The assets and liabilities
attributable to business units and
assets which are expected to be sold
in the next 12 months have been
classified as disposal groups held
for sale and are presented separately
in the balance sheet. The assets and
disposal groups have been measured at
fair value less cost to sell. No
impairment charge has been recognised
in the current period (2010 full
year: R63.3m).
Effective 28 February 2011, the
operations of Nampak Paper Holdings

strategy to focus on core operations
and emerging markets. The results of
these operations were previously
reported in the Europe Paper segment
for segmental reporting purposes and
have been classified as discontinued
operations. The only material change
to the total assets as disclosed for
the year-ended 30 September 2010
arose as a result of this
transaction.

GROUP PERFORMANCE
Operating profit from continuing operations increased by 16%. The trading margin
improved from 9.5% to 10.7%. This was mainly due to improved results from the
flexible, diversified canning and African operations as well as the turnaround
or sale of underperforming businesses.
Net finance costs decreased by 61% to R47 million as a result of lower interest
rates and reduced debt following the receipt of the proceeds from the disposal
of businesses.
Headline earnings per share from continuing operations increased by 28% from
72.8 cents to 93.5 cents as a result of the improvement in operating profit and
the reduction in finance costs.
The interim dividend has been increased by 36% to 34 cents per share. In view of
the group`s improved performance and low gearing, the board has resolved to
reduce the annual dividend cover to 1.6 on continuing operations which is within
the 1.6 to 1.8 policy range. The interim dividend has been set at a percentage
of the expected full-year earnings.
Revenue growth in the South African businesses was flat due to the disposal of a
number of smaller underperforming businesses. The rest of Africa and Europe
showed pleasing growth in local currencies.
The effective tax rate was 31.3% compared to 29.3% in 2010.
Total capital expenditure amounted to R348 million compared to R346 million in
2010 with R120 million spent on the completion of the Angolan beverage can
factory.
Working capital, excluding disposals and foreign exchange translation
differences, increased by R482 million (last year R355 million) due primarily to
the seasonal extension in receivable collections, increased investment in
inventories in Africa, particularly Nigeria and the buildup of inventories in
Angola in advance of the opening of the beverage can line.
Net debt to equity decreased to 23% from 33% in September last year mainly as a
result of the receipt of disposal proceeds which were used to repay debt as well
as strong operating cash flows. Net debt declined from R1.7 billion at the end
of September 2010 to R1.2 billion at the end of March 2011.
The European folding cartons and healthcare businesses were sold effective 28
February 2011 at a loss of R300 million and have been disclosed as discontinued
operations.

Trading profit increased by 19% with the margin increasing from 8.6% to 10.4%.
This was achieved despite virtually flat revenue which was impacted by reduced
consumer demand and the sale of underperforming businesses.
Rest of Africa
Trading profit increased by 59% mainly due to an improved performance from the
Nigerian folding cartons business. The margin in the region improved from 9.4%
to 14.7%.
Europe
Revenue of GBP64 million was 21% higher than last year but higher polymer prices
which could not be fully recovered as well as integration costs on the
acquisition of the Four Four Two business resulted in trading profit decreasing
by 23% from GBP4.4 million to GBP3.4 million. The average exchange rate to the
pound was R11.07 compared to R11.99 last year.

South Africa
Trading profit improved by 13% with a good performance from the diversified
canning business. Sales volumes of beverage cans were impacted by the decline in
exports to Angola. This was due to a customer undertaking a destocking exercise
in advance of the start-up of the new Angolan beverage can factory.
Demand for aerosol, polish and other diversified cans improved by 8% but food
can volumes decreased with fish can sales being substantially lower than last
year as a result of reduced imported frozen fish which is packaged locally.
Sales of fruit and vegetable cans also declined but to a lesser extent.
Demand for glass bottles increased by 1% with improved sales of beer and soft
drink bottles. Sales of spirit bottles however, were well below expectations. A
project totaling R480 million for the rebuild and expansion of furnace 2 has
been approved and will be completed in the first half of 2012.
Rest of Africa
The Nigerian and East African businesses continued to perform well. The trading
profit was impacted by start-up costs of the new beverage can line in Angola.
This factory commenced production at the beginning of April and manufacturing
processes are currently being optimised.

South Africa
Trading profit more than doubled primarily as a result of a further improvement
in the performance of the corrugated business which returned to profitability as
well as a good performance from the flexible business.
The good profit improvement in the corrugated business was achieved despite
lower demand for corrugated boxes and sales to export-orientated customers being
impacted by the stronger rand. The paper mill performed better than last year
with higher efficiencies and lower costs.
The flexible business continued to perform well with overall volume growth of 5%
contributing to the improvement. Demand for detergent and snack food packaging
was particularly strong.
The market for folding cartons was highly competitive and this together with
weak demand across all sectors placed pressure on margins. The Pinetown factory
is being closed and production rationalised into Johannesburg and Cape Town.
Demand for cement sacks was well down on last year and was severely impacted by
the depressed construction sector. Milling sacks demand was weak and the poor
South African sugar crop also affected paper sack demand. Higher exports,
however, partially compensated for the reduced domestic demand.
Rest of Africa
The folding cartons business in Nigeria achieved another excellent result with
strong demand for cigarette cartons buoyed by increased sales ahead of the
Nigerian elections in April. Sales of beer labels have commenced and sales of
foiled toothpaste cartons will begin in the second half of this year. Both
Malawi and Zambia performed at similar levels to last year.

Trading profit increased by 42% due mainly to a break-even in the tubes and tubs
business which lost R30 million in 2010.
There was good demand for plastic bottles for milk and juice. Demand for
beverage crates was weak and sales of large drums came under pressure due to a
shortage of alcohol for export following a poor sugar crop.
Sales of PET bottles for carbonated soft drinks were at a similar level to last
year.
There was moderate demand for tubes. The loss-making tubs business was sold
effective 1 May 2011.
Plastic closure sales improved in line with the increased demand for PET juice
bottles but sales of wine bottle closures were lower due to increased bulk wine
exports.
Europe
Revenue of GBP64 million was 21% higher than last year as a result of the
inclusion of volumes from the acquisition of Four Four Two on 1 October 2010.
Trading profit however decreased by 23% from GBP4.4 million to GBP3.4 million
due to a significant lag in recovering higher polymer prices and the integration
costs of the Four Four Two acquisition. Results in rand were affected by the
stronger exchange rate.

*operating profit before abnormal items
The one-ply toilet tissue market declined by 10% due to financial pressure on
lower-income consumers. The two-ply market continued to grow but a shortage of
wadding caused by production constraints at the Kliprivier mill following a mill
upgrade, resulted in reduced sales. A competitive market also saw a drop in
margins. The diaper market grew by 8% but was characterized by intense
competition which negatively impacted profitability. As a consequence, there was
minimal growth in revenue and trading profit decreased by 32%.
CORPORATE ACTIVITY
In furtherance of the stated strategy to fix, close or sell underperforming
businesses, the following businesses were sold:
Europe cartons and healthcare packaging;
Interpak Books;
Disaki Manufacturing;
L & CP;
Tubs.
PROSPECTS
Demand from South African consumers has been moderate and no significant
improvement is expected in the next six months. However, the benefits of the
disposal and closure of underperforming businesses and increased profits from
the rest of Africa are expected to contribute to an overall improvement in
performance for the full year albeit at a lower rate than that achieved in the
first six months.
