Their unqualified report is available for inspection at the company"s registered office. Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and accounting policies consistent with those applied in the annual financial statements of the previous year except for recognition of rental income. In line with the latest interpretation of AC 105 - Leases, property revenue reflects income recognised on a straight-line basis. Provision has been made against the resultant asset as the value of the asset is effectively included in the fair value of the property portfolio. The change in accounting policy does not have a material effect on the financial statements. COMMENTS Financial results Redefine made interest distributions totalling 26.5 cents per linked unit for the three quarters ended 31 May 2005. The Board has approved an interest distribution of 10.3 cents per linked unit for the quarter ended 31 August 2005. Total interest distributions of 36.8 cents per linked unit for the year exceed distributions for the previous year by 15%. Non-current assets at 31 August 2005 have increased by 46.17% to R3,9 billion. The Net Asset Value (NAV) per linked unit is R4,43 (2004: R2.77) Valuation of property portfolio The property portfolio was revalued by independent external valuers. The value of the portfolio increased by R745 million over the year. Deferred capital gains taxation of R177 million has been provided in respect of the revaluation surplus.

The net effect of acquisitions and sales during the year reduced the number of properties to 72. Sectoral spread by revenue comprises 56% commercial, 24% retail and 20% industrial. 32 161 m2 of vacant space was leased and existing leases in respect of 37 524 m2 were renewed during the year under review. The lease expiry profile has continued to improve and outperform the sector average with 57% of leases expiring in 2009 and beyond. At 31 August 2005, 97.2% of the property portfolio was leased (2004: 94.7%). Listed securities portfolio Redefine"s listed securities portfolio increased by R499,3 million (37%) to R1,85 billion after acquisitions of R241,3 million, disposals of R272,1 million and an increase in value of R530,1 million Borrowings In accordance with the strategy to reduce gearing to below 45% Redefine"s borrowings of R1,55 billion represents a gearing ratio of 39.48%, a substantial reduction from 52.35% in August 2004. R64,6 million cash, surplus to Redefine"s immediate requirements, has been deposited temporarily into an access facility. Prior to 1 July 2005 Redefine hedged its interest rate exposure by means of interest rate swaps. These swaps were terminated as of 30 June 2005 at a cost of R97,8 million and Redefine entered into fixed rate loan agreements. The hedging loss previously deferred in equity was removed from equity and reported in net profit on termination of the swaps. This expense was adjusted in determining distributions. The breakage cost was financed by an increase in borrowings. Redefine"s average all-in interest rate is 10.05% and 83.61% of borrowings are fixed for periods of three, five, seven and ten years. Post balance sheet events Agreements have been concluded for the sale of 18 Hurlingham Road, 22 Hurlingham Road, 24 Hurlingham Road, 44 Wierda Road, Alcom House, ERP.Com, Stand 36 Kyalami Park and Woodmead 4 & 5 for a total consideration of R57,3 million (valuation R55,4 million). Transfer of the properties is expected to be registered by end October 2005. Redefine has acquired an additional 1,5 million units in Martprop Property Fund for R4,8 million. Redefine supported a transaction in terms of which Hyprop Investments Limited made an offer to acquire SA Retail Properties Limited linked units from unit holders holding SA Retail units. Hyprop issued 1 Hyprop linked unit for every 2,7 SA Retail linked units arising from which Redefine obtained an additional 20,7 million Hyprop linked units. Redefine has supported a transaction between ApexHi Properties Limited and Prima Property Trust in terms of which holders of Prima units will receive 5.9 ApexHi "A" and 5.9 ApexHi "B" units for every 100 Prima units held. As a result Redefine will receive an additional 12,3 million ApexHi "A" and 12,3 million ApexHi "B" units. Liquidity Redefine is one of the most liquid counters in the listed property sector with 56% of its total linked units traded during the year under review. Prospects The Board anticipates that interest distributions per linked unit for the year ending 31 August 2006 will increase by at least 10% compared with the year ended 31 August 2005. This forecast has not been reviewed or reported on by Redefine"s auditors.
