4.1 PROPERTY PORTFOLIO
Market overview
Retail
Rural areas:
Retail in rural areas has held up well given the state of the economy. The
disposable income of rural communities primarily consists of government grants,
pension payouts and income remittances. The majority of customers fall into the
lower income brackets.
Typical successful shopping centres in rural areas are located in close
proximity to municipal offices, bus depots and taxi ranks. The majority of
customers in rural areas rely on public transport.
Vukile is represented in the following areas:
* Malamulele;
* Giyani;
* Monsterlus (Moratiwa);
* Piet Retief; and
* Kokstad.
Vacancies in Vukile shopping centres in rural areas are low at 0.8% of GLA.
National tenants represent 75% of the GLA of these rural centres and in most
instances there is good demand from retailers to open new brands or to expand.
Urban areas:
Our major shopping centres in lower income areas, namely Dobsonville Soweto,
Daveyton and Phoenix were developed in the early nineties and are well
established in these areas. Vacancy is low at 2.7% of GLA at these centres and
there is good demand from retailers to either expand or to open new brands. The
centres were recently upgraded and/or expanded.
The centres are anchored either by Pick n Pay or Shoprite which reported
excellent trading densities. National tenants represent 68% of the GLA of these
urban centres. Vukile is constantly investigating opportunities to expand the
centres and to improve the tenant mix.
All three centres are characterised by strong customer loyalty driven by
Vukile`s involvement with the local communities. The majority of customers rely
on public transport and taxi ranks are established on site. Most customers fall
into the lower to middle income brackets.
Namibia:
Vukile is represented in Katatura, Oshakati, Ondangwa and Oshikango. The
shopping centres in Namibia are performing extremely well and seldom have any
vacancy. Vacancies are 0.3% of GLA. The centres are anchored by Shoprite,
Spar, Pick n Pay and Game. Both the Oshakati and Oshikango Centres were
recently upgraded and expanded and the opportunity exists to further expand
Oshakati and also Ondangwa Shopping Centre.
The Oshakati Centre is dominating the market and hosts a variety of SA national
retailers.
National tenants comprise 73% of the GLA of the Namibian shopping centres.
Offices
Due to the existing economic climate we have had an increase in vacancies as a
result of tenants reducing their space and consolidating. The office market
remains quiet with limited enquiries for new space. The renewal of leases in
our CBD buildings with government tenants is becoming more difficult. We are
achieving escalations of between 5% to 8% on renewals and new deals in the
decentralised areas. However, the renewals and new deals that are done at the
moment are mostly short-term leases which indicate that the existing market
conditions are still under pressure due to the economic climate.
Industrial
In the last three months we have seen interest for new space in the industrial
market and have been able to let some industrial units, particularly small to
medium sized units. This is promising as the market for these size units is
active and it is mostly short-term as tenants are inclined to renew year on
year. The demand for larger size units is quiet. However, as the economic
climate improves going forward, business will start expanding, and hence demand
for larger size units will increase.
Performance of property portfolio
Net profit from property operations for the six months ended 30 September 2011
amounted to R276.2 million, 8% up on the comparable period. Details of the
performance of the property portfolio during the six month period is set out
below:
* The combined property portfolio currently comprises 74 properties with a
gross lettable area of 930 405mSquared.
* The sectoral spread by gross rentals comprises 56% retail, 29% offices, and
15% industrial.
* During the six month period under review, new leases and renewals with a
total area of 94 847mSquared and a contract value of R252.7 million, were
concluded.
Impairment allowance
Bad debt write-offs have increased in line with expectations for the six month
period due to the difficult trading conditions being experienced. The
impairment allowance for trade receivables at 30 September 2011 is R14.3 million
(R9.9 million at 31 March 2011), which is considered adequate at this stage. A
summary of the movement in the impairment allowance of trade receivables is set
out below:
R000
* Impairment allowance 1 Apr 2011 9 911
* Allowance for receivable impairment for
six months 4 674
* Receivables written off as uncollectable (243)
* Impairment allowance 30 Sept 2011 14 342
Bad debt write-off per the statement of
comprehensive income 660
Vacancies
The vacancy profile graph (% gross rentals) indicates that the overall vacancy
percentage has increased from 5.1% at 31 March 2011 to 6.9% at 30 September
2011.
A significant part of the increased vacancy has arisen at Randburg Square.
Randburg Square is our fourth largest property by value and is well located in
the Randburg CBD.
Following an intensive investigation at this centre it has been decided to
upgrade the mall areas, create a banking mall and a food court and improve the
sight lines and tenant exposure.
The increased vacancy of 4 259mSquared at Randburg Square is therefore due to
the extensive upgrade at the centre which has required a tenant re-mix and
relocation of tenants. Given the strong tenant demand, once the revamp is
completed, it is anticipated that there will be little vacancy at Randburg
Square, thereby reducing the retail vacancy to 3.9% and the overall vacancy to
approximately 5.9% as compared to 6.9% based on a percentage of gross rentals.
Although vacancies have increased during the six months from April to September
2011 mainly in the office and industrial sectors, these increases were not
generally attributable to the portfolio as a whole, but were at selected
properties only, i.e. large tenants vacating at Germiston Meadowdale (3
155mSquared), Parow Industrial Park (4 423mSquared) and Sandton St Andrews (1
124mSquared). At Jhb Eva Park the vacancy has increased by a further 1
372mSquared. We are in discussions with property brokers and architects to
improve the marketability of this property as well as generating specific action
plans for the properties referred to above. Although we have done a number of
lettings at Midrand Allandale, there were also a number of tenants that vacated
during the period, resulting in the overall vacancy at the property increasing
by 520mSquared. We have, however, seen an increase in enquiries for industrial
space and remain confident that the vacancy at Allandale should improve as the
economy recovers.
The retail sector has performed well in comparison to the industrial and office
sectors. This is reflected in the lower increase in rental vacancies compared
to the other sectors.
We have introduced attractive leasing incentives at selected properties in order
to reduce the overall vacancy on the portfolio.
The renewal escalations on expiry rentals were positive, as follows:
* Retail up 4.7%
* Offices up 6.5%
* Industrial up 7.7%
This compares very favourably with SAPOA`s Operating Cost Report 2011 H1 which
indicated that base rentals have only grown by 0.3% compared to 2010 H1.
The contracted rental escalation profile graph reflects a positive average
escalation across all sectors of 8.2%.
Property expenditure
Recurring property costs have increased by 21% over the comparable period,
largely driven by the 25% increase in electricity costs. This increase reduces
to approximately 13% if electricity costs are excluded from the current and
comparable costs. The increase in bad debts makes up 3.6% of the adjusted 13%
increase, resulting in an increase of 9.4% (excluding electricity costs and the
increase in bad debts) in respect of all other property expenses.
4.2 ASSET MANAGEMENT BUSINESS
4.2.1 Net asset management fees are R500 000 lower than the comparable period
following the sale by Sanlam of the R541 million portfolio to Vukile in
September 2010. Sales commission of R6.3 million is lower than the R16.7
million earned in the comparable period. However, given the current sales
pipeline, it is anticipated that a greater proportion of sales commission will
be generated over the next six months, whereas in the previous period the bulk
of sales commission was earned in the first six months. The asset management
fees earned in respect of the Vukile portfolio have been excluded from gross
revenue.
4.2.2 Asset management expenditure is R3.86 million higher than the comparable
period primarily due to a short-term bonus of R1.9 million arising in respect of
the results achieved for the year ended 31 March 2011 and payable in this
reporting period.
4.3 CORPORATE ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Corporate administrative expenses are R1.9 million lower than the comparable
period. A short-term provision of R1.9 million was reversed and reclassified to
the asset management business as set out in paragraph 4.2.2 above and hence has
had no impact on a group basis.
4.4 FINANCE COSTS
The company raised bank debt of R450 million in August 2011 to refinance an
expiring bank facility. A R400 million three year loan was concluded at a fixed
all-in rate of 8.66% per annum, inclusive of margin and costs. A variable rate
three year loan of approximately R50 million also forms part of the facility.
Taking the benefits of the lower debt costs into account, the overall cost of
funding of the Vukile group has reduced from 9.77% at 31 March 2011 to 9.38%.
The group`s variable interest rate risk on long-term debt is hedged using
interest rate swap agreements for periods expiring between one and three years.
Due to the fact that 100% of the group`s interest rate risk on long-term debt is
hedged or fixed, changes in interest rates will have no impact on the group`s
cost of debt for the current financial year.
The group has a facility of R114 million available which can be utilised without
credit approval due to the equity available in the non-securitised portfolio.
The group has initiated discussions with various banks to address the group`s
refinancing requirements in 2012.
5 Acquisition and disposals
As announced on SENS previously, Giyani Plaza was acquired in July 2011 at a
cost of R68.4 million (including transaction costs). The projected net property
revenue in respect of this acquisition of R5 million for the eight month period
is in line with the acquisition forecast.
The Kleinfontein offices and the Namibian subsidiary which owned Oshakati Beares
Shopping Centre were sold during the reporting period for a total of R7.5
million, which approximated fair value at 31 March 2011.

6 Valuations
The directors have valued the group`s property portfolio at R5.87 billion as at
30 September 2011. Inclusive of the acquisition of Giyani Plaza for R68.4
million, this represents an increase in the directors` valuation of R417.6
million as compared to the valuation at 31 March 2011. The directors have
valued the property portfolio utilising the discounted cash flow methodology.
In terms of the company`s accounting policies, approximately 50% of all
properties are valued every six months on a rotational basis by qualified
independent external valuers. The external valuation by Old Mutual Investment
Group South Africa (Pty) Ltd and Broll Valuation and Advisory Services of
approximately 51% of the total portfolio is R85 million (2.9%) lower than the
directors` valuation of the same properties at 30 September 2011.
This difference is attributable to a marginal difference in views with regards
to future capitalisation rates and discount rates.

8 Operating segment report
The revenues and profit generated by the group`s operating segments and segment
assets are summarised in the table below.
During the six month period to 30 September 2011, there have been no changes
from prior periods in the measurement methods used to determine operating
segments and reportable segment profits.
9 Events after the reporting date
The SENS announcement on 14 November 2011 set out details of the agreement to
purchase 20 properties from Sanlam Life Insurance Limited at a purchase price of
R1.5 billion. A circular setting out the full details of this acquisition will
be distributed to unitholders in due course.
10 Strategy
We have reviewed our longer-term strategy and are committed to growing the fund
more aggressively than has previously been the case. We remain committed to
being a diversified fund but staying overweight in the retail sector. To that
end we are exploring acquisitions of retail centres as well as joint venture
development opportunities in the retail environment that would complement our
existing portfolio make-up. We continue to believe in the strength and growth
of retail in the emerging market and based on the performance of our current
retail assets will primarily focus our expansion in this market segment. We
will however remain open to acquiring assets serving higher income groups should
the right opportunities present themselves.
The acquisition of the portfolio from Sanlam is the first step in our growth
strategy and will add some R1.5 billion to the value of our portfolio. Whilst
we will acquire some retail assets in the portfolio, most notably Durban
Workshop, the office assets being acquired will enhance the overall quality of
our office portfolio.
Vukile has consistently delivered solid growth in distributions and this has
laid the foundation for the next phase of our growth which will be more
acquisitive and proactive in nature whilst not detracting focus or attention
from delivering growth in distributions for our unitholders.
11 Prospects
While trading conditions are expected to remain soft in the office and
industrial sectors and given a stable retail environment we remain positive
about the prospects for the group for the remainder of the financial year and
expect positive growth in the full year distributions. This information has not
been audited or reviewed by Vukile`s auditors.
12 Payment of debenture interest and dividend
Notice is hereby given of a distribution amounting to 54.314 cents per linked
unit, for the six month period to 30 September 2011. The distribution comprises
interest on debentures of 54.203 cents per linked unit and a dividend of 0.111
cents per linked unit.
