Audit opinion
The independent auditors PKF (Jhb) Inc. have audited the financial statements
from which these results have been extracted. Their unqualified report is
available for inspection at the company"s registered office.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with South African
Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and accounting policies
consistent with those applied in the annual financial statements of the previous
year except for recognition of rental income. In line with the latest
interpretation of AC 105 - Leases, property revenue reflects income recognised
on a straight-line basis. Provision has been made against the resultant asset as
the value of the asset is effectively included in the fair value of the property
portfolio. The change in accounting policy does not have a material effect on
the financial statements.

Property portfolio
The property portfolio comprises 53.06% (2004: 49.92%) of Redefine"s total non-
current assets.
The net effect of acquisitions and sales during the year reduced the number of
properties to 72.
Sectoral spread by revenue comprises 56% commercial, 24% retail and 20%
industrial.
32 161 m2 of vacant space was leased and existing leases in respect of 37 524 m2
were renewed during the year under review.
The lease expiry profile has continued to improve and outperform the sector
average with 57% of leases expiring in 2009 and beyond.
At 31 August 2005, 97.2% of the property portfolio was leased (2004: 94.7%).
Listed securities portfolio
Redefine"s listed securities portfolio increased by R499,3 million (37%) to
R1,85 billion after acquisitions of R241,3 million, disposals of R272,1 million
and an increase in value of
R530,1 million
Borrowings
In accordance with the strategy to reduce gearing to below 45% Redefine"s
borrowings of R1,55 billion represents a gearing ratio of 39.48%, a substantial
reduction from 52.35% in August 2004.
R64,6 million cash, surplus to Redefine"s immediate requirements, has been
deposited temporarily into an access facility.
Prior to 1 July 2005 Redefine hedged its interest rate exposure by means of
interest rate swaps. These swaps were terminated as of 30 June 2005 at a cost of
R97,8 million and Redefine entered into fixed rate loan agreements. The hedging
loss previously deferred in equity was removed from equity and reported in net
profit on termination of the swaps. This expense was adjusted in determining
distributions. The breakage cost was financed by an increase in borrowings.
Redefine"s average all-in interest rate is 10.05% and 83.61% of borrowings are
fixed for periods of three, five, seven and ten years.

Agreements have been concluded for the sale of 18 Hurlingham Road, 22 Hurlingham

R55,4 million). Transfer of the properties is expected to be registered by end
October 2005.
Redefine has acquired an additional 1,5 million units in Martprop Property Fund
for R4,8 million.

made an offer to acquire SA Retail Properties Limited linked units from unit
holders holding SA Retail units. Hyprop issued 1 Hyprop linked unit for every
2,7 SA Retail linked units arising from which Redefine obtained an additional
20,7 million Hyprop linked units.
Redefine has supported a transaction between ApexHi Properties Limited and Prima
Property Trust in terms of which holders of Prima units will receive 5.9 ApexHi
"A" and 5.9 ApexHi "B" units for every 100 Prima units held. As a result
