OVERVIEW

Brikor is a diverse manufacturer and supplier of building and construction materials across a broad spectrum of the
market from low-cost housing, residential to commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects. The group operates
through two segments, namely bricks and coal (the latter being through its subsidiary, Ilangabi Investments 12 (Pty)
Ltd).

The directors of Brikor are pleased to present the condensed consolidated interim financial results for the period
ended 31 August 2018, which reflect the Brikor group’s commitment to its core focus of risk management and
sustainability in a distressed economic trading environment.

The group’s overall financial indicators mirror the constraints experienced in the current economic climate.

DIRECTOR RESPONSIBILITY

The directors take full responsibility for the preparation of the abridged report and that the financial information has
been correctly extracted from the underlying financial statements.

FINANCIAL RESULTS – continuing operations

Revenue increased to R153,6 million (August 2017: R152,8 million) with the gross profit percentage decreasing to
21,1% (August 2017: 27,6%).

The competitive South African economic environment continues to put strain on selling prices in the brick segment.
The brick segment is also experiencing a change in demand of product range mixes with lower gross profit yielding
products prevailing. As a direct result the revenue in the brick segment has reduced by 3,9% to R88,9 million (August
2017: R92,5 million) with the gross profit reducing by 32,9% to R15,3 million (August 2017: R22,8 million).

The increased supply of coal segment product range, which yields higher prices resulted in an increase of 16,6% to
R79,4 million (August 2017: R68,1 million) which therefore resulted in an overall increase in the revenue for the
group.
Gross profit for the coal segment, however, reduced by 11,4% to R17.1 million (August 2017: R19,3 million), this
was a result of a new sizing plant which was commissioned for the group and took several weeks of installation
resulting in increased cost of production per ton due to the lack of volumes in March and April 2018 with fixed costs
remaining unchanged.

Other income reduced by 24,4% to R3,1 million (August 2017: R4,1 million) due to the expiry of certain rental
agreements as well as profit on sale of equipment in August 2017 which was a once of occurrence.

Administration, distribution and other expenses increased to R27,1 million (August 2017: R21,9 million), mainly due
to the cost incurred with the earlier release of the integrated annual report to the extent of R1,9 million and R1,9
million increased spend on Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment targets set by the group. The balance is a
result of annual inflationary increases.

Finance costs during the period reduced to R3,9 million (2017: R5,8 million) due to the settlement of the royalty tax
liabilities capital portion of R16,4 million, provisional tax liabilities of R3,3 million and the repayment of the estate
late GvN Parkin interest bearing loans to the extent of R20,0 million. This has positively influenced the current assets
versus current liabilities ratio which is now 1,4 times previously 1,1 times in August 2017. The debt to equity ratio
has greatly reduced from 3,0 times to 2,3 times, reducing overall credit risk for the group.

The group ended the financial period with an attributable profit from continuing operations of R2,1 million (August
2017: R13,2 million), resulting in basic earnings per share of 0,3 cents (August 2017: 2,1 cents) and basic headline
earnings per share of 0,3 cents (August 2017: 2,0 cents).

Property, plant and equipment decreased to R68,1 million from the February 2018 year-end amount of R73,6
million due to the following:
   - the additions to buildings of R0,4 million;
   - the additions of plant and equipment of R1,9 million;
   - the additions to motor vehicles of R0,8 million;
   - the disposal of plant and equipment of R0,8 million;
   - the disposal of motor vehicles of R0,3 million; and
   - depreciation of R7,5 million.

CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 Ms Laura Craig CA (SA), the interim financial director, has formally been appointed as the financial director
 with effect from 14 September 2018. The board would like to welcome her in her new role in the company.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The directors endorse and accept full responsibility for the application of the principles necessary to ensure that
effective corporate governance is practiced consistently throughout the group. Brikor is committed to the principles
of openness, integrity and accountability to all stakeholders and the board of directors accepts its duty to ensure that
the principles as set out in the King Report of Corporate Governance for South Africa – 2016 (King lV) are
implemented on an apply or explain basis.

With the board changes indicated above, the Brikor board now comprises seven directors of whom two are
executive, one is a non-executive and four are independent non-executives.

PROSPECTS

As the group continuously and consistently reduces its debts with the South African Revenue Services and related
parties in order to cement the statement of financial position into a secure solvent and liquid position, the Brikor
board is looking for future investment opportunities to grow the group's foothold in the relevant markets it trades in.

 *Other segment relates to non-segment-specific cash and liabilities as detailed below.

Factors used to identify segments are based on geographical location and divisional structuring; this is also how the
group reports financial results to the chief operating decision-maker on a monthly basis.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the group’s accounting policies described in note
1. Segment profit represents the profit earned by each segment without allocation of finance costs and income tax
expense. This is the measure reported to the chief operating decision-maker for the purposes of assessment of
segment performance.

Reportable segment revenue relates to external customers only. Revenue is derived solely from South African
customers.

Other assets and liabilities

For the purposes of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between segments:

    •   all assets are allocated to reportable segments other than assets held-for-sale, tax assets, deferred tax assets
        and cash and cash equivalents.
    •   all liabilities are allocated to reportable segments other than general borrowings, shareholders’ loans,
        deferred taxation, taxation, bank overdraft and liabilities held-for-sale.

 NOTES TO THE ABRIDGED UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL
 STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 AUGUST 2018

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The abridged unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements for interim reports and the requirements of the Companies
Act of South Africa. The Listings Requirements require interim 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 Financial Reporting.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the abridged unaudited condensed consolidated interim
financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those applied for the previous consolidated annual
financial statements.

The results are presented in Rand rounded to the nearest thousand (R'000), unless otherwise indicated.
2. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES CLASSIFIED AS HELD-FOR-SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATION

Assets and liabilities classified as held-for-sale:

On 20 September 2016 and 17 November 2016 respectively, Brikor committed to sell two of its properties, namely
the Rayton property situated at Portion 31 of Witfontein NO.510 - JR District Bronkhorstspruit "Rayton" and the Nigel
Schist property situated at Portion 58 of the Farm Vrisgewaag 510IR "Schist".

Rayton property:

The impairment reversal has been applied to increase the carrying value of the property. The offer received for
Rayton amounting to R2,2 million, which is inclusive of the transfer of the Mining Right No GP30/5/1/2/2(237)MRC
and the related environmental restoration obligation, has been accepted and signed by the company’s directors on
17 April 2017.

Conditions precedent to the sale:

 -   The sale is subject to written consent in terms of section (11)1 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources
     Development Act No. 28 of 2002 (“the act”) is granted by the minister in respect of the proposed cession and
     transfer of the mining right to the purchaser.
 -   The purchaser shall be responsible for making the application as required in terms of Section 11 of the Act with
     the assistance of the company in terms of documentation required and general co-operation.
 -   Should the Section 11 transfer not be granted within 18 (eighteen) months from date of signature (11 April
     2017) either party may be entitled, in writing, to cancel the agreement, unless the application is imminent, in
     which case extension may be applied for by either party for a period of up to 60 (sixty) days or longer as agreed
     upon.
 -   Costs incurred in terms of this agreement shall be borne by the purchaser.

Schist property:

The company has received several offers in terms of the Schist property of which the latest offer of R0,1 million is
inclusive of the transfer of the environmental obligation of R0,7 million and removal of alien vegetation estimated at
R0,2 million. The Board of directors has signed a resolution dated 28 September 2018 to dispose of this property
and the company is in the process of finalising the terms of agreement with the potential buyer.

Impairment reversal relating to the assets held-for-sale:

The impairment reversal was recognised in order to adjust the carrying value of the Rayton Property at the relevant
reporting dates to its fair value less cost to sell (August 2018: R0,08 million impairment reversal, August 2017: R0,06
million impairment reversal).

Measurement of fair values:

The fair value of the non-current assets held-for-sale was obtained with reference to purchase offers received from
third parties for the respective properties.

Fair value hierarchy:

The non-recurring fair value of the assets and liabilities held-for-sale of R2,2 million and R0,1 million respectively,
have been classified as a level 2 fair value (refer to note 10).
Cumulative income or (expenses) included in profit/(loss) and other comprehensive income:

Discontinued operation classified as held-for-sale:

Donkerhoek Quarries:

During the 2018 financial reporting period, the board was approached with the possibility that a potential buyer may
exist for the Donkerhoek business. During July 2017, the board mandated Exchange Sponsors, the current
designated advisors of Brikor, to broker the transaction, thereby initiating an active programme to find a potential
buyer and demonstrating management's commitment to sell the Donkerhoek business.

Subsequently, potential buyers were requested to present their offers and on 15 August 2017 the most favourable
offer in terms of quantitative and qualitative considerations, amounting to R50,2 million, was accepted.

The final agreement for the sale of the Donkerhoek business was signed on 27 October 2017 with conditions
precedent, including shareholder approval, subsequent to the release of the required category 1 circular. The
category 1 circular was posted and notice of the general meeting was issued on SENS on 14 March 2018. The
general meeting in terms of the disposal was held on 17 April 2018, during which the disposal of the division was
approved by a quorum of shareholders present.

The Donkerhoek business was finally sold for proceeds amounting to R44,8 million with liabilities amounting to R6,0
million being taken over by the buyer.

The fair value of the Donkerhoek division has been classified as a level 2 fair value. The market comparison
technique was used for the fair value of the Donkerhoek business.
The following table summarises the assets and liabilities of the Donkerhoek business that were sold during

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

  Management is not aware of any material events, other than as outlined below, which occurred subsequent to 31
  August 2018 which need adjustment or disclosure.

  Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcement dated 8 August 2018 and the various subsequent
  renewal of cautionary announcements, where they were advised that Brikor has entered into negotiations which
  if successfully concluded may effect on the price of the securities.

6. GOING CONCERN

   The directors have prepared their budgets and cash flow forecasts for the year ahead based on reasonable and
   supportable assumptions.

   The cash flow forecasts and current management results indicate that the company and its subsidiaries will operate
   as going concerns for the foreseeable future.

7. OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

   On 16 May 2018 the auditors reported reportable irregularities to the Independent Regulatory Board of Auditors in
   respect on non-compliance with the Income Tax Act, No 58 of 1962 and the Companies Act, No 71 of 2008 of
   South Africa. The particulars of the reportable irregularities relate to the following instances, which resulted in
   penalties and interest being charged to the group:

   •    Non-submission of annual tax returns, as required by the Income Tax Act, No 58 of 1962; and

   •    Non-compliance with Section 30 of the Companies Act of South Africa in terms of preparing and approving
        of annual financial statements within six months after the end of its financial year.

   The directors are aware of the above and are in the process of taking corrective steps, particularly since the
   provisional liquidation of Brikor has been lifted to ensure that the relevant non-compliances are adequately
   addressed. Full provision has been made in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
   for any related amounts due. All provisional income tax returns have been submitted and paid as at the date of
   signature of the report.

   The 28 February 2013 to 28 February 2017 individual statutory financial statements for Ilangabi Investments 12
   (Proprietary) Limited have been completed.

10. FAIR VALUE

 When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair
 values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques
 as follows:

     Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
               directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
     Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Measurement of fair values

Assets-held-for sale (Level 2):

The market comparison technique was used for determining the fair value of the assets held-for-sale. The fair value
is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost to sell
(refer note 2 for detail).
11. Restatement of Financial Results

The financial results for the period ended 31 August 2017 have been restated due to reclassification of cost
recoveries to cost of sales. This restatement was also disclosed in the Brikor Limited integrated annual report for
the period ended 28 February 2018, shareholders are requested to refer to note 32 of the integrated annual report.

During 2017, Brikor incorrectly included cost recoveries as part of revenue. These recoveries have been re-allocated
to be included as part of the cost of sales line item of the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive
income.

The effect of the restatement when applied consistently in the period ended 31 August 2017 had the following impact
on the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income:


                                                                         Previously

                                                                              R’000            R’000            R’000
