Elexir Technology Holdings Limited (ETH) recorded headline earnings of          
R631,000 for the six months ended 28th February 2002, earnings of 0.44 cents    
per share in comparison with a loss of 1.00 cents over the same period last     
year. ETH's refocus on its core business has returned the group to              
profitability, as a reseller of IT equipment.                                   
Prospects:                                                                      
The financial improvement in the group companies will continue with             
increasing volumes of business from its alliances with SMMEs, and the           
further development of opportunities within the telecommunications area and     
outsourcing of security management and bandwidth management.                    
Accounting policies:                                                            
The interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with South          
African statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and are based      
on appropriate accounting policies which are consistent with those applied      
in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2001.           
Going concern:                                                                  
The financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the group    
will continue trading for the foreseeable future, that assets will be           
realised in the ordinary course of business and liabilities will be settled     
as and when they fall due. The directors have given serious consideration to    
their responsibilities to creditors and shareholders and are of the opinion     
that continued profitable trading enhances creditor claims over the assets      
of the company and it is, therefore their obligation to continue trading        
under these circumstances.                                                      
Auditor's review opinion:                                                       
The group's auditors, Fisher Hoffman PKF (Cape Town) Inc., have issued an       
adverse review opinion drawing attention to the disclosure regarding going      
concern and to the fact that the group remains technically insolvent. They      
specifically refer to the auditor's report contained in the annual report       
for the year ended 31 August 2001.                                              
Board of directors:                                                             
During the period Mr D Lockey resigned as an non-executive director on 11       
December 2001, and Mr MNA Mokoape resigned as Chairman on 7 February 2002,      
Mr JA Casey was appointed as acting chairman on 13 February 2002.               
At the annual general meeting held on 30 April 2002 the directors offered       
themselves for re-election and were re-elected as executive directors.
