COMMENTS
Results
The earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders for the period ended 30
September 2001, reflects a steady improvement for the group over the
corresponding period in 2000.
Turnover improved by 31% over the previous period. The increased turnover
together with the tight budgetary controls has seen earnings per share
increase to 3,3 cents from 0,8 cents per share.
Share repurchase
At the annual general meeting held on 24 August 2001, members passed a
special resolution authorising inter alia, the purchase of a maximum of 27
797 047 shares in Scharrig Mining Limited. By September 2001 when the
company entered into its closed period a wholly owned subsidiary purchased
10 815 096 shares at a cost of R3 694 852, giving an average cost of 34,2
cents per share.
The listing of 10 759 896 shares in Scharrig Mining Limited was withdrawn
from the JSE Securities Exchange on 12 October 2001, in terms of the share
repurchase scheme.
We will continue to adopt a cautious approach to repurchase taking into
account our cash requirements as well as the cost of capital. Circumstances
will therefore dictate the extent of the repurchasers.
PROSPECTS
Coal
The current order book held by the group promises to maintain current
profitably levels for the next year.
Diamonds
Despite the current down turn in the world diamond market, we are confident
that this aspect of the group's business will continue to perform.
Dividend
An interim dividend of 1 cent per share (2000: nil) has been declared,
payable on 11 March 2002 to shareholders registered as such at close of
business on Friday 8 March 2002, being the record date in order to
participate in such dividend.
The last day to trade cum dividend is Friday 1 March 2002. The share will
trade ex dividend from Monday 4 March 2002.
There will be no rematerialisation/dematerialisation between Monday 25
February 2002 and Friday 8 March 2002, both days inclusive.
