Madison Property Fund Managers Holdings Limited (“Madison”),
with its operating subsidiary Madison Property Fund Managers
Limited (“Opco”), is the only property asset manager listed on
the JSE Limited. Madison is listed in the Real Estate Holdings and
Development sub-sector of the main board and is represented by
the JSE code “MDN”.
Madison is structured in the same way as a listed property loan
stock company – with linked units each comprising one share
in Madison indivisibly linked to one unsecured variable rate
debenture in Opco.
Madison has BEE participation from KwaZulu-Natal based
investment company Clearwater Capital (Proprietary) Limited
(“Clearwater”) which owns 9,6% of the total number of linked units
in issue.
The asset management of three leading listed property funds –
ApexHi Properties Limited (“ApexHi”), Hyprop Investments Limited
(“Hyprop”) and Redefine Income Fund Limited (“Redefine”)
- contributes 68% of Madison’s income. In addition to its asset
management income, Madison earns development fees, leasing
commissions and transaction and consulting fees.
Madison distributes 100% of its net operating income in the form
of interest on debentures, calculated on the basis set out in the
Debenture Trust Deed, subject to a maximum annual interest rate
of prime plus 10% on the face value of each debenture. Madison
declares distributions for the six month periods to 30 June and
31 December of each financial year.

Executive directors’ review
IntroductionMadison’s sound business principles and the strong underlying
property fundamentals experienced during the 2007 year
generated robust performance for the listed property funds under
Madison’s management. ApexHi, Hyprop and Redefine were
ranked within the top quartile of the sector in terms of income
growth, while Madison reported excellent distribution growth,
30% higher than its annualised maiden distribution for the 2006
financial year.
OverviewSignificant factors which influenced the listed property sector
in 2007 included the introduction of the National Credit Act as
well as interest rate increases of 200 basis points following the
200 basis point increases in 2006. This resulted in reduced
consumer spending and increased inflation. Infrastructure spend
by government, on projects such as the Gautrain and the 2010
Fifa World Cup, placed a strain on capital project resources and
increased pressure on the viability of new property developments.
On the positive side, strong demand by tenants, coupled with a
shortage in the supply of space, contributed to increased rentals.
Market volatility resulted in a yield shift and a consequential
decrease in listed property unit prices. Opportunities for
acquisitions and corporate action are emerging.
The electricity crisis being experienced in South Africa, combined
with other economic pressures will impact on turnovers of tenants,
restraining rather than contracting growth. Initiatives are being
implemented to ensure electricity backup in all the retail and
commercial properties asset managed by Madison. The availability
of power has been confirmed for the majority of developments
project managed by Madison.
The National Treasury’s publication of a discussion paper entitled
“Reforming the Listed Property Investment Sector” has formally
set the wheels in motion for a best-of-breed REIT structure to
be introduced in South Africa. In principle, Madison supports the
representations which have been made by the sector on the draft
paper and will be monitoring the progress of this process.
Financial ResultsMadison’s total distribution of 76 cents per linked unit for the year
ended 31 December 2007 was 30% higher than the annualised
maiden distribution of 39 cents per linked unit for 2006. The
total capital and income return to Madison’s linked unitholders
amounted to 53% for the year.
Management fees earned by Madison are based on enterprise
values, which comprise market capitalisation plus debt of each
fund. In a volatile market, in which linked unit prices fluctuate,
the debt, which comprises 20% of combined enterprise value, is
a stabilising factor. Madison’s development and leasing divisions
made a meaningful contribution to the positive performance
during the year.

Asset management
Asset management objectives are usually straightforward —
increase income, let vacant space, control expenses and add
value – yet the means of achieving these requires innovation
and precise timing with implementation in unison with the
property cycle at any point in time. With rental escalations of
8% per annum on average across South Africa’s commercial
property sectors, only effective asset management can ensure
income growth in excess of this figure. This has been achieved by
Madison for each of its funds under management.
Strict investment criteria, vital to the successful performance
of any property company, have been applied in order to ensure
the acquisition of quality property assets at competitive prices.
Effective interest rate management has been achieved and Madison
has successfully implemented BEE transactions for all of its listed
funds.
One of the advantages of outsourced asset management is access
to services and expertise that a single fund would otherwise not
be able to attract or afford. In this regard, Madison’s funds under
management benefit from some of the leading property minds
in South Africa. Included amongst these is Mike Lewin who has
a wealth of knowledge and experience gained from 22 years in
the retail sector, 18 as property executive of Edcon. In his position
as Madison group retail director, Mike will enhance Madison’s
retail asset management team and his responsibilities will include
overseeing and adding value to existing retail properties and new
developments for ApexHi, Hyprop and Redefine.

Redefine Income Fund Limited Redefine has a spread of premium fixed property in prime locations
as well as investments in selected listed property securities.
Redefine distributed 51,25 cents per linked unit for the year ended

The market value of Redefine’s listed property securities portfolio
at 31 August 2007 was R4,075 billion. The portfolio includes, inter
alia, significant strategic holdings in Hyprop and ApexHi and 25,1%
of Coronation International Real Estate Fund, listed on the London
Stock Exchange’s AIM.
In November 2007, Redefine issued 80 million linked units at
R6.85 per unit to a selection of broad-based BEE entities.
Development of several commercial properties is in progress
including Convention Tower, Foreshore, Cape Town.97Increase of 97% in market capitalisation for the year to 31 August 2007

Corovest Fund Managers Limited (“Corovest”) Madison purchased a 40% interest in Corovest (registered in the
British Virgin Isles), the management company of CIREF Limited,
for R100,15 million, effective 1 July 2007. Madison issued
11 128 000 linked units, at a price of 875 cents per unit, to
fund the acquisition of its interest in Corovest. The balance of
the purchase price of R2,78 million was paid in cash. Income
from Madison’s strategic investment in Corovest is expected
to contribute significantly to future income based on expected
growth in CIREF by way of acquisitions and developments in the
UK and Europe. CIREF is listed on the London Stock Exchange AIM
and has a market capitalisation of £107 million.
Property Index Tracker Managers (“PropTrax”) Madison acquired 50% of PropTrax which is the manager of
the Property Index Tracker Collective Investment Scheme in
Securities, an exchange traded fund which tracks the performance
of the FTSE/JSE SAPY index. PropTrax was listed on the
JSE Limited on 25 September 2007. Development Madison’s development teams, based in Johannesburg and
Cape Town, are managed and staffed by skilled and experienced
executives who are responsible for overseeing developments
undertaken on behalf of ApexHi, Hyprop and Redefine, and New
York-based international group, Lehman Brothers.
25 projects valued at R3 billion are currently being undertaken, of
which R1,5 billion is scheduled for completion during 2008.
Leasing Madison’s leasing division interfaces with property brokers in
South Africa and directly with prospective tenants to ensure the
successful leasing of vacant space in existing developments, new
developments and expansions in properties owned by ApexHi and
Redefine.
Prospects ApexHi, Hyprop and Redefine will continue to expand their
portfolios which should enhance their enterprise values and
consequently increase the asset management fees payable
to Madison. The Corovest acquisition is expected to become
earnings enhancing during the 2008 financial year. The increasing
contribution from the development and leasing divisions will
enhance Madison’s earnings.
The economic and market volatility which began in 2007 and
which is expected to continue during 2008 could provide Madison
with potential for corporate action and its managed funds with
opportunities to expand their property portfolios.
Subject to market conditions remaining stable and based on
current unit prices of the managed funds, the board anticipates
that the total distribution for the year ending 31 December 2008
will increase by between 10% and 12% compared to 2007.
Acknowledgements
The results for the year reflect the efforts and commitment
of the entire Madison team, including management and staff
directly responsible for the asset management of ApexHi, Hyprop
and Redefine. Our sincere appreciation is extended to our
management and staff, bankers, associates, corporate advisors
and to our co-directors for their wise counsel. We would also like
to thank our linked unitholders for their continuing confidence.

Corporate governance
IntroductionThe directors of Madison are committed to the Code of Corporate
Practice and Conduct as set out in the King II Report.
The directors recognise the need to conduct the enterprise with
integrity and accountability in accordance with generally accepted
corporate practices which includes timely and relevant reporting
to unitholders and other stakeholders.
Board of directorsThe constitution of the board of directors is set out on pages 4
and 5 of this report. The board meets quarterly and consists of six
directors including the chairman. Three directors are
non-executive, with two of them independent of management
and free from any relationship that could materially interfere
with the execution of their independent judgement. The business
experience of the non-executive directors enables them to
critically evaluate and determine strategy.
The board operates in accordance with a formal board charter
which defines its roles and responsibilities and deals with procedural
matters including board meetings, composition and remuneration.
Dealing in the company’s linked unitsDirectors must disclose to the Chairman any intention to buy or
sell linked units in Madison whether directly or indirectly. Directors
and any employee of the company who become aware of sensitive
financial information cannot directly or indirectly deal in the
company’s linked units until the information is in the public domain.
Audit and Risk CommitteeThe audit and risk committee comprises an independent
non-executive director and a non-executive director both of
whom meet the requirements as set out in the King Report and
applicable legislation. WE Cesman, an executive director, was a
member of the audit and risk committee during the year under
review but has resigned in accordance with the requirements of
the recently enacted Corporate Laws Amendment Act.
The chief financial officer and external auditors attend the meetings
by invitation. The committee meets at least three times a year and
has its own written terms of reference. Its activities include the
review of the annual financial statements prior to presentation to
the board, the review of internal control systems with reference
to the findings of the external auditors and considering any
changes in accounting policies, as well as the review of any
material audit recommendations. The committee sets the principles
for recommending the use of the external auditors for non-audit
services.
Remuneration CommitteeThe committee determines, agrees and develops the company’s
general policy on non-executive directors’ remuneration,
determines the criteria for the review of the executive directors’
performance in discharging their functions and responsibilities
and reviews the terms and conditions of executive directors’
remuneration. In addition, the committee reviews the
remuneration of all management and staff employed
by Madison.
The committee comprises two independent non-executive
directors and an executive director. The committee members
are not involved in determining their own remuneration packages.
Risk ManagementThe Board is responsible for effective risk management which
is crucial to Madison’s operations.
Management, as well as the audit and risk committee, is
involved in a continuous process of developing and enhancing
comprehensive systems for risk identification and management.
The objectives of the risk management process are to:
• determine the company’s risk tolerance;
• identify all material risks to which the company is exposed;
• monitor and assess the identified risks; and
• manage or transfer any risk that exceeds the level
of acceptable risk, or could potentially impact the
company’s operations.
Employment EquityMadison is committed to the development and training of its
employees and to the principle of equal opportunity employment.
EthicsThe directors, management and staff are required to observe the
highest ethical standards as set out in the formal code of conduct,
thereby ensuring that business practices are conducted in a
manner which, in all circumstances, is beyond reproach.
Communication and investor relationsIt is the policy of Madison to disclose all relevant and
appropriate information in the annual report and through
other communication channels to give all unitholders, potential
unitholders and other stakeholders access to relevant information.
Madison regularly meets with institutional shareholders,
investment analysts and media representatives.

Directors’ responsibility and approval
Statement of responsibility by the board of directorsThe financial statements presented on pages 30 to 53 have been
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards. The directors are responsible for selecting and
adopting sound accounting practices and for maintaining a
system of internal control that, amongst other things, will ensure
the preparation, integrity and fair presentation of the financial
statements and other financial information included in this
report.
The going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the
financial statements. The directors have no reason to believe
that the company or the group will not be a going concern in
the foreseeable future based on forecasts and available cash
resources. The financial statements support the viability of
the company and the group.
The financial statements have been audited by the independent
auditors, PKF (Jhb) Inc., who were given unrestricted access
to all financial records and related data, including minutes of
all meetings of the board of directors and committees of the
board. The directors believe that all representations made to the
independent auditors during their audit are valid and appropriate.
The unqualified audit report of PKF (Jhb) Inc. is presented on
page 29.
Approval of annual financial statementsThe annual financial statements as set out on pages 30 to 53 for
the year ended 31 December 2007 were approved by the board of
directors on 19 February 2008 and are signed on their behalf by:
Harish Mehta Wolf Cesman Chairman Executive director
Declaration by company secretaryIn terms of Section 268G(d) of the Companies Act, 1973, as
amended, we hereby certify that, to the best of our knowledge and
belief, the company has lodged with the Registrar of Companies,
for the financial year ended 31 December 2007, all such returns as
are required of a public company in terms of this act and that all
such returns are true, correct and up to date.

Report on the financial statementsWe have audited the accompanying annual financial statements
and group annual financial statements of Madison Property Fund
Managers Holdings Limited set out on pages 30 to 53, which
comprise the directors report, the balance sheets as at
31 December 2007 and the income statements, statements of
changes in equity and cash flow statements for the year then
ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory notes.
Management’s responsibility for the financial statementsManagement is responsible for the preparation and fair
presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies
Act of South Africa. This responsibility includes: designing,
implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies;
and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the
circumstances.
Auditor’s responsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those
standards require that we comply with ethical requirements
and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of
the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
OpinionIn our opinion, the annual financial statements and group annual
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Madison Property Fund Managers Holdings
Limited as of 31 December 2007, and of its financial performance
and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements
of the Companies Act in South Africa.

part of the audited annual financial statements of the company
and the group for the year ended 31 December 2007.
Nature of businessMadison is a property asset management company which derives
its income predominantly from the asset management of three
leading listed property funds – ApexHi Properties Limited, Hyprop
Investments Limited and Redefine Income Fund Limited. Madison
also earns development fees, leasing commissions and transaction
and consulting fees.
Share and debenture capitalThe authorised share capital is R1 000 divided into 800 000 000
ordinary shares of 0.000125 cents, each of which is linked to
one unsecured variable rate subordinated debenture in Madison
Property Fund Managers Limited of 499 cents each.
The ordinary shares and debentures trade as a linked unit on the

incentives to MN Flax and JA Finn who were appointed during
the latter part of 2006. These units were issued at 400 cents
per linked unit. A further 11 128 000 linked units were issued
at a premium of 376 cents per linked to fund the acquisition of
Madison’s 40% interest in Corovest Fund Managers Limited.
At the year end, the net asset value per linked unit amounted to
189 cents (2006: 160 cents)

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
The company was incorporated in and under the laws of the
Republic of South Africa. The financial statements are presented
in South African Rand as this is the company’s functional and
presentation currency.
The consolidated annual financial statements are presented in
accordance with and comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) and the Companies Act of South Africa. The
financial statements, which are prepared on the historical cost
basis, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets at fair
value through profit and loss, incorporate the following accounting
policies which are consistent with those applied in the previous year.
The preparation of financial statements necessitates the use of
estimates, assumptions and judgements. These estimates and
assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
at the balance sheet date as well as affecting the reported
income and expense for the year. Refer to note 4 for details of
assumptions, estimates and judgements used.
1.1 Financial instruments
Financial instruments are contracts that give rise to a financial
asset of one entity, and a financial liability or equity instrument of
another entity. Financial instruments carried on the balance sheet
include listed securities, receivables, cash and cash equivalents,
debentures, financial liabilities and payables.
These instruments are measured as set out below.
1.1.1 Receivables
Receivables are measured at amortised cost less provision
for impairment. A provision for impairment is established
when there is objective evidence that the group will not be
able to collect all amounts according to the original terms of
receivables.
1.1.2 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call
deposits and are carried in the balance sheet at amortised
cost. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible to known amounts
of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in fair value.
1.1.3 Debentures
Debentures are considered to be a held-to-maturity financial
instrument and are recognised at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method.
1.1.4 Other financial liabilities
Interest bearing liabilities, other than debentures, are recog-
nised at amortised cost using the effective interest rate
method.
1.2 Basis of consolidation
1.2.1 Business combinations
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the
purchase method. The cost of an acquisition is measured
at the aggregate of the fair values of assets acquired,
liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued
at the date of exchange plus any costs attributable to the
acquisition
1.2.2 Interests in subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities over which the company has the
power to govern the financial and operating policies so as
to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control,
potential voting rights which are presently exercisable or
convertible are taken into account.
In the separate financial statements of the company,
investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost and
adjusted for impairment if applicable. The consolidated
financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities,
income, expenses and cash flows of the group and all entities
controlled by the group. The results of subsidiaries acquired
or disposed of during the year are included in the consoli-
dated income statement from the date of acquisition or up to
the date of disposal. Intercompany transactions and balances
between group companies are eliminated on consolidation.
1.2.3 Interests in associates
Associates are companies over which the group has
significant influence but not control.
In the separate financial statements of the company,
investments in associates are accounted for at cost and
adjusted for impairment if applicable.
Associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial
statements using the equity method of accounting. Under
this method, the interest in the associate is initially
recognised at cost. The group’s share of post acquisition
profits or losses is recognised in the income statement. The
interest in the associate is adjusted for post acquisition
profits or losses, distributions received and other
adjustments to the carrying amount.
The group’s accounting policy for associates with a
September financial year end is to account for a three
month lag period in reporting their results. Any significant
transactions that occur between October and the group’s
December year end are taken into account.
1.3 Property plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are reflected at cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is
charged on the straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of
the assets as follows:
Motor vehicles 4 years
Computer equipment 3 years
Computer software 3 years
Furniture and fittings 3 years
Office equipment 4 years
The profit or loss on the disposal or retirement of an asset is
determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and
the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised as income or
Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2007
37
expense. Carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are
assessed annually and are reduced to their recoverable amounts
where this is lower than the carrying amount. The expected cash
flows attributable to such assets are considered in determining the
recoverable amount.
1.4 Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost if acquired
separately or at fair value if acquired as part of a business
combination. Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated
useful life on a straight line basis. The estimated useful lives and
residual values are reviewed annually. Impairment losses are
recognised as an expense in the income statement.
1.5 Goodwill
Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from
assets that are not capable of being individually identified and
separately recognised in a business combination. It is determined
as the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the group’s
interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities of the subsidiary or associate at the date of
acquisition.
Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units for the purpose
of impairment testing. Impairment is determined by assessing
the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which
the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash
generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment
loss is recognised.
Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
If the cost of the acquisition is less than the fair value of the net
assets of the subsidiary or associate acquired, the difference is
recognised directly in the income statement at the acquisition date.
1.6 Listed securities
Listed securities are designated by management at fair value
through profit or loss at inception.
1.7 Cash flow hedges
The group uses cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of variability
of future cash flows arising from fluctuations in equity prices over
the hedging period. Where a cash flow hedge qualifies for hedge
accounting, the effective portion of gains or losses on remeasuring
the fair value of the hedging instrument are recognised directly
in equity in the cash flow hedging reserve until such time as the
hedged item affects profit and loss, at which point, the deferred
gains and losses are transferred to the income statement.
Gains and losses on any portion of the hedge determined to be
ineffective are recognised immediately in profit and loss. If the
forecast hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the
cumulative gains or losses on the hedging instrument that were
reported in equity are transferred immediately to the income
statement.
1.8 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal
or con-structive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit
will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of
the amount can be made.
1.9 Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises asset management fees, management fees,
development fees and leasing commissions and excludes value
added taxation. Revenue is recognised when the services are
rendered. Interest is recognised on the effective yield basis over
the period to maturity. Other income is recognised on the accrual
basis.
1.10 Income tax
The charge for current tax is based on the results for the period
as adjusted for items which are non-assessable or disallowed. The
charge is calculated using the tax rates enacted at the balance
sheet date. Deferred taxation is provided using the balance sheet
liability method, providing for temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
A deferred tax liability is recognised on all taxable temporary
differences. A deferred tax asset is recognised for all deductible
temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences can be utilised.
Deferred taxation is calculated at the tax rates that are expected
to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability
settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
1.11 Recently issued accounting standards
During the current year, the group adopted IFRS7 – “Financial
Instruments – Disclosure”. The International Accounting Standards
Board issued a number of standards, amendments to standards
and interpretations during 2007. These amendments will therefore
be implemented by the company, where applicable, during the
financial year ended 31 December 2008. The following are the new
standards and amendments to standards and interpretations:
• IAS 1 – Capital Disclosures
• IFRS 8 – Operating Segments
• IFRIC 10 – Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment
• IFRIC 11 – Group and Treasury Share Transactions
• IFRIC12 – Service Concession Arrangements
• IAS23 - Borrowing costs
The company is currently evaluating the impact of the above but
does not expect any significant effect on the financial statements.

Madison issued 6 500 000 linked units in February 2007 as incentive bonuses to two executives. The incentives, amounting to R25,9 million, have been raised as a prepayment and will be amortised over the five year period of the executives’ contracts. The carrying amount of the prepayment at 31 December 2007 amounts to R20,2 million.
Receivables that are less than three months past due are not considered impaired. At year end, receivables of R383 000 (2006 : Rnil) were past due but not impaired. These relate to lease commissions which will be collected once all requirements relating to the leases have been properly fulfilled. The ageing analysis of these receivables is as follows:
3 to 6 months 367 – – –
6 to 9 months 16 – – –
383 – – –
The group has credit risk exposure on its receivables. The credit risk exposure on the executives sign on incentives is mitigated due to them having to repay portion of the unexpired bonus if they resign prior to the completion of the contract period.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2007
28. CONTINGENT LIABILITY
Nedbank Limited advanced funds to Clearwater Property Holdings
(Proprietary) Limited, (“Clearwater“) a wholly owned subsidiary of
Clearwater Capital (Proprietary) Limited, to fund the subscribtion for
20 000 000 linked units in Madison. Madison has issued a guarantee, to a
maximum of R20 000 000, in respect of this loan. At year end, Clearwater
had met all obligations to Nedbank Limited.
29. RETIREMENT BENEFITS
90% of Madison employees are members of the Madison Group Staff
Provident Fund, Spearhead Pension Fund or Hyprop Investments Limited
Defined Contibution Provident Fund. These funds are defined contribution
funds and are subject to the Pensions Funds Act, 1956. Based on the
latest actuarial valuations, the funds are in a sound financial position.
Contributions received by the funds for the year amounted to R1,9 million.
The group’s contribution of R1,4 million for the year was included in
employee costs in the income statement.
30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial instruments of the company consist of deposits with banks,
financial assets, debentures, long term borrowings, trade and other
receivables and trade and other payables. Exposure to credit and interest
rate risk arise in the normal course of the company’s business.
30.1 Equity price risk
The group is exposed to equity price risk through its employee phantom
share scheme. Changes in the market value of the underlying units are
directly linked to changes in the value of the obligation assumed towards
the employees of the group which is required to be settled annually in March
and April each year.
The group hedges its exposure to changes in the resulting cash flows arising
from the employee phantom share schemes which are linked to the market
price of various listed units by means of acquiring a direct investment in
the underlying unit. At contractual maturity date, the underlying units are
disposed of on the open market in order to settle the obligation towards the
participating employees.
30.2 Interest rate risk
The group is exposed to credit rate risk as it borrows funds from time
to time. This risk is managed by negotiating favourable interest rates and
investing in variable rate instruments. The risk is further managed by
investing all surplus cash against the debt.
Sensitivity analysis relating to interest rates: If interest rates increased by
2% during the year, additional interest costs of R1,6 million would have been
incurred.
30.3 Liquidity risk
Company debt funding is provided by Standard Bank of South Africa Limited.
The cash position and requirements of the group are monitored on an
ongoing basis. The group matches funding to assets on a case by case basis
where considered appropriate.
At year end, facilities amounting to R38,9 million were unutilised by the
group.
30.4 Credit risk
Credit risk relates to potential exposure on bank and call deposits and
trade receivables. The group limits its counterparty exposure arising from
money market instruments by dealing only with well established financial
institutions of high credit standing. The credit worthiness of customers is
assessed before a service agreement is concluded which is reviewed on an
ongoing basis. The majority of the group’s revenue flows are from property
funds listed on the JSE Limited. At balance sheet date, the group did not
consider there to be any significant concentration of credit risk which has
not been adequately provided for.
30.5 Currency risk
The group did not have foreign denominated receivables or liabilities at
the year end. The group’s only exposure to currency risk arises from its
investment in Corovest (note 6). Attributable income from this investment
will not be distributed to unitholders until a dividend has been declared and
paid by Corovest.

and the Companies Act, 61 of 1973, on the following bases:

in the Listings Requirements of the JSE and not to related
parties;
b) the number of linked units issued for cash shall not in the

issued linked units. The number of linked units which may be
issued for cash shall be based on the number of linked units
in issue at the date of the application, less any linked units
issued by the company during the current financial year,

d) after the company has issued linked units for cash which

asset value and earnings per linked unit of the company; and
e) the linked units which are the subject of the issue for cash
must be of a class already in issue, or where this is not the
case, must be limited to such linked units or rights as are
convertible into a class already in issue.”
In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE a 75% majority
of the votes cast by shareholders present or represented by proxy
at the annual general meeting must be cast in favour of Ordinary
Resolution 6 for it to be approved.
Ordinary Resolution 7: Confirmation of directors’ remuneration
“Resolved that the remuneration of non-executive directors for

and 7 and Special Resolution number 1, which are passed by the
shareholders with and subject to the terms thereof.”
Special Resolution 1: Linked unit repurchases
“Resolved that the directors be authorised in terms of the
company’s articles of association, until this authority lapses at
the next annual general meeting of the company unless it is then
renewed at the next annual general meeting of the company and
provided that this authority shall not extend beyond 15 months,
to enable the company or any subsidiary of the company to acquire
linked units of the company subject to the Listings Requirements
of the JSE Limited (“JSE”) and the Companies Act, 61 of 1973,
as amended, on the following bases:
57
a) the acquisition of linked units must be implemented through
the order book operated by the JSE trading system without
any prior understanding or arrangement between the company
and the counterparty;
b) the company (or any subsidiary) must be authorised to do so
in terms of its articles of association;
c) the number of linked units which may be acquired pursuant to
this authority in any financial year (which commenced
1 January 2008) may not in the aggregate exceed 20% (or
10% where the acquisitions are effected by a subsidiary) of the
company’s share capital as at the date of this notice of annual
general meeting;
d) repurchases may not be made at a price more than 10% above
the weighted average of the market value on the JSE of the
linked units in question for the five business days immediately
preceding the repurchase;
e) repurchases may not take place during a prohibited period in
compliance with paragraph 3.67 of the Listings Requirements
of the JSE, unless the dates and quantities of linked units to
be repurchased during the prohibited period have been
determined and full details thereof announced on SENS prior
to commencement of the prohibited period;
f) after the company has acquired linked units which constitute,
on a cumulative basis, 3% of the number of linked units in
issue (at the time that authority from linked unitholders
for the repurchase is granted), the company shall publish
an announcement to such effect;
g) the company’s sponsor must confirm the adequacy of the
company’s working capital for purposes of undertaking the
repurchase of linked units in writing to the JSE prior to the
company (or any subsidiary) entering the market to proceed
with the repurchase;
h) the company must remain in compliance with paragraphs 3.37
to 3.41 of the Listings Requirements of the JSE concerning
unitholder spread after such repurchase; and
i) the company (or any subsidiary) shall appoint only one agent
to effect repurchases on its behalf.”
In accordance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE,
the directors record that:
Although there is no immediate intention to effect a repurchase
of the linked units of the company, the directors would utilise
the general authority to repurchase linked units as and when
suitable opportunities present themselves, which may require
immediate action.
The directors, after considering the maximum number of linked
units that may be repurchased and the price at which the
repurchases may take place pursuant to the buyback general
authority, are of the opinion that for a period of 12 months after
the date of this annual general meeting:
• the company and the group will be able to pay its debts in the
ordinary course of business;
• the consolidated assets of the company and the group fairly
valued in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards, will be in excess of the consolidated liabilities of the
company and the group after the buyback; and
• the company’s and the group’s share capital, reserves
and working capital will be adequate for ordinary business
purposes.
The following additional information, some of which may appear
elsewhere in the annual report of which this notice forms part,
is provided in terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE for
purposes of this general authority:
• Directors – pages 4 and 5;
• Major beneficial unitholders – page 55;
• Directors’ interests in linked units – page 30; and
• Capital structure of the company – page 44.
Litigation statement
In terms of section 11.26 of the Listings Requirements of the JSE,
the directors, whose names appear on pages 4 and 5 of the annual
report of which this notice forms part, are not aware of any legal
or arbitration proceedings including proceedings that are pending
or threatened, that may have or have had in the recent past (being
at least the previous 12 months) a material effect on the group’s
financial position.
Directors’ responsibility statement
The directors whose names appear on pages 4 and 5 of the annual
report of which this notice forms part, collectively and individually
accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information
pertaining to this special resolution and certify that, to the best
of their knowledge and belief, there are no facts that have been
omitted which would make any statement false or misleading, and
that all reasonable enquiries to ascertain such facts have been
made and that the special resolution contains all information
required by the Companies Act, 61 of 1973, as amended, and the
Listings Requirements of the JSE.
Material changes
Other than the facts and developments reported on in the annual
report of which this notice forms part, there have been no material
changes in the affairs or financial position of the company and its
subsidiaries since the date of signature of the audit report and up
to the date of this notice.
Reason for and effect of Special Resolution 1
The reason for Special Resolution number 1 is to afford directors of
the company a general authority for the company (or a subsidiary
of the company) to effect a buyback of the company’s linked units
on the JSE. The effect of the resolution will be that the directors
will have the authority, subject to the Listings Requirements of
the JSE and the Companies Act, 61 of 1973, as amended, to effect
acquisitions of the company’s linked units on the JSE.
Voting, proxies and quorum
Each of Madison’s linked units comprises one ordinary share
and one debenture. Certificated and own-name dematerialised
shareholders are therefore advised that they must complete a
separate form of proxy for shareholders and for debentureholders
in order for their vote/s to be valid. The form of proxy for
58
certificated and own-name dematerialised shareholders is set
out on page 63 of the annual report and the form of proxy for
certificated and own-name dematerialised debentureholders is set
out on page 65 of the annual report.
A shareholder of the company entitled to attend, speak and vote at
the annual general meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy or proxies
to attend, speak and to vote in his stead. The proxy need not be a
shareholder of the company.
On a show of hands, every shareholder of the company present
in person or represented by proxy shall have one vote only. On
a poll, every shareholder of the company present in person or
represented by proxy shall have one vote for every share held in
the company by such shareholder.
A form of proxy is attached for the convenience of certificated
and own-name dematerialised shareholders holding shares in the
company who cannot attend the annual general meeting but wish
to be represented thereat. Such shareholders must complete and
return the attached form of proxy and lodge it with the transfer
secretaries of the company.
Dematerialised shareholders who have not elected own-name
registration in the sub-register of the company through a Central
Securities Depository Participant (“CSDP”) and who wish to attend
the annual general meeting, must instruct the CSDP or broker to
provide them with the necessary authority to attend.
Dematerialised shareholders who have not elected own-name
registration in the sub-register of the company through a CSDP
and who are unable to attend, but wish to vote at the annual
general meeting, must timeously provide their CSDP or broker
with their voting instructions in terms of the custody agreement
entered into between that shareholder and the CSDP or broker.
Such shareholders are advised that they must provide their CSDP
or broker with separate voting instructions in respect of the shares
and the debentures in terms of their linked units. Forms of proxy
may also be obtained on request from the company’s registered
office. The completed forms of proxy must be deposited at, posted
or faxed to the transfer secretaries Computershare Investor
Services (Proprietary) Limited, Ground Floor, 70 Marshall Street,
Johannesburg 2001 (PO Box 61051, Marshalltown 2107), to be
received at least 48 hours prior to the meeting. Any shareholder
who completes and lodges a form of proxy will nevertheless be
entitled to attend and vote in person at the annual general meeting
should the shareholder sub-sequently decide to do so. The annual
general meeting shall be quorate if at least three shareholders are
personally present (or if the member is a body corporate the body
corporate must be represented) throughout the meeting.

represented at the annual general meeting of the company
at the offices of Madison at 2 Arnold Road, Rosebank, or
any adjournment if required. Additional forms of proxy are
available at the company’s registered office.
Not for the use by holders of the company’s dematerialised
ordinary shares who have not selected own-name
registration. Such shareholders must contact their CSDP
or broker timeously if they wish to attend and vote at the
annual general meeting and request that they be issued with
the necessary authorisation to do so, or provide the CSDP or
broker timeously with their voting instructions should they
not wish to attend the annual general meeting but wish to be
represented thereat, in order for the CSDP or broker to vote
in accordance with their instructions.

Notes to the form of proxy for shareholders
1 Each of Madison’s linked units comprises one ordinary
share and one debenture. Certificated and own-name
dematerialised shareholders are therefore advised
that they must complete a separate form of proxy for
certificated and own-name dematerialised shareholders
and a separate form of proxy for certificated and own-
name dematerialised debentureholders in order for their
vote/s to be valid. The form of proxy for certificated and
own-name dematerialised debentureholders is set out on
page 65 of the annual report.
2 This form of proxy is to be completed only by those
members who are:
• holding ordinary shares in certificated form; or
• recorded in the sub-register in electronic form in
their “own-name”.
3 Each shareholder is entitled to appoint one or more
proxies (none of whom need to be a shareholder of the
company) to attend, speak and vote in place of that
shareholder at the annual general meeting.
4 Shareholders that are certificated or own-name
dematerialised shareholders may insert the name of
a proxy or the names of two alternate proxies of the
shareholder’s choice in the space/s provided, with
or without deleting “the chairperson of the general
meeting”, but any such deletion must be initialled by the
shareholders. The person whose name stands first on the
form of proxy and who is present at the annual general
meeting will be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion
of those whose names follow. If no proxy is named on a
lodged form of proxy, the chairperson shall be deemed to
be appointed as the proxy.
5 A shareholder’s instructions to the proxy must be
indicated by the insertion of the relevant number of
votes exercisable by the shareholder in the appropriate
box provided. Failure to comply with the above will be
deemed to authorise the proxy, in the case of any proxy
other than the chairperson, to vote or abstain from
voting as deemed fit and in the case of the chairperson
to vote in favour of the resolution.
6 A shareholder or his/her proxy is not obliged to use all
the votes exercisable by the shareholder, but the total

(Proprietary) Limited, Ground Floor, 70 Marshall Street,

to be received at least 48 hours prior to the meeting.
8 The completion and lodging of this form of proxy will
not preclude the relevant shareholder from attending
the annual general meeting and speaking and voting in
person thereat to the exclusion of any proxy appointed
in terms hereof, should such shareholder wish to do so.
Where there are joint holders of ordinary shares, the vote
of the first joint holder who tenders a vote as determined
by the order in which the names stand in the register of
shareholders, will be accepted.
9 Where there are joint holders of any ordinary shares,
only that holder whose name appears first in the register
in respect of such shares needs sign this form of proxy.

reject or accept any form of proxy which is completed
and/or received otherwise than in accordance with these
notes, provided that, in respect of acceptances, the
chairperson is satisfied as to the manner in which the
shareholder concerned wishes to vote.

a person signing this form of proxy in a representative
capacity must be attached to this form of proxy unless
previously recorded by the company or Computershare
Investor Services (Proprietary) Limited or waived by the
chairperson of the annual general meeting.
12 Any alteration or correction made to this form of proxy
must be initialled by the signatory/ies.
