REVIEW OPINION
These condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended
30 September 2015 have been reviewed by the group's auditors, Mazars, who
expressed an unmodified review opinion. A copy of the auditors review
opinion is available for inspection at the company's registered office
together with the financial statements identified in the auditor's review
report.

GROUP PROFILE
Winhold Limited (“Winhold”) is a holding company with its main
investments being in its 74,9% owned subsidiaries Gundle Plastics Group
(Pty) Ltd and Inmins Trading (Pty) Ltd.

Gundle comprises three divisions, the Industrial and Consumer Flexible
Packaging Division with its factories in Germiston and Swaziland, the
Flexible Building, Construction and Agricultural Division in Springs
(including the Geosynthetics Dam Lining Division) and the Trading
Division with branches in the main coastal cities, Bloemfontein and
Mbombela. Gundle manufactures polyethylene bags, construction sheeting,
consumer and industrial packaging, agricultural film and dam linings and
distributes to the agricultural, chemical, construction, food processing,
industrial and consumer markets, as well as installing dam linings in
sub-Sahara Africa.

Inmins Trading comprises 19 strategically located operations servicing
the mining and industrial sectors with a wide range of consumable and
maintenance products, and includes divisions specialising in hose, chain
and sprocket systems and conveyor belting.

HEADLINE NUMBERS
Operating profit increased by 86% on a revenue increase of 11%. Headline
earnings per share improved by 94,6% to 21,6 cents per share.
The improvement is mainly due to the excellent performance of the
Flexible Building and Trading segments of Gundle.

Both the mining and industrial sectors serviced by Inmins are under
pressure, resulting in reduced revenue and margins.

MARKET CONDITIONS
The strikes of 2014 were fortunately not repeated, however the mining
sector remained depressed due to lower global demand for minerals.  The
manufacturing sector, the Group's customer base, experienced lower demand
leading to increased price competition in an overtraded market.

International sentiment towards South Africa was negative and the Rand
continued to weaken thereby inflating the cost of imported product.
Polymer prices were less volatile than in 2014.

The plastic sheet market continues to be very competitive and is
dominated by over-capacity and competitors chasing volume with margin.
Electricity and other administrative prices continued to increase, making
it difficult to recover cost increases in the market.  Load shedding
during the first three quarters of the financial period caused production
losses and increased scrap.

PERFORMANCE
Inmins Trading
Revenue decreased by 2%.  The partial recovery of the mining division
sales (+5,5%) was offset by the depressed demand in the industrial sector
(-8%).  The weaker currency put pressure on the margin of imported
products.  The mining supplies divisions returned to profitability,
albeit at levels below 2013.

Gundle Plastics Group
Gundle revenue increased by 15,3% on a 7,2% production volume increase.
The sporadic shortage of virgin polymers caused some production losses
and increased imported material costs.  Recycled polymers were more
readily available which led to a much improved performance in the
construction and agricultural division.  Gundle GeoSynthetics, our geo-
membrane supplier and installer, more than doubled its turnover due to
completing a number of large products both in South Africa and Sub-Sahara
Africa, resulting in record profits for the operation.

The Swaziland business has returned to profitability after making losses
for the past three years. The turnaround actions in Germiston have not
yet borne fruit and the business continued its loss making trend.
Turnaround consultants have been appointed to assist the new management
in implementing the changes required.

Revenue of the Gundle distribution branches grew by 9,5% with pre-tax
profit up 63%.  Operating expense increases were contained in all the
operations.

Repi colourants
Despite the increased opposition reported on last year and the weaker
Rand, this operation improved its revenue and profit before tax after
achieving success in neighbouring countries.

PROSPECTS
Gundle
The turnaround strategy in Germiston is in its second year and a
financial improvement is expected in 2016.    Although the dam lining
division tendered on various projects both locally and in Sub-Sahara
Africa, the drop in demand for resources has caused a number of the
projects to be postponed.  However, new projects, tenders and
developments could lead to improvements. The introduction of innovative
products for the construction and agricultural markets should help to
maintain volumes.

Inmins
The manufacturing industry showed some growth in the third quarter of
2015. Should this continue, the industrial trading division should show
improved revenue.  The mining sector is expected to remain under
pressure, however the introduction of new products through the network
should lead to revenues being maintained.

APPRECIATION
The support from customers, suppliers, financial institutions and
shareholders in a very difficult year is highly appreciated.  The
commitment of the management team and staff was once again noted.  The
support of the chairman, board, management and staff, customers and
suppliers, cannot be overstated.
