Unaudited Interim Results for the six months ended 28 February 2011
DIRECTORS` REVIEW
Commentary on financial results
Net asset value at the end of the interim period was 103 cents per share (2010:
92 cents per share) which represents an increase of 34% since the August 2010
year-end and 12% since the previous interim period. The directors believe that
the net asset value is a robust but conservative estimate of the value of the
company.
The statement of financial position reflects minimal gearing and sufficient cash
on hand and debt capacity to add new investments during the remainder of the
financial year. The group has weathered the economic hardships of the past few
years and should benefit from any economic upswing while being financially
strong enough to weather future turbulence and take advantage of any
opportunities which arise during such periods.
The biggest change in the statement of financial position is the reduction in
the non-controlling interest which arose from the purchase of further shares in
Club Mykonos Langebaan Limited ("CML") during the period as a result of the
scheme of arrangement referred to below. CML was an 87%-held subsidiary at the
end of the interim period (from 34% at year-end).
Earnings per share amounted to 2.9 cents (2010: 10.6 cents). The reduction in
earnings was mostly a result of income from the sale of buildings in the
Boulevard Park Trust being accounted for in the prior period which were not
repeated in the current period. The group does not have a high component of
annuity earnings and profits generated from the realisation of investments are,
by their nature, lumpy and inconsistent. Investments are conservatively valued
and it is likely that the sale of such investments at the right time will
generate values which are higher than the carrying value. However, the timing of
the realisations is dependent on market conditions and will not occur in an even
pattern.
The group`s operations generated a trading loss of R6.5 million (2010: loss of
R3.7 million). The economic value added in the underlying portfolio is not
fully reflected in the statement of comprehensive income. Most of the gain in
net asset value during the period was taken directly to equity in the statement
of financial position and is not reflected in current income.
The statement of cash flow shows an amount of R25.7 million for cash utilised in
operations. This figure includes an adjustment of R40.2 million which is a non-
cash item in respect of a profit on change in shareholding of a subsidiary. This
results in an overstatement of cash outflows used in operations. In effect cash
generated from operations was a positive R14.5 million.
There were no changes to the board of directors during the period under review.
Commentary on individual investments
Club Mykonos Langebaan Limited
For further information see www.clubmykonos.co.za
CML`s operations have been restructured to a level appropriate for the current
level of economic activity. The CML group made a profit of R4.1 million during
the six-month period. Future growth at CML is heavily dependent on the state of
the property market on the West Coast which remains subdued, but the land
available for development and sale is well located and should generate good
returns. The Mykonos Casino continues to trade well and maintained its overall
profitability in its most recent financial year ended December 2010.
During the current financial year CML entered into a scheme of arrangement with
its shareholders in terms of which Trematon purchased a further 53% of the
ordinary shares in CML, taking its total holding to 87%. This is the biggest
single investment made by Trematon during the period and is expected to yield
good long-term returns once the property market recovers.
Faircare Trust
For further information see www.faircare.co.za
The market for retirement village units is partially dependent on the related
market for ordinary residential units because many retirement unit purchases
are funded by the sale of residential homes. Faircare Trust ("Faircare") has
performed according to expectations in the current period and we are confident
that the embedded value in the contractual agreements in the retirement villages
will prove to be profitable in the long run.
Village management is focused on ensuring that the level of service in the
villages is of the highest possible standards and that our reputation for
world-class health care is maintained and enhanced over time. Since Faircare
maintains an interest in the long-term capital value of the retirement units,
it provides us with an incentive to invest in the village infrastructure and
to ensure that the villages remain well managed with satisfied residents. The
short-term cost of this investment is beneficial to the villages and should
yield good returns as the capital stock improves in value over time.
Other investments
The group has an indirect stake of 7.2% in Mazor Group Limited and a small
direct and indirect minority stake in Grand Parade Investments Limited ("GPI").
The holding in GPI was increased during the period.
For further information see www.mazor.co.za and www.grandparade.co.za
The group also trades in a variety of listed shares and takes short-term
positions from time to time.
Direct property investments
Boulevard Park Trust
The group owns an effective 37.5% interest in the Boulevard Park Trust, which
in turn owns 49% of the Boulevard Office Park. The park is now 94% let, mostly
to blue-chip tenants and occupies a high visibility position adjacent to one of
the main access routes to the CBD. Loans due to Trematon from the Boulevard
Park Trust at the end of the period amounted to R21.9 million (2010: R67.6
million) and further repayments are anticipated during the remainder of the
financial year. This project was brought on stream at an unfavourable time for
the general market, but the low level of vacancies and quality of the rent roll
bear testimony to its appeal as an AAA office park and future growth in the
equity value of the investment is assured.
Other
Loans due from the New Wembley Trust amount to R11.2 million although Trematon
no longer has an equity interest in the venture. The repayment of this loan is
expected to take place shortly.
Subsequent event
Trematon has entered into agreements in terms of which it has acquired a 50%
interest in a property loan stock company with joint venture partners, Brian
Goldberg and Ilan Kaplan. As an initial investment the joint venture has
acquired five properties with a total extent of 20 975 m2 ("the properties")
for a total purchase consideration of R90 million. Details of this transaction
were published on SENS on 31 March 2011.
Prospects
The group has made substantial investments in existing subsidiaries during the
period and new investments as detailed above since the end of the period.
Several further opportunities are under investigation and the trading portfolio
is becoming more active. Economic activity is not yet at a level where high
short-term returns from these assets can be anticipated but the board is
confident that we have made purchases at good entry prices which will reward
shareholders in the years to come.
No interim dividend has been declared but a final dividend is anticipated in the
absence of adverse circumstances.

NOTES
1. Presentation of annual financial statements
Trematon Capital Investments Limited (the "company") is a company domiciled
in South Africa. The consolidated financial statements of the company for
the period ending 28 February 2011 comprise the company and its
subsidiaries (together referred to as the "group") and the group`s interest
in jointly controlled entities.
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), IAS 34: Interim
Financial Reporting, AC 500 Standards as issued by the Accounting Practices

All significant accounting policies have been consistently applied to all
periods presented and throughout the group.
The consolidated interim financial statements are stated in Rands, which is
the company`s functional and presentation currency.
The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS

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

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 the period
of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and
future periods.
