There is no disclosure of segment assets and liabilities as it is not
possible to specifically allocate tangible assets and liabilities to
specific segments.

Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports
reviewed and this is supported by management reporting disciplines, which
include monthly variance reporting. Insimbi’s performance is monitored
continuously and issues arising are addressed at monthly management
meetings that have board representation present.

Management considers the business from both a geographical and product
management perspective. Management assesses the performance of the
operating segments based on measures such as gross and operating profit.


COMMENTARY

The directors of Insimbi are pleased to announce the audited results for
the year ended 29 February 2012.

1. Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies
The results for the year ended 28 February 2013 have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”),
specifically IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and AC 500 Statements, and
comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 and the
Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited. The principle accounting
policies applied by the group in the abridged consolidated financial
results for the year ended 28 February 2013 are consistent with those
applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 29
February 2012. These financial statements do not include all the
information for full annual financial statements and should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended
28 February 2013.The results have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers
Inc. Their unqualified audit report and the audited financial statements
are available for inspection at the company’s registered office. These
abridged financial statements have been prepared under the supervision of
Fred Botha(CA)SA (Commercial and Financial Director).

2. Review of activities
Insimbi continues to operate out of our offices in Johannesburg, Durban,
Atlantis and Kitwe and we are actively represented in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo and Zimbabwe via our agents there. In addition, we
continue to service most sub-Saharan and central African countries, as
well as certain north, west and east African countries. We are also active
in South America, Eastern Europe, certain Middle East countries and the
UAE, Japan and Korea as well as India.

3. Financial Review
Due to the poor economic conditions experienced in the second half
of the financial year and while the qroup results remained in the
black for the year, our operating results for the year ending
February 2013, were well below our results for the immediately
preceding year-ending February 2012. 
Group revenue dropped by only 0,8% (or R7 million) to R828 million 
and earnings decreased by 49% to R7,9 million, down from R 15,6
million in the previous year. Headline earnings decreased by 48,3% to
R7,9 million.

In addition to the difficult trading conditions locally, which
exhibited themselves mainly in the second half of the financial
year, the Euro zone continued to suffer from retarded and even
negative growth and this had a negative impact on our exports. Trade
to our traditional emerging market partners, was promising but the
expected recovery in Europe did not occur as Portugal, Italy, Greece
and Spain as well as Cyprus continued to implode.

The group produced a gross profit of R83,5 million compared to R90,0
million in the previous year, a decrease of 7,3%. Gross
margins were slightly down at 10,0% compared to 10,8% in the prev1ous
year and is evidence of the difficult market conditions and low
commodity prices experienced during the year. Gross margins were 10,6%
at 31 August 2012 compared to the full year gross margin of 10,0%.

Group consolidated net operating expenses were again well
controlled throughout the period under review and were R67,1
million compared to R61,1 million in the previous year, an
increase of only 8,9%. I am very pleased with this, especially in
light of the increases experienced in fuel and electricity during the
year. Staff costs were increased 1n line with CPIX during the period.

Group net profit before taxation for the period was R13,0 million
compared to R21,9 million in the prev1ous financial year, a decrease of
40,6%.

As always, our ability to manage our working capital and cash flow
remained a key focus area for the group's management and proved
1nvaluable in trading through the d1fficul: second holt of the yea1 and
R38,5 million was generated from operations compared to R4 1.2 million
in the previous year, a decrease of only R3.7 million or 6,6%. Lower
borrowings were reflected in decreased finance costs of R6.7 million
compared to R7,3 million in the prior period, a reduction of R0,6
million in interest (9%,).


4. Market and Prospects
The Foundry Segment has experienced mixed trading conditions
during the period under review mainly, due to the labour unrest
particular during the second half of the financial year.

The Steel Segment did initially show signs of improvement in the first half
of the year but the strike action in various industries together with the
Mittal Vanderbiljpark fire that stopped production for some months did have
a negative impact on this segment.

The Refractory Segment had the most stable trading conditions of all
segments and performed better than the previous year mainly due to the PPC
De Hoek upgrade project. Unfortunately the planned infrastructure spend
did not materialised in the year under review and this effected the
construction industry tremendously and had a negative impact on cement
demand, that in turn limited cement kiln repairs.

Generally this inability of    government   to   effectively spend budgets
allocated to infrastructure on said projects together with labour unrest
impacted negatively on certain product ranges and off-take volumes but we
are optimistic that systems have been put in place by the relevant
authorities in the current financial year to ensure that the R845 billion
budgeted for infrastructure uplift over the next three years, is in fact
spent on the planned projects.

This will have a very positive impact on our business.

Economic conditions in South Africa is under pressure and with    the GDP
growth rate being lower than expected, I believe the 2014 financial year,
will be one with some challenges and market conditions will stay relative
flat until such time the infrastructure spend kicks in and the ongoing
events in Europe show signs of stabilization.

Insimbi will continue targeting markets that are considered to be emerging
and the group will focus on these markets. We have a diverse range of
products on offering and with the re-opening of the secondary aluminium
smelter in Johannesburg (which was mothballed in 2010), the establishment of
a subsidiary company, Insimbi Nano Milling, which will be focusing on the
micronisation of a completely new range of products for new target markets,
and the addition of certain products to our basket, I am confident
that the group will continue to achieve satisfactory organic growth in
years to come.

As for acquisitive growth opportunities, we continue to look for and
carefully evaluate strategic targets and while we have not achieved the
number of acquisitions we had hoped for, post listing, the few that we
have achieved, have added value to the group’s results and we remain
committed to this acquisition strategy.


5. Special resolutions
At the Annual General Meeting held on 24 August 2012, it was resolved that
the directors be authorised to re-purchase up to 10% of the company shares
subject to certain conditions.

6. Post balance sheet events

It is worth mentioning the following:
the Insimbi Thermal Insulation business was closed on 31 March 2013. The
business was loss making and was accounted for as a discontinued operation
at year end. Certain products have been retained from this business and
will be sold through other group companies.

260 million shares in issue. Shares repurchased by a subsidiary and held
in treasury amounted to 8 743 331 shares at year end, which is disclosed

9. Dividends
