PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND AMPLIFICATION OF NOTE 11.3 PERTAINING TO THE
2017 ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Following the conclusion of the JSE’s proactive monitoring process in respect of Conduit’s Annual
Financial Statements for the 2017 financial year, shareholders are advised of the following
amendments thereto as it pertains to the Tables included in the “CFO’s Letter to Shareholders” (which
is deemed to constitute pro forma financial information) as well as to “Note 11.3 - Restatement of
Comparative Numbers”. The information below replaces the information included in the Annual
Financial Statements for the 2017 financial year.

Pro forma financial information

The adjusted information in Tables 1, 2 and 3 below is the responsibility of the Group’s Board of
Directors and is presented for illustrative purposes only. Due to the nature of this information, it may
not fairly present the Group’s financial position, changes in equity and results of operations or cash
flows. The pro forma information has been compiled in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and
the Revised Guide on Pro Forma Information by SAICA and the accounting policies of the Group as at
30 June 2017. The illustrative information has been derived from the Group’s audited financial
information and has been reported on in an independent Reporting Accountant’s assurance report
which can be found on the Group’s website at www.conduitcapital.co.za.

The pro forma information in Table 1 below is presented to demonstrate how certain contributing
items to the Group’s Statement of Changes in Equity for the 2017 financial year would have reflected
differently if:

1. the date on which the Midbrook Lane Proprietary Limited (“Midbrook”) and Snowball Wealth
   Proprietary Limited (“Snowball”) transactions became effective on 19 July 2016, i.e. the date on
   which it was agreed that the two entities would be acquired by Conduit, rather than the actual
   effective dates of 2 February 2017 and 30 March 2017, respectively; and
2. a special dividend from Anthony Richards and Associates Proprietary Limited (“ARA”) was
   accounted for on an equity accounted basis (i.e. as if the entity was reflected as an associate),
   rather than as an asset held for sale and how such change would have impacted the impairment
   of the investment in ARA.

These tables should be read in conjunction with the section a. Net asset value/shareholders’ equity on
pages 10 and 11 of the Group’s Integrated Annual Report for 2017 (“IAR”).

1 The “Our representation” column reflects what the value of the Midbrook and Snowball consideration would have been if all Conduit shares were issued on 19 July 2016 at
  245 cents each, rather than at 259 cents and 250 cents (the Conduit share prices as at the Midbrook and Snowball transactions’ effective dates of 2 February 2017 and
  30 March 2017, respectively).

2 The “Our representation” column reflects what the value of the treasury stock acquired with Midbrook and Snowball would have been if the effective date of the transactions
  were 19 July 2016, rather than 2 February 2017 and 30 March 2017, respectively.

3 The “Our representation” column reflects what the total comprehensive loss for the year would have been if the effective date of the Midbrook and Snowball transactions
  were 19 July 2016, rather than 2 February 2017 and 30 March 2017, respectively.

4 Changes in the fair value of Midbrook, Snowball and their subsidiaries between the effective dates of the transactions (2 February 2017 and 30 March 2017, respectively)
  and 30 June 2017, adjusted for changes in the fair value of treasury stock held by the entities during the period and tax. The “Our representation” column reflects what the
  changes in the fair value of Midbrook, Snowball and their subsidiaries would have been between 19 July 2016 and 30 June 2017, adjusted for changes in the fair value of
  treasury stock held by the entities during the period and tax.

5  Per note 36.3 to the AFS.

6 Per note 36.3 to the AFS. The “Our representation” column reflects the impact of the goodwill impairment being reversed on the basis that the adjustments in terms of
  items 1, 2 and 4 above would have resulted in no goodwill, i.e. no impairment would have been required.

7 Dividend received in addition to the normal dividend that ARA declares semi-annually. Included under “Dividend income” per note 35 to the AFS. The “Our representation”
  column reflects the result if the ARA excess dividend were accounted for on an equity accounted basis, i.e. it would have been excluded from income due to it having been
  set off directly against the investment in the balance sheet.

8 Per note 36.3 to the AFS. Assuming that the ARA excess dividend was set off directly against the investment in the balance sheet per item 7 above, the “Our representation”
  column reflects that the revaluation would have been reduced by the dividend amount, as the book value of the investment, before revaluation, would have been lower
  by that value.

9  Expenses identified by management as specifically incurred to foster growth initiatives in Constantia. This item will have a continuing effect.

10 Total comprehensive loss for the year less items 4 – 9 above and item 11 below.

11 Taxation per note 42 to the AFS, adjusted for Midbrook and Snowball taxation of R3.683 million included in item 2 above.

12 Due to conversion from share capital to stated capital. This item will have a continuing effect.

13 As reflected in the Annual Financial Statements for the year ending 30 June 2017.
   The pro forma information in Table 2 below is presented to provide readers of the Group’s IAR with more insight into the various components that contributed
   to the attributable loss generated during the 2017 financial year and how these numbers tie into the AFS. This table should be read in conjunction with the
   section b. Earnings on pages 11, 12 and 13 of the Group’s IAR.

Note 11.3 - Restatement of Comparative Numbers

In line with the Group’s new strategy, the Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income have been presented in a manner that
makes it less complicated to distinguish the Group’s insurance-related results from other non-insurance income and expenses. For consistency, the prior
period’s Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income are presented in a manner similar to that of the current period in order
to simplify comparative analysis.
Other income (Insurance) includes all rental income and fees received by Constantia, whereas Other income (Non-insurance) comprises fees received in other
Group entities. The restatement of income items has been effected as follows:
                                        Other income          Other income          Previously

Administration and marketing expenses (Insurance) includes all operating expenses incurred by Constantia, whereas Other expenses (Insurance) include
currency translation losses and impairments associated with operational assets that can be tied directly to Constantia. Similar expense lines have been created
for other Group entities. Other expenses and losses include non-operating impairment losses on associates, assets held for sale, joint ventures and property,
plant and equipment. The restatement of expense and loss items has been effected as follows:
