issue of shares during the period for which the entity did not have full access to the cash flow from such issue.

COMMENTARY
INTRODUCTION
Rebosis is a JSE listed real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns 19 properties comprising of 4 dominant
shopping centres, 14 large office buildings let on long term leases and an industrial property.
It has a 62% interest in New Frontier (NF), which owns 2 dominant shopping centres in the UK.
Rebosis also owns 59% of Ascension Property Fund, a JSE Listed REIT.
Despite a tough domestic economic environment we are pleased to announce an exciting set of results.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Rebosis has declared a dividend of 57,95 cents per share for the six months ended 31 August 2015. With a
distribution of 52,46 cents per share for the six months ended 28 February 2015, this amounts to total distribution
of 110,41 cents for the year, an increase of 11,0%. This exceeds the 8% to 10% guidance communicated at the
half year and is based on a continuing strong performance on portfolio fundamentals as well as increased income
from acquisitions.
Property expenses were again well contained with the net cost to income ratio declining to 13,3%.
PROPERTY PORTFOLIO
At year-end assets under management were valued at R9,8 billion (2014: R7,6 billion). The value of the Rebosis
investment property portfolio was R7,0 billion (2014: R6,9 billion) while our effective 59% holding in Ascension
Properties Limited and 62% in New Frontier Properties Limited represented listed property securities of R2,7 billion
(2014: R598 million).
The investment property portfolio for Rebosis of 19 properties is illustrated in the following graphs in terms of
sectoral and geographical splits.
SECTORAL BY VALUE
Retail: 43%
Office: 55%
Industrial: 2%
SECTORAL BY GLA
Retail: 40%
Office: 56%
Industrial: 4%
GEOGRAPHIC BY GLA
Eastern Cape: 27%
Gauteng: 66%
KwaZulu-Natal: 4%
North West: 3%
Our retail portfolio consists of four high-quality, dominant regional shopping malls with strong anchor national
tenants delivering income streams escalating at 7,5%. This year an expansion and tenant-mix optimisation
programme at East London's Hemingways Mall, the largest centre in the portfolio, was completed, positioning the
mall for exceptional growth. A bridge linking the two sections of the Bloed Street Mall was successfully completed,
with new exciting national tenants.
The office portfolio consists of 14 buildings which are of a size and so located as to be attractive to a diversity of
government tenants. These buildings are mainly single-tenanted buildings let to the National Department of Public
Works under long leases providing for average escalations of 8,6%. The office portfolio represents a sovereign
underpin to a substantial portion of Rebosis' earnings, shielding it from private sector risks such as tenant insolvency
and default – material risks in the context of sluggish economic growth and constrained consumer spend.
The company's only industrial property is a specialised single-tenanted industrial warehouse with a triple net lease
escalating at 7,0% which expires in December 2019.
This year the top 10 properties by value represented 80% of portfolio net income and 81% of value. The expiry
profile by gross lettable area is as follows:
31 Aug 2016 31 Aug 2017 31 Aug 2018 31 Aug 2019 Beyond
Retail 13% 9% 19% 15% 43%
Office 7% 21% 22% 8% 42%
Industrial 0% 0% 0% 100% 0%
Total portfolio 9% 15% 20% 15% 41%
VACANCIES
- Retail vacancies have reduced from 4,1% to 3,1% due to increased tenant demand.
- Office vacancies have increased from 1,31% to 3,2% as a result of delayed letting of Revenue building (PMB)
that was previously warranted since acquisition. This space is under negotiation with a new tenant.
- Overall vacancies have hence increased from 2,4% to 3,1%.
ACQUISITIONS
On 14 April 2015, the group made two acquisitions. It acquired shopping centres at Burton-upon-Trent and
Middlesbrough by acquiring the whole of the issued share capital of Burton Investments Limited and Middlesbrough
Holdings Limited. The transaction is accounted for as a single business combination as this was carried out
simultaneously, from one ultimate vendor and completed on the same day. In accordance with its accounting policy
the group has determined that this acquisition was a business combination. The costs of acquisition which have
been recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement are R32,1 million.
On 31 August 2015, Rebosis acquired an effective 59% controlling interest in Ascension Properties Limited
("Ascension"). The acquisition of the controlling interest was effected by a scheme of arrangement on 17 August
2015, whereby Rebosis acquired the entire issued B share capital of Ascension that Rebosis does not already own.
The purchase consideration was an exchange of 23 549 new Rebosis ordinary shares for every 100 Ascension
B shares held by way of a scheme of arrangement, an effective value of R507,4 million for the additional 27%.
The transaction gain rise to a bargain purchase price of R53.8 million.

The acquired businesses contributed revenues of R109,0 million and profit after tax of R19,2 million to the group for
the year ended 31 August 2015.
Had the acquisitions been effective on 1 September 2014 the contribution to revenue would have been R30,9 million
and profit after tax would have been R46,4 million.
FUNDING
At 31 August 2015, Rebosis' borrowings increased to R3,6 billion as a result of the investment of New Frontier,
property acquisitions and the increase in our holding in Ascension. The weighted average cost of borrowings
increased from 7,9% to 8,2% for the period under review – largely due to higher interest rates.
In May 2015 we succeeded in raising R430 million under a new domestic medium term note programme, attracting
an A-rating.
The total debt book now enjoys hedged cover of 74,0%. Post-year end events has now positioned this at 75,2%.
With an increase in the number of shares during the year from 386 531 577 to 518 169 396 and strong investments
made, gearing declined from 38,0% to 36,5%.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
The reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the JSE Listings
Requirements for provisional reports and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. The JSE Listings
Requirements require provisional reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the
measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the SAICA
Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as
issued by 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 condensed consolidated
financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the previous consolidated annual
financial statements. These financial results have been prepared under the supervision of the Chief Financial Officer,
K Keshav, CA(SA).
Except for the new standards adopted as set out below, all accounting policies applied in the preparation of these
reviewed condensed consolidated provisional financial results are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those
applied in the prior year.
Rebosis adopted the following amendments to standards during the year:
- IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment
- IAS 24 Related-party disclosures
- IFRS 3 Business Combinations
- IFRS 8 Operating Segments
- IAS 40 Investment Property
The directors are not aware of any matters or circumstances arising subsequent to 31 August 2015 that require
any additional disclosure or adjustment to the financial statements, other than as disclosed in this announcement.
These results have been reviewed by the company's auditors, Grant Thornton Johannesburg Partnership. Their
unqualified review opinion is available for inspection at the registered office of the company.
These condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2015 have been reviewed by
Grant Thornton Johannesburg Partnership, who expressed an unmodified review conclusion. A copy of the auditor's
review report is available for inspection at the company's registered office together with the financial statements
identified in the auditor's report.
The auditor's review report does not necessarily report on all the information contained in this announcement/financial
results. Shareholders 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 the auditor's review report together with the accompanying financial information
from the issuer's registered offices. The directors take full responsibility for the preparation of these results and
confirm that the financial information has been correctly extracted from the underlying financial statements.
POST-BALANCE SHEET EVENTS
Rebosis participated in an equity raise post-financial year-end to the total value of R750 million. This was hedged
through debt and equity. The equity component of R200 million raised was cum dividend for Rebosis. A further
R58 million equity was raised post-year-end by the company.
PROSPECTS
The domestic economy remains weak and together with a rising interest rate cycle and energy costs, the outlook
looks moderate. The board is of the view that distribution per share for FY16 will grow between 7% to 9% above
that of FY15. This forecast has not been reviewed or reported on by the company's auditors.
