Notes:
1. Based on Ingenuity`s Interim Results.
2. The EPS, HEPS and NAV as published in the Interim Results were based
on the 9 837 419 treasury shares held by a subsidiary of the
Company, Withmore Investments 3 (Proprietary) Limited ("Withmore")
at 28 February 2009. The EPS, HEPS, NAV and NTAV as reflected in the
"Before the Disposal adjusted" column have been adjusted to take
into account all 26 837 419 treasury shares at 28 February 2009
which were held by the SA REIT Employee Share Trust ("the Trust")
and Withmore. These adjustments do not have a material effect on the
published EPS, HEPS and NAV.
3. In calculating the Financial Effects on EPS, HEPS, NAV and NTAV, it
was assumed that the Disposal was implemented on 28 February 2009
for balance sheet purposes and 1 September 2008 for income statement
purposes.
4. EPS and HEPS have been adjusted to exclude the net income
attributable to the Properties for the six months ended 28 February
2009. Further to this, an adjustment was made to take into account a
reduced after tax interest expense of R2.0 million, based on a
weighted average interest rate of 12.61%, as the cash consideration
will be utilised to reduce interest bearing debt.
