COMMENT ON RESULTS                                                              
Financial                                                                       
Headline earnings per share increased by 23% to 184,4 cents (June 2001: 150,3   
cents) despite incurring foreign exchange losses during the six month period of 
R21,4 million compared to foreign exchange gains of R8,5 million in the first   
six months of the 2001 financial year.                                          
Revenue increased by 47% as a result of strong sales growth in all operating    
companies and the impact of a weaker rand in the first six months of 2002       
compared to the first six months of 2001.                                       
Operating profit was adversely affected by the strengthening of the rand against
the US dollar in the first half of the current year resulting in foreign        
exchange losses of R21,4 million. The operating margin before foreign exchange  
gains and losses improved by 0,4 percentage points to 20.9%.                    
Interest capitalised on the EMD plant expansion for the six months was R7,4     
million (June 2001: R2,4 million).                                              
The rand weakness was the major factor influencing the substantial increase in  
working capital and cash utilisation.                                           
Operations                                                                      
EMD                                                                             
World demand for EMD improved as a result of the major battery manufacturers    
restocking and improved global demand for batteries. This, coupled with         
increased market share and the depreciation of the rand against the US dollar   
resulted in revenue increasing by 80% during the period under review. Although  
operating profit increased by 57% after adjusting for foreign exchange gains and
losses, operating margins were adversely affected by these gains and losses,    
increased operating costs and the cessation of the pension fund holiday.        
The South African plant expansion is progressing within budget parameters. The  
increased capacity will be available during 2003 and commissioning will be      
dependent on market conditions.                                                 
Repairs and Services                                                            
Repairs and Services had a good six months increasing revenue by 22% and        
operating profit by 31%.                                                        
Electrical Repair Engineering benefited from improved activity in the mining    
sector which, together with a large drag-line refurbishment project, resulted in
strong revenue growth and improved operating efficiencies and margins.          
Increased volumes as well as the increase in the copper price resulted in good  
growth in both revenue and operating profit for Transwire during the period.    
Wire Electric benefited from price increases due to the weakening of the rand   
which increased revenue and operating profit in most of the company`s product   
ranges.                                                                         
Replacement Parts                                                               
Replacement Parts achieved excellent growth in revenue and operating profit due 
to further market gains made in the mining sector and the decline in the rand.  
Prospects                                                                       
Global economic conditions are uncertain. Generally trading conditions are      
expected to continue as in the first half of the year. Full year comparative    
results will be impacted by the significant exchange gains in the second half of
last year.
