COMMENTARY

MARKET CONDITIONS

The South African economy has experienced a period of protracted uncertainty. Our tenants continued to feel the effects of the challenging environment and this is
reflected in higher vacancies and lower rental rates. Notwithstanding the challenging environment and the pressure that certain of our listed holdings have come under,
Arrowhead is pleased with the performance of its direct property portfolio which has been in line with expectation.

In May 2019 South Africa held a general election which resulted in a fairly comfortable victory for the governing party. As a consequence some economic recovery is
expected, the timing of which still remains uncertain. We remain focused in South Africa and believe that even if it takes a couple of years, South Africa will see an
economic revival and we are positioning our business to benefit when this occurs.

REVENUE

Revenue includes rental income and expenditure that is recoverable from tenants.

At 31 March 2019 Arrowhead owned 49 commercial properties directly, 163 commercial properties indirectly through Gemgrow and 176 residential properties indirectly
through Indluplace. At 30 September 2018, Arrowhead owned 49 commercial properties directly, 135 commercial properties indirectly through Gemgrow and
176 residential properties indirectly through Indluplace.

The increase in revenue is mainly as a result of income derived from acquisitions implemented during the period at Gemgrow and Indluplace.

As at 31 March 2019 Arrowhead's direct property portfolio comprised of 61% by value of retail properties, 31% of office buildings and 8% of industrial buildings. The average
gross monthly rental per m? per sector is R141 for retail, R113 for office and R47 for industrial. Gross rental includes parking, operational cost recoveries and rates
recoveries. The average net monthly rental per m? per sector is R124 for retail, R84 for office and R44 for industrial. Escalations on expiry were 2.5% positive overall,
0.3% retail, 4.2% office and industrial was negative (15.3%). Average lease escalation was 7.15% for retail, 7.69% for office and 7.94% for industrial. Average lease expiry
was 3.85 years. In the first six months 28 493m2 came up for renewal, of which 19 849m2 was renewed, representing 70%. Of the remaining 8 644m2, 2 681m2 was re-let.
In aggregate 79% of the GLA expiring was retained in the period.

In what has been a very challenging economic environment we have experienced positive letting activity and performance from the direct portfolio. Vacancies have
increased from 7.9% at 30 September 2018 to 8.6% at 31 March 2019 (retail 6.6%, office 13.2% and industrial 5.0%), in line with expectations.

LISTED SECURITIES DIVIDEND
Listed securities dividend comprises dividend received on shares held in Dipula and Rebosis. During the current financial period, Arrowhead's holding in Rebosis shares
(16.4%) and Dipula (8.6%) remained in line with 30 September 2018. We have not disposed of any Dipula or Rebosis shares in this period.

Rebosis has not declared a dividend for the interim period ended February 2019 and has communicated that it will declare a dividend for the full year ending 31 August 2019.
We were mindful of the challenges that Rebosis faced and in November 2018 communicated what our dividend forecast for the 2019 financial year would be excluding any
contribution from our Rebosis stake.

Operating costs have increased in line with expectations mainly due to the acquisitions implemented by Gemgrow and Indluplace during the period. The gross expense to
income ratio has increased to 40% due to higher than inflationary increases for services from municipal councils. The net expense to income ratio increased to 18%.

The salaries for the group grew mainly due to an increased headcount. Staff incentives relating to Gemgrow were previously provided for at the end of the year, whereas
during this six-month period Gemgrow has forecast for this cost to be spread proportionately throughout the current financial year. There has been an increase in
professional fees as we had engaged advisors regarding Arrowhead's holding of listed securities, obtaining advice on the implementation of the employee incentive
scheme and other advisory services.

of B shares in Gemgrow, as well as the Gemgrow Share Purchase and Option Scheme.

LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS OF GROUP SHARE PURCHASE AND OPTION SCHEMES
This is in respect of loans to the participants of the Arrowhead, Indluplace and Gemgrow Share Purchase and Option Schemes and the loans to the Gemgrow group
executives for the purpose of funding the purchase of B shares in Gemgrow. The increase from R736.8 million to R778.3 million is as a result of shares issued to
participants of the Indluplace share purchase schemes and the shares to the Gemgrow executives to the value of R38.8 million. The loans bear interest either at the
company's effective rate of borrowings (in respect of earlier loans in Arrowhead) or bear interest at a rate equal to the dividend of the company (in respect of more
recent loans in Arrowhead, Gemgrow and Indluplace) and are secured by a pledge of the shares.

On 6 February 2019, the company announced that the special resolution approving the extension of certain of the loans advanced to the CEO and CFO in order to acquire
1 002 064 shares (the "funded shares") had been withdrawn, due to a lack of shareholder support. At the time the company was involved in preliminary discussions
in relation to the potential merger with Gemgrow and, in the circumstances, the board was not comfortable granting the CEO and CFO clearance to deal in the funded
shares in order to settle the loans. Having taken advice on how best to deal with the situation, the company resolved and confirmed with the executives that (i) the
company would exercise its rights (under the loan agreement) to dispose of the shares in question as soon as circumstances permitted; (ii) until the shares were disposed
of, the shares would remain under the company's control and at its disposal; and (iii) to provide certainty between the parties as to the value to be placed on the funded
shares for the purposes of the repayment of the loan, it was determined (as between the parties) that the prevailing price of R4.75 per share (being the price per share
at close of business on the date concerned) would apply. The difference between the loan and the designated value of the funded shares was repaid by the CEO and
CFO in cash. As the company remains in a closed period it has not yet been in a position to deal in the funded shares. If and when it does so the necessary dealings
announcements will be published on SENS. The company has reserved the right to, subject to all necessary approvals, elect to buy back the funded shares and cancel
them as opposed to disposing of them through the market.

TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
For the six months ended 31 March 2019, trade receivables, deposits, other receivables and payments in advance decreased from R334.3 million to R317.5 million mainly
as a result of stricter debt collection procedures put in place. The provision for doubtful debts increased from R21.6 million to R24.4 million.

SECURED FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
Group loans of R7.0 billion (2018: R6.1 billion) reduced by cash and cash equivalents, measured against investment and financial assets of R16.2 billion (2018: R16.6 billion)
represent a group loan to value ("LTV") of 41.4% (2018: 38.05%) and company LTV of 35.0% (2018: 33.2%). The increase in the LTV is mainly as a result of downward
fair value adjustments on the company's listed holdings, Rebosis and Dipula, to the value of R600 million and the addition of the Moolgem transaction which was
implemented by Gemgrow. The interest rate swaps of R5.2 billion results in 74.3% of the total loans being fixed. The LTV at year end is expected to reduce to around 39%
with the sale of investment properties to the value of R471 million by Arrowhead and Gemgrow.

Excess funds are placed in an access facility to reduce the overall interest charge. The weighted average interest rate for the period ended 31 March 2019 was 9.78%
(30 September 2018: 9.79%) for the group and 9.69% for the company (30 September 2018: 9.64%).

STRATEGY AND PROSPECTS

We continue to position Arrowhead to create long term sustainable value for shareholders by focusing on direct physical property and, over time, divesting of listed
investments that are not part of the Arrowhead group; and by strengthening Arrowhead's balance sheet by reducing gearing, with a short-term target of bringing group
LTV below 35%, without materially impacting earnings.

During the 6 months, Arrowhead's core property portfolio of 49 commercial properties performed well, achieving rental growth of 2.75% (over the six months) before
gearing. This performance, in a difficult environment, highlights the sustainable nature of the income generated by Arrowhead's property portfolio and the benefits of
controlling the performance of one's assets.

This focus on owning physical assets directly and simplifying the group structure, will be further enhanced should the proposed merger with Gemgrow go ahead.
Arrowhead is a long-term holder of Indluplace, which remains a core part of its strategy going forward.

The company intends to reduce, and ultimately, dispose of its holdings in Rebosis and Dipula in the longer term. Although not a seller at current levels, the impact of the
company's holdings in Dipula and Rebosis on distributions is significantly reduced.

No contribution from Rebosis has been included in Arrowhead's distribution guidance and the Rebosis shares are ungeared. As a result, the Rebosis shareholding
represents upside only for Arrowhead.

While income from the company's Dipula shareholding is included in Arrowhead's dividend's guidance, movements in Dipula's dividends have a negligible impact on
Arrowhead ? with every 1 cent (or 1.2%) change in Dipula's dividend per share impacting Arrowhead's distribution by approximately 0.04 cents (or 0.1%).

The company will continue to explore opportunities to unlock value from its holdings in Rebosis and Dipula.

As a 100% South African focused fund, the environment in which Arrowhead operates remains very difficult, but the company has seen an uptick in leads recently and
there is cautious optimism that, with strong leadership and increased policy certainty, economic conditions can improve over time. As a company, we are confident that
we have made the correct, although difficult, strategic decisions, in tough macro-economic circumstances to position the company for sustainable growth going forward
that will create long-term sustainable value for our shareholders.

As stated in the announcement released on 22 May 2019 Arrowhead anticipates that its dividend per share for the year ending 30 September 2019 will be approximately
56 cents per share. The information on which this forecast has been based has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company's auditors.

PAYMENT OF DIVIDEND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2019

The board of directors ("Board") has approved a gross dividend (dividend number 27) of 27.80000 cents per share for the six months ended 31 March 2019 in accordance
with the timetable set out below:
    
                                                     2019
Declaration date                        Wednesday, 29 May
Last date to trade cum dividend          Tuesday, 18 June
Shares trade ex-dividend               Wednesday, 19 June
Record date                               Friday, 21 June
Payment date                              Monday, 24 June

Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday, 19 June 2019 and Friday, 21 June 2019, both days inclusive. Payment of the dividend will
be made to shareholders on Monday, 24 June 2019. In respect of dematerialised shareholders, the dividend will be transferred to the Central Securities Depositary Participant
("CSDP") accounts/broker accounts on Monday, 24 June 2019. Certificated shareholders' dividend payments will be deposited on or about Monday, 24 June 2019.

In accordance with Arrowhead's status as a REIT, shareholders are advised that the dividends meet 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 distributions on the shares 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 they are dividends
distributed by a REIT. These dividends are, however, exempt from dividend withholding tax in the hands of South African tax resident shareholders, provided that the
South African resident shareholders provided 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 above-mentioned 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 ordinary dividends which are exempt from income tax
in terms of the general dividend exemption in section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Income Tax Act. On 22 February 2017, dividends withholding tax was increased from 15% to
20% and accordingly, 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 22,24000 cents per share. A reduced dividend
withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA, may only be relied on if the non-resident shareholder has provided 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 dividends are 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 above-mentioned documents to be submitted prior to payment of the dividend if such documents have not already
been submitted, if applicable.

Shareholders are encouraged to consult their professional advisors should they be in any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.

recent past, being the previous 12 months, a material effect on the group's financial position.
