Net rental income
Rental income increased by 6.9% to R980.1 million compared with the prior comparative period (December 2016: R916.7 million).
Net rental income, decreased by 2.2% compared with December 2016, negatively impacted by straight-line lease adjustments. 
Developments completed during the past six months, added 100 676 m(2) of PGLA, bringing the total PGLA to 807 467 m(2). 
Rental income will be positively impacted for the balance of the financial year as a result of the commencement of
new leases for the five completed buildings and the one extension.

Vacancies
Overall portfolio vacancies, measured in terms of PGLA, increased by 18 130 m(2) when compared with 31 December 2016.
Subsequent to 31 December 2017, 10 744 m(2) of this vacant space was let, reducing the overall vacancy rate to 3.2%. Vacancies
that were filled post 31 December 2017 relate mainly to Gateway West (9 403 m(2)) and Corporate Campus Office Park ("Corporate
Campus") (947 m(2)).

Property expenses
Property expenses decreased by 5.6% or R20.6 million to R348.2 million mainly due to non-recurring spend incurred in the
prior period relating to the opening of the Mall of Africa. Municipal charges of R221.3 million (December 2016: R218.1 million) are
included in property expenses. The cost-to-income ratio on a gross basis improved to 35.5% (December 2016: 40.2%) and 17.7%
(December 2016: 19.3%) on a net basis.


Investment in MAS
Overview
Attacq's shareholding in MAS reduced from 30.6% as at 30 June 2017 to 22.7% as at 31 December 2017. This was as a result of two
large capital raisings by MAS in which Attacq did not participate due to deploying surplus cash into the Waterfall development.
The market value of Attacq's investment, using the 31 December 2017 MAS share price of R30.00 (June 2017: R23.50) equates to
R4.4 billion (June 2017: R3.5 billion). During the six-month period ended 31 December 2017, Attacq received a cash dividend of
R74.2 million (December 2016: R54.9 million), which represents a 3.4% annualised income return, based on the 31 December 2017
market value.

Attacq's equity accounted investment at 31 December 2017 is R2.9 billion (June 2017: R2.7 billion). The increase is due to MAS'
NAVPS increasing by 9.7% from 124.5 Euro cents per share to 136.6 Euro cents per share (after adjusting for treasury shares),
offset by the 1.4% strengthening of the Rand against the Euro and the dividend of 3.19 Euro cents per share.

MAS' acquisition pipeline of income-producing assets, covering Western Europe and Central and Eastern Europe ("CEE"), totals
EUR175.0 million. The secured Prime Kapital development pipeline in CEE totals EUR495.0 million and includes major extensions of its
malls in Bulgaria and Poland and the development of sizeable new retail assets in Romania.

MAS' strong balance sheet, as well as its ability to recycle capital from mature assets, positions it well to deliver on its strong
acquisition and development pipelines and drive distribution growth.


Waterfall development portfolio
Overview
Waterfall's location and ease of access creates an attractive value proposition for the continued development of a new city
and logistics hub in the centre of Gauteng. Attacq has 975 468 m(2) (June 2017: 1.0 million m(2)) of remaining developable bulk
in Waterfall. This bulk is ungeared and approximately 600 000 m(2) is already serviced and immediately available for the value
accretive roll out of commercial, residential and industrial developments.

The value of the Waterfall development portfolio, comprising 7.3% (June 2017: 14.1%) of total gross assets, decreased to R2.1 billion
(June 2017: R3.8 billion) as a result of the five completed buildings. The values below include non-current assets held for sale.

* Estimated PGLA for 100.0% of development. Subject to change upon final remeasurement post completion

The River Creek development is a 50/50 joint venture between Attacq and Atterbury Property Holdings Proprietary Limited
and its subsidiaries ("Atterbury Group"). As transfer is still pending, 50.0% of the carrying value is classified as held for sale.
Once transfer occurs the 31 December 2017 book value of R60.9 million will be converted to cash. Upon completion, Waterfall
City stands to further benefit from a significant densification brought about by the introduction of an estimated 3 500 Deloitte
staff members.

Attacq classified 50.0% of the development rights as well as infrastructure and service costs relating to Cummins South Africa's
Regional Office ("CISARO") as held for sale due to the 50/50 joint venture arrangement between Attacq and Zenprop Property
Holdings Proprietary Limited ("Zenprop"). The 31 December 2017 value of R37.0 million will be converted to cash on transfer to
the co-owner.

Development rights
Development rights relate to the notarially secured contractual rights held by Attacq Waterfall Investment Company Proprietary
Limited ("AWIC"), a 100.0% subsidiary of Attacq, to develop certain Waterfall land parcels.

As at 31 December 2017, Attacq has 975 468 m(2) remaining developable bulk. The heart of the development portfolio is Waterfall
City, zoned for retail, office, hotels and residential developments, amounting to 710 667 m(2). The Logistics Hub is, well positioned
for light industrial tenants, adding 173 710 m(2) to the remaining developable bulk. In addition, Attacq has a further 686 054 m(2) in
the joint venture with Sanlam Properties, a division of Sanlam Life Insurance Limited ("Sanlam Properties"). As at 31 December
2017 the equity accounted value of Attacq's interest in the joint venture was R142.2 million (June 2017: R141.0 million).

A maximum development roll out 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 on developments
under construction. Whilst this asset currently generates no cash return, it creates a platform for future economic benefits from
top structure developments.

Developments in the pipeline
The Atria – Land Parcel 10
Attacq and Barrow Properties Proprietary Limited ("Barrow Group") have established a 50/50 joint venture to develop The Atria,
a mixed-use precinct adjacent to the Mall of Africa which comprises two office buildings, one residential tower with 125 rental
apartments and a 179 room four star hotel. The hotel development will be sold prior to the commencement of the top structure
construction. The development cost, excluding the hotel, for this 37 280 m(2) PGLA precinct, is estimated at R981.5 million.
The super basement bulk excavations have been completed at a carrying value of R110.2 million and as transfer is pending, 50.0%
of the carrying value is classified as held for sale.

Corporate Campus – Land Parcel 10B
Corporate Campus is a 50/50 joint venture with Zenprop, with an approximate total development cost of R930.0 million. The
development comprises six multi-tenanted office buildings with an estimated total PGLA of 34 068 m(2). Phase I (5 868 m(2) of
PGLA) was completed in December 2017 with more than 94.0% of the building being tenanted. The construction of Phase
II, which consists of two buildings and the communal area, commenced post 31 December 2017. One of the buildings will be
tenanted by Accenture SA Proprietary Limited.

Waterfall Point Office Park ("Waterfall Point") – Land Parcel 15
Waterfall Point is a sectional title office park which is situated opposite Waterfall Corner along the R55. The office park will consist
of four buildings with a total PGLA of 9 584 m(2). Conditional sale agreements have been entered into for all of the sectional title
units. The cost as at 31 December 2017 of R27.7 million assigned to the development is classified as inventory as the office park is
being developed for disposal.

Pirtek and speculative warehouse – Land Parcel 8
Attacq commenced with the development of a warehouse for Pirtek post 31 December 2017. The estimated PGLA for Pirtek is
2 908 m(2) at an estimated cost of R29.4 million. In order to take advantage of economies of scale, a speculative warehouse will
be developed at the same time of 5 213 m(2) PGLA, at an estimated cost of R46.1 million. As the Pirtek warehouse is developed for
disposal, the cost assigned to the development is classified as inventory.


Rest of Africa retail investments
Overview
The value of Attacq's Rest of Africa retail investments is R1.1 billion (June 2017: R1.2 billion), comprising 4.0% (June 2017: 4.5%)
of Attacq's total gross assets. The net reduction over the year was largely as a result of a return of capital by AttAfrica Limited
("AttAfrica") as well as the strengthening of the Rand against the US Dollar.

Attacq's Rest of Africa 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, which is invested in four retail properties in Ghana and one retail property in Zambia; and
- 25.0% interest in Grove Mall of Namibia Proprietary Limited ("The Grove"), owner of The Grove Mall of Namibia.

As at 31 December 2017, the Group's investment into Gruppo totalled R278.9 million (June 2017: R286.5 million). The reduced
investment value is due to the strengthening of the Rand against the US Dollar. Trading conditions in Nigeria remain challenging
despite an increase in the availability of foreign exchange. Consumers continue to be under pressure, even though the overall
economy is recovering on the back of higher oil prices.

Attacq's investment in AttAfrica, through its shareholder loan, amounted to R673.1 million (June 2017: R776.2 million). AttAfrica
repaid an amount of R99.3 million during the period, using funds generated by the external refinancing of Accra Mall. An
impairment of R3.5 million (June 2017: R82.8 million) was recognised against the loan due to poor operational performance in
Ghana and Zambia.

Currently Attacq is not receiving cash distributions from AttAfrica, due to the unfavourable trading conditions as well as a
consequence of the legal structure of Attacq's investment in AttAfrica.

Management's focus continues to be the filling of vacancies and tenant retention in order to optimise net income and asset value.

At 31 December 2017, the retail properties in which Attacq has an interest, together with the vacancy percentages were as follows:

The disposal of the Nova Eventis regional shopping centre in Leipzig, Germany, held by Stenham, was implemented. Attacq
utilised the proceeds to reduce interest-bearing debt. In line with Attacq's strategy to convert to a REIT, and to dispose of
non-core assets, The Grove is in the process of being sold to one of the existing co-owners.

Borrowings
Total interest-bearing borrowings net of cash decreased by 0.5% to R10.2 billion compared with 30 June 2017. Gearing, calculated
as total interest-bearing debt less cash on hand as a percentage of total assets, improved from 37.1% (June 2017) to 36.2%
(December 2017). The improved gearing is as a result of a reduction in debt facilities that took place during the last six months,
and an increase in the gross asset value of assets. Attacq simultaneously amended the majority of its facilities to an interest-only
profile as part of the process to convert to a REIT.

In order to mitigate interest rate risk, as at 31 December 2017, approximately 98.0% (June 2017: 90.8%) of total committed
facilities of R11.5 billion (June 2017: R12.0 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
decreased over the last 12 months to 8.9% (June 2017: 9.2%).

R545.5 million (June 2017: R2.6 billion) of the Group's interest-bearing debt is due for repayment over the next 12 months,
including R330.6 million relating to non-current assets held for sale. During the past six months, Attacq successfully refinanced
R3.2 billion of debt, through its Attacq Retail Fund Proprietary Limited and Lynnwood Bridge Office Park Proprietary Limited
portfolios. Notwithstanding that half of the debt was due to expire in May 2018, the Group refinanced the entire amount early in
order to extend the tenure of its loan book and take advantage of favourable pricing. Attacq used the refinance opportunity to
introduce three new institutional lenders to the Group.


Financial performance
Profit before taxation has increased from R64.9 million to R414.3 million due to materially lower operating and other expenses as
well as lower finance costs.

Other income
Other income increased by 11.7% to R38.4 million which includes a foreign exchange gain of R18.0 million on the Euro bank
funding, a further R10.0 million profit (June 2017: R22.0 million) on the original disposal of 25.0% of the PwC Tower and Annex to
the co-owners and a R7.3 million reversal of impairment on the Stenham investment.

Operating and other expenses
Operating and other expenses consists of operating expenses of R75.0 million (December 2016: R77.2 million) and other expenses
of R67.5 million (December 2016: R454.3 million). Other expenses mainly consists of foreign exchange losses of R50.8 million
(December 2016: R173.1 million). The decrease is primarily attributable to a number of once off expenses included in the prior
reporting period, namely the Stenham impairment of R138.0 million, the AttAfrica impairment of R89.5 million, a decrease in
foreign exchange losses of R122.3 million and a R22.3 million impairment on the Gruppo investment.

Total fair value adjustments for the period, which include fair value adjustments on investment properties and mark-to-market
movements on the interest rate swaps, reduced by 13.6% to R213.4 million (December 2016: R247.0 million).

Compared with the prior period, fair value adjustments on investment properties decreased by 7.8% to R252.9 million (December
2016: R274.1 million) and are made up as follows:

                                                                      Six months ended     Six months ended   12 months ended

Fair value adjustments on the South African completed buildings increased by 38.0% from R165.6 million to R228.0 million,
however, the growth was negatively impacted by further impairments on the 2 Eglin, Sunninghill and Newtown Junction
properties. The negative fair value adjustment on Newtown Junction is due to the negative outlook on market and future
rental escalations. The 2 Eglin, Sunninghill property's impairment is due to market rentals in the Sunninghill area coming under
considerable pressure coupled with management's more conservative assumptions around tenanting of the building.

Property valuations for the interim reporting period are Directors' valuations which are in the main, supported by external desktop
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 Directors' valuation in respect of the Waterfall development rights is based on a residual land valuation model. The inputs to
this model is an external desktop valuation performed on a freehold, fully serviced basis. The desktop valuation is then adjusted
downward by management to take into account, inter alia, the costs required to complete the servicing of the development rights
as well as the obligations pursuant to the leasehold nature of the development rights.

Over the last six months a negative movement of R39.5 million (December 2016: R28.5 million) was recorded on the mark-to-
market valuation of interest rate swaps.

Net income from associates
Net income from associates for the current period includes:
-   Income of R41.8 million (December 2016: R2.2 million) from MAS;
-   R11.5 million of income (December 2016: Loss of R34 000) from Artisan Development Partners Limited;
-   A loss of R6.7 million (December 2016: R0.6 million) from Retail Africa Wingspan Investments Proprietary Limited
    ("Wingspan"); and
-   A loss of R9.4 million (December 2016: R8.6 million) from Gruppo.

Investment income
Investment income for the current period reduced by 22.4% to R82.8 million (December 2016: R106.8 million). Interest income
from international investments, via loan accounts, amounted to R60.7 million (December 2016: R83.1 million).

The MAS dividend received of R74.2 million (December 2016: R54.9 million) as well as the Wingspan dividend of R10.3 million, is
excluded from investment income as these dividends are applied to reduce the carrying value of the investments in associates.
No other dividend income was recorded under investment income.

Finance costs
The decrease in finance costs of 8.0% to R456.1 million (December 2016: R495.5 million) is mainly attributable to a reduction
of debt and a lower JIBAR rate. The interest cover ratio for the six months ended 31 December 2017 improved to 1.6 times
(December 2016: 1.2 times) as a result of both an increase in income and a reduction in the finance cost.

Change in directors
Effective 1 July 2017, Louis van der Watt resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company as a Non-Executive Director.
Morne Wilken resigned from the Board as an Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") with effect from
31 December 2017, in order to take up a position as CEO of MAS. The Board, through its Remuneration Committee, has
commenced the process of identifying and appointing a successor to Morne. As an interim measure the Board appointed
Melt Hamman, the current Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as Interim CEO from 31 December 2017 until a new CEO is appointed.

Subsequent events
The Directors are unaware of any matters or circumstances arising subsequent to 31 December 2017 that require any additional
disclosure or adjustment to the interim financial statements.

Prospects
Attacq is focusing on its four key value drivers while making good progress towards converting to a REIT. As Waterfall City and
its surrounds continue to develop, the increasing tenant occupation will in turn contribute to the improvement in the Mall of
Africa's trading densities, further increasing its asset value in the years to come.

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.

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 expects to benefit from increasing distributions from its MAS investment underpinned by MAS'
income-generating investments and its strong acquisition and development pipeline.

In Africa, no further acquisitions or expansions will be pursued.

Attacq is targeting a maiden dividend payment of 73 cents per share, payable in October 2018, for the year ended 30 June 2018.
It is anticipated that Attacq's distributions will grow by 20.0% per annum for the next three financial years commencing 1 July
2018. The guidance is based on assumptions which include forecasted 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 materialise. The guidance has not been reviewed or reported on by Attacq's auditors.

Basis of preparation
The condensed unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2017 have been
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), 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 Listings Requirements and the requirements of the Companies Act of
South Africa. These interim results was compiled under the supervision of M Hamman CA(SA), CFO and Interim CEO of Attacq.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed unaudited consolidated interim 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 period. The new
and revised standards had no material impact on the interim financial statements.

The Group's investment properties are valued internally by the Directors at interim reporting periods and externally by
independent valuers for year-end reporting. In terms of IAS 40: Investment Property and IFRS 7: Financial Instruments:
Disclosures, the Group's investment properties are measured at fair value and are categorised as level 3 investments. In terms of
IAS 39: Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement and IFRS 7, the Group's interest rate derivatives are measured at fair
value through profit or loss and are categorised as level 2 investments. In terms of IAS 39, listed investments are measured at fair
value, being the quoted closing price at the reporting date, and are categorised as level 1 investments. Unlisted investments are
categorised as level 3 investments. There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 investments during the period. The valuation
methods applied are consistent with those applied in preparing the previous consolidated financial statements.

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