*The increase in guarantees and contingent liabilities since
31 March 2010 relates mainly to two tax assessments received
from SARS during the period under review. One of the
assessments amounting to R906 million relates to the buyback
and cancellation of treasury shares, while the second
assessment amounting to R699 million was issued in connection
with the disposal of investments (both amounts include
interest). Based on legal opinion received, the assessments
are being disputed.
Comments
1. Change in financial year-end
During the period under review the financial year-end of the
Company was changed from 31 March to 30 June, with effect from
the current financial year. The rationale for the change was
to comply with the revised International Auditing Standard 600
(ISA 600), as fully set out in the announcement released on
SENS on 16 March 2011.
As a result of the change in year-end and in order to comply
with the JSE Listings Requirements, Remgro published and
distributed a second set of interim results to shareholders
for the twelve-month period ended 31 March 2011, during June
2011. An increase of 17.6% in headline earnings per share
compared to the twelve months ended 31 March 2010 was
reported.
For the fifteen months being reported on, the change in year-
end has resulted in certain investee companies being accounted
for either twelve, fifteen or eighteen months, compared to
only twelve months in the comparative period, resulting in no
meaningful comparison between the periods reported on. The
most significant of the investee companies referred to above,
are the following:
- Air Products and Mediclinic - accounted for twelve months in
both periods
- Rainbow, Tsb Sugar, Unilever and Wispeco - accounted for
fifteen months for the period under review, compared to twelve
months in the comparative period
- Distell, FirstRand, Kagiso, PGSI, RMBH and Total - accounted
for eighteen months for the period under review, compared to
twelve months in the comparative period
The change in year-end also has the effect that Remgro`s final
and interim dividends will now be paid during November and
April of each year respectively, compared to August and
January previously. In respect of the fifteen-month period
ended 30 June 2011 the total dividend per share is based on
earnings for the fifteen months. For subsequent financial
years, the total dividend per share will again be based on
earnings for the twelve months under review.
2. Accounting policies
The annual financial statements are prepared on the historical
cost basis, unless otherwise indicated, in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including
IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, and in accordance with
the requirements of the Companies Act (No. 71 of 2008), as
amended, and the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited. The
financial statements have been prepared under the supervision
of the Chief Financial Officer, Leon Crouse CA(SA).
These financial statements incorporate accounting policies
that have been consistently applied to both periods presented,
with the exception of the implementation of the amendments to
IAS 28: Investments in Associates, resulting from the
introduction of the revised IFRS 3: Business Combinations.
Refer to the section on changes in accounting policy below for
further detail.
3. Changes in accounting policy
In the past all dilutionary effects of equity transactions by
associated companies and joint ventures that Remgro was not a
party to, were accounted for in other comprehensive income.
With the introduction of the amendments to IAS 28: Investments
in Associates, resulting from the application of the revised
IFRS 3: Business Combinations, these effects are now accounted
for in the income statement.
In terms of the transitional provisions of the revised IFRS 3,
this standard is only applied prospectively for all financial
periods commencing on/after 1 July 2009 and accordingly the
comparative results have not been restated. The impact of the
change in accounting policy for the period under review
resulted in an increase in earnings of R194 million. In terms
of Circular 3/2009: Headline Earnings, the effect of such
transactions is not included in headline earnings and
accordingly the change in accounting policy did not affect
Remgro`s headline earnings.
4. Comparison with prior period
The acquisition of VenFin Limited (VenFin) in the comparative
period was only completed on 23 November 2009, having the
effect that only VenFin`s associates and joint ventures with
March and September year-ends being equity accounted for the
three months to 31 March 2010. For the period under review the
impact of the VenFin acquisition was however accounted for the
full period. The VenFin acquisition did have a negative effect
on headline earnings per share due to the dilutive effect of
the issue of 41.6 million Remgro shares as consideration for
the acquisition.
5. Results
Headline earnings
Headline earnings for the fifteen months to 30 June 2011
amounted to R5 555 million compared to R3 355 million for the
twelve months to 31 March 2010, representing an increase of
65.6%. This increase is mainly due to the additional six
months` equity accounted earnings from FirstRand, RMBH,
Distell and Total resulting from the change in year-end.
Headline earnings per share increased by 56.8% from 690.1
cents to 1 082.4 cents.

Refer to Annexures A and B for segmental information.
Financial services
The contribution from financial services amounted to R2 845
million (2010: R1 355 million). The increase of 110.0% is
mainly due to the inclusion of the additional six months`
equity accounted earnings from FirstRand and RMBH, as well as
the inclusion of the results of RMI Holdings that were
acquired in March 2011. Both FirstRand and RMBH reported
improved results mainly due to a significant reduction in bad
debts and improved profitability in both RMB and WesBank.
Industrial interests
The contribution of the industrial interests to headline
earnings for the period under review amounted to R2 512
million, compared to R1 982 million in 2010. The increase of
26.7% is mainly due to the inclusion of the additional six
months` equity accounted earnings from Distell, Total South
Africa and Kagiso Trust Investments (KTI), as well as the
additional three months` earnings accounted from Unilever,
Rainbow, Tsb Sugar and Wispeco. Total South Africa`s
contribution to headline earnings amounted to R289 million
(2010: R42 million). Total South Africa reported substantial
favourable stock revaluations during the six months to 30 June
2011, resulting in a substantial increase in its contribution
to Remgro`s headline earnings when compared to its
contribution of R99 million for the twelve months to March
2011. KTI`s contribution to headline earnings amounted to R256
million (2010: R128 million), favourably impacted by fair
value adjustments relating to its shareholding in MMI Holdings
Limited and Adcock Ingram Holdings Limited. Distell`s
contribution to Remgro`s headline earnings, which includes the
investments in Capevin Holdings and Capevin Investments,
amounted to R433 million (2010: R281 million). Rainbow and
Unilever`s contribution to headline earnings amounted to R285
million and R374 million respectively (2010: R259 million and
R279 million). Rainbow experienced difficult trading
conditions in the quarter to June 2011, with its contribution
to Remgro`s headline earnings only increasing by R12 million
since March 2011. Tsb Sugar`s contribution to headline
earnings declined to R187 million (2010: R227 million) despite
the additional three trading months. This decline is mainly
due to a non-recurring cost of R43 million accounted for
during the period under review relating to the closure of a
pension fund, as well as a profit of R34 million in the
comparative period relating to a change in the valuation
methodology of its biological agricultural assets. Mediclinic
was only accounted for the twelve months to March 2011 and its
contribution to headline earnings amounted to R474 million
(2010: R460 million).
Media interests
Media interests consist of the interests in Sabido, MARC, One
Digital Media (ODM) and Premier Team Holdings (PTH). Sabido
was only accounted for the twelve months to March 2011 and its
contribution to Remgro`s headline earnings amounted to R116
million (2010: R11 million). Both MARC and PTH were accounted
for the eighteen months to June 2011. After allowing for the
negative fair value adjustment of R24 million on the
conversion right relating to the MARC convertible preference
shares, its contribution to headline earnings amounted to a
loss of R14 million. PTH`s contribution to headline earnings
also amounted to a loss of R52 million. In 2010 no income from
PTH was accounted for, while MARC contributed R5 million to
Remgro`s headline earnings. ODM`s contribution to headline
earnings amounted to a loss of R30 million (2010: R1 million
profit).
Mining interests
After the unbundling of the investment in Trans Hex to Remgro
shareholders during September 2010, Implats is the only
remaining investment being reported under mining interests.
Dividends received from Implats amounted to R112 million
(2010: R85 million), while no income from Trans Hex was
accounted for during the period under review (2010: R11
million).
Technology interests
Technology interests primarily represent the interest in the
CIV group of companies, as well as the investments in Tracker
and SEACOM. For the period under review the CIV group was only
accounted for the twelve months to March 2011 and contributed
R91 million to Remgro`s headline earnings (2010: R7 million).
Tracker`s contribution to headline earnings amounted to R57
million. SEACOM reported a headline loss of R203 million for
the eighteen months to June 2011, with Remgro`s share of this
loss amounting to R51 million. SEACOM is cash flow positive
and Remgro received dividends of USD6 million during the
period under review. No income from Tracker and SEACOM were
accounted for in the comparative period. It should be noted
that with effect from 31 December 2010 the investment in
Tracker was reclassified as an investment "held for sale".
Other investments
The contribution of other investments to headline earnings
improved by R92 million to R28 million (2010: R64 million
loss). It should be noted that a headline loss amounting to
R79 million for Xiocom was included in the results of the
comparative period. This investment was sold in March 2010.
For the period under review Business Partners was only
accounted for the twelve months to March 2011 and its
contribution to headline earnings amounted to R18 million
(2010: R12 million).
Central treasury and other net corporate costs
Higher average cash balances resulted in an increase in the
contribution from the central treasury division to R89 million
(2010: R57 million). Other net corporate costs amounted to
R162 million (2010: R101 million).
Headline earnings for the twelve months ended 30 June 2011
During the period under review the financial year-end of the
Company was changed from 31 March to 30 June, as set out in
detail above. As additional information to shareholders we
have prepared an analysis of headline earnings for the twelve
months to June 2011. This will enable shareholders to make a
meaningful comparison when Remgro publishes its results for
the twelve months to June 2012 during September next year.
In a similar way we will also present an analysis of headline
earnings for the six months ended December 2010 when Remgro
releases its results for the six months to December 2011.

Total earnings
Total earnings increased by 254.3% to R10 841 million (2010:
R3 060 million), mainly as a result of the earnings growth of
the underlying investments, as well as the capital gains
amounting to R4 252 million realised on the FirstRand/RMBH
restructuring transactions. These gains include the profit
realised on the restructuring transactions by Remgro as well
as Remgro`s share of the profits realised by FirstRand and
RMBH.
6. Intrinsic value
Remgro`s intrinsic value per share increased by 11.8% from
R121.64 at 31 March 2010 to R135.97 at 30 June 2011. Refer to
Annexure B for full details.
7. Investment activities
The most important investment activities during the period
under review were as follows:
FirstRand Limited (FirstRand) and RMB Holdings Limited (RMBH)
On 12 November 2010 it was announced that all of the
suspensive conditions of the proposed merger of Metropolitan
Holdings Limited and Momentum Group Limited, as well as the
subsequent unbundling by FirstRand of its entire shareholding
in the new merged entity (MMI Holdings Limited (MMI)) to its
ordinary shareholders, were fulfilled. On 13 December 2010
Remgro received 81.2 million MMI shares in terms of the above
transaction.
During March 2010 RMBH also announced that it was exploring a
number of restructuring steps to realign its investment
portfolio and to enhance shareholder value. The restructuring
commenced during December 2010 and included the separation of
RMBH`s insurance and banking interests (RMI Holdings Limited
(RMI Holdings) and RMBH respectively) and resulted in a
separate listing of both companies. In terms of the
restructuring Remgro disposed of its entire holding in MMI to
RMI Holdings in exchange for shares in RMI Holdings, and now
has the following direct interests in the respective entities
after the completion of all related restructuring
transactions:
RMI Holdings 34.9%
RMBH 31.5%
FirstRand 3.9%
Due to the fact that Remgro only acquired its interest in RMI
Holdings during March 2011, the results of that company was
only accounted for the four months to 30 June 2011.
Nampak Limited (Nampak)
During August 2010 Remgro sold its 13.3% interest in Nampak
through an accelerated book build offering for a total
consideration of R1 358.9 million (or R17.40 per share).
During the period under review the results of Nampak were
equity accounted for the four months to 31 July 2010 and its
contribution to Remgro`s headline earnings amounted to R33
million (2010: R73 million).
Trans Hex Group Limited (Trans Hex)
During September 2010 the investment in Trans Hex was
unbundled and each Remgro shareholder received 5.85 Trans Hex
shares for every 100 Remgro shares held. As the investment in
Trans Hex was reclassified as an investment "held for sale" in
the previous financial year, no income from Trans Hex was
accounted for during the period under review (2010: R11
million).
Mediclinic International Limited (Mediclinic)
During August 2010 a further R591.9 million was invested in
Mediclinic in terms of a rights offer whereby Mediclinic
shareholders could subscribe for an additional 10 Mediclinic
shares for every 100 shares held at a price of R23.00 per
share. On 30 June 2011 Remgro`s interest in Mediclinic was
45.2% (31 March 2010: 45.7%).
Business Partners Limited (Business Partners)
During the period under review Remgro acquired a further 14
381 742 Business Partners shares for a total consideration of
R79.3 million. On a fully diluted basis, Remgro`s interest in
Business Partners increased to 28.8% (31 March 2010: 20.8%).
Kagiso Trust Investments (Pty) Limited (KTI) and the Kagiso
Infrastructure Empowerment Fund (KIEF)
During the 2007 financial year, Remgro entered into agreements
with KTI and KIEF, in terms of which it committed funds
amounting to R350 million to KIEF. The fund has a target size
of R650 million and aims to invest in infrastructure projects,
including roads, airports, power and tele-communication
installations, railway systems, ports, water and social
infrastructure. During the period under review Remgro invested
a further R134.2 million in KIEF. By 30 June 2011, Remgro had
invested R228.4 million of the R350 million committed.
Dark Fibre Africa (Pty) Limited (Dark Fibre)
In the past Remgro only had an indirect interest of 31.3% in
Dark Fibre through its interests in the CIV group of
companies. During the period under review an amount of R142.6
million was invested directly in Dark Fibre, while an
additional amount of R292.6 million was invested in the CIV

announcement made on 20 September 2011 by Remgro and Grindrod.
In terms of an agreement reached with Grindrod, Remgro has
agreed to subscribe for 133 333 334 new Grindrod ordinary
