AUDIT OPINION - The independent auditors, PKF (Jhb) Inc., have audited these
results. Their unqualified report is available for inspection at the
company`s registered office.
BASIS OF PREPARATION - The financial results have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (`IFRS`) and in
terms of IAS 34- "Interim Financial Reporting", JSE listing requirements and
the Companies Act. All accounting policies are consistent with those applied
for the year ended 31 August 2007.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On 26 March 2008, the group acquired a 51% interest in Freedom Square (Pty)
Ltd ("Freedom Square") which is developing its property. The fair value of
assets and liabilities on acquisition was the same as those carried in
Freedom Square`s books. The purchase price of R104 550 was paid in cash.
Since acquisition, Freedom Square`s investment property was revalued by R5.4
million which has been included in Redefine`s profit for the year.
Freedom Square did not trade prior to acquisition and accordingly earned no
revenue or profit for the period.

COMMENTS
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Distributable earnings have increased by 19.1%. Net income from properties
held for the full 12 month period has grown by 13.0% due to firmer rentals,
positive rental reversions and new developments completed during the year.
Property expenses have been contained at 19.6% of contractual rental income.
The contribution of R23.6 million from trading represents 3.3% (2007: 5.9%)
of net operating income. Income from the listed securities portfolio grew
by 10.7%.
Trading developments, particularly Oasis Luxury Retirement Estate, have been
affected by higher interest rates resulting in a slowdown in sales and
increasing holding costs arising from which the increase in distributions
per linked unit for the year did not meet the forecast.
DISTRIBUTION
The Board has approved an interest distribution of 15.53 cents per linked
unit for the quarter ended 31 August 2008. This, together with the
distributions of 41.10 cents per linked unit for the nine months ended 31
May 2008, results in interest distributions for the year of 56.63 cents per
linked unit, an increase of 10.5% on the distributions of 51.25 cents for
the comparable period.
BORROWINGS
Redefine`s borrowings increased by R488.3 million from August 2007. Total
debt of R3.7 billion represents gearing of 35.2%, an increase from 33.9% at
August 2007.
Proactive interest rate management protected against the increases in the
prime interest rate of 2% during the year. The current average all inclusive
interest rate is 10.5% (Aug 2007: 10.0%) and the interest rate is fixed on
71.6% (2007: 76.5%) of borrowings for an average period of 5 years.
Post year end a fixed rate term loan was entered into at 12.35% NACM and an
interest rate swap was concluded for R230 million at a rate of 11.58% NACM
resulting in 86.3% of the total debt fixed for an average of 7 years.
LIQUIDITY
33.1% of the weighted average number of linked units in issue traded during
the year under review.
CAPITAL COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Capital expenditure of R172.1 million has been authorised.
Guarantees issued amount to R104.0 million.
Suretyships, limited to R119.1 million, have been provided relating to BEE
initiatives.
Liabilities of JV`s up to an amount of R30.8 million have been guaranteed.

PROPERTY PORTFOLIO
At 31 August 2008 Redefine`s property portfolio comprised 101 properties
with a total gross lettable area ("GLA") of 858 357m2, valued at R5.8
billion. The property portfolio has been valued by independent external
valuers in terms of Redefine`s policy.
The property portfolio constitutes 56.8% (Aug 2007: 50.5%) of Redefine`s
total non-current assets.
During the year under review, 93 940m2 of vacant space was leased and leases
in respect of 51 036m2 were renewed. Vacancies at 31 August 2008 were 4.8%
(Aug 2007: 2.2%) of GLA. The increased GLA of the portfolio which includes
completed new developments has resulted in additional vacant space. Post 31
August 2008, 11 425m2 has been leased reducing vacancies to 3.4%.
45% of leases by GLA, expire in 2012 and beyond.
DEVELOPMENTS
The development of Festival Town Square, a retail centre with an estimated
cost to be incurred to completion of R157.1 million at an anticipated

TRADING
A joint venture ("JV"), has been established between Redefine and Madison
Property Fund Managers Limited in order to redevelop Buchanan Square and
Newmarket Junction into sectional title office units for sale of which 15%
have been sold.
Oasis Luxury Retirement Estate, of which the first phase, including 2
apartment blocks, a community centre and a frail care centre have been
developed, is 67% sold. The frail care centre is fully functional and is
expected to be cash positive during the 2009 financial year.
The development of Upper East Side Phase ll has commenced and is 92% pre-
sold. Redefine is a 25% shareholder.
LISTED SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
Redefine acquired an additional 10.6 million units in CIREF Limited for
R236.9 million (GBP16.0 million). This was financed by a LIBOR (London Inter
Bank Offered Rate) based loan.
Redefine exchanged 18.0 million units in Sycom Property Fund for 7.2 million
units in Hyprop Investments Limited.
BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
On 18 February 2008, Redefine issued 80 million linked units to strategic
and broad-based BEE partners at R6.85 per linked unit, representing a
discount of 7% to the market value. The proceeds from the issue of these
units have been applied to floating debt. A fee is payable by the
beneficiaries of the linked units in respect of the guarantee that Redefine
has provided for the loan to finance a portion of the transaction.
PROSPECTS
The Board anticipates that, subject to no further deterioration in market
conditions, Redefine`s distributions per linked unit for the year ending 31
August 2009 will increase by between 9% and 11% compared to 2008. This
forecast has not been audited or reported on by the company`s auditors.

Unitholders are advised that interest distribution no. 34 in respect of the
period 1 June 2008 to 31 August 2008 of 15.53 cents per linked unit has been
