COMMENTARY

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   The results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the
   AC 500 series issued by the Accounting Practices Board, the requirements of the Collective Investment
   Schemes Control Act and the JSE Limited. The accounting policies are consistent in all material respects
   with those applied in prior years. The annual results have been prepared under the supervision of Aaron
   Suckerman ACCA (UK).

2. INCOME DISTRIBUTION PER UNIT
   Fountainhead Property Trust has declared a distribution of 27.83 cents per unit for the six months
   ended 30 September 2012 which, combined with the distribution of 28 cents for the half year
   ended 30 March 2012, results in a total distribution of 55.83 cents per unit for the year ended
   30 September 2012. The total distribution is 1% ahead of the prior year. Included in the current year's
   distribution is the reversal of prior year municipal accruals of R11.6 million and the dilutive effect of
   expensing the borrowing costs on the redevelopment of Blue Route Mall. The core portfolio excluding
   properties acquired, properties disposed of, or properties under development showed growth of 4.25%
   with contractual rental showing muted growth of 4% primarily due to tougher market conditions and
   negative reversions on lease renewals.

   The Board is reviewing interest rate hedging instruments with a view to taking advantage of the current
   low interest rate environment by increasing the percentage of debt that is hedged to a minimum of
   65%. Based on preliminary discussions, the risk of new facilities not being granted is minimal due to
   the low gearing of the Trust.

4. MAJOR CAPITAL PROJECTS
   Blue Route Mall
   The mall was opened on 29 March 2012 and was 99% let at the time. The mall is trading in line with
   expectations and has been well received by tenants and shoppers. On-grade parking for an additional
   2 000 parking bays is currently under construction and is due for completion in early 2013 bringing
   this phase of the project to final completion. During the year an application for additional bulk was
   submitted to allow for future expansion of the mall. The additional parking bays under construction will
   allow for future expansion of the mall.

   A R32 million refurbishment is underway at Bryanston Shopping Centre. The centre will receive a major
   facelift with all ceilings and floors being replaced and entrances enhanced. The refurbishment is due
   for completion in November 2012. The total refurbishment will be marginally enhancing to earnings.

   Centurion Mall

10. PROSPECTS
    Based on difficult trading conditions being experienced, the temporary dilution
    of Blue Route Mall, the effect of hedging the debt and further committed capital 
    expenditure of approximately R98 million, it is anticipated that distributions 
    for 2013 will be unchanged compared with the year ended 30 September 2012. 
    Distributions for the year ending 30 September 2014 are expected to show an 
    increase of 7,2%. This forecast has not been reviewed or reported on by 
    Fountainhead Property Trust's auditor.

14. RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
    On 28 September 2012, the Board received a proposal from Redefine Properties
    Limited to acquire the Trust's property portfolio other than Orion Place, Gail
    Industrial Park and Precision House for a purchase consideration that will
    result in unitholders receiving 3 Hyprop units and 62.5 Redefine units for every
    100 Fountainhead units.

    On 23 October 2012, the Board received a proposal from Growthpoint Properties
    Limited to acquire the Trust's property portfolio in return for a combination of cash
    and Growthpoint units that will result in unitholders receiving 35 Growthpoint
    units for every 100 Fountainhead units currently held and Growthpoint will
    discharge all of the existing borrowings in the Trust.

    There are a number of conditions precedent to these two offers as well as
    regulatory and commercial issues. The Board has constituted an independent
    sub-committee which, together with its advisors, will consider the proposals in
    the light of the practicalities of each and present these to the Board.

15. INCOME DISTRIBUTION ANNOUNCEMENT

    the six months ended 30 September 2012. The source of distribution is net
    income from property rentals. The distribution is not regarded as a dividend and
    therefore no dividend withholding tax is payable on the distribution amount.
