Pre-tax cost of debt 9.0% # 10%
Target debt:equity ratio 30:70 # 30:70

merchandising model.
- Timber prices: The market selling prices are unchanged from those
used in the year ending 30 June 2010.
- Operating costs: The costs are based on unit cost of the forest
management activities required to enable the trees to reach the age
of felling. These costs have been reviewed and updated to the latest
applicable amounts.

------------------------------------
In September 2009 the Group discontinued certain of its less
efficient sawmilling operations as part of a restructuring exercise.
A third plant was mothballed and set aside for possible future use.
The start-up cost relating to the third mill becoming operational
again has not been included in the current figures and will be
expensed if and when the start-up occurs.
The sawmill plants that were affected are:
a) Roburnia Sawmill Closed
b) Golden Rhino Lumber Mothballed
c) Madiba Mill Closed
These plants were still operational at 30 June 2009 and closure of
these operations occurred in the 2010 financial year. The assets and

COMMENTARY TO THE FINANCIAL RESULTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010
-----------------------------------------------------------------
COMPANY DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------
York Timber Holdings Limited is an integrated timber company with
operations in Mpumalanga in South Africa. York processes its own
timber, grown on 67 000 hectares of plantations, through its five
processing plants.
RESULTS
------------------------------------
In the period under review York produced solid operating results
and made satisfactory progress on the achievement of its goals,
as set out in the 2010 annual report. In a challenging market
environment, York worked to stabilise operations and its
restructuring plans are now implemented.
- Revenue increased by 21%
- Operating profit increased from R12 million for the six months
ended December 2009 to R68 million
- Cash generated from operations was R84 million for the six month
period
- Earnings per share increased from a loss of 135 cents to a profit
of 2 cents
- Headline earnings per share of 6 cents (2009: loss of 141 cents)
- Net asset value per share of 599 cents (2009: 520 cents)
A focus on optimisation across the organisation and the streamlining
of the various cost structures were the key drivers in achieving these
results. York is driven to further reduce costs to ensure that the
Company remains competitive.
York has invested in enhancing the skill set within the organisation
and continues to look for further expertise to support the growth
strategy of the Company.
York maintained its status as a level 4 BBBEE contributor.
YORK`S PLANTATION ASSET
------------------------------------
York adopted the discounted cashflow method in calculating the fair
value of its biological assets. This method incorporates forward
looking assumptions to illustrate the underlying plantation value.
York manages the biological asset according to a high level of
compliance to environmental standards. All York`s plantations
are Forest Stewardship Council certified.
Despite the number of fire incidents being higher than the previous
period, no major losses were experienced. The actual number of
hectares affected was significantly lower due to the implementation
of more stringent fire prevention methods.
The sustainability of the plantation is being enhanced through
accelerated replanting of the 2007/2008 fire damaged areas.
Temporary unplanted areas decreased by 1 868 hectares.
PROSPECTS
------------------------------------
York believes that the performance during the first six months of
the 2011 financial year can be sustained. This prospect is not a
forecast and has not been reviewed or reported on by York`s auditors.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
------------------------------------
The Board is in the process of reviewing and, where relevant,
implementing the King III Code.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
------------------------------------
Dr Azar Jammine was appointed as an independent non-executive
director to the Board on 5 October 2010. Mr Paul Botha and
