Note to the Abridged Audited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June

The reported prior period figures were restated for:                            
IAS 27 requires the allocation of comprehensive losses to the owners of the     
parent company and to the non-controlling (minority) interest. The appropriate  
allocation of losses to the non-controlling interest is performed even if the   
non-controlling interest reflects a deficit balance.                            
Prior to the amendments to IAS 27, which became effective for financial periods 
starting on or after 1 July 2009, the allocation of losses to the non-          
controlling interest was limited to the investment. The restatement to the prior
period figures is performed to the extent that the non-controlling interest for 
the 2009 and prior financial years reflected a deficit balance.                 
The non-distributable reserve (NDR) was disclosed in prior periods as arising   
from goodwill. The NDR has now been transferred to retained income in the first 
year of adopting the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS).

Comments                                                                        
REVIEW OF RESULTS AND FINANCIAL POSITION                                        
The audited consolidated financial results for the year ended 30 June 2010      
represents income from the corporate head office and the group`s two trading    
subsidiaries, Vinguard Ltd ("Vinguard") and Lazaron Biotechnologies (SA) Ltd    
("Lazaron"). The group, excluding minorities, has shown a loss of R6.6 million. 
An amount of R4.2 million of this loss is attributable to the main trading      
subsidiary of the group, Vinguard, of which a large portion was made up of      
impairments, provisions for bad debts, foreign currency.                        
Group revenue is down by 17.5% with Vinguard`s revenue reducing by 18.8%.       
Vinguard`s ability to export was impeded, as a result of the strong Rand,       
resulting in severe cash flow constraints within the group.                     
While Lazaron`s revenues contracted by 14.9% it continued to contribute a third 
of the group`s revenue. The operating expenses of the business were sufficiently
controlled reducing the Lazaron loss for the year by 20%, despite the reduction 
in turnover.                                                                    
The group has had to restate the prior year figures due to the early erroneous  
adoption of ED202, whereby losses were allocated to minorities in excess of     
their contribution. The group`s new auditors also were of the view that the non-
distributable reserve should have been transferred to distributable reserves in 
a previous period.                                                              
Stakeholders` attention is drawn to the fact that the conversion of the loan    
from Golden Oak Corporate Advisors Pty Ltd ("Golden Oak") was effected,         
resulting in NAV and NTAV respectively increasing from (5.9c) to 0.8c per share 
and (8.9c) to 0.2c per share. Although the basic loss per share increased by    
5.6%, headline loss showed a decrease of 28.9%. The financial position of the   
Group was addressed through a refinancing package, refer Events After Reporting 
Period section below.                                                           
The sustainability of the group has in the short term been addressed through the
increased funding. The directors are confident that the combination of          
aggressive management of the existing subsidiaries and further strategic        
acquisitions will ensure the future sustainability of the group.                
OPERATIONAL REVIEW                                                              
Group Overview                                                                  
In the year under review JDH continued to conduct business as a venture capital 
investment holding company, and will continue to do so, focusing on investing in
companies which have clear African and Global markets, companies which are niche
players and strategic in nature. In particular, these companies are required to 
produce products or provide services with high barriers to entry and have       
minimal competition. Currently JDH, has two such subsidiaries i.e. Lazaron      
Biotechnologies and Vinguard.                                                   
Vinguard                                                                        
Vinguard managed to almost triple its customer base in South African during the 
last South African season. The product has proved its efficacy and table grape  
farmers reported excellent results on exports. The strong Rand impacted on the  
company`s competitiveness in the export market resulting in reduced sales to    
traditional Egyptian market. The decline in export volumes was counteracted to  
an extent by exports to India. The company`s reduced international              
competitiveness and corresponding revenue decline negatively impacted on the    
group`s financial position.                                                     
Lazaron                                                                         
Lazaron experienced a small decrease in turnover, which is mainly ascribed to a 
reduction in disposable household income throughout the target client base. This
is evident by the many requests for extended credit terms for the service.      
During the period under review the company was accepted as a full member of the 
Asia Pacific Cord Blood Banking Consortium, a consortium of some of the largest 
cord blood banks in the world and is set to build on this relationship in the   
future. The management are committed to intensifying research and development   
thereby ensuring Lazaron`s ability to provide industry leading products and     
services.                                                                       
EVENTS AFTER REPORTING PERIOD, REPORTABLE IRREGULARITY AND APPOINTMENT OF NEW   
DIRECTORS                                                                       
The Company has entered into a finance restructure agreement ("the first        
agreement") with Escalator Capital Limited ("Escalator"). In terms of the first 
agreement the Company has secured a loan of R1 million with a further R2 million
being made available after conclusion of a second loan agreement. This has      
resulted in a restructure of the current boards of the Company and its          
subsidiaries. Escalator is not a related party to JDH. In terms of the          
restructure three new executive directors, independent of Escalator, have been  
appointed to the current boards of JDH and its subsidiaries. They are Mr Terence
Patrick Gregory, Mr Dirk Petrus Van Der Merwe and Mr Louis Frank Rehrl.         
Shareholders are also advised that on the 6th of August 2010 IRBA received a    
Reportable Irregularity report dated 29 July 2010 in terms of section 45(1) of  
the Auditing Profession Act 2005 (Act Nr 26 of 2005) issued by PKF (Cpt) Inc    
("PKF") in connection with the company.                                         
IRBA was informed that PKF had reason to believe that in the conduct of the     
affairs of the company a Reportable Irregularity within the Auditing Profession 
Act, 2005 (Act Nr 26 of 2005) had taken place or was taking place which has     
caused, or is likely to cause, financial loss to the company. This irregularity 
related to the substantial deterioration of the company`s financial position at 
that date. The company was given 30 days to rectify this irregularity.          
During this time the company entered into discussions with Escalator in order to
restructure the business and secure funding. A facility of R3 million was       
approved by Escalator in September with an amount of R1 million made available  
immediately.                                                                    
Accordingly in the opinion of the directors no further Reportable Irregularity  
exists. Shareholders are referred to the prospects section below.               
ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS                                                      
There were no acquisitions or disposals during the current year under review.   
ISSUE OF SHARES                                                                 
During the year under review 91 980 241 ordinary shares were issued at a        
weighted average issue price of 12.93 cents per share to convert R11 893 045 of 
the Golden Oak loan to equity.                                                  
PROSPECTS                                                                       
The turnaround of current subsidiaries through product and market extension,    
aggressive trading and cost reduction is being initiated. This includes the     
establishment of a dedicated sales division within Lazaron Biotechnologies,     
evaluation of product range extension in both subsidiaries, development of new  
markets for both subsidiaries and rationalization of administration and support 
structures. Ongoing shareholders support is required to continue to develop the 
current companies and look for new opportunities.                               
In addition initiatives will be launched shortly aimed at further acquisition   
with the specific intention of broadening the group`s interests within the core 
focus areas mentioned above. The management team hopes to update the            
shareholders on these new initiatives and on the work being done to make the    
current subsidiaries more successful in due course.                             
GOING CONCERN                                                                   
The directors are of the opinion that the group will continue as a going concern
for the foreseeable future due to the continued support of certain parties to   
the group and in particular by the holding company to its subsidiaries.         
DIVIDENDS                                                                       
No dividends have been declared and no dividend is proposed.                    
ACCOUNTING POLICIES                                                             
The abridged financial statements have been declared in accordance with IAS 34 -
Interim Financial Reporting in accordance with the accounting policies that     
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards and in the manner       
required by the Company`s Act and the JSE Listing Requirements. The principle   
accounting policies adopted in preparation of these financial statements are    
consistent with those of the prior year.                                        
AUDIT REPORT                                                                    
These results have been audited by AM Smith and Company Inc, whose unqualified  
audit report, modified with an emphasis of matter, is available for inspection  
at the registered offices of the company.                                       
The emphasis of matter states that "without qualifying our opinion, we draw     
attention to the directors report that indicates that the company incurred a net
loss of R6 644 628 after minority interest for the year ended 30 June 2010. The 
Directors` Report also indicates that these conditions along with other matters 
indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant     
doubt on the company`s ability to continue as a going concern."                 
APPOINTMENT OF NEW AUDITORS                                                     
The company appointed AM Smith and Company Inc as new auditors on 21 September

Further to the cautionary announcement dated 21 September 2010, shareholders are
advised to continue exercising caution in dealing with the company`s securities 
until the terms of the second loan agreement with Escalator are announced.
