COMMENTARY
1.  Performance for the six months to 30 June 2016
    Operations at the Groups Umlabu Colliery continue to be suspended pending the finalisation of the Water Use Licence Application
    (WULA) by the Department of Minerals and Resources (DMR). All assets and infrastructure are being maintained under a 'Care and
    Maintenance' programme.
    The Group is utilising its logistical and infrastructural assets to generate rental income to offset the costs incurred while operations
    remain suspended.

2.  Foreign exchange gain
    The decrease of the US$/ZAR rate from R15.56 to R14.86 during the reporting period resulted in an unrealised gain of R28.762 million
    (2015: loss of R31.379 million) on the shareholders loan.

3.  Revenue
    Revenue has increased to R4.098 million (2015: R3.490 million) due to more income from renting of logistic assets.

4.  Depreciation
    Depreciation charges of R4.2 million (2015: R2.7 million) are higher than the previous year as a result of assets that had depreciation
    against them reversed as a result of a prior period error.
 
5.  Cash flow statement generated from operations for interim review period

6.  Statement of reserves and resources and prospects
    No material changes have taken place since the last reporting period. The reserves and resources statement has been approved by
    the JSE, a copy of which is available on the company's website.

7.  Financing activities
    Finance costs of R10.4 million (2015: R7.4 million) are as a result of the Shareholders' loan value being increased by an additional loan
    being granted by JSW to Umlabu during the period.

8.  Asset management
    Working capital has increased by 24% due to trading volumes with suppliers and customers being reduced at Umlabu Colliery.

9.   Income and deferred tax
                                                                                                             30 June 2016   31 December 2015
                                                                                                                    R'000              R'000
    Deferred tax was raised on the following items:
    a)  Gain on loans acquired from subsidiaries                                                                  (8 613)            (8 613)
    b)  Bad debts provision                                                                                         (253)                  -
    c) Prepayments                                                                                                      -               (64)
                                                                                                                  (8 866)            (8 677)

    Prepayments made on behalf of JSW fell due during the period. As a result, the deferred tax liability attached thereto was recognised
    through the statement of profit and loss. A provision for bad debts was raised, resulting in a deferred tax liability being recognised
    through the statement of profit and loss. The impact of these movements in the deferred tax liability on the statement of profit and loss
    are summarised as follows:
   
    Description                                                                                                                       R'000
    Reversal of deferred tax liability on prepayments                                                                                    64

    Total                                                                                                                             (189)

10. Non-current provisions
    This pertains to the rehabilitation provision of R53.751 million (2015: R46.576 million) in the current year. The increase in the provision was driven
    mainly by inflation caused by the weakening of the exchange rate from 2015 to 2016. The mine remains under care and maintenance.

11. Trade and other receivables
    Movement of trade and other receivables during interim period:
                                                                                                                 Reviewed          Restated

12. Mining Rights
    The carrying value of Mining Rights is tested against expected economic benefit based on expected cash flows discounted to
    their present value to determine whether there is any impairment of the value of the Mineral Rights at year-end. No impairment was
    considered necessary during the reporting period.
    The following significant assumptions have been made in determining the economic value of mineral rights:
    -  Selling prices - the API4 index as quoted by McCloskeys.
    -  Foreign exchange - the forecast as quoted by The Standard Bank of South Africa.
    -  Discount rate - expected future cash flows have been discounted to their present value based on a Weighted Average Cost of
       Capital (WACC) of 13.1 % (2015: 13.1%).

13. Going concern
    We draw attention to the fact that as at 30 June 2016, the Group had accumulated losses of (R396 293 000) and that the Group's
    total liabilities exceed its assets by (R426 943 000). The Group's going concern has been underwritten by the support of JSW Energy
    (a company listed on the Indian Stock Exchanges) which operates through its subsidiary JSW Energy Natural Resources South Africa
    Proprietary Limited ("JSWENRSAL") supporting SACMH. JSW Energy has confirmed its support in writing of their intention to continue
    financial support of SACMH. Subject to the following:
    -  JSW obtains Board approval for additional funding at the time;
    -  JSW fulfils all regulatory requirements as prescribed by Indian legislation; and
    -  JSW remains the majority shareholder.
    In terms of the loan agreements JSW Energy has undertaken not to accept repayment of its loan accounts until such stage as SACMH's
    assets, fairly valued, exceed its liabilities.

14. Events after the reporting period
    On 9 September 2016, the Company published a circular to the effect that it proposed delisting from the JSE and that JSWSA, which
    currently held 67.27% of the issued shares, were offering to purchase the remaining shares for a consideration equal to nine cents per
    share. The general meeting where the delisting is to be ratified is expected to occur on 12 October 2016.

15. Composition of the Audit and Remuneration Committees
    Messrs MCH Dhlamini (Chairman) and JM Mokgokong and His Excellency K Ashraff, being independent non-executive directors, were
    appointed as members of the Audit and Risk Committee on 19 May 2015.
    His Excellency K Ashraff (Chairman) and Messrs MCH Dhlamini and JM Mokgokong were appointed members of the Remuneration
    and Nominations Committee on 19 May 2015.

16. Capital expenditure commitments
    The group has no capital expenditure commitments.

17. Contingencies and commitments
    There are no contingencies and commitments at reporting date.

18. Prospects
    Until such stage as approval of the WULA for the Voorslag reserve at Umlabu Colliery is received, operations will remain suspended.
    The group is actively pursuing opportunities to lease its logistical as well as its infrastructure to third parties in the interim to offset the
    costs of 'Care and Maintenance'.
    No commitment has been received from the DWAF with regard to finalisation of the WULA.

19. Related party transactions
    During the period under review, group entities entered into the following trading transactions with related parties that are not members
    of the group:

20. Restatement
    During the current year, it was found that expenses incurred in paying one of our service providers during the 2015 year actually related
    to expenses paid on behalf of JSW Natural Energy Resources South Africa Proprietary Limited. As a result, trade and other receivables
    was reduced by R228 360 and loans to Shareholders was increased by the same amount.
    An account statement was received from one of our creditors during September 2016, indicating that an amount was still outstanding
    to them as at 31 December 2015. As a result, trade and other payables was increased by R593 619 and accumulated loss was
    increased by the same amount. Of this amount, R19 224 related to the six months ending 30 June 2015, necessitating an increase of
    operating expenses by the said amount.
    The correction of these errors have resulted in the following changes.
                                                                                                        Restated
