5.3 Loan to subsidiaries

Capital gains taxation was payable on the sale during 2011 of Attfund Retail's 25% interest in Centurion Mall to Fountainhead Property Trust. The capital gains taxation was funded by Hyprop, which resulted in a debit loan in Hyprop and a credit loan in Attfund Retail. Attfund Retail is a dormant company and will be deregistered in due course. Therefore the loan was impaired through the company statement of comprehensive income during 2012.
