Audit conclusion
The Company’s auditors, BDO South Africa Inc., conducted an audit of the underlying annual financial statements for the
year ended 30 June 2020 in accordance with International Standards of Auditing and issued an unmodified audit opinion,
with a material uncertainty paragraph related to going concern. The material uncertainty relates to the fact that ELB Group
Limited signed surety over guarantees for the unconditional completion of the projects in ELB Engineering Services
Proprietary Limited. ELB Engineering Services Proprietary Limited has been placed under business rescue. In the event
that these guarantees are called upon, the Group’s going concern status may be compromised. The audit opinion also

report and annual financial statements are available on the Company’s website https://www.elb.co.za/investor-relations-
