By market capitalisation, Redefine is the second largest South African          
property loan stock company listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("JSE")   
with a diverse range of property assets under management exceeding R37          
billion. The company`s property portfolio consisted of 358 properties located   
in South Africa valued at R20 billion and a R5 billion portfolio of strategic   
listed securities. The Redefine portfolio is further geographically             
diversified by 184 offshore properties and listed securities valued at R12      
billion held through Redefine Properties International Limited ("RIN") and its  
67% owned subsidiary Redefine International P.L.C. ("RI"), which are listed on  
the JSE and the London Stock Exchange ("LSE") respectively.                     
Redefine is committed to being the property owner of choice and is focused on   
achieving sustained growth in distributions and increasing net asset value.     
The company seeks to meet its objectives through continuous improvement in the  
quality of the core property portfolio, prudent management of debt, superior    
property management, effective management of strategic listed investments and   
exploiting its ability to identify and execute value-adding development and     
corporate opportunities.                                                        
Financial results                                                               
Redefine has declared a distribution of 37 cents per linked unit for the six    
months ended 31 August 2011, which combined with the distribution of 31 cents   
for the half year ended 28 February 2011, results in a total distribution of    
68 cents per linked unit for the year ended 31 August 2011. On a comparable     
recurring income basis, the total distribution is 3% ahead of last year, after  
excluding fee income from the current and prior year`s distributions of 4.6     
cents and 5.0 cents per linked unit respectively.                               
On a geographic basis, South Africa generated 93% of distributable income.      
Contractual rental income comprised 79% of total revenue, income from listed    
securities 10%, hotel income 5%, and trading and fee income 6%. Operating       
costs represent 26.5% (31 August 2010: 21.5%) of contractual rental income,     
with 26% of the 5% increase caused by increases in local municipal and          
electricity charges that are not fully recoverable from tenants and non-        
recurring costs incurred as a result of internalising property management The   
inclusion of foreign hotels added 2% to the increase and the balance was due    
to RI carrying the increase in service charges on new leases.                   
RIN along with Redefine International Fund Managers Limited ("RIFM"), the fund  
manager of RI, contributed 5.0 cents per linked unit to the distribution for    
the year.                                                                       
Impairment of financial assets, PPE and goodwill                                
The impairment of financial assets, PPE and goodwill mainly comprises the       
write-down of goodwill recognised on consolidation of RI and a capital loss     
arising from the disposal of the Upper East Side Hotel amounting to R655        
million and R182 million respectively.                                          
Changes in fair values                                                          
The property portfolio was valued at 31 August 2011 resulting in a net          
increase in value of R285 million. The South African portfolio increased by     
R403 million while the offshore portfolio decreased by R118 million. The        
investment in South African listed securities increased in value by R232        
million during the period under review, while RI`s interest in the Cromwell     
Property Group ("Cromwell"), a listed Australian property trust, increased in   
value by R115 million prior to being accounted for as an associate. The         
balance mainly relates to the mark to market of the group`s interest rate       
swaps.

Property portfolio strategy                                                     
At 31 August 2011, the property portfolio comprised 358 properties with a       
total gross lettable area ("GLA") of 3.2 million mSquared valued at R17

Redefine has made significant progress in implementing its strategy of          
restructuring and improving the quality of its core property portfolio. In      
this process, the number of properties will decline to approximately 258 and    
the average property value will increase from R50 million to R80 million. The   
total portfolio value will increase to approximately R20 billion.

with a primary listing on the LSE. The merger was undertaken by means of a      
recommended all share offer ("the offer") by RI for the entire issued ordinary  
share capital of RIHL.                                                          
Under the terms of the offer, RIHL shareholders received 7.2 RI shares for      
each RIHL share.

RIN`s group financial statements have been prepared assuming an acquisition     
date of 31 August 2011 the effect of which is that the acquired business does   
not contribute to either the net loss or fair value adjustments. If the         
acquisition occurred on 1 September 2010, RIN`s management estimate that their  
consolidated revenue would have been R755 million and consolidated loss for     
the year would have been R496 million. In determining these amounts, RIN`s      
management has assumed that the fair value adjustments that arose on the date   
of acquisition would have been the same if the acquisition occurred on 1        
September 2010.                                                                 
The business combinations have been accounted for using provisional figures in  
terms of IFRS 3 - "Business Combinations". The excess of the purchase price     
over RI`s net assets has been reflected as goodwill. A detailed assessment of   
the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired will be completed   
by the 2012 financial year end and the required adjustments processed.          
Distribution adjustment                                                         
It is Redefine`s policy to distribute its share of income from foreign          
subsidiaries to the extent of dividends received. Accordingly, an adjustment    
has been made to the company`s distributable earnings for the period to equate  
the consolidated results from its foreign subsidiaries for the period to the    
anticipated dividends.                                                          
Interest in associates and joint ventures                                       
This comprises Cromwell, together with Redefine`s interest in joint venture     
property investments of R30 million.                                            
Funding                                                                         
Excluding RI, as at 31 August 2011, Redefine`s local borrowings of R8 billion   
represent 28.8% of the value of its local property and listed securities        
portfolio. Redefine`s average cost of funding is 9.57% and the interest rates   
are fixed on 74% of borrowings for an average period of six years. Following    
the business combination, RI`s borrowings of R11 billion are all negotiated     
directly by RI and have no recourse to Redefine`s South African balance sheet.  
On 5 September 2011, Redefine made its debut in the local bond market with an   
issue of R250 million 90 day Commercial Paper (maturing on 7 December 2011)     
under its R5 billion Domestic Medium Term Note Programme, which is listed on    
the Interest Rate Market of the JSE. The issue was priced at an all-in rate of  
5.925%.                                                                         
Redefine was assigned an investment-grade credit rating by Moody`s with a       
stable outlook as follows:

Change in accounting policy                                                     
Deferred taxation                                                               
Redefine has early adopted the amendment to IAS 12. Deferred taxation is now    
recognised on the revaluation of the building component of investment           
properties at the capital gains tax rate on the presumption that the            
investment will be recovered through disposal and will therefore attract        
capital gains tax.  Redefine has applied the amendment retrospectively as       
required by IAS 8. The early adoption has had the effect of reducing the 2009   
deferred taxation balance with a corresponding increase in opening 2010         
reserves by R728 million. The effect on the 2010 deferred taxation balance and  
opening reserves was a net decrease of R38 million. The prior year adjustments  
are outlined by way of a third column in the statements of financial position.  
Accounting for joint ventures                                                   
Redefine has change its accounting policy for joint ventures from proportional  
consolidation to the equity accounting method as an allowed alternative in IAS  
31. The effect of this change has no material impact on the financial           
statements and accordingly they have not been restated.                         
Contingencies                                                                   
At 31 August 2011, Redefine had guarantees and suretyships in respect of its    
BEE initiatives and joint ventures amounting to R320 million and R30 million    
respectively.                                                                   
Property management                                                             
The property management function, which was previously outsourced, was          
internalised during the year. Redefine believes that this will enhance its      
tenant offering and result in increased efficiencies and economies. The         
benefit of this initiative began to be realised in the second half of 2011.     
Prospects                                                                       
The domestic economy has not escaped the impacts of global financial market     
turmoil. Despite ongoing challenging market conditions, the core property       
portfolio is anticipated to achieve satisfactory growth, in line with the       
restructuring strategy. This will be offset by the immediate negative impact    
of the Arrowhead unbundling and the lower yields arising from acquisitions.     
As a result, distributable income on a recurring income basis is anticipated    
to reduce moderately in 2012. Fee and trading income are largely                
unpredictable. From a unitholder perspective, recognising the forecast          
Arrowhead distribution, a modest decrease in total unitholder income is         
anticipated. This forecast has not been reviewed or reported on by the group`s  
independent external auditors.                                                  
Debenture interest distribution                                                 
Unitholders are advised that interest distribution number 45 of 37 cents per    
linked unit has been declared for the six months ended 31 August 2011. The      
distribution will be payable to Redefine linked unitholders in accordance with  
the abbreviated timetable set out below:                                        
                                            2011

Payment date                                 Monday, 28 November                
There may be no dematerialisation or rematerialisation of linked units between  
Monday, 21 November 2011 and Friday, 25 November 2011, both days inclusive.     
The next interest distribution will be for the six months ending 28 February    
2012 payable during May 2012.                                                   
Basis of preparation                                                            
The results for the year ended 31 August 2011 have been reviewed by the         
group`s independent external auditors PKF (Jhb) Inc. The auditor`s review       
opinion is available for inspection at the company`s registered office. These   
results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial           
Reporting Standards, IAS 34 - Interim Final Reporting, the AC500 series issued  
by the Accounting Practices Board, JSE Listings Requirements and the            
requirements of the South African Companies Act, 2008. With the exception of    
deferred taxation and accounting for joint ventures, the accounting policies    
used are consistent with those applied in the annual financial statements for   
the year ended 31 August 2010.                                                  
These financial results have been prepared under the supervision of Andrew      
Konig (CA)SA, the financial director of the group.
