The year under review has been exciting forSea Kay, culminating in the JSE approvingthe listing of a total of 477 530 895 shares on16 August 2007 on the main board.
This past year has also been both challengingand exciting for Sea Kay, as the groupbecame the first mass housing constructioncompany to list on the main board of the JSE.This has greatly increased the group’s visibility,profile and reputation. Sea Kay’s strategy is togrow both organically and throughacquisitions. Opportunities have made thispossible, along with the hard work of our staff.
I would like to take this opportunity to thankthe management and all employees across allour operating divisions for all their supportand enthusiastic commitment.
The construction industry is currentlyexperiencing an unprecedented boom, which
in our minds, will continue past the hype of2010. There is every indication that thedemand for the products and services thatparticularly suit the capability of the group willremain positive for the foreseeable future.The buoyant South African market has thrivedand our results reflect the market conditions.
The past year has seen the group makeprogress in its long-term strategy to developand manufacture a supply chain of products toimprove the quality and delivery of finalproducts to the market.

Review of operations
Rural Development Programme(RDP) – Houses CONTRIBUTION TO
GROUP REVENUE 68%
The traditional RDP
house as known in the
market has undergone a
number of changes over
the past five years and
Sea Kay Engineering was a major role player
in this regard. Sea Kay Engineering improved
the RDP house by providing this market with a
metal roof truss solution, and cement tiles as
cladding material. Delivery of quality product,
in the entry level market, has resulted in a
definite upliftment of communities.
HIGHLIGHT
Some success has also been achieved in
introducing alternate topologies in order to
expand the division’s existing range of
improved products to clients.
The group is focused on subsidised,affordable and bonded housing
Sea Kay is focused on the provision of subsidy housing, more commonly known as the low cost andaffordable housing market (including the so-called “credit linked” products) as well as excellentquality bonded housing products, schools and other construction products in turnkey developments(such as hospitals, clinics, police stations and shopping centres). This construction market is bothviable and lucrative and has proven to be economically sustainable.
An improvement in operational efficiencies, coupled with higher delivery volumes, has resulted in
improved earnings.
Sea Kay Annual Report 2007 13
BNG – Breaking New GroundCONTRIBUTION TO
GROUP REVENUE 8,2%
BNG stands for
“breaking new ground”
and is a term initiated
by the National
Department of Housing
for the new Government
housing policy
regarding integrated sustainable human
settlements. To ensure sustainability,
Government has decided to move away from
the traditional RDP housing units that were
very basic in concept, to the improved and
more expensive BNG model. The new BNG
housing unit will ensure that the entry level
housing unit in the integrated model allows
for different types of more expensive houses
to be built within the same area because it
was developed to fit in with more expensive
and upmarket houses. In this regard Sea Kay
(through Ibuyile) played a major role in the
development of the BNG model in the
N2 Gateway project that serves as a pilot
project for the policy of integrated
sustainable human settlements. The National
Department of Housing’s idea is to enable
families to work, live and play in the same
area with the possibility of upgrading to
bigger and better housing opportunities
without the need to leave the area every time
the family can afford a better home.
Efforts to increase offerings in the improved
housing topology have been favourably
received on certain of our larger customer
sites.
HIGHLIGHT
The N2 Gateway Delft Symphony pilot
project is the first to develop the product
intended to replace the early RDP housing
model.
14 Sea Kay Annual Report 2007
Review of operations continued
Traditionally banks viewed this sector as toorisky and only funded houses and householdswith an income of more than R10 000 permonth. However, it remains a very seriouschallenge to provide housing at an affordableprice within the price range of R180 000 toR300 000 for people earning between R3 500 and R10 000 per month. Sea Kay haspositioned itself over the past few years toachieve this aim and remains one of thebiggest role players in implementingGovernment’s housing policy in this regard.
Sea Kay Engineering is currently involved in a
number of these projects, of which Cosmo-
City and Evaton West are probably the best
known.
Cosmo-City is Sea Kay Engineering’s first
major project in this market sector, with great
growth potential.
Evaton West is a fine example of quality GAP
houses currently being built.
HIGHLIGHT
This is a totally new market for Sea Kay with
great possibilities for future revenue
contribution.
GAP – Housing (Credit Linked)CONTRIBUTION TO GROUP REVENUE 0,22%GAP housing refers tothe gap that exists inthe combined incomeof people earningbetween R3 500 andR10 000. To house thisgroup of people posesan enormouschallenge to the National Department ofHousing as well as the construction industry.People earning less than R3 500 per monthqualify for full subsidised housing (BNG) andthose earning more than R10 000 wouldnormally qualify through financial institutionsfor bonds that enable them to afford normalbonded houses or flats. The challenge toprovide GAP housing has begun in order tofulfil and complete the National Departmentof Housing’s integrated model that bridgesBNG fully subsidised housing and normalentry level bonded houses. Governmentovercame the major part of this challengewhen it reached an agreement with the majorfinancial institutions through the BankingCharter whereby the major banks and otherfinancial institutions agreed with Governmentto provide financial assistance to householdswithin the income gap.
Sea Kay Annual Report 2007 15
Institutional HousingCONTRIBUTION TO
GROUP REVENUEThe Social Housing model was created tobuild housing for occupation on an affordablerental basis.
Sea Kay Engineering successfully completed a
number of these units after financial year end,
of which Pennyville is currently under
construction.
HIGHLIGHT
This market is more difficult and has
challenges with management of completed
units. Expansion opportunities in this market
are very limited.
Bonded HousingCONTRIBUTION TO
GROUP REVENUE
The bonded house market is a totally new
market for Sea Kay Engineering, with great
opportunities due to the fact that it forms
part of the integrated town development
policy.
This market serves the first-time homeowner
earning in excess of R10 000 and the price of
these units ranges from R500 000 upwards.
Sea Kay is currently building bonded units in
the Cosmo-City project and this market is
expanding rapidly.
HIGHLIGHT
This is a totally new market for Sea Kay with
great possibilities for future revenue
contribution.

Up-market HousingCONTRIBUTION TO
GROUP REVENUE 8%
Mass housing projects
for corporate clients
with fast track delivery
(cost effective) is
becoming more and
more attractive and the Steelpoort
development for Xstrata is a fine example of
this kind of development. These housing
units range from 160 – 260 m2 and the
standard of finishing is high.
Xstrata Housing Project. R153 million project.
Completed within one year.
Ibuyile Development ConsortiumCONTRIBUTION TO
GROUP REVENUE 12%
Ibuyile was formed in
January 2005 with the
submission of a proposal
cum tender for the
N2 Gateway ministerial
project. The aim of this
project, approved at
Cabinet level, is to create sustainable
settlements to replace the squatter camps
along the borders of the N2 highway from
Macassar to the city of Cape Town at District
Six. It had been approved at the highest level
of government since the project is a BNG
principle deviating from previous government
policies regarding the provision of low cost
housing to the poor. The National Department
of Housing is aiming to provide a bigger and
better equipped house to replace the so-called
traditional RDP metal sheeting roof house of
30m2. A special budget has been allocated to
the project to accommodate the difference
between the subsidy amount of a traditional
RDP unit and the superior product that Ibuyile
is currently constructing on its first site in this
project. The current product is costing the
National `Department of Housing almost
double the subsidy amount available for the
traditional RDP units but has a substantially
better quality and volume – the units measure
40m2 with a tiled roof, plastered and painted
outside, a full bathroom inside with ceilings
and electrical wiring and lighting. The units
have two outside doors and the final product is
of such a superior nature that with little effort
and money spent by the owner these units
could easily be bonded by the banks. The first
phase of the project consists of a planned
22 000 units or households to be constructed
at some greenfield sites (open undeveloped
and unused areas) and some existing informal
settlements (squatter camps).
Sea Kay Annual Report 2007 17
From the over 80 proposals submitted, Ibuyile
was invited to join a select panel of four
consortia that had been adjudicated to be the
best four proposals. One of the four soon
withdrew from the panel and subsequently
work had been allocated to the remaining
three consortia. The N2 Gateway project has
been plagued with funding problems widely
reported in the media and serious project
management problems. This issue was a result
of both political strain between the City of
Cape Town and the National Department of
Housing as well as non-performance by the
project management appointment by the
so-called “3m”. The 3m had been formed by
representatives of the three spheres of
Government previously led by a project
management company that has since been
replaced by Thubelisha (a section 21 non-profit
company owned by the government).
Thubelisha is currently doing a splendid job on
behalf of the National Minister of Housing.
During the latter part of 2006 Thubelisha also
managed to overcome the lack of funding by
securing an amount of R372 million directly
from the Treasury for the N2 Gateway project.
Although the project only started recently interms of the “visible” effect of the housesbeing constructed, Ibuyile has already spentmore than R130 million on its first project –called Delft Symphony precincts 1 to 6 – a 180 hectare piece of land adjacent to theCape Town airport on the north eastern side.These funds have been spent in terms ofgovernment funding for servicing land interms of MIG (municipal infrastructure grants)and UISP (upliftment of the informalsettlement programme) with civil services andprofessional design and planning (urban andarchitectural designs).
Ibuyile and all of its activities are driven bySea Kay which is also one of the two maincontractors officially employed at the projectto construct the 6 242 units together with thesocial housing component of approximately444 units. The total value of the work, which isto be completed by the end of 2008, is inexcess of R600 million.
The N2 Gateway development projectinvolves the design and construction of 6 400 residential erven, complete with bulk,linked and internal emergency services.
Land rehabilitation involved the movement of
approximately 1,3 million m3 of dune sand.

Financial review
The directors are pleased to report asuccessful year for Sea Kay in terms of thegroup’s maiden results. The successfulintegration of the acquisition of thesubsidiaries resulted in an exceptionalperformance by the group.
The results only include trading activities for asix month period ended 30 June 2007 as priorto this period, Sea Kay was a dormantcompany which, on 1 January 2007, acquiredits two (wholly owned) subsidiaries, namelySea Kay Engineering Services (Proprietary)Limited and Seriso 474 (Proprietary) Limited(Sedibeng Bricks).
No comparative figures are therefore presented.
Revenue and operating profitThe group achieved a profit after taxof R41,1 million and revenue of R250 million.Effective control measures implemented duringthe year throughout the group also contributedto the bottom line. The company concludedsignificant new contracts in the latter part of thefinancial period under review and consequentlyit is anticipated by the directors that there willbe a continuing growth trend in the subsequentperiod. The mass house market is buoyant atpresent and the turnover for the next financialyear is expected to increase by about 45%(comparing month to month). The order bookfor the next year has been secured and thegroup is in a strong position to produce goodresults in 2008.
Earnings per share and dividendsBoth headline earnings per share (HEPS) andearnings per share (EPS) amounted to12,59 cents. The earnings estimate contained inthe pre-listing statement was exceeded by 31%.
No dividends were paid during the year exceptfor dividends of R2,8 million declared and paidby Sea Kay Engineering to one of the ex-shareholders prior to the listing. Currentlythe cash available and cash generated by thebusiness will be invested in the continuedgrowth of the group’s activities.
Net assetsAt the year end, net assets were R144,8 million(of which goodwill amounted to R77,6 million)which arose on acquisition of the variousbusinesses. Goodwill was evaluated and isconsidered to be fairly valued.
Current assetsAt year end current assets were R146,6 million.A significant proportion of this balance wastrade and other receivables amounting toR121,7 million. Provision for bad debts ofR3,3 million was made as the recoverabilityis uncertain.
Shareholders’ fundAt the year end shareholders’ funds stood atR144,8 million of which R38,2 millionrepresented distributable reserves.
Cash flowAt year end the group was cash negative witha balance of R7,4 million.
Despite the exceptional performance inoperating profit, the cash generated fromoperations was negative of R48 million. This isprimarily due to the rapid expansion andgrowth in revenue and due to contractconditions in terms of payment. This is notunexpected and the short- to medium-termtarget of the group is to increase the cashposition in operations going forward.
Cash inflows from investing activitiesamounted to R17,7 million. Investment inproperty, plant and equipment throughbusiness combinations of R12,2 million wasspent. In addition cash inflows of R30,5 millionwere recorded on acquisition of the twosubsidiaries.
Net cash generated from financing activities ofR29,3 million reflects the raising of additionaldebt and dividends paid of R2,8 million.
All of the above resulted in net cash used ofR7,4 million. Finance costs of R4,8 million ismainly made up of financial liabilities andloans. The effective tax rate of 7,2% is lowerthan the South African statutory tax rate of29% due to the effect of section 24C onallowances for construction contracts. Nodeferred tax asset has been recognised onallowances in previous years due to theunpredictability of future profit streams.
The group will continue to review its currentbusinesses as well as further opportunities:– to enhance profit margins– to generate cash– to take an interest in strategic investments– to supply itself with all the essential building
methods and materials in the supply chain.

The directors are required by the Companies Act of South Africa, 1973, to maintain adequateaccounting records and are responsible for the content and integrity of the financial statementsand related financial information included in this report. It is their responsibility to ensure thatthe financial statements fairly present the state of affairs of the company as at the end of thefinancial year and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period then ended, inconformity with International Financial Reporting Standards. The external auditors are engagedto express an independent opinion on the financial statements.
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial ReportingStandards and are based upon appropriate accounting policies consistently applied andsupported by reasonable and prudent judgments and estimates.
The directors acknowledge that they are ultimately responsible for the system of internal financialcontrol established by the company and place considerable importance on maintaining a strongcontrol environment. To enable the directors to meet these responsibilities, the board of directorssets standards for internal control aimed at reducing the risk of error or loss in a cost effectivemanner. The standards include the proper delegation of responsibilities within a clearly definedframework, effective accounting procedures and adequate segregation of duties to ensure anacceptable level of risk. These controls are monitored throughout the company and all employeesare required to maintain the highest ethical standards in ensuring the company’s business isconducted in a manner that in all reasonable circumstances is above reproach. The focus of riskmanagement in the company is on identifying, assessing, managing and monitoring all knownforms of risk across the company. While operating risk cannot be fully eliminated, the companyendeavours to minimise it by ensuring that appropriate infrastructure, controls, systems andethical behaviour are applied and managed within pre-determined procedures and constraints.
The directors are of the opinion, based on the information and explanations given bymanagement, that the system of internal control provides reasonable assurance that the financialrecords may be relied on for the preparation of the financial statements. However, any system ofinternal financial control can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance againstmaterial misstatement or loss.
The directors have reviewed the company’s cash flow forecast for the year to 30 June 2008 and, inthe light of this review and the current financial position, they are satisfied that the company hasaccess to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
Although the board of directors is primarily responsible for the financial affairs of the company,they are supported by the company's external auditors.
The external auditors are responsible for independently reviewing and reporting on thecompany's financial statements. The financial statements have been examined by the company'sexternal auditors and their report is presented on page 27.
The financial statements set out on pages 29 to 60, which have been prepared on the goingconcern basis, were approved by the board of directors on 20 September 2007 and were signedon its behalf by:

Accounting policies
1. PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards, and the Companies Act of South Africa, 1973. The financial statements
have been prepared on the historical cost basis, and incorporate the principal accounting
policies set out below.
These accounting policies are consistent with the previous period.
1.1 Property, plant and equipment
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset when:
• It is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the
company; and
• The cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Costs include costs incurred initially to acquire or construct an item of property, plant
and equipment and costs incurred subsequently to add to, replace part of, or service
it. If a replacement cost is recognised in the carrying amount of an item of property,
plant and equipment, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.
The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the
site on which it is located is also included in the cost of property, plant and equipment.
Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
any impairment losses.
Item Average useful life
Plant and machinery 7
Furniture and fixtures 6
Motor vehicles 5
Office equipment 6
IT equipment 3
The residual value and the useful life of each asset are reviewed at each financial
period end.
Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in
relation to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately.
The depreciation charge for each period is recognised in profit or loss unless it is
included in the carrying amount of another asset.
for the year ended 30 June 2007
Sea Kay Annual Report 2007 37
1.1 Property, plant and equipment (continued)
The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and
equipment is included in profit or loss when the item is derecognised. The gain or loss
arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is
determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the
carrying amount of the item.
1.2 Investment in joint ventures
Group financial statements
An investment in a joint venture is accounted for by using the proportionate
consolidation method, except when the asset is classified as held-for-sale. Under the
proportionate consolidation method the group’s share of each of the assets, liabilities,
income and expenses of the investment is combined line by line with similar items in
the group financial statements. The use of proportionate consolidation is discontinued
from the date on which it ceases to have joint control over a jointly controlled entity.
An investment in a joint venture is accounted for by using the equity method, except
when the asset is classified as held-for-sale. Under the equity method, the investment
in a joint venture is initially recognised at cost and the carrying amount is increased or
decreased to recognise the group's share of the profits or losses of the investee after
acquisition date. The use of the equity method is discontinued from the date on which
it ceases to have joint control over, or have significant influence in, a jointly controlled
entity.
Company financial statements
An investment in a joint venture is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment.
Profits and losses resulting from contributions or sale of assets to joint ventures are
only recognised to the extent of other venturers' interests in the joint venture.
The group's share of profits or losses, resulting from purchase of assets from joint
ventures, are recognised only when the assets are resold to an independent party.
In respect of its interests in jointly controlled operations, the company recognises in its
financial statements:
• The assets that it controls and the liabilities that it incurs; and
• The expenses that it incurs and its share of the income that it earns from the sale of
goods or services by the joint venture.
In respect of its interest in jointly controlled assets, the company recognises in its
financial statements:
38 Sea Kay Annual Report 2007
Accounting policies continued
1.2 Investment in joint ventures (continued)
• Its share of the jointly controlled assets, classified according to the nature of the assets;
• any liabilities that it has incurred;
• Its share of any liabilities incurred jointly with the other venturers in relation to the
joint venture;
• Any income from the sale or use of its share of the output of the joint venture,
together with its share of any expenses incurred by the joint venture; and
• Any expenses that it has incurred in respect of its interest in the joint venture.
1.3 Financial instruments
Initial recognition
The company classifies financial instruments, or their component parts, on initial
recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in
accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the group's balance sheet
when the group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Loans to/from group companies
These include loans to holding companies, fellow subsidiaries, subsidiaries, joint ventures
and associates and are recognised initially at fair value plus direct transaction costs.
Subsequently these loans are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
rate method, less any impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverable amounts.
On loans receivable an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is
objective evidence that it is impaired. The impairment is measured as the difference
between the investment’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future
cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition.
Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the
investment’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after
the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of
the investment at the date the impairment is reversed shall not exceed what the
amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Loans to shareholders, directors, managers and employees
These financial assets are measured initially at fair value plus direct transaction costs.
Subsequently these loans are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
rate method, less any impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverable amounts.
for the year ended 30 June 2007
Sea Kay Annual Report 2007 39
1.3 Financial instruments (continued)
On loans receivable an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is
objective evidence that it is impaired. The impairment is measured as the difference
between the investment’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future
cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition.
Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the
investment’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after
the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of
the investment at the date the impairment is reversed shall not exceed what the
amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are measured at initial recognition at fair value, and are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in profit
or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. The allowance
recognised is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the
present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate
computed at initial recognition.
Trade and other payables
Trade payables are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at
amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other
short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of
cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These are initially and
subsequently recorded at fair value.
Bank overdrafts and borrowings
Bank overdrafts and borrowings are initially measured at fair value, and are
subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or
redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in accordance
with the group’s accounting policy for borrowing costs.
The borrowing powers of Sea Kay and its subsidiaries are set out in their Articles of
Association and are unlimited.

Held to maturity and loans and receivables
These financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus direct transaction costs.
At subsequent reporting dates these are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method, less any impairment loss recognised to reflect
irrecoverable amounts. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is
objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference
between the investment’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future
cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition.
Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the
investment’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after
the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of
the investment at the date the impairment is reversed shall not exceed what the
amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
1.4 Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities
Current tax for current and prior periods is, to the extent unpaid, recognised as a
liability. If the amount already paid in respect of current and prior periods exceeds the
amount due for those periods, the excess is recognised as an asset.
Current tax liabilities (assets) for the current and prior periods are measured at the
amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the tax authorities, using the tax rates
(and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities
A deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except to
the extent that the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or
liability in a transaction which at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting
profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).
A deferred tax asset is recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the
deductible temporary difference can be utilised. A deferred tax asset is not recognised
when it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that, at
the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).
A deferred tax asset is recognised for the carry forward of unused tax losses and
unused STC credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be
available against which the unused tax losses and unused STC credits can be utilised.
for the year ended 30 June 2007
Sea Kay Annual Report 2007 41
1.4 Tax (continued)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply
to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and
tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Tax expenses
Current and deferred taxes are recognised as income or an expense and included in
profit or loss for the period, except to the extent that the tax arises from:
• A transaction or event which is recognised, in the same or a different period, directly
in equity; or
• A business combination.
Current tax and deferred taxes are charged or credited directly to equity if the tax
relates to items that are credited or charged, in the same or a different period, directly
to equity.
1.5 Leases
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and
rewards incidental to ownership. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does
not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership.
Finance leases – lessee
Finance leases are recognised as assets and liabilities in the balance sheet at amounts
equal to the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the
minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the
balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.
The discount rate used in calculating the present value of the minimum lease
payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease.
The lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and reduction of the
outstanding liability.The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease
term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance
of the liability.
Operating leases – lessee
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over
the lease term. The difference between the amounts recognised as an expense and
the contractual payments are recognised as an operating lease asset. This liability is
not discounted.

Accounting policies continued
1.6 Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value on the first-in,
first-out basis.
1.6 Inventories (continued)
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less
the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other
costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
The cost of inventories of items that are not ordinarily interchangeable and goods or
services produced and segregated for specific projects is assigned using specific
identification of the individual costs.
The cost of inventories is assigned using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) formula. The same
cost formula is used for all inventories having a similar nature and use to the entity.
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories are recognised as
an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of
any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are
recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of
any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realisable
value, are recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an
expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.
1.7 Construction contracts and receivables
Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract
revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the
contract activity at the balance sheet date, as measured by surveys of work done.
Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent
that they have been agreed with the customer.
When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract
revenue is recognised to the extent that contract costs incurred are recoverable.
Contract costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the
expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
for the year ended 30 June 2007
Sea Kay Annual Report 2007 43
1.8 Impairment of assets
The company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that
an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the company estimates the
recoverable amount of the asset.
Irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, the group also:
• Tests intangible assets with an indefinite useful life or intangible assets not yet
available for use for impairment annually by comparing its carrying amount with its
recoverable amount. This impairment test is performed during the annual period
and at the same time every period; and
• Tests goodwill acquired in a business combination for impairment annually.
If there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the recoverable amount is
estimated for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable
amount of the individual asset, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to
which the asset belongs is determined.
The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair
value less costs to sell and its value in use.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying
amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an
impairment loss.
An impairment loss of assets carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation or
amortisation is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Any impairment loss of a
revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to
each of the cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are
expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
An impairment loss is recognised for cash-generating units if the recoverable amount of
the unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit. The impairment loss is allocated to
reduce the carrying amount of the assets of the unit in the following order:
• First, to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-
generating unit; and
• Then, to the other assets of the unit, pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of
each asset in the unit.
44 Sea Kay Annual Report 2007
Accounting policies continued
An entity assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an
impairment loss recognised in prior periods for assets other than goodwill may no
longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable
amounts of those assets are estimated.
The increased carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill attributable to a reversal
of an impairment loss does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior periods.
A reversal of an impairment loss of assets carried at cost less accumulated depreciation
or amortisation other than goodwill is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Any
reversal of an impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation increase.
1.9 Provisions and contingencies
Provisions are recognised when:
• The company has a present obligation as a result of a past event;
• It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation; and
• A reliable estimate can be made of the obligation.
The amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditure expected to be
required to settle the obligation.
Where some or all of the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected to be
reimbursed by another party, the reimbursement shall be recognised when, and only
when, it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received if the entity settles the
obligation. The reimbursement shall be treated as a separate asset. The amount
recognised for the reimbursement shall not exceed the amount of the provision.
Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
If an entity has a contract that is onerous, the present obligation under the contract
shall be recognised and measured as a provision.
A constructive obligation to restructure arises only when an entity:
• Has a detailed formal plan for the restructuring, identifying at least:
– the business or part of a business concerned;
– the principal locations affected;
– the location, function, and approximate number of employees who will be
compensated for terminating their services;
– the expenditures that will be undertaken; and
– when the plan will be implemented; and
for the year ended 30 June 2007
Sea Kay Annual Report 2007 45
1.9 Provisions and contingencies (continued)
• Has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring
by starting to implement that plan or announcing its main features to those affected
by it.
After their initial recognition contingent liabilities recognised in business combinations
that are recognised separately are subsequently measured at the higher of:
• The amount that would be recognised as a provision; and
• The amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation.
Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are not recognised. Contingencies are
disclosed in note 30.
1.10 Revenue
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions have
been satisfied:
• The company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of
ownership of the goods;
• The company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree
usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
• The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
• It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to
the group; and
• The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured
reliably.
When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be
estimated reliably, revenue associated with the transaction is recognised by reference
to the stage of completion of the transaction at the balance sheet date. The outcome
of a transaction can be estimated reliably when all the following conditions are
satisfied:
• The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
• It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to
the company;
• The stage of completion of the transaction at the balance sheet date can be
measured reliably; and
• The costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can
be measured reliably.
When the outcome of the transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be
estimated reliably, revenue shall be recognised only to the extent of the expenses
recognised that are recoverable.
1.10 Revenue (continued)
Service revenue is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the
transaction at balance sheet date. Stage of completion is determined by surveys of
work performed.
Contract revenue comprises:
• The initial amount of revenue agreed in the contract; and
• Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments:
– to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue; and
– they are capable of being reliably measured.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and
represents the amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal
course of business, net of trade discounts, volume rebates, and value added tax.
Interest is recognised, in profit or loss, using the effective interest rate method.
Dividends are recognised, in profit or loss, when the company’s right to receive
payment has been established.
1.11 Turnover
Turnover comprises sales to customers and service rendered to customers. Turnover is
stated at the invoice amount and is exclusive of value added taxation.
1.12 Cost of sales
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as
an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of
any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are
recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of
any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realisable
value, is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an
expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.
Contract costs comprise:
• Costs that relate directly to the specific contract;
• Costs that are attributable to contract activity in general and can be allocated to the
contract; and
• Such other costs as are specifically chargeable to the customer under the terms of
the contract.
1.13 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

The second claim arose as a result of a dispute over the settlement of amounts due to thesame subcontractor as in the aforementioned dispute. The directors are of the opinion thatthe claim will be unsuccessful.The claim for outstanding work amounts to R437 000.
An application has been submitted by Sea Kay Engineering against Groenewers CC inconnection with Willow Creek Development. There has been a ruling in favour of Sea KayEngineering, however, it is subject to the outcome of arbitration, hence the uncertainty inthe recognition of the asset.
