                                                                                               (Note 1)

Note 1:
A restatement of the comparative results was required due to the realisation that material transactions
in prior periods did not contribute to the accurate reporting of the results and financial position of the
group.

Prior Period Errors
Significant errors in the application of IFRS arose in previous reporting periods.
Users of these interim financial results are referred to the Integrated Report for the year ended
29 February 2016 for the root causes of the prior year errors as contained in note 5 of the Consolidated
Annual     Financial     Statements which are available   on    the     Company’s    website:
www.freedomprop.co.za/Results/ and the link to the detailed interims as set out below.

Modified review opinion
The Company’s auditors, Moore Stephens Cape Town Inc., issued a qualified audit opinion for the year
ended 29 February 2016. The reason for the qualification relates to Ligitprops 184 Proprietary Limited.
This matter also affects these consolidated interim financial statements and as a result also include a
qualified review opinion, an extract of which is set out below:

“Basis for qualified conclusion
The group acquired Ligitprops 184 Proprietary Limited on 1 March 2014.
We were unable to complete our review on the values of certain of the subsidiary’s material assets and
liabilities at acquisition. Had we been able to complete our review of these account balances, matters
might have come to our attention that adjustments might be necessary to the interim financial
information.

Qualified conclusion
Based on our review, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Conclusion
section of our report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements of Freedom Property Fund Limited for the six-month
period ended 31 August 2016 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the
International Financial Reporting Standard, (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the SAICA Financial
Reporting Guides as issues by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as
issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and the requirements of the Companies Act of
South Africa.”

A copy of the modified review opinion is available on the Company’s website:
www.freedomprop.co.za/Results/.

Reportable Irregularities
The Company has not, in terms of section 30(1) of the Companies Act 2008 prepared, within the
relevant timeframe, the annual results for the years ended 28 February 2017, 28 February 2018 and
28 February 2019, nor provided any notices of annual general meetings to shareholders.
The Company is not aware of any other reportable irregularity.

No dividends were declared or paid during the period under review or during the comparative period.
