NOTES

1  REVIEW BY AUDITORS
   The reviewed condensed consolidated preliminary results of Rex Trueform Clothing 
   Company Limited for the year ended 30 June 2015 have been reviewed by the company's 
   auditors, KPMG Inc. In their review report dated 7 September 2015, which is available 
   for inspection at the company's registered office, KPMG Inc. state that their review 
   was conducted in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, 
   Review of Interim Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, 
   which applies to a review of consolidated preliminary financial information, and have 
   expressed an unmodified conclusion on the reviewed condensed consolidated preliminary 
   financial results. The auditor's report does not necessarily report on all of the 
   information contained in these financial results. Shareholders are therefore advised 
   that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the auditor's engagement 
   they should obtain a copy of the auditor's report together with the accompanying 
   financial results from the issuer's registered office. 

2  BASIS OF PREPARATION
   The reviewed condensed consolidated preliminary  financial results for the year ended 
   30 June 2015 are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited 
   Listings Requirements for preliminary reports and the requirements of the Companies 
   Act of South Africa. The JSE Listings Requirements require preliminary reports to be 
   prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition 
   requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the SAICA 
   Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and 
   Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and 
   to also, as a minimum, contain the information required by IAS 34: Interim Financial 
   Reporting. These reviewed results have been prepared under the supervision of the group 
   financial director, Damian Johnson CA(SA).

3  ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
   The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated 
   financial results are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the 
   previous consolidated financial results, except for the adoption of new standards and 
   interpretations effective as of 1 July 2014. The new standards have no material impact 
   on the reviewed condensed consolidated preliminary financial results and are not expected 
   to materially impact the annual consolidated financial statements.   

   The integrated annual report containing a detailed review of the operations of the 
   company will be posted to shareholders towards the end of September 2015. The annual 
   financial statements will be posted on the company's website www.rextrueform.co.za at 
   the end of September 2015.

4  NOTE TO THE FINANCIAL RESULTS
   4.1  Property, plant and equipment - During the year under review there was a 
        reclassification from property, plant and equipment to investment property. 
        This property was previously owner occupied, but was reclassified on 1 January 2015 
        when Queenspark Proprietary Limited moved to a smaller space within the building, 
        resulting in the previously occupied space being rented out to third parties.

   4.2  Investment property - During the year under review there was a reclassification 
        from property, plant and equipment to investment property. This property was 
        previously owner occupied, but was reclassified on 1 January 2015 when Queenspark 
        Proprietary Limited moved to a smaller space within the building, resulting in the 
        previously occupied space being rented out to third parties.

   4.3  Financial instruments - Financial instruments included in trade and other 
        receivables and trade and other payables are short term in nature, settled 
        within 12 months, and the carrying value substantially approximates the fair value. 


COMMENTARY

GROUP RESULTS 
The group produced a very pleasing result mainly due to the improved performance of the 
retail segment. Many initiatives implemented by the group added benefits which reflect in the 
results. Revenue increased by 7.1% to R536.6 million (2014: R501.2 million). The gross profit 
generated from the retail segment increased by 19.8% to R290.4 million (2014: R242.3 million). 
Other income, which includes rental income and the profit on sale of the Atlantis property, 
increased from R5.6 million to R17.0 million. Trading expenses were contained and increased 
by 4.6%. 

The above resulted in the operating profit increasing by 273% to R29.9 million (2014: loss 
of R17.3 million) which includes an amount of R3.9 million in respect of the profit on sale 
of the Atlantis property. The operating profit excluding the profit on sale of the property 
amounts to R26 million. Profit after tax increased by 337.4% to R23.8 million (2014: loss 
of R10 million) resulting in the earnings per share increasing by 336.9%. 

RETAIL (QUEENSPARK)
Queenspark returned to profitability despite the challenging market and produced an operating 
profit of R26.8 million compared to a R14 million operating loss in the prior period. 
Certain initiatives implemented produced the desired results: these included cost containment,
the closure of three unprofitable stores, opening of new stores and improved processes 
employed to improve the gross margin, which increased to 56.3% (2014: 49%). 

PROPERTY
The operating profit of this segment amounted to R7.8 million (2014: R0.0 million) which 
includes the R3.9 million profit on the sale of the non-strategic property located in 
Atlantis. The operating profit excluding the profit on sale of the Atlantis property amounts 
to R3.9 million. 

The group's three remaining investment properties are located in Salt River (Cape Town), 
one of which has been recently developed, namely the Rex Trueform Office Park ("RTOP"). 

PROSPECTS
RETAIL (QUEENSPARK)
The current summer season's stock sold during the first nine weeks of the 2016 financial 
year has been well received by customers and the group plans to roll out further stores 
in order to capture additional market share. The enterprise resource planning system is 
planned to be implemented during the 2016 financial year. The benefits to be gained 
therefrom will mostly be realised in the 2017 financial year and thereafter. Other 
initiatives being considered mainly focus on turnover growth and are predominantly 
aimed at improving the performance over the medium to long term. 

PROPERTY 
The business has commenced with development feasibilities in respect of the two undeveloped 
investment properties and intends to complete the feasibilities during the 2016 financial 
year. The one property is classified as an important Heritage site, which limits the 
development opportunities, and will cause a delay in the development process. 

In relation to the RTOP, lease agreements in respect of approximately 90% of the office space 
have been entered into. However, due to the required reorganisation of space within the 
building a smaller part of the rental was only due from the beginning of July 2015. The balance 
of the office space not yet let, amounting to approximately 900 square metres, is likely to be 
let during the 2016 financial year.

DIVIDEND
The directors have proposed a distribution of 61 cents per share in respect of the ordinary and 
"N" ordinary shares. Shareholders will be asked to approve this proposal of the board at the 
annual general meeting of the company.
