DIRECTORS COMMENTARY
STRUCTURE OF ROCKCASTLE
Rockcastle was incorporated on 31 March 2012 as a Category One Global Business License Company with the primary objective
of investing globally in listed real estate assets and direct property in developing markets. Rockcastle is listed on both
the Stock Exchange of Mauritius Limited (SEM) and the Alternative Exchange of the JSE Limited (JSE) and intends releasing its 
full set of financial results in respect of the 15 month period ending 30 June 2013.

REVIEW
During the twelve month period, the Company successfully raised USD 240,8 million of capital by means of various private placings
that were substantially oversubscribed. As a result, the number of shareholders increased significantly and the trading liquidity
of the Companys shares has improved.

As at the end of the period, Rockcastles gearing ratio (total interest-bearing borrowings divided by the total assets) was 44,5%.

Continued uncertainty in the global macro-economic environment has offered various investment opportunities, particularly in Europe
and the United States of America and the Companys portfolio continues to deliver sound returns. In addition, the Company has identified
a number of sites in three African countries for direct property investments and is in the early stages of finalising these agreements.
This will assist Rockcastle in delivering continued growth in distributable earnings per share.

Rockcastle declared an interim dividend of 4,56 USD cents per share, being number 1 for Rockcastle, on 13 February 2013 in respect of the
period from incorporation to 31 December 2012. The interim dividend was paid on 11 March 2013. There were 140 000 000 shares in issue that
qualified for the dividend. No dividend has been declared nor will be paid in respect of the three months ended 31 March 2013. The Company 
will continue to consider and declare dividends on a semi-annual basis.

OUTLOOK
The Board of Directors (the Board) is confident that a dividend yield of between 7% and 9% on the initial issue price of USD 1,00 per share 
will be achieved for the financial period ending 30 June 2013.
The aforegoing forecast statement and the forecasts underlying such statement are the responsibility of the Board and have not been reviewed
or reported on by the Companys external auditors. The forecast is based on the assumptions that a stable global macro-economic environment will
prevail and no failures of listed REITs will occur.
