COMMENTS

Nature of business: Awethu manufactures and distributes goods and services to the informal markets and the mining and catering industries.
BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies, as outlined in the 2013 annual report, have been consistently applied. The abridged interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (ASB) (IAS 34), the requirements of the South African Companies Act 71 of 2008 and the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited. There is no significant impact on these results due to any IFRS changes during the period.
REVIEW
These interim financial statements have not been reviewed or audited by the company’s auditors. The interim financial results have been prepared on the going concern basis, and were approved by the board on 28 March 2014. There has been no material changes in judgements or estimates relating to amounts reported in prior reporting periods. The significant accounting policies and methods of computation are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the year ended 30 June 2013.
SYNOPSIS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE PERIOD AND POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS
As has been mentioned in the cautionary announcement originally released on SENS on 28 March 2013 and the subsequent renewals and in the previous released results, the company has been focused on negotiating to acquire potential businesses within the core activity of its industry. There is no definite news to report on and we shall keep shareholders updated should any deals be confirmed. In the interim Awethu continues to receive rental and other income from the Milling division, although the plan is to put the mill on the market. The interim financial statements of the company have been supervised by the Financial Director, Ms I Vermaak. There are no post balance sheet events.
