Introduction

The year ended 31 March 2019 was characterised by a challenging environment for global
financial markets in general. Global liquidity tightened significantly due to the slowdown in
global growth. Furthermore, expectations for growth have been hurt by the risk of an all-out
trade war between the US and China. Many emerging markets experienced currency
depreciation against the US Dollar, with Argentina, Turkey, Brazil and South Africa being
amongst the worst affected. After the sell down in markets during December 2018 and the
subsequent rally in the first three months of 2019, on a total return basis, major US and
European markets ended positively but emerging equity markets, as represented by the MSCI
Emerging Market Index, continued to lose ground, ending in negative territory.

Locally, the South African economy had a very difficult 2018 calendar year with markets
posting the worst returns since 2008. The twelve month period ended 31 March 2019 reflected
a slightly better position on a total return basis with the All Share Index closing up 5%.

Ongoing Segmental headline earnings per share decreased by 7% to 152.9 cents due to the
significant drop in performance fees earned in Stenham and Peregrine Capital as well as
earnings from Java Capital in the year under review. Despite this decrease in performance
fees, annuity earnings, comprising 92% of total ongoing earnings, increased by 10% in Rand
terms year on year. Please refer to the Segmental section of this announcement for the
definition of ongoing Segmental earnings.

Financial results

IFRS

Earnings and Headline earnings

Basic earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders amounted to R410 million (2018: R504 million) 
with basic earnings per ordinary share amounting to 197.2 cents per share (2018: 238.5 cents 
per share). Headline earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders amounted to
R439 million (2018: R504 million) with headline earnings per ordinary share amounting to
210.8 cents per share (2018: 238.5 cents per share).

The difference of R29 million between basic earnings and headline earnings stems from an
impairment of R84 million (after non-controlling interest) on the equity accounted investment
in Java Capital and a capital loss of R2 million (after non-controlling interest) on the disposal
of the equity accounted investment in Green Oak Capital, partially offset by a capital gain of
R57 million (after taxation and non-controlling interest) on the disposal of the Broking &
Structuring business.

Consistent with the prior year, in addition to providing the above IFRS earnings, Segmental
earnings (referred to in the Introduction) are disclosed in more detail below. It needs to be
noted that there are differences between IFRS and Segmental earnings. Annexures disclosing
IFRS and Segmental earnings and the reconciliation between them are available on the
Group's website http://www.peregrine.co.za.

Segmental

Continuing operations

Core operating revenue grew by 4% to R1.5 billion, whilst performance fee related income
decreased by 65% to R94 million, resulting in total operating revenue reducing by 4% to R1.6 billion 
(2018: R1.7 billion). Investment and other income decreased by 86% to R15 million due
to the transfer of the Group's proprietary assets to Zarclear Holdings Limited (previously
Sandown Capital Limited), which shares were unbundled to Peregrine shareholders at the
beginning of the second half of the 2018 financial year.

Operating expenses were well contained, decreasing by 5% to R1.2 billion (2018: R1.3 billion)
due to cost containment initiatives across the Group and net interest income increased five
fold to R40 million (2018: R8 million). Income from equity accounted investees dropped by
57% to R42 million (2018: R97 million), the contributing factor being Java Capital's reduced earnings.

Profit before tax and capital items decreased by 18% to R548 million (2018: R666 million).
Excluding the contribution of the Group's investment in proprietary assets in the prior year of
R92 million, Profit before tax and capital items decreased by 5%.

Discontinued operations

Shareholders are referred to the SENS announcements informing them of the disposal of the
Broking & Structuring business effective 1 October 2018.

As a result of this disposal, the Group's interest in the after tax profit of the Broking &
Structuring business has been separately presented on the face of the statement of
comprehensive income as "Profit from discontinued operation (net of income tax)" in both the
current and prior year.

Included in the "Profit from discontinued operation" is the profit after tax before non-controlling
interests from the Broking & Structuring business of R112 million for the first six months of the
current year (2018: R166 million for 12 months) which, after tax and non-controlling interests
amounted to R77 million (2018: R116 million).

Proceeds received in terms of the disposal amounted to R910 million, which post the
settlement of inter-company loan balances with Broking & Structuring entities as well as the
Group's external revolving credit facility and the payment of the tax arising as a result of the
disposal, left a balance of R550 million available. From these net proceeds, Nala PGR SA
Holdings Proprietary Limited ("Nala") received their attributable share of R92 million and R115 million 
was utilised for share buy backs. Consequently at year end a balance of R343 million
remains available, providing the Group with the necessary flexibility in terms of future
acquisitions and/or further share buy backs.

Segmental basic earnings and Segmental headline earnings

Segmental basic earnings decreased by 19% to R432 million (2018: R535 million), with
segmental basic earnings per share decreasing by 18% to 202.8 cents (2018: 248.0 cents).
Segmental headline earnings decreased by 14% to R461 million (2018: R535 million), with
Segmental headline earnings per share decreasing by 13% to 216.6 cents (2018: 248.0 cents). 
The difference of R29 million between Segmental basic earnings and Segmental
headline earnings has been explained in the IFRS section above.

On an ongoing basis, Segmental headline earnings decreased by 8% to R326 million (2018: R354 million), 
with Segmental headline earnings per share decreasing by 7% to 152.9 cents
(2018: 164.4 cents). Ongoing Segmental headline earnings excludes in the current year, a
one-time performance fee amounting to GBP3 million (R58 million) received by Stenham arising
from the disposal of a property which formed part of the property portfolios sold to Stenprop
in 2014 ("the ad hoc performance fee") and in the prior year, the contribution from the Group's
investment in proprietary assets of R65 million. In addition, in both the current and prior years,
the Segmental headline earnings relating to the disposal of Broking & Structuring division has
also been excluded.

Divisional Segmental results

Substantial non-controlling interests exist in Peregrine Capital as well as in Peregrine SA
Holdings (being the effective 14% interest held by Nala) and, as such, management believes
that headline earnings per division (which is the basis for the commentary below) best reflects
each division's specific economic benefit to the shareholders of the Group. In addition,
reference to operating results are presented before tax and before non-controlling interests in
the financial commentary below. Management believes that this further aids in the
understanding of each division's profitability.

Wealth Management

Citadel continued to capitalise on its position as a leading private client wealth manager in
South Africa, growing core revenue by 7% to R943 million. Private client assets under
management as at 31 March 2019 amounted to R51.2 billion (2018: R43.9 billion) with gross
inflows for the current year amounting to R5.8 billion (2018: R4.9 billion). The business
remains geared towards the Rand/US Dollar rate with assets under management positively
impacted by the currency weakness experienced during the current year. The client retention
rate in the business remained strong at over 97%. Headline earnings for the current year
increased by 13% to R234 million (2018: R207 million) driven by strong annuity earnings
growth, continued effective cost controls, strong vertical integration initiatives relating to recent
acquisitions, healthy inflows and moderate performance fees earned off the back of good fund performance.

Stenham

In Rand terms, headline earnings increased by 36% to R126 million (2018: R111 million).
Excluding the ad hoc performance fee in the current year as well as the contribution of the
division's investment in proprietary assets in the prior year, headline earnings from ongoing
businesses decreased by 27% to R68 million (2018: R92 million).

Stenham Asset Management's headline earnings decreased by 33% to R50 million (2018: R74 million) 
as a result of the significant decrease in performance fees due to fund
performance that was affected by the drop in markets in the final quarter of 2018.
Notwithstanding the difficult trading conditions, margin pressures have abated somewhat and
total assets under management and advice increased to $4.0 billion (2018: $3.7 billion), with
net subscriptions materialising during the current year. Operating costs have remained well
contained due to ongoing cost saving initiatives.

Stenham Trustees, which includes the Bellerive joint venture, grew revenue primarily as a
result of an increase in fees earned off the back of increased activity. In an ever increasing
regulatory and servicing cost environment, operating costs remain under pressure. Headline
earnings increased by 6% to R37 million (2018: R35 million).

Asset Management

Whilst the Group's Asset Management division comprises a number of fund management
businesses, Peregrine Capital, the oldest hedge fund manager in South Africa, is the dominant
contributor to earnings. Headline earnings for the division decreased to R35 million (2018: R68 million).
Peregrine Capital's asset base reduced to R6.8 billion at 31 March 2019 (2018: R7.4 billion) 
largely as a result of industry wide redemptions out of hedge funds, despite there
being certain large institutional inflows into Peregrine Capital's funds during the year. Due in
the main to the significant performance deficits brought forward from the final quarter of the
previous financial year, minimal performance fees were earned during this financial year,
notwithstanding investment performance being substantially better than the prior year. The
funds performed well during the year with outperformance against the SWIX of around 10%
in the major mandates. Long-term performance remains exceptional and industry leading, with
5% - 10% outperformance per annum of unit trusts with similar risk profiles over 5 and 10 year periods.

Advisory

Java Capital's attributable earnings for the year decreased over that of the prior year by 60%
to R15 million (2018: R38 million) driven by significantly reduced deal flow in both the general
corporate finance arena as well as in equity capital markets during the year. Given current
market conditions in the listed property sector as well as the subdued level of activity in the
equity market as a whole, management believe that an impairment of R100 million before non-
controlling interests is necessary in the current year in order to reflect the Group's estimated
recoverable amount in its equity accounted investment. Java Capital is exploring opportunities
to expand its brand into different areas and is tailoring its cost base to take account of the
current market environment.

Group Head Office

At an attributable level, costs net of recoveries and interest income decreased to R26 million
(2018: R50 million). Contributing to this decrease is the interest earned on the disposal
proceeds relating to the Broking & Structuring business.

Issued share capital

Shares in issue at 31 March 2019 amount to 220.467 million and net of 17.286 million treasury
shares amounted to 203.181 million. Treasury shares are inclusive of 6.1 million shares which
were purchased to cover obligations in terms of the Citadel LTI schemes and which carry
participatory rights. The weighted average number of shares in issue amounted to 208.197 million.

During the year under review, in terms of Peregrine's general authority to repurchase shares,
6.300 million shares were repurchased with available excess cash, of which 556 748 were
cancelled with effect from 10 October 2018 and 5.042 million with effect from 15 January 2019.

Dividend

In line with the stated dividend pay-out ratio of 80%-90% of Segmental headline earnings per
share, the directors have resolved to declare a final cash dividend of 100.00 cents per share
for the financial year ended 31 March 2019. This dividend, together with the interim dividend
of 85.00 cents per share (paid in February 2019), amounts to 100% of the attributable six
month earnings from the disposed Broking & Structuring division, 100% of the ad hoc
performance fee and 80% of ongoing Segmental headline earnings per share for the year (in
aggregate, 85% of total Segmental headline earnings).

Last date to trade cum dividend                       Tuesday, 30 July 2019

   of this announcement; and
6. Peregrine's tax reference number is 9181924847.

Shares may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday, 31 July 2019 and

Directorate

On 7 March 2019, it was announced that Mandy Yachad would resign as an Executive Director
of Peregrine effective 31 March 2019, and that Andrew Moller would be appointed as an
Executive Director of Peregrine effective 1 April 2019.

At the upcoming annual general meeting of shareholders to be held during the course of
September 2019, in terms of the Company's memorandum of incorporation, Clive Beaver and
Stefaan Sithole are due to retire from office. Clive Beaver has indicated that he will not offer
himself for re-election. Having joined the Peregrine board in January 2005, Clive has served
on the Group's Audit Committee for 14 years and has chaired the Remuneration Committee
since 2014. We would like to sincerely thank Clive for his meaningful contribution to the Group
over the last 14 years.

Conclusion

These results have been achieved against a backdrop of challenging operating conditions
locally, including a weak economy and subdued market sentiment, as well as muted returns
on both local and international equity markets. Despite these conditions, the continuing focus
on growing annuity revenue streams is reaping rewards and will continue to be a major focus
for the Group going forward.

As advised to shareholders, the dividend payout ratio has been meaningfully increased now
that the Group's capital intensive business has been disposed of and it is the continued
intention of the Group to return to shareholders a substantial portion of earnings by way of
dividends going forward.

(1)   Total revenue includes annuity revenue of R1.5 billion (2018: R1.4 billion) and performance fee related revenue of R94 million 
      (2018: R273 million).
(2)   Represents 50% of profit after taxation of the equity accounted investment. This investment was impaired by R100 million during the current 
      financial  year and is reflected as "Capital items" on the face of the Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income. For additional
      information relating to the impairment assessment please refer to the Critical accounting treatment and estimates / judgements paragraph in 
      the Notes & Compliance section.
(3)   The reconciling items of R22 million (2018: R31 million) relate to the following adjustments:
(3.1) Accounting for the earnings attributable to participating treasury shares of R12 million (2018: R9 million);
(3.2) The difference in classification of Citadel's long term 2015 deferred remuneration scheme 2 for IFRS purposes and that applied for purposes of 
      providing information to the Chief Operating Decision Makers of R10 million (2018: R22 million).
      The Citadel 2015 deferred remuneration scheme 2 was initiated during the 2016 financial year, the terms of which provide the participants with 
      the right to participate in an asset pool, partly comprising of Peregrine Holdings Limited shares, which is settled through an attribution of 
      profits over the service period (with the first application thereof being in the March 2017 financial year). The IFRS effects arise from the 
      obligation being initially measured using the projected unit method in the year of inception; and
(3.3) The non-reportable segment arose in terms of IFRS 10 whereby certain of the Group's proprietary hedge fund investments were required to be 
      consolidated in the comparative period. The consolidated proprietary hedge fund investments did not meet the quantitative thresholds for 
      determining reportable segments in 2018 and were grouped together as a non-reportable segment. There was no impact on equity, or profit or loss 
      in the comparative period.

Notes & Compliance

The reviewed condensed consolidated provisional financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 March 2019 comprise the company 
and its subsidiaries ("the Group") results and the Group's interests in equity accounted investees.

Basis of preparation

The reviewed condensed consolidated provisional financial statements are prepared in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements for provisional
reports and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. The JSE Listings Requirements require provisional reports to be prepared on a 
consolidated basis 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 Reporting Pronouncements 
as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the information required by IAS 34 - Interim 
Financial Reporting.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the reviewed condensed consolidated provisional financial statements are in terms of IFRS and 
are consistent with those applied in the previous consolidated annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2018 other than 
for IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (new and revised Standards and Interpretations) that have 
been adopted in the reviewed condensed consolidated provisional financial statements. The former was adopted retrospectively, the impact of which 
is detailed below whilst the latter had no significant impact on the amounts reported or disclosed in the reviewed condensed consolidated 
provisional financial statements.

In preparing the reviewed condensed consolidated provisional financial statements management made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect 
the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these 
estimates. Other than the critical accounting estimates and judgements outlined below, the significant judgements made by management in applying the 
Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the audited consolidated financial 
statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2018.

The Group's results were prepared under the supervision of C Coward CA (SA), the Group Chief Financial Officer.

Review Report

These reviewed condensed consolidated provisional financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019 have been reviewed by Deloitte & Touche, 
who expressed an unmodified review conclusion thereon. A copy of the auditor's review report is available for inspection at the company's registered
office together with the reviewed condensed consolidated provisional financial statements identified in the auditor's review report.

The auditor's review report does not necessarily report on all of the information contained in the announcement. Shareholders are therefore advised 
that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the auditor's review engagement they should obtain a copy of the auditor's review 
report together with the accompanying financial information from the issuer's registered office.

Any prospects detailed in this announcement have not been reviewed or reported on by the auditors.

Discontinued operations

The disposal of the Broking & Structuring business (refer to Disposal paragraph below) during the current year resulted in the profit after tax of 
the business being presented as a separate line item on the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income in terms of IFRS 5 - Non-current 
Assets Held For Sale and Discontinued Operations. The comparative condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income and segmental analysis 
have been re-presented to reflect the Broking & Structuring business as a discontinued operation.

In addition the Group invested seed capital of R80 million into the Flexible Opportunity Fund on 1 March 2019, with a withdrawal date, as agreed 
between the parties, of no later than 1 March 2020. In terms of IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements the investment has to be consolidated.
Consequently, with effect from 1 March 2019, the Group consolidated the fund. However, due to the short term nature of this investment, the 
provisions of IFRS 5 - Net Asset Held For Resale applies to the disclosure of this investment.

The results of the above discontinued operations included in the Group's results for the period ended 31 March 2019, are detailed below:

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

On 1 July 2014 the Group subscribed for 50% of Java Capital (Pty) Ltd ("Java") for a total subscription price of R205 million. Java is 
accounted for as an equity accounted investee and the carrying value of the investment in Java had grown to R241 million as at
31 March 2019 (2018: R231 million). Java Capital's attributable earnings for the year decreased over that of the prior year driven 
by significantly reduced deal flows in both the general corporate finance arena as well as in equity capital markets during the year. 
Given current market conditions in the property sector as well as the level of activity in the equity market as a whole, management has 
identified the impairment indicator and assessed its investment in Java for impairment.

In performing the assessment, management have used a price earnings multiple to determine the fair value of the business to estimate the net 
realisable value. As Java is an unlisted entity, the valuation of Java required the use of management's estimates and judgement in the determination 
of the recoverable amount of the investment. In determining the recoverable amount the following estimates and judgements were applied in the price 
earnings multiple calculation:

1. Five years of historical profit after tax
2. A price earnings multiple of 6
3. An industry discount of 30%

The outcome of the impairment assessment revealed that the carrying value of the Group's investment in Java of R241 million at 31 March 2019 exceeded 
the estimated recoverable amount of R141 million by R100 million. As such, an impairment of R100 million before tax and non-controlling interest was 
recognised in the current year in profit or loss ("Capital items" on the face of the Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income). 
The deferred tax effect was not recognised as the likelihood of a future capital gain arising against which a capital loss may be offset is remote. 
The portion attributable to participating treasury shares and non-controlling interest amounted to R17 million.

Restatement of prior year financial statements

1. Adoption of IFRS 9- Financial Instruments (IFRS 9)

The Group adopted IFRS 9 for the first time in the current year. The classification of the Group's financial instruments have been reassessed 
in accordance with IFRS 9.

The outcome of the reassessment is as follows:

IAS 39 classification and measurement approach                               IFRS 9 classification and measurement approach
Loans and receivables at amortised cost                                      Debt instruments at amortised cost
Financial assets held for trade or designated at fair value through profit   Financial assets at FVTPL
or loss (FVTPL)
Available for sale - equity instruments                                      Equity instruments at Fair Value through Other
                                                                             Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)
Financial liabilities designated at FVTPL                                    Financial liabilities designated at FVTPL
Financial liabilities at amortised cost                                      Financial liabilities at amortised cost

The adoption of an expected credit loss approach for impairment had no impact on the Group due to the nature of the Group's debt instruments. 
The impact of adoption is concentrated to the treatment of Nala PGR SA Holdings Proprietary Limited's (Nala) (in which the Group has a 30% equity 
accounted interest) underlying listed equity investment which is designated at FVOCI and which is explained in more detail below.

The Group has elected to restate its financial statements for the adoption of IFRS 9.

2. Accounting treatment of non-controlling interests (NCIs)

Nala holds 20% of the ordinary shares of Peregrine SA Holdings Proprietary Limited (PSAH). Peregrine Holdings Limited holds 30% of the ordinary 
shares of Nala and thus the effective NCI percentage held in PSAH is 14%.

Both IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures are silent on the appropriate accounting 
treatment to be applied to a situation in which the Group holds an investment in an associate that in turn holds an investment in a subsidiary of 
the Group. There are two options that are considered appropriate for the accounting of NCIs in this structure: either the NCI is determined after 
considering the associates ownership of the subsidiary (the look through approach), or based on the holdings of the Group in the subsidiary only. 
The treatment of NCI in this scenario is complex and judgemental. The Group upon advice has to date consistently and appropriately applied the '
look through approach' in accounting for the allocation of profit to Nala at its effective shareholding of 14%.

As and when dividends were declared and paid by PSAH, 20% was paid to Nala and recognised as a reduction in NCI (with 80% being paid to 
Peregrine Holdings Limited). Other than an aggregate of R12.5 million declared in May 2017 by Nala to its shareholders (in order to facilitate a 
distribution to the beneficiaries of the Employee Portfolio Trust), no dividends have been declared or paid by Nala to Peregrine Holdings Limited 
(or any of its other shareholders), with all the remaining dividends received by Nala (being in aggregate R405 million) having been utilised, in 
accordance with the terms of the debt facility, to repay and partially retire Nala's external debt funding commitments. The dividend payment to 
Nala was correctly paid at the full contractual 20% as opposed to the effective 14%. The 6% differential between the shareholding and the effective 
interest is akin to an increase in Peregrine's associate interest in Nala and as a result should have been, and has subsequently been, accounted 
for as an increase in Peregrine's investment in Nala, with a corresponding increase in NCI. The Group undertook an extensive evaluation of all NCI 
treatment to identify any other potential errors in the accounting treatment of NCIs. The Group identified one other accounting treatment error 
between NCI and equity attributable to ordinary shareholders which has been incorporated into the restatement. It needs to be noted that neither of 
these prior period errors have had a material impact on earnings or headline earnings and no impact at all on dividends declared and paid to 
ordinary shareholders in any of the previous years.

Excluding Nala's investment in PSAH, Nala has incurred losses in the last three financial years, primarily arising from its investment in a listed 
equity instrument which has been designated as FVOCI under IFRS 9, the effective carrying amount of which is R11 million as at 31 March 2019.

The increase in the carrying amount of the investment in Nala as a result of the above mentioned treatment, means that the Group must recognise its 
attributable share of Nala's losses through other comprehensive income, subject to the limitation set out by IAS 28. Consequently, the Group has 
reflected their share of these losses in other comprehensive income. Nala's other income and expenses are not material to the Group.

3. Presentation of Investec Revolving Credit Facility (RCF)

In the prior year, a classification error between non-current and current liabilities occurred with regards to the RCF with Investec Bank Limited, 
whereby R253 million was incorrectly classified as non-current. In order to align to the contractual terms of the RCF the comparative period has 
been restated by reclassifying the R253 million from non-current to current liabilities. This reclassification had no other effect on the reported 
results of the Group as at 31 March 2018.

4. Quantification of above mentioned matters

These matters have been quantified, and the financial statements restated, with the financial effects of these restatements being as follows:

                                                                                                     Recognition of
