Basis of preparation and accounting policies

The interim results of the Fund have been prepared on the historic cost
basis, except for financial instruments and investment properties which
are carried at fair value, in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS), as well as the SAICA Financial Reporting
Guides, and the Financial Reporting Pronouncements, International
Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34) and the requirements of the Collective
Investment Schemes Control Act of 2002. The non-permissible income is
dispensed to the Oasis Crescent Fund Trust which is a registered public
benefit organisation. The accounting policies are consistent with those
applied in the most recent annual financial statements of the Fund, which
should be read in conjunction with this report. The interim financial
statements have been prepared under the revised disclosure requirements of
IAS 34. The Fund’s external auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. has
reviewed the financial information set out in this report. Their
unqualified review report is available for inspection at the Fund’s
registered office. These abridged reviewed results were compiled by Mr.
Johan Henning CA(SA).

Fair value estimation of investments

Effective 1 January 2009, the Fund adopted the amendment to IFRS 7 for
financial instruments that are measured in the statement of financial
position at fair value which requires disclosure of fair value
measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierachy:
- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities (level 1).
- Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as
prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable
market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The information below analyses financial assets and financial liabilities,
which are carried at fair value, by level of hierarchy as required by IFRS
7 and IFRS 13.

The following table presents the Fund’s financial assets that are measured
at fair value at 30 September 2013:

The fair value of financial liabilities approximates their fair value due
to the short term nature of the instruments.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- Level 1: Quoted closing market prices at financial position date..
- Level 2: Valuation techniques using observable market data in the form
of quoted market prices on the Irish Stock Exchange and prices determined
by the Management company for those financial instruments. Instruments
quoted on the Irish Stock Exchange are not considered to fall within level
1 because it is not considered an active market where instruments can be
traded.
- Level 3: Instruments not included in Level 1 or Level 2 above.

There have been no significant transfers between level 1, 2 or 3 during
the period under review, nor were there any significant changes to the
valuation techniques and inputs used to determine fair values.

The operational results of the Fund is not affected by seasonal or
cyclical fluctuations.

Office Properties

The office component of the portfolio remains fully let.

Industrial Properties

Your Fund continues to successfully implement the strategy to refurbish
and reposition the industrial properties. This is in-line with the Fund’s
policy of ensuring that all assets are maintained in an excellent
condition, meeting the requirements of world class tenants. There is
currently a major refurbishment taking place at the Moorsom Avenue
property, in preparation for the commencement of a 10 year lease with a
national furniture manufacturer and retailer. This period of refurbishment
has a short term impact on earnings for this cycle. The new lease
commences on 1 November 2013 and will enhance shareholder value. We have
completed the refurbishment of both Nourse Avenue and Sacks Circle. Nourse
Avenue is fully let and we are in final negotiations with a national
logistics tenant for Sacks Circle.

Retail Properties

There is continued progress in implementing the strategy at The Ridge @
Shallcross to provide shoppers with a superior experience. The Centre
offers this with its safety, convenience, and cleanliness. We have
completed the expansion of Checkers, the anchor tenant of The Ridge @
Shallcross, enabling the tenant to offer a new generation Checkers Hyper
of over 7,500 square meters. We are currently engaged in extending the
parking capacity at the Centre and building a drive-through restaurant for
McDonalds.   This will be a unique drawcard for the Centre as it will be
the only location in the area where this sought after global brand is
available. These material investments into the Centre by high quality
tenants have been made as a result of strong growth by the Centre and its
growing popularity, and further increase the appeal of the Centre by
broadening the offering that is available.

Footfall has increased by 28.5% from 2008; and footfall has increased by
8.3% for the 6 months to 30 September, year on year.

Tenant turnover has increased by 64% from 2008; most notable increases
were 14% and 18% in the last two completed financial years.

With the expansions and additions to The Ridge we anticipate continued
growth in the number of shoppers visiting The Ridge. This in turn will
continue to attract quality tenants and sustain the overall performance of
The Ridge. This is borne out by the substantial drop in vacancies and high
occurrence of renewals.

At Protea Assurance House in St. George’s Mall we have signed a long term
lease with KFC, and the fit-out of this new store has commenced.   This
will be an excellent addition to the tenant mix of this property.

Global Investment
Your fund has the benefit of exposure to a global portfolio with an
excellent track record, which provides it with a competitive advantage. It
is well balanced in terms of geographic and sectoral exposure and has a
high exposure to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS) that are positioned
to benefit from secular demand drivers and superior balance sheets. Global
REIT income yields remain attractive relative to bond and cash yields and
the global property component of the portfolio continues to take advantage
of these opportunities.

The Fund has 34.4% of its portfolio invested in global investments of
R241.5 million (September 2012: R178.0 million).

Outlook

These positive developments are in line with our efforts to protect and
enhance the assets in the Fund’s portfolio and the Fund’s objective to
provide unitholders with consistent and high quality performance from the
Fund. The South African property environment is reacting with volatility
to external factors. Your Fund has maintained consistent performance
throughout this cycle based on the fundamentals of the Fund. We have
focused on enhancing the value of the assets within our portfolio which
has resulted in material growth in the Net Asset Value, and we will
continue with this process.   We have identified attractive development
opportunities which will provide us with the ability to grow the portfolio
through the development of high quality properties for national and
international brands. At period end the Fund was trading at an 18.9%
discount to NAV on an ex dividend basis, representing an excellent
investment opportunity. Any reference to the future financial performance
of the Fund included in this announcement has not been reviewed or
reported on by the Fund’s auditors.

Tax Implications of the Distribution

In respect of the unit distribution (and concomitant income distribution),
the manager hereby advises unit holders, who will receive the unit
distribution, that for taxation purposes, Oasis is a REIT as defined in
the Income Tax Act as from 01 April 2013 and, accordingly, the tax
implications of the distribution have changed as from that date.         In
accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of the Income Tax Act, Oasis
is a South African resident company and a REIT and as such any unit
distribution   (and  concomitant   income  distribution)   is  a   dividend
distribution as envisaged in accordance with the provisions of the Income
Tax Act.     If you are a South African resident taxpayer the unit
distribution (and concomitant income distribution) will, however, not be
exempt from tax in terms of section 10(1)(k) of the Income Tax Act.

Accordingly the provisions of Dividend Tax will not be applicable to South
African resident taxpayers and the unit distribution (and concomitant
income distribution) will be included in such taxpayers’ gross income for
any given period.

Should the unit distribution (and concomitant income distribution) be made
to a non-South African resident taxpayer, it shall be regarded as an
ordinary dividend payment and will be exempt from income tax in terms of
section 10(1)(k). Further, in terms of section 64F(2) this payment is also
exempt from Dividend Tax until 31 December 2013. Any dividend from a REIT
received by or accrued to non-resident taxpayers from 1 January 2014 will
be subject to Dividends Tax at a rate of 15%, unless the unit holder has,
on the form prescribed by Oasis, confirmed that a lower rate of tax or no
tax is applicable. The Dividends Tax is a final tax and will be withheld
by Oasis on distribution made on or after 1 January 2014.

The Income Tax Act sections applicable to the distributions made are as
follows:

  - Property income distribution – section 10(1)(k) and section 64F.

Unit holders both South African resident and non-resident taxpayers are
encouraged to consult their professional tax advisors with regard to their
individual tax liability in this regard.

A circular will be posted to unitholders on or about 21 October 2013 in
respect of the income and unit distribution.
