COMMENTARY
Introduction
Redefine is one of the largest listed South African property companies with a
diversified portfolio of 397 properties in South Africa valued at R19,0 billion
and a R5,2 billion portfolio of listed property investments, including a
controlling interest in Redefine Properties International Limited ("RIN"). RIN,
a property loan stock company which listed on the JSE Limited on 7 September
2010, owns 82% of Redefine International Plc ("Redefine International")
(formerly Ciref Plc), a property and development company listed on the AIM
market of the London Stock Exchange.
Redefine is focused on achieving long-term growth in distributions and capital
for its unitholders. The company seeks to meet its objectives through the
superior management of its property portfolio and funding requirements, the
strategic management of its listed investments and its ability to identify and
execute value-adding trading and corporate opportunities.
Financial results
Redefine has declared a final distribution of 17,0 cents per linked unit for the
three months ended 31 August 2010, which together with total distributions of
49,5 cents for the nine months to 31 May 2010, results in a total distribution
of 66,5 cents per linked unit for the year under review.
The distribution of 66,5 cents represents an increase of 17,6% over the
distribution of 56,55 cents for the year ended 31 August 2009. While this
improvement is significant and is in line with the company`s latest
communication to unitholders, the distribution is below the forecast of 68 cents
to 71 cents projected in its 2009 final results announcement. The primary
reasons for the lower distribution are the reduced contribution from the trading
operations, the yield differential on the increased investment in Redefine
International and challenging general economic conditions, including rand
strength.
Contractual rental income comprises 84% of total revenue, income from listed
securities 9% and trading and fee income 7%. Operating costs are 21% of
contractual rental income. Redefine International contributed 2,2 cents and
Redefine International Fund Managers Limited ("RIFM"), the fund manager of
Redefine International, contributed 1,5 cents to the distribustion for the year.
Changes in fair values
The property portfolio was valued at 31 August 2010 resulting in a net increase
in value of R295,9 million. The South African portfolio increased by R320,7
million while the property portfolio owned by Redefine International decreased
by R24,8 million since 1 February 2010, the effective date of acquisition.
Property valuations in the United Kingdom and Europe are stabilising and
indications are that values may strengthen in the medium term.
The investment in listed securities increased in value by R605,5 million during
the year under review.
South African property portfolio
At 31 August 2010, the portfolio comprised 397 properties with a total gross
lettable area ("GLA") of 3,65 million mSquared valued at R19,0 billion.

Hyrop Investments Limited ("Hyprop")
In August 2010, Redefine acquired an additional 19,7 million Hyprop units at R50
per unit, increasing its stake in the retail focused fund from 33,3% to 45,2%.
This transaction triggered a mandatory offer by Redefine to all remaining Hyprop
unitholders in terms of which Redefine acquired 926 593 linked units at R50 per
unit, thereby increasing its stake marginally to 45,7%.
The transaction has further enhanced Redefine`s position as Hyprop`s shareholder
of reference.

of R248,5 million, and by subscribing for additional shares in Redefine
International at a cost of R636,9 million. In August 2010, Redefine exchanged
its entire holding in Redefine International for a 100% interest in RIN which
was diluted to 57,2% after the listing of RIN on 7 September 2010.
The investments in Redefine International and RIN have been consolidated from
the effective dates of acquisition, being 1 February 2010 and 31 August 2010,

The acquired businesses contributed revenues of R217,1 million and a net loss
after taxation and fair value adjustments of R6,2 million to the group for the
year under review.
If the acquisitions had occurred on 1 September 2009, the contribution to group
revenue and net loss after taxation and fair value adjustments would have been
R265,7 million and R124,8 million, respectively.
The business combinations have been accounted for using provisional figures in
terms of IFRS 3 - "Business Combinations". The excess of the purchase price over
Redefine International`s net assets has been reflected as goodwill. A detailed
assessment of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired will
be completed by the 2011 financial year end and the required adjustments
processed.
Distribution adjustment
It is Redefine`s policy to distribute its share of income from foreign
subsidiaries to the extent of dividends received. Accordingly, an adjustment of
R17,5 million has been made to Redefine`s distributable income for the year to
align the consolidated results from its foreign subsidiaries for the year with
the anticipated dividends.
Interest in associates and joint ventures
This includes Redefine International`s 21,7% interest in Wichford Property
Management valued at R215,4 million, together with its interest in joint venture
property investments of R23,2 million. It also includes Redefine`s 49% interest
in two Enterprise Development Initiatives, Dipula Property Investment Trust and
Mergence Africa Property Investment Trust, valued at R147,6 million.
Borrowings
Excluding Redefine International and RIFM, Redefine`s borrowings at 31 August
2010 represented 34,7% of the value of its property and listed securities
portfolio. Redefine`s average cost of borrowing is 9,25%. Interest rates are
fixed on 48% of Redefine`s borrowings with a further 8% (R1,0 billion) hedged in
terms of interest rate swaps commencing in the 2011 financial year. Redefine
International and RIFM borrowings of R3,1 billion (GBP 275,7 million) are
negotiated directly by Redefine International and RIFM and have no recourse to
Redefine`s South African balance sheet.
Contingencies
At year end, Redefine had guarantees and suretyships in respect of its BEE
initiatives amounting to R459,3 million.
Linked units and liquidity
35 633 803 linked units were issued during the year to fund the acquisition of
investment properties. The linked units were issued at an average price of
R7,01.
During the year, 1,078 billion Redefine linked units traded for R7,966 billion,
equivalent to 40% of the weighted number of linked units in issue.
Prior year business combination
In 2009, Redefine acquired all of the ApexHi A, B and C linked units it did not
already own and all of the linked units in Madison. The excess of the purchase
price over the net assets acquired was reflected as goodwill in Redefine`s
annual financial statements at 31 August 2009. In the current period, the
purchase price allocation has been completed. This has resulted in the
recognition of an intangible asset, the right to manage property, as follows:
R000
Right to manage property 942 835
Deferred taxation thereon (263 994)
Net asset recognised 678 841
Goodwill initially recognised in 2009 3 248 835
Net goodwill after purchase price allocation 2 569 994
The effect on the prior year balance sheet is an increase in the deferred
taxation liability of R264 million, which arises on the recognition of the
intangible asset, and a corresponding increase in goodwill. The comparatives
have been restated accordingly.
The intangible asset will be amortised over a period of 15 years.
Property management
The property management function, which was previously outsourced, is in the
process of being brought in-house. While this project is not without challenges,
Redefine believes that internalised property management will enhance its tenant
offering and will result in increased efficiencies and economies. The benefit of
this initiative will be realised in the second half of the 2011 financial year.
Changes to the Board
Wolf Cesman resigned as joint CEO of Redefine on 10 May 2010.
Janys Finn will be resigning as financial director of Redefine with effect from
31 December 2010. The Board has embarked on a process of appointing a suitable
replacement and expects to make an announcement in this regard in the near
future.
Prospects
The company anticipates economic conditions remaining at levels similar to those
currently being experienced with a possibility of moderate growth in the latter
half of the 2011 financial year. Reasonable growth is expected from the core
property portfolio, primarily as a result of contractual rental escalations, and
the key investments in Hyprop and RIN. Fee and trading income are largely
unpredictable and difficult to forecast. Based on this, and assuming fee and
trading income are at a level similar to that of 2010, the company is
anticipating a modest increase in distributions for the year ending 31 August
2011. This forecast has not been reviewed as reported on by the group`s
auditors.
Debenture interest distribution
Unitholders are advised that interest distribution number 42 of 17,0 cents per
linked unit has been declared for the three months ended 31 August 2010. The
distribution will be payable to Redefine linked unitholders in accordance with
the abbreviated timetable set out below:
2010
Last day to trade "cum" interest distribution Friday, 19 November
Linked units "ex" interest distribution Monday, 22 November
Record date Friday, 26 November
Payment date Monday, 29 November
There may be no dematerialisation or rematerialisation of linked units between
Monday, 22 November 2010 and Friday, 26 November 2010, both days inclusive.
