Commentary
Basis of preparation
The reviewed condensed consolidated provisional financial results ("financial statements") for the year
ended 29 February 2016 ("year") contain, as a minimum, the information required by IAS 34: Interim
Financial Reporting and have been prepared in accordance with the frameworks concepts and measurement 
and recognition requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), the SAICA 
Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee, JSE Listings Requirements 
and in the manner required by the South African Companies Act No. 71 of 2008, as amended. The accounting 
policies and method of computation applied in preparation of the financial statements are in accordance 
with IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the audited annual financial statements for the year 
ended 28 February 2015.

The financial statements have been prepared under the supervision of the Financial Director, 
PGS de Wit CA(SA).

Introduction
The group continues to deliver good results driven by its diversification strategy as well as its cost
reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives.

In line with the diversification strategy, Afrimat entered into an agreement on 9 October 2015 to acquire
lime and associated products producer, Cape Lime Proprietary Limited ("Cape Lime"). The conditions
precedent to this agreement were met on 31 March 2016.

Financial results
Headline earnings increased by 15,2%, translating into headline earnings per share of 156,6 cents 
(2015: 135,6 cents). This solid improvement in earnings resulted from a strong performance of the mineral
producing operations across all regions. The group was successful in increasing its operating margin to
16,3% from 14,0% and improving its cash generated from operations to R320,3 million from 
R261,6 million through its efficiency improvement drive.

Improved efficiencies, cost reduction and the disposal of marginal businesses in the prior year,
contributed further to this improvement in earnings. A shift towards more valuable products in the
product mix enhanced earnings, but was affected by overall lower sales volumes. Operating expenses
include the cost of additional resources required to increase the group's compliance capability and costs
associated to establish the operations in Mozambique.

Operational review
All processing plants are fully operational and strategically positioned to deliver excellent service to 
the group's customers. In respect of aggregates, Afrimat offers flexible services, which are supplemented 
by mobile mining and crushing equipment.

Labour relations continued to be satisfactory during the year under review. The group is committed to
creating and sustaining harmonious relationships in the workplace and addressing issues pro-actively.
The Mining & Aggregates/Minerals segment benefited from a good improvement from the traditional
aggregates business. However, after the closure of Highveld Steel and other market dynamics, the
Gauteng market showed a marginal slowdown.

In line with Afrimat's strategy to diversify, new greenfield projects were initiated in the Northern 
Cape, Mpumalanga and Mozambique. These projects were impacted by the decline in commodity prices, which
resulted in the postponement of major projects.

The Concrete Based Products segment was impacted by lower revenue reflecting a tough environment.
Management has been focusing on initiatives to reduce costs and to increase market share, resulting in
positive results during the second half of the year.

Business development
New business development remains a key component of the group's growth strategy. The dedicated
business development team continues to successfully identify and pursue opportunities in existing
markets, as well as in anticipated new high growth areas in southern Africa.

Acquisition
Subsequent to the reporting date, the acquisition of Cape Lime became unconditional following the
regulatory approval for the acquisition. The effective date of the acquisition is 31 March 2016.

B-BBEE
Existing BEE shareholders and the Afrimat BEE Trust in aggregate hold 26,1% of Afrimat's issued shares.
Transformation remains a key focus area for the group and excellent progress has been made in meeting
the Mining Charter and B-BBEE targets.

Dividend
The group's dividend policy is to maintain a 2,75 times dividend cover. A final dividend of 41,0 cents 
per share (2015: 37,0 cents per share) for the year was declared on 18 May 2016. The dividend payable 
to shareholders who are subject to dividend tax is 34,85 cents per share (2015: 31,45 cents per share).

Prospects
The group is well positioned to capitalise on its strategic initiatives, which include continued growth 
from an excellent asset base, selective acquisitions and greenfield expansion projects. The acquisition 
of Cape Lime effective 31 March 2016, will complement and augment Afrimat's industrial minerals product
offering and further expand its range of unique products.

Operational efficiency initiatives aimed at expanding volumes, reducing costs and developing the
required skill levels of all employees will continue across all operations.

Afrimat expects the current subdued business climate to continue with the group's growth driven by the
successful execution of its proven strategy, recent acquisitions and a wider product offering to 
the market.

    previous year.

    Included in the above balance, are investments in environmental
    insurance policies of R13,2 million (2015: R11,8 million) measured
    at fair value. The fair value of unquoted unit trusts is derived using
    the adjusted net asset method. The adjusted net asset method
    determines the fair value of the investment in the unit trust by
    reference to the fair value of the individual assets and liabilities
    recognised in a unit trust's statement of financial position. The
    significant inputs to the adjusted net asset method are the fair
    values of the individual assets and liabilities whose fair value is
    derived from quoted market prices in active markets. The fair
    values are indirectly derived from quoted prices in Level 1, and
    therefore included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

15. Events after reporting date
    Cape Lime Proprietary Limited
    Afrimat entered into an agreement in respect of the acquisition of 100% of the issued ordinary
    shares of lime and associated products producer, Cape Lime on 9 October 2015. The acquisition
    was subject to a due diligence process and approval by the competition authorities and the
    Department of Mineral Resources. At the reporting date, the conditions precedent to the contract
    had not yet been satisfied and therefore Afrimat had no control over Cape Lime.
 
    All conditions were met on 31 March 2016 and the aggregate purchase consideration paid for the
    acquisition of Cape Lime was R282,6 million and was settled in cash amounting to R259,0 million

16. Contingencies
    Guarantees to the value of R80,9 million (2015: R64,0 million) were supplied by Standard Bank of
    South Africa Limited to various parties, including the Department of Mineral Resources and Eskom.
 
    Guarantees to the value of R9,8 million (2015: R9,8 million) were supplied by FirstRand Bank 
    Limited to various parties, including the Department of Mineral Resources and Eskom.
 
    Guarantees to the value of R23,5 million (2015: R27,6 million) by Lombard's Insurance Group, 
    R1,4 million (2015: R0,6 million) by ABSA Bank Limited and R2,7 million (2015: R2,7 million) by 
    SIG Guarantee Acceptances Proprietary Limited were supplied to various parties, including the
    Department of Mineral Resources, Eskom and Chevron South Africa Proprietary Limited.
    
    These guarantees are in respect of environmental rehabilitation and will only be payable in the 
    event of default by the group.
 
    A contingent liability exists due to the uncertain timing of cash flows with regards to future 
    local economic development ("LED") commitments made to the Department of Mineral Resources in 
    respect of companies with mining rights. These commitments are dependent on the realisation of 
    the future agreed upon LED projects. Future commitments amount to R5,3 million 
    (2015: R7,5 million). An accrual has been raised in respect of commitments made up to the end 
    of the financial year.
