Notes to the Financial Statements
Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared in
accordance with the framework, concepts and the measurement and recognition
requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the AC 500
standards as issued by the Accounting Practices Board, the information as
required by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, the JSE Listings Requirements
and the requirements of the South African Companies Act.
The accounting policies adopted and methods of computation are consistent with
those applied in the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2010,
except for the recognition of deferred tax.
Octodec, as well as its associate company, IPS Investments (Pty) Limited
("IPS") has early adopted the amendment to IAS 12 relating to income tax and
which requires entities to apply the Capital Gains Tax ("CGT") rate at which
deferred tax is recognised specifically on the fair value movements on
investment property. Previously a blended tax rate was used with the land
component attracting the CGT rate of 14% and buildings attracting the income
tax rate of 28%. The effect of this change in the accounting policy in prior
years is as follows:
2010 2009

Increase in investment in associate 21 113 19 618
Decrease in deferred tax liabilities 106 772 95 833

Related party - City Property Administration (Proprietary) Limited is
responsible for the property and asset management of the group.
Subsequent events - There have been no subsequent events that require
reporting.
Contingent liability - The company has issued guarantees of R1 690 000 and
R582 000 to the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality and City Power -
Johannesburg, respectively, for the provision of services to its subsidiaries.
The company has provided a suretyship to Nedbank Property Finance, which at 31
August 2011 amounted to R224,2 million in favour of its associate company,
IPS.
Auditor`s review
The condensed provisional financial information for the year ended 31 August
2011 has been reviewed by the group`s auditors, Deloitte & Touche. The review
was conducted in accordance with ISRE 2410 "Review of Interim Financial
Information performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A copy of
their unmodified review report is available for inspection at the company`s
registered office. Any reference to future financial performance included in
this announcement, has not been reviewed or reported on by the company`s
auditors.
Comments
Review of results
Trading conditions in the retail property market deteriorated further during
the year as a result of a weakening economy. It has become increasingly
difficult to increase rentals on renewals and new tenants are reluctant to
take on new space. Octodec`s retail portfolio comprises 42,7% of the total
portfolio value and is dominated by smaller retail centres. On aggregate no
growth was achieved in rental income from the retail portfolio.
The total distribution per linked unit for the 12 months of 129,30 cents per
linked unit (2010: 130,70 cents) represents a decrease of 1,1% on that paid in
the previous corresponding period. The interim distribution was 65,00 cents
per linked unit with a final distribution of 64,30 cents. Rental income and
net rental income increased by 15,2% and 6,4%, respectively. The core
portfolio, representing those properties held for the prior comparable 12
months, reflects rental income growth of 3,0%.
Property expenses increased to 48,4% (2011: 44,1%) of revenue which was mainly
attributable to an increase in utilities and assessment rate expenses as well
as repairs and maintenance costs incurred to improve the lettability of
various vacant properties. 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
negatively affected by the increased costs of funding on the interest rate
swaps entered into at a premium to the weighted average floating interest
rates. This was done 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
portfolios by the redevelopment and refurbishment thereof. Various properties
were upgraded during the period at a total cost of R95,2 million. This
included Killarney Mall and Reliance, a complex of industrial units.
The cinema complex and adjacent restaurant area at Killarney Mall were
redeveloped and launched in May 2011. Leases for four new restaurants were
concluded. An upgrade of the office block was also completed and is now
substantially let. The total cost of the upgrade amounted to R48,3 million and
is not expected to be yield enhancing in the short term.
The redevelopment of Dan`s Place 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 five properties were purchased in the
Johannesburg CBD for an aggregate purchase price of R96,9 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 Kempton Place, Ricci`s Place
and Tali`s Place. The residential development situated in Arcadia, Pretoria,
is due for completion in November 2011 at a cost of R41,0 million.
A significant increase in income from IPS is forecast for the next financial
year.
Vacancies in the Octodec portfolio at 31 August 2011 amounted to 16,8% of
total lettable area.

Offices 10,3 10,8
Retail - Shops 2,8 2,4
Retail - Shopping Centres 0,3 1,4
Industrial 3,4 3,2
Total 16,8 17,8
The vacant lettable area at Gezina Shopping Centre and at Killarney Mall has
reduced significantly.
A large percentage of the vacancies in the portfolio 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.
Borrowings
During the year the borrowings increased as a result of the acquisition of
properties, the purchase of 4 643 804 Premium shares and development costs
incurred. Octodec`s gearing at the end of the year under review was 39,6% of
the value of its investment portfolio against 33,8% at 31 August 2010.
Interest rates in respect of 62,2% of borrowings at 31 August 2011 have been
hedged at an average annual interest rate of 10,5% maturing at various dates
ranging from May 2013 to October 2018. Details of borrowings are as follows:

Revaluation of property portfolio
It is the group`s policy to perform directors` valuations of all the
properties on a six-monthly basis and at year-end. At the year-end one-third
of the properties are valued by external valuers. The decrease in the
directors` valuation of the portfolio by R22 million to R2,46 billion
represents a decrease of 0,9%.
Directorate
Unitholders are referred to the SENS release on 2 September 2011 advising that
Mr Alec Wapnick resigned from the board of Octodec as executive chairman, with
effect from 30 September 2011.
A visionary and exceptional man, during his 55 years in the property industry,
Mr Wapnick created amongst others, Octodec and Premium, which have combined
assets of R7 billion. The Board wishes to express its profound gratitude and
appreciation to the Chairman for his immeasurable contribution to the growth
and development of the company. Mr Wapnick has been a guiding force within the
company, which has benefited from his mentoring leadership and wise counsel.
His passion, integrity, fair and considered approach and his work ethic have
been an example to all with whom he has worked.
Jeffrey Wapnick who has made a tremendous contribution to the growth and
development of Octodec in his capacity as Managing Director of the company
will continue in his current capacity.
Sharon Wapnick, who has been a non-executive director on the board of Octodec
since 1994, and who has a wealth of experience in the property industry
assumed the position of non-executive Chairman with effect from 1 October
2011.
Prospects
The current economic environment, specifically the tightening of consumer
spending is likely to further impact on distribution growth. However as a
result of a major focus on the upgrading of properties, management is
optimistic that Octodec will deliver an increase in distributions in the next
financial year.
Unitholders are advised that the abovementioned forecast has not been reviewed
nor reported on by the company`s auditors.
