Commentary

Basis of preparation

The provisional audited summarised consolidated financial results for the year ended 30 June 2017 has been prepared
and presented 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, the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, contains the information as required by IAS 34 -
Interim Financial Reporting and the Companies Act No 71 of 2008, under the supervision of the Chief Financial Officer, 
Mr CG Cunningham CA (SA). The accounting policies applied and methods of computation used in preparation of the
summarised consolidated financial information are in terms of IFRS and consistent with those applied in the financial
statements for the year ended 30 June 2016, except for the change in inventory measurement from first-in-first-out to
weighted average cost. The impact of the change is not material.

Introduction

In accordance with its growth strategy Trellidor Holdings Limited ("Group") acquired the Taylor Blinds and NMC businesses
("Taylor"), effective 7 July 2016. The Group now comprises Trellidor and Taylor and the Group's results include Taylor for
the full year for the first time.

Trellidor is the market leading manufacturer of custom-made barrier security products, distributed via a dedicated and
skilled franchise network situated throughout South Africa, Africa and the UK.

Taylor is a major manufacturer and distributor of custom-made blinds, decorative and security shutters and cornicing/
skirting products. Taylor has a strong presence in the Western and Southern Cape.

Overview

Following the Taylor acquisition, Group revenue for the year grew 67.6% to R525 million in difficult trading conditions. 
The Group's gross profit margin of 47.7% was in line with expectations and consistent with the interim results. Operating
expenses as a ratio to revenue have increased to 29.5% (June 2016: 28.1%) mainly due to acquisition related expenses
of R10.1 million. These acquisition related expenses have been added back in the calculation of core headline earnings
per share, refer note 3. In addition, foreign exchange losses of R3.0 million (June 2016: R2.3 million gain), also negatively
impacted the operating margin.

Profit after tax for the year grew by 22% to R66 million and earnings per share by 17% to 59.3 cents per share. Diluted
core headline earnings per share (see note 3), which is headline earnings per share after adjusting for certain IFRS charges
and once off expenses grew by 27% to 66.0 cents per share.

Cash generated from operating activities has grown 20.5% to R62.3 million.

The Taylor business achieved the earn out targets as defined in the purchase agreement and the deferred consideration
of R30 million was settled from internally generated cash reserves in July 2017. The initial purchase price of R130.6 million
was funded by the issue of shares on listing and debt of R95.8 million.

Following the acquisition of Taylor and as at 30 June 2017, the Group has interest bearing liabilities of R106.0 million which
incurred R9.1 million of net interest for the year ended 30 June 2017. The Group's financial risk is well managed - interest
cover is 8.4 times and debt repayments are covered 2.2 times by net cash from operating activities.

Segments

Trellidor

During the period, consumer spending throughout South Africa and Africa continued to be negatively impacted as a result
of the tough economic conditions. Revenue recovered slightly from half year to grow by 1% for the full year. Mainly due to
low revenue growth and higher steel costs, gross margin reduced from 50.2% to 49.0%. Recurring overhead costs were
well managed to below inflationary increases. These factors together with foreign exchange losses of R2.1 million (June
2016: R2.3 million foreign exchange gain) resulted in the operating profit before interest declining 14.3%.

Taylor

It was encouraging that despite the tough economic conditions, the business achieved the agreed earn out targets.
Revenue of R209.5 million was achieved with gross margins of 45.7% meeting expectation. Operating expenses were
inflated by the acquisition related expenses and IFRS accounting charges (see notes 1 and 3).

Dividend

The Board of Directors has declared a final gross dividend of 19.5 cents (2016: 15.8 cents) per ordinary share. This brings
the total gross dividend for the year ended 30 June 2017 to 30.0 cents (2016: 25.0 cents).

Prospects

The new security shutter, launched during the year, was well received by the market. Continued product range growth is
expected. Africa growth remains a key strategy through opening new distributorships and by extending the number of
Group products being sold into Africa.

The acquisition of Taylor has provided a platform for growth into a new market segment and a diversification of the Group's
revenue streams. Key growth strategies which incorporate distribution synergies with Trellidor, particularly in Africa and
outside the Western and Southern Cape and a broadening of the Taylor product range are being pursued.

The Group is mindful that the economic environment remains fragile and in addition to its revenue growth strategies it will
continue to focus on efficiencies, improved utilisation of materials, overhead control and pricing strategies in order to
mitigate these challenges.

5.   Business combination

     As disclosed in the 2016 Annual Report, Trellidor Innovations Proprietary Limited, a 92.5% held subsidiary of
     Trellidor Holdings Limited, acquired the Taylor Group with effect from 7 July 2016 from Odyssey House Proprietary
     Limited. Integral to the deal was the purchase of a minority stake of 7.5% by the Managing Director of this business,
     this investment was achieved through Novaspectacular Proprietary Limited and is proportional to the investment by
     Trellidor Holdings Limited.

     As part of the purchase agreement, a deferred consideration of R30,000,000, contingent on Taylor achieving an
     earnings target, was agreed, this was achieved and was paid in July 2017. The fair value of this deferred and
     contingent consideration is included in other financial liabilities and at date of purchase was R27 272 000. The fair
     value is based on a discount rate of 10.5% and the earnings target being achieved. The acquisition of the business
     provides the Trellidor Group with strong brands, management team and distribution network for the development of
     the home improvements market, distinct from the Trellidor business. The accounting for the business combination has 
     been finalised and is reported below. The goodwill has increased due to the recognition of a deferred tax liability.

     Full details of the group's business combinations, additions and disposals of property, plant and equipment as well
     as commitments and contingent liabilities are included in the audited consolidated annual financial statements that
     are available to be reviewed at the company's Registered Office.
