ABRIDGED AUDITED RESULTS For the year ended 31 August 2021

INTRODUCTION


Further to the reviewed results for the year ended 31 August 2021 ("Reviewed Results")
released on SENS on 2 December 2021, the company's audited annual results for
the year ended 31 August 2021 ("Audited Results") contain changes to the Reviewed Results,
which has necessitated the release of these abridged Audited Results.


FINANCIAL RESULTS


Net property income decreased by 10% when compared on a like for like basis to the prior year.
This is as a result of reversions on the portfolio, as well as increase in rates assessments.
The distributable income before tax excluding once off items (capitalised interest and operating
expenses on deferred payment liability) is R83 million.

The higher distributable income is as a result of a decrease in the head office costs of the
group to R151 million (2020: R175 million) and the decrease in finance costs relating to bank
facilities to R602 million (2020: R828 million), due to the repo rate cuts and the repayment of
facilities using the proceeds from the Medscheme sale.

The Board deemed it prudent to deleverage the fund and has therefore resolved to not declare a
full year dividend for the year ended 31 August 2021 (31 August 2020: Nil).

The retail and commercial property portfolio was independently valued at year end, taking into
account COVID-19 considerations. During the period, proceeds from the disposal of Medscheme were
used to settle Standard Bank facilities to the value of R89.1 million.

The fair value of the Rebosis Property Portfolio as at 31 August 2021 amounted to R13.1 billion
(0.3% growth year on year, excluding the Medscheme building disposal). This is mainly attributable
to successful government lease renewals completed, and the continued strong covenant tenant profile
in the retail portfolio with long term lease profile.

The significant changes to the Reviewed Results relate primarily to classification differences in
the Cash Flow Statement:

1. This movement is the aggregate of:
   -  R21 million restructuring fees were excluded from the finance costs. It has been included
      in Finance costs under the Cash flow from operating activities.
   -  Items 2. and 3. below.
2. R15 million relating to interest on the land transaction and the deferred payment liability was
   restated to reflect the actual cash flow movement.
3. An interest payment reclassification of R83 million relating to derivatives and interest swaps
   previously disclosed as Cash flow from financing activities. This has now been correctly reflected
   as Finance costs under Cash Flows from operating activities.
4. A renewal loan of R21 million was not separately disclosed. This has now been reflected separately
   under the Cash flow from financing activities.

Condensed statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income

An amount of R5 million was reclassified from changes in fair values and impairments to operating
expenses-normal.
