Commentary
Nature of the business
Texton Property Fund Limited ("Texton" or "the Company" or "the Fund") is an
internally asset managed Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") listed on the
JSE Limited. It has a portfolio of R5,4 billion of assets with retail, office
and industrial exposure located in South Africa and the United Kingdom.
Distributable earnings and commentary on results
The board of directors of Texton ("the Board") is pleased to declare an interim
dividend of 47,95 cents per share for the six months ended 31 December 2017,
which is in line with market guidance and the prior year dividend. This was
achieved from a solid performance of the core portfolio.
The Manco Internalisation transaction was finalised in October 2017,
whereby Texton paid a fee of R180 million to cancel the asset management
agreement. Management and staff are proceeding with crafting a new
direction for Texton. As previously communicated, internalising the
external management function was likely to have a dilutionary impact
on earnings. Notwithstanding this, the property portfolio performed well,
ensuring Texton was able to deliver flat growth in distribution
to shareholders.
While the rationalisation of our portfolio has yielded pleasing results,
we continue to operate in a challenging economy with weak local property
fundamentals. Operationally, the past six months have been about changing
the way we do things and being aligned with the right service providers.
We believe the results of this change will start to show in the way we
operate and the unlocking of efficiencies. Furthermore, managing a tight
ship with arrears is important in this trading environment as that will
be the key to income protection alongside strong tenant covenants.
The Board recognises the highly attractive forward yield at which Texton
is trading and this presented an opportunity for share buybacks by the
Company, which were initiated from November 2017. Given the high forward
yield, yield accretive acquisitions are limited, however, management's
medium-term goal is to degear our balance sheet to create capacity to
pursue local and offshore opportunities.
Property portfolio
Key performance indicators
A key focus over the past six months has been cost rationalisation and
portfolio-enhancing acquisitions, which will diversify the Fund in terms
of both sector and geography. Texton continues to maintain a defensive
office portfolio, which has performed admirably considering the oversupply
and vacancies currently experienced in the major property nodes. Our
industrial portfolio has performed in line with budget other than the
vacancy at Hermanstad. Our retail portfolio has remained robust with
tenant waiting lists at Woodmead Commercial Park.
Texton's current portfolio, split by value, is 59,9% (June 2017: 61,0%)
located in South Africa and 40,1% (June 2017: 39,0%) located in the
United Kingdom (including our portion of Broad Street Mall).
There were no acquisitions in the six months to December 2017. All
properties shown as held for sale at 30 June 2017 have transferred
other than Bompas Road. This sale did not materialise and the property
was reclassified to investment property.
Vacancies
Texton has embarked on an active drive to fill its vacancies and
continues to engage with its broker network, principals and prospective
users. Vacancies have increased to 7,0% at 31 December 2017 from 4,9%
at 30 June 2017. This was mainly due to the relocation and consolidation
of a single tenant that occupied the Scott Street and St George's Mall
properties. On a like-for-like basis to 30 June 2018, we are confident
that our vacancies will remain below the South African Property Owners'
Association ("SAPOA") average.

South Africa
A definitive highlight was the renewal of the Department of Public Works'
lease at the Foretrust building in Cape Town, Texton's largest South
African asset by value and gross lettable area. The renewal of 24 000 m2
was a significant win given the challenge of general market conditions
and the Department's backlog of attending to expired leases. Texton is
also reassessing its options for this property in the medium to long
term to potentially allow for a mixed-use development given the prime
location of this site. The Foretrust lease renewal has had an immensely
positive impact on Texton's lease expiry profile, which has improved
significantly since June 2017.
United Kingdom
Although all sectors across the United Kingdom have remained generally
stable, the retail sector has come under increased pressure. While we
are seeing a widely flat trend across all sectors in tenant demand,
the retail sector continues to struggle in terms of both rental growth
expectations and capital value. The office sector is broadly unchanged,
with supply and demand remaining the same; however, the value of
landlord incentives has risen. Industrial has remained an outperformer
in both investment and occupier markets and we remain keen buyers of
logistics and warehousing properties located in good nodes.
A shift towards online spending is increasing pressure on the profit
margins of non-food retailers. High-street retail experienced mixed
results during the Christmas period. For the full calendar year,
Broad Street Mall's footfall was down 0,2% against 2016. This was
a satisfying result considering our largest anchor Argos, which has
vacated, was included in the figure last year. The footfall was above
the national, regional and United Kingdom average.
We work with both new and existing tenants to explore ways to enhance
store presence, shopfronts and new signage. The former Argos space
continues to be the main priority. There have been numerous discussions
and interest in the space. A discount department store, which was
initially shortlisted and offered the space, is now showing interest.
They will want the majority of the Argos space. This discount department
store will add a retail alternative to the mall as well as attract
increased foot traffic to this section of the building. We are pleased
to report that discussions of how to fit out the store are underway. The
re-letting of the Argos space to a discount department store would be a
great addition to both Broad Street Mall and Reading. Importantly, it
would add support to the trading propositions of existing retailers as
they approach expiry dates over the next 36 months.
While terms were being discussed, an urban pop-up "unboxed" Christmas
market was set up in the vacant space during Christmas trade. This new
offering of independent start-up local traders bolstered footfall over
this key trading period.
The Broad Street Mall joint venture acquired the adjacent building,
previously a nightclub which had undergone a lease surrender. This has
allowed the demolition plans to be fast-tracked. The space will be
incorporated into the urban market concept on South Court – the Box
Park idea for which planning permission has been received. We look
forward to seeing this project progress and welcoming our new tenants.
The mall's food and beverage offering was further improved during the
last quarter, with Fernando's on Oxford Road having completed its
refit and rebranding. It has been reopened to the public and well
received.
Lease expiry profile
Between July and December 2017, Texton successfully concluded 14 new
leases amounting to 2 489 m2. In the same period, 32 existing leases
were renewed, amounting to 43 154 m2. This is pleasing given our focused
and proactive approach to tenant retention in a challenging market.
Texton's lease expiry profile has improved significantly since June 2017
when it was reported that 42% of leases (by revenue) expire in the 2018
financial year. This figure has reduced to 14,3%. The weighted average
lease expiry is 4,1 years.

Greening initiatives
Texton will continue to focus on sustainable business and greening
initiatives. Cape Town's water crisis means that landlords need to
prioritise water-saving measures that reduce water consumption as
Day Zero approaches. Texton has put various measures at our properties
situated in the Western Cape. Our property at 14 Loop Street is a
prime example, utilising various water-saving measures such as
grey-water tanks, waterless urinals and dual flush toilets. At this
property, water consumption is negligible. Vunani Chambers has devised
contingency plans, including the provision of bottled water and coolers
and replacing sanitaryware in the ablution facilities to limit flushing.
Texton has agreed terms with a supplier to install a solar plant at
Kempstar Mall in Kempton Park. Following the installation of SMART
meters across the portfolio in 2016 and after careful analysis, this
site was identified as a good opportunity based on the electricity
consumption and load profile. The installation will be complete by
May 2018 and savings will be funnelled towards further initiatives.
Capital management
During the interim period, we renewed facilities with Standard Bank
totalling R285 million with tenures of two and three years. We are
proactively engaging with the banks on rolling existing facilities
well in advance of expiry, and have engaged with several banks to
establish relationships to further diversify the lending portfolio.
Texton is considering the realignment of capital management so that
UK assets are financed with UK debt and South African assets are
financed with South African debt. In line with this strategy, we are
in the process of finalising a GBP10 million facility with HSBC.

The Board has reaffirmed the interest rate hedging strategy that
at least 80% of borrowings must be hedged against interest rate
risk. Texton is 85% hedged.
The Fund has an average cost of debt of 9,22% on its South African
debt and 3,24% on its United Kingdom debt.
Currency
The closing exchange rate at 31 December 2017 was R16,71: GBP1
(December 2016: R16,91: GBP1; June 2017: R17,04: GBP1) and the
average exchange rate for the six months ended 31 December 2017
was R17,67: GBP1 (December 2016: R17,69: GBP1; June 2017:
R17,26: GBP1).
Texton has hedged its currency exposure through various derivative
instruments. It is the Board's policy to hedge the net property income
from the UK assets for one year ahead which is in line with Texton's
budgeting period.

Stated capital and shares repurchased
In considering the yield at which Texton shares have been trading,
combined with the scarcity of good quality, well-priced property
opportunities, the Board opted to buy back Texton shares. In the
period, 933 589 Texton shares were acquired at a weighted average
price of R6,40.
There are 376 066 766 ordinary shares of no par value in issue
(June 2017 and December 2016: 376 066 766). The Group holds
10 428 348 (June 2017 and December 2016: 10 428 348) treasury
shares via the staff incentive scheme trust. Treasury shares held
by Discus House Proprietary Limited, a subsidiary of Texton,
amount to 16 243 865 (June 2017: 15 310 276; December 2016:
15 310 276) shares, bringing the total treasury shares
held to 26 672 213 (June 2017: 25 738 624).
The Company's share structure is in line with international best
practice for REITs.
Texton post internalisation
The asset management agreement was cancelled at a cost of R180 million,
effective 30 September 2017. The internalisation of the asset management
function has been completed and aligns Texton with international
best practice.
Subsequent to the internalisation, management, in consultation with
the Audit and Risk Committee has performed an extensive review of
service providers and a number of changes have been made and contracts
renegotiated. Management has also implemented a cost rationalisation
strategy, however, the results of this will only be evident in the
second half of the financial year.
The total costs of the internalisation, excluding the cost to cancel
the contract, amounted to R1,9 million and are considered
non-distributable.
Strategic review
As communicated to shareholders via SENS announcements, the Board
undertook a strategic review towards the end of the 2017 financial
year and various alternatives were considered and investigated,
including a possible merger. Texton decided not to pursue the
opportunities presented to it in terms of the merger or the disposal
of various properties. Texton does not need a transaction in order
to survive and executive management and the Board are focused on
growing Texton in an organic manner.
Preparation and accounting policies
The Board takes full responsibility for the preparation of the
condensed unaudited consolidated interim financial statements.
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, Financial
Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards
Council, the listings requirements of the JSE Limited ("the JSE Listings
Requirements") and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended
30 June 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. These
results were prepared under the supervision of the Financial Director,
Inge Pick CA(SA).
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed
consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with the
accounting policies applied in the preparation of the previous
consolidated financial statements. The Group has adopted all the new,
revised or amended accounting pronouncements as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), which were effective
for the Group from 1 July 2017, none of which had a material impact
on the Group.
The Group's investment properties are valued internally using the
capitalisation of net income method 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 6,59% and 9,21%.
Changes in the capitalisation rate attributable to changes in market
conditions can have a significant impact on property valuations. A 50
basis points increase in the capitalisation rate will decrease the value
of investment property by R306 million. A 50 basis points decrease in the
capitalisation rate will increase the value of investment property by
R345 million.
In terms of IAS 39: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and
IFRS 7, the Group's currency and interest rate derivatives are measured
at fair value through profit or loss and are categorised as level 2 investments.
The fair value of the currency derivatives was R109,8 million (June 2017:
R82,9 million; December 2016: R63,1 million) and the fair value of the
interest rate derivative net liability derivatives was R3,9 million
(June 2017: R1,8 million; December 2016: R4,0 million). These fair values
were determined using valuation techniques that present value the net cash
flows. These cash flows are based on observable market data.
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 Board is not aware of any matters or circumstances arising subsequent
to December 2017 that require any additional disclosure or adjustment to
the financial statements.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been audited
or reviewed by Texton's auditors.
Prospects
Low economic growth associated with the current South African environment
coupled with economic uncertainty in the UK has perpetuated a challenging
operating environment for Texton. While the Company is defensively
positioned, downward pressure on rentals, combined with a sluggish economy
impacting tenants, has resulted in a low growth environment for Texton.
Texton continues to focus on active asset management to ensure tenant
retention and improved efficiencies as well as the filling of our vacancies.
Texton continues to explore possibilities to increase exposure to prime
industrial assets in South Africa and reduce the office exposure because
we recognise that, from an acquisition perspective, high-yield assets in
the industrial sector are limited. We have continued the disposal of
smaller assets, below the R50 million threshold, which are management
intensive.
With Texton's lease expiry profile for the 2018 financial year having
reduced significantly to 14,3%, it remains the core focus of the asset
management team to proactively engage with tenants and finalise lease
renewals.

number 13 of 47,95 cents per share for the interim six-month period to

year interim dividend.

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 Group accounted for its share of the assets, liabilities and results of
the joint venture in which Broad Street Mall is held on a proportionately
consolidated basis instead of equity accounting for 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
Texton's auditors.
Directors' responsibility statement
The preparation of the management accounts is the sole responsibility of the
directors and they have been prepared on the basis stated, for illustrative
purposes only, to show the impact on the condensed consolidated unaudited
statement of financial position and the condensed consolidated unaudited
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.
