Commentary
Introduction
RIN holds as its main asset a controlling 65,81% shareholding in Redefine International P.L.C. (RI PLC). Each linked
unit in RIN effectively equates to one share in RI PLC. 

Background to RI PLC
RI PLC is an income-focused property investment company with exposure to a broad range of properties and geographical
areas and is listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange (the LSE). It is domiciled in the Isle of Man and
has investments in the UK, Germany, Switzerland, the Channel Islands, the Netherlands and Australia.

The Groups strategy is to deliver sustainable and growing income returns through investment into income yielding
assets let to high-quality occupiers on long leases. Development exposure is generally limited to asset management and
ancillary development of existing assets in order to enhance and protect capital values. RI PLC distributes the majority of
its earnings available for distribution on a semi-annual basis, providing investors with attractive income returns and
exposure to capital growth opportunities. In terms of its trust deed, RIN makes semi-annual interest distributions based
on distributable earnings.

RI PLC acquires real estate investments in large, well-developed economies with established and transparent real
estate markets. The investment portfolio is geographically diversified across the UK, Europe and Australia providing exposure
to the retail, office, industrial and hotel sectors.

RI PLC has announced its intention to convert to a UK REIT. Recent changes to the UK REIT regime enacted in the UK
Finance Bill 2012 including, inter alia, the abolition of the 2% entry charge, have made the conversion to a UK REIT more
attractive to RI PLC and its shareholders. 

Restructuring
As previously announced, RI PLC has highlighted its intention to seek an inward listing on the JSE Limited (JSE) to
enable the Group to simplify its corporate structure and consolidate its shareholder base. RI PLC has received
confirmation from the South African Reserve Bank that it is agreeable to consider an application for an inward listing onto the
JSE which will be subject to all necessary approvals. It is expected to result in an unbundling of the RI PLC shares held
by RIN and should have the impact of enhancing the Groups liquidity and free float, with existing unitholders in RIN
becoming direct shareholders in RI PLC through a dual listing on the LSE and the JSE.

Chairmans statement
It is pleasing to report another solid half-year performance. The Group met its earnings and investment targets and
has made substantial progress towards completing the restructuring of the Wichford legacy assets and associated debt.

Once again our diversified income base has been a major contributor to our performance, with Cromwell and the European
portfolio delivering outstanding returns while the UK investment silos struggled in trying market conditions.

The exceptional returns achieved on the Cromwell investment have more than justified the decision to invest in
Australia and Cromwell in particular. Approximately 27% of the Cromwell holding post period end was disposed of, as part 
of a process of capital recycling. The Company remains an equity supporter of Cromwell and the management team over the long term.

Prospects and strategy
The Group will continue to focus on upgrading the size and quality of properties under ownership and eliminating
low-grade, low-growth properties. 

Capital is being invested into the UK retail portfolio to enhance and expand existing centres. Consideration is also
being given to the acquisition of a major shopping centre to take advantage of the favourable investment market.

With the Wichford legacy assets and debt largely resolved, RI PLC can look forward to expanding its asset base through
capital recycling and investing in growth areas.

Europe is expected to be a major expansion area for the Group, with management working on a significant retail
acquisition.

RI PLCs results
The results for RI PLC for the six months ended 28 February 2013 have been released simultaneously with these results
and can be viewed on the website www.redefineinternational.com or on the JSEs SENS or the LSEs Regulatory News
Service. Unitholders will be able to obtain further financial information and commentary on the performance of RI PLC for the
six months ended 28 February 2013 by referring to those results. 

Trading statement update
In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, property entities are required to publish a trading
statement as soon as they are satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the distribution for the period to be
reported upon next will differ by at least 15% from the distribution for the previous corresponding period. In light of
the additional linked units that were issued as part of the capital raise in October 2012, linked unitholders were
advised that RIN anticipated that the distribution per linked unit for the full year ending 31 August 2013 would be between
approximately 25% and 30% lower than for the year ended 31 August 2012. 

The distribution per linked unit for the six months ended 28 February 2013 of 1,47 pence reflects a 29,7% decrease
from the 2,09 pence per linked unit distributed in the previous comparable period. The full-year distribution is expected
to be within the range set out above, i.e. 3,07 to 3,29 pence per linked unit.

Fair value adjustment on debentures
Each linked unit comprises one share and one debenture. The debentures have been designated at fair value through
profit or loss.

Debentures are adjusted to fair value which represents the net asset value of RI PLC attributable to debenture
holders. As one linked unit in the Company effectively equates to one share in the Companys subsidiary, RI PLC, the fair value
of one debenture is determined by reference to the cum dividend net asset value of one RI PLC share as at 28 February
2013.

  Debentures are reflected in the statement of financial position as follows:

Basis of preparation
These condensed consolidated interim results of the Group for the six months ended 28 February 2013 have not been
reviewed or audited by the Companys auditors KPMG Inc. They are presented in pound sterling which represents the functional
currency of the Company and the presentational currency of the Group and are rounded to the nearest thousand. The
preparation of these results was supervised by the Financial Director, Andrew Rowell CA(SA).

These condensed consolidated results have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), specifically IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, the AC 500
series issued by The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants, the South African Companies Act, 71 of 2008 and the
JSE Listings Requirements. 

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect
the application of policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. In preparing these condensed
consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Groups accounting
policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the condensed consolidated
interim financial statements as at and for the six months ended 28 February 2013, for its subsidiary entity RI PLC.

The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same
as those applied by the Group in its audited financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 August 2012.

The Group is exposed to the risk of changes to tax legislation in the various countries in which the Group operates.
It is also exposed to different interpretations of tax regulations between the tax authorities and the Group. As a
property loan stock company in South Africa, RIN distributes all of its earnings on the basis that the debenture interest is
tax deductible. The wording of current taxation legislation is such that there is an alternative view. The board has
taken advice on the matter from its legal advisers and on the basis of the advice received believes that the deduction of
debenture interest is appropriate. Should the debenture interest not be deductible for tax purposes this would have a
consequential impact on the tax liability as at 28 February 2013.

Financial review
Overview
The Groups profit after tax attributable to equity holders was £22,3 million, compared to a loss of £6,8 million for
the six months ended 29 February 2012. Earnings available for distribution were £9,4 million, up by £0,4 million from
the previous comparable period. Basic earnings per linked unit were 5,32 pence compared to 0,51 pence for the six months
ended 29 February 2012.

As a result of a small underlying increase in investment property values of £0,9 million and an uplift in the market
value of the Cromwell securities, Adjusted NAV per linked unit (refer below) increased by 2,99 pence from 36,20 pence at
31 August 2012 to 39,19 pence at 28 February 2013. Adjusting for the effects of the capital raise in October 2012, the
Adjusted NAV increased by 4,37 pence, an increase of 12,5%. 

The European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) publish best practice recommendations for Europes Stock Exchange
listed real estate sector. In order to enhance comparability and transparency RI PLC and RIN have adopted the EPRA net
asset value measure within their reporting. The EPRA net asset value (NAV) presented removes the cumulative fair value
movements of interest rate derivatives and deferred tax. The EPRA NAV per linked unit increased from 21,21 pence at 31
August 2012 to 26,88 pence per linked unit. 

The EPRA NAV as at 28 February 2013, includes items which, in the opinion of the board, should be adjusted for in
order to better reflect the underlying net asset value of the Group. An Adjusted NAV has therefore been calculated as
follows:

  Notes:
  1. Notwithstanding the appointment of a receiver to the assets held in the Gamma portfolio, the residual non-recourse
  debt of £47,9 million, associated with the portfolio, will remain on the balance sheet until such time as it can be
  legally extinguished or the Group loses control of Wichford Gamma Limited. Further detail is provided in the RI PLC interim
  results.
  2. Following the successful completion of the Delta restructuring announced on 15 October 2012, the negative net asset
  value position of 2,60 pence per linked unit is expected to reverse over the remaining term of the loan.
  3. Cromwell has been equity accounted at a net asset value of AUD68,0 cents per security at 28 February 2013. The
  market price of Cromwell at 28 February 2013 was AUD94,0 cents per security and should the Cromwell investment have been
  accounted for at fair value at 28 February 2013 would have led to a write-up of 4,73 pence per linked unit. 

Debenture interest distribution

February 2013. The announcement of the rand equivalent of the interest distribution will be made on or before 10 May 2013.
