Unaudited Interim Results for the Six Months ended 30 June 2014


Highlights

Headline earnings increased by 96%

Total assets exceed R7 billion

INAV increased to R18.59 per share



Commentary

Profit for the period under review improved significantly to R309 million 

from R165 million in the comparative period mainly as a result of positive 

fair value adjustments in underlying investments. Gross assets increased to 

R7.2 billion, up from R6.8 billion at 31 December 2013. Intrinsic Net Asset 

Value also increased steadily from the previous period. The smaller increase 

in Net Asset Value was primarily due to distributions made by an associate 

and a subsidiary totalling R97.2 million in which the Company did not 

participate. Headline earnings per share increased by 96% from 61.7 cents 

per share to 120.9 cents per share.



Activity during the period under review was driven by further acquisitions 

and efficient restructuring of financial arrangements which contributed 

positively to these financial results. The Company also concluded a specific 

repurchase of its shares from a wholly-owned subsidiary.



Brimstone Portfolio



SUBSIDIARIES



Sea Harvest

Catches in the first six months of 2014 were well ahead of prior year, 

driven by better vessel utilisation and increased catch rates. Both the wet 

fish and freezer fleets performed well. The higher volumes positively 

impacted the land-based operations.



Sales were strong both locally and internationally with firm demand for hake. 

This resulted in good price increases being achieved in both the local and 

export markets in real terms. The favourable exchange rate further supported 

pricing. Revenue was 14% higher than the prior comparative period. Sea 

Harvest maintained its position as a market leader in the South African 

frozen fish retail segment.



Operating profit before interest and exceptional items increased by 30% to 

R66.15 million. 



Lion of Africa

Gross written premiums increased by 5.8% to R378.5 million for the reporting 

period. The challenging underwriting conditions continued during the 

period under review, resulting in Lion of Africa reporting an after tax loss 

of R31.8m for the period. Brimstone further capitalised Lion of Africa with 

an investment of R25 million during the period. 



House of Monatic

Turnover decreased by 7% to R82.7 million mainly as a result of retail 

clothing chain stores delaying the take up of orders. Net profit decreased 

to R0.8 million for the period while employment levels remained static at 

around 800 staff. House of Monatic (HOM) continues to increase its share of 

the corporate wear market as well as exports into sub-Saharan Africa. HOM 

expanded its retail presence by the roll out of three C2 branded concept 

stores with more stores envisaged.



ASSOCIATES



Oceana

Oceana's share price closed at R87.00 per share, up from R82.00 per share at 

31 December 2013. Brimstone received dividends of R21.3 million from Oceana 

during the period under review and recorded R29.4 million in equity 

accounted earnings based on its reported six month earnings to 31 March 2014.



Aon Re Africa

Aon Re Africa is the leading reinsurance broker licensed and operating in 

South Africa and the rest of Africa. Aon Re continued to successfully secure 

new business across all divisions which resulted in solid organic growth, 

especially outside of South Africa. Brimstone received a dividend of 

R7.5 million from Aon Re Africa and recorded R0.9 million in equity 

accounted earnings during the review period.



The Scientific Group

The Scientific Group provides instrumentation and consumables to pathology 

laboratories as well as medical devices to both public and private 

hospitals and maintained strong results for the six month period to 

30 June 2014. Turnover and profitability increased through a strong 

performance in the pathology and bioscience divisions and as a result 

of distribution rights secured for a cardiology product portfolio for 

the medical division in the prior financial year. Management remains 

mindful of margin pressure, given current market conditions and a 

deterioration of the Rand against major currencies during the reporting 

period. Brimstone recorded R0.63 million in equity accounted earnings 

from The Scientific Group.



Afena Capital

Afena Capital is an investment management firm that offers specialist 

equity and balanced portfolios serving the South African institutional 

market. Brimstone received a dividend of R2.6 million and recorded 

R2.0 million in equity accounted losses from Afena Capital during the 

period under review.

share at 31 December 2013. The investment was revalued upwards by

and Solethu Investments Proprietary Limited as indirect and direct ordinary 

shareholders, subscribed for 64 million Grindrod ordinary shares at a price 

of R25.00 per share for an aggregate R1.6 billion equity investment,

the Consortium SPV.
