Commentary                                                                      
Business environment                                                            
The Group is pleased to report the continued improvement in the financial       
results for the year with headline earnings increasing 34,3% to 407,7           
cents a share. 2011 could be described as a watershed year. Firstly, the        
strategy of separating out Furniture Retail from Financial Services             
embarked upon three years ago, started to deliver the envisaged financial       
returns and secondly, the acquisition of Unitrans Auto and Steinbuild           
from 1 July 2011 added complementary retail assets which further                
diversifies the Group from its reliance on furniture retail.                    
The Group now comprises six divisions, being Furniture Retail, Cash             
Retail, Automotive and Home Improvement on the retail side with Financial       
Services and New Business Development providing the consumer finance            
offering to all our retail formats.                                             
Financial review                                                                
General                                                                         
The improved financial performance experienced in the first half of the         
financial year continued during the second six months. The results for          
the year include Unitrans Auto and Steinbuild for two months as well as a       
change to calendar month-end in Furniture Retail and HiFi Corp resulting        
in a 50-week trading year for these two divisions. The inclusion of             
Unitrans Auto and Steinbuild added R2,4 billion to revenue but the two          
weeks lost by Furniture Retail and HiFi Corp reduced turnover by R282           
million when compared to the prior year.                                        
The key features of the annual results are the following:                       
- Turnover up 32% to R11,7 billion                                              
- An increase in operating profit of 39% to R1,06 billion (2010: R760           
million)                                                                        
- A 10% reduction in debtors cost to R677 million (down from R753 million       
in 2010)                                                                        
- Total trade and other receivables book growing from R5,3 billion in           
2010 to R6,7 billion at 31 August 2011                                          
- Headline earnings per share of 407,7 cents (2010: 303,6 cents)                
- Dividend per share of 200 cents (2010: 150 cents)                             
Furniture Retail                                                                
The Furniture Retail division reported excellent full year results with         
operating profit up 73,1% to R315 million (from R182 million in 2010). On       
a like-for-like basis, if the division had reported for a full 52 weeks,        
sales growth would have been a respectable 11,8%. The division also             
increased its gross margin from 34,5% to 36,0% and contained expense            
growth to 7,1%.                                                                 
Cash Retail                                                                     
The Cash Retail division, comprising Incredible Connection and HiFi Corp,       
reported excellent results with a 17,9% growth in operating profit from         
R190 million in 2010 to R224 million in 2011. Particularly noteworthy, is       
the increase in the operating margin to 4,9% (2010: 4,4%). This was             
achieved despite the impact of significant price deflation in key               
categories and the very competitive landscape. That being said, sales on        
a like-for-like basis were up by 7,4% if you include HiFi Corp sales for        
the full 52 weeks.                                                              
Financial Services                                                              
Our Financial Services division, which now includes the results of              
Maravedi that was previously reported as part of the New Business               
Development division, continued its impressive performance by generating        
an operating profit of R723 million (2010: R604 million). Especially            
pleasing was the reduction in debtors cost to R675 million (2010: R753          
million) and the impairment ratio of 9,2% (2010: 11,2%). This reduction         
in debtors costs was achieved despite the growth in the debtors book.           
Consumer finance debtors grew to R5,9 billion (2010: R5,2 billion) with         
the credit risk profile continuing to improve. Revenue growth was               
curtailed due to the lower interest rate environment with finance income        
only increasing 0,8% year-on-year but the division produced solid growth        
in our insurance and other revenue lines resulting in a 5,5% increase in        
revenue to R3,3 billion (2010: R3,1 billion). Credit granting and credit        
collections are a core strength of the Financial Services division with         
bad debt write-off levels reducing to R711 million from R930 million in         
the previous year and current collection rates at 6,4% (2010: 6,1%). Both       
of these key indicators are most encouraging as we look to extend our           
Financial Services product offer to new channels.                               
International                                                                   
The results of Abra have been shown separately as a discontinued                
operation. The division reported a loss of R1 million for the year              
against a profit of R15 million in 2010. The sale of Abra to Steinhoff          
Europe became effective on 1 September 2011.                                    
New Business Development                                                        
Our New Business Development division, which now only consists of Blake,        
generated an operating profit of R30 million (2010: R15 million). The           
core business activities of Blake are delivering sustainable results on         
the back of more efficient use of its contact centre and an unwavering          
focus on cost control.                                                          
Unitrans Auto and Steinbuild                                                    
It is also gratifying to report on the results of our newly acquired            
businesses Unitrans Auto and Steinbuild. The two businesses generated           
operating profits for the two months since acquisition amounting to R59         
million.                                                                        
Balance sheet and cash flow                                                     
Cash generated by trading increased from R980 million to R1,3 billion for       
the year as a result of the substantial increase in operating profit. We        
utilised R632 million in growing the debtors book and a further R722            
million to fund additions to property, plant and equipment. This mainly         
relates to the investment in our key strategic initiatives with the roll-       
out of the new ERP systems in Furniture Retail and Financial Services as        
well as the acquisition of a number of new distribution centres.                
The Group raised R1,6 billion in long-term borrowings with 3 year or            
longer maturities in order to fund its investing and working capital            
activities.                                                                     
Our balance sheet remains particularly strong with net interest-bearing         
debt of R1,2 billion, including the Abra cash, at a gearing ratio of            
14,5%. This provides the Group with ample scope to fund its future growth       
strategy.                                                                       
Prospects                                                                       
The extensive investments to ensure the Group`s ability to substantially        
grow its core businesses are well on track. The Group is now well               
positioned and confident about the year ahead.

The sale of Abra is based on its audited results to 31 August 2011 as           
disclosed in the Group circular dated 24 May 2011. The closing actions          
relating to the sale are currently in process. The sale should be               
concluded by mid-December.                                                      
The Group announced on SENS on 19 October 2011 that Steinhoff                   
International Holdings Limited (Steinhoff) had acquired from the existing       
shareholders, subject to certain conditions precedent, call options over        
JD Group Limited ordinary shares, which, if exercised, may result in            
Steinhoff`s shareholding in the Group increasing from approximately 32%         
to in excess of 50%. The call options expire on 31 March 2012.                  
As a result of Steinhoff`s existing shareholding exceeding 25%, the Group       
is considering changing its year end to 30 June to coincide with that of        
Steinhoff.                                                                      
Other than those disclosed in the profit announcement, no other                 
significant events have occurred in
