by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides 
as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee, JSE Listings Requirements and in

INTRODUCTION
The group has continued to deliver solid results driven by its diversification strategy. 
The turnaround of Infrasors, acquired during the previous year, is progressing well and 
contributing positive results.

FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenue for the period increased by 10,5% to R1 030,1 million from R931,9 million. 
Headline earnings increased by 23,7%, translating into headline earnings per share of 
61,1 cents (2013: 49,3 cents).

The overdraft less cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounts to a net 
overdraft of R48,4 million (2013: net cash R36,4 million). The group changed its funding 
strategy, in order to increase its return on cash held, by utilising surplus cash to 
settle capital expenditures and accordingly reduced asset based financing. It also 
brought forward plant and equipment capital expenditures in this period, in order to 
reduce maintenance costs, and increased inventory levels to meet anticipated demand 
from customers and to enable lower manufacturing costs.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW
The Mining & Aggregates segment generated satisfactory profits with an excellent 
contribution from the clinker operations. The KwaZulu-Natal operations incurred 
high mining and maintenance costs in efforts to ensure long-term compliance with 
Department of Mineral Resources requirements and to gear the business for growth. 
Contracting operations were impacted by contracts coming to an end and setup costs 
for new contracts. The group's industrial mineral operations performed well, 
with the Infrasors' turnaround progressing as planned.

All processing plants are fully operational and well-placed to supply market demand. 
Afrimat's flexible service delivery model, supplemented by mobile equipment, 
positions the group to take advantage of opportunities as and where they arise.

The Concrete Based Products segment achieved a good increase in profits resulting 
from cost reduction initiatives and good market conditions. During the comparative 
period a strike at the Gauteng operation resulted in lower profits for the period.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
New business development remains a key component of the group's growth strategy. 
The dedicated business development team continues to successfully identify and pursue 
opportunities in existing markets, as well as in anticipated new high growth areas.

B-BBEE
Existing BEE shareholders and the Afrimat BEE Trust in aggregate hold 26,1% of 
Afrimat's issued shares. Notwithstanding the fully empowered ownership platform in 
line with the Mining Charter requirements, the group remains dedicated to enhancing 
all aspects of B-BBEE on an ongoing basis.

DIVIDEND
An interim gross dividend of 13,00 cents per share (2013: 11,00 cents) for the period 
was declared on 5 November 2014. This is in line with the group's dividend policy of 
2,75 times cover. The dividend payable to shareholders who are subject to dividend 
tax is 11,05 cents per share (2013: 9,35 cents per share).

PROSPECTS
The group is well positioned to capitalise on its strategic initiatives such as 
continued growth from the excellent asset base and turnaround at the Infrasors 
operations.

Operational efficiency initiatives aimed at expanding volumes, reducing costs and 
developing the required skill levels of all employees remains a key focus in all 
operations. These programmes, supported by ongoing product diversification in 
attractive growth sectors such as industrial minerals and open cast mining, 
should see volumes continue to increase.

Going forward, the group is intensifying its focus on finding opportunities 
outside of South Africa.

Afrimat expects the current business climate to continue with moderate market 
growth projected. The group's growth will remain driven by the successful execution 
of its proven strategy which has been implemented over the last five years.

Included in the above "Rehabilitation fund trusts and other", is investments 
in environmental insurance policies of R19,7 million (Aug 2013: R15,7 million) 
(Feb 2014: R17,6 million) measured at fair value. The fair value of unquoted unit 
trusts is derived using the adjusted net asset method. The adjusted net asset 
method determines the fair value of the investment in the unit trust by reference 
to the fair value of the individual assets and liabilities recognised in a unit 
trust's statement of financial position. The significant inputs to the adjusted 
net asset method are the fair values of the individual assets and liabilities whose 
fair value is derived from quoted market prices in active markets. The fair values 
are indirectly derived from prices quoted in Level 1, and therefore included in 
Level 2 (within the IFRS 13 Fair value measurement fair value hierarchy).

10. Contingencies
Additional guarantees to the value of R4,9 million by Standard Bank and 
R0,3 million by FirstRand Bank Limited were supplied to Eskom and the Department
of Mineral Resources, respectively during the period under review.

On 25 June 2013, SARS issued an adjusted income tax assessment claiming R9,7 million
additional tax, R7,2 million penalties and R2,4 million interest, relating to the 
activities of a subsidiary of Infrasors for the tax years 2010, 2011 and 2012 based on 
the premise that the company is not a mining entity. The company has submitted an appeal 
to SARS and is of the opinion that the activities are of a mining nature. During an 
Alternative Dispute Resolution hearing ("ADR") held on 6 June 2014, SARS agreed to 
waive the relevant penalties and interest. The company is in the process of obtaining 
a final ruling from SARS regarding the treatment of income tax in the relevant subsidiary.
