COMMENTARY
The results of the group for the 12 months ended 31 March 2002 continue
to prove that the decision by the directors to restructure the group during
the previous financial periods was correct and has resulted in this group
producing positive results for the period under review.
Turnover of R73,5 million (2001 - R83,6 million) for this reporting
period compares favourably to previous reporting periods, taking in to
account that the group sold certain assets of Watson Tile and Concrete (Pty)
Limited and ceased to produce concrete roof tiles from April 2001. The
increase in earnings per share to 22,3 cents, (net profit for the year,
divided by the average number of shares in issue) headline earnings per
share to 8,2 cents, (net profit for the period, less profit on sale of
discontinued operations, divided by average number of shares in issue) and
net asset value to 95,7 cents per share confirms the directors confidence in
the group's activities.
PROSPECTS
The group continues to expand its market share in the markets it services
and it is pleasing to report that many customers who recently ceased using
the group's products have reconsidered their position and they are again
supporting this group. The group does not have any overdraft facility and
has been self reliant on cash to achieve its budget expectations and barring
any unforeseen circumstances the directors believe that the budgets for the
financial period ending 31 March 2003 will be met.
DIVIDENDS
No dividend has been declared or recommended for the financial year ended
31 March 2002.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The results comply with all the Statements of Generally Accepted
Accounting Practices and are consistent with the group's policies.
