RESTATEMENT OF INTERIM RESULTS AND TRADING STATEMENT


Restatement of interim results
Shareholders are referred to the interim results announcement for the six months ended
31 May 2016, published on SENS on 29 June 2016, and are advised that, pursuant to further
technical interpretation in accordance with IFRS as part of the year end audit procedures,
the previously reported surplus on the partial disposal of a subsidiary should be recognised in
Equity as opposed to Other Income. Accordingly, the Condensed Statement of
Comprehensive Income and the Condensed Statement of Changes in Equity are restated
below:

It has further been confirmed as part of the audit procedures that no deferred taxation is
required to be provided on the above surplus on partial disposal of a subsidiary.

Trading Statement
In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, companies are required to publish a trading
statement as soon as they are satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the
financial results for the period to be reported will differ by at least 20% from the financial
results for the previous corresponding period or a profit forecast previously provided to the
market in relation to such period.

Whilst the results of the asset finance business continue to be profitable despite tough trading
conditions in 2016, the group is still incurring operating costs on young businesses in the group
in line with the long term strategy of Global, which businesses are expected to only start
generating solid revenues during 2017. Accordingly, the Group expects to incur a loss for the
year ended 30 November 2016.

Shareholders are accordingly advised as follows:

-     the loss per share is expected to be between breakeven and a loss of (2.9) cents per
      share for the year ended 30 November 2016, which will be between 100% and 120%
      lower than the prior year’s earnings per share of 14.7 cents; and

-     the headline earnings per share is expected to be between 0.8 and (0.8) cents per
      share for the year ended 30 November 2016, which will be between 90% and 110%
      lower than the prior year’s headline earnings per share of 16.1 cents per share.

The net asset value per share is expected to exceed 270 cents per share, which will be higher
than the prior year’s net asset value per share of 258.1 cents per share.

The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or
reported on by the company’s auditors.
