COMMENTARY
Review of results
Redefine Income Fund Limited ("Redefine") has increased its interest
distribution to 8 cents per linked unit for the second quarter ended 29 February
2004. Distributions for the six months ended 29 February 2004 total 15,5 cents
per linked unit
Headline earnings per linked unit for the six months ended 29 February 2004 are
15,5 cents per linked unit.
Non-current assets have increased to R2,78 billion at 29 February 2004. The Net
Asset Value ("NAV") per linked unit is R2,65 (Feb 2003:R2,66).
Property portfolio
During the period under review Standard Bank Centre Cape Town which Redefine
acquired for R218 million and Motown Durban which it acquired for R39,5 million
were transferred.
16 properties sold to Prima Property Trust were transferred during the period
under review.
The net effect of acquisitions and sales during the period reduces the number of
properties owned by Redefine to 72.
Sectoral spread by revenue comprises 64% commercial, 22% retail and 14%
industrial. It is Redefine"s intention to increase its retail assets to
approximately 35% of its portfolio.
The lease expiry profile is better than the sector average with 41,7% of leases
expiring in 2008 and beyond.
During the period under review 20 045m2 of vacant space was leased and leases in
respect of 33 411m2 were renewed.
At 29 February 2004, 93,4% of the portfolio was leased.
Listed securities portfolio
Redefine"s listed securities portfolio increased during the period under review
by 14,4% as a result of acquisitions and increases in market value. The market
value of the listed securities portfolio at 29 February 2004 was R1,498 billion.
During the period under review Redefine sold 50 million A-Prop units to Corovest
for R40 million in exchange for listed property units in counters which form
part of Redefine"s core listed securities portfolio.
As a result of the A-Prop clawback offer, Redefine will own 9,7% of
A-Prop, reduced from 31,3%.
Redefine acquired 120 million units in Prima Property Trust from the sale of 16
properties. Redefine currently owns 51,3% of Prima Property Trust units, which
it intends to reduce to below 35% in the medium term.
Shops for Africa unitholders approved the sale of all its properties to ApexHi
Properties in return for ApexHi linked units. Accordingly Redefine will receive
approximately 4 million ApexHi A and B linked units in exchange for its Shops
for Africa units.
Interest rate management
Redefine"s borrowings of R1,54 billion represents gearing of 55%, a reduction
from 58% at August 2003, consistent with the long-term strategy to reduce
gearing to below 45%.
The current average all-in interest rate is 11,96%. 72% of the borrowings are
fixed for periods of five and seven years.
Directorate
Messrs D and J Solomon resigned from the Redefine Board on 21 November 2003. Mr
S Shaw-Taylor was appointed non-executive director on 4 December 2003.
Prospects
The Board anticipates that the distribution per linked unit for the quarter
ended 29 February 2004 will at least be maintained for each quarter in the
remainder of the current financial year.
The property portfolio comprises 45% of Redefine"s total assets. Current yield
differentials favour fixed property and therefore Redefine intends to increase
its fixed property holdings.
Interest distribution
Unitholders are advised that interest distribution No. 16 in respect of the
period 1 December 2003 to 29 February 2004 of 8 cents per linked unit has been
declared.

- Linked units will trade ex interest Friday, 23 April 2004
- Record date Friday, 30 April 2004
- Payment of interest distribution No. 16 Monday, 3 May 2004
Unitholders may not dematerialise or re-materialise their linked units between
