GROUP PROFILE
Winhold Limited ("Winhold") is a holding company with its main investments
being in its subsidiaries Gundle Limited ("Gundle") and Inmins Limited
("Inmins").

Gundle comprises two manufacturing and distribution operations in Gauteng and
one in Swaziland, as well as a further five distribution centres in the main
coastal cities, Bloemfontein and Mbombela.
Gundle manufactures polyethylene bags, construction sheeting, consumer and
industrial packaging, agricultural film and dam linings and distributes to the
agricultural, chemical, construction, food processing, industrial and consumer
markets, as well as installing dam linings in sub-Sahara Africa.

Inmins comprises 19 strategically located operations servicing the mining and
industrial sectors with a wide range of consumable and maintenance products,
and includes divisions specialising in hose, mining pipe systems, chain and
sprocket systems and conveyor belting.

MARKET OVERVIEW
A significant amount of new production capacity came on stream in the flexible
plastic industry as competitors invested heavily in new plant and equipment
over the last two years. Our estimates are that almost R1 billion of new
investment has occurred in the last few years and there is now an excess of
efficient production capacity in the country. In addition, a strong Rand
encouraged imports of finished product at very competitive prices which also
generated pressure on margins in an over traded market.

The demand in industries serviced by the businesses of the group was more
subdued than 2011. The turmoil in the mining and transport industries as a
result of the unprotected strikes and stayaways negatively affected sales in
the latter part of the financial year. Mines procurement is also being
aggressively managed and more pressure is being put on margins and suppliers
to hold stock for them. More South African manufacturers are now supplying
the mines directly and our challenge is to find new products and agencies to
replace them.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Turnover from continuing operations increased by 4% to R916 million, mainly as
a result of volume growth. Gundle and Inmins contributed equally to this
growth. The group is rolling out a strategy to grow these volumes further in
the coming year levered off our investment in new technologies and new
products and agencies. Profit from continuing operations decreased 48% to
R12,8 million as a result of decreased margin, itself a result of an
increasingly competitive market and consequently also an inability to pass on
cost increases to customers. Impairments of Goodwill (R4,5 million) are
attributable mainly to Inmins’s Witank branches. Investment income comprises
predominantly preference dividend income. The reduction in interest is
attributable to reduction in prime overdraft rates. The taxation credit
arises from deferred tax assets being created.

Gundle
The operating profit reduced by 52% as a result of the loss suffered at the
Industrial and Consumer division and reduced profits of our trading branches.
The industrial and consumer packaging markets experienced a volume drop of 8%
with margins under severe pressure as competitors chased volumes with price.
Although the home building industry is still depressed the construction and
agriculture division maintained profits at 2011 levels on lower sales. The
Dam Lining division which specialises in the in situ welding and installation
of plastic linings for dams, hazardous waste sites and bulk water management
systems once again performed exceptionally well increasing sales by 25% with
projects successfully completed in Mozambique, DRC, Botswana as well as South
Africa. Foreign business in sub-Sahara Africa accounted for 47% of sales with
much potential remaining.

Inmins
The losses associated with the discontinuance of the Value Added division
(“T&E”) operation overshadowed the good performance of both the mining and
industrial divisions. Revenue from these divisions increased by 7,1% while
operating income increased by 32,6%. All of the trading branches with one
exception were profitable and most improved on 2011.

As most local manufacturers now supply direct to the mines and large
industrial customers, Inmins is reinventing itself by actively finding and
developing new higher margin product ranges to meet these customers. The key
to the long term success of the Inmins business is to expand its range of “own
products” to compete with local manufacturers that now supply to these large
users directly, while making the required returns from the smaller industrial
and DIY consumer market. A distribution agreement with a major local
manufacturer was concluded at the end of the financial year which will add to
revenue and operating profit. The “cross selling” of products between Inmins
branches grew by more than 50%.

After many years of trying to turn T&E to consistent profitability, the board
decided to discontinue the business. The board believes that with the current
turmoil in the gold mining industry, the prospects of new “projects” being
undertaken were low and at closure was the only viable alternative.
Negotiations to dispose of this stock and assets are under way with several
industry participants and, as part of this decision, inventory and receivables
were impaired to net realisable value on an urgent sale basis requiring a
significant provision. The T&E property is also being actively marketed and a
conditional offer is awaiting finance approval.

PROSPECTS

Inmins
The good performance of the trading operations should continue as mine
disruptions and strikes are resolved and the weaker Rand boosts mining and
industrial activity. The negative effect of T&E has been eliminated. The
distribution agreement with a major South African manufacturer, various new
products and agencies and improved market penetration should improve the
returns of Inmins. The sale of the specialist products of the group through
the whole network is gaining momentum. It is expected to increase both the
revenue and margins in the year ahead. The efforts to find additional
products continue.

Gundle
The return to profitability of the Industrial and Consumer division is key to
Gundle achieving acceptable returns. The operation is currently profitable
and management is confident that profits will be maintained for the year.
As was the case last year, it is not expected that the home building market
will recover significantly in 2013. It is expected that we will at least
retain our market share, with some growth in the new products launched during
the last 12 months.

Opportunities in Africa, where new mining developments are taking place will
be exploited by the dam lining business and a good contribution is expected
again.

The board and management are determined to return the group to profitability
in the short term.

APPRECIATION
The support from customers, suppliers, financial institutions and
shareholders’ in a very difficult year is highly appreciated. The commitment
of the management team and staff was once again noted.

CAPITAL COMMITMENTS
The amount of R0,8 million (2011: R1,2 million) reflected in the supplementary
information, relates to vehicles (2011: plant and vehicles) for existing
operations.
