CIRCULAR TO EQUITES SHAREHOLDERS
1. BACKGROUND
- 1.1. As set out in the announcement released on SENS on 29 May 2015, Equites entered into an acquisition agreement with the vendors, in terms of which Equites will acquire all of the shares and claims in Intaprop.
- 1.2. The transaction, which is classified as a Category 1 transaction in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, requires shareholder approval.
- 1.3. The purpose of this circular is to provide Equites shareholders with information regarding the transaction and to convene a general meeting of Equites shareholders in order to consider and, if deemed appropriate, pass with or without modification, all of the resolutions necessary to implement the transaction.
2. OVERVIEW OF INTAPROP AND RATIONALE FOR THE TRANSACTION
- 2.1. Intaprop is a private property development and investment enterprise, which was founded in 1990. It has a successful track record of developing large scale corporate real estate and has a significant skills base.
- 2.2. The existing property portfolio of Equites comprises predominantly industrial properties which are situated in Cape Town. The merger with Intaprop is consistent with the company's growth strategy of diversifying geographically by focusing on the three major metropolitan areas, being the greater Cape Town, Gauteng and the greater Durban. The Intaprop property portfolio is located in Gauteng and Cape Town and consists primarily of industrial properties and undeveloped industrial land.
- 2.3. The combination of these two portfolios is expected to unlock significant shareholder value through the complementary nature of the property assets, the tenant mix and the geographical spread. The merged entity would further benefit from enhanced growth opportunities, increased diversification by rental income, economies of scale and the reduction in the impact of property specific risks on the performance of the enlarged property portfolio.
3. TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION

- 11.2. Details of the action required by Equites shareholders are set out on page 6 of this circular and in the notice of general meeting attached.
12. HISTORY AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Equites was established through the merger of the portfolios of three independent Western Cape-based industrial property developers. The company successfully listed on the JSE on 18 June 2014.
Equites is a South African property fund manager and developer focused predominantly on quality industrial assets at the top end of the industrial sector and to a lesser degree office property. Equites is structured as a Real Estate Investment Trust and all asset management and property management functions have been internalised.
13. GROWTH STRATEGY
Equites has a clear focus on providing investors with significant investment returns, with growing income streams as well as increasing capital values.
It is the intention that the company will specialise in the industrial sector of the property market only. The board considers these properties to be highly desirable and believes that the top-end industrial property segment remains untapped by the existing players in the listed property environment.
The board intends diversifying geographically by focusing on the three major metropolitan areas, being the greater Cape Town, Gauteng and the greater Durban. This should not only enhance Equites' value proposition in that the total portfolio will not have properties in secondary destinations but also further differentiate Equites from competitors.
The board is cognisant of the difficulty a new, relatively small fund will encounter if its growth strategy is entirely dependent on buying assets on the open market where competition is rife. A key part of its strategy will therefore be to use its development expertise to unlock value.
Equites has significant development expertise and a healthy pipeline of industrial developments. This will enable Equites to develop internally and also to make acquisitions where there are redevelopment and value enhancing opportunities.
As part of this transaction, Equites will be acquiring 21 hectares of vacant industrial land, strategically located in Johannesburg and Cape Town. Equites will be aiming to develop industrial distribution warehouses on this land to the value of approximately R650 million over the next three years.
The board of Equites is confident that given the quality of assets, the development expertise and the project pipeline, the group is well placed to meet its growth targets while simultaneously continuing to show positive income and capital growth.
14. PROSPECTS
- 14.1. The acquisition of Intaprop will give Equites a significant presence in Gauteng and also adds 21 hectares of undeveloped land to its portfolio. Although there are no firm plans for the undeveloped land, it will create capacity to take advantage of future development opportunities as they arise.
- 14.2. The development agreement with the developer also represents a strategic alliance with a partner that has intimate knowledge of the industrial property market in Gauteng and a proven ability to unlock A-Grade distribution centres in the Meadowview Business Estate precinct.
15. DIRECTORS' EMOLUMENTS
- 15.1. The emoluments of the directors for the year ended 29 February 2016, which have been approved at the annual general meeting of the company on 21 July 2015, remain unchanged as a result of the transaction.
- 15.2. André Gouws has been nominated for appointment as a non-executive director to the board of Equites. Should shareholders approve André's appointment at the general meeting to be held on Monday, 31 August 2015, he will be paid R100 000 per annum as proposed in special resolution 1 of the notice of annual general meeting as set out in the integrated report for the year ended 28 February 2015.
- 15.3. Save as set out in paragraph 15.1 and paragraph 15.2 above, the directors of the company did not receive any emoluments in the form of:
- 15.3.1. fees for services as a director;

PRICE ADJUSTMENT MECHANISMS
The price adjustment mechanisms set out below have been extracted from the acquisition agreement.
"17 ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE CONSIDERATION FOR INTERIM PERIOD DEVELOPMENTS
- 17.1 If, during the Interim Period, any development lease agreement is entered into between the Company and a tenant for the construction and letting of a building ("Building") on any of the Undeveloped Properties ("Interim Period Development Lease"), which Interim Period Development Lease has been approved by Equites, Equites shall pay to the Sellers, in accordance with clause 17.5 below, an additional amount equal to the following ("Interim Period Premium"):
- 17.1.1 An amount equal to 1/3 (one third) of the Upfront Development Premium calculated in accordance with clause 17.2;
- 17.1.2 plus (if the amount is positive) or minus (if the amount is negative) the difference between the:
- 17.1.2.1 land cost for the relevant Undeveloped Property as reflected in the Interim Period Development Lease; and
- 17.1.2.2 the land cost in respect of such Undeveloped Property as reflected in Annexure "6",
- 17.2 For purposes of clause 17.1, the "Upfront Development Premium" shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
$$ A = 1/3X \left( \left[ \left( \frac{D}{B} \right) - \left( \frac{D}{C} \right) \right] X 0.8 \right) $$
Where
A, is the Upfront Development Premium;
B, is the projected percentage yield to be achieved by Equites in respect of the Building for a period of 12 (twelve) months from final completion of the Building ("Assessment Period"), as reflected in the Interim Period Development Lease ("Projected Yield");
C, is the Base Rate calculated in accordance with clause 17.3; and
D, is the projected income attributable to the Building over the Assessment Period, less all direct costs, expenses and alike attributable to the Building over the Assessment Period, as determined in accordance with IFRS.
- 17.3 For purposes of the calculation of "C" in clause 17.2, the "Base Rate" shall be calculated as follows:
- 17.3.1 If the Projected Yield is equal to or exceeds 10% (ten percent), the Base Rate is 9% (nine percent);

17.3.2 If the Projected Yield is less than 10% (ten percent) but equals or exceeds 8.75% (eight comma five percent), the Base Rate is a percentage calculated in accordance with the following formula:
$$ C = V - \left(\frac{W - X}{Y}\right) \times Z $$
Where
C, is the Base Rate, expressed as a percentage;
V, is 9%;
W, is 10%;
X, is the Projected Yield;
Y, is 0.25%; and
Z, is 0.2*.*
17.3.3 If the Projected Yield is less than 8.75% (eight comma seven five percent), the Base Rate is a percentage calculated in accordance with the following formula:
$$ C = G - \left(\frac{H - I}{J}\right) \times K $$
Where
C, is the Base Rate, expressed as a percentage;
G, is 8%;
H, is 8.75%;
I, is the Projected Yield;
J, is 0.25%; and
K, is 0.1*.*
- 17.4 In the event of any dispute arising between the Sellers and the Purchaser as to the calculation for purposes of clause 17.1, that dispute will be referred to the Independent Auditor for determination, acting as expert and not as arbitrator.
- 17.5 The Interim Period Premium shall be discharged by the Purchaser issuing to the Sellers, in their Applicable Proportions, such number of additional Consideration Shares which, at the Equites Fixed Share Price, have an aggregate value equal to the Interim Period Premium, and shall result in a corresponding increase in the Purchase Price)."
"18 POTENTIAL ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE CONSIDERATION FOR TOWNSHIP ESTABLISHMENT
- 18.1 If the agreed value of the Undeveloped Properties has, in terms of clause 8.1.2, been reduced as a result of Township Establishment in respect of any portion of the Undeveloped Properties situated on Meadowview Business Estate not having been obtained by the Closing Date, and Township Establishment in respect of any such portion is subsequently obtained ("Subsequently Approved Portions"), then the Purchase Consideration shall increase with an amount equal to R400 (four hundred rand) per square metre of the Subsequently Approved Portions ("Increased Undeveloped Property Value").
- 18.2 The Increased Undeveloped Property Value shall be discharged by the Purchaser issuing to the Sellers, in their Applicable Proportions, such number of additional Consideration Shares which, at the Equites Fixed Share Price, have an aggregate value equal to the Increased Undeveloped Property Value, within 10 (ten) business days after the relevant Township Establishment has been obtained."
"19 POTENTIAL ADJUSTMENT OF AGREED VALUES OF RESPECTIVE DEVELOPED PORTFOLIOS, AND RELATED PURCHASE CONSIDERATION ADJUSTMENTS

- 19.1.1 It is recorded that the agreed value as at the Effective Date of the Intaprop Developed Portfolio recorded in clause 8.1.1 and set out in Annexure "5A" ("the Agreed Intaprop Developed Portfolio Value") was arrived at by capitalising the Sellers' forecast of the Net Rental Income in respect of the Intaprop Developed Properties for the Forecast Period, as set out in Annexure "5A" ("the Intaprop Forecast Net Rental Income"), at the Intaprop Applicable Rate.
- 19.1.2 Upon expiry of the Forecast Period the Purchaser shall be entitled but not obliged to instruct its auditors to provide the Parties with a written calculation and certification of the actual Net Rental Income of the Intaprop Developed Properties for the Forecast Period, adjusted as follows ("Intaprop Actual Net Rental Income"):
- 19.1.2.1 Any rental or other income which has been included in the Forecast Net Rental Income but not actually earned, whether because an existing tenant defaulted, a lease terminated and a new tenant was not secured timeously or on the terms forecasted, shall be deemed to have been earned (i.e. added to the actual Net Rental Income for the Forecast Period), except to the extent that the risk of not receiving such income:
- 19.1.2.1.1 was actually foreseen but not fairly disclosed to the other Party prior to the Signature Date;
- 19.1.2.1.2 should have been reasonably foreseeable by a prudent and experienced property owner, and such risk was not fairly disclosed to the other Party prior to the Signature Date; and/or
- 19.1.2.1.3 was avoidable, or capable of being mitigated, by a prudent and experienced property owner taking reasonable steps on or before the Closing Date.
- 19.1.2.2 Any expense or cost which was actually incurred but was not taken into account in the Forecast Net Rental Income, shall be deemed not to have been incurred (i.e. shall be added back in calculating to the actual Net Rental Income for the Forecast Period), except to the extent that the risk of incurring such expense or cost:
- 19.1.2.1 Any rental or other income which has been included in the Forecast Net Rental Income but not actually earned, whether because an existing tenant defaulted, a lease terminated and a new tenant was not secured timeously or on the terms forecasted, shall be deemed to have been earned (i.e. added to the actual Net Rental Income for the Forecast Period), except to the extent that the risk of not receiving such income:

| 19.1.2.2.1 | was actually foreseen but not fairly disclosed to the otherParty prior to the Signature Date; |

- 19.1.3.1 the Party/ies raising such dispute shall do so by means of written notice to the other within a period of 5 (five) business days after delivery of the auditor of the Purchaser's calculation and certification, setting out the basis of that Party/ies' objection (failing which notice the auditor's calculation and certification will be deemed to have been accepted by the Parties as correct); and
- 19.1.3.2 that dispute will be referred to the Independent Auditor for determination, acting as expert and not as arbitrator.
- 19.1.4 If the Intaprop Actual Net Rental Income, as finally determined, was less than the Intaprop Forecast Actual Net Income by more than R1 million (one million rand), then:
- 19.1.4.1 the Agreed Intaprop Developed Portfolio Value will be recalculated by capitalising the Intaprop Actual Net Rental Income at the Intaprop Applicable Rate;
- 19.1.4.2 the Purchase Consideration will be recalculated and reduced by substituting such recalculated amount as the Agreed Intaprop Developed Portfolio Value; and
- 19.1.4.3 the Sellers shall be liable, in their Applicable Proportions, to pay to the Purchaser the amount by which the Purchase Consideration has been so reduced, in cash, provided that no such cash payment shall be required to the extent that the relevant amount has been taken into account in any Purchase Price adjustment and resulting payment by the Purchaser in terms of clause 19.2.
- 19.1.5 Should any Seller fail to effect payment of the requisite amount within five business days of being required to do so by the Purchaser, then, without prejudice to such other rights as may accrue to the Purchaser consequent upon such failure:
- 19.1.5.1 the Purchaser shall be entitled to immediately realise the security afforded by it under the Share Pledge in accordance with the provisions of the Share Pledge, it being agreed that such failure shall constitute an "Event of Default" in terms of the Share Pledge; and
- 19.1.5.2 such overdue amount will bear interest at 2 (two) percentage points above the Prime Rate, from the due date for payment to the date of actual payment, both dates inclusive.
19.2 Potential adjustment of Equites Developed Portfolio Value, and Merger Ratio
- 19.2.1 It is recorded that, for purposes of the Merger and as at the Effective Date, the Parties have assumed that:
- 19.2.1.1 the value of the Purchaser's properties, or portions of properties, on which property developments have been completed or are in progress ("the Equites Developed Portfolio"), is the aggregate amount recorded in Annexure "5B" ("the Assumed Equites Developed Portfolio Value"), which amount was arrived at by capitalising the Purchaser's internal forecast of the Net Rental Income in respect of the Equites Developed Portfolio for the Forecast Period, as recorded in Annexure "5B" ("the Equites Forecast Net Rental Income"), at the Equites Applicable Rate;
- 19.2.1.2 the total net equity value of Equites (taking into account the gross value of the Equites Developed Portfolio and its remaining assets and liabilities) is not less than R 1 372 293 711 ("the Assumed Pre-Merger Equites Value");
- 19.2.1.3 the net asset value per Equites Share (taking into account the gross value of the Equites Developed Portfolio and its remaining assets and liabilities, and the total number of Equites Shares (other than treasury shares) in issue as at the Signature Date) ("NAV per Equites Share") is not less than the Equites Fixed Share Price ("Assumed NAV per Equites Share").
- 19.2.2 Upon expiry of the Forecast Period, and only in the event that the Equites 30 Day VWAP as at the last day of the Forecast Period is less than R13.00 (thirteen rand), the Sellers shall be entitled but not obliged to instruct the Purchaser's auditors to provide the Parties with a written calculation and certification of (1) the actual Net Rental Income attributable to the Equites Developed Portfolio for the Forecast Period, adjusted as set out in clause 19.2.3 ("Equites Actual Net Rental Income") and (2) to the extent applicable, the further calculations and adjustments contemplated in clause 19.2.4.
- 19.2.3 The Equites Actual Net Rental Income shall be adjusted as follows:

-
19.2.3.2 Any expense or cost which was actually incurred but was not taken into account in the Forecast Net Rental Income, shall be deemed not to have been incurred (i.e. shall be added back in calculating to the actual Net Rental Income for the Forecast Period), except to the extent that the risk of incurring such expense or cost:
- 19.2.3.2.1 was actually foreseen but not fairly disclosed to the other Party prior to the Signature Date;
- 19.2.3.2.2 should have been reasonably foreseeable by a prudent and experienced property owner, but was not fairly disclosed to the other Party prior to the Signature Date; and/or
- 19.2.3.2.3 was avoidable, or was capable of being mitigated, by a prudent and experienced property owner taking reasonable steps on or before the Closing Date.

-
19.2.5 In the event of any dispute arising between the Sellers and the Purchaser as to any calculation or certification by the Purchaser's auditors for purposes of clause 19.2.2 or 19.2.4:

Material assumptions underlying the forecasts:
- The properties underlying the forecast comprise the acquired Intaprop portfolio only.
- None of the undeveloped properties are assumed to be developed within the forecast period. Borrowing costs directly attributable to fund developments are capitalised to the cost of development in accordance with the company's accounting policies.
- Rental income and tenant recoveries comprise existing lease agreements and a rental guarantee including stipulated increases, all of which are valid and enforceable.
- The forecasts include no uncontracted revenue.
- Property operating expenditure has been forecast on a line-by-line basis for each property based on management's review of historical expenditure and discussion with the property managers.
- The commercial effective date for the acquired portfolio is 1 July 2015.
- 37 891 084 new Equites shares at R12.00 per share based on the estimated purchase consideration set out in paragraph 3.2.2 of the circular.
- Equites will refinance some of the bank debt assumed with Intaprop. This refinancing will only take place once the acquisition is unconditional, which has been assumed to be 30 September 2015. Once refinanced, interest exposure is assumed to be fixed at margins currently available to Equites.
- For the purpose of the forecasts, ruling lending rates have been assumed to remain unchanged over the forecast period.
- The Midas property is currently subject to a sale agreement, transfer of which is assumed to take place on 1 January 2016.
- Save for electricity which is expected to increase by 15%, no other material expenditure items are expected to change by more than 15% from historical expenditure.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON THE FORECAST STATEMENTS OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME OF INTAPROP
"The Directors Equites Property Fund Limited 14th Floor Portside Bree Street CAPE TOWN 8001
22 July 2015
INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT'S LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE FORECAST STATEMENTS OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME OF INTAPROP PROPRIETARY LIMITED ("INTAPROP" OR "THE COMPANY")
We have examined the forecast statements of comprehensive income, the forecast vacancy profile by sector and by gross lettable area, and the forecast lease expiry profile based on existing lease agreements (collectively, the "forecast information") for the periods ending 28 February 2016 and 29 February 2017, as set out in Annexure 3 of the circular to be issued to Equites Property Fund Limited ("Equites") shareholders on or about 29 July 2015 ("the Circular").
Directors' responsibility
The Directors of Equites are responsible for the forecast information, including the assumptions and notes on which it is based, and for the financial information from which it has been prepared. This responsibility, arising from compliance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, includes:
- determining whether the assumptions, barring unforeseen circumstances, provide a reasonable basis for the preparation of the forecast information;
- whether the forecast information has been properly compiled on the basis stated; and
- whether the forecast information is presented on a basis consistent with the accounting policies of the company.
Reporting accountants' responsibility
Our responsibility is to provide a limited assurance report on the forecast information prepared for the purpose of complying with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited and for inclusion in the Circular.
We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements applicable to The Examination of Prospective Financial Information (ISAE 3400) and the SAICA Circular, entitled the Reporting Accountant's Responsibilities in terms of Section 13 of the Listing Requirements of the JSE Limited. This standard requires us to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence as to whether or not:
- management's best-estimate assumptions on which the forecast information is based are not unreasonable and are consistent with the purpose of the information;
- the forecast information is properly prepared on the basis of the assumptions;
- the forecast information is properly presented and all material assumptions are adequately disclosed; and
- the forecast information is prepared and presented on a basis consistent with the accounting policies of the company for the period concerned and on the basis stated, that being the recognition and measurement criteria of IFRS.
In a limited assurance engagement, the evidence-gathering procedures are more limited than for a reasonable assurance engagement and, therefore, less assurance is obtained than in a reasonable assurance engagement. We believe our evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our limited assurance conclusion.
Information and source of information
In arriving at our conclusion, we have relied upon forecast financial information prepared by management and the Directors of Equites and other information from various public, financial and industry sources.
The principal sources of information used in arriving at our conclusion are as follows:
- Management prepared forecasts for the periods ending 28 February 2016 and 29 February 2017.
- Discussions with the Directors of Equites regarding the forecasts presented and the prevailing market and economic conditions.
- Lease agreements for a sample of the leases for the properties included in the Intaprop portfolio as set out below.
- Valuation reports in respect of the properties included in the Intaprop portfolio prepared by the external property valuators.
- Indicative debt terms from bankers.
Procedures
In arriving at our conclusion we have performed the following procedures:
Rental income
- A sample selection was made from the forecast contracted rental income streams per the profit forecast and agreed to the underlying lease agreements. The sample selected was greater than 70% of contracted rental income being tested for the eight months ended 28 February 2016 and the year ended 28 February 2017 respectively.
- For that same sample of properties, forecast recoveries were compared to historical recoveries and the forecast operating expenditure for reasonableness. The terms of the leases were considered so as to ensure that the basis of the recoveries was correct.
- Existing lease agreements that will expire during the period under review were discussed with the asset managers. Unless the existing tenant has indicated that it intends to vacate the premises, it has been assumed that the existing tenant will renew the lease agreement and the resultant uncontracted rental income has been included in the forecast.
- Space that is currently empty has been excluded from the forecast except where the property managers has demonstrated that the vacant space is in the process of being let but that the lease agreement in that regard had not been signed on the date of issuing the Circular.
- The vacancy levels per the forecast model were compared to the historical vacancy levels for reasonableness. Existing vacancies of 0% of total gross lettable area have been assumed for the eight months ending 25 February 2016 and the year ending 28 February 2017.
- The straight-lining adjustment required by IFRS, of rental income generated by operating leases, was recalculated and agreed to the forecast model.
Rental income development properties
The business plan in connection with the property development was reviewed and discussed with the property developer and management. It was ensured that for development properties where no rental income was expected to be earned during the forecast period, as the relevant property is expected to still be under development, that no rental income is included in the forecast.
Expenses
For a sample of properties, forecast expenses were compared to the historical expenses, and where possible, explanations were obtained for any significant differences. Forecast property management and administrative expenses are not comparable with historic expenditure due to the change in the asset and property management. The detailed forecast expenditure was reviewed to ensure that all material expenditure items, as required by paragraph 13.14(f) of the Listing Requirements, were disclosed.
Portfolio expenses
The forecast interest expense, property management fees and other portfolio expenses were assessed for reasonableness and, where applicable, recalculated.

Application of accounting policies
We ascertained that the existing accounting policies of Equites have been consistently applied in the preparation of the forecast information. Variances and new accounting policies adopted were discussed with the directors.
Model review
In order to ensure that the forecast model for the property income and expenses was accurate and reliable, we performed a high-level review to determine the consistency and mathematical accuracy of the model.
Vacancy profile and lease expiry profile
We reviewed the individual property worksheets to ascertain that the vacancy profile and the lease expiry profile included in the model was derived from the correct sources.
Accuracy of the information
We have relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of the information provided to us in writing, or obtained through discussions from the Directors of Equites. While our work has involved an analysis of historical financial information and consideration of other information provided to us, our assurance engagement does not constitute an audit or review of historical financial information conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing or International Standards on Review Engagements.
Accordingly, we do not express an audit or review opinion thereon and assume no responsibility and make no representations in respect of the accuracy or completeness of any information provided to us, in respect of the forecast information and relevant information included in the circular.
Conclusion
Based on our examination of the evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that:
- (i) the assumptions, barring unforeseen circumstances, do not provide a reasonable basis for the preparation of the forecast information;
- (ii) the forecast information has not been properly compiled on the basis stated that being the recognition and measurement criteria of IFRS;
- (iii) the forecast information has not been properly presented and all material assumptions are not adequately disclosed; and
- (iv) the forecast information is not presented on a basis consistent with the accounting policies of Equites.
Actual results are likely to be different from the forecast, since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected and the variation may be material; accordingly no assurance is expressed regarding the achievability of the forecast.
Our report and the conclusion contained herein is provided solely for the benefit of the Board of Directors of Equites and investors of the issuer for the purpose of their consideration of the transaction. This letter is not addressed to and may not be relied upon by any other third party for any purpose whatsoever.

- Extracted without adjustment from the Intaprop audited annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014, prepared in compliance with IFRS and audited by Moore Stephens, who issued an unqualified audit opinion. The audited financial statements together with the Moore Stephens audit opinion thereon are open for inspection at the company's offices.

- Represents the following adjustments:
- 3.1. The acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Intaprop by Equites by issuing 37 891 084 new Equites shares at R12.00 per share based on the estimated purchase consideration set out in paragraph 3.2.2 of the circular.
- 3.2. Adjustments and fair value movements required for the movements within Intaprop from 30 June 2014 up to 1 July 2015. Adjustments include the elimination of deferred tax due to Equites' REIT tax status and elimination of the straight-lining lease accrual, property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets as the values of these assets are reflected in the value of the investment property acquired.
- 3.3. Consolidation entries required by IFRS including the elimination of share capital and pre-acquisition profits of Intaprop. Investment property is restated to the value attributed by the independent valuer as set out in Annexure 9 of the circular. Acquisition costs of R7 million, as set out in paragraph 26 of this circular are assumed to be settled in cash. The acquisition of shares in Intaprop comprises the acquisitions of investment properties only, and does not include the associated rental and property management businesses. The acquisition is therefore not considered to be the acquisition of a business and is accounted for in terms of ISA 40 Investment Property and does not give rise to goodwill.
-
- The financial information in the "After transaction" column assumes Equites acquires 100% of Intaprop shares and assumes the acquisition had been implemented on 28 February 2015.

"The Directors Equites Property Fund Limited 14th Floor Portside Bree Street CAPE TOWN 8001
22 July 2015
INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS' ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF EQUITES PROPERTY FUND LIMITED ("EQUITES" OR "THE GROUP")
We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of the consolidated pro forma financial information of Equites by the Directors. The pro forma financial information consists of the condensed consolidated pro forma statement of financial position as at 28 February 2015 and related notes as set out in Annexure 5 of the Circular.
The condensed consolidated pro forma statement of financial position has been compiled by the Directors on the basis of the applicable criteria specified in the JSE Limited ("JSE") Listings Requirements and the SAICA Guide ("Applicable Criteria").
The pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the corporate action or event described in the Circular, Sections 1 – 4, on the Group's statement of financial position as at 28 February 2015 as if the event or transactions had taken place at 28 February 2015, and the Group's financial performance for the period then ended. As part of this process, information about the Group's financial position has been extracted by the Directors from the group's financial statements for the period ended 28 February 2015, on which an unqualified audit report was issued on.
Directors' responsibility for the pro forma financial information
The Directors are responsible for compiling the pro forma financial information on the basis of the Applicable Criteria and in conformity with the applicable accounting framework, that being the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), and as described in the notes to the consolidated pro forma statement of financial position.
Reporting accountants' responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express an opinion about whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, by the Directors, on the basis of the Applicable Criteria based on our procedures performed.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of pro forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board, which is applicable to an engagement of this nature.
This standard requires that the practitioner comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the directors have compiled, in all material respects, the pro forma financial information on the basis of the Applicable Criteria, and in conformity with the applicable accounting framework, that being the recognition and measurement criteria of IFRS.
For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.
The purpose of pro forma financial information included in a circular is solely to illustrate the impact of the corporate action or event on unadjusted financial information of the entity as if the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration, namely the 28 February 2015. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction at 28 February 2015 would have been as presented.
A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the Applicable Criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the Applicable Criteria used in the compilation of the pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:
- the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
- the pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.
The procedures selected depend on our judgment, having regard to our understanding of the nature of the company, the event or transaction in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.
The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the pro forma financial information referred to in Annexure 5 has been compiled, in all material aspects, on the basis of the Applicable Criteria and in conformity with the applicable accounting framework, that being the recognition and measurement criteria of IFRS and as described in the notes to the consolidated pro forma statement of financial position.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW CONCLUSION ON THE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ACQUIRED BY THE COMPANY
"The Directors Equites Property Fund Limited 14th Floor Portside Bree Street CAPE TOWN 8001
22 July 2015
Dear Sirs
REVIEW CONCLUSION ON THE VALUATION AND EXISTENCE OF THE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ACQUIRED BY EQUITES PROPERTY FUND LIMITED ("EQUITES")
Introduction
We have reviewed the assets and liabilities acquired by Equites, as reflected in the acquisition adjustment columns of the pro forma statement of financial position included in Annexure 5 of the circular to be issued on or about 29 July 2015 ("the Circular").
Directors' responsibility for the pro forma statement of financial position
The directors are responsible for the compilation, contents and preparation of the adjustment columns of the pro forma statement of financial position, in accordance with the accounting policies adopted by Equites and the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
Independent reviewer's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion regarding the value and existence of the assets and liabilities acquired by Equites in accordance with the requirements of section 13.16(e) of the JSE Listings Requirements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2400 (Engagements to Review Financial Statements) which is applicable to an engagement of this nature. ISRE 2400 requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial information in respect of which we are required to issue a review conclusion, being the assets and liabilities acquired by Equites and reflected in the acquisition adjustment columns of the pro forma statement of financial position included in Annexure 5 of the circular, are not fairly valued, do not exist or are not fairly presented in all material respects in accordance with the accounting policies adopted by Equites and the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards. This Standard also requires us to comply with relevant ethical requirements.
A review of financial information in accordance with ISRE 2400 consists primarily of making inquiries of management and others within the entity involved in financial and accounting matters, applying analytical procedures, and evaluating the sufficiency and appropriateness of evidence obtained.
A review also requires performance of additional procedures when the practitioner becomes aware of matters that cause the practitioner to believe the financial information in respect of which we are required to issue a review conclusion may be materially misstated. We believe that the evidence we obtained in our review is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on this financial information.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the assets and liabilities acquired by Equites reflected in the acquisition adjustment columns of the pro forma statement of financial position included in Annexure 5 to the circular are not fairly valued, do not exist or are not fairly presented, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies adopted by Equites, and the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.

2. BASIS AND METHOD OF VALUATION [13.23 (d)]
The valuation is based on market value.
Market value means the best price, at which the sale of an interest in a property may reasonably be expected to have been completed, unconditionally for a cash consideration on the date of valuation, assuming:
- a willing seller and a willing buyer in a market;
- that, prior to the date of valuation, there had been a reasonable period (having regard to the nature of the property and the state of the market) for the proper marketing of the property, for the agreement of price and terms and for the completion of the sale; and
- that the state of the market, level of values and other circumstances are, on any earlier assumed date of exchange of contracts, the same as on the date of the valuation.
The calculation of the market value of the properties have been based on income capitalisation. This is the fundamental basis on which commercial income producing properties are traded on the market in South Africa. This is also due to there being strong supporting evidence of open market rental rates and capitalisation rates which are evidenced by sales in the market. (Section 13.23 (d)).
Properties traded in the current market reflects a yield rate relationship between revenue and capital value. This rate is an accurate determinant of the capitalisation rate.
Discounted cash flow values have, however, also been calculated for the property as a check to ensure that the capitalised value calculated is consistent with market norms and expectations.
The considerations for the capitalised valuations assume no vacancies and are based on a fully let tenancy profile. There is a vacancy in the office building described as Equity Park (of some 239m²). This will be the subject of an income guarantee with the Sellers for a period of three years. [13.23(f)(i)]
Well profiled properties which are offered on the market at realistic rentals generally lease relatively quickly, underwriting the demand in the area.
The valuation calculations are based on the following:
- a) calculating the forward cash flow of all contractual and other income from the property;
- b) calculating the forward contractual and other expenditure as well as provisions for various expenses in order to provide for void or future capital expenditure to which the property may be exposed;
- c) There is no loss of rental due to renovations or refurbishments currently being carried out on the buildings. There is, however, ongoing external maintenance work. There is no loss of rental as a result of these activities. We have allocated provisions for Repairs and Maintenance to the valuation for the properties which are not let in terms of Fully Repairing and Insuring Leases.[13.23f(ii)];
- d) generally the rentals are market related. This has been determined by comparing similar buildings in comparable areas to the property valued, in terms of rental per square metre. The rental rates have also been checked against various published indices including the South African Property Owners Association (SAPOA/ IPD) index. Where some of the accommodation is over-rented, or that cannot be re-rented at the same or higher rental rate should such property become vacant, the Discounted Cash Flow Calculations will revert to market rentals on expiry of those leases. Notwithstanding this there is therefore minimal potential for rental flow reversion. There is however, a positive upside potential for real growth in rental. This is provided that the economy remains in a slow recovery pattern as currently being experienced as that there are no major economic fluctuations which may upset the economy. (Section 13.23 (f) (iii));
- e) capitalising the net contractual income derived from the property for a period of one year in advance, calculated from 1st July 2015;
- f) the valuations have considered published market statistics regarding rental rates and expenditure for the different types of property. It is also considered numerous other portfolios of similar property in order to determine if any property are over rented or have excessive expenditure.

4. VALUATION QUALIFICATIONS
Qualifications are usually detailed as a consequence of leases under negotiation that have not yet been formalised; leases of a large nature where the premises are difficult to re-let; specialised property; large exposure to a single tenant; potential tenant failure due to over-rent; expenses required for major repairs; maintenance or other exposure to maintain the lettability of the building; contingent expropriations or servitudes that may be enforced; poor lease records whereby the lease may be disputed or rendered invalid.
I have, to the best of my knowledge, considered all of these aspects in the valuation of the property. The property is not prejudiced in value by the influence of the above factors.
The valuer is however not responsible for the competent daily management of the property that will ensure that this status is maintained, or for the change of any laws, services by local authority or economic circumstances that may adversely impact on the integrity of the buildings or the tenant profile.
5. OTHER GENERAL MATTERS AND VALUATION SUMMARY
A full valuation report will be for inspection available detailing tenancy, town planning, valuer's commentary, expenditure and other details. This has been given to the directors of Equities Property Fund Limited.
6. ALTERNATIVE USE FOR THE PROPERTY
The properties have been valued in accordance with its existing use which represents its market value. No alternative use for the properties have considered in determining its value.
7. OTHER COMMENTS
Our valuations exclude any amounts of Value-added Tax, transfer duty, or securities transfer duty.
The properties have been valued as if wholly-owned with no account being taken of any outstanding monies due in respect of mortgage bonds, loans and other charges. No deductions have been made in our valuation for costs of acquisition.
The valuations are detailed in a completed state and no deductions have been made for retention or any other set-off or deduction for any purposes which may be made at the discretion of the purchaser when purchasing the property. The valuations exclude any provision for capital expenditure, which – we are advised, has been provided for in the portfolio cash flow budgets. It is assumed that there is adequate provision to sustain the income levels projected.
Information on the properties regarding rental income, recoveries, turnovers and other income detail has been provided to me by the current owners and their managing agents.
I have received copies of the leases of the properties where such leases are the major tenant or tenants comprising anything higher than 10% occupancy of the property. The leases have been read to check against management detail, in order to ensure that management has correctly captured tenant information as per contractual agreement. This has been done to test management information against the underlying agreements.
I have further compared certain expenditure items given to me, to the market norms of similar properties. This has also been compared to historic expenditure levels of the properties themselves. Historical contractual expenditures and municipal utility services were compared to the past performances of the properties in order to assess potential expenditure going forward.
All areas quoted within the detailed valuation reports will be those stated in the information furnished and verified where plans were available. To the extent that plans were not available, reliance was placed on the information submitted by the managing agents.
The properties have been valued in their existing states, before allocations of capital expenditure. I have not carried out any structural surveys, nor inspected those areas that are unexposed or inaccessible, neither have I arranged for the testing of any electrical or other services.
The valuations assume that formal environmental assessments are not required and further that the properties are not environmentally impaired or contaminated, unless otherwise stated in our reports. [13.23(a)(xii)]
The properties are not situated outside the Republic of South Africa.[Section 13.28]
8. SOURCES OF INFORMATION [13.23 a (xiii)]
Information relating to the Property has been obtained and, where applicable, verified, from:
- Property Managers
- Our physical inspection of the properties on or about 17th June 2015 confirming the nature of improvements and the tenancies reflected in the lease schedules.
- A lease audit being undertaken by ourselves.
- Equities Property Fund
- Deeds Office; and Surveyor General's Office & Local Authorities for verification of the Title Deeds, Erf diagrams, Municipal Valuations and Town Planning conditions.
- The Sellers
- SAPOA/IPD Index with regards to vacancy surveys, comparable market rentals, operating expense profiles, annualised rental and expense growth plus the Discount and Capitalisation Rate surveys.
- The Rode Report to confirm those fundamentals referred to in the point above.
9. TOWN PLANNING RESTRICTIONS/CONDITIONS AND MATERIAL CONTRAVENTIONS OF STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS [13.23 a (vi)&(vii)]
Full town planning details and title deeds have been supplied in the detailed valuation reports including conditions and restrictions and the property has been checked against such conditions. This is to ensure that they comply with town planning regulations and title deeds. There do not appear to be any infringements of local authority regulations or deeds by the property.
The valuations have further assumed that the improvements have been erected in accordance with the relevant Building and Town Planning Regulations and on inspection it would appear that the improvements are in accordance with the relevant town planning regulations.

10. LEASES [13.23 a (ix)]
Our valuations have been based upon a lease audit and physical inspection of the property confirming the actual tenant leases supplied to us by the owners and managing agents.
Contractual escalations range from 7.5% to 8.50% going forward and virtually all rentals detailed in this report are from existing contractual leases.
In respect of the properties – most of the leases are designed so that the expenses are paid by the Tenants.
There are no intra-group leases other than the rental guarantee for the unlet office suite in Equity Park and the rental guarantee for UTI Pharm. [13.23(a)(xi)].
Save for considered assumptions being made with regard the renewal of leases, we confirm that the current rental income being achieved in the portfolio does not materially differ from the estimated future rental income. [13.29].
11. OPTIONS OR BENEFIT/DETRIMENT OF CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS
The tenant in the UTI Pharm property has a right of first refusal to acquire the same property. To my knowledge there are no other contractual arrangements on the properties other than the leases as detailed in the report that have a major benefit or are detrimental to the fundamental value base of the property. The terms of which do not include any factors which affect value and therefore do not affect my calculations. [13.23(g)]
12. CONCLUSION
I confirm that to the best of my knowledge and belief there:
- are no options held by any third parties to purchase the Properties other than the UTI Pharm agreement; [13.23(h)]
- have been no material changes between the date of the valuations and the last practicable date in any circumstances relating to the Properties, which would affect the valuation thereof.[13.23(c)]
I confirm that I have no pecuniary interest that would conflict with proper valuations of the Properties by the Fund, other than normal professional fees. With 24 years' experience in property valuation, the undersigned is qualified to express an opinion on the value of the Properties.

- G, is 8%;
- H, is 8.50%;
- I, is the Actual Yield;
- J, is 0.25%; and

Please read the notes below hereof.
NOTES:
-
- Any alteration or correction made to this form of proxy must be initialled by the signatory(ies).
-
- Shareholders that are certificated or own-name dematerialised shareholders, entitled to attend and vote at the general meeting may insert the name of a proxy or the names of two alternative proxies of the shareholder's choice in the space/s provided, with or without deleting "the chairman of the general meeting", but any such deletion must be initialled by the shareholder(s). Such proxy/ies may participate in, speak and vote at the general meeting in the place of that shareholder at the general meeting. The person whose name stands first on this form of proxy and who is present at the general meeting will be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow. If no proxy is named on a lodged form of proxy the chairperson shall be deemed to be appointed as the proxy.
-
- A shareholder's instructions to the proxy must be indicated by the insertion of the relevant number of votes exercisable by the shareholder in the appropriate box provided. Failure to comply with the above will be deemed to authorise the proxy, in the case of any proxy other than the chairman, to vote or abstain from voting as deemed fit and in the case of the chairman to vote in favour of the resolution.
-
- A shareholder or his/her proxy is not obliged to use all the votes exercisable by the shareholder, but the total of the votes cast or abstained may not exceed the total of the votes exercisable in respect of the shares held by the shareholder.
-
- A shareholder may revoke the proxy appointment by: (i) cancelling it in writing, or making a later inconsistent appointment of a proxy and (ii) delivering a copy of the revocation instrument to the proxy, and to Equites. The revocation of a proxy appointment constitutes a complete and final cancellation of the proxy's authority to act on behalf of the shareholder as at the later of the date stated in the revocation instrument, if any; or the date on which the revocation instrument was delivered in the required manner.
-
- A vote given in terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid in relation to the general meeting, notwithstanding the death of the person granting it or the transfer of the shares in respect of which the vote is given, unless an intimation in writing of such death or transfer is received by the transfer secretaries not less than 48 hours before the commencement of the general meeting.
-
- The chairman of the general meeting may reject or accept any form of proxy which is completed and/or received, otherwise than in compliance with these notes, provided that, in respect of acceptances, the chairman is satisfied as to the manner in which the shareholder concerned wishes to vote.
-
- The completion and lodging of this form of proxy will not preclude the relevant shareholder from attending the general meeting and speaking and voting in person thereat to the exclusion of any proxy appointed in terms hereof, should such shareholder wish to do so.
-
- Documentary evidence establishing the authority of a person signing this form of proxy in a representative capacity must be attached to this form of proxy, unless previously recorded by Equites or the transfer secretaries or waived by the chairman of the general meeting.
-
- A minor or any other person under legal incapacity must be assisted by his/her parent or guardian, as applicable, unless the relevant documents establishing his/her capacity are produced or have been registered by Equites or the transfer secretaries.
-
- Where there are joint holders of shares, the vote of the first joint holder who tenders a vote, as determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of shareholders, will be accepted and only that holder whose name appears first in the register in respect of such shares need to sign this form of proxy.
