Since its official listing date of 23 November 2005 the Fund has delivered an
annualised return of 11.1 percent to investors compared to an annualised
inflation of 6.6 percent over the same period.
Highlights
NAV growth of 4.4 percent year-on-year to 1388 cents
Stable dividend distribution in a challenging market
Strong balance sheet with zero debt
Increased footfall in retail properties of 7.4 percent year-on-year
Well diversified with 23 percent global exposure
Overview
The Fund has delivered solid and consistent performance over the years and this
has continued during the six months under review. NAV has improved by 4.4
percent year-on-year, reaching 1388 cents per unit (September 2010: 1329 cents)
on the back of underlying strong performance and global diversification.
Unitholders have realised a total return of 12.3 percent over the past year to
September 2011 compared to inflation of 5.2 percent over the same period. The
adjusted distribution per unit excluding non-permissible income increased by 0.6
percent from 46.8 cents in September 2010 to 47.1 cents in September 2011. While
the adjusted distribution growth has increased marginally, year-on-year, it was
better than budgeted, considering the significant increases in administered
prices, repositioning of the portfolio, the strong Rand and low yields on cash
equivalents.
The Fund is appropriately positioned for the current economic environment and is
well diversified in terms of sector, tenant mix, geography and currency. The
attractiveness of the global property market has resulted in the Fund increasing
its global exposure to 23 percent while maintaining a strong and ungeared
balance sheet.
The office and industrial sectors of the portfolio performed particularly well.
Space was fully let during the period under review and the rentals on these
sectors have shown good growth. In the retail sector we have historically
acquired prime properties at attractive valuations. Our focus in the last few
years has been on improving the mix of tenants within those properties and
bulking the properties appropriately. We are expanding the earning potential of
the Ridge by developing 2 additional spaces which are intended for national
tenants.
Overview of performance
The Fund has continued to deliver a competitive return relative to inflation.

Office Properties
The office component of the portfolio continues to be fully let, with new leases
at market related rentals and escalations. The Fund is also in the process of
acquiring a property in Cape Town, which is ideally positioned to enhance
revenue through its advertising ability and will be an attractive addition to
our existing portfolio.
Industrial Properties
The Fund has five industrial properties which were fully let during the period
under review. At the end of September, one tenant space was vacated when the
lease expired but we are confident that we will fill this vacancy soon due to
the attractive location of the property.
Retail Properties
At the Ridge@Shallcross the focus continues to be on the development of the
Centre to enhance standards and customer experience. We are currently in the
process of making improvements in order to accommodate two new national tenants
who will occupy a substantial space and expect significant progress with regards
to filling vacancies in the next six months.
Since acquisition, the Centre has experienced continuous improvements of
turnover levels, trading densities and footfall numbers. The footfall for the
month of September 2011 is up 7.4 percent, year-on-year, which is a substantial
increase in the current economic environment. We have had good growth in
turnover and our retail properties are well positioned.
Global investment
The Fund has 23 percent of its portfolio invested in global investments of
R135.2 million (September 2010: R116.9 million). The global listed property
sector has successfully reduced levels of debt, strengthened its financial
position and is currently offering attractive opportunities in high quality
property assets
Outlook
The South African property environment is anticipated to remain challenging in
the year ahead. The industry is facing an oversupply of property in certain
sectors while demand is fairly muted. In addition, increasing administered costs
such as electricity and rates as well as an increase in maintenance costs will
put pressure on distribution growth for the industry in the near future.
The income generating capacity of the existing direct property portfolio is
anticipated to improve and contribute towards unitholder value over the next few
years. The Fund`s global diversification decreases risk and provides exposure to
high quality global assets. The substantial cash holdings of the Fund provide it
with significant flexibility to grow through value-enhancing acquisitions and
developments.
Since its official listing date of 23 November 2005 the Fund has delivered on
its objectives of providing real returns to unitholders who have received an
annualised return of 11.1 percent compared to an annualised inflation of 6.6
percent over the same period. We remain focused on delivering sustainable real
returns in the years to come.
Service charge
The service charge is equal to 0.5% per annum of the Fund`s market
capitalisation and borrowing facilities based on the average daily closing
prices of the units. The amount paid to OCPFM was R1.269 million (September
2010: R1.162 million).
Property management
Property management is outsourced to OCPFM and external service providers. The
amount paid to OCPFM was R436 173 (September 2010: R456 000).
Actual units in issue
September 2011: 39 592 393 (September 2010: 37 462 790).
Changes to the board
During the interim period, Mr Busisa Mhlanga Jiya resigned as Non-executive
Director effective 2 October 2011. The Board will appoint a new Non-executive
Director as soon as possible, but no later than the next Board of directors
meeting.
