During the 2012 financial year Pro Roof Steel Merchants (Pty) Ltd 
and its subsidiaries (PRSM) had a professional valuer re-assess 
the recoverable amounts of a specific line of plant and equipment 
resulting in an impairment of R47 million before deferred tax.
PRSM also scrapped plant and equipment to the value of R21 million 
at the December 2012 year end, which had no material future economic 
benefits. The plant and equipment of the Nelspruit operation, which 
was disposed of as a going concern with effect from 1 March 2013, 
was classified as non-current assets held for sale during the 2012 
financial year.

3. Derivative financial liability

In 2012, Kilken Platinum (Pty) Ltd (Kilken) hedged 30% of its cash 
flow from the production revenue of platinum, palladium and gold in 
favour of a financier in line with its funding requirements. The 
hedge mitigates the cash flow risk related to commodity price 
fluctuations and movements in the ZAR/USD exchange rate in order to 
repay the funding facility to the financier.

In accordance with IAS39, R79,8 million of the cash flow hedge was 
recognised as a hedging instrument at fair value in the statements of 
financial position at 31 December 2012, without taking account of any 
collateral held or other credit enhancements, over the remainder of 
the hedge contract term which started on 1 September 2012 and will 
end on 30 September 2018. This resulted in a R57,5 million loss after
deferred taxation in other comprehensive income and a cash flow hedge 
reserve of R48,1 million, net of non-controlling interests in the 
statements of financial position.

For the period ended 30 June 2013 a R3,7 million loss after deferred 
tax has been recognised in other comprehensive income and an increase 
in the cash flow hedge reserve of R3,1 million, net of
non-controlling interests in the statements of financial position. 
The fair value of the cash flow hedge is apportioned between
current and non-current liabilities depending on the remaining 
maturity period of the derivative contract and its contractual cash 
flows. The cash flow hedge cost is accounted for as either a profit 
or a loss as it becomes effective and the settlements are
actually made over the duration of the term of the hedge contract.

Financial review
Andulelas results for the six months to 30 June 2013 reflect a 
headline profit of R2,9 million compared to a headline loss of 
R8,4 million for the comparable period ended 30 June 2012. Kilken 
produced excellent results for the six months, while PRSMs loss 
reduced from R12,0 million for the six months to 30 June 2012 to 
R6,3 million for the current period. The weakening of the Rand
against the US Dollar had a negative effect on the cash flow hedge 
over the last six months, resulting in a further R3,7 million loss 
being recognised against other comprehensive income for the reporting 
period.

While the cash balances of the group improved since its year-end, 
this was negated by the increased inventory levels at PRSM, partially 
due to unplanned stoppages at its main steel supplier which firstly 
resulted in inventory shortages, and then excess inventory levels 
when the supplier cleared its back-orders, and an increase in 
short-term borrowings.

Andulela redeemed a further R10,4 million of its preference share 
capital during the period under review, with a balance of 
R43,7 million outstanding as at 30 June 2013.
As mentioned in the 2012 Integrated Annual Report, management is 
considering all its options with regard to the operations of PRSM, 
as it continues to trade below expectations in the current weak 
market conditions.

Kilken
Andulela holds an effective interest of 83,6% in Kilken, which in 
turn has a 70% interest in the Kilken/Imbani Joint Venture (the 
JV). The JV processes tailings from Rustenburg Platinum Mines 
Limited (RPM), extracts the PGM concentrate, and sells it to RPM 
at market related prices. Over the last six months Kilkens
revenue increased by 21% due to improved processing of the
tailings and an increase in average production volumes of 13,4% in
PGM concentrate per month, compared to the comparable period to 30
June 2012. The average basket price of the PGMs also increased by
12,7% over the comparable period. The cash flow hedge however limited 
the overall attributable revenue increase for the company to 21%, 
compared to the revenue increase of the JV of 27,5% over the same 
period. Overall, Kilken increased its profit after tax for the six 
months to 30 June 2013 by 25% compared to the profit after tax for 
the six months ended 30 June 2012. Certain suppliers service 
contracts have been renegotiated with effect from 1 July 2013 and 
should contribute to increased profits from this company. 

PRSM
As a result of an unplanned shutdown by its main supplier in 
February 2013 due to severe damage at its Vanderbijlpark plant, a 
number of industry players (including PRSM) imported additional 
material to deal with the resultant inventory shortage. This, together 
with the supplier clearing its back-orders, resulted in the industry 
and PRSM having a substantial oversupply and consequently inventory 
being sold at or below cost.

The Polokwane operation has been closed, the KZN operation scaled 
down to a distribution centre and the Nelspruit operation was sold at 
net asset value with effect from 1 March 2013, resulting in improved 
profit margins for PRSM and contributing to the reduction of the loss 
after tax from R12.0 million for June 2012 to R6.3 million for the 
six months ended 30 June 2013. Finance costs increased due to the 
high debt levels of PRSM.
Overall the domestic steel market remains weak as a result of the 
global slowdown and this is expected to continue in the short term 
and hence impact the local demand for steel and PRSMs sales volumes.
The above factors, together with the other operational restructuring 
initiatives of PRSM, contributed to the decline in overall revenue in 
the period to June 2013, compared to the same period in 2012.

Events subsequent to the period end
Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcement released on
18 September 2013 advising them that the company has entered into 
negotiations for the disposal of the companys interest in PRSM, 
which if successfully concluded may have a material effect on the
price of the companys securities. Shareholders are accordingly 
advised to exercise caution when dealing in the companys securities 
until a further announcement is made.

Commitments
There are no outstanding capital commitments for the group as at
30 June 2013.
