COMMENTARY

INTRODUCTION

Rebosis is a JSE listed real estate investment trust (REIT) with a high quality diversified portfolio across commercial and retail assets. The majority of the commercial 
income enjoys a sovereign underpin from leases to national government departments across 36 buildings. Its retail portfolio has a mix of dominant and newly built shopping 
centres set to dominate in their nodes in Port Elizabeth (Baywest Mall) and Centurion (Forest Hill City).

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Difficult trading conditions in the retail sector, the uncertainty around Brexit and the National and Provincial elections influenced the environment in which the company 
operated during the first six months of the financial year. 


Distributable income decreased by 61% from R504 million to R195 million for this reporting period of which R96 million was as a direct result of New Frontier Properties. 
In addition, finance costs increased by R97 million due to lower income from cross currency swaps, higher average debt levels and higher borrowing costs. The loss of 
rental warranty income of R42 million and rate rebates of R24 million reduced the distributable income further.

The Board deemed it prudent to deleverage the fund and has therefore resolved to not declare an interim dividend, but rather intends to distribute a full year dividend at 
the final distribution date, being after the conclusion of its year ending 31 August 2019.

The carrying value of the investment portfolio has been adjusted to reflect the values of the assets as per the sales transactions that were announced. The value of the 
direct investment in New Frontier Properties and the loan to the BEE consortium has been written down to the underlying net asset value. The impairment of New Frontier 
Properties of R1 957 million together with the valuation adjustments above, resulted in the loan to value  increasing from 51.6% as at 31 August 2018 to 57.1%.

Our South African retail portfolio consists of six high-quality, dominant shopping malls with strong anchor national tenants delivering income streams escalating at a 
weighted average of 6.9%. The office portfolio consists of 36 buildings in nodes attractive to government tenants. These buildings are mainly single-tenanted buildings let 
to the National Department of Public Works, providing for a weighted average escalations of 7.2%. The office portfolio represents a defensive sovereign underpin, shielding 
the group from private sector risks such as tenant insolvency and default which are material risks in the context of sluggish economic growth and constrained consumer 
spend.

The group's expiry profile by gross lettable area is as follows:

FUNDING

At 28 February 2019, Rebosis' borrowings decreased to R10.1 billion from R10.8 billion as 31 August 2018 due to the utilisation of the proceeds from the Boxwood disposal, 
partially offset by the distribution payment.

The weighted average cost of debt for the six month period increased from 9.3% to 9.5%, largely due to the increase in the Prime rate as well as the refinancing of some of 
the 3m Jibar facilities to Prime facilities.

There are currently hedge arrangements in place for 83.9% of the debt.

The loan to value increased from 51.6% to 57.1% mainly resulting from the write down of New Frontier Properties, the revaluation of assets held for sale and the 
distribution.

SEGMENT REPORT

The group classifies segments based on the type of property i.e. Commercial, Retail, Industrial, and Other. Properties can be mixed use properties. In this instance the 
property will be classified according to its principle use. Accordingly, the group only has three reporting segments as set out below. Some of the buildings do have a 
small retail component (normally at street level), but seldom exceeds 10% of the total GLA per building
These operating segments are managed separately based on the nature of the operations. For each of the segments, the group's CEO (the group's chief operating decision-
maker) reviews internal management reports monthly. The CEO considers earnings before taxation to be an appropriate measure of each segment's performance.

                                                                                     Property portfolio                                  Admin and

ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND RESTATEMENTS

i) Change in accounting policy

During the year, the Group adopted the New IFRS 9 Financial Instruments standard. IFRS 9 replaces the "incurred loss" model in IAS 39 with a forward-looking "expected 
credit loss (ECL) " model. This requires a loss allowance to be recognised at the amount equal to the lifetime ECLs. Lifetime ECLs result from all possible default events 
over the expected life of a financial instrument.

This requires considerable judgement over how changes in economic factors affect ECLs, which will be determined on a probability-weighted basis.

The new impairment model applies to the following financial instruments that are not measured at Fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL):

- financial assets that are debt instruments;
- lease receivables; and
- loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts issued (previously impairment was measured under IAS 37 Provisions, Contigent Liabilities and Contingent Assets).

Under IFRS 9, no impairment loss is recognised on equity investments.

Impact of assessment

The most significant impact on the Group's financial statements from the implementation of IFRS 9 is expected to result from the new impairment requirements. Impairment 
losses will increase and become more volatile for financial instruments in the scope of the IFRS 9 impairment model.

The Group has estimated that, on adoption of IFRS 9 at 1 September 2018, the net financial impact of the change in classification and measurement after tax is a reduction 
in opening retained earnings of R66million.

ii) Prior period restatement

The Group had incorrectly accounted for a portion of the Goodwill amounting to R132million arising from the acquisition of Billion Property Developments, Baywest City 
Mall, Billion Asset Managers and Billion Property Services on 1 September 2016. This amount was reflected under the short-term portion of other financial assets in the 
annual financial statements for the year-ended 31 August 2018.

This should have reduced the gain on bargain purchase which was recognised in the 2017 financial year. Accordingly the asset of R132million has been written off against 
the retained earnings of 2017.

Impact of assessment

The Group has estimated that the net financial impact of the change in classification and measurement after tax is a reduction in opening retained earnings of R132million.

                                                                       Adjustments

DECLARATION AND PAYMENT OF CASH DIVIDEND

The Rebosis Board has resolved not to declare an interim dividend but to distribute a full year dividend at the final distribution date.

RETAIL DISPOSAL SUBSEQUENT TO 28 FEBRUARY 2019

Shareholders are referred to the Sens announcement dated 12 May 2019 dealing with the disposal of retail assets.
The Company has entered into a sale of rental enterprise agreement with Vukile Property Fund Limited, dated 12 May 2019 to dispose of the Mdantsane City Shopping Centre, 
the Sunnypark Shopping Centre and the Bloedstreet Mall together with rental enterprises conducted thereon. The properties and the rental enterprises will be sold, as a 
going concern, for a purchase consideration of R1,777 billion, which represents a 9% yield on the twelve month forward net income of the properties. This transaction is 
subject to due diligence and regulatory processes.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The unaudited results for the six months ended 28 February 2019 have not been reviewed or reported on by the company's independent auditors, BDO South Africa Incorporated. 
These results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, the SAICA Financial Reporting 
Guides issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council, JSE Listings 
Requirements and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.

All amendments to standards that are applicable to Rebosis for its financial year beginning 1 September 2018 have been considered. Based on management's assessment, the 
amendments do not have a material impact on the group's condensed consolidated interim financial statements with the exception of IFRS 9. The impact of IFRS 9 has resulted 
in the restatement of certain items in the Statement of Financial Position.

The accounting policies are consistent with those applied in the previous consolidated annual financial statements except for the adoption of the new standard - IFRS 9 
Financial instruments. According to the new standard, Rebosis has applied the "credit loss" model for the measurement of financial assets, specifically to trade 
receivables. These financial results have been prepared under the supervision of the Chief Financial Officer, I King, (CA) SA.

The directors are not aware of any matters or circumstances arising subsequent to 28 February 2019 that require any additional disclosure or adjustment to the financial 
statements, other than as disclosed in this announcement.

CHANGE IN DIRECTORATE

There has been no changes in directors since the last reporting period.

PROSPECTS

The trading conditions will remain challenging for the remainder of this year. Rebosis will have a strong focus on operations with an accelerated focus on renewing the 
remaining office leases. The office portfolio has delivered a 5.3% net property income growth in the reporting period. Filling up the remaining vacancies at Forest Hill 
will continue to be an area of importance to the team. 

The main focus will be on the successful completion of the announced disposals and the disposal of the second tranche of the retail portfolio. This in turn will also serve 
to reduce the loan to value to below 40%.

The company incurred high levels of financing costs as a result of the high debt levels, this is expected to reduce significantly following the reduction in the expected 
loan to value level and should have a positive impact on the earnings.

The prospects statement is issued by the board and has not been reviewed or reported on by the company's external auditors.
