Notes:
1. The “Before” basic loss and headline loss per share have
been extracted without adjustment from the audited,
published results of IFA for the 18 months ended 31
December 2011. The “Before” net asset value and tangible
net asset value per share have been calculated from the
financial information presented in the audited, published
results of IFA for the 18 months ended 31 December 2011.
2. The “After pro forma adjustments” loss per share and
headline loss per share assumes:
o Recognition of the loss on disposal of shares and
claims in Boschendal, being the excess of the carrying
value of the investment and claims in Boschendal over
the expected proceeds on the disposal. This will not
have a continuing effect on IFA’s financial results.
o Transaction costs of approximately R934 306 directly
relating to the transaction. This will not have a
continuing effect on IFA’s financial results.
o Reduction in interest income not accrued from the loan
provided to Boschendal at an interest rate of 8%, as a
result of the Disposal of the claims in Boschendal and
the reversal of the tax effect at a company tax rate
of 28%. This will have a continuing effect on IFA’s
financial results.
o Reversal of IFA’s share of the Boschendal loss for the
18 months ended 31 December 2011. This will have a
continuing effect on IFA’s financial results.
o Reduction in interest expense not accrued on loans
repaid from the proceeds of the Transaction, at an
interest rate of 8%, and the reversal of the tax
effect at a company tax rate of 28%. This will have a
continuing effect on IFA’s financial results.
3. The “After pro forma adjustments” net asset value and net
tangible asset value per share assumes:
o Reversal of the carrying value of the loan to
Boschendal.
o Raising of R80.0 million, in cash, received as
consideration for the disposal of the shares and
claims in Boschendal.
o Payment of transaction costs of approximately R934 306
directly related to the Transaction.
o Repayment of loans provided by group companies of an
amount of R10.5 million
o Repayment of the loan provided by Nedbank Limited,
secured by IFA Boschendal, of an amount of R53.8
million.
o Recognition of the loss on disposal of the shares and
claims in Boschendal.

the announcement released by the Company on 20 July 2012

Shareholders are hereby advised that obtaining property
valuation report/s on the Transaction from the independent

4. Withdrawal of cautionary announcement relating to
Transaction
IFA Shareholders are advised that the cautionary
announcement relating to the above Transaction is hereby
withdrawn following the release of the above financial
effects.

subsequent renewals thereof, the last of which was released

action to date and the said cautionary announcement is
