INTRODUCTION

Freedom Property Fund Limited ("Freedom" or "the Company" or "the Group") is a JSE listed holding and
development property company which operates across all primary sectors of the property industry namely
industrial, commercial and predominantly residential. The fundamental focus of Freedom is to strategically
acquire and develop prime properties thereby creating a portfolio that will generate sustainable income streams
in the future. As such the Company is ideally positioned to provide significant capital growth initially and
thereafter potentially convert to a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") structure, thereby making it a unique
asset to hold.

The first eight and a half months, up to 28 February 2015, have been an exciting period for all parties involved. It
has been a time of growth and focus on setting up the necessary management structures and systems to
manage and implement the acquired projects thus optimising value for all stakeholders.

Freedom presents its maiden reviewed condensed consolidated provisional annual financial results of the
Company and its subsidiaries (all wholly owned) for the year ending 28 February 2015 ("the financial year").

1.   FINANCIAL RESULTS

     1.1. Comparative Results
          Freedom was established specifically to acquire selected properties and list on the JSE Limited ("JSE"),
          as set-out in the pre-listing statement dated 5 June 2014 ("Pre-listing Statement"). The various
          acquisitions, being subject to listing approval, became effective at various times between 1 March 2014
          and the listing date of 12 June 2014.

     1.2. Revenues
          Total revenue (R42 779 795) is significantly up on the forecast (R28 300 682) per the Supplementary
          Circular issued on 5 June 2014. This is mainly due to higher than forecast sales of development
          properties (stock of serviced stands).
 
          In preparing the projections for the year ending 28 February 2015, management's immediate outlook
          for revenues from sales of properties was not high as it was expected that marketing initiatives would
          take some time to implement. The forecast revenues for sales of development properties of R8 483
          922 for the year have to date been exceeded significantly with sales totalling R23 720 295 during the
          period.
 
          Whilst investment property revenue is down slightly on forecast, management is confident that the
          expanded facilities at Steelpoort Industrial will add to the revenue base of the group in the coming year.
          As highlighted below (see Operations - Para 2.1), Freedom has developed a further 6 306m² of
          revenue generating industrial facilities at Steelpoort Industrial and will continue to do so as demand
          requires.
 
          The following table provides a comparison of actual revenues generated by Freedom and the forecast
          for the financial year (as set out in Annexure 1 of the supplementary circular dated 5 June 2014). The
          
                                                   Actual for the   Forecast for the   
                                                 12 months ending   12 months ending   
                                                 28 February 2015   28 February 2015   
          Revenue – Investment Property Income         19 059 500         19 816 760   
          Revenue   –   Development   Property         23 720 295          8 483 922   
          Sales                                                                        
          Cost of Sales                               (9 413 880)        (2 899 479)   
          Gross Profit                                 33 365 915         25 401 203   

          acquisition of Kadoma was effective from 1 March 2014, providing the majority of the Company's
          income and contributing a full 12 month's revenues reflected in the revenues to 28 February 2015.

     1.3. Headline Earnings
          In the interim results for the period ended 31 August 2014 ("Interim Results"), Freedom reported
          achieving approximately 50%, (being R5 020 515), of the 12 month forecast of headline earnings. We
          are pleased to report that at 28 February 2015 the Group had achieved earnings ahead of its maiden
          forecast and continues to strive to meet forecasts to ensure that Freedom continues on the growth path
          outlined in the Group's strategy.

     1.4. Expenses
          As disclosed in our Interim Results listing expenses and costs relating to the establishment of Freedom
          were higher than expected. These were non-recurring costs and all accrued during the interim period.
          Furthermore, the operations of Steelpoort Industrial were only fully incorporated into Freedom post
          listing and management could only implement cost saving measures subsequent to this. With the
          expenses being above anticipated levels, management has initiated processes to contain costs going
          forward.

     1.5. Net Asset Value ("NAV")
          The NAV at 28 February 2015 was 130.45 cents, an increase of 6.06% on the value per the Interim
          Results. While gearing has grown on the Statement of Financial Position of the Company (see
          Borrowings – para 4), the majority of this funding is being applied to develop Freedom's assets and
          unlock value for stakeholders in terms of Freedom's strategy as a capital growth fund.

     1.6. Dividends
          Freedom will continue with its stated policy of retaining generated cash, which will be applied to
          developing the various properties owned by Freedom to ensure capital growth and create shareholder
          value. The dividend policy will be reviewed on a continual basis in line with Freedom's strategy of
          applying available resources to develop property assets to be held for leasing.

2.   OPERATIONS

     Freedom has made substantial progress in its operations, thus enabling management to confidently continue
     to implement the strategies and growth plans in line with the Company's broad short to medium term goals of
     successfully unlocking value for Freedom's stakeholders. In terms of the strategy outlined in the Pre-listing

     Statement for the year ending 28 February 2015, all projects have either already commenced or
     development plans committed to.
     
     The following paragraphs detail progress on key projects identified by Freedom to ensure its strategic
     objectives of income generation and capital growth are sustainable and achieved.
     
     2.1. Steelpoort Industrial
          Steelpoort is a mining town in Limpopo Province's platinum belt experiencing rapid development with a
          number of new mines being established, making it prime industrial land to own. The scepticism that
          surrounds investing in the mining areas, due to the events that unfolded in Rustenburg, is justifiably
          allayed when considering that the mining dynamics of Steelpoort are of a different nature. Mining in this
          area is highly mechanised and has a primary focus on platinum and chrome production. The number of
          mines which have opened in the area over the past two to five year period are testament to the fact that
          it is a growing area and is to be recognised as an area in which to invest.
     
          Freedom has, to date, made the following progress at Steelpoort Industrial:
                                                                                                                  2
          -  We have developed a further six industrial units, providing in excess of a further 6 306m
             gross lettable area ("GLA"). The next two units are set to be completed by 31 May 2015 and
             are expected to be fully tenanted by that time as well;
          -  Freedom has, in answer to market demand, re-sized the units from large units to Midi units
             thus enabling the units to be tenanted immediately;
          -  Ancillary services have been provided, ensuring that tenants are satisfied and as a result
             entering into long term leases, ensuring a steady income stream; and
          -  Certain units have been expanded. An example is unit 1195, for which an additional 400m² of
             warehousing facility was created at a rental price of R65/m². This equates to an increased
             monthly rental of R26 000 from this unit.
     
          The current rental income ranges between R65/m² and R95/m² with corporate tenants such as Sasol,
          Weir Minerals and North Safety. Pieterse, Du Toit and Associates have prepared reports for
          submission to council on re-zoning the remaining 6 hectares for light industrial warehousing purposes.
                                                                  2
          This will allow for the construction of a further 36 000m of industrial warehousing. Due to the delays at
          council it is now anticipated that this development will commence in September 2015, which only
          delays the project by two months, and will be completed towards the end of 2018. The cost of
          construction for this phase is anticipated to total R240 million and the expected rental income
          generated by Steelpoort Industrial will increase by a projected R34 million per annum.

     2.2. Tweefontein Residential
          Tweefontein Residential Estate is the residential component of the land owned by the Company in
          Steelpoort. Tweefontein Residential will provide Freedom in excess of 4 000 residential development
          opportunities in the low to mid income market. Pieterse, Du Toit and Associates have initiated the
          higher density re-zoning application. This development is now planned in 12 phases and is still
          expected to be completed by 2020.
            
          The demand for residential units is currently between 15 000 and 20 000 units and continually
          expanding due to new mines opening in the area. A major mining group operating in the area has
          expressed an interest in taking up 2 000 opportunities immediately on completion. The demand by the
      
          existing mines in the area has far exceeded the supply as is currently evidenced by ongoing enquiries
          received. This demand will be further underpinned by the new mines to be established in the area.
      
          The agreement with Samancor, whose operations border Freedom's residential land, supports our
          residential development, which inevitably makes this land highly valuable and sought after.
          Furthermore there are no land claims registered against this property.
     
     2.3. Montana (La Bonne Vie)
          The proposed 90 sectional title residential opportunities of one, two and three bedroom units in
          Montana, Pretoria are highly accessible and adjacent to the well-known Kolonnade Shopping Centre
          and the Zambesi Country Estate. The 3 phase construction plan has been initiated with:

          -  Phase 1 comprising of 22 units expected to be completed by December 2015 and is estimated
             to generate annual rental income of R1 329 600;
          -  Phase 2 comprising of 31 units is expected to be completed by July 2016 and is estimated to
             generate annual rental income of R1 586 400; and
          -  Phase 3 comprising of 37 units is expected to be completed by April 2016 and is estimated to
             generate annual rental income of R1 932 000.
      
             The project development cost is R35 million and will yield in excess of 12% per annum.

     2.4. Langebaan
          The Langebaan Beach Resort, located in Langebaan in the Western Cape, is a mixed use
                                            2                                   2
          development consisting of 312 022m of zoned residential land, 426 982m of un-zoned residential
          land, 8,063m2 of land zoned for commercial use and 21 688m2 for institutional use.
      
          Freedom's proposed development in Langebaan which borders on Saldanha, is extremely exciting for
          Freedom as Transnet has plans to spend R10 billion on the expansion of the harbour at Saldanha. This
          has led to several development opportunities in the commercial and residential sector. In phase 1 of its
          development, Freedom plans to develop 7 000m² of commercial space and negotiations have
          commenced with high profile tenants who have a national footprint.
      
          The development will commence on the successful conclusion of lease agreements.
     
     2.5. Miami Village
          The Miami Village, situated adjacent to Shelley Point in the St Helena Bay area in the Western Cape
          Province, is made up of 261 opportunities, consisting of 164 full title serviced stands and 97 sectional,
          bulk serviced stands.

          -  To date, in excess of 130 sale agreements have been entered into. Total revenues accounted
             for in this period are approximately R14 190 000 and cost of sales amounted to R5 030 690.
          -  Significantly high market demand indicates that the balance of stands held will, in line with
             Freedom's strategy to maintain competitive disposal values, be sold in the short term.

     2.6. Gevonden
          Gevonden comprises of 43 residential units in the medium level segment. It borders the urban edge in
          Stellenbosch, making it the last section of land in this very popular Western Cape town that can be
          developed.

          Stellenbosch has not been heavily affected by the economic crisis, as property development has
          continued at a very steady pace over the past few years. The demand can mainly be attributed to the
          steady population growth experienced in Stellenbosch and the rest of the Western Cape since 2010.

          Bordering the very successful Welgevonden Estate Development on the eastern boundary, our survey
          shows that the demand significantly exceeds supply. We are in final stages of concluding a
          development agreement with a local, successful developer, in which he undertakes to fully develop the
          land at his cost. This includes external as well as internal services after which top structures will be
          constructed. Once these units have been completed, Freedom and the developer will split the units
          according to input cost, leaving Freedom with an amount of ungeared, very popular rentable units. An
          option will also be made available for Freedom to acquire more of these units from the developer at a
          reasonable market price, as determined by an independent valuer.

          With the demand being high on most of Freedom's development land, we are continuously
          investigating innovative financing methods in order to proceed at a much faster pace than traditional
          institutional finance normally allows. Good progress has been made in this regard and we anticipate
          initiating more of the developments on this basis.

3.   PROSPECTS & STRATEGY

     The period, since listing on 12 June 2014 to 28 February 2015, has proven to be a challenging one. When
     one considers Freedom's strategic objectives, liquidity in trading of Freedom shares increased significantly,
     albeit that the share traded at a large discount to its NAV. This was a result of shareholders realising their
     opportunity for creating liquidity through trading of Freedom shares.

     This has been further compounded by the markets incorrect assessment of the valuation of Freedom. This is
     apparent from the current market capitalisation of the fund which infers that the valuation is derived from the
     income producing assets and completely discounting the significant portfolio of remaining assets which were
     acquired by Freedom for development. It is management's view that this will change as projects are
     successfully delivered.

     On the positive side new investors have realized the opportunity to invest at the discounted levels, resulting
     in an expanding investor base.

     In line with Freedom's strategy of organic growth by unlocking the potential of its existing pipeline and
     creating further shareholder value, Freedom will also aggressively pursue transactions of an acquisitive
     nature.

     Freedom is well positioned to operate in the low to mid-tier income sector due to its strategic land
     acquisitions. In providing specific rental units, Freedom's vision is to address problems currently facing the

     South African market, such as lack of a supply as well as delivery to this specific income range and at the
     same time, to grow the Company's income producing assets.

     Freedom therefore reiterates its strategic objectives, which have been formulated with the goal of unlocking
     and creating further shareholder value:

     -  To capitalise on the largely ungeared value in the Freedom property portfolio by securing
        reasonably priced debt funding which will be utilised to develop a substantial portfolio of
        income generating assets. The Company's gearing relative to the net value of its property
        portfolio, is less than 10% (assuming the borrowings outlined in para 4 below are fully drawn
        down).
     -  To provide shareholders with an opportunity to participate in significant capital growth
        opportunities, as opposed to investing in the REIT, property loan stock and property unit trust
        markets, which tend to focus on income distribution rather than capital growth.
     -  Harnessing the extensive experience of Freedom's management team, as well as having
        access to the skills, expertise and market knowledge of selected vendors who hold a
        shareholding in Freedom, pursuant to the acquisition agreements in respect of the acquired
        properties, and who accordingly have a vested interest in developing the Freedom projects.
     -  To provide shareholders the prospect of participating in a diverse portfolio of assets, with a
        strong weighting in residential properties, which are forecast to generate significant rental
        incomes as access for investors to the residential property industry in South Africa is limited.

4.   BORROWINGS

     Freedom has secured facilities with Nedbank Limited ("Nedbank") to provide term funding to Kadoma
     totalling R88 million, subject to agreed drawdowns and completion of units. These term facilities will be
     applied to the Steelpoort Industrial expansion and further development within the Group, including
     Tweefontein Residential (see Operations – para 2.2). The gearing within the Group, once the new term
     facilities are in place and fully drawn down, will total R120 million (granted by Nedbank). The Nedbank
     facilities are secured by first mortgage bonds over the developed Steelpoort Industrial properties and a
     surety provided by Freedom. Additional borrowings to the tune of R2 100 000 have been incurred for the
     purposes of expanding one stand at Steelpoort Industrial Park. This will generate an approximate initial
     additional R100 000 in monthly rental revenue through a 60 month lease agreement being entered into.

5.   CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

     The board is fully committed to the principles of the Code of Corporate Practices and Conduct as set out in
     King III. The board acknowledges its responsibility in ensuring that the Company acts with integrity and
     fairness. As such they are continually monitoring and investigating methods of improving systems and
     controls in order to ensure that stakeholder opportunities are maximised.

6.   HEALTH & SAFETY

     Across all aspects of operations Freedom strives to adhere to the standards of best practice and upholds
     health and safety as one of our highest values. This includes the health and safety policies and procedures
     set forth to ensure and maintain the welfare of all employees and development contractors. We are delighted
     to report another consecutive period without injuries.

7.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     There have been no material events subsequent to 28 February 2015 to report. In the normal course of
     business, a number of the stands for which sale agreements have been concluded at Miami Village, have
     now been transferred after various delays outside of Freedom's control. This will be reflected in the Group's
     revenue stream in the next financial period.

8.   CHANGES TO THE BOARD

     Mr Richard Eaton has resigned as the chief financial officer and the financial director of the Company with
     effect from 17 October 2014. Mr Jan Francois (Franky) Pretorius was appointed as the new chief financial
     officer and financial director, with effect from the same date.

9.   BASIS OF PREPARATION

     The condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2015 have been prepared
     in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements for provisional reports and the
     requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. The Listings Requirements require provisional reports to
     be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts, 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 also, as a minimum requirement, contain the information required by IAS 34 Interim
     Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated
     financial statements are in terms of IFRS. The directors take full responsibility for the preparation of the
     provisional condensed consolidated results.

     These provisional condensed results have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for
     investment properties and certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. The fair value of
     investment properties are determined with reference to the external valuations dated 28 February 2015,
     prepared by the independent property valuer appointed to value the properties owned by the group.

     These provisional condensed results were prepared under the supervision of JF Pretorius, in his capacity as
     the Chief Financial Officer of the Group.

10.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accounting policies applied by the Group are consistent with those applied in the comparative financial
     periods, except for the adoption of improved, revised or new standards and interpretations. The aggregate
     effect of these changes in respect of the year ended 28 February 2015 is Rnil.

11.  AUDITORS

     The provisional condensed consolidated results of Freedom Property Fund Limited for the year ended 28
     February 2015 have been reviewed by the Company's auditors, RSM Betty & Dickson (Johannesburg), and

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED SEGMENT REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2015

The Group has two reportable segments, as described below. The segments offer different types of revenue
income and are managed separately to enable the Group to adequately monitor the various risk profiles. For
each of these segments, the Group's chief executive officer reviews internal management reports on a monthly
basis. The following summary describes each of the Group's reportable segments:

Other operations include the Group's administrative and finance costs. None of these segments meets any of the
quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments in the current year. Information regarding the results
of each reportable segment is included below. No segment results are disclosed for the prior period as the Group
