I am pleased to report a relatively quiet year for our Group. Last year I said that we were well positioned to capture the most attractive growth and profit opportunities in our industry with a mining investment portfolio, new order prospecting rights, an exploration programme and minimal borrowings.

Whether you look at our strategy, business model, processes or culture, Matodzi is a very different enterprise today than it was in 1998 when Professor Wiseman Nkuhlu chaired the board. We have prepared the Group for growth and leadership in a radically different future.

On 30 October 2007 Sello Rasethaba resigned as Group Chief Executive Officer. His position has been filled in a caretaker roll by Andile Nkuhlu the current Chief Operating Officer.

Our balance sheet remains strong, and the Group is in a position to take advantage of new strategic opportunities in the resources field.

The Group has sufficient funds to meet its current obligations. The Board approved a business plan to enable the Group to position itself as “the BEE Finance House closest to Resource Operations.” This is proving more difficult than anticipated to implement, as Matodzi's association with JCI is hampering this progress.

Our strategy is to exploit our prospecting rights, with the possibility of embarking on new projects with new BEE partners. Our Group is also looking at disposing of certain other assets to generate funds necessary to facilitate the above.

The Group was intent on distributing the JCI shares it held as this would have facilitated the implementation of the strategy. However the JSE has ruled that this would amount to a share buy-back by JCI of these shares and therefore Matodzi is not in a position to proceed with the proposed distribution.

The Group is actively pursuing ways of decreasing JCI's stake in the Group in order to facilitate the Company progressing forward.

For Matodzi investors and anyone considering a relationship with our Group, either as a partner, an employee, or a shareholder, an understanding of what makes Matodzi tick is essential in gauging our prospects for the century ahead.

It is therefore useful to look at the way forward for Matodzi. The Group needs to rid itself of the shackles of JCI, which may be achieved in the following ways:

1. By procuring the disposal of the JCI shares by way of distribution or sale. The uncertainty regarding this

asset has a negative effect on the ability of Matodzi to move forward with its agreed strategy. The JSE has ruled that a distribution would constitute a buy-back of shares by JCI, which JCI is not in a position to do at this stage.

2. Matodzi actively seeking and assisting JCI with the disposal or reduction of JCI's interest in Matodzi.

The Group has made significant progress towards these aims.

As we enter this new era for resources, business and global society, I am proud of our staff for bringing us to this point, and I am grateful to you, our shareholders, for your support in our journey. I hope and trust that you are pleased with how our Group is evolving. Our board is excited by the challenge of taking this Group into its next phase of leadership and discovery.

CORPORATE GOvERNANCE REPORT

Principles of corporate governance and structures

The Board of directors affirms its commitment to the principles of openness, integrity, accountability, timeous, relevant and meaningful reporting to all stakeholders.

The Board of directors is committed to ensuring that the Group’s business is conducted in accordance with the highest standards of corporate governance. These standards are entrenched in the Group’s system of internal control by its procedures and policies governing business conduct.

The directors endorse and are of the opinion that the Group adheres to the Code of Corporate Practices and Conduct as set out in the King II Report.

The principles contained in King II are reflected in the Group’s corporate governance structures, and are reviewed from time to time to take into account organisational changes.

The Board of Directors

The Company has a unitary Board comprising one independent non-executive director, four non-executive directors, and one executive director.

All directors have the requisite knowledge, experience and ability to properly carry out their duties in meeting the requirements of the Company. All participate actively in the proceedings at meetings whether present personally or by teleconference facility. The Board is responsible for setting the direction of the Group through the establishment of strategic objectives and key policies.

The Board meets periodically, or more frequently if circumstances so require, to review matters specifically reserved for its decision, including financial results, issues of strategic direction, major acquisitions and disposals, approval of major capital expenditure, and any other matters having a material effect on the Group.

The Board has a Charter setting out its mission, role, duties and responsibilities and, in particular, important aspects concerning the following:

• the directors’ fiduciary responsibilities;

• leadership of the Board;

• induction of new directors;

• the Board’s relationship to staff and external advisors, as well as access to Company records; and

• board meetings and procedures.

The directors have a responsibility in terms of the Board Charter to become acquainted with all of their duties, as well as the issues pertaining to the operations and business of the Group, to enable them to fulfil their duties.

In terms of the Board Charter the directors are assessed annually both individually and collectively as a Board.

The Board as a whole approves the appointments of new directors on recommendation by the Nomination Committee, subject to shareholder ratification at the forthcoming annual general meeting.

In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association, all directors are subject to retirement by rotation and re-election by shareholders every three years.

The Board has established a number of committees, which are ultimately answerable to the Board, namely:

• the executive committee;

• the audit committee;

• the nomination committee; and

• the remuneration committee.

These committees operate within the defined Terms of Reference laid down by the Board. The audit, nomination and remuneration committees are each chaired by a non-executive director and consist entirely of non-executive directors.

Chairperson and Chief Operating OfficerIn terms of King II, the roles of the chief operating officer and the chairperson are separated to facilitate the smooth and efficient functioning of the Board.

Board Committees

The Board has established a number of committees to enable it to properly discharge its duties and responsibilities and to effectively manage its decision-making process.

The following reflects the composition and activities of these committees:

Executive Committee

The executive committee, comprising the executive director, and senior managers, meets periodically to monitor strategic objectives and policies through a structured approach to reporting on the basis of agreed performance criteria and for the detailed planning and implementation of such objectives.

Members of the committee contribute a diverse range of professional skills across the spectrum of the Company’s activities.

CORPORATE GOvERNANCE REPORT

Page 7: COMPANy PROFILE AND DISCLAIMER Matodzi … a caretaker roll by Andile Nkuhlu the current Chief Operating Officer. Our balance sheet remains strong, and the Group is in a position to

Audit Committee

The primary responsibility of the audit committee is to assist the Board of Matodzi in carrying out its duties relating to reviewing financial results, accounting policies, internal controls, financial reporting practices and identification of exposure to significant risks.

The audit committee evaluates the performance, independence and effectiveness of the external auditors and considers any non-audit services to determine whether or not such services substantively undermine their independence as external auditors. The audit committee discusses and reviews with the external auditors their engagement letter and the terms, scope and nature of the audit function, procedure and engagement, as well as the audit fee.

The audit committee members are Messrs S Swana (chairman) and LA Maxwell, who meet periodically, primarily to review results and any financial reports, and at any other time if required. The executive directors may attend by invitation. Subsequent to year end, the audit committee met on two occasions.

The purpose of the audit committee is to assist the Board in discharging its duties relating to the safeguarding of assets, the operation of adequate systems, financial control and reporting processes, and the preparation of accurate financial reports and financial statements in compliance with all applicable legal requirements and accounting standards. The audit committee also provides a forum for discussing business risk and control issues, for developing relevant recommendations for consideration by the Board, and for overseeing the activities of the Group’s audit function.

Accountability and control

To enable the directors to meet their responsibilities, the Board sets standards and requires management to implement systems of internal control aimed at reducing the risk of error, fraud or loss in a cost-effective manner. These controls include the proper delegation of responsibilities within a clearly defined framework, effective accounting procedures and adequate segregation of duties.

The controls are monitored throughout the Group, and all employees are required to maintain the highest ethical standards in ensuring that the Group’s business practices are conducted in a manner which is beyond reproach.

The audit approach entails a thorough comprehension of the Group’s financial and accounting objectives and analysis of the underlying systems and procedures. The audit plan is determined annually, based on the relative degrees of inherent risk of each function. The audit

committee is in the process of outsourcing the internal audit function to a suitable audit firm, taking into account benchmarks set for Black Economic Empowerment (“BEE”) procurement .

All important findings arising from audit procedures are brought to the attention of the audit committee and, if necessary, to the Board.

The directors are of the opinion, based on the information and explanations given by management, that the internal accounting controls are adequate so that the financial records may be relied on for preparing the financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets and liabilities.

Nomination Committee

The nomination committee has the responsibility of making recommendations to the Board on the appointment of new executive, independent non-executive, and non-executive directors, including the responsibility for making recommendations on the size, structure and composition of the Board generally.

The nomination committee is also charged with the responsibility of identifying and nominating suitable candidates, for the approval of the Board, to fill Board vacancies as and when they arise. The nomination committee identifies candidates of a suitable calibre, possessing the skills required to act as directors and having the expertise to enhance the skills and knowledge base of the Board as a whole.

The nomination committee is required to put in place succession plans for the chairperson of the Board and chief executive officer of Matodzi.

Members comprising the nomination committee are Messrs A Mlangeni (chairman) and PH Gray.

Remuneration Committee

The remuneration committee sets and monitors remuneration for the Group. This is achieved through a Remuneration Policy which has as its objectives to:

• attract, reward and retain staff and executives of the highest calibre;

• align the behaviour and performance of executives and staff with the Group’s strategic goals, and the interests of shareholders ; and

• ensure the appropriate mix of short, medium and long-term rewards and incentives, with the latter being closely linked to Group performance targets and strategic objectives that are in place.

Remuneration Committee (continued)

In particular the remuneration committee is responsible for the remuneration packages for executive directors of the Company.

The following principles are applied in determining executive remuneration:

• salaries are targeted at the median for the relevant comparable companies; and

• incentive schemes to align performance targets with shareholder interests.

MATODzI RESOuRCES LIMITED

We have audited the group annual financial statements and the annual financial statements of Matodzi Resources Limited, which comprise the balance sheets at 31 March 2008, and the income statements, the statements of changes in equity and cash flow statements for the year then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, and the directors’ report as set out on pages 13 to 39.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITy FOR THE 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 Matodzi Resources Limited at 31 March 2008, 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.

Statement of compliance

The consolidated and separate annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and Schedule 4 of the Companies Act, 61 of 1973, as amended.

Significant accounting policies

Matodzi is a company domiciled in South Africa. The consolidated annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2008 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”).

Basis of preparation

The annual financial statements are presented in Rands, rounded to the nearest thousand, which is the Company’s functional currency and the Group's presentation currency. They are prepared on the historical cost convention except for investment properties and listed investments, which are measured at fair value.

The preparation of annual financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to exercise its judgement, make certain estimates and assumptions in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies to reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions, are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes to estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the annual financial statements, are disclosed in note 22 of the annual financial statements.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these annual financial statements and by all Group entities.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are

currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Associates and joint ventures (equity accounted investees)

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions. Associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees).

The consolidated annual financial statements include the Group’s share of income and expenses of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are also eliminated, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

PROPERTy, PLANT AND EQuIPMENT

Owned assets

Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour and other costs incurred directly in the construction of the asset.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts and are included in operating profit.

PROPERTy, PLANT AND EQuIPMENT (continued)

Depreciation

Depreciation on other assets is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Depreciation of an item of property, plant and equipment begins when it is available for use and ceases at the earlier of the date it is classified as held for sale or the date that it is derecognised. The estimated useful lives for the current and previous financial year are as follows:

Prospecting rights 10 yearsComputer equipment 3 yearsMotor vehicles 5 years

Where appropriate, and if significant, expected residual values are taken into account in determining the depreciable values of assets.

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. The assets’ residual values, methods of depreciation and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

Leased assets

Leases that transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Property, plant and equipment subject to finance lease agreements are capitalised at the lower of fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease, and the corresponding liability to the lessor is raised. Lease payments are allocated using the effective interest rate method to determine the lease finance cost, which is charged against operating profit, and the capital repayment which reduces the liability to the lessor. These assets are depreciated on the same basis as property, plant and equipment owned by the Group.

DECOMMISSIONING AND REHABILITATION ASSETS

Group companies are generally required to restore mine and processing sites at the end of their production lives to a condition acceptable to the relevant authorities.

The expected cost of any committed decommissioning or restoration programme, discounted to its net present value, is provided and capitalised at the beginning of each project. The capitalised cost is depreciated over the expected life of the asset and the increase in the net present value of the provision for the expected cost is included in finance costs. Subsequent changes in the initial estimates of rehabilitation and decommissioning

costs are capitalised as part of the cost of the item and depreciated prospectively over the remaining life of the item to which they relate.

NON-CuRRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

Non-current assets (or disposal group) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable, the assets (or disposal group) are available for immediate sale in its present condition and management is committed to the sale which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of the classification.

Upon initial classification as held for sale, non-current assets (or disposal group) are recognised at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Any impairment losses arising are recognised in the income statement. A gain for any subsequent increase in the fair value less costs to sell is recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it is not in excess of the cumulative impairment loss previously recognised.

IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is estimated taking into account future cash flows, forecast market conditions and expected lives of the assets. Such cash flows are discounted using pre-tax discount rates that reflect current assessments of the time value of money and the risks associated with the specific asset.

IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. An impairment loss in respect of an available for sale financial asset is calculated by reference to its current fair value.

Individually significant assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.

All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any cumulative loss in respect of an available for sale financial asset recognised previously in equity is transferred to profit and loss.

For purposes of assessing impairment of an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

REvERSAL OF IMPAIRMENT

All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any cumulative loss in respect of an available for sale asset recognised previously in equity is transferred to profit or loss.

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost and available for sale financial assets that are debt securities, the reversal is recognised in profit or loss. For available for sale financial assets that are equity securities, the reversal is recognised directly in equity.

Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available for sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement.

INvESTMENT PROPERTy

Investment properties are held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both and are not occupied by the companies of the Group.

Investment properties comprise freehold land and building and are carried at fair value. Those that are being redeveloped for continuing use as investment property, or for which the market has become less active, continue to be measured at fair value. Undeveloped property is valued at estimated net realisable value. Selected properties are valued every twelve months by a competent valuation company.

Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. Rental income from investment property is recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

When an item of property, plant and equipment is transferred to investment property following a change in its use, any difference arising at the date of transfer between the carrying amount of the item immediately prior to transfer and its fair value is recognised directly in equity if it is a gain. Upon disposal of the item the gain is transferred to retained earnings. Any loss arising in this manner is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

TRANSACTIONS WITH MINORITy SHAREHOLDERS

The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority shareholders that do not result in the gain or loss of control, as transactions with equity owners of the Group. For purchases of additional interests from minority shareholders, the excess of the purchase consideration over the group's proportionate share of the additional net asset value of the subsidiary acquired is accounted for directly in equity. For disposals to minority shareholders, the profit or loss on partial disposal of the group's interest in a subsidiary is also accounted for directly in equity.

INvESTMENT IN SuBSIDIARIES

In the Company's financial statements, investments in subsidiary companies are stated at cost less provision for impairment loss.

FINANCE COSTS

Finance costs that are directly attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised up to the date that the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. Qualifying assets are those that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use.

Other finance costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

FINANCIAL INSTRuMENTS

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial instruments are initially recognised when the Group becomes party to the contractual terms of the instruments and are measured at fair value , except where the financial instrument is subsequently measured at fair value in which case transactions costs are expensed as incurred. Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of the financial instrument.

Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.

Financial assets

The Group’s principal financial assets are investments, trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents:

Investments

Investments held for trading are classified as current assets and are measured at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

Other non-current investments held by the Group are classified as being available for sale and are measured at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss being recognised directly in equity. When these investments are sold or impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised directly in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

For investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to Stock Exchange quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For investments where there is no quoted market price, fair value is determined by reference to the current market value of another instrument which is substantially the same or is calculated based on the expected cash flows of the underlying net asset base of the investment.

Loans to and from Group companies

These include loans to holding companies, fellow subsidiaries and associates and are recognised initially at fair value plus direct transfer costs.

On loans receivables an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is evidence that it is impaired. The impairment is measured as the difference between the investment's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition.

Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the investment's recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed shall not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables originated by the Group are stated at their nominal value less allowance for doubtful debts. An estimate of doubtful debts is made based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the balance sheet date. Bad debts are written off during the period in which they are identified.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are measured at their fair value. For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held on call, and investments in money market instruments, net of bank overdrafts, all of which are available for use unless otherwise stated.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

The accounting policies adopted for specific financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

The Group’s principal financial liabilities are interest-bearing debt, non-interest-bearing debt, trade and other payables and bank overdrafts and other short-term borrowings:

Interest-bearing debt

Interest-bearing debt is recognised using the effective interest method.

Non-interest-bearing debt

Non-interest-bearing debt is recognised at original debt less principal payments.

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated at cost which approximates fair value.

Equity

The Group’s principal equity instrument is ordinary share capital. Ordinary share capital is recorded at original cost.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds.

When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is deducted from equity until the shares are cancelled, reissued or disposed of. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable costs, net of tax, is included in equity.

Derecognition

Financial assets (or a portion thereof) are derecognised when the Group realises the rights to the benefits specified in the contract, the rights expire or the Group surrenders or otherwise loses control of the contractual rights that comprise the financial asset. On derecognition, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and proceeds receivable and any prior adjustment to reflect fair value that had been reported in equity are included in the income statement.

Financial liabilities (or a portion thereof) are derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. On derecognition, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability, including related unamortised costs, and the amount paid for it are included in the income statement.

Fair value methods and assumptions

The fair value of financial instruments traded in an organised financial market are measured at the applicable quoted prices, adjusted for any transaction cost necessary to realise the assets or settle the liabilities.

The fair value of financial instruments not traded in an organised financial market is determined using a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risk existing at balance sheet date, including independent appraisals and discounted cash flow methods. The fair value determined is adjusted for any transaction costs necessary to realise the assets or settle the liabilities.

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their nominal amounts.

Set-off

Where a legally enforceable right to set-off exists for recognised financial assets and financial liabilities, and there is an intention to settle the liability and realise the asset simultaneously, or to settle on a net basis, all related financial effects are set-off.

INVENTORIES

Inventories, which include rough diamonds, are stated at the lower of cost of production or estimated net realisable value. Consumable stores are stated at the lower of cost on the weighted average or estimated replacement value.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less marketing costs. The cost of production is based on the weighted average cost basis, and includes direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads.

PROVISIONS

Provisions represent liabilities of uncertain timing or amount.

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.

TAXATION

Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity.

Current tax comprises tax payable calculated on the basis of the expected income for the year, using the tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment of tax payable for previous years.

Deferred taxation is provided on all taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are differences between the carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes, except for differences relating to goodwill which are not deductible for taxation purposes and the initial recognition of assets or liabilities which affect neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

TAXATION (continued)

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the associated unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Secondary Tax on Companies is provided in respect of dividend payments net of dividends received or receivable and is recognised as a taxation charge for the year.

A withholding tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the associated unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Withholding tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

REVENUE

Revenue comprises of the invoiced value for the sale of diamonds and royalties received.

Revenue from the sale of diamonds is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer.

Revenue from royalties are recognised when the sale which gives rise to this revenue takes place.

Other revenues earned by the Group are recognised on the following bases:

• Finance income: as it accrues unless collectability is in doubt

• Dividend income: when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established

LEASES

Leases where the lessor retains the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying asset are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the lease adjustment is confirmed.

FOREIGN CuRRENCy TRANSACTIONS

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange ruling at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation are credited to or charged against income.

EMPLOyEE BENEFITS

Short term employee benefits

The cost of all short-term employee benefits is recognised during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes and share options granted to employees.

SEGMENT REPORTING

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing related products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments. The Group’s primary format for segment reporting is based on business segments.

�0 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

– –Decommissioning and rehabilitation of mine dumps and plant – 150

The Group, in the ordinary course of business enters into transactions which expose the Group to tax, legal and business risks. Provisions are made for known liabilities which are expected to materialise. Possible obligations and known liabilities where non-reliable estimates can be made or it is considered improbable that an outflow would result, are noted as contingent liabilities.

21 BORROWING POWERS

The borrowing power in terms of the Company’s Articles of Association are unlimited. At the accounting date the actual borrowings amounted to R1 247 000 (2007: R2 701 000).

22 FINANCIAL INSTRuMENTS Risk management

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

Liquidity risk

In the ordinary course of business the Group receives cash from its operations or future operations and is required to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements. The cash is managed to ensure surplus funds are invested to achieve maximum return while minimising risks.

Market risk

Foreign currency risk

The Group is not exposed to any foreign currency risk on any sales, purchases or borrowings.

Interest rate risk

Fluctuations in interest rates impact on the value of short-term cash investments, and financing activities, giving rise to interest rate risk.

The Group's exposure to interest rate risk at the balance sheet is:

Assets Interest rate

Cash balance Varying rates

Other receivables Non-interest bearing

Liabilities Interest rate

Trade creditors Non-interest bearing

Interest bearing borrowings Varying rates

The Group’s investments in variable-rate debt securities and its variable-rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows due to changes in interest rates. Short-term receivables and payables are not exposed to interest rate risk.

Credit riskFinancial assets which potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and other receivables.

The Group only deposits cash surpluses with a major bank of high quality credit standing.

Credit risk with respect to other receivables is limited due to a small number of debtors comprising the debtor base and the receipt of the outstanding amounts immediately after year end.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum exposure to credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the year end was as follows:

20 308 20 308 – Available for sale 33 641 33 641

The Group had no changes in their exposure to risk, how they arise and their objectives, policies and processes for managing these risks and the methods used to measure the risks from the previous year.

Fair valueThe investment properties, listed investments, trade and other payables and accruals equate fair value.

23 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Board's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board of directors monitors the return on capital, which the Group defines as net operating income divided by total shareholders' equity, excluding non-redeemable preference shares and minority interests. The Board of directors also monitors the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.

There were no changes in the Group's approach to capital management during the year.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

24 RELATED PARTIES

Identity of related parties Matodzi is the ultimate holding company in the Group. The subsidiaries of the Group are identified on page 38 in Annexure 2 to these financial statements. The directors and key management are set out in the directors’ report. The ultimate holding company is JCI.

Transactions with directorsRemuneration paid to directors is in the form of fees to non-executive directors and remuneration to executive directors. Other than as disclosed on page 14, the directors did not have any material interest in any contract of significance with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which may have given rise to a conflict of interest during the year. Details relating to directors emoluments are set out in the directors’ report on page 14.

Transactions with entities within the GroupDuring the year under review, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into various loan transactions with one another in the ordinary course of business. These transactions occurred at arm’s length and have been eliminated on consolidation. Details of these loans are disclosed on page 38 in Annexure 2.Transactions with other related stakeholdersConsolidated Mining Management Services Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of JCI, was repaid an amount of R1 431 000 (2007: R44 095 000) by the Group including interest capitalised at prime overdraft rate on the interest bearing portion during the 2008 financial year. During 2008, portion of this loan was interest bearing and portion of this loan was interest-free. Details of this loan are disclosed on page 32 in note 13.Lyons, a subsidiary of the Lyons Group, which is ultimately a subsidiary of JCI in its professional capacity as valuators were paid consulting fees to the value of R7 000 (2007: RNil) for the valuation of the investment property referred to in note 8 on page 29, which amount was settled in full at the year end. Mr PH Gray is a non-executive director of Tlotlisa Holdings Limited, the parent company of T-SEC, to whom Matodzi paid an amount of R399 000 (2007: RNil) as consulting fees for the restructure of the Group. There were no other amounts paid to the Tlotlisa Group during the financial year, and no amounts remained outstanding at year end.

Key management contractsAll key management contracts are disclosed in the directors report on page 14.

25 CRITICAL ACCOuNTING ESTIMATES AND JuDGEMENTS

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Estimates are used in assessing provision for assets, goodwill, inventories, doubtful debts, certain general accruals and provisions. The estimates used are consistent with the prior year and are appropriate for the industry in which the Group operates. There were no significant judgements made that would have a material impact on the annual financial statements.

SEGMENTAL ANALySIS FOR THE yEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2008

Based on the fact that the risks and rates of return are affected predominantly by differences in products and services other than by the fact that it operated in different geographical areas, the directors consider that the primary reporting format is a business segment. The Group was organised into two different business units. These business units were the basis on which the Group reports its primary segment information. The secondary reporting format was by geographic segment being the Republic of South Africa and the Kingdom of Lesotho. The risks and returns for the geographic segment were considered to be the same.

The principal business units in the Group were as follows:

Business unit Scope of operations

Mining Involved the mining and processing of kimberlite rock and associated gravels and the recovery of diamonds therefrom, in the Letseng-la-Terae Mining lease area in the Kingdom of Lesotho for sale by tender in Antwerp.

Other operations Represents the leasing of prospecting rights held by the Group and other non-reportable segments.

PROSPECTING RIGHTS

INTRODUCTIONThe Group held various old order prospecting permits throughout South Africa. Applications for conversion of the old order rights to new order prospecting rights on 32 farms have been submitted to the DME. With regard to these applications for prospecting rights:

• some are currently under evaluation process with the DME; and

• some have been granted by the DME.

Table 1: Number of farms applied for prospecting rights

CompanyNo. of Farms Ownership

Consolidated Resources and Exploration Limited (“COREX”) 20 100%

Matodzi 12 100%

With outside parties 0 25%

Total ��

The prospecting rights are held either directly by the Company or through its wholly-owned subsidiary COREX. The prospecting rights held by COREX are subject to the joint venture agreement referred to on page 14.

MATODzI: PROSPECTING RIGHT By virtue of successive name changes from Witwatersrand Nigel Limited to New Mining Corporation Limited (20 January 1999), and from New Mining Corporation Limited to Matodzi Resources Limited (4 November 2002), the Group held title to a substantial portfolio of mineral rights in the form of title deeds, mynpachten and precious metal claims in the Heidelberg area (Lesedi Local Municipality). The bulk of these rights comprise the now defunct Witwatersrand Nigel Limited gold mine, where the historical mining operations focused on the exploitation of the Nigel Reef.

Matodzi has converted the old order right to a new prospecting right over 10 farms (old order right included) in the Heidelberg area (Gauteng). The name of the project is Wit Nigel. Application of prospecting right for Wit Nigel Project was granted, executed and registered with the DME. This prospecting right has been ceded to White Water Gold (Pty) Ltd and the registration of the cession is pending.

The Group has applied for Ministerial consent in terms of section 102 of the MPRDA, to extend the prospecting right over the Wit Nigel Project. The motivation for inclusion

in the Wit Nigel Prospecting Right has been accepted and it is in the process of adjudication. The application is for inclusion of two farms that will increase the number of farms to 12.

COREX: PROSPECTING RIGHT COREX has applied for prospecting rights over 23 farms covering the Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West and Gauteng regions. Applications over 2 farms have been rejected by the DME. These are subject to appeal. The farms are considered to have varying degrees of potential mineral deposits for a variety of minerals, including diamonds, gold, platinum group metals, coal, base metals and industrial minerals.

COREX has historically divided its mineral rights portfolio into two categories based on mineral deposits potential for a specific commodity, or a combination of commodities, by virtue of the surrounding geology. This is summarised in table 2.

Category A: Farms that are considered to be highly prospective and located in favourable geological terrains;

Category B: Farms considered to have lower potential due to commodity prices and/or the early stage (“grass roots”) nature of the property, but located in favourable geological terrains.

Prospecting right for Heuvelfontein project, farm Heuvelfontein 215 IR, has been granted. Registration for this prospecting right is pending subject to a correction of documentation. Prospecting right for Boschpoort project, farm Boschpoort 284 JQ, has been granted. Execution for this project is pending subject to the DME claiming not to have received the Bank Guarantee for rehabilitation of land disturbed by prospecting activity submitted by the Group.

MINERALISATION POTENTIAL

PLATINuM GROuP METALS

COREX applied for prospecting rights over two farms, Boschpoort and Schoonoord for Platinum group metals, the Boschpoort prospecting right having been granted by the DME and awaiting execution. The farm Boschpoort is underlain by the Bushveld Complex, inclusive of the Merensky and UG2 Reef zones, the latter of which occurs 212 metres below the former. Whilst both reef zones are currently being mined by Anglo Platinum and Impala Platinum close to outcrop, the Merensky Reef is projected to occur at a minimum depth of 2 000 metres below surface on the property, with similar grades and widths to those at the Rustenburg Platinum and Impala Platinum mining operations.

Schoonoord 462 is located on the north eastern sector of the Bushveld Complex, immediately down-dip of the Lebowa Platinum Mine. The farm is underlain by the Merensky and the UG2 Reef zones, which are currently being exploited at Lebowa. The Merensky Reef occurs at an estimated depth of 1 800 metres below surface at the north eastern boundary of the farm, and is expected to have similar grades and widths to those currently being mined at Lebowa. This application has been rejected and is subject to appeal.

DIAMONDS

Alluvial diamonds

The farms Bossieslaagte and Mooivlei have the potential for alluvial diamonds. Mooivlei is situated on the Limpopo River and has substantial paleo-channel gravel deposits, while Bossieslaagte lies within the Harts River area which is known for alluvial diamonds.

Kimberlite diamonds

Numerous Kimberlite discoveries have been made over the past two decades in the Limpopo Mobile Belt of the Limpopo province, the most notable being the Venetia pipe complex. The area is regarded as having potential for further discoveries of Kimberlite. COREX has applied for prospecting rights over 14 farms in this area which satisfy the criteria for Kimberlite occurrences, and which should be explored specifically for Kimberlite deposits. The farms are Bokveld, Havre, Oorsprong, Hayoma, Werkplaas, Kaffersfontein, Lith, Vucht, Mooivlei, Melbourne, Niemandsland, Norfolk, Reserve and Letitia. Prospecting right applications for all these farms have been accepted and Environmental Management Programmes have been submitted.

GOLDMatodzi has been granted prospecting rights over the Wit Nigel Project area which comprises the now defunct Witwatersrand Nigel Limited gold mine (where the historical mining operations focused on the exploitation of the Nigel Reef) and the surrounding areas. This project has potential for both the Nigel Reef and Kimberley (May) Reef, albeit that these reef horizons are considered to be of a distal nature with the associated gold grades being erratic, and occurring largely within well constrained areas of channelisation.

COREX has been granted a prospecting right over the farm Elandsfontein 471 JP. A gold reef of the Pilgrims Rest type is indicated on a published geological survey map on the farm Elandsfontein 471JP at Ngodwana, west of Nelspruit. The old Mamre and Slaaihoek mines some 15 km to the south west historically produced over 11 tons of gold from similar deposits, across the Elands River valley from the farm. A gold reef appears on the same geological map and is an apparent continuation of these deposits with a reported assay value of 6,5 g/t over 1,75 m.

COAL

COREX has been granted a prospecting right over the farm Heuvelfontein situated in the Witbank Coalfield and has made application for a prospecting right over the farm Wellington, situated in the Springbok Flats Coalfield and Werkplaas situated in the Eastern Soutpansberg Coalfield.

Heuvelfontein is a small farm located in Mpumalanga between the defunct New Largo and Alpha collieries in the Witbank Coalfield. Small tonnages of high grade coking coal are likely to exist on the No. 4 seam at a depth of approximately 50 metres.
