Resilient Property Income Fund Limited
Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa
Reg no 2002/016851/06
JSE share code RES ISIN ZAE000043642
(“Resilient” or “the group”)
(Approved as a REIT by the JSE)
CONDENSED REVIEWED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013
DIRECTORS’ COMMENTARY
1 NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
Resilient is an internally asset managed property company listed on the
JSE Limited. Its strategy is to invest in dominant regional retail centres
with a minimum of three anchor tenants and let predominantly to national
retailers. It further invests in offshore property related assets.
2 DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS AND COMMENTARY ON RESULTS
Resilient benefited from the strong performance of both its property
portfolio and listed holdings. Offshore holdings, where dividends are
received in Euro and US Dollar, again benefited from a decline in the Rand
exchange rate. Resilient declared a distribution of 159,59 cents per
linked unit for the interim period ended December 2013, an increase of
18,3% over the previous comparable six month period.
Turnover rental of R21,2 million was received against a budget of R12,8
million supporting management’s view that rentals in the property
portfolio, on average, are below market. Historically, over 90% of
turnover rentals are received during the July to December period.
Resilient’s comparable retail sales for the period July to December grew
by 8,1% which compare favourably with national retail sales growth. The
sales growth per province is set out below:
North West (0,1%)
Eastern Cape 2,8%
KwaZulu-Natal 4,1%
Limpopo 8,4%
Gauteng 8,9%
Mpumalanga 12,6%
Northern Cape 18,9%
The performance of North West province reflects the current challenges of
gold and platinum mining. The Eastern Cape continues to be negatively
affected by the major redevelopment and extension of Circus Triangle
Mthatha. KwaZulu-Natal was positively impacted by a strong performance at
The Galleria but negatively impacted by Murchison Mall which is also
undergoing extensive redevelopment and refurbishment. Sales at The
Galleria increased by 10,4% but the effect on Resilient’s figures was
minimal as only a 10% holding was taken into account for comparative
purposes. Northern Cape continues to benefit from past extensions and
improvement to the tenant profile at Village Mall Kathu.
3 PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
Resilient increased its stake in The Galleria and Arbour Crossing from 10%
to 75% at a cost of R1 391 million and a yield of 8% effective from 17
October 2013. At 30 June 2013 The Galleria (an 88 443m2 GLA mall) and
Arbour Crossing (a 39 786m2 GLA value centre) had vacancies of 13,3% and
8,7% respectively. Both properties require additional capital expenditure
and management time to improve the vacancies and tenant offering. A number
of new developments (including a 16 000m2 Makro) have been constructed in
the node which now has the necessary mass to compete effectively.
4 PROPERTY DEVELOPMENTS
Secunda Mall
The mall opened on schedule in October 2013 and achieved its budgeted
yield of 9%. Retailers reported trading figures well ahead of their
projections. The mall has a GLA of 56 800m2 and is anchored by Checkers
Hypermarket, Edgars, Game, Pick n Pay and Woolworths and includes all
major national clothing retailers. Resilient has a 40% interest in this
mall with Sasol Pension Fund and local consortiums owning 40% and 20%
respectively.
Soshanguve Crossing
This 34 000m2 GLA mall will be anchored by Game, Edgars, Shoprite and Spar.
Resilient has a 55% interest in this development which is budgeted to
achieve a yield of 8% on Resilient’s cost of R259 million. Following
labour unrest at the construction company, opening of the mall has been
delayed by a month to May 2014.
5 PROPERTY EXTENSIONS
Circus Triangle Mthatha
The second and third phase extensions to this mall to accommodate Edgars
and Game and the expansion of Foschini, Shoprite, Truworths and Woolworths
are on schedule for completion in October 2014 at a cost of R170 million.
The extensions are projected to achieve an 8% return.
The Grove
The 11 600m2 GLA extension to The Grove to accommodate Ster Kinekor (eight
screens), an ice rink and a family entertainment centre has opened and
yields 6%. Although some new tenants will only commence trading in
February 2014, the footcount has increased by over 20% which bodes well
for the future. An additional 10 000m2 of retail rights were approved by
the authorities in December 2013.
Jabulani Mall
The 2 350m2 GLA extension to Jabulani Mall to accommodate Food Lovers
Market and Shoprite Liquor opened in November 2013 and the projected yield
of 11% was achieved.
Northam Plaza
The 8 100m2 GLA extension to Northam Plaza to accommodate Game opened on
schedule and within budget at a yield of 8% in October 2013.
Rivonia Village
The 2 200m2 GLA extension to accommodate Checkers and Checkers Liquor
opened in November 2013. Excluding the income from an additional 64
parking bays, the yield was 7%.
Village Mall Kathu
The 7 300m2 GLA extension to accommodate Game and additional national
retailers opened in September 2013 within budget at the forecast yield of
8%.
The board is evaluating five major tenant-driven extensions. At the same
time the extensions will focus on improving the entertainment offerings.
6 PROPERTY DISPOSALS
The properties sold to Fortress for R1 042 million, as announced on SENS
on 22 March 2013, have transferred. The transaction had an effective date
of 1 July 2013.
7 RESILIENT AFRICA
The board has agreed to increase its capital commitment to this joint
venture for the development of properties in Nigeria to R1 billion.
Resilient has a 50,98% interest in Resilient Africa with Standard Bank and
Shoprite Checkers as its joint venture partners. In addition to the 12
819m2 GLA Delta Mall under construction in Warri, Delta State, construction
has commenced on a 12 291m2 GLA mall in Owerri, Imo State. Negotiations are
at various stages on an additional six sites with the target of commencing
construction on a further two developments by December 2014.

^Rockcastle was treated as an associate (equity accounted) and was thus
not fair valued in the financial statements at 31 December 2013.
As announced by way of SENS published on 5 April 2013, the board has in
principle agreed to the disposal of Capital’s manager, Property Fund
Managers (“PFM”), to Capital. The board of PFM considers it optimal to
implement the conversion of Capital to a corporate REIT simultaneously
with the internalisation of PFM. This transaction is subject to various
regulatory and unitholder approvals. The timing of this process is
currently uncertain and unitholders will be kept updated by SENS
announcements.
9 VACANCIES
As a result of the additional interest in The Galleria and Arbour
Crossing, vacancies increased from 1,8% at June 2013 to 2,7% at December
2013. The vacancy at The Galleria reduced from 13,3% at June 2013 to 11,8%
at December 2013 with the introduction of Cotton On and Typo. Resilient’s
target is to reduce the vacancy to 5% by June 2014.
10 FACILITIES AND INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES
A 5-year loan of R825 million was accepted from RMB. Resilient’s DMTN
programme was increased from R3 billion to R4 billion and the board’s
intention remains to finance 50% of Resilient’s borrowings on an unsecured
basis. In line with the board’s strategy, the interest-bearing debt to
asset ratio increased from 26,5% at June 2013 to 34,0% at December 2013.

#To comply with financial reporting requirements the group will account
for entities that do not form part of its operations, do not operate under
its operating policies and whose businesses, risk profiles and debt levels
are not comparable with its own. Disclosure under “Property operations”
excludes Eagle’s Eye Investments Proprietary Limited (“BEE SPV”).
On 27 June 2006 10 810 811 linked units were issued to BEE SPV and
Resilient is standing surety for the funding obligations of BEE SPV in
acquiring these units. In terms of IFRS the issue did not take place and
the essence of the transaction was that the BEE shareholders received a
right/option to acquire linked units in Resilient at a future date at a
predetermined price. As a consequence, the issue of linked units has been
eliminated in the preparation of the financial statements.
This BEE transaction matures in three equal tranches on 30 June 2014, 30
June 2015 and 30 June 2016. Due to the positive equity in this scheme and
the minimal residual risk resulting from Resilient’s surety, the board has
taken the view that the units are in issue and has therefore reversed the
effect of the option/right in the June 2013 financial statements and
deconsolidated BEE SPV.
12 BROAD-BASED BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
Following repeated representations, particulary from the Thohoyandou
shareholders, Resilient agreed to the early disposal of the Resilient
linked units held by the Amber Peek Proprietary Limited (“Amber Peek”)
BBBEE initiative in December 2013. The shareholders of Amber Peek are
Aquarella Investments 553 Proprietary Limited (26%), Celtic Rose
Investments 10 Proprietary Limited (26%) and The Resilient Education Trust
(“The Trust”) (48%). Aquarella Investments 553 Proprietary Limited is
owned by 50 black business people from Thohoyandou whilst Celtic Rose
Investments 10 Proprietary Limited is owned by nine black business people
from Johannesburg. The Trust is a charitable trust established for the
promotion of black education and is a registered public benefit
organisation. Resilient’s consent was conditional on an early termination
fee of R54,4 million, being 10% of the proceeds. The units were acquired
by The Trust with finance provided by Resilient at a price of R53,10 per
Resilient linked unit. The fee received was fully offset by the cost of
interest rate cap premiums expensed.
13 PROSPECTS
Distributions are forecast to increase by between 17% and 19% for the 2014
financial year. The forecast assumes exchange rates of R13,75 and R10,00
to the Euro and US Dollar respectively. The growth is further based on the
assumptions that a stable macro-economic environment will prevail, no
major corporate failures will occur and that tenants will be able to
absorb the recovery of rising utility costs and municipal rates. Budgeted
rental income was based on contractual escalations and market related
renewals. This forecast has not been audited or reviewed by Resilient’s
auditors.

5 PAYMENT OF INTERIM DISTRIBUTION
The board has approved and notice is hereby given of an interim
distribution (distribution no 22) of 159,59 cents per linked unit for the
six months ended 31 December 2013.
In accordance with Resilient’s status as a REIT, linked unitholders are
advised that the distribution meets the requirements of a “qualifying
distribution” for the purposes of section 25BB of the Income Tax Act, No.
58 of 1962 (“Income Tax Act”). Accordingly, qualifying distributions
received by local tax residents must be included in the gross income of
such linked unitholders (as a non-exempt dividend in terms of section
10(1)(k)(aa) of the Income Tax Act), with the effect that the qualifying
distribution is taxable as income in the hands of the linked unitholder.
These qualifying distributions are, however, exempt from dividend
withholding tax in the hands of South African tax resident linked
unitholders, provided that the South African resident linked unitholders
provided the following forms to their Central Securities Depository
Participant (“CSDP”) or broker, as the case may be, in respect of
uncertificated linked units, or the company, in respect of certificated
linked units:
a) a declaration that the distribution is exempt from dividends tax; and
b) a written undertaking to inform the CSDP, broker or the company, as
the case may be, should the circumstances affecting the exemption
change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner,
both in the form prescribed by the Commissioner for the South African
Revenue Service. Linked unitholders are advised to contact their CSDP,
broker or the company, as the case may be, to arrange for the
abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to payment of the
distribution, if such documents have not already been submitted.
Qualifying distributions received by non-resident linked unitholders will
not be taxable as income and instead will be treated as ordinary dividends
but which are exempt in terms of the usual dividend exemptions per section
10(1)(k) of the Income Tax Act. It should be noted that until 31 December
2013 qualifying distributions received by non-residents were not subject to
dividend withholding tax. From 1 January 2014, any qualifying distribution
received by a non-resident from a REIT will be subject to dividend
withholding tax at 15%, unless the rate is reduced in terms of any
applicable agreement for the avoidance of double taxation (“DTA”) between
South Africa and the country of residence of the linked unitholder.
Assuming dividend withholding tax will be withheld at a rate of 15%, the
net amount due to non-resident linked unitholders will be 135,6515 cents
per linked unit. A reduced dividend withholding tax rate in terms of the
applicable DTA, may only be relied on if the non-resident linked unitholder
has provided the following forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may
be, in respect of uncertificated linked units, or the company, in respect
of certificated linked units:
a) a declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a
result of the application of a DTA; and
b) a written undertaking to inform their CSDP, broker or the company, as
the case may be, should the circumstances affecting the reduced rate
change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner,
both in the form prescribed by the Commissioner for the South African
Revenue Service. Non-resident linked unitholders are advised to contact
their CSDP, broker or the company, as the case may be, to arrange for
the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to payment of the
distribution if such documents have not already been submitted, if
applicable.
Local tax resident linked unitholders as well as non-resident linked
unitholders are encouraged to consult their professional advisors should
they be in any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.
The distribution is payable to Resilient linked unitholders in accordance
with the timetable set out below:
Last date to trade cum distribution Friday, 21 February 2014
Units trade ex distribution Monday, 24 February 2014
Record date Friday, 28 February 2014

transferred to the CSDP accounts/broker accounts on Monday, 3 March 2014.
