Notes
Basis of preparation
The abridged financial statements are prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements for abridged reports, and 
the requirements of the Companies Act applicable to summary financial

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 annual financial 
statements, from which this abridged report were derived, are in terms of 
IFRS and are consistent with the accounting policies applied in the 
preparation of the previous consolidated annual financial statements, 
except for the adoption of the accounting standards which became effective 
on 1 January 2018 and the early adoption of IFRS16 - leases. The directors
take full responsibility for the preparation of the abridged reports and 
the financial information has been correctly extracted from the underlying 
annual financial statements. These results were prepared under the 
supervision of Henk Engelbrecht CA(SA), the Group Chief Financial Officer.

itself audited. The directors take responsibility for the preparation of 
this abridged report based on the underlying audited annual financial

2. Changes in accounting policies
IFRS9 ? Financial instruments and IFRS15 ? Revenue from contracts with 
customers became effective for financial years that started from 
1 January 2018. The adoption of these accounting standards did not have 
a material effect on the financial results or position of the Group for 
the year ended 31 December 2018.

IFRS 16 - Leases, becomes effective on 1 January 2019. Companies are 
permitted to early adopt the accounting standard.

The leases of the Group relate to properties rented by the PRSM group of 
companies, in terms of 10 year leases which expire on 30 September 2020.  
Due to the leases being in the latter part their respective terms, the 
audit committee and the board resolved that it would be appropriate to 
apply IFRS 16 fully retrospectively to allow for comparability with the 
historical results of the Group.

The adoption of IFRS 16 did not have a material effect on the trading 
results of the Group, but resulted in the recognition of additional 
assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position. The 
financial effects of adopting IFRS 16 with effect from 1 January 2018, 
with regard to the historical results for the year ended 31 December 2017 
are set out below:

The Group disclosed the financial effects of the adoption of IFRS 16 on 
its results for the year ended on 31 December 2017 in its interim 
results for the six months ended 30 June 2018, which was published on 
26 September 2018. The restated numbers for the year ended 
31 December 2017 were incorrect due to the approach followed in the 
calculation of the net present value of the future lease premiums and 
the consequent redemption of the lease liabilities. The redemption of 
the lease liability and the interest cost thereon were based on equal 
monthly payments instead of on the actual monthly lease payments.

The effect of the incorrect approach on the results of the Group for the 
year ended 31 December 2017, with the results published in the interim 
results announcement in September 2018 in the "Before" column and the 
correct results as per this announcement in the "After" column, can be 
summarised as follows:

The main effect of the incorrect approach was on the allocation between 
the lease liability, deferred tax liability and accumulated loss.

3. Goodwill
The goodwill arose from the acquisition of the remaining interests in 
Abalengani Mining Investments Proprietary Limited ("AMI") and JB Platinum 
Holdings Proprietary Limited ("JBPH") by the Company in 2010. AMI and JBPH 
respectively hold 49,63% and 33,96% in Kilken Platinum Proprietary Limited 
("Kilken") as their only investments.

A discounted cash flow ("DCF") model was constructed by management based 
on the value in use to determine the recoverable amount for the cash-
generating operations of the Kilken Imbani Joint Venture,in which Kilken 
is a 70% partner, using a discount rate of 17,6% (2017: 17,4%), based on 
the risk-free rate adjusted for market, sector and project-specific risks 
and an annual Platinum Group Metals ("PGM") production rate of 11 574 ounces 
(2017: 12 539 ounces) (extrapolated from historic production volumes). 
Forecast PGM metals prices and the USD/ZAR exchange rates were derived from 
a consensus forecast from reputable external market analysts. The DCF 
valuation model takes into account attributable net cash flows from the 
operation for 35 years, which is consistent with the industry standard 
for this type of valuation and is also consistent with the extended 
life-of-mine agreement in place with Rustenburg Platinum Mines ("RPM"). 
The tailings head feed is based on the average monthly feed received 
from the mine.

Production levels at the Kilken plant stabilized, operating costs have 
been controlled and the chrome content in the tailings have been reduced 
during the year under review. Commodity prices in Rand terms improved 
significantly during the year, which contributed to the improved 
performance of the business.

As at 31 December 2018 the updated DCF valuation resulted in an estimated 
recoverable amount of R85 million for the Group's effective interest 
in the cash generating unit and no further impairment was therefore 
required against goodwill.

4. Derivative financial liability
In 2012 Kilken entered into a hedge agreement for 30% of its cash flow 
from the production revenue of platinum, palladium and gold at the 
request of a financier in line with its funding requirements. The 
hedge was intended to mitigate the cash flow risk related to 
commodity price fluctuations and movements in the ZAR/USD exchange 
rate in order to repay the funding facility to the financier.

The cash flow hedge was recognised as a hedging instrument at fair 
value for the first time in the statement of financial position at 
31 December 2012, without taking account of any collateral held or 
other credit enhancements over the remainder of the hedge contract 
term which started on 1 September 2012 and expired on 
30 September 2018.

For the year ended 31 December 2018, a gain of R7,6 million 
(2017: R7,5 million) after deferred tax has been recognised in other 
comprehensive income and a decrease in the cash flow hedge reserve of 
R6,3 million, net of non-controlling interests, in the statement of 
financial position. The loss realised and netted off against the 
revenue was R8,8 million for the year ended 31 December 2018 
(2017: R13,2 million).

5. Borrowings
Total borrowings of the Group amounted to R388,9 million as at 
31 December 2018 compared to R387.5 million as at 31 December 2017, 
and can be summarised as follows:

                                                        2018        2017

Non-current liabilities                               34 448           -

The Reichmans facility to PRSM is an asset based and working capital 
facility, which is structured as a current facility, even though capital 
expenditure to acquire plant and equipment has been funded from this 
facility.

6.  Redeemable preference share capital
The Company and the preference shareholder mutually agreed to suspend 
the repayment of the redeemable preference share capital and the accrued 
preference dividends until at least 1 January 2022. The redeemable 
preference share capital and the accrued preference dividends are 
therefore classified as non-current liabilities.

7. Financial instruments
The Derivative financial liability was measured at fair value. The fair 
value of the derivative financial liability was a level 2 recurring 
fair value measurement and was obtained directly from the service 
provider, calculated as the present value of the estimated future 
cash flows based on the observable commodity prices and current 
exchange rates. Refer to note 4 above for more information on the cash 
flow hedge. 

All other financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortised 
cost which approximates their carrying values.

10. Events subsequent to the year-end
No events occurred subsequent to year-end up to the date of this 
announcement which could have a material effect on the results of the 
Group or its subsidiaries.

11. Going concern
The annual financial statements have been prepared on the basis of 
accounting policies applicable to a going concern. This basis presumes 
that funds will be available to finance future operations and that the 
realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities, contingent 
obligations and commitments will occur in the ordinary course of business.

The Group incurred a net loss for the year ended 31 December 2018 of 
R4,4 million and as at that date its current liabilities exceeded its 
current assets due to amongst other factors, the short-term nature of 
some of its debt facilities with financial institutions.

The Company and the preference shareholder have mutually agreed to 
suspend the repayment of the preference shares and the accrued dividends 
until at least 1 January 2022. The Group has access to sufficient 
financial facilities and cash resources to meet its obligations as and 
when they become due over the next twelve months. Both operating 
subsidiaries continue to service their borrowings and other financial 
obligations as and when they become due. The Directors are therefore 
satisfied with applying the going concern principle.

Nature of the business
The Company is an investment holding company with controlling interests 
in the group companies.

Directorate and company secretary
There were no changes to the board of directors during the past financial 
year. The current directors of the Company at the date of this report

Financial review
Kilken started the year with some challenges around production, chrome 
content and cost overruns, but this has improved significantly with 
production levels stabilizing, the chrome content being managed at 
more acceptable levels and costs being controlled. The increase in the 
Rand-based commodity prices, especially the palladium and rhodium 
prices, together with the final settlement of the cash flow hedge in 
September 2018, contributed to the improved revenue and results from 
this company.

PRSM experienced a tough year as construction activity remained 
subdued. 

Revenue decreased from R1,4 billion in 2017 to R1,3 billion in 2018, 
after accounting for the negative impact of the cash flow hedge, 
which reduced revenue by R8,8 million for the year (2017:R13,2 million).

Against this background, the Group posted a loss after tax of 
R4,4 million (2017: R11,7 million).

Overall debt levels showed a slight improvement from R435 million 
for 2017 to R431 million for 2018. PRSM debt levels increased from 
R339 million in 2017 to R347 million in 2018.

Kilken
Production levels stabilized during the second half of the year and 
costs were contained, which reduced the chrome content to more 
acceptable levels. The higher commodity prices in Rand terms, and the 
final settlement of the cash flow hedge in September 2018, contributed 
to the increased revenue and cash flow for the 2018 year.

The overall debt position of the company remained high as the company 
had to raise funding from other financiers to enable it to settle the 
Absa debt and cash flow hedge, but with the improved cash flows, the 
company should be able to start servicing the debt in the coming years.

The cash flow hedge expired in September 2018, which will have a 
significant positive impact on the results of Kilken Platinum going 
forward.

PRSM
The local market remained under pressure during the year under review, 
with limited construction activity as the political uncertainty continued 
to impact business confidence and investment in infrastructure and related 
projects. 

As a result, revenue decreased by 9% from 2017 to 2018.

Interest expense increased due to increased interest-bearing debt levels 
during the year.

Capital expenditure of R5.2 million was incurred during 2018 to replace 
old plant and equipment with newer technology which contributed to reduce 
production costs and improve profitability.

No major improvements in trading conditions are expected in 2019. The 
continued focus on cost management, plant upgrade and new customers and 
product ranges drive management's strategy to increase revenue and 
profitability.

The financial information on which the prospects are based has not been
reviewed or reported on by the Company's auditors.
