2.   Rationale for the acquisitions                                             
In line with Octodec`s strategy of actively pursuing redevelopment and      
    investment opportunities that will enhance the overall quality and value of 
    its portfolio, the acquisitions represent attractive investments situated   
    in the Johannesburg Central Business District.                              
3.   Consideration for the acquisitions

    (seventy nine million, five hundred and twenty eight thousand, seven        
    hundred and seventy eight rand) ("the purchase consideration"). The         
purchaser will be liable for the commission, transfer duty and other costs  
    in the amount of R5 831 772 (five million eight hundred and thirty one      
    thousand, seven hundred and seventy two rand) in respect of the             
    acquisitions. In addition, the purchaser has budgeted to spend an amount of 
approximately R2 700 000 (two million seven hundred thousand rand) on the   
    upgrading of certain of the properties and elevators.                       
4.   Unaudited pro forma financial effects of the acquisitions
