Greg Clarke, Chairman, commented:
“Following another busy period, today’s results represent a solid step forward for the Company and demonstrate
further progress in its aim to be a stronger, more resilient business focused on increasing returns to shareholders.
Earnings available for distribution have grown by almost 20% and, with that, we have been able to increase the interim
dividend by 6.7% to 1.60p per share. The pro-forma LTV has been further reduced and, following the recent
successful capital raise, Redefine International is in good shape to pursue its investment strategy and to further drive
portfolio performance against an improving economic backdrop.”
Mike Watters, Chief Executive, commented:
“The review period has again been characterised by high levels of activity across all areas of our business as we
continue to strengthen the asset base and key drivers underpinning our progressive dividend policy.
“A number of refurbishment and development projects have improved existing assets, while significant acquisitions
have expanded the portfolio, in-keeping with our focus on the core retail, commercial and hotel real estate sectors in
the UK and Germany. In addition, we have taken advantage of the strong investment market to dispose of non-core
holdings.
“The delivery of sustainable and growing long term income through innovative capital and asset management,
facilitated by capital recycling, remains our core objective. Our emphasis on building strong management teams to
extract maximum value from our asset base is also paying off. In an era of a seemingly limitless supply of capital, we
have to remain highly energised to stay ahead of the competition and we are confident that we are in a strong position
to do so.”

Business Review
Delivering on our strategy
We are focused on providing sustainable and growing income returns to shareholders. The portfolio is continually
being repositioned to recycle capital into assets where we see value, and to maintain a property portfolio that provides
a balance between defensive investments and assets that can be improved or repositioned with active asset
management.
The business has been transformed in recent years to:
- Enhance the quality of the portfolio;
- Provide a transparent corporate structure;
- Attract a diverse shareholder base resulting in improved liquidity;
- Significantly reduce leverage, and
- Extend the debt maturity profile.
The actions we have taken have provided a better quality, more resilient portfolio together with a lower risk capital
structure.
Secure income
Our tenants provide a diverse source of high quality income backed by strong covenants. Over 68% of gross income
is derived from foodstores, national retailers and companies, discounters, DIY stores and government bodies.

Exposure to different sectors and geographies
Our portfolio is diversified by sector and geography but is consistent in its focus on income. Over 40% of the portfolio
by value is located in London and the five largest German cities.
Income focused asset management
As an income focused business, we manage all aspects of our revenue and costs at both a property and corporate
level in order to maximise income available for distribution. We are focused on a number of areas to drive net income
growth, including:
Capturing rental growth from improving occupier markets
The recent improvement in occupier markets across a number of the sectors in which the Group operates is providing
increasing support for rental growth.
Discount and convenience retailing is one sector in particular that remains on a growth trajectory with operators such
as B&M Bargains, Home Bargains, Poundland and Iceland looking to expand their UK footprint. We are seeking to
capture demand for space and rental growth through the provision of new space at our convenience retail centres,
such as the planned further £5.0m extension at Birchwood, Warrington.
Improving regional office market dynamics resulting from of a limited supply of Grade A space, the removal of
significant amounts of tertiary stock through residential and student accommodation conversions and improved
economic prospects have created opportunities to reinvest within our portfolio at marginal returns in excess of what
can be achieved in the investment market. A planning application to redevelop the entrance and provide new tenant
amenities has been submitted for the 88,000 sqft Crescent Centre in Bristol. Rental levels of £13 - £15 per sqft are
being targeted post refurbishment from the current average level of £11.40 per sqft.
Creating new income streams
Ongoing improvements in our markets are creating demand-led opportunities to develop new retail space at a number
of our convenience led retail schemes. Developments detailed below at Birchwood, Seaham and Weston Favell are all
creating additional space for existing or new tenants.
The strength of the London limited service hotel market continues with PwC forecasting RevPAR growth in London of
5.1% in 2015. A further 21 hotel rooms are to be developed for Travelodge at Enfield and planning for a further 12
bedroom extension to the Holiday Inn Express, Southwark has been approved. Consideration is also being given to
the addition of between 50 and 80 bedrooms to the Holiday Inn Express at Royal Docks.
Investment activity
We remain opportunistic in terms of new investments and are continually looking to acquire real estate assets with
strong fundamentals and the ability to generate long term income streams with potential for growth. We continue to
identify opportunities to make earnings accretive acquisitions with the potential for capital growth through asset
management.
Uncommitted cash balances of approximately £88.2m were available to invest following the capital raising post period
end, of which £15.7m was utilised to acquire the final three office assets in the Delta portfolio.
Acquisitions of properties with a value of £142.5m (excluding acquisition costs) were completed during the period. In
addition, a further 44.9% interest was acquired in the Premium portfolio for €3.6m.
German retail portfolio
The Company completed the acquisition of 56 German retail properties in joint venture with Redefine Properties in
February 2015. The €156.8m market value of the properties reflected a net initial yield of 7.5%. The €100.0m of
existing bank debt secured against the properties is to be refinanced at approximately 50% LTV and post refinancing
is expected to produce a yield on equity in excess of 11.0%.
The portfolio totals over 128,000 sqm of lettable area and comprises a mix of stand-alone supermarkets, foodstore
anchored retail parks and cash and carry stores. The properties are well located within their respective micro markets,
with 85% of the total annual rental income located in western Germany and Berlin and the remainder in eastern
Germany. Key portfolio attributes include:
- Gross rental income of €12.6m with a WAULT of 10.3 years
- Portfolio occupancy of 99.2% by area
- 100% of gross rental income is subject to indexation of between 65% - 75% of German CPI
- Edeka, Netto, Rossmann and Real account for over 90% of gross rental income providing strong tenant covenants
The portfolio provides exposure to high quality, secure, indexed-linked cashflows with opportunities to extend existing
stores and re-gear leases.
Redefine International will manage the portfolio in return for a management fee of 0.375% of Redefine Properties
share of the portfolio’s gross asset value. The transaction is Redefine Properties’ first direct investment in Europe and
allows Redefine Properties to benefit from Redefine International’s experienced European asset management team.
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Edinburgh
This 138 bedroom hotel was acquired in September 2014 for £25.3m (excluding acquisition costs of £1.6m) reflecting
a net initial yield of 6.9%. The hotel was extensively refurbished and rebranded prior to acquisition and provides high
quality flexible accommodation suited to both business travellers and tourists. The hotel was and will continue to be
managed by RedefineBDL, the Company’s 25.3% associate. Since acquisition the hotel has traded in line with
expectations.
Premium portfolio, Germany
During the period, the Company acquired an additional 44.9% interest in the Premium joint venture for an equity
consideration of £2.8m. The portfolio has a current market value of €33.6m (£24.4m) reflecting a net initial yield of
6.9%.
Delamere Place, Crewe
On 21 April 2015, the Company exchanged contracts to dispose of Delamere Place, Crewe for a net amount of
approximately £5.5m. The asset was revalued to £5.5m in the current period.
Delta portfolio
The Company exchanged contracts to acquire the final three office assets in the Delta portfolio from the current
security pool for approximately £15.7m post period end. The net proceeds will be utilised to repay the existing Delta
facility. The acquisition price reflected a net initial yield of 13.0%.
A number of asset management opportunities exist to create value from these high yielding assets including:
- Edgbaston - the potential to convert the existing 46,000 sqft office building to residential or hotel use;
- Leeds - advanced discussions are in progress with the Home Office to regear the lease over 36,000 sqft for a term
of four years; and
- Plymouth – the potential to regear the lease over 60,000 sqft with existing Government occupiers.
COOP portfolio, Switzerland
The sale of the COOP portfolio in Switzerland was exchanged for CHF 36.0m (£24.5m). Completion of the sale is
expected prior to 31 August 2015. Following completion of the sale, the Company will no longer have any exposure to
the Swiss market. These properties are classified as Assets Held for Sale at 28 February 2015.
Development projects
Our development activity is focused on opportunities within the portfolio to meet tenant demand, modernise assets to
meet occupier requirements and capture rental growth where demand is strong. A recovery in occupier markets
generally has led to increased development activity within the portfolio. Key capital projects include:
Primark, Ingolstadt
A conditional agreement for lease was signed with Primark in January 2015 for a new 5,200 sqm (56,000 sqft) store in
the City Arcaden Shopping Centre in Ingolstadt, Germany. The Primark lease will support a complete redevelopment
of the centre to accommodate the new store. Once completed, the scheme is expected to provide approximately
7,700 sqm of net retail space which includes an existing H&M store. A further 1,100 sqm of office space on the same
site is also planned for redevelopment, in addition to 15 residential units totalling approximately 1,300 sqm.
The shopping centre is in a prominent location on Ludwigstrasse, one of the prime retail streets in Ingolstadt, in the
State of Bavaria. The introduction of Primark is expected to significantly strengthen the retail offering within the town
and the surrounding areas, encouraging additional footfall.
Weston Favell, Northampton
Following the acquisition of Weston Favell in December 2013 a phased redevelopment plan has been initiated to
modernise the centre. Planning was secured in November 2014 for the rebranding of the centre and the
reconfiguration of the scheme entrance on the lower ground floor. The redevelopment will include a new entrance and
a reinstatement of the original atrium to bring natural light into the scheme. Works have commenced and are expected
to complete in September 2015. This first phase is expected to support the future redevelopment of other areas within
the scheme.
Birchwood, Warrington
Following the completion of the £6.5m redevelopment and car park extension, a further £5.0m extension is planned to
accommodate demand from discount retailers, a foodstore operator and A3 (restaurant) uses. Birchwood is a good
example of the strength and growth of discount retail in the UK.
The terms being discussed with potential new tenants represent materially higher rents than comparable units within
the existing centre. The successful development of these new units is expected to provide a yield on cost of
approximately 8.5% as well as providing strong rental evidence for the rest of the centre.
Travelodge, Enfield
Terms have been agreed with Travelodge to lease an additional 21 rooms at Enfield which will be developed within
the existing vacant space on the ground floor. The lease term will be co-terminus with the existing lease which
expires in June 2047. Planning approval has been received and works are expected to commence in June 2015 and
to complete in November 2015.

UK Retail
The market is showing encouraging signs of improvement evidenced by the majority of our centres being close to full
occupancy. The discount and convenience sectors are leading the way and are actively taking on new space. As a
number of new operators are not yet at their target portfolio size, we foresee further opportunities for lettings and
development within our portfolio.
Vacancy by area reduced to 4.2% (August 2014: 4.6%). 12 lettings and renewals were completed totalling £0.58m
p.a. across 44,800 sqft at an average of 5.6% below ERV; the number of transactions providing little evidence for the
portfolio as a whole. One open market rent review was completed totalling £0.93m reflecting a 13.1% increase over
passing rent. Of more consequence was the £0.76m gain in net income during the period reflecting a combination of
new rental income and the removal of landlord costs on vacant units.
Post period end, a number of successful lettings were completed adding rental income of £164,000 and increasing net
income by approximately £293,000 as a result of the associated reduction in landlord costs and shortfalls.
The portfolio was valued at £344.3m, a 1.8% increase over the six month period. Performance within the portfolio was
mixed, with successful asset management and leasing initiatives at Grand Arcade, Birchwood, St Georges and Byron
Place driving strong uplifts, whereas a lower net operating income and valuations at West Orchards and Crewe diluted
the overall valuation movement.
Consumer & Brand Engagement
The UK Retail portfolio has seen strong returns from a strategic focus on digital and social communication channels
during the period, with growth across key mediums including Facebook and Twitter. The portfolio has also
strengthened its ‘owned’ data with continued growth in shopping centre app downloads and consumer
databases. The results to date create strong foundations for the portfolio to embed the shopping centre brands, and
the retailer brands therein, into the lives of existing and potential shoppers, creating brand loyalty and driving
frequency of visit, dwell time and spend. The increased online and social media presence of the shopping centre
brands also establishes a digital currency for the portfolio which will be utilised going forward in order to drive brand
partnerships and third party opportunities.
Offline engagement has also been a focus for the portfolio via commercialisation efforts. Experiential and promotional
activities on the malls increased during the period with income from brand partnerships currently up 15% against
target. This type of activity assists in creating theatre in the shopping centres by entertaining and educating shoppers
whilst exposing them to new brands and services in addition to driving non-core income.

UK Commercial
Investment into regional offices remained strong with investors looking for higher yielding investments. The sharp
reduction in supply as a result of residential, student accommodation and hotel conversions together with limited
development activity has led to a reduction in availability in certain regional office markets, particularly for Grade A
space.
Leasing activity across the portfolio, although limited given the high occupancy, was positive reflecting improving
occupier demand and reduction in available space in many regional office markets. There were two lettings in the
period totalling £0.62m across 77,800 sqft reflecting rents 3.1% below ERV. Three rent reviews totalling £1.3m were
completed at an average of 14.0% above passing rent albeit that these were predominantly index-linked reviews.
Terms have been agreed to let 30,495 sqft at the Delta 900 office building in Swindon for a 15 year term at a rent of
£0.3m p.a. The refurbishment is anticipated to cost approximately £0.9m which will deliver a yield on cost of
approximately 14.0%.
Values were supported by positive letting activity and the continued strength of the investment market. The portfolio
was valued at £144.7m, representing a 4.5% increase over the six month period.

UK Hotels
PwC anticipate modest growth in occupancies which will take existing occupancies to record levels and which should
be sufficient to drive increases in average daily rates and RevPARs in London by 3.6% and 5.1% respectively. Supply
of new hotel rooms is expected to grow with over 7,200 new rooms expected in London in 2015. Growth in the sector
appears robust with the Rugby World Cup providing additional demand this year.
Underlying trading across the Company’s portfolio remains positive and ahead of budget albeit the month of February
being slower following a very good start to the financial year. Rents for the RedefineBDL managed portfolio, which
includes all of the Group’s hotels except the Enfield Travelodge, were agreed at £13.79m p.a. for this financial year
reflecting a 4.8% increase.
Terms have been agreed with Travelodge to lease an additional 21 rooms at Enfield which will be developed within
the existing vacant space on the ground floor. The lease term will be co-terminus with the existing lease which
expires in June 2047 and will add approximately £120,000 p.a. to the rent roll. The extension is expected to cost
approximately £1.0m reflecting a yield on cost of 11.3%.
The portfolio was valued at £221.2m reflecting a like-for-like increase of 1.0% for the six month period. The
DoubleTree Hilton in Edinburgh was acquired during the period with the value remaining broadly unchanged.
RedefineBDL
RedefineBDL delivered £0.28m (the Company’s share) to distributable earnings. In January RedefineBDL took over
the management of 22 Holiday Inn hotels from LRG. Redefine BDL now manages 69 hotels including eight of
Redefine International’s nine hotels.

Europe
Investment activity remains strong across all key sectors and in particular for investments with the ability to add value.
Despite general concerns for the Euro area, Germany maintains a unique and stable economic position. Retail
continues to attract the majority of investment capital supported by an optimistic outlook for German retailers and an
exceptionally low interest rate environment.
Leasing activity was relatively limited given the low vacancy levels across the portfolio. 14 lettings and renewals were
completed totalling €0.55m p.a. across 1,270 sqm at an average 28.2% ahead of ERV. 32 rent reviews were
completed totalling €0.89m, an uplift of 2.0% to passing rent albeit these were predominantly index-linked reviews.
A number of short term leases at the Bahnhof Centre in Altona, Hamburg totalling 654 sqm (7,040 sqft) have been
extended post period end. The lease extensions totalling €452,005 p.a. have been agreed at 5.9% above ERV,
typically on five year terms.
Like-for-like values were marginally up in local currency terms, but suffered from an 8.5% decline in the Euro:Sterling
FX rate resulting in a 7.4% like-for like decline (excluding acquisitions) in Sterling terms. This was partially offset by
borrowings in local currency. Further details are contained in the financial review.

Cromwell
The market value of the Company’s shareholding in Cromwell increased by 4.1% to £101.8m (August 2014: £97.8m)
during the period. Cromwell’s security price as at 28 February 2015 had increased by 15.9% to AUD1.165 (August
2014: AUD1.005) which was offset by a 10.2% decline in the Australian dollar against Sterling. The Company’s
shareholding diluted marginally to 9.95% from 9.99% at 31 August 2014 due to the issue of additional Cromwell
securities relating to their dividend reinvestment plan. Our shareholding in Cromwell continues to provide attractive
and growing income returns, however opportunities to recycle this liquid investment continue to be reviewed subject to
alternative investment opportunities.
Distributions net of withholding tax of AUD 5.7m (£3.7m) were received during the period. Distributions for periods
related to the last two quarters of the 2015 financial year have been hedged at rates of GBP1:AUD1.81 and
GBP1:AUD1.82 respectively.
Underlying performance
Cromwell continues to provide consistent and growing income returns from a high quality property portfolio.
Distributions for Cromwell’s 2015 financial year to June 2015 are forecast to increase by 3.0% to 7.86 cents per
security.
Highlights for Cromwell’s half year results to December 2014 were:
- Operating Profit of AUD72.9 million (HY14: AUD73.2 million)
- Statutory Profit of AUD87.2 million (HY14: AUD86.7 million)
- Increase in external AUM to more than AUD1.5 billion (excluding acquisition of Valad Europe)
- Conservative asset and capital management strategy maintained to reflect growing economic and valuation risks
- Gearing reduced to 36% following sale of 321 Exhibition Street for AUD207 million, AUD1.07 million above
carrying value
- FY2015 operating earnings forecast unchanged at 8.3 cps
- Forecasting 3% increase in distributions in FY2015
Cromwell acquired Valad Europe, Blackstone’s European property management arm for €145.0m in April 2015. Valad
manages €5.3bn of assets across Europe including Central and Eastern Europe, Germany and the UK. The
acquisition provides Cromwell with a European funds management platform with critical mass. Cromwell’s external
assets under management will increase to approximately AUD 9.0bn with funds management earnings expected to
contribute approximately 14% to Cromwell’s FY2015 earnings. The acquisition is expected to be 5% accretive to
Cromwell’s earnings in FY2016.

Financial Review
Overview
Earnings available for distribution for the period increased 19.6% on the same period last year to £21.4m or 1.63p per
share. EPRA earnings per share increased by 61.8% to 1.65p per share (28 February 2014: 1.02p). Adjusted NAV per
share increased by 1.9% to 41.31p (31 August 2014: 40.54p) and pro-forma Adjusted NAV, taking into account the
capital raise post period end, increased 4.6% to 42.40p .
In order to enhance the comparability and transparency of the financial information provided by the Company,
Redefine International has adopted the EPRA earnings and net asset value measures in its reporting. The EPRA
measures, along with the relevant adjustments to these measures, are key performance indicators for the Group, as
they reflect the recurring underlying earnings and highlight the fair value of net assets on an ongoing, long-term basis.
The Company’s policy is to distribute the majority of its earnings available for distribution in the form of dividends to
shareholders. Earnings available for distribution reflect EPRA earnings adjusted for capital items and certain non-cash
IFRS items. Earnings available for distribution are also adjusted to reflect only the Group’s share of the net income
from the Delta portfolio.
Income statement
The Group’s profit attributable to equity holders for the interim period was £35.2m, an £11.2m increase after adjusting
the prior period for the one-off effect of the management internalisation. Basic EPS, were 2.70p compared to 2.18p at
28 February 2014 after adjusting for the effect of the management internalisation in the prior period. EPRA earnings
increased by 83.1% to £21.6m, compared to £11.8m as reported for the comparable 2014 period.
Gross rental income was up £4.5m largely due to the acquisition of Weston Favell and the restructuring of the Aviva
shopping centre portfolio in the prior period, which resulted in Grand Arcade, Wigan and West Orchards, Coventry
becoming 100% owned by the Company. This was offset by the disposal of the 10 Delta assets in October 2014. The
higher rental income was partly offset by the associated higher interest costs.
Investment income decreased by 27.6% to £3.7m following the disposal of 54.2m Cromwell securities on 29 August
2014.
Administrative and other operating expenses (including investment adviser fees of £1.4m) decreased by 17.1%
following the management internalisation, from £4.1m in the comparative period to £3.4m. Professional fees also
reduced substantially due to the £1.7m of costs relating to the REIT conversion and management internalisation and
£1.9m of disposal costs incurred in the period ended 28 February 2014.
The EPRA cost ratio, presented for the first time in this period due to the management internalisation, amounts to
19.1% including direct vacancy costs and 16.5% excluding direct vacancy costs.
Net finance costs reduced largely due to the disposal of the Gamma and Delta portfolios, the related release of debt
obligations and a reduction in the average cost of borrowing.
Analysis of the performance of the business is largely on a segmental or portfolio basis, however, following the
Company’s recent 50% investment in a German supermarket portfolio and the increased prominence of joint venture
investments, the business has also been analysed on a proportionately consolidated basis, as presented below.
Statutory results reflect the share of joint ventures using the equity accounting method.

Note: A full reconciliation between IFRS reported profit and earnings available for distribution is provided in Note 18 to the financial statements. The
1.55p per share, as reported in the prior period, includes the 115.1m shares placed in February 2014.
Dividends
The Company declared a dividend for the interim period of 1.60p per share (28 February 2014: 1.50p per share), an
increase of 6.7%. The 1.60p per share distribution for the interim period reflects an annualised yield of 7.7% on the
Adjusted NAV per share at 28 February 2015.
The Company proposes offering shareholders the option of receiving a cash dividend or a scrip dividend by way of an
issue of new Redefine International shares. An announcement containing details of the tax components of the
dividend, the timetable and the scrip dividend will be announced separately today (29 April 2015). The record date for
the dividend on the JSE and the LSE is 22 May 2015 and the dividend payment date is 5 June 2015.
Cash savings of £11.7m were achieved following a 57.8% take up of scrip relating to the 1.70p dividend paid per
share for the period ended 31 August 2014.
Balance sheet
EPRA NAV per share has increased by 2.2% to 38.47p (31 August 2014: 37.66p) largely as a result of the property
valuation uplift of £8.6m (0.65p per share) and a net Cromwell fair value uplift of £4.0m (0.30p per share), offset by a
£6.3m (0.48p per share) foreign exchange translation movement.
The EPRA NAV includes items which, in the opinion of the Board, should be adjusted for in order to better reflect the
underlying value of the Group. A reconciliation of EPRA NAV to Adjusted NAV per share has therefore been
presented below:

Notes:
1. The EPRA publishes best practice recommendations for Europe’s Stock Exchange listed real estate sector. In order to enhance comparability
and transparency the Company has adopted the EPRA net asset value measure within its reporting. The EPRA net asset value (“NAV”)
presented removes the cumulative fair value movements of interest rate derivatives and deferred tax.
2. Following the successful completion of the Delta restructuring announced on 15 October 2012, the negative net asset value position of 1.77p
per share is expected to reverse at the end of the loan term.
3. A liability of £5.2m (0.39p per share) is currently held relating to the facility provided to the Grand Arcade, Wigan. As part of the Aviva
restructure completed in December 2013, Aviva retained the right to participate in 50% of the income and capital growth generated by Grand
Arcade. This right was recognised at fair value, although is not deemed to have an immediate impact on NAV and has therefore been adjusted
for. In addition, as a result of the non-recourse nature of the debt relating to the Justice Centre in the Hague, Netherlands, the negative net
asset value position of 0.68p per share has been written back.
Pro-forma net asset value
As a result of the share placement at a 30.3% premium to the Adjusted NAV post the period end, the “Pro-forma NAV”
per share is 42.40p per share. The Euro declined 8.5% relative to Sterling during the period which had a net impact of
0.47p on net asset value per share.
Portfolio valuation
Valuations increased in all business segments in local currency however overall valuation movements in Sterling were
impacted by a decline of 8.5% and 10.2% in the Euro and Australian Dollar relative to Sterling, respectively.
The UK portfolio increased 2.1% on a like-for-like basis, led by the UK Commercial portfolio which was up 4.5%,
largely as a result of increased investment activity and continued inward yield shift. UK Retail produced strong
valuation uplifts in the majority of the centres.
The European portfolio increased 0.4% in local currency on a like-for-like basis. The Company’s two largest German
assets, the Schloss Strassen Centre and Bahnhof Altona, increased 1.2% and 2.8% respectively in local currency
following positive letting activity at both centres.
The value of acquisitions increased marginally over the purchase price in local currency. The 0.9% decline in Sterling
terms reflects the decline in the Euro since the acquisition date of the German retail portfolio.
The market value of the Group’s Cromwell holding increased by 4.1% in Sterling terms reflecting a 15.9% increase in
the market value in Australian Dollars and a 10.5% decline in the Australian dollar against Sterling.

February 2015.
2. Valuation movement includes foreign exchange movements. The Australian Dollar declined 10.2% relative to Sterling during the six month
period to 28 February 2015.
3. Values and movement reflects the Group’s share of joint ventures.
Capital management
Further progress has been made in strengthening the balance sheet with the pro-forma LTV ratio reduced to 45.1%
(31 August 2014: 48.1%).
The Group’s pro-forma weighted average debt maturity stands at 9.42 years (31 August 2014: 9.34 years). The Group
disposed of 10 Delta assets on 6 October 2014, which resulted in a reduction in the Delta debt from £73.1m to
£38.4m. The pro-forma ratios shown below exclude the assets and debt in the remaining Delta portfolio and Hague
asset and include £70.0m of cash raised post period end.

The Group utilises derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to manage its interest-
rate exposure. At 28 February 2015, the net fair value liability of the Group’s derivative financial instruments was
£3.7m (31 August 2014: £2.9m).
The Group has a hedging policy which requires at least 75% of all interest rate exposures exceeding one year to be
on a fixed or capped rate basis. At 28 February 2015, Group debt (including its economic interest in subsidiaries and
joint ventures) was 95.1% fixed or capped. For facilities with interest rate swaps or caps attached, the interest rates
are fixed or capped for the duration of the facility. The changes in the fair value of the Group’s hedging instruments
have been recognised in profit or loss.

The directors are responsible for preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with applicable
law and regulations. In addition, the directors have elected to prepare the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in
accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the IASB.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are required to state the affairs of the Group and the profit or loss of the

In preparing condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the directors are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether they have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial
Reporting, as issued by the IASB; and
- prepare the condensed consolidated interim financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to
presume that the Group will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the
financial position of the Group and to allow for the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. They have
general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent
and detect fraud and other irregularities.
The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the
Company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from one jurisdiction
to another.
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:
- the condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as
approved by the EU; and
- the interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by:
a) DTR 4.2.7R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being an indication of important events that have occurred
during the first six months of the financial year and their impact on the condensed consolidated set of financial
statements; and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year; and
b) DTR 4.2.8R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being related party transactions that have taken place in the first

Independent Review Report to Redefine International P.L.C.
Introduction
We reviewed the condensed consolidated financial statements in the half-yearly financial report of Redefine International P.L.C. for
the six months ended 28 February 2015 which comprise the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated balance sheet, the condensed consolidated
statement of changes in equity, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, and the condensed related explanatory notes.
We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent
misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed consolidated set of financial statements.
This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with our engagement letter to assist the Company in meeting the
requirements of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules (“the DTR”) of the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (“the UK FCA”). Our
review has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for
no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the
Company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.
Directors’ Responsibilities
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the Directors. The Directors are responsible for
preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the DTR of the UK FCA.
As disclosed in Note 2, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
The Directors are responsible for ensuring the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this half yearly report have
been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the IASB.
Our Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed consolidated set of financial statements in the half-
yearly financial report based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standards on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review
of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Financial Reporting Council. A
review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International standards on Auditing (UK and
Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might
be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated set of financial
statements in the half-yearly report for the six months ended 28 February 2015 is not prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the IASB and the DTR of the UK FCA.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 28 February 2015
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Redefine International P.L.C was incorporated on 28 June 2004 under the laws of the Isle of Man.
The Company now holds a primary listing on the Main Market of the LSE and a secondary listing on the Main
Board of the JSE.
On 4 December 2013 the Company converted to a UK REIT. On 27 February 2015, following approval at the
Company’s AGM held on 27 January 2015, the Company transferred its premium listing under Chapter 15
(Investment Company), to a premium listing under Chapter 6 (Commercial Company), of the FCA’s listing rules
and the London Stock Exchange’s Main Market for listed securities.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements (hereafter ‘interim financial statements’) for the half-
year ended 28 February 2015, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to understanding
the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the last annual consolidated financial
statements as at and for the year ended 31 August 2014.
The financial information contained in these interim financial statements does not constitute a complete set of
financial statements (including all comparative figures and all required notes) and does not include all of the
information required for full annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards. The interim financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 August 2014 which are available at the Group’s
website www.redefineinternational.com
The accounting policies applied by the Group in the interim financial statements are the same as those applied
by the Group in its audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 August 2014,
except for the new standards adopted during the period.
New standards adopted during the period
The following are the relevant standards, amendments and interpretations that have been adopted during the half
year to 28 February 2015:
Annual improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle and Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle (effective
for annual periods commencing on or after 1 July 2014).
IFRS 2 Share-based Payment (amendment to definition of vesting condition): This amendment changed the
definitions of ‘vesting conditions’ and ‘market condition’ in the standard and added definitions of ‘performance
condition’ and ‘service condition’. The adoption of this amendment had no impact on the Group’s results.
IFRS 3 Business Combinations (accounting for contingent consideration): This amendment requires an acquirer
to classify an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument as a
financial liability or as equity in line with the definitions in IAS 32. Contingent Consideration is then measured at
fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. The adoption of this
amendment had no significant impact on the Group.
IFRS 8 Operating Segments (aggregation of operating segments and reconciliation of total of reportable
segments’ assets to the entity’s assets): This amendment requires additional disclosure of the judgements made
by management in aggregating the operational segments and economic indicators on which the judgement was
based. It also clarifies the need to reconcile assets by segment to the entities total assets. The adoption of this
amendment had no significant impact on the Group.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (clarification of measurement of short term receivables and payables): This
amendment allows for the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate at
invoice amounts without discounting, when the effect of not discounting is immaterial. The adoption of this
amendment had no impact on the Group’s results.
IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (key management personnel services): This amendment expands the definition
of a related party of the reporting entity to include one where the entity, or any member of a group of which it is a
part, provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity.
The adoption of this amendment had no significant impact on the Group.
There were also changes to IAS 16 and IAS 38 regarding application of the revaluation model which are not
relevant to the Group.
IAS 40 Investment Property (clarifying interrelationship with IFRS 3 when classifying property as investment
property or owner-occupied property): This amendment clarifies that regard is had to IFRS 3 in determining if the
acquisition of property represents the acquisition of a business. The adoption of this amendment had no impact
on the Group.
Amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
and IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements – Investment Entities
These amendments define an investment entity and introduce an exception to consolidating particular
subsidiaries for investment entities. The adoption of this amendment had no impact on the Group.
2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The interim financial statements are presented in Great British Pounds, which is the functional currency of the
Company and the presentational currency of the Group, rounded to the nearest thousand pounds. They are
prepared using the historical cost basis except for investment property, certain assets held for sale, derivative
financial instruments and financial instruments designated at fair value through profit and loss.
2.3 KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of judgements and
estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the period. Although these estimates are based on the Directors’ best
knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results may differ from those estimates.
The principal areas where such judgements and estimates have been made are the same as those applied to the
consolidated financial statements in the year ended 31 August 2014 and are:
2.3.1 INVESTMENT PROPERTY VALUATION
The Group uses the valuations performed by its independent valuers in accordance with IFRS 13 as the fair
value of its investment properties. The valuations are based upon assumptions including estimated rental values,
future rental income, anticipated maintenance costs, future development costs and appropriate discount rates.
The valuers also make reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties. Further details
are provided in Note 7.
2.3.2 FAIR VALUE OF RESTRUCTURED OR ACQUIRED LIABILITIES
New borrowings or borrowings which have been substantially modified are recognised at fair value. The
determination of fair value involves the application of judgement.
The Group determines fair value by discounting cash flows associated with the liability at a market discount rate.
The key judgement surrounds the determination of an appropriate market discount rate. Management determine
the discount rate on a loan by loan basis having regard to the term, duration and security arrangements of the
new liability and an estimation of the current rates charged in the market for similar instruments issued to
companies of similar sizes.
This judgment is made more difficult given the bespoke nature of certain loans obtained by the Group. Any
difference between the nominal value of the loan and the deemed fair value will be accreted through profit or loss
over the term of the loan through the effective interest rate.
2.3.3 CLASSIFICATION OF INVESTMENT PROPERTY FOR HOTELS
The hotel properties are held for capital appreciation and to earn rental income. The hotel properties included
within the Redefine Hotel Holdings portfolio have been let to Redefine Hotel Management Limited (“RHML”) and
Redefine Earls Court Management Limited (“RECML”) for a fixed rent which is subject to annual review. The
annual review takes into account the forecast EBITDA for the hotel portfolio when setting the revised rental level.
RHML and RECML operate the hotel business and are exposed to the fluctuations in the underlying trading
performance of the hotels. They are responsible for the day to day upkeep of the properties and retain the key
decision making responsibility for the business.
Redefine International holds a 25.3% shareholding in Redefine BDL Hotel Group Ltd (“RedefineBDL”), which in
turn owns RHML and RECML. Having considered the guidance in IFRS 10, the respective rights of each of the
shareholders in RedefineBDL and the size of the Company’s shareholding compared with other shareholders,
management have determined that Redefine International does not control RedefineBDL and hence does not
control RHML or RECML.
Aside from the payment of rental income to Redefine International which resets annually and the Group’s
shareholding in RedefineBDL, Redefine International is not involved with the hotel management business and
there are limited transactions between the two entities. As a result, Redefine International classifies the hotel
properties as investment properties in line with IAS 40.
2.3.4 CLASSIFICATION OF THE GROUP’S INVESTMENT IN CROMWELL AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS
The Group ceased to account for Cromwell as an associate in April 2013 from the date its shareholding fell below
20%. While the Company does not have a right to appoint a director it does currently have representation on
Cromwell’s Board of Directors. Having considered all the facts and circumstances the Directors believe that
significant influence over Cromwell does not exist and that the designation of the Company’s residual investment
at fair value through profit or loss is appropriate.
2.3.5 PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
Where properties are acquired through the acquisition of corporate interests, the Directors have regard to the
substance of the assets and activities of the acquired entity in determining whether the acquisition represents the
acquisition of a business.
Where such acquisitions are not judged to be an acquisition of a business the transactions are accounted for as if
the Group had acquired the underlying property directly. Accordingly, no goodwill arises, rather the cost of the
corporate entity is allocated between the identifiable assets and liabilities of the entity based on their relative fair
values at the acquisition date.
Otherwise corporate acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations.
3. SEGMENTAL REPORTING
The Group's identified reportable segments are set out below. These segments are generally managed by
separate management teams. As required by IFRS 8 Operating Segments, the information provided to the Board,
which is the Chief Operating Decision Maker, can be classified into the following segments:
UK Commercial: the Group’s portfolio of offices, motor trade and roadside service stations;
UK Retail: the Group’s portfolio of seven wholly-owned shopping centres;
UK Hotels: the Group’s hotel properties comprising eight hotels in Greater London and South East,
England and one hotel in Edinburgh, Scotland;
RedefineBDL: the Group’s 25.3% shareholding in RedefineBDL. RedefineBDL leases and manages all of
the Group’s hotel properties except for the Enfield Travelodge;
Europe: the Group’s properties in Continental Europe, located primarily in Germany but also in
Switzerland and the Netherlands. The portfolio comprises shopping centres, discount
supermarkets and government-let offices; and

provide further details in this regard.
7. INVESTMENT PROPERTY
The cost of the consolidated investment properties at 28 February 2015 was £1.04 billion (28 February 2014:
£0.99 billion, 31 August 2014: £1.03 billion). The carrying amount of investment property is the fair value of the
property as determined by a registered independent appraiser having an appropriate recognised professional
qualification and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued (together referred to
as “valuers”).
The fair value of each of the properties for the year ended 31 August 2014 was assessed by the valuers in
accordance with the RICS standards and IFRS 13. For the six months ended 28 February 2015, the independent
valuers performed a desktop review to update the 31 August 2014 valuations to reflect movements in the market.
The valuations performed by the independent valuers are reviewed internally by senior management and by the
Audit and Risk Committee. This includes discussion of the assumptions used by the external valuers, as well as a
review of the resulting valuations.
The fair value of the property portfolio has been determined using a yield capitalisation technique, whereby
contracted and market rental values are capitalised at a market capitalisation rate. The resulting valuations are
cross-checked against the net initial yield and the fair market values per square foot derived from comparable
recent market transactions.
The valuation technique described above is consistent with IFRS 13 and uses significant “unobservable” inputs.
There have been no changes in valuation techniques since the prior year.
The Group considers that all of its investment properties and assets held for sale fall within ‘Level 3’, as defined
by IFRS 13. Accordingly, there has been no transfer of properties within the fair value hierarchy over the period.

the economic shareholding the contractual terms provide for joint control and so the Company is not
deemed to control the entity;
(v) 49% interest in VBG Holdings S.a.r.l., a joint venture with Menora Mivtachim, which ultimately owns
government-let properties in Dresden, Berlin, Stuttgart and Cologne, Germany. Following an assessment
of the rights of each shareholder under the shareholder agreement this entity is deemed to be a joint

(vi) 50% interest in Leopard Germany Holding 1 S.a.r.l and Leopard German Property ED1, 2, 3 and 4 and
ME1 and ME2 S.a.r.l. and ED2 GmbH & Co KG, a joint venture with Redefine Properties Ltd, the
Company’s largest shareholder. These companies hold 56 retail properties in Germany comprising a mix
of stand-alone supermarkets, food-store anchored retail parks and cash and carry stores;
(vii) 50% in Ciref Crawley Limited, a joint venture with Graymont Limited. The joint venture properties in
Crawley, Surrey were sold on 20 November 2014.
Acquisition of joint ventures
On 29 January 2015 the Group in joint venture with Redefine Properties Ltd, the Company’s largest shareholder
acquired an interest in Leopard Germany Holding 1 S.a.r.l and Leopard German Property ED1, 2, 3 and 4 and
ME1 and ME2 S.a.r.l. and ED2 GmbH & Co KG. These companies hold 56 retail properties in Germany.
Consideration for the acquisition was €57.4million (£43.1million) which was funded equally by the Company and
Redefine Properties Ltd. As at 28 February 2015 deferred consideration for this acquisition of £6.38million is
included in trade and other payables.
The Company’s investment in these joint ventures is the form of:
1) An interest in the share capital of the joint venture companies; and
2) Loans advanced to the joint venture entities. These loans bear interest at between 6% and 7% and have
remaining maturities of between 5 and 6 years. The loans bear significant risk given the nominal share
capital in the entities and have as a result been included in the Interests in Joint Ventures note.
Disposal of joint ventures
On 19 December 2014, the Company acquired an additional 44.9% shareholding in Ciref Premium Holdings
Limited (previously named Ciref Nepi Holdings Limited) from its joint venture partner, New Europe Property (BVI)
Limited for a consideration of €3.63million (£2.84million). Ciref Premium Holdings Limited owns six properties in
Germany (the “Premium Portfolio). This acquisition brings the Group’s interest in Ciref Premium Holdings Limited
to 94.9%. See Note 20 for further details of the acquisition.
The Group recognised a gain on the disposal of this joint venture of £425k being the difference between the
carrying value of the joint venture on the date of the disposal and the fair value of Group’s share of net assets.
£157k being the related foreign currency translation reserve was also recycled to the income statement on sale of
the Group’s interest in the joint venture resulting in a gain of £582k.
The investment in joint ventures includes investments at nil value in the balance carried forward on 1 September
2014. Trade and other receivables at 28 February 2015 also includes a distribution receivable from Wichford
VBG Holding S.a.r.l of £2.73million.

On 26 October 2014 the Company exchanged contracts to dispose of its two properties located in Switzerland
with the properties expected to be sold within the next 12 months. They have as a result been classified as
assets held for sale.
The Company restructured the £114.6 million Delta facility in October 2012 requiring it to meet certain disposal
targets. In line with this agreement, the Company disposed of ten regional office assets within the Delta portfolio
for an aggregate consideration of £35.08 million on 7 October 2014. The proceeds of these sales were utilised to
reduce the Delta facility loan balance. The Group had undertaken to sell the remaining Delta properties (three
assets) prior to the end of April 2015. As a result these three properties continued to be included in assets held
for sale at 28 February 2015. Post period end the Company acquired the remaining three properties from the
security pool with the related proceeds applied to the repayment of debt..
The Company also undertook to dispose of Delamere Place, Crewe during the period and therefore it was
reclassified to the held for sale classification. The Company exchanged contracts with Chesire East Council to
sell the property for a net amount of £5.5million on 21 April 2015.

1 The Delta facility will reduce in line with the Group’s disposal targets in respect of the remaining Delta portfolio assets. The
remaining 3 assets were due to be sold before the end of April 2015. As detailed in Note 25, the Group acquired these assets from
the security pool post period end with the purchase price applied to the repayment of the original debt.
2 These facilities were subject to a fundamental debt restructure in December 2013 and are cross collateralised against each other.
3 Fixed rates.
4 The RHH portfolio was refinanced on 4 August 2014 with Aareal Bank, with the term extended from November 2015 to November
2021. At that point an additional £16 million was drawn down under the facility to fund the acquisition of the Southwark hotel
extension. The interest rate was amended under the terms of the revised agreement from Libor plus a margin of 2.15% to Libor plus
a margin of 2.275%. This was not deemed to be a substantial modification in the terms of the original debt. Subsequently the Group
drew down an additional £14.9 million under the facility to finance the acquisition of the Doubletree Hilton, Edinburgh on 19
December 2014.
5 These facilities were repaid by the Group on 15 October 2014.
6 The Newington House facility was refinanced on 18 December 2014. The new loan has a maturity date of 19 December 2019.
7 The Premium facilities were acquired as part of the purchase of the additional 44.9% shareholding in Ciref Premium Holdings
Limited (previously Ciref Nepi Holdings Limited). These facilities were refinanced with Munchener Hypothekenbank EG on 27
February 2015. The Company contributed an additional €6.0 million of equity as part of the refinancing, being the difference
between the old facility of €25 million and the new €19 million Munchener facility. The new facility has an all-in rate of 1.305%.
8 The Gamma debt was legally extinguished during the year ended 31 August 2014.

The Group enters into interest rate swaps and interest rate cap agreements. The purpose is to manage the
interest rate risks arising from the Group’s operations and its sources of finance.
Interest rate swaps are employed by the Group to convert the Group’s borrowings from floating to fixed interest
rates and are detailed in a) below.
Interest rate caps as detailed in b) below are employed by the Group to limit the exposure to upward movements
in interest rates.
It is the Group’s policy that no economic trading in derivatives is undertaken.

16. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
The Group’s share-based payments are all equity-settled and comprise the Long-Term Performance Share Plan
(“PSP”) for Executive Directors and the Restricted Stock Plan for employees. In accordance with IFRS 2 ‘Share-
based payments’ the fair value of equity-settled share-based payments to employees is determined at grant date,
and is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, with a corresponding credit to the share-based
payments reserve. The Company utilises the Monte-Carlo simulation valuation model to determine the fair value
at grant date.

The PSP for Executive Directors authorises the Remuneration Committee to make grants of PSP shares with a
face value of up to 100% of salary to participants. Awards of PSP shares are subject to performance measures
over three years. Half of the award will vest dependent on the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”)
equalling, or exceeding, the TSR relative to that of each of the members of the FTSE EPRA / REIT Developed
Europe Index (“the Index”) and the other half of an award will be subject to a performance target which measures
the Company’s TSR relative to that of the members of a bespoke comparator group. Vesting is on a sliding scale
between 25% for median performance and 100% for upper quartile performance, with 0% vesting below a
median performance.
For the market-based TSR awards, the effect of the performance conditions is incorporated into the grant date
fair value of the award. The fair value calculation assumes that PSP shares will be awarded at 73% of the face
value at grant date for the portion of the award subject to relative TSR performance against members of the
Index and 65% of the face value at grant for the portion of the award subject to relative TSR performance against
members of the comparator group and. No subsequent adjustment to the charge can be made to reflect the
outcome of the performance test. Adjustments can, however, be made for participants who leave the scheme
before vesting.
The shares outstanding under the scheme are to be issued for nominal consideration provided performance
conditions are met.
3,399,583 shares were granted in respect of the PSP on 3 February 2015 to the executive Directors.
To calculate the fair value of share-based long term incentives, it was necessary to make a number of
assumptions. For the purpose of the valuation performed, use was made of the Company’s LSE listing in
developing share price volatility, dividend yield and index correlation assumptions. The table below set out the
assumptions made:
Elements Assumptions Assumptions
2014 Grant 2013 Grant
Volatility 22.6% 24.4%
Risk-free rate 0.76% 0.89%
Correlation of the comparator group companies 23.2% 27.6%

20. ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARIES
On 19 December 2014, the Company acquired an additional 44.9% shareholding in Ciref Premium Holdings
Limited (previously named Ciref Nepi Holdings Limited) from its joint venture partner, New Europe Property (BVI)
Limited for a consideration of €3.63million (£2.84million). Ciref Premium Holdings Limited owns six properties in
Germany (the “Premium Portfolio”). This acquisition brings the Group’s interest in Ciref Premium Holdings
Limited to 94.9% and it is accounted for as a subsidiary undertaking from the acquisition date i.e. the date control
was obtained.
The 2014 acquisitions relate to the purchase of the companies holding Grand Arcade, Wigan and West Orchards,
Coventry.
The assets and liabilities arising from the acquisition and the net cash position have been summarised in the
table below:

Ciref Premium Holdings Limited acquisition
The fair value of the investment property was determined by the Directors having regard to the 31 August 2014
independent valuation and movements in the market up to the date of acquisition.
The fair value of loans and borrowings was determined by reference to market interest rates available for similar
debt instruments.
The fair value of trade receivables and trade payables was determined based on the terms of the underlying
transactions and was for the most part deemed to approximate their carrying value.
The gain on bargain purchase needs to be considered in light of the impairment of loans to Ciref Premium
Holdings Limited of £742k included in the impairment of loans to joint ventures disclosed in Note 9 of the financial
statements. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 September 2014, management estimates that consolidated
revenue for the Group would have been £79.4 million and consolidated profit for the year would have been
£103.6 million. In determining these amounts, management has assumed that the fair value adjustments that
arose on the date of acquisition would have been the same if the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the
period.
21. INTEREST RATE RISK
The Group's exposure to the risk of the changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's long-term
debt obligations with floating interest rates. The Group uses interest rate derivatives to mitigate its exposure to
interest rate fluctuations. At the period end, as a result of the use of interest rate swaps and caps, the majority of
the Group's borrowings were at fixed interest rates.
The Group’s EPRA earnings have limited exposure to interest rate fluctuations until the repayment dates for the
loans for which the interest rate swaps and caps have been arranged. Please see Note 15 for further details on
the Group's interest rate swap and cap agreements.
22. LIQUIDITY RISK
The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring
unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The monitoring of liquidity risk is assisted by the monthly review of financial covenants imposed by financial
institutions, such as interest and loan to value covenant ratios. Renegotiation of loans takes place in advance of
any potential covenant breaches in so far as the factors are within the control of the Board. In periods of
increased market uncertainty the Board strives to ensure sufficient cash resources are available for potential loan
repayments/cash deposits as may be required by financial institutions.
23. FAIR VALUES
Basis for determining fair values
The Group measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs
used in making the measurements.
Level 1: Quoted market price (unadjusted) in an active market for an identical instrument.
Level 2: Valuation techniques based on observable inputs, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived
from prices). This category includes instruments valued using: quoted market prices in active markets for similar
instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered less than active; or
other valuation techniques where all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data.
Level 3: Valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs. This category includes all instruments where
the valuation technique includes inputs not based on observable data and the unobservable inputs have a
significant effect on the instrument’s valuation. This category includes instruments that are valued based on
quoted prices for similar instruments where significant unobservable adjustments or assumptions are required to
reflect differences between the instruments.
Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities that are traded in active markets are based on quoted
market prices or dealer price quotations. For all other financial instruments the Company determines fair values
using net present value and discounted cash flow models and comparisons to similar instruments for which
market observable prices exist. Assumptions and inputs used in valuation techniques include risk-free and
benchmark interest rates, credit spreads and other premia used in estimating discount rates, foreign currency
exchange rates and expected price volatilities and correlations. The objective of valuation techniques is to arrive
at a fair value determination that reflects the price of the financial instrument at the reporting date that would have
been determined by market participants acting at arm’s length.
The Group uses widely recognised valuation models for determining the fair value of common and more simple
financial instruments such as interest rate swaps that use only observable market data and require little
management judgement and estimation. Observable prices and model inputs are usually available in the market
for simple over the counter derivatives, e.g. interest rate swaps. Availability of observable market prices and
model inputs reduces the need for management judgement and estimation and also reduces the uncertainty
associated with determination of fair values. Availability of observable market prices and inputs varies depending
on the products and markets and is prone to changes based on specific events and general conditions in the
financial markets.
The tables below present information about the Group’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value at
28 February 2015 and at comparative periods.

No financial instruments were transferred between levels during the period.
The investment in Cromwell is categorised as a Level 1 investment as it has been priced using quoted prices in
an active market.
Interest rate swaps and caps have been categorised as Level 2 as although they are priced using directly
observable inputs, the instruments are not traded in an active market.
24. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS
The Group has capital commitments of £22.4 million (28 February 2014: £9.3 million, 31 August 2014: £8.5
million) in respect of capital expenditure contracted for at the reporting date, but not yet incurred, for future
transactions approved by the Board.
25. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Board resolved to declare an interim dividend of 1.60 pence per share. The record date for the interim
dividend is 22 May 2015. The dividend will be paid to shareholders on 5 June 2015.
The Company proposes to offer shareholders the option to receive ordinary shares in lieu of the cash dividend
under a Scrip Dividend Scheme. An announcement will follow in due course.
The Company issued 131,414,138 new ordinary shares on 6 March 2015 as a result of the share placement
announced to the market on 27 February 2015 raising gross proceeds of £70.96 million. Following admission,
the total number of issued ordinary shares amounted to 1,451,322,973.
The Company exchanged contracts to acquire the remaining three office assets in the Delta portfolio from the
current security pool for approximately £15.7 million post period end. The net proceeds will be utilised to repay
the existing Delta facility.
The Company exchanged contracts to dispose of Delamere Place, Crewe for a net amount of approximately £5.5
million (following restrictive covenant payments) on 21 April 2015.
