Commentary
The board of directors of Strategic Real Estate Managers (Pty) Ltd (“STREM”) is pleased to announce an interim
distribution of 59,31 cents per Emira participatory interest (PI) for the six months to 31 December 2013, representing an
increase of 6,5% on the previous comparable period.
Vacancies and tenant renewals: Vacancies decreased from 5,6% at June 2013 to 5,1% at December 2013, which represents a
decline in vacancies of 7 407m2, driven by substantial leasing in all sectors.
Major new leases concluded include: Five-year leases at Cochrane Avenue (5 870m²), 7 Naivasha Road
(4 673m²), and Lake Buena Vista (3 500m²).
Major renewals concluded: Defy Appliances (10 100m²), Taylor Blinds (7 794m²), Shoprite Checkers at Quagga Centre (5 715m²)
and Pick n Pay at Quagga Centre (4 878m²).
Disposals: The strategy to dispose of non-core buildings continued during the period under review. Four properties
totalling R119,0m, which had been sold but not yet transferred at 30 June 2013 - Georgian Place, 261 Surrey Avenue,
Fleetway House and Montana Value Centre - were transferred out of Emira during the period. Worldwear Fashion Mall and Lynnridge
Mall, have been sold unconditionally, although they have not yet been transferred out of the Fund, bringing the value of total
sales during the period to R328,8m.
Acquisitions and developments: Subsequent to the previous financial 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 R157,9m.
Acquisitions during the period comprised: (i) an industrial building of 7 533m² leased to Lithotech in Airport
Industria, Cape Town for R34,5m, transfer of which took place in February 2014 and (ii) a vacant stand in the N4 Gateway
Industrial Park for R12,4m on which a modern industrial facility of 9 371m² is to be developed at a total cost of R57,4m.
Transfer took place in January 2014.
Refurbishments and extensions: Several projects totalling approximately R545,5m are underway, the most significant of
which includes a major upgrade and extension to Wonderpark Shopping Centre, where the centre is being enlarged at a cost
of R 513m, from 63 000m² to 90 000 m² to accommodate existing national tenants including Game, Woolworths, Jet and Edgars
and the introduction of new anchor tenants including Checkers, Dis-Chem, Hi Fi Corp, PQ Clothing, Cotton On and The Hub.
Repurchases of Participatory Interests (“PI”s): The Board previously approved the implementation of a PI repurchase
programme which was confirmed by PI holders at the AGM in November 2013. 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.
In September 2013, the Fund purchased 4 876 300 PIs at a total cost of R68,1m.
The Fund will continue to repurchase PIs at prices considered beneficial to PI holders.
Gearing: Emira continued to take advantage of the lower rates of funding available in the debt capital markets.
Funding activities during the period included:
Date Amount All-in-rate
R’m
22 August 2013 Repayment of three-month commercial paper 400m 5,3%
22 August 2013 Issue of six-month commercial paper 399m 5,8%
22 August 2013 Issue of three-month commercial paper 100m 5,3%
13 September 2013 Issue of twelve-month commercial paper 230m 5,9%
7 November 2013 Roll over of twelve-month commercial paper 450m 5,9%
20 November 2013 Repayment of three-month commercial paper 100m 5,3%
20 November 2013 Issue of twelve-month commercial paper 100m 5,9%
In order to increase the fixed component of debt to 75% of total borrowings, subsidised swaps of R250m were entered
into in December 2013 commencing in July 2014, October 2014 and January 2015, at an average all-in rate of 7,12%.
Simultaneously, an existing swap of R200m was restructured, reducing the rate payable from 8,70% to 7,65%. This equates to a
saving of R2,1m per annum for Emira.
Growthpoint Australia Limited (“GOZ”): Emira participated in the rights issue held by GOZ in December 2013, taking up
an additional 2 441 777 units at AUD 2,45 per unit at a cost of R56,9m.
At December 2013 GOZ’s unit price as quoted on the ASX was AUD 2,47 resulting in Emira’s investment of 27 225 813
units, amounting to 5,7% of the units in issue, being valued at R626,3m.
Results
Contractual escalations on the bulk of the portfolio combined with significant leasing progress and stringent cost control,
including 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 6,8% over the
comparable period. This was positively impacted by the leasing of vacant space, acquisitions and organic growth from the
existing portfolio and increased recoveries of municipal expenses, offset by disposals.
Property expenses increased by 12,4% over the previous comparable period, mainly due to increases in municipal costs,
leasing expenses and refurbishment costs. Excluding these items, the balance of property expenses actually declined.
Income from the Fund’s listed investment in Australia increased by 17,5% due to an increase in the distribution per
unit received from GOZ, the depreciation of the rand against the Australian dollar and increased units being held as a
result of the Fund following its rights in respect of a rights issue held in December 2013. Excluding income received in
respect of the rights issue and the reinvestment of the December 2012 distribution, the increase amounted to 13,2%.
Net finance costs incurred were similar to those incurred in the previous period as a result of the utilisation of the
debt capital markets at reduced margins and the interest rate swap restructuring which took place during the period.
Net asset value increased by 2,5% from 1325 cents per PI at 30 June 2013, to 1358 cents per PI at 31 December 2013,
following the revaluation of investment properties and the investment in GOZ.

Directorate
The appointment of Mr Gerhard van Zyl to the Board of STREM, was approved by the Financial Services Board on
10 September 2013.
REIT status
Emira was awarded REIT status by the JSE, with effect from 1 July 2013.
Prospects
Notwithstanding relatively subdued economic growth, a continued focus on letting space and tenant retention, as well
as vigilant cost control, has yielded benefits to Emira PI holders. It is expected that the increase in distributions
payable in respect of the full financial year, will be similar to that achieved in the first half of the year.
The forecast financial information on which this statement has been based has not been reviewed or reported on by the
Fund’s auditors.
Income distribution declaration
Notice is hereby given that an interim cash distribution of 59,31 cents (2012: 55,69 cents) per participatory interest
has been declared, payable to participatory interest holders on 17 March 2014. The source of the distribution comprises
net income from property rentals, income earned from the Fund’s listed property investment and interest earned on cash
on deposit. Please refer to the statement of comprehensive income for further details.
Last day to trade cum distribution Friday, 7 March 2014
Participatory interests trade ex distribution Monday, 10 March 2014
Record date Friday, 14 March 2014
Payment date Monday, 17 March 2014
PI certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Monday, 10 March 2014 and Friday, 14 March 2014,
both days inclusive.
In accordance with Emira’s status as a REIT, participatory interest (PI) holders 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 participatory interest holders (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 PI holder.
These qualifying distributions are, however, exempt from dividend withholding tax in the hands of South African tax resident
participatory interest holders, provided that the South African resident participatory interest holders have provided
the following forms to their Central Securities Depository Participant (“CSDP”) or broker, as the case may be, in respect
of uncertificated PIs, or the Transfer Secretaries, in respect of certificated PIs:
a) a declaration that the distribution is exempt from dividends tax; and
b) a written undertaking to inform the CSDP, broker or the Transfer Secretaries, 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. Participatory interest holders are advised to contact
their CSDP, broker or the Transfer Secretaries, 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 participatory interest holders 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 PI holder. Assuming dividend withholding tax will be withheld at a rate of 15%, the net amount due to non-resident
participatory interest holders will be 50,4135 cents per participatory interest. A reduced dividend withholding tax rate in
terms of the applicable DTA, may only be relied on if the non-resident PI holder has provided the following forms to
their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, in respect of the uncertificated PIs, or the Transfer Secretaries, in respect of
certificated PIs:
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 Transfer Secretaries, 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 participatory interest holders are
advised to contact their CSDP, broker or the Transfer Secretaries, 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 participatory interest holders as well as non-resident participatory interest holders are
encouraged to consult their professional advisors should they be in any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.

Basis of preparation and accounting policies
The condensed consolidated interim 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 2013.
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.
