REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND INTERIM GROUP RESULTS
The results for the period under review were unsatisfactory and disappointing.
The adverse gross margin of R10,9m is mainly attributable to an unfavourable
stock variance, disruptions in production and consequent excessive overtime due
to strike actions, the costs of new pattern testing as noted below and a
national shortage of bentonite (a key input in the castings process).
The protracted strike occurred at a critical stage of supply of new products to
new customers. The need to meet the company`s obligation for reliable delivery
and quality necessitated extended overtime amounting to R6,2m.
The stock take at 30 September 2011 revealed an unexpected adverse stock
variance of 500 tons of produced goods to a value of R5,4m. Management, together
with the internal auditors are investigating the reasons and causes of the
variance, including the possibility of theft.
During the period under review, 106 new patterns compared to a norm of 3 to 4
per month were requested, made and delivered, highlighting the success of the
drive to broaden the product and customer base. New patterns demand extensive
management time and testing on the production line, representing an investment
for the future viability of the business. The research and development costs and
the cost of lost time for normal production as a result of this process amount
to some R7,4m.
Prospects/The future of Guestro
Despite the setbacks described above, the board continues to believe that,
amongst the options available to the company, the strategy adopted to
reconfigure the product and customer base holds the greatest prospect for
preserving value for shareholders in the medium term. The turn-around, which
envisages a broader customer base, requiring quality products, capable of
efficient manufacture at high utilisation of existing capacity, is underway and
is closely monitored.
Net asset value as at 30 September 2011
The net asset value per share as at 30 September 2011 at 233 cents per share is
82 cents lower than the 315 cents per share as at 31 March 2011.
The net asset value is mainly attributable to cash, Guestro Castings, the Benoni
Property, Corporate Head Office less the historical employee benefit
liabilities.
The net asset value at 30 September 2011 can be summarised as follows:
Benoni property R40, 6 million or 120 cents per share
Casting business R32, 2 million or 95 cents per share
Cash R43, 8 million or 129 cents per share
Less:
Net employee fund liabilities R23, 4 million or -69 cents per share
Other net corporate liabilities R14, 1 million or -42 cents per share
Total net asset value R79, 1 million
The net asset value does not consider the possible impact of Secondary Tax on
Companies (STC). Due to the assessed tax losses and capital losses within the
relevant corporate entities, the Group is not expected to pay Income Tax or
Capital Gains Tax in the foreseeable future.
Segmental reporting
The primary segment during the period was general engineering. In terms of the
geographical segment, general engineering is considered to be a South African
operation. Due to the fact that the whole business is considered as one
segment, no segmental reporting has been provided.
Subsequent events
There have been no matters which are material to the financial affairs of the
Company or the Group that have occurred between the balance sheet date and the
date of the approval of the interim results.
Basis of preparation
The results for the six months ended 30 September 2011 have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), IAS 34 -
Interim Financial Reporting, the AC 500 Standards, the Companies Act and the
Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited. The accounting policies are consistent
with those applied in the prior comparative period.
The preparation of the group`s consolidated results for the six months ended 30
September 2011, was supervised by BD Bhikha, the Financial Director.
