NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial
     Reporting Standards (IFRS), IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the SAICA Financial Reporting
     Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by
     the Financial Reporting Standards Council and the requirements of the Companies Act of South
     Africa.

     The directors are responsible for the preparation of the interim financial statements, prepared under
     supervision of the financial director, Mr L C Verwey CA(SA), CFA, an employee of the Company's
     appointed manager, Remgro Management Services Limited. The interim financial statements have
     not been audited or reviewed by the Company's auditors.

     The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements are in terms of
     IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the previous consolidated annual financial statements,
     with the exception of the following new accounting standards, interpretations and amendments to
     IFRS standards that have come into effect and have been adopted by the Group in the current year:

     - Amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments - Presentation (effective 1 January 2014)
     - Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits (effective 1 July 2014)
     - Amendments to IAS 36 Impairment of Assets - Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial
       assets (effective 1 January 2014)
     - Amendments to IAS 39 Financial Instruments - Novation of derivatives and continuation of
       hedge accounting (effective 1 January 2014)
     - Annual Improvements 2010-12 cycle (effective 1 July 2014)
     - Annual Improvements 2011-13 cycle (effective 1 July 2014)
     - IFRIC 21 Levies (effective 1 January 2014)

     The adoption of these standards, interpretations and amendments had no material impact on the
     consolidated results of either the current or prior periods.

2.   GROUP STRUCTURE

     The sole investment of Capevin Holdings is an effective interest of 26.84% (31 December 2013:
     28.87% and 30 June 2014: 26.86%) in the issued share capital of Distell Group Limited (Distell), held
     via its 50% interest in Remgro-Capevin Investments Proprietary Limited. The dilution in Capevin
     Holdings' interest in Distell since 31 December 2013 occurred mainly due to the restructuring of
     Distell's Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) transaction on 17 January 2014 when Distell issued
     15.0 million ordinary shares (net of treasury shares).

3.   SEGMENT REPORT

     Capevin Holdings is an investment holding company, with its sole investment being an effective
     interest in Distell. The directors have not identified any other segment to report on.

COMMENTARY

FINANCIAL RESULTS

For the six months ended 31 December 2014 Distell's revenue increased by 10.5% to R11.0 billion on a sales
volume increase of 3.7%. The financial results for the period were positively influenced by a weaker rand.
Steep increases in excise duties and investments that were made to support corporate strategy were partially
offset by lower increases in raw material input costs. Reported headline earnings for the six months ended
31 December 2014 decreased by 7.6% to R987.4 million, while headline earnings per share decreased by
13.4% to 455.7 cents. On a normalised basis, Distell's headline earnings increased by 9.5% to R996.3 million.

Capevin Holdings' headline earnings for the six months ended 31 December 2014 consequently decreased by
14.1% to R264.5 million (2013: R307.8 million). On a normalised basis, headline earnings increased by 1.9%
to R266.9 million (2013: R261.8 million). Note that, as mentioned above, Capevin Holdings' interest in
Distell diluted since 31 December 2013.

Capevin Holdings' intrinsic value decreased by 2.8% to R9.08 per share - based on Distell's last traded share
price of R135.95 at 31 December 2014 (excluding capital gains tax). The discount to intrinsic value has
narrowed from 12.3% at 30 June 2014 to 2.3% at 31 December 2014. On 27 February 2015, Distell's share
price increased to R178.65, while Capevin Holdings' increased to R9.91 and the discount to its intrinsic value
per share increased to 16.8%.

PROSPECTS

Distell's board stated that the global environment continues to be challenging due to diverging growth and
monetary policy expectations in developed economies alongside a more notable moderation in emerging
market growth. They therefore expect tough trading conditions to persist. Nevertheless Distell continues to
pursue and invest in its long term strategy to deliver shareholder value. This is backed by a robust and diverse
portfolio of appealing brands, as well as a strengthened and extended route to market network that continues
to evolve across a range of economies and regions.

DECLARATION OF CASH DIVIDEND

In terms of the dividend policy of Capevin Holdings, dividends received from its indirect interest in Distell,
after providing for administrative expenses, will be distributed to shareholders. The directors have
consequently resolved to approve and declare an interim gross cash dividend (dividend number 21) of
12.40 cents (2013: 10.25 cents) per share for the six months ended 31 December 2014. The reason for the
higher dividend increase compared to that of Distell is due to a portion of cash reserves included in the
dividend. The dividend has been declared from income reserves.

There are no secondary tax on companies (STC) credits available for utilisation. The dividend is subject to a
local dividend tax rate of 15% or 1.86 cents per share, resulting in a net dividend of 10.54 cents per share,
unless the shareholder is exempt from paying dividend tax or is entitled to a reduced rate in terms of the
applicable double-tax agreement.

The number of issued ordinary shares as at 4 March 2015 is 880 103 265. The Company's income tax number
is 9599/656/71/8.

In terms of the Company's Memorandum of Incorporation, dividends will only be transferred electronically to
the bank accounts of shareholders. In the instance where shareholders do not provide the Transfer Secretaries
with their banking details, the dividend will not be forfeited but will be marked as "unclaimed" in the share
register until the shareholder provides the Transfer Secretaries with the relevant banking details for payout.

Following changes to the Listings Requirements of the JSE, hard copies of the interim report will no longer
be mailed to shareholders. The report will, however, be available on the Company's website at
www.capevin.com. A copy of the integrated annual report will in future still be mailed to those shareholders
who requested to receive a hard copy.

Signed on behalf of the Board of Directors.
