AUDITED PROVISIONAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2016

Eqstra to dispose of the Fleet Management and Logistics and Industrial Equipment divisions to enX

Right sized businesses and discontinued non-core operations in all divisions

enX to recapitalise the Contract Mining group post transaction

New long-term funding secured for the continuing operations post transaction

Introduction

The year under review has been an eventful and challenging year for Eqstra, with the group now set to undergo a radical
change that will realise its strategic objectives and position Eqstra for long-term sustainability.  

Following approval of the enX transaction at the shareholders' meeting held on 22 September 2016, Eqstra will transform
into a different group. The transaction results in the disposal of Fleet Management and Logistics and Industrial
Equipment to enX Group Limited in exchange for enX shares. The enX shares received will be subsequently distributed to
Eqstra shareholders as a dividend in specie. The contract mining businesses will remain and will be recapitalised with a
cash injection of R1.4 billion and new borrowing facilities.

Eqstra will change its name to eXtract Group Limited and a new board of directors will be constituted once the
transaction is finalised. The intended board to be ZB Swanepoel as independent non-executive chairperson, J Colling as
CEO, DAG Chadinha as CFO, JL Serfontein and MS Teke as non-executive directors and CS Halsey, SA Nkosi and OM Matloa as
independent non-executive directors.

Financial review

The group reported a loss for the year of R2 253 million compared to a profit of R254 million in the prior year. The
loss is best explained by analysing the components being:

     * Contract Mining and Plant Rental division loss of R463 million (2015: R130 million);
     * Industrial Equipment division profit of R94 million (2015: R131 million);
     * Fleet Management and Logistics division profit of R141 million (2015: R124 million); 
     * Other operations, including the fair value adjustment associated with the enX transaction, loss of R1 007 million
       (2015: R21 million loss); and lastly
     * Remaining discontinued operations (see details below) loss of R1 018 million (2015: R150 million profit).

The division, as the only continuing operation, retained its focus on improving operating profits. The current year's
continuing results were impacted by leasing asset impairments of R536 million (2015: R79 million). In addition, as at 
30 June 2016 the division had R809 million of impaired assets classified as assets held for sale. 

The Benga contract in Mozambique concluded in December 2015 and assets were impaired to expected sale values.
Negotiations with various parties are ongoing to sell these assets. The assets were classified as assets held for sale.
Related asset impairments of R731 million were raised during the year.

The division also discontinued its plant rental operations and related asset impairments of R200 million (2015: R18
million) were raised during the year.

The division improved its lost time injury frequency rate at 0.18 (2015: 0.20).

The division successfully increased new and used unit sales in a declining SA forklift market by securing a number of
new contracts with major blue-chip companies. A foreign exchange loss of R37 million (2015: R2 million gain) impacted
results. The Industrial Equipment's forklift business in the UK continued to perform well. During the year the division
discontinued its non-core Construction Equipment, Agricultural, 600SA manufacturing and Air Supreme businesses following
continued suboptimal performance. The division will be transferred to enX on the transaction effective date.

Revenue-generating assets                                     2 764   3 199 (13.6)

The division performed well. Value add products continued to record growth and profit before taxation improved by 9.9%,
despite a strategy of limiting leasing growth to reduce group gearing. The division sold its Commodities business during
the year and closed operations in Nigeria. The division will be transferred to enX on the transaction effective date.

Dividend

The board has not declared a dividend given the company performance, transition and planned corporate action. 

     

Looking ahead

Under the new eXtract banner, Contract Mining will continue to focus on improving the efficiencies of the mines on which
it operates as well as seeking new projects to diversify its geographic and commodity exposures. Over the next 24
months, management will continue to realise best value for the impaired excess and idle assets within the business and
proceeds will be applied to repay debt. In the long-term the new mining services group will look to grow by acquisition.

The company will change its year-end from June to August. The next set of annual results for Eqstra (then renamed
eXtract) will therefore be for the 14 months ending 31 August 2017. 

Prospects for Fleet Management and Industrial Equipment will be outlined in enX's integrated report.

(2) Interest-bearing borrowings
    Following a substantial impairment to the carrying value of various assets the group breached its capital adequacy covenant at 31 December 2015. Lenders agreed
    to condone the breach subject to certain conditions and a refinancing program was immediately commenced. In light of this and the corporate transaction
    approved by shareholders on 22 September 2016, the relevant debt has been reclassified as short term as at 30 June 2016.

                                                                       30 June        30 June

(5) Fair value hierarchy disclosures
    Valuation methodology
    Level 1 -  valuations with reference to quoted prices in an active market:
    Financial instruments valued with reference to unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets where the quoted price is readily
    available and the price represents actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis.

    Level 2 -  valuations based on observable and unobservable inputs include:
    Financial instruments valued using inputs other than quoted prices as described above for level 1 but which are observable for the asset or liability, either
    directly or indirectly, such as quoted price for similar assets or liabilities in an active market; quoted price for identical or similar assets or liabilities
    in inactive markets; valuation model using observable inputs; and valuation model using inputs derived from/corroborated by observable market data.

    The table below shows the group's financial asset and liabilities that are recognised and subsequently measured at fair value, analysed by valuation technique.

CORPORATE TRANSACTION

On 30 June 2016, Eqstra announced the proposed sale of the Fleet Management and Logistics division and the Industrial Equipment division to enX Group Limited.
Shareholders approved the sale at the general meeting held on 22 September 2016.

As part of the corporate transaction, subsidiaries of Eqstra Holdings in the Fleet Management and Logistics and the Industrial Equipment divisions will be
transferred to enX on the effective date, being the date that all conditions are met, These divisions have been disclosed as assets and associated liabilities
held for sale.

The pre-tax IFRS 5 fair value adjustment of R719 million comprises the loss on sale from the corporate transaction amounting to R683 million before taxation of
R63 million (calculated using proceeds of R1 107 million, being the enX Consideration Shares, and the net asset values of the entities being sold as at 30 June
2016) as well as R36 million relating to entities which were discontinued during the year.

Included in Other is the previously reported corporate office segment and entities which were discontinued during the year. The corporate office segment includes
R40 million of transaction related costs.

In line with the group strategy to close or sell non-core businesses, the group closed the Construction Equipment business, following the termination of the Terex
distribution agreement as well as the Air Supreme and Agricultural businesses.
The Commodities business has been disposed of with effect from 1 May 2015.

CONTRACT MINING AND PLANT RENTAL DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Eqstra Mozambique
The operations which have ceased in Mozambique with the conclusion of the Benga contract, have been included as discontinued operations. An impairment of R731
million was recognised for leasing assets, loans, property and equipment collectively.
Construction Botswana

In line with the group strategy to close or sell non-core businesses, the Botswana construction business was discontinued.
Inventories have been written down to their net realisable value

Plant Hire
In May 2016, the directors announced a plan to dispose of the Plant Hire business. The disposal is consistent with the group's stated strategy of exiting non-core
loss making businesses. As a result, leasing assets were impaired by R200 million.

(12) Significant judgements and estimates

     Following the turmoil in the mining and resources sector, and in addition to the specific impairments raised related to the relevant Assets Held for Sale, the
     group performed a review of the recoverable amount of the South African Contract Mining cash-generating unit (CGU), a significant CGU of the group. The net
     operating assets of the CGU at 30 June 2016 is R2 362 million (30 June 2015: R2 653 million). The value-in-use for the CGU is calculated at R2 755 million (30
     June 2015: R3 407 million).

     The recoverable amount of this CGU was determined based on a value-in-use calculation which uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by
     the directors covering a five-year period, and a discount rate of 13.22% (2015: 11.94%) per annum.

(14) Going concern

     The annual financial statements presented for the Eqstra group have been prepared on the assumption that the Eqstra group as a whole will continue to operate
     as a going concern. This assumption is predicated on the enX transaction being implemented in substantially the form approved by shareholders at a general
     meeting on 22 September 2016.

     The enX transaction will result in a cash injection into the group of R1 400m in the form of ordinary share capital of R100m, preference share capital of
     R600m and subordinated debt of R700m. New banking facilities have also been negotiated with a consortium of lenders subject to the transaction being
     implemented and management believe that these facilities will provide adequate financial resources to enable the group to meet its obligations over the next
     twelve months and beyond.
