FINANCIAL EFFECTS RELATING TO THE ACQUISITION OF THE PLAZA SHOPPING CENTRE, RANDFONTEIN
SHOPPING CENTRE AND BUSHBUCKRIDGE SHOPPING CENTRE AND WITHDRAWAL OF CAUTIONARY

INTRODUCTION

Linked unitholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 29 May 2012 in which it was announced that Dipula had concluded
agreements for the acquisition of The Plaza Shopping Centre, Randfontein Station Shopping Centre and Bushbuckridge Shopping Centre
(together "the acquisitions") for R329.9 million.

The purpose of this announcement is to present the financial effects of the acquisition.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION

The financial effects set out below are the responsibility of the directors of Dipula and have been prepared for illustrative purposes only, in
order to provide information about the results of Dipula only. Due to their nature, the unaudited pro forma financial effects do not fairly present
Dipula’s results subsequent to the acquisitions. The unaudited pro forma financial effects have not been reviewed or reported on by independent
reporting accountants.

The unaudited pro forma financial effects have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies of Dipula that were used in the
preparation of the interim results for the six months ended 29 February 2012.

The effect of the acquisition on Dipula’s net asset value is not significant (less than 3%) and therefore has not been disclosed.

                                                                                                        Before    After     % change

Notes and assumptions:

      1. The figures set out in the “Before” column above have been extracted, without adjustment, from Dipula’s interim results for the six
          months ended 29 February 2012.

          February 2012. The management of Dipula are satisfied with the quality of the information contained in these management accounts.
      3. The acquisition is assumed to have been implemented on 1 September 2011 for purposes of statement of comprehensive income.
      4. The purchase consideration is to be funded through approximately R132 million of new debt facilities while the balance will be settled
          through the issue of approximately 12.2 million Dipula A and B linked units.
      5. Transaction costs are assumed to be approximately R2.5 million.
