2  FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR VUKILE                                                 
Vukile"s net profit before tax, debenture interest and fair value adjustment    
amounted to R223 million for the year ended 31 March 2006 compared to the R172  
million for the previous year, an increase of 30%.  MICC contributed R71 million
to net profit before tax, debenture interest and fair value adjustment for the  
year ended 31 March 2006.  For the year ended 31 March 2005, only 3 months of   
MICC"s post acquisition income was reflected in the group accounts and hence any
comparison with the prior year is not meaningful.  These results have been      
achieved on the back of a strong performance by the underlying properties,      
reduced finance costs and a decrease in the overall vacancy of the Vukile       
portfolio as a percentage of gross rentals, from 4.1% at 31 March 2005 to 3.6%  
at 31 March 2006 with a similar decrease in the overall vacancy of the MICC     
portfolio as a percentage of gross rentals from 6.9% to 5.9%.

The board has approved a final distribution of 36.0 cents per linked unit for   
the period from 1 October 2005 to 31 March 2006, an increase of 14.3% over the  
comparable period and an increase of 11.4% for the full year ended 31 March     
2006.                                                                           
3  ACQUISITION OF MICC PROPERTY INCOME FUND LIMITED ("MICC")                    
Vukile owned 98.9% of MICC"s issued linked units at 31 March 2006 and gave      
notice to invoke section 440K of the Companies Act to compulsorily acquire the  
remaining linked units in MICC.  The company issued a SENS announcement on 4 May
2006, advising that a linked unitholder owning 9 825 MICC linked units          
(representing 0.01% of MICC"s total issued capital), filed an application with  
the High Court on Friday 28 April 2006 opposing Vukile"s notice to invoke       
section 440K.  Vukile intends opposing such application.  A date for the hearing
of the application has not yet been determined.  Accordingly, the listing of    
MICC"s linked units on the JSE and the Namibian Stock Exchange was not          
terminated on Friday, 5 May 2006, but will continue to be suspended until       
further notice.

Vukile launched a R2 billion commercial mortgage backed securitisation (CMBS)   
programme on 7 November 2005, to refinance its existing bank debt and reduce the
cost of funding its property investments.  The overall cost of the company"s    
long-term debt, taking all upfront, ongoing and hedging costs to implement the  
programme into account, has reduced from 11.28% to 9.99% (NACM).  A key feature 
of the programme is that the securitised property portfolio, comprising 39 of   
the 53 Vukile properties, is owned directly by Vukile and not by a special      
purpose vehicle.  Consequently, there was no need to transfer properties,       
resulting in a reduction in overall costs of implementation.  The first issuance
under the programme comprises five and seven year floating rate notes for a     
total amount of R770 million.  The floating rate notes are converted into fixed 
rate exposure by way of interest rate swaps.  The securitisation notes were     
rated by Moody"s Investor Services, as follows:

Guarantees in lieu of municipal service deposits amount to R7.4 million.  (2005:
R7.2 million)                                                                   
Capital Expenditure                                                             
The company is authorised and contracted to redevelop its Phoenix and           
Dobsonville shopping centres, to acquire a 50% undivided share in Kings Road    
Pinetown, a 50% undivided interest in a mini warehouse development on its vacant
land in Allandale at an overall cost of R192.8 million.                         
Capital expenditure authorized but not contracted for amounts to R19.8 million. 
It is intended that this capital expenditure will be funded by bank facilities  
and by the issue of new linked units.                                           
11  SHARE CAPITAL AND DEBENTURES                                                
Each linked unit comprises one share of one cent (and a share premium of nine   
cents) linked to one debenture of 490 cents.  Interest payable on one debenture 
is 490 times greater than the dividend payable per share.  The company had 272  
429 490 linked units in issue at 31 March 2006.

It is with regret that we note Keith Bothongo"s resignation, for personal       
reasons, effective 6 October 2005.  The board appreciates the excellent         
contribution by Keith to the company"s affairs during his period as a director. 
13  PROSPECTS                                                                   
Vukile has delivered growth in distributions of 14.3% for the 6 month comparable
period and 11.4% for the full year.  It is unrealistic to expect this kind of   
performance on a sustainable basis going forward.  However, the directors are of
the opinion that the expected continued strong performance of the underlying    
properties and the savings in debt costs generated by the securitisation project
for the full period will reflect positively in the distribution for the six     
month period ending 30 September 2006, barring any unforeseen occurrences.      
14  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS                                                  
During the period, the group, in the ordinary course of business, entered into  
various transactions with related parties.  These transactions occurred on terms
that are no more favourable than those arranged with third parties.
