2. Basis of presentation
The Group is domiciled in South Africa. The unaudited summarised consolidated financial results at and for the period ended
27 June 2017 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group").
The Group's principal accounting policies have been applied consistently over the current and prior financial periods.
On 5 March 2014 the Company announced that the board of directors had taken the decision, subject to approval by the
Company's shareholders, to discontinue the operations in a phased and orderly manner during 2014 and to realise value for the
Company's assets during 2014 and 2015. The decision was approved at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on
9 May 2014. The Company will be wound down and deregisted in due course. The above information highlights that the going
concern principle is not applicable in the preparation of the Company's financial statements. When the Company ceases trading
the directors are of the opinion that the Company will be in a position to discharge all of its liabilities, due to the Company's cash
resources and to recover the assets at their carrying amounts. The effect, if any, of preparing the financial statements, other than
on the going concern basis will be negligible. Consequently, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with
IFRS which among other things, requires writing assets down to their recoverable amounts. It also requires recognising a liability for
contractual commitments that may have become onerous as a consequence of the decision to cease trading.
The Group's condensed summarised financial results have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE
Limited Listings Requirements for interim reports, and the requirements of the Companies Act applicable to condensed financial
statements. The Listings Requirements require interim reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the
measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the SAICA Financial Reporting
Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee, Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting
Standards Council as well as, the information required by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting.
COMMENTARY
The Group realised a loss for the period of R2.2 million compared to a loss of R3.2 million for the same period last year.
The main contributor to the reduction in the loss was reduced expenses for the shutdown of the business, R4.5 million compared to
R7.2 million for the same period last year. Those expenses included R900 000 for management salaries, R700 000 for general works,
R1.4 million for administrative expenses, and R1.1 million for continuing the Nelspruit plant site's committed electrical supply.
Total interest earned during the period on cash investments was R3.2 million (2016: R4.6 million).
Net cash utilised by operations during the period totalled R4.8 million (2016: R7.9 million). Working capital increased during the period
by R20.0 million as a result of the payment during the period of the short-term payable associated with the purchase last year of a parcel
of land within the Nelspruit plant site from Manganese Metal Company (2016: decrease of R1.1 million).
The Group's period end cash balances decreased by R22.8 million from R103.8 million to R81.0 million, reflecting net cash utilised to
pay for the land purchased from Manganese Metal Company.
The directors are not aware of any material event which occurred after 27 June 2017 and up to the date of this report.
PROSPECTS
The only remaining non-current asset held by the Group is the plant site in Nelspruit. No bids for the site were made at the auction held
on 29 June 2017. Efforts to market and sell the Nelspruit site continue.
Following the sale of the Nelspruit plant site, the Group intends to delist and deregister the Company and to pay a final dividend.
Any forward statement has not been reviewed or reported on by the companies auditors for the period under review.
DIRECTORATE
No change.
