Admiral House
Value at June 2010: The property:
R23,6 m Admiral House is an industrial property located in Corporate Park South, Midrand comprising
four adjoining warehouse units attached to a double storey office building. The property
Gross lettable area: historically measured 5 116 m² with 42% being office space which had led to challenges in
4 460 m² letting the property. The site measures 10 000 m2, has excellent exposure to the M1 highway
and is zoned Special for industrial use.
The opportunity:
The property was identified as non-core by the Manager because it did not meet the Fund’s
rental growth or capital return hurdles. It had been earmarked for sale, but following a fire in
2009 which started on the tenants’ premises and caused extensive damage, the Manager
re-evaluated the potential of the property. A proposal was put forward to unlock the value
inherent in its good location to redesign and rebuild the building in such a manner as to
improve the asset for Emira in the long term. The capital expenditure was fully covered by the
proceeds of the insurance claim.
The upgrade:
While the office portion of Admiral House was deemed to have value, the new building was
designed to be more efficient by reducing the office space to 20% of GLA, in line with current
tenant demand in the industrial sector and in order to enhance the rental appeal of the
industrial property.
The warehouse portion of the building was increased from its original GLA of 2 981 m² to
3 571 m². In addition, a courtyard which previously separated the offices and the warehouse
was removed to allow better vehicle access to the warehouse.
As a result of these changes, the renovated building’s GLA decreased but its new design is
more generic. It should therefore attract the interest of a broader range of potential tenants at
better rentals and thereby exceed Emira’s income streams from the old building prior to
demolition even though the total GLA has decreased from GLA 5 116 m² to 4 460 m². The project
was completed in August 2010 and letting is currently in progress.
The outcome:
The redevelopment design has improved the quality of the asset and therefore Emira’s overall
portfolio while strengthening its lettability. The refurbishment has also taken full advantage of
the location by offering an A-grade building.
Projected monthly rentals for the industrial space which has been upgraded from B-grade to
A-grade should increase by between 6% and 14%.
The industrial sector has been relatively resilient in the market downturn
partly because it did not attract the same speculative development
activity in the height of the property boom which came to an end in
2008. As a result, the sector has not been as severely affected by
oversupply as the office and retail sectors.

Disposals
The disposal of non-core buildings continued during the period, with three sectionalised units at Georgian Place being transferred out
of the Fund as well as Rinaldo Park, a small industrial unit located in KwaZulu-Natal. The sale of four buildings, Nampak Building, Howick
Gardens, QD House and Standard Bank, Glenwood – are all unconditional. All buildings with the exception of the Nampak Building were
transferred after year-end.
Nine non-core properties remain on the disposal list with a total value of R288,9 million at 30 June 2010.
One-third of Emira’s portfolio is valued by independent valuers at the end of every financial year, with the balance being valued by the
directors.
Net asset value per PI remained virtually stable during the year from 1 135 cents (1 186 cents excluding the deferred tax provision)
to 1 133 cents (1 182 cents), largely as a result of a reduction in the fair value of derivative financial instruments of R63,8 million.
This is, in effect, a mark-to-market accounting entry and is not a liability to Emira. The adjustment reflects the variance between
the interest rates payable in terms of the interest rate swaps entered into by Emira and prevailing market interest rates. It has no
impact on the distribution payable by the Fund.
Gearing
Emira has a relatively low level of gearing, with available debt facilities at attractive margins which will enable the Fund to acquire good
quality properties with sustainable income streams.
As at 30 June 2010 Emira had a total debt facility (including preference shares) available of R2 257 million, of which R1 799 million
had been accessed. Emira has entered into various swap agreements as set out below. As a result, 94,2% of the Fund’s debt has
been fixed for periods of between three and thirteen years. As at 30 June 2010, the weighted average cost of debt equated
to 9,51%.

October 2013 and November 2018.
The Collective Investment Schemes Control Act prescribes gearing limits on collective investment schemes of 60%. To date Emira has
been limited to 30% gearing in terms of its Trust Deed, however PI holders gave their approval for the limit to be increased to 40% which
became effective on 15 September 2010. Based on total assets of R7,9 billion at 30 June 2010, Emira could increase its gearing levels to
a maximum of R3,8 billion, compared to R1,8 billion or 22,7% at year-end.

The directors of STREM are responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of the financial statements of the Fund. The
financial statements presented on pages 48 to 96 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(“IFRS”), and include amounts based on judgements and estimates made by management.
The directors consider that in preparing the financial statements they have used the most appropriate accounting policies, consistently
applied and supported by reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates, and that all statements of International Financial
Reporting Standards that they consider to be applicable have been followed.
The directors are satisfied that the information contained in the financial statements fairly presents the results of operations for the
period and the financial position of the Fund at year-end. The directors also prepared the other information included in the report and
are responsible for both its accuracy and its consistency with the financial statements.
The directors have responsibility for ensuring that accounting records are kept. The accounting records should disclose with reasonable
accuracy the financial position of the Fund to enable the directors to ensure that the financial statements comply with the relevant
legislation.
The Fund operated in a well-established control environment, which is well documented and regularly reviewed. This incorporates risk
management and internal control procedures, which are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are
safeguarded and the risks facing the business, are being controlled.
The going-concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements. The directors have no reason to believe that the Fund
will not be a going-concern in the foreseeable future, based on forecasts and available cash resources. These financial statements
support the viability of the Fund.
The Fund’s external auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers Incorporated, audited the financial statements, and their report is presented on
the next page.
The annual financial statements of the Fund, incorporating statutorily required information in respect of the Fund, for the year ended

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE PARTICIPATORY INTEREST HOLDERS OF EMIRA PROPERTY FUND
We have audited the Group annual financial statements and annual financial statements of Emira Property Fund, which comprise the
consolidated and separate statements of financial position as at 30 June 2010, and the consolidated and separate statements of
comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory notes, as set out on pages 48 to 96.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated and separate financial position of Emira
Property Fund as at 30 June 2010, and its consolidated and separate financial performance and its consolidated and separate cash flows
for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and in the manner required by the Companies

1 General information
Emira Property Fund (“the Fund”) and its subsidiaries (together “the Group”) hold a major portfolio of investment properties in
South Africa.
These consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue by the board of directors of Strategic Real Estate Managers
(Proprietary) Limited (STREM) on 30 September 2010.
The shareholders do not have the power to amend the consolidated financial statements after issue.
The Group reports cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method.
The acquisitions of investment properties are disclosed as cash flows from investing activities because this most appropriately
reflects the Group’s business activities.
Cash flows from investing and financing activities are determined using the direct method.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also
requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. Changes in
assumptions may have a significant impact on the financial statements in the period the assumptions changed. Management
believes that the underlying assumptions are appropriate. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or
areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 3.
IAS 40 Investment Property, amendment (and consequential amendment to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment)
The amendments are part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008 and are effective from 1 January
2009. Property that is under construction or development for future use as investment property is brought within the scope
of IAS 40. Where the fair value model is applied, such property is measured at fair value. However, where fair value of
investment property under construction is not reliably determinable, the property is measured at cost until the earlier of the
date construction is completed and the date at which fair value becomes reliably measurable. As the Group does not have
any property under construction, there were no effects of adoption.

2.2 Consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and
operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect
of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls
another entity.
Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity. There are no jointly controlled entities
within the Group.
An associate is an entity, including an unincorporated entity such as a partnership, over which the investor has significant
influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. No consolidated entity holds interests in any associate.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the
date that control ceases.
Accounting for business combinations under IFRS 3 only applies if it is considered that a business has been acquired.
Under IFRS 3 Business Combinations, a business is defined as an integrated set of activities and assets conducted and managed
for the purpose of providing a return to investors or lower costs or other economic benefits directly and proportionately to
policyholders or participants. A business generally consists of inputs, processes applied to those inputs, and resulting outputs that
are, or will be, used to generate revenues. In the absence of such criteria, a group of assets is deemed to have been acquired. If
goodwill is present in a transferred set of activities and assets, the transferred set is presumed to be a business.
For acquisitions meeting the definition of a business, the purchase method of accounting is used. The cost of an acquisition is
measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of
exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at
their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition
over the fair value of the group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is
less than the fair value of the group’s share of the net assets acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the profit or loss for
the year as negative goodwill.
For acquisitions not meeting the definition of a business, the group allocates the cost between the individual identifiable assets
and liabilities in the Group based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. Such transactions or events do not give
rise to goodwill.
All the group companies have 30 June as their year-end. Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform
accounting policies for like transactions. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure
consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised
losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
The group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with parties external to the group.
Minority interests represent the portion of profit and net assets not held by the group. They are presented separately in the
statement of comprehensive income and in the consolidated statement of financial position separately from the amounts
attributable to the owners of the parent. At year-end, no minority interest exists.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented net in the
statements of comprehensive income within finance income or finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses
are presented net in the statements of comprehensive income within other losses or gains.
Borrowing costs incurred for the purpose of acquiring, developing or producing a qualifying investment property are capitalised
as part of its cost. Borrowing costs are capitalised while acquisition or development is actively underway and cease once the asset
is substantially complete, or suspended if the development of the asset is suspended.
After initial recognition, investment property is carried at fair value. Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted, if
necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. If this information is not available, the Group
uses alternative valuation methods, such as recent prices on less active markets or discounted cash flow projections. Valuations
are performed as of the financial position date by professional valuers who hold recognised and relevant professional
qualifications and have recent experience in the location and category of the investment property being valued. These valuations
form the basis for the carrying amounts in the financial statements. Investment property that is being redeveloped for continuing
use as investment property or for which the market has become less active continues to be measured at fair value.
Fair value measurement on property under development is only applied if the fair value is considered to be reliably measurable.
It may sometimes be difficult to determine reliably the fair value of the investment property under development. In order to
evaluate whether the fair value of an investment property under development can be determined reliably, management
considers the following factors, among others:
• The provisions of the development contract
• The stage of completion
• Whether the project/property is standard (typical for the market) or non-standard
• The level of reliability of cash inflows after completion
• The development risk specific to the property
• Past experience with similar developments.
The fair value of investment property reflects, among other things, rental income from current leases and assumptions about
rental income from future leases in the light of current market conditions. The fair value also reflects, on a similar basis, any cash
outflows that could be expected in respect of the property.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits
associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and
maintenance costs are expensed when incurred.
When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.
The fair value of investment property does not reflect future capital expenditure that will improve or enhance the property and
does not reflect the related future benefits from this future expenditure other than those a rational market participant would take
into account when determining the value of the property.
Changes in fair values are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Investment properties are derecognised either
when they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic
benefit is expected from its disposal.
Where the Group disposes of a property at fair value in an arm’s length transaction, the carrying value immediately prior to the
sale is adjusted to the transaction price, and the adjustment is recorded in the statement of comprehensive income within net
gain from fair value adjustment on investment property.
Gains or losses arising from the disposal of investment properties, being the difference between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying value, are brought to account in the determination of the net income/loss for the year. The net gains or losses are
transferred from retained earnings to a fair value reserve and are not available for distribution in accordance with the Fund’s Trust
Deed.
Fixtures and fittings are linked to specific properties. Consequently, any gains or losses on disposal are incorporated with the
gains or losses on the disposal of the investment property.
2.7 Leases
(a) A Group company is the lessee
(i) Operating lease
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by another party, the lessor, are
classified as operating leases. Payments, including prepayments, made under operating leases (net of any incentives
received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Properties
leased out under operating leases are included in investment properties.
E ach lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the
finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in current and
non-current borrowings. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease
period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Investment properties recognised under finance leases are carried at their fair value.
(b) A Group company is the lessor in an operating lease
Properties leased out under operating leases are included in investment property in the statement of financial position.
(c) A Group company is the lessor – fees paid in connection with arranging leases and lease incentives
The Group makes payments to agents for services in connection with negotiating lease contracts with the Group’s lessees.
The letting fees are capitalised within the carrying amount of the related investment property and amortised over the lease
term.
Lease incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
2.9 Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets
of the acquired business at the date of acquisition (providing that the acquisition fulfils the definition of a business combination
in accordance with IFRS 3). Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of
goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-
generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the
goodwill arose identified according to operating segment.
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables.
The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification
of its financial assets at initial recognition.
A financial asset is designated as fair value through profit or loss because either it eliminates or significantly reduces a
measurement or recognition inconsistently that would otherwise arise from measuring the asset or recognising the gains or
losses on it on different bases; or a group of financial assets is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis,
in accordance with a risk management or investment strategy and information about the Group is provided internally on
that basis to key management personnel. Under this criterion, the main classes of financial assets designated at fair value
through profit or loss by the Group are listed property investments.
Subsequently to initial recognition, these assets are measured at fair value. All related realised and unrealised gains and
losses arising from changes in fair value are included in fair value gains on financial assets at fair value through profit and
loss.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” category are
presented in the statement of comprehensive income within “net fair value adjustments” in the period in which they arise.
Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive
income as part of other income when the Group’s right to receive payment is established.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
All loans and borrowings are classified as other liabilities. Initial recognition is at fair value less directly attributable transaction
costs. After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method.
Financial liabilities included in trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised
cost. The fair value of a non-interest bearing liability is its discounted repayment amount. If the due date of the liability is less
than one year, discounting is omitted.
The Group obtains deposits from tenants as a guarantee for returning the property at the end of the lease term in a specified
good condition or for the lease payments for a period ranging from 1 to 12 months. Such deposits are treated as financial
liabilities in accordance with IAS 39 and they are initially recognised at fair value. The difference between fair value and cash
received is considered to be part of the minimum lease payments received for the operating lease. The deposit is subsequently
measured at amortised cost.
2.17 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised
cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised as finance cost over
the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable
that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there
is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for
liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for
at least 12 months after the date of the statement of financial position.
Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised and subsequently stated at fair value. The gain or loss on re-measurement
to fair value is taken immediately to profit or loss. The fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the Group
would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the statement of financial position date, taking into account current interest rates
and the current creditworthiness of the swap counterparties.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not
accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at
the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates
(and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the date of the statement of financial position and are expected
to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax
assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary
differences can be utilised.
The carrying value of the Group’s investment property will generally be realised by a combination of income (rental stream during
the period of use) and capital (the consideration on the sale at the end of use). Where different tax rates exist for income and
capital gains, the Group considers the planned recovery of the asset and how that affects the tax rate used in the calculation of
the deferred tax.
The length of the period for which a property will be held prior to disposal is based on the Group’s current plans and recent
experience with similar properties. The capital gains tax rate applied is that which would apply on a direct sale of the property
recorded in the statement of financial position, regardless of whether the Group would structure the sale via the disposal of the
subsidiary holding the asset, to which a different tax rate may apply. The deferred tax is then calculated based on the respective
temporary differences and tax consequences arising from recovery through use and recovery through sale.
2.20 Provisions
Provisions for legal claims are recognised when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events;
it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in
the provision due to passage of time is recognised as finance cost.
Where the Group, as lessee, is contractually required to restore a leased property to an agreed condition prior to release by a
lessor, provision is made for such costs as they are identified.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of
allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly
discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts throughout the expected life of the financial instrument, or a shorter period
where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective interest
rate, the Group estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment
options) but does not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties
to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts.
The future rental rates were estimated depending on the actual location, type and quality of the properties and taking into
account market data and projections at the valuation date, as well as the length of vacant periods following the expiry of existing
lease agreements.
4 Operating segments
The Group adopted IFRS 8 Operating Segments. This has not resulted in an increase in the number of reportable segments
presented.
The chief operating decision maker is the person or group that allocates resources to and assesses the performance of the
operating segments of an entity. The Group has determined that its chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) of the Fund.
Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the CEO in making strategic decisions.
The CEO considers the business based on the following operating segments:
• Office
• Retail
• Industrial
The operating segments derive their revenue primarily from rental income from lessees. All of the Group’s business activities and
operating segments are reported within the above segments.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the date of the statement of
financial position. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer,
broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market
transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price.
These instruments are included in level 1. The instrument included in level 1 comprises an investment in a property trust, listed
on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), classified as trading security.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is
determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where
it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument
are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
– Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
– The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on
observable yield curves.

The directors are responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of the financial statements of Strategic Real Estate
Managers (Proprietary) Limited. The financial statements presented on pages 99 to 107 have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and include amounts based on judgements and estimates made by management.
The directors consider that in preparing the financial statements they have used the most appropriate accounting policies, consistently
applied and supported by reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates, and that all statements of International Financial
Reporting Standards that they consider to be applicable have been followed.
The directors are satisfied that the information contained in the financial statements fairly presents the results of operations for the year
and the financial position of the company at year-end. The directors also prepared the other information included in the annual report
and are responsible for both its accuracy and its consistency with the financial statements.
The directors have responsibility for ensuring that accounting records are kept. The accounting records should disclose with reasonable
accuracy the financial position of the company to enable the directors to ensure that the financial statements comply with the relevant
legislation.
Strategic Real Estate Managers (Proprietary) Limited operated in a well-established control environment, which is well documented and
regularly reviewed. This incorporates risk management and internal control procedures, which are designed to provide reasonable, but
not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded and the risks facing the business are being controlled.
The going-concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements. The directors have no reason to believe that the
company will not be a going concern in the foreseeable future, based on forecasts and available cash resources. These financial
statements support the viability of the company.
The company’s external auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers Incorporated, audited the financial statements, and their report is presented
on page 98.
The financial statements were approved by the board of directors on 30 September 2010 and are signed on its behalf:
We declare that to the best of our knowledge, for the year ended 30 June 2010, the company has lodged with the Registrar of Companies
all such returns as are required of a public company in terms of section 268G(d) of the Companies Act, 1973, as amended and all such
returns are true, correct and up to date.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF STRATEGIC REAL ESTATE MANAGERS (PROPRIETARY) LIMITED
We have audited the annual financial statements of Strategic Real Estate Managers (Proprietary) Limited, which comprise the statement
of financial position as at 30 June 2010, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year
then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, and the directors’ report, as set out on pages
99 to 107.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the
entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Strategic Real Estate Managers
(Proprietary) Limited as at 30 June 2010, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards and in the manner required by the Companies Act of South Africa.

2 Special resolution
2.1 Special resolution number 1
“Resolved that the directors of Strategic Real Estate Managers (Proprietary) Limited, be hereby authorised by way of a renewable
general authority, to approve the repurchase of its own participatory interests by the Fund as and when they in their discretion
deem fit, subject to the Trust Deed of the Fund and the JSE Listings Requirements, when applicable, provided that:
• this general authority shall be valid until the Fund’s next annual general meeting or for 15 months from the date of the passing
of this resolution, whichever period is shorter;
• the repurchase of participatory interests will be effected through the order book operated by the JSE trading system and done
without any prior understanding or arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty (reported trades are prohibited);
• an announcement complying with the JSE Listings Requirements be published by the Fund when (i) the Fund has cumulatively
repurchased 3% of the participatory interests in issue as at the time the general authority was given (“the initial number”) and
(ii) for each 3% in aggregate of the initial number of participatory interests acquired thereafter by the Fund;
• the general repurchase by the Fund of its own participatory interests shall not in the aggregate in any one financial year exceed
20% of the Fund’s issued capital of that class as at the beginning of the financial year (or 10% in the case of a subsidiary);
• repurchases must not be made at a price more than 10% above the weighted average of the market value of the participatory
interests for the five business days immediately preceding the date on which the transaction is effected;
• at any point in time the Fund may only appoint one agent to effect any repurchase on the Fund’s behalf;
• the Fund will not repurchase participatory interests during a prohibited period as defined in paragraph 3.67 unless Emira has in
place a repurchase programme where the dates and quantities of securities to be traded during the relevant period are fixed
(not subject to any variation) and full details of the programme have been disclosed in an announcement over SENS prior to
the commencement of the prohibited period; and
• such repurchases shall be subject to the Trust Deed of the Fund, the provisions of the Collective Investment Schemes Act and
the JSE Listings Requirements, where applicable.
The directors of Strategic Real Estate Managers (Proprietary) Limited, undertake that they will not implement any such repurchases
as contemplated above, unless:
• the Fund and the Group are able, in the ordinary course of business, to pay its debts for a period of 12 months after the date of
the general repurchase;
• the assets of the Fund and the Group, being fairly valued in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, are
in excess of the liabilities of the Fund and the Group for a period of 12 months after the date of the general repurchase;
• the participatory interest capital and reserves of the Fund and the Group are adequate for a period of 12 months after the date
of the general repurchase;
• the available working capital of the Fund and the Group will be adequate for ordinary business purposes for a period of
12 months after the date of the notice of the general repurchase; and
• before entering the market to proceed with the repurchase, the Fund’s sponsor has confirmed the adequacy of the Fund’s and
the Group’s working capital in writing to the JSE.
The JSE Listings Requirements require the following disclosure, some of which are elsewhere in the annual report of which this

Of (address)
2. or failing him/her
3. the Chairman of the annual general meeting, as my/our proxy to attend, speak and vote for me/us and on my behalf or abstain from
voting at the annual general meeting of the Fund and at any adjournment thereof, as follows (see note 2 and instruction 2 overleaf):
1.1 To receive, consider and adopt the annual financial statements for the financial
year ended 30 June 2010
Signed at on 2010
Signature(s)
Notes
1. A participatory interest holder entitled to attend and vote at the meeting may appoint a proxy to speak and vote in this capacity.
A proxy need not be a participatory interest holder of the Fund. Proxy forms should be forwarded to reach the Fund’s
transfer secretary Computershare Investor Services (Proprietary) Limited, Ground Floor, 70 Marshall Street, Johannesburg, 2001
(PO Box 61051, Marshalltown, 2107) by no later than 14:00 on Friday, 12 November 2010. The appointment of a proxy will not
preclude a participatory interest holder from attending the meeting.
2. A participatory interest holder may insert the name of a proxy or alternative proxy of the ordinary participatory interest holder’s
choice in the space provided with or without deleting “the Chairman of the annual general meeting”. The participatory interest
holder must initial any such deletion. The person whose name appears first on the form of proxy and has not been deleted will be
entitled to act as a proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow.
3. A participatory interest holder’s instructions to the proxy must be indicated by the insertion of the relevant number of votes
exercisable by that participatory interest holder in the appropriate space provided. Failure to comply with the above will be
deemed to authorise the Chairman of the annual general meeting, if he/she is an authorised proxy, to vote in favour of the
resolutions, or any other proxy to vote or abstain from voting at the annual general meeting as he/she deems fit, in respect of the
participatory interest holder’s vote exercisable thereat. A participatory interest holder or his/her proxy is not obliged to use all the
votes exercisable by the participatory interest holder or by his/her proxy, but the total of votes cast and in respect whereof
abstention is recorded may not exceed the total of the votes exercisable by the participatory interest holder or his/her proxy.
5. Documentary evidence establishing the authority of a person signing this form of proxy in a representative capacity must be
attached to this form unless previously recorded by the transfer secretaries of the Fund or waived by the Chairman of the annual
general meeting.
6. His/her parent or guardian, as applicable, must assist a minor or any other persona under legal incapacity unless the relevant
documents establishing his/her capacity are produced or have been registered by the Fund.
7. The completion and lodging of this form will not preclude the relevant ordinary participatory interest holder from attending the
annual general meeting and speaking and voting in person thereat to the exclusion of any proxy appointed in terms hereof,
should such participatory interest holder wish to do so.
8. The Chairman of the annual general meeting may accept or reject a proxy which is completed and/or received other than in
accordance with the instructions, provided that he/she shall not accept a proxy unless he/she is satisfied as to the manner in
which a participatory interest holder wishes to vote.
9. If participatory interest holders have dematerialised their participatory interests with a CSDP or broker, other than own name
dematerialised participatory interest holders, they must arrange with the CSDP or broker concerned to provide them with the
necessary authorisation to attend the general meeting and vote thereat, or the participatory interest holders concerned must
instruct their CSDP or broker as to how they wish to vote in this regard. This must be done in terms of the agreement entered into
between the participatory interest holders and the CSDP or broker concerned.
