Commentary

Introduction

Attacq is a leading South African capital growth property company listed on the JSE. Attacq's business has two focus areas: Investments 
and Developments. Investments comprise completed buildings held directly and indirectly. Developments comprise land, greenfields 
development of land or brownfields development by refurbishment of existing buildings. Investments provide stable income and balance 
sheet strength to responsibly secure and fund high-growth opportunities within Developments. Attacq has a total asset value in excess of 
R18 billion, including landmark commercial and retail property assets and developments. Its portfolio of properties is geographically 
diverse across South Africa and includes a growing representation of international investments in sub-Saharan Africa and exposure 
to property investments in Germany, Switzerland and the United Kingdom via a strategic stake in MAS Real Estate Inc. ("MAS").

Attacq listed on the JSE in the "Real Estate - Real Estate Holdings and Development" sector on 14 October 2013.

Restatement

It is the Group's policy to account for investment properties at fair value under IAS 40: Investment Properties. Via its subsidiary, 
Attacq Waterfall Investment Company (Pty) Ltd ("AWIC"), Attacq accounted for the rental obligations arising as a result of its leasehold 
rights in respect of Waterfall as a finance lease under IAS 17: Leases, taking estimates of all expected lease payments into account. 
During the current year, following detailed advice received, it was concluded that the rental obligations taken into account in the 
determination of the finance lease liability were contingent in nature and that the finance lease liability previously raised should be 
de-recognised. However, in applying the requirements of IFRS 13: Fair Value Measurement, investment properties should be carried at the 
fair value determined with reference to an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market 
conditions. The investment properties should be carried at their net values after taking into account AWIC's future rental obligations 
arising from its leasehold rights in respect of Waterfall. 

Despite the cumulative impact of the restatement on the 2013 net asset value ("NAV") being only R20.1 million lower (4.5 cents per 
share), a restatement was required in terms of IAS 8: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors because there are 
material adjustments to individual line items of the statement of financial position. The net impact of the restatement was a decrease in 
investment properties of R574.1 million in 2013 (2012: R501.4 million) with a corresponding decrease in the finance lease liability. 
Deferred tax liabilities increased by R23.7 million in 2013 (2012: R16.9 million) with a corresponding decrease in distributable reserves.

Net asset value per share ("NAVPS")

NAVPS at 30 June 2014 was R14.77, 24.0% higher than the prior year NAVPS of R11.91 (restated).

Capital raised

Attacq raised a total of R2.9 billion in cash from shareholders during the current financial year in order to fund developments, make 
investments and reduce debt:

- R580 million by way of a non-renounceable rights offer prior to listing at R11.50 per share which closed 24 July 2013;

- R800 million by way of a private placement at listing at R14.50 per share; 

- R512 million by way of a general issue of shares for cash on 5 February 2014 at R17.65 per share; and

- R1 billion in terms of a vendor placement undertaken on 25 February 2014 at R17.65 per share, in order to fund Attacq's R1.3 billion 
  investment in the MAS private placement which closed on 11 March 2014.

Acquisitions

Non-controlling interests

During the year, Attacq acquired the non-controlling interest in Attacq Retail Fund (Pty) Ltd ("ARF") (previously Abacus Holdings (Pty) 
Ltd) by issuing 12.1 million Attacq shares at R11.63 per share. The transaction was entered into prior to listing and the shares issued 
subsequent to listing when the market price of an Attacq share was R16.50 per share. This resulted in an IFRS 2: Share-based Payment  
charge of R59.2 million being recognised in operating and other expenses in the current year.

During December 2013, Attacq became the sole shareholder of Mantrablox (Pty) Ltd, the owner of Garden Route Mall, by exercising its call 
option to acquire the 20% shareholding owned by Hyprop Investments Limited ("Hyprop") for an amount of R21.4 million and settling the 
related shareholder loan of R117.6 million.

Shareholding increase in AWIC

Attacq acquired an additional interest of 1.2% in AWIC from Trinsam Trust, a discretionary family trust of which MC Wilken is a 
beneficiary. The acquisition price was partly settled by the issue of new Attacq shares at an issue price of R11.96 (being the NAVPS as 
at 30 June 2013 prior to restatement), totalling R13.5 million. An agterskot amount of R11.6 million, escalating at the prime interest 
rate, is payable on the occurrence of certain events relating to a change in control occurring in Attacq or MC Wilken ceasing to be a 
director of Attacq. Should MC Wilken still be a director of Attacq in 2020, the agterskot amount will be calculated in terms of a 
formula.

Internalisation of asset management function

Attacq internalised its asset management function as part of its listing by acquiring the entire issued share capital of Attacq 
Management Services (Pty) Ltd ("AMS") (previously Atterbury Asset Managers (Pty) Ltd) from Atterbury Property Holdings (Pty) Ltd (an 
associate of Attacq) and Attventure (Pty) Ltd. The objectives of the internalisation are to conform to market practice, to create 
synergies between Attacq and the asset manager and to remove any potential conflicts of interest between Attacq and the asset manager. 
The purchase consideration of R271.1 million was settled by way of a cash payment of R135.5 million and by the issue of 11.3 million new 
Attacq shares issued on 4 October 2013 at the

30 June 2013 NAVPS prior to restatement. 

Investment in African Land Investments Limited ("ALI")

Attacq acquired a 12.4% stake in ALI on 5 December 2013 for an amount of R110 million. Hyprop acquired 87% of ALI as part of the same 
transaction. ALI owns the 43 400m2 Manda Hill Mall in Lusaka, Zambia. The mall is currently fully let with a strong retail offering. An 
expansion of 10 000m2 is planned in the future. 

Brooklyn Bridge Office Park

Attacq increased its shareholding in Brooklyn Bridge Office Park (Pty) Ltd ("Brooklyn Bridge") from 25% to 100% on 11 March 2014, 
following the receipt of the competition authorities' approval to implement the transaction. The transaction was entered into prior to 
listing and the purchase consideration was settled by way of R60.3 million in cash and the balance of R56.3 million by the issue of 4.9 
million Attacq shares issued at an issue price of R11.53 per share, being the NAVPS as at 31 March 2013 when the commercial terms of the 
transaction were agreed. The related shareholder loan of R29.6 million was settled simultaneously.

Additional investment in MAS

Attacq invested R1.3 billion in the MAS private placement which closed on 11 March 2014, enabling it to maintain its stake of 47.2% in 
the enlarged issued share capital of MAS. MAS will utilise the cash in order to fast track its development pipeline as well as to 
acquire additional income producing assets. MAS' intention is to have 90% of its portfolio invested in income producing assets by the 
end of 2016 and the remaining 10% in developments. MAS has a pipeline under exclusivity into which it will invest its capital raising 
proceeds. However, it will experience some cash drag on its performance until all the proceeds are fully deployed.

Restructure of Retail Africa Consortium Holdings (Pty) Ltd ("Reach")

Prior to year end, the underlying investments of Reach were unbundled to its shareholders, resulting in Attacq holding direct stakes in 
Retail Africa Wingspan Investments (Pty) Ltd ("Wingspan") and Rapfund Holdings (Pty) Ltd ("Rapfund") of 34.4% and 26.6%, respectively. 
The Rapfund stake was disposed of subsequent to year end and is reflected as a non-current asset held for sale as at 30 June 2014.

Business combinations

An intangible asset representing the right to the asset management of Attacq's properties has been recognised in respect of the AMS 
acquisition and is amortised over a period of 15 years. 

A gain on bargain purchase was recognised on the acquisition of Brooklyn Bridge. Attacq has measured identifiable assets and liabilities 
of AMS and Brooklyn Bridge at fair value at their respective acquisition dates as follows:

Disposals

Attacq concluded the following disposals during the current financial year:       

- 100% of the issued share capital of Atterbury Parkdev Consortium (Pty) Ltd, owner of Harlequins Office Park, to Delta Property Fund 
  Limited ("Delta") for a total consideration of R136 million settled by the payment of R95.2 million in cash and 4.9 million Delta units 
  totalling R40.8 million, which units were subsequently sold for a total of R44 million; 

- A 50% undivided share in Sanridge Square to Rapfund for an amount of R102 million on 20 August 2013; 

- A 26.3% shareholding in the issued share capital and loan notes of Artisan Investment Projects 10 Limited, the owner of the New Waverley 
  (previously Caltongate) development in Edinburgh, in return for 3.1 million shares in MAS, effective on 19 August 2013 and increasing 
  Attacq's shareholding in MAS to 23.9% at the time;

- Atterbury House, sold to Ascension Properties Limited for an amount of R341 million on 6 September 2013;

- The merged Karoo I and II investments to MAS in return for 32 million MAS shares, effective on 20 December 2013, increasing Attacq's 
  shareholding in MAS to 47.2%; and      

- 100% of the issued share capital of De Ville Shopping Centre (Pty) Ltd, owner of the De Ville shopping centre in Durbanville, Cape Town, 
  to Tower Property Fund Limited. The shopping centre was valued at R226 million on the disposal date.

Profit before taxation

Net rental income

Net rental income increased by 55.4% year-on-year due to a 39.5% increase in revenue (including straight-line lease adjustments) with 
the increase in property expenses being lower at 8.4%. A like-for-like comparison of net rental income is of limited use due to the 
internalisation of the asset management function as well as a result of changes in the property portfolio during the year. Four 
properties were disposed of, one property was acquired and a further five properties under development were completed.

Vacancies

Overall portfolio vacancies have decreased by 10 626m2 primarily as a result of the sale of Atterbury House, Sanridge Square and De 
Ville shopping centre during the year. Office vacancies have improved as a percentage of the total office portfolio due to these 
disposals as well as due to the completion of Group 5, Cell C Campus and two of the office developments in Maxwell Office Park, 
resulting in a net increase in the size of the office portfolio gross lettable area ("GLA").

  held for sale at June 2013, was not sold and is no longer held for sale at June 2014 with a refurbishment currently underway.        

Operating and other expenses

Operating expenses include a loss of R68.1 million realised on the disposal of Attacq's investment in the merged Karoo I and Karoo II 
funds in return for a further 23.4% stake in MAS. Attacq will share in any realised upside on the Karoo assets directly by way of an 
agterskot mechanism and indirectly via its increased shareholding in MAS. Operating expenses in the current year include impairments of 
loans of R46.8 million and IFRS 2: Share-based Payment charges of R66.2 million. R59.2 million of this relates to the acquisition of a 
non-controlling interest in ARF and the balance of R7.0 million in respect of senior executive management's share options.

Fair value adjustments

Fair value adjustments on investment properties increased by 17.5% to R919.1 million, made up of R325.4 million (2013: R419.2 million) 
in respect of completed properties, R560.1 million (2013: R108.0 million) in respect of properties under development and R33.6 million 
(2013: R254.9 million) on vacant land.

Fair value increases in respect of completed properties relate mainly to the increase in contracted rentals, with market capitalisation 
rates remaining largely unchanged from the prior year.

Property valuations as at 30 June 2014 are based on external valuations performed by Jones Lang LaSalle (Pty) Ltd, Old Mutual Investment 
Group (South Africa) (Pty) Ltd, Mills Fitchet KZN CC and Broll Valuation & Advisory Services (Pty) Ltd.

The valuation in respect of Waterfall's vacant land is based on an external valuation performed on a freehold basis. This valuation is 
then adjusted by management in order to value the land on a leasehold basis by taking into account the future rental obligations 
attached to the land.

Investment income

Investment income in 2014 includes dividends of R356.2 million and interest income of R68.6 million. R325.8 million of the dividends are 
of a once-off nature resulting from the unbundling of the underlying investments held by Attacq via certain of its investments in 
associates. The impairments recognised on these associate investments from the unbundlings resulted in a net loss being reflected in 
respect of associates.

Finance costs

Finance costs increased by 45.4% year-on-year. This includes a non-cash non-recurring amount of R123.6 million arising from the 
transaction concluded between Attacq, Atterbury Investment Managers (Pty) Ltd and Razorbill Properties 91 (Pty) Ltd (a wholly owned 
subsidiary of Attacq) as more fully detailed in Attacq's listing prospectus and as approved by shareholders at the general meeting held 
on 27 August 2013. Excluding this amount, the increase is 14.5% and is driven largely by the completion of development properties during 
the year, resulting in the related finance costs being expensed and no longer capitalised to the property under development.

Development property

In the current financial year, a number of properties under development were completed, adding a total of 87 991m2 GLA to Waterfall's 
completed buildings.

Borrowings

Total net interest-bearing borrowings increased by 13.8% from 2013 with additional debt being incurred to fund Attacq's growing property 
portfolio in accordance with its capital growth model.

Gearing, calculated as total net external interest-bearing debt (including debt on non-current assets held for sale) less cash on hand 
to total assets, improved from 43.2% as at 30 June 2013 (restated) to 34.0% as at 30 June 2014. Given the interest rate cycle the 
economy is entering, hedges are in place and 58.3% of total external interest-bearing debt was fixed as at 30 June 2014 (2013: 52.1%). 
This excludes forward hedges of R2.7 billion in respect of unutilised committed facilities. The weighted average cost of funding as at 
30 June 2014 was 9.5% (2013: 9.1%).

Atterbury Africa

Attacq's investment in Atterbury Africa Limited ("Atterbury Africa") increased from R112.3 million to R248.2 million during the year in 
order to fund its share of Atterbury Africa's underlying development pipeline. At 30 June 2014, Atterbury Africa's underlying assets 
were as follows:

Change in directors

Wilhelm Nauta, previously an alternate director, was appointed to the board from 30 April 2014, following the resignation of Lucas Ndala 
effective the same date. Francois van Niekerk, one of the founders of the business that led to the creation of Attacq, retired from the 
board with effect from 27 June 2014. 

Subsequent events

Restructure of ALI

Subsequent to year end, Attacq and Hyprop restructured 50% of Manda Hill Mall under Atterbury Africa, with the remaining 50% being held 
directly by Hyprop. The management teams of ALI and Atterbury Africa were merged and Atterbury Africa was rebranded as Att Africa.

Disposal of Rapfund

In July 2014, Attacq sold its shareholding in Rapfund to a consortium of existing and new Rapfund shareholders for an amount of R139 
million. 

Potential major new Waterfall tenant

Post year end, in principle approval was received by Attacq to develop new office premises for PricewaterhouseCoopers. The proposed 40 
000m2 building in Waterfall City will accommodate some 3 500 employees. The conclusion of a formal lease remains subject to conditions 
precedent. 

Prospects

In South Africa, Attacq's main focus remains on the delivery of Waterfall and the efficient management of its operational portfolio. At 
year end, Waterfall's secured pipeline of projects planned or underway totalled 296 493m2 and 79% of the total developable bulk of 1.75 
million m2 remains untapped. In Africa, Att Africa will soon be invested in three operational malls, being Accra Mall, Manda Hill Mall 
and West Hills Mall with two further developments underway. In Europe, Attacq increased its investment in MAS by R1.3 billion, which 
capital MAS will deploy into a secured and unsecured pipeline as well as to advance its development projects, with construction on New 
Waverley to commence post year end. 

Basis of presentation of summarised provisional consolidated financial statements

These summarised provisional consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 have been prepared in accordance with the 
framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of IFRS and the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the 
Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council, and include 
disclosure as required by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, the JSE Listings Requirements and the Companies Act of South Africa. They 
do not include all the information required for a complete set of International Financial Reporting Standards financial statements. 
However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the 
changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 
30 June 2014. In preparing these summarised provisional consolidated financial statements, management makes judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. 
Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The areas that include significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and key sources of 
estimation uncertainty were the same as those that were identified in the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 
30 June 2013.

Significant accounting policies

Except as described below, the accounting policies applied in these summarised provisional consolidated financial statements are the 
same as those applied in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2013. 

Changes in accounting policies

The Group has adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards, including any consequential amendments to other 
standards, with a date of initial application of 1 July 2013:

        IFRS 10:         Consolidated Financial Statements

        IFRS 11:         Joint Arrangements

        IFRS 12:         Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

        IFRS 13:         Fair Value Measurement

        IAS 19:          Employee Benefits

IFRS 10: Consolidated Financial Statements

IFRS 10 addresses the divergence arising from the control-based principles in IAS 27 and the risks and rewards based approach in SIC 12, 
and in addition, provides greater guidance on de facto control. Management has reassessed the control conclusion for each of its 
investees at 1 July 2013. No changes were identified and the adoption of this new standard has thus had no impact on the financial 
results.

IFRS 11: Joint Arrangements

IFRS 11 identifies two types of joint arrangements, namely joint operations and joint ventures, and prohibits the use of proportionate 
consolidation for joint ventures. Management has re-evaluated the Group's involvement in the various joint arrangements and no changes 
in the accounting treatments were identified.

IFRS 12: Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities

IFRS 12 requires additional disclosure about the investees in which the entity has an investment. The disclosure in the financial 
statements was updated for these additional requirements.


IFRS 13: Fair Value Measurement

IFRS 13 is a single cohesive standard consolidating the principles of fair value measurement and disclosures for financial reporting. 
Fair value measurements of a non-financial asset will take into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by 
using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and 
best use. In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 13, the Group has applied the new fair value measurement guidance 
prospectively. Notwithstanding the above, the change had no significant impact on the measurements of the Group's assets and 
liabilities.

IAS 19: Employee Benefits

The revised IAS 19 changes the accounting for defined benefit plans and termination benefits. The most significant change relates to the 
accounting for changes in defined benefit obligations and plan assets. The adoption of the changes to this statement has had no impact 
on the results of the Group as previously reported. 

The accounting policies of the Group were updated for the impact of the above standards. 

Audit report

The auditors, Deloitte & Touche, have issued their opinion on the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 
2014. The audit was conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. They have issued an unmodified opinion. A copy of 
the auditor's report together with a copy of the audited consolidated financial statements is available at the company's registered 
office. 

These summarised provisional consolidated financial statements have been derived from the Group's consolidated financial statements and 
are consistent in all material respects with the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014, but is not 
itself audited. The directors take full responsibility for the preparation of these summarised provisional consolidated financial 
results and confirm that the financial information has been correctly extracted from the underlying audited consolidated financial 
statements. Any reference to future financial information included in this announcement has not been reviewed or reported on by the 
auditors. Shareholders are 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 audited consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2014 from the Company's 
registered office.

The preparation of the financial information was supervised by Melt Hamman CA (SA), Financial Director of Attacq.
