Two fatalities were recorded during the year, which we deeply regret
Improvements on Safety (2010 v 2011):
16% improvement in (Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate) LTIFR to
1.57 for the year (2010: 1.87)
12% decrease in total injuries (2011: 211 v 2010:240)
Comprehensive contractor safety management program initiated
in October 2011
Furnace no 7 rebuild project was completed with zero recordable
injuries.

12 Economic Overview- global economy The outlook of the global economy remains highly uncertain, with the biggest
risk factor remaining the European sovereign debt crisis and whether
European banks can be viably recapitalised.
Therefore, a sharp decline in GDP growth in the eurozone is expected.
However, there are some signs of reacceleration and rebound in growth rates
in H2 2012.
The US is the only region with above trend growth for 2012, as the US exits
the crisis.
A recovery in the US construction market could result in trend growth
sustainably above 5% for several years.
Credit Suisse – “Steel is the industrial cycle in our view, the cycle appears to
have troughed, and consequently this supports a bull run for commodities and
equities through to probably mid 2013.”

13 Economic Overview – SA Economy Real GDP growth for 2011 was 3.1%, with a weaker forecast of 2.7% for 2012.
Higher consumer inflation of 6.2% is projected for 2012, compared to the inflation
rate of 5.0% of 2011.
The budget proposes R845 billion expenditure on public infrastructure over the
next 3 fiscal years, with an expected nominal growth of 15.8% during 2012/2013 of
such expenditure, which is expected to stimulate growth.
The Rand has strengthened by 6.4% against the US Dollar from R8.18/$ in
November 2011 to R7.63/$ in January 2012 with Reuters Econometer projecting
the rand to end the year at 7.59 to the dollar.
The external environment remains the biggest risk to the SA economy

Global Steel Markets
Global crude steel output increased by 6.8% to a record 1,527 Mt for 2011
compared to 2010.
South-Africa’s output decreased by 12.7% to 6.7 Mt in 2011 from 2010.
Global steel output has migrated from the developed to the developing
countries.
3 main movements in the steel market:
US recovered at a rapid rate with a 7.1% increase in output for 2011 v 2010, but with the
risk of peaking growth rates
Europe remains in negative growth and requires recovery of global demand for continued
momentum
China is experiencing a structural slowdown with a trough in Q 2 2012, to reaccelerate in
H2 2012

The LMB FeV price gradually weakened on a quarterly basis throughout
2011 from an average price of US$30.75/kg V in Q 1 2011 to end at
US$ 25 /kg V in Q 4 2011.
2012 did not start off promising with an average price of US$ 23.01/kg V
for January 2012.
However, the price has since improved and is currently fluctuating
between US$ 25 and US$ 26/kg V.
It is expected that demand for high-strength micro alloyed steels will
continue to grow.
Vanadium remains a preferred micro alloy due to ease of use.

Group EBITDA : 2011 vs. 2010 (R'000s)
1. The increase in plate price is due to improved market conditions
2. Coil cost of salesare lower in 2011 due to decreased sales in 2011.3. Coil sales volumes are lower in 2011 mainly due to poor market conditions.
4. Structurals cost of sales increased due to an increase in sales volumes.5. Structurals volumes increased by 17kt, the significant variance is mainly due to the change in local/export sales ratio (2010: 54/64, 2011: 76/24).
6. Semi's cost of sales increased due to increased sales volumes in 2011 to ArcelorMittal South Afirica .
7. In 2011 a decreased loss on scrap sales were realised due to increased sales prices and lower volumes.8. Idle plant cost increased due to decreased production during 2011 due to furnace 7 being down for conversion to OSB, planned maintenance shut downs and the SEIFSA contractors strike.9. NRV adjustment - high stock levels of local & export steel at end 2010 were reduced during 1H 2011 resulting in a high NRV provision release - a large quantity of coil at the low bulk deal prices was included in stock at end 2010, which was mostly released in 1H 2011. Decrease in seconds and scrap stock and improvement in scrap selling prices during 2011 also contributed to the significant release.

Group EBITDA : 2H 2011 vs 1H 2011 (R'000)G
1. Plate cost of sales decreased due to lower sales in 2H.2. Plate volumes are lower in 2H due to a poor order book caused by a depressed domestic market.
3. Coil cost of sales decreased due to lower sales in 2H.4. Coil volumes are lower in 2H due to a combination of poor order book caused by a depressed domestic market and lower production caused by the SEIFSA contractors strike and shut downs of the Mill.
5. Structurals cost of sales decreased due to lower sales in 2H, due to lower production from the planned maintenance shutdown and the SEIFSA contractors strike.
6. Semi's cost of sales increased due to increased sales volumes in 2011 to ArcelorMittal South Afirica.
7. The average exchange rate during 1H was R6.90 compared to 2H of R7.61.8. The lower vanadium profit is mainly due to the lower LMB prices achieved in 2H (average $27.14),in comparison with 1H (average $30.35).9. Idle plant cost increased due to decreased production during second half of the year due to the SEIFSA contractors strike action in July and planned maintenance shut downs.10. A significant NRV release was realised in 1H 2011 due to reduction in steel stock and improvement of market prices.

Future Prospects
Initial operational difficulties experienced, which could result in lower
steel sales volumes for Q1 2012
Weak domestic demand for structural products and consequently
export opportunities will be utilised
Lower flat products prices expected for Q1 2012 due to weaker
domestic demand and international prices
Improving vanadium prices
Investigating localisation initiatives and incentives to promote the use
of EH products in support of government's massive infrastructure
spend plan.
Significant presence of imports of steel products in the local market
