COMMENTS

INTRODUCTION

ELB Group's strategic focus is on being an internationally recognised holistic
engineering solutions provider to the mining, minerals, power, port,
construction and industrial sectors in the field of materials handling, mineral
separation, industrial projects and power solutions. This is achieved through
ELB generated innovation, in-house capability and the supply, with world class
partners, of equipment and technology. The Group operates predominantly in
Africa and Australasia.

Over the past year the Group has embarked on a number of strategies for which
returns are typically only realised after two to three years. These strategies
are all in line with the core expertise of the Group and will enhance its
ability to service its markets via horizontal or vertical diversification.

ELB Equipment has signed a 50/50 joint venture agreement for the distribution of 
Belaz mining trucks. Belaz is one of the leaders in the world of large ore
haulage trucks. This enables the Group to offer its customers vehicles of a 
size up to 400 tonnes.

In order to de-risk the execution model of ELB Engineering Services, it was
decided a few years ago to establish ELB Construction, enabling all the ELB
projects to be erected by an in-house company. This has been a notable success
from a safety, speed of reaction, commercial and quality point of view. ELB
Construction has the ability to erect projects from as small as R5 million to
as large as R3 billion.

In line with this de-risking model, the Group also acquired B&W Instrumentation
and Electrical Limited ('B&W'), in May 2014. The company has made a very
satisfactory turnaround from a cash management and profitability point of view
and is adding material value to the bottom line of ELB.

ELB has agreed a cooperation agreement with KC Cottrell, a world leader in
environmental technology for the last forty years. This agreement will enable
ELB to offer a full range of air cleaning solutions, including baghouses,
electrostatic precipitators and desulphurisation systems for large power
station projects, allowing the Group to provide the necessary environmental
solutions for both refurbishment and new capital projects.

ELB has further diversified into providing total biomass, gas and energy from
waste power plants up to 50 MW. In line with its diversification strategy ELB
has developed expertise in the industrial sector, specifically in the FMCG
field.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Consistent with prior periods there is no correlation between sales and profit
due to the nature of the project related business.

The 8% increase in sales for the year from R2 349 million in 2014 to R2 544
million in 2015 is a satisfactory result given the current difficult trading
conditions.

Profit for the year decreased by 14% from R131 million in 2014 to R113 million
in 2015. The Equipment Africa segment improved significantly from the prior
year with an increase in profit for the year of 64% from R33 million in 2014 to
R54 million in 2015. The Australasia segment had a 99% decrease in profit for
the year from a profit in 2014 of R21 million to a marginal profit in 2015.
Part of this deterioration in profit is attributable to negative unrealised
foreign exchange adjustments of R7 million in the year, as a result of the
United States dollar strengthening against the Australian dollar and the euro,
compared to favourable unrealised foreign exchange adjustments of R5 million in
the prior year. The Engineering Services Africa segment profit declined from
the prior year with a decrease in profit for the year of 20% from R92 million
in 2014 to R74 million in 2015. ELB Group's share of total comprehensive income
decreased by 22% from R108 million in 2014 to R84 million in 2015, which
includes a net R8 million loss in other comprehensive income, largely
attributable to the negative adjustments to the foreign currency translation
reserve.

The net asset value per share attributable to ordinary shareholders increased
from 2 728 cents in 2014 to 2 917 cents in 2015, an increase of 7%.

Headline earnings per share for the year decreased by 16% from 382 cents per
share in 2014 to 321 cents per share in 2015.

OPERATIONS

Equipment Africa
This operation had an increase in turnover from R660 million in 2014 to R765
million in 2015 while profit before income tax increased from R46 million in
2014 to R75 million in 2015. This was against the background of a weaker Rand
coupled with tougher trading conditions. The operation is well positioned to
benefit from more favourable trading conditions when they materialise.

Engineering Services Africa
Engineering Services Africa has been predominantly focussed on the iron ore,
coal, industrial and power sectors over the past period. The company is at
present completing the construction of one of the world's longest conveyors,
handling coal for Sasol.

The project work on hand remains at a satisfactory level with on-going projects
in South Africa, Mozambique, Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, Angola, Congo, DRC,
Liberia, Indonesia, Gabon, Peru and Israel.

Sales increased by 7% from R1 344 million in 2014 to R1 444 million in 2015 but
profit before income tax decreased by 15% from R123 million in 2014 to R105
million in 2015. This decrease in profit before income tax is attributable to
project timing with a number of projects only being in the early stages of
completion. B&W contributed positively to the segment profitability this year.

Engineering Services Africa has been successful in securing a number of new
projects and business opportunities which have positioned this operation well
for the coming 24 to 36 months.

Australasia
The Ditch Witch business has faced difficult trading conditions in the
Australasian markets in which it operates and as a consequence has seen a
deterioration in its profit for the year. The business continues to service the
growing demand for its Ditch Witch and Komptech range of products and the New
Zealand business unit has proven to be a valuable contributor to the Ditch
Witch operation.

Turnover increased by 1% from R346 million in 2014 to R350 million in 2015
while profit before income tax decreased from R26 million in 2014 to a
breakeven in 2015.

Ditch Witch remains well positioned in both Australia and New Zealand to take
advantage of any increase in infrastructure spend in the region and improved
trading conditions.

CASH FLOW

Net cash and cash equivalents declined from R423 million to R366 million during
the year as cash was used in increasing working capital, in continued capital
expenditure and in fluctuations in up-front customer payments. The cash and
cash equivalent balances remained healthy at the year-end after absorbing the
utilisation. Cash flow management remains a high priority for the Group.

ELB works closely with its bankers, suppliers and customers to ensure the Group
continues to retain a strong balance sheet at all times.

PROSPECTS

The global cooling of commodity prices and demand has had a negative effect on
the pipeline for greenfield projects. This has led ELB to focus on efficiency
driven projects and the diversification into the power and industrial sectors.
ELB continues to be well positioned to take advantage of a number of these
potential opportunities currently being considered in Africa and elsewhere.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

ELB's empowerment partner is the ELB Educational Trust, which was established
to promote the education of historically disadvantaged South Africans in
engineering disciplines. To this end scholarships continue to be awarded to
students at various South African universities.

ELB is also promoting education through the St Vincent School for the Deaf.
This institution has received substantial donations from ELB. The support of
the ELB Educational Trust and St Vincent School will further assist the
historically disadvantaged in our community.

Apart from donations ELB has also made significant contributions towards small
business development of the historically disadvantaged in South Africa.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Mr JC van Zyl has been appointed as an independent non-executive director to
the ELB board and has replaced Mr T de Bruyn as lead independent non-executive
director with effect from 19 March 2015.

DIVIDENDS

It has been decided to declare a final dividend of 67 cents (2014 – 67 cents)
per ordinary share.

The total dividend for the year is therefore 97 cents per share versus 95 cents
per share for the 2014 financial year, representing an increase of 2%.

NOTES

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Group entities entered into various sale and purchase transactions with related
parties in the Group in the ordinary course of business on an arm's length
basis, the nature of which was consistent with those previously reported. All
transactions and balances with these related parties have been eliminated
appropriately in the consolidated results.

FAIR VALUES

The ELB Group measures forward exchange contracts at fair value using inputs as
described in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values for forward
exchange contracts are based on quotes from brokers. Similar contracts are
traded in an active market and the quotes reflect the actual transactions on
similar instruments. All other financial assets or liabilities carrying values
approximate their fair values based on the nature or maturity period of the
financial instrument. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 of the
fair value hierarchy during the year ended 30 June 2015.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE INCURRED AND FUTURE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE COMMITMENTS

Capital expenditure of R28 million (2014: R29 million) was incurred during the
year primarily on property, plant and equipment. At 30 June 2015 there were no
material capital expenditure commitments. At 30 June 2014 there were capital
expenditure commitments of R5 million for the acquisition of an additional
property.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Engineering Services Africa operates in the engineering contracting business
and is exposed to the risks associated with engineering contracts. These risks
are managed on the basis of limited liability and appropriate insurances. All
known liabilities of the Group at the balance sheet date have been accrued.

POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

Post the year end, Elbquip Holdings Pty Limited, a subsidiary in the Group,
