The purchase price was agreed upon in October 2009, based on a 10% yield.
Subsequently, Bluezone Investments (Pty) Ltd, a major tenant in two of the
buildings, was placed into liquidation and a number of tenants did not renew
their leases. This resulted in a decrease in the value of some of the buildings.
The value of the Heights building increased as a result of a better rental and a
longer renewed period.
These business combinations were accounted for by applying the acquisition
method in which the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed were done at
fair value.
The Africard and the Prospect Close buildings are in the process of being sold,
details of which will be included in a separate announcement.

The operating loss, after adjusting for fair value adjustments, impairments and
the bargain purchase, results in a sustainable operating profit of R13,485
million. Rental and other income increased substantially due to rentals received
in respect of the Karbotek, Durban Point and the Bluezone acquisitions, which
did not occur in 2009.
Likewise, the operating costs and certain fees relating to the Bluezone
acquisitions were incurred in 2010 and not in 2009.

23 Contingent claims and liabilities
Litigation against Catalyst (Pty) Limited (`Catalyst")
Bonatla has instituted litigations against Catalyst, who were the portfolio
managers of Bonatla at the time that the interest rate swap agreement with
Nedcor was entered into. The interest swap agreement was not disclosed to the
directors of Bonatla by Catalyst. This interest swap resulted in substantial
diminution of shareholder value and Bonatla is claiming R30 million from
Catalyst.
Summons has been issued and a court date is expected to be allocated in 2011.
Litigation re Saxum Group (Pty) Limited ("Saxum")
As a result of the conditions precedent as set out in the Saxum acquisition
agreement not being fulfilled, Bonatla became liable for a penalty owing to
Saxum amounting to R5 million. Bonatla paid R2 million of this in 2007 and
security has been given for the balance.
On 2 October 2007, Saxum obtained an unopposed judgement against Bonatla for an
amount of R4 million.
Bonatla has applied for the rescission of the judgement granted to Saxum.
The legal proceedings are in place and are expected to be resolved in 2011.
Bonatla`s attorneys are confident of the positive resolution of the matter.
Litigation re The Bebinchand Seevnarayan Trust ("The Trust")
The Trust undertook to advance an amount of R35 million to Bonatla as a bridging
loan during 2007. Bonatla was liable for both interest and a fee of R3 million,
of which R1,5 million was paid. To date, no amount has been paid to Bonatla in
terms of the loan agreement. Bonatla is consequently suing The Trust for the
return of the R1,5 million due to non-performance by The Trust. The court case
should happen in 2011.
The attorneys of Bonatla are confident of a favourable conclusion to this
matter.
Litigation re the Durban Point Waterfront acquisition
Litigation relating to the zoning and to the EIA has been instituted by various
parties which impacts on the ultimate transfer of the 200,000 sq. metres to
Bonatla. A legal opinion has been obtained which indicates that the Bonatla
transaction will be completed.
24 Future prospects
The continued weakness in the property industry offers opportunities for Bonatla
to expand its business and enhance its total return to shareholders.
The above objective will be pursued while maintaining the total debt ratio below
45% of total assets and interest cover above 2.25 times.
The company is now stabilised, generating profits and positive cash flow on a
monthly basis. This will provide a sound platform for the future intended
acquisition strategy.
25 Renewal of cautionary announcement
Shareholders are referred to the previous cautionary announcements dated 04
