ERB - Erbacon - Trading update, posting of annual report, notice of annual
general meeting ("AGM"), and abridged consolidated financial statements and
change statement
Erbacon Investment Holdings Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number: 2007/014490/06)
Share code: ERB
ISIN: ZAE000111571
("Erbacon" or "the Company")
TRADING UPDATE, POSTING OF ANNUAL REPORT, NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
("AGM"), AND ABRIDGED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND CHANGE STATEMENT
1. TRADING UPDATE
In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, a listed company is
required to publish a trading statement as soon as it becomes reasonably certain
that the financial results for the next period to be reported on will show a 20%
or more difference from those of the previous corresponding period.
Erbacon hereby wishes to advise shareholders that a reasonable degree of
certainty exists that the basic earnings per share and headline earnings per
share for the six month period to 31 August 2010, will be at least 65% lower
than that of the prior corresponding period.
The reduced performance follows on from Erbacon`s previously disclosed comments
on the construction sector and in particular on the growth prospects for the
construction sector, in the short to medium term, being reliant on the momentum
of government`s budgeted infrastructure spend programme. Furthermore, the board
had predicted and commented on in the past that the heightened competition in
the industry and lower margins would impact the current financial year of
Erbacon.
The effect of the above, especially within the Civils Construction - Coastal
division (comprising Erbacon Construction (Pty) Ltd), has resulted in a low
throughput of base workload from the public sector in the first half year. In
addition, the Civils Construction - Inland division (comprising Civcontract
Civils (Pty) Ltd ("Civcon")) experienced a delay in the mobilization of certain
key contract awards, also mainly affecting the first half year. In addition,
start-up costs in respect of the newly established Erbacon Roads and Earthworks
(Pty)Ltd venture, preference share interest and contract amortization charges,
are incremental costs that will feature in the financial results to 31 August
2010.
Basic earnings per share and headline earnings per share for the six month
period to 31 August 2010, will also be impacted as a result of the increase in
the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue at 31 August
2010, namely 192,959,500 ordinary shares (2009: 136,073,694 ordinary shares)
- an increase of 41,8%. This includes the issue of a further 31 999 500 Erbacon
ordinary shares to the Civcon vendors in settlement of a portion of the purchase
consideration following from Erbacon`s acquisition/merger of Civcon.
Shareholders are further advised that the results for the second half of the
financial year 2011 are, at this point, expected to be at least comparable to
those achieved for the corresponding period last year. The financial information
contained in this trading update has not been reviewed or reported on by the
company`s auditors.
The unaudited interim results for the period ended 31 August 2010 is expected to
be released on SENS on or about 18 October 2010.
2. POSTING OF ANNUAL REPORT
Shareholders are advised that Erbacon`s annual report for the year ended 28
February 2010 was posted to shareholders today, 6 August 2010, and contains
modifications to the reviewed provisional report published on SENS on 21 May
2010, the details of which are set out in paragraph 4 below.
3. NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Notice is hereby given that the annual general meeting of Erbacon shareholders
will be held in the boardroom, Mount Edgecombe Country Club, Golf Course Drive,
Gate 2, Mount Edgecombe at 09H00 on Tuesday, 31 August 2010, to transact the
business as stated in the notice of annual general meeting which forms part of
the annual report.

GROUP SEGMENTAL REPORT
The segment information set out below is based on the requirements of IFRS 8:
Segment Reporting. For management purposes the Group is split into five
distinctive operating segments.
The Board of directors has determined the operating segments based on the
reports reviewed that are used to make strategic decisions.
The Board assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure
of profit before taxation. This measurement is consistent with the recognition
and measurement principles applied within the statement of comprehensive
income. Sales amongst segments are carried out at arm`s length. The revenue
from external customers reported to the Board is measured in a manner
consistent with that in the statement of comprehensive income.
29,9% of total external revenue arises from transactions with two customers,
each of which exceeds 10% of total external revenue.
These revenues are included in Civils Construction (Coastal), R227,7 million
and Commercial and Industrial Building, R22,2 million.

Basis of preparation of the Abridged consolidated annual financial statements
The abridged consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared in
Accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), IAS 34:
Interim Financial Reporting, the AC 500 series as issued by the Accounting
Practices Board, in compliance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE
Limited, and Schedule 4 of the Companies Act of South Africa, 1973, as amended.
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements are
consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended
28 February 2009. The Company adopted IAS 1: Presentation of Financial
Statements and IFRS 8: Operating Segments for the first time in the current
year.
The abridged consolidated annual financial statements have been extracted from
the annual financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2010 on which
PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. issued an unmodified audit report. This report is
available for inspection at the Company`s registered office.
Change Statement:
The changes from the Reviewed Provisional Report for the year ended 28 February
2010, released on SENS on Friday 21 May 2010, relate to the re-classification
and revaluation of certain balance sheet items in respect of the treatment of
the contingent purchase consideration of Civcontract Civils (Pty) Ltd
("Civcon"). The changes did not have any effect on the statement of
comprehensive income.
On 3 November 2009, the acquisition of all of the shares in issue and claims
against Civcon were concluded, with the required clearance having been obtained
from the Competition Commission authorities. Accordingly, the Civcon balance
sheet was consolidated in the Group balance sheet as at 28 February 2010.
In the Reviewed Provisional Report, the contingent purchase consideration to be
settled in shares, the number of which is based on the Civcon profit warranty
calculation as laid out in the "Sale of Civcon Shares and Claims Agreement", was
calculated based on a preliminary profit figure for Civcon. Following the
release of the provisional report, this profit warranty figure was finalised and
a revision was made to the number of shares to be issued. Accordingly, Goodwill
and Equity have increased by R5 080 034.
Following the release of the provisional results, various classification issues
were identified.
The material changes are as follows:
- R6 149 489 included under non-current borrowings identified as current,
reallocated out of non-current borrowings to current borrowings;
- Debit balance of R3 520 088 included in Trade and other payables reallocated
to Trade and other receivables, with an impact on the cash receipts from
customers disclosed in the cash flow;
- Materials on site of R3 943 904 incorrectly included in Trade and other
payables, reallocated to Inventory; and
- R1 723 888 correction to an understatement of the tax paid and proceeds on
disposal of plant hire amounts as disclosed in the statement of cash flows.
The effect on the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated
statement of cash flow is as follows:
