Review
Revenue and operating and administration costs during the reporting
period have increased by 21.0% and 21.4% respectively. The increase
in revenue is most pleasing in light of the Group`s long term growth
strategy. Operating and administration costs have increased in line
with revenue notwithstanding the increases in fuel and labour related
costs. Other overhead costs relating to business establishment of
new contracts gained, an increase in the wage costs which was higher
than inflation and a provision raised for bad debt of R4.7 million
created for a loan owing by an associate company, have contributed to
a decrease in earnings per share of 32.7% and headline earnings per
share of 59.2%.
The decline in earnings is further compounded by the Group`s high
effective tax rate that reflects certain losses incurred in
subsidiary companies for which no deferred tax assets have been
raised, and the reallocation in the current period of the fair value
adjustment to owner occupied property to the asset revaluation
reserve, which was expensed in the prior year.
The Group continues with its plan of disposing of non-operating
assets to enable cash generation for further capital expansion and
acquisition opportunities. Further non-core assets have been
impaired and re-classified to `non-current assets held for sale` with
the intention of disposing of them within the next 12 months.
Finance income has decreased by 28.4% and finance costs have
increased by 8.7% respectively. The reduction in finance income is
due to lower interest rates and the increase in finance costs is in
line with increased capital expenditure.
Prospects
The Group remains positive about the coming financial year and
expects its new contracts to generate the required level of returns.
A major restructure of the agricultural operation`s management team
was also implemented during the current period and this is expected
to lead to improved results, however, weather patterns remain a
significant risk. The Group`s long term strategy of growth remains a
key focus initiative.
Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 28 February
2011 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Listings
Requirements of the JSE Limited. The condensed consolidated
financial statements do not include all the information and

The accounting policies applied in the current year are consistent

Financial Statements (Amended) and Improvements to IFRSs (April
2009).
