NOTES
1  Review of the independent auditors
   These condensed consolidated preliminary financial statements of African and Overseas Enterprises 
   Limited for the year ended 30 June 2018 have been reviewed by KPMG Inc., who expressed an unmodified 
   review conclusion thereon. The auditor's report does not necessarily report on all of the 
   information contained in these financial results. Shareholders are therefore advised that in order 
   to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the auditor's engagement they should obtain a 
   copy of the auditor's report together with the accompanying financial statements from the issuer's 
   registered office.

2  Basis of preparation
   The condensed consolidated preliminary financial statements are prepared in accordance with the 
   requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements for preliminary reports and the requirements of the 
   Companies Act of South Africa. The Listings Requirements require preliminary reports to be 
   prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements 
   of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides 
   as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by the 
   Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the information required 
   by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the 
   summarised condensed preliminary financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with 
   those applied in the previous consolidated annual financial statements. Comparative figures are 
   regrouped or restated where necessary in accordance with current year classifications. This report 
   was prepared under the supervision of the financial director, WD Nel CA (SA).

3  Dividends
   A dividend on the 6% cumulative participating preference shares for the six months ended 
   30 June 2018 in the amount of 6 cents per preference share was declared by the board of directors 
   on 15 June 2018 and was paid on 9 July 2018. The directors have not proposed a dividend in respect 
   of the ordinary and "N" ordinary shares.

4  Notes to the financial statements
   4.1  Acquisition of business
        The group acquired the Queenspark Namibian franchise business, previously operated by a 
        third party, in the prior year for a cash consideration of R2 939 000. The rationale for 
        the acquisition was to implement an expansion strategy in Namibia. The assets acquired are 
        listed below and represent their fair value. No liabilities were acquired.

                                                                                              R'000
        Intangible asset                                                                      1 100
        Property, plant and equipment                                                           500
        Inventory                                                                             1 339
                                                                                              2 939

   4.2  Financial instruments 
        Financial instruments included in trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and 
        forward exchange contract assets/liabilities are short term in nature, settled within 
        12 months, and the carrying value substantially approximates the fair value. 

5  Standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective
   A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual 
   periods beginning on or after 1 July 2018, and have not been applied in preparing these financial 
   statements. Those which may be relevant to the group are set out below. The group does not plan 
   to adopt these standards early. These will be adopted in the period that they become mandatory.

   IFRS 16: Leases

   IFRS 15: Revenue
   IFRS 15, published in May 2014, introduces a new revenue recognition model for contracts with 
   customers. It replaces IAS 11, IAS 18, IFRIC 13, IFRIC 15, IFRIC 18 and SIC-31. IFRS 15 includes 
   extensive new disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for the financial year ending 
   June 2019. 

   Sales of goods
   For the sale of goods, revenue is currently recognised when the goods are purchased, which is 
   taken to be the point in time at which the customer accepts the goods and the related risks and 
   rewards of ownership transfer. Revenue is recognised at this point provided that the revenue and 
   costs can be measured reliably, the recovery of the consideration is probable and there is no 
   continuing management involvement with the goods. The value of returned goods is considered 
   immaterial. 

   Effectively under IFRS 15 revenue will be recognised when a customer obtains control of the goods. 

   Under IFRS 15 revenue will be recognised for these contracts to the extent that it is probable 
   that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. 

   The group does not have a loyalty programme. Lay-byes and gift cards only generate turnover when 
   a customer takes possession of the goods. In all cases this will only occur when the full purchase 
   price has been received. The group provides a small amount of goods to certain online retailers 
   on consignment basis. Revenue in this case is only recognised when the product is sold to the 
   end customer. 

   Based on its current and ongoing assessment, management is of the opinion that the requirements 
   of IFRS 15 will not have a material impact on the financial statements, as currently the revenue 
   recognition is in line with the IFRS principles. 

   Transition
   However small the impact of the new standard, the group plans to adopt IFRS 15 using the cumulative 
   effect method, with the effect of initially applying this standard recognised at the date of 
   initial application (i.e. 1 July 2018). As a result, the group will not apply the requirements 
   of IFRS 15 to the comparative period presented.

   Disclosure
   The group has assessed the impact of the new disclosure requirements on its financial statements 
   and management believes that current disclosures of accounting policies, significant judgement 
   and estimates and related notes will not change materially as a result of the implementation of 
   the new standard. No significant changes are expected to systems and processes.

   The audit committee will be reviewing and monitoring the group's transition to the new 
   accounting standards and to ensure proactively promoted compliance to the newly effective 
   accounting standards.

   IFRS 9: Financial Instruments
   On 24 July 2014 the IASB issued the final IFRS 9: Financial Instruments Standards, which replaces 
   earlier versions of IFRS 9 as well as IAS 39: Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement.

   Classification - financial assets
   IFRS 9 contains a new classification and measurement approach for financial assets that reflects the 
   business model in which the assets are managed and their cash flow characteristics. The three 
   principal classification categories for financial assets are: measured at amortised cost, fair value 
   through profit or loss ("FVTPL") and fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"). 

   The standard eliminates the existing IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables 
   and available for sale. 

   Based on its assessment, the group does not believe that the new classification requirements will 
   have a material impact on its accounting for financial assets. 

   Measurement - Financial assets
   IFRS 9 replaces the "incurred loss" model in IAS 39 with a forward-looking "expected credit loss" 
   ("ECL") model. This will require considerable judgement as to how changes in economic factors 
   affect ECLs, which is required to be determined on a probability-weighted basis. Under IFRS 9 
   loss allowances will be measured on the lifetime ECLs basis. These are ECLs that result from all 
   possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The group is in the 
   process of refining its impairment model under IFRS 9.

   The new impairment model will apply to financial assets measured at amortised cost or FVOCI, 
   except for investments in equity instruments.

   The group's trade receivables arise solely from online sales through two contracted online 
   platforms and which amount to a very small portion of revenue. The trade receivable book 
   (comprising the two online platforms) is monitored on a monthly basis for any trends. The group 
   has not experienced any bad or doubtful debt with its current receivable book and is not expecting 
   any to arise in the future. Therefore, regardless of the judgement that will be required referred 
   to above, based on its ongoing assessment, the group believes that impairment losses (if any) 
   are not likely to increase in terms of the scope of the IFRS 9 impairment model.

   Classification - financial liabilities
   IFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS 39 for the classification of financial 
   liabilities. However, under IAS 39 all fair value changes of liabilities designated as at FVTPL 
   are recognised in profit or loss, whereas under IFRS 9 these fair value changes are generally 
   presented as follows:

   -  the amount of change in the fair value that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of 
      the liability is presented in OCI; and
   -  the remaining amount of change in the fair value is presented in profit or loss.

   The group has not designated any financial liabilities at FVTPL and it has no current intention 
   to do so.

   Disclosure
   IFRS 9 will require extensive new disclosures, in particular with regard to credit risk and ECLs. 
   The group's assessment included an analysis to identify data gaps against current processes and 
   the group is in the process of implementing the system and controls changes that it believes 
   will be necessary to capture the required data.

   Transition
   Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 will generally be applied 
   retrospectively, except as described below.

   -  The group will take advantage of the exemption allowing it not to restate comparative 
      information for prior periods with respect to classification and measurement (including 
      impairment) changes. Differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial 
      liabilities resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 will generally be recognised in retained 
      earnings and reserves as at 1 July 2018.
   -  The following assessments have to be made on the basis of the facts and circumstances that 
      exist at the date of initial application (1 July 2018):
      - the determination of the business model within which a financial asset is held;
      - the designation and revocation of previous designations of certain financial assets as measured 
        at FVTPL; and
      - the designation of certain investments in equity instruments not held for trading as at FVOCI.

   The impact assessment on systems and processes is currently under way and management is evaluating 
   whether any changes to systems and processes are warranted.

   IFRS 16: Leases
   IFRS 16 replaces the existing lease standard, IAS 17 Leases, and related interpretations. The standard 
   will be adopted for the first time by the group for the financial year ending 30 June 2020.

   The group's property segment will not be significantly impacted as lessor accounting will remain 
   largely unchanged.

   The standard will significantly impact the group's retail segment in which there are currently 
   seventy store operating leases. Based on the new standard the group will no longer be required 
   to straight-line operating lease payments, as a result, occupancy costs will decrease. The new 
   standard will require the recognition of a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability 
   resulting in increased depreciation and finance costs. Key metrics in the statement of financial 
   position and statement of comprehensive income will be affected. Optional exemptions for short-term 
   leases and leases of low-value items will lessen the impact of the standard.

   The group continues to assess the potential impact of the new standard on its consolidated 
   financial statements, including the assessment of the practical application of the principles contained 
   in the new standard. The actual impact of applying IFRS 16 on the financial statements in the period of 
   initial application will depend on, inter alia, future economic conditions including the group's 
   borrowing rate at 1 July 2019, the criteria that meet the definition of a lease, the composition of 
   the store lease portfolio and the group's assessment of its intent to exercise lease renewal options. 
   Once the new standard is adopted, the group will either apply the standard on a full or modified, 
   with practical expedients allowed per IFRS 16, retrospective basis.

6  Events subsequent to the reporting date
   No events material to the understanding of the condensed consolidated preliminary financial 
   statements have occurred between the financial year-end and the date hereof. 


COMMENTARY

The principal operating subsidiary, Rex Trueform Group Limited, reports as follows:

"Group profile 
Rex Trueform Group Limited ("Rex") is invested in the property and retail segments. Its interest in 
retail is through its South African subsidiary, Queenspark Proprietary Limited ("Queenspark"), 
which operates fashion retail stores across South Africa and Namibia. Rex's interest in property 
includes direct property ownership and indirect property investment through a wholly-owned subsidiary, 
Queenspark Distribution Centre Proprietary Limited. During the period under review Rex changed its 
name to Rex Trueform Group Limited to better reflect the diverse nature of its business.

Group results 
The group's performance during the 2018 financial year improved significantly compared to the prior 
financial year notwithstanding the weak economic environment. Revenue, mainly driven by the retail 
segment, increased by 10.8% to R608.5 million (2017: R549.0 million). The gross profit generated 
from the retail segment increased by 9.7% to R319.9 million (2017: R291.6 million). Other group 
income, including rental and royalty income, increased by 2.6% and was negatively impacted by the 
reduction of third party royalty income. Trading expenses were contained and increased by 5.0%.

The above resulted in the operating profit increasing by 1 765.2% to R14.1 million (2017: R0.8 million). 
Profit after tax increased by 303.8% to R12.8 million (2017: R3.2 million) resulting in the earnings 
per share increasing by 305.9% to 62.1 cents per share (2017: 15.3 cents per share).

Retail (Queenspark)
The Queenspark strategy includes the introduction of new brands to complement the existing ranges. 
A number of new brands, together with new product categories, were introduced during the period 
under review in an endeavour to provide an improved offering to customers. This new strategy, 
although in its infancy, is progressing well. In line with its longer-term strategy Queenspark 
opened ten new stores and closed one store during the financial year, bringing its total number of 
stores to 70, excluding one franchise store in Kenya and two online sales platforms.

Retail comparable period
As a result of the implementation of its strategy, the Retail segment turnover increased by 11.1% 
to R587.6 million (2017: R528.8 million). Its gross margin decreased marginally to 54.4% 
(2017: 55.1%) partly due to more aggressive markdowns. Retail operating costs, which included 
additional store costs, increased by 6.2%. The above resulted in a retail operating profit of 
R8.2 million compared to an operating loss of R1.9 million in the prior financial year.

Property
The Rex Trueform Office Park complex is the main income-generating operation within the group's 
property segment. The operating profit of this segment increased by 25.6% to R10.0 million 
(2017: R8.0 million). This improvement in operating profit was largely due to the containment of 
operating costs.

Group services 
Group services costs decreased by 22.8% to R4.1 million (2017: R5.3 million) in line with the 
strategy to reduce the cost base of the group.

Prospects
Retail (Queenspark)
Queenspark is making progress on its strategic initiatives to build new channels of growth and 
increase brand awareness. The introduction of third party brands has been well received by the 
customer and our new house brands continue to grow and complement our existing ranges. Customer 
relationship management has been, and continues to be, a major focus, and we are beginning to reap 
the rewards of enhanced customer knowledge and understanding. The introduction of lay-by as a form 
of payment has been well received and continues to gain traction. We will continue to open new 
stores that are considered feasible, with a view to expanding our footprint both in South Africa 
and Namibia.

The first seven weeks of the new financial year have exceeded management's expectations and whilst 
we are fully aware that we are trading in difficult economic times, we remain confident in our future 
and in our ability to deliver sustainable growth and value creation for shareholders.

Property
Rex has the intention to develop two further properties in the medium term, both situated in the 
Cape Town area, and is continuing to consider development options in this regard. One of the 
undeveloped properties is classified as a heritage site which will limit development opportunities 
and has caused a delay in the development process."
