Review Conclusion
The condensed provisional consolidated financial results of the Group have been reviewed by Nexia
SAB&T. The auditors’ review report is available for inspection at the company’s registered office. The
review conclusion is unmodified and is set out below:

“Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed
consolidated financial statements of Labat Africa Limited and its subsidiaries for the period ended 31 May
2021 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited
Listings Requirements for provisional reports, as set out in the basis of preparation of the condensed
consolidated financial statements, and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.”
The Auditor’s Report does not necessarily report on all of the information contained in this announcement.
Shareholders are therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the Auditor’s
engagement, they should obtain a copy of the Auditor’s Report together with the accompanying financial
information from the company’s registered office.

For and on behalf of the Board
