Commentary
Basis of preparation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial results for the six months ended 
31 August 2016 ("the interim results") have been prepared in accordance with the framework
concepts, the recognition and measurement requirements of International Financial Reporting 
Standards ("IFRS"), the disclosure and presentation requirements of IAS 34: Interim Financial 
Reporting, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices 
Committee, the Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting 
Standards Council, the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited ("Listings Requirements") 
and the South African Companies Act, 2008 (Act 71 of 2008), as amended. The accounting 
policies and method of computation applied in preparation of these financial statements are 
in accordance with IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the annual financial 
statements for the 12 months ended 28 February 2016. 

The interim results have been prepared under the supervision of the Financial Director, 
Tony Dreisenstock CA(SA), and have not been audited or reviewed by the Group's auditors. 

Any forecast financial information contained in the interim results has not been reviewed 
and reported on by the Group's auditors in accordance with paragraph 8.40(a) of the 
Listings Requirements.

Nature of business
PSV is an industrial engineering holding company comprising two operating business segments:
-  Industrial Supplies (including steel, piping, industrial tools and consumable supplies and
   automotive capital equipment); and
-  Specialised Services (including comprehensive cryogenic and gas systems and
   geosynthetic linings).
  
Introduction
The interim period has seen an improvement in the South African businesses of PSV,
primarily Engineered Linings and a discernible improvement in Turbo Agencies.

Financial results
Total loss from operations for the period settled at R0.748 million, a significant
improvement from the loss of R7.2 million incurred for the six months ended, 31 August 2015. 
Headline loss per share improved from 1.57 cents per share ("cps") as at 31 August 2015, 
to 0.25 cps as at 31 August 2016.

Total cash flow from operating activities remained positive at R4.67 million compared
R4.48 million at 31 August 2015. The Company's net overdraft position remained stable at
R9.428 million compared to R8.785 million in the previous year.

The Company's statement of financial position weakened slightly as a result of the loss
incurred in the period. The fair values of the long-term financial instruments approximate 
their carrying values due to the variable interest rate terms of the financial instruments. 
The directors consider the carrying values of the current financial instruments to approximate 
their fair value due to their short-term nature.

Operational review
Industrial Supplies
This segment contributed 52% (2015: 58%) to the Group's consolidated reportable segment 
revenue from continuing operations at an average gross profit margin of 20% (2015: 22%).

Omnirapid continues to perform ahead of expectations with good profit at improved margins. 
This success remains cemented in outstanding service delivery and strong customer relationships, 
essential characteristics in a tough market.

Turbo Agencies operates only in Botswana. This business has been substantially restructured 
and is starting to show signs of a sustainable turnaround. The Company has aggressively 
focused on recapturing lost market share and diversifying its client base. We expect this 
business to return to profitability in the near future.

Specialised Services
Specialised Services contributed 48% (2015: 42%) to the Group's consolidated reportable
segment revenue at an average gross profit margin of 15% (2015: 14%).

Engineered Linings' resurgence continues apace. The business unit enjoys a healthy order
book, excellent cash flow generation and tight cost control. A combination of these factors
has ensured significantly higher gross margins being achieved, and sustainable levels 
of profitability.

African Cryogenics has struggled in the first half of the current year. A depressed oil and
gas industry, changing management structures and no tariff protection against foreign imports 
have all contributed to the business unit's problems. Notwithstanding, the unit managed to 
generate a profit for the first six months, although the sustainability is not certain.

Outlook
The Company has a cautiously optimistic view going forward. All South African business
operations are now profitable; cash flow generation from operating activities has remained
positive for the fourth quarter in a row and gross margins have recovered reversing a
declining trend lasting several years. Shared service costs now represent just under 5% of
consolidated Group turnover.

Dividends
No dividends were declared or proposed. The Board reviews the dividend policy annually.

Changes to the Board
During the period under review, Ralph Patmore resigned as Chairman and was replaced by
Eric Ratshikhopha, our previous Social and Ethics Committee Chairperson. Eric's position
as Chairperson of the Social and Ethics Committee has been occupied by Lerato Mosiah,
who was appointed as an independent non-executive director effective from 1 October 2016.

Lerato Mosiah has vast experience in general management and business leadership. She holds 
inter alia a BSc with Honours in General Physiology (Wits), a B-Pharm degree and an MBA. 
Lerato also participated in the executive global leadership development programme at Oxford 
University School of Business. She is currently an executive director at the Leato Group.

Litigation statement
There are no material matters under litigation against the Company at present.

Going concern
Whilst the Company continues to incur losses, the Board performs a continual extensive
review of the going concern viability, liquidity and solvency of PSV. Based on the actual
results to date and forecasted figures to February 2017, the Board is satisfied that the
Company will remain a viable going concern.

Notwithstanding the small loss generated by the Company for the first six months, no
impairment of the existing goodwill was deemed necessary.

Subsequent events
There have been no subsequent events between the period ending and the date of 
this announcement.

Prospects
PSV's management remains cautiously optimistic on the prospects of the Company's business 
operations. Management is confident that the business units of Omnirapid, Engineered 
Linings, African Cryogenics and Turbo will be able to diversify, source new clients and 
remain profitable.
