INTRODUCTION
SA Corporate Real Estate Fund is a JSE listed Property Unit Trust which owns a
portfolio of retail, industrial and office buildings located primarily in the
major metropolitan areas of South Africa.
FINANCIAL RESULTS AND PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE
The distribution for second half of the year to December 2010 (14.18cpu)
increased by 7.1% relative to the comparable period in 2009 (13.24cpu) and the
full year`s distribution (28.42cpu) increased by 2.6% compared with 2009
(27.69cpu).
The Fund outperformed the Listed Property sector in 2010 producing a total
return of 33.1% vs. 29.6% and the discount to net asset value (342cpu) reduced
from 20.7% at December 2009 to 7.3% at December 2010.
Industrial rental growth (13.7%) was underpinned by the take-up of 3.2% vacant
space (6.1% to 2.9%), 80.5% retention ratio on expiries combined with 10.3%
positive rental reversions as well as the acquisition of 112 Yaldwyn Road
(R208.5m). Retail rental income decreased by 2.8% as a consequence of a 1.1%
increase in vacancies (9.3% to 10.4%), 2.6% negative rental reversion on
expiries and disposals (R162.8m).
Property expenses increased by 11.7%. Municipal costs increased by 22%,
because of higher municipal valuations, that resulted in a 17% increase in
rates, while electricity increased by 28% compared with prior year.
Maintenance costs increased by 47% and are reflective of our strategy to
improve the quality of the assets. Bad debt expenses reduced by 49.9%, from
R33.5m to R16.8m indicating a stabilisation in arrears and better collections
on current billings.
Net interest paid declined by 0.8%. Interest paid decreased by 1.4%, due to
the removal of the stepped rate debt structure, the set-off of disposal
proceeds placed in the debt access facility and favourable market interest
rates despite a R200m increase in borrowings between December 2010 and
December 2009. Interest received decreased by 8.3%, resulting from a low
interest rate environment and excess cash being placed in the debt access
facility.
The increase in unit price contributed towards a (23.9%) increase in the
service fee which was the primary reason for the increase in the total fund
expenses. Included in Fund expenses were once-off fees of R2.7m relating to
the termination of the stepped rate debt structure and restructuring fee on
the R200m additional borrowings.

LEASE EXPIRIES AND VACANCIES
Vacancies in terms of rentable area and rental income were as follows:
Property type Vacancy as % of GLA Vacancy as % of rental income
31.12.2010 31.12.2009 31.12.2010 31.12.2009
Retail 10.4 9.3 11.2 9.7
Industrial 2.9 6.1 2.2 5.6
Office 19.5 13.1 12.6 12.3
Portfolio total 7.3 8.0 8.0 8.6
We expect retail vacancies to reduce, due to bottoming out of the cycle and a
slow increase in retail spending, as well as refurbishment initiatives at
Musgrave Centre, North Park Mall, and Comaro Crossing. Retail vacancies at
Musgrave Centre have decreased since 31 December 2010 (4,000m2) to
approximately 1,000m2 with interest in the remaining space.
We expect a take up of industrial vacancies with increasing demand and minimal
speculative development, which should support firming market rentals. The
Fund`s already below sector average industrial vacancies (2.9% vs. 6%) are
expected to reduce even further. Recent leasing activity is testimony to the
quality of the portfolio in a demanding environment.
Office vacancy rates continued their upward trend during 2010 with national
vacancies averaging around 10%. Landlords face difficulties in the short term
as supply remains relatively high and the ease with which tenants are able to
move, however we are of the view that we have seen the peak in office market
vacancies. A high proportion of the Funds office vacancies (46%) relate to
space in retail centres. Musgrave Centre and North Park Mall account for 30%
of total office vacancies. Refurbishments at these centres will support future
take-up.
The lease expiry profile and vacancies are set out below:

PROSPECTS
The Fund is expected to show sustainable positive distribution growth for
2011. The good performance of the industrial portfolio and expected gradual
take-up of vacant retail and office space is partially offset by the rebasing
of rentals, rising municipal expenses and short term impact of quality
enhancing capital expenditure.
The use of increased gearing and disposals for reinvestment and high quality
acquisitions, in particular but not limited to large industrial properties,
will continue to improve the portfolio`s quality. The focus on expiring
leases, reducing vacancies and management of property expenses will underpin
efficient operations that together with asset management initiatives will
support sustainably higher distribution growth over the medium term.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The condensed financial information has been prepared in accordance with the
framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the AC 500 standards as
issued by the Accounting Practices Board, the requirements of the Collective
Investment Schemes Control Act and the information as required by IAS 34:
Interim Financial Reporting. The results have been prepared using accounting
policies that are consistent with those applied in the financial statements
for the year ended 2009, except for the following change in accounting policy
relating to the treatment of income taxes.
1 Changes in accounting policy:
SA Corporate has early adopted the amendment to IAS 12 (Income taxes) which
requires entities to apply the Capital Gains Tax ("CGT") rate to their entire
investment property revaluations (where tax is applicable), and no longer
require a split of the property with a portion (land) attracting the CGT rate
and a portion (the building) attracting the full income tax rate. Further,
where investment property moves in or out of the "held for disposal" category,
there will be no adjustment to the tax rate applied to the building portion of
the revaluation. This has resulted in a retrospective restatement of the
comparative information. This has the effect of a lower deferred tax charge on
upward revaluations in profit and loss; no release of any deferred tax when
properties are moved into "held for disposal" and similarly no increase when
they are removed from that category; and a net increase in Net Asset Value per
unit.
