*   Distributions consist of debenture interest paid (prior to the conversion to a
    share only capital structure) and dividends declared. Prior to the conversion
    of the capital structure debenture interest was calculated on the capital at a
    variable rate equal to 99.9% of the net profit of the company before taxation,
    but after adjusting for extraordinary income and expenditure, capital gains and
    losses, and capital expenditure.
    
**  Headline earnings have been presented in accordance with IAS 33. In the prior
    year in terms of the linked unit structure of the group every shareholder was a
    debenture holder, coupled with the terms of the Debenture Trust Deed which
    stated that 99.9% of profits are attributable to debenture holders, resulting
    in the benefits of improved trading which would be ordinarily attributable to
    shareholders being expensed in the statements of comprehensive income as a
    fair value adjustment to debentures and debenture interest. This resulted in no
    profit being attributable to ordinary shareholders.
    
*** In the prior year linked unit debentures were included in the net asset value
    and net tangible asset value calculation.

COMMENTARY
INTRODUCTION
Fairvest is a property investment holding company and Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), with a unique focus on
retail assets weighted toward non-metropolitan and rural shopping centres, as well as convenience and community
shopping centres servicing the lower LSM market, in high-growth nodes, close to commuter networks. The Fairvest
property portfolio consists of 34 properties, with 139 247m2 of lettable area and valued at R1 361.8 million.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE
To align the company's capital structure with the REIT standard in South Africa and to comply with JSE Listings
Requirements for REITs, Fairvest converted its linked unit capital structure into an all share capital structure 
within the scheme of arrangement framework provided for in terms of section 114 of the Companies Act. 
The implementation date of the scheme was 22 June 2015 resulting in a R978.2 million increase in 
retained earnings.

CAPITAL RAISING ACTIVITIES
Shareholders are referred to the company's SENS announcement dated 16 April 2015, regarding the placement of
71 802 000 new ordinary linked units which were issued through a vendor consideration placement at an issue price
of R1.91 per linked unit, raising R137.1 million of new equity.

REVIEW OF RESULTS
The Fairvest board of directors are pleased to announce a final dividend distribution of 7.679 cents per share for
the six months ended 30 June 2015, bringing the total combined distribution for the year to 15.106 cents per share,
which is a 10.1% increase from the previous year and exceeding our guidance previously issued of between 9% and
10% growth in distribution.

Revenue for the year ended 30 June 2015 increased by 26.2% to R187.9 million as a result of income growth in the
historic portfolio as well as the acquisitions during the past two years. Net profit from property operations 
increased by 22.4% to R122.2 million, while administration expenses were contained to a 20.2% increase to R12.1 million,
resulting in distributable earnings increasing by 42.7% to R85.2 million. Gross property expenses as a ratio of revenue
increased slightly from 35.5% to 36.8%, almost entirely as a result of the increases in rates and taxes and electricity.
Cost containment within the portfolio assisted to partially offset the increases in utilities as indicated in the net
property expense ratio (expenses net of utility recoveries) which decreased from 17.7% in the previous financial year
to 17.3%.

Gross rentals across the portfolio trended upwards, with a 6.4% increase in the weighted average rental to
R91.85/m2 at 30 June 2015 compared to R86.4/m2 at 30 June 2014. At 30 June 2015 the weighted average contractual
escalation for the portfolio increased from 7.2% to 7.4%. The relatively low contractual escalation percentage is
mainly as a result of the high national tenant component of 78.5% of the portfolio, which provides shareholders
with a low risk investment profile.

PROPERTY PORTFOLIO
The total property portfolio increased from R1 109.1 million in June 2014 to R1 361.8 million. The increase is as a
result of the acquisition during the year to the value of R139.5 million, as well as the historic portfolio 
increasing by 10.5% relative to the previous year. The average value per property increased by 15.6% to 
R40.1 million, while average value per square meter increased by 10.7% to R9 780/m(2).

In line with the accounting policy of the group, a third of the portfolio was valued by independent external 
valuers. Of the 34 properties 14 were valued by DDP Valuers and the remainder by management. All properties need to
be valued by external valuers at least every three years. The properties are valued using a five-year discounted
cash flows. Assumptions are made on the discount rates used to determine the present value of the cash flows.
Assumptions are also made on the capitalisation rate on an assumed sale after 5 years. The weighted average
discount rate used was 14.9% and weighted average capitalisation rate used was 10.0%.

Acquisitions
Shareholders are referred to the company's various SENS announcements, regarding certain acquisitions by the
company. Six new properties were acquired during the year, of which three transferred during the current financial
year and three transferred after year-end.

Disposals
During the year under review the company disposed of the vacant Gingindlovu property for R5.0 million.

Redevelopments and upgrades
Nyanga Junction
The redevelopment project at Nyanga Junction was substantially completed during the year, with the creation of
a food court, enhancing the offering to our shoppers and improving the quality of tenants further. As a result 
of the redevelopment we increased the GLA at the property by 323m2, with all of the new premises created being let. 
The property is a prime example of Fairvest's value creation abilities, with the property value increasing from 
R58.0 million at acquisition in May 2013 to R104.7 million at 30 June 2015, on the back of capital expenditure 
of R15.4 million.

The Palms
A redevelopment was undertaken at The Palms office building during the period to improve the lettability of the
building as the vacancy levels at this building have been in excess of 40% over the last few years. Subsequent to
the commencement of the redevelopment the majority of the vacant space was let, with only 36m2 being vacant at
30 June 2015, which has subsequently been let.

A – Anchor and national tenants
B – Franchise, professional and large tenants
C – Other

Vacancies reduced from 7.0% to 4.4% or 6 058m2 during the period under review, mainly as a result of some positive
letting during the period and the sale of the vacant Gingindlovu property. New leases were concluded on 2 372m2
of the vacant space prior to the period end will only commence after 30 June 2015 and will reduce the vacancy
percentage further to 2.6%.

was also positive with a 4.85% escalation achieved on the 21 731m2 of leases that were renewed during the year,
however, by excluding the renewal of the 9 559m2 at The Hub, where the renewal rental was escalated by 2.6% to
enable us to renew for a further five years, the expiry rental increased by 6.6%. Tenant retention for the year was
81.0%, a slight decrease from 2014 of 81.7%.

There was a strong focus on arrears management in light of the tough economic conditions that prevailed. Arrears
were successfully reduced to 1.9% of revenue.

BORROWINGS
The interest-bearing debt to asset ratio remains conservative at 19.0%. The targeted gearing levels are between 35%
and 40%, which was achieved after the transfer of the Sibilo, Middestad Mall and Mega Park asset in August 2015.
Expected gearing levels after the conclusion of the acquisitions will be 34.2%. As at 30 June 2015, 73.2% of the debt
was fixed, with the intention of maintaining this percentage at 70% or above.

The weighted average all-in cost of funding increased from 8.66% at 30 June 2014 to 9.02% at 30 June 2015. The
increase is as a result of an increase in the fixed debt component. The weighted average maturity of debt decreased
slightly from 34 months to 31 months.

PROSPECTS
With an upward interest rate cycle, disproportionate increases in operating expenses that are outside our control and
lacklustre economic growth, we anticipate that tough trading conditions will continue into the year ahead. Despite
the economic outlook, the benefit of improved occupancies, together with the most recent property acquisitions
and ongoing cost control, should allow for continued strong growth in distributions. Management is confident that
we should be able to maintain the distribution growth of between 9% and 10% for the 2016 financial year. We will
remain conservatively geared and sufficiently hedged to minimise the impact of the anticipated rise in interest rates.
We will continue to look for yield-enhancing acquisitions and developments that are in line with our strategy.

This view assumes that there being no material deterioration in the macroeconomic environment relative to current
levels, no major corporate failures will occur and tenants will be able to absorb increases in municipal and utility 
costs. Forecast rental income is based on contractual lease terms and anticipated market-related renewals. 
This forecast is the responsibility of the board of Fairvest and has not been reviewed or reported on by 
the auditors.

DIVIDENDS
The board has approved and declared a final gross dividend of 7.679 cents per share for the six-month period ended
30 June 2015 from fixed income reserves, payable to shareholders registered as such at the close of business on
Friday, 9 October 2015.

Last date to trade shares cum dividend              Friday, 2 October 2015
Shares commence trading ex dividend                 Monday, 5 October 2015
Record date                                         Friday, 9 October 2015
Payment date                                       Monday, 12 October 2015

Shares may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Monday, 5 October 2015 and Friday, 9 October 2015,
both days inclusive.

In accordance with Fairvest's status as a REIT, shareholders are advised that the dividend meets the requirements
of a "qualifying distribution" for the purposes of section 25BB of the Income Tax Act, 58 of 1962 ("Income Tax
Act"). The distribution on the shares will be deemed to be a dividend, for South African tax purposes, in terms of
section 25BB of the Income Tax Act. Accordingly, qualifying distributions received by local tax residents must be
included in the gross income of such shareholders (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 shareholder.
These qualifying distributions are, however, exempt from dividend withholding tax in the hands of South African tax
resident shareholders, provided that the South African resident shareholders have provided the following forms to
their Central Securities Depository Participant ("CSDP") or broker, as the case may be, in respect of uncertificated
shares, or the Transfer Secretaries, in respect of certificated shares:
(a) a declaration that the dividend is exempt from dividends tax; and
(b) a written undertaking to inform the CSDP, broker or the transfer secretaries, as the case may be,
both in the form prescribed by the Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service. Shareholders 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 dividend, if such documents have not already been submitted.

Qualifying distributions received by non-resident shareholders 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. 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 shareholder. Assuming dividend
withholding tax will be withheld at a rate of 15%, the net amount due to non-resident shareholders will be 6.52715
cents per share. A reduced dividend withholding tax rate in terms of the applicable DTA, may only be relied on if the
non-resident shareholder has provided the following forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, in respect of
the uncertificated shares, or the transfer secretaries, in respect of certificated shares:
(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 shareholders
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 dividend if such documents have not already
been submitted, if applicable.
Local tax resident shareholders as well as non-resident shareholders are encouraged to consult their professional
advisors should they be in any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.
Shares in issue at the date of declaration of the final dividend: 599 438 276
Income tax reference number 9205/066/06/1
