NOTES TO SUMMARISED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of these audited summarised consolidated financial statements was supervised by the Chief
Financial Officer, BJ Kriel CA(SA).
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these audited summarised consolidated results for the
year ended 30 June 2018, which are based on reasonable judgements and estimates, are in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and are consistent with those applied in the annual
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017. Any other new and amendments to IFRS and IFRIC
interpretations did not impact on the financial position or performance of the company but has resulted in
additional disclosures. These audited summarised consolidated results, as set out in this report, have been
prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of IFRS
and containing the information required by IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, the SAICA Financial Reporting
Guidelines as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by
the Financial Reporting Council, the Companies Act of South Africa, No. 71 of 2008, as amended ("Companies Act")
and the Listings Requirements of JSE Limited.
This announcement does not include the information required pursuant to paragraph 16A(j) of IAS 34. The full Annual
Financial Statements is available at the company's registered office upon request.
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. Interest
rate derivatives are valued using discounted cash flow techniques and observable market interest rates off the
interest rate yield curve. There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.
The revaluation of investment property requires judgement in the determination of future cash flows from
leases. An appropriate capitalisation rate which varies between 9.25% and 10.75%, with a discount rate
of between 14.00% and 15.25% was used.
Changes in the capitalisation and discount rates are attributable to changes in market conditions and can
have a significant impact on the property valuations. A 25 basis points decrease in the capitalisation rate
will increase the value of investment property by R50.9 million. A 25 basis points increase in the discount
rate will decrease the value of investment property by R23.6 million.
These audited summarised consolidated results for the year ended 30 June 2018 have been prepared in
accordance with the historic cost basis, except for the measurement of investment properties and certain
financial assets and financial liabilities which are stated at fair value.
The financial results are presented in Rands, which is Fairvest's functional and presentation currency and
have been prepared on a going-concern basis.
AUDIT REPORT
The audited summarised consolidated results for the year ended 30 June 2018 set out in this
announcement, have been extracted from the group's consolidated annual financial statements
which have been audited by BDO South Africa Inc, but are not themselves audited. A copy
of their unmodified audit opinion is available for inspection at the company's registered office.
Any reference to future financial performance included in this announcement has not been reviewed or reported
on by the company's auditors.
The directors take full responsibility for the preparation of the audited summarised consolidated results presented
and that the financial information has been correctly extracted from the underlying financial statements.
ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS
Except for the measurement of investment properties, and certain financial assets and financial liabilities the
financial statements do not include any material estimates.
BUSINESS COMBINATION
Shareholders are referred to the detailed SENS announcement on 19 December 2017 regarding
the subscription of shares by the company in Bara Precinct Proprietary Limited ("Bara Precinct").
On 18 December 2017, the company subscribed for 50.17% of the shares in Bara Precinct, obtaining control
and Bara Precinct became a subsidiary of the company.
Bara Precinct owns five and leases two immovable properties in Diepkloof, Soweto. The transaction is in
line with Fairvest's strategy of acquiring assets servicing the lower living standards measure (LSM) market,
located in non-metropolitan areas, as well as rural, convenience and community shopping centres located in
high-growth nodes, close to commuter networks, with a view to providing shareholders with attractive returns
and distinctive, diversified opportunities.
The subscription consideration to the value of R82.5 million was cash paid on 18 December 2017.

The fair value of the investment properties and the non-controlling interest at acquisition were calculated
utilising the capitalisation rate method.
Transaction costs of R3.4 million were incurred on the acquisition and have been recognised in profit or loss.
From the date of acquisition, the Bara Precinct transaction contributed R18.1 million to contractual rental
income and R17.9 million to the comprehensive income attributable to shareholders. If the acquisition
had taken place at the beginning of the reporting period, rental income would have been R49.4 million
and comprehensive income attributable to shareholders for the group would have been R2.2 million
for the reporting period.
COMMENTARY
INTRODUCTION
Fairvest is a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"), with a unique focus on retail assets weighted toward non-
metropolitan and rural shopping centres, as well as convenience and community shopping centres servicing
the lower LSM market, in high-growth nodes, close to commuter networks. The Fairvest property portfolio
consists of 44 properties, with 237 965m2 of lettable area and valued at R2.99 billion.
REVIEW OF RESULTS
Fairvest's board of directors is pleased to announce a 10.28% increase in the final dividend distribution to
10.344 cents per share for the six months ended 30 June 2018, which brings the total combined dividend
for the year to 20.150 cents per share, resulting in a 9.91% increase from the previous year and maintaining
distribution growth within the issued guidance of 9% to 10%.

Jun 15 7.427 7.679 15.106

Jun 17 8.953 9.380 18.333
Jun 18 9.806 10.344 20.150
Revenue increased by 22.1% to R404.3 million, as a result of income growth in the historic portfolio, as well
as acquisitions during the period. Net profit from property operations increased by 26.4% to R264.7 million,
while corporate administration expenses increased by 29.1% to R25.0 million. Distributable earnings increased
by 29.9% to R186.9 million.
A strong focus remains on cost containment and efficient recoveries of municipal charges, which improved the
net property expense ratio (expenses net of utility recoveries) to 13.0% compared to 15.5% for the previous
financial year. Certain municipal expenses provided for in the previous financial years, that were lower than
anticipated also contributed to the large improvement. Gross cost to income ratio reduced from 37.6% to 36.4%.
The weighted average contractual escalation for the portfolio remained unchanged at 7.4%. Gross
rentals across the portfolio trended upwards, with a 7.9% increase in the weighted average rental to
R112.50/m2 at 30 June 2018 compared to R103.99/m(2) at 30 June 2017. This was as a result of
a significant increase in rental achieved on new leases, slightly offset by a 6.9% increase on renewals.
The weighted average retail rental increased to R110.91/m(2).
The net asset value increased by 31.0% to R2.26 billion compared to R1.72 billion at 30 June 2017.
On a per share basis, this equates to 227.78 cents per share, or an increase of 4.4%.

R181.4 million, the development of Southview Shopping Centre to the value of R92.9 million, together with
capital expenditure incurred of R65.8 million. The historic portfolio increased by 7.4% compared to 30 June
2017. Asset quality continues to improve, with the average value per property increasing by 26.3% to R67.8

In line with the accounting policy of the group, at least a third of the portfolio was valued by independent
external valuers. Of the 44 properties in the portfolio, 15 properties equating to 37.3% by value, were valued
by independent valuers, DDP Valuers, De Leeuw Valuers and Jones Lang LaSalle, with the remainder valued by
the directors. All properties are valued by independent external valuers at least every three years. The properties
are valued using a combination of a five-year discounted cash flow and the income capitalisation method.
Assumptions are made on the discount rates used to determine the present value of the cash flows and on the
capitalisation rate on an assumed sale. The weighted average discount rate used was 14.7% compared to
15.0% in 2017 and the weighted average capitalisation rate used remained unchanged at 10.2%.
ACQUISITIONS
Shareholders are referred to Fairvest's various SENS announcements, regarding certain acquisitions by the
company. Three new properties were obtained during the period.

DEVELOPMENT OF SOUTHVIEW SHOPPING CENTRE
As communicated to shareholders on 8 November 2017, Fairvest entered into a strategic relationship
with Abland Proprietary Limited ("Abland") in a newly incorporated subsidiary, Southview Shopping
Centre Proprietary Limited, of which Fairvest owns 50% of the shares. A vacant plot of land was acquired
in Soshanguve, Gauteng to develop a 7 620m2 shopping centre, anchored by Shoprite. Abland will
guarantee a 10% commencement yield on the development, for five years escalating at 7% annually.
Practical completion was achieved on 18 June 2018. The total development cost on the project amounted
to R92.9 million and the property was valued at R96.8 million at 30 June 2018.
VALUE CREATION
The Shoprite extension and redevelopment at Macassar Shopping Centre was completed during the year,
with capital expenditure to the value of R28.1 million being incurred.
At Middestad Mall phase 1 of the redevelopment was completed, which included upgrading the lighting,
ceilings and walkways on the ground-floor retail section. The complete redevelopment of the first floor also
commenced during the year and is expected to complete by October 2018. Total capital expenditure incurred
to date amounted to R18.9 million, with a further R25 million expected to be incurred.

Western Cape, Free State and Gauteng contributing 76.6% of revenue. The high national tenant component
of 74.4% of the portfolio provides shareholders with a low risk investment profile, with national food retailers
occupying 33.8% of the portfolio.
Vacancies decreased from 4.7% to 3.5% or 8 255m2 during the year, mainly as a result of the letting of
vacancies at Middestad Mall, Clubview and Masingita, partly offset by new vacancies at The Palms and
Bara Precinct.

raising R115.0 million of new equity.
Shareholders are referred to the company's SENS announcements dated 9 October 2017 and 9 April 2018,
regarding the issuing of 12 289 474 and 16 284 045 new ordinary shares which were issued through the
dividend reinvestment alternative. The shares were issued at R1.90591 and R2.08524 per share respectively
resulting in the retention of R57.4 million of equity.
On 25 April 2018, Fairvest placed 113 636 363 new ordinary shares through a combination of a vendor
consideration placement and a general issue of shares for cash at an issue price of R2.20 per share, raising
R250.0 million of new equity.
BORROWINGS
The loan to value ("LTV") ratio increased to 25.1% (2017: 24.4%) due to the acquisitions during the period,
partially offset by the capital raised. LTV is calculated as total interest-bearing debt divided by total property
assets. Of the debt 45.9% was fixed through swaps as at 30 June 2018, with a weighted average expiry
for the fixed debt of 24 months. The various floating rate loans advanced at 30 June 2018, improves the
effective hedged position to 80.4%.
The weighted average all-in cost of funding decreased to 9.16% (2017: 9.46%). The weighted average
maturity of debt increased from 15 months to 17 months. Discussions on the renewal of various expiring
facilities are in progress with funders and we expect the maturity profile of debt to improve and available
facilities to increase during the next financial year.
PROSPECTS
The company will continue to provide shareholders with exposure to attractive retail assets servicing an
underserviced, non-metropolitan and lower LSM market. Against the backdrop of a lacklustre economic outlook
for South Africa, we expect to see weaker trading performance from our tenants. In spite of macroeconomic
headwinds, the portfolio with its low-risk tenant base remains well positioned to continue to achieve strong
sustainable property growth. We will remain conservatively geared and continue our endeavours to improve
the fixed portion of debt to minimise the impact of interest rate increases. Management expects distribution
growth of between 8% and 10% for the 2019 financial year.
This view assumes no material deterioration in the macroeconomic environment relative to current levels, that
no major corporate failures will occur and that tenants will be able to absorb increases in municipal and utility
costs. Forecast rental income is based on contractual lease terms and anticipated market-related renewals. This
forecast is the responsibility of the board of Fairvest and has not been reviewed or reported on by the auditors.
DIVIDEND WITH ELECTION TO REINVEST
The board has approved and declared a final gross distribution of 10.344 cents per share for the six-month
period ended 30 June 2018, payable to shareholders registered as such at the close of business on Friday,
5 October 2018.
Shareholders will be entitled, in respect of all or part of their shareholdings, to elect to reinvest the cash
dividend of 10.344 cents per share, in return for new Fairvest ordinary shares ("Reinvestment Alternative"),
failing which they will receive the cash dividend.
Further details regarding the dividend and Reinvestment Alternative, including the tax treatment and a detailed
timetable, will be included in a separate SENS announcement, to be released today, 4 September 2018.
In accordance with Fairvest's status as a REIT, shareholders are advised that the dividend meets
the requirements of a "qualifying distribution" for the purposes of section 25BB of the Income Tax Act,
No. 58 of 1962 (Income Tax Act). The dividends on the shares will be deemed to be taxable dividends for
South African tax purposes in terms of section 25BB of the Income Tax Act.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

arising between 30 June 2018 and this report which may materially affect the financial position of the group
or the results of its operation.
