CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 AUGUST 2018
DIRECTORS' COMMENTARY
Nature of business
Newpark is a property holding and investment company that is currently invested in A-grade commercial and industrial properties.
Property portfolio
Newpark's property portfolio consists of four properties. Two are located in the heart of Sandton, Gauteng, namely the JSE Building
which has 18,163 m2 of gross lettable area ("GLA") and an adjoining property known as 24 Central, which has 15,656 m2 of GLA.
A further property is situated in Linbro Business Park which has 12,317 m2 of GLA and the fourth property is situated in Crown Mines
which has 11,277 m2 of GLA. The combined valuations of these properties prepared by the registered property valuer are performed
annually at the group's year-end. The latest valuation as at 28 February 2018 was R1.38 billion.
Strategy
Newpark's investment strategy is to seek well positioned prime commercial and industrial properties which provide quality cash
flows with the potential of upward rating on lease renewals and/or redevelopment opportunities within the medium to long-term.
In addition to the core business of acquiring and developing physical assets in South Africa, Newpark continues to explore the
potential for investment into real estate that offers good value in certain offshore markets that align with our investment philosophy.
Commentary on results
The Group's results for the six month period under review came under increased pressure impacted by further vacancies in the
Group's mixed use asset in Sandton, 24 Central, resulting in the Group's vacancies increasing during the period to 17.4% (FY2018:
11.2%; prior comparable period H1 FY2018: 4.8%). The vacancies, which started to increase during the six months to 28 February
2018 continued further with a large tenant decided to consolidate its office footprint into their main office space. Expense controls
were applied to mitigate the impact of this loss of revenue but could not compensate entirely for the impact on distributable
earnings.
The increased vacancies caused the revenue to decline to R67.0 million (H1 FY2018: R71.1 million), a decrease of 5.8%. Besides the
vacancies at 24 Central, the tenant profile has remained largely the same and no acquisitions or disposals were made during this
period.
Distributable earnings
Distributable earnings for the six months to 31 August 2018 declined by 6.4% to 24.95 cents per share (H1 FY2018: 26.65 cents per
share). Accordingly, the board of directors ("the Board") has declared an interim dividend of 24.94859 cents per share.

Interest rate & Percentage of debt hedged
The all-in weighted average cost of funding is 9.542% (28 February 2018: 9.478%) and the average hedge-term is 1.8 years. It is the
board's policy to hedge at least 70% of the exposure to interest rate risk and Newpark currently has 80% of its exposure hedged.

Outlook
As a result of the increased vacancies in the Group's mixed use segment the Board has decided to revise the outlook for distributable
earnings performance for the full year ending 28 February 2019 downwards from an increase in distributable earnings of between
6.0% and 8.0% to a decrease in distributable earnings of between 6.0% and 8.0% compared with the 12 months ended 28 February 2018.
The outlook for FY2019 previously communicated to the market is no longer expected to be achievable due to the changes in market
conditions and the direct impact this had on the Group's vacancy profile. The board remains mindful of the current pressures
experienced by tenants in the mixed-use (retail and office) segment, manifesting in higher than desired vacancies for the short-term.
Newpark will continue to focus on a disciplined approach to the acquisition of high quality properties that offer meaningful growth
in both capital and income. In the year ahead, the emphasis will be on closing a number of the transactions that are in the current
pipeline in order to grow the portfolio in a manner that is value enhancing for shareholders.
The revised forecast is based on no further material vacancies at 24 Central and the assumption that a stable macro-economic
environment will prevail, no material tenant default will occur, operating cost increases will not exceed inflation and no changes will

5. Payment of interim dividend
The board has approved and notice is hereby given of the interim gross dividend of 24.94859 cents per share for the six months
ended 31 August 2018.
The dividend is payable to Newpark's shareholders in accordance with the timetable set out below: 2018
Last date to trade cum dividend: Tuesday, 30 October
Shares trade ex dividend: Wednesday, 31 October
Record date: Friday, 2 November
Payment date: Monday, 5 November
Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday, 31 October 2018 and Friday, 2 November
2018, both days inclusive.
The dividend will be transferred to dematerialised shareholders' CSDP accounts/broker accounts on Monday, 5 November 2018.
Certificated shareholders' dividend payments will be paid to certificated shareholders' bank accounts on or about Monday,
5 November 2018.
In accordance with Newpark'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 dividend will be deemed
to be a dividend for South African tax purposes, in terms of section 25BB of the Income Tax Act.
The dividend received by or accrued to South African tax residents must be included in the gross income of such shareholders and
will not be exempt from income tax (in terms of the exclusion to the general dividend exemption, contained in paragraph (aa) of
section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Income Tax Act) because it is a dividend distributed by a REIT. This dividend is, however, exempt from
dividend withholding tax in the hands of South African tax resident shareholders, provided that the South African resident
shareholders submitted the following forms to their Central Securities Depository Participant ("CSDP") or broker, as the case may
be, in respect of uncertificated shares, or the company, in respect of certificated shares:
a) a declaration that the dividend is exempt from dividends tax; and
b) a written undertaking to inform the CSDP, broker or the Company, as the case may be, should the circumstances affecting
the exemption change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner,
both in the form prescribed by the Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service. Shareholders are advised to contact their
CSDP, broker or the Company, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to payment
of the dividend, if such documents have not already been submitted.
Dividends received by non-resident shareholders will not be taxable as income and instead will be treated as an ordinary dividend
which is exempt from income tax in terms of the general dividend exemption in section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Income Tax Act. Any
dividends received by a non-resident from a REIT will be subject to dividend withholding tax at 20%, unless the rate is reduced in
terms of any applicable agreement for the avoidance of double taxation ("DTA") between South Africa and the country of residence
of the shareholders. Assuming dividend withholding tax will be withheld at a rate of 20%, the net dividend amount due to non-
resident shareholders is 19.95887 cents per share. A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA, may only be
relied upon if the non-resident shareholder, has submitted the following forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, in
respect of uncertificated shares, or the Company, in respect of certificated shares:
a) a declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the application of a DTA; and
b) a written undertaking to inform their CSDP, broker or the Company, as the case may be, should the circumstances affecting
the reduced rate change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner,
both in the form prescribed by the Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service. Non-resident shareholders are advised to
contact their CSDP, broker or the Company, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted
prior to payment of the dividend if such documents have not already been submitted, if applicable.
Shares in issue at the date of declaration of dividend: 100,000,001
Newpark's income tax reference number: 9114003149.
