INTRODUCTION
SA Corporate Real Estate Fund is a JSE listed Property Unit Trust which
owns a portfolio of retail, industrial and commercial buildings located
primarily in the major metropolitan areas of South Africa.

FINANCIAL RESULTS AND PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE
The full year's distribution (30.15cpu) increased by 4.6% (2011:
28.83cpu). The distribution for the second half of the year to December
2012 (14.98cpu) increased by 3.5% relative to the comparable period in
December 2011 (14.48cpu). During the current year the distribution was
impacted by disposals made in 2011 and 2012 with the standing portfolio
distribution increasing by 3.5%. The premium to net asset value increased
to 6.7% (NAV: 342cpu, Unit price: 365cpu) from 3.3% (2011: NAV: 335cpu,
Unit price: 346cpu).

These results include a provision of R5,9m pending the finalisation of a
VAT attribution ruling from SARS, relating to the period 2007 to 2012.
Without this provision the final distribution would have increased by
5.5% and total distribution by 5.6%.

Industrial rental growth (7.3%) was underpinned by solid tenant
retentions of 92.4% combined with positive rental reversions. Retail
rental income decreased by 6.0%. The reduction is attributable to a
combination of the impact of disposals and a 0.9% increase in vacancies.
Retail rental income on the standing portfolio has improved from a 2.9%
dilution as at 31 December 2011 to 5.3% growth as at December 2012,
arising from improved retentions (87.3% and positive reversions 2.5%).
Commercial rental income increased by 3.9%. The total standing portfolio
rental (excluding recoveries) increased by 6.9%, mainly due to improved
tenant retention and positive rental reversions.
SA Corporate disposed of its investment in Oryx Properties Limited
(“Oryx”) in January this year, resulting in a 91.7% decrease in interest
income from associate. The proceeds were utilised to fund unit
repurchases and settle the R100m loan yielding interest of 10.57%
resulting in enhanced distributions.

Property expenses increased by 2.5%. Municipal costs (representing 61.6%
of property expenses) increased by 6.8%, due to an increase in
electricity of 10.2%. Bad debts decreased by 75% (R6,1m) compared to
December 2011 (R24,1m) driven by improved collections and reduced tenant
business failures relative to 2011.

Net interest paid decreased by 22.7%. The reduction is attributable to
the early settlement of expensive debt resulting in a reduction in
interest expense. In December 2012, the Fund restructured its debt swap
profile by cancelling interest-rate swap contracts with high rates and
entered into agreements at more favourable rates. There is an estimated
benefit of R38,8m to the Fund over the next 3 years after taking into
account the funding costs in respect of the cancellation fees paid of
R59,3m. The cancellation fees paid will not affect distributions.

PROPERTY VALUATIONS
The value of the Fund's independently valued property portfolio decreased
by R0,5bn to R8,1bn as at 31 December 2012 (31 December 2011: R8,6bn).
The standing portfolio, representing properties held for the full 12
months (and excluding properties under development in the last 12 months)
in December 2012, increased by 3.6%, from December 2011.

The capitalisation and discount rates in the Fund's standing portfolio at
31 December 2012 was calculated on a weighted basis:

Property type      Capitalisation     Discount rate (%)   Growth in standing
                         rate (%)                              portfolio (%)

Portfolio total     9.3       9.7       14.8       15.7                  3.6

The portfolio valuation gives rise to a NAV of 342cpu, a 2.1% increase
over December 2011 (335cpu). The improvement in the capitalisation and
discount rates are attributable to a strengthening in property market
conditions.

LEASE EXPIRIES AND VACANCIES#
Vacancies in terms of rentable area and rental income were as follows:

Property type           Vacancy as % of GLA        Vacancy as % of rental income
                     31.12.2012 31.12.2011                31.12.2012 31.12.2011

The Fund's industrial vacancy as at end December 2012 was 1.3% (December
2011: 1.4%). The quality of the portfolio ensured that the industrial
portfolio remains well let and better than the sector average. This is
underpinned by a robust retention strategy while partnering with tenants
to accomodate their operational requirements. There is pressure on rental
levels as tenants strive to balance higher occupancy costs with their
affordability threshholds.

Retail vacancies (10.6%) increased since December 2011 (9.7%) due to
developed areas previously moth balled but now capable of being let and
strategic areas held for expansion for existing and prospective tenants.

The two-tier market trend continues to define the office sector with B
and C-grade properties remaining under significant pressure, where the
lower grade properties are unable to compete in terms of efficiencies
(and densification), while tenants endeavor to lower occupancy costs and
increase headcount per square metre. Stand-alone office vacancies of
total offices are higher at 10.9% (2011: 5.5%) and retail office
vacancies of total offices are marginally better at 8.3% (2011: 8.4%).
The increase in the stand alone office vacancy is attributable to two
lower grade office buildings totaling some 5,000m2 becoming vacant in the
last quarter of 2012.

The lease expiry profile and vacancies (by GLA) are set out below:

TENANT RETENTION AND RENTAL REVERSION#

Gearing remained low with debt amounting to 14.0% of the total portfolio
(31 December 2011: 20.2%). 100.0% of the debt is variable as at 31
December 2012, due to the settlement of all its swaps as at 14 December
2012. The Fund entered into new swap arrangements, effective as at 2
January 2013, hedging R720m of its R900m long-term debt.

STRATEGY AND PROSPECTS
The Fund's strategy has four pillars. The first is an investment strategy
that underpins sustainable distribution growth. This requires that
acquisitions of appropriate quality properties are made and the
divestments of properties not compatible to the Fund in the long term are
accompanied with acquisitions that do meet the Fund's long term
objectives. In this regard the Fund has made one acquisition in 2013 and
continues to explore other investment opportunities including development
partnerships.

The second pillar is to procure sector best property management services
to secure optimal performance of the Fund's portfolio and a request for
proposal for these services is to be issued shortly.

The third pillar entails establishing an optimal capital structure, which
includes not only an appropriate level of gearing but also well priced
debt and a managed interest rate policy. Progress has been made with the
latter whilst a project to access the debt capital markets is underway to
support the former.

The final pillar is the alignment of investor and management interests.
Given the regulatory environment, execution of the latter is a complex
matter. Considerable research has been undertaken to formulate a
structure to achieve this objective and management are now appropriately
placed to take this forward.

In the opinion of the Board, having embarked upon the execution of the
aforementioned strategy improved distribution growth is anticipated for
2013.

3. Contingent Liability

As noted in the commentary on the financial results, a provision of R5,9m
has been raised in respect of a VAT attribution dispute with SARS for the
period 2007 to 2012, against a SARS indication to raise an assessment of
R10,4m. The Fund disputes the calculation and considers the provision to
be adequate.

4. Unit repurchase and subsequent events
The Board previously approved the implementation of a unit repurchase
programme for which prior approval had been given by the unitholders at
the respective annual general meetings in May 2011 and 2012. In terms of
the programme, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the properties
can be used to repurchase units in the open market which would then be
cancelled. In March to April 2012 30,952,100 units were repurchased in
the open market at an average price of 323.08c and in December 2012
11,927,435 where repurchased at an average price of 356.24c. Subsequent
to year end, another 58,896,063 units were repurchased in the open market
at an average price of 378.61c.
