The interim distribution of 20,10 cents, being number 48 for Capital Property
Fund, has been declared in respect of the income distribution period 1 January
2007 to 30 June 2007.
COMMENTARY
Preparation and accounting policies
The interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as well as the requirements of the
Companies Act (Act 61 of 1973) and the Collective Investments Schemes Control
Act (Act 45 of 2002). The policies are consistent with those applied in the most
recent annual financial statements of the Fund. The interim financial statements
have not been audited or reviewed by the Fund`s auditors.
Distributable earnings
Capital`s distributable earnings for the interim period ended 30 June 2007
amounted to 20,10 cents per unit. This represents an increase of 10,87 % over
the 18,13 cents per unit distribution for the interim period ended 30 June 2006.
Commentary on results
Capital`s quality portfolio paid off with strong growth in distributions. The
quality of the portfolio was further upgraded with the acquisition of modern
industrial and office properties in sought-after locations, such as Longmeadow,
Meadowdale, Midrand, Sunninghill and Centurion. This bodes well for future
growth.
The portfolio is performing well with renewals and re-lettings exceeding
budgeted expectations. Vacancies remain low at 1,6% and demand for quality
industrial and office space continues unabated.
Building costs continue to rise ahead of escalations and core CPI, which is
positive for future rental increases at lease expiry.
Borrowings
In the current interest rate sensitive environment, the proceeds on the sale of
the non-core properties were applied to extinguish debt. The impact of the
reduction of debt has enhanced the Fund`s overall yield.
The property portfolio
Acquisitions
In total, 19, mostly single tenanted buildings with tenants including ABB,
Digistics, Distell, Eskom and Siemens (now Nokia Siemens Networks) were acquired
since the last financial year-end for a total consideration of R663 million. All
new purchases were in the Gauteng region, which has solid growth prospects and
makes the portfolio more efficient to manage. More than 60% of the portfolio`s
value is now located in Gauteng.
The industrial joint venture in Midrand with Improvon is proceeding well. The
fencing, gatehouse, services and internal roadways are nearing completion, and
construction has started on the first warehouse pre-let to a multi-national
corporation.

Growth drivers in the portfolio
The growth fundamentals for the portfolio are strong as normal escalations are
expected to remain above CPI. Further, Capital has a number of positive
reversions due for renewal in the future, which will add to the rental base
going forward.
As the stock of strategic properties has become harder to find, Capital will
continue to partner with top developers in the office and industrial sectors to
gain access to development pipelines in strong growth areas.
The retail component of the Fund has been reduced in terms of the total
portfolio and this is in line with Capital`s strategy to focus on the industrial
and office sectors going forward.
Prospects
Strong economic growth accompanied by increases in building costs bodes well for
rising rentals and capital growth for commercial real estate in South Africa. In
the industrial sector these factors are further positively influenced by a
shortage of zoned land in good locations.
Capital is expected to continue to provide strong growth in distributions for
the foreseeable future.
Profit distribution
Notice is hereby given that a cash distribution of 20,10 cents per unit, being
