Chairmans and Managing Directors report
Introduction
The 2009 nancial year can best be described as a difcult year for the economy as a whole. The global nancial markets were under pressure and the effect on the worlds stock markets has been a widespread devaluing of assets. Not surprisingly, consumer condence and spending behaviour have also been affected. Against this economic backdrop, Octodec has operated cautiously over the past year with respect to acquisitions and developments, while enhancing the quality of the portfolio through selective upgrades. Despite the economic downturn and the consequent softening of rental market fundamentals, Octodec continued to produce solid results with an increase in distributable income of 5,1%, and remains well positioned for sustained growth. Octodec once again achieved the accolade of being one of the top performing property companies as reported in the Business Times top 100 companies survey, and recorded the second-best JSE listed property company performance over a 10 year period with total compound annual returns to unitholders of 34%. It was also our seventh consecutive year of increased distributions paid to unitholders.
Review of nancial results

The distribution to linked unitholders amounted to R115,1 million (2008: R109,5 million) for the twelve month period ended 31 August 2009. This equated to a distribution of 128,9 cents per linked unit (2008: 122,6 cents), representing growth of 5,1%. An interim distribution of 62,2 cents was paid on 25 May 2009 and the nal distribution of 66,7 cents was paid on 23 November 2009. Rental income and net rental income increased by 15,5% and 7,7% respectively, compared with the previous twelve month period ended 31 August 2008. Property expenses increased to 41,8% (2008: 37,7%) of rental income largely due to an increase in utilities expenses which were partially offset by recoveries from tenants as well as increased maintenance and repair expenses. At 31 August 2009, the value of the investment held in IPS Investments (Proprietary) Limited (IPS) and the 10,2% investment in Premium Properties Limited (Premium) increased to R219,0 million and R154,0 million respectively. The income received from IPS increased to R14,5 million due to the strong performance of the properties in the portfolio. The distributions received from Premium increased to R13,3 million, mainly as a result of Premium increasing its distribution to unitholders by 12,7%. Investment property decreased in value by R98,3 million following the valuation carried out of the entire portfolio as at 31 August 2009. The decrease in values was mainly attributable to the retail properties and was in line with expectations, given the increased vacancies, softening of rentals and increase in market capitalisation rates.
Property portfolio
Octodec is invested in the ofce, retail, industrial and commercial sectors and has a small residential component. Our activities in the ofce, retail, industrial, commercial and residential sectors accounted for 18,7%, 19,9%, 28,8%, 29,6% and 3,0%, respectively, of gross lettable area. The retail component includes the Killarney Mall, Waverley Plaza, Elardus Park and Gezina shopping centres as well as Woodmead Value Mart. Over the last few years we have focused our growth activities on acquiring properties situated in the Pretoria and Johannesburg CBDs and surrounding areas. It has also been the strategy of the Group to invest its capital in our existing assets. Consequently, Octodec continues to enhance the value of our properties through the upgrading and the refurbishment thereof. During the year we upgraded Inner Court, which is situated in the Johannesburg CBD, at a cost of R25,3 million. This project has already generated a positive return for unitholders as the ofce component thereof, 10 000 sqm, is occupied in terms of a lease with a government tenant. Various other properties were upgraded at a total cost of R38 million. This included Waverley Plaza Shopping centre, Tiny Town and Protea House. The proposed greenelds residential Tiny Town development of 164 units has been postponed indenitely in light of the current economic climate and the low yield on the project. Going forward, we will continue to extract value from our properties by selectively pursuing redevelopment and upgrade opportunities.
The core portfolio representing those properties held for 12 months and more, reects rental income growth of 2,1%. On average no growth was achieved in rental income for the retail shopping centres due to increased vacancies and the difculty experienced in increasing rentals. Our malls are in desirable, established locations and attract a diverse group of high-quality and creditworthy tenants but have however been affected by the weakening economy. During the year we have focused on ensuring that our shopping centres have the right mix of stores to keep up with evolving consumer demands. Our properties in the Johannesburg and Pretoria CBDs have continued to perform well, making up 26,6% of our portfolio, and we continued to benet from the economic growth in these CBDs. The vibrant economic growth, including employment and wage increases, as well as steady urbanisation supported the growth in the CBD properties. During the year three Pretoria properties,Talkar in Hermanstad and 10 and 39 Rudolf Street in Sunderland Ridge, were disposed of for a consideration of R12,6 million and a prot of R1,5 million. Overall, vacancies as a percentage of the total lettable area were 20,7% (2008: 19,4%). A large percentage of the vacancies are in respect of properties recently developed or undergoing redevelopment or refurbishment. In recent years a number of properties were acquired with large vacancies, where no or relatively little consideration was paid for the vacant space. The vacancies of the retail portfolio increased in comparison to the previous year as a result of the slowing of economic activity. We are pleased to note that, despite the average increase in the industrial and ofce vacancies, on average no major decline in rental income was reported. Further details of the vacancies are set out on pages 4 5 and 44 48. The investments in IPS and Premium have a large exposure to the buoyant residential sector in the Johannesburg and Pretoria CBDs and surrounding areas which achieved strong growth during the year. At year-end IPS had a committed residential pipeline to build in excess of 1 000 units at a cost of R500 million. Most of the residential units at Corporation Place and Kempton Place, situated in the Johannesburg CBD and Kempton Park respectively, have been completed. The units at Tayob Place in the Johannesburg CBD are expected to be completed in June 2010.
Borrowings
The market debt liquidity crunch continued to create instability in the credit market. To date, however, we have not had problems securing additional funding and maintaining our low cost of funding on our maturing loans, despite the tight credit market. The Companys borrowing capacity is, in terms of its articles of association, limited to 67% of the fair value of the portfolios investment properties. At year-end, Octodec gearing was at 31,1% compared with 27,9% a year ago, comfortably within the 67% limit. We also have over R100 million of unused facilities with R69 million of debt that matures during the 2010 nancial year and minor commitments other than those referred to below, to fund future redevelopments and acquisitions. We have already renewed the R69 million loan at an interest rate of 1% below the prime overdraft rate. Our balance sheet is strong and we are well positioned to take advantage of redevelopment and any acquisition opportunities that may arise. It is our policy to hedge the majority of the Groups exposure to interest rate risk. At year-end, interest rates in respect of 72,6% of borrowings have been xed at an average interest rate of 11,5% maturing at various dates ranging from November 2009 to October 2018.

Transactions subsequent to the nancial year-end

The Company concluded an agreement to acquire two properties which house McCarthy motor dealerships in terms of long leases for a total purchase consideration of R50 million. The average yield is 10,5%. A property with improvements consisting of mini industrial units was acquired in Eloff Street in the Johannesburg CBD for a total cost of R5,8 million and at a yield of 11%. These properties will add to the long-term sustainability of income streams and growth in distributions. As announced on SENS on 27 August 2009, Octodec together with the Wapnick family (the consortium) made a partial offer to all independent Premium linked unitholders to acquire from them up to a maximum of 10% of their Premium shareholding. 1 133 939 linked units were offered and accepted by the consortium. Octodecs holding in Premium was accordingly increased to 10,95%.
Directorate changes
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome Mr Anthony Stein and Mr Derek Cohen to the Board. They were appointed to the Board on 1 July 2009 and 1 October 2009 respectively.
Outlook for 2010

As we move forward into 2010, we remain cautiously optimistic. Our strategy continues to focus on unlocking the value in the existing portfolio by the upgrade of properties and we will selectively invest in properties that provide long-term sustainability and protability. Relatively low interest rates and ination rates are forecast for the months ahead and this should provide support for an improvement in the economic environment.
Acknowledgements
We would like to take the opportunity to express our gratitude to our fellow directors for their contribution and guidance over the past year as well as the management and staff of City Property Administration (Proprietary) Limited (CPA), Octodecs management company. The success of Octodec in achieving strong growth over the years is a direct result of the commitment, hard work and talent of Octodecs directors and the staff and management of CPA. We would also like to thank our unitholders for their continued support.

Corporate governance
The Board of directors endorses the Code of Corporate Practices and Conduct, and supports the principles of openness, integrity and accountability as set out in the 2002 King committee report on corporate governance (King II). Other than the fact that the Chairman is an executive director, the directors believe that in all relevant respects the Company complied with the recommendations of the King II report.
Board of directors
The constitution of the Board of directors is set out on page 16 of this report. The Board meets at least four times per year, and now consists of four non-executive directors and three executive directors, including the Chairman. As the Chairman has always been, and remains, a driving force behind the Companys direction, the directors consider that it is in the Companys interest that he remains the Chairman. The Board aims to ensure that the structure, size, composition and effectiveness of the Board and the committees are maintained at levels that are appropriate in the context of the Groups strategy. At least one-third of the directors is subject to retirement by rotation and re-election by shareholders at the AGM each year. Such directors are those longest in ofce since their last re-election and also include directors appointed since the last AGM. A Wapnick and MZ Pollack will retire at the forthcoming annual general meeting. Both, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. The directors remuneration is subject to recommendation made by the Board and approval from time to time in a general meeting. The Board has set the strategic objectives of the Company and determines investment and performance criteria as well as being responsible for the proper management, control, compliance and ethical standards of the business. Independent non-executive directors are independent of management and free from any relationship that could materially interfere with the execution of their independent judgement. Their business experience enables them to evaluate strategy and act in the Companys best interest. Directors have to obtain approval from the Chairman of the Company to buy or sell linked units in the Company, whether directly or indirectly. Directors and any employees who become aware of sensitive nancial information cannot directly or indirectly deal in the Companys linked units until the information is in the public arena. All the directors may seek independent professional advice, if necessary, and have access to the services of the Company Secretary, who is responsible to ensure both the effective functioning of the Board and the proper administration of Board proceedings.
The directors are responsible, inter alia, for the preparation of the annual nancial statements, which fairly present the state of the Company and Group at the end of the nancial year and the results for that year. The directors review the controls and procedures in place so as to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the accounting records. The directors are of the opinion that adequate accounting records are maintained and take cognisance of reports and recommendations received from the audit committee from time to time. The external auditors are responsible for reporting on the annual nancial statements. Appropriate accounting policies supported by reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates are applied in the preparation of the annual nancial statements and there are no material departures from International Financial Reporting Standards. The directors consider and approve the Groups annual budget.
Directors responsibility
Internal nancial and operating controls
The effectiveness of the internal control system is monitored through management overview and comprehensive reviews. The Company has recently employed the services of BDO Spencer Steward to perform the internal audit function. The Board is responsible for the Groups systems of internal control. These systems are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance as to the integrity and reliability of the nancial statements, to safeguard, verify and maintain accountability of its assets and to identify and minimise signicant fraud, potential liability, loss and material misstatement while complying with applicable laws and regulations. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to nancial statement preparation and asset safeguarding. Furthermore, the effectiveness of an internal control system can change with circumstances. The system is therefore designed to manage rather than eliminate risk of failure and opportunity risk. The controls throughout the Group concentrate on critical risk and these are closely monitored. Continued reviews and reporting structures enhance the control environment. Nothing has come to the attention of the directors to indicate that a material breakdown in the controls within the Group has occurred during the year.
Risk management
The Board of directors has overall responsibility for the process of risk management. The Board has not formed a separate risk committee as it has delegated this responsibility to the audit committee. The objective of risk management is to identify, assess, manage and monitor the risks to which the Group is exposed.
Corporate governance
continued
Management is involved in a continuous process of developing and enhancing its comprehensive systems for risk identication and management and this process has been in place for the year under review and up to the date of this report. These risks encompass such areas as tenant vacancies, total or partial destruction of investment properties, compliance with regulations and legislation and public liability. Furthermore, the level of borrowings and the exposure to interest rate movements are carefully monitored. In consultation with expert risk consultants, risks are assessed and appropriate insurance cover purchased for all material risks above predetermined limits. Levels of cover are assessed annually and adjusted according to the circumstances. Financial risk management is dealt with in the notes to the annual nancial statements.
Audit committee
The committee currently comprises three independent non-executive directors. Mr MJ Holmes, an independent non-executive director, acts as chairman. The external auditors and the nancial director attend the meetings by invitation. This committee meets at least three times a year and has its own written terms of reference.

Going concern
The annual nancial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis since the directors have every reason to believe that the Company has adequate resources in place to continue in operation for the foreseeable future.
Relations with unitholders
The Board understands the information needs of unitholders and places great importance on meaningful dialogue with unitholders and ensures they are kept appropriately informed of matters affecting the Group and have access to the Group. The Board is also committed to transparency and disclosure of relevant and appropriate information in the annual report, as well as other communication channels to enable all unitholders and potential unitholders to have access to relevant information.
Employment equity and remuneration committee
As the Group has a limited number of employees, having contracted out the management of the affairs of the Company to City Property Administration (Proprietary) Limited, it has neither worker participation nor employment equity programmes, nor has it formed a remuneration committee. It does, however, encourage and support such practices.
Directors remuneration
As the executive directors are paid by City Property Administration (Proprietary) Limited, no remuneration is paid by the Company, other than directors and committee fees, which are determined by the Board and are set out on page 15 of this report. No non-executive or executive directors hold service contracts.
Code of ethics
The Companys code of ethics requires all employees within the Company to act with the utmost good faith and integrity in all transactions and with all stakeholders with whom they interact. It commits the Company and employees to sound business practices and compliance with legislation.

Responsibility for the annual nancial statements

Directors responsibilities and approval of the annual nancial statements
The directors are required by the South African Companies Act, 1973, to maintain adequate accounting records and are responsible for the content and integrity of the annual nancial statements and related nancial information included in this report. It is their responsibility to ensure that the annual nancial statements fairly present the state of affairs of the Group and Company as at the end of the nancial year and the results of their operations and cash ows for the period then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards. The Groups external auditors are engaged to express an independent opinion on the annual nancial statements. The annual nancial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and incorporate disclosure in line with the accounting policies of the Group. The annual nancial statements are based upon appropriate accounting policies consistently applied and supported by reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates. The directors acknowledge that they are ultimately responsible for the system of internal nancial control established by the Group and place considerable importance on maintaining a strong control environment. The directors are of the opinion, based on the information and explanations given by management, that the system of internal control provides reasonable assurance that the nancial records may be relied on for the preparation of the annual nancial statements. However, any system of internal nancial control can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss. The directors have reviewed the Groups cash ow forecast for the year to 31 August 2010 and, in the light of this review and the current nancial position, they are satised that the Group has access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The annual nancial statements set out on pages 13 to 49, which have been prepared on the going concern basis, were approved by the Board of directors on 9 December 2009 and were signed on their behalf by:

Report of the independent auditors

To the unitholders of Octodec Investments Limited
We have audited the annual nancial statements and Group annual nancial statements of Octodec Investments Limited, which comprise the directors report, the balance sheet and the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 August 2009, the income statement and the consolidated income statement, the statement of changes in equity, cash ow statement and consolidated cash ow statement for the year then ended, a summary of signicant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as set out on pages 13 to 49.
Directors responsibility for the nancial statements

The Companys directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these nancial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and in the manner required by the Companies Act of South Africa. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of nancial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditors responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these nancial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the nancial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the nancial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting principles used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall nancial statement presentation. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufcient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the nancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the nancial position of the Group and Company as at 31 August 2009, and their nancial performance and their cash ows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and in the manner required by the Companies Act of South Africa.

Notes to the nancial statements

For the year ended 31 August 2009 1. Accounting policies The annual nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act. The annual nancial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for the measurement of investment property and certain nancial instruments at fair value, and incorporate the principal accounting policies, set out below. The accounting policies adopted and methods of computation are consistent with those applied in the nancial statements of the previous year except for the adjustments disclosed in note 29. 1.1 Basis of consolidation The consolidated nancial statements incorporate the nancial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the nancial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain the benets of its activities. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective dates of acquisition or up to the effective dates of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the nancial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Group. All intra-Group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. Certain subsidiaries are share block companies and as a result all income and expenses accrue directly to the holding company. 1.2 Reserves Realised prots on the disposal of investment properties, although legally distributable, are transferred to a non-distributable reserve, as it is the Groups policy to regard such prots as not being available for distribution. Gains and losses on revaluation of investment property are similarly transferred to a non-distributable reserve. Investment properties Investment properties are recognised as an asset when, and only when, it is probable that the future economic benets that are associated with the investment property will ow to the enterprise, and the cost of the investment property can be measured reliably. Investment property is initially recognised at cost. Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement. Subsequent expenditure relating to investment property that has been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the investment property when it is probable that future economic benets, in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing investment property, will ow to the enterprise. All other subsequent expenditure is expensed in the period in which it is incurred. Leasehold property comprising buildings erected on land secured by means of long-term land leases are classied as investment property. Operating lease payments, which are based on a percentage of rental income, are charged to the income statement as incurred. Fair value At the balance sheet date all investment property is measured at fair value as determined by the directors. Independent valuations are obtained on a rotational basis to determine the reasonableness of the directors valuations, ensuring that every property is valued every three years. This is a JSE Listing Requirement. The directors value the entire property portfolio on an annual basis. These fair values of property exclude accrued operating lease income. A gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is included in net prot or loss for the period in which it arises and is transferred to a non-distributable reserve. 1.4 Plant and equipment Plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of plant and equipment is recognised as an asset when it is probable that future economic benets associated with the item will ow to the entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Subsequent expenditure relating to an item of plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset to the extent that it is probable that future economic benets, in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset, will ow to the enterprise. The residual value and the useful life of each asset are reviewed at each nancial year-end. Each part of an item of plant and equipment with a cost that is signicant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. Depreciation is provided on all plant and equipment to write down the cost, less estimated residual value, by equal instalments over the shorter of the lease term or their useful lives at a rate of 20% per annum. The gain or loss arising from the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the income statement. Land and buildings are not depreciated.

Accounting policies continued 1.5 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset until such time as the asset is ready for its intended use. The amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined as follows: Actual borrowing costs on funds specically borrowed for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset less any temporary investment of those borrowings; and Weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the entity on funds generally borrowed for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. The borrowing costs capitalised do not exceed the total borrowing costs incurred. The capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when: expenditures for the asset have occurred; borrowing costs have been incurred; and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are complete. All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. 1.6 Investments in subsidiaries Investments in subsidiaries are stated in the Companys nancial statements at cost, less any impairment losses. Investment in associates An associate is an enterprise in which the investor has signicant inuence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture of the investor. Signicant inuence is the power to participate in the nancial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. In the Group nancial statements, an investment in an associate is accounted for using the equity method, except when the asset is classied as held-for-sale. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the Groups share of the prots or losses of the investee after acquisition date. The use of the equity method is discontinued from the date the Company ceases to have signicant inuence over an associate. Any impairment losses are deducted from the carrying amount of the investment in associate. Prots and losses resulting from transactions with associates are recognised only to the extent of unrelated investors interests in the associate. In the Companys nancial statements, an investment in an associate is carried at cost less any impairment losses. 1.8 Listed investments Listed investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from a change in fair value are recognised directly in equity through the statement of changes in equity until the investment is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is included in the net prot or loss for the year. Impairment At each balance sheet date the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the recoverable amount is estimated for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs is determined. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss. An impairment loss of assets carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation or amortisation is recognised immediately in prot or loss. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease.

continued
Impairment continued An entity assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised in prior periods for assets other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amounts of those assets are estimated. A reversal of an impairment loss of assets carried at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortisation other than goodwill is recognised immediately in prot or loss. Any reversal of an impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation increase.
1.10 Financial instruments Initial recognition and measurement The Group classies nancial instruments, or their component parts, on initial recognition as a nancial asset, a nancial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Financial instruments are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the transaction. Initial measurement is at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these instruments are measured as follows: Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in prot or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignicant risk of changes in value. These are initially and subsequently recorded at fair value. Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities Interest bearing loans, debentures and overdrafts are recorded at the proceeds received net of direct issue costs. Finance charges are accounted for on an annual basis and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that they are not settled in the period in which they arise. Derecognition of nancial instruments The Group derecognises a nancial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash ows from the asset expire; or it transfers the nancial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the Groups obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. 1.11 Taxation Current tax assets and liabilities The tax currently payable is based on taxable prot for the year. Taxable prot differs from prot as reported in the consolidated income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. Current tax for current and prior periods is, to the extent unpaid, recognised as a liability. If the amount already paid in respect of current and prior periods exceeds the amount due for those periods, the excess is recognised as an asset. Current tax liabilities/(assets) for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid to/(recovered from) the tax authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the nancial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable prot, and it is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method.

Accounting policies continued 1.11 Taxation continued Deferred tax assets and liabilities continued A deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except to the extent that the deferred tax liability arises from: the initial recognition of goodwill; or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which: is not a business combination; and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting prot nor taxable prot (tax loss). A deferred tax asset is recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable prot will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised, unless the deferred tax asset arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that: is not a business combination; and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting prot nor taxable prot (tax loss). A deferred tax asset is recognised for all deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, and interests in joint ventures, to the extent that it is probable that: the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future; and taxable prot will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. A deferred tax asset is recognised for the carry forward of unused tax losses and unused STC credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable prot will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused STC credits can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Tax expenses Current and deferred taxes are recognised as income or an expense and included in prot/(loss) for the period, except to the extent that the tax arises from: a transaction or event which is recognised, in the same or a different period, directly in equity; or a business combination. Current tax and deferred taxes are charged or credited directly to equity if the tax relates to items that are credited or charged, in the same or a different period, directly to equity. 1.12 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and balances with banks. 1.13 Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event which will probably result in an outow of economic benets that can be reasonably estimated. The amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation. 1.14 Critical estimates and judgements Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Areas in which estimates and judgements are made include the following:

Accounting policies continued 1.14 Critical estimates and judgements continued Investment property In the application of the accounting policies, which are described in note 1, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the fair value of investment properties that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The fair value of investment properties are obtained from the Companys property managers, City Property Administration (Pty) Limited and determined on an open market basis taking into account the expected future rental that a particular building will generate. An appropriate discount rate or valuation multiple is used that reects the risk associated with the particular building. Property, plant and equipment Asset impairments The Company evaluates its non-current assets for impairment annually whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Judgements regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on market conditions and operational performance of the business. Future events could cause management to conclude that impairment indicators exist. Residual values The Company is required to measure the residual value of an item of property, plant and equipment. An estimate is made of the amount it would receive currently for the asset if the asset was already of the age and condition expected at the end of its useful life. IAS 16 requires residual values (if material) to be estimated rst at the date of acquisition and thereafter to be reviewed at each balance sheet date. If these change from the prior period, the depreciation charge is adjusted prospectively. Useful life The useful life of an asset is the period over which the Company expects to use the asset, and not necessarily the assets economic life. Useful lives of assets are reviewed annually. If these change from the prior period, the depreciation charge is adjusted prospectively. The Company uses the following indicators to determine useful lives: Expected usage of assets; Expected physical wear and tear; and Technical or commercial obsolescence. Provisions Provisions are required to be recorded when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outow of economic benets will occur, and where a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Best estimates, being the amount that the Company would rationally pay to settle the obligation, are recognised as provisions at balance sheet date. 1.15 Segmental reporting The Group earns revenue in the form of property rentals. On a primary basis the Group is organised into ve major operating segments: Industrial Ofce Retail Commercial Residential
Segment results include revenue and expenses that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to that segment. Segment assets and liabilities comprise those operating assets and liabilities that are directly attributable to the segment or can be allocated to a segment on a reasonable basis. Segment assets and liabilities do not include deferred income taxes. It is the Companys investment philosophy to invest only in properties in the Gauteng area, therefore the Company can only report on a primary segment basis.

Accounting policies continued 1.16 Comparative gures Where necessary, comparative gures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current year. These changes are disclosed in note 29. 1.17 Business combinations The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate fair value of the underlying assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the Groups share of the identiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill and is tested for impairment on an annual basis. If the cost of the acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. On disposal of a subsidiary, attributable goodwill is included in the determination of the prot or loss on disposal. 1.18 Statements and interpretations not yet effective At the date of authorisation of these annual nancial statements, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued its latest Standard, titled Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards 2008. The Standard included many amendments to various Standards. The directors are still assessing the impact of these on the Group annual nancial statements. The following Standards and Interpretations were in issue but not yet effective: Effective for nancial years commencing on or after IFRS 1 IFRS 2 IFRS 3 IFRS 5 IFRS 7 IFRS 8 IFRS 9 IAS 1 IAS 7 IAS 8 IAS 10 IAS 16 IAS 17 IAS 18 IAS 19 IAS 20 IAS 23 IAS 24 IAS 27 IAS 28 IAS 29 IAS 31 IAS 32 IAS 34 IAS 36 IAS 38 IAS 39 IAS 40 IAS 41 IFRIC 9 IFRIC 11 IFRIC 15 IFRIC 16 IFRIC 17 IFRIC 18 First Time Adoption of IFRS Share-based Payments Business Combinations Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations Financial Instruments: Disclosures Operating Segments Financial Instruments Presentation of Financial Statements Statement of Cash Flows Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors Events after the Reporting Period Property, Plant and Equipment Leases Revenue Employee Benets Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance Borrowing Costs Related Party Disclosures Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements Investments in Associates Financial Reporting in Hyperinationary Economies Interest in Joint Ventures Financial Instruments: Presentation Interim Financial Reporting Impairment of Assets Intangible Assets Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement Investment Property Agriculture Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives IFRS 2 Group and Treasury Share Transactions Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners Transfers of Assets from Customers 1 January 2009 1 January 2009 1 July 2009 1 July 2009 1 January 2009 1 January 2009 1 January 2013 1 January 2009 1 January 2010 1 January 2009 1 January 2009 1 January 2009 1 January 2010 1 January 2009 1 January 2009 1 January 2009 1 January 2009 1 January 2011 1 July 2009 1 January 2009 1 January 2009 1 July 2009 1 January 2009 1 January 2009 1 January 2009 1 January 2009 1 July 2009 1 January 2009 1 January 2009 1 July 2009 1 March 2009 1 January 2009 1 October 2008 1 July 2009 1 July 2009

Accounting policies continued 1.18 Statements and interpretations not yet effective continued The Group has not early adopted any of these pronouncements. The new Standards, Amendments and Interpretations that are expected to be relevant to the Groups nancial statements are as follows: IAS 1: This statement relates to the presentation of the owners changes in equity and introduces a statement of comprehensive income. This amendment does not affect the nancial position or the results of the Group but will result in additional disclosures. IAS 23: This amendment requires the capitalisation of borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, production or construction of qualifying assets until the asset is ready for its intended use. This amendment does not affect the nancial position or the results of the Group. IFRS 8: This standard species how an entity should report information about operating segments in its nancial position. This standard will result in additional disclosure but has no effect on the nancial position. 1.19 Compound instruments Linked units are classied as compound instruments, consisting of a liability component and an equity component. At the date of issue, the liability component is recognised at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition the liability component is recognised at amortised cost. The premium relating to the liability component is amortised over the period to the maturity date of the debenture. 1.20 Leases A lease is classied as a nance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. A lease is classied as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. Operating leases lessor Contractual rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term. An adjustment is made to contractual rental income earned to bring to account in the current period the difference between the rental income that the Company is currently entitled to and the rental for the period calculated on a smoothed straight-line basis. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging operating leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Income for leases is disclosed under revenue in the income statement. Group Restated 2008 Company Restated 2009 2008

A register of investment properties is maintained at the Companys registered ofce, which may be inspected by members or their duly authorised agents. The fair value of the Groups investment property at 31 August 2009 has been arrived at on the basis of a valuation carried out at that date by taking into account prevailing market rentals, occupation levels and capitalisation rates. The range of capitalisation rates applied to the property portfolio is between 8,5% and 13% with an average of 9,38%. The investment properties are valued annually and the valuations are determined by the directors. A 1% decrease in the capitalisation rates would increase the property valuation by R229 million and a 1% increase in the capitalisation rates would decrease the property valuation by R181 million. On an annual basis, independent valuations are obtained for one-third of the properties in the portfolio. Van Zyl Valuers and Amanda de Wet Attorneys are registered valuers in terms of Section 19 of the Property Valuers Profession Act (Act no.47 of 2000) and have extensive experience in commercial property valuations. The valuers valuation was 0,97% less than the directors valuation. The directors are condent, taking all factors into account, that their valuations represent fair market value.

Investment properties continued The Group has encumbered certain of its investment properties to secure general banking facilities granted to the Group. All the Groups investment properties are leased out under operating leases. Woodmead Value Mart is situated on leasehold land. The lease commenced in January 1995. The term of the lease is 40 years and is renewable for a further 40 years. A schedule of investment properties owned by the Group is set out on pages 44 to 48.

Prior period adjustments Deferred taxation has been accounted for using a blended tax rate on the revaluation of investment properties. This splits the revaluation between land and buildings and calculates deferred tax on revaluation surpluses on land at the capital gains taxation rate of 14% as the intention is to recover through sale and on buildings at 28% as the intention is to recover through use. This is a change from previous years, but the adjustments have no effect on the distributable income to the unitholders.

33. Retirement benets The Group has no arrangement whereby benets are provided for employees on or after termination of service as all employees are employed by the management company, City Property Administration (Pty) Limited. 34. Financial risk management The Groups nancial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, bank overdrafts, accounts receivable and payable, and loans to and from subsidiaries. In respect of all nancial instruments listed above, the carrying value approximates fair value. 34.1 Capital Management The Companys policy is to maintain an adequate capital base so as to maintain creditor condence and to sustain future development of the business. The capital comprises shareholders equity, including capital and reserves. The level of dividends paid to the holding company is determined with reference to the liquidity and solvency of the Company as well as consideration of budgets and forecasts. There were no changes in the Companys approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. 34.2 Credit risk Credit risk consists mainly of cash deposits, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company only deposits cash with major banks with high quality credit standing and limits exposure to any one counter-party. Trade receivables consist of a large spread of tenants. The Group monitors the nancial position of its tenants on an on-going basis. Provision is made for both specic and general bad debts and at year-end management does not consider there to be any material credit risk exposure. The carrying amount of nancial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. 34.3 Interest risk At 31 August 2009, the Group had borrowings of R728 631 958 (2008: R657 022 031) at various rates. The weighted average interest rate for 2009 was approximately 10,7% (2008: 11,5%) and 72,6% (2008: 81%) of borrowings at year-end are xed. Interest rate trends are constantly monitored and appropriate steps taken to ensure the Groups exposure to interest costs is limited. The policy is to minimise interest rate cash ow risk exposure on long-term nancing. At 31 August 2009, Octodec is exposed to changes to market interest rates through bank borrowings. 27,4% (2008: 19%) of bank borrowings are subject to variable interest rates. A breakdown of the borrowings is detailed in note 12. The table below illustrates the sensitivity of the net result for the year and equity to reasonable changes to interest rates of 1% and 2% with effect from the beginning of the year. These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on current market conditions.
