Goodwill

Goodwill relates to expected synergies, the bulking up of service offerings and an expansion of product
offerings in the Caxton Group.

Note: Investments listed – available for sale
Equity price risk refers to the risk that the fair value of the future cash flows of the listed investments will
fluctuate because of changes in the market prices. The Group's available for sale financial assets are valued
using the fair market value at 30 June 2018.

Fair value estimation
IFRS 13 requires disclosures of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement
hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs used, other than quoted prices, included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or
          liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Fair value determined by valuation that uses inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The level of each investment is determined as follows:
– Mpact, AME and Novus are Level 1
– Thebe Convergent Technology is Level 3

Commentary

Basis of preparation
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the provisional condensed consolidated financial statements
for the twelve months under review are in accordance with the requirements of International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRS") consistent with the prior year, IAS 34 on interim reporting, the JSE Listings Requirements,
financial reporting pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and the Companies
Act of South Africa.

Earnings
The strength and resilience of the Caxton and CTP Publishers and Printers group is illustrated by the year-end
results, achieved against a background of both subdued national economic performance and continued global
changes in the advertising, printing and publishing sector.

The group has posted an improved second half to the financial year. This has meant that the half-year results have
been somewhat mitigated, with profit from operating activities before depreciation showing growth of 1.4% for
the full year as opposed to a decline of 6.1% at the interim reporting period. This is a credible set of results when
taken against the backdrop of weak economic growth and declining business confidence. This recovery was
assisted by the acquisition of some key printing tenders, recovery in certain markets, the continued focus on costs
and rationalisation of operations to adjust to changing market demand.

Revenues recovered from the interim reporting period, ending down by only 1.1%. This is reflective of improved
demand in some of the operations and the positive impact of the Media 24 newspaper and magazine work
that was gained during the last quarter of the financial year. Newspaper and magazine circulation and
advertising revenues continue to decline as the difficult national and local environment persisted throughout
the reporting period. This had a knock-on impact on revenues in the commercial printing divisions which have
also experienced a decline in throughput. Revenue was positively impacted by the acquisitions made during
the period, the most notable being the acquisition of a controlling interest in Private Property, and a number of
smaller packaging operations.

A pleasing feature of the results is the success in containing costs, with increases in raw material, staff and other
operating expenses being well managed below inflation. The rationalisation of certain operations impacted
positively, by reducing costs and this will continue to be a focus area for the forthcoming year. Depreciation
increased to R293.7 million as the new investments in plant were commissioned. Notwithstanding the higher
depreciation charge, profit from operating activities after depreciation increased by 0.6%.

A number of impairments were recognised by the group during the year:

-   Impairment of investments and goodwill (R36.7 million) in Cognition Holdings Limited, Vehicle Trader
    and other smaller magazine publishers as a result of reduced profitability and an ongoing difficult trading
    environment that is likely to endure into the future. This is in addition to the impairment of goodwill associated
    with the acquisition of the labelling operations in the Western Cape that have now been integrated with our
    operation.

-   Impairment of loans (R22.7 million) includes the funding arrangement associated with the sale of 51% of
    Ramsay Media (Pty) Ltd in which the group will fund the business until January 2019, as well as a provision
    against the loan made to Vehicle Trader.

-   During the period, the group disposed of two subsidiaries, being a 51% share of the loss-making magazine
    business Ramsay Media (Pty) Ltd to Highbury Media for a nominal amount, and 100% of it's investment held
    in Moneyweb Holdings Limited to African Media Entertainment Limited for an exchange of shares. The profit
    on disposal of these subsidiaries amounted to R7.8 million.

-   Impairment of plant (R18.7 million) is in response to the loss of the Independent Media contract, effective
    1 August 2018, at the newspaper plant in Cape Town which necessitated the impairment of one of the
    presses.

Net finance income declined by R33.1 million to R114.7 million as a result of reduced dividends from our
investment in Thebe Convergent Technology Holdings (Pty) Ltd and reduced interest due to lower cash balances
over the reporting period.

Net income from associates increased to R31.1 million on the back of improved performances from some printing
associates, as well as the group's investment in the fibre to the home operator Octotel, as new connections
gathered pace.

Profit before tax declined by 11.3% to R541.3 million and income tax absorbed R135.6 million, resulting in
profit for the period of R405.7 million.

The weighted number of shares in issue reduced to 392 426 737 resulting in earnings per share of 98.5 cents
and headline earnings per share of 109.0 cents , a decline of 12.3% and 5.7% respectively.

Cash flow
Cash and cash equivalents reduced by R346.6 million over the corresponding prior year to end at
R1 599.2 million mainly as a result of increased working capital requirements and an increase in investments
and loans.

Operating cash flow before working capital movements was relatively flat at R740.1 million which is reflective
of the trading performance. However, an increased working capital requirement of R113.1 million meant the
cash generated by operations declined by 19.9%. The group was faced with constrained commercial paper and
packaging board supply which increased lead times and also required monthly commitments to access supply.
These factors resulted in inventory being increased to manage the potential risk of non-supply. These conditions
are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. After taxation paid of R128.4 million, the net cash inflow
from operating activities is R498.5 million.

The net investment in property, plant and equipment amounted to R224.9 million, which is below the previous
year's level. Capital expenditure is expected to taper off as the most significant investments have taken place.

The group has made three acquisitions during the reporting period, excluding cash acquired, totalling R159.0 million, 
including a 52.65% investment in Private Property (Pty) Ltd for R122.9 million, and smaller packaging acquisition's. 
The latter comprise the previously reported upon narrow web self-adhesive operation and a corrugated box operation in
the Western Cape.

Further investments and loans were made for R228.4 million, which included the following:

-   A 5% stake in Novus Holdings Limited.

-   An increase in the group's non-controlling share of Shumani Printers.

-   An increase in loans to the group's associate Octotel (Pty) Ltd to fund the roll-out of the fibre to the home
    network in the Western Cape. At the time of reporting, the business has passed over 65 000 homes with an
    ever-increasing connection rate and is generating positive cash flows from operations. The loans have been
    made at commercial terms with adequate security. Additional third-party funding has been made available
    to the business to further fund the roll out-of the network.

-   Increase in loans to our associate Universal Labelling to replace institutional funding, at commercial rates with
    adequate security.

The group continues to look at acquiring its own shares and during the period acquired 5 911 086 shares at
a cost of R79.6 million.

DIVISIONAL PERFORMANCE

Publishing, printing and distribution
Newspaper Publishing and Printing
The group's local newspapers had another tough year, mainly due to a weak consumer market. This led to a
decline in local advertising revenues as core advertisers cut back on spending. These conditions also migrated
to national advertising revenues which also experienced a decline for the first time in five years, as national
retailers curtailed their spend. A positive feature was that management was successful in attracting a number of
new customers who are using our advertising medium for the first time. It is our view that the decline in revenues
has probably levelled out and, combined with cost reduction initiatives, should see our local newspaper division
remaining an important contributor to the group.

Our local newspapers' digital offerings have shown a 21% increase in unique users, reaching over 45 million
unique users per annum, making the group the third largest online publisher in South Africa. All measurement
metrics continue to show improvements with increasing site visits, page views and number of sessions being
recorded. The reach of these offerings has been successfully packaged in combination with print advertising,
leading to a significant increase in digital revenues towards the end of the financial year. Small businesses are
encouraged by the fact that we can now offer a multi-platform advertising solution.

As previously reported the group acquired a 52.65% interest in one of South Africa's largest property portals,
Private Property (Pty) Ltd, along with several high profile estate agents and other industry participants, effective
1 July 2017. Private Property holds a significant market share in the South African property market and has
grown revenues in excess of 30% in recent years. In the period under review, revenues grew 9% while net
income grew 16%. It is envisaged that this acquisition will have significant synergies with the group's local digital
assets that will contribute to further growth in the future.

The newspaper printing operations delivered a stable result despite some major challenges that have been
successfully navigated. The operations have had a year of flux with the closure of two national dailies belonging
to our customers, the loss of the Independent Media printing contract in Gauteng and more recently in the Cape,
and the continued decline in print orders and paginations. The loss of this revenue has fortunately been mitigated
through the successful tender for all the newspaper titles for Media 24 in Gauteng, from 1 April 2018.

Magazine Publishing and Distribution
Despite the ongoing market pressures on advertising and circulation revenues, the group's magazine division
has delivered an improved performance.

The management team continued its focus on ways to mitigate the revenue pressures through implementing
cost saving initiatives and seeking new revenue opportunities. This resulted in costs in all areas recording
year-on-year declines, while the strong growth in digital revenues, albeit off a small base, went some way in
compensating for the decline in traditional revenues.

The division will continue to exploit synergies across the various magazine titles as well as experimenting with
new ways of selling advertising to both its general and niche audiences.

As previously reported, the group disposed of 51% of its loss making magazine subsidiary Ramsay Media to
Highbury Media for a nominal amount and a commitment to fund the cash requirements until January 2019.
The ability of Highbury Media to extract synergies has meant that no funding has been required in the last
quarter of the reporting period.

The group's magazine distribution network is faced with declining circulations and revenue whilst the ever-
increasing cost base impacts negatively on profitability. The move to diversify the revenue stream continues
but cannot compensate for the loss in magazine turnover. It has become critical to consolidate magazine
distribution into one network that will create a more sustainable business in the medium term. This is currently
being investigated for a possible pilot project to be implemented in the Eastern Cape.

Commercial Printing

Web and Gravure
Trading conditions in the commercial markets suffered due to a subdued retail environment in which volumes
were largely flat. However, management was successful in making some inroads into new categories of work
which will add to the base load of our operations into the future. It is envisaged that the retail environment will
continue to show little, if any, growth and thus the continued focus on tight cost control is imperative to remain
competitive.

These operations have also been faced with a constrained supply of paper during the reporting period that it is
expected to continue for the foreseeable future. In response excess stocks have been imported to act as a buffer
against the longer lead times experienced and management is confident that the excellent relationships built up
with overseas sources will mitigate this risk.

Book and Magazine Printing
This division has grown profitability despite a decline in turnover, which is testament to improved operational
efficiencies. The decline in turnover was mainly driven by reduced government spending on educational text
books as there was no repeat of the prior year's unexpected spend from the Eastern Cape. This market is key
to our operation but there is no consistency in demand from one year to the next. This having been said, the
division has enough installed capacity to react should this market recover in the future. A pleasing development
was the tender from Media 24, in which the division gained the monthly periodical publications for a period of
three years. This has had limited impact on the current year's results but will impact the coming financial year. The
division is a significant producer of diaries and this market has been steady over the reporting period.

Packaging and Stationery

Packaging
The packaging divisions recovered during the second half of the financial year on the back of improved demand in
some key markets , the most notable being the fast food and frozen fish markets. The key cigarette market remains
depressed where the illicit trade continues unabated. It is hoped that the positive media reports on a renewed focus
on clamping down on this trade will reverse this trend or at worst, stabilise demand.

Another encouraging feature has been the improved performance of the restructured Gauteng operations where the
consolidation of sites and capacities started to bear fruit in the last quarter of the financial year. There is still a focus
on operational efficiencies and head count reduction that will continue into the new financial year.

The integration of the two narrow web self-adhesive labelling operations that were acquired in the Western Cape
has been completed, with all the integration and retrenchment costs having been recognised in the current reporting
period.

A small acquisition of a corrugated box plant in the Western Cape was completed with effect from 1 June 2018.
This is the group's first venture into the corrugated market and adds to our growing portfolio of packaging products
that we can offer our customer base in that region.

The group has come to the end of the investment cycle into these divisions, which are now well equipped and
positioned to capitalise on these investments by growing market share with a continued focus on being a low cost
manufacturer.

Stationery
This division has performed admirably by increasing market share and profitability. The two acquisitions, being
Flip File and Star Paper, have been extremely successful and with this increased product range the management
has been able to gain a greater share of some major retailer's requirements.

Other
The group's replication business has experienced a significant decline in volumes of CDs and DVDs, which is
indicative of the sunset industry it serves. The division has mitigated the decline through innovative cost saving
initiatives and is in continual discussions with major customers to ensure the facility can continue to supply during
the migration to digital.

Prospects
It does not appear that the economy is set for any meaningful growth in the new year, but the group is in a strong
position to exploit any growth prospects which may emerge. The group will continue to manage the existing
businesses tightly and also seek to capitalise on any acquisition opportunities that may present themselves.
