SA Corporate is a collective investment scheme in property, also known as a Property Unit Trust (“PUT”) registered under the CollectiveInvestment Schemes Control Act, No. 45 of 2002 (“the Act”).
Due to its legal structure as a PUT, the Fund acts as a conduit for pre-tax net property income to flow through to unitholders. TheFund is required to distribute 100% of its distributable earnings to its unitholders and this is done each year in March and Septemberfor the six months ending 31 December and 30 June, respectively. In terms of this legal structure, the only expenditure incurred bythe Fund is that relating to its property investments, audit fees, service fees and costs incurred as a consequence of being listed onthe JSE. As prescribed in the Act, the Fund is required to have an external management company (SA Corporate Real Estate FundManagers Limited, “the Manco”), which is approved by the Registrar of Collective Investment Schemes and governed by the TrustDeed. The Manco conducts all the affairs of the Fund and incurs all other expenses on behalf of the Fund. The board of directors (“theBoard”) of the Manco is therefore deemed to be the Board of the Fund and acts as such. The Manco has outsourced the day to dayoperational management to an appointed asset manager (Old Mutual Property Investments) and all staff required to manage the Fundare employed directly by the asset manager.

INTRODUCTION
At the start of 2008 the signs of a weakening economy and expectations of tougher trading conditions, especially in the retail sector,were noted. Recent global financial events have further impacted domestic economic growth and investment markets. As expected,these conditions are influencing retail spend, tenants' profitability, the demand for space, the cost of funding and the pricing ofinvestment property.
SA Corporate's total distribution for 2008 was 29,75 cents per unit. This was 2,7% lower than the circular forecast made in March2007. However the Fund's total return (distribution yield plus price movement) was -27,7%, due to a reduction in the unit price from400 cents at the beginning of the year to 260 cents at year end.
There has been ongoing review of the Fund's strategy and performance by management and the deliberations of the Board in thisarea have been extensive and robust. As announced in October 2008, the executive and management team are pursuing a clear setof objectives aimed at improving the overall quality of the Fund's property portfolio and earnings, thereby enhancing investmentperformance for the benefit of unitholders.
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
During the second half of last year the significance of the global financial and banking crisis became clearer, although South Africaappeared to be somewhat shielded from the global storm. However, in recent months there have been strong messages of concernfrom both National Treasury and the Reserve Bank about the knock-on impact of global conditions on domestic growth and this hasbeen evidenced in the recent National Budget and the indication of aggressive interest rate cuts to come.
The stages of the different property sectors anticipated for 2009 are illustrated below. The factors affecting the different sectors aremore fully dealt with in the Management Company's Review.
Chairman’s Report
The historically low vacancy levels across all sectors have undoubtedly helped to keep rental levels firm and the local property markethas, to date, held up comparatively well.
The fact that the foreign ownership of JSE listed property is very low has also shielded domestic funds from widespread global andemerging market fund withdrawals. Local listed property investors saw a return of -4,5% for 2008, while global investors saw a returnof close to -50% for the year.

Chairman’s Report (continued)
An analysis of listed property performance with other broad asset classes is set out below:
Although bonds outperformed listed property in 2008, investors in listed property fared significantly better than those in equities.The investment performance of listed property in recent years has been impressive with consistent outperformance of other assetclasses.
BBBEE AND TRANSFORMATION
SA Corporate has made positive progress in terms of various BBBEE transformation initiatives during the year under review, in particularin the category of preferential procurement. This is discussed in further detail in the Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Reporton pages 39 and 40.
SA Corporate concluded a BEE transaction in 2007, in terms of which the Wipken Trust acquired a stake in the Fund. Unfortunately,due to the lower unit price and a consequent breach of funding covenants, the ownership of the Wipken Trust transferred from theBBBEE parties to the funders of the Trust in April 2008. Under current legislation the Fund was not able to provide financial assistanceto support the transaction. I am pleased that Mr Musa Ngcobo and Ms Louisa Mojela have remained on the Board as independentdirectors.
GOVERNANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Board and management team is committed to ensuring that sound corporate governance and ethical behaviour is adhered toand further detail is set out in the Corporate Governance Report on pages 28 to 34. There has been a particular emphasis on improvingdisclosure in the results announcements and in this annual report.

OUTLOOK
Property investment and rental markets are likely to be challenging during the course of 2009. The effects of a further slowdown ineconomic growth are expected to impact smaller retailers and tenant failure and vacancies in this category pose the greatest risksto distributable earnings growth. Further aggressive cutting of local interest rates will be important in terms of both stemming businessfailures and improving consumer confidence - two key factors for commercial property.
I remain confident that the strategy which has been approved by the Board to improve the quality of the Fund's property portfolioand earnings is being actively pursued by the executive and management teams. There are early signs of progress and it is encouragingthat the Fund's unit price has shown consistent relative outperformance during the last quarter of 2008 and into 2009. Based uponcurrent indications, modest growth in distributions is expected in 2009.
The Fund has a net tangible asset value of 369 cents per unit which is well above current trading prices. Even with the risk of slowdistribution growth, the Fund's current historic yield of over 12% is attractive when compared to that of the sector average and cashyields.
During uncertain economic times, quality and transparent cash earnings and balance sheet strength should continue to benefit investors.
APPRECIATION FOR BOARD, MANAGEMENT AND STAFF
There have been no changes to the Board during the year under review and I record my appreciation to our board members for theirguidance and counsel.
I also wish to recognise the effort and commitment of the executives, management and staff during what has been a challengingyear for the Fund. Their determination to improve Fund performance for the benefit of investors is unquestioned.

Management Company’s Review
INTRODUCTION
The investment and property market changed markedly over the past twelve months and this was felt in the performance of the Fund'sproperty portfolio. Operating conditions were considerably tougher and more challenging than in 2007, when considerable progresshad been achieved in growing and repositioning the Fund. The impact of the changed conditions was two-fold. The higher cost offunding, coupled with direct property investment yields remaining firm, curtailed fund expansion opportunities. In addition propertyrental growth was muted, particularly in the retail sector where consumer spending constraints became more evident and the demandfor space declined as the year progressed.
The curtailing of fund expansion activities did, however, provide the ideal opportunity to review and realign the current portfolio afterthe steep pace of acquisitions of the previous year.
STRATEGIC REVIEW
SA Corporate currently has a high exposure to community and neighbourhood shopping centres and it is the intention to reduce thisexposure and to increase the Fund's investment in larger, dominant retail centres of high quality over the medium term. The industrialportfolio is extremely well let and of the highest quality. These properties continue to attract strong tenancies, resulting in healthyrental and capital growth. The office portfolio constitutes a small proportion of the Fund's portfolio and is a sector that has beenearmarked for increased investment as and when attractive opportunities arise.
During 2007, SA Corporate acquired SA Retail Properties Limited, which incorporated the opportunistic acquisition of the Sharemaxportfolio, as part of a strategy to expand and position the Fund as a diversified portfolio. In addition, the Fund acquired the R964million Buffcol portfolio, consisting of primarily single tenanted industrial properties, and concluded a number of further individualacquisitions and developments. These acquisitions resulted in the portfolio investment value increasing from R3,1bn to R8,5bn, with59% of the portfolio being invested in the retail sector, of which two thirds were in centres of less than 25 000m2. It also resulted ina substantial portfolio in terms of the number of properties managed and in portfolio weightings that were not fully aligned with theFund's long term investment objectives and, in some cases, property size and quality requirements.
During 2008, managements' in-depth analysis and performance grading of each building within the portfolio resulted in specificstrategies being agreed and implemented in respect of those properties which present the greatest challenges to sustained rentalgrowth. These actions ranged from specific leasing strategies, to redevelopments and property disposals where management was ofthe view that future income growth was limited or that the Fund is over exposed to certain categories of properties.
To reduce the number of properties in the portfolio and optimise management expertise and focus, a decision was made to sell thelower value properties in the portfolio through a managed disposal programme to ensure that the best exit value is achieved. 41properties have been identified, constituting less than 3% of portfolio value but more than 20% in number. Other properties, whichhave been identified as non-core due to their specialised nature and hence potential tenancy risk, will also be realised from the portfolioin due course. The Fund has an overweight position to smaller retail properties and management has identified properties in thiscategory which are being marketed for sale.
As at year end, there were a total of eight unconditional sales concluded, with a total property value of R177,1 million. A further eightsales to the value of R270,0 million have been transacted, but these remain subject to suspensive conditions in favour of the buyers.

STRATEGIC REVIEW (continued)
The Fund's strategy aims to:
• Provide unitholders with an easily tradeable moderate risk investment in the real estate asset class in South AfricaThe risk in the portfolio is reduced through the following measures:• The portfolio exposure is spread across different regions, property sectors, classes and types of property;• The fund will only consider taking development risk if a minimum pre-let position of 70% can be attained;• Exposure to any single tenant is limited to 5%;• At least 66% of the portfolio is to be leased to listed companies and national tenants;• Investment in real estate in South Africa will be directly in property, except for short term tactical considerations; and• Debt funding shall not be more than 50% of the total investment portfolio value and at least 70% of debt is to be at fixed
interest rates with a spread of maturities up to 10 years.
• Manage a balanced, well diversified portfolio of retail, industrial and office property in major metropolitan areasThe portfolio will maintain weightings across the retail, industrial and office sectors. Not less than 75% of the portfolio will beinvested in South Africa with a maximum exposure of 10% elsewhere in Africa. The portfolio will comprise no more than 150properties of sufficient size and quality to ensure long term sustained rental growth.
• Deliver superior investment returns by constantly improving the quality of the Fund's property portfolio and earningsThis strategy entails the disposal of non-core properties referred to earlier, realising smaller value properties, reducing exposureto smaller retail property types and improving the quality of portfolio and sustainable long term earnings growth.
• Fulfill the Fund's social and environmental responsibilitiesSA Corporate is committed to managing its portfolio in a way that takes cognisance of social and environmental considerations.Readers are referred to the Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Report on page 38 to 41 for a more detailed discussion ofthe Fund's efforts in this regard.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Distributable earnings for the twelve months amounted to R627m (2007: R619m, which included R44m once off income). This equatesto a distribution of 29,75 cents per unit for the year under review. The distribution for the previous year was 32,0 cents and includeda once off amount of 2,4 cents relating to the SA Retail Properties Limited acquisition.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 811
Due to the SA Retail, Sharemax and Buffcol properties being included in the Fund for the full 2008 year, revenue and expenses areboth significantly higher than in 2007. The previous table splits out the properties held for the full 12 months in each year so thata comparison of growth can be done.
The cost to income ratios are as follows:
Retail Industrial Office & other Group % % % %
2007 (Revised) Net property costs to rental 7,6 6,2 16,9 7,8 Gross property costs to rental 29,3 18,3 27,8 25,4
2008 Net property costs to rental 5,8 5,3 11,6 6,2 Gross property costs to rental 31,3 18,0 21,3 26,5
FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
Note: Letting commissions and tenant installation costs have been excluded in the calculation of the above ratios.
Although gross property costs to rental have increased due to higher expenses in 2008, the recovery of expenses has improvedand net property costs to rental have decreased in all sectors.
As a PUT, the Fund distributes all net income from its investment properties, after deducting funding costs, and fund and administrativeexpenses as set out on the previous table. The largest administrative cost is the service fee which is 0,4% of enterprise value(calculated as market capitalisation plus debt) and is paid to the Manco. The increase in this cost is due to the larger fund size forthe 2008 year.
Detail on the management of funding costs, including detail of loans, fixes and debt maturity dates is set out in the Risk Reporton pages 35 to 37.
Distributable earnings are reconciled to the net (loss) / profit as detailed below:
2008 2007 R000 R000

Net (loss)/profit (522 771) 1 088 643
The goodwill which arose on the acquisition of the SA Retail Properties Limited in 2007, was tested for impairment and written offin the year under review. The impairment was due to the change in the yield on the Fund's units from 8% at 31 December 2007to 11,4% at 31 December 2008.
12
Management Company’s Review (continued)
The property portfolio was written down by R224 million due to the change in capitalisation rates and higher risk premiums in discountrates. The write down and the reclassification of properties held for disposal resulted in a reversal of deferred tax previously provided.The goodwill and revaluations resulted in the Fund showing a net loss for the year of R523 million. This did not, however, affectdistributable earnings, or distributions to unitholders, which were 29,75 cents per unit. This distribution was lower than the prior year's32 cents per unit, however the 2007 distributions included some once off income and the current year distributions were higher thanthe annuity income in the prior year.

• Portfolio performanceRetailThe retail portfolio under-performed in terms of property income as the deteriorating economic environment continued toweigh heavily on the retail market, influencing demand for space and being directly felt in the slow leasing take-up of vacantspace and lower turnover rentals. While the bulk of expiring leases were renewed at higher base rentals, in most cases thesewere merely catching up to turnover-linked rates and there was an increase in the number of leases where the rental wasunchanged or else had declined. There was an oversupply of space in the market, with new centres coming on stream, andthis clearly had an impact on vacancies and rental levels in competing existing centres.
In the SA Corporate portfolio, retail rentals achieved on renewals in the 2008 financial year were on average 7% higherthan closing. This has been offset, however, by an increase in the retail vacancies, which are detailed more fully later inthis report.
Turnover rental from the retail portfolio fell by 9% to R13,2 million. This is generally indicative of the declining retail outlook,but it is informative to note that while sales in the high end fashion and luxury stores experienced the greatest drop-off,essentials such as food and value fashion continued to trade well. Turnover growth amongst the grocery anchors acrossthe Fund's retail properties matched that of prior years.
IndustrialThe industrial rental market performed particularly well in the first half of the year, although the rate of rental growth slowedin the second half. Average rentals of new leases concluded in the year were 21,5% higher than the expiring rentals andthis growth will continue to generate strong property earnings from the industrial portfolio. Industrial vacancies have largelybeen maintained at historic lows, particularly in the prime nodes, although there is increasing evidence that the slowingeconomy is curtailing demand in secondary locations.

Portfolio performance (continued)The Fund's industrial portfolio is very well let, with strong tenant demand for space. The focus on prime locations and flexibledesign criteria in the investment process has positioned the portfolio well for sustained growth into the future.
Offices & otherOffice rentals remained robust during the year, with significant rentals achieved in the prime space sector. There is, however,cause for caution in certain nodes, where speculative office development has given rise to an oversupply of space, a largeproportion of which remains unlet. The prime decentralised nodes and office parks have generally maintained current marketrental levels, with a levelling off in the B-grade office category. In the Fund's office portfolio, average rentals in recent leasesconcluded in 2008 were on average 10,7% up on closing.
• Review of portfolio activity over the past yearAs mentioned earlier, the Fund has embarked on a disposal strategy to improve the quality of the portfolio and earnings.As part of this strategy the smaller properties within the portfolio will be realised with the objective of maintaining a portfolioof not more than 150 properties in order to improve management focus. Another objective is to reduce the weighting ofsmaller retail centres and a number of these properties together with other non-core assets have been identified for sale.Several sale agreements have already been concluded, some of which are now unconditional with others pending thefulfillment of suspensive conditions. The sales process mentioned earlier in this report will see a marked increase in disposalactivity in the coming financial year, as the portfolio is realigned with the Fund strategy.
# Deals contracted subsequent to 31 December 2008 year end
There are a further eight properties to the value of R270million which are contracted but subject to suspensive conditions.In terms of SA Corporate's ongoing disposal strategy, a further R1,47bn of property has been identified for sale and themarketing thereof is underway.
The proceeds from this disposal activity will in the first instance be utilised to fund existing capital commitments and plannedretail refurbishments and extensions. Surplus proceeds from property disposals will be directed towards the buy back ofthe Fund's units, subject to the investment parameters at the time. The alternatives of repaying debt and holding cash forproperty investment will continue to be monitored.

• ValuationsThe Fund's portfolio was independently valued at 31 December 2008 by CBRE. The valuations are carried out on a discountedcash flow basis. The value of the portfolio at year end was R8,8bn which reflected a 1% decrease over the comparablestanding portfolio value at 31 December 2007.
The standing retail portfolio declined in value by 3%, adversely impacted by weaker discount and capitalisation rates togetherwith lower contractual and market rental growth. The office and industrial portfolios increased in value by 5% and 2%respectively, boosted by higher rental growth but similarly affected by higher risk premiums in the applicable discount rates.
• Review of portfolio activity over the past year (continued)The table below sets out the acquisition and development activity during the year under review. These investments, althoughdilutionary at current funding rates, are quality properties and will enhance the overall portfolio.
The last development committed to in 2007 was Renbro Shopping Centre, in Hammanskraal near Pretoria, which is expectedto transfer to the Fund in March 2009. This R108,6m turnkey development has a 9% guaranteed yield.
With the exception of Philani and Paarden Eiland, which are dealt with below, the above investments are performing in linewith original viabilities.
Philani Valley Shopping Centre, which opened in July 2008 in Umlazi, Durban, is currently experiencing difficult tradingconditions. Management is proactively seeking suitable tenancy for the vacant 1 941m2 (15% of the lettable area). TheFund's other investments in previously under-resourced areas have performed at or ahead of expectations and managementremains confident of the medium to long term success of this centre.
In December 2008 SA Corporate completed the construction of a 15 900m2 high tech industrial development in PaardenEiland, Cape Town. There is currently favourable tenant interest being shown in a number of the individual units andmanagement is positive about the leasing of this investment in the short to medium term.

• Valuations (continued)The portfolio has a weighted average forward yield of 9,2% and reflects a weighted IRR of 15,0% (2007: 8,6% and 14,2%respectively). The sector analysis is set out in the table below:
The portfolio valuation gives rise to a net tangible asset value (which excludes goodwill and part of the deferred taxationliability) of 369 cents per unit, inclusive of the distribution to be paid (2007: 377 cents per unit).
• Quality of portfolio and property gradingsThe portfolio is analysed and graded (A, B or C) by management on an ongoing basis, through the application of a rangeof criteria which measures not only the quality of the rental income, but also the physical attributes of the individual buildings.These attributes range from location, design flexibility, quality of improvements and future maintenance demands to longterm desirability and relevance. This grading process in turn informs the investment and disposal strategy of the Fund.

• Leasing analysis including lease expiries, lease expiry profile and tenant retentionsThe lease expiry profile of the portfolio depicts a steady and predictable turnover of leases in coming years, reflecting thediversified nature of the properties. The proportion of expired leases carried forward has reduced significantly over 2008,with meaningful progress made in finalising outstanding lease documentation by the property managers. In the currentchallenging economic environment, management perceive there to be some risk in the retail leases which are expiring in2009, particularly in respect of those with independent line shop tenants. This said, there is still rental uplift expected fromthe renewal of leases with the national retailers and particularly from the renewal of the leases in the industrial portfolio.
The lease expiry of the respective components of the property portfolio by area is as follows:
Property type Total area Vacant or 2009 2010 2011 2012 Thereafter(m2) expired (%) (%) (%) (%) (%) (%)
Retail 606 538 12 19 12 15 12 30Industrial 729 661 5 14 29 15 20 17Offices & other 86 803 2 11 30 21 13 23Total 1 423 002 7 16 22 15 16 24
The terms of approximately two thirds of these leases which have expired have been agreed and are subject to the furnishingof final documentation.
The 2009 retail lease expiries of 19% represent 114 000m2 of retail space. Approximately 25% of this space is in respectof units greater than 500m2 where there is a high probability of renewal and a reasonable prospect of upliftment on closingrentals. The balance, being smaller shops, carries greater risk both in terms of renewal and achievement of asking rentals.
18
As depicted above, vacancies in the Fund have increased in the last year and this has been experienced predominantly inthe retail portfolio, where the vacancy by area has increased from 4,0% at the end of 2007 to 6,1% at the 2008 year end.A large proportion of this increase has come about through the decision to refurbish a number of shopping centres orreconfigure existing space in order to attract strategic tenants. The centres currently undergoing such alterations areNorthpark Mall in Pretoria, Comaro Crossing in Johannesburg and St Georges Square in George. On completion of this work,management is confident that these vacancies will be significantly reduced.
The vacancies in the industrial portfolio have increased marginally, with these properties having been fully let at the endof 2007, and office vacancies have decreased marginally. Office vacancies are predominantly in the offices adjoined toshopping centres.

• Leasing analysis including lease expiries, lease expiry profile and tenant retentions (continued)The industrial expiries represent 98 000m2 and 213 000m2 of space in 2009 and 2010 respectively. Renewal terms in respectof a property comprising 35 000m2 have already been concluded with a resultant 25% increase on closing rentals.
Based on current market rental levels there is good probability of positive reversion on renewals given a current R31/m2
average gross rental in industrial leases expiring during 2009 and 2010.
The tenant retention ratios across the different sectors in 2008 are set out below. While there has been a slight decreasein retentions, particularly in the retail portfolio, these levels remain high and underscore the quality of the Fund's propertiesand the demand for the space.

Largest 5 vacancies:
• Investment in associate (Oryx Properties Limited)Oryx has performed in line with expectations and has shown a 7% increase in distributions in its latest results. Oryx's flagshipproperty is Maerua Mall, the only regional mall in Namibia. Maerua Mall has shown excellent trading statistics, with December2008 showing a 40% increase in turnover on 2007.
• Arrears, bad debt, provisions and provisioning methodologyDespite the deteriorating market conditions, arrears at R50,3 million were marginally down on the previous year (2007:R53,1 million). This was as a result of a strong focus on arrears management. During the year under review, bad debts ofR1,2 million were written off (2007: R4,4 million) while the impairment of debtors increased from R7,6 million to R16,1million. This equates to 36% of arrears, whereas in 2007 the impairment equated to 16% of arrear rentals. Arrears areimpaired on a line by line specific basis with no general impairments being made. The increase in the impairment is indicativeof the economic environment and the greater risk surrounding tenant default in this market. The fund is comfortable thatthe level is prudent and is taking cognisance of prevailing conditions.
PROSPECTS
Looking ahead to 2009 and beyond, the global environment is a significant risk to the local economy, although government infrastructurespend and expected lower inflation and interest rates should provide some support. The fundamentals of the property market will beimpacted by general economic conditions although the historically low vacancy levels across all sectors remains a positive factor.
Constraining the increase in vacancies is paramount and, given the value of lost rental that can be ascribed to the existing vacantspace, there is an opportunity to bolster property earnings with a concerted leasing effort. Management is of the view that the Fund'scurrent rentals continue to offer upside relative to market rentals and filling vacant space is an area of key focus.
The property portfolio is well positioned to deliver rental growth in line with current escalations and market expectations. The retailenvironment, however, remains a concern and this element of the portfolio will undoubtedly be impacted by any significant improvementor deterioration in trading conditions. Property earnings will be influenced by the performance of this key aspect of the economy.Based upon current indications, modest growth in distributions is expected.
Further growth will be influenced by the successful execution of the disposals strategy mentioned earlier and the appropriateredeployment of the capital realised.
• Vacancies and vacancy trends (continued)The overall vacancy factor is 3,5% of lettable space or 5,6% of total income (2007: 2,7% and 3,9% respectively) and isset out in detail below:

MANAGEMENT COMPANY
The Act requires that the Fund be managed by an approved and licensed Manco. In SA Corporate's case the Manco is SA CorporateReal Estate Fund Managers Limited which is owned 95% by Old Mutual Property Investments and 5% by the Durban Pension Fund.
PUTs are required to be listed on a licensed exchange which, in the case of SA Corporate, is the JSE. The JSE considers the board ofa PUT Manco to be the board of the Fund, which is the listed entity. The Manco Board and committee structure is set out in moredetail on pages 20 to 24 and 28 to 31.
The Manco is remunerated at 0,4% per annum of enterprise value (defined as market capitalisation plus debt, calculated daily), whichis low compared to the industry norm of 0,5%. In addition, a number of expenses which would be incurred by the Fund are incurredby the Manco, bringing this fee down to an effective 0,36% per annum.
For the past year the fee was R29,5 million (2007: R26,9 million). The increase was due to the larger fund size.

Risk report
The identification, assessment and management of risk is a key responsibility of the Board. In this process directors need to find abalance between minimising risk to acceptable levels and the costs and practicalities involved in achieving this.
Accordingly, the Board has developed and maintains a thorough understanding of the various risks facing the Group and ensures thatappropriate internal controls are in place to create a strong control environment to address key risk areas. The Board also continuouslysatisfies itself of the adequacy, accuracy and effectiveness of information distribution and reporting in the area of management andcontrols.
SA Corporate views risk management as the systematic process of understanding, measuring, controlling and communicating theorganisation's risk exposure to achieve its objectives. The activities involved in risk management consist of planning, organising, co-ordinating and managing a business environment that minimises the adverse impact of risk on the fund's activities, earnings and cashflows.
SA Corporate is primarily exposed to strategic and business risk, financial risk, regulatory and compliance risk and human resourcesrisk.
Strategic and business riskThis is the risk of not achieving critical objectives such as meeting stakeholder expectations and the impact of the environment onSA Corporate. SA Corporate regards the major strategic and business risks as the following:
• Inappropriate and inaccurate investment decisionsThe Group undertakes regular strategic analysis and planning, maintains a thorough market knowledge and carefully monitorspast performance and results. It also ensures that it employs competent service providers to assist in the management of theFund and its assets and adheres to its approval framework which limits the delegation of responsibilities to acceptable levels.Post acquisition reviews are performed and reported to Board and the Investment Committee.
• Portfolio riskThe portfolio composition and tenancy risk is managed through regular strategic analysis and planning, continuously keepingup to date with market movements and preferences and analysis of the tenant mix to best suit the property. Portfolio risk is alsoreduced by maintaining a portfolio that is adequately diversified across different regions of the country, sectors of the economyand in terms of the number of, and maximum exposure to tenants. Please refer to the property portfolio section on pages 74 to87 for more detailed information.
The current property market has increased the vacancy and rental level risk, particularly in the smaller retail properties. Tomitigate this in the short term, management are increasing the focus on retail leasing, carefully monitoring rental levels in orderto minimise vacancies and supporting tenants through specific initiatives. The Group is also in the process of disposing of a numberof properties to improve the portfolio composition and decrease the number of properties in the portfolio, which will furthermitigate this risk in the future.
• Capital risk managementThe risk is that the Group will not have access to capital and debt to grow assets at the opportune time. To mitigate this riskthe Group has a business planning process that runs on an annual cycle with regular updates and projections. It is through thisprocess, which includes risk and sensitivity analyses of forecasts and cash flows, that the Group's capital is managed.
The relative cost and availability of debt and equity funding are considered as a key part of all acquisition considerations. Thisrisk is closely linked to liquidity risk which is more fully dealt with later in this report.
The Fund's gearing capacity is limited to 30% of the total investment portfolio value. Recent approval by the Registrar of CollectiveInvestments provides for the gearing limit to be increased to 60%. To implement this change the Fund would need trustee andunitholder approval. The current gearing ratio is 17% with a target range of between 20% and 50%.
36
• Capital risk management (continued)In addition management ensures proper communication with investors and capital markets at all times. It also identifies andmaintains relationships with current and potential investors and funders and focuses on the timing and approach in capital raisingexercises to ensure that investors support the transaction.
Financial riskThis is the risk that changes in the financial environment will impact on the financial condition of the Group and comprises four maincategories:• Interest rate risk
The Group has a policy of limiting the negative impact of interest rate movements on cash flows and profits. It achieves thisthrough careful cash monitoring, maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate funding and interest rate swaps whenappropriate in a changing funding environment. Any debt in excess of 5% of the property portfolio is fixed to reduce interestrate risk to acceptable levels. This excludes the funding of developments in progress.
The Group has no exposure to interest rate risk on debt as at the date of this report as all funding liabilities have been fixedcontractually. Readers are also referred to page 67 in the notes to the annual financial statements for further details.
Interest rate risk also impacts interest received on cash held by the Group. Debt facilities were drawn down during the currentyear in advance of requirements in order to secure funding in view of the liquidity risk. Cash on hand at the year end is fullycommitted. The proceeds from disposals will generate further cash and management is monitoring all available investment optionsfor these proceeds.
• Liquidity riskThe Group has the responsibility to ensure that funds are available to settle obligations when they become due and to do thisat a reasonable cost. This is accomplished through cash flow monitoring and regularly assessing working capital requirements.It also constantly reviews funding alternatives, gearing levels and funding costs and maintains relationships with existing andpotential funders.
SA Corporate has low gearing by industry standards. Its debt as a percentage of the total investment portfolio value was aconservative 17% at 31 December 2008. The Group has the intention to increase the gearing to at least 20% over the mediumterm. The Group has access to financing facilities, the total unused amount of which was R200 million at the balance sheet date.Please refer to page 60 in the notes to the annual financial statements for further details.
There are no liabilities maturing which would require refinancing in the short term, with the first maturities only in 2012.

The fund has also negotiated a R200 million overdraft facility post year end to give it greater flexibility.
• Market riskMarket risk is the impact of changes in the economic and business environment. This risk directly impacts the value of theportfolio and financial instruments and indirectly impacts the Fund by the impact on tenants and funders. Market risk needs tobe managed to limit the impact on asset values, financial assets and liabilities and funding arrangements. The impact on tenantsis managed as part of the credit risk management process while the impact on funders is managed as part of the liquidity andinterest rate risk management processes.
Properties are valued twice per annum by external valuers and directors approve these valuations. Investors and financiers arekept informed of these valuations and the reasons for changes in the valuations. Debt gearing levels are maintained below theregulated limit to provide flexibility.
• Credit riskCredit risk is managed to limit the financial loss as a result of the default of a counterparty. The group is primarily exposed tocredit risk with respect to trade debtors and cash resources.
A large and diverse tenant base is maintained with thresholds and geographic and sectoral spreads within ranges agreed as partof investment strategy. Tenant creditworthiness is thoroughly assessed before leases are signed and, where possible, exposureto tenants is limited to acceptable levels of default risk and recovery of receivables. This is achieved through assessing tenants'business plans, performing credit checks and calling for deposits and sureties where required. An analysis of the grading of tenantsis included in the Management Company's Review on page 16.
Arrears are managed on an ongoing basis with appropriate action taken. Tenants over 60 days are handed over to attorneys,where appropriate and where suitable, tenants are rehabilitated through the implementation of payment plans. In addition, atenant support programme is being introduced to assist smaller tenants survive tougher economic times. The tenant approvalprocess referred to earlier under the credit risk section above, is an important risk mitigator in terms of managing bad debts.
Please refer to note 26 on page 69 in the annual financial statements for further information.
Cash is invested with reputable institutions in terms of pre-determined exposure limits. Exposure limits are assessed bi-annuallyand reviewed by the Risk, Audit & Compliance Committee.
Regulatory and compliance riskThis is the risk that the entity does not comply with all legal requirements.
The risk is managed through standard systems, controls and procedures with clearly defined responsibilities, checklists that arecontinuously verified and the appointment of skilled and experienced managers and asset managers. Compliance is monitored bythe Risk, Audit & Compliance Committee. The Board and its subcommittees also complete an annual checklist to monitor compliancewith the relevant charter, scope and responsibilities.
Human resources riskThis is the risk that key staff are not recruited/retained or that they are unable to meet expectations. This is an indirect risk for SACorporate as the Fund employs no staff and has contracted out all operational responsibilities. The risk is managed by ensuring thatsalaries are market related and that service providers maintain an adequate group of skilled staff to fulfill their responsibilities.

STAKEHOLDERS (continued)
Regulators and Industry bodiesSA Corporate operates in an environment that is highly regulated both by the JSE and the Financial Services Board. The Fund maintainshealthy relationships with its regulators, and has a longstanding reputation for upholding and promoting good corporate governanceand regulatory compliance. In addition, SA Corporate is a member of the Association of Property Unit Trusts.
EmployeesOld Mutual Property Investments employs all staff that are operationally responsible for the Fund and focuses on a strategic themeof “Right people, right place, right focus” by putting programmes in place that ensure the development of top management andleadership capability, cultivate a top performance and innovation culture, align incentives and ensure effective talent and retention.
SuppliersAs described previously, SA Corporate outsources its property and asset management to Old Mutual Property Investments, who areresponsible for the procurement of all major suppliers. Old Mutual Property Investments in conjunction with the Old Mutual Grouphas procurement policies in place that include, where practical, criteria addressing ethical, social and environmental impacts of thebusiness. Specific attention is paid to contracting with BBBEE partners.
EMPOWERMENT
The Board and management have long been committed to BBBEE with members of the Board sitting as representatives and foundermembers of the Property Sector Charter Council, which has been instrumental in developing and now aligning the PSC with the DTICodes of Good Practice.
SA Corporate's structure as a PUT makes it difficult for the Fund to obtain a DTI Code rating as its investment activities and spendare restricted by law, its shares are publicly traded on the JSE and it has no employees. Good progress has, however, been made inmeeting the requirements of the PSC and a rating will be sought after the PSC is gazetted as a Code.
Old Mutual is committed to broad-based empowerment and to being rated an “A” performer as measured by the Financial SectorCharter. Old Mutual Property Investments, the owner of the Fund's Manco, is itself rated as a level 4 contributor under the DTI Codesand has adopted programmes to improve this rating to a level 3 in its next assessment.
Acknowledging its responsibility, albeit with enforced legislative and regulatory limitations, the Fund has directly committed to thefollowing as part of its BBBEE programme:
OwnershipDuring 2007, a 11% equity stake in the Fund was purchased by the Wipken Trust, a partnership between Wiphold and KensaniProperties. Unfortunately, due to the Fund's lower unit price and a resultant breach of funding covenants, the ownership of the WipkenTrust transferred from the Fund's BBBEE parties to the funders of the Trust. Efforts to secure significant BBBEE ownership in the Fundare challenging under the current funding environment and legislation which prohibits the Fund from providing financial assistance.
Management controlThe Board composition as detailed on pages 20 to 24 reflects the diverse demographics of our country and is aligned with the DTICode requirements.

Theresults of subsidiaries are included from the effective dates of gaining control and up to the effective dates of relinquishingcontrol. All inter-entity transactions and balances between group entities are eliminated except for capitalised interest referredto in note 4.6, which forms part of the income earned by and distributed in full by the Fund.
The accounting policies of the subsidiaries are consistent with those of the Fund.
4.2 BUSINESS COMBINATIONSThe purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of an acquisitionis measured as the aggregate of the fair value of the underlying assets acquired, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurredor assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilitiesand contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.The excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recordedas goodwill. Goodwill is not amortised and is tested for impairment on an annual basis.
If the cost of the acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recogniseddirectly in the income statement. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. On disposalof a subsidiary, attributable goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.
4.3 INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARIESInvestments in subsidiary companies, including fixed property companies, are revalued to fair value at each reporting date.Surpluses or deficits on revaluation or disposal are reflected in the income statement and transferred to capital in the statementof changes in unitholders' funds.
A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 851
4.4 INVESTMENT PROPERTIESInvestment properties are properties held to earn rentals and appreciate in capital value. Investment properties are initiallyrecognised at cost, including transaction costs on acquisition, and are stated at their fair value at each reporting date. Thesefair values of property exclude accrued operating lease income. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values arereflected in the income statement in the year in which they arise and are transferred to capital in the statement of changes inunitholders' funds. Land and buildings are not depreciated.
Properties purchased by the Group and settled by the issuing of units are recorded at the fair value of the properties acquired,unless that fair value cannot be reliably measured, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the units granted interms of IFRS 2: Share Based Payments. This excludes purchases of properties which are regarded as business combinationsas described in note 4.2.
New buildings that are acquired and developed for future use as investment property are carried at cost. Existing investmentproperty that is redeveloped for continued future use as investment property is carried at fair value.
Properties held under long term operating leases are classified and accounted for as investment properties. These properties areidentified in the property portfolio on pages 74 to 87 of this report.
4.5 INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATESAssociates are those companies, which are not subsidiaries or joint ventures, over which the Group exercises significant influence.Results of associates are accounted for in the Group using the equity method of accounting except when the investment isclassified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for under IFRS 5: Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and DiscontinuedOperations. Any losses of associates are brought to account until the investment in and loans to such associates are writtendown to a nominal amount. Thereafter losses are accounted for only insofar as the Group is committed to providing financialsupport to such associates. The carrying value of investments in associates represents the cost of each investment includingunimpaired goodwill, the share of post acquisition retained earnings and losses and the movements in reserves. Equity accountedincome represents the Group's proportionate share of the associate's post-acquisition accumulated profit after accounting fordistributions declared by the associates. Any significant movements between the year end of associates and the Group areaccounted for. Where a Group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extentof the Group's interest in the associate.
In the Fund the investment in the associate is held at cost in accordance with IAS 27.
4.6 BORROWING COSTSWhere a fixed property company undertakes a major development or refurbishment of its property, interest is capitalised tothe cost of the property concerned during the construction period and is treated as income in the Fund. Where a property, ownedby the Fund, undertakes a major development or refurbishment interest is capitalised to the extent that it is directly incurredin the course of development.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
4.7 ASSETS HELD FOR SALEProperties which have been earmarked for sale and have met the recognition criteria in terms of IFRS 5 are classified as currentassets held for sale and are measured at their fair value.
4.8 TAXATIONThe Fund is treated as a trust for income taxation purposes and no liability for taxation arises on its profits to the extent thatit is distributed by the Fund. The Fund's capital profit is exempt from capital gains taxation.
The fixed property companies are subject to taxation. For these companies the income tax expense comprises the sum of currenttaxation payable, secondary taxation on companies and deferred taxation. Taxable profit differs from accounting profit as itexcludes income or expenses that are taxable or deductible in other years and it excludes items never deductible or taxable.

Notes To The Annual Financial Statements (continued)
for the year ended 31 December 2008
4.8 TAXATION (continued)Deferred taxation is provided for using the balance sheet liability method based on temporary differences. Temporary differencesare differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their taxation bases.Deferred taxation is charged to the income statement except to the extent that it relates to a transaction that is recogniseddirectly in equity, or a business combination that is an acquisition. A deferred taxation asset is recognised to the extent that itis probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the associated unused tax losses and deductible temporarydifferences can be utilised. Deferred taxation assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related taxbenefit will be realised.
Deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences arise from goodwill, or from the initialrecognition (other than business combinations) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction which affects neither the taxableprofit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred taxation is raised in the fixed property companies at the current tax rate on all temporary differences, including thosearising from the revaluation of the building portion of properties, other than those held for sale. Deferred taxation is raised inthe fixed property companies at the capital gains tax rate on the revaluation of the land portion of properties or on the entirerevaluation when a property is earmarked for future sale.
4.9 IMPAIRMENT (EXCLUDING GOODWILL)The carrying amount of the Group's assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indicationof impairment. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverableamount, which is the higher of an asset's net selling price and value in use. Whenever an impairment loss is subsequentlyreversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed theoriginal carrying amount. A reversal of impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
4.10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSA financial asset or financial liability is recognised for as long as the Group is party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
4.10.1 Non-derivative financial instrumentsNon-derivative financial instruments recognised on the balance sheet include cash and cash equivalents, trade and otherreceivables, straight line rental adjustment, investments, unitholders' funds, interest bearing borrowings and trade payables.
a. Financial assets
i. Initial recognitionFinancial assets are initially measured at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit and loss, anydirectly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measuredas described below.
Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: 'at fair value through profit or loss', 'held tomaturity' investments, 'available for sale' and 'loans and receivables'. The classification depends on the nature andpurpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.
ii. Financial assets at fair value through profit or lossA financial asset is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading or is designated as such uponinitial recognition.
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:• it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future; or• it is a part of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or• it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 853
4.10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at fair value through profit or lossupon initial recognition if:• such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or• the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group's documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or• it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
Investments in fixed property companies and in the associate company have been designated as at fair value throughprofit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised inprofit or loss.
iii. Held-to-maturity investmentsBills of exchange and debentures with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates that the Group has thepositive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity investments.
Held-to-maturity investments are recorded at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairmentlosses.
iv. Available for sale financial assetsThe Group does not currently have any available for sale financial assets. Gains and losses arising from changes in fairvalue of available for sale financial assets, other than impairment losses, are recognised directly in equity. Where theinvestment is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is transferred to profit or loss.
v. Loans and receivablesTrade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in anactive market are classified as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using theeffective interest method, less any impairment.
vi. Derecognition of financial assetsThe Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire; orit transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. Ifthe Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to controlthe transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts itmay have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset,the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceedsreceived.
b. Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities.
i. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or lossFinancial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss where the financial liability is either held for tradingor it is designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

for the year ended 31 December 2008
4.10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)ii. Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interestexpense recognised on an effective yield basis.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interestexpense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cashpayments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
iii. Derecognition of financial liabilitiesThe Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group's obligations are discharged, cancelled orthey expire.
4.10.2 Derivative financial instrumentsThe Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk exposures.
Changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument designated as a cash flow hedge are recognised directly inequity to the extent that the hedge is effective. The ineffective portion of any gain or loss is recognised immediately in theincome statement.
If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised thenhedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity remains thereuntil the forecast transaction occurs. When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount recognised in equity istransferred to the carrying amount of the asset when it is recognised. In other cases the amount recognised in equity istransferred to profit or loss in the same period that the hedged items affects profit or loss.
The fair value of the interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the Group would receive or pay to terminate the swapat the balance sheet date, taking into account current interest rates and the current credit worthiness of the swap counterparties.
4.11 PROVISIONSProvisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, for which itis probable that an outflow of economic benefits will occur, and where a reliable estimate can be made on the settlement amountof the obligation.
4.12 REVENUE RECOGNITIONRevenue comprises gross rental income, including all recoveries from tenants. Variable operating cost recoveries are recognisedon the accrual basis. Rental income and fixed operating costs recoveries are recognised on the straight line basis in accordancewith IAS 17: Leases.
Interest income is recognised at the effective rates of interest on a time related basis.
Dividends are recognised when the right to receive them is established.
4.13 LEASESInvestment properties leased out under operating leases are reflected as investment properties on the balance sheet. Wherethere are fixed increments in rental, the income is recognised on a straight line basis in terms of IAS 17: Leases.
4.14 DEFERRED EXPENSESDeferred expenses comprise tenant installation costs and letting commissions which are amortised on a straight line basis overthe lease period to which they relate. These are currently included in accounts receivable due to the immaterial size thereof.

4.15 DISTRIBUTIONSIn terms of the Collective Investment Schemes Act, No. 45 of 2002 the Fund is obliged to distribute to its unitholders all netrevenue profit earned and received.
4.16 SEGMENT REPORTINGOn a primary basis the Group operates in the following segments:• Retail• Industrial• Offices & other
On a secondary basis the Group reports on geographic locations as follows:• Gauteng• KwaZulu Natal• Western Cape• Other
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience as adjusted for current marketconditions and other factors.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition,seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates or assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustmentto the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
(a) Estimate of the fair value of investment propertiesThe best evidence of fair value is current prices in an active market for similar leases and other contracts. In the absence of such information, the Group determines the amount within a range of reasonable fair value estimates. In making its judgement the Group considers information from a variety of sources including:
1. Current prices in an active market for properties of different nature, condition or location (or subject to different lease or other contracts), adjusted to reflect those differences;
2. Recent prices of similar properties in less active markets, with adjustments to reflect any changes in economic conditions since the date of the transactions that occurred at those prices; and
3. Discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates of future cash flows, derived from the termsof any existing leases and other contracts and (where possible) from external evidence such as currentmarket rents for similar properties in the same location and condition, and using discount rates that reflect current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and timing of the cash flows.
Principal assumptions of management's estimation of fair valueIf information on current or recent prices is not available, the fair values of investment properties are determined usingdiscounted cash flow valuation techniques. The Group used assumptions that are mainly based on market conditionsexisting at each balance sheet date.
The principal assumptions underlying management's estimation of fair value are those related to:The receipt of contracted rentals, expected future market rentals, maintenance requirements and appropriate discountand capitalisation rates. These valuations are regularly compared to actual market yield data, actual transactions by the Group and those reported by the market.
The expected future market rentals are determined with reference to current market rentals for similar properties in the same location and condition.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (continued)
(b) Deferred taxationDeferred taxation is provided on the revaluation of properties owned by fixed property companies at the current incometax rate on the building portion of the property and at the capital gains tax rate on the land portion of property or where a property has been ear-marked for future sale.
The split between the land and building values was determined by independent valuers. (2007: Municipal values wereused to determine the split between the land and building values. Based on the portfolio on average 75% of the revaluation related to the buildings and 25% to the land.)
(c) Goodwill impairment assessmentGoodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, by comparing the carrying value of the underlying investment to a valuation of the underlying investment. The valuation is based on the underlying investment one year forward forecast income capitalised at the SA Corporate historic yield adjusted for growth at the time of doing the assessment(2007: J253 adjusted for growth).
6. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND IFRIC INTERPRETATIONS
Certain new additional accounting standards and IFRIC interpretations have been published that are applicable for futureaccounting periods. These new standards and interpretations have not been early adopted by the Group. The directors do notexpect that the adoption of the standards and interpretations will have a material impact on future financial statements. Thestandards and interpretations in issue, but not yet effective, that are relevant to the Group are:IFRS 2 (Revised 2008): Share based payments (effective 1 January 2009)IFRS 3 (Revised 2008): Business combinations (effective 1 July 2009)IFRS 8: Operating Segments (effective 1 January 2009)IAS 1: Presentation of financial statements (effective 1 January 2009)IAS 23: Borrowing costs (effective 1 January 2009)IAS 28: Investments in Associates (effective 1 July 2009)IAS 39: Financial Instruments (effective 1 July 2009)

The acquisition of SA Retail resulted in the recognition of goodwill.Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Thecarrying value of goodwill was assessed for impairment at31 December 2008, by comparing the carrying value of the investmentin SA Retail to a valuation based on SA Retail's one year forecast incomecapitalised at the SA Corporate historical yield adjusted for growth(2007: J253 adjusted for growth).
12. PROPERTIES CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR DISPOSAL
The Group has embarked on a disposal strategy to improve the qualityof the portfolio and earnings. As part of this strategy, the smallerproperties within the portfolio will be realised with the objective ofmaintaining a portfolio of not more than 150 properties in order toimprove management focus. Another objective is to reduce theweighting to smaller retail centres and a number of these propertiestogether with other non-core assets have been identified for sale.Properties identified for disposal are detailed on pages 74 to 87 of thisreport.
Several sale agreements have already been concluded, some ofwhich are now unconditional with others pending the fulfilmentof suspensive conditions.
The assets and liabilities held for sale are as follows:

26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group is exposed to strategic and business risk, financial risk, regulatory and compliance risk and human resources risk which aremore fully described in the risk report on pages 35 to 37.
This note deals with certain financial analyses relating to the financial risks.
Capital risk managementCapital is actively managed to ensure that the Group is properly capitalised and funded at all times, having regard to its regulatoryneeds, prudent management and the needs of its stakeholders.
The Group has a business planning process that runs on an annual cycle with regular updates to projections. It is through this process,which includes risk and sensitivity analyses of forecasts, that the Group's capital is managed. Specifically, the Group has adopted thefollowing capital management policies:• Maintenance, as a minimum, of capital sufficient to meet the statutory requirements and such additional capital as management believes is necessary.• Maintenance of an appropriate level of liquidity at all times. The Group further ensures that it can meet its expected capital and financing needs at all times, having regard to the business plans, forecasts and any strategic initiatives.
The Group has both qualitative and quantitative risk management procedures to monitor the key risks and sensitivities of the business.This is achieved through scenario analyses and risk assessments. From an understanding of the principal risks, appropriate risk limitsand controls are defined.
Gearing ratioThe Group's investment committee reviews the capital structure on a quarterly basis. As part of this review, the committee considersthe cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The Group's borrowing capacity is limited to 30% of the totalinvestment portfolio value in terms of the Trust Deed and 60% in terms of the Collective Investment Schemes Control Act, No. 45 of2002. The Group's current borrowings amount to 17% of its total investment portfolio. The Group has a target debt to total investmentportfolio ratio of 20%.
The debt to total investment portfolio ratio at the year end was as follows:Group Fund
2008 2007 2008 2007 R000 R000 R000 R000
Debt (before effective interest rate adjustment) 1 570 000 667 960 1 570 000 667 702Total investment portfolio* 9 004 833 8 638 219 8 746 475 9 322 961Gearing ratio 17% 8% 18% 7%
*Total investment portfolio includes investment property (at valuation), property under development, properties classified as held for disposal, investment in fixed property companies and investment in associate.
Financial risk management objectivesIn the normal course of operations, the Group is exposed to interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. In order to manage theserisks, the Group may enter into transactions which make use of derivatives. The Group does not speculate in or engage in the tradingof derivative instruments.
Interest rate risk managementInterest rate movements impact on the net cost of the Group's short term cash investments and interest bearing borrowings. The riskis managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings, monitoring cash flows andinvesting surplus cash at negotiated rates. The Group enters into interest rate swap contracts, from time to time, for the purposes ofcash flow hedging.
It is the Group's policy that all debt above 5% of the property portfolio value be fixed to reduce the interest rate risk to acceptable levels.This excludes the funding of developments in progress that will be ring-fenced in order to comply with the accounting requirements forcapitalising interest.

26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding at balance sheet date was outstandingfor the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personneland represents management's assessment of the reasonable possible change in interest rates.
The Group has no sensitivity to interest rates on debt as all debt is either fixed or covered by interest rate swaps. (2007: A 50 basispoint change, on the assumption that the year end debt was in place for the entire year, would decrease the Group's net profit for theyear by R340 000 and decrease the Fund's net profit for the year by R339 000).
The Group's sensitivity to a 50 basis point interest rate change on cash balances, would increase the Group's net profit for the year byR2 215 000 (2007:R324 000) and the Fund's net profit by R2 122 000 (2007: R179 000), if the closing cash balance was in place forthe entire year.
Credit risk managementCredit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. Themaximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet. The maximumexposure to credit risk at the end of the year was:

Credit risk with regard to trade and other receivables, and the straight line rental adjustment is limited due to the large and diversetenant base, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas.
Credit risk attached to the Group's cash resources is minimised by its cash resources being placed with several financial institutions ofhigh credit standing, in terms of pre-determined exposure limits. Exposure limits are assessed bi-annually and reviewed by the risk,audit & compliance committee.
The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single tenant counterparty. The top 20 tenants by rentable areaare set out on page 17 of this report.

26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Fair value of financial instrumentsThe fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:• the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets is
determined with reference to quoted market prices;• the fair value of other financial assets and liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) is determined in accordance with generally
accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices from observable current market transactions and dealerquotes for similar instruments;
• the fair value of derivative instruments is calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices are not available, use is made of discounted cash flow analysis using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the instruments for non-optional derivatives and option pricing models for optional derivatives; and
• Interest rate swaps are measured at the present value of future cash flows estimated and discounted based on the applicable yieldcurves derived from quoted interest rates.

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 thefinancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevantto the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An auditalso includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made bythe directors, 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.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements provide information about the financial position, results of operations and changes in financial positionof the Company. They have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. The accountingpolicies applied have been consistently applied to all years presented. The Company's functional and presentation currency isSouth African Rands.
The principal accounting policies are set out below:
3.1 INVESTMENTSThe Company's investments are initially recognised at cost and are stated at fair value at each reporting date. Gains or lossesarising from changes in the fair value or disposal are reflected in the income statement in the year in which they arise. Gainsnet of taxes are transferred to a non-distributable reserve in the statement of changes in equity. Losses net of taxes aretransferred to a non-distributable reserve to the extent that the decrease does not exceed the amount held in the non-distributablereserve.
3.2 TAXATIONIncome tax charge for the year comprises current and deferred tax, and secondary tax on companies. Income tax is recognisedin the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity. Current tax is the expectedtax payable on the taxable income for the year and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred taxationis provided for using the balance sheet liability method, based on temporary differences. Temporary differences are differencesbetween the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax base. The amount of deferredtaxation provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities.Deferred taxation is charged to the income statement except to the extent that it relates to a transaction that is recogniseddirectly in equity. The effect on deferred taxation of any changes in tax rates is recognised in the income statement, except tothe extent that it relates to items previously charged or credited directly to equity. Deferred tax liability is not recognised ontemporary differences that arise from the initial recognition of goodwill, initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transactionthat is not a business combination which, at the time of transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profit or loss;and temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures where the timing of thereversal of the temporary differences can be controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary differences willnot reverse in the foreseeable future. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxableincome will be available, against which the unutilised tax losses and deductible temporary differences can be used. Deferredtax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realised. Additional incometaxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividendis recognised.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
3.3 IMPAIRMENTThe Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group offinancial assets, excluding financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, is impaired. An impairment loss is recognised inprofit or loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of an asset's netselling price and value in use. Whenever an impairment loss is subsequently reversed (except for goodwill), the carrying amountof the asset is increased to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the original carrying amount. Areversal of impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
3.4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFinancial instruments are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the particular instrument.
Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and deposits held on call with banks.
Trade and other receivablesTrade and other receivables originated by the Company are held at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method,after deducting accumulated impairment losses. Receivables with no fixed maturity are held at cost.
InvestmentsInvestments are initially recognised at cost, including directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognitionthese instruments are measured as follows:Held-to-maturity investments are held at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method after deducting accumulatedimpairment losses.At fair value through profit or loss and available for sale investments are held at fair value. Gains or losses are recognised innet profit for the year.
Financial liabilities and equityFinancial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified according to the substance of the contractualarrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect theapplication of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differfrom these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised inthe year in which the estimate is revised and in any future years affected. There are no estimates or assumptions that have asignificant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
5. NEW ACCOUNTING STATEMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS THEREOF
No standards, amendments to standards, or interpretations effective for the first time in the current accounting year are relevantto the Company.

18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)2008 2007
Credit risk R000 R000Credit risk is the risk that an asset, in the form of a monetary claim against acounterparty, may not result in a cash receipt (or equivalent) in accordance withthe terms of a contract. The credit risk attached to the Company's cash depositsis minimised by its cash deposits only being placed with reputable financial institutions.Credit risk with respect to trade and receivables is limited in view of all fee incomebeing received from a JSE listed Collective Investment Scheme in Property whichis restricted to a maximum debt level of 30% of the asset value and the fact thatthe Company is responsible for the management of this entity.
All trade receivables are current and unsecured. No impairment is considerednecessary and no amounts have been provided for or written off (2007: nil).
Trade and other receivables 4 647 3 185Cash and cash equivalents 2 778 3 589
7 425 6 774
Interest rate riskInterest rate risk is the risk that fluctuating interest rates will unfavourably affectthe Company's earnings and the value of its assets, liabilities and equity. Theexposure to interest rate risk is limited to cash resources and is managed throughmonitoring cash flows and investing surplus cash at negotiated rates which enablesthe Company to maximise returns while minimising risks.
Cash and cash equivalents 2 778 3 589
Due to the relatively low cash and cash equivalents balances, a change in theinterest rates would not have a significant impact on the operating results of theCompany.
Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that cash may not be available to pay obligations when dueat a reasonable cost. The Company proactively manages its liquidity risk by regularlyassessing cash requirements and monitoring cash flows, whilst ensuring surpluscash is invested in a manner to achieve maximum returns. The Company alsocomplies with the capital adequacy requirements of the Collective InvestmentSchemes Control Act and reports to the Financial Services Board monthly in thisregard.

18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)2008 2007R000 R000
Price riskPrice risk arises from the risk of an adverse effect on the carrying value of theCompany's investment resulting from fluctuations in the quoted price of the equity.The Company only has an investment in the Collective Investment Scheme managedby it.
Investment in property fund units 3 127 4 810
A 10% movement in the value of the quoted price of the units would result in aR312 700 (2007: R481 000) change to the surplus on revaluation of investmentsand investment value.
