Directors" review
These results comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
Previous results have been restated to comply with IFRS.
The current reporting period represents the first full 12-month period during
which the company has been controlled by current management. Over the past 18
months Trematon has evolved from a passive shell with one listed asset to a
diversified investment company with interests in listed shares, unlisted
entities and property.
The past 12 months have been very active and represent a positive trading and
investment period. Profit before tax amounted to R20.6m (2005: R2.7m) which
comprises mainly realised profits on trading and investment activities. These
profits were generated on net assets of R43.9m at the start of the period (the
balance of R54.4m being invested in Intec Telecom Systems plc). Gross expenses
including salaries, directors" fees and costs related to maintaining a listing,
amounted to R3.5m (2005: R3.3m).
Net asset value per share increased to 60c (from 57c at the end of the previous
financial year). The increase in net asset value was muted by the decline in the
value of Intec Telecom Systems plc. During the year the value of Trematon"s
investment in Intec declined from R54.4m to R38.6m as a result of a sharp
decline in the share price of Intec from 60.7p to 37.0p. The decline in the
share price followed a trading update in which Intec indicated that it would not
achieve its projected revenue for the 2006 financial year.
The opportunity cost of holding Intec has been significant because it represents
a material portion of Trematon"s capital and generates no income. However,
Trematon has diversified and grown its asset base and is progressively reducing
its dependence on Intec. At year-end Intec represented 37% of net assets
compared to 55% on 31 August 2005 and 100% on 31 August 2004.
The unlisted portfolio has grown to R19.4m (18.5% of net asset value) and
comprises mainly investments in Grand Parade Investments Ltd and Club Mykonos
Langebaan Ltd.
Trematon"s holding in Shops for Africa Ltd is valued at R18m (17.1% of net asset
value). Trematon currently owns 54.7m shares in Shops for Africa Ltd amounting
to 75.8% of the total equity. At year-end Shops for Africa was in liquidation.
Subsequent to the year-end Trematon made a successful application to have the
voluntary winding-up set aside. Shops for Africa Ltd is currently listed on the
JSE but trading in the shares has been suspended. Four Trematon directors have
been appointed to the board and are currently considering options which will
maximise value for shareholders. This may include, inter alia, an application to
the JSE to lift the suspension.
Trematon had no material listed investments at year-end other than as detailed
above. At the end of the 2005 financial year, Trematon held 1,700,000 linked
units in Spearhead Property Holdings Ltd. All of these linked units have been
sold.
Trematon owns 50% of Stalagmite Property Investments (Pty) Ltd which is a joint
venture with Gateway Property Developments (Pty) Ltd. Stalagmite is the holding
company for a development in the Strand, near Somerset West on the route of the
proposed new N2 highway. This investment is not yet of a significant size but
further investments are planned and Stalagmite is expected to realise material
profits over the next 12-24 months. Details of the development can be found at
www.broadwaypark.co.za
At the end of the previous financial year Trematon had an unsecured loan to
Mican Limited of R12.8m which was repaid in full during 2006. Trematon had no
borrowings and had cash on hand of R22.8m at year-end.
Trematon"s policy is to reinvest its cash resources and accordingly, no dividend
was declared. Shareholders should not expect any dividend payments in the short
term.
Shareholders should be aware that Trematon has very little annuity income and
that at present, all profits arise from trading and investment activities.
Trading conditions were positive during the 2006 financial year and we will
endeavour to take advantage of further opportunities in the market.

NOTES:
1 Presentation of Annual Financial Statements
Trematon Capital Investments Limited (the "company") is a company domiciled in
South Africa. The consolidated financial statements of the company for the year
ended 31 August 2006 comprise the company, its subsidiaries and its joint
venture (together referred to as the "group").
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 16
November 2006.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and its interpretations adopted by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The financial statements have
been prepared on the going concern basis using a combination of the historical
cost and fair value basis of accounting.
These are the group"s first consolidated financial statements under IFRS.
These accounting policies are consistent with the previous year, except for the
changes set out in note 3 Impact of conversion to International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The consolidated annual financial statements and the company annual financial
statements are stated in Rands, which is the company"s functional currency.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the
application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income
and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements
about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the
estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or the period of
the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future
periods.

3 Impact of conversion to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) For
the year ended 31 August 2005, the group prepared its financial statements under
South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (SA GAAP).
JSE Limited (JSE) Listings Requirements prescribe that the group prepare its
annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS. IFRS refers to the
application of International Accounting Standards (IAS) and International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
This requirement applies to all listed companies for financial reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2005 and consequently, the year ended 31 August
2006 is the group"s first published annual financial statements under IFRS. As
the group publishes comparative information for one year, the date of transition
to IFRS is 1 September 2004, which represents the start of the earliest period
of comparative information presented.
In order to explain how the group"s reported performance and financial position
are impacted by IFRS, the group has restated information previously published
under SA GAAP to the equivalent basis under IFRS. This restatement follows the
guidelines set out in IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS 1).
As required by IFRS 1 the group"s opening balance sheet at 1 September 2004
has been restated to reflect all existing IFRS statements applicable at 31
August 2006.
Impact of the conversion to IFRS is as follows:
