The New Africa Investments Limited Share Incentive Trust was created by New Africa Investments Limited to facilitate the exercise and distribution of proceeds relating to share options which were exercised by employees as part of the TISO Consortium acquisition of NAIL in 2003. This trust was not previously consolidated. All options were settled, however, a slight delay in the payment of the settlements arose and interest accrued during this period resulting in excess funds in the trust. The excess funds have been consolidated and a corresponding provision has been raised. Based on the aforementioned, the comparative figures have been restated to reflect the consolidated cash and related provision of R0.703 million at 31 December 2010. There is a nil impact on retained earnings and no changes to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income nor to the statement of changes in equity. There is a nil impact on basic and diluted earnings and headline earnings per share. Borrowings and non-controlling interest * The borrowing from the Industrial Development Corporation was provided to Wild Coast Films (Proprietary) Ltd to fund the production of a film and was repayable only out of proceeds arising from that film. In terms of IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, such a financial liability, which is carried at amortised cost, is reassessed and adjusted for changes in expected cash flows over the life of the liability. This film was written down to a net realisable value of nil prior to the year ended 31 December 2008, however, the borrowing was not reassessed. The expected cash flows payable in settlement of the borrowing were therefore also nil and consequently, this liability (although not extinguished), should have been remeasured to nil. As a result, the comparative figures have been restated to reflect the liability at nil and a resultant increase in retained earnings of R9.172 million. In terms of IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (as revised 2003), a debit non-controlling/minority interest is recognisable only when the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses. No such binding obligation existed and, consequently, the comparative figures have been restated to reverse the debit minority interest of R9.172 million which had been recognised. The revised provisions of the current IAS 27 are not applied retrospectively and therefore do not impact the restatement. There is an overall net nil impact on retained earnings and no change to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. There is an overall nil impact on basic and diluted earnings and headline earnings per share. CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN EQUITY Attributable to owners of the

RELATED PARTIES Major shareholders: Primedia (Proprietary) Limited ("Primedia") which owns 76.1% of the ordinary shares and 95.8% of the "N" ordinary shares; and Capricorn Capital Partners Investments (Proprietary) Limited ("Capricorn"), which owns 21.6% of the ordinary shares and 3.9% of the "N" ordinary shares. The Company, prior to the acquisition by Primedia and Capricorn in February 2009, was controlled by the TISO Consortium, which owned 90.3% of the ordinary shares and 99.3% of the "N" Ordinary Shares. The TISO Consortium includes Investec, Tiso Group, Capricorn Capital Partners, Mineworkers Investment Company and Safika Investments.

OTHER RECEIVABLE The KFM Agterskot receivable, due from Primedia, is in terms of the disposal agreement for KFM Radio (Proprietary) Limited, which was sold by NAIL in 2004 and is due as a result of KFM`s successful challenge of SARS` decision to disallow its R50 million trademark deduction in terms of Section 11(gA) of the Income Tax Act. During February 2011, KFM agreed to a write off period of 18 years for the deduction, in settlement of the dispute with SARS. During the six months to 31 December 2011, the receivable was fully settled. COMMENTARY BASIS OF PRESENTATION This condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months ended 31 December 2011 has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and the disclosure requirements as outlined in IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, and in compliance with the Listing Requirements of the JSE Limited and the South African Companies Act (2008), on a basis consistent with that of the prior period. ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2011, as described therein. REVIEW OF RESULTS The performance for the period reflects the results of the Group`s single operating segment, its 24.9% interest in Kaya FM (Proprietary) Limited and administrative expenses incurred, primarily in relation to the Company`s listing on the JSE. RETURN OF CASH TO SHAREHOLDERS Advance Agterskot payment In terms of the offer made in 2009 by Primedia and Capricorn, NAIL shareholders had the option of accepting the Once-off Offer Consideration of 68 cents per NAIL share or the Agterskot Offer Consideration which comprised the Initial Cash portion of 26 cents per NAIL share plus the Agterskot Amount (which includes the receipt by NAIL of additional KFM disposal proceeds). Following the settlement of a tax dispute relating to KFM`s trademark deduction, NAIL received a second additional purchase consideration from Primedia which amounted to R11.041 million (2011: R18.782 million). Consequently, former NAIL shareholders who accepted the Agterskot Offer Consideration and sold their shares in terms of the 2009 Offer were entitled to an Advance Agterskot payment of 12.67 cents (2011: 11.44 cents) per NAIL share, which was paid, via a dividend, to current shareholders on 28 October 2011 who in turn settled the amounts owing to the former NAIL shareholders. The total amount of the Advance Agterskot payment (including interest of R0.45 million thereon) was R16.043 million (2011: R14.486 million). Dividend A dividend of 12.67 cents per share was declared to shareholders registered on 21 October 2011. The total amount of the dividend (excluding STC thereon) was R 16.043 million (2011: R22.286 million). GOING CONCERN The going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial information. The directors have no reason to believe that the Group will not be a going concern in the year ahead, based on forecasts and available cash resources. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Unclaimed dividends On 28 February 2012, the directors passed a resolution, in terms of the NAIL memorandum of incorporation to prescribe unclaimed dividends of R25 671 relating to dividend number 5, which was declared on 13 February 2009 (2011: R 166 164). Change in directorate Mr R Kevan, a non-executive director, resigned from the board with effect from 27 February 2012.
