NOTES
1 PRESENTATION OF ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Trematon Capital Investments Limited (the "company") is a company domciled in South 
Africa. The consolidated financial statements of the company for the period ending 
28 February 2013 comprise the company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as 
the "group") and the group's interest in jointly controlled entities and associates.

The interim financial statements contain the information required by IAS 34: Interim 
Financial Reporting and have been prepared in accordance with the framework concepts 
and the measurement and recognition requirements of IFRS and the SAICA Financial 
Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee, the Listings 
Requirements of the JSE Limited and the South African Companies Act. The accounting 
policies are in accordance with IFRS and the same accounting policies and method of 
computation are followed in these interim financial statements as compared with the 
most recent annual financial statements.

The interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis using 
a combination of the historical cost and fair value basis of accounting.

All significant accounting policies have been consistently applied to all periods 
presented and throughout the group.

The consolidated interim financial statements are stated in Rands, which is the 
company's functional and presentation currency.

The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires 
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application 
of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and 
various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under circumstances, the 
results of which form the basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets 
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may 
differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions 
to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised 
if the revision affects only that period, or the period of the revision and future 
periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The interim financial statements has not been reviewed or audited by Mazars.

The company entered into an agreement to dispose of 
its 37.5% interest in the Boulevard Park Trust ("BPT") 
as disclosed in the SENS released on 26 March 2012. 
The investment in the BPT was accounted for as an 
investment in associate in prior periods. In terms of 
IFRS, the investment has been carried at the lower of 
carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and 
reclassified to non-current assets held for sale.

3 SHARE-BASED PAYMENT RESERVE
Share-based payment expense in terms of the Trematon 
Share Incentive Scheme                                      724        121        843

In terms of the scheme, which was approved at the annual 
general meeting of the company on 25 January 2012, 
participants were issued convertible debentures that can 
be converted into ordinary shares at the option of the 
participant after a period of three years.

The debentures pay interest at a rate linked to the 
prime rate of borrowing.

A corresponding loan was issued to participants at a rate 
linked to the prime rate of borrowing. This loan was 
approved simultaneously with the issue of debentures at 
the annual general meeting mentioned above.

In terms of IFRS 2: Share-based payments, the convertible 
debentures and corresponding loans receivable have been 
eliminated in the preparation of these results. The 
required share-based payment expense has been recognised 
as an expense and an adjustment to equity.

DIRECTORS' REVIEW
COMMENTARY ON FINANCIAL RESULTS
Net asset value ("NAV") has remained unchanged since year-end at 121 cents per share. 
The group remains in a healthy financial position. On a consolidated basis the group 
is in a net cash position although our property associates have appropriate gearing 
associated with specific investments.

Interim earnings per share decreased by 53% to 1.5 cents per share (2012: 3.2 cents 
per share). Headline earnings fell by 40% to 1.5 cents per share (2012: 2.5 cents 
per share).

The reason for the drop in earnings is a R9 million once-off charge in the income 
statement which arose from the settlement of a call option in respect of 3.5 million 
ordinary shares in Club Mykonos Langebaan (Pty) Limited ("CML"). The option arose 
from an incentive structure which was put in place to compensate a party who was 
instrumental in the original Club Mykonos transaction. Trematon continues to own 100% 
of the shares in CML and there is no further exposure in this regard.

Revenue for the group includes interest income, dividends and sale of properties at 
Club Mykonos in Langebaan. The revenue figure is included for disclosure purposes in 
terms of IFRS requirements but is not an accurate reflection of the level of activity 
within the group. Revenue declined to R9.9 million (2012: R12.4 million) due to 
special dividends received in the prior period as well as a decline in interest 
received on loans that have been repaid. 

Total trading losses before other forms of income but including the R9 million charge 
referred to above amounted to R12.7 million (2012: R6.7 million). Share trading 
losses were also incurred on the final realisation of all shares held in Dorbyl Limited 
- the losses were partially offset by profits on other share trades. All holdings are 
marked-to-market at the end of the reporting period.

Investment income has declined due to the repayment of loans previously extended to 
joint ventures. 

The reversal of provision for impairment is due to the improvement in the performance 
of the listed shares held in Cloudberry Investments. The increase of the NAV of the 
entity is directly related to the value of the loans due from the investment.

Profit from equity accounted investments include equity accounted profits from Arbitrage 
Property Fund, Resi Investment Trust and the Mykonos Casino. All of these investments 
have shown improved growth over the interim period, contributing to an increase in 
equity accounted earnings over the prior comparable interim period. 

Trematon's investment in joint ventures has increased due to additional funding of 
R9.3 million for the purchase of properties as well as earnings recognised which 
increase the carrying value of the investments.

Cash balances amounted to R33.6 million at the end of the period. This balance is 
variable during the year and depends on the timing of investments and realisations.

INVESTMENT OVERVIEW 
CLUB MYKONOS LANGEBAAN
The CML group made a profit for the period of R7.6 million compared to a profit of 
R4.5 million in the prior comparable interim period. The major component of the profits 
is the equity accounted profits from the Mykonos Casino. The resort continues to show 
improvement due to ongoing operational refinements and the results of the refurbishment 
programme. Both rental and timeshare occupancies are high by industry standards and 
revenues from commercial operations are showing good levels of growth. Club Mykonos 
offers a family-friendly resort holiday experience and the investment in the brand 
has shown positive results which are reflected in increased turnover and increased 
foot traffic.

At the RCI "OSCA" awards held in March 2013, Club Mykonos was rated amongst the top 4
large resorts in the country in the premier Gold Crown Category and the resort 
general manager was recognised by a nomination for general manager of the year. 
Club Mykonos is now firmly established as one of the favoured family holiday 
destinations in the country and has recently been awarded a 4-star grading by the 
Tourism Grading Council of South Africa.

The Club Mykonos Marina continues to expand, the number of jetties has been increased 
further to the limits of the current space available and the Mykonos Boatyard is now 
well established as a value-added boating and general storage facility offering 
storage for 140 large and medium sized crafts. Phase 2 of the boatyard has commenced 
and storage units are being constructed as demand dictates. 

There is significant potential for new developments at the resort when market 
circumstances are suitable. 

ARBITRAGE PROPERTY FUND ("ARBITRAGE") - 50% INTEREST
Arbitrage continues to focus on value opportunities in the commercial and industrial 
property space. The low yields prevailing in the sector and the large increase in 
demand from listed property vehicles have reduced the number of opportunities which 
are available. The current portfolio is performing very well and new investments will 
be made on a selective basis. Properties with a cost price of R188 million has been 
purchased to date. Trematon has increased its mezzanine funding to Arbitrage to a 
total of R22.3 million at the end of the period.

RESI INVESTMENT TRUST ("RESI") - 50% INTEREST
Resi is a property investment fund that is focused on purchasing well priced and well 
located residential developments. The fund has established an excellent track record 
in the Western Cape where a total of R170 million of transactions have been finalised 
to date. Most of these transactions are in the final stages of transfer and should be 
reflected in the full year accounts. Deal flow in this area is still strong and further 
investments are anticipated in the Western Cape and nationwide. 

Trematon has increased its mezzanine funding to Resi to a total of R15.5 million at 
the end of the period.

OTHER
The group has maintained its investment in Grand Parade Investments Limited which is 
held directly and indirectly to a value of R32.8 million.

Stalagmite Property Investments (Pty) Limited remains in a sound financial position and 
will become more active once there is more certainty regarding the proposed N2 highway.

The indirect shareholding in Mazor Group Limited has been maintained.

DISCLOSURE
At present the group has significant property exposure held via its joint venture 
entities. The rental income, operating expenses, valuations and debt associated with 
these properties are not fully reflected on the face of the financials. The group is 
currently exploring alternatives which would make the presentation of the financials 
more meaningful in this context.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to the period-end, Trematon entered into agreement in terms of which it 
purchased a further 16.7% interest in Arbitrage Property Fund (Pty) Limited for a 
consideration of R4.2 million. The effective date of the transaction was 
31 March 2013. This purchase will increase Trematon's holding in Arbitrage to 66.7%, 
resulting in Arbitrage being a subsidiary of Trematon from the effective date.

PROSPECTS
The group has permanent exposure to 3 primary sectors: commercial property, 
residential property and leisure assets (including casinos). In addition, short-term 
arbitrage or trading opportunities are pursued as they present themselves. 

The level of annuity income in the group and the quality of the NAV has increased 
over the past few reporting periods although earnings can always be influenced in the 
short term by investment realisations or trading profits and losses.
