Preliminary summarised audited consolidated financial 
statements for the year ended 30 June 2017

Directors' commentary
Nature of business and strategy
Fortress is a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") investing in direct 
property and listed property securities.

At 30 June 2017 Fortress owned 327 investment properties valued at 
R29,9 billion. At this date the listed securities portfolio, comprising 
both local listed REITs and international listed property securities, 
was valued at R30,2 billion.

The group's direct property portfolio consists predominantly of A-grade 
logistics warehouses let primarily to corporate tenants on long leases. 
The development pipeline of logistics warehouses, which are built to the 
highest specifications, continues to grow to accommodate current demand. 
Fortress has acquired various strategically-positioned zoned and serviced 
land parcels for this purpose. Fortress owns a portfolio of retail centres, 
the majority of which focus on commuter-orientated nodes. These centres 
continue to perform well and are continually being improved and where 
appropriate expanded to maintain relevance in their markets. 
Fortress will endeavour to acquire similar properties when opportunities 
present themselves.

Capital structure
Fortress is an internally asset managed REIT listed on the Johannesburg 
Stock Exchange ("JSE") with separately traded A and B shares. The company
had a combined market capitalisation of R57,5 billion at 30 June 2017. 
The Fortress A shares (share code: FFA) have a preferential right to 
income distribution and to capital participation in the event of winding 
up. The annual increase on the A share dividend is the lower of 5,00% or 
CPI. The Fortress B shares (share code: FFB) are entitled to the residual 
distributable income and capital participation on winding up.

Distributable earnings
The increase in the dividend for the six months to June 2017 attributable 
to the A share was 5,00%, being the lower of CPI or 5,00%, as data 
published by Statistics SA indicated CPI to be 5,80% for the period. 
Accordingly, the dividend for the A share increased from 64,45 cents per 
share to 67,67 cents per share. The B share dividend increased by 25,06% 
from 74,69 cents per share to 93,41 cents per share compared to the 
previous comparable period.

For the 2017 financial year, the dividend for the A share amounts to 
135,63 cents per share (5,00% increase). The B share dividend for the 
year increased by 25,09% to 172,00 cents per share.

Earnings from the listed portfolio continued to outperform and in addition, 
the dividend income from the offshore listed securities benefited from 
attractive currency hedges previously contracted. The retail and logistics 
portfolios performed well, while the office and industrial portfolios 
were marginally behind budget.

Direct property portfolio
Logistics
The construction of phase one of Louwlardia Logistics Park in Centurion 
was completed and this 23 642m2 facility with easy access and good 
exposure to the N1 north highway was let to We Buy Cars. This transaction 
was concluded at an initial yield of 9,1%. Phase two of the park has been 
pre-let to Worldwide Automotive Group. Construction of this 34 000m2 
facility at a forecast yield of 9,5% has commenced and completion is 
expected in April 2018. The tenant has a fixed option to purchase 50% of 
the facility within the first year of the lease agreement. The 
construction of phase three, a 17 000m2 logistics facility, 
is anticipated to commence in October 2017. Negotiations with a large 
corporate tenant for this space are at an advanced stage.

Westlake View phase one, located in the logistics node of Longmeadow, was 
completed prior to the financial year-end. This 19 878m2 logistics 
facility was leased to Bongani Rainmaker, a logistics contractor focused 
on education. The development achieved a yield of 9,4%. Construction of 
Westlake View phase two, a speculative logistics facility measuring 
23 500m2, is anticipated to commence in September 2017. Negotiations with 
a current Fortress multinational tenant to lease this entire facility
are in progress.

The joint venture with C. Steinweg Bridge for the construction of the 
30 000m2 logistics facility in City Deep is progressing ahead of programme
with occupation anticipated in October 2017. Fortress expects to yield 
10,3% on its 51% share of this development on commencement of this 15-year 
lease.

The construction of phase one of a facility measuring 13 400m2 at Union 
Park Logistics is expected to be completed by October 2017. The 
remaining 50 000m2 of available bulk will be developed once phase one 
has been let.

Extensive soil improvements are underway at Clairwood Logistics Park to 
enable construction of logistics warehouses measuring a total of 358 000m2. 
Development site one in this park has been platformed and construction of 
a speculative facility measuring 25 000m2 has commenced. Negotiations are 
currently in progress with three separate tenants for this facility.

The earthworks at Cornubia Ridge Logistics Park (50,1% owned) are at an 
advanced stage and the creation of three separate platforms is nearing 
completion. Negotiations with a potential tenant over a 20 000m2 facility
are at an advanced stage.

Post year-end, Fortress took transfer of zoned and serviced land situated 
east of Linbro Park for the creation of Linbro Park East Logistics 
(GLA of 105 000m2).

The infrastructure at East Port Logistics Park (65% owned) is 
progressing well and the board has approved the construction of the 
first warehouse of 21 000m2. In addition, a current multinational 
logistics tenant has committed to a new 10-year lease on a 23 600m2 
facility in this park. Construction will commence on signature of 
the lease agreement.

Industrial
The continual slowdown in manufacturing demand, rand strength and 
increasing utility costs has impacted negatively on both rental growth and 
vacancy in the industrial portfolio. This slowdown and the resultant 
strain on tenants have seen rentals remain flat and vacancies increase.

Retail
Trading density at Fortress' retail centres grew at a pleasing 7,3% year-
on-year. Strong trade over Black Friday, the December holidays and during 
the January back-to-school campaign all contributed to this growth. 
Turnover rental billed and collected during the period exceeded budget by 
R4 million.

The Galleria (25% owned) welcomed several new tenants to its retail 
offering during the year, including new lettings to H&M and Pick n Pay.

The extensions and refurbishments undertaken at the following centres were
completed: Lephalale Crossing, Lebowakgomo Centre, Venda Plaza, The 
Plaza (Nelspruit), Rustenburg Plaza and Jeffreys Bay Centre. These centres 
are all trading well. Park Central Shopping Centre, Central Park 
Bloemfontein and Palm Springs Centre are undergoing refurbishment and 
redevelopment to meet strong tenant demand.

The Weskus Mall extension for the new Edgars store was handed over in 
April 2017 and beneficial occupation of the new Pick n Pay store is 
expected on 1 September 2017.

Transfer of Fortress' 51% share in the White River centre is imminent,at 
which point construction of phase one, measuring 10 000m2 of this 25 000m2 
development, will commence.

Offices
In a challenging market characterised by continual new supply and weak 
demand, the office portfolio performed marginally below budget. The board
has taken the decision to exit the office portfolio and several 
transactions were concluded. Six office buildings with a total GLA of 
41 816m2 and a combined sale price of R584 million were sold. Several 
further sales are in various stages of negotiation.

Property disposals
The following properties were sold during the year:

Vacancies
The total vacancy at 30 June 2017 decreased to 5,3% from 6,0% at 
31 December 2016. Fortress' property portfolio has a total GLA of 
3 263 683m2 (based on 100%). The total office vacancy as a percentage 
increased marginally, largely due to the sales of tenanted office buildings. 
The total office vacancy measured in GLA has reduced as offices became 
a smaller part of the direct portfolio.

Currency derivatives
Balance sheet hedging
The board's policy is to use cross-currency swaps as a means of obtaining 
funding at rates in a currency similar to that of the foreign investments, 
but only to achieve a neutral effect on the first year's distribution. At 
June 2017 cross-currency swaps totalled EUR488,911 million at an exchange 
rate of R14,17 against investments of EUR1 702,1 million (Greenbay, Nepi 
and Rockcastle).

Income hedging
Foreign income is hedged in line with the following policy:
- Hedge 100% of the income projected to be received in the following
12 months;
- Hedge 67% of the income projected to be received in months 13 to 24;
and
- Hedge 33% of the projected income to be received in months 25 to 36.

In line with this policy the following hedges are currently in place:

                                                                     Nepi

Revised listings particulars forecast
Shareholders are referred to the Revised Listings Particulars ("RLP") 
which was posted to shareholders on 28 September 2015 with regards to the 
Capital Property Fund Limited transaction. In compliance with paragraph 
8.63(g) of the JSE Listings Requirements, the main reasons why the 2016 
forecast contained in the RLP varied by more than 10% compared to 
actual revenue and profit before tax for 2016 are set out below.

Revenue
The forecast in the RLP was based on an assumed transaction date of 
1 November 2015. The effective date was, however, 1 December 2015. 
As a result of the difference in effective date, the revenue of 
Capital for November 2015 was included as an antecedent dividend 
as opposed to being included as part of revenue in the results of 
June 2016.

Profit before tax
Fair value adjustments on investment property, investments and 
currency derivatives are based on future closing equity prices, future 
capitalisation rates and future spot currency rates which fluctuate.

Goodwill was not impaired in the circular, thus impacting profit 
after tax.

Prospects
The defensive nature of Fortress' direct property portfolio which 
specialises in logistics warehouses and the development thereof, in 
conjunction with its commuter-orientated retail centres, continues to 
deliver sustained growth in the current difficult economic environment.

The group's strategically located land will ensure a sustainable pipeline 
for the development of technically superior logistics facilities.

The listed offshore portfolio is well positioned to show strong growth 
in distributions.

On the assumption that the A share dividend will increase by 5,00%, the 
board anticipates that the B share dividend will increase by 
approximately 15% for the 2018 financial year and by at least 15% for the
2019 financial year. The growth is based on the assumptions that there is 
no further deterioration of the macro-economic environment, that no major 
corporate failures will occur and that tenants will be able to absorb the 
recovery of rising utility costs and municipal rates. Budgeted rental 
income was based on contractual escalations and market-related renewals. 
This forecast has not been audited or reviewed by Fortress' auditors.

Notes
1. Preparation, accounting policies and audit opinion
The preliminary summarised audited consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Listings 
Requirements for preliminary reports and the requirements of the Companies 
Act of South Africa applicable to summary financial statements. The JSE 
Listings Requirements require preliminary reports to be prepared in 
accordance with the framework concepts and 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 to also, as a minimum, contain the 
information required by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting. This report 
complies with the SA REIT Association Best Practice Recommendations. 
This report was compiled under the supervision of Rual Bornman CA(SA), 
the financial director.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated 
financial statements, from which the summarised consolidated financial 
statements were derived, are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with the 
accounting policies applied in the preparation of the previous
consolidated financial statements, with the exception of the adoption of 
new and revised standards which became effective during the year.

The group's investment properties were externally valued by an independent 
valuer. In terms of IAS 40: Investment Property and IFRS 7: Financial 
Instruments: Disclosure, investment properties are measured at fair value 
and are categorised as level 3 investments. The revaluation of investment 
property requires judgement in the determination of future cash flows from 
leases and an appropriate capitalisation rate which varies between 7,50% 
and 15,50% (Jun 2016: 8,0% and 14,50%).

Changes in the capitalisation rate attributable to changes in market 
conditions can have a significant impact on property valuations. A 25 
basis points increase in the capitalisation rate will decrease the value 
of investment property by R704,4 million (Jun 2016: R659,9 million). 
A 25 basis points decrease in the capitalisation rate will increase the 
value of investment property by R744,4 million (Jun 2016: R697,1 million). 
In terms of IAS 39 and IFRS 7, the group's currency and interest rate 
derivatives as well as the Hammerson equity derivative are measured at 
fair value through profit or loss and are categorised as level 2 
investments. In terms of IAS 39, investments are measured at fair value 
being the quoted closing price at the reporting date and are categorised 
as level 1 investments.

There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 during the year. The 
valuation methods applied are consistent with those applied in preparing 
the previous consolidated financial statements.

In July 2017 Nepi and Rockcastle merged into a new company, Nepi 
Rockcastle plc, which is listed on the JSE Limited and Euronext in 
Amsterdam. Fortress owns 25,1% of this new company. As a result of the 
merger, a total of R1,109 billion of the deferred tax liability at 
30 June 2017, relating to the deferred tax on the fair value adjustment 
on the Nepi investment, was reversed in July 2017. A total of 
R823,7 million of investment property held for sale at 30 June 2017, 
transferred post year-end. Other than this, the directors are not aware 
of any other events subsequent to 30 June 2017, not arising in the 
normal course of business, which are likely to have a material effect 
on the financial information contained in this report.

The auditors, Deloitte & Touche, have issued their opinion on the 
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017. The 
audit was conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. 
They have issued an unmodified audit opinion. These preliminary summarised 
consolidated financial statements have been derived from the consolidated 
financial statements and are consistent, in all material respects, with 
the consolidated financial statements. This preliminary report has been 
audited by Deloitte & Touche and an unmodified audit opinion has been 
issued. Copies of their audit reports and the consolidated financial 
statements are available for inspection at Fortress' registered address.

The auditor's report does not necessarily report on all of the information 
contained in this announcement. Shareholders are therefore advised that in 
order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the auditor's

Management accounts
Basis of preparation
In order to provide information of relevance to investors these management 
accounts, which comprise financial information extracted from the audited 
annual financial statements for the year ended June 2017, have been 
prepared and are presented below to provide users with the position:
- Had the group's listed investments in Greenbay and Rockcastle that were 
accounted for on the equity method for IFRS, been fair valued.
- Had the group's interest in Arbour Town, an associate, accounted for on 
the equity method for IFRS, been proportionately consolidated.
- Had the group's interest in Mantraweb Investments, a joint venture, 
accounted for on the equity method for IFRS, been proportionately 
consolidated.
- Had the group accounted for its share of the assets, liabilities and 
results of partially-owned subsidiaries (Cornubia, Bridge and Araxia) on 
a proportionately consolidated basis instead of consolidating it. 

The pro forma financial information (management accounts) has been 
prepared in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and the SAICA Guide 
on pro forma financial information.

Directors' responsibility statement
The preparation of the management accounts is the sole responsibility of
the directors and have been prepared on the basis stated, for illustrative 
purposes only, to show the impact on the summarised consolidated statement 
of financial position and the summarised consolidated statement of 
comprehensive income. Due to their nature the management accounts may not 
fairly present the financial position and results of the group in terms 
of IFRS.

Reporting accountant's opinion
The pro forma financial information has been reviewed by Deloitte & Touche 
and their unmodified assurance report is available for inspection at 
Fortress' registered address.

Adj 1: This adjustment proportionately consolidates the indirect investments
in The Galleria and Arbour Crossing that are held through Arbour Town 
(Fortress has a 25% interest), previously accounted for on the equity 
method. It effectively discloses the group's interest in the assets, 
liabilities and results of operations from these investments by 
disclosing the consolidated management accounts for the year ended 
June 2017 on a line-by-line basis.

Adj 2: The investments in Greenbay and Rockcastle are reflected at their 
respective fair values by multiplying the 1 480 410 000 and 358 432 000 
shares held respectively by their quoted closing prices at June 2017.
All entries relating to accounting for these investments on the equity 
method are reversed. This more accurately reflects the group's loan-to-
value ratio and net asset value.

Adj 3: This adjustment proportionately consolidates the indirect 
investment in Mthatha Residential that is held through Mantraweb 
Investments (Fortress has a 60% interest), previously accounted for 
on the equity method. It effectively discloses the group's interest 
in the assets, liabilities and results of operations from this 
investment by disclosing the consolidated management accounts for 
the year ended June 2017 on a line-by-line basis.

Adj 4: This adjustment proportionately consolidates the indirect 
investments in partially-owned subsidiaries (the indirect investments 
in Bridge, Cornubia and Araxia) previously consolidated. It uses 
the management accounts for the year ended June 2017 of Bridge, 
Cornubia and Araxia to reverse the non-controlling interests to 
reflect the group's interest in the assets, liabilities and 
results of operations from these investments.
