CHANGE STATEMENTS
The audited annual financial statements contain changes to the previously published preliminary reviewed
condensed consolidated results for the year ended 31 December 2025 and which were released on SENS on
5 February 2026 ("reviewed financial results").
The changes made are as follows:
1) The change arose from finalisation of an impairment assessment carried out on a project in terms of
IAS 36, Impairment of assets. The project entails the construction of a gas treatment plant to
address the impact of the group's coke making operations and is recognized within property, plant
and equipment, as assets under construction. The recoverable amount of the capitalized project
costs to date was determined to be lower than the carrying amount, based on the conclusion that the
original footprint of the project had reduced subsequent to the closure of the majority of the group's
coke making operations. The project costs have therefore been impaired by R112 million.
The reviewed financial results overstated property, plant and equipment of the group by R112 million
and the retained loss of the group was understated by R112 million. The loss for the year was
understated by R112 million. The loss per share changed from 260 cents per share to 270 cents per
share, headline loss per share remained unchanged at 301 cents per share.
2) The change arose from reclassification of a financial asset based on the definition of cash and cash
equivalents in terms of IAS 7, Statement of cash flows, given that on closer scrutiny of the nature of
the asset, being fixed deposits with a maturity of more than 12 months, it was concluded that the
asset is not considered liquid and should therefore not be presented as cash and cash equivalents,
but rather as other non-current financial assets.
The reviewed financial results understated non-current other financial assets of the group by R315
million, and the cash, bank balances and restricted cash of the group were overstated by R315
million. The reviewed financial results understated cash flows utilised in investing activities and net
decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of the group by R315 million, and the cash,
cash equivalents and restricted cash at the end of the year of the group were overstated by R315
million. The reclassification from current assets to non-current assets had no impact on loss for the
year, and therefore no change was made to the loss or headline loss per share.
3) The change arose from reclassification of the non-current portion of a working capital loan, received
from the IDC in 2024, following a cross-default with the BBF Loan agreement, given that the group's
liabilities exceed its assets at 31 December 2025. The default had the result that the full outstanding
amount became payable on demand, resulting in the non-current portion of R630 million being
reclassified to borrowings under current liabilities, in accordance with IFRS 9, Financial instruments.
The reviewed financial results overstated non-current liabilities of the group by R630 million, and the
current liabilities of the group were understated by R630 million. The reclassification from non-
current liabilities to current liabilities had no impact on loss for the year, and therefore no change
was made to the loss or headline loss per share.
4) The change resulted from a reclassification of finance costs to other operating expenses following
closer scrutiny of certain costs included in the finance costs line item.
The reviewed financial results understated other operating expenses and loss from operations of the
group by R37 million, and the finance costs of the group were overstated by R37 million. The
reclassification from finance costs to other operating expenses had no impact on loss for the year,
and therefore no change was made to the loss or headline loss per share
The adjustment affected the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Comprehensive Income,
Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity as noted in the tables below.
