1. Basis of preparation                                                         
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance
with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, International Financial      
Reporting Standards (IFRS), the AC 500 standards as issued by the Accounting    
Practices Board, the South African Companies Act, 1973, as amended and the      
information as required by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting.                 
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those applied for the       
group`s 2009 annual financial statements, except for the following:             
IAS 1: Presentation of financial statements (amendments)                        
The amendments involved terminology changes (including revised titles for the   
financial statements) and changes in the format and content of the financial    
statements.                                                                     
IFRS 8: Operating segments                                                      
The standard required a redesignation of the group`s reportable segments. The   
information reported is that which management uses internally for evaluating    
segment performance and for allocation of resources after applying the          
aggregation criteria.                                                           
The adoption of the above standards did not have a significant impact on the    
financial statements and has affected presentation and disclosure only.

Operating profit increased by 126%. The trading margin improved from 5.8% to    
8.3% with turnarounds in the paper businesses in both South Africa and Europe   
and the disposal of underperforming businesses contributing to this improvement.
Headline earnings per share increased by 79% from 83.8 cents to 149.7 cents as a
result of the improvement in operating profit and the reduction in finance      
costs. Earnings per share increased by 303% due to significantly lower abnormal 
items than the previous year.                                                   
Revenue decreased by 5% due partly to lower volumes in South Africa and the     
effect of a stronger rand on translated revenue from Europe and the rest of     
Africa.                                                                         
Net finance costs decreased by 38% to R203 million as a result of lower interest
rates and lower levels of debt.                                                 
The effective tax rate was 27.4% compared to 25.8% in 2009.                     
Total capital expenditure amounted to R786 million compared to R1 129 million in
2009 with R195 million spent on the Angolan beverage can factory and R54 million
on the completion of the glass cullet plant.                                    
Working capital decreased by R212 million due to the continued focus on reducing
our investment in this area. Inventories and accounts receivable showed         
significant reductions.                                                         
Net debt to equity decreased to 33% from 52% last year mainly as a result of the
repayment of debt and the increase in cash generated from operations, and       
reductions in both capital expenditure and working capital.

In 2010 Nampak achieved a BBBEE rating of level 4, up from level 6 in 2009 as a 
result of various initiatives across all seven legs of the Black Empowerment    
Scorecard as certified by independent ratings agency Empowerdex.

Sales volumes were flat. Although there was increased demand for some products  
during the 2010 FIFA World Cup tournament, consumer demand was generally weak   
for most of the year. A stronger performance by the food and general can        
business and a reduced loss in the corrugated business contributed to the 35%   
increase in trading profit. The margin increased from 6.3% to 8.6%.

Trading profit increased by 66% in US dollar terms and by 24% in rand terms to  
R83 million. This amount includes start-up costs of R15 million for the new     
beverage can plant in Angola. The metals and paper businesses in Nigeria        
achieved very good results as did the businesses in most other territories.     
Zambia performed below expectations and incurred a loss.

Revenue of GBP347 million was at a similar level to last year whilst trading    
profit increased by 56% from GBP12.1 million to GBP18.9 million as a result of  
the turnaround in the folding cartons business. The average exchange rate to the
pound was R11.64 compared to R13.94 last year.

This segment comprises corporate services, procurement, treasury and property   
rentals. The increase in trading income is due mainly to lower corporate costs  
and a reduction in the provision for bad debts.

Revenue decreased by 2% due to a reduction of 6% in the demand for beverage     
cans. Good performances from the food, general can and glass businesses         
contributed to maintaining trading profit at a similar level to last year.      
Food can volumes decreased by 12% with all categories except for milk cans being
lower than last year. There was higher demand for aerosol, polish and other     
diversified cans.                                                               
There was moderate demand for glass bottles which together with the investment  
in manufacturing technology contributed to an improvement in performance and    
margins. A new cullet plant costing R160 million was commissioned in March 2010.
This will enable greater quantities of recycled glass to be used.

Revenue decreased by 2% due to lower sales in the flexible and sacks businesses.
A substantially reduced loss in the corrugated business and a strong performance
by the flexibles business contributed to the turnaround in trading profit.      
Sales volumes of corrugated boxes increased by 7%, as a result of improved      
demand from the agriculture sector and the regaining of market share in the     
commercial sector. Production efficiencies at the Rosslyn paper mill showed     
steady improvement as the year progressed and the converting operations         
performed well.                                                                 
Demand for folding cartons was weak across all sectors with only fast-food      
packaging registering any growth supported by increased demand during the 2010  
FIFA World Cup tournament. The conversion of detergent cartons to flexible      
packaging also impacted on volumes.                                             
The flexible business achieved a much improved performance with both volume     
growth and higher margins contributing to the better results. There was stronger
demand from key customers and higher sales of detergent bags which have         
converted from folding cartons. A major contributor to the improved results was 
the sale and closure respectively in 2009 of the loss-making Flexpak and Foam   
businesses.                                                                     
The paper sacks business performed well despite depressed demand for cement and 
milling packaging. Exports to Africa grew year on year.

The folding cartons business in Nigeria had an excellent year with strong demand
for cigarette cartons as well as further penetration into the general carton    
market. The good results from Nigeria and Malawi were negatively impacted by a  
loss in Zambia.                                                                 
Europe                                                                          
Revenue remained constant at GBP238 million whilst trading profit increased by  
90% to GBP10.2 million.                                                         
Sales volumes in the healthcare packaging business were higher than last year   
but weak economic conditions resulted in volumes of folding cartons for the food
sector being similar to a year ago. The benefits of the rationalisation         
undertaken at Leeds towards the end of 2009 contributed to the substantial      
increase in profitability.

Revenue increased by 3% whilst trading profit fell by 17% due to an increased   
loss in the tubes and tubs business.                                            
There was marginal volume growth in plastic bottles for milk and juice. Sales of
multi-layer bottles for long-life milk were expanded to a broader range of      
retailers. There was good demand from the beverage industry for plastic crates. 
Sales of PET bottles for carbonated soft drinks were affected by the unseasonal 
wet summer as well as the loss of business in Bloemfontein following the award  
of a new in-plant to a competitor.                                              
There was reduced demand for tubes. Due to poor profitability and weak          
prospects, the plastic industrial container business was sold and for similar   
reasons the tubs business is in the process of being sold.                      
Sales of metal closures for food containers were lower due to imports and       
depressed consumer demand. Screw cap closures for wine bottles continued to     
grow.

Revenue was 2% higher at GBP109 million whilst trading profit increased by 30%  
to GBP8.7million. Sales volumes were lower due to the insolvency of a major     
customer in the middle of 2009 but the profit improvement programme implemented 
to counter the loss of this business contributed to an improvement in           
performance. A competitor acquired effective October 2010 will assist in        
restoring some of the lost volumes.

Demand from the retail sector was soft although there was an improvement in the 
latter part of the year. Toilet tissue volumes were down. Diapers and feminine  
hygiene products both showed positive growth.

operations of Redibox (other operations were closed); Disaki Cores & Tubes;

RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT                                              
Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcement published on 4 October 
2010 when the company advised that it was in discussions which, if successfully 
concluded, could have an effect on the price of the company`s securities.       
Shareholders are advised that discussions are at an advanced stage in regard to 
the sale of the company`s Cartons and Healthcare businesses in Europe.          
Accordingly, shareholders are advised to continue to exercise caution when      
dealing in the company`s securities until a further announcement is made.       
PROSPECTS                                                                       
The group has successfully fixed or sold most of its underperforming businesses.
The strategy of investing and growing our core profitable businesses will       
continue and we remain focused on fixing or exiting the remaining               
underperforming businesses. Capex and working capital will continue to be       
tightly controlled.                                                             
As a result, the group will be more focused and we expect to be able to continue
delivering improvements in profitability, trading margins and reduced debt.

We may make statements that are not historical facts and relate to analyses and 
other information based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts 
not yet determinable. These are forward-looking statements as defined in the    
U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as believe,   
anticipate, expect, intend, seek, will, plan, could, may, endeavour and project 
and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking           
statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. By  
their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and        
uncertainties, both general and specific, and there are risks that predictions, 
forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be         
achieved.                                                                       
If one or more of these risks materialise, or should underlying assumptions     
prove incorrect, actual results may be very different from those anticipated.   
The factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the   
plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions in such forward-      
looking statement are discussed in each year`s annual report.                   
Forward-looking statements apply only as of the date on which they are made, and
we do not undertake other than in terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE 
Limited, to update or revise any statement, whether as a result of new          
information, future events or otherwise. All profit forecasts published in this 
report are unaudited. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any
forward-looking statements contained herein.
