COMMENTARY
1. Performance for the six months to 30 June 2013
   Operations at the Group's Umlabu Colliery continue to be suspended pending the finalisation of the Water Use Licence
   Application (WULA) by the Department of Minerals and Resources (DMR). All assets and infrastructure are being maintained
   under a "Care and Maintenance" programme.

   The Group is utilising its logistical and infrastructural assets to generate rental income to offset the costs incurred while
   operations remain suspended. This has resulted in a greater than 10% movement in the following items reflected in the
   statement of comprehensive income:
   - Turnover
   - Cost of sales
   - Gross profit
   - Operating expenses

2.   Foreign exchange loss
     The depreciation of the US$/ZAR rate from R8,67 to R10,13 during the reporting period resulted in an unrealised loss of
     R50 million (2012: R3 million) on the shareholder's loan.

3.   Depreciation
     Depreciation charges of R7,8 million (2012: R14,5 million) are lower than the previous comparative period as a result of
     accelerated charges in the previous year.

4.   Statement of reserves and resources and prospects
     The are no changes to the Group's estimated reserves and resources.

5.   Financing activities
     Finance costs of R3,9 million (2012: R5,9 million) on shareholders' advances are at lower rates than liabilities to third parties
     repaid during the previous period.
     During the period the Group's major shareholder advanced a further R2,1 million to the Group for working capital purposes.
     Increases in the shareholder's loan relate to foreign exchange movements as discussed in note 2 above.

6.   Asset management
     Working capital requirements have been reduced by more than 10% during the period as a result of suspension of
     operations at Umlabu Colliery, this includes:
     - Inventory
     - Accounts receivable
     - Accounts payable

7.   Taxation
     No taxation has been provided as the Group has incurred a taxable loss for the period. No adjustment of the deferred
     tax provisions was made (2012: R3,5 million) as there was no change reduction in the carrying value of the mineral right
     or rehabilitation liability.

8.   Mining Rights
     The carrying value of Mining Rights is tested against expected economic benefit based on expected cash flows discounted
     to their present value to determine whether there is any impairment of the value of the Mineral Rights at year-end.
     No impairment was considered necessary.
     
     The following significant assumptions have been made in determining the economic value of mineral rights:
     - Selling Prices  the API4 index as quoted by McCloskeys;
     - Foreign Exchange  the forecast as quoted by The Standard Bank of South Africa Limited; and
     - Discount Rate  expected future cash flows have been discounted to their present value based on a Weighted Average
        Cost of Capital (WACC) of 19% (2012: 17,3%).

9.   Going concern
     The Group incurred a net loss of R63 million (2012: R35 million) during the six months. The Group's going concern has
     been underwritten by the support of JSW Energy (a company listed on the Indian stock exchanges) which operates
     through its subsidiary JSW Energy Natural Resources South Africa Proprietary Limited ("JSWENRSAL") supporting
     SACMH. JSW Energy has confirmed its support in writing of their intention to continue financial support of SACMH, subject
     to the following:
     - JSW obtains Board approval for additional funding at the time;
     - JSW fulfils all regulatory requirements as prescribed by Indian legislation; and
     - JSW remains the majority shareholder.
     
     In terms of the loan agreements JSW Energy has undertaken not to accept repayment of its loan accounts until such stage
     as SACMH's assets, fairly valued, exceed its liabilities.

10.  Events after the reporting period
     The loan from The Standard Bank of South Africa has been settled in full, the necessary funds were advanced by JSW
     Energy, India. Consequently all amounts due have been reclassified to current non-interest bearing liabilities.
     
     Other than the abovementioned, there have been no further subsequent events for the period ended 30 June 2013.

11.  Capital expenditure commitments
     The Group has no capital expenditure commitments.

12.  Contingencies and commitments
     There have been no changes from those disclosed in the Group's Integrated Report for the year ended 31 December 2012.

13.  Prospects
     Until such stage as approval of the WULA for the Voorslag reserve at Umlabu Colliery is received, operations will remain
     suspended. The Group is actively pursuing opportunities to lease its logistical and its infrastructural assets to third parties in
     the interim to offset the costs of Care and Maintenance'.

     No commitment has been received from the DMR with regard to finalisation of the WULA.
