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 R406K full-year profit, R418K is fair value adjustments (unrealised). Cash income is only R73K (interest + REIT dividends). With donations now at R43K/year — 59% of cash income — the buffer has narrowed. Comfortable but monitor: any further donation commitments should be weighed against available cash yield, not FVA gains.
Cash cover ratio: 1.7× 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.

FY2026 Year-End Commentary
MONTH 12 (FEBRUARY 2026) COMPLETED · FULL YEAR CLOSED
What moved in February
Combined net worth added R1.90M in the final month, moving from R175.8M to R177.7M. The primary drivers were a R598K fair value uplift on the GBFT listed equity portfolio — the strongest FVA month of FY2026 — and continued Bluff SC operating income. The Valgro call account reduced by R1.73M via scheduled repayments, which explains a small offsetting decline in GBFH liquidity.
Full-year verdict
FY2026 closed at R10.15M combined net income — materially ahead of any prior budget scenario. Bluff SC delivered R7.84M NOI — Net Operating Income (138% of its R5.67M budget). GBFT captured R7.26M income, driven by exceptional property dividends and a R417K FVA gain on its REIT portfolio. GBCT donated R43K in the year and grew its net worth to R620K. The SARS tax control account has grown to R3.37M DR — a meaningful liquidity item that needs active pursuit in FY2027.

FY2026 Year-End Advisory & FY2027 Priorities
CONFIDENTIAL · FOR BENEFICIARIES (JB & MR GAMSU) AND AVDV AS MANAGING TRUSTEE · FY2026 FINAL · ISSUED 27 MARCH 2026

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

The call account (Valgro Investments) closed FY2026 at R11.97M — down from R13.7M at M11 following R1.73M in scheduled repayments during February. While the balance has naturally reduced, this capital must be rehomed to Investec by April 2026 to access a better rate and cleaner structure.

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 R11.97M = R59,850/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: Rehoming is now imminent. Confirm new Investec structure and rate by end of March. Clarify Dumbass / Valgro capital needs with AvdV before April 1. The R11.97M balance is confirmed — do not advance further until the new facility is formalised.

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

GBFH has R54.3M total exposure to Dumbass / Valgro (R42.5M equity + R11.97M call account 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

The SARS Tax Control Account has grown to R3.37M DR at FY2026 close — up from R1.78M at M11. This is now a significant liquidity item. The increase indicates further provisional tax or VAT payments were made in February without a corresponding SARS refund receipt. Recovering R3.37M should be the highest priority administrative action for Q1 FY2027.

Action: The balance has nearly doubled in one month — establish with Tome & Associates exactly why. Confirm whether overpayments were made, whether refund claims are lodged, and get a written timeline. At the current call account rate, R3.37M sitting with SARS costs GBFH approximately R19,000/month in foregone interest.

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). Final FY2026 R&M spend of R864K against a R600K budget confirms the provision is materially understated for a centre of this age and scale.

  • 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) has been made and is supported by the exceptional FY2026 GBFT income of R7.26M. Combined family net worth has grown R1.90M in the final month alone, closing at R177.70M. 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 generated a R1.10M net electricity surplus for FY2026 (recovery R6.97M vs cost R5.87M) plus R300K in solar savings. While positive, the over-recovery at 148% of budget warrants understanding:

  • The 149%-of-budget recovery (full year) is driven by eThekwini tariff increases above the budget assumption. Revise the FY2027 electricity budget to R5.5M+ on both cost and recovery lines.
  • 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: The balance is now R11.97M. What is the confirmed new Investec structure? 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 — R3.37M: The balance has grown materially in February 2026. Establish the reason for the increase, confirm all refund claims are formally lodged with SARS, and obtain a written recovery timeline from Tome & Associates. At current rates this balance costs ~R19K/month in foregone interest.
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 closed FY2026 at R2.49M. Interest on arrears ran at 286%+ of budget for the full year. Which tenants are in arrears and is any amount at risk of being irrecoverable? A provision may be needed in the FY2027 budget.

TIER 1 TOTAL R 12,643,579 Less R2M operating reserve = R 10.64M net deployable
Net freely deployable cash after a prudent R2M operating buffer: R 10.64M. The Valgro call account (R11.97M) represents 94.7% of Tier 1 and is earning only 6.80%. Rehoming to Investec at Prime −0.5% (approximately 9.75% at current Prime of 10.25%) would add approximately R348K/year in additional interest income with no additional risk.

TIER 2 — Near-Term Recoverable (R 4.21M)

SARS TAX CONTROL ACCOUNT
R 3,374,867
Refund owed by SARS — shown as debit (asset) in GBFH books. Grown from R1.78M at M11 to R3.37M at M12 — a R1.59M increase in one month alone, indicating February VAT and/or provisional tax payments hit without a corresponding refund receipt.

At the current call account rate of 6.80%, this balance costs GBFH approximately R19,044/month in foregone interest. Over 6 months that is R114K of dead cost. Active SARS pursuit is the highest-return administrative action available.
BLUFF RETAIL LOAN REPAYMENTS
R 840K / year
The Bluff Retail loan (balance R1.249M at Feb 2026) repays at approximately R70K/month at 12.25% (Prime +2%). Annual repayment inflow of R840K flows back to GBFH. This is best left in place — at 12.25% it is the highest-yielding loan on the book and is self-liquidating without requiring management. Do not recall early.

TIER 3 — Liquid But Currently Invested (R 24.45M)

GBFH LISTED SHARES (Investec)
R 11,740,000
JSE-listed equities managed by Investec Wealth. Grew 39.1% from R8.44M (Mar 2025) to R11.74M (Feb 2026). Liquid — saleable in T+3 days. Unrealised gain estimated at R3.3M above cost basis.
GBFT LISTED PORTFOLIO (Investec)
R 12,712,315
36 JSE holdings including Naspers, Standard Bank, Anglogold, BHP, Glencore. Grew 28.7% from R9.88M (Mar 2025) to R12.71M (Feb 2026). Liquid — saleable in T+3. Unrealised gain estimated at R2.73M.
Tier 3 shares should only be liquidated for a specific investment with a risk-adjusted return materially above the current portfolio yield. Both portfolios are appreciating (combined +R6.1M or +33% in 11 months) and generating dividend income. Partial liquidation for a yield-accretive property syndication would be justified if the target return exceeds 12% — otherwise the existing equity outperformance argues for retention.

SUMMARY — Net Investment Capacity

Tier 1 — Available cash (Valgro call + other) R 12,643,579
Less: Prudent operating reserve (recommended) −R 2,000,000
Net Deployable — Tier 1 (conservative) R 10,643,579
Add: SARS refund (pending — once recovered) +R 3,374,867
Net Deployable — Tier 1 + SARS (once recovered) R 14,018,446
Add: Tier 3 liquid listed shares (if liquidated) +R 24,452,315
Maximum theoretical deployment (all tiers) R 38,470,761
Recommendation: Target Tier 1 deployment of R8–10M into a yield-accretive opportunity — keeping R2–3M as operational buffer and preserving the SARS refund as a bonus once recovered. At a target cap rate of 12%+, a R10M deployment would add approximately R1.2M/year in net income — a 45% uplift on GBFH's current investment income run-rate from the call account. Do not liquidate Tier 3 unless the target return materially exceeds current equity performance (33% gain in 11 months).

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.

FVA of R227,151 is non-cash mark-to-market on listed shares. · Net profit below budget primarily because budget included dividend income that is not an operating item.

Notable Performance Observations
01 · EQUITY GROWTH EXCEEDS INFLATION
Combined net worth CAGR of 7.0% p.a. over two years (Mar 2024–Feb 2026) outperforms South African CPI (approximately 4.5–5.5% over same period). Real wealth growth is positive. GBFH's 6.9% CAGR reflects both operating income from Bluff SC and fair value appreciation on the investment portfolio.
02 · ELECTRICITY RECOVERY OUTPERFORMING
Electricity recovery grew +11.1% YoY in March 2025 (R500K → R555K). This reflects eThekwini tariff increases being passed through to tenants. FY2026 electricity net surplus was R1.10M — the solar installation contributes R25K/month (R300K/year) as an additional credit. At the full FY2026 rate, electricity has become a meaningful income driver.
03 · VALGRO LOAN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED
The Valgro call account was reduced by R2.25M in March 2025 alone (from R6.55M to R4.35M), indicating substantial capital returned. This reduces GBFH's interest cost and improves the intercompany balance sheet. However, by FY2026 close the balance had grown to R11.97M — new advances during FY2026 more than replaced the March 2025 repayment.
04 · ADMIN FEES BUDGET UNDERSTATED
March 2025 admin & management fees of R122,213 vs budget of R60,762 is a +R61,451 overrun and a consistent pattern. MaxProp quarterly billing in the same month inflates the number. The FY2026 full-year management fees of R673,638 vs budget R726,499 came in under budget — suggesting the quarterly phasing creates monthly noise but the annual figure is well-managed.
05 · GBFT LISTED PORTFOLIO STRONG
GBFT's listed share portfolio grew from R9.88M (Mar 25) to R12.71M (Feb 26) — a R2.83M or +28.7% gain in 11 months. This was driven by commodity stocks (Anglogold, BHP, Northam) recovering strongly alongside banking stocks (Standard Bank, FirstRand). Naspers declined but was offset. Combined listed equity grew 33.8% across all three entities.
06 · INTEREST ON ARREARS ELEVATED
Interest on arrears was R9,799 in March 2025 vs budget R5,000 (+96%). This is a persistent stress indicator — the March 2024 actual was also elevated (R8,625). At the FY2026 full-year level, arrears interest reached R179,635 vs budget R60,000 (+199%). While positive for income, this signals tenant financial stress in the Bluff SC tenant base. Review debtor aging urgently.
