Income Statement
The rental income of R1,6 million relates to the Samrand Flagship Building,
situated at No. 1 Samrand Avenue, Centurion, which is the only revenue
producing building in the group. There were no land sales during the period
under review.
The operating loss of R4,2 million includes an accrual of R3,3 million for the
disputed rates charge by the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality.
Net financing expenses of R8,0 million includes interest of R10,3 million
accrued in respected of the disputed claim of New Republic Bank Limited (under
receivership), plus R2,1 million interest accrued on the Nedbank loan, less
interest income of R4,8 million due to the group on the loan to the Tshwane
Metropolitan Municipality.
Balance sheet
The group still disputes the claim by New Republic Bank Limited (under
receivership) and this matter was reported on in the last annual financial
statements and the recent circular to shareholders.
The accruals for the disputed loan to former related companies have been
retained.
The net asset value per share is derived by dividing the share capital and
reserves by the average number of shares in issue.

in force.
