1.   Basis of preparation                                                       
The condensed financial results included in this announcement have been     
    prepared in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of     
    International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and have been prepared 
    in accordance with the presentation and disclosure requirements of IAS34,   
"Interim Financial Reporting".                                              
    Accounting policies                                                         
    With the exception of the implementation of the new and revised standards   
    noted below the same accounting policies, presentation and measurement      
principles have been followed in the preparation of the condensed financial 
    information as were applied in the preparation of the group`s annual        
    financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2009.  The group has       
    implemented the revised IAS1, "Presentation of Financial Statements" and    
IFRS8 "Operating segments".  The changes to both standards are of a         
    presentation and disclosure nature only.   Comparative information has been 
    re-presented to conform with the revised standards.                         
    Auditor`s opinion                                                           
Grant Thornton, the group`s independent auditor, has audited the            
    consolidated annual financial statements of Vukile Property Fund Limited    
    from which the condensed consolidated financial results have been derived   
    and have expressed an unmodified audit opinion on the consolidated annual   
financial statements. The audit report is available for inspection at       
    Vukile Property Fund Limited`s registered office.                           
2.   Financial results                                                          
    The group`s net profit available for distribution amounted to R323.3        
million for the year ended 31 March 2010 compared to the R289.9 million for 
    the previous year, an increase of 11.5%.  The second distribution has been  
    enhanced by the R10 million reduction in distributions payable by Vukile to 
    Sanlam Properties (Proprietary) Limited ("Sanlam Properties"), which        
reduction was negotiated in terms of the sale of business agreement.  This  
    is a once-off benefit which has been distributed in full to all             
    unitholders, other than to Sanlam Properties. If acquisitions and disposals 
    are excluded, on a "like for like" basis, group net property revenue        
increased by 10.2% from 2009 to 2010.                                       
    Group finance costs, net of investment and other income, have increased by  
    R1.6 million, from R122.6 million to R124.2 million.  The increase in       
    finance costs arising from the additional securitisation tap of R250        
million has largely been offset by an after tax profit of R5.8 million      
    realised on the termination of two forward starting swaps by the            
    securitisation vehicle and interest income earned on surplus funds.

    The board of directors has approved a final distribution of 60.9 cents per  
    linked unit for the six months to 31 March 2010, an increase of 13.2% over  
    the comparable six month period.  The distribution for the full year ended

    the previous year`s distribution of 97.90 cents per linked unit.

    The group`s long-term loans are hedged using interest rate swap agreements  
that expire over a three year period.  98% of all interest bearing debt has 
    been hedged at year-end at a weighted average rate of 10.4% per annum,      
    inclusive of margins and costs.  The company has entered into a forward     
    starting interest rate swap to cover 50% of the R462 million debt maturing  
in November 2010 as follows:                                                
    R231 million swap commencing in November 2010 and maturing in November 2013 
    at a rate of 7.89% (excluding note margins).                                
    The net after tax profit of R5.8 million arising on the termination of two  
swaps by the securitisation vehicle was utilised as a premium payment of    
    R5.45 million to achieve a lower rate on the above R231 million swap, from  
    8.86% to 7.89%.  This premium will be amortised over a three year period    
    from November 2010.                                                         
The company intends re-financing the R462 million loan maturing in November 
    2010 by way of a tap via the securitisation vehicle.                        
    The company`s borrowing capacity is, in terms of its articles of            
    association, not limited.  The board policy is to limit gearing to 45%.     
The group`s gearing ratio at the end of the financial year was 30.2%        
    compared to the bank and securitisation covenants of 50% and 65%            
    respectively.  The group has unutilised bank facilities of R532 million.    
5.   Group property portfolio                                                   
The property portfolio currently comprises 74 properties with a gross       
    lettable area of 918 833mSquared.                                           
    At 31 March 2010, the portfolio`s vacancy (measured as a percentage of      
    gross rentals) was 4.1% compared to 3.2% at 31 March 2009.                  
The largest vacancy in the portfolio is at Midrand Allandale which          
    reflected a vacancy at year-end of 4,527mSquared.  Every effort is being    
    made to let these premises.                                                 
    New leases and renewals of 194 813mSquared with a contract value of R364    
million, were concluded during the year. 67% of leases that expired during  
    the year ended 31 March 2010 were renewed.

The cost of acquisitions, developments and tenant installations for the     
    year ended 31 March 2010 amounted to R58 million (2009: R92 million).       
    Disposals                                                                   
    One unit of the Kleinfontein office complex was sold during the year for R3 
million, yielding a capital accounting profit of R1.4 million.              
    The Hillcest Centre was sold for R16.1 million and transferred on 1 April

7.   Valuation of portfolio                                                     
The accounting policies of the company require that directors value the     
    entire portfolio every six months to fair market value.  Approximately one  
    half of the portfolio is valued every six months, on a rotational basis, by 
    registered independent third party valuers.                                 
The directors have valued the group`s property portfolio at R4.89 billion   
    as at 31 March 2010.  This is R357.7 million or 7.9% higher than the        
    valuation as at 31 March 2009.                                              
    The external valuations by JHI Real Estate Limited and Old Mutual Property  
Group (Pty) Ltd at 31 March 2010 of 52% of the total portfolio is 5.8%      
    higher than the directors` valuations of the same properties.               
8.   Asset Management Business                                                  
    As announced previously the resolutions relating to:                        
the acquisition by Vukile of the property asset management business of      
    Sanlam Properties directly related to the asset management of Sanlam Life   
    Insurance Limited`s ("Sanlam Life") property portfolio, as a going concern  
    ("the Business Acquisition");                                               
a call option granted by Sanlam Life to Vukile to acquire certain           
    properties valued at approximately R500 million from Sanlam Life;           
    a right of first refusal granted by Sanlam Life to Vukile in respect of the 
    acquisition of the majority of the remainder of Sanlam Life`s property      
portfolio;                                                                  
    the issue and allotment of 36 470 000 linked units in Vukile as             
    consideration for the Business Acquisition;                                 
    were passed by the requisite majority of Vukile unitholders on 18 December  
2009.                                                                       
    The Business Acquisition was implemented with effect from 1 January 2010.   
    As a result of this, Vukile now renders property asset management services  
    to Sanlam Life in respect of its long-term commercial investment property   
portfolio.  This is in addition to the property asset management of         
    Vukile`s portfolio which was internalised on 1 October 2009.  As indicated  
    above, the transaction provides Vukile with a call option and right of      
    first refusal over most of the Sanlam Group`s property portfolio.           
It is pleasing to note that, as a result of the previous close relationship 
    between Vukile and Sanlam Properties, the merger process has been completed 
    seamlessly and timeously.                                                   
    If the employment and other costs in respect of the personnel employed to   
undertake the asset management function of the Vukile portfolio of R4       
    million are excluded, the acquisition of the asset management business      
    contributed pre-tax income of R7 million for the three months to 31 March   
    2010, made up as follows:

Proposed Acquisition of properties from Sanlam                              
    Vukile unitholders were advised on 29 April 2010 that the terms of the R775 
    million property acquisition had been revised as follows:                   
    Revised terms of the property acquisition                                   
Vukile will, subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions precedent      
    acquire a portfolio consisting of nine properties from Sanlam Life for an   
    amount of R527 million ("the purchase price"), to be settled on the date of 
    registration of transfer of the properties into Vukile`s name either in     
cash in full or partly in cash and partly by way of an allotment and issue  
    to the vendor of such number of Vukile linked units ("the consideration     
    units") as shall result in the vendor receiving the full purchase price in  
    cash.  The purchase price shall be increased by an amount of 0.01644% for   
each day from 1 May 2010 to the date of registration of transfer of the     
    properties into Vukile`s name.  This acquisition is over and above the call 
    option referred to under paragraph 8 above.                                 
    Vendor placing                                                              
If the purchase price is settled partly in cash and partly by way of an     
    allotment and issue of the consideration units to the vendor, Vukile shall  
    place the consideration units with third parties ("the vendor placing"), in 
    compliance with the JSE Limited ("the JSE") Listings Requirements, such     
that the vendor receives the full purchase price in cash.

    (1)Included in this amount is R3.9 million which has been re-               
    imbursed by Sanlam Properties in respect of the long term                   
    incentive scheme liabilities assumed by the Vukile group on the             
take-over of the Sanlam Properties employees involved in the                
    asset management business.                                                  
                                                                                
    All the above amounts due were paid in or received by May 2010.             

    Sanlam Properties, Sanlam Life and SCM are subsidiaries of                  
    Sanlam Limited which held directly 101 967 742 or 30.7% of the              
    issued linked units of Vukile Property Fund Limited at 31 March             
2010.  Sanlam Limited also holds a minority shareholding in                 
    JHI.  Kuper Legh Property Group is controlled by an individual              
    who is also a significant unitholder in Vukile.                             
    Prospects                                                                   
The past year has been a trying one in a number of respects. The sector     
    experienced rising vacancies, increased bad debts, increased arrears and    
    lower rental growth. The effects of the recession were evident across the   
    broader economy and trading conditions were tough.                          
There are signs that the economy has turned the corner and the expectation  
    is that we will now see growth in GDP of between 2% and 3% for the 2010     
    calendar year. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the property cycle       
    generally follows the broader economic cycle by between 12 to 18 months, we 
are of the opinion that there will still be some more bad news before we    
    will see a recovery. We therefore expect vacancies to increase slightly     
    from current levels and we also do not see any substantial growth in        
    rentals before the end of the calendar year.                                
In the following financial year, the company will experience the full       
    effect of the acquisition of the Sanlam Properties asset management         
    business.  There will, however, not be a repeat of the saving of R10        
    million in the June 2010 distributions as this was a once off agreement     
forming part of the transaction, but the company will experience the        
    benefit of the recently announced R527 million property acquisition from    
    Sanlam.                                                                     
    The company also expects to exercise the option to acquire the R500 million 
property portfolio from Sanlam in due course.                               
    Based on the above, the Board is of the opinion that, although not of the   
    same magnitude as the 2010 year, the increase in distributions for the 2011 
    financial year will be reasonable.
