Note 1:
IFRS 5: Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations provides that, in measuring the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, gains, losses and cash flows of a discontinuing operation for the purpose that standard , such items can be attributed to a discontinuing operation if they will be disposed of, settled, reduced, or eliminated when the discontinuance is completed. To the extent that such items continue after completion of the discontinuance, they should not be allocated to the discontinuing operation.

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s reviewed condensed consolidated annual financial statements on 13 December 2013, management of the Group finalised its assessment of the items to be attributed to discontinued and continuing operations. The finalisation of this assessment resulted in the reallocation of management related expenses of R10 920 148 (2012:R6 200 000) from discontinued operations to continuing operations due to these expenses not being expected to continue in the future. The finalisation of the assessment further resulted in the reallocation of other expenses of R5 890 968 (2012:R328 118) from continuing operations to discontinued operations as these expenses, incurred on behalf of discontinued operations, were not expected to continue in the future. Lastly, revenue generated by discontinued operations of R12 370 432 (2012:R13 176 143) was reallocated from discontinued operations to continuing operations as these revenues were expected to continue in the future. Immaterial balances of trade receivables and trade payables were also reallocated between continuing and discontinued operations.

As a result of the reallocations described above, amendments to the following notes were required in the Annual Report:

The changes above relate to the amendment of the classification between other assets, other financial assets, other liabilities and other financial liabilities of the disposal groups held for sale as follows:

-Allocation of other assets of R10 173 000 to other financial assets based on the nature of these items as financial assets.
-Allocation of other financial liabilities of R2 313 000 to other liabilities based on the nature of these items as non-financial liabilities.

-Reallocation of negative cash balances of R932 000 incorrectly netted off against other financial assets.

Note 2:
Restated Other Accrued Expenses include amounts reclassified from Provisions to Trade and Other Payables as well as amounts reclassified from Trade and Other Payables to Deferred Income to enhance the comparability of the annual financial statements. The amounts reclassified from Provisions to Trade and Other Payables relate to product related accruals previously disclosed as Provisions for Product Warranties which should have been disclosed as Trade and Other Payables due to the obligation of the Group in relation to these items already having existed at year-end. The amounts reclassified from Trade and Other Payables to Deferred Income relate to items which are separately disclosed in the Annual Report due to their nature as deferred revenue.

The impact of the above is as follows:

Note 3:
Raising fees in the amount of R599 000, capitalised to the outstanding amount due on loans, were incorrectly disclosed as proceeds from loans. These raising fees have been disclosed as a non-cash flow adjustment to the cash utilised in operations of the Group in the Annual Report.

Note 4:
The modifications to the statement of cash flows of the Group relate to the following in respect of the year ended 31 August 2013:
-Incorrect calculation of working capital movements due to the impact of elimination journals accounted for on the discontinued operations included in the opening balance not having been taken into account previously.

-The elimination journal entries (described in note 1) were not taken into account when the split between continuing and discontinued operations were determined.

-The movement in the provisions changed as a result of a prior period adjustment that was accounted for as described in note 2. This also resulted in a change in working capital.

-Non-cash movements were not correctly determined.

The modifications to the statement of cash flows of the Group relate to the following in respect of the year ended 31 August 2012:
-The split between continuing and discontinued operations was not accurately determined.
