Condensed unaudited consolidated interim financial statements 
for the six months ended 31 December 2017

Directors' commentary
Nature of the business
Resilient is an internally asset managed Real Estate Investment Trust 
("REIT") listed on the JSE Limited. Its strategy is to invest in dominant 
regional retail centres with a minimum of three anchor tenants and let 
predominantly to national retailers. A core competency is the successful 
development of new malls and extensions to existing malls.

Resilient also invests in listed and offshore property-related assets. 

Effective from 18 December 2017, Resilient was included in the FTSE/JSE 
Top 40 Index. This resulted in an increase in liquidity of its shares 
and volatility in the share price.

Distributable earnings and commentary on results
The dividend of 306,46 cents per share declared for the interim period 
ended December 2017 represents a 13,4% increase over the 270,22 cents 
per share of the comparable prior period. All of Resilient's investments 
have performed well.

South Africa
The comparable retail sales growth of 5,3% for the six months ended 
December 2017 improved from the weaker performance of the first six 
months to June 2017 as the South African economy emerged from a 
technical recession. November's performance was particularly pleasing, 
partially supported by the Black Friday promotions. The Reserve Bank 
forecasts GDP growth of 1,4% for 2018 which is positive for retail 
sales growth.

The comparable sales growth per province is set out below (Limpopo Mall 
and I'langa Mall were excluded as these are being redeveloped. Mams Mall 
was excluded as it was only acquired during March 2017):

                                   Comparable            Percentage of

Eastern Cape                             (2,3)                     3,8
Gauteng                                   2,8                     26,2
Mpumalanga                                3,7                      9,4
Limpopo                                   4,9                     26,3
North West                                5,0                      5,8
Northern Cape                             7,8                      6,6
KwaZulu-Natal                            10,5                     21,9

The board was positively surprised by the strong performance of 
KwaZulu-Natal. Both Boardwalk Inkwazi and The Galleria performed well. 
Boardwalk Inkwazi benefited from the introduction of H&M, the expansion 
of Woolworths and the addition of a family entertainment centre. Both 
Diamond Pavilion and Village Mall Kathu continued to benefit from the 
recovery in commodity prices. Kumba Iron Ore resumed bonus payments to 
its staff. The additional retail introduced in the catchment areas of 
The Grove and Irene Village Mall, as well as further delays in town 
planning affecting their expansion, negatively impacted on their growth. 
Economic conditions in the Eastern Cape remain challenging.

Fashion Freak, Galaxy Jewellers and Lifestyle Furnishers are currently 
in business rescue. The financial impact on Resilient is insignificant.

A major concern for Resilient is the financial position of Eskom and the 
failure by a number of local authorities to honour their financial 
commitments. Eskom has threatened to interrupt electricity supply to 
three local authorities that Resilient relies on for electricity. 
Resilient has accelerated the introduction of solar power where 
appropriate.

Portugal
In December 2017 both S&P and Fitch upgraded Portugal's credit rating 
and economic growth prospects are positive. The six months' like-on-like 
retail sales growth in Forum Coimbra and Forum Viseu, both 50% owned by 
Resilient, was 5,2% and 1,1% respectively. Forum Viseu's growth for the 
month of October 2017 was 15% negative as a result of wild fires in the 
region. Excluding this month, the growth was 3,4%.

Nigeria
Although retail sales grew strongly in Naira, this was negatively 
affected by the strength of the the Rand. The Nigerian economy is 
recovering supported by a more stable political environment and a 
stronger oil price. In terms of Bloomberg consensus, the economy 
is expected to grow by 2,6% in 2018.

Property acquisitions, extensions and developments
South Africa
Resilient further increased its interest in Mahikeng Mall by 13% to 85% 
at a yield of 8,25% effective from July 2017.

The expansion of the entertainment offering, the relocation of 
House & Home and the introduction of H&M to Boardwalk Inkwazi was 
completed on schedule.

The redevelopment and refurbishment of Limpopo Mall remains on schedule 
for completion in April 2018. Pick n Pay commenced trading on their 
reduced footprint from the beginning of December 2017. Jet took 
beneficial occupation of their new premises in January 2018. This store 
is scheduled to open in April 2018. Truworths will take occupation of 
the first section of their new premises in May 2018 with a final opening 
date in November 2018.

The final phase of the extension to I'langa Mall was completed marginally 
ahead of budget in September 2017. The five external facing stores are 
now nearing completion.

Construction of the enlarged Mams Mall in Mamelodi commenced in November 
2017 with completion expected in November 2018. On completion the 
70 000m2 GLA mall will be anchored by Edgars, Game, Pick n Pay and 
Shoprite and is forecast to yield approximately 8% on the group's 50% 
cost of R625 million. Resilient is partially financing its co-developer 
until completion of the development.

Resilient is still awaiting transfer of the last portion of land which 
will facilitate the extension of the existing 29 447m2 GLA Irene Village 
Mall to an 80 000m2 GLA regional mall. Earthworks and the installation of 
the sewerage and stormwater infrastructure have been completed. The board 
previously approved the development at a yield of 7% on the anticipated 
cost of R1,35 billion.

The extensions to Mahikeng Mall, The Grove and Tzaneen Lifestyle Centre 
remain dependent on various approvals, particularly the awarding of 
rights for the former two.

Portugal
Resilient, together with its joint venture partner, Greenbay, is 
exploring expansion opportunities at Forum Coimbra to extend the mall, 
right-size the international fashion retailers and to improve the 
entertainment offering.

Nigeria
Resilient owns 60,94% of Resilient Africa, the initiative for the 
development of malls in Nigeria, in partnership with Shoprite Checkers.

Subject to an acceptable return being achieved, the board has in 
principle agreed to proceed with Rivers Mall in Port Harcourt.

Resilient's exposure to Nigeria remains relatively small at R663 million.

& 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.
* The interests in Greenbay and Rockcastle were treated as associates 
(equity accounted). The interests were not fair valued in the financial 
statements. In July 2017 the investment in Rockcastle, equity accounted 
at the time, was sold as a consequence of the merger resulting in a 
profit on sale of interest in associate of R3,5 billion being recorded.
# The Hammerson position is held through equity derivatives.

The group elected to receive scrip dividends on its investments in 
Greenbay and NEPI Rockcastle during the period. Resilient transferred its 
investments in Greenbay and NEPI Rockcastle to separate wholly-owned 
subsidiaries. This will facilitate ring-fenced funding against these 
inwardly-listed holdings in future.

Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment ("BBBEE")
Following the maturing of the Eagle's Eye BBBEE scheme, Resilient issued 
shares to the value of R250 million to The Siyakha 2 Education Trust to 
enable it to acquire 1 879 000 Resilient shares at a price of R133,00 per 
share in terms of the approval granted by shareholders on 31 October 2016.

Resilient has not provided recourse to its balance sheet to financiers of
BEE holdings and has elected to provide subsidised mezzanine finance 
(ranging between prime and prime plus 2%) with no equity participation 
to facilitate these transactions. These mezzanine loans by Resilient 
are earnings accretive in the first year yet offer no growth in 
subsequent years. During the period, The Siyakha 2 Education Trust 
raised R781 million from third party financiers. Without prejudicing 
its charitable objectives, Resilient has requested the trustees of The 
Siyakha Trusts to accelerate the repayment of the loans to Resilient. 
In addition to their other activities, the trustees have advised that 
they have granted well in excess of 100 bursaries for tertiary 
education to previously disadvantaged students for the 2018 
calendar year.

Shareholders approved that future acquisitions of shares by BEE 
partners in Resilient be funded at rates equal to the income produced 
by the Resilient shares in exchange for a 49% equity participation 
in the investment.

Vacancies
The vacancy in Resilient's South African portfolio decreased from 
1,9% at June 2017 to 1,7% at December 2017. The largest vacancy in the 
portfolio at Arbour Crossing improved to 12,5% from 17,2% at June 2017. 
Negotiations are in progress to introduce a gym which will absorb most 
of the remaining vacant space.

Vacancies in the Portuguese property portfolio increased from 2,8% 
at June 2017 to 3,1% at December 2017. Forum Coimbra remains fully let.

Vacancies in the Nigerian property portfolio declined to 8,1% 
at December 2017 from 13,5% at June 2017 and are forecast to decline 
further to 5% at year end.

Funding and facilities
South Africa
The joint venture in Portugal made an offer to acquire a substantial 
portfolio of European assets in September 2017. In anticipation of 
this transaction, and taking into account market conditions at the 
time, Resilient approached the market to raise R750 million by way 
of a bookbuild. The bookbuild was well supported and Resilient was 
able to raise a total of R2,75 billion by issuing 21 814 791 new 
shares at a price of R126,00 per share.During the due diligence 
process for the acquisition, risks were identified, particularly 
relating to taxation, and the joint venture did not proceed with 
the acquisition. Resilient was unable to deploy all the funds 
raised to its current access facilities which has resulted in 
it placing funds on call. At the interim period end, Resilient 
still had R495 million on deposit.

Portugal
The Portuguese joint venture has a five-year facility of 
EUR102,7 million that expires in June 2022. The interest rate on the 
facility was fixed at 2,40% until expiry. The funding is secured by 
the Portuguese assets and there is no recourse to Resilient's 
South African balance sheet.

Nigeria
Resilient Africa has seven-year funding of USD45 million in place 
with the three operating malls as security. The funding attracts 
interest at 90-day US Libor plus 6,25% with no recourse to 
Resilient's South African balance sheet.

Interest rate derivatives
The following interest rate derivatives are in place in mitigation 
of South African interest rate risk:

Information based on Resilient's management accounts.

Currency derivatives
Balance sheet hedging
The board's policy is to use cross-currency swaps as a means of 
obtaining funding in currencies similar to that of the underlying 
foreign investments but only to achieve a neutral effect on the first 
year's distribution. At December 2017 cross-currency swaps totalled 
EUR263 million at an exchange rate of R16,25 against investments of 
EUR1 418 million (Greenbay and NEPI 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 income projected to be received 
in months 25 to 36. In line with this policy the following 
hedges are currently in place:

* The loan-to-value ratio is calculated by dividing total 
interest-bearing borrowings adjusted for cash on hand by the 
total of investments in property, listed securities and loans 
advanced. The loan-to-value ratio for the group's Euro debt was 
20,2% and for its US Dollar debt 46,0% at December 2017.

Prospects
Resilient's results from its South African operations will be positively
impacted by a recovery in the local economy as well as continued 
strength in commodity prices. Anticipated increases in interest rates 
are expected to have a negative impact on the group's European-based 
investments, however, European economies are forecast to achieve strong 
growth in 2018.

The board is comfortable that the forecast dividends to be received from
the counters that Resilient is invested in remain achievable as the 
recent volatility in the share prices does not affect the income from
the investments. Resilient's distributions are forecast to increase by 
approximately 13% for the 2018 financial year and by at least 12% for 
the 2019 financial year. The growth is based on the assumptions that 
there is no 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, reviewed 
or reported on by Resilient's auditors.

The board's intention is to have up to 60% of total direct and 
indirect property assets as offshore assets. As at December 2017, 
46,0% of the group's total direct and indirect property assets were 
offshore assets.

NOTES
1 Preparation and accounting policies
The condensed unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with and contains the information required 
by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, the SAICA Financial Reporting 
Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial 
Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards 
Council, the JSE Limited Listings Requirements and the requirements of 
the Companies Act of South Africa. This report complies with the SA REIT 
Association Best Practice Recommendations. This report was compiled under 
the supervision of Nick Hanekom CA(SA), the financial director.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed 
interim financial statements 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 period.

The group's investment properties are valued internally by the directors 
at interim reporting periods and externally by an independent valuer for 
year-end reporting. 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 8,75%.

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 R694 million. A 25 basis points decrease 
in the capitalisation rate will increase the value of investment property 
by R740 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 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 period. 
The valuation methods applied are consistent with those applied in 
preparing the previous consolidated financial statements.

The directors are not aware of any matters or circumstances arising 
subsequent to December 2017 that require any additional disclosure or 
adjustment to the financial statements. At the date of this announcement, 
having revalued the listed portfolio to current market prices and
without making adjustments to investment property, the net asset value 
of Resilient is R92,41 and the loan-to-value ratio is 22,5%. 

The condensed interim financial statements have not been audited or 
reviewed by Resilient's auditors.

Management accounts
Basis of preparation
In order to provide information of relevance to investors these management 
accounts, which comprise financial information extracted from the unaudited 
interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2017, 
have been prepared and are presented below to provide users with the
position:
- Had the equity investment in Hammerson held through derivative 
products been accounted for on a grossed-up basis instead of only 
accounting for the margin;
- Had the group's listed investment in Greenbay that was accounted 
for using the equity method for IFRS, been fair valued;
- Had the group's interest in Locaviseu, the joint venture in 
Portugal, accounted for using the equity method for IFRS, been 
proportionately consolidated; and
- Had the group accounted for its share of the assets, liabilities 
and results of partially-owned subsidiaries (Resilient Africa and 
the indirect investments in Arbour Crossing, The Galleria and 
Mahikeng Mall) 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.

This pro forma financial information has not been reviewed or 
reported on by Resilient's auditors.

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 condensed consolidated statement of financial position and the 
condensed 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.

Management account adjustments
Adjustment 1
The Hammerson equity derivative is grossed-up by multiplying the 
6 260 000 shares held by the quoted closing price of Hammerson 
shares at December 2017. This more accurately reflects the group's 
assets and liabilities.

Adjustment 2
The investment in Greenbay is reflected at its fair value by 
multiplying the 1 981 300 000 shares held by the quoted closing 
price of Greenbay shares at December 2017. All entries recorded 
to account for this investment using the equity method are reversed. 
This more accurately reflects the group’s assets and liabilities.

Adjustment 3
This adjustment proportionately consolidates the indirect 
investments in Forum Coimbra and Forum Viseu that are held 
through Locaviseu, accounted for using 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 six 
months ended December 2017 on a line-by-line basis. Resilient is 
satisfied with the quality of the financial information contained 
in the management accounts of Locaviseu.

Adjustment 4
This adjustment proportionately consolidates the indirect investments 
in partially-owned subsidiaries (Resilient Africa and the indirect 
investments in Arbour Crossing, The Galleria and Mahikeng Mall) 
previously consolidated. It uses the management accounts for the 
six months ended December 2017 of Resilient Africa, Resilient Africa 
Managers, Arbour Town and Southern Palace Investments 19 to reverse the 
non-controlling interests to reflect the group's interest in the assets, 
liabilities and results of operations from these investments.
