Comments
Review of results
The total distribution per linked unit for the six months of 65,00 cents (2010:
65,10 cents) represents a decrease of 0,2% on that paid in the previous
corresponding period. Rental income and net rental income increased by 16% and
5,0% respectively. The core portfolio, representing those properties held for
the prior comparable six months, reflects rental income growth of 2%.
The challenging trading conditions continued during the period resulting in a
slow take up of vacant space and as a result exerted further downward pressure
on rentals.
Property expenses increased to 48,0% (2010: 42,5%) of revenue which was mainly
attributable to an increase in utilities and assessment rate expenses as well as
repairs and maintenance costs. Although our leases allow for the recovery of the
increased utilities and assessment rates from tenants, this does impact
negatively on the new rentals on expiry of leases. Distributable income was
positively impacted by the reduction in the prime interest rate during the
period. However this was offset by the increased costs of funding on the
interest rate swaps entered into at a premium to the weighted average floating
interest rates, in order to fix interest rates in a low interest rate
environment.
Property portfolio
Octodec continued to unlock the value of its Johannesburg and Pretoria CBD
portfolios by the redevelopment and refurbishment thereof. Various properties
were upgraded during the period at a total cost of R41,8 million. This included
Killarney Mall and Reliance, a complex of industrial units. The cinema complex
and adjacent restaurant area at Killarney Mall has been redeveloped and will be
launched in May 2011. Leases for the four new restaurants have been concluded.
The total cost of the upgrade amounts to R33,8 million and is not expected to be
yield enhancing in the short term. An upgrade of the office block was also
completed at a cost of R4,8 million which is now substantially let.
The redevelopment of Rand Central in the Johannesburg CBD commenced during the
period. This residential development is expected to cost R45 million and will
create 143 residential units. It is anticipated that the project will be
completed by March 2012 and yield a return of 9,9% once fully let.
During the period under review four properties were purchased in the
Johannesburg CBD for an aggregate purchase price of R90,2 million. The average
initial yield amounts to 10,0%.
As anticipated the performance of IPS was negatively impacted by the phased take
up of its mixed-use residential developments. A significant increase in income
from IPS is forecast for the next financial year of IPS.
Details of some of these IPS developments are:

TOTAL (%) 17,8 17,8
The vacant retail space is largely attributable to vacancies at Gezina Shopping
Centre, the vacancies at Killarney Mall having reduced significantly. A large
percentage of the vacancies are in respect of properties acquired with large
vacancies and where little or no consideration was paid for the vacant space. As
the opportunities arise the potential of these vacancies is being realised.
Octodec continues to pursue investment and redevelopment opportunities that will
enhance the overall quality of the portfolio.

Borrowings
During the period borrowings increased by R187,8 million, as a result of the
acquisition of properties, the purchase of 4 343 804 Premium shares and
development costs incurred. Octodec`s gearing at the end of the period under
review was 37,1% of the value of its portfolio against 34,1% at 31 August 2010.
The group remains financially sound with facilities available to fund future
cash flow requirements.
Interest rates in respect of 53,7% of borrowings at 28 February 2011 have been
fixed at an average interest rate of 9,3% maturing at various dates ranging from
November 2013 to May 2018.
Revaluation of property portfolio
At each financial year end at least one-third of the property portfolio is
valued on a rotational basis by external valuers, while at the interim stage
directors` valuations are performed by applying market related yields. The
directors` valuation of the portfolio increased by R45,9 million, which gives
rise to a net asset value of 1 735 cents per unit.
Prospects
Challenging market conditions have influenced the demand for space, causing a
slower take up of vacancies with new tenants reluctant to take on new space.
Although the local economy has emerged from a recession, it is anticipated that
the growth in the economy will remain subdued in the short to medium term.
The board believes that distributable earnings for the second six month period
will be on a par with, if not better than the distributable earnings reported
for the six months ended 28 February 2011.
Unit holders are advised that the above mentioned information has not been
reviewed nor reported on by the company`s auditors.
