Executive review of our performance

Overview of the year
This has been one of the toughest years on record for the Group. Almost every sector served by the Group in South Africa
(from which the Group derives about 76% of its revenue), has been under severe economic pressure. The generally poor
economic conditions in South Africa, and months of uncertainty leading up to a general election in May 2019, contributed to
a general decline in demand for products across our product range.

It is therefore most pleasing to report that revenue for the Group increased by 5% to R10.450 billion. A number of acquisitions
were made during the year, which contributed R254 million to revenue. The challenging trading conditions resulted in a
decline in gross margin, whilst overheads increased due to take-on and rationalisation costs of acquisitions and once-off costs
of right sizing some existing underperforming businesses. As a result, operating profit declined from R839 million to R690 million.

The tax dispute with SARS was settled for R750 million during the year and has been fully provided for in the accounts, of
which R550 million was provided in prior years and R200 million in this year. R450 million of the settlement has been paid to
SARS to date and the balance is payable over the next 4 years.

Group performance
The operations comprise:

-   ESG (Engineering Solutions Group) - distributor of engineering products (bearings, belts, tools, electric motors,
    hydraulics), technical services and solutions.
-   CEG (Capital Equipment Group) - distributor of agricultural machinery, construction and earthmoving machinery, forklifts
    and related parts, including Kian Ann Engineering, which is based in Singapore.

Profit for the year grew by 21% to R229 million with basic earnings per share up 62% and headline earnings per share up 93%.
The interest received/paid and dividends received from financial investments have reduced substantially in the year under
review due to the settlement of financial transactions.

The Group has reassessed the accounting treatment of the repurchase of agency distribution rights agreements within the
ESG operations and the amortization of intangible assets primarily related to these rights. This has resulted in the restatement
of financial information in the prior periods. The comparative financial information has accordingly been restated and is
detailed in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

ESG
Revenue grew by 15% to R5.238 billion, of which R254 million came from acquisitions during the year. Trading conditions were
challenging, with the significant sectors which are serviced by ESG (mining, manufacturing, agriculture, general industry,
construction) all experiencing headwinds during the year. These market conditions presented good acquisition opportunities,
which ESG took advantage of. The acquisition of the Forge Industrial Group, which operates mainly in the Tool and Belting
sectors of the economy, and the Driveshafts Parts business, operating in South Africa and Poland in the replacement drive
shaft parts sectors, were concluded during the year. A total investment of R331 million was made in these businesses. The tool
business was amalgamated with ESG's Mandirk (tool) business, but major restructuring was required to turn the business
around. The turnaround strategy has, unfortunately, taken longer than expected to implement, but the combined tool business
is expected to be profitable during the first quarter of the new financial year. The other core businesses in ESG have
grown and the first phase of the consolidation and rationalisation of the logistics operations at BMG World are finally being
completed and bedded down.

CEG
CEG revenue declined by 5% to R4.831 billion largely due to an overall decline in demand. The sectors serviced by CEG -
agricultural machinery, construction machinery and the forklift sector - all experienced a significant decline in unit sales and
gross margin in South Africa, due to the prevailing market conditions. CEG's focus on annuity type business gave it protection
and the improved contribution from Kian Ann Engineering Group (based in Singapore) helped CEG to limit its decline in
segment operating profit before interest on financing transactions and foreign exchange movements to 17%. CEG has
managed to maintain its market shares in South Africa and has once again managed to contain costs and generate cash.

Strategic focus and prospects
Trading conditions have settled since the elections in May 2019, but they still remain challenging. Management expects the
coming year to be more positive than the year under review, but anticipates a slow return to growth. Management will focus
on bedding down acquisitions, prioritising cash generation and return on equity.

Changes to the board and board committees
Ms. N Rajmohamed was appointed as the Group Financial Director effective 1 July 2018. Mr. LR Sherrell was appointed to the
audit committee on a temporary basis with effect from 16 November 2018. The board is in the process of appointing a new
independent non-executive director to serve on the audit committee, which will bring its composition back in line with the
recommendations of King IV. Ms. R Naidoo resigned effective 25 September 2018 as an independent non-executive director.
There have been no further changes to the board or the membership of its committees.

Dividend policy
In light of the tax settlement and the resultant higher gearing in the group, the board has resolved not to declare a final
dividend. It is anticipated that the normal dividend policy (of a total dividend cover ratio of 3.5 times at interim results adjusted
to 2.75 times at year-end) will be resumed once cash flows and gearing permit.

Appreciation
The board is once again highly appreciative to the executive management, the respective management teams of our
businesses and most importantly all the staff, for the excellent commitment and performance in what can only be described
as difficult and uncertain economic times.
The board is confident that, with the strengths the Group possesses and the strategic plans, the Group will continue to
deliver sustainable value to all stakeholders going forward.

Approval
The provisional reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group were authorised for issue in accordance
with a resolution of the directors on 23 June 2019.

are in terms of IFRS and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the most recent Annual Financial
Statements, except for restatement in note 8 and the changes in accounting policies listed below.

2.Prepared by
These provisional reviewed condensed consolidated results have been prepared under the supervision of Ms. Nazlee
Rajmohamed CA (SA), the Group Financial Director.

3.Changes in accounting policies
The Group has applied both IFRS 9 'Financial instruments' and IFRS 15 'Revenue from contracts with customers' using the
modified retrospective approach, by recognising the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 as an
adjustment to the opening balance of equity at 1 April 2018. Therefore, the comparative financial information has not been
restated and continues to be reported under IAS 18 'Revenue' and IAS 39 'Financial instruments'.

IFRS 9 Financial instruments

Impact of adopting new standard
The most significant impact of IFRS 9 has been the change to the group's policies regarding the measurement of the
impairment of trade debtors. The impairment for trade receivables is now measured using an expected credit loss ('ECL')
model using the simplified approach instead of an incurred loss model. ECLs are calculated using a provision matrix, which
applies a historic loss ratio to the aged balance of trade receivables at each reporting date. In instances where there was
no evidence of historical write-offs, management's judgement is applied to assess potential write-offs. The historic loss
ratio is also adjusted for forward-looking information to determine the lifetime ECL for the portfolio of trade receivables,
this includes taking into account factors such as inflation, the debtors' reputation, the market the debtors' operates in.
Furthermore, financial investments (FirstRand Bank listed bonds) previously measured at fair value through profit and loss
are now measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the classification of the remaining financial assets
and liabilities has remained unchanged.

The table below is a summary the impact of the transition to IFRS 9 on the opening balance of retained earnings as at
1 April 2018. The adjustment to retained income is due to the change in the accounting policy for impairing financial assets.


Impact of adopting IFRS 9 at 1 April 2018 (R'000)
Increase in expected credit loss                                         (5 589)
Decrease in retained earnings                                            (5 589)


IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers

Impact of adopting new standard
The adoption of IFRS 15 has had an insignificant impact on the Group, as the Group does not sell products based on
multiple-element arrangements or on a provisional or variable pricing basis.

IFRS 16 Leases
The Group anticipates a material change as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16 'Leases' from 1 April 2019 using the modified
retrospective approach. The material change relates to the capitalising of leased properties (branches), vehicles and
equipment onto the balance sheet in the form of a right of use asset, together with the corresponding lease liability.
Changes to the Statement of profit or loss will result in the current operating lease costs being replaced by an amortisation
of the right-of-use asset and calculated lease finance costs on the interest line. Other areas of the statutory metrics that
will be impacted by the adoption of the standard include operating profit, EBITDA, earnings per share and derived KPIs.
We will provide first time disclosure in the publication of our 2019 annual financial statements.

4.Events after the reporting date
There were no events to report on after the reporting period to the date of this report.

7.Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses
The current year acquisitions detailed below were acquired by the Group, as they are complementary to existing segments
in the Group, thus the board identified these operations based on their ability to assist the Group with its expansion and
growth. The goodwill recognised is based on the final fair values of the assets and liabilities, including identifiable intangible
assets at acquisition date. Goodwill arose on these acquisitions because the cost of these combinations included a control
premium. In addition, the consideration paid for these combinations effectively included amounts in relation to the benefit
of expected synergies, revenue growth and future market development. These benefits are not recognised separately from
goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets.

8. Restatement
We have reconsidered our accounting with respect to the reacquired agency rights and related contracts, as well as the
amortisation period of other intangible assets. The reassessed accounting for the contracts resulted in the recognition of
current liabilities which were previously considered to be discretionary and partly net accounted in receivables. Previously
the reacquired agency rights were amortised over a period of 15 years, whilst certain distribution agreements, trademarks
and brands and contractual and non-contractual customer relationships were amortised over a period of 10 - 27 years.
The Group's accounting policy prescribes that the reacquired agency rights should be amortised over the remaining

were no deferred taxation implications. The correction to the accounting treatment is effective for the year ended 31
March 2019 and has been applied retrospectively. This has therefore resulted in a restatement of the comparative 2018
and 2017 periods. The aggregate effect of the restatement for these periods is as follows:

The correction of the above results in adjustments as follows:

10.Fair value disclosure
The following is an analysis of the financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value. They
are grouped into levels 1 to 3 based on the extent to which the fair value is observable.

The levels are classified as follows:

Level 1 - fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities
Level 2 - fair value is determined using directly observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs
Level 3 - fair value is determined on inputs not based on observable market data

Ordinary share cash dividend
In light of the tax settlement and the resultant higher gearing in the group, the board has resolved not to declare a final dividend.
It is anticipated that the normal dividend policy (of a total dividend cover ratio of 3.5 times at interim results adjusted to 2.75
times at year-end) will be resumed once cash flow and gearing permit.
