RESTATEMENT
The JSE Limited ("JSE") has commenced a process to pro-actively monitor
annual financial statements ("AFS") of companies listed on the JSE. The
integrity of financial information is a critical element of a well
functioning market and the review process will contribute to the production
of quality AFS. The 2010 AFS of RBA were selected for review.
The review identified an amount of R2, 909, 271 reflected in the statement of
changes in equity that represents an error in the accounting treatment of
investment in associates in the prior years. In 2006 loans were extended to
associate companies and the associates made losses. RBA accounted for its
share of the losses in profit or loss. The losses eliminated the initial
loans and RBA continued to account for its share of the losses in the 2006
and 2007 financial years. In terms of IFRS the recognition of these losses
should have been limited to the initial loans made. Management and the
auditors at the time were of the opinion that the correct accounting
treatment was being applied. The associates became subsidiary companies in
the 2010 financial year and have now been fully consolidated. The review also
identified that the employee share trust was not consolidated in the AFS as
required by IFRS SIC 12 `Consolidation Special Purpose Entities`. In addition
the review identified items relating to the presentation of the 2010 and 2009
statement of cash flows.
The audited restatement of the 2010 and 2009 annual results relates to the
items identified by the JSE review.

The directors are satisfied with the outcome of the JSE review and thank the
JSE for the productive manner in which the review was handled. The items
identified by the JSE relating to disclosure in the notes to the 2010 AFS
will be remedied as part of RBA`s 2011 AFS included in the group`s integrated
report.
OVERVIEW
Established in 1997, RBA is a supplier of affordable homes in Gauteng,
Polokwane and Kwa-Zulu Natal. The business focuses on 2 distinct areas:
* Supplier of homes to individual end users and mining groups
* Building of a rental portfolio
In the segment report above, the results of housing for mining groups has
been included under the property development activities. The reason therefore
is that these business focus areas are fundamentally similar.
Our business model encompasses the complete property development process viz.
the acquisition of land, town planning, project management of services
installation, marketing, sale/rental and construction of quality affordable
homes.
REVIEW OF 2011 RESULTS
The results for the 2011 financial year reflect a substantial improvement in
the group`s profitability and financial position despite the fact that market
conditions were challenging for the residential property development
industry.
RBA is pleased to announce an increase in revenue of 62% compared to the
prior reporting period. HEPS for the period increased to 2.16 cents per share
(2010 - loss 4.94 cents per share).
The group`s operating expenses from property development activities increased
by 5% against the prior comparative period, mainly attributable to increased
marketing spend and inflationary pressures during the period.
No bonuses were paid to any group executives or senior management.
The group achieved an attributable profit of R3,9 million (2010: R13,3
million loss, 2009: R30,3 million loss) for the year. The net asset value of
the group at 31 December 2011 was 15,36 cents (2010 - 13,65 cents, 2009 -
22,32 cents) per share.
Stands held for trading consist of land available for residential housing
development. In accordance with IFRS this inventory was not revalued to
market value. At 31 December 2011 its market value based on external
valuations obtained, exceeded book value by approximately R 20 million. It is
the view of the directors that this factor should be taken into account when
considering the real net asset value of the group. When considering RBA`s
level of gearing, this additional value should also be taken into
consideration.
During the year 26,400,000 shares were issued to public shareholders at 15
cents per share, raising R3,9 million. 15,693,775 shares were issued to the
management share incentive scheme and 3,000,000 shares previously held by the
scheme were cancelled.
Description of normalised earnings
Headline earnings are adjusted to take into account the non operational
requirements set out in the SAICA Circular 08/07 - Headline Earnings (issued
February 2008) in terms of which all amounts and adjustments relating to
items of investment properties are excluded in headline earnings. However the
directors are of the view that the revaluations of the rental portfolio
should be taken into account when determining the normalised earnings for the
group.

As at 31 December 2011, RBA was awaiting responses in respect of 325
applications for end user finance that had been submitted to various
financial institutions. Based on recent strike rate`s of deals submitted that
are ultimately approved for end user finance, it is anticipated that 30% of
these applications will be approved.
As at 31 December 2011, 379 bond applications were approved and were awaiting
registration. 160 of these deals are in project areas that are currently
being serviced and will register in the second six months of 2012.
Although sales activities have increased, the work in progress figures
remained stable year on year due to the fact that efficiencies have been
introduced to ensure that work in progress translates into registrations and
ultimately completed houses in a shorter period of time.

equivalent houses actually completed during the period.
The key indicator of improvement in the group`s performance year on year is
demonstrated by the data reflecting the "Equivalent houses completed" during
the 12 month period ended 31 December 2011 which amounts to 613 houses as
opposed to 379 houses for the period ending 31 December 2010.
Corporate Governance
In keeping with its commitment to adhere to the corporate governance
principles in King III, David Wentzel stepped down as chairman of the Board
and Leon Theron, previously an independent non executive director of RBA, was
appointed by the Board as an independent non-executive chairman effective 23
March 2011.
With the objective of strengthening the board, Kutoane Kutoane, Mpho Hlahla
and Lyndon Kan were appointed as independent non-executive directors
effective 1 September 2011.
Land
The group has secured 4629 stands zoned as residential 1 (freehold) and 2657
opportunities zoned as residential 3 (sectional title) at various stages in
the township establishment process.
Rentals
Our rental portfolio consisting of 176 sectional title units in Protea Glen,
Soweto remains well managed. Construction on the next rental project
consisting of 148 units commenced in October 2011. National Housing Finance
Corporation Ltd has committed funding to the value of R39 million to this
project.
Marketing
In our target markets the RBA brand remains a trusted supplier of affordable
homes. Since inception RBA has built in excess of 7,900 homes. Anticipated
marketing strategies in 2012 will boost our sales pipeline and continue to
improve brand awareness.
Production
Our construction teams performed well given the increased production levels.
No problems are being experienced with plan approvals, council connections
and NHBRC enrolments. The group had 191 houses under construction at 31
December 2011.
Human capital
Staff turnover remains low and we are committed to ensuring that RBA remains
an employer of choice. At 31 December 2011 the workforce consisted of 219
employees.
Health and Safety
The group has maintained its exceptional safety record and was fatality and
serious injury free during the 2011 period.
Green Policy
The group is committed to operating our business in an environmentally
friendly manner. A social and ethics committee was established in 2011 and is
tasked with, amongst other matters, improving and monitoring our "green
policies".
PROSPECTS
The financial recovery of the group continues and the directors anticipate a
further improved 2012 financial year.
Indications are that the appetite of banks towards lending in the affordable
housing sector will remain at current levels.
The cash flow position of the group remains under pressure but is gradually
improving as our pipeline of approved sales is unwound.
The medium to long term prospects for the group remain positive due to the
following factors:
* The historic shortage of housing in South Africa remains a problem;
* Government has recently announced new criteria for individuals to
qualify for housing subsidies. People earning up to R15,000 a month will
now qualify for housing subsidies;
* Government has recently announced an initiative to provide a R1 billion
fund that National Housing Finance Corporation will manage. The
intention with this fund is to assist end users in securing home loans.
* Indications are that household indebtedness is slowly reducing, which
broadens the potential client base RBA can access;
* The group has the land, sales, administration and production capacity to
meet forecasted demand; and
* The affordable housing market is a focal point of the major commercial
banks.
DIVIDENDS
No dividend has been declared. The dividend policy of RBA will be reviewed
annually in light of RBA`s cash flow, gearing and capital requirements.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance arising since the
end of the period, which significantly affects the financial position of the
group or the results of its operations as presented in these results.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act of South
Africa. The accounting policies used to prepare these financial statements
are consistent with those applied at the previous financial year end.
AUDIT REPORT
The annual financial statements have been audited by RBA`s Auditors, Logista
CA (SA) Inc. Registered Auditors. The auditor`s unqualified audit report is
available for inspection at the Company`s registered office.
APPRECIATION
The group recognises the value of its management teams and staff and thanks
them for their loyalty and work ethic during the year. We also thank our
bankers, suppliers, business partners, advisors, clients and shareholders for
