     Residential Property Development

     The Group handed over 3 186 completed opportunities in the current year, and has 2 719
     opportunities currently under construction, with more to be commenced with, and just over
     3 100 opportunities being serviced in the 2024 financial year. The Group aims to manage
     cash flow more evenly by distributing handovers throughout the year. With revenue
     diversification between projects and provinces, along with a sustainable mix of customers,
     the Group expects consistent handovers, and in turn, consistent cash flow generation
     over the next 6 to 12 months.

     The revenue pipeline for the Residential Property Development business is R15.9 billion
     (more than 22 000 opportunities), excluding the addition of Frankenwald (with an
     anticipated minimum 20 000 opportunities), that will be added to this pipeline during the
     years to come.

     Calgro M3 has made major strides in containing costs and will continue working on
     efficient building designs and layouts that contain costs and improve margins. These
     efficient design layouts added more than 1 600 units to the pipeline at no additional capital
     cost. Diligent cost management is evident from consistently maintaining a gross profit
     margin above 20%.

     Memorial Parks

     We remain confident in the strategy of the Memorial Parks business. It has taken effort to
     understand the market dynamics and build critical mass. The newly implemented lay-by
     offerings are resonating well with the market and ongoing strategic marketing and data
     processing will ensure the sales momentum continues. While consumers are impacted
     by negative market conditions, we continue to investigate and develop favourable
     payment plans and remain confident that the business can achieve its annuity income
     targets in the medium term. Sales momentum should further be boosted through burial
     rights received for the Bloemfontein Memorial Park
