NOTES TO THE SUMMARY GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   The summary group financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE
   Limited (JSE) for preliminary reports, and the requirements of the Companies Act (No. 71 of 2008), as
   amended, applicable to summary financial statements. The JSE requires preliminary reports to be prepared
   in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of
   International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and 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 group financial statements, from which the
   summary group financial statements were derived, are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those
   accounting policies applied in the preparation of the previous group annual financial statements, except for
   the adoption of the amendments to IAS 16: Property, plant and equipment and IAS 41: Agriculture
   applicable on bearer plants. The effect of the change was immaterial.
  
   As Capevin Holdings does not have any investments in subsidiaries as of 2013, but only an investment in a
   joint venture, the Company prepares economic interest financial statements in which its investment is equity
   accounted. These economic interest financial statements are referred to as group.
  
   The summary group financial statements do not contain all the information and disclosures required in the
   group financial statements. The summary group financial statements were extracted from the group audited
   financial statements on which PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. has issued an unmodified report. The audited
   group financial statements and the unmodified audit report are available for inspection at the Company's
   registered office.
  
   These summary group financial statements have been compiled by the Company's appointed manager,
   Remgro Management Services Limited, under the supervision of the Financial Director, P R Louw CA(SA).

2. GROUP STRUCTURE
   The sole investment of Capevin Holdings is an effective interest of 26.74% (2016: 26.77%) in the issued
   share capital of Distell Group Limited (Distell), held via its 50% interest in Remgro-Capevin Investments
   Proprietary Limited (RCI).

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
   During the year the Group received dividends from RCI (a joint venture) of R222 374 460
   (2016: R207 119 220). The Group also paid administrative fees of R1 049 135 (2016: R980 500) to Remgro
   Management Services Limited (a subsidiary of an investor with significant influence over the Group).
   During the prior year the Group also disposed of its investment in Historical Homes of South Africa Limited
   to Eikenlust Proprietary Limited (a subsidiary of an investor with significant influence over the Group) for

   Directors' interests
   No director (or associate of any of the directors), holds an interest in the securities of the Company.

   There has been no change in the interests of the directors in the securities of the Company from the reporting
   date up to the approval of the annual financial statements.

4. SEGMENT REPORT
   Capevin Holdings is an investment holding company, with its sole investment being an effective interest in
   Distell. The directors have not identified any other segment to report on.

5. THE PROPOSED RESTRUCTURING OF DISTELL'S OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE
   The investment in Distell is currently held through a multi-tiered ownership structure in which Capevin
   Holdings and Remgro Limited each owns 50% in RCI. RCI, in turn, holds a 52.8% (on a fully diluted basis)
   direct investment in Distell. The Board of Directors resolved to simplify the ownership structure through
   schemes of arrangement in terms of which a new entity, Distell Group Holdings Limited (DGHL) will
   effectively acquire RCI's and all other shareholders' direct and indirect interests in Distell in exchange for
   shares in DGHL. DGHL will be listed on the JSE, while Distell and Capevin Holdings will be delisted.
   Refer to the SENS announcement of 22 June 2017 for more detail.

6. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE
   During July 2017, Distell acquired 26% of the ordinary shares of Best Global Brands (BGB) for
   USD 54.6 million. It also entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 74% of BGB's ordinary shares,
   which will become effective no earlier than the end of 2019 once certain operating hurdles are achieved and
   conditions precedent to closing are fulfilled or waived. BGB and Distell expect the transaction to generate
   significant synergies in the short to medium term, which will unlock further value for both parties.

COMMENTARY (unaudited)

FINANCIAL RESULTS
For the year ended 30 June 2017 Distell's revenue grew by 3.7% to R22.3 billion on constant sales volumes.
Distell's results for the year were negatively impacted by a substantially stronger rand against the major
currencies in which Distell trades. Operating costs rose by 4.5%.

Distell reported a 3.6% decrease in headline earnings to R1 553.3 million, with headline earnings per share
decreasing by 3.7% to 708.3 cents. Capevin Holdings' headline earnings per share for the year ended
30 June 2017 consequently decreased by 4.1% to 47.2 cents per share.

Distell's headline earnings adjusted for foreign exchange movements increased by 7.4% to R1 600.2 million
(2016: R1 490.6 million).

The Company's intrinsic value decreased by 15.3% to R9.14 per share – based on Distell's last traded price of
R137.01 at 30 June 2017 (excluding capital gains tax) (30 June 2016: R161.80). Capevin Holdings' discount
to intrinsic value has narrowed from 16.8% at 30 June 2016 to 1.0% at 30 June 2017.

PROSPECTS
Distell's board believes that the outlook for global economic growth will remain muted, while African gross
domestic product growth will still be impacted by low commodity prices. Distell will continue to invest in its
priority markets and is restructuring its brand portfolio and asset base in order to simplify and focus the
business. Distell has a diversified and exciting range of well-priced, good quality wine, spirit, cider and RTD
brands that enables it to compete effectively and to continue to maximise trading opportunities.

REPORTS OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
The Company's directors are responsible for the preparation of a summarised version of the audited group
financial statements.

These summary group financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017 have been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., who expressed an unmodified opinion thereon. The auditor also expressed an
unmodified opinion on the annual financial statements from which these summary group financial statements
were derived.

A copy of the auditor's report on the summary group financial statements and of the auditor's report on the
annual group financial statements are available for inspection at the Company's registered office, together with
the financial statements identified in the respective auditor's reports.

The auditor's report does not necessarily report on all of the information contained in this
announcement/financial results. Shareholders are therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding
of the nature of the auditor's engagement they should obtain a copy of the auditor's report together with the
accompanying financial information from the issuer's registered office.

DECLARATION OF CASH DIVIDEND
In terms of the dividend policy of Capevin Holdings, dividends received from its indirect interest in Distell,
after providing for administrative expenses, will be distributed to shareholders. The directors have consequently
resolved to approve and declare a final gross cash dividend (dividend number 26) of 13.60 cents
(2016: 14.20 cents) per share for the year ended 30 June 2017. The dividend has been declared from income
reserves.

A dividend withholding tax of 20% or 2.7200 cents per share will be applicable, resulting in a net dividend of
10.88 cents per share, unless the shareholder concerned is exempt from paying dividend withholding tax or is
entitled to a reduced rate in terms of an applicable double-tax agreement.

The total gross dividend per share for the year ended 30 June 2017 therefore amounts to 24.20 cents, compared
to 25.60 cents for the year ended 30 June 2016.

The number of issued ordinary shares as at 13 September 2017 is 880 103 265. The Company's income tax
number is 9599/656/71/8.

In terms of the Company's Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI), dividends will only be transferred
electronically to the bank accounts of shareholders, while dividend cheques are no longer issued. In the instance
where shareholders do not provide the Transfer Secretaries with their banking details, the dividend will not be
forfeited, but will be marked as "unclaimed" in the share register until the shareholder provides the Transfer
Secretaries with the relevant banking details for payout.

In terms of the Company's MOI, the Board declared all dividends that are not claimed by shareholders after a
three-year period forfeited in terms of the applicable prescription laws.

The Annual Report will be posted to members and will be available on Capevin Holding's website at
