3 The table below sets out the unaudited pro forma financial effects of the

Notes:
I The "Before the specific issues" financial information is extracted from
ChemSpec`s published audited annual financial statements for the year ended
31 March 2011.
II The "After the specific issues" basic and diluted loss and headline loss
per share numbers have been adjusted to include the issue of 117,107,280
ordinary shares, in terms of the specific issues. The net asset value per
share and tangible net asset value per share has been adjusted to include
the issue of 117,107,280 ordinary shares at 40 cents per ChemSpec share and
the costs of the specific issues.
III The specific issues are assumed to result in an after tax interest saving
of R3,857,766 (calculated using Prime plus 3% for the shareholder loan of
R16,842,912 repaid and an average rate of Prime for the bank overdraft
facility of R29,650,302 repaid, with a tax rate of 28%).
IV The IFRS 2 option cost on the issue of 26 million share options at 40 cents
each, has been valued at R5,586,074. This cost will be amortised over the
vesting period. Based on the assumption that the grant date is 1 April
2010, the resultant expense through the statement of comprehensive income
for the first year is R1,148,248 with a consequential tax impact of
R321,509 on a pro-forma basis.
V Please note that, for every one cent that the IDC subscription price per
share is less than 40 cents, the pro forma financial effects would change
as follows:
* Basic and diluted loss per share (cents) will be reduced by 0.08
cents;
* Basic and diluted headline loss per share (cents) will be reduced by
0.08 cents;
* Net asset value (NAV) per share (cents) will be reduced by 0.12 cents;
and
* Tangible net asset value (NAV) per share (cents) will be reduced by
0.09 cents.
The specific issues are subject to the fulfilment of the following
conditions precedent:
* the approval by the 75% requisite majority of shareholders present and
voting at the general meeting; and
* the required regulatory approval.
RIGHTS OFFER
It is planned to proceed with the rights offer and a further SENS
announcement will be made shortly in this regard to be followed by a
circular which will be posted to shareholders thereafter.
