Highlights
- Revenue from continuing operations grows by 13.5% to R2 449 million

PERFORMANCE
We submit our report to shareholders for the six months ended 31 December
2011.
Revenue and earnings
Revenue from continuing operations increased by 14% to R2 448,6 million (2010:
R2 157,0 million) due to good growth in the automotive and PET divisions.
Operating profit increased to R108,6 million (2010: R107,1 million). Coupled
with a further reduction in finance costs, this resulted in headline earnings
per share improving by 22% to 17,0 cents (2010: 13,9 cents). Earnings per
share increased by 22% to 16,9 cents (2010: 13,9 cents).
Financial position and cash flow
Despite increased trading activity, net interest-bearing borrowings decreased
by 28% to R187,4 million (2010: R260,2 million), and the period-end interest-
bearing debt/equity ratio was 12,4% (2010: 18,6%).
Operational overview
Industrial segment
Hosaf
Another excellent performance by the polymer plant is the result of strong
customer demand for PET. Sales increased by 31% over the previous period as a
result of higher commodity prices and favourable market conditions. Plant
efficiencies are at record levels, and quality and consistency of product
remains good.
Feltex Automotive
Global vehicle sales are showing a favourable trend, with locally manufactured
vehicles having increased by 8% to 243 950 (2010: 225 616 units) due mainly to
growth from Volkswagen and Toyota. Vehicle sales remain dependent on the
strength of the global recovery.
Industrial Footwear
A new marketing drive at United Fram and a revitalised product range are
anticipated to have a positive effect. At Wayne Plastics a new gumboot machine
is expected to address current capacity constraints.
Consumer segment
Bull Brand Foods
Comprehensive restructuring at Bull Brand is starting to yield results, with
the management team targeting a significant reduction in the cost base and
focussing on procurement and production efficiencies.
Brenner Mills
Rising maize prices are putting further pressure on consumers` pockets in all
maize categories which has affected Brenner`s margins.
Jordan
Increased sales were reported by the Asics, Ladies and Corporate divisions,
and margins improved due to tight control of expenses.
Glodina
A dramatic spike in yarn prices in recent months has resulted in a poor
performance. However, yarn prices have now begun to normalise.
Corporate activity
On 18 October 2011, the group announced the acquisition of the South African
industrial assets of Steinhoff Africa. At the date of this announcement, all
conditions precedent have been met, except for the approval by the competition
authorities.
An announcement will be made once all conditions precedent have been met.
Outlook
The group will continue to focus on strong cash generation and strict cost
control. In addition, the existing industrial assets and brands are well
positioned to remain competitive in the current market environment.
Appreciation
As always, we are grateful to our shareholders, employees and other
stakeholders, and thank them for their continued support.
