The financial results for the quarter ended 31 May 2003 reflect a material reduction in income from certain listed securities, primarily Arnold Property Fund Limited ("A-Prop") and Rand Leases Properties Limited ("Rand Leases"). In addition net income from property portfolios (the "property portfolios") recently acquired have not met expectations. Management has taken the following steps to address the abovementioned issues: - supported the appointment of Coronation Property Investments Limited as new managers of A-Prop; and - embarked on a concerted letting campaign in relation to vacant space within the property portfolios. The following material adjustments to the projections for the remainder of the current year and thereafter have been made: - reduction in the anticipated distributions from A-Prop and Rand Leases ; and - revision of the projected net income from the property portfolios. The interest distribution to Redefine linked unitholders for the quarter ended 31 May 2003 has been reduced to 6,25 cents per linked unit. The distribution for the quarter ending 31 August 2003 is projected to be not less than 6,25 cents per linked unit resulting in a projected annual distribution for the 2003 year of no less than 29,5 cents (2002: 37 cents) per linked unit. Distributions for the year ending 31 August 2004 are projected to be no less than 31 cents per linked unit. The projections for the last quarter of 2003 and for the year ending 31 August 2004 have been examined by Fisher Hoffman PKF (Jhb) Inc, whose report is available at the company"s registered office.
