2. Unaudited pro forma financial information of the Transaction
  The pro forma financial information is based on the published
  year-end results of IFA for the 18 months ended 31 December
  2011. The preparation of the pro forma financial information
  is    the   responsibility   of   the   Directors.   The   unaudited pro
  forma financial effects have been prepared to illustrate the
  impact of the Transaction on the audited financial information
  of IFA for the 18 months ended 31 December 2011.
  The unaudited pro forma financial effects have been prepared
  using accounting policies that comply with IFRS and that are
  consistent with those applied in the audited results of IFA
  for the 18 months ended 31 December 2011.
  The    unaudited    pro forma financial information has been
  presented for illustrative purposes only and, because of its
  nature, may not give a fair reflection of IFA’s financial
  position and results after the Transaction.

Notes:

  1. The “Before” basic loss and headline loss per share have
     been extracted without adjustment from the audited,
     published results of IFA for the 18 months ended 31
     December 2011. The “Before” net asset value and tangible
     net asset value per share have been calculated from the
     financial information presented in the audited, published
     results of IFA for the 18 months ended 31 December 2011.

  2. The “After pro forma adjustments” loss per share and
     headline loss per share assumes:
       o Recognition of the loss on disposal of shares and
          claims in Boschendal, being the excess of the carrying
          value of the investment and claims in Boschendal over
          the expected proceeds on the disposal. This will not
        have a continuing effect on IFA’s financial results.
     o Transaction costs of approximately R934 306 directly
        relating to the transaction. This will not have a
        continuing effect on IFA’s financial results.
     o Reduction in interest income not accrued from the loan
        provided to Boschendal at an interest rate of 8%, as a
        result of the Disposal of the claims in Boschendal and
        the reversal of the tax effect at a company tax rate
        of 28%. This will have a continuing effect on IFA’s
        financial results.
     o Reversal of IFA’s share of the Boschendal loss for the
        18 months ended 31 December 2011. This will have a
        continuing effect on IFA’s financial results.
     o Reduction in interest expense not accrued on loans
        repaid from the proceeds of the Transaction, at an
        interest rate of 8%, and the reversal of the tax
        effect at a company tax rate of 28%. This will have a
        continuing effect on IFA’s financial results.
3. The “After pro forma adjustments” net asset value and net
   tangible asset value per share assumes:
     o Reversal of the carrying value of the loan to
        Boschendal.
     o Raising of R80.0 million, in cash, received as
        consideration for the disposal of the shares and
        claims in Boschendal.
     o Payment of transaction costs of approximately R934 306
        directly related to the Transaction.
     o Repayment of loans provided by group companies of an
        amount of R10.5 million
     o Repayment of the loan provided by Nedbank Limited,
        secured by IFA Boschendal, of an amount of R53.8
        million.
     o Recognition of the loss on disposal of the shares and
        claims in Boschendal.
4. Measured as the “After pro forma adjustments” column as a
   percentage of the “Before” column.

  In addition to the above, shareholders are also referred to
  the announcement released by the Company on 20 July 2012
  relating   to   the   posting   of   the   circular   to   IFA
  shareholders.
    Shareholders are hereby advised that obtaining property
    valuation report/s on the Transaction from the independent
    registered valuer took longer than initially envisaged and
    therefore the circular to IFA shareholders will be posted

    Transaction
    IFA Shareholders are advised that the cautionary
    announcement relating to the above Transaction is hereby
    withdrawn following the release of the above financial
    effects.

    introduction of potential investors

    IFA Shareholders are referred to the original announcement
    in this regard which was released on 28 October 2011 and the
    subsequent renewals thereof, the last of which was released
    on 17 August 2012. IFA Shareholders are advised that while
    the   process to introduce potential investors intothe
    business is ongoing, it has not resulted in any corporate
    action to date and the said cautionary announcement is
    hereby withdrawn. Directors will continue to pursue avenues
    to maximise shareholder value and will release an
    announcement should circumstances require.
