General review
Introduction
The board of directors of Bryant herewith present the abridged, reviewed
results for the twelve-month period ended on 30 June 2006.
Results
It was announced on SENS on 23 March 2006 that the acquisition of the
interest in Capmed Holdings Ltd lapsed, but that Bryant was pursuing the
purchase of substitute assets.
Bryant suffered a loss during the year due to the costs of the listing and
of the negotiations to acquire such assets.
Steps taken
To improve the liquidity of Bryant, the company, after the financial year-
end, entered into a written agreement with its main shareholders to provide
it with a short-term loan of not less than R10,000,000 to cover the cost of
restructuring, acquisitions and black economic empowerment ("BEE")
arrangements.
Negotiations are also continuing between such shareholders and the present
holders of the long-term loan accounts of R2,000,000 to acquire such loans
and cede them to Bryant at a nominal amount for cancellation.
Operations
At the annual general meeting held on 21 July 2006 it was resolved that the
company would continue doing business as a technology and technology
trading business, while proceeding with its restructuring, acquisition of
other assets and BEE arrangements.
Negotiations
Bryant is at an advanced stage of negotiations to acquire a number of
additional assets, and to make the arrangements to become a broad based BEE
controlled company. Subject to the approval of the JSE Ltd, this will form
the subject matter of an announcement and circular to shareholders at the
appropriate time. In the interim, shareholders" attention is drawn to the
further cautionary notice below.
Directors
At the annual general meeting four additional directors were appointed.
The board of directors therefore consists of JD Abrahams, LI Baisitse, D
Case, SJ de Jongh and ZA Kota.
It is the policy of the company at all times to have a BEE controlled board
of directors.
Further Cautionary
Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcements released on SENS
on 23 June 2006, 10 August 2006 and 22 September 2006.
As the board of Bryant continues to pursue acquisition opportunities for
the company, shareholders are accordingly advised to continue to exercise
caution when dealing in the company"s securities until a further
announcement is made in this regard.
