Growth in distribution +3,5%
Vacancies decreased to 5,6%
Net asset value growth of 14,9% to 1 325c per PI
Total return of 26,2%

Commentary
The board of directors of Strategic Real Estate Managers (Pty) Ltd (STREM) is pleased to announce a distribution of
114,59 cents per Emira participatory interest (PI) for the 12 months to 30 June 2013.  This is an increase of 3,5% on
the previous comparable period, and results in PI holders receiving a total return of 26,2% for the period, comprising a
capital return of 17,3% and income return of 8,9%. 

Vacancies and tenant renewals: Vacancies as a percentage of GLA decreased from 10,2% at June 2012 to 5,6% by June 2013, 
which represents a decline in vacancies of 55,319m², primarily driven by substantial leasing in the office and retail sectors. 
Major new leases concluded include: 20 Anvil Road let to a single tenant of 12 248m² for seven years, a lease for 4 094m² 
to SARS for five years at Waterkloof House, an engineering firm on a five year lease for 3 805m² at 96 Loper Road, 7 383m² to 
Eskom at 1 Kikuyu Road for three years, 5 374m² to BMW at 500 Smuts Drive for one year, 2 652m² to Damelin at Faerie Glen for 
three years and 2 378m² to SAFCOL at Podium at Menlyn for five years.
During the period the Fund also managed to renew its largest tenant by GLA, RTT Group, which occupies a total of 59 594m², for
a period of approximately 5,5 years from January 2013.  Other major lease renewals include:  10 239m² to Sasol, in Rosebank for 
5 years, 6 603m² to Mitek in Midrand for 3 years and 5 870m² to Auto Spares at Cochrane Avenue for 1 year.

Disposals: The strategy to dispose of non-core buildings continued during the period under review. Three properties
totalling R85,9m - Mutual Mews, 33 Heerengracht and Midrand Business Park, were transferred during the period.  
A further five properties - Montana Value Centre, Worldwear Fashion Mall, Fleetway House, 261 Surrey Avenue and Georgian Place,
totalling R155,2m had been unconditionally sold at 30 June 2013 but had not yet been transferred. Ten non-core properties with 
a value of R469,5m remain on the disposal list.

Acquisitions: As was reported previously, the Fund acquired a new 13 782m² A-grade office development on the corner of Corobay 
and Aramist Avenues in Menlyn, Pretoria, for R311,5m. The building is 70% let to Worley Parsons on a ten year lease.  
Subsequent to the year end, the Fund took transfer of three buildings in the Highgrove Office Park, Centurion, for R24,6m, taking 
the number of buildings owned in this A-Grade office park to six, valued at R105,2m.

Refurbishments and extensions: Several projects totalling approximately R610,2m are underway, the most significant of
which include (i) a major upgrade and extension to Wonderpark Shopping Centre, where the centre is being enlarged from
63 000m² to 90 000 m² to accommodate existing national tenants such as Game, Woolworths, Jet and Edgars and the
introduction of new anchor tenants such as Checkers, Dis-Chem, Stuttafords, Hi Fi Corp, PQ Clothing, Cotton On and The Hub
(R513m), (ii) a substantial refurbishment at Hyde Park Lane (R21,3m), (iii) the refurbishment of Braamfontein Centre (R16,7m), 
(iv) extensions to Kokstad Shopping Centre for national tenants (R11,0m), and (v) the refurbishment of East Coast Radio House 
(R10,1m) in return for a 10 year lease. The extension of Woolworths at Boskruin Shopping Centre (R9,5m) was completed during 
the period. 

Repurchases of Participatory Interests (PIs): The board previously approved the implementation of a PI repurchase
programme which was confirmed by PI holders at the AGM in November 2012. In terms of the programme, a portion of the
proceeds from the sale of the properties can be used to repurchase PIs in the open market. Between 30 June 2011 and 30 June
2013, 10,7m PIs had been repurchased in the open market at a cost of R137,6m, an average of R12,85 per PI.
The Fund will continue to repurchase PIs at prices considered beneficial to PI holders.

Gearing: In order to take advantage of the lower interest rates available in the debt capital market, Emira issued
R400m of 3-month unsecured commercial paper in August 2012.  The proceeds raised were used to partly repay a portion of the
R650m Emira commercial mortgage backed securitisation (CMBS) which was due for repayment in March 2013. The
commercial paper was successfully rolled-over in November 2012, February 2013 and August 2013. 
Furthermore, in November 2012, Emira placed 1-year unsecured commercial paper for R450m at an all-in-rate of 5,825%. 
R250m of the proceeds were used to repay the balance of the Emira CMBS and the balance will be used to fund the capital
expenditure noted above.
In December 2012, the Fund restructured its debt swap profile by extending and cancelling swap contracts that were at
unfavourable rates and taking out new interest-rate swap agreements at lower rates. After taking into account the
funding costs in respect of the cancellation fees paid of R28,7m, there is an estimated benefit to the Funds interest rate
costs of R4,5m per annum. The cancellation fees paid did not affect distributions.
In addition, in April 2013, swaps with a nominal value of R526m were extended by three years each, resulting in a
saving in interest costs of approximately R2m per annum.

Growthpoint Australia Limited (GOZ):  In place of the cash distribution for the six months to 31 December 2012,
Emira elected to receive 943 242 GOZ stapled securities at a price of AUD 2,18, in terms of GOZs distribution reinvestment
plan.  Emiras investment in GOZ continues to appreciate as a result of an increase in the unit price as well as the
depreciation of the rand.  At 30 June 2013, GOZs unit price as quoted on the ASX was AUD 2,40, resulting in Emiras
investment, of 24 784 036 units, being valued at R537,1m (2012 - R418,5m).

Property management: During the period, it was decided to put the Funds property management contract out to tender.
Certain national property managers, including the current property manager - Eris Property Group (Eris) - were
requested to submit tenders. After evaluating the submissions, it was decided to award the management of the Funds office and
industrial properties, as well as Wonderpark Shopping Centre to Eris, and the balance of the retail properties, equating
to 26% of the portfolio by GLA and 47% by number of tenants, to Broll Property Group with effect from 1 January 2013.
Cost savings achieved as a result of the tender are expected to provide meaningful benefits to PI holders.  

Results 
Contractual escalations on the bulk of the portfolio, significant reduction in vacancies during the period and stringent cost 
control, which includes savings from the property management tender, have resulted in the Fund achieving an
increase in distributable income during the period.
Excluding the straight-lining adjustments in respect of future rental escalations, revenue rose by 7,5% over the
comparable period. This was positively impacted by the leasing of vacant space, acquisitions and redevelopments in excess of R700m,
organic growth from the existing portfolio and increased recoveries of municipal expenses, offset by disposals.
Property expenses increased by 6,4% over the previous comparable period, being successfully contained below revenue
growth. Excluding the significant increase in municipal costs and leasing expenses, the balance of property expenses actually reduced,
assisted by the re-negotiation of the property management contract mentioned above.
Income from the Funds listed investment in Australia increased by 8,4% due to an increase in the distribution per
unit received from GOZ, the depreciation of the rand against the Australian dollar, as well as increased units being held
as a result of the re-investment of the December 2012 distribution.
Net finance costs rose by 28,5% to R236,9m as a result of the incremental drawdown of R247,8m of the Funds available debt
facilities for the significant capital expenditure and redevelopments noted above, while the average interest rate payable declined from 9,3%
to 8,7% following the debt facility and interest-rate swap restructuring, as well as the decline in lending rates.
Net asset value increased by 14,9% from 1153 cents per PI (1196 cents excluding the deferred tax provision) to 1325
cents per PI (1328 cents) at 30 June 2013 following the revaluation of investment properties, the reversal of the
provision for deferred capital gains tax, of R200,7m as a result of Emira becoming a REIT with effect from 1 July 2013, the unrealised gain
on the revaluation of the investment in GOZ and the unrealised surplus on the revaluation of interest rate swap
contracts.

Directorate
Mr Gerhard van Zyl has been appointed to the board of STREM, subject to the approval of the Financial Services Board.

REIT status
Emira has been awarded REIT status by the JSE Limited, with effect from 1 July 2013.

Prospects
PI holders are expected to gain from the substantial decline in vacancies, the successful management of property
expenses and the renegotiation of certain interest-rate swap contracts. The STREM Board believes that these benefits,
together with the contractual escalations on the bulk of the portfolio, will, based on current expectations, result in real 
distribution growth in the coming year. The forecast financial information on which this statement has been based has not been 
reviewed or reported on by the Funds auditors.

Independent review
The financial information has been reviewed by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. whose unqualified review conclusion is
available for inspection at Emiras registered address.  The distribution statement was not reviewed.

Income distribution declaration
Notice is hereby given that a final cash distribution of 58,90 cents (2012: 56,87 cents) per participatory interest
has been declared, payable to participatory interest holders on 16 September 2013.  The source of the distribution
comprises net income from property rentals, income earned from the Funds listed property investment and interest earned on
cash on deposit.  Please refer to the statement of comprehensive income for further details.  The distribution is not
regarded as a dividend and therefore no dividend withholding tax is payable on the distribution amount.

Last day to trade cum distribution                       Friday, 6 September 2013

Basis of preparation and accounting policies
The condensed consolidated preliminary financial statements of Emira Property Fund (Emira or the Fund) have been
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) including IAS 34, and are in compliance
with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited.  The accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial
statements are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012.

As a result of the amendment to the service charge arrangements, in terms of IFRS, the risk and rewards of the manager
of Emira, Strategic Real Estate Managers (Pty) Limited (STREM) are deemed to be attributable to Emira. The financial
statements of STREM have therefore been consolidated with those of Emira, even though Emira has no direct or indirect
shareholding in STREM.  This report was compiled under the supervision of Peter Thurling CA(SA), the Chief Financial
Officer.
