The open pit mining profile at Somkhele requires that waste overburden be
removed from the pit before coal may be extracted. This overburden removal is
capitalised to the development cost of the open pit (so called "pre-stripping")
and is then expensed on a units-of-production basis as the coal is extracted
from the open pits.
The comparative results for the anthracite division for the periods ended 31
December 2008 and 30 June 2009 include the results of Springlake. Springlake
was sold on 29 June 2009. The table below depicts the anthracite division`s
operating performance for the comparative periods with Springlake shown

The anthracite segment revenue comprises a combination of local sales
denominated in Rands and export sales predominantly denominated in US Dollar
s. At 31 December 2009, Petmin had $1 million hedged at an average rate of
R9.91/USD1.00. These hedges were closed out on 22 January 2010. Subsequent to
31 December 2009, Petmin has entered into zero cost collar and cap hedges for
$9.9 million which represents approximately 50% of anticipated export revenue
to June 2010. These hedges protect a downside of R7.60/$1.00 and with caps
ranging from R7.7854/$1.00 to R8.2862/$1.00. Management continues to monitor
the foreign exchange rates and may enter into new hedges to secure Rand profit
levels as the opportunity arises.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
for the six months ended 31 December 2009
1. Reporting entity
Petmin is a company domiciled in South Africa. The condensed consolidated
interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the six months ended
31 December 2009 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred
to as the "Group") and the Group`s interest in associates.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorised for
issue by the directors on 1 March 2010.
2. Statement of compliance
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and the presentation and disclosure
requirements of IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting and the South African
Companies Act. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not
include all of the information required for full annual financial statements
and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial
statements for the year ended 30 June 2009, which are available upon request
from the Company`s registered office at Parc Nouveau, First Floor, Block C, 225
Veale Street, Brooklyn, Pretoria or at www.petmin.co.za.
3. Significant accounting policies
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared on the
historical cost basis, except for financial instruments which are stated at
fair value, where applicable, in terms of IAS 32 - Financial Instruments:
Disclosure and Presentation and IAS 39 - Financial instruments: Recognition and
Measurement.
The accounting policies have been applied consistently by Group entities and
have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed
consolidated interim financial statements.
Functional and presentation currency:
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Rands, which is the
Company`s functional currency. All financial information presented in Rands has
been rounded to the nearest thousand.
4. Estimates and judgements
The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 -
Interim Financial Reporting requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated
assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making the judgements about carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the
estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period
of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and
future periods.
The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group`s
accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same
as those applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the
year ended 30 June 2009.
5. Review of results
The results of the Group as set out above have been reviewed by the Group`s
auditors, KPMG Inc. The review report is available for inspection at the
Group`s registered offices.
6. Earnings per ordinary share
Earnings per ordinary share ("EPS") are based on the Group`s profit for the
period, divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the

Management commentary
(i) Operations
The 2009 calendar year has been the most difficult year experienced in Petmin`s
history. Despite the turmoil in the worldwide financial markets and its
consequential impact on the world commodity markets, Petmin generated a profit
before tax of R66 million and cash from operating activities of R113 million.
Normalised headline earnings per share from continuing operations increased by
10% from 7.55 cents to 8.28 cents.
The management teams at SamQuarz and Somkhele have settled in well and, in line
with Petmin`s six pillar strategy, act as "owners" of their business units.
Revenue for the six months ended 31 December 2009 was R215 million (2008: R490
million) and gross profit was R87 million (2008: R115 million). The decreased
revenue and gross profit is largely due to the exclusion of the results of
Springlake Colliery in the current period and reduced sales volumes due to the
slowdown experienced in the world economy in the latter half of calendar year
2009. In the six months to 31 December 2008, the Group`s revenue excluding
Springlake was R295 million.
Management is pleased to report that the operating margin achieved in the six
months to 31 December 2009 was 30% (2008: 19%). This is as a result of
effective cost management, improved prices achieved at Somkhele and due to the
disposal of the less profitable Springlake Colliery.
In the six months to December 2009, the Company consolidated its financial
position in anticipation of difficult financial and operational conditions in
this period and reduced its production and capital expenditure programmes
accordingly, resulting in a healthy balance sheet position at 31 December 2009.
At 31 December 2009, Petmin had R145 million cash on hand (30 June 2009: R91
million), its interest bearing debt to equity ratio was 8.90% (30 June 2009:
9.97%) and it had unutilised banking facilities of approximately R150 million
bearing interest at or below prime and currency hedging facilities of $50
million.
The operations remained cash generative and cash of R113 million (2008
excluding Springlake: R125 million; 2008 including Springlake: R165 million)
was generated by the operations in the six months to 31 December 2009.
Capital expenditure of R56 million (2008: R170 million) was incurred in the six
months to 31 December 2009. The reduced capital spend reflects the reduced
development expenditure requirement at Somkhele as the Phase 1 development of
Somkhele is complete. The main areas of capital expenditure were capital
pre-stripping of the open pits at Somkhele of R27 million (2008: R80 million),
road and infrastructural development at Somkhele and pit development
expenditure at SamQuarz.
In the six months ended 31 December 2009, Petmin acquired 6 653 180 (2008: 4
869 390) of its own shares at an average price of 188 cents per share (2008:
200 cents per share).
Anthracite division
Somkhele anthracite mine and Petmin Logistics
In the first three months of the period under review, the anthracite market was
severely curtailed with the local ferrochrome industry reducing production by
90% due to a significant reduction in demand in the export market. However,
with signs of the economic recovery emerging, we are pleased to report that the
local market demand is now almost at levels last seen before the worldwide
financial crisis and the export market demand has improved significantly.
Profit before tax and impairment charges was R47 million, a reduction of R20
million compared to 2008. If Springlake is excluded from the comparative
period, Somkhele`s profit before tax and impairment charges increased by R12
million over the comparative period. This improved profitability is as a result
of improved cost control and due to improved volumes and prices achieved in the
latter part of the period under review.
Silica division
SamQuarz silica mine
SamQuarz produced 607 140 (2008: 815 235) and sold 547 359 (2008: 902 513)
tonnes of silica and chert in the six months ended 31 December 2009.
Revenue reduced by R28 million or 28% to R73 million (2008: R101 million) due
to a 39% reduction in sales volumes in the period under review. Reduced sales
volumes of silica rock to the metallurgical industry (down 24% from 2008) and
of lower value chert to the metallurgical and construction industry (down 64%
from 2008) were the main drivers behind the reduced revenues generated.
The silica division`s margins improved from 26% in 2008 to 30% in the period
under review due to the changed sales mix and, as a result, the division`s
profit before tax was R22 million, down only 14% from the R26 million despite
the 39% reduction in sales volumes for the six months to 31 December 2008.
Capital expenditure of R5 million (2008: R10 million) was focused on the
development of the open-pit to ensure safe mining conditions and to ensure
continued supply of correct quality material to customers.
Iron ore project division
During the six months under review, Veremo finalised a core drilling and core
sampling programme together with a trenching campaign as part of a final
geological scoping study. The infill drill programme covered high priority
areas identified from previous drilling campaigns with the aim of delineating a
SAMREC-compliant measured resource for the weathered zone.
This drilling programme has delineated an updated measured resource of 44.3
million tonnes (previously 11.6 million tonnes) in the weathered zone of the
ore body. This weathered material is easier and cheaper to mine and process
than the fresh ore and as a result, additional weathered material is beneficial
to the project economics.
The following SAMREC compliant Resources were calculated by MSA Geoservices
(Pty) Limited for the weathered portion of the Resource:

(ii) Prospects
Anthracite division
The outlook for the anthracite market has significantly improved for the
remainder of the calendar year to 30 June 2010. The demand for our product in
the inland market is at our production capacity and the outlook for the export
market has also improved, with the division currently negotiating an export
contract for an additional 100 000 tonnes for the calendar year 2010 and a
domestic contract for approximately 120 000 tonnes per annum for three years at
market related prices. With the current sales profile, the production for the
2010 calendar year is almost fully committed.
Management is investigating various projects with a view to expand the
anthracite division and create new markets. This may lead to a decision to
build a second coal processing plant in order to double the existing production
capacity at Somkhele to 1.2 million sales tonnes per annum.
Silica division
Management expects SamQuarz to maintain profitability levels to 30 June 2010.
Capital expenditure is forecast to increase in the six months to 30 June 2010
to R17 million as the development expenditure in the open-pit is incurred to
secure sufficient production to meet future customer demand. Included in the
R17 million is capital expenditure of R7.5 million to be spent to make a slip
in the highwall of the pit safe for future mining operations.
Iron ore project division
Veremo is considering the consolidation of the Veremo management team whose key
tasks will be to procure a bankable feasibility study and to submit a mining
right application for the project.
The presented Weathered Resource at Veremo, determined over the entire strike
length and currently subdivided into 5 structural domains, is to be reviewed
and re-calculated according to the layout of individual mining blocks. This
exercise will require mine planning/engineering input and an assessment of the
potential processing and mining costs to constrain unit costs, cut-off grades,
stripping ratios, etc.
(iii) Building a world class mining company
We have created an excellent platform for growth. Our disciplined
entrepreneurial approach combined with the operating excellence achieved at our
current operations is an ideal base from which to launch and execute our growth
strategy. The objective of this strategy is to significantly increase the size
of Petmin and to provide superior returns to our shareholders.
