COMMENTARY
Introduction
Attacq's vision is to be the premier property company in South Africa with its unique value proposition being its Waterfall
development pipeline. This financial year was a year in which Attacq revisited its existing strategy, taking cognisance of lessons
learned and implementing a revised strategy with a more focused approach. The business model has been simplified, creating the
platform for future growth centred on Attacq's four value drivers. Attacq also took the next step in its journey with the announcement
of its planned conversion to a REIT. The revised strategy is focused on delivering both sustainable income distributions and
capital growth, through the four value drivers. The anticipated REIT conversion is subject to JSE approval and is targeted to be in
place for the financial year commencing 1 July 2018. The repositioning to achieve REIT status has commenced with the reduction
of debt from the proceeds received from the disposal of its Central and Eastern European investments, including the investment
in Stenham European Shopping Centre Fund Limited ("Stenham").
Attacq's value proposition has four key value drivers, namely its:
1. Quality South African operational portfolio;
2. Strategic investment in MAS;
3. Waterfall development portfolio; and
4. Rest of Africa retail investments.
Performance
Notwithstanding the disappointing low growth in NAVPS caused mainly by a R243.2 million foreign exchange loss and
impairments of R220.0 million relating to the Rest of Africa assets and the Stenham investment, good progress was made in
disposing non-core assets and improving gearing levels. Attacq will continue to focus on maximising value creation from the four
value drivers to deliver capital and distribution growth.
Net asset value ("NAV") and NAVPS
Adjusted NAVPS increased by 3.2% from R21.89 to R22.59, and NAVPS increased by 3.2% from R19.23 to R19.84.
Quality South African operational portfolio
Overview
Attacq has a high-quality operational portfolio of retail, commercial and industrial properties with a weighted average lease
expiry profile of 6.4 years (2016: 6.7 years). The value of the existing South African operational portfolio increased to R18.1 billion
(2016: R17.1 billion), comprising 66.1% (2016: 61.9%) of total gross assets. During the financial year, four newly developed buildings
totalling 70 914m2 primary gross lettable area ("PGLA") were added to the portfolio whilst eight industrial and one office
building were sold.

Allandale Building Office August 2016 15 359 >69
Dimension Data Industrial August 2016 8 291 100
Torre Industries Industrial August 2016 9 327 100
Amrod Industrial December 2016 37 937 100
Total 70 914 >93
Net rental income
Net rental income, which includes straight-line lease income adjustments, increased by 17.9% to R1.3 billion. A year-on-year
comparison of the net rental income is less meaningful, due to the four buildings that were completed during the current year
(2016: eight buildings) as well as the inclusion of the Mall's operational results for only two months in the previous financial year.
The Mall has created 4 000 permanent jobs and generated an average monthly trading density of 2 564 m2 during the financial
year, which is exceptional in the first year of trading of a regional mall.
Vacancies
Overall portfolio vacancies, measured in terms of PGLA, increased by 4 690 m2 when compared with vacancies at 30 June 2016. Subsequent to
year-end, 4 431 m2 of PGLA was let, reducing vacancies as a percentage of total PGLA to 2.4%. Vacancies that were filled post
year-end relate mainly to the Allandale Building, the Mall and Waterfall Corner. The remaining vacancies are mainly attributable to
Brooklyn Bridge Office Park, Newtown Junction and The Majestic. Attacq's industrial and hotel properties are fully tenanted.

Office 5.0 13 094 4.0 9 203
Portfolio vacancy 3.0 20 963 2.4 16 273
Property expenses
Property expenses increased by 47.6% or R239.5 million to R742.3 million mainly due to the inclusion of the Mall's trading
activities for a full year as well as the four completed investment properties that were added to the portfolio. Municipal charges
of R423.9 million (2016: R323.4 million) are included in property expenses. The adjusted cost-to-income ratio on a gross basis
is 35.5% (2016: 34.1%) and 18.9% (2016: 14.6%) on a net basis. The cost-to-income ratios weakened mainly due to increased
marketing, cleaning, refurbishment and security costs.
Restructuring of Eikestad Precinct properties
Attacq entered into a sale agreement with the existing co-owner, Key Capital Property Holdings Proprietary Limited, in terms of
which Attacq sold a 20.0% undivided share in Andringa Walk for an amount of R37.0 million. The effective date of the transaction
was 1 July 2016. The transaction was concluded to create alignment within the entire Eikestad precinct with Attacq's local partner,
as well as to unlock further value from this dominant retail centre in the heart of Stellenbosch.
Disposals
Waterfall industrial properties – joint venture with Equites Property Fund Limited ("Equites")
Attacq and Equites have established a joint venture, EA Waterfall Logistics JV Proprietary Limited ("EAJV"), in respect of a
portfolio of eight industrial properties at Waterfall, effective from 1 July 2016. The following completed industrial properties
were transferred on 31 August 2016 into EAJV: Angel Shack, Cummins (50.0% undivided share), Dräger, Hilti, Medtronic, Servest,
Stryker and Westcon. Equites subscribed for an 80.0% shareholding in EAJV, for a subscription consideration of R292.7 million.
Attacq holds the remaining 20.0% of EAVJ which had an investment value of R91.4 million as at 30 June 2017. This partnership
aligns Attacq and Equites, a Cape Town-based industrial property focused company which has strong relationships within the
industrial sector.
Altech Building
The Altech Building, in which Attacq owned a 50.0% undivided share, was sold in June 2017 for a total consideration of
R101.0 million.
Strategic investment in MAS
Overview
As at 30 June 2017, Attacq's effective shareholding in MAS was 30.6% down from 41.4% as at 30 June 2016, mainly due to a
capital raising undertaken by MAS in which Attacq did not participate. The market value of Attacq's investment, using the 30 June
2017 MAS share price of R23.50 (2016: R20.12) equates to R3.5 billion (R2.9 billion) representing an annual pre-tax capital growth
of 18.9%. During the financial year Attacq received a dividend of R105.3 million (2016: R101.2 million), representing a 3.6% income
return, based on the 30 June 2016 market value.
Attacq's equity accounted investment at 30 June 2017 is R2.7 billion (2016: R2.7 billion) which is unchanged from the previous year.
The flat year-on- year result in Rand terms is a result of a 9.0% strengthening of the Rand against the Euro and MAS paying out total
distributions of 4.9 Euro cents during the year, countered by an 8.0% increase in MAS NAVPS from 115.0 Euro cents per share to 125.4
Euro cents per share.
The value of the MAS property portfolio benefited from fair value gains of Euro36.8 million during the year, largely attributed
to MAS' New Waverley development located in Edinburgh, Scotland. Phase I of the development, comprising three hotels and
21 retail units, was completed during the year and the 36 000m2 Phase II is underway following the securing of a 25-year UK
government lease for a 19 000m2 office which will introduce 3 500 office users to the node.
MAS' investment joint venture with Prime Kapital acquired three retail properties during the year, namely Nova Park (Gorzów,
Poland), Galeria Burgas (Burgas, Bulgaria) and Galeria Stara Zagora (Stara Zagora, Bulgaria), adding a total of 71 400 m2 GLA
to MAS' property portfolio. The joint venture intends to extract further value from these acquisitions by way of active asset
management and/or expansion possibilities.
The Prime Kapital development joint venture has exceeded MAS' initial expectations in terms of development opportunities
acquired and secured to date. The venture is now targeting developments in excess of Euro1 billion across the Central and Eastern
European region of which Euro665 million thereof has been secured. MAS has increased its commitment to the venture from
Euro200 million to up to Euro350 million in order to fund this pipeline.
MAS has proposed paying a dividend of 3.19 Euro cents per share in respect of the six months to 30 June 2017. This would result
in a total distribution of 5.9 Euro cents per share in relation to the 2017 financial year, representing a 30.0% increase on the prior
year distribution. MAS remains on target to achieve its guidance of 30.0% annual growth in distributions through to 2019.
Waterfall development portfolio
Overview
Waterfall's location and ease of access create an attractive value proposition for continued development of a new city in the
centre of Gauteng. Attacq has approximately 1.0 million m2 (2016: 1.3 million m2) of remaining developable bulk in Waterfall. This
bulk is ungeared and 608 000 m2 is already serviced and immediately available for the value accretive roll out of commercial,
residential and industrial developments.
The Waterfall development portfolio value increased to R3.6 billion (2016: R3.4 billion), comprising 13.0% (2016: 12.2%) of total
gross assets. The values below include non-current assets held for sale.

+ Attacq has a 50% undivided share in the property.
Attacq's attributable share of the total of 114 761 m2 PGLA is 100 535 m2.
Development rights
Development rights relate to the contractual rights held by Attacq Waterfall Investment Company Proprietary Limited ("AWIC")
to develop certain Waterfall land parcels. These rights form a material element of the overall land valuation. In addition to the
1 million m2 of developable bulk referred to above, Attacq shares in the development rights relating to the two joint ventures
with Sanlam Properties, a division of Sanlam Life Insurance Limited ("Sanlam Properties"). As at 30 June 2017 the value of
Attacq's interest in these joint ventures was R141.0 million.
A maximum roll-out development period of 12 years was incorporated in the development rights valuation process.
Infrastructure and services
The reduced value of infrastructure and services is attributable to an allocation of related service costs incurred by developments
under construction. Whilst this asset currently generates no cash return, it creates the platform for future economic benefits from
top structure developments.
Development pipeline
Waterfall Corporate Campus Office Park – Land Parcel 10B
Attacq and Zenprop Property Holdings Proprietary Limited have established a 50/50 joint venture to develop the Corporate
Campus Office Park, with an approximate total development expense of R875.9 million. The Waterfall development comprises six
multi-tenanted office buildings with an estimated total PGLA of 34 000 m2. The first tenant has been secured and development of
phase I (5 840 m2 of PGLA) has commenced.
Mixed-use development with the Barrow Group – Land Parcel 10
Attacq and the Barrow Group have established a 50/50 joint venture to develop The Atria, a mixed-use precinct adjacent to the
Mall comprising three office buildings, one residential tower with approximately 120 rental apartments and a hotel. The hotel
development will be sold prior to the commencement of construction. The total development expense, for this 37 000 m2 GLA
precinct, is estimated at R981.5 million.
River Creek – Deloitte corporate consolidation
Attacq and Atterbury Property Holdings Proprietary Limited ("Atterbury") have established a 50/50 joint venture to develop
River Creek, a corporate consolidation for Deloitte in Waterfall City. The development on completion will comprise of a PGLA
of approximately 42 500 m2 allowing for occupation of 3 700 staff. The completion date is the first quarter of 2020 and the
estimated development expense is R1.3 billion.
Waterfall Point Office Park – Land Parcel 15
Waterfall Point is a P-grade sectional title office park which will be situated opposite Waterfall Corner along the R55 in
Waterfall. The office park will consist of four similar office buildings with a total PGLA of 9 584 m2. Conditional sale agreements
have been entered into for all four buildings. As this office park will be developed for disposal, the cost of R25.3 million assigned
to the development has been classified as inventory.
Disposals
Waterfall Junction (Land Parcel 3 and 24) – two joint ventures with Sanlam Properties
Attacq disposed of, with an effective date of 1 July 2016, 15 000 m2 of its retail development rights on Land Parcel 3 to a separate
joint venture company with Sanlam Properties titled Waterfall JVCO 15 Proprietary Limited ("JV15"). JV15 also acquired the
remaining retail development rights on the same land parcel from a Mia affiliate company. JV15 is funded by the two shareholders
with Attacq's 30 June 2017 investment therein at R34.0 million. Attacq and Sanlam Properties each hold 50.0% in JV15.
Attacq, in addition, has disposed of its development rights in respect of Land Parcel 24, Waterfall, to a new joint venture
company, Waterfall JVCO 115 Proprietary Limited ("JV115"). The shareholding in JV115 is 20.0% held by Attacq and 80.0% by
Sanlam Properties. Attacq has an option to increase its shareholding in JV115 to 50.0%. As part of the transaction, JV115 acquired
additional light industrial development rights from a Mia affiliate company for R371.6 million. JV115 is funded by shareholders loans
with Attacq's 30 June 2017 investment at R103.7 million. After conclusion of the transaction, the total development rights in JV115
amount to 656 054 m2. The effective date of the transaction was 1 July 2016.
Attacq has been appointed development manager and asset manager for both of these joint ventures.
Rest of Africa retail investments
Overview
The value of Attacq's Rest of Africa retail investments was R1.2 billion (2016: R1.4 billion), comprising 4.5% (2016: 4.9%) of total
gross assets. The net reduction over the year was mainly due to Rand appreciation and further impairments.
Attacq's African investments are held via its:
- 25.0% shareholding in Gruppo Investment Nigeria Limited ("Gruppo"), the owner of Ikeja City Mall, located in Lagos, Nigeria;
- 31.8% shareholding in AttAfrica Limited ("AttAfrica"), which is invested in five retail properties in Ghana and Zambia; and
- 25.0% interest in Grove Mall of Namibia Proprietary Limited ("Grove Mall"), owner of The Grove Mall of Namibia.
As at 30 June 2017, the Group's investment into Gruppo totalled R286.5 million (2016: R326.7 million) and its investment in
AttAfrica, through its shareholder loan, amounted to R776.2 million (2016: R877.4 million). As a result of the unfavourable
trading and economic conditions, impairments totalling R103.5 million (2016: R80.3 million) have been recognised in the current
year. Currently Attacq is not receiving distributions from AttAfrica, in light of the unfavourable trading and macro-economic
conditions as well as the structure of Attacq's investment in AttAfrica.
In the 2017 financial year, sub-Saharan Africa's economies were characterised by poor economic and operating conditions on
the back of weak commodity prices, volatile exchange rates and rising local interest rates. Nigeria in particular experienced
significant economic pressures due to continued low global oil prices, a lack of USD liquidity and high inflation. This environment
placed severe pressure on tenants and consumers. The second half of the year saw some improvement in macro-economic
conditions. Nigeria's USD liquidity improved during the third quarter of the financial year due to rising oil revenues and a more
accommodative foreign exchange policy. Zambia's economy benefited from rising copper prices and improved rainfall; whilst in
Ghana, improved conditions have allowed for interest rate cuts which will assist consumers going forward.
During the year the construction of Kumasi City Mall located in Kumasi, Ghana, was completed. The mall opened on 20 April 2017.
Management continues to focus on asset management activities in order to optimise net income and value. It is noted that a
liquidity event in early 2020 is provided for in the AttAfrica shareholders' agreement giving Attacq an opportunity to realise its
investment and redeploy the proceeds.
The value of Attacq's 25.0% shareholding in Grove Mall has increased by 16.2% to R151.3 million (2016: R130.3 million).
At 30 June 2017, the retail properties in which Attacq has an interest together with the vacancy percentages were as follows:

Investments in and loans to associates
Atterbury Serbia B.V. ("Atterbury Serbia")
On 12 August 2016, Attacq invested a further R100.3 million into Atterbury Serbia to part fund Atterbury Serbia's increase in
shareholding in BreAtt B.V. ("BreAtt") from 33.0% to 50.0%. Attacq's effective shareholding in BreAtt increased from 8.3% to
12.5% at this time. On 27 January 2017, Attacq invested R23.8 million to fund its share of the purchase price of Borca Shopping
Centre, adding a seventh retail property to BreAtt's portfolio, including Serbia's largest mall Ušce Shopping Centre, located in
Belgrade.
Disposal of investments in Atterbury Serbia and Atterbury Cyprus Limited ("Atterbury Cyprus")
Subsequent to the abovementioned transactions and following a strategic review, the Board resolved to reduce Attacq's exposure
to international assets by disposing of Atterbury Serbia and Atterbury Cyprus and in turn focus on MAS as Attacq's primary entry
point into Europe. As a result, Attacq disposed of its shareholdings and loan accounts in Atterbury Cyprus and Atterbury Serbia
to Atterbury Europe B.V. ("Atterbury Europe") for an aggregate consideration of Euro93.0 million, realising R1.4 billion in cash.
Artisan Development Partners Limited ("ADP")
During the financial year, Attacq invested a total of R118.4 million into ADP for investments into three UK-based development
opportunities located in Kent, England and Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland. ADP's investment focus is on acquiring
properties and land for re-zoning and development. The total investment value at year-end was R134.0 million (2016:
R40.6 million).
No further investments will be made into APD taking into account Attacq's strategic focus on MAS as its primary European
investment vehicle.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets comprise mainly of loan accounts provided to Atterbury and the 25.0% partner in the new PwC Tower
development.
The Atterbury loan relates to the acquisition of their 20.0% undivided share in the Mall. The amount due by Atterbury in respect
of 18.8% of the Mall was settled on completion of the Mall, with the balance of 1.2% to be settled based on the 30 June 2017 fair
market value of the Mall, as determined by an external independent valuer. This loan, with a 30 June 2017 outstanding balance of
R65.5 million (2016: R62.6 million), has been settled post year-end.
The loan of R243.1 million (2016: R86.1 million) provided to the PwC Tower development partner has similar terms and conditions
to the debt raised by AWIC in respect of the PwC Tower development.
Non-current assets held for sale
As at 30 June 2017 the following assets were classified as non-current assets held for sale:
The Atria development
The Group classified 50.0% of the development rights as well as infrastructure and service costs relating to the mixed-use Atria
development as held for sale. The 30 June 2017 value is R50.0 million.
Brooklyn Bridge Office Park
Management no longer considers the R553.0 million (2016: R637.0 million) Brooklyn Bridge Office Park to be a core asset, resulting
in the active intention to dispose of the asset. The value has decreased substantially, year on year, due to the impact of an
anticipated vacancy in May 2018.
Stenham European Shopping Centre Fund Limited ("Stenham")
The 19.9% interest in Stenham, the owner of the Nova Eventis regional shopping centre in Leipzig, Germany is recognised at a
value of R197.7 million (2016: R380.8 million). This investment was included in other investment in the previous financial year.
Following a protracted disposal process, Stenham concluded a conditional agreement to dispose of the intermediary holding
company which owns Nova Eventis at net asset value determined with reference to a valuation of Euro208.5 million for the
shopping centre. Consequently, included in the results for this financial year, relating to Stenham, is a pre-tax negative fair value
adjustment of R116.6 million.
Subsequent to year end, merger clearance from the European Commission and shareholder approval has been obtained,
following which the disposal was implemented and more than 95.0% of the expected proceeds of R197.7 million have been
received with the balance to follow in October 2017 and July 2018.
Borrowings
Total interest-bearing borrowings net of cash decreased by 8.0%, compared to 30 June 2016 (2016: 30.2% increase compared
to 2015) mainly due to a portion of the proceeds (R582.6 million) from the sale of Atterbury Cyprus and Atterbury Serbia being
used to reduce debt. Subsequent to year end, the balance of the proceeds amounting to R737.4 million was applied against debt.
Gearing, calculated as total interest-bearing debt less cash on hand as a percentage of total assets, improved from 39.9% as at
30 June 2016 to 37.1% as at 30 June 2017. In order to mitigate interest rate risk, as at 30 June 2017, approximately R10.9 billion
(2016: R11.0 billion) or 90.8% (2016: 79.5%) of total committed facilities of R12.0 billion (2016: R13.8 billion) were hedged by way
of fixed interest rate loans and interest rate swaps. This is well in excess of the 70.0% minimum interest rate hedging policy set by
the Attacq Board. The weighted average cost of funding remained flat over the last 12 months at 9.2% (2016: 9.2%).
Approximately 24.7% or R2.6 billion of the Group's interest-bearing debt is due for repayment over the next 12 months including
R330.5 million relating to non-current assets held for sale. An amount of R378.9 million of the R2.6 billion was settled after year
end. Funding of R1.6 billion, which is included in the short-term portion, relates to 50.0% of the total senior debt provided to the
Attacq Retail Fund Proprietary Limited and Lynnwood Bridge Office Park Proprietary Limited portfolios during May 2015. The
maturity date of this funding is May 2018 and in this regard attractive refinance proposals from existing lenders, as well as new
lenders looking to establish funding relationships with the Group, have been received. The funding team are finalising allocations
in this regard.
Financial performance
Profit for the year reduced by R784.7 million or 56.7% mainly due to the strengthening of the Rand, reduction in other income and fair
value adjustments as well as the once off realisation of the MAS agterskot of R479.8 million in the previous year.
Other income
Other income reduced from 2016's R448.6 million to R60.5 million due to a stronger Rand and once off disposal profits which were included
in 2016. The material decrease is due to the fact that the previous year included unrealised foreign exchange gains of R211.6 million,
a R145.0 million profit on the disposal of the interest in Bagaprop Limited and Mall of Mauritius at Bagatelle Limited, a R44.0 million
profit on the disposal of MAS shares and a R33.3m profit on the disposal of Attacq's 10.0% shareholding in Atterbury.
Operating and other expenses
Operating and other expenses consists of operating expenses of R159.6 million (2016: R139.5 million) and other expenses of R426.1 million
(2016: R207.8 million).
The material increase in other expenses is primarily attributed to the Stenham impairment of R116.6 million, the AttAfrica impairment of
R82.8 million (2016: R58.3 million), a R20.6 million (2016: R22.0 million) impairment on the Ikeja Mall investment and unrealised foreign
exchange losses of R162.7 million.
Fair value adjustments
Total fair value adjustments for the financial year, which include fair value adjustments on investment properties and marked-to-market
movements on the interest rate swaps, reduced by 49.3% to R527.6 million (2016: R1.1 billion).
Compared to the prior year, fair value adjustments on investment properties decreased by 38.1% to R664.5 million (2016: R1.1 billion)
and are made up as follows:
30 June 2017 30 June 2016
R'000 R'000
Completed buildings 536 936 557 949
Developments under construction 193 133 758 314
Development rights (65 544) (230 039)
Land - (12 000)
Total fair value adjustments to investment properties 664 525 1 074 224
The main reason for the year-on-year reduction of fair value adjustment in developments under
construction relates to the Mall which was completed during the previous financial year.
Property valuations as at 30 June 2017 are based on external valuations performed by Jones Lang LaSalle
Proprietary Limited, Sterling Valuation Specialists and Mills Fitchet Magnus Penny & Wolffs. The Directors
have made adjustments for straight-lining and cost to complete.
The valuation in respect of Waterfall's development rights is based on an external valuation performed
on a freehold, fully serviced basis. The valuation is then adjusted downward to take into account, inter
alia, the costs required to complete the servicing of the development rights and the estimated future
rental obligations attached to the development rights.
For the current year a pre-tax loss of R136.9 million (2016: R32.5 million) was recorded on the marked-to-
market valuation of the interest rate swap.
Net income from associates
Net income from associates for the current year includes income of R190.0 million (2016: Loss of R81.6 million)
from MAS, income of R20.7 million (2016: R126.1 million) from Atterbury Cyprus and income of
R10.9 million (2016: R3.4 million) from Atterbury Serbia.
Investment income
Investment income for the current year reduced by 19.6% to R189.5 million (2016: R235.8 million) from the
previous year. Included in investment income is interest income of R189.0 million (2016: R182.9 million)
and dividend income of R0.5 million (2016: R52.8 million). Interest income from international investments,
via loan accounts, amounted to R134.3 million (2016: R146.5 million).
Excluded from investment income is the MAS dividend received of R105.3 million (2016: R101.2 million), as
this dividend is applied to reduce the value of the investment in associate.
Finance costs
The increase in finance costs of 17.6% to R987.4 million (2016: R840.0 million) compared with the prior year is attributable to the
completion of the four buildings (2016: eight buildings) in the financial year, as well as the fact that the Mall was completed in
April 2016. Once a property is completed, finance costs post-completion are expensed and no longer capitalised to the specific
development.
Change in directors
No changes to the Board have occurred during the financial year. However, effective 1 July 2017, LLS van der Watt resigned from
the Board as a Non-Executive Director.
Subsequent events
The Directors are unaware of any matters or circumstances arising subsequent to 30 June 2017 that require any additional
disclosure or adjustment to the annual financial statements.
Prospects
In South Africa, Attacq has strategically focused on Waterfall, with the objective of developing Waterfall City – an integrated city
that works, as well as the Waterfall Logistics Hub – Gauteng's logistic hub of choice. The node continues to grow, with four new
buildings completed during the year under review adding 70 914 m2 of PGLA.
Waterfall is the ideal location for corporate consolidation due to its central location and ease of access to the rest of Gauteng.
Tenants who have relocated to Waterfall include Premier Foods, Group Five, Novartis, Massmart, Cummins and Cell C. In addition,
PwC will be consolidating in Waterfall on completion of the PwC Tower in early 2018, with Deloitte due to relocate to Waterfall
City on completion of the River Creek building in the first quarter of 2020.
The location of Waterfall's Logistic Hub between Johannesburg and Pretoria, with its close proximity to major highways and
transport routes, makes it a natural location for distribution centres and other light industrial users. The joint venture with Sanlam
Properties has further increased the land available for industrial developments.
As Waterfall City and its surrounds continue to develop, the increasing density will benefit the Mall's trading densities,
increasing further value in the years to come.
Outside of Waterfall, Attacq will continue to optimise and extract further value from its South African portfolio of high quality
properties, including its portfolio of regional malls. On an international front, Attacq's strategic investment in MAS is expected to
provide continual benefit from MAS' revised strategy of focusing on distributable income growth underpinned by its attractive income-
generating investments and the development pipeline in Central and Eastern Europe.
Attacq is currently not looking at increasing its investments in the rest of Africa.
Attacq is targeting a maiden dividend payment from its income-producing assets, namely the existing quality operational portfolio and MAS
investment, of 73 cents per share for the year ended 30 June 2018 with a 20.0% growth per annum in its distributions for the next three years.
The guidance is based on assumptions which include forecast rental income based on contractual terms and anticipated market-related renewals,
the expected roll-out of the current and budgeted development portfolio, MAS achieving its distribution targets, the required positioning to
become a REIT and that no unforeseen circumstances such as major corporate tenant failures or macro-economic instability. The guidance has not
been reviewed or reported on by Attacq's auditors.
Basis of preparation and accounting policies
The summarised provisional consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017 have been prepared in
accordance with the requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements applicable to summarised provisional reports and the
requirements of the Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008 of South Africa applicable to summarised financial statements. 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"), 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 was compiled under the supervision of M Hamman CA (SA), Chief Financial Officer of Attacq.
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the summarised provisional consolidated financial statements 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. These standards did
not have any impact on the financial statements.
Fair value disclosure
The Group's investment properties were externally valued by independent valuers. In terms of IAS 40: Investment Property
and IFRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosure, the Group's investment properties are measured at fair value and are categorised
as level 3 investments. The valuation of investment properties requires judgement in the determination of future cash flows
from leases and an appropriate capitalisation rate which varies between 6.3% and 9.8% (2016: 6.3% and 9.5%). Changes in
the capitalisation rate attributable to changes in market conditions can have a significant impact on property valuations. A
50-basis points weakening in the capitalisation rate will decrease the value of investment properties by R640.5 million (2016:
R603.3 million). A 50-basis points improvement in the capitalisation rate will increase the value of investment properties by
R746.2 million (2016: R690.6 million). Changes in the discount rate attributable to changes in the underlying risk profile associated
with the property portfolio can have a significant impact on property valuations. A 50-basis points weakening in the discount
rate will decrease the value of investment properties by R557.7 million (2016: R462.8 million). A 50-basis points improvement
in the discount rate will increase the value of investment properties by R592.1 million (2016: R480.9 million). In terms of IAS 39:
Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement and IFRS 7, the Group's currency and interest rate derivatives as well as the
equity derivative are measured at fair value through profit or loss and are categorised as level 2 investments. Unlisted investments
are categorised as level 3. 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. This announcement does not include
the information required pursuant to paragraph 16A(j) of IAS 34. The full set of Annual Financial Statements is available on the
issuer's website, at the issuer's registered offices and upon request.
