The change between the Audited AFS and the Reviewed AFS is due to the change in allocations between the equity reserves balance
and non-controlling interest balances. Post the review, it was found that the non-controlling interest balances had balances relating
to Capricorn Fund Managers SA (Pty) Ltd. This was corrected by removing the non-controlling interest balance and accounting for
the increased equity, due to Anchor increasing its stake in Capricorn Fund Managers SA (Pty) Ltd to 100% from 48.49%.
