NATURE OF BUSINESS
Arrowhead is a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") holding a diverse portfolio of direct office, retail and
industrial properties. In addition, as at 30 September 2016, Arrowhead held a 60,1% holding (2015: 70,2%) in
its subsidiary, Indluplace Properties Limited ("Indluplace"), which owns a portfolio of residential properties, an
interest of 19,0% in Rebosis Property Fund Limited ("Rebosis") as well as a 11,5% interest in Dipula Income Fund
Limited ("Dipula"). The reduction in shareholding in Indluplace is as a result of Arrowhead not participating in the
Indluplace capital raise in proportion to its shareholding in October 2015. The total property portfolio, located in all
provinces of South Africa, is valued at R10,0 billion.

The company's main focus is on paying growing income returns to its investors. This is achieved through escalating
rentals in terms of leases with tenants, satisfactory renewal of leases with existing tenants, letting of vacant space
within the property portfolio, managing and reducing, where possible, costs associated with the property portfolio
and by acquiring revenue enhancing properties and investments in other REITs.

A- and B-ordinary shareholders were the same.

COMMENTARY

REVENUE
Revenue includes rental income and expenditure that is recoverable from tenants.

The substantial increase in revenue is due to the full effect of the acquisitions concluded during the previous financial year, 
annual escalations to existing leases and partially the impact of acquisitions concluded during the current financial year. In the 
current financial year, Arrowhead acquired Cleary Park in Port Elizabeth for R466,0 million and also acquired the remaining 10,0% 
in Access Park for R79,7 million. Indluplace acquired R640,0 million worth of residential property.

At 30 September 2015, Arrowhead owned 157 properties directly and 95 residential properties indirectly. At 30 September 2016, Arrowhead 
owned 154 properties by value (retail 47,0%, offices 41,0% and industrial 12,0%) and 116 residential properties both directly and indirectly. 
Arrowhead sold four properties during the year for a value of R126,4 million which reduced the number of properties from 158 to 154. The 
average gross monthly rental per m² per sector is R114 for retail, R116 for office and R39 for industrial. Vacancies have slightly increased 
from 7,3% at 30 September 2015 to 7,8% at 30 September 2016 (retail 7,8%, office 9,4% and industrial 5,5%).

During the year under review, 194 736m² of gross lettable area ("GLA") in the property portfolio expired, of which 76,0% was renewed. Average 
rental escalations of 8,11% have been achieved on lease renewals across the property portfolio and the average lease profile across the portfolio 
is 3,76 years. Positive reversions in all sectors: retail 8,75%, office 4,68%, and industrial 11,25%, partially effected by the grossing up of 
rates recoveries into gross rental.

LISTED SECURITIES INCOME
Listed securities income comprises income received on shares held in Dipula and Rebosis. During the current financial year Arrowhead identified 
an opportunity to acquire a meaningful investment in Rebosis, a listed REIT, with its sought after portfolio of properties. This investment was 
made on a revenue enhancing basis for Arrowhead. This accounts for the large increase in listed securities income.

In this reporting period, Arrowhead has recognised the anticipated dividends received in respect of Dipula and Rebosis in the form of an adjustment 
in the distributable earnings reconciliation.

Municipal expenses have increased in line with the increased revenue. The gross expense to income ratio has increased from 34,0% to 37,0% while 
the net expense to income ratio increased from 13% to 15%. This is within expectations and is largely as a result of a change in the mix of the 
property portfolio.

Assuming a gearing ratio on the property portfolio of 25% and an annual effective interest rate of 9%, the total growth in distributable income for the 
year ending 30 September 2017, should be 7,94%. The core portfolio now includes all properties (except the residential properties) that were owned for a 
full two-year period from 1 October 2014 and still owned at 30 September 2016. The core portfolio represents 93,65% of the retail, industrial and office 
portfolios (by value). The projections have not been reviewed or reported on by Grant Thornton Johannesburg Partnership.

LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS OF GROUP SHARE PURCHASE AND OPTION SCHEMES
The loans to participants of group share purchase and option schemes are in respect of loans to participants of both the Arrowhead- and Indluplace share 
purchase and option schemes. The recipients include the executive directors and staff of Arrowhead and Indluplace. The increase from R433,9 million to 
R540,6 million is as a result of loans issued to participants of the Arrowhead share purchase scheme. The loans bear interest either at the company's effective 
rate of borrowings (in respect of earlier loans in Arrowhead) or bear interest at a rate equal to the dividend of the company (in respect of more recent loans 
in Arrowhead and Indluplace) and are secured by a cession of the shares. The ownership of these shares vests with the beneficiaries on date of granting of the 
shares. The voting rights of the shares also vest with the beneficiaries.

TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables, deposits, other receivables and payments in advance increased from R61,1 million to R80,9 million. The balance outstanding has increased 
from the prior year as a result of the enlarged property portfolio. Bad debts amounting to R2,9 million have been written off during the year under review, 
whilst the allowance for bad debt increased from R6,9 million to R8,7 million. The combined amounts are less than 1% of revenue.

SECURED FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
The loans of R3,1 billion (2015: R2,4 billion) measured against investment properties and financial assets of R11,45 billion (2015: R8,6 billion) represents 
a loan to value of 27,5% (2015: 27,9%). The interest rate swaps of R2,2 billion and the fixed rate loan of R480,0 million resulted in interest on R2,6 billion 
of the total loans of R3,1 billion being fixed. This equates to 84,1% of the total borrowings.

Excess funds are placed in an access facility to reduce the overall interest charge. The effective interest rate for the period ended 30 September 2016 was 
9,35% (30 September 2015: 8,96%).

PROSPECTS
Commercial property portfolio
The company expects the net property income of its core portfolio to grow at a rate of approximately 6,0%. With gearing at the current level and interest 
rates fixed, the net property income of its core portfolio should grow by between 7,0% and 8,0% in the next financial year.

Sasol Rosebank
Sasol has indicated that it will vacate the Sasol Rosebank building on 31 December 2016. Arrowhead is in advanced discussions with a number of potential 
tenants around a possible tenancy to commence in the next financial year. One of the potential tenants has indicated the possibility of entering into an 
agreement to acquire the building. In light of the stage of these discussions we have accordingly not included assumptions on potential rental of the 
Sasol Rosebank building in the forecast projections. The shortfall in income for the next financial year is in excess of R20 million. Letting of Sasol 
Rosebank is an upside to the forecast numbers presented below.

Corporate activity
Subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions precedent, Arrowhead has disposed of its subsidiary, Cumulative Properties Limited, to Synergy Income Fund 
Limited (the name of which is to be changed to Gemgrow Properties Limited ("Gemgrow")). The purchase consideration is to be settled by the issue to the 
Arrowhead Group of 247 412 267 Gemgrow "B" shares. Gemgrow will position itself to acquire smaller, higher yielding properties that the rest of the listed 
property sector does not focus on and will seek to position itself to drive consolidation within the sector. Arrowhead's earnings will be negatively affected
by the transaction by approximately R9 million being Gemgrow's estimated corporate costs for 2017. Income from the Gemgrow B shares should, from 2017/2018, 
significantly add to Arrowhead's income as Gemgrow executes its growth strategy.

After this transaction, Arrowhead (excluding its subsidiaries) will own 54 properties valued at R5,7 billion with a vacancy of 6,0% and an average property 
value of R107,0 million. The average length of leases will be just under 3,87 years. 2017 will be a transformative year for Arrowhead as it improves it's 
quality and shape.

Gemgrow will have its own dedicated and incentivised management team, who will focus on growing the portfolio on an accretive basis with properties valued 
at under R50,0 million per property. There are significant opportunities in this market.

Projected 2017 dividend per share
The forecast excludes the effects of any acquisitions that will be made during the year as well as the letting of any vacant space. It also assumes that all 
leases expiring during the year will be renewed other than where the company has information to the contrary. For the 2017 financial year the company is 
projected to produce dividend growth of between 6,0% and 8,0% per share. As set out above, this is after taking into account the shortfall of R9 million in 
setting up Gemgrow and the shortfall in rental at Sasol Rosebank. In the event that these items are added back, growth in dividends would normalise at 
between 8,0% and 9,0%. The projections have not been reviewed or reported on by Grant Thornton Johannesburg Partnership.

Given the nature of its business, Arrowhead uses dividend per share as its key performance measure as it is considered a more relevant performance measure 
than earnings or headline earnings per share.

Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday, 7 December 2016 and Friday 9 December 2016, both days inclusive.

In accordance with Arrowhead'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, No. 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.

The dividend received by or accrued to South African tax residents must be included in the gross income of such shareholders and will not be exempt from 
income tax (in terms of the exclusion to the general dividend exemption, contained in paragraph (aa) of section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Income Tax Act) because 
they are dividends distributed by a REIT. This dividend is, however, exempt from dividend withholding tax in the hands of South African tax resident 
shareholders, provided that the South African resident shareholders 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 company, 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 company, as the case may be, should the circumstances affecting the exemption 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. Shareholders are advised to contact their CSDP, broker or the company, 
as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to payment of the distributions, if such documents have not already been 
submitted.

Dividends received by non-resident shareholders will not be taxable as income and instead will be treated as ordinary dividends which are exempt from income 
tax in terms of the general dividend exemption in section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Income Tax Act. It should be noted that up to 31 December 2013 dividends received 
by non-residents from a REIT were not subject to dividend withholding tax. From 1 January 2014, any dividends 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 shareholders. Assuming dividend withholding tax will be withheld at a rate of 15%, the net dividend 
amount due to non-resident shareholders is 17,75650 cents per share. A reduced dividend withholding 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 uncertificated shares, or the 
company, 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 company, 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 or broker 
or the company, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to payment of the distribution if such documents have not 
already been submitted, if applicable.

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 this dividend: 1 025 893 790

Payment of the dividend will be made to shareholders on Monday, 12 December 2016. In respect of dematerialised shares, the dividend will be transferred to 
the CSDP broker accounts on Monday, 12 December 2016. Certificated shareholders' dividend payments will be deposited on or about Monday, 12 December 2016.

* In the prior year the debenture interest paid has been excluded from headline earnings as the linked units have been de-linked resulting in disclosure 
  of earnings per share compared to earnings per linked unit in the   prior year. This resulted in a significant decrease in the basic and diluted earnings 
  per share as well as the headline earnings per share.
# The main reason for the differential in the earnings, headline and diluted headline earnings per share compared to distribution per share is due to the 
  change in fair value of investment property and the recognition of dividends earned on listed REITs below the line.
