UNAUDITED STATEMENT TO SHAREHOLDERS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
8. (A) (i) OUTLOOK Zimbabwe Insurance Despite the current liquidity challenges, underwriting profits for the full year at all Group Insurance businesses are expected to be ahead of prior year. There will continue to be a robust review of all cost structures to ensure that expense ratios reduce to regional norms. Growth in investment income will be linked to returns prevailing in the investment market in Zimbabwe as a whole. The Competition and Tariff Commission has recently approved the acquisition of Aon Zimbabwe by Masawara PLC, which will see the rebranding of the company to Minerva in early quarter 4. 9.2 ABRIDGED GROUP STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

(ii) Hotels The refurbishment of Cresta Lodge is expected to be complete towards the end of the financial year. This will continue to reduce available rooms for sale, which will consequently constrain revenues in the ensuing half year. Cresta Sprayview opened for business on the 31 July 2013. This unit should now begin to positively contribute to group revenues. (iii) Agro-Chemicals Sable Chemicals The company will continue to engage with Government and ZESA to secure a viable electricity tariff for continued operations. Negotiations of facilities to fund imported ammonia supply are at an advanced stage. These imports will augment local production thereby increasing production of nitrogen fertilisers and ensuring greater economies of scale. ZFC The company continues to streamline its operations to adapt to the current economic environment, and is forecasting to return to profitability by the end of the financial year.
