Commentary
Profile
Redefine is a property loan stock company listed on the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange ("JSE") and manages a diversified portfolio of property assets valued
in excess of R37 billion. The company`s portfolio comprises 243 properties
located in South Africa valued at R20 billion and a R5 billion portfolio of
strategic listed property securities. Redefine is internationally diversified by
way of 206 offshore properties valued at R12 billion, held through Redefine
Properties International Limited ("RIN") and its 70% owned subsidiary Redefine
International P.L.C. ("RI"), which are listed on the JSE and the London Stock
Exchange respectively.
Redefine is committed to being the property owner of choice and the company`s
primary objective is to provide sustained and growing income for investors.
Underscoring this is Redefine`s pursuit of revenue enhancing opportunities that
translate into increasing distributions and the prospect of long-term capital
appreciation for unitholders.
Financial results
Redefine has declared a distribution of 31,50 cents per linked unit for the six
months ended 29 February 2012 (28 February 2011: 31,00 cents). On a like-for-
like recurring income basis, the distribution is 6,6% ahead of the comparable
period, after excluding 2,0 cents from the prior period for the contribution
from the properties unbundled with Arrowhead Properties Limited ("Arrowhead"),
as well as eliminating non-recurring fee income from the current and prior
year`s distributions of 0,7 cents and 0,1 cents per linked unit respectively.
On a geographic basis, South Africa generated 91% of distributable income.
Contractual rental income comprised 81% of total revenue, income from listed
securities 10%, hotel income 7%, and trading and fee income 2%. Operating costs
represent 25,6% (31 August 2011: 26,5%) of contractual rental income, mainly due
to the full period efficiencies arising from the internalisation of property
management.
RIN along with Redefine International Fund Managers Limited, the fund manager of
RI, contributed 3 cents per linked unit to the distribution for the period.
Changes in fair values
The group property portfolio was valued internally at 29 February 2012,
resulting in a net reduction in value of 1,7% (R459 million). The South African
portfolio valuation increased by R260 million, while the offshore portfolio
valuation declined by R719 million, arising mainly from the Wichford legacy
assets in RI. The investment in South African listed securities increased in
value by R11 million. The balance of the changes in fair value mainly relates to
the mark to market of the group`s interest rate swaps.

Letting activity: During the review period, leases covering 384,436 m2 were
renewed at an average rental increase of 4,2%. A further 123,609 m2 was let
across the portfolio and together with vacancies from properties disposed of,
the total vacancy level, after adjusting for unlettable space, reduced
marginally by 0,3% to 6,6%. Vacancies are set out below as a percentage of gross
lettable area ("GLA"):

Arrears at the end of February 2012 amounted to R31 million (31 August 2011: R34
million) against which a provision for possible bad debts of R13 million (31
August 2011: R9 million) is held.
Property portfolio strategy
At 29 February 2012, the South African directly managed property portfolio
comprised 243 properties with a total GLA of 3,0 million m valued at R18,9
billion.
Redefine has continued to make significant progress in implementing its strategy
of improving the quality of the core property portfolio, with the average value
per property increasing from R54 million to R78 million.
Acquisitions: Five properties were acquired and transferred during the review
period for an aggregate purchase price of R1,3 billion with a GLA of 110,147 m
at an initial yield of 9,1%. Guarantees totalling R585 million were in issue at
the period end for properties in the process of being transferred. Agreements
concluded with a number of vendors for the acquisition of properties for an
aggregate consideration of R775 million, are subject to Competition Commission
approval.
Disposals: During the period, excluding the Arrowhead portfolio, 15 properties
with a GLA of 98,938 m were sold to various buyers for an aggregate
consideration of R520 million at an average yield of 10,5%.
Unbundling and restructuring: On 9 December 2011 Arrowhead was listed and
unbundled to linked unitholders, facilitating a fast track basis to dispose of
89 properties that no longer fitted with Redefine`s investment criteria. As a
result, Redefine`s net asset value per linked unit (excluding deferred tax and
NCI) reduced by approximately 30 cents.
Fountainhead Property Trust Management Limited ("Fountainhead Manco"): On 29
March 2012 an agreement was concluded to acquire Fountainhead Manco for an
aggregate consideration of R660 million. The acquisition is conditional on all
required regulatory approvals, including approval from the Registrar of
Collective Investment Schemes, the Competition Authorities and the South African
Reserve Bank. Following the conclusion of this transaction, Redefine intends
making an offer to acquire all of the assets of Fountainhead Property Trust
("Fountainhead") in return for new units in Redefine and existing Hyprop
Investments Limited ("Hyprop") units held by Redefine.
The Fountainhead acquisition will be conditional on a due diligence
investigation and all requisite board, trustee and Redefine and Fountainhead
unitholder approvals. Redefine envisages pricing the offer at a level that, on
the distribution of the consideration units, would result in a Fountainhead
unitholder receiving Hyprop and Redefine units with a value at or about the
current `clean` price at which Fountainhead units are trading. The successful
conclusion of this transaction will largely complete Redefine`s objective to
improve the quality of its property portfolio.

February 2012 and is still subject to the securing of the necessary funding for
the acquisition.
Distribution adjustment: It is Redefine`s policy to distribute its share of
income from foreign subsidiaries to the extent of dividends received.
Accordingly, an adjustment has been made to the company`s distributable earnings
for the period to equate the consolidated results from its foreign subsidiaries
for the period to the anticipated dividends.
Interest in associates and joint ventures
This comprises Cromwell Property Group ("Cromwell"), a listed Australian
property trust, together with Redefine`s interest in joint venture property
investments of R26 million. During the period under review, the group
participated in a capital raise by Cromwell which resulted in Redefine taking a
direct 3,9% interest in Cromwell and RI increasing its holding to 23,2%.
Funding
Excluding RI, as at 29 February 2012, Redefine`s local borrowings of R8 billion
represent 32,3% of the value of its local property and listed securities
portfolio. Redefine`s average cost of funding is 9,4% and the interest rates are
fixed on 72% of borrowings for an average period of five years. RI`s borrowings
of R11 billion are all negotiated directly by RI and have no recourse to
Redefine`s South African balance sheet. RI is in the process of restructuring
its maturing facilities.
On 5 September 2011, Redefine made its debut in the local bond market with an
issue of R250 million 90 day Commercial Paper under its R5 billion Domestic
Medium Term Note Programme. This issue has been rolled twice since the initial
issue, achieving an all-in rate of 5,88% on the 2 March 2012 issue. On 27 March
2012 Redefine issued a R500 million three year bond, that was priced at an all-
in rate of 7%.

Change in accounting estimate - Deferred taxation
Redefine has accounted for Capital Gains Tax at the increased rate of 18,67%,
which affects disposals after 1 September 2012. The change in tax rate caused
deferred taxation to increase by R423 million.
Contingencies and commitments
At 29 February 2012, Redefine had guarantees and suretyships in respect of its
BEE initiatives and joint ventures amounting to R209 million and R31 million
respectively. Redefine has commitments outstanding in respect of developments
amounting to R520 million and acquisitions (detailed above).
Prospects
Despite ongoing challenging market conditions, which affect the office
properties sector in particular, Redefine`s core property portfolio is
anticipated to achieve continued growth. The anticipated distribution for the
full year of 64,0 cents per linked unit, is in line with forecast. This forecast
has not been reviewed or reported on by the group`s independent external
auditors.

Unitholders are advised that interest distribution number 46 of 31,5 cents per
linked unit has been declared for the six months ended 29 February 2012. The
distribution will be payable to Redefine linked unitholders in accordance with
