* Headline earnings have been presented in accordance with IAS 33. The linked
unit structure of the Group whereby every shareholder is a debenture holder,
coupled with the terms of the Debenture Trust Deed which states that 99.9% of
profits are attributable to debenture holders, results in the benefits of
improved trading which would be ordinarily attributable to shareholders being
expensed in the income statement as a fair value adjustment to debentures and
debenture interest. This results in no profit being attributable to ordinary
shareholders.
** Linked unit debentures are included in the net asset value and net
tangible asset value calculation.

Commentary
Introduction
Fairvest is a property investment holding company with investments in
commercial properties in South Africa. Its investment strategy is to create a
property portfolio of significant critical mass through acquisition of
quality, high-yielding properties. Accordingly, investment opportunities are
being evaluated for acquisition on an ongoing basis.
Change of financial year end
During the previous financial period the Group changed their financial year
end from 31 March to 30 June. Consequently the comparative interim reporting
period is the six months ended 30 September 2009 which is the most recent
comparable interim reporting period.
Review of results
During the period under review revenue continued to increase as vacancies
reduced to 19%, off which 7% is an unlettable property and 5% relates to
properties being refurbished, bringing the effective vacancies to below 10%.
We continue with projects to enhance the current portfolio through
refurbishments and some general maintenance, however, new opportunities are
continually evaluated to utilise excess cash and increase the gearing of the
Group.
The Group declared an interim distribution of 5.0 cents per linked unit for
the six months ended 31 December 2010. The net asset value per linked unit
increased from 146.6 cents as at 30 June 2010 to 147.6 cents as at 31
December 2010.
Revenue increased by 15.7% to R8.99 million largely as a result of reduced
vacancies. Trading profits increased by 13.0% to R3.3 million largely as a
result of cost containment and streamlining of operations, in spite off
general maintenance projects to the value of R1.5 million which reduced
trading profits. These projects are ongoing and will have a further impact on
the full year`s trading profits.
The number of properties in the portfolio has remained unchanged during the
period under review at 11 as we continue to focus on extracting value out of
the current portfolio. The value of the portfolio remained unchanged since 30
June 2010 as the properties are valued at year end, however we do not expect
negative revisions being made to the properties at year end.
An additional R4.9 million has been invested in the listed property sector in
Australia during the six months under review. Listed investments increased by
9.2% to R8.3 million since 30 June 2010.
With R34.5 million of available cash resources and a debt free balance sheet
the Group remains well positioned to take advantage of opportunities in the
current market.
Interest distributions and dividends
Interest on debentures has been calculated in terms of the Debenture Trust
Deed. An interim interest distribution of 5.0 cents per debenture unit has
been declared for the six months ended 31 December 2010 and is payable to
linked unitholders registered in the books of the company at the close of
business on Friday, 25 March 2011. No dividend has been declared for the
period in respect of the linked units.
Last date to trade linked units

Record date Friday, 1 April 2011
Payment date Monday, 4 April 2011
