Review of operating results                                                     
The unaudited results for the six months ended 31 March 2009 reflect profit     
before interest of R3 871 000 (2008: R3 300 000). The bulk of this profit       
remains derived from the group`s property division. Headline earnings per share 
have decreased to 8,0 cents from 14,1 cents. Interest expense amounted to       
R1 253 000 (2008: R1 190 000).                                                  
Property division                                                               
The group is confident that its letting profile should not change significantly 
due to the increased risks facing the general economy. Although there are       
indications of increased market risk due to tenants experiencing financial      
difficulties which may indicate static or lower valuations, overall, the        
group`s portfolio remains well positioned and vacancy levels are currently      
within acceptable norms.                                                        
Investment division                                                             
The group`s permanent portfolio of shares in foreign listed investments and     
currencies reflects a market value in South African currency of R22 575 000     
(2008: R32 341 000). The decrease is due to devaluation of international        
markets and the strengthening rand.                                             
International Financial Reporting Standards                                     
This report has been prepared in accordance with International Financial        
Reporting Standards and complies with IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting       
Standards. Except for the revaluation of investment properties, the same        
accounting policies were used as those applied in the annual financial          
statements for the period ended 30 September 2008 in which these policies are   
fully described.                                                                
Marshall Monteagle Holdings Societe Anonyme                                     
Attention is drawn to the fact that the current offer being made of 33 shares   
in Marshall Monteagle Holdings SA ("Marshall") for every 100 shares held in     
Merchant & Industrial Properties Limited ("Merchant") has been extended to 31   
July 2009.                                                                      
As at the date of this announcement, Marshall has received acceptances for 2    
781 415 shares of Merchant, representing 16% of the issued share capital of     
Merchant. This, in addition to the 69,7% already owned by Marshall, represents  
85,7% of the issued share capital of Merchant. The directors are still strongly 
recommending that shareholders accept the offer.                                
Shareholders` attention is drawn to the fact that, in terms of the JSE Listings 
Requirements should the shareholder spread not be maintained by Merchant once   
the offer has been closed and the 90% not achieved, those shareholders who do   
not accept the offer will remain shareholders in a company that might face      
possible suspension and termination of its listing.                             
Dividend declaration                                                            
Notice is hereby given that an interim dividend of 7,0 cents per ordinary share 
has been declared in respect of the six months ended 31 March 2009.             
In accordance with the settlement procedures of Strate, Merchant has determined 
that the last date to trade to participate in the interim dividend shall be     
Thursday, 11 June 2009. The shares will commence trading ex-dividend from       
Friday, 12 June 2009, and the record date will be Friday, 19 June 2009.         
Dividends will be paid on Monday, 22 June 2009.                                 
Share certificates may not be dematerialised, or rematerialised, between        
Friday, 12 June 2009 and Friday, 19 June 2009, both days inclusive.
