budget error ①
① Bond interest budget: The R950/month budget figure is a known preparation error. Actual annualised cost is approximately R390K/year on the R17M Investec facility. As the bond is being paid down and the facility restructured, the FY2027 budget should reflect the revised position once confirmed. · Investment income (dividends from syndications, interest on loans) is tracked in the GBFT tab and the Consolidated view, not in this Bluff SC budget.

Investment Advisory Notes
LEASE RENEWALLease renewed at R70/m² — down from R80.05. Confirm signed lease received. Single-tenant property carries binary vacancy risk. Next renewal cycle should be monitored from 2027.
S/H LOAN ROLL-UPS/H loan interest capitalising at 10.5% — growing from R31.5M toward R33.5M+ by Jan 2026. Redemption must be covered by sale or refinance. Monitor S/H loan balance annually.
HOLDING STRUCTUREGBFH holds R5,250,000 directly in 117 Old Main Rd Investments (Pty) Ltd plus a further R2,100,000 indirectly via its 40% stake in Dumbass (Pty) Ltd, which also invested R5,250,000 in the same S/H loan. Combined GBFH economic exposure = R5.25M + R2.1M = R6,615,000 (21% of the R31.5M S/H loan). Confirm GBFH has board representation in Dumbass and receives annual audited accounts from both entities.
VALUATION NOTEGV (COJ 2023 industrial): R59.7M. Asking price R65M implies total equity above bond of R30M. GBFH 21% economic share (direct + via Dumbass) = book R6.615M vs R6.3M implied equity at asking price — broadly in line. Independent valuation recommended at next FY-end.

Donations of R23,000 represent 35% of cash income, which is healthy for a charitable trust of this scale. The large FVA gain should be viewed as unrealised until shares are sold.

GBCT · Advisory Notes
01 · Section 7C — Interest-Free Loan Risk
The R1M GBCT loan to GBFH appears to be interest-free — no interest appears in GBCT income or GBFH expenses. If GBCT is a "connected person" to GBFH, section 7C deems foregone interest as a donation. At the official SARS rate (SA Prime – [applicable margin]), the deemed donation and resulting donations tax exposure should be quantified once the Prime rate adjustment is confirmed. Small but should be formalised.
Confirm with Tome & Associates
02 · FVA vs Cash Income — Portfolio Quality
Of the R335K YTD profit, R326K is fair value adjustments (unrealised). Cash income is only R73K (interest + REIT dividends). The REIT portfolio is performing well on paper but the trust's ability to fund donations relies on cash income. At current donation levels (R23K/year) vs cash income (R73K/year), there is comfortable headroom. Monitor if donation commitments increase.
Cash cover ratio: 3.2× current donations
03 · PBO Status & Donation Eligibility
Confirm whether GBCT holds Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) status with SARS. If registered as a PBO, donations made to GBCT by donors are section 18A-deductible and the trust's own investment income may be exempt from income tax up to the approved purposes. Annual reporting to SARS is required to maintain status. Review the list of beneficiaries for PBO compliance.

Working Capital & Distribution Advisory
CONFIDENTIAL · FOR BENEFICIARIES (JB & MR GAMSU) AND AVDV AS MANAGING TRUSTEE · FY2026 YEAR-END REVIEW

01 · Call Account Rehoming — April 2026 (Priority Action)

The R13.7M currently sitting in the Investec bond facility call account is earning Prime – [TBC]% — well-structured, but Investec does not want excess cash parked in a revolving credit facility. This capital must move by April 2026.

When selecting the new structure, the following priority order is recommended:

  1. Negotiate Prime – 0.5% or better on a dedicated money market or call account. Every 50bps on R13.7M = R68,500/year at zero risk.
  2. Avoid long lock-ups. A 32-day notice at +40–60bps over call is sensible; a 3–6 month fixed deposit makes sense only if the rate premium exceeds 100bps. Capital may be needed for R&M capex at Bluff SC or for Dumbass (Pty) Ltd if AvdV calls for capital.
  3. Consider a split: R3–4M in 32-day notice (higher rate) and R10M in instant-access call (operational buffer and liquidity for unforeseen needs).
  4. Formalise Dumbass (Pty) Ltd before deploying further: If any of this capital is intended for Dumbass (Pty) Ltd (which already holds R13.7M in loans from GBFH), the loan rate should be renegotiated to at least match the new Investec call account rate (Prime – [TBC]%) before advancing additional funds. This is a governance and tax compliance matter.
Action: Confirm new Investec structure and rate before April. Clarify Dumbass (Pty) Ltd capital needs with AvdV in March/April. Do not commit to a new structure without this input.

02 · Dumbass (Pty) Ltd Loan Rate — Review Warranted

GBFH has R56.2M total exposure to Dumbass (Pty) Ltd (R42.5M equity + R13.7M intercompany loan). In addition, Dumbass holds R5.25M in the 117 Old Main Rd Investments S/H loan — giving GBFH a further R2.1M indirect exposure (40% × R5.25M). GBFH also holds R5.25M directly in 117 Old Main Rd, bringing total exposure to R6,615,000 (21% of the R31.5M S/H loan). The Dumbass intercompany loan earns 6.80% (Prime – 3.45%). By comparison, the Bluff Retail loan earns 12.25% (Prime + 2%) — a significant spread that should be reviewed annually.

  • At the current balance, aligning the Dumbass (Pty) Ltd loan rate to match the new Investec call account rate (Prime – [TBC]%) would generate material additional annual income for GBFH with no capital deployment required.
  • If the loan is expected to grow (R4M was advanced in Dec/Jan alone), formalising the rate and repayment schedule is important for both transfer pricing compliance and GBFH's income base.
  • As a 40% equity participant managed by AvdV, GBFH should receive Dumbass (Pty) Ltd's annual audited financial statements. The equity value of R42.5M implies a total entity value of ~R106M — has this been independently verified recently?

03 · SARS Tax Refund — Urgently Pursue

GBFH has a R1,776,467 tax refund due from SARS (Tax Control Account DR balance). A R318K partial recovery was received in January 2026. At the current Investec call account rate, R1.78M earns GBFH meaningful monthly income while it remains with SARS. Recovering this within 60–90 days should be a priority for Tome & Associates.

Action: Instruct Tome & Associates to confirm whether a formal refund claim has been lodged and to provide an expected recovery timeline. This is low-risk, near-certain cash.

04 · Bluff SC Repairs & Maintenance — Budget Needs Revision

The R&M register reveals a sustained structural maintenance programme — primarily CBBA Building Contractors (waterproofing, spalling repairs, roof leaks, painting) and Pixelpop (signage, gate, boom). YTD spend of R848K against a R600K full-year budget confirms the R600K figure is no longer adequate for a 1970s/80s-era shopping centre.

  • FY2027 recommendation: Budget R900K–R1.0M for R&M. Consider identifying any items (lift upgrades, HVAC, structural) that could be capitalised rather than expensed.
  • Review insurance programme — confirm Bluff SC is insured for full replacement value (building currently at R72M carrying value; replacement cost may be higher).
  • A multi-year capital maintenance plan (even informal) from AvdV would allow for better cash flow planning and may improve the asset's yield over time.

05 · Distribution Planning — Beneficiary Perspective

The FY2026 distribution of R2.4M each to JB and MR Gamsu (R4.8M total net) is funded from GBFT which received the R6M dividend from GBFH. The 20% dividend withholding tax is correctly applied to the taxable portion.

Looking ahead to FY2027, distributions can potentially be increased, subject to:

  • Confirmation of the new Investec call account yield in April (this determines the sustainable annual interest income from the R13.7M).
  • Dumbass (Pty) Ltd capital requirements — if further loan advances are expected, some liquidity needs to be preserved.
  • The R&M programme being adequately funded (avoid a situation where distributions are made but the property asset deteriorates).
  • SARS R1.78M refund recovery — once received, this is available for distribution or reinvestment.
Sustainable annual distribution capacity: R8–10M/year (R4–5M to each beneficiary). Current R4.8M is conservative. A R500K–R1M increase per beneficiary per year is achievable within the next 12–24 months as the call account is repositioned and Dumbass (Pty) Ltd income is formalised.

06 · Electricity Recovery — 148% of Budget Warrants Review

Bluff SC is generating a R930K net electricity surplus (recovery R6.29M vs cost R5.36M) plus R275K in solar savings. While positive, the over-recovery at 148% of budget warrants understanding:

  • Is the recovery calculated on the current eThekwini tariff schedule? If tariffs increased materially above budget assumptions, the FY2027 budget should be revised upward.
  • The Energy Capital metering contract shows billing adjustments and reversals in January — confirm with AvdV that the methodology is correct and compliant with leases.
  • Ensure the electricity debtor balance (R618K as at Jan 2026) is being recovered monthly and is not accumulating into a bad debt.

07 · FY2027 Budget Preparation (March/April)

When the new budget is drafted the following adjustments from the FY2026 budget are recommended:

  • R&M: Increase from R600K to R900K–R1.0M
  • Bond interest: Correct from R950/month to actual annualised cost (or remove if restructured)
  • Electricity recovery: Revise to R5.0M+ based on current tariff and consumption
  • Interest on arrears: Revise from R60K to R150K+ based on FY2026 actual run-rate
  • Call account income: Add a specific budget line for interest on the rehomed R13–14M at the confirmed new Investec rate (insert once April structure is confirmed)
  • Dumbass (Pty) Ltd loan interest: If rate is renegotiated, budget at the new rate
  • Distributions: Include budgeted distributions in both GBFH and GBFT budgets for transparency and cash flow planning
  • R&M capital items: Identify any items to be capitalised (cost vs budget will look cleaner)
Open Items for April Resolution
Items to confirm before FY2027 budget is finalised
Capital & Structural
Q1Call account rehoming: What is the confirmed new Investec structure for the R13.7M? What rate (Prime – [X]%) has been negotiated? Will any portion be directed to Dumbass (Pty) Ltd? This determines FY2027 investment income budgeting.
Q2Dumbass (Pty) Ltd total entity value: The 40% equity value is shown at R42.5M, implying a total entity value of approximately R106M. Has this been independently confirmed (audited accounts) recently? AvdV manages this entity — annual accounts should be available.
Q3Dumbass (Pty) Ltd loan rate formalisation: Should the loan rate be renegotiated to align with the new Investec call account rate (Prime – [TBC]%) before any further advances? A formal loan agreement (if not already in place) is important for SARS transfer pricing compliance.
Q4SARS refund: Estimated at less than R2M remaining. Has Tome & Associates lodged the formal refund claim? What is the expected recovery timeline? Prioritise as zero-risk cash.
Operational
Q5Bluff SC capital maintenance plan: Is there a 3–5 year maintenance plan for the centre? Knowing which major items (lift, HVAC, electrical) are upcoming allows the budget to be set more accurately and ensures the asset value is maintained.
Q6Electricity over-recovery: Is the 148% recovery vs budget due to tariff increases, higher consumption, or a methodology change with Energy Capital? The metering contract reversals in January need clarification.
Q7Tenant arrears: Debtors have grown from R1.34M to R2.04M. Interest on arrears is running at 286% of budget. Which tenants are in arrears and is any amount at risk of being irrecoverable? A provision may be needed in the FY2027 budget.

WATCH ITEMS
Lease renewal confirmed at R70/m² (down from R80.05). Confirm signed lease is in place. Next escalation cycle to R74.90/m² effective Jan 2027.

S/H loan interest rolling up at 10.5% — balance growing from R31.5M. Redemption must be covered by refinance or sale. Review balance annually.

Single-tenant risk — binary vacancy risk if Brenntag vacates. Industrial park has strong logistics demand drivers in Midrand corridor.
INVESTMENT THESIS
Cap rate ~12.22% at R65M purchase price on NOI of ~R7.95M p.a. Attractive for Midrand industrial.

7% annual escalation provides strong inflation-beating income growth. At 7% esc., rental reaches ~R93/m² by 2030.

Brenntag SA is a global chemical distributor — investment-grade anchor in a prime Gauteng industrial node.
