Commentary

Introduction

Esorfranki's reviewed condensed consolidated interim results for the six months ended 31 August 2013
("the period") reflect mixed performances from the group's operations in still tough trading conditions.
Overall the group maintained satisfactory levels of revenue and work-on-hand.

Profitability was impacted by three loss-making contracts in the Civils division, which will be completed
within this financial year. Anticipated losses have been fully provided for and contracting practices have
been revised going forward.

The order book at the end of the period totalled R2,2 billion on a like-for-like basis compared to R2,1 billion
for the continuing operations at the end of the prior period.

Effective 18 November 2013, post the end of the period, the group disposed of the Geotechnical division
(see 'Events after the reporting date' below) for a cash consideration of R500 million, which is subject to
adjustment in terms of a formula contained in the sale agreement but which in aggregate will not exceed
an additional payment of R150 million after the three-year period on which this contingent consideration
is based.

This transaction will relieve cash constraints and position the company for growth. Focus going forward
will be on consolidation and improved contracting practices for greater efficiency and profitability.

The significant growth of Esorfranki Pipelines over the past two years has generated a healthy,
quality order book and satisfying profitability. The division has also entrenched a forceful presence in
KwaZulu-Natal where significant opportunity exists.

Esorfranki Civils has been revitalised by completely new management in the past year, which has seen
a new employee culture and revised contracting practices to position the division to benefit from further
growth in the social housing market and anticipated Government growth initiatives.

Financial results

Revenue from continuing operations increased 38,5% to R1,014 billion from R732 million in the comparative
period. Earnings before interest, depreciation, impairments, amortisation and taxation ("EBITDA") totalled
R28,0 million compared to R80,4 million.

The group posted a small headline profit compared to R25,4 million in the comparative period, which
translated into headline earnings per share of 0,01 cents (2012: 7,8 cents). Net asset value per share
("NAV") was higher at 291,7 cents from 267,9 cents.

Events after the reporting date

As announced on 9 October 2013, Esorfranki disposed of Esorfranki Geotechnical to international
ground engineering specialist, Keller Group plc ("Keller"), for R500 million with the potential for an
additional R150 million earn-out over three years.

Neither the geotechnical market in South Africa nor Esorfranki's share of that market has shown
meaningful growth over the last number of years. In addition, group research indicated that Keller
was intent on an aggressive sub-Saharan expansion strategy which, given Keller's scale and scope
of operations, would have subsumed Esorfranki's geotechnical presence in this region. With this in mind,
the board considered it to be in the best interests of shareholders to sell the Geotechnical division with
a longer term view to ensuring the group's sustainability.

The purchase consideration will be applied to effectively settle the outstanding debt on the high yield
bond programme, as well as to distribute a special dividend for shareholders (see 'Dividend' below).
Further detail is included in the circular posted to shareholders on 21 October 2013.

The transaction became unconditional on 18 November 2013.

Review of continued operations

Revenue in Esorfranki Civils increased 14% to R681,9 million from R598 million in the comparative period.
Three loss-making contracts led to a loss before tax of R31,6 million (August 2012: profit before tax
R28,7 million), namely the Kriel main civils and highwall contract; a road contract for Roads Agency
Limpopo; and the Bakwena N4 toll road. These contracts will be concluded in the six months ahead.
Positively, progress was made on further settlement of claims in respect of the Kusile contract.

The new management has instituted a comprehensive review of the division's operations, resulting
in a number of overhaul initiatives: revising cost to completion forecasts; adopting additional
contingencies against exposure on certain contracts; an operational restructuring and right-sizing;
and the sale of redundant plant. Under the leadership of Mark Rippon, a Management Development
Programme has been introduced to ensure the "right person for the right job".

The group, and in particular the Civils division, experienced significant disruption due to labour
unrest both internally and strikes in adjacent areas that impacted on certain sites, including the
Bakwena N4 toll road and Kusile.

The fledgling Esorfranki Developments division, which focuses on developing land for social housing
projects, has progressed well with a five-year pipeline of over R4 billion secured. Development projects
include Orchards, a 1 373-unit entry level housing estate in Pretoria valued at R340 million; Diepsloot East,
a more than 8 500-unit mixed development encompassing infrastructure work, pedestrian bridges,
'breaking new ground' housing and institutional rental and bonded units valued in excess of R1,5 billion;
Uitvlugt, a 4 500-unit entry/middle income unit development in Vereeniging valued at R1,35 billion; a
R135 million 900-unit entry level unit development in Shoshanguwe; and two housing contracts in
Kokstad – The Muzumbe 500-unit development valued at R33 million and Thimude, a 1 000-unit project
valued at R65 million.

Esorfranki Pipelines proved that it has decisively overcome its recent setbacks with strong results reflecting
profitable contract execution. The division recorded triple-digit revenue growth of 117% to R324 million
(August 2012: R149 million). Profit before tax increased 198% to R31 million (August 2012: R10,4 million).
The division saw a number of positive new contract awards. The R40 million project in Swaziland – its first
outside of South Africa – is progressing well and is set for completion by December 2013. The Umlass Road
and Stanger projects, valued at R131 million and R185 million respectively, are also progressing well.

Post period-end the division was awarded the R156 million Northern Aqueduct project as well as a
sanitation contract for Ethekwini rural schools.

Esorfranki Pipelines has successfully widened its geographic reach and now has a presence in
KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Gauteng, North West and Swaziland, and is also tendering in Zimbabwe.

Review of discontinued operations

Revenue in Esorfranki Geotechnical increased 13% to R464,2 million (August 2012: R410,3 million). Profit
before tax ("PBT") decreased 33,6% to R26,1 million (August 2012: R39,2 million). Profit margins for the
period were 5,6%, with foreign operations achieving a PBT margin of 17,6% and contributing the majority
of the division's gross profit. These operations are reflected as discontinued operations.

Safety

The group's Lost Time Injury Frequency Ratio ("LTIFR") of 0,74 at period-end is significantly better than the
industry norm of 1,33. Nonetheless, effort is being applied to return this to below the group's tolerance
level of 0,6.

Competition Commission update

Further to previous announcements and updates, Esorfranki has co-operated fully with the Competition
Commission in its fast-track investigation into the construction industry. The group has paid an
administrative fine of R155 850 in full and final settlement of the matter.

An ongoing dispute regarding an investigation into alleged anti-competitive behaviour in the piling and
drilling industry remains with the Competition Tribunal. This dispute concerns allegations related to historical
transgressions by Franki Africa prior to that company's acquisition by the group, and by the then-named
Esor Proprietary Limited prior to listing. This has been fully provided for in the results.

CAPEX

During the period the group invested R26,8 million (August 2012: R126 million) to improve operational
efficiencies and increase capacity in anticipation of long-term contracts which are now in hand.
In terms of the fleet rationalisation programme, aimed at a less maintenance intensive fleet and lower
CO2 emissions, plant was disposed of totalling R41,5 million.

Transformation

Esorfranki remains a 'Level 4' contributor in terms of the Department of Trade and Industry's B-BBEE Codes of
Good Practice. Considerable effort continues to be channelled into improving to Level 3 in the short term.

As announced on 24 June 2013, neither of the proposed off-market BEE equity transactions has been
pursued. It is the company's intention to increase the shareholding of the Esor Broad Based Share
Ownership Scheme in the near future to a more meaningful level and, in addition, to explore possible
alternative opportunities.

The group continues to invest heavily in enterprise development with eight SMMEs currently receiving
Esorfranki's support.

Prospects

Notwithstanding continued difficult conditions, tender activity in both the private and Government sectors
has increased. Government currently accounts for 24% of Esorfranki Civils' order book, with 57% from
parastatals and the remaining 19% from the private sector. This has been bolstered by additions to existing
contracts at Kusile for a general services pipeline, terraces, underground services and crushing, together
valued at more than R1,1 billion. Certain work on these projects is being conducted in joint venture with
two of Esorfranki's enterprise development beneficiaries, Kulani and Masibuyisane.

With the right-sizing and restructuring of Esorfranki Civils now complete, and with the new management at
the helm, the division is well positioned to capitalise on future opportunities.

The order book for Esorfranki Pipelines remains solid at R407 million, with a number of new projects coming
to market. The ongoing expansion outside of South Africa is expected to continue.

Directorate

During the period Dr Oswald Franks was appointed as an independent non-executive director with
effect from 23 May 2013. Monhla Hlahla, who was appointed as an independent non-executive director
effective 23 May 2013, subsequently resigned post the period (29 October 2013) to pursue other business
interests.

Dividend

In line with group policy, no interim dividend has been declared. It remains the policy of the group
to review the dividend policy annually in light of cash flow, gearing, capital requirements and bank
covenants.

Shareholders were notified in an announcement dated 18 November 2013 that following the disposal of
the Geotechnical division becoming effective, the board declared a special gross dividend of 38 cents
per share from income reserves. The net amount of the special dividend is 32,3 cents per Esorfranki share,

Statement of compliance

The reviewed condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period have been prepared
in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the
Accounting Practices Committee and also, as a minimum, to contain the information required by IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting, the JSE Listings Requirements and the requirements of the Companies Act of
South Africa. During the year the following accounting standards, interpretations and amendments to
published accounting standards were adopted: IAS 19 and IFRS 10-12. There was no significant impact on
the financial results as a result of adopting these standards.

Auditor's independent review

These condensed consolidated financial results for the period have been reviewed by the company's
auditors, KPMG Inc., in terms of International Standards on Review Engagements 2410. The scope of
the review was to enable the auditors to report that nothing had come to their attention that caused
them to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements are not
presented, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting and the South
African Companies Act. Their unmodified review report on the condensed consolidated interim financial
statements is available for inspection at the registered office of the company.
