Revenue and distributable earnings from shopping centres increased by 18% and
14%, respectively, largely as a result of increased GLA following the completion
of extensions at The Glen and Canal Walk. On a like-for-like basis, revenue from
shopping centres increased by 13,3%, while distributable earnings grew 8,8%.
Overall, property expenses in Hyprop`s shopping centres increased by 27%, driven
primarily by increases in assessment rates and electricity costs.
Excluding municipal expenses, total property expenses in the shopping centre
portfolio increased by 5,4%.
Income from hotels underperformed due to pressure on the leisure market
generally.
Fund management expenses reduced due to the replacement of asset management fees
with consulting fees payable to Redefine Properties Limited ("Redefine"). The
consulting agreement with Redefine was terminated on 31 August 2010.
Total arrears in the portfolio at 31 December 2010 were R41 million (2009: R36,8
million). Arrears at year-end include back dated assessment rates of R6,1
million, as a result of council increases in municipal values. Total provision
for doubtful debts at year-end amounted to R15,7 million (2009: R13,9 million).

Investment property
Investment property was independently valued by Old Mutual Investment Group:
Property Investments (Pty) Limited using the discounted cash flow method.
Investment property increased in value by R517 million, a 5,8% increase, to R9,5
billion.
Vacancies reduced to 3,9% at 31 December 2010 (2009: 4,5%). Excluding
Stoneridge, which opened in September 2008, total vacancies at year-end were
1,6% (2009: 1,9%).
Developments
The R37 million refurbishment of Hyde Park was successfully completed in time
for December trading. The construction of a new access road to Southern Sun Hyde
Park and the northern parkade remains outstanding pending the relocation of
electrical cables by City Power.
Planning for the refurbishment and extension to The Mall of Rosebank,
incorporating Rosebank Gardens, is still in progress. Due to complex town
planning issues and the management of various interest groups in the Rosebank
node, the scheme is currently undergoing a detailed design development process,
with a view to extracting maximum value.
Listed property securities
Hyprop`s investment in Sycom was valued at R1,5 billion at 31 December 2010
based on the closing price on that date of R20,72 per unit.
Sycom underperformed in the year, resulting in no income growth from this
investment.
Net Asset Value
The net asset value per combined unit ("NAV") at year-end was R47,26,
representing a 6,7% increase on the NAV of R44,29 at 31 December 2009.
Excluding deferred taxation, the NAV at year-end was R57,01, equating to
Hyprop`s combined unit price at 31 December 2010 of R57,00.
Borrowings
Net borrowings at 31 December 2010 of R1,4 billion equate to a gearing ratio of
12,6%.
The average interest rate on long-term loans was 9,37% (2009: 9,48%).
R450 million of borrowings was refinanced at year-end, resulting in an increase
in the average interest rate on long-term loans to 9,44% from January 2011.
Attfund Retail
As announced on 6 December 2010, Hyprop has reached agreement with the board of
Femtoworx Limited (in the process of being renamed Attfund Retail Limited)
("Attfund Retail") to acquire 100% of the shares in Attfund Retail, for the
purpose of acquiring Attfund Retail`s portfolio of property assets and listed
property securities. Formal agreements were concluded in December 2010.
In terms of the proposed acquisition, Hyprop will acquire a large, well-managed,
retail-focused portfolio which complements its existing portfolio. Following the
transaction Hyprop`s portfolio is set to increase to 22 properties with a gross
value of approximately R18 billion, almost doubling in size but retaining its
retail focus.
The acquisition will strengthen Hyprop`s management team through the addition of
Attfund Retail`s centre management and corporate management teams. The board in
turn will benefit from the expertise and experience of Louis Norval and Louis
van der Watt who, subject to the necessary combined unitholder approval, will
become non-executive directors on the Hyprop board after implementation of the
offer.
The acquisition remains subject to JSE, Hyprop unitholder and Competition
Commission approval.
A circular and revised listing particulars containing further details of the
proposed transaction will be posted to Hyprop unitholders in due course.
Directorate
As previously announced, Wolf Cesman resigned from the board with effect from 31
May 2010 and Khosi Sibisi resigned effective 1 December 2010. The board thanks
them for their contribution to Hyprop`s success.
Effective 3 December 2010, Mike Lewin and David Rice were appointed as non-
executive directors, while Lindie Engelbrecht was appointed as an independent
non-executive director with effect from 14 January 2011. Lindie was also
appointed to the Audit and Risk Committees, effective 1 March 2011.
CEO Mike Rodel will resign from the board on 3 March 2011. Mike has made a
meaningful contribution to Hyprop during his tenure. The board thanks him and
wishes him success in his future endeavours.
Pieter Prinsloo, a former Hyprop CEO with extensive retail property experience,
will be appointed to the board as CEO from 1 May 2011.
Prospects
Trading conditions in the retail sector will remain difficult in 2011, despite a
return to growth in the broader economy. Risks in the leisure industry, the
underperformance of Sycom and the impact of increased utility charges on the
overall cost of occupation for Hyprop tenants will also adversely affect
earnings in the year ahead.
Management focus during 2011 will be on organic growth in the existing
portfolio, the redevelopment and extension of The Mall of Rosebank and the
implementation of the Attfund Retail transaction, including the integration of
the new properties and management.
Renewal of cautionary announcement
The financial effects of the Attfund Retail acquisition are still in the process
of being finalised and will be published in due course.
Unitholders are therefore advised to continue exercising caution when trading in
Hyprop combined units until a further announcement is made.
Payment of debenture interest

December 2010 will be paid to combined unitholders as follows:
