"The group has now also successfully established a sustainable and diversified revenue stream from
operations in Australia, which are performing well.

"The upgrade of the Beitbridge Border Post, the group's biggest project to date, achieved its first milestone
on time with quality execution.

"Government's commitment to infrastructure spend and the high levels of tender activity is also encouraging.

"The current secured order book, strong management team, supported by a healthy balance sheet, position
the group well to take advantage of the high level of tender activity in the market."
