OVERVIEW
This is the fourth year of Sekunjalo Investments Ltd`s (SIL) listing on the JSE
Securities Exchange South Africa (JSE). The restructuring
plan and growth model, implemented by the Group two years ago, has resulted in a
significant improvement in earnings for the year
under review.
Group Financial Overview
The results show a steady but significant improvement in the group`s
performance:
* Headline earnings for the group were R16,918 million (2001: R184 000)
* Group turnover: R346,013 million (2001: R270,125 million)
* Operating profit: R49,207 million (2001: R18,301 million)
* Headline Earnings per share of 19.07 cents ( 2001: 0.21 cents)

REVIEW OF INVESTMENTS
Sekunjalo Industrial Investments: Premier Fishing SA (Pty) Ltd
Premier Fishing is the only large major black controlled and managed fishing
company in South Africa. Under MD, Mohamed Kajee, the company has restructured,
resulting in greater operational efficiency and improved earnings.
The allocation of four-year rights has brought welcome stability to the
industry. Premier Fishing has been a significant beneficiary, due to its strong
BEE credentials. The four-year rights allocation, has facilitated further
capital investment and allowed the company to develop a long-term plan for a
sustainable approach to fishing resources. The company`s strong presence in
South and West Coast lobster contributed significantly to export income. The
depreciation of the Rand for most of the last financial year and premium export
prices contributed to the strong financial performance.
The company has a number of strong brands: South Atlantic Lobster as the export
brand, Redro and Pecks Anchovette fish spreads and Seagro organic fertiliser.
Premier Fishing is well positioned to continue with this strong performance due
to the following:
* The allocation of four-year rights;
* The global demand for lobster;
* The increased local demand for canned pilchards;
* The high global demand for fish meal;
* Growth in the fish spreads and organic fertiliser brands; and
* The consolidation of alliances in the industry.
Sustainability
Premier Fishing shares the commitment of government towards a sustainable
approach to fishing resources. The stringent manner in which government has
dealt with companies that illegally exceeded quotas, is positive. Of major
concern is the poaching of abalone, which has resulted in a significant
depletion of this resource. The company is committed to developing the abalone
resource and has invested in an abalone aquaculture farm.
Sekunjalo Health Care Ltd (SHC)
Sekunjalo Health Care, under the leadership of Dr Vincent Msibi, has experienced
challenging times. The health care environment remains a highly competitive one,
due to the dominance of a few major companies. While SHC remains one of the
largest black health care companies in the country, the reluctance of financial
institutions to support black health care companies has limited its growth. This
has affected the ability of SHC to compete effectively in the marketplace with
established health care companies.
Sekpharma (Pty) Ltd
Sekpharma (Pty) Ltd is the pharmaceutical subsidiary of SHC. Its product range
includes well-known dermatological brands such as Dermovate and Betnovate,
asthma medication such as Becotide, Becloforte, Volmax as well as anti-
microbials such as Fortnum.
Sekpharma continues to build on its relationship with multinational
pharmaceutical companies as part of an aggressive expansion strategy aimed at
gaining significant market share in future. The acquisition of 17 pharmaceutical
dossiers from Glaxo Smith Kline has given the company a solid base from which to
grow its pharmaceutical business.
Promex (Pty) Ltd
Promex, one of the largest manufacturers of syringes and needles on the African
continent, remains the dominant supplier to government. Promex is the market
leader in the manufacture and supply of strongly branded hypodermic syringes,
needles and related products. It has developed world-class efficiency at its
plants, that allow it to compete with some of the world`s low-cost producers. Of
concern is the dumping by multinationals of medical consumables on the Southern
African market, potentially reducing employment and job creation.
Rapimed (Pty) Ltd
Rapimed with its branded product, Uricheck, is the market leader in the
manufacture and distribution of rapid diagnostic products. Products include
HIV/AIDS rapid diagnostic kits, pregnancy and malaria diagnostic kits. Rapimed
continues to export to Africa, the Middle East and South America. The
introduction of ISO 9002 certification will provide the opportunity to export
into the European market.
Health System Technologies (Pty) Ltd (HST)
The successful implementation of the health systems information technology
tender in the Provincial Administration of the Western Cape hospitals of Groote
Schuur, Tygerberg and Red Cross Childrens Hospital is an example of the success
of a black company in implementing one of the most sophisticated health
technology systems worldwide. Through this tender, HST, is able to provide the
government with health IT systems to better manage hospitals and assist in the
quality of health care delivery. It is well positioned to obtain further tenders
in the public and private health care sector.
SEKUNJALO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Sekunjalo Enterprise Management Technology (Pty) Ltd (Semtech)
Semtech is a niche software product developer, specialising in manufacturing
workflow and web accounting. The company continues to make progress in
developing software for the agri-chemical industry and warehouse control
management industries.
GROUP PROSPECTS
The growth model implemented by SIL will enable it to consolidate and improve
its performance in the future. The prospects for Premier Fishing as a result of
the four-year rights allocations and the increased focus on pharmaceuticals by
Sekunjalo Health Care will position the group to deliver a good performance in
the year ahead.
Sekunjalo and its advisors are engaged in discussions to recover a substantial
portion of its investment in LeisureNet Ltd.
The audited results have been prepared in accordance with South African
Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. Accounting policies
applied are consistent with those applied in the previous year. These results
have been audited by the group`s auditors, Fisher Hoffman PKF (Newlands)
Incorporated, and their unqualified audit opinion is available for inspection at
the company`s registered office.
APPRECIATION
The solid performance of the group would not have been possible without Dr
Wallace Mgoqi, whose wise counsel is sincerely appreciated, as is the vital
contribution of the directors of SIL and subsidiary companies, the executive
management team and staff.
