Restatement of previously reported financial results

LABAT AFRICA LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
Registration number 1986/001616/06
(“Labat “the Company” or “the Group”)

RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY REPORTED FINANCIAL RESULTS (“RESTATEMENT”)


INTRODUCTION

Shareholders are advised that the Company’s annual financial statements for the
year ended 28 February 2014 together with the comparative figures (collectively,
“2014 AFS”) as published, 6 June 2014 on SENS were misstated.

The misstatement of the 2014 AFS was identified following the JSE Limited’s (“JSE”)
pro-active monitoring process (“Pro-active Monitoring”) whereby the 2014 AFS were
selected for review by the JSE.

RESTATEMENT

1. Background

During the financial period ended 28 February 2014, Labat entered into an
agreement to dispose of its land and buildings. The land and buildings were
therefore accounted for as a disposal group in accordance with IFRS 5: Non-current
Assets Held for Sale (IFRS 5).

The misstatement occurred as a result of incorrectly applying the requirements of
IFRS 5 in accounting for the movement of the revaluation reserve in the statement of
other comprehensive income as part of the profit from discontinued operations, as
well as errors made in the calculation of the deferred tax implications on the fair
value adjustment.

Furthermore, it was identified that the deferred tax on the revaluation of the land
portion, was not accounted for at a capital gains tax rate as required by IAS 12:
Income Taxes which resulted in the comparative figures being misstated.

2. Basis of preparation of the Restatement

The restated financial information regarding the 2014 AFS has been prepared by
David O’Neill in his capacity as Financial Director, in accordance with IFRS and the
SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee.
The accounting policies applied in arriving at the restated financial results are
consistent, in all material respects, with those applied in the 2014 AFS.
