Vunani’s performance for the year ended 29 February 2020 was significantly
affected by a decline in the performance of the commodities trading and other
investments segments. The commodities trading business encountered disruptions
at its main operating site due to community unrest during the period under
review. The disruption resulted in an 69% decrease in production when compared
to the prior period, which significantly reduced revenue and profitability. The
other investments segment was affected by significant negative fair value
adjustments to its financial assets and liabilities of R26.4 million compared to
positive fair value adjustments of R73.2 million in the prior year. As a result
of this Vunani generated total profit for the year of R59.1 million (2019: R90.3
million), while total profit attributable to equity holders of the company
amounted to R55.4 million (2019: R88.6 million).

The group's reporting segments include fund management, asset administration,
insurance, investment banking (advisory services and institutional securities
broking) and private equity (other investments and commodities trading).
