NOTES TO THE GROUP INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The summary group interim financial statements as at and for the six months ended 31 December 2017
have been prepared in accordance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (JSE) and the
requirements of the Companies Act (No. 71 of 2008), as amended, applicable to summary financial
statements. The JSE requires summary financial statements 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 directors are responsible for the preparation of the summary group interim financial statements,
prepared under supervision of the financial director, Mr P R Louw CA(SA), an employee of the
Company's appointed manager, Remgro Management Services Limited. The summary group interim
financial statements have not been audited or reviewed by the Company's auditors.
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these summary group interim financial statements
are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the previous group annual financial
statements.
Capevin Holdings applied all new and amended accounting pronouncements issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board that are effective for the financial years commencing from 1 July 2017. None
of these pronouncements had a material impact on the reported results.
2. GROUP STRUCTURE
The sole investment of Capevin Holdings is an effective interest of 26.74% (31 December 2016: 26.75%
and 30 June 2017: 26.74%) 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 INFORMATION
During the period under review the Group received dividends from RCI (a joint venture) of R83.6 million
(31 December 2016: R125.6 million; 30 June 2017: R222.4 million), as well as the repayment of a
shareholder's loan of R42.0 million. The Group also paid administrative fees of R0.6 million
(31 December 2016: R0.5 million; 30 June 2017: R1.0 million) to Remgro Management Services Limited
(a subsidiary of an investor with significant influence over the Group).
Directors' emoluments paid during the six months ended 31 December 2017 amounted to R0.8 million
(31 December 2016: R Nil; 30 June 2017: R0.2 million).
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
As approved at the Capevin Holdings and Distell scheme meetings on 27 October 2017, the shareholding
structure of Distell will be simplified through various schemes of arrangement. Currently Distell has a
multi-tiered ownership structure, in which Remgro Limited (Remgro) and Capevin Holdings own a
material interest via RCI. Remgro and Capevin Holdings each hold 50% in RCI, and RCI has a 52.8%
direct interest (on a fully diluted basis) in Distell.
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 directly in DGHL. DGHL will
be listed on the JSE and Distell and Capevin Holdings will be delisted. The finalisation of the restructuring
is expected to occur in April 2018, once all regulatory approvals have been obtained.
COMMENTARY
FINANCIAL RESULTS
For the six months ended 31 December 2017, Distell's revenue increased by 9.3% to R13.4 billion on a sales
volume increase of 3.7%. Reported headline earnings and headline earnings per share for the six months ended
31 December 2017 decreased by 5.1% to R1 117.3 million and 509.2 cents, respectively. Forex adjusted
normalised headline earnings, which exclude once-off losses and impairments in Tanzania Distilleries Limited
following a sachet ban and excise dispute, as well as an adjustment for interest income in the comparative period
on the settlement of an excise dispute, increased by 3.2% to R1 243.2 million (2016: R1 204.3 million). The
financial results for the period were again supported by efficiency improvements and cost containment
initiatives, but negatively affected by the stronger rand.
Capevin Holdings' headline earnings per share for the six months ended 31 December 2017 decreased by 7.8%
to 33.0 cents (2016: 35.8 cents), mainly due to Distell's lower headline earnings contribution, as well as
expenses incurred pertaining to the corporate restructuring referred to earlier.
Pro forma financial information
Capevin Holdings' directors are responsible for calculating the intrinsic value per share, which constitutes pro
forma financial information that were prepared for illustrative purposes. The intrinsic value per share was
determine with reference to Distell's closing share price at the reporting date in order to illustrate the underlying
value supporting the Company's share price. Because of the nature of pro forma information, it may not fairly
present the Group's financial position, changes in equity, results of operation or cash flows.

tax), while the discount to intrinsic value has widened from 1.0% to 4.5%. On 26 February 2018, Distell's share
price decreased to R137.79, while Capevin Holdings' decreased to R8.80 (31 December 2017: R9.04).
PROSPECTS
Distell's board believes that growth across advanced economies and most emerging markets points to a more
favourable global economic outlook. However, risks continue to face the domestic economy in the short term.
The strengthening of the rand, higher grape prices and water shortages will have a negative impact on the
business.
Distell intends to defend and grow its market share through an optimised brand portfolio and innovation. It will
look to continue and lead in the recovery of the brandy category and drive its wine strategy. Competition
increased in the local cider market and Distell will increase investment in the renovation of its Hunter's brand.
Distell is making good progress in its programme to create a more agile and efficient business by restructuring
its brand portfolio, asset base and operating models. Distell has a portfolio of strong, divers and appealing
brands, as well as the capacity to trade across a spectrum of markets. Accordingly, it is well positioned to
capture trading opportunities in both domestic and foreign markets.

DIRECTORATE
There was no change in the Company's directorate during the period under review.
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 an interim gross cash dividend (dividend number 27) of 10.95 cents
(2016: 10.60 cents) per share for the six months ended 31 December 2017. The dividend has been declared
from income reserves.
A dividend withholding tax rate of 20% or 2.19 cents per share will be applicable, resulting in a net dividend
of 8.76 cents per share, unless the shareholder concerned is exempt from paying dividend withholding tax or is
entitled to a reduced rate in terms of the applicable double-tax agreement.
The number of issued ordinary shares as at 8 March 2018 is 880 103 265. The Company's income tax number
is 9599/656/71/8.
Dates of importance:
Last day to trade in order to participate in the dividend Tuesday, 3 April 2018

Payment date Monday, 9 April 2018
Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday, 4 April 2018, and Friday,

In terms of the Company's Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI), dividends will only be transferred
electronically to the bank accounts of shareholders, as 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.
