NOTES TO THE CONDENSED GROUP ANNUAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. Basis of preparation. The condensed consolidated financial information
("financial information") announcement is based on the audited financial
statements of the group for the year ended 30 June 2006 which have been prepared
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), the
Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited and the South African Companies Act
(1973). The financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2006 are Cashbuild"s
first published financial statements stating compliance with IFRS. Refer to the
reconciliation of previous GAAP to IFRS for the effects of IFRS compliance on
previously reported financial statements. The nature of all items reconciling SA
GAAP to IFRS has been described in detail in the financial statements for the
year ended 30 June 2006.
2. Independent audit by the auditors. These condensed consolidated results have
been audited by our auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., who have performed
their audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing. A copy
of their unqualified audit report is available for inspection at the registered
office of the company.
3. Reclassification of finance leases. Based on the reinterpretation of IAS 17
in respect of the classification of operating leases as finance leases, certain
operating leases were reclassified as finance leases. This reinterpretation was
taken into account in compiling the results and assets and liabilities amounting
to R 12.0 million and R 1.5 million respectively, have been accounted for on the
balance sheet
4. Effects of changes in foreign exchange rates. IAS 21 introduces the concept
of "functional currency". This change affected the accounting for the African
subsidiaries of Cashbuild, where there was reclassification of certain foreign
exchange gains and losses from the income statement to the foreign currency
translation reserve ("FCTR") in the balance sheet. The IFRS 1 exemption was
elected, which had the effect of eliminating the FCTR on the date of transition
(1 July 2004).
5. Property, plant and equipment. IAS 16 requires the reassessment of an asset"s
useful life and residual value at each balance sheet date. Applying this
statement retrospectively has had the effect of the results being restated.
6. Reporting period. The group adopts the retail accounting calendar, which
comprises the reporting period ending on the last Saturday of the month (2006:
24 June (52 weeks); 2005: 25 June (52 weeks)).
7. Earnings per share. Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings
attributable to shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of
22,575,442 ordinary shares in issue during the year. (June 2005: 21,905,687
shares).
8. Headline earnings per ordinary share. The calculations of headline earnings
and diluted headline earnings per ordinary share are based on headline earnings
of R 82.8 million (June 2005: R 78.4 million) and a weighted average of
22,575,442 (June 2005: 21,905,687) and fully diluted of 22,575,442 (June 2005:
21,905,687) ordinary shares in issue.

Cashbuild Limited. The dividend per share is calculated based on 25,805,347

COMMENTS
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Cashbuild is southern Africa"s largest retailer of quality building materials
and associated products, selling direct to a cash-paying customer-base through
our constantly expanding chain of stores (150 at the end of this reporting
period). Cashbuild carries an in-depth quality product range tailored to the
specific needs of the communities we serve. Our customers are typically home-
builders and improvers, contractors, farmers, traders, large construction
companies and government-related infrastructure developers, as well as all other
customers requiring quality building materials at lowest prices.
Cashbuild has built its credibility and reputation by consistently offering its
customers lowest everyday prices and through a purchasing and inventory policy
that ensures that requirements are always in stock.
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
The group is reporting its audited results in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Results for the prior financial year
have been restated. The conversion to IFRS has had a limited effect on the
group"s results.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Revenue for the year increased by 23% whilst profit increased by 7%. Operating
profit improved by 10% and headline earnings by 6%. Net asset value per share
has increased by 33%, from 753 cents (June 2005) to 1,003 cents.
Stores in existence since the beginning of July 2004 (pre-existing stores)
accounted for 11% of the increase in revenue with the remaining 12% increase due
to the 28 new stores the company has opened since July 2004. The increase for
the year has been achieved on the back of a positive 1st half with revenue
growth for the second half of the year being a disappointing 11%. The result of
a change from a free national customer delivery service to a free local service,
as well as disappointing trading in our Botswana operation contributed to the
revenue growth being lower than anticipated. Management has strategically
addressed the 2nd half revenue growth and is pleased with the trading since year
end. Gross profit margins for the year remained at acceptable levels with some
downward pressure being experienced in the latter part of the fourth quarter,
combined with a shift in sales mix.
Operational expenses for the 2nd half of the financial year were well controlled
with existing stores increasing by 1%. New stores contributed 13% with the total
increase for the 2nd half being 14%. This, linked to the first half, resulted in
an overall increase for the year of 28% (existing stores 14% and new stores
14%). The non-recurrence of certain once-off costs, e.g. brand advertising and
the focus on managing the free customer delivery costs without compromising
service levels, were the main contributors to the cost savings compared to the
first half.
The effective tax rate for the year of 33.6% is at the expected level, with STC
charges being the main contributor to the higher rate.
Cashbuild"s balance sheet remains solid. Stock levels have increased by 22% on
the back of higher trading volumes (10% increase in the 4th quarter) with the
Cashbuild stock model being adhered to by line management. This increase is
further attributable to the stocking of 19 additional stores during this
financial year (accounting for 15% of the increase). Overall stockholding
remains well managed at 65 days (June 2005: 59 days). The company"s cash levels
decreased to R 132 million resulting from the step-up in the opening of new
stores, the increase in operating expenses, as well as the utilisation of cash
to early settle creditors at favourable discounts. Trade debtor balances
remained well under control.
During the financial year Cashbuild opened a record number of 17 new stores.
Cashbuild remains committed to open at least 10 new stores per year for the
foreseeable future. Six stores were refurbished and three relocated during the
financial year. The refurbishment plan and, where the opportunity arises,
relocating of certain stores will remain an area of strategic focus.
PROSPECTS
Although indications are, based on lower building plans passed and lower bond
granting, that the residential market will experience a slow-down, management is
confident that, as in the past, the alteration and improvement segment will
remain at solid growth levels which will support real revenue growth in the
future. The first 9 trading weeks after year-end have reported an increase in
revenue of 20% on that of the comparable 9 weeks.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
An independent review of the current status of the IT within the business was
commissioned at the end of the financial year. The findings of this review have
confirmed management"s belief regarding the long-term non-feasibility of the IT
solution currently in place. A comprehensive strategic plan has been developed
to address this matter.
