ACQUISITION OF A PROPERTY PORTFOLIO AND FURTHER CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT         
1.   Introduction                                                               
     Further to the cautionary announcement published on SENS on 4 November     
     2005, Sasfin Capital is authorised to announce that, subject to the        
fulfillment of the conditions precedent set out in 3.3 below, agreements   
     have been reached for Calulo to acquire various property letting           
     enterprises ("the properties") from various vendors for a total purchase   
     consideration of R129 160 334 ("the acquisitions").                        
2.   Background to and rationale for the acquisitions                           
     The stated objective and strategy of Calulo is to build a major property   
     portfolio held by a black empowered and controlled entity with soundly     
     managed and well located commercial, retail and industrial properties      
spread over all economically significant regions of South Africa.  To this 
     end Calulo, during March 2005, acquired control of Annuity Property Fund   
     Limited and its property portfolio and established itself as a fully       
     empowered property loan stock company listed on the JSE Limited ("the      
JSE").                                                                     
     The properties detailed herein will be acquired from various vendors and   
     are located predominantly in Gauteng. The nature and location of the       
     properties are in line with the company"s objectives of growth and         
diversification. The successful implementation of the acquisition will     
     result in Calulo increasing the size of its property portfolio and         
     benefiting from increased operational efficiencies.                        
3.   Salient terms of the acquisitions                                          
3.1  The properties                                                        
          The salient details of the properties are as follows:                 
          Name            Vendor            Date of      Purchase

          Purchase consideration and payment                                    
          The purchase of Fruit & Veg Carltonville for R8 779 823 was negotiated
as a separate transaction and has become unconditional. At the time   
          this purchase price was settled from the company"s existing resources,
          however the company will now raise appropriate funding as part of the 
          settlement of the purchase consideration for the acquisitions. The    
aggregate purchase price of the acquisitions is R129 160 334 and a    
          provison of R3 000 000 was made for costs.  The amount of R132 160 334
          will be settled as follows:                                           
          3.2.1     R35 300 334 by the issue of 15 689 037 new Calulo linked    
units ("linked units") at an aggregate issue price of 225   
                    cents per linked unit; and                                  
          3.2.2     the balance of R96 860 000 in cash which will be funded by a
                    loan from First Rand Bank Limited through its Rand Merchant 
Bank divison.                                               
          The number of issued linked units in the company after the settlement 
          of the purchase consideration will increase from 74 484 942 to 90 173 
          979.                                                                  
3.3  Conditions precedent                                                  
          The acquisition agreements, excluding the acquisition of Fruit & Veg  
          Carltonville referred to in 3.2 above, are subject to such terms and  
          conditions as are normal for transactions of this nature.  The only

               approval of the competition commission;                          
-    approval by the JSE and the granting of a listing of the linked  
               units to be issued as part payment of the consideration for the  
               acquisitions;                                                    
          -    the approval of a majority of unitholders present or represented 
at a general meeting of the company to be convened to approve the
               acquisitions, and                                                
          -    registration of transfer of the properties.

          January 2006.                                                         
4.   Documentation and categorisation in terms of JSE Listings Requirements     
     The acquisitions are categorised as a category 1 transaction in terms of   
the JSE Listings Requirements. Accordingly a category 1 transaction        
     circular, incorporating a notice convening a general meeting to approve the
     acquisitions ("the general meeting") is in the course of preparation and   
     will be posted to unitholders in due course.                               
5.   Opinions and recommendations                                               
     The directors of Calulo have considered the terms and conditions of the    
     acquisitions and are of the opinion that they are fair and reasonable to   
     unitholders and unanimously recommend that unitholders vote in favour of   
the resolutions to implement the acquisitions at the general meeting.      
     Those Calulo directors intend to vote in favour of the resolutions         
     necessary to implement the acquisitions in respect of linked units         
     beneficially owned by them or under their control.

     A further announcement to provide specific details of the properties and   
     financial effects of the acquisitions in terms of the Listings Requirements
     of the JSE will be made shortly. Unitholders are accordingly advised to    
continue to exercise caution in dealing in their linked units until such   
     announcement is made.
