provided to shareholders to illustrate the operating performance of the Group had the Group not had to raise the R34.61 million

The condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income includes the R34.61 million IFRS2 share-based payment
expense relating to the Executive Share Option Agreements. The Board is of the view that the expense is a non-cash IFRS charge
unrelated to the actual operating performance of the Group and therefore the Normalised Results presented is a better
representation of the Group’s operating performance.
