The unbundling disposal of 63 000mý zoned industrial land situated at 
Gosforth Park, Germiston, to a development company in which Sable is 
a 50% co-owner, has become unconditional and final transfer of the 
land is in progress. The industrial park comprises large industrial 
warehousing developments within a 273 000mý industrial estate. Sable 
anticipates that with active marketing underway, development activity 
should begin towards the end of 2013. A further reorganisation of 
Sable's assets has currently been concluded, subject to competition 
commission approval, at a commercial site next to Montecasino, Fourways. 
The reorganisation increases Sable's interest from 13,4% to 36,6% in two income 
producing property investments as well as retaining a 12,1% interest, together with several prominent land 
developers, in 40 865 mý of prime commercial land. The reorganisation is expected to be finalised by June 2013.Sable, 
together with a partner, has commenced with a demolition and part redevelopment of 2 existing industrial properties

of the park comprising 25 000mý continues to be developed incrementally. Sales of retirement houses and apartments at the Retreat

made to the High Court against a group company seeking to claim

material effect on the group?s financial position.
