Review Conclusion of the Independent Auditor

The condensed consolidated provisional financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2017 have been
reviewed by KPMG Inc., who expressed an unmodified review conclusion. The auditor's review conclusion
contained the following paragraph with respect to reportable irregularities:

"In accordance with our responsibilities in terms of sections 44(2) and 44(3) of the Auditing Profession Act, we
report that we have identified reportable irregularities in terms of the Auditing Profession Act. We have reported
such matters to the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors. The matters pertaining to the reportable
irregularities have been described in note 11 to the condensed consolidated provisional financial statements."

The auditor’s report does not necessarily report on all of the information contained in these financial results.

OVERVIEW

Brikor is a diverse manufacturer and supplier of building and construction materials across a broad spectrum of the
market from low-cost housing, residential to commercial, industrial, civil engineering and infrastructure projects. The
group operates through three segments, namely bricks, aggregates and coal (the latter being through its subsidiary,
Ilangabi Investments 12 (Pty) Ltd).

The directors of Brikor are pleased to present the condensed consolidated provisional financial results for the year
ended 28 February 2017, which reflect the final chapter in a number of consecutive years of realignment,
consolidation, cleansing and establishment of a sustainable foundation on which to grow the future business of the
Brikor group. It is, once again important that the performance indicators are considered in conjunction with the
commentary in the financial results section below as the 2017 financial year is the final year where a number of
cost items ("Catch-up opex") have been incurred in order to catch-up on reporting which fell behind when the
company was still under provisional liquidation.
The group’s overall financial indicators evidenced the continued endeavors by management to cement a
sustainable operating platform for the group by reducing debt and ongoing accruing for liabilities pertaining to past
compliance matters which management is diligently and consistently working on to resolve. Detail on the reduced
turnover and EBITDA indicators can be found in the financial results section below. Stakeholders are encouraged
to specifically consider the impact of Catch-up opex, impairments, deferred tax recognition of the calculated tax
losses and the financial effect of the operational challenges faced due to foul weather in particularly November
2016 to January 2017.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue decreased to R300,5 million (2016: R317,0 million) with the gross profit percentage decreasing to 23,1%
(2016: 27,4%).

The competitive operating environment continues to drive selling prices downward which places pressure on
turnover however the major driving factor for the reduction in turnover for 2017 was a combination of limited
capacity in the production of bricks, brought upon by the limited power supply available to the brick plants, and the
foul weather experienced during the months of November 2016 to January 2017 of the financial year. Significant
rainfall hampered the group's ability to mine and screen aggregates, coal and clay for sales and the production of
bricks. It also hampered the group's ability to build stockpiles, which in turn caused difficulty and inconsistency in
the production processes. This is not a frequently repeated occurrence and management has planned and
executed procedures to ensure the group continues production smoothly despite unforeseen future weather
conditions. The segment most affected was the coal segment, showing a decline in revenue of R22,1 million with
bricks showing a decline of R1,1 million. The overall gross profit percentage declined largely as a result of
adjustments to rehabilitation provisions and the increased buy in of low margin stock bricks to supplement the
shortfall in supply experienced during the foul weather periods mentioned above. Further to this, the foul weather
conditions altered the production basket to the less profitable range of bricks available for sale thereby also driving
the gross profit percentage of the bricks segment and the overall group downward. This decline in overall gross
profit was offset by a smaller improvement of the overall gross profit percentage resulting from adjustments in the
coal segment pertaining to the royalties’ tax provision and the recognition of mining assets. These factors are not
expected to repeat themselves in subsequent years.

Operating expenses increased to R81,9 million (2016: R43,7 million) as a result of impairments made to the fixed
assets of the Donkerhoek operation amounting to R23,9 million.

Catch-up opex which had to be caught up in the 2017 financial year amounted to R3,6 million. Operating
expenditure (or income also affecting the operating expenditure line) relating to once-off expenses ("Once-off
opex") amounted to R6,9 million. When taking the Catch-up opex and once-off opex into account, a reduction on
expenditure is evident when compared to the 2016 financial year.

Interest earned during the period under review amounted to R1,7 million (2016: R3,1 million).

The reduction in interest earned resulted from the reduction in funds invested as these funds were used in
continuing to settle the debts of the company during the 2017 financial period in order to become fully compliant
with regards to previously unpaid liabilities.

Interest paid increased during the period to R13,8 million (2016: R13,5 million) as result of the ongoing accrual of
interest worth R1,6 million on historical debt, which will also not be repeated in future periods.

The group ended the financial period with an attributable profit of R4,2 million (2016: R32,8 million), resulting in
basic earnings per share of 0,7 cents (2016: 5,2 cents) and basic headline earnings per share of 4,6 cents (2016:
5,6 cents).

With the group's shares still being suspended pending application by the Brikor Board for upliftment of the
suspension, the number of shares in issue in the earnings per share equation remains static. The 2017 financial
year was, as expected to be the last year in which past inefficiencies were rectified and necessary historical
expenditure was brought up to date. The sustainable management practices, time pertinent and consistent
reporting in the subsequent financial periods promise to provide more valuable investor information.
Property, plant and equipment decreased to R89,8 million (2016: R109,2 million) as a result of:
 - the additions to buildings of R1,1 million (2016: Rnil)
 - the additions of plant and equipment of R18,7 million (2016: R16,7 million)
 - the additions of furniture and fittings of R1,2 million (2016: R0,3 million)
 - the additions of motor vehicles of R0,9 million (2016: R1,7 million)
 - the disposal of plant of R1,5 million (2016: R5,6 million);
 - the disposal of motor vehicles of R0,7 million (2016: R1,7 million)
 - impairments of reserves by R23,0 million (2016: Rnil)
 - depreciation of R14,4 million (2016: R16,7 million)
 -    impairments of assets prior to reclassification as held-for-sale by R1,3 million (2016: Rnil)
 - transfer of assets to assets held-for-sale of R3,5 million (2016: Rnil)
 - increase in decommissioning assets of R3,1 million (2016: decrease R0,4 million)

CHANGES IN THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMPANY SECRETARY

 Effective 30 June 2016, Hanleu Botha resigned as financial director;
 On 18 July 2016, Andre` Hanekom was appointed as executive and financial director;
 Effective 23 January 2017, Limpho Hani resigned as independent non-executive director;

 Effective 31 March 2017, Computershare Company Secretaries resigned as company secretary;

 On 1 April 2017, Fusion Corporate Secretarial Services were appointed as company secretary; and
 On 12 April 2017, Mamsey A Mokate was appointed as independent non-executive director.

Since Andre Hanekom has already been welcomed and he has been with us for the past few reporting
opportunities, the board is pleased to welcome Mrs. Mokate and Fusion Corporate Secretarial Services (Pty) Ltd
and look forward to their future contribution to the company.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The directors endorse and accept full responsibility for the application of the principles necessary to ensure that
effective corporate governance is practiced consistently throughout the group. Brikor is committed to the principles
of openness, integrity and accountability to all stakeholders and the board of directors accepts its duty to ensure
that the principles as set out in the King Report of Corporate Governance for South Africa – 2009 (King lll) are
implemented on an apply or explain basis.

With the board changes indicated above, the Brikor board now comprises seven directors of whom two are
executive, two are non-executive and three are independent non-executive.

PROSPECTS

Brikor management has placed extensive effort and resources throughout the 2017 financial year to streamline the
operations of the group, improve reporting quality, finalise prior year outstanding issues, reduce risks within
management control, improve internal controls and establish a healthy foundation to support future business
development. The Brikor Board is very positive and excited about the potential which can be unlocked from the
group given the fact that the balance sheet is improving consistently with the last major debts being the debts
outstanding to related parties and the South African Revenue Services. With the 2018 financial year being free of
challenges other than normal operational and industry challenges and considering the aforementioned together
with the results from the past periods, the Brikor Board now acknowledges and welcomes the need to re-formulate
the dynamic group strategy to maximise all stakeholder benefit. The focus on strengthening the group's black
empowerment status is high on the agenda.

*Other segment relates to non-segment specific cash and liabilities

Factors used to identify segments are based on geographical location and divisional structuring; this is also how the
group reports financial results to the chief operating decision-maker on a monthly basis.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the group’s accounting policies described in
note 1. Segment profit represents the profit earned by each segment without allocation of finance costs and
income tax expense. This is the measure reported to the chief operating decision-maker for the purposes of
assessment of segment performance.

Reportable segment revenue relates to external customers only. No single customer exists upon which the group
is significantly dependent on for revenue and revenue is derived solely from South African customers.
Other assets and liabilities

For the purposes of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between segments:

    •   all assets are allocated to reportable segments other than non-current assets held-for-sale, goodwill, tax
        assets, deferred tax assets and cash and cash equivalents.
    •   all liabilities are allocated to reportable segments other than general borrowings, shareholders’ loans,
        deferred taxation, taxation, bank overdraft and non-current liabilities held-for-sale.

4.1 Donkerhoek is a division of Brikor Limited (Company) and produces aggregates of a wide variety of sizes and
    technical specifications with products including stone, gravel and sand for large and small-scale civil
    engineering and infrastructure projects. As per management’s assessment the Donkerhoek division is a
    separate cash-generating unit. A cash generating unit is the smallest group of assets that generates cash
    inflows and that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

     The Donkerhoek division has been incurring significant losses in the current financial period and based on the
     losses an impairment trigger was identified. The recoverable amount of the Donkerhoek division was
     determined and an impairment of R 23.9 million was consequently recognised.

     The impairment was calculated by comparing the carrying value of the cash generating unit to the recoverable
     amount. The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and
     its value in use. The recoverable amount of the Donkerhoek division was determined based on the fair value
     less cost to sell as the fair value less cost to sell is higher than the calculated value in use of the division.

     The fair value of the Donkerhoek division was obtained from a purchase offer made by a third party. The fair
     value measurement was categorised as a Level 2 fair value based on the inputs such as market prices other
     than quoted prices.
     The impairment losses were allocated to reduce the carrying value of the reserves and mining rights.

    for-sale.

5. DEFERRED TAX ASSET / (LIABILITY)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if they relate to income tax levied by the same taxation authority on
either the same taxable entity or on different taxable entities within the same taxable group with the intent to settle
current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis. The deferred tax asset and liability relates to different taxable
entities and therefore the deferred tax asset and liability are disclosed separately.

The utilisation of a deferred tax asset that is recognised is dependent on future taxable profits in excess of the
profits arising from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences. The directors have approved the
Company's short term budget confirming profitable operations in the short term. This budget confirms the directors'
reasonable expectation that the company's profits, over the next five years, should at least equal the amount of the
recognised calculated tax losses in excess of the current existing taxable timing differences. Management based
their assessment on the latest approved budget as well as historical taxable profits that was generated by the
company during the past four years.

The calculated tax losses originated from loss making operations which were disposed of in the 2012, 2013 and
2014 financial years. At the end of the 2013 financial year the calculated tax loss amounted to R169,9 million
resulting in an unrecognised deferred tax asset to the value of R35,7million. The company has utilised R75,0 million
(44,1 %) of the calculated tax loss in the past four years from its’ continued operations which have all resulted in
taxable profits.

Due to the utilisation of the calculated tax loss from the past four years and the reasonable expectation of continued
future taxable profits, it has become more probable than not that the calculated tax loss of R94,9 million (resulting in
a deferred tax asset of R26,6 million) will be utilised, therefore management has raised the balance of the deferred
tax asset in the current year.

 10. OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
     On 5 July 2017 the auditors reported reportable irregularities to the Independent Regulatory Board of Auditors
     in respect on non-compliance with the Income Tax Act, No 58 of 1962, Mineral and Petroleum Resources
     Royalties Act, No 29 of 2008 and the Companies Act of South Africa. The particulars of the reportable
     irregularities relate to the following instances, which resulted in penalties and interest being charged to the
     group:

     • Non-submission of annual tax returns and non-timeous payment of provisional tax on due dates, as required
       by the Income Tax Act, No 58 of 1962;
     • Non-submission of returns and/or payment of Royalty Tax due to SARS, as required by the Mineral and
       Petroleum Resources Royalties Act, No 29 of 2008; and
     • Non-compliance with Section 30 of the Companies Act of South Africa in terms of preparing and approving of
       annual financial statements within six months after the end of its financial year.

     The directors are aware of the above and are in the process of taking corrective steps, particularly since the
     provisional liquidation of Brikor has been lifted to ensure that the relevant non-compliances are adequately
     ddressed. Full provision has been made in the reviewed condensed consolidated provisional financial
     statements for any related amounts due.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

   The directors are not aware of any material events, which occurred subsequent to the year ended 28
   February 2017 and which need adjustment or disclosure.

12. GOING CONCERN

   The directors have prepared their budgets and cash flow forecasts for the year ahead based on reasonable
   and supportable assumptions.

   The cash flow forecasts and current management results indicate that the company and its subsidiaries will
   operate as going concerns for the foreseeable future.

13. FAIR VALUE
   When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as
   possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used
   in the valuation techniques as follows.

   Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
   Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
   either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
   Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable
   inputs).

   Measurement of fair values
   Non-current assets held for sale (Level 2):
   The market comparison technique was used for determining the fair value of the non-current assets held for
   sale. The fair value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less
   the estimated cost to sell (refer note 2 for detail).
