COMMENTARY
POINTS OF INTEREST
- Group Revenue is up by 4%.
- EBITDA up from (R174,000) to R3 046 000.
- Net asset value improved from 526,4 to 531,4 cents per share.

EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
The total comprehensive income for the first half of the year is a modest R581 000 amounting to
a positive change of R3 738 000 compared to the same period last year.

We have had an interesting first six months of the 2017 financial year and continue to consolidate
after the turbulent times we experienced during the same period last year. Our management
team now has a firm understanding of the business and has established a strong base from
which to grow.

Sales increased by 4%, much of which was a result of excellent growth of 86% in our food
products manufacturing division. Our cost reduction programme has been extremely successful
with our total EBITDA improving from a loss position at this stage last year to R3 046 000 for the
current reporting period.

Our mining/industrial/marine division continues to cope with challenges such as shutdowns of
a number of mining operations. Our Eskom business, where we supply special lubricants for
critical applications, has dropped to some extent. Our international sales division is receiving
additional marketing attention which should reflect in the results for the second half.

We have continued making significant ground in the area of inventory management with new
inventory planning software assisting us in this regard. This in turn has resulted in more efficient
purchasing of raw materials which has greatly assisted us in better cash and accounts payable management.

We look forward to the second half of the financial year which has traditionally been the better
half for us.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS
The special lubricants and allied chemicals segment has achieved sales growth of 6,4%
compared to the same period last year largely due to the increase in the food products
manufacturing division. The significant weakening of the Rand has had an overall positive effect
on our financials as a whole. A lot of energy is currently being spent looking for new markets to
develop where our product quality and pricing are favourable factors in achieving growth.

Our metal powders segment has coped with some quality difficulties in the previous year caused by quality
fluctuations in the raw material we obtained from certain suppliers. As a result certain cost-cutting
measures have been put in place at Coppermet Proprietary Limited including staff reduction
and a cut of overtime which will help in producing better results. We are still trying to win back
lost export customers after last year's quality issues, but this is taking longer than anticipated.

We are hopeful that the business will be operating at its usual capacity by the beginning of the
next financial year.

Our Rotterdam-based EU distribution from the Netherlands is experiencing good growth off a
low base when compared to the same period last year. We are working closely with our partners
in the Netherlands to improve efficiencies in our logistics operations.

INTERIM DIVIDEND
No dividends have been declared nor are any proposed for the period reported on (2015: RNil).
