REVIEWED PROVISIONAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR THE 12 MONTHS ENDED 31  
MARCH 2010                                                                      
COMMENTARY & OVERVIEW                                                           
Although the past year has been filled with challenges, we                      
believe that ChemSpec has emerged victorious with a world                       
class production facility capable of several times our                          
previous output and a restructured management team more                         
than capable of meeting our objectives and targets.                             
We have completed the relocation of our factories to our                        
new Canelands facility and through this consolidation we                        
have enjoyed numerous synergistic savings and have also                         
eliminated the double handling of inventories between                           
sites. Yet, possibly the single biggest advantage is the                        
improved management control of having all operations                            
accessible on one site.                                                         
In addition to the increase in physical tank capacities,                        
we have been able to further increase output by reducing                        
the handling process of raw materials through a network of                      
pipes connecting our bulk holding tanks directly to the                         
points of manufacture. Coupled with this we have                                
introduced additional horizontal Netzsch mills to replace                       
our old technology sand mills. This has effectively reduced the grind time on   
some pigments by two shifts anddramatically improved the quality of the end     
product.                                                                        
Further capital projects have been undertaken in the                            
Canelands facility to enhance both the performance and                          
efficiency of the facility and to ensure a well managed                         
environment and reduced cost structure.                                         
This year we have split our five sales divisions namely                         
ChemSpec Sales, ChemSpec Export, Paint and Abrasive, House                      
of Paint and House of Paint Franchises to create a more                         
focused retail strategy, individually targeting the                             
specific market sectors and, by doing so, aim to                                
dramatically improve service delivery to the diverse range                      
of end users.                                                                   
In addition we have strengthened the ability of both our                        
local and off-shore businesses to meet the demands of the                       
market by employing experienced people in key positions to                      
take advantage of growth opportunities in these markets.                        
The insurance claim relating to the fire at Jaco place is                       
in the process of being resolved. There has been no                             
repudiation of the claim nor has there been any change in                       
the basis of the claim from what has previously been                            
reported. However, due to the complex nature of the claim                       
and the time it is taking to receive a cash settlement,                         
the directors have deemed it prudent not to provide for                         
the receipt of the claim in the current financial year.                         
The effect of the delayed settlement of the insurance                           
claim has impacted on our free cash flow and the ability                        
to grow the business. As a result of the cash flow                              
challenges that we have faced, the company has undertaken a                     
rights issue to raise the necessary funding from the                            
shareholders to ensure that there is adequate working                           
capital in the business. We anticipate the rights issue to                      
be fully subscribed and we expect R100 million to flow                          
into the business in the short term. The combined effect                        
of the rights issue and the settlement of the insurance                         
claim will enable the company to reduce its most expensive                      
debt and to place the business into a positive cash flow                        
position with the necessary reserves to achieve strong                          
growth in the year ahead.                                                       
The building blocks for the group`s success have always                         
been a passion for innovation, a culture of accountability                      
and a consistent channel for open communication. A                              
continuing commitment to these factors has given the group                      
boldness to compete with some of the largest chemical                           
companies in the world.                                                         
We continue to develop and produce product ranges that                          
feature more innovative use of latest technologies, and                         
our quality is truly world class. It is a tribute to team                       
effort that we have emerged from the above challenges with                      
a more dedicated and focused strategy for the future. We                        
are enthusiastic and optimistic for the year ahead and are                      
also confident that our working capital will be more than                       
adequate and our factory capacity and personnel skills                          
sufficient to meet the growing demand for our products as                       
well as the expectations of our stakeholders.                                   
FINANCIAL AND TRADING PERFORMANCE                                               
Turnover decreased by 36% from the comparable period,                           
unadjusted for the effects of the insurance claim for loss                      
of profits. However, we are confident that the inflow of                        
cash to the business as a result of the rights issue and                        
the pending settlement of the insurance claim will allow                        
the company to grow rapidly and regain significant market                       
share.                                                                          
The strategic direction of the business has been to                             
enhance our product offering in the automotive refinish                         
market both locally and internationally. The group`s                            
gross profit percentage has improved to 43% from 40%                            
mainly as a result of the change in our product mix to the                      
predominant automotive refinish segment. This segment continues to be the       
group`s key area of focus and the success of this strategy reflects in our      
results and is particularly highlighted during this period of recession.        
The group continues to generate strong cash flows from                          
operating activities. However, the continued development                        
of the Canelands facility was funded out of working                             
capital. This was offset to some extent by the sale of the                      
Canelands property, net of the settlement of the mortgage                       
loan secured against this property. The net cash position                       
was adversely affected by extremely difficult trading                           
conditions.                                                                     
Revenue continues to be driven by our automotive refinish                       
segment. Even under tough trading conditions the other                          
segments held their markets reasonably well, considering                        
the reduced production capacity as automotive production                        
took precedence over these lines at the industrial and                          
wood finish plant.                                                              
Trading results show the impact of the group`s strategy to                      
expand its product offering into the global market and to                       
grow its international presence, with revenue from external international       
customers growing from 26% of total group turnover to 39%.                      
JACO PLACE FIRE                                                                 
As disclosed in the company`s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2009    
that a fire had occurred at the                                                 
company`s Jaco Place facility in Durban on 11 February                          
2009.                                                                           
This severely affected production capacity. As a result of                      
this, the company accelerated the building of the new                           
facility at Canelands.                                                          
During the building phase there was reduced production                          
capacity which impacted on sales. However, the company has                      
created a world class manufacturing facility with several                       
times more capacity and includes the latest technology in                       
manufacturing equipment. Further thereto, the directors                         
remain confident of the Group`s growth prospects.                               
In the company`s interim results for the sixth months                           
ending 30 September 2009, it was stated that directors                          
were virtually certain that the claims would be settled by                      
the insurers. The company`s insurance claims, as they then                      
stood, were taken to book and the claims accounted for as                       
other income of R52,848,814 in the company`s interim                            
results for the six months ending 30 September 2009. At                         
the time the directors were confident that the claim would                      
be settled by year end. Immediately prior to year end the                       
company had accrued R90,316,215 in other income. The claim                      
remains under negotiation and until finalised, the                              
directors are of the view that no amount should be taken                        
to account in the full year results. Accordingly, the                           
claim taken to income has been reversed.                                        
CANELANDS                                                                       
The sale and leaseback of the Canelands property was                            
completed during the year and the transfer of the property                      
was effected on 16 February 2010.                                               
PROSPECTS                                                                       
The creation of new capacity at the Canelands facility                          
together with the inflow of cash from the rights issue                          
will put the company in a strong position to take                               
advantage of growth opportunities in the market.                                
The company is focussed on regaining customers lost as a                        
result of the inability to meet the demand from these                           
customers over the past year as well as increasing sales                        
to existing customers. There will be significant focus on                       
the retail strategy to grow the business through both                           
franchise and company owned stores. This strategy will                          
be supported by ongoing marketing initiatives to enhance                        
and grow the reputation of the company brands.                                  
The export market will receive additional focus through                         
the appointment of a business unit manager to grow the                          
Africa and Middle East business. The improvement in stock                       
levels will enable us to better service and grow our                            
existing international markets through regular supply of                        
good quality product. In addition we continue to explore                        
export opportunities to new markets as well as new                              
customers in existing markets.                                                  
Organic growth is expected through our automotive refinish                      
products, specifically our product offerings of our                             
premium brands Metalux and Hydrolux, both of which are now                      
expected to make strong gains internationally through                           
improved distribution channels and focus on the refinisher                      
to ensure system adherence. There is also a move towards                        
low VOC environmentally friendly paint systems in the                           
international markets, and this will result in further                          
gains for Hydrolux.                                                             
The group`s premium product ranges are excellently                              
complemented by our extensive colour documentation and                          
retrieval system. We are internationally recognised as                          
having one of the best value brand offerings in the world                       
today.                                                                          
DIRECTORS

Bruce MacKinnon has been appointed as Group Managing                            
Director with effect from 10 May 2010. Bruce was                                
previously the Group Financial Director.                                        
We believe that together with the recent appointments, the                      
board is well structured with sufficient knowledge and                          
experience to meet the future challenges facing the                             
business.

Due to the demand for working capital to fund both local                        
and international growth, and the strategy to repay                             
expensive short term debt which will utilize the cash from                      
the rights issue and pending settlement of the insurance                        
claim, no dividend has been declared for this financial                         
period.

The directors would like to thank the management and staff                      
of the group for their hard work and dedication during the                      
period, as well as shareholders, customers and suppliers                        
for their continued invaluable support.

REVIEWED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                                                   
1. Basis of preparation                                                         
These condensed consolidated reviewed financial statements                      
(these financial statements) have been prepared in                              
accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting,                           
International Financial Reporting Standard ("IFRS"), the                        
Companies Act of South Africa and the JSE Limited Listings                      
Requirements.                                                                   
The accounting policies, method of measurement and                              
recognition criteria applied in the preparation of these                        
financial statements are consistent with those applied in                       
the group`s most recent audited financial statements for                        
the year ended 31 March 2009 and will be applied to the                         
annual financial statements for the current year ended 31                       
March 2010.                                                                     
The preparation of these financial statements requires the                      
use of estimates and assumptions that affect the values                         
of assets and liabilities at the reporting date, as well                        
as the determination of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.      
Although these estimates are based on                                           
management`s best knowledge of current events and actions                       
that the group may undertake in the future, actual results                      
may differ from these estimates.                                                
These financial statements have been reviewed by KPMG Inc,                      
Registered Auditors. The unqualified review report of the auditors is available 
for inspection at the group`s registered office.                                
The board acknowledges its responsibility for the                               
preparation of the financial statements in accordance with
