Introduction The results for the half year to 30 June 2013 are presented to you against the backdrop of multiple economic environmental challenges dominated by acute low liquidity levels. Economic growth forecasts were revised from 4% to 3.4% while year on year inflation closed the first half at 1.87%. The expected resurgence of the mining sector and implementation of infrastructural water projects did not take off as was expected at last year end. Performance The first half of the year focused more on fund raising initiatives which resulted in the company accessing USD 1m from the DIMAF (Distressed and Marginalised Areas Fund) facility in March 2013. The funds were applied towards economic sourcing of raw materials thereby enhancing the company's competitiveness in the market. Due to the low raw materials stock levels and order book in the first half of the year, volumes at 447 metric tonnes were 30% lower than the 641 tonnes recorded in the same period prior year. The turnover at US$2 million was also 30% lower than prior year's US$2.9 million. Cost reduction initiatives resulted in savings of 10%. The accessing of cheaper DIMAF funds resulted in savings in the cost of funds. However, the increased borrowings resulted in finance costs being 39% above prior year at US$103 000. The operating loss for the half year at US$883 000 was a decline of 21% compared to the US$732 000 recorded in the prior year as capacity utilisation reduced to an average 15%. Outlook Fund raising initiatives will continue in the second half of the year in an effort to improve
the company's market positioning and competitiveness. Due to low levels of investment in plant and machinery since dollarization, the sought funds will be applied towards additional working capital and plant optimisation. This effort is expected to address the anticipated improved demand of the company's products from both the mining and agricultural sectors which are expected to rebound in the short term. Although competition from imports will be inevitable, the company believes that with the appropriate funding it can fend off competition through competitive pricing, product and adequate technical support. Dividend At a meeting held on 17 September 2013, the Board considered that in light of the company's performance in the period under review and the need for a successful turnaround it was not prudent to declare a dividend for the period to 30 June 2013. Directorate On the 26th of June 2013 Mr Israel Murefu was appointed to the Board and we welcome him. Appreciation The perseverance of employees, management, support from all our stakeholders and the wise counsel from my fellow Directors is greatly appreciated. I thank you all for supporting us through this difficult period. By Order Of The Board Chairman 17 September 2013
