Chairman`s Statement
The period under review was an active and important one for the Group. Most
encouragingly the Group returned to overall profitability with both operating
profit and total profit being positive for the first time since the 2008
credit crisis.
Through the listing on the JSE Limited ("JSE") of its parent company,
Redefine Properties International Limited ("RI Ltd"), the Group was able to
significantly strengthen its statement of financial position, diversify its
investment portfolio into hotel properties and consolidate its strategic
holding in the Cromwell Group in Australia.
The Group`s trading operations performed well and the non-trading result was
a net positive for the period. The trading results were bolstered by rental
income on a number of acquisitions and tight cost containment. Non-trading
results included some write back of previous loses on interest rate swaps and
mark-to-market gains on a number of instruments. There were limited fair
value adjustments on the bulk of the Group`s property portfolio as the
property sector continues to be impacted by liquidity constraints.
Although it is early days, the new investment in hotel properties has
exceeded expectations and the outlook for the sector and the Group`s
strategically located, quality hotel portfolio in particular is very
promising.
The Group however remains cautious about the general economic environment for
the remainder of the financial year. In the UK, banks continue to reduce
exposure to the property sector which will limit any short- term increase in
commercial property values notwithstanding inflationary pressures.
Interest rates are expected to remain at relatively low levels in both the UK
and Europe in the near term, although the Investment Manager is being
cautious in its interest rate strategy and is budgeting for increases in the
bank rate over the next three financial years.
The boards of Wichford P.L.C and RI plc have agreed in principle to a
combination of the two companies ("the Potential Merger"). An announcement
in this regard was made on 23 March 2011. Expectations are that the
Potential Merger will become effective, subject to the necessary regulatory
and shareholder approvals being obtained, by the end of the third calendar
quarter in 2011.
The Potential Merger is consistent with our strategy to build a larger, more
liquid company focused on diversified, income producing investment
properties. We believe that the enlarged company will be well placed to
deliver attractive cash returns for investors and competitive total returns
over the long-term.
On behalf of the Board

Chairman
COMMENTARY
Introduction
RI plc is a property investment and development company which owns
investments in commercial and retail properties in the UK, Switzerland,
Germany and the Channel Islands, which provide sustainable occupancy rates
and income flows, together with opportunities for development and value
enhancement. The Company also owns material investments in two listed
companies being Wichford P.L.C. in the United Kingdom (currently 21.7%) and
the Cromwell Group in Australia (22.2% post the interim period). It recently
extended its investment mandate to include investments in hotel properties.
The Group`s primary objective is to produce sustainable and growing income
for its investors. Underscoring this is RI plc`s pursuit of revenue
enhancing opportunities that provide long term capital growth and translate
into increasing distributions to shareholders.
Growth in income and distributions is achieved through:
- organic growth from the core property portfolio;
- increased distributions from strategic listed securities;
- yield enhancing acquisitions and disposals;
- development and redevelopment of properties to add value to the property
portfolio; and
- containment of costs.
Financial Results
RI plc has declared a dividend of 2.03 pence per share for the six months
ended 28 February 2011, based on the distributable earnings of GBP 8.4
million. The interim dividend declaration illustrates that the Company is on
track to achieve the forecast dividend for the year ended 31 August 2011
contained in the Redefine Properties International Limited ("RI Ltd") JSE
prospectus issued on 23 August 2010 and reflects a steady operational
performance across the Group.
The Group produced a net profit for the period attributable to equity holders
of the parent of GBP 9.5 million which represents an increase of 347.7% over
the corresponding 5 month interim period to 28 February 2010 and a 292.4%
increase since the 31 August 2010 financial year end.
Gross rental income reflects a 60.1% pro-rata increase over the 31 August
2010 financial year,the majority of which is due to the acquisition of the
Hotel Property Portfolio and the OBI properties.
Wichford P.L.C ("Wichford")
Wichford delivered a pleasing set of results for the financial year ended 30
September 2010 and met the challenging targets set out at the time of the
rights issue in September 2009.
Earnings per share of 0.90 pence from the trading operations reflected a 4.7%
increase on last year. A final dividend of 0.33 pence per share was paid on
1 March 2011, resulting in income of GBP 761,548 for RI plc.
Further details of the Potential Merger can be found in the Company`s
announcement published on the London Stock Exchange Regulatory News Service
on 23 March 2011.
Cromwell Group ("Cromwell")
The Company`s investment in Cromwell showed a gain of GBP 11.5million since
31 August 2010 and continued to deliver a 10% yield on the initial
acquisition price.
Cromwell reported first half (period ended 31 December 2011) operating
earnings of AUS$32.9 million, or 3.7 cents per stapled security and advised
the market that it is on track to achieve full year earnings of at least 7.0
cents per stapled security. In line with its objective of increasing its
presence in the Australian property market, RI plc subscribed for a further
35 million Cromwell stapled securities in March 2011, resulting in RI plc
holding 22.2% in Cromwell. The transaction consolidates the Group`s position
as the largest security holder in Cromwell and provides significant influence
over the affairs of Cromwell.
Property Portfolio
In addition to the aggregate Wichford and Cromwell property securities
totalling GBP 103million, as at 28 February 2011 the Group had interests in
99 properties with a gross rentable area of approximately 3.9million square
feet. These include 4 UK shopping centres; a large integrated UK town centre
redevelopment project; well let, low risk, stable income office and
commercial properties spread across the UK and Jersey; six German-based
portfolios which include, shopping centres, supermarkets, petrol stations and
a medical centre; anda supermarket and home depot centre in Switzerland.

Acquisitions and Disposals
OBI properties
On 2 December 2010, RI plc announced the effective 50% acquisition of two
properties located in Herzogenrath and Schwandorf, Germany ("the
OBIproperties").
The OBI properties are leased to OBI on 15 year leases. OBI is Germany`s
leading DIY chain with over 530 stores throughout Europe, employs over 38,000
employees and turnover of approximately EUR 5.9 billion in 2009. There are 3
other tenants, all national German chains, which account for approximately
10% of the rental income of the OBI properties.
The OBI properties were acquired for a purchase price of EUR 23 million. The
OBI properties are funded through a senior debt facility of EUR 16.7 million
with a term of 7 years and an interest rate of 1.3% above Euribor. An
interest rate instrument is currently being negotiated to fix the interest
rate.
Swiss properties
In February 2011, RI plc acquired the remaining 19.54% of Kalihora Holdings
Limited ("Kalihora") which it did not already hold for a total purchase price
of GBP 1,007,160. The total purchase price was settled by a placement of
1,694,000 new RI plc shares at a subscription price of 54.5 pence per share
with the non-controlling shareholders of Kalihora ("the Placing"). The
balance of the purchase price of GBP 83,930 was settled in cash.
Kalihora, a company that owns two COOP stores in Switzerland, was 80.46%
owned by the Company, prior to the Placing.
Hotel properties
RI plc completed the acquisition of the Splendid Hotel Portfolio ("the Hotel
Property Portfolio") on 30 November 2010. The Hotel Property Portfolio
includes the following hotels:
- Holiday Inn Brentford Lock, Brentford, London;
- Express by Holiday Inn Limehouse, London;
- Express by Holiday Inn Park Royal, North Acton, London;
- Express by Holiday Inn Royal Docks, London; and
- Express by Holiday Inn Southwark, London.
The total consideration payable after acquisition costs was GBP 112 million.
The Hotel Property Portfolio is an exceptional acquisition, as not only is it
London based, but its track record of occupancy and revenue are exemplary.
A lease agreement has been entered into with Redefine Hotel Management
Limited ("RHML"), a subsidiary of the Investment Manager. RHML has the
expertise and resources necessary to effectively operate and manage the Hotel
Property Portfolio.
Streatham Disposal
An agreement was exchanged on 16 December 2010 for the disposal of Ciref
Streatham Limited, a subsidiary company that owns two properties in
Streatham, South London. The base sale price of GBP 4.85 million is slightly
below the book value of the properties; however the Company will receive an
additional payment should the purchaser sell the total site for more than an
agreed amount. No value has been attributed to the potential additional
consideration in the interim financial statements. Payment of the base sale
price is due 24 months after exchange.
JSE Listing of RI Ltd
The Company`s controlling shareholder Redefine Properties Limited transferred
its shareholding in RI plc to a South African subsidiary RI Ltd with effect
from 1 August 2010 in exchange for linked units in RI Ltd. The linked units
comprise one share indivisibly linked to one debenture in RI Ltd. RI Ltd was
successfully listed on the JSE on 7 September 2010. The listing was preceded
by a capital raising with some GBP 84 million being raised in the process and
was well received by the South African investment community. RI Ltd`s sole
asset comprises its shareholding in RI plc with each RI Ltd linked unit
effectively equating to one share in RI plc.
Borrowings
The restructuring of the senior debt of the Shopping Centre Portfolio, as set
out in the Annual report, has allowed the Group to extend its average debt
expiry profile and the absence of loan to value covenants is an asset in the
current economic environment.
From a UK perspective, RI plc has a conservative debt profile with a current
overall loan-to-value ratio of circa 61%.
Market Overview
The three major economies in which the Group operates showed mixed economic
conditions during the period under review.
In the UK GDP shrank by 0.5% in Q4 of 2010 (Source: UK Office for National
Statistics), but is expected to grow during Q1 2011. The Bank of England is
being squeezed by an above target inflation rate and a below target growth
rate and is expected to err on supporting growth at the expense of a slightly
higher inflation rate over the medium-term. Consumer confidence is fragile
and although business confidence appears to be building, the economy is
likely to move sideways for the remainder of this financial year. Growth in
rentals is therefore expected to remain subdued, with the result that cash
flow and yield will be the predominant determinants of property returns
during this period.
UK banks continue to be net negative lenders to the property sector,
effectively putting a limit on short term capital growth. More positively,
Jones Lang Lasalle recently published an estimate that equity investors
currently have more than GBP 52 billion earmarked for the UK commercial
property market. This fresh equity could materially alleviate any short-to-
medium-term refinancing pressures for commercial property loans, and support
UK commercial property prices.
In Germany and Switzerland the economic recovery continues to gain momentum
and the European Central Bank has commenced the tightening phase with a 25
basis point increase announced on 7 April 2011. Properties held by the Group
in these geographical regions continue to perform well.
In Australia the economic recovery is proceeding strongly with the Central
Bank already having increased interest rates four times since the interest
rate cycle bottomed.
Prospects
As a consequence of the emergence from the deep recession caused by the
global financial crisis (albeit it at different rates in different countries
and regions), the ultra-loose monetary policy implemented by the world`s
leading central banks is expected to be phased out in the months and years
ahead.
The higher nominal interest rate environment, together with higher inflation
and government austerity measures, will be the biggest factors influencing
property returns. The Investment Manager, Redefine International Fund
Managers ("RIFM"), believes that the Group`s current investment portfolio is
well diversified and defensive; and is well placed to weather these short
term pressures and provide solid returns to shareholders in the medium to
long term.
Factors such as rental indexations to the Consumer Price Index and the Retail
price Index as well as long term fixed rate debt and lease contracts will
benefit the Group during the economic adjustment period ahead.
Economic growth is expected to revert to trend once the austerity and other
measures have had time to feed through the system.
On a more positive note, the forecasts for hotel income in the period ahead
are very encouraging and hence bode well for RI plc`s annual operating lease
review of its investment in the hotel property portfolio.
PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") in their recent "UK Hotels Forecast 2011
and 2012" make the following comment:
"... the performance for 2010 was better than our original forecast, closing
an exceptional year for London with overall Revenue per available room
("RevPAR") growth of 11.4%. Given the better than expected finish to 2010,
our 2011 forecast for London is now for slightly lower RevPAR growth of 8.3%,
reflecting harder comparatives and above average levels of new supply; slower
growth but no re-Olympic dip.
We have introduced some new analysis this time showing how performance
compares to a 22 year long term real RevPAR average. This shows that London
has remained above the long term average of GBP 83.20 throughout the downturn
(albeit only just in 2009) and is now heading into very positive territory."
Dividend
The Board has declared an interim dividend of 2.03 pence per share. The
dividend will be payable to RI plc shareholders in accordance with the
abbreviated timetable set out below:
Last day to trade "cum" dividend Monday, 9 May 2011
"Ex" dividend Wednesday, 11 May 2011
Record date Friday, 13 May 2011

Auditors` Independent review report to Redefine International plc
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed consolidated
interim financial statements in the interim financial report for the six
months ended 28 February 2011 which comprises the condensed consolidated
statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of
financial position, the condensed consolidated statement of cash-flows, the
condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the related
explanatory notes.
We have read the other information contained in the interim financial report
and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material
inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial
statements.
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with the terms of our
engagement letter. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to
the Company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and
for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not
accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company for our
review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.
Directors` Responsibility
The interim financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved
by, the Directors. As disclosed in Note 1, the annual financial statements of
the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs. The Directors are
responsible for ensuring that the condensed set of financial statements
included in this interim financial report has been prepared in accordance
with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed
consolidated interim financial statements in the interim financial report
based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Auditing
Practices Board. A review of interim financial information consists of making
enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does
not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all
significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do
not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in the
interim report for the six months ended 28 February 2011 is not prepared, in
all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of preparation
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the
Company for the six months ended 28 February 2011 consolidate the
Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the `Group`). They
are presented in pound sterling which represents the functional currency
of the Company and are rounded to the nearest thousand. The condensed
consolidated interim financial statements are prepared on the historical
cost basis except for the following assets and liabilities which are
stated at fair value: investment properties and financial instruments at
fair value through profit or loss.
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application
of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and
expenses. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. In
preparing these interim financial statements, the significant judgements
made by management in applying the Company`s accounting policies and the
key sources of estimation uncertainty relate to the valuation of
investment property detailed in note 3.
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on
a going concern basis as the Directors consider this the most
appropriate basis.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the
year ended 31 August 2010 are available upon request from the Company`s
Registered Office at Channel House, Green Street, St, Helier, Jersey JE2
4UH or at www.redefineinternational.je.
Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as
adopted by EU. They do not include all of the information required for
full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the
period ended 31 August 2010.
Both interim figures for the six months ended 28 February 2011 and the
comparative amounts for the five months ended 28 February 2010 are
unaudited. Both sets of interim figures have however been reviewed by
the Auditors. The summary financial statements for the year ended 31
August 2010, as presented in the condensed consolidated interim
financial statements, represent an abbreviated version of the Group`s
full accounts for that period, on which independent auditors issued an
unqualified audit report. The financial information presented herein
does not amount to statutory financial statements.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by
the Board of Directors on 14 April 2011.
2. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed
consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied
by the Group in its audited financial statements as at and for the year
ended 31 August 2010, except for the additional accounting policies
noted below:
Capital instrument
A financial instrument or its component parts is classified on initial
recognition as a financial liability, a financial asset or an equity
instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual
arrangement.
An instrument is classified as equity where there is no contractual
obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another party,
or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another
party under potentially unfavourable conditions (for the issuer of the
instrument) or where the instrument will or may be settled for a fixed
number of the entity`s own equity instruments.
Equity instruments are recognised initially at their fair value with any
directly attributable costs allocated to the instrument. The equity
instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition.
Payments in relation to the capital instrument are deemed to be share
based payments and are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income
due to the unavoidable nature of the obligation. See note 18 for
further details.
Restructured debt
A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (i.e. it
is discharged, cancelled or expires) which may happen when a payment is
made to the lender, the borrower legally is released from primary
responsibility for the financial liability or where there is an exchange
of debt instruments with substantially different terms or a substantial
modification of the terms of an existing debt instrument.
Any difference between the carrying amount of the original liability and
the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss. The
consideration paid includes non-financial assets transferred and the
assumption of liabilities, including the new modified financial
liability. Any new financial liability recognised is measured initially
at fair value. Any costs or fees incurred are recognised as part of the
gain or loss on extinguishment and do not adjust the carrying amount of
the new liability.
3. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
Investment property valuation
The property valuations continue to be prepared in a period of market
uncertainty. The current turmoil in the world`s financial markets has
resulted in commercial and residential properties selling in much
reduced quantities with virtually little or no market activity in some
areas. Many vendors are choosing not to go to the market until
conditions improve. Many purchasers are choosing not to buy now in the
expectation that market conditions will continue to deteriorate and they
will be able to purchase more favourably in the future. Other
transactions are failing due to the current difficulty in funding
acquisitions. The lack of market activity and the resulting lack of
market evidence means that it is generally not possible to value
properties with as high a degree of certainty as would be the case in a
more stable market with a good level of market evidence.
The best evidence of fair value is current prices in an active market
for similar lease and other contracts. In the absence of such
information, the Group determines the amount within a range of
reasonable estimates.
The Group considers information from a variety of sources including:
- independent valuers;
- current prices in an active market for properties of a different
nature, condition or location, adjusted for those differences;
- recent prices from similar properties in less active markets, with
adjustments to reflect any changes in economic conditions;
- discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates of
future cash flows, derived from the terms of any existing leases
and from external evidence such as current market rents for similar
properties in the same location and condition, and using discount
rates that reflect current market assessments.
4. Taxation
The Group is exempt from all forms of taxation in Jersey, including
income, capital gains and withholding taxes. In jurisdictions other than
Jersey, foreign taxes will, in some cases, be withheld at source on
dividends and interest received by the Group. Other than Germany,
Switzerland and, as described below certain UK capital gains, gains
derived by the Group in such jurisdictions will generally be exempt from
foreign income or withholding taxes at source.
Income tax expense
The Group invests in UK property and therefore is liable to income tax
in the UK on the net rental profits. The current rate of UK income tax
for a non-resident company is 20%. Based on current UK law, certain
joint ventures in the Group will be subject to UK capital gains tax, or
corporation tax on capital gains, on the realisation of UK investment
property gains.
The Group invests in Swiss property and therefore is liable to cantonal
and federal taxes in Switzerland. The rates depend largely on the canton
in which the property is situated and the property values. The effective
rates of tax range from 22% to 25%.
The Group also invests in German properties held either in corporates or
partnerships. The effective rate of tax ranges from 18.463% to 25% and
the rate of capital gains tax on future disposals ranges from 15.825% to
20%.
Provision has been made for deferred capital gains tax in all relevant
entities, where taxable temporary differences arise.
All current year taxes arise in jurisdictions outside Jersey.
The Group`s investment in the Australian resident Cromwell Property
Group is held through an Irish Section 110 company. Un-franked dividends
received from the Cromwell Group are subject to an Australian
withholding tax of 7.5%.
Deferred taxation
As the majority of the Group`s assets (owned through subsidiary and
jointly controlled entities) are currently reflected at fair values
below their purchase prices, and a significant portion of property
assets are owned by companies in zero capital gains tax jurisdictions,
the consequences of recovery through use and ultimately sale creates a
deferred tax asset.
The deferred tax asset is limited to the amount of any deferred tax
liability raised, being that portion of the deferred tax asset that is
recoverable. The net effect of GBP nil is therefore reflected in the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Recovery of these deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of
sufficient future taxable income. In order to recognise an asset, it
must be probable that deductible temporary differences in excess of
existing taxable temporary differences will be available at the date the
taxable differences reverse.
The most significant asset in this case is investment property, which is
expected to be recovered through a combination of use (rental to third
parties) and ultimately by sale. In determining the amount of deferred
tax to be calculated, accounting standards require:
i) the revaluation of land to be separated from that of the buildings
and deferred tax to be computed using the consequences of sale; and
ii) in respect of the buildings, management is required to estimate the
expected period of use until sale and an estimated sales value
(residual). The temporary difference is then split between a use and a
sale component and the respective tax consequences applied to each
component.
5. Segment reporting
The Group`s identified reportable segments are the geographical
locations in which it operates, which are generally managed by separate
management teams. As required by IFRS 8, Operating Segments, the
segmental analysis below follows the information provided to the Board
of directors, who are the Chief Operating Decision Makers.
The relevant revenue, assets and capital expenditure are set out below:

12. Investment property
The book cost of properties as at 28 February 2010 was GBP 371,524,441
(2010: GBP 190,799,975). The carrying amount of investment property,
apart from the investment property on which development is planned at
Delamere Place Crewe, is the fair value of the property as determined
annually by a registered independent appraiser having an appropriate
recognised professional qualification and recent experience in the
location and category of the property being valued. The carrying amount
of the investment property at Delamere Place Crewe is the fair value as
determined by directors` valuation.
Fair values were determined having regard to recent market transactions
for similar properties in the same location as the Group`s investment
property. The valuers have also considered the rental status of each
property and current market yields. The Group is also exposed to the
risks associated with investment property held within joint venture and
associated entities, which are equity accounted.
The Directors have estimated the recoverable value of the property under
development based on expected/agreed development plans and have made a
number of assumptions in deriving this value, including, in their view,
various reasonable long-term assumptions relating to likely interest
rates and the ultimate rental potential of the development and likely
expected yields in the range of 6%-8%. Based on these calculations,
which, given current market conditions and the uncertainties in
projecting these assumptions forward, are subjective, the directors have
valued the property under development at GBP 17.15 million (31 Aug
2010: GBP 22.7 million).
Investment property comprises a number of commercial and retail
properties that are leased to third parties. All investment properties
are income generating, as is the investment property on which
development is planned.
Property operating expenses in the income statement of comprehensive
income relate solely to income generating properties.

18. Capital instrument
As part of the Aviva debt restructuring RI plc has entered into a GBP 13
million facility (the "convertible loan") with Aviva. The capital
instrument incurs a charge of 6% per annum, which is rolled up until
payment at the Company`s discretion or conversion. The capital plus
rolled up charge is repayable at the Company`s discretion in cash or
through conversion to shares 3 years after the date of the agreement or
on any earlier date if there is an event of default.
Should the capital instrument together with charges not be repaid, RI
plc will be required to issue shares ("conversion shares") to discharge
the outstanding amount due, the number of which is calculated by
dividing the outstanding amount by 50 pence per ordinary share in RI
plc.
The new capital instrument is an equity instrument under IAS 32 as it is
to be settled in either cash or a fixed number of equity shares at the
discretion of the company. The fixed number of shares to be issued
changes over time but is fully predetermined based on the time the
company chooses to settle the instrument. The additional shares that
arise over time are charged to profit or loss in each period as a share
based payment charge and is credited to the equity reserve.
