FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE RELATED PARTY ACQUISITION OF NOSA
GLOBAL HOLDINGS AND WITHDRAWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT



 1.   INTRODUCTION

 Further to the ‘Related Party Acquisition of NOSA Global Holdings and Cautionary Announcement’ released
 on SENS on 18 October 2013, and the subsequent ‘Renewal of Cautionary Announcements’, the last of
 which was dated 16 January 2014, and using the terms defined therein unless otherwise stated,
 shareholders are advised that all conditions precedent relating to the Acquisition have been fulfilled and
 accordingly, the Acquisition will be effective from 1 October 2013.


 2.   FAIRNESS OPINION

 Taking into consideration the terms and conditions of the Acquisition, the Independent Expert, an
 independent advisor acceptable to the JSE Limited (“JSE”) and appointed by the board of directors of the
 Company to provide an independent fairness opinion on the Acquisition, is of the opinion that the
 Acquisition is fair to MICROmega shareholders. The fairness opinion will be available for inspection at the
 Company’s registered office for a period of 28 days from the date of this announcement.


 3.   PRO FORMA FINANCIAL EFFECTS

 The table below sets out the unaudited pro forma financial effects of the Acquisition on MICROmega’s
 earnings per share, headline earnings per share, net asset value per share and tangible net asset value per
 share.

 The unaudited pro forma financial effects have been prepared to illustrate the impact of the Acquisition on
 the reported financial information of MICROmega for the six months ended 30 June 2013, had the
 Acquisition occurred on 1 January 2013 for statement of comprehensive income purposes and on 30 June
 2013 for statement of financial position purposes.

 The unaudited pro forma financial effects have been prepared using accounting policies that comply with
 IFRS and that are consistent with those applied in the unaudited results of MICROmega for the six months
 ended 30 June 2013.

 The unaudited pro forma financial effects, which are the responsibility of the directors, are provided for
 illustrative purposes only and, because of their pro forma nature may not fairly present MICROmega’s
 financial position, changes in equity, results of operations or cash flow.

                                                                  Before the         After the
                                                                 Acquisition       Acquisition     % change

 Notes:
 1.          The amounts in the “Before the Acquisition” column have been extracted from the published unaudited results of
             MICROmega for the six months ended 30 June 2013.
 2.          The amounts in the “After the Acquisition” column reflect the financial effects of the Acquisition on MICROmega,
             and are based on the assumption that:
      a.     the attributable after tax loss of NOSA Global Holdings was incurred with effect from 1 January 2013, which
             information was extracted from the management accounts of NOSA Global Holdings and a Chinese Renminbi
             to South African Rand exchange rate of 1.61939 has been assumed. Reliance has been placed by the directors
             on these management accounts. This will have a continuing effect on the Company;
      b.     there were no material costs incurred relating to the investment in NOSA Global Holdings;
      c.     there was no impairment of the goodwill arising from the acquisition;
      d.     the purchase price of R35 000 000 was settled on 1 January 2013 in cash and through the issue of 2 215 803
             new shares in MICROmega; and
      e.     goodwill to the value of R27 286 000 has been recognised.
 3.          The effects on basic earnings per share and headline earnings per share are calculated based on the
             assumption that the Acquisition was effected on 1 January 2013.
 4.          The effects on net asset value per share and tangible net asset value per share are calculated based on the
             assumption that the Acquisition was effected on 30 June 2013.


 4.        WITHDRAWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT

 Shareholders are advised that as the pro forma financial effects of the Acquisition have now been
 disclosed, caution is no longer required to be exercised by shareholders when dealing in the Company’s
 securities.
