7. Effect of early adopting IAS19 (issued in
June 2011)
The company decided to early adopt the
amended IAS19, issued in June 2011,
retrospectively. According to the revised IAS
19, actuarial gains and losses are renamed
"remeasurements" and will be recognised
immediately in other comprehensive income.
The use of the corridor method, as previously
applied, is no longer permitted. The revised
standard has introduced the new concept of
net interest on the net defined benefit
liability (assets) and the ways in which the
net interest is determined, represents a
major change to the existing IAS 19. Under
the revised standard, the return on plan
assets is estimated on the basis of the
discount rate of the liability, rather than
the expected rate of return of plan assets,
as in the past.

Commentary
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The reviewed condensed provisional consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 29 February 2012 ("the year") have been prepared in accordance
with the framework concepts and the recognition and measurement criteria of
the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the disclosure and
presentation requirements of IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, the AC 500
standards as issued by the Accounting Practice Board, the Listings
Requirements of the JSE Limited and in the manner required by the South
African Companies Act. The accounting policies and method of computation
applied in preparation of these reviewed condensed provisional consolidated
financial statements are consistent with those applied in the audited annual
financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2011, save for the early
adoption of the amended IAS19: Employee benefits, issued in June 2011. The
retrospective effect of the early adoption of the amended IAS19 is disclosed
in note 7.
The reviewed condensed provisional consolidated financial statements have
been prepared under the supervision of the Financial Director, HP Verreynne
BCompt (Hons) CA (SA).
INTRODUCTION
The reviewed condensed provisional consolidated financial results for the
year reflect ongoing improvement despite the slow paced recovery in the
general business environment. However, the group`s performance was boosted by
the benefits of strategic initiatives in previous years aimed at "growth from
diversification" (see Financial Results below).
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenue for the year increased by 16,6% to R996,1 million from R854,5
million. Headline earnings increased by 16,2%, translating into headline
earnings per share of 62,6 cents (2011: 53,3 cents).
Glen Douglas Dolomite was included for the full 12 months of the year,
compared to inclusion for only two months since acquisition in the previous
year`s financial results.
OPERATIONAL REVIEW
Afrimat`s key division, "Mining & Aggregates", benefited from increased
volumes mainly due to its entry into industrial minerals through the Glen
Douglas Dolomite mine. Volumes from the traditional aggregates market were
sustained at similar levels to the previous year.
Glen Douglas Dolomite contributed well in line with expectations and good
progress has been made in terms of the turnaround strategy of the mine. The
group`s strategy to differentiate itself through geographic distribution and
product offering proved to be a good hedge against the volatility associated
with its traditional markets.
"Concrete Products" performed well, enjoying higher volumes and steady
pricing also generated by government housing projects.
"Readymix" benefited from higher demand from government housing projects.
However, intensifying price competition in the Western Cape, where the market
is still feeling the strain of the economic slowdown, had a negative impact
on the division`s overall performance.
BUSINESS EXPANSION AND ACQUISITIONS
New business development remains a key component of the group`s growth
strategy. The dedicated business development team continues to successfully
identify and pursue opportunities in existing markets as well as in areas
where high growth is projected.
Acquisition: Clinker Group
As previously announced, the acquisition of the Clinker Group became
unconditional with effect from 1 March 2012. Afrimat acquired 100% of the
issued ordinary share capital of S.A. Block (Pty) Limited and its 100% owned
subsidiary Clinker Supplies (Pty) Limited (jointly referred to as the
"Clinker Group").
Afrimat is excited about the scale of the potential opportunity of this
acquisition. The Clinker Group has complementary and supplementary strengths
to those of the Afrimat group. Leveraging these combined strengths will
result in new revenue opportunities in line with the group`s long-term
diversification strategy.
BEE
Existing BEE shareholders and Afrimat`s black employees together hold in
aggregate 26,12% of Afrimat`s issued shares. Notwithstanding a fully
empowered ownership platform, the group remains dedicated to enhancing all
aspects of B-BBEE on an ongoing basis.
DIVIDEND
A higher final dividend of 13,0 cents per share (2011: 11,0 cents) was
declared for the year on 14 March 2012 and paid on 10 April 2012. This is in
line with the group`s current dividend policy of three times cover. The final
dividend was based on estimates utilising unaudited management accounts for
the year.
The total dividend (interim and final) for the year is 19 cents per share
(2011: 17 cents per share).
PROSPECTS
While ongoing recovery of the business environment is expected to remain
slow, benefits should devolve from government`s planned infrastructure spend.
In addition, Afrimat should benefit further from its investment in industrial
minerals through the Glen Douglas Dolomite operation and its acquisition of
the Clinker Group. In light of these activities "Mining & Aggregates" are
expected to remain the dominant driver of growth in the future.
Initiatives aimed at expanding volumes, reducing and managing costs and
improving efficiencies will be a key focus in all operations during the new
financial year. These initiatives, supported by ongoing product
diversification in attractive growth sectors such as industrial minerals and
open cast mining, should see volumes increase.
AUDITOR`S REVIEW
The condensed provisional consolidated financial statements for the year have
been reviewed by the company`s auditors, Mazars. Their unmodified review
opinion is available for inspection at the company`s registered office. Their
review was conducted in accordance with ISRE 2410 "Review of interim
financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity".
