Market overview

Rural areas:                                                                    
Retail in rural areas has held up well given the state of the economy.  The     
disposable income of rural communities primarily consists of government grants, 
pension payouts and income remittances.  The majority of customers fall into the
lower income brackets.                                                          
Typical successful shopping centres in rural areas are located in close         
proximity to municipal offices, bus depots and taxi ranks.  The majority of     
customers in rural areas rely on public transport.                              
Vukile is represented in the following areas:                                   
*  Malamulele;                                                                  
*  Giyani;                                                                      
*  Monsterlus (Moratiwa);                                                       
*  Piet Retief; and                                                             
*  Kokstad.                                                                     
Vacancies in Vukile shopping centres in rural areas are low at 0.8% of GLA.     
National tenants represent 75% of the GLA of these rural centres and in most    
instances there is good demand from retailers to open new brands or to expand.  
Urban areas:                                                                    
Our major shopping centres in lower income areas, namely Dobsonville Soweto,    
Daveyton and Phoenix were developed in the early nineties and are well          
established in these areas.  Vacancy is low at 2.7% of GLA at these centres and 
there is good demand from retailers to either expand or to open new brands.  The
centres were recently upgraded and/or expanded.                                 
The centres are anchored either by Pick n Pay or Shoprite which reported        
excellent trading densities.  National tenants represent 68% of the GLA of these
urban centres.  Vukile is constantly investigating opportunities to expand the  
centres and to improve the tenant mix.                                          
All three centres are characterised by strong customer loyalty driven by        
Vukile`s involvement with the local communities.  The majority of customers rely
on public transport and taxi ranks are established on site.  Most customers fall
into the lower to middle income brackets.                                       
Namibia:                                                                        
Vukile is represented in Katatura, Oshakati, Ondangwa and Oshikango.  The       
shopping centres in Namibia are performing extremely well and seldom have any   
vacancy.  Vacancies are 0.3% of GLA.  The centres are anchored by Shoprite,     
Spar, Pick n Pay and Game.  Both the Oshakati and Oshikango Centres were        
recently upgraded and expanded and the opportunity exists to further expand     
Oshakati and also Ondangwa Shopping Centre.                                     
The Oshakati Centre is dominating the market and hosts a variety of SA national 
retailers.                                                                      
National tenants comprise 73% of the GLA of the Namibian shopping centres.      
Offices                                                                         
Due to the existing economic climate we have had an increase in vacancies as a  
result of tenants reducing their space and consolidating.  The office market    
remains quiet with limited enquiries for new space.  The renewal of leases in   
our CBD buildings with government tenants is becoming more difficult.  We are   
achieving escalations of between 5% to 8% on renewals and new deals in the      
decentralised areas.  However, the renewals and new deals that are done at the  
moment are mostly short-term leases which indicate that the existing market     
conditions are still under pressure due to the economic climate.                
Industrial                                                                      
In the last three months we have seen interest for new space in the industrial  
market and have been able to let some industrial units, particularly small to   
medium sized units.  This is promising as the market for these size units is    
active and it is mostly short-term as tenants are inclined to renew year on     
year.  The demand for larger size units is quiet.  However, as the economic     
climate improves going forward, business will start expanding, and hence demand 
for larger size units will increase.                                            
Performance of property portfolio                                               
Net profit from property operations for the six months ended 30 September 2011  
amounted to R276.2 million, 8% up on the comparable period.  Details of the     
performance of the property portfolio during the six month period is set out    
below:                                                                          
*  The combined property portfolio currently comprises 74 properties with a     
gross lettable area of 930 405mSquared.                                         
*  The sectoral spread by gross rentals comprises 56% retail, 29% offices, and  
15% industrial.                                                                 
*  During the six month period under review, new leases and renewals with a     
total area of 94 847mSquared and a contract value of R252.7 million, were       
concluded.                                                                      
Impairment allowance                                                            
Bad debt write-offs have increased in line with expectations for the six month  
period due to the difficult trading conditions being experienced.  The          
impairment allowance for trade receivables at 30 September 2011 is R14.3 million
(R9.9 million at 31 March 2011), which is considered adequate at this stage.  A 
summary of the movement in the impairment allowance of trade receivables is set 
out below:

Vacancies                                                                       
The vacancy profile graph (% gross rentals) indicates that the overall vacancy  
percentage has increased from 5.1% at 31 March 2011 to 6.9% at 30 September     
2011.                                                                           
A significant part of the increased vacancy has arisen at Randburg Square.      
Randburg Square is our fourth largest property by value and is well located in  
the Randburg CBD.                                                               
Following an intensive investigation at this centre it has been decided to      
upgrade the mall areas, create a banking mall and a food court and improve the  
sight lines and tenant exposure.                                                
The increased vacancy of 4 259mSquared at Randburg Square is therefore due to   
the extensive upgrade at the centre which has required a tenant re-mix and      
relocation of tenants.  Given the strong tenant demand, once the revamp is      
completed, it is anticipated that there will be little vacancy at Randburg      
Square, thereby reducing the retail vacancy to 3.9% and the overall vacancy to  
approximately 5.9% as compared to 6.9% based on a percentage of gross rentals.  
Although vacancies have increased during the six months from April to September 
2011 mainly in the office and industrial sectors, these increases were not      
generally attributable to the portfolio as a whole, but were at selected        
properties only, i.e. large tenants vacating at Germiston Meadowdale (3         
155mSquared), Parow Industrial Park (4 423mSquared) and Sandton St Andrews (1   
124mSquared).  At Jhb Eva Park the vacancy has increased by a further 1         
372mSquared.  We are in discussions with property brokers and architects to     
improve the marketability of this property as well as generating specific action
plans for the properties referred to above.  Although we have done a number of  
lettings at Midrand Allandale, there were also a number of tenants that vacated 
during the period, resulting in the overall vacancy at the property increasing  
by 520mSquared.  We have, however, seen an increase in enquiries for industrial 
space and remain confident that the vacancy at Allandale should improve as the  
economy recovers.                                                               
The retail sector has performed well in comparison to the industrial and office 
sectors.  This is reflected in the lower increase in rental vacancies compared  
to the other sectors.                                                           
We have introduced attractive leasing incentives at selected properties in order
to reduce the overall vacancy on the portfolio.                                 
The renewal escalations on expiry rentals were positive, as follows:            
*  Retail up 4.7%                                                               
*  Offices up 6.5%                                                              
*  Industrial up 7.7%                                                           
This compares very favourably with SAPOA`s Operating Cost Report 2011 H1 which  
indicated that base rentals have only grown by 0.3% compared to 2010 H1.        
The contracted rental escalation profile graph reflects a positive average      
escalation across all sectors of 8.2%.                                          
Property expenditure                                                            
Recurring property costs have increased by 21% over the comparable period,      
largely driven by the 25% increase in electricity costs.  This increase reduces 
to approximately 13% if electricity costs are excluded from the current and     
comparable costs.  The increase in bad debts makes up 3.6% of the adjusted 13%  
increase, resulting in an increase of 9.4% (excluding electricity costs and the 
increase in bad debts) in respect of all other property expenses.               
4.2  ASSET MANAGEMENT BUSINESS                                                  
4.2.1  Net asset management fees are R500 000 lower than the comparable period  
following the sale by Sanlam of the R541 million portfolio to Vukile in         
September 2010.  Sales commission of R6.3 million is lower than the R16.7       
million earned in the comparable period.  However, given the current sales      
pipeline, it is anticipated that a greater proportion of sales commission will  
be generated over the next six months, whereas in the previous period the bulk  
of sales commission was earned in the first six months.  The asset management   
fees earned in respect of the Vukile portfolio have been excluded from gross    
revenue.                                                                        
4.2.2  Asset management expenditure is R3.86 million higher than the comparable 
period primarily due to a short-term bonus of R1.9 million arising in respect of
the results achieved for the year ended 31 March 2011 and payable in this       
reporting period.                                                               
4.3  CORPORATE ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES                                          
Corporate administrative expenses are R1.9 million lower than the comparable    
period.  A short-term provision of R1.9 million was reversed and reclassified to
the asset management business as set out in paragraph 4.2.2 above and hence has 
had no impact on a group basis.                                                 
4.4  FINANCE COSTS                                                              
The company raised bank debt of R450 million in August 2011 to refinance an     
expiring bank facility.  A R400 million three year loan was concluded at a fixed
all-in rate of 8.66% per annum, inclusive of margin and costs.  A variable rate 
three year loan of approximately R50 million also forms part of the facility.   
Taking the benefits of the lower debt costs into account, the overall cost of   
funding of the Vukile group has reduced from 9.77% at 31 March 2011 to 9.38%.   
The group`s variable interest rate risk on long-term debt is hedged using       
interest rate swap agreements for periods expiring between one and three years. 
Due to the fact that 100% of the group`s interest rate risk on long-term debt is
hedged or fixed, changes in interest rates will have no impact on the group`s   
cost of debt for the current financial year.                                    
The group has a facility of R114 million available which can be utilised without
credit approval due to the equity available in the non-securitised portfolio.   
The group has initiated discussions with various banks to address the group`s   
refinancing requirements in 2012.                                               
5  Acquisition and disposals                                                    
As announced on SENS previously, Giyani Plaza was acquired in July 2011 at a    
cost of R68.4 million (including transaction costs).  The projected net property
revenue in respect of this acquisition of R5 million for the eight month period 
is in line with the acquisition forecast.                                       
The Kleinfontein offices and the Namibian subsidiary which owned Oshakati Beares
Shopping Centre were sold during the reporting period for a total of R7.5       
million, which approximated fair value at 31 March 2011.                        
The movement in investment properties during the reporting period is summarised 
below:

The directors have valued the group`s property portfolio at R5.87 billion as at 
30 September 2011.  Inclusive of the acquisition of Giyani Plaza for R68.4      
million, this represents an increase in the directors` valuation of R417.6      
million as compared to the valuation at 31 March 2011.  The directors have      
valued the property portfolio utilising the discounted cash flow methodology.   
In terms of the company`s accounting policies, approximately 50% of all         
properties are valued every six months on a rotational basis by qualified       
independent external valuers.  The external valuation by Old Mutual Investment  
Group South Africa (Pty) Ltd and Broll Valuation and Advisory Services of       
approximately 51% of the total portfolio is R85 million (2.9%) lower than the   
directors` valuation of the same properties at 30 September 2011.               
This difference is attributable to a marginal difference in views with regards  
to future capitalisation rates and discount rates.

9  Events after the reporting date                                              
The SENS announcement on 14 November 2011 set out details of the agreement to   
purchase 20 properties from Sanlam Life Insurance Limited at a purchase price of
R1.5 billion.  A circular setting out the full details of this acquisition will 
be distributed to unitholders in due course.                                    
10  Strategy                                                                    
We have reviewed our longer-term strategy and are committed to growing the fund 
more aggressively than has previously been the case. We remain committed to     
being a diversified fund but staying overweight in the retail sector.  To that  
end we are exploring acquisitions of retail centres as well as joint venture    
development opportunities in the retail environment that would complement our   
existing portfolio make-up.  We continue to believe in the strength and growth  
of retail in the emerging market and based on the performance of our current    
retail assets will primarily focus our expansion in this market segment.  We    
will however remain open to acquiring assets serving higher income groups should
the right opportunities present themselves.                                     
The acquisition of the portfolio from Sanlam is the first step in our growth    
strategy and will add some R1.5 billion to the value of our portfolio.  Whilst  
we will acquire some retail assets in the portfolio, most notably Durban        
Workshop, the office assets being acquired will enhance the overall quality of  
our office portfolio.                                                           
Vukile has consistently delivered solid growth in distributions and this has    
laid the foundation for the next phase of our growth which will be more         
acquisitive and proactive in nature whilst not detracting focus or attention    
from delivering growth in distributions for our unitholders.                    
11  Prospects                                                                   
While trading conditions are expected to remain soft in the office and          
industrial sectors and given a stable retail environment we remain positive     
about the prospects for the group for the remainder of the financial year and   
expect positive growth in the full year distributions.  This information has not
been audited or reviewed by Vukile`s auditors.
