Condensed unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for the three
and six months ended 31 March 2017

Directors' commentary
Structure and listing
Greenbay is a Category One Global Business Licence company registered in 
Mauritius. The company has primary listings on both the Official Market of the 
Stock Exchange of Mauritius Ltd ("SEM") and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange
Limited ("JSE"). Greenbay's AltX listing was migrated to the Main Board of the 
JSE on 29 March 2017.

Greenbay invests globally in direct property as well as in listed real estate 
and infrastructure securities.

Distributable earnings and commentary on results
Distributable earnings of 0,204 GBP pence per share exceeded guidance 
provided in September 2016. The board's dividend policy allows for retaining 
distributable earnings and the board has declared a dividend of 0,20 GBP pence 
per share for the interim period ended March 2017.

As announced on 13 April 2017, the company's functional, trading and reporting 
currency has changed from GBP to EUR effective from April 2017, after the end 
of the current reporting period, and accordingly the dividend and these 
financial results are reported in GBP.

Subject to final regulatory approvals, shareholders will be given the option 
to receive their dividend either in cash or as a scrip dividend. A circular 
containing details of this election, accompanied by announcements on the Stock 
Exchange News Service of the JSE as well as the website of the SEM, will 
be issued in due course.

In a volatile global economy Greenbay increased its net asset value per 
share from 4,80 GBP pence at March 2016 to 7,35 GBP pence at March 2017, an 
increase of 53,1%. The increase in net asset value since September 2016 was 
8,7%. Following the oversubscribed capital raise in March 2017, Greenbay had 
a loan-to-value ratio of 6,5% at the interim period end. With the increased 
direct property exposure, the board's policy is not to exceed a loan-to-value 
ratio of 45%.

Direct property
Greenbay has acquired 50% of the holding company of Forum Coimbra and Forum 
Viseu, two retail centres in Portugal, for EUR109,625 million. This represents 
a yield of approximately 6%. Greenbay sourced and concluded the transaction 
and brought Resilient REIT Limited ("Resilient") in as a 50% partner due to 
the size of the investment, to access the retail and development expertise 
of Resilient for the centres acquired and in order to be positioned to 
access further development opportunities in Portugal. The transaction is 
expected to be finalised by the end of May 2017.

Forum Coimbra in the city of Coimbra is the dominant regional centre in the 
Centro Region of Portugal. This 51 489m2 GLA centre provides a comprehensive 
retail and entertainment offering and is fully let to 146 major international 
and national tenants including Primark, H&M, C&A, and eight Inditex brands 
including Zara, Massimo Dutti and Lefties. The centre's entertainment offering 
includes a six-screen cinema, tenpin bowling and a large food court. The 
17 700m2 hypermarket, Continente, included in the total GLA is separately 
owned. The three-year compound annual growth in turnover was 4,9% and tenant 
demand exists for an extension that will be further evaluated in due course.

Forum Viseu is in the city centre of Viseu. This 18 705m2 GLA shopping centre 
is let to forty-eight major international and national tenants including Pingo 
Doce, Sacoor, Cinema Nos and Inditex brands Zara, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Pull 
& Bear, Lefties, Stradivarius and Oysho. The three-year compound annual growth 
in turnover was 4,4%. Forum Viseu's immediate catchment area is approximately 
100 000 people.

Portugal's economic outlook is improving with a commitment to fiscal reform. 
The budget deficit is at a forty-year low, the economy has been growing for 
thirteen straight quarters and unemployment fell below double digits in 
March 2017. National retail sales grew by 4,7% year-on-year underpinned by 
improving consumer and business confidence. However, risks do remain around 
elevated levels of public and corporate sector debt.

Planet Koper in Koper, Slovenia continues to trade well with growth in retail 
sales and footfall. Reconfiguration of the mall to introduce new international 
brands is scheduled to commence before year end. Plans were submitted for 
the Tivoli Projekt d.o.o. in Ljubljana, Slovenia for approval.

Greenbay is currently evaluating further direct property acquisitions 
in Europe.

Listed investments
The listed portfolio is well diversified across the real estate and 
infrastructure sectors.

Greenbay's strategy of investing in the infrastructure sector has been 
successful. The sector is characterised by merger and acquisition activity. 
A number of holdings in the portfolio were acquired by larger competitors at 
significant premiums. The majority of the infrastructure securities invested 
in met or exceeded their guidance and market expectations.

The company remains opportunistic and divested from counters where the 
share prices had run ahead of assessed intrinsic values of the underlying 
businesses. New investments were made which were considered to have better 
growth prospects.

Facilities and interest rate derivatives
A five-year facility of EUR104,5 million at 3-month Euribor plus 2,15% has 
been secured against the Portuguese assets. The interest rate on this 
facility will be hedged on drawdown.

The company has a EUR27,5 million facility at 2,75% over Euribor secured 
against Planet Koper that expires in December 2026. A five-year interest 
rate cap at 0,0% was acquired that expires in January 2022.


Summary of financial performance

                                    Mar 2017          Sep 2016        Mar 2016
Dividend per share (GBP pence)          0,20            0,0999               - 
Shares in issue                6 302 299 068     4 920 833 333      25 000 000
Net asset value per share 
(GBP pence)                             7,35              6,76            4,80
Loan-to-value ratio* (%)                 6,5                 -            18,1

*The loan-to-value ratio is calculated by dividing interest-bearing borrowings 
adjusted for cash on hand by the total of investments in property, listed 
securities and loans advanced. The calculation furthermore includes the 
equity derivative positions on a gross basis.

Outlook
The board is confident that a dividend of approximately 0,236 EUR cents per 
share for the second half of the financial year will be declared. This, 
together with the interim dividend of 0,20 GBP pence per share, is in line 
with the guidance previously provided of 0,40 GBP pence per share for the 
2017 financial year. Greenbay expects a further 25% growth in dividends for 
the year ending September 2018.

This forecast statement and the forecasts underlying such statement are the 
responsibility of the board and have not been reviewed or reported on by 
the company's external auditors. The forecast is based on the assumptions 
that a stable global macro-economic environment will prevail and no failures 
of listed real estate or infrastructure companies will occur.

The company is required to publish financial results for the three and six 
months ended 31 March 2017 in terms of Listing Rule 12.19 of the SEM. 
Accordingly, this announcement presents the financial results of the group 
in respect of the period from 1 January 2017 to 31 March 2017 as well as 
the comparative results.

The accounting policies which have been applied are consistent with those 
used in the preparation of the audited financial statements for the year 
ended 30 September 2016.

This report was compiled under the supervision of Paul May CA(SA), the 
chief financial officer.

The financial statements have not been reviewed or reported on by the 
group's external auditors.

These financial statements were approved by the board on 11 May 2017.

This communique is issued pursuant to SEM Listing Rules 11.3 and 12.20

full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in these
