(APPROVED AS A REIT BY THE JSE)

PRELIMINARY SUMMARISED AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
1 NATURE OF BUSINESS
Fortress is an internally asset managed REIT with a capital structure
consisting of separately listed A and B linked units. Listed as a hybrid
fund in 2009, Fortress has holdings of direct property investments and
listed real estate securities. These securities comprise both local listed
REITs and offshore-based listed property companies. The direct property
portfolio of 97 investment properties has the following sectoral split:
88,8% retail, 9,3% industrial, 1,4% residential and 0,5% office, based on
property value.

The investment portfolio by valuation is as follows:
Direct property assets                             R6,6 billion (52,4%)
Listed property securities: Offshore-based
  property companies                               R4,3 billion (34,1%)
Listed property securities: Local REITs            R1,7 billion (13,5%)

2 CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Fortress’ A linked units have preferential entitlements to income
distributions and to capital participation in the event of winding up,
while the residual distributable income and capital participation accrue
to the B linked units. From the December 2014 interim reporting period,
the growth on the A linked unit distribution will be the lower of CPI and
5%. The CPI figure that will be used in the calculation is the most recent
available at each reporting period.

The conversion of the company’s linked unit capital structure to an all
share structure is anticipated to be finalised by the end of the next
interim reporting period.

3 DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS
Total distributions for the year ended June 2014 increased by 14,36% to
160,90 cents. The distribution attributable to the A linked units was
117,62 cents (a 5% increase) with 43,28 cents attributable to the B linked
units (a 50,9% increase).

The distributable income attributable to the A linked units for the six
months ended June 2014 was 58,81 cents (a 5% increase) with 24,39 cents
attributable to the B linked units (a 60,2% increase).

The direct properties generally performed ahead of budget and R5,2 million
of unbudgeted turnover rental was received in 2014. The investments in
listed property securities, both local and offshore, performed well. New
Europe Property Investments plc (“Nepi”) and Rockcastle Global Real Estate
Company Limited (“Rockcastle”) experienced good growth in distributions in
their respective currencies and Fortress further benefited from the
depreciation of the Rand.

Fortress earned once-off fees of R7,5 million from the underwriting of the
Tower Property Fund listing on the JSE and R61 million for the early
termination of Fortress’ BEE structure in Amber Peek Investments
Proprietary Limited (“Amber Peek”). Both amounts were included in
distributable income. This income was however offset by interest rate cap
premiums of R80,6 million that were expensed.

4 STRATEGIC DIRECTION
Fortress’ focus is investment in retail properties, in particular centres
close to transport nodes with high footfalls. The company will continue to
reduce its investment in industrial properties as well as in the remaining
0,5% exposure to offices. In addition to acquisitions, Fortress will
expand and redevelop its existing centres to accommodate tenant demand.
Where opportunities arise, Fortress will increase its investments in
listed property companies, particularly those with hard currency exposure.

5 PROPERTY DISPOSALS
All the property disposals reported on in the 2013 integrated report and
the 2014 interim results announcement were transferred. In addition, the
following properties were disposed of after the 2014 interim reporting
period.

6 PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
The properties acquired as set out in the 2013 integrated report and the
2014 interim results announcement were all transferred.

7 PROPERTY EXTENSIONS AND REFURBISHMENTS
Biyela Shopping Centre Construction commenced on phase two of the
redevelopment of this centre in May 2014. An expanded scope of works
costing R29 million and yielding 9,5% will be completed in September 2014.

Evaton Mall The enclosure and expansion of Evaton Mall was completed in
November 2013 to create a 36 000m2 regional mall anchored by Edgars, Game,
Pick n Pay and Shoprite. The expansion of the mall was completed on budget
and yields 9%. Tenants report strong trading conditions and an agreement
has been concluded for the acquisition of additional land adjacent to the
mall to accommodate further tenant demand.

Flamwood Walk (50% interest) The expansion and redevelopment of this
24 000m2 neighbourhood shopping centre is progressing well with opening
scheduled for October 2014. The centre is anchored by Checkers and Game
and includes Dis-Chem, Fruit & Veg City and HiFi Corp as tenants.
Fortress’ 50% is expected to yield 8,2% on the cost of R154 million.

Secunda Square Residential The conversion of the vacant offices into 87
residential units commenced in May 2014 at a budgeted cost of R43,3
million. These units are projected to yield 9% on completion in November
2014. Secunda is experiencing a shortage of quality accommodation and this
is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

Shoprite Kokstad The centre is being extended and redeveloped at a cost of
R30,4 million and at a projected yield of 9%. The tenant profile has been
strengthened by additional national tenants and the Shoprite store has
been expanded by 771m2. Shoprite has entered into a new 10-year lease.

8 VACANCIES
Vacancies decreased to 4,5% at June 2014. Fortress reported vacancies of
4,9% at June 2013, which increased to 5,5% at December 2013 following the
acquisition of a 25% interest in The Galleria and Arbour Crossing.

Of the current vacancies, 9 211m² was the result of planned vacancies at
Secunda Square Residential, Biyela Shopping Centre, Vryheid Plaza and
Central Park Bloemfontein, all of which are undergoing redevelopments or
are about to commence works. Fortress also disposed of the vacant 484
Kyalami Boulevard after year-end.

The planned vacancies and the disposal of 484 Kyalami Boulevard
represented 1,8% of the total vacancies of 4,5%.

*Rockcastle was treated as an associate (equity accounted) and was thus
not fair valued at June 2014 in the financial statements.

The board’s policy is to hedge up to 50% of Fortress’ foreign currency
exposure to equity investments (Nepi and Rockcastle). At June 2014, USD82
million (18,3%) was hedged at an average rate of R10,59.

10 FACILITIES AND INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES
Fortress renewed and extended its expiring facilities with RMB and
Standard Bank during the year. The R1 128 million of three-year facilities
with RMB expire in the 2017 financial year. The Standard Bank facilities
total R1 400 million and comprise three-year (R1 200 million) and five-
year (R200 million) facilities. Fortress also accepted a new five-year
facility from Nedbank for R240 million. Fortress’ R2 billion unsecured
domestic medium term note (“DMTN”) programme received an improved rating
of A (long term) and A1 (short term) in April 2014. A total of R1 620
million has been issued under the programme and it is the board’s
intention to utilise 50% unsecured funding. The interest-bearing debt to
asset ratio decreased from 29,9% at December 2013 to 22,9% at June 2014
following the rights issue of R1 billion in June 2014. The board’s target
total interest-bearing debt to asset ratio range is 30% to 35%.

At June 2014, 105,1% of Fortress’ interest rate exposure (inclusive of
contracted capital commitments) was hedged.

The all-in weighted average cost of funding of Fortress was 8,41% at June
2014 and the average hedge term was 4,8 years.

The information contained in notes 1, 10 and the “Property operations”
section of note 11 has been compiled using proportionate consolidation.
This results in Fortress accounting for its share of the assets and
liabilities of joint ventures (Arbour Crossing, The Galleria and Mthatha
Residential).

12 BROAD-BASED BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
Following repeated representations, particularly from the Thohoyandou
shareholders, Fortress agreed to the early termination of the Amber Peek
BBBEE initiative in April 2014. The shareholders of Amber Peek are
Aquarella Investments 553 Proprietary Limited (26%), Celtic Rose
Investments 10 Proprietary Limited (26%) and The Siyakha 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. Fortress’ consent was conditional on an early termination
fee of R61 million, being 10% of the proceeds.

13 PROSPECTS
The board is confident that Fortress will achieve overall growth in
distributions of approximately 12% for the 2015 financial year. The
forecast assumes exchange rates of R14,00 and R10,20 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 Fortress’ auditors.

NOTES
1 PREPARATION, ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND AUDIT OPINION
The summarised audited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited Listings
Requirements for preliminary reports and the requirements of the Companies
Act of South Africa applicable to summary financial statements. The JSE
Listings Requirements require preliminary reports to be prepared in
accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition
requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the
SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices
Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial
Reporting Standards Council, and to also, as a minimum, contain the
information required by IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The
accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements, from which the summarised consolidated financial
statements were derived, are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with the
accounting policies applied in the preparation of the previous
consolidated financial statements, with the exception of the adoption of
new and revised standards which became effective during the year. The
restatement of the comparative information for June 2013 is the result of
the adoption of IFRS11 Joint Arrangements which resulted in Fortress
accounting for its investment in Mthatha Residential on an equity
accounted method as opposed to proportionately consolidating it.

This report was compiled under the supervision of Wiko Serfontein CA(SA),
the financial director.

The directors are not aware of any matters or circumstances arising
subsequent to June 2014 that require any additional disclosure or
adjustment to the financial statements.

The auditors, Deloitte & Touche, have issued their opinion on the group’s
financial statements for the year ended June 2014. The audit was conducted
in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. They have issued
an unmodified audit opinion. These preliminary summarised consolidated
financial statements have been derived from the group financial statements
and are consistent, in all material respects, with the group financial
statements. A copy of their audit report is available for inspection at
Fortress’ registered address. This preliminary report has been audited by
Deloitte & Touche and an unmodified audit opinion has been issued. The
auditor’s report does not necessarily report on all of the information
contained in this announcement. Linked unitholders are therefore advised
that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the
auditor’s engagement, they should obtain a copy of that report together
with the accompanying financial information from Fortress’ registered
