AUDITED ABRIDGED GROUP RESULTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 10 JULY 2022

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY

The company's directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Group's financial statements, of

which this press release represents an extract.

The audited annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and in a manner required by the Companies and Other Business Entities Act (Chapter 24:31) (COBE) and the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) Listing Requirements except for the non-compliancestated in the paragraph below.

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these audited annual financial statements are consistent with those applied in the previous annual financial

statements, except for non-compliance with (IAS) 21 (Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates), (IAS) 1 (Presentation of Financial Statements), IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers), (IAS) 2 (Inventories) and

valuation methodology on property, plant and equipment.

There is no significant impact arising from new and revised IFRS which became effective for reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2021.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT - RELIANCE ON ALL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PREPARED IN ZIMBABWE FOR 2021/2022

The directors would like to advise users to exercise caution in the use of these annual financial statements due to the

material and pervasive impact of the technicalities brought about by the change in the functional currency in Zimbabwe

in February 2019, its consequent impact on the usefulness of the financial statements for 2021/2022 financial

periods and the adoption of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 29 (Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies), effective 1 July 2019.

Whilst the Directors have exercised due care, and applied judgements that they felt were appropriate

in the preparation and presentation of these annual financial statements, certain distortions may arise due to various specific economic factors that may affect the

relevance and reliability of information that is presented in economies that are experiencing hyperinflation, as well as technicalities regarding the change in functional and reporting currency.

ADOPTION OF IAS 29 (FINANCIAL REPORTING IN HYPERINFLATIONARY ECONOMIES)

As previously reported, the Public Accountants and Auditors Board (PAAB) having assessed the impact of hyperinflation in the economy advised that the conditions for adopting IAS

29 were satisfied with effect from 1 July 2019.

IAS 29 requires that inflation-adjusted financial statements become the entity's primary financial statements. The

Group has complied with this requirement, and this report is therefore based on inflation-adjustedfinancial statements.

Financial statements prepared under the historical cost convention have been prepared as supplementary information.

EXTERNAL AUDITOR'S STATEMENT

These abridged Group annual financial statements should

be read in conjunction with the complete set of the Group annual financial statements for the year ended 10 July 2022. The Group's annual financial statements have been audited

by Grant Thornton Chartered Accountants (Zimbabwe), who have issued adverse audit opinion as a result of non- compliance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 21 (Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates), (IAS) 2 (Inventories), (IAS) 1 (Presentation of Financial Statements),

and IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) on the presentation of manufacturing profit and valuation

methodology on property, plant and equipment.

The Auditor's opinion on the Group's annual financial statements is available for inspection at the Company's

registered office. The Engagement Partner responsible

for the audit is Mr Trevor Mungwazi (PAAB practicing

certificate number 0622).

KEY FINANCIAL REPORTING MATTERS

Users are advised to exercise caution in the interpretation of these Group annual statements.

MERCHANDISE PERFORMANCE

High unemployment levels and low disposable incomes due to inflation had a negative impact on volumes sold, with customers resorting to buying product in the unregulated informal market at prices which the business could not compete against.

TRADING PERFORMANCE

Sales and profitability were adversely affected by the restrictive pricing laws which rendered products expensive in US Dollar terms and relatively cheap in Zimbabwe Dollar

terms. This was further exacerbated by the widening gap between the official exchange rate and the market

exchange rate.

CREDIT MANAGEMENT

The book grew by 207.1% and 90% of the customers were in good standing and able to purchase compared to 84.8% in the prior year. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross debtors was 13.2% compared to 6.7% in the prior year.

DIRECTORATE

Bruce H. Henderson was appointed to the Board with effect from 1 December 2022. Bruce is a Chartered Accountant by profession with experience in diverse industries. He is also a non-executive director of Dairibord Holdings Limited and Turnall Holdings Limited.

DIVIDEND

The directors deemed it prudent not to declare a dividend.

OUTLOOK

The environment remains uncertain in particular the sustainability of the regulated rate of 200% and tight ZWL liquidity.

The business suspended ZWL credit sales from 1 July 2022 due to the high interest rates.

US Dollar credit is considered on a selective basis where there is assurance that the US Dollar earnings are GUARANTEED. With the suspension of ZWL credit and limited USD credit, volumes will inevitably come down and there will have to be focus on productive cost rationalisation and working capital management.

APPRECIATION

The Board would like to express their heartfelt thanks to

Management, Staff and all other stakeholders for their efforts and support in this difficult climate.

AUDITED ABRIDGED GROUP RESULTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 10 JULY 2022

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION (continued)

  1. IAS 21 (The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates)
    As noted in the Group's 2019 financial statements, the Government of Zimbabwe promulgated Statutory
    Instrument 33 (S.I. 33) on 22 February 2019, giving legal effect to the reintroduction of the Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWL$) as legal tender and prescribed that for accounting and other purposes, certain assets and liabilities on the effective date would be deemed to be Zimbabwe Dollars at the rate which was at par with the United States Dollar (USD). Guidance issued by the Public Accountants and Auditors Board (PAAB), noted that the requirements of
    SI33 were contrary to the provisions of IAS 21. The Directors have always ensured compliance with IFRS but were unable to do so in respect of the comparative financial information due to the conflict between IAS 21 and local statutory requirements. Due to the material and pervasive impact of these technicalities in the previous periods
    and the carrying over effects of these misstatements on the current period consolidated inflation-adjusted financial statements, the Directors would like to advise users to exercise caution in their use of these inflation- adjusted financial statements.
  2. Adoption of IAS 29 (Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies)
    In October 2019, the PAAB issued a pronouncement prescribing that the application of financial reporting in
    hyperinflationary economies had become effective in Zimbabwe, for reporting periods on or after 01 July 2019.
    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 29. The Group adopted the Zimbabwe
    Consumer Price Index ('CPI") as the general price index to restate transactions and balances. Monetary assets and liabilities and non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value have been restated as the are presented at the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. Items recognised in the income statement have
    been restated by applying the change in general price index from the dates when initially recorded in the Group's financial records (transaction date). A net monetary adjustment was recognised in the statement of profit or loss for the year ended 10 July 2022. Comparative amounts in the Group financial results have been restated to reflect
    the change in the general price index from 22 February 2019 to the end of the reporting period. All items in the statement of cashflows are expressed based on the restated financial information for the period.
    As mentioned above, the Group adopted the Zimbabwe Consumer Price Index ("CPI") as the general price index and used the monthly indices to inflation adjust the historical figures. The indices and conversion factors used to restate the accompanying financial statements are as follows:

  1. GOING CONCERN
    The Directors have assessed the ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future and believe that the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis is appropriate.
  2. EVENTS AFTER THE END OF REPORTING PERIOD
    There have not been any events after reporting date that have had an impact on the financial statements. The group continues to rationalise operations though maintaining profitable sites, as such 4 Stores were closed after the reporting period and this had no impact on the financial statements being presented.
