A property fund created under the Oasis Crescent Trust Scheme registered in

JSE code: OAS
ISIN: ZAE000074332
("OCPF" or "the Fund")
RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE INCOME DISTRIBUTION
Unitholders are referred to the SENS announcements of 21 and 29 October 2010,
where it was announced that an income distribution, after non-permissible
income of 4 746.88 cents (in aggregate) for every 100 units held ("Income
Distribution"), in respect of the 6 months ended 30 September 2010, had been
declared to unitholders recorded in the register of OCPF at close of business
on Friday, 12 November 2010, with the election to receive a unit distribution
of 3.57 units, at 1 329 cents per unit (in aggregate), for every 100 units
("Unit Distribution") held at close of business on Friday, 12 November 2010,
in lieu of the Income Distribution.
The total Income Distribution comprises of three different income
distributions, namely the Property Income Distribution, the Offshore Dividend
Income Distribution and the Domestic Permissible Investment Income
Distribution.
The directors of Oasis Crescent Property Fund Managers Limited ("the
Manager"), hereby advise unitholders that the closing date and time for the
election of the unit distribution was 12:00pm on Friday, 12 November 2010.
The following elections to receive the unit distribution were received from
unitholders in respect of the three different income distributions:
Income Distribution Number of units held New units issued
by unitholders who

Property Income 27 650 763 799 106

Income Distribution
Domestic Permissible 27 370 046 32 845
Investment Income
Distribution
Total 985 227
Accordingly 985 227 new units in OCPF have been issued to the unitholders that
elected to receive same.
In respect of the Income Distribution, the manager hereby advises unitholders,
who will receive the Income Distribution, that for taxation purposes SARS
regards the Income Distribution as being "interest income" (as defined by
SARS). Therefore, the property income distribution, offshore dividend income
distribution and domestic permissible investments income distribution have
different tax implications for unitholders as a result of such distributions
being classified as either a net property distribution, net foreign income
distribution or net domestic income distribution.
The Income Tax Act sections applicable to the distributions made are as
follows:
- Property income distribution - section 10 (1)(k)(i)
- Offshore dividend income distribution - section 10(i)
- Domestic permissible investment income distribution - section 10(1)(k)(i)
The Manager therefore advises unitholders to consult their professional tax
advisors with regard to their tax liability in this regard.
Share certificates in respect of the unit distribution will be posted out to
certificated unitholders on or about Monday, 15 November 2010, and cheques in
respect of the income distribution are in the process of being posted.
The CSDP/broker accounts of unitholders holding dematerialised units have been
updated and are in the process of being credited, according to the elections
made.
An adjustment to the maximum number of unit distribution units listed will be
made on or about Tuesday, 16 November 2010.
By order of the board of the Manager
