NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                                               
The condensed consolidated reviewed financial statements have been prepared in  
accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act (Act 61 of 1973). The     
results have been prepared and presented in accordance with International       
Accounting Standards IAS34, Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies
adopted and methods of computation are consistent with those applied in the     
financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2007 except for amendments to 
IAS1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: 
Disclosures. These standards affect financial statement disclosures and have no 
impact on the Group`s financial results for the year.                           
In order to comply with International Financial Reporting Standards, deferred   
taxation on the fair value adjustment of investment property has been provided  
at the company income taxation rate which is currently 28% and not at the       
Capital Gains Tax rate of 14%, which would be payable if properties were sold.  
Related party:  City Property Administration (Proprietary) Limited is           
responsible for the property and asset management of the group.                 
Contingent liability:  The company has issued guarantees of R1 690 000 and R582 
000 to the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality and City Power - Johannesburg      
respectively for the provision of services to its subsidiaries. The company has 
given surety to Nedbank Property Finance, which at year end amounted to R62 640 
000, in favour of its associate company, IPS Investments (Pty) Limited.         
Independent review by external auditors - These condensed consolidated financial
statements have been reviewed by our auditors Deloitte and Touche.  A copy of   
their unmodified opinion is available for inspection at the company`s registered
office.                                                                         
COMMENTS                                                                        
Review of results                                                               
Notwithstanding the challenging trading conditions, the directors of Octodec are
pleased to report that the company has once again achieved excellent growth in  
distributions to linked unitholders.  Rental income and net rental income       
increased by 19.1% and 14.6% respectively.                                      
Octodec paid an interim distribution of 61,6 cents per linked unit. The total   
distribution per linked unit for the year of 122,6 cents (2007:  106,2 cents)   
represents an increase of 15.4% on that paid in the previous corresponding      
period.                                                                         
A substantial saving in finance costs was achieved as a result of the issue of  
additional units towards the end of the previous financial year.  This together 
with the benefits of the redevelopment of properties, favourable renewal of     
leases and strict expense control have all contributed to the growth in         
distributable earnings. The core portfolio, representing those properties held  
for 12 comparable months, reflects rental income growth of 8,7%. The retail     
portfolio which comprises five quality shopping centres, continued to enjoy     
growth in rental income, although at a slower rate than previous years.         
Bad debt increased during the period from 1.5% to 1.7% of revenue. Management   
continues to focus on the policies and procedures relating to the collection of 
rent.                                                                           
Octodec continued to unlock the value of its Johannesburg and Pretoria CBD      
portfolios by the redevelopment and refurbishment thereof.  Construction was    
completed at Fine Art to refurbish this mixed use property at a cost of R10     
million.  The residential component of the property is close to being fully let.
The Tiny Town residential development, which is situated adjacent to the Union  
Buildings is due to commence shortly.                                           
During the year under review three properties were purchased and transferred for
an aggregate cost of R86 million.  These purchases are Rentmeester, an office   
block situated in Val-de-Grace, Pretoria, Union Club, a residential block       
situated in the Johannesburg CBD and 39 Rudolph Street in Sunderland Ridge.     
Interest income and dividends received from IPS, increased to R13 million due to
the strong performance of the portfolio as well as the advance of additional    
funds to IPS to fund IPS`s growth.  IPS`s property portfolio is valued in an    
amount of in excess of R790 million.  IPS has a committed residential           
development pipeline to build 977 units of residential accommodation at a total 
cost of R339 million. The majority of these units will be built at Kempton City 
in Kempton Park, Tayob Towers and Corporation Place in the Johannesburg CBD.    
Vacancies at 31 August 2008 amounted to 19.4% of total lettable area which is in
line with the previous financial year.  Further details are set out below:

A large percentage of the vacancies are in respect of properties recently       
acquired or undergoing redevelopment or refurbishment. A number of these        
properties were acquired with large vacancies and where little or no            
consideration was paid for the vacant space.                                    
BORROWINGS                                                                      
During the period the borrowings increased by R142,4 million, as a result of the
advance of further funds to IPS, purchases of investment properties and         
development costs incurred.  Octodec`s gearing at the end of the period under   
review was 28% as against 24% at 31 August 2007.  The group remains financially 
sound with facilities available in excess of R230 million to fund future cash   
flow requirements.                                                              
Interest rates in respect of 81% of borrowings at 31 August 2008 have been fixed
at an average interest rate of 11% maturing at various dates ranging from       
October 2008 to April 2018.                                                     
REVALUATION OF PROPERTY PORTFOLIO                                               
At each financial year end at least one-third of the property portfolio is      
valued on a rotational basis by an external valuer.  The directors` valuation of
the portfolio, taking into account prevailing market rentals, occupation levels 
and capitalisation rates increased by  R81,9 million, increasing net asset value
by 5.9% after accounting for deferred tax.                                      
PROSPECTS                                                                       
The difficult retail trading environment is expected to continue and will impact
on distribution growth.  International markets are depressed and the effects    
continue to spill over into the domestic economy.  Rental growth is expected to 
slow and higher operating costs and interest are expected to impact on          
profitability. Despite this, the board believes that distributable earnings will
be on a par with, if not better than the previous year.
