COMMENTARY

OVERVIEW
We present our interim results for the period ended 30 June 2012. The delays in registration of our medicines
continue to impact on the growth of our company. We do, however, feel that this situation will improve during
the second half of 2012. The difficult trading conditions persist with a volatile and weakening exchange rate and
the implementation of the negligible Single Exit Price (SEP) price increase on certain products. As a result of our
continuing policy to take out forward exchange contracts (FECs) to limit our exposure to the USD currency, we
recorded unrealised losses on the mark to market valuation (fair valuation) of FECs of R34,2 million (2011: unrealised
gains of R28,6 million), as required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). As a result of the exchange
rate and the change in our product mix our gross profit margin has decreased; however, our trading results still
reflect significant improvements due to the increase in revenue of more than 28%.

As reported on SENS on 22 June 2012 and 29 June 2012, our 2011 provisional annual results were restated before
the approval of our 2011 Integrated Annual Report, to account for the subsequent event relating to the Reckitt
Benckiser South Africa (Pty) Ltd (RBSA) settlement.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Cipla Medpro Holdings (Pty) Ltd (Cipla Medpro), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cipla Medpro South Africa Ltd
(CMSA or the group), continues its growth and was ranked third largest pharmaceutical company by value for the
12 months to June 2012. Cipla Medpro had the highest Evolution Index (EV) of the top 10 pharmaceutical
companies in South Africa for the 12 months to June 2012 (104,4) as well as the six months to June 2012 (107,9)
(IMS, June 2012).

Cipla Medpro's share in the total private market was 5,1% for the 12 months to June 2012 and 5,2% for the
six months to June 2012. The total private market grew by 9,6% for the 12 months to June 2012 and by 8,2% for
the six months to June 2012. Cipla Medpro's performance again outstripped the market and grew by 14,4% for the
12 months to June 2012 and by 16,8% for the six months to June 2012 (IMS, June 2012).

We remain focused on growing our over-the-counter (OTC) business and can already see gains from the strategies
in place.

Our oncology division is up and running and an exciting space to be in for the future.

Our small animal (Cipla Vet) business grew by 10,1% to R12,0 million (2011: R10,9 million) and our large animal
(Cipla Agrimed) business grew by 46,8% to R49,9 million (2011: R34,0 million).

Cipla Medpro was awarded R353 million (excluding VAT) in the respiratory products tender and expects a further
R100 million from other tenders, excluding antiretroviral's (ARVs).

Turnover of the factory (CMM) continues to improve and an increase of more than 65% was recorded when
compared to the corresponding comparative period. We are pleased to report that a profit before interest and
tax (PBIT) has been recorded at CMM of R1,9 million for the first six months (2011: loss before interest and tax of
R10,1 million), which is a significant improvement of R12,0 million. The improvement is mainly attributable to the
increased and more stable uptake from the State on the ARV tender.

REVIEW OF RESULTS
Statement of comprehensive income
Actual earnings per share (EPS) and headline earnings per share (HEPS) have decreased by 34,6% to 27,8 cents
(2011: 42,5 cents) as a result of the inclusion of the non-recurring settlement income in 2011 of R68,8 million
(2012: Rnil), the unrealised FEC gains in 2011 of R28,6 million (2012: unrealised FEC losses of R34,2 million) and
RBSA legal expenses and notional interest of R10,0 million in 2012 (2011: Rnil). These calculations are based on
440,0 million (2011: 447,6 million) weighted average number of shares in issue for the first six months of 2012
(before the effects of dilution are taken into account). Headline earnings have decreased to R122,2 million
(2011: R190,0 million). There were no items included in the 2012 reconciliation of headline earnings (2011: gain on
disposal of property, plant and equipment of R0,1 million, net of tax).

On a normalised basis, after adjusting for the items referred to above, our normalised EPS and HEPS have increased
by 30,6% to 35,0 cents (2011: 26,8 cents).

We are pleased to report an increase in revenue of 28,1% to R1,080 billion (2011: R842,8 million) despite the
slow registrations at the Medicines Control Council (MCC), however, the gross profit margin has decreased to
53,6% from 58,2% at 30 June 2011, mainly due to the change in our product mix and exchange rate. This growth
in revenue has been achieved organically with a significant increase in the demand of ARVs from the State. It is
pleasing to note that the increased demand in ARVs has allowed CMM to reach satisfactory production levels which
resulted in a small PBIT for the first six months.

PBIT for the period decreased by 29,1% to R213,6 million (2011: R301,3 million), with operating expenses increasing
to R366,6 million (2011: R268,6 million) for the current period. Excluding the positive impact of the settlement
income in 2011 and the unrealised FEC movements, PBIT grew by 21,5%. Profit after tax for the period was
R126,0 million (2011: R192,6 million). The effective tax rate improved slightly to 29,5% (2011: 29,8%) and remains
slightly higher than the statutory tax rate.

Net finance costs increased from R26,9 million to R34,9 million mainly as a result of the following:

- notional interest of R2,1 million (2011: Rnil) on the outstanding RBSA settlement amount (IFRS adjustment);
- notional interest on extended credit terms of R16,5 million (2011: R12,0 million) (IFRS adjustment); and
- interest on the Nedbank Ltd long-term loan facilities of R12,0 million (2011: R10,4 million).

Statement of financial position
Loans, borrowings and provisions, less the net cash position, have increased to R363,5 million (2011: R267,9 million)
mainly as a result of the RBSA settlement amount. The group's net cash surplus decreased from R39,2 million at
30 June 2011 to R7,7 million at 30 June 2012 as a result of:

- the final dividend of R33,5 million paid in May 2012; and
- provisional tax payments of R73,0 million at the end of June 2012.

Debtors days have increased slightly, when compared to December 2011, to 67 days (31 December 2011: 64 days
and 30 June 2011: 67 days). Creditors days are currently at 152 days (31 December 2011: 170 days and 30 June
2011: 185 days) with the reduction as a result of us continuing to settle certain invoices early to take advantage of
the exchange rate, where possible. The inventory days have decreased to 148 days (31 December 2011: 181 days
and 30 June 2011: 156 days) as the high levels of ARVs have normalised.

Statement of cash flows
Cash flows generated from operating activities are R145,0 million (2011: R147,9 million), after adjusting for
the non-cash flow effects of depreciation of R14,6 million (2011: R11,5 million), IFRS 2 Share-based Payment
expenses of R1,2 million (2011: R0,2 million) and FEC unrealised losses of R34,2 million (2011: unrealised gains of
R28,6 million). The final dividend relating to 2011 of R33,5 million was paid to shareholders during May 2012.

Investing activities resulted in outflows of R38,3 million (2011: R59,1 million) due to acquisitions of property, plant
and equipment and intangible assets. A net R8,5 million was utilised for financing activities (2011: R24,7 million),
mainly for the working capital and instalment sale facilities at the factory.

DECLARATION OF ORDINARY DIVIDEND
Notice is hereby given that an interim cash dividend (dividend number 5) of 8,5 cents per share (gross) has been declared
by the board in respect of the six months ended 30 June 2012, an increase of 30,8% when compared to the interim
dividend of 6,5 cents in 2011 (before the effects of dividend withholding tax, where applicable). The company's policy to 
maintain a dividend cover of between four and five times, has been complied with when the results are analysed on a normalised 
basis. The dividend cover is based on normalised earnings due to the non-cash effect of the unrealised gains and losses on 
FECs that may or may not be realised in the future, as well as the effects of once-off items. The dividend has been 
declared out of income reserves.
