CONDENSED AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010
DIRECTORS` COMMENTARY
A final distribution of 111,23 cents per linked unit has been declared for the
six months ended 31 December 2010. This brings the total distributions for the
2010 financial year to 211,83 cents per linked unit against 194,13 cents for the
previous financial year, a 9,12% increase. The highlights of the financial year
were the successful openings of I`langa Mall and Brits Mall.
Although the South African economy has emerged from the recession, growth in
retail sales remains sluggish. The non-metropolitan retail centres in the
portfolio continued to outperform those in metropolitan areas. Whilst the
official inflation rate declined over the period, Resilient experienced property
operating cost increases in its comparable portfolio of 19,9% against growth in
gross rentals and recoveries of 12,3%. The bulk of the cost increases were in
administered prices, particularly rates and utilities, over which management has
limited control.
1 PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
Central Park Bloemfontein
This property situated in the CBD of Bloemfontein was acquired for R73,8 million
in October 2010. Resilient has achieved significant rental increases and
operating cost reductions and the property is performing well. The property is
connected to the adjacent taxi rank and to the railway station by an aerial
pedestrian bridge. A bus rank is situated on the roof of the building. Tenant
demand for the property is strong and plans are in progress to extend and
refurbish the centre.
Circus Triangle Mthatha
Resilient has acquired this 20 800 m2 GLA mall in the CBD of Mthatha at a
forward yield of 9,5% and at a cost of R225 million, effective December 2010.
The mall is anchored by Shoprite and Woolworths and includes a number of
national clothing retailers. The intention is to extend the mall to provide for
the expansion of the existing retailers as well as to introduce additional
national clothing retailers.
2 COMPLETED DEVELOPMENTS
Brits Mall
Resilient has an 80% undivided share in this mall which opened on schedule in
October 2010 at a projected yield of 9,5%. Brits mall has a GLA of 37 500 m2 and
is anchored by Checkers, Edgars, Pick `n Pay and Woolworths and includes all
major national clothing retailers. Most tenants report that their stores are
trading ahead of budget.
I`langa Mall
This 45 000 m2 GLA mall in Nelspruit opened on schedule in April 2010. The mall
is anchored by Edgars, Game, Pick `n Pay and Woolworths and includes all major
clothing retailers. Resilient acquired an additional 25% interest in the mall at
a forward yield of 8% which increased its undivided share in the property to
50%.
3 EXTENSIONS
Highveld Mall
The 6 200 m2 GLA extension to Highveld Mall to accommodate Dischem, Capitec,
@Home and Standard Bank, as well as the extension to Pick `n Pay, was completed
within budget and on schedule in November 2010. Further extensions utilising the
remaining bulk are currently under evaluation.
Nelspruit Plaza
The 2 400 m2 GLA extension to Nelspruit Plaza to accommodate Ackermans, DFX,
John Craig, Markham, Sterns, Totalsport and Truworths Man was completed within
budget and on schedule in May 2010.
Northam Plaza
Construction of a 6 000 m2 GLA extension to Northam Plaza to accommodate
Truworths, John Craig, Standard Bank, Totalsport and an extension to Shoprite
commenced in May 2010. This extension is anticipated to achieve a yield of 13%.
In July 2010 the Shoprite store was destroyed by fire. The damage was fully
covered by insurance. The Shoprite store was enlarged, rebuilt and reopened for
the Christmas trade in December 2010.
4 NEW DEVELOPMENTS
Burgersfort Mall
During the current financial year, Resilient plans to commence construction of a
38 000 m2 GLA mall with four anchors and all major national clothing retailers
represented. The development is projected to yield 9,5%.
Mall of the North
Resilient has a 57% interest in this 75 000 m2 GLA regional mall being developed
in Polokwane. The mall is 98,5% let and is on schedule to open in April 2011.
The mall will be anchored by Checkers, Edgars, Game, Pick `n Pay and Woolworths
and includes all major national clothing retailers. The development was
projected to yield 9,5% but current indications are that a yield of 9,75% will
be achieved.
Tzaneen Lifestyle Centre
Construction of a retail centre with a first phase GLA of 8 000 m2 commenced in
January 2011 with completion scheduled for December 2011. The development is
projected to achieve a forward yield of 9%. Resilient has a 70% interest in this
development.

Nepi was treated as an associate (equity accounted) and was thus not fair valued
at 31 December 2010. Nepi acquired its investment advisor, Nepi Investment
Management Limited during the year. The purchase price of EUR6,3 million was
settled through the issue of 2 450 748 shares in Nepi. Resilient received 1 531
717 shares in payment for its 62,5% shareholding in NEPI Investment Management
Limited. In addition, Resilient followed its rights in the Nepi rights issue
which closed during December 2010.
Capital has made an offer to acquire all of the Pangbourne linked units in issue
that are not already held by it pursuant to a scheme of arrangement. The offer
is primarily on the basis of an all-unit consideration which would entail all
Pangbourne unitholders swapping their linked units in Pangbourne for units in
Capital at a swap ratio of 2,38 Capital units for each Pangbourne unit.
Resilient owns Property Fund Managers Limited ("PFM"), the asset manager of
Capital. As part of and subject to the implementation of the scheme, Resilient
has agreed that, with effect from 1 January 2011, the asset management fee
charged by PFM in respect of Capital will be reduced from 0,5% to 0,4% of the
market capitalisation and borrowings of Capital. The lower fee will be offset by
the increased market capitalisation and borrowings of Capital.
6 VACANCIES
Vacancies increased marginally from 2,9% at 30 June 2010 to 3,1% at year end,
largely as a result of the opening of Brits Mall. These are expected to decline
during the 2011 financial year as vacancies at Brits Mall, The Galleria and The
Grove are let.
7 BORROWINGS
Resilient funded the acquisitions, developments and extensions with debt and the
proceeds from the sale of listed property securities. In addition, the value of
direct property and listed securities increased significantly resulting in
Resilient`s gearing declining marginally from 26,4% to 25,8%.
With interest rates at or near the bottom of the current cycle, Resilient took
advantage of these attractive interest rates and extended its swap profile
particularly in the five to seven year periods.
A commercial note programme was implemented with a current limit of R500 million
in November 2010. Resilient raised R235 million at a cost of 50 basis points
over Jibar for 3-month money. A R160 million two-year unsecured facility
arranged by RMB at a margin of 155 basis points over Jibar was accepted in
November 2010. The Omsfin overnight facility was increased by R150 million to
R250 million and the interest rate was 6,5% as at 31 December 2010.
Loans of R665,0 million and R539,5 million were accepted from Standard Bank and
RMB respectively. A portion of the proceeds was utilised to repay expiring
facilities including the conduit facility.
8 PROSPECTS
Management remains concerned about property operating costs escalating at a
higher rate than gross rentals which limits growth in distributions. The Mall of
the North which opens in April 2011 is, however, expected to have a positive
impact on distributions. Growth in distributions of approximately 8% is forecast
for the 2011 year. The growth is based on the assumptions that a stable macro-
economic environment will prevail, no major corporate failures will occur and
that tenants will be able to absorb the recovery of rising utility costs.
Budgeted rental income was based on contractual escalations and market related
renewals. This forecast has not been audited or reviewed by Resilient`s
auditors.

NOTES
1 PREPARATION AND AUDIT OPINION
The condensed audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the measurement and recognition requirements of IFRS, the AC500
standards, the principles of IAS34: Interim Financial Reporting, the JSE
Listings Requirements and the requirements of the South African Companies Act.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those applied in the prior
periods except for the recognition of deferred tax. In December 2010 the IASB
released amendments to IAS 12 effective from 1 January 2012. These amendments
impact on the rate at which deferred tax is recognised specifically on the fair
value movement of the building component of investment property as it
establishes a presumption that it will be recovered through disposal and hence
will attract deferred tax at the capital gains tax rate. Resilient has elected
the early adoption of these amendments and applied them retrospectively as
required by IAS 8. It is the view of the board that the adoption of this policy
results in more accurate and meaningful information. The early adoption had the
following effect on the results: deferred tax balance Dec 2008: R162 910 000
decrease; Dec 2009: R108 905 000 decrease cumulative; income tax expense Dec
2009: R54 005 000 increase; basic earnings per share and per linked unit Dec
2009: 22,20 cents decrease; diluted earnings per share and per linked unit Dec
2009: 21,26 cents decrease and no effect on headline and diluted headline
earnings per linked unit.
The directors are not aware of any matters or circumstances arising subsequent
to year end that require any additional disclosure or adjustment to the
financial statements.
Deloitte & Touche have issued their unmodified opinion on the group financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2010. These condensed financial
statements have been derived from the group financial statements and are, in all
material respects, consistent with the group financial statements. A copy of
their audit report is available for inspection at the company`s registered
office.

2.1 To comply with financial reporting requirements the group will account for
entities that do not form part of its operations, do not operate under its
operating policies and whose businesses, risk profiles and debt levels are not
comparable with its own. Disclosure under "Property operations" excludes Eagle`s
Eye Investments (Proprietary) Limited (BEE SPV).
2.2 On 27 June 2006 10 810 811 linked units were issued to BEE SPV and Resilient
is standing surety for the funding obligations of BEE SPV in acquiring these
units. In terms of IFRS the issue did not take place and the essence of the
transaction was that the BEE shareholders received a right/option to acquire
linked units in Resilient at a future date at a predetermined price. As a
consequence the issue of linked units has been eliminated in the preparation of
these financial statements. The right/option the BEE shareholders have acquired
has a value of R118 900 000 (Dec 2009: R65 784 000; Dec 2008: R28 310 000). The
value of this right/option will be considered on an ongoing basis and changes in
its fair value are accounted for through profit and loss.
The following table indicates the effect of the BEE transaction on the group
financial statements (the column "Property operations" indicates Resilient`s
