Forecast cost is R182 million at a 7% yield and is expected to be completed by September 2015. Boulders Shopping Centre The initiative to expand the centre’s GLA by 7 219m 2 , including a new 3 500m 2 grocery anchor tenant on the lower level, and much improved vertical circulation is projected to cost R221 million a reduction on the initial estimate cost of R262 million. The yield will remain at 7,3%. Work is due to commence in the second half of the financial year and be completed by September 2015. Other developments and capital expenditures A number of other major projects are under consideration including Brightwater Commons in Randburg and the conversion of the AMR Office Park in Bedfordview into a college campus. 5.

The Southgate Mall and Southgate Value Mart are pending transfer and Westgate Shopping Centre is pending Competition Authority approval.

There is interest from prospective tenants at Jupiter Park and negotiations are currently underway. 9. PROSPECTS Fountainhead expects to produce growth of 7% to 8% in income distributions from its current portfolio in the 12 months to 31 August 2014 compared with the annualised distribution for 11 months of 54,5 cents to 31 August 2013. The forecast has not been reviewed or reported on by Fountainhead’s auditor. 10. STRATEGY Fountainhead has made meaningful progress on improving the quality of its portfolio through developments, acquisitions and planned disposals of non-core properties in 2014. While the Trust will retain its emphasis on large retail assets, it will also pursue investments in other sectors where it is able to identify high quality growing income such as the Robor industrial property. Fountainhead benefits from considerable alignment with and support from its majority unitholder Redefine Properties Limited. 11. SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN UNITHOLDING During the period Redefine Properties Limited increased its unitholding in the Trust to 65,9% of the units in issue. 12. CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Mr Aaron Suckerman has resigned as Financial Director of Fountainhead with effect from 11 April 2014, subject to approval by the Financial Services Board. The board has embarked on a process to appoint a suitable replacement. 13.

4. MAJOR CAPITAL PROJECTS Several major development and capital expenditure projects totalling over R1 billion have been

approved and are aimed at improving asset quality and sustainable long-term income growth.

Bryanston Shopping Centre Elements of the significant refurbishment and extension such as an additional 192 parking bays

have been completed with the remainder of the project, including a 2 000m2 Checkers extension, due to be completed by July 2014. Additional improvements have increased capital cost from R94 million to R104 million with the incremental yield remaining at 5,2%.

Centurion Mall An upgrade and expansion of 3 500m2 costing R189 million in various phases is due to commence

in April 2014 at an estimated aggregated yield of 8%.

Kenilworth Centre Refurbishments to improve sections of the parking deck are underway and are due to be

completed by July 2014 at a cost of R21,5 million, a saving on the original budget of R24,2 million. There is a strong retailer demand for the additional lettable area of 4 630m2 over two levels. The project includes 142 additional parking bays and improvement to internal and external circulation. Forecast cost is R182 million at a 7% yield and is expected to be completed by September 2015.

Boulders Shopping Centre The initiative to expand the centre’s GLA by 7 219m2, including a new 3 500m2 grocery anchor

tenant on the lower level, and much improved vertical circulation is projected to cost R221 million a reduction on the initial estimate cost of R262 million. The yield will remain at 7,3%. Work is due to commence in the second half of the financial year and be completed by September 2015.

Other developments and capital expenditures A number of other major projects are under consideration including Brightwater Commons in

Randburg and the conversion of the AMR Office Park in Bedfordview into a college campus.

5. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS During the period, The Trust purchased and took transfer of the CIB Building in Bedfordview for

R159 million at an initial yield of 8,2%.

The Trust entered into a sale and leaseback agreement with Robor Proprietary Limited (“Robor”) in terms of which The Trust will acquire, from Robor, the property situated at 233 Barbara Road, Elandsfontein for R570,7 million, payable in cash. The acquisition is at an initial yield of 8,5% with an initial lease period of 10 years escalating at 8% per annum, commencing on transfer of the property.

In addition, the Trust made a strategic acquisition of the headlease over the motor dealership adjacent to its Kenilworth Centre for R34,7 million at an estimated initial yield of 10% effective from 1 April 2014.

The acquisitions are in line with Fountainhead’s strategy to acquire large, quality assets with sustainable income growth and a low risk profile.

Sale agreements were entered into for the disposal of the Trust’s undivided share in Westgate Shopping Centre, Southgate Mall and Southgate Value Mart for an aggregate consideration of R945 million. The Southgate Mall and Southgate Value Mart are pending transfer and Westgate Shopping Centre is pending Competition Authority approval.

Proceeds from the disposals will be used to fund acquisition and development activity.

Vacancy levels in terms of rentable area were as follows:

The retail vacancies were 3,8% of which 0,9% relates to Brightwater Commons and Dekema Mall. A redevelopment of the Brightwater Commons is under consideration and Dekema Mall has been identified for sale.

Office vacancies within the Centurion Mall precinct amounting to 22 061m2 of GLA account for over 60% of the total office vacancy of 19,7%. 7 763m2 was vacated at Lakeside A during the period and 12 519m2 at Die Anker is vacant. A number of initiatives are in progress to address both vacancies. Historically high vacancies at Grayston Ridge Office Park have been reduced from 55,4% as at 31 March 2013 to 38,5% as at 28 February 2014. Vacancies at AMR Office Park, equating to 2 311m2 of GLA are considered strategic due to the plan to convert the entire property into a college campus.

The Industrial vacancies of 13,5% relate primarily to Jupiter Park, Supreme Industrial Park and the Jet Park mini-units. The vacancy at Jupiter Park accounts for 47% of the total industrial vacancy. There is interest from prospective tenants at Jupiter Park and negotiations are currently underway.

9. PROSPECTS Fountainhead expects to produce growth of 7% to 8% in income distributions from its current

portfolio in the 12 months to 31 August 2014 compared with the annualised distribution for 11 months of 54,5 cents to 31 August 2013. The forecast has not been reviewed or reported on by Fountainhead’s auditor.

10. STRATEGY Fountainhead has made meaningful progress on improving the quality of its portfolio through

developments, acquisitions and planned disposals of non-core properties in 2014. While the Trust will retain its emphasis on large retail assets, it will also pursue investments in other sectors where it is able to identify high quality growing income such as the Robor industrial property.

Fountainhead benefits from considerable alignment with and support from its majority unitholder Redefine Properties Limited.

11. SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN UNITHOLDING During the period Redefine Properties Limited increased its unitholding in the Trust to 65,9% of the

units in issue.

12. CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Mr Aaron Suckerman has resigned as Financial Director of Fountainhead with effect from

11 April 2014, subject to approval by the Financial Services Board. The board has embarked on a process to appoint a suitable replacement.

13. INCOME DISTRIBUTION ANNOUNCEMENT Notice is hereby given of distribution no. 62 of 29 cents per unit for the 6 months ended

28 February 2014.
