BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The reviewed condensed consolidated results for the year ended 29 February 2012
("reviewed results") have been prepared in accordance with and containing
information required by International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim
Financial Reporting, the AC 500 standards issued by the Accounting Practices
Board and in compliance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited. The
review has not been performed in terms of the requirements of the Companies Act,
71 of 2008, as amended. The reviewed results are prepared on the historical cost
basis, with the exception of certain financial instruments and land and
buildings which are measured at fair value. The accounting policies are in terms
of the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and the method of
measurement and recognition applied in preparation of the reviewed results are
consistent with those applied in the group`s audited annual financial statements
for the previous year ended 28 February 2011.
These results have been compiled under the supervision of the Chief Financial
Officer, D Quinn, CA (SA), B.Sc.Econ.
Auditor`s review
The results have been reviewed by the group`s auditors, Mazars. Their
unqualified 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".
Group profile
Stefanutti Stocks, a leading construction company, operates throughout South
Africa, sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East with multi-disciplinary expertise
including concrete structures, marine construction, piling and geotechnical
services, all building works, concessions (Public-Private Partnerships), roads
and earthworks, mine residue disposal facilities (mainly tailings dams), open-
pit contract mining, mechanical and electrical installation and construction, as
well as power line transmission and distribution construction. Stefanutti Stocks
holds a Grade 9 rating from the South African Construction Industry Board
ensuring unlimited tender capability. The group is currently a Level 3 B-BBEE
contributor.
COMMENTARY
Overview of results
The board of Stefanutti Stocks hereby presents the group`s reviewed results for
the year ended 29 February 2012. The effect of an extremely competitive trading
environment coupled with a volatile global market is clearly reflected in the
accompanying group`s results. The reduction in profits is a consequence of a
market defined by delayed contract awards, contract cancellations, lower margin
projects and some loss-making contracts. The results are nonetheless
satisfactory under the circumstances. Contract revenue of R8,0 billion (Feb
2011: R6,9 billion) shows an increase of 15,9% over the previous year.
However operating profit before investment income decreased by 18,8% to R359
million (Feb 2011: R442 million), while profit after tax for the year reduced by
20,7% to R264 million (Feb 2011: R333 million).
Earnings per share of 153,2 cents (Feb 2011: 193,6 cents) and diluted headline
earnings per share of 140,6 cents (Feb 2011: 176,0 cents) decreased by 20,9% and
20,2%, respectively. As at 29 February 2012, Stefanutti Stocks had successfully
increased its order book to R8,6 billion (Feb 2011: R6,4 billion).
The group`s interest-bearing liabilities have increased to R392 million from
R254 million due to additional funding required for capital expenditure mainly
by the Roads & Earthworks and Mining Services Business Units and the expansion
of the group`s offices, resulting in greater depreciation and finance costs. The
increase in provisions arose from the increased contract activities and nature
of certain contracts.
The group generated R900 million (Feb 2011: R306 million) from its operating
activities during the year of which R804 million (Feb 2011: R41 million) was
consumed by working capital, as a result of an increase in trade receivables and
work in progress balances. The group`s lower cash balances earned less
investment income, but notwithstanding the increasing pressure on working
capital, cash on hand of R891 million (Feb 2011: R1,1 billion) exceeds total
interest-bearing debt, resulting in a nil net gearing position.
All properties have been revalued in terms of the accounting policy of the group
resulting in a gain on property as reflected in other comprehensive income of
R25 million, and the recognition of an impairment of R3 million in profit for
the year.
Material related party transactions are disclosed in the segment information.
Review of operations
Structures
The Structures Business Unit remains the largest contributor in terms of
earnings to the group with its activities encompassing civil engineering,
geotechnical and marine capabilities. The Structures Business Unit delivered a
sound performance, given the prevailing difficult market conditions.
Year-on-year contract revenue increased strongly by 22,1% to R2,5 billion (Feb
2011: R2,1 billion) accompanied by a small increase in operating profit to R181
million (Feb 2011: R177 million). Profit margin declined from 8,5% to 7,1% as a
result of fierce competition for current tenders and the completion of certain
profitable legacy contracts in the prior year. Tender margins remain below
historic levels due to this competitive market.
Within the Structures Business Unit, the Civils and Geotechnical divisions
continue to retain market share, whilst the Marine division is now well-
positioned to explore opportunities along the entire sub-Saharan coastline.
Work at the R650 million Grootegeluk Medupi Expansion project is now progressing
well and the two marine projects in Durban harbour for Transnet to the value of
R270 million are under way.
Looking ahead, confidence levels in the civil industry and in particular large
concrete projects in South Africa, are currently at a low level and we expect
this situation to improve only slightly in the short to medium term.
Although the market is expected to remain extremely competitive, short term
opportunities in marine and mining infrastructure work will be followed in sub-
Saharan Africa. Surface infrastructure work in the oil and gas projects in
neighbouring countries is also expected to provide further opportunities in the
medium term.
The Business Unit continues to build on current capabilities allowing the group
to enter large multi-disciplinary projects with a full service offering focused
on niche markets.
Structures held an order book of R2,3 billion (Feb 2011: R2,4 billion) at year-
end.
Roads & Earthworks
Roads & Earthworks operates in the construction of roads, bulk earthworks,
mining infrastructure and rehabilitation, fibre optics, terraces for new
developments and municipal services.
Contract revenue of R868 million (Feb 2011: R846 million) remained fairly
constant year-on-year despite delays in contract awards and competitive market
conditions. Operating margins however decreased from 12,9% to 8,5% as a result
of extremely competitive trading conditions.
The lack of public sector and infrastructure project spending made trading
conditions very difficult for the Roads & Earthworks business and the decline in
margin is the direct result of increased competition resulting in projects being
secured at lower margins.
The Business Unit has recently secured the extension and upgrade of two road
projects in Gauteng to the value of R480 million.
Because of the current limited work flow in this sector, greater emphasis has
been placed on broadening the Roads & Earthworks geographical footprint in the
rest of Africa. A number of mine infrastructure and road project opportunities
have been identified.
Over the medium to long term, the recently announced national and provincial
road construction and maintenance plan by Government is expected to stimulate
the Roads sector of the construction market.
The Roads & Earthworks Business Unit has already secured an order book of R1,4
billion (Feb 2011: R700 million) at year-end.
Effective from 1 March 2012 the Roads & Earthworks and Mining divisions will be
combined to form the REM Business Unit and future reporting will reflect this.
In addition, the recently acquired Cycad Pipelines business will also be
incorporated into and reported on by this Business Unit.
Mining Services
The Business Unit includes mine residue disposal facilities and open pit
contract mining and structural steel, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation
and power line transmission and distribution operations.
A pleasing increase in contract revenue, from R702 million to R951 million
(35,4% increase) was however offset by an operating loss of R5 million (Feb
2011: profit R43 million) which was very disappointing. This is a result of
competitive trading conditions, restructuring costs, and certain loss-making
contracts, which were concluded during the second half of the year. The benefits
of the restructuring undertaken during the year are only expected to be
evidenced in the next financial year.
The Mining division has recently secured a contract mining project from Ikwezi
Mining Limited in KwaZulu-Natal. The contract is a greenfields project to
establish an open cast coal mine in the Newcastle area. The project commenced
during May 2012 for an estimated period of 50 months. The total project value is
expected to exceed R1,0 billion.
The Mechanical and Electrical divisions are well-positioned to take advantage of
anticipated mining infrastructure expansion, whilst the Power division should
benefit from Eskom`s power line transmission and distribution expansion
programme.
The order book for Mining Services closed at R786 million (Feb 2011: R600
million).
Building
The Building Business Unit delivered a solid performance despite extremely
aggressive market conditions to increase contract revenue by 11,1% from R3,3
billion in the previous year to R3,6 billion for the current year. Overall
operating profit of R121 million (Feb 2011: R116 million) remained constant, but
profit margins are slightly lower than last year having decreased from 3,5% to
3,3%. The results of this Business Unit are in line with management`s
expectations.
The Building market in South Africa remains particularly competitive and the
Business Unit continued to expand its operations in the SADC region, notably in
Mozambique, Angola and Botswana where the group has established offices. The
multi-disciplinary nature of the Stefanutti Stocks group has provided further
opportunities for the Building Business Unit in South Africa and SADC.
Work at the Cecilia Makiwane Hospital joint venture, outside East London (R800
million), is progressing well and site establishment at the Fairscapes office
tower (R400 million) in Gaborone has commenced.
Conditions remain subdued in the Middle East although there are early signs of
an improving market in certain areas. Albeit a small part of the overall
business, the group has identified this as a potential long-term growth area.
The Building Business Unit had an order book of R4,1 billion (Feb 2011: R2,7
billion) at year-end.
Health and Safety
Stefanutti Stocks maintained its safety performance for the year ended 29
February 2012 with a Disabling Frequency Rate of 0,23 (Feb 2011: 0,22).
Providing a safe and healthy work environment for all employees, contractors and
other stakeholders is a major cornerstone of our operations. The group remains
committed to elevate safety standards for all employees across all disciplines.
Management continues to strive not only to meet specifications but also to
improve on client`s health and safety requirements.
Acquisitions
With effect from 1 March 2012, the group acquired 100% of Cycad Pipelines
Proprietary Limited, a specialised pipeline infrastructure construction company
and its related operations ("Cycad Pipelines"), at a cost of R261 million. This
acquisition is in line with the group`s growth strategy to broaden its service
offering in the construction sector.
In terms of IFRS 3: Business Combinations the initial accounting for the
acquisition has only been determined provisionally, as the Purchase Price
Allocation including the final purchase consideration, has not been completed.
The carrying value of assets and liabilities, as noted in the table below, are
based on unaudited amounts and approximate the fair value of assets and
liabilities before acquisition.

Acquisition-related costs 1 910
The goodwill arising on acquisition is attributable to the ability to access the
pipeline construction market in which the group did not have a presence, as well
as acquiring a well-established and reputable company with a skilled and
specialised workforce.
The carrying value of trade receivables amounting to R45 million, approximates
their fair value and the group is of the opinion that all receivables will be
recovered.
Acquisition-related costs were recognised in the statement of comprehensive
income as an expense within operating expenses.
To the extent that Cycad Pipeline`s profit after tax for the financial year
ending 28 February 2013 exceeds R50 million, the excess will become payable to
the sellers, limited to a maximum amount of R30 million.
Directorate
The board welcomes Mrs Zanele Matlala as an Independent Non-executive Director
with effect from 27 February 2012.
Mr Stephen Pell resigned as Chief Operating Officer with effect from 31 March
2012. Mr Pell`s duties will be assumed by Mr Willie Meyburgh and certain
Business Unit heads.
Outlook and strategy
The group has an order book which currently stands at R9,3 billion. (The
corresponding order book at May 2011 was R8,2 billion.)
The construction market is expected to recover only in the medium term and
future growth will be dependent upon, amongst other things, the confidence of
mining houses to invest in capital projects, the developments in renewable
energy, the general health of the global economy and future Government capital
expenditure.
In addition, since 25% of the group`s turnover and 33% of the operating profit
is generated from outside South Africa, continued expansion into the sub-Saharan
continent remains a priority of the group which will continue to build on
existing strong structures and relationships.
The infrastructure plans of the South African Government, at a stated value of
R845 billion, have been approved and budgeted for over the next three years
which is promising. Stefanutti Stocks will tender on these projects as and when
they become available.
In light of the above factors, we believe the group to be well-positioned to
take advantage of a number of anticipated opportunities as they occur.
Competition Commission
The investigation by the Competition Commission into anti-competitive behaviour
by companies within the construction sector is currently ongoing. Stefanutti
Stocks is co-operating fully with the Competition Commission, and all regulatory
authorities. It has submitted the requisite documentation in this regard, and
awaits feedback from the Commissioner.
The outcome may result in the imposition of an administrative penalty to
Stefanutti Stocks, but current indications are that the outcome of this process
will only be known during the latter part of 2012 and therefore no provision has
been made in this regard.
Subsequent events
Other than the acquisition of Cycad Pipelines as detailed in the Acquisitions
note, no material events have occurred between the reporting date and the date
of this announcement.
Dividend declaration
Notice is hereby given that a final gross dividend of 12 cents per share (full
year: 24 cents); (Feb 2011: final dividend of 25,0 cents and a total dividend of
45,0 cents) has been declared for the year ended 29 February 2012.
Last day to trade cum dividend Friday, 29 June 2012

Payment date Monday, 9 July 2012
Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Monday, 2
July 2012 and Friday, 6 July 2012, both dates inclusive.
This is a dividend as defined in the Income Tax Act, 1962 ("the Act"). In terms
of the Act, a dividend withholding tax rate of 15% is applicable to shareholders
who are not exempt from the dividend withholding tax, resulting in a net
