1. Introduction

    Revenue increased by                                                                          9%

    Gross profit increased by                                                                     2%


    Ububele is pleased to present its financial results for the year ended 30 June 2013.


    Although the weakening of the rand and extreme weather conditions in some parts of South Africa severely affected our

    results, we do believe that the platform was laid for a positive agriculture focused future, with our continuous 

    spending on research and development and selling of non-core assets. This restructuring process, which we started more 

    than a year ago, resulted in an increase of R18 million in profitability for the comparative period.


    The past year was characterised by major price fluctuations, which were caused by macro-economic factors like the

    debt crisis in the European Union, the decline in economic growth in China, and tension in the Middle East, which

    support crude oil prices.


    The drought in the USA led to higher commodity prices. The prices for maize were 20% higher, for soybeans 18% higher

    and for wheat 13% higher than a year ago. However, due to the stronger dollar and euro, but also because of strikes 

    in the labour sector, the rand weakened by 21% against the dollar. The weaker rand supported higher local commodity

    prices, but unfortunately also led to higher prices for input cost.


    Although these commodity prices were high, given the macro-economic conditions, the late-season dry spell in February

    and March resulted in farmers not taking full reward in these price increases and resulted in a 3,5% smaller maize 
 
    crop for the year.


    The smaller output and the substantial increase in input costs made it a difficult year for most grain farmers and

    agriculture roleplayers. Given the drought in other major producing countries like America, we foresee commodity

    prices staying high and set our hopes on a stronger rand, lower oil price, good rains, increased outputs and more

    available money for agriculture.


    Considering the challenges that we face in food security, most farmers rely on innovation in all the fields of 

    agricultural sciences to offer solutions in the ever-demanding productivity cycle. 


    One key area where we believe there exists a massive need is the monitoring, analysis and dissemination of accurate 

    field level climate data. Understanding the effect of climate today, as well as the future impact of changing climate 

    conditions on our production systems, will be vital to ensure that our farmers remain competitive.


    Ububele Agri Science, through its Enviro Crop Protection business, is investing in climate monitoring systems 

    (weather stations) in our key regions where we operate and aim to add this technical innovation to our current 

    service and advice to our clients.


    During the year under review, the Group purchased the remainder of Flamingo's share capital from minorities for an

    amount of R7 000 500. The Company already had control over Flamingo, and its assets and liabilities were fully

    consolidated.


    Save for the strategic investment in our airline catering company, the Group finalised the closing down of the 

    high-risk, low-margin food division during the period under review. We look forward to focusing our resources and 

    expertise to grow and expand our agricultural division in the years to come.


2.  Commentary on results

    The lack of rain in the later parts of January and February over the North West Province and Free State had an

    impact on our results for the comparative period. The hot and dry conditions caused huge yield losses for farmers

    and resulted in less spending by farmers. Revenue for the comparative period therefore only increased by a

    moderate 9%.


    This moderate increase in sales led to a minimal 2% increase in the Group's gross profit, mainly due to the

    substantial increase in our raw material import cost, caused by the more than 21% weakening of the rand against

    the US dollar exchange rate.


    Included in other income is a profit on sale of Unique Dairy Products' shares of R1 232 488.


    The weakening of the rand was also severely felt in the R23 million increase in operating costs, which includes a

    foreign exchange loss of R4,5 million and a provision for doubtful debt of R8,3 million.


    Petrol, oil and transport cost increased by R1,2 million as a result of the 31% increase in the rand crude oil 
   
    price for the year.


    Legal expenditure increased by R2,7 million, the majority of which can be attributed to the collection of outstanding

    litigation amounts on contractual matters and corporate action towards the end of the financial year, which should

    not be recurring events.


    Finance charges increased by 21% due to the term loan for the acquisition of Enviro Crop Protection and higher

    interest rates on loans payable, while investment revenue increased by 38% due to later payment by farmers ­

    another negative effect of the adverse weather conditions.


    The 34% decrease in property, plant and equipment is mainly due to the sale of Unique Dairy Products on 

    30  November 2012.


    The increase of 48% in intangible assets was due to research and development costs of R3,3 million capitalised

    during the year and Sage X3 software and development costs of R2,3 million capitalised during the year.


    Included in non-current loans payable, is a building loan from Bank Windhoek of R6,8 million to finance the new

    kitchen facilities at Hosea Kutako International Airport.


3.  Basis of presentation and accounting policies

    Nolands Inc., the Group's independent auditor, has reviewed the provisional financial statements contained in this

    provisional report and has expressed an unmodified conclusion on the provisional financial statements. The review

    report is available for inspection at the Company's registered office. The Group reviewed provisional results for the

    year ended 30 June 2013 have been prepared using the accounting policies applied by the Company in its 30 June 2012 

    annual report which are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, IAS 34 Interim Financial 

    Reporting, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee, the

    South African Companies Act, 2008 (Act 71 of 2008), as amended, and the JSE Listings Requirements.


    The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, as at 30 June 2012, has been restated for the

    reclassification of commission paid between cost of sales and operating expenses. This resulted in an increase in

    cost of sales of R54 399 130, with a corresponding decrease in operating expenses.


    This reclassification was done in order to provide increased disclosure and because the directors felt that it gave a

    better reflection of the classification of expenses. There has been no impact on profit, statement of financial

    position, statement of changes in equity or statement of cash flows.


    The statement of financial position as at 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011 has been restated for the reclassification of

    distributions retained from agents from loans payable to trade and other payables. This resulted in an increase in

    trade and other payables of R23 079 514 (30 June 2012) and R25 795 199 (30 June 2011), with a corresponding

    decrease in loans payable.


    This reclassification was done in order to provide increased disclosure and because the directors felt that it gave a

    better reflection of the classification of amounts payable. There has been no impact on profit, statement of profit or

    loss and other comprehensive income or statement of changes in equity.


    Included in discontinued operations in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for 2012, are

    the profits and losses from Unique Dairy Products, which was stated in continuing operations in the prior year.


4.  Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill

    During the period under review, the Company impaired the following intangible assets and goodwill:

    Given the decision taken in 2012 to primarily disinvest from the food sector, the board of directors decided to

    impair the remaining Just Fresh brand. This brand currently holds minimal usage at our airline catering company

    in Namibia.


5.  Discontinued operations or disposal groups or non-current assets held for sale
 
    During the period under review, the Company disposed of its equity share and claims in Unique Dairy Products (Pty)

    Limited (UDP). The disposal forms part of the Company's strategy to disinvest in the short to medium term from the 
 
    food sector and divert all of its available resources and effort into the agricultural and services sectors.


    During the 2012 financial year, the Group decided to discontinue its fruit and vegetable operations in Cape Town,

    Just Fruit & Veg (Pty) Limited. The assets and liabilities of this company was sold on 19 May 2012 for an amount 

    of R2 million.


    So Gourmet (Pty) Limited was also liquidated during the 2012 financial year, and the decision was taken to

    discontinue Linktrade Foods (Pty) Limited.


    The decision was taken by the board to discontinue these operations due to a lack of return on investment.


                                                                                         2013                     2012

    Fair value hierarchy of financial assets at fair value

    For financial assets recognised at fair value, disclosure is required of a fair value hierarchy which reflects the

    significance of the inputs used to make the measurements.


    Level 1 represents those assets which are measured using unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets.


    Level 2 applies inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets either directly (as prices) or

    indirectly (derived from prices).


    Level 3 applies inputs which are not based on observable market data (unobservable input).

    
    Level 3

    Unlisted shares                                                                5 179 892                 4 565 856


    These unlisted investments' valuations were based on the net asset value of the company invested in.


8.  Acquisition of non-controlling interests

    During the period under review, the Group purchased the remainder of Flamingo In-Flight Catering's share capital

    from minorities for an amount of R7 000 500. The company already had control over Flamingo, and its assets and 

    liabilities were fully consolidated.


    Following several years of negotiations, Flamingo signed a 15-year lease with the option to renew for another five

    years with Namibia Airports Company on 1 August 2012.


9.  Segment information

    The Group has two operating segments as described below, which are the Group's strategic business units. The

    strategic business units are managed separately as they offer entirely different services. For each of the strategic

    business units, the board reviews internal management reports on at least a quarterly basis. The following summary

    describes the operations in each of the Group's reportable segments, being Foods, Namibia and Agriculture.

    Included in the Namibia segment is the strategic investment in Namibia, Mediva Group Holdings. In prior financial

    years, the Namibia segment was included in Foods.


    Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below.


    Performance is measured based on segment profit before interest and income tax, as included in the internal

    management reports. Segment profit before net finance income/expenses and income tax is used to measure

    performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain

    segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries.

10. Events after the reporting date


    On 1 July 2013, the Group acquired 51% of the voting equity interest of Turf-Ag Products (Pty) Limited which resulted in

    the Group obtaining control over Turf-Ag Products (Pty) Limited. Turf-Ag imports and distributes agricultural and turf

    irrigation equipment. Turf-Ag operates throughout South Africa and supplies products to the agriculture and turf market. 

    The Company holds the distribution rights to the well-known American irrigation brand, Hunter.



    The rationale for the acquisition is that it will add complementary products to the basket of products currently supplied

    to Ububele clients. In addition, Ububele is in the process of installing approximately 100 weather stations throughout

    South Africa over a three-year period, to provide its clients with accurate, up to date weather information. Ububele

    considers water management to be a critical future resource focus area in Africa. With its new investment into water
