Condensed consolidated segmental report
for the year ended 31 March

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-
maker ("CODM"). The CODM has identified four reportable segments of its business as illustrated below. In the prior
period five reportable segments were identified. During the current period the industrials and textiles segments have been
combined as the majority of the textiles businesses have been classified as discontinuing. Accordingly, prior period figures
have been restated.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial results
for the year ended 31 March 2019

1. Basis of preparation

   The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE
   Limited Listings Requirements for preliminary reports, and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.
   The Listings Requirement requires preliminary reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts
   and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and the
   SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements
   as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the information required by
   IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated
   financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the previous consolidated annual
   financial statements except as disclosed in note 3.

2. Review report of the independent auditor

   The condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019 have been reviewed by
   PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., who expressed an unmodified review conclusion. A copy of the auditor's review
   report is available for inspection at the company's registered office together with the financial statements identified in
   the auditor's report. The auditor's report does not necessarily report on all of the information contained in the financial
   results. Shareholders are therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the auditor's
   engagement they should obtain a copy of the auditor's report together with the accompanying financial information
   from the issuer's registered office.

3. Significant accounting policies and estimates

   The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements
   are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended
   31 March 2018, except for new standards and interpretations effective as at 1 April 2018.

   3.1    Changes in accounting policies

          This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from
          Contracts with Customers on the Group's financial statements and also discloses the new accounting policies
          that have been applied from 1 January 2018, where they are different to those applied in prior periods.

   3.2    IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - Impact of adoption

          IFRS 9 replaces the provisions of IAS 39 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of
          financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, and impairment of financial assets.

          The adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments from 1 April 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies and
          adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The new accounting policies are set out in
          this note. In accordance with the transitional provisions in IFRS 9, comparative figures have not been restated.

          The total impact on the Group's retained earnings as at 1 April 2018 is as follows:
                                                                                                                         2018
                                                                                                                        R'000
          Closing retained earnings as at 31 March - IAS 39                                                           (45 917)
          Adjustment to retained earnings from adoption of IFRS 9 on 1 April 2018                                     (17 615)
          Increase in provision for trade receivables                                                                 (24 466)
          Increase in deferred tax assets relating to impairment provisions                                             6 851
          Opening retained earnings as at 1 April - IFRS 9                                                            (63 532)

          Impairment of financial assets

          The Group has trade and other receivables that are subject to IFRS 9's new expected credit loss model and
          was required to revise its impairment methodology under IFRS 9. The impact of the change in impairment
          methodology on the Group's retained earnings and equity is disclosed in the table below.

          The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime
          expected loss allowance for all trade and other receivables. To measure the expected credit losses all trade
          receivables have been grouped based on shared credit characteristics and the days past due.
 
          The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of clients over a period of time and the corresponding
          historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical losses are adjusted to reflect current
          and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of customers to settle the
          receivables.

          The loss allowance for trade and other receivables as at 31 March 2018 reconciles to the opening loss allowance on
          1 April 2018 as follows:
                                                                                                        Trade and other
                                                                                                            receivables
                                                                                                                  R'000
          At 31 March 2018 - calculated under IAS 39                                                             28 817
          Amounts restated through opening retained earnings                                                     24 466
          Opening allowance as at 1 April 2018 - calculated under IFRS 9                                         53 283

          The loss allowances decreased by R3 million to R50 million for trade and other receivables during the period
          ended 31 March 2019.

          Trade and other receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.

          Accounting policies applied from 1 April 2018:

          Trade, long-term and other receivables

          Trade and other receivables originated by the Group continue to be stated at amortised cost less impairment
          losses. Interest income from long-terms receivables are included in finance income using the effective interest
          rate method.

          Impairment

          The Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9 in determining provision on impairment
          allowances for receivables. This approach requires expected losses to be recognised from initial recognition
          of all receivables.

    3.3   IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Impact of adoption

          The Group has adopted IFRS 15 from 1 April 2018, which resulted in additional disclosures required and
          changes in accounting policy. The Group applies the IFRS 15 simplified approach. In accordance with the
          transitional provisions in IFRS 15, comparative figures have not been restated and the impact of the adoption
          of IFRS 15 did not result in a material impact on the Group's retained earnings. There has been no material
          impact to the amounts recognised on adoption and in the current year.

          The Group manufactures and sells a range of goods and services across its different segments. Revenue
          from these sales are recognised when goods or services are transferred to the customer, being when control
          is passed. Where control is transferred over a period of time, revenue is recognised when associated costs
          can be estimated reliably.

          Some products are sold with volume rebates, rights of returns and trade discounts. Revenue from these sales
          are recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated returns and discounts to the
          extent that it is highly probable.

    3.4   IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration - Impact of adoption

          IFRIC 22 is effective from 1 April 2018 and in line with this standard, where a transaction includes the receipt
          or payment of advance consideration, the Group for the purpose of determining the spot rate to translate a
          non-monetary asset or liability is the earlier of the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary prepayment
          asset or the non-monetary Deferred income liability and the date the asset, expense or income is recognised
          in the financial statements. The Group has applied this accounting prospectively.

4. Significant operating activities

    4.1   Discontinuing operations

          The Deneb board has made the decision to dispose of the following businesses:

          -  Winelands Textiles;
          -  Frame Knitting Manufacturers;
          -  First Factory Shops; and
          -  Brand ID.

          Management has initiated active programmes to sell these businesses. The assets and liabilities have
          consequently been classified as held for sale and remeasured in accordance with IFRS 5.
 
          Accordingly, the results of the discontinuing operations have been separately disclosed on the face of the
          statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Where practical these results have been restated.

   4.2   Restatement of prior period

         4.2.1   A measurement period adjustment
                
                 At the time the March 2018 financial statements were authorised for issue, the Group had not yet
                 completed the accounting for the acquisition of New Just Fun and Oops Global SA. In particular, the
                 fair value of assets and liabilities disclosed were determined provisionally as the valuations had not been
                 finalised. Upon finalising these valuations, the Group has retrospectively adjusted the provisional amounts
                 recognised at acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that
                 existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts
                 recognised as of that date. The impact of the restatement on the prior period numbers is as follows:

         Impairment testing

         The Group has performed impairment testing on:

         -  all cash-generating-units ("CGUs") where there is an indication that they may be impaired or impairment
            should be reversed; and
         -  all CGUs that contain goodwill.

         For the purposes of determining the CGUs of the Group, the guidelines as per IAS 36 were followed and the
         below considerations were given:

         -  how the Group reports its financial management accounts;
         -  how management makes day-day operational decisions; and
         -  how management makes decisions about continuing with or disposing of the entity's assets.

         CGUs where there is an indication that they may be impaired or impairment reversal

         The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on a fair value less cost to sell, or value-in-use
         calculation as appropriate.

         Value-in-use calculation uses cash flow projections approved by management. These cash flow forecasts cover
         four years. The cash flows after the forecast period are extrapolated into the future over the useful life of the
         CGU using a steady growth rate that is consistent with that of the industry and country.

         In determining value in use, projected cash flows are discounted using the entity-specific pre-tax discount rate.
         Projected cash flows were adjusted for each CGU's specific risks. The pre-tax discount rate was calculated as
         16,67% for the current period (2018: 18,73%) and terminal value growth rate of 4,1% (2018: 4,0%).

         Expected future cash flows are inherently uncertain and could materially change over time. They are significantly
         affected by a number of factors including production estimates, economic factors such as commodity prices,
         discount rates, currency exchange rates, and estimates of costs to produce. Management believes that any
         reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount are based would not
         cause the carrying amounts to exceed their recoverable amount.

         Fair value has been determined by independent external valuers who have taken into account the current
         market conditions for the nature, age and condition of the assets involved.

         The events and circumstances that led to the recognition of the impairment losses are as follows:

         Poor results and/or budgeted future results triggered an assessment of realisable value.

         The events and circumstances that led to the reversal of impairments are as follows:

         Changes in the dynamics of the market in which certain businesses within the industrial segment operate,
         resulted in better than expected performances.

         Impairment testing for CGUs containing goodwill

         There were six CGUs containing goodwill in the current period. The recoverable amount of these CGUs was
         based on value in use, estimated using discounted cash flows.

         The key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amount are set out below. The values assigned
         to the key assumptions represented management's assessment of future trends in the relevant industries and
         were based on historical data from both external and internal sources.
                                                                                           2019                    2018
                                                                                              %                       %
          Average discount rate                                                           16,67                   18,73
          Terminal value growth rate                                                        4,1                     4,0

          The estimated recoverable amount of the CGU exceeded its carrying amount. There are no reasonable changes
          in the key assumptions that will cause the carrying amount to equal or exceed the recoverable amount.

6.  Significant financing activities

    6.1   Significant related party transactions

          Current period

          The Group has a loan of R88,7 million (2018: R99,3 million) from Hosken Consolidated Investments Limited
          (ultimate holding company) ("HCI").

          Prior period

          The Group acquired 100% of the shares in Formex from HCI with effect from 1 August 2017 for an amount of
          R25 million. The transaction was announced on SENS on 10 July 2017 and 21 July 2017 and funded through
          a loan from HCI.

    6.2   Banking facilities

          Current period

          The Group has obtained additional banking facilities of R71,9 million to fund properties acquired during the
          period.

          A property loan of R150 million is repayable on 30 June 2019. The Group's forecast cash flows allow for the
          renegotiation of this repayment to be rolled forward as in prior years, but if not successful, the Group has
          the ability to sell assets to meet this liability.

          Prior period

          R50 million of short-term facility was renegotiated to term funding.

7.  Events after the reporting period

    Subsequent to the reporting period, Ms Rachel Watson resigned from the board and Ms Faith Mahloma has been
    appointed to the board as an independent non-executive director with effect from 20 May 2019.

8.  Distribution

    Notice is hereby given that a final distribution of 3 cents (gross) per ordinary share in respect of the 12 months
    ended 31 March 2019 has been declared and approved by the board of directors out of stated capital through the
    reduction of contributed tax capital ("distribution").

    In compliance with the requirements of Strate and the JSE Limited, the following dates are applicable:
 
    Distribution declared                                                                        Thursday 23 May 2019
    Last day to trade cum distribution                                                           Tuesday 11 June 2019
    Shares trade ex distribution                                                               Wednesday 12 June 2019
    Record date                                                                                   Friday 14 June 2019
    Payment date                                                                                 Tuesday 18 June 2019

    Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday 12 June 2019 and Friday
    14 June 2019, both days inclusive.

    Additional information

    The directors have determined that this capital reduction distribution will be paid out of qualifying contributed tax
    capital as contemplated in the definition of "contributed tax capital" in section 1 of the Income Tax Act, 1962.

    As the distribution will be regarded as a return of capital and may have potential capital gains tax consequences,
    Deneb shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the impact of the distribution.

    The directors have reasonably concluded that the company will satisfy the solvency and liquidity requirements of
    sections 4 and 46 of the Companies Act, 2008, immediately after the capital distribution.

    The number of issued ordinary shares is 433 926 735 as at the date of this declaration.

9.  New standards
    
    IFRS 16 Leases

    IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016. It will result in almost all leases being recognised on the balance sheet, as
    the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to
    use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. The only exceptions are short-term and
    low-value leases. The accounting for lessors will not change significantly.

    The standard will primarily affect the accounting for the Group's operating leases. As at the reporting date, the
    Group has non-cancellable operating lease commitments of R62 million.

    The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.


Commentary

The Group made some good progress in the year under review, despite various challenges. The brand distribution
businesses, with a few notable exceptions, struggled with a softer retail environment and saw both turnover and margins
under pressure. The manufacturing businesses were negatively impacted by the poor economic conditions, which saw
demand soften. This is particularly true for the manufacturing businesses interfacing into the construction and mining sectors.
The advent of load shedding towards the end of the financial year also put the manufacturing businesses under strain.

Turnover from continuing operations was up R409 million (16%) to just shy of R3 billion. This growth is attributable in part to
acquisitions made in the prior year being held for a full 12-month period in the current reporting period. However, certain of
the businesses did manage to achieve good growth despite the difficult environment, most notably Formex, our automotive
component manufacturing business.

Gross margins as reported reflect a decline of 110 basis points. However, profits and losses on foreign exchange are
recorded in the other income and expenses line, below gross profit. The other side of the foreign exchange profit and loss
will, to a large extent, reflect in the landed cost of products sold and thus needs to be considered in any analysis of gross
margins. In the current year the Group recorded a foreign exchange profit of R15 million as opposed to a foreign exchange
loss of R26 million in the prior period. Adjusting for this, gross margins increased by 50 basis points year on year, which is
more reflective of the operating reality.

The Group's toy distribution businesses Prima Toys and New Just Fun Group were affected by one of their significant
customers, Hamleys, being placed into business rescue. The Group's exposure to Hamleys was some R18 million although
this was mitigated by insurance cover which recouped some R15 million. However, for reporting purposes, the R18 million
bad debt write-off is included in selling expenses whilst the insurance recoupment is recorded in other income. This, together
with the large swing in foreign exchange profit and loss, mentioned above, accounts for most of the variance in the other
income and expense line. The other increases in the cost lines are largely explained by the fact that, as mentioned, the
acquisitions are reported for 12 months in the current year and only for a portion of the corresponding period.

Operating profit before fair value adjustments from continuing operations was up R40 million (37%). The weaker property
market meant that investment properties were revalued up by just R13 million in the current period as opposed to R44 million
in the prior period. However, owner-occupied properties were revalued up by R31 million in the current year compared to
R29 million in the prior period. The revaluation of the owner-occupied properties is recorded in the other comprehensive
income section of the report.

In the prior year, we recognised a deferred tax asset which resulted in taxation income of R63 million being reported. In the
current year, we have reported a taxation expense of R20 million. The swing in the taxation number results in the Group
reporting a profit after tax from continuing operations of R31 million, down R83 million (73%) on the prior period.

The Group has started a process that may lead to it divesting from certain businesses, namely Winelands Textiles, Frame
Knitting Manufacturers, Brand ID and First Factory Shops. The businesses have been put on the market for sale and we
will update shareholders of the progress as and when appropriate. The results for these businesses are disclosed under
discontinuing operations and reflect a loss in the current period of R78 million compared to a loss of R108 million in the
prior period. These losses can be broken down into operating loss of R35 million (2018: R87 million), impairments and
restructuring costs of R41 million (2018: R30 million), interest charges of R8 million (2018: R1 million) and tax credits of
R5 million (2018: R10 million).

Net asset value per share is down 14 cents (4%) to R3,74 per share whilst tangible net asset value per share remained
flat at R3,29 per share.
