Fairvest is a property investment holding company with investments in           
commercial and retail properties in South Africa. Its short-term                
investment strategy is to create a property portfolio of significant            
critical mass through acquisition of quality, high-yielding                     
properties. Accordingly, investment opportunities are being evaluated           
for acquisition on an on-going basis.                                           
                                                                                
Review of results                                                               
The group continued to produce pleasing results. Revenue and trading            
profits declined primarily as a result of the disposal of Nedbank               
Circle and Mangrove Beach Centre properties in the 2008 financial year          
and the disposal of Kempton City and Broadway Nordic properties in the          
period under review.                                                            
                                                                                
No profit is attributable to ordinary shareholders as the Debenture             
Trust Deed states that 99.9% of profits are attributable to debenture           
holders. As a result the benefit of improved trading performance is             
expensed in the income statement as a fair value adjustment to                  
debentures and debenture interest. In the period under review, the              
fair value adjustment to debentures and interest on debentures equates          
to 3.5 cents per share.                                                         
                                                                                
The property portfolio under management decreased from R107.7 million           
to R59.0 million as Kempton City and Broadway Nordic properties were            
sold during the period under review. The receipt of proceeds from the           
sale of these properties enabled Fairvest to settle all outstanding             
property debt financing and resulted in a significant improvement in            
cash and cash equivalents from R10.5 million to R42.3 million.                  

The net asset value per linked unit increased marginally from 138.4             
cents to 142.0 cents in the six month period.                                   
                                                                                
The strong balance sheet of the group has well positioned it to take            
advantage of opportunities that may arise in the present uncertain              
economic conditions.                                                            
                                                                                
Interest distributions                                                          
Interest on debentures has been calculated in terms of the Debenture            
Trust Deed, however, in line with the company`s policy, no interest             
distributions or dividends have been declared for the period under              
review in respect of the linked units.
