Commentary
Highlights:
- the finalisation of a supply agreement with Sinoma International Engineering
Company Limited, the largest manufacturer of cement plants in the world, in
April 2009;
- the commissioning of Sephaku Cement`s fly ash plant in September 2009,
positioning the company as a fully fledged retail competitor;
- the completion of a bankable feasibility study on the Fluorspar Project and
approval of an environmental impact assessment for the Delmas cement plant in
October 2009;
- the disposal of Sephaku Holdings gold and nickel assets to Mandra Capital and
private investor Mong Seng Wu in January 2010 for R80m as the first step in
creating a more focused industrial minerals company.
Events after reporting period:
- The board has taken a strategic decision to reorganise the assets of the
Sephaku Holdings group in order to present a more defined and focused investment
opportunity to the market. Accordingly, subject to approval by the Department of
Mineral Resources, Sephaku Holdings shall dispose of all the shares it holds in
its subsidiaries, other than those subsidiaries with interests relating to
cement and fluorspar, to a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, Incubex
Minerals Ltd. Subject to shareholders` approval, Sephaku Holdings intends to
distribute to shareholders all of the issued shares in Incubex in the ratio of
one Incubex share for every ten Sephaku Holdings shares in the form of a
dividend in specie.
- Dangote Industries Ltd ("Dangote") has agreed to invest an additional amount
of R779m of equity into Sephaku Cement to achieve an aggregate shareholding in
Sephaku Cement of 64%, resulting in Dangote acquiring control of Sephaku Cement.
Dangote has already advanced an amount of R75.6m to Sephaku Cement during June
2010 as a convertible loan, which loan amount will be deducted from the total
subscription amount. The loan will be converted to Sephaku Cement shares during
October 2010, once all regulatory and formal shareholder approvals have been
obtained regarding the total proposed investment by Dangote.
Outlook:
The forthcoming year will see the company consolidate its position as one of
South Africa`s leading emerging industrial minerals exploration and development
companies, with plant construction under way and production drawing closer The
continued strategic realignment of the Sephaku Holdings group will provide
clarity to shareholders and the market at large.
Commentary on the financial results:
The Sephaku Holdings group incurred a loss of R90m for the 16 months ended 30
June 2010, which includes an R86m loss incurred by the Sephaku Cement group. The
loss also includes Sephaku Cement employee costs of R66m incurred for the ramp
up of staff required for the ash processing plant and the cement manufacturing
project.
Material additions to property, plant and equipment consist of the cement
manufacturing plant (Aganang Project) of R93m, the ash processing plant (Kendal
Project) of R53m and R18m spent on the purchase of the remaining extent of
Portion 22 of the farm Witklip no 232 (76,9004 ha). All the properties were
revalued by an independent sworn appraiser resulting in an R103m increase in the
carrying value.
Additions to intangible assets of R46m relates for the most part to costs
incurred on the Fluorspar Project.
Annual general meeting:
The company`s 4th annual general meeting will be held at the Centurion Lake
Hotel, 1001 Lenchen Avenue, Centurion on Thursday, 11 November 2010 at 10h00.
