DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY TO HISENSE SOUTH AFRICA (PROPRIETARY) LIMITED


1.    INTRODUCTION

Tedelex Properties (Atlantis) (Proprietary) Limited ("the Seller"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Amalgamated Appliance Holdings Limited, has entered into a sale agreement ("the Sale Agreement")
with Hisense South Africa (Proprietary) Limited (“the Purchaser”) for the disposal of land and buildings
consisting of portion 64 (a portion 420 of the farm Melkpost No 4, Atlantis), industrial area, Cape
Division (“the Disposal Property”) (“the Disposal”). The Sale Agreement is effective on 27 July 2012
(“effective date”) and there are no conditions precedent included in the Sale Agreement.


2.    THE DISPOSAL CONSIDERATION

The Disposal Property has been sold for an amount of R35 000 000, less agents’ commissions and a
lease termination consideration, resulting in net proceeds of R32 000 000. A R1 000 000 deposit was
paid on the signature date. The balance of the disposal consideration is to be secured by bank
guarantee which is due for delivery within 30 days of the signature date. The disposal consideration
will be paid on the date of transfer of the Disposal Property to the Purchaser. The proceeds from the
disposal will be utilised by the Company to satisfy current working capital requirements.


3.    SALIENT FEATURES OF THE DISPOSAL

The Disposal Property measures 100 000m squared and is located in Atlantis near Cape Town. The
Purchaser will acquire from the Seller all of the rights and obligations relating to the Disposal property.
With effect from 1 October 2012, the Purchaser will take occupation of the Disposal Property and be
liable for occupational rental of R349 920.00 per month plus value added tax.


4.    RATIONALE OF THE TRANSACTION

The Disposal Property was previously used by the Seller in the manufacture of electronic equipment
and televisions. However, in the 2010 financial year it was decided to dispose of the Atlantis TV factory
operation and the related assets were reclassified as held for sale.

5.      FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL

The unaudited pro forma financial effects of AMAP before and after the disposal are based on the
unaudited interim results of AMAP for the 6 months ended 31 December 2011. The financial effects
are presented for illustrative purposes only, to provide information on how the disposal may have
impacted on the results and financial position of AMAP. The unaudited pro forma effects are the
responsibility of AMAP`s directors. Due to the nature of the unaudited pro forma financial effects, they
may not fairly present AMAP`s financial position and the results of its operations after the disposal. It
has been assumed for the purpose of the financial effects that the disposal took place with effect from
1 July 2011. The financial effects do not purport to be indicative of what the financial results would
have been, had the disposal been implemented on a different date. The unaudited pro forma financial
information has been presented in a manner consistent in all respects with International Financial
Reporting Standards and AMAP`s accounting policies applied consistently throughout the period.
