COMMENTARY

PROFILE
Redefine is a leading South African-based Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), with a diverse,
internally managed, R84,1 billion (FY2016: R72,7 billion) property asset platform, of office, retail
and industrial investments, anchored domestically and complemented by substantial real estate
investments in the United Kingdom, Poland and Australia.

Redefine's primary mission is to achieve growing cash flows which will deliver quality earnings,
sustained growth in distributions, and long-term growth in total returns for shareholders.

Redefine is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) with a market capitalisation of
R60,5 billion (FY2016: R58,1 billion) and is included in the JSE Top 40 index. Redefine's shares, by
volume, are among the most actively traded on the JSE, making it a highly liquid single entry point
for investors to gain exposure to domestic and multiple international real estate markets.

At 28 February 2017, Redefine's diversified local property portfolio was valued at R67,7 billion
(FY2016: R54,7 billion). The group's international real estate investments, valued at R16,4 billion
(FY2016: R18,0 billion) represented 19.5% (FY2016: 24.8%) of total property assets, providing
geographic diversification into the UK, Polish and Australian markets.

Redefine has a 29.8% (FY2016: 30.1%) equity interest, valued at R4,3 billion (FY2016: R5,0 billion),
in Redefine International PLC (RI PLC) which is listed on both the London Stock Exchange (LSE)
and the JSE. Redefine also has a R6,0 billion (FY2016: R6,3 billion) presence in the Australian
property market through a direct 50.0% (FY2016: 50.0%) interest in North Sydney's landmark
tower, Northpoint, as well as a holding of 25.4% (FY2016: 25.5%) in Cromwell Property Group
(Cromwell), one of the leading property groups listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX).
Redefine has a 39.5% (FY2016: 44.9%) share in Echo Polska Properties N.V. (EPP), valued at
R3,6 billion (FY2016: R3,9 billion). EPP is dual listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE)
and the JSE and owns a portfolio of prime retail and office real estate assets throughout Poland.

Redefine acquired an 11.8% share in Mara Delta Property Holdings Limited (Mara Delta) which is
dual listed on the JSE and Mauritian Stock Exchange, as well as a 37.1% interest in Nigerian-based
Oando Wings Development Limited (Oando) through the acquisition of the Pivotal Fund Limited
(Pivotal).

FINANCIAL RESULTS
Redefine's Board has declared a distribution of 44,82 (HY2016: 41,70) cents per share for the
six months ended 28 February 2017, an increase of 7.5% (HY2016: 6.9%) on the comparable period
of the previous year, which is in line with market guidance. Gross distributable income for the
period increased by 24.8% (HY2016: 29.3%), benefiting from a number of substantial quality
acquisitions made.

Property portfolio revenue for the period contributed 99.6% (HY2016: 98.7%) of total revenue,
whilst income from listed securities represented 0.4% (HY2016: 1.3%).

Operating costs were 33.9% (HY2016: 34.4%) of contractual rental income - the improvement is
driven by utility recoveries. Net of electricity and utility recoveries, operating costs were 17.4%
(HY2016: 17.6%) of contractual rental income. The group's domestic investments contributed
77.3% (HY2016: 78.8%) of distributable income and the international investments contributed
22.7% (HY2016: 21.2%).

CHANGES IN FAIR VALUES
The group's property portfolio was internally valued by the directors at 28 February 2017 resulting
in a net increase in value of R156,2 million (HY2016: decrease of R605,9 million). In terms of IAS 40
and IFRS 13, Redefine's investment properties are measured at fair value through profit or loss
using valuation inputs which are categorised as level 3 on the fair value hierarchy. There were no
transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

Redefine issued exchangable bonds during September 2016 and raised EUR150,0 million.
These exchangable bonds are measured at fair value through profit and loss. The fair value is
determined with reference to the quoted price on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and has been
classified as level 1. The exchangeable bonds were fair valued at 28 February 2017 which resulted
in a R433,5 million decrease in the liability. The fair value of the investment in listed securities'
increased by R152,1 million (HY2016: decrease of R166,6 million) during the period. The balance
of the fair value movements of R53,6 million (HY2016: R230,9 million) relates mainly to the
decrease (HY2016: increase) in the mark-to-market of the group's derivatives, which protect the
group against adverse movements in interest and foreign exchange rates and which were valued
using the swap curve and forward pricing methods respectively. In terms of IAS 39 and IFRS 13,
Redefine's listed securities and derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and
are categorised as level 1 and level 2 respectively.

PROPERTY PORTFOLIO
The portfolio vacancy rate increased marginally during the period by 0.6% (FY2016:0.3%) to 5.5%
(FY2016: 4.9%).

Leases covering 171 208m(2) (HY2016: 282 070m(2)) were renewed during the period at an average rental
increase of 3.1% (HY2016: 4.1%) with the tenant retention rate a pleasing 86.0% (HY2016: 83.0%).
A further 205 213m(2) (HY2016: 171 832m(2)) was let across the portfolio.

Net arrears increased to R73,3 million (FY2016: R39,8 million), representing 9.4% (FY2016: 6.3%) of
gross monthly rentals. The increase in arrears is attributable principally to the Pivotal acquisition.

REDEFINE'S PORTFOLIO STRATEGY
Redefine continues to advance its strategy of diversifying, growing and improving the quality of
its property portfolio. During the period, management's primary domestic portfolio focus was on
protecting, expanding and improving existing well-located properties.

Pivotal: On 9 January 2017, Redefine acquired 100% of the Pivotal shares in issue. Redefine issued
459 999 805 new shares to the Pivotal shareholders in settlement of the purchase consideration.
The Pivotal acquisition is in line with Redefine's strategy of diversifying, growing and improving the
quality of its portfolio.

Redefine acquired 32 Pivotal properties valued at R10,4 billion (including developments in progress
and land holdings for future development). The portfolio consists of 17 office, 10 retail and five
industrial properties with a total GLA of 436 912m(2), which includes the recently completed Alice
Lane Phase 3 office building. Developments in progress include the Loftus mixed-use development
(Pivotal share: 50.0%) and the Kyalami Corner Shopping Centre (Pivotal share: 80.0%) with a total
project cost of R1,2 billion, which will add a further 89 123m(2) of GLA. The major land holdings acquired
are two industrial sites, Atlantic Hills (Pivotal share: 55%) and S&J Industrial (Pivotal share: 45%).

Other acquisitions: Redefine acquired one industrial property, with a GLA of 10 129m(2), during the
period, for a consideration of R85,0 million, at an initial yield of 9.5%. In addition, two industrial
development sites were acquired for a consideration of R238,8 million. The developable area is
495 993m(2) (Redefine's share: 271 443m(2)).

Student accommodation: During the period Redefine acquired a 90% equity investment of
R337,9 million in Journal Student Accommodation Fund which is based in Australia and which has
received development approval for 804 beds at a well-located site in Melbourne. It is estimated that
the total project cost will be AUD125,0 million (R1,2 billion). Development of the site is anticipated to
commence during June 2017.

Developments (including Pivotal): Redevelopment projects in progress in the existing portfolio
have an approved value of R785,8 million at an average yield of 6.8%. New development projects
covering 265 027m(2) of GLA with an approved value of R4,7 billion at an average yield of 9.4%,
are presently in progress. In addition, industrial infrastructure projects totalling R606,4 million for
the S&J, Brackengate and Atlantic Hills sites are currently underway. Two new future projects with
a value of R1,0 billion which will add a further 60 438m(2) of GLA at a yield of 10.4% have also been
approved. Projects totalling R1,1 billion were completed during the period.

Disposals: Eleven properties (six retail and five office) with a GLA of 88 126m(2), which did not
meet Redefine's investment strategy, were disposed of to various buyers for an aggregate
consideration of R514,8 million, at an average yield of 8.1%. In addition, agreements, subject to the
usual conditions precedent, were concluded for the disposal of 12 (six retail, four office and two
industrial) properties for an aggregate consideration of R1,0 billion, with a GLA of 197 168m(2) at an
average yield of 8.5%. During December 2016, Redefine disposed of its investment in Castellana
Properties SOCIMI in Spain for a consideration of R193,0 million.

Sustainability: As part of Redefine's focus on sustainability and cost-efficiency, various
energy efficient and sustainable building technologies are being implemented in new
developments, as well as in existing buildings, including the installation of solar PV (photo
voltaic) panels and smart metering of electricity and water.

4.4x (FY2016: 4.3x).

During the period, Redefine successfully placed secured bonds with a principal amount of
EUR150,0 million (R1,9 billion) bearing a coupon rate of 1.5%, exchangeable in five years into
ordinary shares of RI PLC currently owned by Redefine. The proceeds of the bond issue were used
to partially refinance the JP Morgan bridge facility raised for the EPP transaction during 2016.
The balance of the bridge facility has been refinanced through a combination of secured offshore
bank funding and local bonds with cross currency swaps.

Redefine had unutilised committed bank facilities of R4,6 billion (FY2016: R3,4 billion)
at 28 February 2017 which provides assurance that the group will be able to meet its short-term
commitments. The majority of the short-term portion of interest-bearing borrowings are
being refinanced.

Redefine conserved R527,1 million in cash through the issue of 50,2 million shares under the
November 2016 dividend re-investment alternative, which was accepted by shareholders holding
47% of the share capital. On 9 January 2017, Redefine issued 460 million shares pursuant to the
Pivotal acquisition.

Moody's credit rating: The rating was last refreshed during July 2016 and remains unchanged
as follows:
Global long-term Baa3             Global short-term P-3
National long-term Aa2.za         National short-term P-1.za

During November 2016, Moody's assigned a Baa3 long-term global rating to the EUR150,0 million
senior secured exchangeable bonds issued by Redefine. The outlook on the rating is stable.

COMMITMENTS
Capital development commitments outstanding amount to R3,2 billion (FY2016: R2,4 billion) and
committed property acquisitions total R60,0 million (FY2016: R250,5 million). Future commitments
will be funded by undrawn banking facilities and the proceeds of capital recycling activities.

BROAD-BASED BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
Redefine has maintained a level 3 B-BBEE contributor rating.

PROSPECTS
Political and fiscal stability go to the heart of restoring the domestic economy to a sustainable
growth path. The direction of politics in the coming weeks and months will dictate the direction of the
economy. To arrest the path South Africa is currently on, significant policy reform is required in the
areas of labour, empowerment, property rights and education. Structural issues hindering growth,
such as policy uncertainty, corruption and bureaucracy also need to be collectively addressed -
at present, the political will or ability is not evident and we will unfortunately have to adapt our
approach to operating in a subdued growth and volatile environment for the foreseeable future.

On the international front, low interest rates, volatile exchange rate movements and tepid growth
are set to continue.

Redefine's diversified asset platform has been structured to continue the process of creating
value at low risk, and this, combined with a motivated and aligned management team focused on
disciplined execution of what matters most, reinforces the determination to realise Redefine's
vision of being the best South African REIT.

Prospects for 2017 are subject to numerous factors which remain uncertain, including volatile
financial markets, and the continuing possibility of further sovereign credit downgrades. Growth in
distributable income per share for 2017 is anticipated to range between 7% and 8%. This forecast is
predicated on the assumption that current trading conditions will largely prevail. Forecast rental
income is based on contractual terms and anticipated market-related renewals. The forecast has
not been reviewed or reported on by the group's independent external auditors.

Redefine's use of distribution per share as a relevant measure of financial performance remains
unchanged from prior years.

DECLARATION OF A CASH DIVIDEND WITH THE ELECTION TO REINVEST THE CASH DIVIDEND IN RETURN FOR REDEFINE 
SHARES
The directors of Redefine have declared an interim cash dividend of 44,82000 cents per share, for the
six months ended 28 February 2017, from the company's distributable income (the cash dividend).

Shareholders will be entitled, in respect of all or part of their shareholdings, to elect to reinvest the
cash dividend in return for Redefine shares (the share reinvestment alternative), failing which they
will receive the cash dividend of 44,82000 cents per share that will be paid to those shareholders
not electing to participate in the share reinvestment alternative.

A circular providing further information in respect of the cash dividend and the share reinvestment
alternative will be posted to Redefine shareholders on 12 May 2017.

Shareholders who have dematerialised their shares through a Central Securities Depository
Participant (CSDP) or broker should instruct their CSDP or broker with regard to their election in
terms of the custody agreement entered into between them and their CSDP or broker.

Notes:
Shareholders electing the share reinvestment alternative are alerted to the fact that the new shares 
will be listed on LDT + 3 and that these new shares can only be traded on LDT + 3, due to the fact that 
settlement of the shares will be three days after the record date, which differs from the conventional one 
day after record date settlement process.

Shares may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday, 31 May 2017 and Friday, 2 June 2017, 
both days inclusive. The above dates and times are subject to change. Any changes will be released on SENS.

TAX IMPLICATIONS
Redefine was granted REIT status by the JSE with effect from 1 September 2013 in line with the
REIT structure as provided for in the Income Tax Act, 58 of 1962, as amended (the Income Tax Act)
and section 13 of the JSE Listings Requirements. The REIT structure is a tax regime that allows
a REIT to deduct qualifying distributions paid to investors, in determining its taxable income. The
cash dividend of 44,82000 cents per share meets the requirements of a qualifying distribution for
the purposes of section 25BB of the Income Tax Act (a qualifying distribution) with the result that:

-  Qualifying distributions received by resident Redefine shareholders 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 Redefine shareholder. These qualifying distributions are, however, exempt from dividends
   withholding tax, provided that the South African resident shareholders 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 declaration that the dividends are exempt from dividends tax; and
    -   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 distribution,
    if such documents have not already been submitted.

-  Qualifying distributions received by non-resident Redefine 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. On 22 February 2017, the
   dividends withholding tax rate was increased from 15% to 20% and accordingly, any qualifying
   distribution will be subject to dividends withholding tax at 20%, 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 dividends withholding tax will be withheld
   at a rate of 20%, the net dividend amount due to non-resident shareholders is 35,8560 cents per
   share. A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA, may only be relied upon
   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 declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the application of a
        DTA; and
    -   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, broker or the company, 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.

Shareholders are advised that in electing to participate in the share reinvestment alternative,
pre-taxation funds are utilised for the reinvestment purposes and that taxation will be due on the
total cash dividend amount of 44,820000 cents per share.

OTHER INFORMATION
- The ordinary issued share capital of Redefine is 5 572 378 410 ordinary shares of no par value
  before any election to reinvest the cash dividend.
- Income tax reference number of Redefine: 917/852/484/0.

The cash dividend or the share reinvestment alternative may have tax implications for resident
as well as non-resident shareholders. Shareholders are therefore encouraged to consult their
professional advisers should they be in any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION AFTER REPORTING DATE
In line with IAS 10 Events after the Reporting Period, the declaration of the dividend occurred after
the end of the reporting period, resulting in a non-adjusting event which is not recognised in these
financial statements.

RESTATEMENTS
The results for the six months ended 29 February 2016 have been restated in accordance with the
restatements in the 31 August 2016 audited group annual financial statements. For further details 
refer to prior period restatements and reclassifications below.

- Bridgitte Mathews was appointed as an independent non-executive director.
- Independent non-executive director, Günter Steffens and non-executive director, Mike Watters did
  not stand for re-election at the annual general meeting. Redefine thanks them for their valuable
  contributions during their term of office.
- Executive directors David Rice and Mike Ruttell have stepped down from the Board but remain
  members of the company's senior executive management team and standing invitees to meetings
  of the Board.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
The condensed unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standard, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the SAICA
Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial
Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council and the requirements of the
Companies Act of South Africa and the JSE Listings Requirements. The accounting policies applied
in the preparation of these interim financial statements are in terms of International Financial
Reporting Standards and are consistent with those applied in the previous financial statements.
Leon Kok CA(SA), Redefine's financial director, was responsible for supervising the preparation
of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. These condensed consolidated
interim financial statements have not been reviewed or audited by Redefine's independent external
auditors.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Pivotal Fund Limited
On 9 January 2017, the group acquired 100% of the shares and voting rights in The Pivotal Fund
Limited ("Pivotal") and obtained control of Pivotal. The shares were acquired for a consideration
of R5,2 billion, settled in Redefine shares. Pivotal was a JSE-listed property developer and capital
growth fund.

The business combination is in line with Redefine's strategy to diversify, grow and improve the
quality of its portfolio and recycle its capital through disposing of non-core assets and replacing
them with prime assets. The acquisition of Pivotal positions Redefine even more competitively in
the commercial property sector in line with its strategic intent to become the landlord of choice
in A-grade office space in sought-after areas in South Africa. This has given rise to the goodwill
recognised below.

For the two months since acquisition, Pivotal contributed total revenue of R168,2 million and net
profit after taxation of R51,9 million to the group's results.

If the businesses had been acquired on 1 September 2016, management estimates that
consolidated revenue and net profit after taxation for the Redefine group would have been
R4,0 billion and R2,4 billion respectively. In determining these amounts, management has
assumed that the fair value adjustments, determined provisionally, that arose on the date of
acquisition would have been the same if the acquisition had occurred on 1 September 2016.

The group incurred acquisition-related costs of R7,1 million to 28 February 2017.
This is disclosed as part of administration costs in the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income.

The table below summarises the recognised amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
at the date of acquisition. Provisional amounts have been used for the purpose of consolidation
as the business combination occurred shortly before Redefine's half year reporting period. If new
information is obtained within one year of the date of acquisition about facts and circumstances
that existed at the date of acquisition which identifies adjustments to the below amounts, or any
additional provisions that existed at the date of acquisition, then the accounting for the acquisition
will be revised.

    9 January 2017, being the date that the Redefine shares were transferred to the previous shareholders of Pivotal.

Loans receivable are carried at amortised cost, interest is market-related, therefore the
amortised cost approximates the fair value. The gross contractual amount receivable for loans
receivable is as disclosed above.

Trade and other receivables are carried at amortised cost. Due to the short-term nature,
amortised cost approximates the fair value. Trade and other receivables comprise gross
contractual amounts due of R146,3 million, net of a provision for doubtful debts of R4,3 million,
which is the best estimate at the acquisition date of the contractual cash flows not expected to be
collected.

For all financial instruments carried at amortised cost, interest is market-related therefore the amortised cost approximates the fair value.

(#) The derivatives are classified as held-for-trading in terms of IAS 39.
 *  The exchangeable bonds issued in September 2016 are designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

Fair value hierarchy for financial instruments and investment property
IFRS 13 requires that an entity discloses for each class of financial instruments and investment property
measured at fair value, the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurements are
categorised in their entirety.

The fair value hierarchy reflects the significance of the inputs used in making fair value measurements.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety shall
be determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its
entirety.

The table below analyses financial instruments and investment property carried at fair value.

The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
          
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
          either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Details of valuation techniques
The valuation techniques used in measuring fair values at 28 February 2017 for financial instruments
measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, as well as the significant unobservable inputs
used is disclosed below. There have been no significant changes in valuation techniques and inputs since
31 August 2016.

Listed securities
Closing market price on the relevant exchange.

Derivative assets and liabilities
Foreign exchange options
The fair value is determined using quoted forward exchange rates at the reporting date and present value
calculations based on high credit quality yield curves in the respective currencies.

Interest rate swaps
The fair value is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Estimates of future
floating-rate cash flows are based on quoted swap rates, futures prices and interbank borrowing rates.
Estimated cash flows are discounted using a yield curve constructed from similar sources which reflects the
relevant benchmark interbank rate used by market participants for this purpose when pricing interest rate
swaps. The fair value estimate is subject to a credit risk adjustment that reflects the credit risk of the group
and of the counterparty. This is calculated based on credit spreads derived from current credit default swap
or bond prices.

Cross-currency interest rate swaps
Valued by discounting the future cash flows using the swap curve of the respective currencies at the dates 
when the cash flows will take place.

Interest-bearing borrowings at fair value
The exchangeable bonds fair value is determined with reference to the quoted price on the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange.

Investment properties
The valuation policy adopted by management is to revalue investment property at each reporting period,
valued internally for the interim financial statements and externally for the annual financial statements.
The changes in fair value from the previous reporting period is analysed by management.

Current market-related assumptions were applied to the risks in rental streams of properties. Discount rate
in the respective sectors are disclosed below.

At the reporting date, the key assumptions used by the group in determining fair value were in the following
ranges for the group's portfolio of properties:

                                                                       Unaudited              Audited

Measurement of fair value
Valuation techniques
All valuations were completed using the discounted cash flow method of valuation.

Discounted cash flow method:
The valuation model generates a net present value for each property by discounting forecasted future cash
flows and a residual value at the end of the cash flow projection period by the discount rate of each property.
The residual value is calculated by capitalising the net income forecasted for the 12-month period immediately
following the final year of the cash flow at the exit/reversionary capitalisation rate. The discount rate applied
by each valuator is determined by adding a growth rate per property, based on forecasted market-related
rental increases, to the determined capitalisation rate per property. The discount rate is then tested for
reasonableness by benchmarking the rate against recent comparable sales and surveys prepared by
Investment Property Databank/South African Property Owners Association (IPD/SAPOA). The capitalisation
rate is dependent on a number of factors, such as location, the condition of the improvements, current market
conditions, the lease covenants and the risk inherent in the property and is also tested for reasonableness by
benchmarking against recent comparable sales and surveys prepared by IPD/SAPOA.

Inter-relationship between key unobservable inputs and fair value measurements
The estimated fair value would increase/(decrease) if:
- Expected market rental growth was higher/(lower)
- Expected expense growth was lower/(higher)
- Vacant periods were shorter/(longer)
- Occupancy rate was higher/(lower)
- Rent-free periods were shorter/(longer)
- Discount rate was lower/(higher)
- Reversionary capitalisation rate was lower/(higher)
- Capitalisation rate was lower/(higher)

PRIOR PERIOD
RESTATEMENTS AND
RECLASSIFICATIONS

RESTATEMENTS
Loans receivables - Ma Afrika Tikkun Endowment Trust
In the financial year ended 31 August 2013, Redefine granted Ma Afrika Tikkun Endowment Trust (Ma Afrika)
a loan to acquire Redefine shares. The loan is secured by 55 520 130 Redefine shares and will be repaid
using the dividends on the shares and the proceeds generated by the future sale of shares. As the loan only
has recourse to the shares and no other assets, the issue of the shares on loan account should have, for
accounting purposes, been treated as an option grant which vested on the date when the loan was granted. In
prior years, Redefine accounted for the shares as issued and recognised a loan receivable. The comparatives
for the 29 February 2016 results have been restated to account for the issue of a share option, instead of the
issue of Redefine shares and related loan. The guarantee fee receivable related to this loan has also been
derecognised and is included in the valuation of the option.

Dipula BEE Trust
In 2012, Redefine sold 50 million Dipula Income Fund Limited B shares (Dipula B shares) to the Dipula BEE
Trust for a consideration of R270,0 million and a 33.3% beneficiary interest in the Dipula BEE Trust. The Dipula
BEE Trust obtained bank funding for the purchase of the shares. Redefine in turn provided a guarantee of
R180,0 million and agreed to a put option of R90,0 million (minimum) as security for the bank loan. The Dipula
BEE Trust cannot dispose of the 50 million Dipula B shares without Redefine's approval. Redefine has
assessed that it neither retained nor transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of
the 50 million Dipula B shares and Redefine retained control of the 50 million Dipula B shares. Therefore,
Redefine should have continued to recognise the 50 million Dipula B shares to the extent of its continuing
involvement. Redefine should also have a recognised an associated liability for the amount it could be required
to pay in terms of the guarantee and put option. In 2012, Redefine derecognised the 50 million Dipula B shares
and recognised a financial guarantee receivable and disclosed the related financial guarantee liability.
Accordingly, this transaction has been restated retrospectively to reflect Redefine's continuing involvement in
the 50 million Dipula B shares and associated liability.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Derivative assets and liabilities
In the prior periods, the interest rate swaps presented as derivative assets and liabilities were offset.
Accordingly, the derivative assets/liabilities have been reclassified with the change applied retrospectively.
The change is of a non-cash flow nature and has no effect on the distributable income or profit or loss.

Interest accrual on interest-bearing borrowings
In the prior periods, the interest accrual on interest-bearing borrowings was presented together with trade
and other payables. The interest accrual on interest-bearing borrowings has been reclassified to a separate
line on the statement of financial position with the change applied retrospectively. The change is of a non-cash
flow nature and has no effect on the distributable income or profit or loss. There is no impact on the group's
basic or diluted earnings per share and no impact on the total operating, investing or financing cash flows for
the six months ended 29 February 2016.

Cash flow - dividends paid
In the prior periods, the dividends paid and dividends paid to non-controlling interests were presented as
cash flows from operating activities. Dividends paid and dividends paid to non-controlling interests have been
reclassified to cash flows from financing activities with the change applied retrospectively to be in line with
the manner in which Redefine manages its cash.

The results for the half year ended 29 February 2016 were restated in accordance with the restatements in the
31 August 2016 audited group annual financial statements.
