in the prior year) was included in other payables at year end.

Fees of R2 900 000 (nil in the prior year) were paid by the Company to RH Bophelo Operating Company Proprietary Limited,

During the year, the Company raised R499 999 999 through the issue of 49 999 999 "A" ordinary shares at R10 a share. In the
prior year, the Company had 1"A" ordinary share in issue.

The Company also issued 1 "B" share for R1 to RH Bophelo Management Company Proprietary Limited. In the prior year,
the Company had no "B" shares in issue.

The net asset value per share at year end is R9,91 (prior year: R1).

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
The key financial results reflected in these inaugural financial results are:

- RHB recorded an operating group profit of R7 835 912 for its first period of operation, comprised almost entirely of
  costs associated with the listing of the Company on the JSE, due diligence expenses and interests earned from the funds
  raised.

- Basic earnings per share and headline earnings per share amounted 24,7 cents. The reported net income should be
  viewed in the context of the following:

      -    RHB listed on the JSE on 12 July 2017, and did not engage in any commercial trade prior to listing;
      -    Apart from the 50 000 000 shares issued in preparation of the listing, no other shares were issued;
      -    The subscription amount of R500 million less all permissible expenses is kept in the escrow account with RMB
           until the Company is reclassified from a SPAC to the investment entity sector of the JSE;
      -    Total interest earned as at 28 February 2018 was R20 827 263;
      -    The expenses reported for this period is therefore comprised of permissible expenses incurred to advance and
           achieve RHB's JSE listing, and operational expenses of R12 522 732; and
      -    RHB acquired assets only on 26 April 2018 and therefore any income earned is not indicative of the Company's
           future prospects.

At the time of listing, the Board made it known to the market that the Company was seeking the acquisition of a viable asset
in the Healthcare industry. Since the listing, management has been diligently reviewing various potential acquisition
opportunities and is continuously engaging with potential vendors on propositions that could satisfy the Company's vision
and values. The Company has sufficient resources to make a significant investment, using cash, equity and debt, or any
combination thereof as deemed appropriate by management and the Board.

BASIC AND HEADLINE EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share was based on profit after tax of R7 835 912 and weighted average number of ordinary shares of
31 780 822 issued and subscribed on 12 July 2017.

At reporting date RHB had not concluded a viable asset acquisition, therefore the income earned in the current year is not
indicative of the Company's prospects.

                                                                                                           Feb-18   Feb-17
