Group overview

• OEM supplier of water and petrochemical pumps

• Supplier of pumps to API 610 specification for

petrochemical use

• Manufacture, service and repair of pumps and valves

for all fluid industries

• Turnkey mechanical electrical contracts

• Supply of UPVC piping to various industries

Pumps spares andvalves

• The provision of fresh, clean running water is a basic human right. PSV is directly involved with

this process through the supply of PVC piping, pumps, and flow instrumentation to water

utilities which facilitates the delivery of this water to households

• Limiting the wastage of water run-off, water seepage or contamination is as important to the

environment as it is to human habitation. Any formation, which holds or contains liquids or

requires waterproofing, such as dams, canals, water features or the lining of land fills, can be

insulated and contained by PSV

• Electrical supply is a critical component of economic stability in South Africa and PSV is

working with Eskom on efficiencies in product flow to fire its coal-burning power stations

• Precision and engineering expertise are a critical part of each fuel station forecourt and PSV

has substantial market share in this market. PSV’s involvement with service stations extends

from the supply and service of fuel dispensing systems, through to point-of-sale software

integration

• An essential requirement for all deep mining operations is that the mines are free of water so

that the mining process is not hindered in any way. PSV is well positioned, both in South Africa

and in Africa, to continue to support these mining operations

• Hospitals require high purity breathing oxygen. This is one of the many applications for which

our cryogenic capabilities supply equipment to the industrial gas market. Not only touching

lives, but saving lives

The Group operates across three key segments:

1. Pumps, spares and valves

2. Engineering linings and industrial supplies

3. Specialised services

• Manufacture, repair, service and support of

fuel pump dispensers

• Bulk meters at forecourts

• Flow meters and consumer fuelling equipment

• Forecourt and retail management software

• Manufacturing of cryogenic storage tanks

Specialisedservices

• Specification, selection and installation of lining products

• Sole distributor of flow tile glass linings

• Specialised geo-synthetic linings contracting

for containment, environmental protection and

corrosion protection

Operational review Pumps, spares and valves

The pumps, spares and valves segment supplies, manufactures, designs, maintains, refurbishes, imports and services pumps, pumps

spares and valves. It is operational primarily in South Africa and Zambia, while the latter focuses primarily on the mining sector.

Capabilities stretch across mechanical, electrical and complete fluid handling contracts. The segment has OEM status as well as the

ability to manufacture certain pumps to ISO 9001-2000 standards. Most recently this division swelled to include Mather + Platt, a brand

name well known in South Africa, where there is currently a strong drive to re-establish the brand name.

Operational review Engineering linings and industrial supplies

The segment offers an array of lining solutions including geo-synthetic, glass, ceramic and plastic lining solutions used for the purpose

of containment, environmental, wear and corrosion protection. Companies work closely with mining operators to assist with

functions such as protection of seepage and environmental protection. The usual order when working together with a mining operation

is that ore is deposited on top of the lining system and then cyanide (for the extraction of gold) is poured over the ore and mixed. The

gold dissolves and is moved through solution ponds. Once at the ponds the gold is extracted.

The stronger more durable linings such as glass and ceramics are used to limit the effects of wear and tear and increase product flow

properties in storage units such as coal hoppers, coal chutes or bin liners in the movement of bulk product.

All the Group’s applications are used in power stations and industries such as agriculture, mining, construction and water supply. The

industrial supplies component enables PSV to source piping, fittings, flanges and steel from internal and external suppliers. These

consumables are provided to mining and industrial clients locally in South Africa as well as being exported to other African countries.

Operational review Specialised services

This segment is made up of

manufacture, support and supply

services to the petrochemical

and cryogenic markets

Specialisedservices

The petrochemical sector is supported through the provision of fuel pumps and dispensers, bulk meters, LPG dispensers and

point-of-sale forecourt and retail store software to an array of petroleum companies in South Africa and neighbouring countries.

The cryogenic component manufactures and repairs storage vessels and road tankers for the industrial gas industry. It supplies cryogenic

equipment that distributes both liquids and gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon and liquid carbon dioxide. The wide range of pumps,

valves, regulators and vaporisers supply gasses to industries such as hospitals, welding workshops, food and beverages and ship

container purging. In the latter application, cryogenic vessels and/or tankers are based dock-side and used to purge massive bulk freight

containers of harmful gases prior to embarking on safe seafaring journeys across the globe.

IntroductionThe year under review proved to be challenging for most companies in South Africa and worldwide, the result of global market conditions as the world experienced the worst global financial and economic crisis since the Great Depression. Record oil prices, high interest rates and the rapid meltdown of global financial markets created an environment which placed companies under severe pressure worldwide.

The South African economy could not escape the sudden downturn of the US and European economies. The rapid slump by the world’s largest economies into recession translated into concomitant capital flight from emerging markets on the back of heightened risk aversion. Global trade suffered immensely impacting significantly on trade dependent countries like South Africa.

OverviewWhilst trading conditions are undoubtedly tougher PSV Holdings Limited performed well. Revenue increased by 44% to R431 million from R299 million. However, the operating profit was impacted negatively by current market conditions resulting in margins being squeezed. Operating profits decreased to R33 million. Hence headline earnings per share decreased to 6,97 cents per share (“cps”) from 7,98 cps in the previous year. Core earnings decreased to 9 cps. The year proved to be very challenging for the Group’s petrochemical services operations Petrologic, whose performance detracted somewhat from the otherwise solid performance of the Group’s other businesses.

The Group embarked on two strategic acquisitions during the review period namely:• Rand Air & Gas Installations (Pty) Limited• Mather + Platt a division of Hudaco Trading (Pty) Limiteda specialised niche business of cryogenics, which complements the Group’s Specialised Services segment. Rand Air & Gas has recently won a number of supply contracts to the cryogenic aftermarket. This subsidiary contributed R3,8 million to the Group’s after tax profit.

The Group’s second strategic acquisition was the business of Mather + Platt, a long-standing international brand in the pump

industry which complements and bolsters PSV’s offering. This acquisition contributed R0,25 million profit after tax for the month immediately prior to the Group’s financial year-end. Both businesses have been successfully integrated into the Group. Furthermore PSV’s existing businesses, Dasher and Umzantsi, have also been successfully incorporated into Mather + Platt’s subsidiary.

Engineered Linings, a subsidiary based in Cape Town acquired by the Group, has performed exceptionally well. The Company contributed 25% to the revenue of the Group. The subsidiary has currently the largest order book which is going to contribute substantially to the Group.

The Group’s smallest business in terms of staff complement, Omnirapid Mining Industrial & Supplies, showed impressive growth by securing new clients, and maintained existing clients through continued dedicated client services and its ability to adapt to changing market conditions with ease.

APE Pumps outperformed all expectations, while Groupline Projects secured a number of new contracts at mining and power stations.

The economic pressures have been particularly visible at Petrologic with pressure on margins from the devaluation of the rand against major currencies. Petrologic has embarked on a substantial group restructure to optimise resources and enhance profitability going forward. The Group is confident that Petrologic will make a significant contribution to the Group in the year ahead.

We are proud to have increased our staff complement to 382 pursuant to the acquisition of Rand Air & Gas and Mather + Platt.

I am particularly pleased to report that the Group’s share incentive scheme is well under way. Furthermore the Group has implemented a scholarship programme funding the tertiary education of ten previously disadvantaged students. I am especially encouraged by the fact that all students are children of PSV employees, thus all students are particularly close to the Group and will remain so into the future.

Board changesDuring the year under review the Board appointed Mr Mitesh Patel to the Board replacing Mr S Thabojane. On behalf of my fellow directors I would like to thank Mr Thabojane for his contribution to the Group.

ProspectsLooking ahead, and bearing in mind that the economic crisis is likely to continue for the foreseeable future, PSV is well placed to maintain its position as a competitive player in the industry which is evidenced by a healthy order book of R150 million.

AppreciationI would like to sincerely thank the employees and management of PSV for their hard work, dedication and excellent service to clients and customers.

I would like to thank the Group’s customers, suppliers and service providers, particularly our designated advisors Vunani Corporate Finance.

Lastly I would like to thank my fellow directors and the chairmen of the audit and risk committees for their continued commitment and dedication throughout the review period.

Introduction

The year under review presented itself to PSV in two halves. During the

first half project flow, work load and payments received from clients

was strong and on time. However, in the second half we experienced

project delays in implementation dates and an increase in stock levels

in certain subsidiaries as clients delayed certain projects due to the

current economic environment. Despite this, PSV has not lost any

major clients, but rather, has experienced a slow down in new

projects awarded.

Financial review

As reported in previous years, we were once again able to lift revenue

by 44% to R431 million compared to R299 million in 2008. An

operating profit of R33 million was generated dropping our operating

profit to 7,7% compared to 9,6% in 2008. This decline in operating profit

is attributable to a change in the sales mix to lower margin products and

services and margin sacrifice necessary to secure business.

Headline earnings per share deteriorated by 12,3% primarily due to

an increase in stock as well as additional doubtful debt provisions

raised against long outstanding debts. We are however confident that

the amounts will be recovered.

The Group’s debt/equity ratio was 24,9% compared to 29,1% in

the prior year, well within the Group’s debt/equity ratio limit of 40%.

The current ratio improved to 1,50:1 from 1,36:1 in the previous year.

The Group’s balance sheet continued to strengthen as the net tangible

asset value per share increased by 8,0% to 33,5 cps (2008: 31,0 cps)

and net asset value per share by 4,7% to 97,8 cps (2008: 93,4 cps).

A detailed assessment of the Group’s goodwill was undertaken at year-

end. In terms of this assessment, the carrying values of goodwill of the

Group’s various cash generating units were in line with the values

reflected in the balance sheet. Accordingly, no impairment of goodwill

was made. It should be noted that the cost of running the Group’s head

office has not been apportioned when determining the carrying value

of the cash generating units. The carrying value of goodwill will be

re-assessed when presenting the interim results for the period ending

31 August 2009 based upon market conditions and the performance of

the cash generating units at that time.

The Group incurred a net exchange loss of R3,9 million. Most of the

loss was unrealised and was attributable to the conversion of our PSV

Zambia operation from kwacha into rand.

Corporate actions

During the course of the year the Group acquired Rand Air & Gas

Installations (Pty) Limited for R18 million. The rationale for the

transaction was to expand PSV’s speciality engineering, product,

manufacturing and distribution base. Of the total purchase

consideration, R5,1 million was funded out of internal cash

resources. The next instalment of R6,3 million is due for payment

on 15 June 2009. For the six months ended 28 February 2009 this

subsidiary contributed R3,8 million after tax. An extrapolation of

these results places the acquisition on a 2,4 price/earnings ratio.

The PSV Group, through its Dasher subsidiary, had for a number of

years been servicing, repairing and maintaining Mather + Platt pumps.

The acquisition of Mather + Platt on 1 February 2009 elevated PSV’s

OEM status and will enhance the ability to take the Mather + Platt

name back into the market place. The purchase consideration was

R10 million and the acquisition contributed R0,25 million profit after tax

for the one month prior to the financial year-end. R9 million of the

purchase price was funded with a two-year term bank loan and

R0,5 million is due and payable to the seller on 1 February 2010. Whilst

the transaction was constructed essentially as a stock and asset

purchase, PSV believes that the intellectual property acquired will place

the new company at the forefront of the pump industry.

Chief executive officer’s review continued

Operational review

Pumps, spares and valves

Within this segment, PSV Services and PSV Zambia concentrate on the

manufacturing of pumps and spares primarily for mining and water

service clients outside of South Africa. During the year our stock levels

increased as a result of having to supply stock to the Zambian operation

in order to fulfil contract requirements with clients.

APE Pumps has significantly outperformed all expectations, doubling

in size since being acquired by PSV and strong growth is expected

to continue into the future. Project wins continue for the operation

which has also been kept busy with the refurbishment and service

maintenance contracts for its ±25 000 APE pumps in circulation across

southern Africa.

Mather + Platt became part of the Group in January 2009 and the

year ahead will see the company embark on a marketing drive to

re-establish the Mather + Platt brand in the market place. Current

marketing efforts are being well received. Dasher, the valve and pump

manufacturer, and Umzantsi Africa Pumps & Valves, the valve marketing

business, have been incorporated into the Mather + Platt business in

order to maximise the extraction of synergies.

During the year some of the major achievements included:

• Two vertical turbine pumps were supplied to a Nigerian raw water

project for installation at a high volume water transfer application;

• The contract for swirl vane pumps has been signed and production

according to special specifications has begun under licence for

Shell Global Solutions International;

• The signing of PSV’s first mechanical contract for a water treatment

plant in Zambia was a major achievement for the Group;

• A total of four water pumps, to a value of R30 million, were

manufactured and transported to Iraq for use at a water supply

project about 100 km south-west of Baghdad. These pumps

were the largest ever manufactured and assembled within the

PSV Group;

• An upgrade and reorganisation of the pumps business took

place, moving the operations from Sebenza to Wadeville. This

move included a machinery upgrade and the installation of a

new centre lathe as well as a second computer numerically

controlled (“CNC”) lathe and a 3,5 ton dynamic balancing machine.

This equipment reduced the segment’s need to utilise the

services of sub-contractors and enhanced manufacturing

capability and profitability;

• We concluded a new valve supply contract with a major mining

group in South Africa. These valves are used in the plant as

well as underground in the mining operations.

Chief executive officer’s review continued

Engineering linings and industrial supplies

Engineered Linings has performed exceptionally well over the period as

well as concluding the Group’s largest contract ever. In South Africa,

Government and provincial infrastructure spending is coming to the

fore, with the Company involved in a number of local government

projects relating to the lining of landfill sites.

Groupline Projects continues to do well with glass, ceramic and plastic

lining contracts being undertaken at mines and power stations. In

addition to these projects on-site work is carried out at Boksburg

factory lining heavy duty trucks with low friction liners.

Omnirapid Mining & Industrial Supplies has once again shown

exceptional growth largely due to new client wins and superb client

service and turnaround times. High growth in this company continues

to be attributed to the high demand for steel and steel products.

Major projects and achievements during the year include:

• Participating in projects in Africa including the lining of leach pads

for the Tarkwa Gold Mine in Ghana as well as for the Trekkopje

Uranium Mine in Namibia. The latter being one of the largest

projects ever undertaken by the PSV Group;

• Lining solutions at the Bellville, Empangeni, Rietfontein and

Visserhok landfill sites for ground water protection once refuse

is dumped into the fill;

• Awarded three separate linings maintenance contracts by Eskom

which range from three to five years in duration;

• Undertaken various linings projects with new developing coal

mines;

• Applied low friction liners to a number of heavy duty mining

tip trucks.

Specialised services

This segment saw the acquisition of Rand Air & Gas Installations (Pty)

Limited which has now been part of the Group for six months and has

exceeded expectations. Integration into the Group was unflawed and

has exposed the Group to a specialised niche business of cryogenics

with recent wins in supply contracts to the cryogenic aftermarket.

The dramatic increase in fuel prices had a positive impact on the

business of Petrologic for the first six months of the year, as the existing

unleaded petrol pumps were not designed to accommodate a petrol

price in excess of R10 a litre. This meant that Petrologic was involved

in the upgrade of suitable dispensers for a number of petroleum

companies in South Africa. In the remaining six months Petrologic

experienced a tough year with pressure on margins, coupled with

the devaluation of the rand against the euro. The pressure was felt

because of the importation of various components from Europe.

Petrologic managed to retain turnover levels but incurred a small loss

for the year.

The Company has embarked on a substantial restructuring programme

to optimise resources and profitability. All expenses across the Company

have been assessed. Corrective action in the form of rightsizing the

business has taken place with voluntary, early retirement packages

being offered to staff members, strict stock control measures

implemented and the call centre relocated to save on rental and

telephone costs. The culmination of these strategies should result in a

significant contribution to the Group for the February 2010 year.

Major projects undertaken in this segment during the year included:

• Upgrade of a substantial amount of petrol pumps for a major

petroleum company in South Africa to accommodate petrol price

per litre increases;

• The manufacture and supply of cryogenic tankers for dock-side in

Richards Bay for an international company involved in the use of

purging gases;

• The upgrade of various cryogenic storage units.

Prospects and future strategy

The Group expects to face challenging market conditions in the coming

period and has adopted a conservative outlook. Despite this, the PSV

Group of companies is solid and able to continue bidding on lucrative

projects. The confirmed forward order book for 2010 is in the region of

R150 million and includes projects such as:

• Lining projects for municipal landfill sites;

• Refurbishment and service contracts in Zambia;

• A contract for the supply of valves for underground and surface

operations for a South African mining group;

• Water treatment contracts are being quoted on in Malawi and

Zambia; and

• A pilot project with Shell for the manufacture of a diffuser

under licence.

PSV is well positioned to benefit from ongoing Government infrastructure

spend and through new project growth outside of South Africa.

With new projects across the spectrum of the Group companies,

diversity within the Group and quotes for new equipment requirements

from clients, the Group is capable of filling all orders and contract

requirements. The enhanced manufacturing capacity is complete and

the new workshop capacity is close to completion, giving the Group

spare capacity to meet growing demands.

The future strategy that will be applied to the business is firstly to

continue to contain debtor’s days. The coming period will also be seen

as one of consolidation of the business units. Every endeavour will be

made to strengthen the cash flow and the Group will continue to bid on

new contracts to increase our project pipeline of work.

Appreciation

The Group could not have come through the year without loyal and

supportive staff, whom I wish to thank for their hard work. I also wish

to thank the management team and the Board for their guidance and

assistance during the year.

Corporate social investment

As a direct result of skills shortage across economic sectors and

commitment to socio-economic development, PSV group has

implemented a graduate programme. The total budgeted cost is

R278 199. The initiative is focusing on the advancement of talented

and dedicated designated groups. The process has been underpinned

by the commitment of the management team, with progress being

measured against stated quantitative targets. Our subsidiaries are

involved in the sponsorship of the following candidates:

• Victor Makwala studying Bing Mechanical Engineering, second

year through the University of Johannesburg has been adopted

by Rand Air & Gas Installations;

• Thabo Mohlahlo studying towards a National Diploma in Mechanical

Engineering has been adopted by Petrologic as well as;

• Derrick Sithole studying towards a Diploma in Mechanical

Engineering.

From our group of internal employees, we have a programme aimed

at apprentices in the fields of the turner, boilermaker and fitter trades.

A budgeted cost of R189 874 has been put aside for this initiative,

which is not only geared towards achieving our set out business

strategy, but also willingness to contribute to the growth of the South

African economy as a whole.

• Eugene Shaw has been nominated for a turner apprentice at

Dasher;

• Warren Adams has been nominated for a boilermaker apprentice

at APE;

• Goitsi Letshwiti and Emmanuel Qwabe have been nominated for

fitter apprentices at APE.

The Group has also embarked on a continuous skills improvement

programme, to enhance our employees’ career growth. As an

example, PSV has taken an employee, Lynn Neilson, who was

originally appointed as a receptionist to the position of HR assistant

in August 2008, after sending her on training for VIP payroll system

and A Kroll Biometric system.

Elizabeth Makoso was working for a construction company when the

premises of PSV’s new head office were being built. She was then

appointed as a cleaner and was later sent on a catering course. She is

now running the canteen at the head office.

Corporate governance

Introduction

PSV is listed on the AltX Board of the JSE Limited (“JSE”). The board of

directors (“the Board”) is committed to and subscribes to the values of

good corporate governance contained in the Code of Corporate

Practices and Conduct recommended by the 2002 King Report on

Corporate Governance for South Africa (“King II”), as well as the Listings

Requirements of the JSE.

The Board endorses the principles of integrity and accountability

advocated by King II. The Group’s corporate governance structures and

practices are reviewed on an ongoing basis in response to changes

within and external to the Group. Based on this, the Board will also give

due consideration to the recommendations and principles as contained

in the draft King III report to ensure that the Group and the Board

aligns its practices and procedures to meet these standards once it

becomes effective.

This corporate governance statement sets out the key governance

principles and practices of PSV to fairly and honestly inform their

internal and external stakeholders through fair and understandable

disclosure.

Statement of compliance

The Listings Requirements of the JSE require that listed companies

report on the extent to which they comply with the principles

incorporated in King II as well as the requirements of the Corporate

Laws Amendment Act, 2006.

Based on the information set out in this corporate governance

statement, the Board has committed itself to apply the principles of

King II on an ongoing basis and has complied with the provisions set

out in the Listings Requirements of the JSE.

Endorsement of King II

PSV remains fully committed to the principles of effective corporate

governance and application of the highest ethical standards in the

conduct of its business. We endorse the principles of integrity and

accountability advocated by King II. In all dealings we strive to ensure

that the interests of stakeholders are foremost in our decisions and that

they are fully informed of the process.

We have long recognised that good corporate governance is essentially

about leadership and there exists the need to conduct the enterprise

with integrity and in compliance with best practices.

Deviations from the recommendations as contained in King II are

highlighted in this report where applicable.

Chairperson and Board of Directors

Chairperson

The chairperson, Evelyn Chimombe-Munyoro, is a non-executive

director. The Board delegates to the chairperson the responsibility for

ensuring the effectiveness of governance practices. The chairperson

leads the Board and is responsible for representing the Board to

shareholders.

As recommended by King II the role of the chairperson is separate from

that of the chief executive officer. The chairperson is not independent

as recommended by King II and represents a major shareholder of the

Company. The Board is however of the view that Ms Chimombe-

Munyoro is best suited to lead the Board at this point in time and the

decision will be reviewed on an annual basis.

Chief executive officer

Chief executive officer (“CEO”), Mr Abie da Silva, is responsible for

the day-to-day business of the Group, for the implementation of

policies and strategies adopted by the Board, and takes full

responsibility for all operations. Managing directors of the various

businesses assist him in this task. Board authority conferred on

management is delegated through the CEO, in accordance with

approved authority levels. Mr Abie da Silva is tasked with addressing

all matters with shareholders.

Board

PSV is headed by an effective unitary board that can lead and control

the Group. The Board comprises eight directors of whom three are

independent non-executive directors. The Board considers Messrs

James Anderson, Graduate Shongwe and Mitesh Patel as independent

non-executive directors. The independent directors ensure that no one

individual has unfettered powers of decision-making and authority, so

that all shareholders’ interests are protected. The non-executive

directors have no fixed term of office.

The guidelines contained in the Listings Requirements of the JSE were

used to test the independence of and category most applicable to each

director. Each director ensures that the chairman encourages proper

deliberation of all matters requiring the Board’s attention.

The primary responsibilities of the Board include the regular review of

the strategic direction of investment decisions and performance against

approved plans, budgets and best practice standards. The Board retains

independent non-executive directors.

As part of its function in assisting the board of directors in the discharge

Committee include, inter alia, the following:

• Review the annual financial statements to ensure that they present

a true, balanced and understandable assessment of the financial

position and performance of the Company;

independent auditor after satisfying itself through enquiry that the

external audit firm and the designated audit partner, are

the provision of non-audit services to the Company.

The committee has implemented an annual work plan to ensure that

all duties and responsibilities of the committee are dealt with during

an annual cycle. The committee confirms that all its duties and

responsibilities had been attended to during the 2009 financial year.

that the external audit firm, KPMG, is independent from the Company.

In terms of the JSE Listing Requirements, the Audit Committee has

considered and satisfied itself of the appropriateness of the expertise

and experience of the Financial Director.

We have audited the Group annual financial statements and the annual financial statements of PSV Holdings Limited, which comprise the balance sheets at 28 February 2009, and the income statements, the statements of changes in equity and cash flow statements for the year then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, and the directors’ report as set out on pages 32 to 74.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial statementsThe Company’s directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and in the manner required by the Companies Act of South Africa. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

auDitors’ responsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

opinionIn our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated and separate financial position of PSV Holdings Limited at 28 February 2009, and its consolidated and separate financial performance and consolidated and separate cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and in the manner required by the Companies Act of South Africa.

PSV Holdings Limited (“the Company”) is a company domiciled in South Africa. The consolidated financial statements at 28 February 2009 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as “the Group”). The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.

statement of complianceThe Company and Group’s annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with and comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and its interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.

basis of preparationThe Company and the Group’s annual financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the measurement of certain non-current assets and certain financial instruments which are stated at fair value.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these Company and Group financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that may affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities and are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods. Judgements made by management in the application of IFRS that have a significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements where appropriate.

functional anD presentation currencyThe financial statements are presented in rand, which is the Company’s functional currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest rand except when otherwise indicated.

basis of consoliDationsubsidiariesThe Group financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. Where an investment in a subsidiary was acquired and disposed of during the financial year its results are included from, or to, the date control commences or ceases.

Subsidiaries are those entities over whose financial and operating policies the Group has the power to exercise control, so as to obtain benefits from their activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are presently exercisable are taken into account.

New acquisitions are included in the Group financial statements using the purchase method whereby the assets and liabilities are measured at their fair value. The purchase consideration is allocated on the basis of the fair values on the dates of acquisition.

All intra-group transactions and balances arising are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

All companies in the Group maintain consistent accounting policies and have the same year-end.

foreiGn currenciesforeign currency transactionsForeign currency transactions are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions. Balances on monetary assets and liabilities outstanding on foreign transactions at the end of the financial year are translated to rand at the rates ruling at that date. Gains or losses on translation are recognised in the income statement.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities dominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated to rand at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.

foreign subsidiariesThe assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, whose functional currencies are not rand, are translated into rand at rates of exchange ruling at the end of the financial year and the results of operations and cash flow items are translated at an appropriate weighted average rate of exchange for the year. Gains and losses on translation are taken directly to a foreign currency translation reserve in shareholders’ equity.

Where loans to the foreign subsidiaries are long-term in nature in that they form part of the Company’s net investment in the foreign subsidiary, the translation gains or losses arising on converting the loans to the rates of exchange ruling at the end of the financial year are taken directly to a foreign currency translation reserve in shareholders’ equity in the Group financial statements and to the income statement for the Company. On disposal of the net investment, the translation gains or losses are recognised in the income statement.

Exchange rates utilised to convert the income statement and balance sheet of the foreign subsidiary are as follows:

Weighted average rate for the year Closing rate

ZMK – ZR 481,55 573,00

reVenue recoGnitionRevenue is recognised only when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with a transaction will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainties regarding the recovery of the consideration due or associated costs for the possible return of goods.

GoodsRevenue arising from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or receivable net of returns and allowances, trade discounts, volume rebates and value added taxes. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of the goods can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods.

financial incomeinterestInterest income is recognised in the income statement as it accrues using the effective interest rate method.

exchange gainsGains on foreign currency transactions are included in finance income.

financial eXpensesFinance expenses comprise interest payable on borrowings and the unwinding of discounts arising on deferred purchase considerations owing to vendors on investments acquired; calculated on the principal outstanding using the effective interest rate method. Losses on foreign currency transactions are also included in financial expenses.

taXationIncome tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised directly in equity.

Current taxation comprises taxation payable calculated on the basis of the expected taxable income for the year, using the taxation rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustments of taxation payable for previous years. Deferred taxation is provided using the balance sheet method on temporary differences. Temporary differences are differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax base.

Deferred taxation is not recognised for the following temporary differences:– the initial recognition of goodwill– the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit– differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that the timing of the reversal is controlled by the company and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future

Deferred taxation is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to a transaction that is recorded directly in equity. The amount of deferred taxation provided is based on the expected manner of the realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities using taxation rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. A deferred taxation asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the associated unutilised taxation losses and deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred taxation assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related taxation benefit will be realised.

property, plant anD eQuipmentProperty, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. All assets except for land are depreciated on the straight-line method over their expected useful lives to an estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives are currently:• Buildings 50years• Plantandmachinery 5to10years• Motorvehicles 5years• Furnitureandofficeequipment 6to10years• Computerequipment 3years• Patternsanddies 3to20years• Leaseholdimprovements Termoflease

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Cost also may include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. Residual values, methods of depreciation and useful lives are reassessed annually. Depreciation of an item of property, plant and equipment begins when it is available for the use and ceases at the earlier of the date it is classified as held for sale or the date it is derecognised.

Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by reference to their carrying amount and are taken to the income statement.

subsequent costsThe cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

lease assetsfinance leasesLeases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Property, plant and equipment subject to finance lease agreements are capitalised initially at the lesser of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments and the corresponding liability to the lessor is raised. Lease payments are allocated using the effective interest rate method to determine the lease finance cost, which is charged against operating profit, and the capital repayment, which reduces the liability to the lessor. These assets are treated on the same basis as the property, plant and equipment owned by the Group and are subject to impairment losses.

operating leasesOther leases that do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are treated as operating leases with lease payments charged against operating profit. Payments made under operating leases are charged against income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

intanGible assetsIntangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. The current estimated useful lives are:

• Marketrelationships 20years• Customerrelationships 5years• Technologyrelationships 10years

GooDWillAll business combinations are accounted for by applying the purchase method, any differences between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recognised as goodwill.

Where the excess is negative, it is recognised immediately in the income statement as a gain made on acquisition of business combinations.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment losses. Gains and losses on disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units for the purpose of impairment testing.

payment in aDVancePayments in advance are capitalised and are released to the income statement in the period they are legally due.

impairment of assetsThe carrying amount of the Group’s assets, other than inventories, receivables and deferred tax assets, which are separately assessed, are reviewed at each balance date to determine whether there is an indication of impairment and at any time when there is an indication of impairment. If there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, its recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit (“CGU”) exceeds its recoverable amount.

A previously recognised impairment loss, other than for goodwill, is reversed if the recoverable amount increases as a result of a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation and amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised in previous years.

A cash generating unit (“CGU”) is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that are largely independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to reduce the carrying amount to the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis.

inVentoriesInventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined using weighted average cost. These estimates are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect in input cost of raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related normal production overheads. Slow-moving goods and obsolete inventories are written down to their estimated net realisable value.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

traDe anD other receiVablesThe fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of the future cash flows, discounted at the market interest rate at the reporting date.

cash anD cash eQuiValentsCash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value on initial recognition and amortised cost thereafter.

proVisionsProvisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

stateD capitalordinary sharesIncremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity.

repurchase of stated capitalWhen stated capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented as a deduction from total equity.

employee benefitsshort-term employee benefitsThe cost of all short-term employee benefits is recognised during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

An accrual is made for the estimated liability for annual leave and performance bonuses as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.

Defined contribution plansCertain subsidiaries in the Group contribute to a defined contribution fund for employees. A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the income statement when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

financial instrumentsnon-derivative financial instrumentsNon-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables.

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs, except as described below. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instrument are measured as described below.

A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e. the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

otherOther non-derivative financial instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

DiscontinueD operationsA discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations that has been disposed of or is held for sale, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative income statement is restated as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.

earninGs per shareThe Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes and share options granted to employees.

seGment reportinGA segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing related products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other segments. Segment information is presented in respect of the Group’s business and geographical segments. The Group’s primary format for segment reporting is based on business segments. The business segments are determined based on the Group’s management and internal reporting structure.

Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis.

Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly investments (other than investment property) and related revenue, loans and borrowings and related expenses, corporate assets (primarily the Company’s headquarters) and head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the Group’s individual operating subsidiaries, other than PSV Services (Pty) Limited, PSV Thuthuka (Pty) Limited, PSV Zambia (Pty) Limited and Omnirapid Mining and Industrial Supplies (Pty) Limited (“PSV CGU”), which are assessed in aggregate. These represent the lowest level within the Group at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

The aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill allocated to each of the units is as follows:

117 153 067 111 817 208

The recoverable amount of the PSV CGU was based on its value in use and was determined with the assistance of independent valuers. The carrying amount of this unit was determined to be less than its recoverable amount and hence no impairment loss was recognised.

The recoverable amounts for the Groupline, Petrologic, Engineered Linings, Rand Air & Gas and Mather + Platt cash generating units were based on their values in use and were determined by internally generated valuations. These internal valuations indicated that the recoverable amounts were in excess of the carrying amounts.

The value in use for the cash generating units was determined by discounting the future cash flows from the continuing use of the unit and was based upon the following key assumptions:• Cashflowswerebasedonactualoperatingresultsandafive-yearforecastbusinessplan;• Aterminalgrowthrateof4,5%wasusedthereafter,whichdoesnotexceedthelong-termaveragegrowthoftheindustry;• Revenueandoperatingcostswereprojectedtogrowbyapproximately8to9%fortheyears2010to2014;and• Apre-taxdiscountrateofbetween21,74%and23,05%wasusedindeterminingtherecoverableamountsoftheunits.

20. financial instruments continued20.2 credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from

customers.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the Group’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, has less of an influence on credit risk. Approximately R73,1 million of the Group’s revenue is attributable to sales transactions with two customers from whom more than 17% of total revenue is derived.

The Group has established a credit process under which each new customer is evaluated individually for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment terms and conditions are offered. The Group’s review includes external ratings, where available, and in some cases bank references. Exposure limits are established for each customer, in accordance with the approval framework. All new clients are required to complete a credit application.

More than 50% of the Group’s customers have been transacting with the Group for over five years, and losses have occurred infrequently. In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics, including geographic location, industry, ageing profile, maturity and existence of previous financial difficulties.

The Group does not require collateral in respect of trade and other receivables, as it mainly renders services to major companies in the industries in which they operate and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. The Group is in the process of assessing the feasibility of credit guarantee insurance.

The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The key components of this allowance is a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures in respect of losses that have been incurred but not yet identified.

At balance sheet date there was an allowance for impairment based on the above process.

Exposure to credit risk The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

20.3 liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient

liquidity to meet its liabilities when due under normal conditions.

The Group manages its working capital requirements stringently and ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for the short term, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted such as natural disasters. In addition, the Group maintains the following lines of credit:

• R20,6millionoverdraft facility,R9millionmedium-termloanandR5million letterofcredit facilitywithStandardBank–securedbyunrestrictedcessionofbookdebtsbyallgroupcompaniesandcrossguarantees and suretyships from group companies.

bond over property.

Interest on the above are variable with the prime overdraft rate. The interest rate on the Leaf Enhanced Alternative Fund facility is the prime overdraft rate plus six percentage points.

Where acquisitions are made, transactions are structured in such a way so as to settle the purchase price over a period.

20. financial instruments continued20.4 market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign currency exchange rates may cause a decrease in fair values of future cash flows of financial instruments and consequently result in a financial

loss for the Group.

20.4.1 Currency risk The Group is exposed to currency risk on certain group creditors that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Group, the South African rand. The currency in which these transactions

primarily are denominated is euros, US dollars and Canadian dollars.

– at any one time the Company may only appoint one agent to effect any repurchase on the Company’s behalf;

– repurchases may not be undertaken if they will impact negatively on the shareholder spread as required by the JSE;

– repurchases may not be made by the Company and/or its subsidiaries during a prohibited period as defined by the Listings Requirements of the JSE unless a repurchase programme is in place where the dates and

quantities of securities to be traded during the relevant period are fixed and full details of the programme have been disclosed in an announcement over SENS prior to the commencement of the prohibited period;

– the repurchase of shares shall not, in the aggregate, in any one financial year, exceed 20% of the Company’s issued share capital and a maximum of 10% in aggregate of the Company’s issued share capital that may

be repurchased in terms of the Act, by the subsidiaries of the Company, at the time this authority is given;

– the repurchase of shares may not be made at a price greater than 10% above the weighted average traded price of the market value of the shares as determined over the five business days immediately preceding

the date on which the transaction is effected; and

– the Company may not enter the market to proceed with the repurchase of its ordinary shares until the Company’s designated adviser has confirmed the adequacy of the Company’s working capital for the purpose of

undertaking a repurchase of securities in writing to the JSE.”

The reason for this special resolution is to grant the Company and its subsidiaries a general authority to repurchase the Company’s shares by way of open market transactions on the JSE, subject to the Act and the Listings

Requirements of the JSE.

The effect of this special resolution is that the Company and its subsidiaries have been authorised, in terms of a general authority, to repurchase the Company’s shares on the open market, subject to the Act and the Listings

Requirements of the JSE.

At the present time the directors have no specific intention regarding the utilisation of this general authority, which will only be used if the circumstances are appropriate.

The directors are of the opinion that, after considering the effect of the maximum repurchase permitted and for a period of 12 months after the date of this notice of annual general meeting:

• theCompanyandtheGroupwillbeable,intheordinarycourseofbusiness,topaytheirdebts;
