Shareholders are reminded of the R11m profit after tax reported for the six months to 30 September 2012. The months thereafter included the Marikana tragedy, a transport strike, and labour unrest in the mining industry, together with disruption to steel supplies. Notwithstanding these challenges the company has significantly increased sales volumes and is currently experiencing favourable trading conditions. The combined results will however reflect a reduction of more than 20% in EPS and HEPS for the year to March 2013 when compared with the 2012 financial year. The information in this Trading Statement has not been reviewed or reported on by the company`s auditors.
