NOTES
1. The results for the six months ended 31 December 2010 ("the period") are not
comparable to those of the prior periods presented. During the period Sea Kay`s
shareholding in Lonerock Construction (Pty) Limited ("Lonerock") decreased from
50.0001% to 49.9999%, and consequently the results of Lonerock were not
consolidated during the period as was the case in the prior periods, but rather
equity accounted. The loss of control of Lonerock resulted in a negligible loss
of R72k on the loss of control of the subsidiary. Lonerock, now an associate,
also constituted the entire civil engineering component of the segmental report
in prior periods.
2. Taxation for the period represents a reversal of a provision for taxation
which arose in a prior period.
3. Seriso 474 (Pty) Limited ("Sedibeng Bricks") and Silver Falcon (Pty) Limited
are treated as discontinued operations as it is the intention to dispose of
these subsidiaries in the near future.
The results, assets and liabilities of the disposal group are set out below.

GROUP PROFILE
Sea Kay currently operates mainly in Gauteng and the Western Cape in the
construction of mass housing through Sea Kay Engineering Services (Pty) Limited
("Sea Kay Engineering") and Sea Kay Engineering Services Western Cape (Pty)
Limited ("Sea Kay Western Cape"). Lonerock, (49.99% owned by Sea Kay) is
involved in large civil construction projects and road building.
TRADING CONDITIONS
The impact of the protracted macro-economic downturn has been specifically
severe on the construction sector. Banks and financial institutions remain
hesitant to fund projects and provide capital to businesses and individuals,
resulting in a slowdown in the delivery of houses in the GAP / credit link
market as well as property development projects.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
Sea Kay`s performance for the period continued to be below expectations, mainly
as a result of the following factors:
- continued lack of affordable housing (GAP / credit link) projects due to the
economic downturn; and
- cash flow constraints, with the resultant negative impact on the efficiency of
construction activities leading to losses on certain projects.
Sea Kay completed and handed over 1 951 housing units during the period and its
order book (excluding Lonerock) comprises approximately R600 million,
representing more than 8 000 units, the bulk of which are to be completed within
the current calendar year.
LONEROCK
Lonerock, now an associate, achieved revenue of R203 million and after tax
profit of R12.1 million for the period, of which Sea Kay`s share is included in
the period results as share of profit from an associate. Lonerock is currently
engaged in various road projects (including the access road to Kusile power
station and various bus rapid transit roads), and has an order book of
approximately R400 million.
Sea Kay has an option to regain control of Lonerock, provided that it:
- settles the outstanding purchase consideration of approximately R13 million
plus interest by 31 August 2011;
- does not commit any breach of the terms and conditions of the relevant
agreements and no trigger events have occurred; and
- sources additional contracts for Lonerock to the extent of at least R200
million.
The option is valid for 30 days after the conditions have been fulfilled.
The assets and liabilities of Lonerock that have been derecognised due to the
deconsolidation are as follows:

PROSPECTS
Management is confident that Government`s spending to improve the country`s
infrastructure will take centre stage, and continue to increase. Housing and the
eradication of informal settlements remain at the forefront of Government`s
infrastructure investment programmes, for which R(xxx) billion was allocated in
terms of the latest budget. With this in mind, the group`s low-cost housing
construction activities are expected to expand in the second half of the year,
as well as into 2012. The new allocations for low-cost housing by Government are
expected soon. Management also expects a more aggressive drive from Government
to eradicate informal settlements, which should result in larger allocations to
Sea Kay Engineering for the construction of low-cost houses.
It is anticipated that the property market will gradually recover towards the
end of 2011 due to low interest rates and inflation as well as increases in real
disposable income. Sea Kay is currently involved in negotiations with the
private sector regarding mass housing projects, as well as housing developments
in neighbouring countries. The group is confident of an upturn in trading
conditions and has realistic expectations for growth for the remainder of the
year.
Sea Kay is in the process of securing a pipeline of development and construction
work for the next few years, which is aimed directly to support sustainability.
The demand for integrated sustainable human settlements is still growing
countrywide. The so-called GAP market has an estimated backlog of between 500
000 and 800 000 units and remains a substantial challenge for Government, the
banking, and private sectors to adequately address. In this regard the
affordability levels for individuals have been the biggest challenge, but it is
expected that the sector will start growing again towards the end of 2011. Sea
Kay has a number of opportunities in this sector of the housing market and is
looking to expand its operations within it during 2011.
The group is also looking at opportunities to establish operations across
country borders and initial negotiations have been established with relevant
authorities and companies in Botswana and Angola. The need for proper integrated
housing projects in neighboring countries is also very high and those
Governments are eager to negotiate with the company to establish itself in their
countries.
Expansion will, to a large extent, depend on the successful recapitalisation of
the company.
GOING CONCERN - RESTRUCTURING AND FUNDING OF THE GROUP`S OPERATIONS
Sea Kay announced its intention to restructure various levels of the company
during the course of 2010 and some progress has been made in this regard. A lack
of working capital has prevented the company from accelerating this process but
it will remain a top priority and is expected to be achieved during the course
of 2011.
Sea Kay is in the process of applying to various financial institutions for
funding to alleviate pressure on the cash-flow and the working capital.
DIVIDENDS
No dividend will be paid in respect of the period under review.
FINANCIAL PREPARATION
The interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2010 have been prepared
in accordance with and contain the information required by IAS 34: Interim
Financial Reporting, International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), AC500
Standards as issued by the Accounting Practices Board or its successor, the
Companies Act no 61 of 1973 and the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited.
The accounting policies applied, which are in terms of IFRS, are consistent with
those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2010, as
described in those financial statements.
NHFC LOAN
In terms of a settlement agreement with the National Housing Finance Corporation
Limited ("NHFC") (pursuant to the NHFC`s application for liquidation of Sea Kay
and Sea Kay Engineering (Pty) Limited during February 2010), loan repayments
totalling R51.2 million were made by Sea Kay between January 2011 and March
2011. This was made possible with the assistance of the Gauteng Department of
Local Government and Housing, which conducted a reconciliation and verification
of Sea Kay`s claims and effected accelerated payment. The capital balance on the
loan at 28 February 2011 was R65 million, which is to be repaid over five years,
with interest at prime.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
As included the 2010 annual report, the liquidators for BVI 1171 (Pty) Limited
(a special purpose vehicle company created for the development of a project on
Delft Symphony Precinct 3 & 5) have issued summons against Ibuyile Development
Consortium ("Ibuyile") (90% owned by Sea Kay), Sea Kay Engineering Services
(Pty) Limited and Sea Kay Property Development (Pty) Limited for R58 million
relating to expenses incurred in the normal course of business while the
development was managed. An amount of R11 million of the R58 million has already
been settled between the liquidators and the Provincial Government Western Cape
Housing Department ("PGWCHD"), reducing the contingency to R47 million. The
first phase of the development (351 houses) has been completed and was handed
over to the liquidators, who will sell and transfer those houses to
beneficiaries during 2011. The proceeds of those sales will in all probability
cover the balance of the contingency. Despite the sale of those houses and the
expected proceeds therefrom, Sea Kay (and Ibuyile) are in negotiations with the
liquidators and First National Bank, the only significant creditor in the
insolvent estate, to settle the ongoing litigation and to avoid any further
contingent liabilities. It is expected that a negotiated settlement will be
reached during the next few months, which should finally remove this contingency
and provide Ibuyile (and Sea Kay Western Cape) with additional construction work
valued at approximately R230 million.
A financial dispute arose between Ibuyile and its client, Thubelisha Homes (the
implementing agent on the N2 Gateway project in the Western Cape, which has
subsequently been wound down by Government). A mediation agreement has been
entered into with the Provincial Government in the Western Cape, and that
process was finalised early in December 2010, resulting in an amount of R8
million payable by Sea Kay. Ibuyile initiated a formal review process in the
Western Cape High Court against the mediator/arbitrator and other related
parties but certain issues relating to the dispute have been negotiated further
between Ibuyile and the PGWCHD and it is expected that these issues will be
resolved by mid 2011. Should the outcome of the negotiations be positive, the
review application will in all probability be settled between the parties.
REVIEW OPINION
SAB&T Inc has issued a qualified review opinion on the results for the period
ended 31 December 2010, which opinion is available for inspection at the
company`s registered office.
The review opinion contains the following paragraph:
"The ability of the group to honour its commitments and provide adequate working
capital to sustain its operations are dependent on a combination of factors
including the successful outcome of negotiations, procuring additional funds
and/or refinancing certain operations as well as a return to profitability."
DIRECTORATE AND SECRETARIAT
Landiwe Mahlangu was appointed chairperson, effective 14 December 2011. Stef
Greeff was appointed chief financial officer and financial director, and Mark
Hattingh as company sectary, both effective 1 February 2011. As a result of the
difficult circumstances encountered by the company during the period under
review, certain Corporate Governance protocols have not been implemented. In
this regard the board of directors assumed the responsibilities of the Audit
Committee during the period.
By order of the board.
