REVIEWED PRELIMINARY RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BASIS OF PREPARATION
These results have been prepared in terms of International Financial
Reporting Standards and comply with IAS 34 – Interim Financial
Reporting, the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, the Companies
Act No. 71 of 2008 and the AC500 standards and interpretations. The
condensed financial statements do not include all of the information
required for a full set of annual financial statements.
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those applied in
the annual financial statements for 30 June 2011.
The condensed financial statements have been prepared under the
supervision of Ms. SL Kemp CA (SA), Financial Director.

DISCONTINUED OPERATION
During the period under review, the Group sold the entire issued share
capital and Group loan accounts against the Scaffolding Division (Top
Fix Scaffolding (Pty) Ltd and MBM Administration and Labour Brokers
(Pty) Ltd) to Mr BW Marais in exchange for 48 million Top Fix Holdings
shares, which were cancelled on 7 June 2012, and a cash consideration
of R5 million. The effective date of the sale was 8 March 2012.
Financial information relating to the scaffolding business operation
is set out after the Segment report. The results of the discontinued
operation are disclosed separately in the Statement of comprehensive
income and comparative figures have been re-presented. Refer to the
SENS announcement of 23 April 2012 for full details of the
transaction.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The Group’s results for the year were impacted by the underperformance
of the scaffolding business prior to its disposal while lower margins
in the personnel outsourcing division further reduced profitability,
despite an increase in revenue from continuing operations. These
factors contributed to a disappointing performance for the year.

Revenue from continuing operations increased by 31,4% from R259,3
million to R340.6 million in the current year, while the gross profit
percentage dropped from 20,6% to 15,6%.
For the year ended 30 June 2012, headline earnings per share from
continuing operations amounts to 9,7 cents, compared to 11,6 cents for
the year ended 30 June 2011.
Operating profit from continuing operations declined by 3,4% to R30,9
million.

Further to the SENS announcement of 21 September 2012, group results
for the year ended 30 June 2012 reflect a headline loss per share of
1,0 cents, compared to headline earnings per share of 6,8 cents
achieved for the comparative period to 30 June 2011. This is due to
poor performance of the scaffolding division. An impairment of R78,9
million was raised against the scaffolding division’s property, plant
and equipment (predominantly access scaffolding) at 31 December 2011.
Refer to SENS announcement dated 30 March 2012 for details of the
impairment.
Net interest charges incurred in the current year were R3,2 million as
compared to R3,5 million in the comparative period.

PERSONNEL OUTSOURCING
The Personnel Outsourcing division achieved an operating profit for
the year of R26,8 million, representing a decline of 7,6% on those
achieved for the year ended 30 June 2011, mainly due to pressurized
trading margins. Contracts for international personnel placements in
Mozambique continue and further international placements are being
actively pursued.

SAFETY SURVEILLANCE
The Safety Surveillance division continues to perform well with
operating profit increasing from R2,9 million in the previous year to
R3,8 million for the year ended 30 June 2012.

CHANGE OF NAME
The Company changed its name from “Top Fix Holdings Limited” to “M&S
Holdings Limited”, converted its share capital from shares with a par
value of R0.0001 each to shares of no par value and adopted a new
memorandum of incorporation, in terms of the circular to shareholders
dated, 23 April 2012 and the announcement dated 20 July 2012.

CHANGES IN DIRECTORS
Messrs. BW Marais and JA Barker resigned on 14 February 2012 and 27
February 2012 respectively to continue with the disposed Scaffolding
operation. Mr Marias’ position of Group Chief Executive has been
assumed by executive director, Mr FF Goosen and Ms SL Kemp (formerly
Group Financial Manager) has assumed Mr Barker’s position as Group
Financial Director.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As detailed above, the scaffolding division has been sold to Mr BW
Marais during the period under review.

During the year the Group borrowed various amounts to assist with
working capital requirements from JJ Senekal (director) on a short
term basis (one month loans) at a rate of R 50 000 per month per
R 1 million borrowed.   At year end an amount of R 3.5 million was
owing to JJ Senekal. This amount was repaid in July 2012.

FUTURE PROSPECTS
The shortage of skilled artisans experienced in Sub-Saharan Africa
leave the Personnel Outsourcing division’s operations well placed to
take   advantage   of  organic   growth  opportunities.  The  Safety
Surveillance division is expected to continue to operate well and
contribute to Group profitability. The Group is focused on securing
new contract business in all divisions.

CAPITAL COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Group had no significant outstanding      capital   commitments   or
contingencies as at 30 June 2012.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION
No dividend has been declared for the year.
REVIEW REPORT
The condensed consolidated preliminary results for the year ended 30
June 2012 have been reviewed by PKF (Jhb) Inc. The external auditors’
unqualified review opinion is available for inspection at the
company’s registered office.
