UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
31 DECEMBER 2012 AND CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
COMMENTS
Sector: Breweries
Nature of business: The company manufactures and distributes goods and
services to the informal markets.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
These unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the
AC500 standards as issued by the Accounting Practices Board, (AFB) (IAS
34), the requirements of the South African Companies Act 71 of 2008 and
the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited.
These condensed results do not include all the information required for
full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with
the annual financial statements as at the year ended 30 June 2012, which
are available on the company’s website www.awethubreweries.com, or at
the company’s registered office.
REVIEW
These statements have not been reviewed or audited by the company’s
auditors. The financial results have been prepared on the going concern
basis, and were approved by the board on 25 March 2013. There has been
no material changes in judgements or estimates relating to amounts
reported in prior reporting periods. The significant accounting policies
and methods of computation are consistent in all material respects with
those applied in the year ended 30 June 2012.
SYNOPSIS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE PERIOD AND POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS
It has been a year of consolidation of ideas and soul searching for the
company and a new focus has emerged as to where the company’s future
lies.
As a result of the Chief Executive Officer’s 20 years of experience in
the retail and wholesale liquor trade, and his forte and expertise in
that field, the board has reached consensus to pursue options in, and
steer Awethu towards, that direction.
Five existing liquor outlets (two wholesale and three retail stores)
have been identified for acquisition within the next few months. We
expect these stores to have a positive impact on the earnings of the
company. This general forecast has not been reviewed nor reported on by
the company’s auditors. The interim financial statements of the company
have been prepared by Ms J Caddy and supervised by the Financial
Director, Ms I Vermaak.
No events have occurred between the reporting date and the date of
release of these results which require disclosure, but the attention of
shareholders is drawn to the cautionary announcement included in these
results.
COMPARATIVE FIGURES
The unaudited condensed interim financial statements are for the six
months ended 31 December 2012, and the comparative reviewed interim
