INTRODUCTION

The Board is pleased to report that the Group's long standing, continuing business operations, posted encouraging growth and extremely
satisfying profits for the six-month period ended 31 December 2016. Having finally disposed of the Group's Indian sales and marketing
business and the majority stake in the Ghanaian enterprise in this period, and having effectively dealt with all other inherited
underperforming assets, since control of Adcock Ingram changed in 2014, the restructured business starts to reveal the positive impact and
favourable direction that a cleansed Adcock Ingram is capable of delivering, now under a fully focused leadership team, in conjunction with a
restructured and committed management in each of the divisional units.

Under such circumstances, each of the business units, posted solid performances, achieving good growth in turnover, optimally balanced with
good cost control. This pattern of activity yielded exceptional growth in trading profits. It is also pleasing to report that the deliberate emphasis
now placed on customer service, coupled with the more focused effort on sales and marketing, resulted in meaningful market share gains in
many of the Group's principal brands, regularly measured and reported on by IMS and Nielsen.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Turnover and Profits

Group turnover during the period under review increased by 11.2% to R2,979 million. Apart from volume growth of approximately 4.8%, the
remaining components within the turnover growth include two single exit price (SEP) increases during the year, in aggregate approximately
6.4%. The 4.8% volume growth is an encouraging indicator, given that IMS reports market growth in the sector at less than 1% on a moving-
annual-turnover basis. The gross profit percentage maintained a satisfactory level, declining marginally from 36.3% to 36.1%.

Operating expenses were well controlled and increased by only 5.9%, resulting in a 22.4% improvement in trading profit to R342 million (Dec 2015:
R279 million).

Non-trading expenses

Non-trading expenses of R19.2 million include share-based expenses of R13.8 million and corporate activity costs of R5.4 million. The prior
period comparative of R41.0 million included the one-off IFRS 2 charge of R20.8 million related to the implementation of the July 2015 B-BBEE scheme.

Net finance costs and headline earnings

Net finance costs decreased from R38.8 million in the prior period to R17.5 million, following the reduction in the Group's overall net debt since June 2016.

Headline earnings from continuing operations for the period under review amounted to R241.0 million (Dec 2015: R159.0 million). This
translates into headline earnings per share of 144.9 cents (Dec 2015: 95.1 cents), an increase of 52%.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

OTC turnover improved by 16.2% over the prior comparative period, supported by increased volumes during the winter season and
encouraging demand in the tender and export markets. Top brands including Allergex, Citro-Soda, Alcophyllex, Dilinct and Adco-Linctopent,
all showed double-digit growth. Analgesic brands containing codeine, achieved very low growth following a change in regulation for these
products. This business unit, which focuses on products in pain, coughs, colds and flu, and anti-histamine therapeutic areas through the
pharmacy channel, posted growth well ahead of the market as measured by IMS in the categories in which it competes.

Despite the punitive impact of the exchange rate and a detectable change in consumer buying patterns to smaller pack sizes, trading profit
increased by 13.2% to R145.6 million (Dec 2015: R128.6 million). The division acquired Brolene Eye Drops and Stop-Allerg Eye Drops from Genop
Healthcare Proprietary Limited and commenced marketing these brands in October 2016. These brands will augment the division's existing
ophthalmology product offering. In addition, Asic, Complenatal and Totonik were purchased from Pharmaceutical Enterprises Proprietary
Limited towards the end of the reporting period. Asic is a well-respected anti-nausea product for pregnant women.

Prescription turnover improved by 13.0% to R1 008.6 million (Dec 2015: R892.4 million) aided by the SEP increases. This division achieved
double digit growth in the private market segment as measured by IMS. A gross margin improvement was realised in this period, driven by an
advantageous sales mix. Trading profit of R116.5 million is well ahead (33.8%) of the trading profit in the comparative period of R87.1 million. In
July 2016, this division obtained the sales and promotional rights for the Astellas dermatology range, through our partner Leo Pharmaceuticals.

Consumer turnover of R334.8 million is only marginally ahead of the comparable period. The division faced a challenging
economic environment, where discretionary spend remains under pressure. According to Nielsen's, Panado, Compral and Bioplus continued
to outgrow the product segments in which they compete. Good cost control in this business unit enabled trading profits to increase by 24.5%
to R52.4 million (Dec 2015: R42.1 million). This division has been actively seeking acquisitions and with effect from March 2017, the division will
own and market the ISLAND TRIBE range of sunscreen products. Intellectual property has also been acquired for a dermatologist-formulated
hand and body treatment range, to be launched under the DERM-A-SOOTHE brand name.

Hospital turnover increased by 5.8% to R662.4 million (Dec 2015: R626.2 million) with all product categories achieving growth over the prior
period. Trading profits increased to R27.0 million (Dec 2015: R21.6 million). The division secured the commercial rights to the Pharma-Q
range of products in South Africa in December 2016 and has recently commenced marketing the range on behalf of Pharma-Q.

The Group's enterprises in Zimbabwe and Kenya have for some time underperformed in challenging markets. These entities fortunately
constitute a very small percentage of Group assets and collectively incurred a trading loss of R0.9 million during the period under review.
The OTC Division has taken responsibility for managing the Kenyan operation and we accordingly expect that the business will stabilise and
hopefully improve its performance.

4   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
    During the year ended 30 June 2016, the Board had resolved to dispose of:
  
    - Adcock Ingram Private Limited (India); and
    - Ayrton Drug Manufacturing Limited (Ayrton) in Ghana.
  
    This resulted in the above businesses being classified and accounted for as a disposal group held-for-sale during the previous financial
    year. India was disposed of on 14 October 2016 and 53.47% of Ayrton on 7 December 2016, with the Group retaining a 25.1% minority
    share in Ayrton. The loss of control on disposal resulted in the foreign currency translation reserve relating to both entities being recycled
    to profit and loss.

Forward-looking statements
Adcock Ingram may, in this document, make certain statements that are not historical facts and relate to analyses and other information
which are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These statements may also relate to our future
prospects, developments and business strategies. Examples of such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements
regarding exchange rate fluctuations, volume growth, increases in market share, total shareholder return and cost reductions. Words such
as "believe", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "seek", "will", "plan", "could", "may", "endeavour" and "project" and similar expressions are intended to
identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. By their very nature, forward-looking
statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and there are risks that the predictions, forecasts, projections
and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved. If one or more of these risks materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. Forward-looking statements apply only as of the date on which they
are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
