2.   Basis of presentation
     The Group is domiciled in South Africa. The audited summarised consolidated financial results at and for the year ended
     27 December 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 de-registered 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 IFRS 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 summarised financial results have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited
     Listings Requirements for provisional reports, and the requirements of the Companies Act applicable to provisional financial
     statements. The Listings Requirements require provisional 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, the information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
     The auditors, Deloitte & Touche, have issued their modified opinion on the Groups' financial statements for the year ended
     27 December 2015. The auditor's report contains an emphasis of matter paragraph regarding the basis of preparation used
     to prepare the consolidated and separate financial statement in the current year: "Without qualifying our opinion, we draw
     attention to the basis of preparation note, Note 1.2, in the financial statements regarding the basis of preparation used to
     prepare the consolidated and separate financial statements in the current year". The audit was conducted in accordance
     with International Standards on Auditing. This provisional report has been derived from the group financial statements and
     consistent in all material respects, with the Group financial statements. A copy of their audit reports are available for inspection
     at the company's' registered office. The auditors have issued a modified opinion for the annual financial statements as well
     as a modified audit opinion for this extract from the annual financial statements. Any reference to future financial performance
     included in this announcement, has not been reviewed or reported on by the company's auditors. The auditor's report does
     not report on the commentary hereon. 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
     information from the company's registered office.

COMMENTARY – UNAUDITED
The Group's results for the year ended 27 December 2015 reflect the actions taken toward the discontinuation of the Group's business, including
the sale of inventory, profits and losses on the disposal of assets, and the expenses incurred or accrued relating to the discontinuation.
Revenue totalled R15.2 million (2014: R283.9 million) and included the sale of all remaining inventory, resulting in a gross profit of R3.0 million (2014:
119.7 million). Distribution expenses totalled R1.5 million (2014: R25.7 million), and administrative expenses totalled R8.4 million (2014: R70.7 million).
The Group's expenses relating to the discontinuation of the business totalled R42.2 million (2014: R175.3 million), including salaries and wages,
general works, energy costs and retention incentives.
The Company paid Manganese Metal Company R37.5 million in full settlement of its contractual obligations related to the Pappas Quarry waste
disposal facility. R22.3 million had been provided for those obligations during 2014.
The Group realised a profit of R9.9 million on the sale of assets having a book value of R93.2 million.
Losses for the year totalled R41.8 million (2014: R152.9), and losses per share totalled 85.2 cents (2014: 311 cents). Headline losses per share for
the year were 105.3 cents (2014: 296.6 cents).
Net cash utilised by operations during the year totalled R14.6 million (2014: cash generated R77.5 million). Working capital decreased by
R93.6 million (2014: R135.5 million), and proceeds from sales of assets totalled R103.2 million (2014: R31.0 million). The Group also paid a
R2.50 per share dividend resulting in a R122.9 million cash outflow.
The Group's year-end cash balances decreased by R41.8 million and totalled R185.6 million at year-end (2014: R227.4 million).
The assets classified at year-end as non-current assets held for sale include the Nelspruit land parcels owned by the Company and those
parcels historically leased and during the year purchased by the company from Manganese Metal Company, and have a total net book value of
R 25.9 million.
At year-end, short-term provisions totalled R56.8 million (December 2014: R97.1 million) and include provisions for retrenchment costs (R7.0 million),
retention incentives (R12.4 million), and the demolition and rehabilitation of the Nelspruit plant site (R37.2 million). During December 2015, the
Company received a definitive remediation order for the Nelspruit plant site from the Department of Environmental affairs.

PROSPECT
The salvage and removal of the remaining assets at the Nelspruit plant site are expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2016, and the
demolition of remaining structures and rehabilitation of the plant site will follow and are expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2016.
On 14 October 2015 shareholders were advised that the Group had entered into an agreement for the sale of the Nelspruit plant site. The Group
was advised on 12 February 2016 that the purchaser had terminated the agreement. The Group will recommence marketing the site and will
continue with the demolition and rehabilitation now underway.
Following the sale of the Nelspruit plant site the Group expects to delist and deregister the Company and to pay a final dividend.
