,0 million. A key objective at this stage of our life cycle is to grow our asset base to maximise economies of scale, create a portfolio effect to mitigate risk and to position the Fund to effectively compete for new acquisition opportunities. Consequently a key focus area with dedicated people is to continually seek investment opportunities to expand the portfolio while continuing to professionally asset manage the property portfolio, thus optimising returns to our linked unitholders over time. Although not all included in the results from a timing perspective, the Fund has during its first year increased its asset base by R490,0 million (28,9% increase from the acquired cost of the initial portfolio) by the acquisition of 5 high-quality properties. Our strategic focus expressed from the outset is that we are a property-orientated business and that aggressive acquisitions may be made from time to time if thought to have long-term benefits. Also, we look to acquire good real estate rather than look to balance by sector or geography, while acknowledging that our portfolio at listing was underweight retail. Our acquisitions have been both financially enhancing and enhancing to our portfolio in general as well as to our retail portfolio. Of the 5 acquisitions, 3 were effective in the current year, adding R225,9 million to the value of the property portfolio. Taking into account the current year`s revaluation of the property portfolio of R139,2 million, and capital expenditure of R3,8 million, this brings the total property portfolio at year- end to 32 properties with a total GLA of 406 706mSquared and a value of R2 065,4 million; a total increase in assets of 21,7%. Following transfer of the 2 remaining acquisitions of R264,1 million, which is anticipated to be in the first quarter of the next financial year, the total property portfolio will comprise 34 properties with a total GLA of 431 447mSquared and a value of R2 329,5 million; a total increase in assets of 37,3%. At listing our linked units were initially placed at a price of R9,50 per linked unit and closed at year-end at R11,70 per unit. Factoring in the interim distribution of 43,73 cents per unit ("cpu"), linked unitholders who invested at the listing have achieved a total return of nearly 28%. Commentary on results Following our initial distribution of 43,73 cpu the Board of Directors ("Board") is pleased to announce a final distribution of 49,29 cents cpu for the year ended 31 March 2012 bringing the total distribution for the year to 93,02 cpu. This exceeded our initial estimate of 89,94 cpu by approximately 3,4%. As the Fund was dormant before listing and only took effective control of the initial property portfolio from the beginning of the financial year under review, no comparative results are presented. The independent revaluation of our property portfolio has resulted in a R139,2 million fair value adjustment; an 8,2% increase on the initial property portfolio. The Board has in certain instances continued to take a conservative view on valuations having not recognised revaluation adjustments on vacant space and undeveloped bulk, both of which are valued by the independent valuers. Consequently the fair value attributed to the total property portfolio by the Board is R62,4 million less than that attributed by the independent valuers. The Fund`s property portfolio comprises a high proportion of single tenanted properties with quality clients and given this defensive portfolio, our performance has been resilient. As always, client retention and renewals of expiring rentals have been a key focus and we have been successful in this regard, showing a 2,7% vacancy at year-end from the 3,7% vacancy at listing. The vacancy remains solely in the industrial portfolio (4,1% of the industrial portfolio by GLA). During the period, the Fund has successfully re-negotiated various expired leases for renewal with certain of these achieving positive rental reversions. We have further been successful in letting out vacant space. Key successes for the year include: - In the industrial portfolio a new letting of 21 565mSquared in Alrode to a major international company and 1 594mSquared to a major listed client at an all in 67% positive reversion as this space was previously under rented. - In our office portfolio, a new letting of 4 000mSquared in 345 Rivonia Road, Sandton to a high-quality client with the rental achieved exceeding the rental guarantee provided by Investec Property. The rental accrues to the Fund from May 2012. - In respect of 4 Protea Place in the Sandton CBD a renewal for the entire building for a further period of 5 years commencing 1 March 2013 at 5,9% positive reversion. As part of the renewal and client retention process, the Fund will invest R19 million to both refurbish the building as well as provide additional parking in meeting the clients` requirements. Overall the sectoral vacancies at year-end were as follows: Total GLA Leased Vacant Vacancy (mSquared) (mSquared) (mSquared) (%)

Number of unitholders 1 817 Property costs The cost to income ratio for the Fund is calculated on the basis where revenue includes: billings for contractual rental income, contractual operating cost recoveries, rates recoveries and turnover rentals whilst the full expense is included as property expenses (except for utility expenses which are reflected net of recoveries). On this basis the net cost to income ratio is 18,2%. Should utility expenses be reflected on a gross basis with the recovery reflected in revenue the cost to income ratio would be 26,0%. Despite rapidly escalating electricity and rates charges, the net cost to income ratio is relatively low as the rate of operating cost recovery from clients has been maintained during the year. Even where we are able to recover these administered costs from our clients, the escalations still increase the total occupancy costs for our clients. In addition, the low cost to income ratio reflects the fact that the Fund has a high proportion of single tenanted properties where municipal charges are paid directly by the client to the relevant authorities. Acquisitions During the year under review we announced the acquisition of 5 properties which will increase the property portfolio by R490,0 million; an increase in assets of 28,9% from the acquired cost of the initial portfolio, including the redevelopment being undertaken for General Electric. Once these acquisitions are concluded this will bring the total portfolio to 34 properties. All acquisitions are anticipated to contribute positively to the results and distributions of the Fund in the forthcoming year. A brief summary of the acquisitions and their current status is as follows: - The Innovation Group building was acquired for R151 million at a 9,75% forward yield and is situated at 192 Bram Fischer Drive, Randburg. This property was refurbished by Investec Property (Pty) Limited in accordance with the client`s specifications and provides 15 500mSquared of quality B-grade office accommodation over 9 floors and two basements providing 516 parking bays and storage space. The Innovation Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Innovation Group plc, occupies the entire building with a 10-year rental agreement and an 8,0% annual escalation. The effective date for this acquisition was 1 October 2011 notwithstanding, transfer date, with the Fund required to pay interest on the vendor loan at a call rate until transfer took place in December 2011. - The Scientific Building was acquired for R34,9 million at a 10,0% forward yield and is situated in the new Cosmo Business Park, just north of Kya Sands, Gauteng. This property provides 5 733mSquared of industrial and auxiliary office space and is fully let to the Scientific Group on a 7-year lease with an 8,0% annual escalation. The Scientific Group provides diagnostic and medical equipment to the health industry. The effective date for this acquisition was 1 October 2011, notwithstanding transfer date, with the Fund required to pay interest on the vendor loan at a call rate until transfer takes place. We anticipate that transfer will take place in the first quarter of the next financial year. - In October 2011 we announced the acquisition of Great North Road Plaza in Musina situated in the Limpopo Province to the value of R145 million. This property provides 13 561mSquared of retail space, 88,0% of which is let to national tenants. It is anticipated to yield 9,2% in the first year and transfer of this property is anticipated in the first quarter of the next financial year following receipt of the necessary competition approval. - In November 2011 we announced the acquisition of the General Electric Building located at 130 Gazelle Street, Corporate Park, Midrand for a total purchase consideration including redevelopment costs of approximately R119,1 million at a 9,0% initial forward yield. Investec Property (Pty) Limited will undertake the refurbishment of the building on behalf of the Fund. The property provides 11 180mSquared of office and industrial space and is fully let under an 8-year lease with an 8,5% escalation to General Electric South Africa. Transfer of this property is anticipated in the first quarter of the next financial year. - In March 2012 we announced the acquisition of the British American Tobacco (BAT) Building located at 285 Maggs Street, Waltloo, Pretoria for a total purchase consideration of R40 million at a 10,25% forward yield. The Property is an industrial warehouse facility providing 13 170mSquared of GLA comprising 87% warehouse space and 13% of office space. The property was specifically redeveloped for BAT South Africa who is the sole tenant. The lease is for 5 years escalating at 8%, with the option to renew for a further five years thereafter. Any rates increases above 8% are recoverable from the tenant. In terms of the lease the Fund will be responsible for insurance and repairs and maintenance. The effective date for this acquisition was 1 December 2011, notwithstanding transfer date, with the Fund required to pay interest on the vendor loan at Jibar plus 225 bps until transfer takes place, which is anticipated in the first quarter of the next financial year. No properties were disposed of in the year under review. Fair value adjustments The independent revaluation of our property portfolio resulted in a R139,2 million increase in the value of our portfolio. Valuations are conducted annually by independent valuators and we believe fairly reflect the open market value of the properties, with each property being independently valued at least every 3 years. The increase in fair value is primarily due to the escalation of rentals over the period. In certain instances, a lower valuation than the independent valuation was adopted by the Board as it takes a conservative view on valuations and does not recognise the valuation attributable to vacant space where there is any uncertainty in the short-term ability to let this space and any value attributable to undeveloped bulk, both of which are valued by the independent valuers. Consequently the fair value attributed to the total property portfolio by the Board is R62,4 million less than that attributed by the independent valuers. The total fair value adjustment attributed to investment properties is reduced by the total straight-line rental revenue adjustment that has already been attributed to the fair value of the investment properties. The debentures forming part of our linked units are reflected at fair value which represents the net asset value attributable to debenture holders. In terms of the debenture trust deed, the interest payable on the debentures is always at a minimum 999 times the dividend payable on the ordinary shares. Ultimately all the fair value adjustments on the assets and liabilities of the Fund are therefore attributable to the debentures. Consequently the net effect of the fair value adjustments on investment property, borrowings and derivative assets is adjusted to the fair value of the debentures. Arrears Receivables have been tightly managed for the year and at year-end, arrears were limited to R1,4 million; representing 0,7% of total collectables. A provision of R1,2 million has been provided for potential bad debts. Borrowings The Fund was ungeared at listing to provide a strong acquisitive platform. To finance the acquisitions we have raised a bridge loan of R500 million and a working capital facility of R20 million to fund capital expenditure. Both facilities have been provided by Investec Bank Limited and we are paying a margin of 225 bps above Jibar. There are no commitment or facility fees on the undrawn facilities. Of the acquisitions only Innovation (R151,0 million) transferred before year-end which was funded from the bridge loan. The cash generated by the Fund in the second half of the year was used to reduce this loan to minimise the finance costs of the Fund. With the Scientific (R34,9 million) and BAT (R40,0 million) acquisitions being effective in the current year we have included these properties in our property portfolio and raised the corresponding vendor loans of R74,9 million, bringing the total borrowings to R132,1 million at year-end, including the fair value adjustment of R1,2 million on our fixed for variable interest swap derivative instrument. After year-end we registered a R1 billion domestic medium-term note ("DMTN") programme and successfully placed R450 million of secured notes, the proceeds of which will be used to repay the outstanding borrowings and the balance of the acquisitions, other than BAT. As part of this programme we obtained a BBB+ credit rating on an unsecured basis and an A for the secured notes which we issued. These notes were placed at an all in rate of 8,3% providing an attractive medium-term debt facility for the Fund. At listing we indicated a maximum gearing level of 50% loan to value ratio ("LTV"), although we will target an LTV between 30% - 40%. At year-end the LTV of the Fund was 6,2%, however taking into account that this includes the cash to be distributed to linked unitholders the effective LTV is 10,2%. Once all acquisitions have been concluded the LTV will be 20,4%. With the primary purpose of the Fund being to invest in real estate the Board has taken the decision not to speculate in interest rates on our borrowings and have established a policy that a minimum of 75% of total borrowings be fixed. At year-end with only the Innovation acquisition (R151 million) having transferred, the Fund took out a fixed interest rate derivative providing nominal cover of R113,3 million for this exposure. The fixed rate obtained was 7,15% which has been factored into our determination of the all in borrowing cost of the Fund of 8,3% above. As alluded to earlier there was a R1,2 million fair value adjustment on this derivative instrument at year-end. Post-balance sheet events Other than the registration of the DMTN programme and the issue of R450 million of secured notes after year-end as described above, there have been no material events that occurred between the year-end and the date of these reviewed preliminary condensed financial results that would have a material effect on the financial results of the Fund. Sustainability and prospects Sustainability is a key business imperative for the Fund. The Board will continue to manage the areas of risk that fall under its direct control and will seek to manage the property portfolio to enhance value for stakeholders and to provide quality space for our clients. Future investment will be targeted at attractive properties that provide stable rental income and good growth prospects over time. The Board expects that the renewal of tenancies in the year ahead will continue to be challenging and, accordingly, client retention will remain a high priority. Given this environment, but taking the announced acquisitions into account and ignoring any future acquisitions, the Board believes that the Fund should be able to deliver growth in distributions for FY2013 in the region of 8%. This forecast is based on the assumptions that the macro-economic environment will not deteriorate markedly, no major corporate failures will occur, budgeted renewals will be concluded and that clients will be able to absorb the recovery of rising rates and utility costs. Budgeted rental income was based on contractual escalations and market-related renewals. The information and opinions contained above are recorded and expressed in good faith and are based upon sources believed to be reliable.
