Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of 
the JSE Limited Listings Requirements for provisional reports and the requirements of the Companies 
Act of South Africa. The Listings Requirements require provisional 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 
condensed consolidated financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those 
applied in the previous consolidated annual financial statements, except for the implementation of 
IFRS 9: Financial Instruments and IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Details of the
implementation of these standards are disclosed in note 19.

The financial statements have been prepared under the supervision of the Chief Financial Officer 
('CFO'), PGS de Wit CA(SA).

Introduction
The group continues to deliver satisfactory results supported by its diversification strategy
despite very difficult trading conditions experienced by the Construction Materials businesses.
The political uncertainty and economic slowdown experienced during the last quarter of the previous 
financial year continued during the current year and impacted the Construction Materials businesses 
the most. The Bulk Commodities segment, consisting of the Demaneng iron ore mine, contributed 
positively to the group results, which offset the lower performance of the Construction Materials 
businesses. The Industrial Minerals segment performance was slightly down after a slow first half of 
the year and a better second half.

Financial results
Headline earnings per share grew by 29,6% from 180,7 cents to 234,1 cents per share. Industrial 
mineral producing operations across all regions as well as the iron ore business were the main 
contributors to the satisfactory results.

Net cash from operating activities increased by 46,4% to R410,5 million (excluding once-off
employee-related accruals of R79,5 million, in relation to the Afrimat BEE Trust, paid in the prior
year), which resulted in a decrease of the net debt:equity ratio from 35,5% in the prior year to
23,8% in the current year. Goodwill in Afrimat Concrete Products Proprietary Limited, in 
KwaZulu-Natal/Free State, to the amount of R20,5 million was impaired during the year. Further
changes to goodwill relate to the finalisation of the purchase price allocation of Afrimat Demaneng 
Proprietary Limited ('Demaneng').

Operational review
All operating units remain strategically positioned to deliver excellent service to the group's
customers, whilst acting as an efficient hedge against volatile local business conditions. The
product range is well diversified to include aggregates and concrete-based products as
construction materials and limestone, dolomite and silica as industrial minerals as well as iron
ore as bulk commodities.

Labour relations continued to be satisfactory during the period under review, with no labour
action having occurred during the year. The group remains committed to creating and sustaining
harmonious relationships in the workplace and addressing issues proactively.

The Bulk Commodities segment, consisting of the Demaneng iron ore mine, delivered an exceptional 
contribution to the group results. The business completed the recommissioning of both its dense 
media separation ('DMS') plants during the first half of the year and completed the expansion of 
the load-out facility, reaching stable production volumes during the second half of the year. 
The business also experienced favourable pricing towards the latter part of the current year.

Industrial Minerals businesses across all regions delivered solid results, although the impact of
the economic slow down in the construction sector was experienced by the Lyttelton mine.

The Construction Materials segment felt the brunt of the slowdown in economic activity, with
the KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng businesses being impacted the most. The KwaZulu-Natal
business successfully completed a restructuring process during the year in order to improve the
business. The Western Cape aggregates business continued to deliver solid results. In
Mozambique, the business mainly supplied construction materials to a resettlement village in
the north of the country. The Emfuleni Clinker Ash Dump, situated in Vereeniging and close to
Afrimat's customers, will ensure an additional three to four-year lifespan for both Clinker
Supplies Proprietary Limited ('Clinker') and SA Block Proprietary Limited. Clinker continues to
investigate further options in order to secure additional resources for the group.

Business development
New business development remains a key component of the group's growth strategy. The dedicated 
business development team continues to successfully identify and pursue opportunities in 
existing markets, as well as in anticipated new high growth areas in southern Africa.

Afrimat announced on 8 April 2019 that the company has made a non-binding indicative offer
('NBIO') to purchase the entire issued share capital of Universal Coal plc ('Universal'), a
company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, with operations in South Africa, for a
maximum purchase price of A$0,40 for each Universal share held. The NBIO is subject to
various conditions precedent, including the completion of a due diligence by the company, the
finalisation of financing arrangements and board and shareholder approval in respect of the
proposed transaction.

The due diligence on Universal is currently in progress.

For further details, refer to the SENS announcement published by the company on 8 April 2019.

B-BBEE
Existing BEE shareholders and the Afrimat BEE Trust in aggregate hold 32,6% of Afrimat's
issued shares.

Notwithstanding the fully empowered ownership platform in line with the Mining Charter
requirements, the group remains dedicated to enhancing all aspects of B-BBEE on an ongoing
basis. Afrimat is committed to a bottom-up approach to transformation and has had a successful
year in terms of sustained training, skills development and all-round employee upliftment.

Dividend
The group's dividend policy is to maintain a 2,75 times dividend cover. A final dividend of 62,0
cents per share (2018: 42,0 cents) for the year was declared on 22 May 2019. The dividend
payable to shareholders who are subject to dividend tax is 49,6 cents per share (2018: 33,6
cents per share). Total dividends for the year amount to 81,0 cents per share (2018: 62,0 cents
per share).

Prospects
The group is well positioned to capitalise on its strategic initiatives. It foresees continued growth
from an excellent asset base, and expects further expansion of its range of unique products.
The continuation of selective acquisitions is expected to deliver good results.

Operational efficiency initiatives aimed at expanding volumes, reducing costs and developing the 
required skill levels across all employees, remains a key focus in all operations.

Afrimat expects the current business climate to continue with the group's future growth driven by
the successful execution of its proven strategy, recent acquisitions and a wider product offering
to the market.

Notes

1.  Segment information
    The segments of the group have been identified by business segment. Operating segments are 
    reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating 
    decision-maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources 
    and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the executive 
    directors. Aggregation of segments has been determined on the basis of product outputs with 
    similar attributes; by considering the nature of products and services, production processes and 
    the type of class of customer for the products and services.

    At 1 March 2018, the executive committee, being the chief decision-making body, amended the basis 
    upon which the various businesses within the group are reported as a result of changes to the 
    executive management of the group. This aligned into three main operational pillars with five 
    segments being allocated to these pillars, based on the market use of products.

    Industrial Minerals, previously reflected within the Aggregates segment, is separately disclosed. 
    The rationale for the change was that over the years the Industrial Minerals business has become 
    an integral contributor to the group and serves a different market to Construction Materials.

    The principal services and products of each of these segments are as follows:
    - Construction Materials: Comprises Aggregates, Concrete-Based Products and Contracting 
      operations;
    - Industrial Minerals: Comprises limestone, dolomite and industrial sand (previously included 
      within the Aggregates segment); and
    - Bulk Commodities: Iron Ore.

    After performing the annual goodwill impairment test of Afrimat Concrete Products Proprietary 
    Limited, it was determined that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value, 
    resulting in a R20,5 million goodwill impairment. This is mainly due to the reduction in sales 
    volumes as a result of small medium enterprises entering the market adding to the level of
    competition.

5.  Income tax expense
    The effective tax rate of the group increased from 24,2% to 27,8% in the current year. This was 
    mainly due to the quantum of income tax deducted from expenditure actually incurred in settlement 
    of the shares exercised in the Share Appreciation Rights Scheme as well as the reversal of 
    previously raised deferred tax assets in Delf Sand Proprietary Limited and Afrimat Silica 
    Proprietary Limited. Included in the available income tax losses of R531,1 million 
    (2018: R522,1 million) are tax losses of R73,9 million (2018: R32,8 million), which are available 
    for set-off against future taxable income but not raised due to the improbability of the 
    realisation of related tax benefits. Furthermore, the available income tax losses include a tax 
    loss of R345,3 million (2018: R340,5 million) relating to Afrimat Demaneng Proprietary Limited, 
    also not raised due to pre-acquisition tax losses not acknowledged.

6.  Currency translation differences
    Foreign currency transactions relating to the Mozambique operations are translated into the 
    presentation currency (ZAR or R) by means of translating assets and liabilities at the closing 
    rate at the date of the statement of financial position and income and expenses at average 
    exchange rates for the year and recognising all resulting exchange differences in other 
    comprehensive income. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the 
    group's net investment in the Mozambique operations are recognised in other comprehensive income, 
    whilst all other translations including those on short-term receivables, are recognised in 
    profit or loss.

          In the prior year, the group financed debt included in the general bank facilities into a 
          R300,0 million amortising five-year term facility with SBSA and FNB, bearing interest 
          linked to the three-month Jibar rate and payable in quarterly instalments commencing 
          30 November 2017.
  
          During the current year an amount equal to R60,0 million of the original R300,0 million 
          facility commitment, which had previously been repaid by the company, was redrawn. On the 
          last repayment date of the year, the group prepaid an amount of R100,0 million to the 
          five-year term facility, from internally generated cash flows.
  
          During the current year, the group financed plant and machinery with SBSA to fund capital 
          expenditure and working capital requirements to support the growth and expansion of the 
          group. The financed plant and machinery was purchased in preceding years and would have 
          been included in the 'additions' of those respective years. A vehicle asset facility of 
          R109,6 million over 36 months at prime rate minus 1,15% repayable in monthly instalments 
          of capital and interest, was agreed upon for this purpose.

    trust received their respective consideration net of liabilities and ceased to be participants 
    under the current BEE scheme. This liability exists due to an amount owing to beneficiaries whom 
    could not be traced, mostly deceased individuals. Afrimat is in the process of tracking these 
    beneficiaries to ensure payment occurs timeously.

    On 22 August 2017, the group announced on SENS that Afrimat had concluded a sale of shares and 
    claims agreement with the minorities of Afrimat Demaneng Proprietary Limited and Diro Iron Ore 
    Proprietary Limited ('Demaneng') to acquire the remaining 40% stake in Demaneng as from 
    15 August 2017. The purchase consideration of R44,0 million was payable in nine tranches as 
    follows: eight monthly instalments of R5,0 million per month for eight consecutive months 
    commencing 15 August 2017; and R4,0 million in one final instalment. The deferred liability was 
    repaid during the current year.

12. Acquisition of businesses
    Afrimat Demaneng Proprietary Limited and Diro Iron Ore Proprietary Limited ('Demaneng')
    In the prior year, the group acquired 60% of the issued shares of Demaneng, as well as a cession 
    and delegation agreement with Investec Limited to purchase all of its security. On 13 July 2017, 
    all conditions precedent, including section 11 approval from the Department of Mineral Resources 
    ('DMR'), were fulfilled and the agreement became unconditional. On 22 August 2017, the group
    announced on SENS that Afrimat had concluded a sale of shares and claims agreement with the 
    minorities of Demaneng to acquire the remaining 40% stake in Demaneng from 15 August 2017 for an 
    aggregate purchase consideration of R44,0 million. The acquisition complemented and augmented 
    Afrimat's product offering and further expanded its footprint across South Africa. Given the 
    nature of Demaneng's reserves and the access to infrastructure, together with Afrimat's existing 
    competencies, the transaction allows the ability to leverage the combined strengths which 
    resulted in developing new revenue opportunities for Afrimat in the iron ore space.

    Details of the acquisition are as follows:

       at the acquisition date, by R55,9 million in the process of finalising the accounting for this 
       business combination.

15. Events after reporting date
    Subsequent to the reporting date, the company made a non-binding indicative offer ('NBIO') to 
    purchase the entire issued share capital of Universal Coal plc ('Universal'), a company listed 
    on the Australian Stock Exchange, with operations in South Africa, for a maximum purchase price 
    of A$0,40 for each Universal share held. The NBIO is subject to various conditions precedent, 
    including the completion of a due diligence by the company, the finalisation of financing 
    arrangements and board and shareholder approval in respect of the proposed transaction.

16. Contingencies
    Guarantees to the value of R73,7 million (2018: R87,5 million) were supplied by SBSA to various 
    parties, including the DMR and Eskom, respectively during the year under review.

    Guarantees to the value of R25,1 million (2018: R73,9 million) were supplied by FNB to various 
    parties, including the DMR and Eskom, respectively during the year under review.

    Guarantees to the value of R1,6 million (2018: R1,6 million) by Lombard's Insurance Group, 
    R0,9 million (2018: R0,5 million) by ABSA, R116,6 million (2018: R94,2 million) by Centriq 
    Insurance Innovation and R2,7 million (2018: R2,7 million) by SIG Guarantee Acceptances 
    Proprietary Limited were supplied to various parties, including the DMR, Eskom and Chevron 
    South Africa Proprietary Limited.

    The majority of these guarantees are in respect of environmental rehabilitation and will only 
    be payable in the event of default by the group.

    A contingent liability exists due to the uncertain timing of cash flows with regards to future 
    local economic development ('LED') commitments made to the DMR in respect of companies with 
    mining rights. These commitments are dependent on the realisation of the future agreed upon 
    LED projects. Future commitments amount to R8,3 million (2018: R10,3 million). An accrual has 
    been raised in respect of commitments made up to the end of the year.

    The company received notice on 31 March 2017 from the Competition Commissioner that it had 
    referred a complaint to the Competition Tribunal ('Tribunal'), alleging that the company, 
    through its wholly owned subsidiary, Clinker Supplies Proprietary Limited ('Clinker'), has 
    engaged in an abuse of dominance by allegedly charging excessive prices. After taking legal 
    advice and considering the complaint, the company is of the opinion that
    there is no merit to the complaint and will therefore vigorously defend itself before the 
    Tribunal. The Competition Commission is ordering an administrative penalty equal to 10% of 
    affected turnover for F2016 which equates to R16,3 million. The company awaits a final hearing 
    date to be set by the Tribunal.

    The company received notice on 27 February 2019 from the South African Revenue Service ('SARS'), 
    in terms of which SARS demands payment of R74,3 million from Afrimat Demaneng Proprietary Limited 
    ('Demaneng'). The company submits that the debts owed to SARS prior to the commencement of 
    business rescue proceedings have been settled in full as envisaged in the business rescue plan. 
    On 13 March 2019, the company requested SARS to permanently write off the outstanding balance, 
    in accordance with the provisions of section 197 and section 198 of the Tax Administration Act. 
    After taking legal advice and considering the claim, the company is of the opinion that there is 
    no merit to the claim and will therefore vigorously defend itself against SARS. The probability 
    of outflow is remote and no liability has been raised.

    Operating lease payments represent rentals payable by the group for quarries, other premises, 
    motor vehicles and equipment. Certain leases carry standard escalation clauses in line with 
    inflation. The lease terms are between one and five years, and the majority of lease agreements 
    are renewable at the end of the lease period at market rates. All rental agreements exceeding 
    five years have a notice period of six months and therefore not disclosed above.

    The group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses 
    a lifetime expected loss allowance for all receivables. This resulted in an increase of the loss 
    allowance on 1 March 2018 by R10,8 million for the loan owing by joint venture. The loss allowance 
    increased by a further R8,9 million during the current year.

19. New and amended accounting standards
    New and amended standards adopted by the group
    A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period and the 
    group changed its accounting policies. The group applied the modified retrospective approach in 
    adopting the following standards:
    - IFRS 9: Financial Instruments; and
    - IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

    The impact of the adoption of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 is presented below.

    Standard    Subject
    IFRS 15     Revenue from Contracts with Customers

    The group adopted IFRS 15 from 1 March 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method and 
    has therefore not restated the comparatives for FY2018. In terms of IFRS 15 revenue is recognised 
    based on the satisfaction of specifically identified performance obligations, when control of goods 
    or services transfers to a customer.

    Presentation of assets and revenue related to bulk commodities sales:
    - The group's sales of bulk commodities are provisionally priced. At the point of recognition of 
      revenue, Afrimat Demaneng Proprietary Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Afrimat Limited, 
      estimates the amount and recognises the revenue at the best estimate (three-month forward looking 
      rate is considered to be the best estimate) of the amount expected to be received. In terms of 
      the agreement with Kumba International Trading S.A.R.L, the commodity prices used in the 
      calculation of the revenue of bulk commodities are based on the average daily prices during the 
      month prior to the relevant month of delivery.
    - Previously the receivable was fair valued when the price was fixed at the end of the third month. 
      The fair value adjustment was recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as an 
      adjustment to revenue.
    - The fair value changes due to market variability (that is changes in the commodity prices and 
      exchange rates) are not in the scope of IFRS 15 and can therefore not be
      presented as revenue from contracts with customers. These movements are accounted for as other 
      revenue and disclosed separately from revenue from contracts with customers.
    - Although there has been a change in the presentation and disclosure of other revenue within the 
      revenue note, no measurement change is relevant and therefore no impact on opening retained income.
  
    Standard    Subject
    IFRS 9      Financial Instruments

    IFRS 9 replaces the multiple classification and measurement models in IAS 39: Financial 
    Instruments: Recognition and measurement with a single model that has initially only two 
    classification categories: amortised cost and fair value and introduces new rules for hedge 
    accounting and a new impairment model for financial assets.

    The group adopted IFRS 9 from 1 March 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method 
    and therefore comparative figures have not been restated.

    (i) Classification and measurement
        The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is based on the business model in which 
        a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. On 1 March 2018, 
        management assessed which business models applied to each of the financial assets held by the 
        group and has classified these financial instruments in the appropriate IFRS 9 categories.

        - A component of the group's equity instruments that were previously classified as available-
          for-sale satisfied the conditions for classification as at fair value through other 
          comprehensive income ('FVOCI');
        - Equity instruments previously measured at fair value through profit or loss ('FVPL') will 
          continue to be measured on the same basis under IFRS 9; and
        - The majority of the group's debt instruments that were previously classified as loans and 
          receivables at amortised cost satisfied the conditions for classification as financial 
          assets measured at amortised cost.
    
          The effects of this reclassification is presented below:

    1.  Reclassification from available-for-sale to FVPL
        Investments in insurance policies of R18,0 million were reclassified from available-for-sale 
        assets to financial assets at FVPL. No related fair value gains were transferred from other 
        reserves to retained earnings.

    2.  Reclassification from loans and receivables to FVPL
        Provisionally priced receivables related to the sale of bulk commodities were measured at 
        FVPL from the date of recognition up until date of settlement, as it fails the amortised cost 
        requirement of cash flows representing solely payment of principal and interest. Previously 
        these receivables were disclosed as loans and receivables.

  (ii)  Impairment of financial assets
        IFRS 9 replaced the incurred credit losses model in IAS 39 with a forward-looking expected 
        credit loss ('ECL') model to calculate impairments of financial assets. It was applied to 
        financial assets classified at amortised cost, lease receivables and loan commitments. In 
        assessing the impairment that should be raised under the ECL model on these financial assets, 
        credit enhancements such as insurance held against loans and receivables were taken into 
        account in the ECL model.

   (a)  Trade and other receivables
        The increase in the impairment provision from the incurred loss model to ECL amounted to 
        R10,8 million (net of taxation) relating to loans to the group's joint venture on 
        1 March 2018 upon adoption of IFRS 9.

        The adjustment of the loss allowance for trade and other receivables
        on transition to IFRS 9 was found to be immaterial.

   (b)  Cash and cash equivalents
        While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, 
        the identified impairment loss was immaterial.
    
                                                                   28 February

 (iii)  Financial liabilities
        There was no impact on the group's accounting for financial liabilities, as the new 
        requirements only affected the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at 
        fair value through profit or loss and the group does not have any such liabilities.
        
        Impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the group

        Standard     Subject
        IFRS 16      Leases

        IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016. It will result in almost all leases being recognised on 
        the balance sheet, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under 
        the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to 
        pay rentals are recognised. The only exceptions are short-term and low-value leases.

        The accounting of lessors will not significantly change.

        The standard will affect primarily the accounting for the group's operating leases. As at 
        the reporting date, the group has non-cancellable operating lease commitments of 
        R33,5 million, refer to note 17. The group estimates that approximately 20% to 22% of these 
        relate to payments for short-term and low-value leases which will be recognised on a 
        straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss.

        The group has assessed the affect of the difference in treatment of variable lease payments 
        and the extension and termination options. The estimate of the effect of the adoption of the 
        new standard is as follows:

                                                                                                 R'000
        Property, plant and equipment                                                           16 885
        Lease liability                                                                        (21 150)
        Retained earnings (opening balance)                                                      4 265

        Mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2019. The group will apply 
        the new standard on 1 March 2019. The group intends to apply the simplified approach which 
        means that the cumulative impact of the adoption will be recognised in retained earnings as 
        of 1 March 2019 and that the comparatives will not be restated.

        There are no other standards that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a 
        material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable 
        future transactions.

20. Comparative information
    Certain comparative figures were inaccurately reflected and have been reclassified. The 
    classification error had no impact on the profit for the year, neither the statement of 
    financial position.

    Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
    The misstatement related to the recording of freight and shipping for all foreign sales in 
    Demaneng to the landing port. Foreign sales in Demaneng are made on a free-on-board basis and 
    risks and rewards pass at the loading  port. The company has however previously recorded freight 
    and shipping to the landing port and recorded a corresponding amount in cost of sales. The 
    company had no obligation to deliver to the landing port.

    The effect of the reclassification is as follows:

                                                                            28 February 2018
                                                             
                                                               As originally    Reclassi-
                                                                   presented     fication     Restated
                                                                       R'000        R'000        R'000

                                                                                        -
