Their unqualified report is available for inspection at the company"s registered office. Basis of preparation The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (`IFRS") and IAS34 - Interim Financial Reporting. In order to comply with international interpretation of IAS17-Leases, total revenue reflects rental income recognised on a straight-line basis. The comparatives have been restated accordingly. This adjustment has no effect on prior period profit or equity. The accounting policies are materially consistent with those applied in previous years. COMMENTS Financial results Redefine continues to increase distributions per linked unit with growth for the six months to 28 February 2006 of 21.2% over the comparative period. The Board has approved an interest distribution of 10.6 cents per linked unit for the quarter ended 28 February 2006. This together with an interim distribution of 10.3 cents per linked unit for the quarter ended 30 November 2005 amounts to a total interest distribution for the six months ended 28 February 2006 of 20.9 cents per linked unit. This is in line with the forecast for the year ending August 2006. Non-current assets have increased by 42.0% to R5,1 billion at 28 February 2006 (Feb 2005: R3,6 billion). Net Asset Value (NAV) per linked unit is R5,82 (Feb 2005: R3.63) Valuation of property portfolio The directors have valued the property portfolio by applying market related rates which are substantiated by the independent external valuers. This has resulted in an increase in the value of the portfolio of R324,1 million or 15.7%. Deferred capital gains taxation of R47,0 million has been provided in respect of the revaluation surplus. The property portfolio is revalued by independent external valuers at the end of each financial year.

The reduction in the ratio arises from a positive re-rating of the listed property sector. Sectoral spread by revenue comprises 56.8% commercial, 24.5% retail and 18.7% industrial. It is Redefine"s strategy to increase its retail assets. During the period under review 16 038m2 of vacant space was leased and leases in respect of 21 575m2 were renewed. The lease expiry profile has continued to improve and outperform the sector average with 63.5% of leases expiring in 2009 and beyond. At 28 February 2006, 97.3% of the property portfolio was leased (Feb 2005: 96.3%). Listed securities portfolio Hyprop Investments Limited made an offer to acquire SA Retail Properties Limited linked units from unitholders holding SA Retail units in terms of which the consideration was 1 Hyprop linked unit for every 2.7 SA Retail linked units. Redefine accepted the offer and obtained an additional 20,7 million Hyprop linked units. Subsequently an additional 8,2 million Hyprop linked units were purchased increasing Redefine"s holding in Hyprop to 28.9%. ApexHi Properties Limited purchased the entire business of Prima Property Trust. Prima unitholders received 5.9 ApexHi `A" and 5.9 ApexHi `B" units for every 100 Prima units held. As a result Redefine received an additional 12,3 million ApexHi `A" and 12,3 million ApexHi `B" linked units. Redefine purchased an additional 15,6 million units in Marriott Property Fund. The value of Redefine"s listed securities portfolio increased by 77.7% from February 2005 to R2,7 billion. Borrowings Redefine"s borrowings of R1,9 billion represent gearing of 36.9% a reduction from 39.5% at August 2005 (Feb 2005: 42.6%). The current average all-in interest rate is 9.9% and the interest rate of 69.3% on borrowings is fixed for an average period of five years. Liquidity Redefine is one of the most liquid counters in the listed property sector with 29.2% of its linked units in issue having traded during the six months ended February 2006. Prospects The Board anticipates that the total distribution per linked unit for the six months ended 28 February 2006 will at least be maintained for the remainder of the current financial year. Rights Issue Unitholders are advised that the Board has resolved to implement a rights offer to raise capital of up to R310,3 million, full details of which are published in an announcement released simultaneously with this announcement. Distribution Unitholders are advised that interest distribution No. 24 in respect of the period 1 December 2005 to 28 February 2006 of 10.6 cents per linked unit has been declared. * The last date to trade cum interest Thursday, 20 April 2006 * Linked units will trade ex interest Friday, 21 April 2006 * Record Date Friday, 28 April 2006 * Payment of interest distribution No. 24 Tuesday, 2 May 2006 Unitholders may not dematerialise or re-materialise their linked units between Friday, 21 April and Friday, 28 April 2006, both days inclusive.
