- Group turnover is up 5% compared to the same period last year
- Interim gross cash dividend declared of 15 cents per share
- Net asset value increased from 514 cents to 519,8 cents per share for
  the six months ended 31 August 2013

EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

We believe our overall results for the first half of the year are consistent with current market conditions.

We have seen a satisfactory increase in turnover for the period. Sharp increases in manufacturing
overheads led to a decline in both Gross Profit margins, as well as Net Profit after Tax.

The local Consumer/Automotive and Industrial divisions exceeded expectations and grew by 12%
compared to the previous period. Tough international market conditions had a negative impact on
our international division.

The acquisition of new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software during the period under review has 
brought about the increase in non-current assets and borrowings, as well as having an effect on the 
movements in the investing and financing activities in the statement of cash flows. We believe the 
benefits will more than justify this investment.

There have been no material related party transactions during the period under review.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

The special lubricants and allied chemicals division showed a slight increase in turnover. The
segment's profit is down due to unexpected increases in some of our manufacturing expenses.

The metal powders segment showed an increase of 14% in turnover. Special projects and a new
direction in terms of sales led to a 298% increase in profit from operations when compared to the
corresponding period last year.
