*Previously money market funds were treated as a separate reconciling item in the cash flow statement. The movements in
 these funds were reclassified as the nature of these items relate more closely to investing activities. Consequently, the
 comparative cash flow from investing activities changed from an inflow of R124 million (which was reported in the 2012
 financial year) to an outflow of R495 million.

Statutory matters

Incorporation substituted the existing Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, in compliance with the
Companies Act (No. 71 of 2008), as amended.

Simultaneously, the Company's authorised and issued ordinary shares with a par value of R0.01 each were converted into
authorised and issued ordinary shares of no par value and the authorised and issued B ordinary shares with a par value of
R0.10 each were converted into authorised and issued B ordinary shares of no par value. As a result, the Company's share
premium was also converted to stated capital.

 involving previous cancellations of treasury shares, while the third matter amounting to R736 million, related to the disposal
 of investments. During the year under review all three disputes have been resolved in Remgro's favour.

     accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act (No. 71 of 2008), as amended, and the Listings
     Requirements of the JSE Limited. The financial statements have been prepared under the supervision of the Chief
     Financial Officer, Leon Crouse CA(SA).

     These financial statements incorporate accounting policies that have been consistently applied to both years
     presented, with the exception of the implementation of the amendments to IAS1: Presentation of Financial
     Statements. The adoption of the amended accounting standard only affected disclosure and had no impact on the
     results of either the current or prior years.

2.   COMPARISON WITH PRIOR YEAR

     During October 2012 Mediclinic International Limited (Mediclinic) incurred material once-off charges relating to
     the comprehensive refinancing of its Swiss and South African debt. These once-off items included the following:
         -   the derecognition of the mark-to-market liability relating to the Swiss interest rate swap of R3 531 million
             (R3 311 million after tax);
         -   accelerated amortisation charges of capitalised financing expenses of R163 million (R129 million after
             tax);
         -   loan breakage charges of R54 million (R39 million after tax) relating to existing South African debt;
         -   Swiss stamp duty of R41 million (R41 million after tax); and
         -   a realised gain of R574 million (R574 million after tax) on foreign exchange forward contracts.

     Remgro's share of these once-off items amounted to a loss of R1 312 million.

     Due to the materiality of the amounts involved, headline earnings and headline earnings per share are also presented
     by excluding Remgro's share of Mediclinic's refinancing costs referred to above.

3.   RESULTS
     Reporting platforms
     During the year under review the platforms under which the results of investee companies are being reported, were
     changed. This change aligns public reporting with internal reporting to the Remgro Board. Comparative figures
     have been presented accordingly.

     Previously investee companies were classified under the following reporting platforms  Financial services,
     Industrial interests, Media interests, Mining interests, Technology interests, Other investments, as well as Central
     treasury and Other net corporate assets. As from 30 June 2013 investee companies will be reported under the
     following reporting platforms  Food, liquor and home care, Banking, Healthcare, Insurance, Industrial,
     Infrastructure, Media and sport, Other investments, as well as Central treasury and Other net corporate assets.

     Headline earnings
     Headline earnings for the year to 30 June 2013 amounted to R4 387 million compared to R5 113 million for the
     year to 30 June 2012, representing a decrease of 14.2%. Headline earnings per share decreased by 14.1% from
     994.6 cents to 854.3 cents.

     However, excluding the effect of the once-off items relating to Mediclinic's refinancing transaction referred to
     earlier, headline earnings increased by 11.5% from R5 113 million to R5 699 million, whereas headline earnings per
     share increased by 11.6% from 994.6 cents to 1 109.8 cents.

Refer to Annexures A and B for segmental information

     Food, liquor and home care
     The contribution from food, liquor and home care to Remgro's headline earnings amounted to R1 120 million
     (2012: R1 240 million), representing a decrease of 9.7%. This decrease is mainly the result of a lower contribution
     from RCL Foods (previously Rainbow Chicken), which contributed R20 million to headline earnings
     (2012: R197 million). Cheap competitive chicken imports and high input costs are continuing to impact RCL Foods'
     results negatively. For the two months since acquisition, Foodcorp's contribution to RCL Foods' operating profit
     amounted to R99 million. Foodcorp's earnings for the two months were, however, materially affected by a
     R71 million adjustment to the value of its euro denominated debt resulting from the weakening of the rand from
     1 May to 30 June. Unilever's contribution to headline earnings increased by 16.1% to R426 million
     (2012: R367 million). This increase is mainly due to an increase in sales volume, as well as improved margins.
     Distell's contribution to Remgro's headline earnings, which includes the investments in Capevin Holdings and
     Capevin Investments, amounted to R363 million (2012: R324 million). Distell's improved financial results reflect
     satisfactory revenue growth as well as the positive influence of a weaker rand. TSB's contribution to headline
     earnings amounted to R311 million (2012: R352 million).

     Banking
     The contribution from the banking division amounted to R2 052 million (2012: R1 770 million), representing an
     increase of 15.9%. It should be noted that Remgro's interest in RMBH reduced since December 2011 due to
     Remgro facilitating the RMBH empowerment transaction by selling a portion of its interest to Royal Bafokeng.
     Both FirstRand and RMBH reported good headline earnings growth of 19.6% and 20.3% respectively, mainly due
     to strong operational performances in FNB, WesBank and RMB.

     Healthcare
     Mediclinic's contribution to Remgro's headline earnings amounted to a loss of R385 million (2012: R491 million
     profit). This decrease in profit was mainly due to the effect of the once-off items relating to Mediclinic's refinancing
     transaction referred to earlier. Excluding these once-off items, Mediclinic's contribution to Remgro's headline
     earnings would have increased by 88.8% to R927 million.

     Insurance
     RMI Holdings is the only investment being reported under insurance interests. During December 2011 Remgro also
     sold a portion of its interest in RMI Holdings to Royal Bafokeng. RMI Holdings reported a decline of 8.7% in
     headline earnings, with 21.5% and 3.2% lower earnings in OUTsurance and Discovery respectively, partly offset
     with good earnings growth by MMI Holdings (14.2%).

     Industrial
     Total South Africa's contribution to Remgro's headline earnings amounted to R258 million (2012: R124 million).
     Total South Africa reported substantial favourable stock revaluations during the year under review, compared to
     negative stock revaluations in the comparative period. Remgro's share of the results of KTH amounted to
     R149 million (2012: R93 million). This increase in KTH's contribution is mainly attributable to Remgro's higher
     interest in KTH, as well as the once-off initial recognition of deferred income tax in the previous year on its
     investments accounted for at fair value through profit and loss, resulting in a lower earnings base in the comparative
     period. Air Products' and Wispeco's contribution to headline earnings amounted to R180 million and R64 million
     respectively (2012: R181 million and R44 million), while PGSI contributed R10 million to Remgro's headline
     earnings (2012: R1 million).

     Infrastructure
     Grindrod's contribution to Remgro's headline earnings amounted to R144 million (2012: R88 million for the eight
     months since acquisition). For the year under review, the CIV group contributed R59 million to headline earnings
     (2012: R85 million). SEACOM reported a headline loss of R3 million for the year under review
     (2012: R109 million loss), with Remgro's share of this loss being less than R1 million (2012: R27 million).

     Media and sport
     Media and sport interests primarily consist of the interests in Sabido and Premier Team Holdings (PTH). Sabido's
     contribution to Remgro's headline earnings amounted to R148 million (2012: R129 million), while PTH's
     contribution to headline earnings amounted to a loss of R39 million (2012: R35 million loss).

     Mining
     Until the unbundling of Implats to Remgro shareholders during June 2012, Implats was the only remaining
     investment being reported under mining interests. Dividends received from Implats during the comparative year
     amounted to R148 million.

     Other investments
     The contribution from other investments to headline earnings amounted to R57 million (2012: R17 million), of
     which Business Partners' contribution was R32 million (2012: R12 million).

     Central treasury and other net corporate costs
     The contribution from the central treasury division amounted to R3 million (2012: R140 million). This decrease
     mainly resulted from foreign exchange losses of R98 million on the hedging of the repatriation of a portion of
     Remgro's offshore cash balances in anticipation of the RCL Foods rights offer early in March 2013. Other net
     corporate costs amounted to R102 million (2012: R141 million). This decrease is mainly the result of the net after-
     tax underwriting fee of R46 million received on the Mediclinic rights offer.

     Total earnings
     Total earnings decreased by 52.2% to R4 438 million (2012: R9 284 million), mainly as a result of capital gains
     amounting to R4 047 million realised on the disposal of RMBH shares and RMI shares to Royal Bafokeng, the
     disposal of Tracker and the unbundling of the investment in Implats in the comparative year, combined with the
     Mediclinic once-off refinancing losses in the year under review.

4.   INTRINSIC NET ASSET VALUE
     Remgro's intrinsic net asset value per share increased by 34.2% from R152.61 at 30 June 2012 to R204.83 at
     30 June 2013. Refer to Annexure B for full details.

5.   INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
     The most important investment activities during the year under review were as follows:

     Mediclinic International Limited (Mediclinic)
     During October 2012, Mediclinic completed a comprehensive refinancing of its Swiss and South African debt. As
     part of the transaction Mediclinic raised new equity amounting to R5.0 billion through a rights offer which Remgro
     agreed to underwrite.

     In terms of the rights offer, Remgro acquired a further 75 788 206 Mediclinic shares for a total consideration of
     R2 169.8 million. As the rights offer was oversubscribed, Remgro did not acquire any additional shares in
     Mediclinic in terms of the underwriting agreement. On 30 June 2013 Remgro's effective interest in Mediclinic was
     44.4% (2012: 45.0%).

     RCL Foods Limited (RCL Foods)
     On 1 May 2013 RCL Foods acquired an effective 64.2% interest in New Foodcorp Holdings Proprietary Limited
     (Foodcorp) for a total consideration of R1 026 million. Foodcorp brings a strong portfolio of brands into the RCL
     Foods stable and will help to diversify RCL Foods' earnings stream into different products and markets.

     In terms of IFRS 3: Business Combinations assets, liabilities and a non-controlling interest amounting to
     R6 576 million, R7 837 million and R331 million respectively was acquired in terms of the transaction, resulting in
     goodwill of R2 618 million being recognised. Foodcorp's contribution to revenue and operating profit since 1 May
     2013 was R1 217 million and R99 million respectively. Had Foodcorp been consolidated from 1 July 2012, the
     contribution to revenue and operating profit would have amounted to R6 471 million and R502 million respectively.

     Effective 9 May 2013 RCL Foods also acquired a 49% shareholding in Zam Chick Limited (Zam Chick) for
     $14.25 million. Zam Chick is the broiler operation of Zambeef plc of Zambia, itself a fully, integrated agribusiness
     listed on the Lusaka and London stock exchanges. This transaction is aligned to RCL Foods' strategy to expand into
     sub-Saharan Africa.

     RCL Foods funded the purchase consideration of both acquisitions referred to above out of a portion of the
     proceeds of the R3.9 billion rights offer that was completed early in March 2013. Together with the shares acquired
     as underwriter of the rights offer, Remgro acquired a further 219.6 million RCL Foods shares for a total
     consideration of R3 118.6 million, thereby increasing its effective interest in RCL Foods to 75.9% (2012: 73.4%).

     On 1 July 2013 RCL Foods announced that it had acquired an additional 23.9% interest in Foodcorp from Foodcorp
     management for a total cash consideration of R393 million, thereby increasing its effective interest in Foodcorp to
     88.1%.

     In order to reflect RCL Foods' new strategy of creating a diversified Foods business, RCL Foods shareholders
     approved the proposed change of name of the company from Rainbow Chicken Limited to RCL Foods Limited on
     2 August 2013.

     Pembani Remgro Infrastructure Fund (PRIF)
     PRIF has been established as a joint initiative between Remgro and Mr Phuthuma Nhleko and focuses on
     investments in infrastructure companies and projects (and related industries) across the African continent. During
     November 2012, Remgro invested R500 million in PRIF which was used to partly fund its $75 million investment in
     the Export Trading Group (ETG). ETG owns and manages a vertically integrated agriculture infrastructure supply
     chain in sub-Saharan Africa with operations in procurement, processing, warehousing, logistics, distribution and
     merchandising.

     Kagiso Tiso Holdings Proprietary Limited (RF) (KTH)
     During August 2012, Remgro increased its shareholding in KTH by acquiring a further 7.2% interest for a total
     amount of R486.1 million, thereby increasing its interest from 25.1% to 32.3%.

     Dark Fibre Africa Proprietary Limited (Dark Fibre)
     During the year under review Remgro invested a further R157.4 million directly in Dark Fibre. This investment
     increased Remgro's total direct and indirect interest in Dark Fibre to 50.8% (2012: 49.6%).

     Grindrod Limited (Grindrod)
     During the year under review Remgro acquired a further 9 178 903 Grindrod shares for a total amount of
     R135.8 million. These acquisitions increased Remgro's effective interest in Grindrod to 25.0% (24.6% on a fully
     diluted basis), compared to 23.5% on 30 June 2012.

     Business Partners Limited (Business Partners)
     During the year under review Remgro acquired a further 21 768 223 Business Partners shares for a total amount of
     R120.3 million. On a fully diluted basis, Remgro's interest in Business Partners increased to 42.5% (2012: 29.0%).

     Capevin Holdings Limited (Capevin Holdings)
     During August 2012, Capevin Holdings acquired all the shares in Capevin Investments Limited (Capevin
     Investments) not already held by it through the issue of 21 Capevin Holdings shares for every 1 Capevin
     Investments share acquired.

     On 30 June 2013 Remgro's indirect interest in Distell Group Limited was 33.4% (2012: 33.5%).

     Other smaller investments, amounting to R757.5 million, were made during the year under review in, inter alia,
     the Milestone China Funds and Premier Team Holdings Limited.

6.   TREASURY SHARES
     At 30 June 2012, 2 279 155 Remgro ordinary shares (0.5%) were held as treasury shares by a wholly owned
     subsidiary company of Remgro. As previously reported, these shares were acquired for the purpose of hedging
     Remgro's share incentive schemes.

     During the year under review Remgro repurchased a further 2 710 000 Remgro ordinary shares at an average price
     of R149.56 per share for a total amount of R405 million, while 1 556 054 Remgro ordinary shares were utilised to
     settle Remgro's obligation towards scheme participants who exercised the rights granted to them.

     At 30 June 2013, 3 433 101 Remgro ordinary shares (0.7%) were held as treasury shares.
