REVIEW OF RESULTS
The Board is pleased to report that the Group's headline earnings for the
six months ended 31 December 2001 grew to R385 million
(2000: R270 million) on increased revenues of R3 912 million (2000:
R2 853 million) in a challenging and competitive business environment.
The operating margin was maintained at 10% during the period and is expected
to at least remain at this level for the remainder of the financial year.
Net finance charges reduced by R1,6 million as a result of improved working
capital management and continuing favourable interest rates.
The relatively low effective tax charge is due mainly to the Group's
favourable tax dispensations in central Europe. The effective tax rate is
not anticipated to change materially in the foreseeable future.
Headline earnings per share increased by 36% to 45 cents (2000:
33 cents).
The Group utilised cash and increased its gearing to fund the offshore
acquisitions.
The Group's equity was further enhanced by R293 million (2000:
R17 million) as a result of the increase of the foreign currency translation
reserve: this arose on the translation of the foreign net assets at 31
December 2001 and was credited directly to non-distributable reserves.
These interim results have been prepared in accordance with statements of
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The same accounting policies have
been used in the preparation of these results as those in the previous
financial period.

The average exchange rate used to translate foreign currency income and
expenditure into South African rand was R4,26: 1DM (2000: R3,34: 1DM).
R414 million (2000: R275 million) of Africa's revenue represents exports to
the USA and the European community, amounting to approximately 32%
(2000: 25%) of its activities. It is the intention of the Group to continue
to increase these exports into the future. The Group's revenue exposure to
the local South African furniture market reduced further to 20% (2000: 25%).
Comments
CORPORATE ACTIVITY
The Group continued, during the period under review, to implement a number
of transactions and acquisitions. It also commenced with further initiatives
to ensure the continued growth of its business and earnings.
Relyon Group Ltd, a previously listed company in the UK is now a wholly-
owned subsidiary with effect from 1 October 2001.
The integration of the Freedom Group's manufacturing division in Australia
and New Zealand with Steinhoff's own facilities only became effective since
1 October 2001.
The Group increased its holding in Unitrans Limited at 31 December 2001 to
approximately 22%. It further increased its investment to above 25% at the
date of this report.
Two new brands, Egoform and Dieter Knoll were acquired. These brands are
targeted at the top end of the European furniture market. They were
successfully launched during January 2002 at the international furniture
fair in Cologne, Germany.
A joint venture agreement was entered into with the La-Z-Boy Group of the
USA for the development of the La-Z-Boy brand in the European and Eastern
European communities. This product range was also successfully launched at
the Cologne fair.
DIVIDEND
It is the Group's policy to declare dividends once a year, after its
financial year-end on 30 June.
PROSPECTS
Steinhoff Africa will continue to increase its exports out of Africa. It
will make further investment in raw material production facilities,
especially in the saw-milling business, and various proposals are currently
being evaluated.
Management is confident that the Group will continue to achieve real
earnings growth for the rest of the financial year.
