COMMENTARY
RESULTS
The board presents its audited results for the year ended 28 February 2010 in
accordance with IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting. The company is an
investment holding company and its subsidiaries are primarily involved in the
manufacture and servicing of electromagnets and motor rewinding and the
wholesaling of electrical and related equipment.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
In line with prevailing economic conditions, the group experienced a 4.6%
decline in revenue. Group headline earnings per share fell from 43.48 to 26.47
cents earnings per share. The company has not appointed an audit committee for
the year in terms of section 269A(1) of the Companies Act nor has it adhered
to certain listing requirements relating to corporate governance. The company
has undertaken to the JSE Limited that should the transactions referred to in
"Subsequent Events and Future Prospects" below not be implemented for any
reason whatsoever, the current board will ensure that the failure to appoint
an audit committee and comply with the Listings Requirements will be
rectified.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
Shareholders are referred to the SENS cautionary announcement dated 14 May
2010 and are advised that the company has entered into various agreements,
dated 11 May 2010, which, when taken together will result in:
a) the company repurchasing 35.53% of its issued share capital; and
b) the company disposing of its existing subsidiaries
As a result of the above transactions the company will become a cash shell.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND REVIEW
The financial results have been prepared in accordance with accounting
policies that comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")
and the Companies Act of 1973. The accounting policies and methods of
measurement and recognition are consistent with those applied in the previous
financial period. The results have been audited by Horwath Leveton Boner,
whose modified report is available for inspection at the registered office of
the company. The modification relates to the company`s failure to appoint an
audit committee and to comply with certain listing requirements and is set out
below:
* "In accordance with our responsibilities in terms of Section 45 of the
Auditing Profession Act No. 26 of 2005, we identified a recurring
reportable irregularity in that the company has not complied with Section
269A(1) of the Companies Act, which is an obligation to appoint an audit
committee.
* In addition, the JSE Ltd have found that Cenmag Holdings Limited and its
directors have contravened paragraph 3.84 of the Listing Requirements in
that Cenmag Holdings Limited:
1) Has no audit committee.
2) No separate chairman and chief executive officer.
3) No full time financial director as the financial director is also the
chief executive officer.
4) No independent directors and has no director that is capable of
fulfilling the role of the lead independent director
5) No remuneration committee.
This constitutes a reportable irregularity in terms of the Auditing
Professional Act and we reported such matters to the Independent Regulatory
Board for Auditors."
DIRECTORS
Shareholders attention is drawn to the fact that Mr Victor Farkas fulfils the
roles of Chairperson, Chief Executive Officer, Financial Director and
Secretary of the Company, which is a contravention of the corporate governance
requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements. The Company is aware of this
contravention and has justified it based on the size of the company, that Mr
Farkas has the necessary skills and experience and that it represents a cost
saving to the Company.
Mr JJ Farkas was appointed to the board with effect from 16 September 2009 in
order to fill the casual vacancy that had arisen as a result of Ms I Mazibuko
not being re-elected as a director at the Annual General Meeting of the
company held on 7 September 2009.
GENERAL
1. No new shares were issued and no special resolutions were passed during
the period under review.
2. No dividends were recommended or declared for the period.
