     The headline loss in the current year includes an impairment against the intercompany

     realised when control of the subsidiary was lost, as a result of the liquidation of the
     company. The total adjustments amount to R61.7 million and if this amount is excluded
     from the headline loss, it would result in an adjusted headline earnings of R47.9 million,
     a R74.9 million improvement from a R27.0 million loss posted in the prior year.

     Revenue from continuing operations increased by R16.5 million to R17.5 million fromR1.0
     million in the prior corresponding period.

     Headline loss per share decreased by 49% to 3.20 cents per share, from 6.29 cents per
     share in the prior corresponding period.

     Excluding the impairment of the Mac Brothers loans and write-off of receivables, the
     adjusted headline earnings per share increased by 17.43 cents to 11.14 cents per share,
     from a headline loss of 6.29 cents per share in the prior corresponding period.

     Basic Loss per share decreased by 60% to 2.73 cents per share, from 6.75 cents per
     share in the prior corresponding period.

     An ordinary final dividend of 12 cents per share was declared for the year, with no final
     ordinary dividend having been declared in respect of the previous 2021 financial year.
