COMMENTARY
The past six months have been characterised by counteractive factors. Tongaat
Hulett is starting to benefit from the targeted sugar production growth in
Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Sugar production in South Africa has been affected by
the severe drought in the current season. Sugar realisations in this period
have not yet reflected the benefits of the recent surge in world sugar prices
brought about by supply and demand dynamics. Exchange rates have been less
favourable than in the corresponding six months in 2009. In the current
economic climate, the sale of development land remained depressed. Tongaat
Hulett`s headline earnings increased by 12% to R507 million for the half-year
ended 30 September 2010, compared to the R452 million earned in the six months
to 30 September 2009. The profit from operations for the half-year grew by 10%
to R963 million from the R873 million earned in the same period in 2009.
Profit from the starch operations for the six months was R125 million,
compared to R117 million in the same period last year. A third consecutive
year of favourable agricultural conditions in South Africa yielded a large
maize crop in 2009/10 of 13 million tons (2008/9: 12 million tons) and
resulted in local maize prices trading close to world prices. The margin
benefit of lower maize costs was partially offset by lower co-product prices
and the effect of a firmer Rand. Starch and glucose sales volumes in the local
market were similar to the corresponding prior period. Volumes in the
alcoholic beverage, coffee creamer and confectionary sectors started
recovering while the canning and prepared food sectors reflected lower
volumes.
The profit from sugar operations in Zimbabwe was R303 million (US$ 41 million)
in the first half of the financial year, compared to R326 million (US$ 40
million) in the same period last year. Sales volumes in the first half of the
year were 3% higher than the same period last year. Sugar production commenced
later than normal at the Hippo Valley mill following the extensive
rehabilitation work undertaken during the off-season. The crush rate has since
increased closer to capacity as the refurbished second extraction line was
brought into production.
In Mozambique, profit from the sugar operations for the six months to
September 2010 increased to R163 million (Metical 739 million) from R79
million (Metical 263 million) in the same period last year, benefiting from
substantially higher volumes. The rapid depreciation of the Metical has
resulted in a situation where domestic sugar prices need to increase by more
than 50% to be in line with regional pricing.
The South African sugar milling, refining and agriculture operations
contributed R47 million to profit for the six months ended September 2010
(2009: R77 million). The drought conditions in KwaZulu-Natal have led to a
reduction in the current sugar crop and higher costs per ton of sugar
produced. Sales volumes in the first half of the year grew by 7% together with
higher local and export sales realisations. Almost all of Tongaat Hulett`s
sugar production is effectively sold in the local market under the Huletts
brand. In terms of the South African sugar industry legislated regulations,
79% of the sales in the current season are deemed to be local and 21% are
recognised and valued as exports. Raw sugar export volumes from South Africa
were sold at an effective world sugar price of 19,0 US c/lb (prior season:
16,5 US c/lb) at an average exchange rate of R7,67/US$ (prior season:
R8,16/US$).
The downstream sugar value added activities contributed R136 million to profit
(2009: R127 million). This includes Voermol animal feeds, South African
refined exports, regional marketing, sales, packing and distribution
activities.
In Swaziland, the Tambankulu sugar estate generated operating profit of R19
million for the half-year (2009: R29 million). The exchange rate of the Rand
against the Euro has negatively impacted export earnings. Production for the
full year is expected to be similar to the previous season.
Tongaat Hulett`s land and property development activity is currently focused
on value creation for all stakeholders in the growth corridor north of Durban,
including the new international air platform at King Shaka, targeting land
conversion at the appropriate time and value. In the current economic climate,
with the sale of development land across most sectors being depressed, few
hectares are being converted to development in the higher value prime
locations on the coastline and to the west of Durban. Tongaat Hulett owns 13
807 gross hectares for development in South Africa. Operating profit from land
conversion and development for the six months to September 2010 amounted to
R97 million (2009: R72 million) with a further R4 million in capital profits
(2009: R2 million) being realised. During this period, 39 developable hectares
(56 gross hectares) were sold in the area north of Durban. Revenue was
generated mainly from sales in the Umhlanga Ridgeside and Izinga areas,
together with a benefit and associated land sale for the golf course at
Zimbali Lakes, which is currently being constructed by Tongaat Hulett`s joint
venture partner. In the current economic climate there has been increased
attention on controlling development expenditure, with cost savings being
brought to account.
The centrally accounted and consolidation items included a gain of R130
million (2009: R82 million) on the recognition of an unconditional entitlement
to an employer surplus account allocation in the Tongaat Hulett pension fund.
The tax charge in the income statement includes the attractive Mozambique tax
rate for agricultural operations and a lower tax rate in Zimbabwe compared to
the first half of the previous financial year.
Finance costs for the first half of the 2010/11 year increased to R231 million
from R142 million in the first half of the 2009/10 year. The capitalisation of
interest on the Mozambique expansion project ended in the 2009/10 year, with
the commissioning having been completed.
Cash inflow from operations, before working capital, was R929 million for the
six months to September 2010 (2009: R867 million). Cash flow was adversely
impacted by full production of sugar commencing later than expected due to
unseasonal rain in Mozambique and the extensive rehabilitation work in
Zimbabwe. The September half-year coincides with a peak working capital
absorption point in the year. Tongaat Hulett`s net debt at the end of
September 2010 was R3,741 billion. This compares to R3,245 billion at
September 2009. The last two years have seen significant capital expenditure
on the Mozambique expansion and cash being absorbed in the establishment of
the expanded cane crops, the replanting of sugar cane and mill refurbishment
in Zimbabwe.
The Board has declared an interim dividend of 110 cents per share (2009: 100
cents per share).
Outlook
Regional sugar prices are now starting to rise in response to the higher world
prices. The demand for raw sugar into the European Union is intensifying.
Sugar available for export from the current season`s production is limited.
The drought experienced in South Africa has brought forward the closure of the
sugar mills for the 2010/11 season. The mills in Zimbabwe and Mozambique are
likely to close in December for start-up in April and May for the 2011/12
season.
Tongaat Hulett expects to make further progress in growing sugar production
towards the target of doubling the 2009/10 production, utilising the available
milling capacity, with a simultaneous reduction in unit costs.
Zimbabwe sugar production in the 2010/11 season is expected to be between 330
000 and 350 000 tons (2009/10: 259 000 tons). In the 2011/12 season,
production is expected to increase to between 380 000 and 400 000 tons of
sugar, with better cane age and yields on a similar number of hectares being
harvested, as well as improved sugar extraction in the mills.
In Mozambique, sugar production in the 2010/11 season is expected to be
between 185 000 and 205 000 tons (2009/10: 134 000 tons). In order to improve
the ongoing profile and age of the crop, some sugar cane originally targeted
for milling in the 2010/11 season will now be milled early in the 2011/12
season. Production in the 2011/12 season is projected to be between 270 000
and 290 000 tons of sugar, with an increase in hectares harvested, higher cane
yields and improved sugar extraction in the mills.
The drought in KwaZulu-Natal has resulted in the current season`s South
African sugar production being more than 100 000 tons below the 564 000 tons
produced in the 2009/10 season, notwithstanding the additional 2 000 hectares
under cane supplying Tongaat Hulett`s mills. An additional 6 000 hectares of
new cane land is currently being planted.
The South African Department of Energy`s Integrated Resource Plan for
Electricity now includes bagasse as one of the preferred options for
electricity generation. Tongaat Hulett has the potential to generate 189
megawatts, excluding tops and trash, in South Africa.
Agricultural land conversion and development activity is currently focused on
development and bulk sale opportunities in the growth corridor north of
Durban, including industrial and business park land adjacent to the new
international airport and at Cornubia. Industrial land in Durban/eThekwini
remains in short supply.
The large South African maize harvest in 2010 and the high maize stock levels
from the previous two seasons should maintain local maize prices close to
world prices and contribute to the competitiveness of the starch operation.
Higher international starch prices are countering the impact of the exchange
rate.
Tongaat Hulett`s financial results remain sensitive to movements in the Rand,
US dollar, Euro and Mozambique Metical. These impact on the revenue streams,
costs incurred and the conversion of profits into Rands.

Tongaat Hulett Limited
P O Box 3
TONGAAT
4400
Dear Sirs
Independent Reporting Accountants` Assurance Report on the Pro Forma Financial
Information of Tongaat Hulett Limited
We have performed our limited assurance engagement in respect of the unaudited

Our procedures consisted primarily of comparing the unadjusted financial
information with the source documents, considering the pro forma adjustments
in light of the accounting policies of Tongaat Hulett Limited, considering the
evidence supporting the pro forma adjustments and discussing the adjusted pro
forma financial information with the directors of the company in relation to
the prior year change in the company`s reporting period to a 31 March
financial year end.
In arriving at our conclusion, we have relied upon financial information
prepared by the directors of Tongaat Hulett Limited and other information from
various public, financial and industry sources.
While our work performed has involved an analysis of the historical published
audited financial information and other information provided to us, our
assurance engagement does not constitute an audit or review of any of the
underlying financial information conducted in accordance with International
Standards on Auditing or International Standards on Review Engagements and
accordingly, we do not express an audit or review opinion.
In a limited assurance engagement, the evidence-gathering procedures are more
limited than for a reasonable assurance engagement and therefore less
assurance is obtained than in a reasonable assurance engagement. We believe
our evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
conclusion.
Conclusion
Based on our examination of the evidence obtained, nothing has come to our
attention, which causes us to believe that, in terms of the section 8.17 and
8.30 of the JSE Listings Requirements:
- the pro forma financial information has not been properly
compiled on the basis stated,
- such basis is inconsistent with the accounting policies of the
issuer, and
- the adjustments are not appropriate for the purposes of the pro
forma financial information as disclosed.
Consent
We consent to the inclusion of this report, which will form part of the SENS
announcement of results, to be issued on or about 15 November 2010, in the
form and context in which it will appear.
