2. Basis of presentation
The Group is domiciled in South Africa. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial results at and for the period ended 27 June 2015
comprise the company and its subsidiaries (the "Group").
The Group's principal accounting policies have been applied consistently over the current and prior financial years.
On 5 March 2014 the company announced that the board of directors had taken the decision, subject to approval by the company's
shareholders, to discontinue the operations in a phased and orderly manner during 2014 and to realise value for the company's assets
during 2014 and 2015. The decision was approved at the Annual General Meeting of the company held on 9 May 2014. The company will
be wound down and deregistered in due course. The above information highlights that the going concern principle is not applicable in the
preparation of the company's financial statements. When the company ceases trading the directors are of the opinion that the company will
be in a position to discharge all of its liabilities, due to the company's cash resources and to recover the assets at their carrying amounts.
The effect, if any, of preparing the financial statements, other than on the going concern basis will be negligible. Consequently the financial
statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards which among other things, requires
writing assets down to their recoverable amounts. It also requires recognising a liability for contractual commitments that may have become
onerous as a consequence of the decision to cease trading.
The Group's condensed consolidated financial results have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited Listings
Requirements for interim reports, and the requirements of the Companies Act applicable to condensed financial statements. The Listings
Requirements require interim reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition
requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting
Practices Committee, Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council as well as, requirements by
IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

COMMENTARY – Unaudited
The Group's results for the period ended 27 June 2015 (the "period") reflect the actions taken with respect to the discontinuation of
the business, which include the sale of final product inventory and the expenses incurred or accrued relating to the discontinuation.
The results also include the sale of certain assets which were finalised during the period.
Revenue totalled R15,2 million for the period (2014: R120,3 million) and included the sale of all remaining product inventory.
The amount which will eventually be incurred in connection with the decontamination, demolition and remediation of the Nelspruit plant
remains dependent upon approval of the decommissioning plan as submitted to the Department of Environmental Affairs. Regulatory
review of the plan proposed for the decontamination and remediation of the Nelspruit plant site is proceeding as planned and approval
of the plan is expected to be granted during 2015.
Net expenses relating to the discontinuation of the business totalled R8,6 million for the period (2014: R89,5 million), including
retrenchments, retention incentives, a lease termination, and sundry revenue from the sale of waste materials.
Agreements for the sale and salvage of the majority of the Nelspruit plant and equipment, with a book value of R35,2 million, were
concluded during the period. All suspensive conditions for these agreements were fulfilled by 27 June 2015.
Assets classified as non-current assets held for sale (net book value: R11,8 million) include the Nelspruit plant site land and the research
and development plant and laboratory. The sale of the research and development plant and laboratory (net book value R5,0 million)
was concluded in August at net book value.
The R92,1 million short-term provisions (December 2014: R97,1 million) relate to provisions for remaining retrenchment costs
(R9,1 million), incentives (R22,7 million), an estimated settlement related to the former use of a landfill site (R22,3 million), an
estimate for the decontamination, demolition and remediation of the Nelspruit plant site (R31,7 million), and settlement of lease
termination (R6,3 million).
The Group's period-end cash balance increased by R13,8 million to R241,2 million (December 2014: R227,4 million).
Net cash utilised by operations for the period totalled R20,1 million (2014: R98,5 million). Working capital decreased during the period by
R62,2 million (2014: R120,3 million), and proceeds from sales of assets totalled R88,2 million (2014: Nil), and included Nelspruit plant
and equipment.
Net investment income received totalled R6,4 million (2014: R3,0 million).
Loss for the period totalled R8,9 million (2014: R99,1 million), and the loss per share was 18,0 cents (2014: 201,6 cents). Headline loss
per share for the period was 19,4 cents (2014: 201,6 cents).
PROSPECT
The salvaging of plant and equipment from the Nelspruit site continues and will be followed by demolition of remaining structures.
Resolution of the Company's remaining environmental responsibilities awaits regulatory reviews and approvals and completion of
required remediation. The Company has resolved most outstanding commercial and contractual obligations, and continues to market
the Nelspruit plant site. The Board intends to declare appropriate dividends to shareholders when the resolution of the matters is
reasonably certain.
