 These results have been compiled in accordance with South African Statements   
of Generally Accepted                                                           
 Accounting Practice.                                                           
 The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been used in the  
preparation of these unaudited                                                  
interim statements as were used in the preparation of the audited financial    
statements to 31 December 2002.                                                 
 Line items in respect of disposed operations relate to subsidiaries sold in    
the previous financial year.                                                    
Commentary                                                                     
 The Board is pleased to announce the interim results of Alacrity for the six   
months ended 30 June 2003.                                                      
 These results show the much improved performance of the company after certain  
restructuring initiatives                                                       
 were completed and some activities were disposed of during the previous        
financial year, leaving the                                                     
 company with two focused wholly-owned subsidiaries, namely Prestasi Brokers    
and Pamodzi Risk Solutions.                                                     
 Compared with the interim results for the same period last year, profit        
before tax on continued                                                         
 operations increased by 724% and, on an after tax basis, by 710%.  Headline    
earnings per share increased by 91%.                                            
 The Board is confident that the trend of improved performance will be          
maintained during the second half                                               
 of the year and that additional income streams, that are expected to           
aterialize during the latter part of the year,                                  
 will contribute positively to the full year results.                           
 The Board is therefore confident that Alacrity has turned the corner and that  
shareholders would see                                                          
a sustained improvement in the company"s performance henceforth.
