VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT - UNAUDITED NAV STATEMENT AND RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY
Shareholders are aware that JCI has completed and distributed Annual Financial
Statements for the period 2005 to 2010, and is in the process of finalising
Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2011.
Unaudited net asset value statement
An unaudited Net Asset Value ("NAV") Statement of the JCI Group at 31 October
2011 has been prepared and presented below which provides shareholders with the
unaudited financial position of JCI at that date.
JCI`s NAV at 31 October 2011 is approximately R241 million less than the
unaudited NAV at 30 September 2010 principally due to the write down of the
investment in Boschendal and the ongoing running costs of JCI for 13 months.
The Board of Directors is assessing the future of JCI and will advise
shareholders of any developments in this regard.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED NET ASSET VALUE STATEMENT
1 BOSCHENDAL
The directors believe that in the current market conditions R250 million is a
realistic value.
2 XELEXWA (PTY LTD
The value of this claim, which is the subject of arbitration which will commence
on 11 March 2012, is R162 million representing the value payable to JCI on 31
December 2010 in respect of the redemption of redeemable preference shares with
interest thereon, plus the recovery of legal costs of approximately R4 million,
already awarded in JCI`s favour by the Eastern Cape High Court.
3 PROPERTIES
The Group`s Benmore, Howick, Hatfield and London properties were sold during the
period.
4 TAXATION RECOVERABLE / INCOME TAX / VAT / CGT PAYABLE
Due to the complexity of the various past and present transactions and
settlements in the JCI Group, JCI has sought legal advice on numerous tax
issues. The amount owing to or due by JCI to/by SARS will be finally calculated
after taking such advice into account.
The amount shown as income tax payable is based on a preliminary evaluation of
such legal advice.
RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
Further to the cautionary announcement released by JCI on 28 October 2011,
shareholders of JCI are advised to continue to exercise caution until such time
as a further cautionary announcement is released.
