UNAUDITED RESULTS For the 6 months ended 28 February 2022

INTRODUCTION
Rebosis is a JSE listed real estate investment trust (REIT) with a high quality diversified portfolio across 
commercial and retail assets. The majority of its commercial income enjoys a sovereign underpin from national, 
provincial and local government departments across 35 buildings. The retail portfolio has a mix of regional and 
super regional malls, spread across Gauteng and the Eastern Cape.

FINANCIAL RESULTS
Net property income decreased by 6% when compared on a like-for-like basis to the comparative period. This is 
mainly due to vacancies on spaces that were occupied in February 2021. 

The distributable income before tax excluding once-off items increased from a R71.3 million loss to a R72.5 million 
income. The increase in the distributable income is due to the lower finance costs when comparing year on year 
R358 million (2021: R516 million), this was mainly driven by the lower repo rate. Other operating expenses also 
decreased to R76 million (2021: R94.5 million), this was driven by no expenses being incurred for the deferred 
payment liability.

All interest-bearing borrowings have been disclosed as short-term portion due to the group breaching its loan covenants.
Management has successfully renewed its facilities with Nedbank, Standard Bank and Investec for a further 6 months, the 
extension was negotiated in March and April 2022.

The loan with Rand Merchant Bank of R242.9 million expired on 31 August 2021 (February 2022: R242.9 million) and the 
facility has not been renewed. Negotiations are still underway to renew the facility up to 31 August 2022. At the 
time of the release of the interim results, the loan had not been recalled.

The uncertainty of the renewal of the loan may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a 
going concern.

The portfolio including investment property held for sale is valued at R13.0 billion (2021: R13.1 billion). 
This signifies a R156 million drop in the value of the properties. The commercial portfolio is reflecting a R22 million 
decrease in value. This is attributable to reversionary rentals on government tenanted properties as well as vacancies 
that have taken longer to materialise.

The retail portfolio has the most significant change with a negative fair value adjustment of R134 million. The decline 
is mainly due to an increase in vacancies that were not previously anticipated predominantly in Forest Hill City and 
Sunnypark shopping center.

As previously announced via a SENS "Update on the disposal of a portfolio of property assets" released 25 March 2022, 
the disposal transaction value had decreased to an aggregate cash consideration of R3.35 billion (Aug 21: R6.3 billion) 
due to the reduction in the sale portfolio through the 11 rental enterprises (Originally 32 rental enterprises).

The fair value figures reflect a sum effect of R3.3 billion which is lower than the aggregate cash consideration.

DECLARATION AND PAYMENT OF CASH DIVIDEND
The Rebosis board has resolved not to declare an interim dividend for the 6 months ended 28 February 2022 
(28 February 2021: Nil). As per the REIT requirements the board is required to perform the solvency and liquidity 
test (as defined in the Companies Act) when considering payment of a distribution. This test was performed and based
on management's assessment, the company is currently solvent but not liquid and therefore unable to make payment.
