REVIEWED PROVISIONAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY
2021

 - Revenue from continuing operations up 62% to R558.7 million

 - Profit from continuing operations down 76% to R20.1 million

Vunani’s performance for the year ended 28 February 2021 was significantly affected by decrease in
performance in the insurance segment and the loss from the discontinued operations. The
insurance segment was affected by significant negative fair value adjustments to its insurance
liabilities of R67.9 million compared to R4.2 million in the prior year, as well impairments of
intangible assets of R41.1 million (2020: R nil). The loss from the discontinued operations of R20.2
million (2020: R19.4 million) is result of negative fair value adjustments to the private equity assets.
As a result of this Vunani generated total loss for the year of R0.2 million (2020: profit of R39.5
million), while total profit attributable to equity holders of the company amounted to R20.7 million
(2020: R35.9 million).

The group's reporting segments include fund management, asset administration, insurance,
investment banking (advisory services and institutional securities broking) and private equity (other
investments and commodities trading) which have been included under discontinued operations.
