THE EQUINOX

1MAZOR GROUP LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2009

COMPANYPROFILEMazor comprises three divisions:

• Mazor Steel which designs, supplies and erects structural

steel frames;

• Mazor Aluminium which designs, manufactures and installs

aluminium structures such as doors, windows, shopfronts,

façades and balustrades for major blue-chip construction

groups; and

• Glass which distributes and manufactures laminated,

toughened safety glass and processed glass.

Notably Mazor Aluminium, capitalising on horizontal integration

opportunities in the group through recent acquisitions, leverages

product from the Glass division and is South Africa’s leading

specialist in the technique of glass façade cladding. Based in the

Western Cape, Mazor targeted growth markets in other regions

across the country, giving impetus to its strategy of geographical

expansion. Initial indications of trading in these new target

regions including Durban and Port Elizabeth are promising. Most

recently Mazor expanded the Glass division into Gauteng and

after initial efforts prospects look positive.

Mazor has to date contributed to many of the Western Cape’s

most prestigious construction projects including the 2010 Green

Point Stadium, the Cape Town International Airport expansion,

Convention Towers, the Westin Grand Hotel, the South African

Large Telescope (‘SALT’) and major shopping centres.

Mazor’s vision is simply tobe sure we have reason tobe proud.We are proud of our 28-year heritage that has seen the group

transition from a family business to a company successfully listed

first on AltX in 2007, and in 2008 on the Main Board of the JSE.

We are proud of our client base which is stable, loyal and

enduring. We are proud to service our clients because we are

confident of the quality of our service and product and we are

proud of our reputation that affirms this. We are proud of our

team, because their commitment and adherence to the highest

standards of quality and strictest standards of ethics mirrors the

values that are the bedrock of our culture since inception. We are

proud that so many stakeholders choose to continue

participating in the group and we are very proud to keep

delivering returns.

CONVENTION TOWERS2

MAZOR GROUP LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2009

IntroductionThe year under review saw Mazor maintain its growth trajectoryand continue to achieve a number of strategic milestones. Thegroup posted a strong performance with significant year-on-yeargrowth, all the more of an achievement in the tough economicenvironment. In July 2008 the company moved from AltX to theMain Board of the JSE underscoring our intention to compete withlike groups and to advance growth in the appropriate environment.In light of investor reaction to more risk-invested AltX shares in thecurrent weak markets, we believe the timing of the move hasproved beneficial for Mazor.

At the publication of interim results in November 2008 we spoke toour strategy of diversifying into related niche markets such asglass. To this end the acquisition of Compass Glass in July 2008complemented the smaller acquisition in March 2008 ofIndependent Glass. Integration of these acquisitions, andsuccessful expansion and roll-out as intended, has translated intoincreased market share in the high-growth glass sector especiallyin the Cape Peninsula.

Also in line with strategy Mazor continued to secure the morestable large-scale private sector projects such as high-risebuildings, hotels and similar major works, translating into solidoperating margins and profitability. With the group supplying majorconstruction blue-chips, we continued to benefit during the yearfrom the increasing use of steel and glass in construction in linewith their more ‘green’ and efficient results.

3MAZOR GROUP LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2009

The marketPrivate sector investment in infrastructure has been adversely

affected by the global financial crisis, with general uncertainty

delaying the start of contract implementation on a number of

major projects. However, on the upside the impact of the

worldwide credit crunch on stock markets has seen a growing

resurgence in reinvestment in property as an asset class, which

should boost development in the private commercial and

industrial sectors.

Further, Africa continues to pose promising growth prospects.

AcquisitionEffective 1 July 2008 Mazor acquired Compass Glass – a

distributor and manufacturer of laminated and toughened safety

glass and double-glazed units. The acquisition strategically

progressed our newly-established glass division to generate

bottom line growth for the group through high margin product

diversification. The maximum purchase consideration of

R50 million was payable in a combination of cash and shares.

Operational reviewMazor Steel and Mazor Aluminium

The core of our business, these two divisions delivered a robust

performance and benefited from the more efficient utilisation of

available capacity – in Steel through geographical expansion and

in Aluminium through securing larger-scale projects.

Glass division

A general trend in the industry to more façade-oriented

construction, using greater amounts of glass and glass cladding,

helped boost the division’s trading performance.

Compass Glass’ operations were successfully expanded across

the Cape Peninsula enabling Mazor to acquire substantial

market share. Available capacity was utilised in this way and

identified candidates were trained into the relevant roles.

During the year Independent Glass expanded into Gauteng.

After initial teething problems in the new operation the

appropriate personnel were brought in and the outlook has since

improved substantially. With Gauteng relatively less affected than

other regions by the challenging economy and with higher

growth rates projected in the province, prospects for this

operation are now looking promising.

To date the group has explored supply of only the architectural

and construction markets. In light of the strong growth forecasts

for glass Mazor now intends to access previously untapped

markets including the industrial, furniture and motor sectors.

While the motor industry has recently experienced a decline off

an exceptionally high base, this should plateau and then regain

momentum, making entry into the market at the bottom of the

cycle an attractive opportunity.

Key financial achievementsRevenue increased by 66.9% to R295.6 million from

R177.1 million for the previous year. Net profit grew 112% to

R63.6 million from R30 million, generating headline earnings per

share of 52.1 cents compared to the previous year’s HEPS of

28.5 cents. Mazor Steel and Mazor Aluminium both boosted

their contribution to group revenue and profitability, by 60.1%

and 72.5%, and 24.6% and 25.7%, respectively. As a start-up

with no comparative operations in the previous year, the Glass

division performed admirably to post revenue of R41.4 million.

The group achieved lower operating margins due to the start-up

of the glass businesses. These margins are expected to improve

in the coming year.

DividendIn light of Mazor’s performance and in accordance with strategy,

the board has declared a final dividend for the year of 17.5 cents

per share (2008: Nil). The dividend is subject to shareholder

approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. It is the

policy of the board to consider a dividend annually.

Share buy-backFollowing the repurchase as announced on 23 February 2009,

further repurchases were made during February 2009. Mazor

has repurchased a total of 11 760 226 ordinary shares, or 9.6%

of the issued share capital, for a total consideration of

R16.9 million. The shares were repurchased by a subsidiary of

the company and are being held as treasury stock. The decision

in this regard was based on a simple feasibility: returns

calculation in light of the current interest rate environment, and

was considered a strategic investment for the company.

BEETotal black shareholding in the group amounts to 14.7%, held by

BEE partner Cloudberry Investments. Mazor has been

independently assessed as a Level 6 contributor to BBBEE. A

strategic objective of the group is to address our BBBEE

platform to advance in all areas of the scorecard, including

ownership at group level and improvement of black

representation from junior management upwards.

ProspectsDespite a soft economic outlook for the country at the moment,

the board of Mazor is confident of another solid performance in

Page 6: Annual Report 2009 - Mazor · Annual Financial Statements 13 Shareholder Analysis 46 Shareholders’ Diary 47. ... We welcome to the group our new employees following the acquisitions

4MAZOR GROUP LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2009

the year ahead to February 2010. Based on the order book in

hand the first six months of the current financial year are

expected to be strong with outlook for the remainder of the year

slightly clouded by global economic uncertainty. However, it is

anticipated that the successive interest rate cuts in early 2009

should boost private sector spending, with new and delayed

projects expected to roll out around June 2010.

Glass is anticipated to contribute positively with significant

growth forecast over the next 36 months. Overall Mazor will

continue targeting high return-yielding projects.

Being cash flush we will consider applying our substantial cash

holdings to further acquisitions in the year ahead, either for

geographic expansion or additional product diversification. We

will continue looking at other markets outside our traditional field

of fabricating building exteriors. Energy remains an interesting

sector due to the design of buildings at present that is more

energy and therefore cost-efficient and advances in energy

optimisation. We intend to look cross-border too, specifically to

those African countries that represent a favourable risk:return

scenario.

We will maintain a strict overheads structure to mitigate against

a potential negative impact of the current downturn, and will

remain highly selective in the contracts we pursue to help

sustain operating margins. Our collections processes are well

honed as evidenced in our 27-year track record of no bad debts.

We will ensure that attention is continually paid to debtors’ days

in maintaining this record. Our efforts during the year to improve

efficiencies and plant and equipment have started to yield

benefit, and we will continue along this path in the year ahead

for smoother implementation of contracts and higher

productivity.

As a group we face the challenge of establishing a competent

and well-staffed middle management team to bolster existing

resources. Our efforts in this regard have already progressed

with the appointment of good candidates who are being trained

and upskilled. The skills shortage at this level industry-wide still

poses a challenge which we are working to overcome.

ThanksWe welcome to the group our new employees following the

acquisitions and expansion, and thank management and our

entire team for their hard work during the year. Thanks too to our

fellow directors for their advice and input, and importantly to our

customers and shareholders for their critical support.

and material misstatement while complying with applicablestatutory laws and regulations.

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any systemof internal control, including the possibility of human error andthe circumvention or overriding of controls. The system istherefore designed to manage rather than eliminate risk of failureand opportunity risk.

are responsible for both its accuracy and its consistency with the

financial statements.

The directors acknowledge that they are ultimately responsible for

the system of internal financial control established by the group

and place considerable importance on maintaining a strong

control environment. To enable directors to meet these

responsibilities, the board sets standards for internal control aimed

at reducing the risk of error or loss in a cost-effective manner. The

standards include effective accounting procedures and adequate

segregation of duties to ensure an acceptable level of risk. These

controls are monitored throughout the group and all employees

are required to maintain the highest ethical standards in ensuring

the group’s business is conducted in a manner that in all

reasonable circumstances is above reproach. Whilst operating

risk cannot be fully eliminated, the group endeavours to minimise

I, Liat Mazor, company secretary of Mazor Group Limited, certify

that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, all returns required

of a public company have, in respect of the year ended

and that all such returns are true, correct and up to date.

it by ensuring that appropriate infrastructure, controls, systems

and ethical behaviour are applied and managed within

predetermined procedures and constraints.

The directors are of the opinion that the system of internal

control provides reasonable assurance that the financial records

may be relied on for the preparation of the financial statements.

However, any system of internal control can provide only

reasonable, and not absolute, assurance against material

misstatement or loss.

Approval of the group andcompany annual financialstatementsThe annual financial statements of the group and the company

for the year ended 28 February 2009, were approved by the

14MAZOR GROUP LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2009

We have audited the group annual financial statements and

annual financial statements of Mazor Group Limited, which

comprise the consolidated and separate balance sheets as at

28 February 2009, and the consolidated and separate income

statements, the consolidated and separate statements of

changes in equity and consolidated and separate cash flow

statements for the year then ended, and a summary of significant

accounting policies and other explanatory notes, and the

directors’ report, as set out on pages 15 to 45.

Directors’ responsibility forthe financial statements The company’s directors are responsible for the preparation and

fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with

International Financial Reporting Standards, and in the manner

required by the Companies Act of South Africa. This

responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining

internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation

of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,

whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate

accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are

reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial

statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in

accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those

standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and

plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance

whether the financial statements are free from material

misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit

evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial

statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s

judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material

misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud

or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers

internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair

presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for

the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the

entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the

appropriateness of accounting policies used and the

reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management,

as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial

statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient

and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all

material respects, the consolidated and separate financial

position of Mazor Group Limited as at 28 February 2009, and its

consolidated and separate financial performance and

consolidated and separate cash flows for the year then ended in

accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards,

and in the manner required by the Companies Act of

South Africa.

15MAZOR GROUP LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2009

The directors have pleasure in submitting their report and the

annual financial statements of the company and the group for

the year ended 28 February 2009.

Nature of businessThe company listed on the AltX Board of the JSE Limited (JSE) in

November 2007. On 14 July 2008, the company moved to the

‘Construction and Materials’ sector of the Main Board of the

JSE. The company is the holding company of a number of

subsidiary companies principally engaged in construction

activities and glass benefication in the Republic of South Africa.

Group resultsGross revenue increased by R118.5 million to R295.6 million

(2008: R177.1 million), generating an operating profit of

R74.8 million (2008: R63.4 million) which represents an increase

of R11.4 million over the previous year. Revenue and operating

profit were 54.8% and 18.2% higher respectively than forecast in

the prelisting prospectus. Headline earnings for the year

amounted to R63.6 million (2008: R30.2 million), an increase of

R33.4 million. Headline earnings increased by 18% over the

forecast in the prospectus. The consolidated income statement

is set out on page 19.

Interest in subsidiariesDetails of subsidiary companies are reflected on page 44.

With effect from 1 July 2008, the group acquired 100% of the

issued share capital of Compass Glass (Pty) Ltd. The results of

Compass Glass (Pty) Ltd have been consolidated from that date.

The aggregate net profits for the year of the subsidiaries of the

group amounted to R60.8 million. This includes a net loss

incurred by Early Glass (Pty) Ltd of R4.26 million for the year. No

losses were incurred by other subsidiaries in the current or prior

year.

The loss in Early Glass is predominantly due to the costs incurred

in establishing a presence and seizing market share in the glass

industry together with the costs of geographical expansion

through the opening of a new plant in Gauteng. Early Glass is

expected to be profitable in the year ahead.

Borrowing powersThe articles of association place no restriction on the directors’

borrowing powers.

Share capitalFull details of the authorised, issued and unissued share capital

of the company at 28 February 2009 are set out in note 22 to the

financial statements.

347 222 shares were issued to Mr SP Simons on 30 July 2008 at

R2.88 per share as part of the cost of the Compass Glass (Pty)

Ltd acquisition.

The unissued ordinary shares are under the control of the

directors, subject to the regulations of the JSE, until the next

Annual General Meeting. Shareholders, therefore, will be asked

to consider an ordinary resolution at this Annual General Meeting

placing under the control of the directors the unissued ordinary

shares.

Share incentive schemesMazor Group Limited has two share incentive schemes namely

the Mazor Group Limited Share Incentive Scheme and the Mazor

Group Limited BEE Share Incentive Scheme. Employees are

eligible to participate in the schemes only if and to the extent that

offers are made to them or options are granted to them.

No share options have been issued to date but offers have been

accepted for 372 875 shares. These shares can be released

from the scheme within one to four years.

Share incentive schemes are consolidated for the purposes of

the group annual financial statements.

AcquisitionsIn line with one of the group’s listing strategies of diversifying its

product range, the group acquired, through a subsidiary, Early

Glass (Pty) Ltd, the businesses of Independent Glass CC and

Independent Glass George CC with effect from 3 March 2008. In

June 2008, the operations of Early Glass were expanded with

the opening of a division in Gauteng.

In July 2008, in order to further expand Mazor’s newly-developed

glass division, the group acquired the entire issued share capital

of and the claims against Compass Glass (Pty) Ltd for a

maximum purchase consideration of R50 million payable in a

combination of cash and shares. The final purchase price paid

amounted to R35.6 million. The acquisition resulted in goodwill

amounting to R8.1 million. This figure is lower than the goodwill

figure as reflected in the interim results for the six months ended

31 August 2008 due to a contingent consideration on the

Compass Glass acquisition that did not materialise.

21MAZOR GROUP LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2009

Notes to the Annual Financial Statementsfor the year ended 28 February 2009

1 Accounting policies

Presentation of annual financial statementsThe consolidated and company financial statements have

been prepared in accordance with International Financial

Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’), the interpretations adopted by

the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’)

and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations

Committee (‘IFRIC’), and the Companies Act of

South Africa, 1973.

The financial statements have been prepared on the

historical cost basis except for specific financial assets

which are stated at fair value. Those categories to which the

fair value basis of accounting has been applied are indicated

in the individual accounting policy notes below.

The financial statements have been prepared on the going

concern basis and these accounting policies set out below

have been consistently applied throughout the group to all

the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

Basis for consolidationThe consolidated financial statements incorporate the

financial statements of the holding company and its

subsidiaries. All financial results are consolidated with similar

items on a line-by-line basis.

Intergroup transactions and balances are eliminated on

consolidation.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities in which the group has an interest of

more than half of the voting rights or the power to govern the

financial and operating policies relevant to the entity.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the acquisition date until

the disposal date or any other date where there is a change

in shareholding or control such that the entity becomes or

ceases to be classified as a subsidiary.

The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of

assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities

incurred or assumed, plus any costs directly attributable at

the date of acquisition. The excess of the cost of the

acquisition over the fair value of the group’s share of net

identifiable assets is recorded as goodwill.

Special purpose entities

The group has established special purpose entities (‘SPEs’)

for the purpose of offering shares and share options to

employees of the group. The group does not have direct or

indirect ownership of these entities. A SPE is consolidated if,

based on an evaluation of substance of its relationship with

the group and the SPE’s risks and rewards, the group

concludes that it controls the SPE.

The SPEs which are controlled by the group have been

established under the terms that impose strict limitations on

the decision-making powers of the SPEs’ trustees and

management and that result in the group receiving the

majority of the benefits related to the SPEs’ operations and

net assets.

Statements and interpretationsAt the date of authorisation of these financial statements,

the following new and amended standards or interpretations

were in issue but not yet effective.

Accounting standard/interpretationIFRS 2: Share-based payments (effective date: financial

years commencing on or after 1 January 2009)

The amendment clarifies that vesting conditions are only

performance conditions or service conditions. All other

conditions are non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting

conditions are accounted for in the same manner as market

conditions. It further clarifies that if either party can choose

not to satisfy a non-vesting condition, then the arrangement

is treated as a cancellation upon non-fulfilment of that

condition.

IFRS 3: Business combinations (effective date: financial

years commencing on or after 1 July 2009)

The revised standard is a revision of the acquisition method

(previously called the ‘purchase method’). Specifically, it

deals with the steps that should be taken when applying the

acquisition method. It also deals with the measurement of

assets and liabilities acquired at the date of acquisition, and

the measurement of any non-controlling interest and

goodwill recognised.

IAS 1: Presentation of financial statements (effective date:

financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2009)

This amendment affects the presentation of owner changes

in equity and of comprehensive income and does not impact

on the recognition, measurement and disclosure of specific

transactions as required by any other IFRSs. An entity is

required to present a ‘statement of comprehensive income’,

which replaces the income statement. All non-owner

changes in equity may be presented in either one statement

of comprehensive income or two statements (i.e. an income

statement and a statement of comprehensive income).

The expected impact of the standard is an adjustment to the

titles used in some of the financial statement components.

22MAZOR GROUP LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2009

Notes to the Annual Financial Statementsfor the year ended 28 February 2009 continued

1 Accounting policies (continued)

IAS 10: Events after the reporting period (effective date:

financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2009)

The amendment clarified that if dividends are declared

(appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of

the entity) after the reporting period but before the financial

statements are authorised for issue, the dividends may not

be recognised as a liability as no obligation exists at the

reporting date, thus clarifying that in such cases a liability

cannot be raised even if there is a constructive obligation.

IAS 23: Borrowing costs (effective date: financial years

commencing on or after 1 January 2009)

The option to immediately expense borrowing costs has

been removed. The standard now requires an entity to

capitalise borrowing costs that are directly attributable to

the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying

asset.

IAS 27: Consolidated and separate financial statements

(effective date: financial years commencing on or after

1 January 2009)

The amendment requires that investments in subsidiaries,

jointly controlled entities and associates accounted for in

accordance with IAS 39 (AC 133) Financial instruments:

Recognition and measurement in the parent’s separate

financial statements should continue to be measured in

accordance with IAS 39 (AC 133) when classified as held for

sale (or included in a disposal group classified as held for

sale), and not in accordance with IFRS 5 (AC 142) Non-

current Assets held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

IAS 32: Financial instruments: Presentation (effective

date: financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2009)

The amendment permits the classification of certain financial

instruments as equity, which would ordinarily be classified as

financial liabilities, as long as certain requirements are met.

One of the requirements is that the instruments need to be

the most subordinate class of instruments.

IAS 39: Financial instruments: Recognition and

measurement (effective date: financial years commencing

on or after 1 January 2009)

IAS 39 (AC 133) prohibits the classification of financial

instruments into or out of the fair value through profit or loss

category after initial recognition. The amendments set out a

number of changes in circumstances that are not

considered to be reclassifications for this purpose.

The amendments have also removed references to the

designation of hedging instruments at the segment level.

IFRS 8: Operating segments (effective date: financial years

commencing on or after 1 January 2009)

The new standard requires a ‘management approach’,

under which segment information is presented on the same

basis as that used for internal reporting purposes.

IAS 36: Impairment of assets (effective date: financial

years commencing on or after 1 January 2009)

The amendment requires disclosures of estimates used to

determine the recoverable amount of cash-generating units

containing goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful

lives. Specifically, the following disclosures are required

when discounted cash flows are used to estimate fair value

less costs to sell:

• the period over which management has projected cash

flows;

• the growth rate used to extrapolate cash flow

projections; and

• the discount rate(s) applied to the cash flow projections.

IFRIC 15: Agreements for the construction of real

estates (effective date: financial years commencing on or

after 1 January 2009)

IFRIC 15 specifies whether an agreement for the

construction of real estate is within the scope of IAS 11

(AC 109) Construction contracts or IAS 18 (AC 111)

Revenue, and thus impacts the related recognition of

revenue.

The group expects to adopt the above standards and

interpretations for the first time from the effective date of the

standard or interpretation.

Except for IAS 1: Presentation of financial statements, it is

unlikely that the above standards and interpretations will

have a significant impact on the results of operations or the

financial position of the group.

Significant judgements and estimatesIn preparing the annual financial statements, management is

required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the

amounts represented in the annual financial statements and

related disclosures. Use of available information and the

application of judgements is inherent in the formation of

estimates. Actual results in the future could differ from these

estimates, which may be material to the annual financial

statements.

• Accounting for construction contracts

The group makes estimates and assumptions

concerning the future, particularly as regards the

calculation of the profitability of construction contracts.

The resulting accounting estimates can, by definition,

only approximate the actual results. Estimates and

judgements are continually evaluated and are based on

historical experience and other factors, including

expectations of future events that are believed to be

reasonable under the circumstances.

• Impairment of trade receivables

Estimates are based on management’s assessment of

the likelihood of collecting receivables outstanding for

longer than 120 days.

• Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a

straight-line basis over its estimated useful life to residual

value. Residual values and useful lives are based on

management’s best estimates and actual future

outcomes may differ from these estimates.

• Loans and receivables

The group assesses its loans and receivables for

impairment at each balance sheet date. In determining

whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the

income statement, the group makes judgements as to

whether there is observable data indicating a measurable

decrease in the estimated future cash flows from the

financial asset.

Property, plant and equipmentProperty, plant and equipment is initially recognised at cost.

The cost of property, plant and equipment includes amounts

incurred initially to acquire or construct an item of property,

plant and equipment and amounts incurred subsequently to

add to or replace part of the asset. Replacement costs

include the cost of major inspections. If a replacement cost

is recognised in the carrying amount of an item of property,

plant and equipment, the carrying amount of the replaced

part is derecognised. Day-to-day servicing costs, such as

labour and consumables, are expensed in the income

statement.

Property, plant and equipment are subsequently measured

at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment

losses.

Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and

equipment to write down the cost amount, less residual

value, on a straight-line basis over their useful lives asfollows:

Item Useful lifePlant and equipment 2 to 20 yearsFurniture and fittings 3 to 5 yearsMotor vehicles 4 to 8 yearsCommunication equipment 2 yearsOffice and computer equipment 2 to 7 yearsComputer software 5 yearsTools 2 to 4 years

Where part of an item of property, plant and equipment issignificant in relation to the cost of the item, that part isdepreciated separately. The depreciation charge isrecognised as an expense in the income statement. Theresidual values, useful lives and depreciation methodsapplied to property, plant and equipment are reviewed, andadjusted if necessary, on an annual basis. These changesare accounted for as a change in estimate.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognisedupon disposal or when no economic benefit is expectedfrom its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from thederecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment isincluded in the income statement and is calculated as thedifference between the net proceeds, if any and the carryingamount of the item at the date of derecognition.

Business combinations – goodwillThe initial accounting of a business combination on the dateof acquisition follows the purchase method of accounting.The purchase method of accounting involves allocating thecost of the business combination to the fair value of theassets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilitiesassumed.

The cost of the business combination is the total of the fairvalues of all assets given, liabilities incurred and equityinstrument shares issued to acquire the business, includingdirectly attributable costs.

GoodwillGoodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of thebusiness combination over the company’s interest of the netfair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingentliabilities. Subsequently, goodwill is measured at cost lessany accumulated impairment losses.

The excess of the company’s interest in the net fair value ofthe identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities overthe cost of the business combination is immediatelyrecognised in profit or loss.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or morefrequently if events or changes in circumstances indicatethat the carrying amount may be impaired.

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments

Initial recognitionThe group classifies financial instruments, or theircomponent parts, on initial recognition as a financial asset, afinancial liability or an equity instrument in accordance withthe substance of the contractual arrangement. Financialassets and financial liabilities are recognised on the group’sbalance sheet when the group becomes party to thecontractual provisions of the instrument.

Trade receivablesTrade receivables are recognised and carried at originalinvoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectibleamounts. An allowance for estimated irrecoverable amountsis recognised in the income statement when there isobjective evidence that the asset is impaired.

Trade payablesTrade payables are recognised and carried at original invoiceamount less repayments.

Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and cashon hand and other short-term deposits with an originalmaturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalentsare short-term highly liquid investments that are readilyconvertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to aninsignificant risk of changes in value. These are initially andsubsequently recorded at fair value.

For purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cashequivalents comprise cash and cash equivalents definedabove, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Other financial liabilitiesOther financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value,which is the cash consideration received less transactioncosts. Subsequently, borrowings are measured at amortisedcost using the effective interest rate method. The amortisedcost method results in the accrual of interest in each year byapplying the effective interest rate implicit to the outstandingbalance on the borrowings. Borrowings are reduced whenrepayment is made.

Other financial assetsThese financial assets are initially at fair value plus directtransaction costs.

At subsequent reporting dates these are measured atamortised cost using the effective interest rate method, lessany impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverableamounts.

Impairment lossesThe company assesses at each balance sheet date whetherthere is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If anysuch indication exists, the company estimates therecoverable amount of the asset.

If there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, therecoverable amount is estimated for the individual asset.The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fairvalue less costs to sell and its value in use.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flowsare discounted to their present value using a pre-taxdiscount rate that reflects current market assessment of thetime value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If therecoverable amount of an asset is less than its carryingamount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to itsrecoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss.

In general, an impairment loss of assets carried at cost lessany accumulated depreciation or amortisation is recognisedimmediately in the income statement. Any impairment lossof a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease.

The company assesses at each balance sheet date whetherthere is any indication that an impairment loss recognised inprior periods for assets may no longer exist or may havedecreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverableamounts of those assets are estimated. The increasedcarrying amount of an asset attributable to a reversal of animpairment loss does not exceed the carrying amount thatwould have been determined had no impairment loss beenrecognised for the asset in prior years.

In general, a reversal of an impairment loss of assets carriedat cost less accumulated depreciation or amortisation otherthan goodwill is recognised immediately in the incomestatement. Any reversal of an impairment loss of a revaluedasset is treated as a revaluation increase.

LeasesLeases of assets where the company assumes substantiallyall the benefits and risks of ownership are classified asfinance leases. Leases of assets under which all the risksand benefits of ownership are effectively retained by thelessor are classified as operating leases.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense ona straight-line basis over the lease term. The differencebetween the amounts recognised as an expense and thecontractual payments are recognised as an operating leaseliability. This liability is not discounted.

TaxCurrent tax assets and liabilitiesCurrent tax for current and prior years is, to the extentunpaid, recognised as a tax payable in the balance sheet.

If the amount already paid in respect of current and prioryears exceeds the amount due for those years, the excess isrecognised as a tax receivable in the balance sheet.

Current tax liabilities and current tax assets are measured atthe amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxauthorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have beenenacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilitiesA deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporarydifferences, except to the extent that the deferred tax liabilityarises from the initial recognition of goodwill or the initialrecognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that at thetime of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit(accounting loss) nor taxable profit (tax loss).

A deferred tax asset is recognised for all unused tax lossesand deductible temporary differences to the extent that it isprobable that taxable profit will be available against whichthe unused tax losses and deductible temporary differencescan be utilised. A deferred tax asset is not recognised whenit arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in atransaction that at the time of the transaction, affects neitheraccounting profit (accounting loss) nor taxable profit (taxloss).

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the taxrates that are expected to apply to the year when the assetis realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (andtax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted atthe balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred taxassets and liabilities reflect the tax consequences that wouldfollow from the manner in which the group expects torecover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets andliabilities at the balance sheet date.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets in the balancesheet are reviewed annually and reduced to the extent that itis no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will beavailable to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are off-set for presentationin the balance sheet where the group has a legallyenforceable right to do so and the income taxes relate to thesame tax authority.

Tax expensesCurrent and deferred taxes are recognised as income or anexpense and included in the income statement. The currenttax payable is based on taxable profit. Taxable profit differsfrom profit reported in the income statement when there areitems of income or expense that are taxable or deductible inother years and it also excludes items that are never taxableor deductible under existing tax legislation.

Secondary taxation on companies (STC)STC is provided in respect of declared dividends, net ofdividends received or receivable, and is recognised as a partof the current taxation charge in the income statement in theyear the related dividend is declared.

InventoriesInventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisablevalue. Cost is determined on a first in, first out basis andcomprises all the costs of purchase, costs of conversionand other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to theirpresent location and condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in theordinary course of business, less estimated costs ofcompleting and the estimated cost necessary to make thesale.

When inventories are sold, the carrying amounts of theseinventories are recognised as an expense in the year inwhich the related revenue is recognised.

Construction contracts and receivablesWhere the outcome of a construction contract can beestimated reliably, contract revenue and contract costs arerecognised by reference to the stage of completion at thebalance sheet date, as measured by costs incurred at thebalance sheet date compared to the estimated total costs ofthe contract.

Variations in contract work, claims and incentive paymentsare included to the extent that they have been agreed withthe customer.

When the outcome of a construction contract cannot beestimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to theextent that contract costs incurred are recoverable.Contract costs are recognised as an expense in the year inwhich they are incurred.

When it is probable that the total contract costs will exceedtotal contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised asan expense immediately in the income statement.

Contract revenue comprises the initial amount of revenueagreed in the contract and variations in contract work,claims and incentive payments to the extent that it isprobable that they will result in revenue and they are capableof being reliably measured.

Contract costs comprise the costs that relate directly to thespecific contract, costs that are attributable to contractactivity in general and can be allocated to the contract andsuch other costs as are specifically chargeable to thecustomer under the terms of the contract.

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Employee benefitsShort-term employee benefitsThe cost of short-term employee benefits, (those payablewithin 12 months after the service is rendered, such aswages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses,and non-monetary benefits such as medical aid, cars andhousing), are recognised in the year in which the service isrendered and are not discounted.

The expected cost of accrued leave is recognised as anexpense as the employees render service that increase theirentitlement or, in the case of non-accumulating leave, whenthe absence occurs. Accrued leave is measured as theamount that the group expects to pay as a result of unusedentitlement that has accumulated to the employee at thebalance sheet date.

The expected cost of bonus payments is recognised as anexpense when there is a legal or constructive obligation tomake such payments as a result of past performance.

RevenueRevenue is recognised when it is probable that theeconomic benefits associated with the transaction will flowto the group and the amount can be measured reliably.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the considerationreceived or receivable and represents the amountsreceivable for goods and services provided in the normalcourse of business, net of trade discounts and value addedtax.

Sale of goodsRevenue from the sale of goods is recognised when thegroup has transferred to the buyer the significant risks andrewards of ownership of the goods, the group retains neithercontinuing managerial involvement to the degree usuallyassociated with ownership nor effective control over thegoods sold, the amount of revenue can be measuredreliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associatedwith the transaction will flow to the group and the costsincurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction canbe measured reliably.

Contract revenueRevenue from construction contracts is recognised inaccordance with the accounting policy for constructioncontracts and receivables.

Other incomeOther income earned by the group which is not included inrevenue, is recognised on the following basis:

– Interest income is recognised in the income statement,using the effective interest rate method.

Cost of salesWhen inventories are sold, the carrying amount of thoseinventories is recognised as an expense in the period inwhich the related revenue is recognised. The amount of anywrite-down of inventories to net realisable value and alllosses of inventories are recognised as an expense in theperiod the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of anyreversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from anincrease in net realisable value, is recognised as a reductionin the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in theperiod in which the reversal occurs.

The related cost of providing services recognised as revenuein the current period is included in cost of sales.

Contract costs comprise:

• costs that relate directly to the specific contract;

• costs that are attributable to contract activity in generaland can be allocated to the contract; and

• such other costs as are specifically chargeable to thecustomer under the terms of the contract.

Borrowing costsBorrowing costs arise on the borrowing of funds and arerecognised as an expense in the income statement, in thefinance costs line item, in the year in which they are incurred.

Translation of foreign currenciesThe functional currency of the group is South African Rands.

Foreign currency transactions are recorded, on initialrecognition, in Rands by applying to the foreign currencyamount the spot exchange rate between the Rand and theforeign currency at the date of the transaction. At eachbalance sheet date, foreign currency monetary assets andliabilities are translated using the spot exchange rate at thebalance sheet date (closing rate).

Foreign exchange gains and losses arising on the settlementof monetary items or on translating monetary items at ratesdifferent from those at which they were translated on initialrecognition during the year or in previous financialstatements are recognised in the income statement in theyear in which they arise.

Cash flows arising from transactions in a foreign currencyare recorded in Rands by applying to the foreign currencyamount the exchange rate between the Rand and theforeign currency at the date of the cash flow.

Share-based payment transactionsGoods or services received or acquired in a share-basedpayment transaction where the company settles theconsideration for those goods or services by issuing sharesor share options are classified as equity settled share-based

payments. These include share-based paymenttransactions where employees receive remuneration forservices rendered to the company in the form of shares orshare options.

Shares and share options issued as part of a blackeconomic empowerment transaction are also included inthe classification of equity-settled share-based paymenttransactions.

Goods or services received or acquired in a share-basedpayment transaction are recognised when the goods or asthe services are received. A corresponding increase inequity is recognised if the goods or services were received inan equity-settled share-based payment.

When the goods or services received or acquired in a share-based payment transaction do not qualify for recognition asassets, they are recognised as expenses in the incomestatement. Transactions with employees is recognised as asalary cost in the income statement.

For equity-settled share-based payment transactions, thegoods or services received are measured, and thecorresponding increase in equity, directly, at the fair value ofthe goods or services received, unless that fair value cannotbe estimated reliably.

If the fair value of the goods or services received cannot beestimated reliably, their value and the correspondingincrease in equity, indirectly, are measured by reference tothe fair value of the equity instruments granted.

In black economic empowerment transactions, where thefair value of the shares or share options granted exceeds thefair value of the consideration received for those shares orshare options, the transaction is measured at the fair valueof the shares or share options issued. Any differencebetween this fair value and the fair value of the identifiablegoods or services received is recognised directly in theincome statement as an expense.

If the share-based payments vest immediately the servicesreceived are recognised in full. If the share-based paymentsgranted do not vest until the employee or counterpartycompletes a specified period of service or achieves aspecified performance condition, the company accounts forthose services as they are rendered by the employee orcounterparty during the vesting period on a straight-linebasis.

Share capitalAn equity instrument is any contract that evidences aresidual interest in the assets of any entity after deducting allof its liabilities.

As regards treasury shares, the share capital is reduced forthe par value of the shares reacquired and the sharepremium is utilised, so far as allowed by law, for anyadditional consideration paid to reacquire the company’sshares. Any further consideration paid for the reacquisitionof the company’s shares is recognised against the retainedearnings in the statement of changes in equity.

DistributionsDistributions declared by the group to holders of the group’sinterests are recognised in the statement of changes andequity. Distributions that have not been declared at thebalance sheet date are not accounted for in the current year.Such distributions are disclosed where the declarationoccurred after the balance sheet date, but before thesefinancial statements are approved for issue.

Segment reportingA reportable segment is a distinguishable business orgeographical component of the group that providesproducts or services that are different from those of othersegments. Segment results, assets and liabilities includeitems directly attributable to a segment, as well as those thatcan be allocated on a reasonable basis.

Business segments are defined according to the operationalactivities undertaken by each segment. Geographicalsegments are defined according to the geographical area inwhich each segment is located.

Inter-segment transfersSegment revenue, segment expenses and segment resultsinclude transfers between business segments and betweengeographical segments. Such transfers are accounted for atarm’s length prices. These transfers are eliminated onconsolidation.

Comparative figuresComparative figures are reclassified or restated wherenecessary, to afford a more meaningful comparison ofresults as set out in the affected notes to the financialstatements.

27 Financial risk managementThe group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:– liquidity risk;– credit risk; and– market risk.

The group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimisepotential adverse effects on the company’s financial performance. This note presents information about the group’s exposure toeach of the above risks, the group’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the group’smanagement of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements.

The board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the group’s risk management framework.The board has established the audit and risk committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the group’s riskmanagement policies. The committee reports regularly to the board of directors on its activities.

Liquidity riskPrudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding throughan adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions.

The group’s risk to liquidity is a result of the funds available to cover future commitments. The group manages liquidity risk throughan ongoing review of future commitments and credit facilities. The group has maintained a cash positive position for many years.

The following table analyses the group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at thebalance sheet to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

Credit riskCredit risk is the risk of financial loss to the group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet itscontractual obligations, and arises principally from the group’s receivables from customers.

Potential credit risk comprises construction contracts, trade and other receivables and cash deposits.

Contract and trade receivables comprise a spread customer base. Management evaluates credit risk relating to customers onan ongoing basis.

When undertaking a new contract, the group evaluates both the contractor and the ultimate client. Most of the group’s customerbase consists of contractors with whom the group has been transacting for over five years. The group only transacts withcontractors who are well established in the marketplace and with ultimate clients who the group has confirmed throughcomprehensive credit checks have the financial means to meet their financial obligations.

All trade debtors are subjected to stringent credit and background checks before opening an account in order to determine thepotential customer’s credit quality and credit limits. Insurance cover is obtained for all new accounts opened above apredetermined limit set by management.

27 Financial risk management (continued)Market riskMarket risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, and supply ability and prices will affect the group’sincome. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters,while optimising the return on risk.

The group is exposed to market risk through its purchasing of goods in order to complete contracts in line with specifications.The group’s risk comprises price fluctuations and supply shortages. The group manages this risk by maintaining goodrelationships with its suppliers and constantly monitoring the changing environment and adjusting procurement levels accordingly.

The group is exposed to interest rate risk through its commitment to instalment sale agreements and other financial liabilities.The group manages its exposure through keeping favourable bank and short-term deposit balances which serve to hedgeagainst future exposure.

Sensitivity analysisPotential interest rate risk is presented by way of sensitivity analysis demonstrating the effects of movements in market interestrates. A movement of 150 basis points in the prime lending rate at 28 February 2009 would have had the following effects onprofitability for the year:

28 Share-based paymentsSale of shares to Cloudberry Investments 18 (Pty) Ltd – 13 860 000

On listing, two major shareholders sold 18 000 000 ordinary shares to CloudberryInvestments 18 (Pty) Ltd (‘Cloudberry’) at R3.23 per share

Cloudberry was identified as a strategic equity and black economic partner for the group.

The listing price of R4.00 was used to value these shares and consequently R13 860 000was recognised as a share-based payment expense in 2008.

Cloudberry is subject to a two-year lock-in period from listing date and it may not disposeof its shares during that period.

The above transaction has no impact on the cash flows or the net asset value of the group.
