The increase in net asset value primarily reflects increases in the rand value of the shares held in Intec Telecom plc and the linked units held in Spearhead Property Holdings Limited. The headline profit per share of 12,5 cents compares with the headline profit of 13,5 cents for the year ended 31 August 2004. Prior to this year, Trematon"s major asset was its shareholding in Intec Telecom Systems plc. During the second half of the year the company entered into a material transaction to acquire 1,7 million linked units in Spearhead Property Holdings Limited at a price of 2 150 cents per linked unit. The purchase consideration of R36,6 million was settled by the issue of 66,5 million new Trematon shares at 55 cents per share. Details of the transaction, which was approved by the shareholders in a General Meeting on 18 July 2005, are contained in the circular issued on 24 June 2005. The circular also made reference to a proposed rights issue to raise further capital. Subsequent to the year end, Trematon has disposed of sufficient Spearhead linked units in the open market to ensure that the Group has sufficient cash on hand for its short-term requirements. Accordingly, the directors have resolved to postpone a rights issue until such time as the company requires additional funding. DIRECTORS The board of directors was reconstituted during the year. Messrs NA Labuschagne, M Farrer, MG Meehan, RE Sherell, P Ditz, AJF Mundell and RB McElligott resigned as directors whilst Messrs M Kaplan (Chair man), AM Louw and R Stumpf were appointed as non-executive directors and Messrs A Groll and AJ Shapiro as executive directors. We extend our sincere appreciation to the previous chairman, Dr NA Labuschagne, and to the former Board for their able stewardship of the company. PROSPECTS The company is currently investigating a number of potential investments in both listed and unlisted companies. Shareholders will be informed of any material transactions into which the company enters. ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and the accounting policies are consistent with those applied in the previous financial year. REVIEW BY AUDITORS The company"s auditors, KPMG Inc. have reviewed these results. Their review opinion is available for inspection at the company"s registered office. APPROVAL BY DIRECTORS The directors of Trematon have approved the reviewed results for the year ended 31 August 2005.
