COMMENTARY

Introduction
Trellidor Holdings Limited ("the Group") comprises the Trellidor and Taylor Group businesses.

Trellidor is the market leading manufacturer of custom-made barrier security products, distributed via a dedicated and
skilled franchise network operating throughout South Africa, Africa and the UK.

The Taylor Group business incorporates Taylor, a major manufacturer and distributor of custom-made blinds, decorative
and security shutters and NMC, an importer and distributor of cornicing and skirting products. The Taylor Group has a
strong presence in the Western and Southern Cape.

Overview
The Trellidor business produced a solid performance reflecting its strong positioning in and the defensive qualities of the
security sector despite the tough economic conditions during the period which negatively impacted consumer spending
throughout South Africa and Africa, particularly in the middle-income market. The Taylor Group however was fully exposed
to the decline in consumer disposable income.

Group revenue for the year grew 2.6% to R539.0 million (2017: R525.3 million) in these difficult trading conditions.

The Group's gross profit margin of 45.6% was lower compared to the previous year (47.7%), predominantly due to;
increased material costs, a change in sales mix (higher proportion of sales of premium product) and an under recovery of
an above inflationary increase in labour cost. Operating expenses were well managed and increased by 4% year-on-year.

Accordingly, profit after tax of R59.6 million and earnings per share of 54.4 cents for the year declined 10% and 8%
respectively.

The Group's strong cash-generating capacity was reflected in the net cash from operating activities of R68.1 million which
grew by 9.3%. As previously reported, the second tranche of the Taylor business acquisition purchase price of R30 million
was paid from cash reserves in July 2017.

During the year the Group purchased 446,535 Group shares on the open market valued at R2.6m. These shares were
cancelled after year end.

The Group has interest-bearing liabilities of R93.0 million which incurred R8.3 million of net interest for the year ended
30 June 2018. The Group's gearing is at a conservative level and its financial risk is well managed - interest cover is
9.6 times.

The results presentation will be uploaded onto the company's website during the course of the week ending 14 September 2018.

Segments
Trellidor
Revenue grew 5% to R331.6 million. The product diversification and geographic expansion strategies generated new
product and international sales growth of 23% and 12%, respectively. This is a pleasing outcome of these strategies.

Gross margin reduced to 46.8% (2017: 49.0%), due primarily to a change in sales mix and under recovery of an above
inflationary increase in labour costs.

Recurring overhead cost growth was below inflation. Operating profit before interest declined by 1.7% to R64.9 million.
Net cash from operating activities of R49.8 million grew by 12%.

Taylor Group
Revenue declined by 0.3% to R208.8 million. Taylor experienced strong shutter sales but this was offset by weaker blind
sales. NMC which accounts for 13% of Taylor Group sales was severely impacted by the slowdown in the construction
sector.

Gross margin reduced to 43.7% (2017: 45.7%) due predominantly to higher material input costs.

Overheads were negatively impacted by new product launch expenses and foreign exchange losses of R3.2 million (2017:
R0.9 million). Operating profit before interest decreased by 31.3% to R31.8 million. Net cash from operating activities of
R18.3 million grew by 1%.

Dividend
The Board of Directors has declared a final gross dividend of 16.2 cents (2017: 19.5 cents) per ordinary share. This brings
the total gross dividend for the year ended 30 June 2018 to 27.2 cents (2017: 30.0 cents).

In addition, the Group purchased on the open market and cancelled 446,535 Group shares valued at R2.6 million.

Prospects
The introduction of the new product set over the last few years and the synergistic acquisition of the Taylor Group have
diversified and grown the Group's revenue stream. These strategies have proven to be successful as indicated above and
will continue to drive strong growth in 2019. In this respect, the strategy to sell certain Taylor products through the Trellidor
distribution network will be accelerated in 2019.

New franchisees have been signed in Africa and a dedicated team focused on growing the Group's distribution in Africa
is developing new opportunities.

The Group has capacity to benefit from operational gearing generated by strategies focused on increasing sales volumes.

Operational improvements are targeted, particularly to increase gross margin. During the period capital expenditure of
R6.0 million out of a planned total R12.0 million was made in an efficiency-enhancing project, which is expected to yield
a payback period of two years. The capital expenditure includes factory expansion and new machinery. This project was
implemented in August 2018 and will start producing full benefits from January 2019.

The Group will also continue to seek synergistic acquisition opportunities.
