COMMENTS

OVERVIEW OF THE YEAR

The Invicta Group has delivered exceptional results for the year to 31 March 2017 under most difficult circumstances.

The conditions in the Group's diverse businesses proved to be challenging. Unusually high volatility in the 
Rand exchange rate, the worst drought in living memory, continued political turmoil and a recession in South Africa 
in Quarters 3 and 4 of the financial year. 

It is therefore extremely pleasing to be able to report such good results, which bear testimony to the resilience of
the Group.

GROUP PERFORMANCE

CONTINUING OPERATIONS

The continuing operations comprise:

- ESG (Engineering Solutions Group) - distributor of engineering products, technical services and solutions including
  bearings, tools, electric motors, hydraulics etc.
- CEG (Capital Equipment Group) - agricultural machinery, construction machinery, forklifts and related parts,
  including Kian Ann Engineering, which is based in Singapore.

Revenue of continuing operations increased by 9.5% from R8.8 billion to R9.6 billion. Operating profit increased by 48%
from R681 million to R1.010 billion. This is due largely to improved gross profit management, cost containment and
reduced foreign exchange cost.

Profit for the year from continuing operations grew by 22% from R472 million to R575 million. Basic earnings per share
from continuing operations grew by 24% from 374 cents per share to 465 cents per share, whilst diluted earnings per
share increased by 26% from 396 cents to 499 cents per share. The dividend for the year is up 18% from 142 cents per
share to 167 cents per share.

Cash generated by all operations was very strong at R1.35 billion, up 130% from R586 million in the prior year.

A restatement of the prior year results has resulted in the prior year comparative numbers being restated. The effect of
this is not material and has resulted in a minor increase of R5.5 million of the comparative period net profit after taxation.

Further growth and expansion of current operations is taking place in Southern Africa, particularly through ESG and its
BMG division.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the year the decision was taken to dispose of BSG (consisting of the MacNeil and Tiletoria group of companies), in
order to focus on the core competency of the Invicta Group, being industrial consumables, capital equipment and parts. 
BSG is therefore shown as a Discontinued Operation in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive 
Income and as Assets Held for Sale in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

ESG

The Engineering Solutions segment grew revenue by 8.5% (R366 million) to R4.665 billion for the year. A combination of
careful gross margin management and cost containment resulted in operating profit increasing by 18% to R480 million.

The R350 million construction and infrastructural expansion programme at BMG World in Johannesburg has been highly
successful, with the relocation of staff and inventory from the Durban facilities now complete. The Durban head office
has now been completely shut down and sold off. Some of the efficiencies from the programme are already evident,
with the main benefits projected to come through after September 2017, when the new warehouse management and
demand forecasting systems will become fully operational.

New branches in Tanzania, DRC and Ghana have started gaining momentum, adding to the non-South African operations
already in place in Zambia, Mozambique, Swaziland, Namibia and Botswana.

CEG

The Capital Equipment segment continues to focus on the growing importance and contribution of original manufactured
and aftermarket parts.

CEG had a highly satisfactory year in a sector which was wracked by the worst drought in South Africa in over 100 years which
resulted in equipment volume declines in the agricultural sector. 

Despite this, revenue grew by 10.5% to R4.955 billion for the financial year through a combination of increased market
share and an improved sales mix. Good gross margin management and exceptional cost control led to operating profit
increasing by a phenomenal 30% to R470 million.

Invicta announced on 1 February 2017 that CEG had reached agreement with CNH Industrial ("CNH") that CNH will
distribute their New Holland brand agricultural products directly into South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho, Botswana and
Namibia with effect from 1 May 2017. The impact on the Invicta Group results for the 2018 financial year is not expected
to be material. The remaining distribution rights for other CNH branded products (CASEIH & CASE Construction) are
not affected by this agreement. CEG will continue to support the New Holland agricultural products in the aftermarket.

BSG

(Included under Discontinued Operations)
The Building Supplies segment grew revenue by 3% to R1.896 billion. Operating profit was up by a highly commendable
55% to R108 million, adding R38 million during the year.

Investment in and construction of the new distribution facility in Midrand, Johannesburg to the value of R150 million
is in progress. This logistics and warehousing hub will provide the infrastructure base for the continued strong growth
expected from the Gauteng market and Southern African territories.

Invicta announced the disposal of BSG to Steinhoff Doors and Building Materials Proprietary Limited on 16 February
2017. All conditions precedent have been met, except for Competition Commission approval, which is expected to be
received within the next few months. The purchase consideration is based on an enterprise value of R732 million for
100% of BSG and excludes certain manufacturing and property businesses currently forming part of BSG, which will be
disposed of separately.

STRATEGIC FOCUS

The Group's strategic focus is to generate cash in its existing businesses and to invest this in sound acquisitions that
diversify the Group's revenue streams both within its product groups and geographically.

PROSPECTS

The Group remains resolute in its efforts to produce results above market benchmarks and its competitors. Trading
conditions are expected to remain challenging in the year ahead.

The businesses that make up the Invicta Group have strong fundamentals and enjoy significant competitive advantage.
Management will continue to consolidate the strengths of the current businesses that make Invicta one of the leading
suppliers of industrial consumable products, capital equipment and parts in Southern Africa.

Any forward looking statement in this announcement has not been reviewed nor reported on by the Company's auditors.

CHANGES TO THE BOARD AND BOARD COMMITTEES

During the 2017 financial year, Byron Nichles resigned as CEO of ESG effective 31 October 2016 and was appointed as
a non-executive director of the Invicta board effective 1 November 2016. Lance Sherrell resigned as a member of the
Audit committee effective 29 August 2016 and was replaced by Ramani Naidoo effective 2 September 2016. Charles

CEO effective 1 February 2017. David Samuels resigned as chairman of the Social and Ethics committee effective 10 April

APPRECIATION

The board is once again highly appreciative to the executive management, the respective management teams of our
businesses and most importantly all the staff, for the excellent commitment and performance in what can only be
described as difficult and uncertain economic times.

The board is confident that, with the strengths the Group possesses and the strategic decisions that the board will take,
the Group will continue to deliver sustainable value to all stakeholders going forward.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The summarised consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited
Listings Requirements for preliminary reports, and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa applicable
to summary financial statements. The Listings Requirements require preliminary reports to be prepared in accordance
with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS), the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial
Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council, and to also, as a minimum, contain the
information required by IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements, from which the summarised consolidated financial statements were derived, are in
terms of IFRS and are consistent with the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the previous consolidated
financial statements except for the accounting policy on the Group's share based payments. Previously the Group's
share based payments were classified as equity settled, this has been changed to cash settled in the current year.
The comparative numbers have been restated for this change in accounting policy.

Shareholders are advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the auditor's engagement they
should obtain a copy of the unmodified ISA 810 and ISA 700 audit reports together with the consolidated financial statements
and financial information from the Company's registered office.

PREPARED BY

These audited annual consolidated financial statements and summarised financial statements have been prepared under
the supervision of Craig Barnard CA(SA), the Financial and Commercial Director.

ACQUISITIONS OF SUBSIDIARIES AND ASSOCIATES

The below acquisitions were made during the year ended 31 March 2017, amounting to R162 million:

ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARIES

The significant acquisitions undertaken in the current year related to Steve Woods Limited, Compact Computers
Solutions (Pty) Ltd, Arc Eng Since 1934 (Pty) Ltd, and D&D Lifting and Crane Services (Pty) Ltd. The Group acquired
control of these companies by purchasing controlling shares of their share capital. These subsidiaries are all operational
within the same segments as the current Group, thus the board identified these businesses based on their ability to
assist the Group with its expansion and growth. The goodwill is based on the provisional fair values of the assets and
liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets at acquisition date. Effective control was obtained through the 
purchase of the majority equity of these subsidiaries. Goodwill arose on these acquisitions because the cost of these 
combinations included a control premium. In addition, the consideration paid for these combinations effectively included 
amounts in relation to the benefit of expected synergies, revenue growth and future market development. These benefits are 
not recognised separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets.

ACQUISITION OF ASSOCIATES

The acquisition of associates amounted to R100 million during the current year of which Kunshan Kensetsu Buhin Co.
Ltd was the only significant acquisition. The company was aquired for R96 709 978. Invicta Holdings Group share
of the net assets of Kunshan Kensetsu Buhin Co. Ltd is R70 343 754 giving rise to notional goodwill of R26 366 224.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE

During the current year the directors announced a plan to dispose of the Company's Building Supply Group business.
The business is being sold to Steinhoff Doors and Building Materials Proprietary Limited and the effective date of the
transaction is 1 April 2017, whilst the transaction closing date will be the 1st day of the month following the month in
which the last of the conditions precedent in the sale contract are fulfilled. The business has therefore been disclosed as
a discontinued operation and an asset held for sale at year end. No further items other than those disclosed above have
occurred after the reporting date.

RESTATEMENT NOTE

This restatement has been accounted for due to the proactive monitoring process of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
In the previous year, the Company accounted for the employee share incentive scheme as equity settled rather
than cash-settled.

As a result of the proactive monitoring process of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange a review of the annual financial
statements was performed by management, during this it was noted that in the previous year the Company had
accounted for a portion of the employee benefits as a provision rather than trade and other payables.

The correction of the above results in adjustments as follows:

                                                              As previously   Restatement

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE

The following is an analysis of the financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value.

They are grouped into levels 1 to 3 based on the extent to which the fair value is observable.

The levels are classified as follows:
Level 1 - fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities
Level 2 - fair value is determined using directly observable inputs other than level 1 inputs
Level 3 - fair value is determined on inputs not based on observable market data
