Comment
The group operating result improved in the quarter compared to the prior
quarter and the equivalent quarter last year. The Forest Products business,
supported by strong pulp prices and a slightly weaker currency, generated
most of the operating profit. The Fine Paper business, while profitable,
has not yet achieved acceptable margins and returns.
Demand for coated fine paper globally was firm in the quarter; however,
apparent consumption growth in Europe and North America was lower than in
recent periods.
Raw material input costs remain high. There has been some moderation in
North America and Southern Africa but upward pressure continues in Europe.
Coated fine paper prices in Europe have drifted downwards for the last 5
years and despite concerted reductions in our operating costs, the
combination of higher prices for our inputs and lower selling prices has
depressed margins. To counteract this we implemented a price increase on
stock orders in Europe in December and continue to implement increases on
all other graphic paper business in January.
Group sales were approximately US$1.3 billion for the quarter, an increase
of 7.8% compared to a year ago as a result of a 3% increase in sales of
pulp and paper, improved pricing and currency movement which resulted in an
increase in the European business` sales when reported in US Dollars.
The operating profit for the quarter increased to US$92 million, largely as
a result of the contribution of the Forest Products business. The
plantation fair value price adjustment for the quarter was a pre-tax gain
of US$29 million compared to US$10 million a year ago.
Finance costs for the quarter were US$37 million, which was at the same
level as the prior quarter but up US$10 million year on year as a result of
higher interest paid (higher debt and floating rates) and the change in
fair value of financial instruments.
The high effective tax rate is a result of unrelieved tax losses in certain
countries; in addition taxation for the quarter included Secondary Tax on
Companies of US$8.5 million which relates to the dividend declared during
the quarter.
The profit after tax for the quarter was US$30 million compared to a break-
even in the equivalent quarter last year. Earnings per share were 13 US
cents for the quarter.
Cash flow and debt
Cash generated by operations was US$152 million for the quarter,
approximately 25% up on a year ago. We recorded a US$39 million increase in
working capital which was significantly less than the US$80 million
increase last year.
Capital expenditure increased to US$138 million for the quarter. We had a
number of upfront payments in respect of the Saiccor expansion in the
quarter. We aim to manage capital expenditure over the full year to avoid a
material increase in debt over the year.
Net debt increased by US$165 million to approximately US$2.3 billion during
the quarter of which US$73 million was a result of currency translations.
Net debt to total capitalisation increased to 46.7% in December from 46.4%
in September.

Each of the Fine Paper businesses generated operating profits during the
quarter; however, the returns are still far from acceptable. Our focus is
on reducing unit costs and achieving appropriate price increases.

Our sales volume for the quarter grew approximately 6% year on year. The
average price achieved in Euro terms was only marginally up on the prior
quarter despite the December stock price increase as a result of product
and geographic mix. The Euro strengthened 8.5% relative to the equivalent
period last year.
The upward pressure on many of our input costs has continued in the
quarter.
In particular pulpwood costs have continued to rise sharply as a result of
demand for wood for use as subsidised "green" fuel.
Higher prices for purchased pulp had an impact of US$7 million on operating
profit for the quarter compared to the equivalent quarter last year. (This
is a regional impact as the group as a whole is a net seller of pulp.)

The volume of paper sold increased by approximately 5% for the quarter. In
addition we achieved strong growth in pulp sales compared to a year ago,
resulting in an overall increase of 8%.
Market conditions remain very competitive with continued pressure on
prices. Average prices achieved were marginally up compared to a year
earlier.
Although input costs remain high, we have achieved reductions in wood,
energy and certain other input costs.

The business had strong demand for its products and sales volumes for the
quarter increased 10% year on year. Average prices achieved in Rand terms
have increased over the last year partly due to the weaker Rand.
Margins remain under pressure as a result of high input costs, particularly
purchased pulp.

The forest products business had a strong performance despite the lower
sales volume compared to the equivalent quarter last year. Part of the
shortfall in volume is the result of timing of export shipments relative to
the period end and lower sales by the Kraft business. We expect to catch up
some volume in the next quarter. The strong pulp prices and weaker currency
contributed to the operating profit. Operating profit also included US$29
million of plantation fair value price adjustment compared to US$10 million
a year ago. The manufacturing performance of the Kraft business has
improved and has considerable scope for further gains. Usutu Mill continued
to perform well during the quarter.
Demand for chemical cellulose remains strong and Saiccor continues to
perform well. Good progress has been made on the expansion at Saiccor Mill;
however, there has been pressure on civil construction costs because of
high demand in the South African construction industry.
Directors
Klaas de Kluis retired as a non-executive director of the group in December
2006 on reaching the mandatory retirement age.
Outlook
The industry continues to record high global operating rates for coated
fine paper. The combination of strong expected consumption growth, capacity
closures and limited new capacity additions indicate that operating rates
should remain high.
We have implemented price increases in Europe which are essential to
restore margins after 5 years of declining coated fine paper prices and 2
years of input cost escalations.
Pulp prices continue to be strong.
We expect earnings in the next quarter to improve compared to this quarter
(excluding unpredictable fair value adjustments).

notes to the group results
1. Basis of preparation
The condensed quarterly financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
including International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial
Reporting. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the quarterly
results are compliant with IFRS and consistent with those used in the
annual financial statements for September 2006. A recent accounting
interpretation IFRIC 4: Determining whether an arrangement contains a
lease, is still being evaluated. No changes to previous disclosures on
application of this interpretation have been made. At this stage it is not
envisaged that the impact of any adjustment required will be material to
the results of operations.

definitions
Average - averages are calculated as the sum of the opening and closing
balances for the relevant period divided by two
* EBITDA - earnings before interest (net finance costs), tax, depreciation
and amortisation
* EBITDA to sales - EBITDA divided by sales
Fellings - the amount charged against the income statement representing the
standing value of the plantations harvested
Headline earnings - as defined in Circular 7/2002 issued by the South
African Institute of Chartered Accountants, separates from earnings all
items of a capital nature. It is not necessarily a measure of sustainable
earnings. It is a listing requirement of the JSE Limited to disclose
headline earnings per share
NBSK - Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft pulp. One of the main varieties of
market pulp, mainly produced from spruce trees in Scandinavia, Canada and
north eastern USA. The NBSK is a benchmark widely used in pulp and paper
industry for comparative purposes
* Net assets - total assets less current liabilities
* Net asset value - shareholders` equity plus net deferred tax
* Net asset value per share - net asset value divided by the number of
shares in issue at balance sheet date
* Net debt - current and non-current interest-bearing borrowings, and bank
overdrafts (net of cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits)
* Net debt to total capitalisation - Net debt divided by shareholders`
equity plus minority interest, non-current liabilities, current interest-
bearing borrowings and overdraft
* ROE - return on average equity. Profit (loss) for the period divided by
average shareholders` equity
* RONA - operating profit divided by average net assets
* RONOA - operating profit divided by average net operating assets. Net
operating assets are total assets (excluding deferred taxation and cash)
less current liabilities (excluding interest-bearing borrowings and bank
overdraft)
* SG&A - selling, general and administrative expenses
* The above financial measures, other than headline earnings per share, are
presented to assist our shareholders and the investment community in
interpreting our financial results. These financial measures are regularly
used and compared between companies in our industry.

(1)In connection with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules
relating to "Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures", we have
reconciled EBITDA to net profit rather than operating profit. As a result
our definition retains non-trading profit/loss and minority interest as
part of EBITDA. EBITDA represents earnings before interest (net finance
costs), taxation, depreciation and amortisation. Net finance costs
includes: gross interest paid; interest received; interest capitalised; net
foreign exchange gains; and net fair value adjustments on interest rate
financial instruments. See the Group income statement for an explanation of
the computation of net finance costs. We use EBITDA as an internal measure
of performance to benchmark and compare performance, both between our own
operations and as against other companies. EBITDA is a measure used by the
group, together with measures of performance under IFRS and US GAAP, to
compare the relative performance of operations in planning, budgeting and
reviewing the performances of various businesses. We believe EBITDA is a
useful and commonly used measure of financial performance in addition to
net profit, operating profit and other profitability measures under IFRS or
US GAAP because it facilitates operating performance comparisons from
period to period and company to company. By eliminating potential
differences in results of operations between periods or companies caused by
factors such as depreciation and amortization methods, historic cost and
age of assets, financing and capital structures and taxation positions or
regimes, we believe EBITDA can provide a useful additional basis for
comparing the current performance of the underlying operations being
evaluated. For these reasons, we believe EBITDA and similar measures are
regularly used by the investment community as a means of comparison of
companies in our industry. Different companies and analysts may calculate
EBITDA differently, so making comparisons among companies on this basis
should be done very carefully. EBITDA is not a measure of performance under
IFRS or US GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or construed as a
substitute for operating profit or net profit as an indicator of the
company`s operations in accordance with IFRS or US GAAP.
(2)The EBITDA calculation has been amended to eliminate the adjustment for
fellings which previously resulted in fellings being added back in the
calculation as part of amortisation. Given the current accounting treatment
of plantations, management has concluded that eliminating such an
adjustment would be more appropriate in determining the EBITDA performance
measure in future both for internal and reporting purposes. Prior year
figures have been recalculated for comparison purposes as follows: December
2005 quarter: decrease by US$17 million; September 2006 quarter: decrease
by US$19 million.
