FIVE-YEAR FINANCIAL REVIEW
6
INTRODuCTIONThe year proved challenging for the group on
both macro and micro fronts. In the big picture
the local economy was not business-friendly
in light of the major incidence of labour unrest,
which resulted in an inconsistent business flow
and caused severe uncertainty, manifested by
a shortage in material supply. This further led to
another slow-down in the construction sector
with many projects delayed and some even
shelved indefinitely.
Naturally as volumes decreased, competition
increased, resulting in reduced pricing
dominating the market and squeezing margins.
During this tough business environment we
remained focused on cost management
and our ongoing efficiency drive. We are
implementing innovative cost-saving initiatives,
which will position us well to capitalise on the
anticipated future market up-tick. A particular
focus was improving efficiency and profitability
in our Glass division to ensure its long-term
sustainability.
OPERATIONAL REVIEWSteel and Aluminium, the group’s manufacturing
segments, are both battling ever-intensifying
competition and extreme client price sensitivity,
meaning unabated margin pressure.
At Glass the rationalisation programme,
which included reviewing inventory
levels, contributed to depressed revenue.
However, the new management team has
now implemented systems and production
management procedures which are expected
to deliver improved margins and a greater
production capacity.
The Port Elizabeth branch of HBS was closed
during the year in light of its continued
underperformance.
FINANCIAL RESuLTSRevenue declined by 20.1% to R376 million
from R470.4 million in the previous year.
Revenue at all divisions was down, with
Aluminium recording the most significant
year-on-year drop of 30.3%. This contributed
to a group operating loss of R27.9 million,
compared to a profit of R39.8 million in the
previous year.
Headline earnings decreased from
R28.7 million to a loss of R30.7 million,
resulting in a negative headline earnings per
share of 26.1 cents from a positive headline
earnings per share of 24.2 in the prior year.
SuSTAINAbILITYWe recognise that our sustainability as a
group is dependent on more than our financial
performance, and is heavily impacted by the
manner in which we pursue value creation.
JOINT ChAIRMAN’S AND CEO’S REPORT
Chevron Building, Century City
7MAZOR INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2015
Our social and ethics committee is charged
with monitoring the wider sustainable
development at the group. During the year the
committee reviewed such practices as ethics
and compliance, corporate social investment,
stakeholder relations, BBBEE, health and public
safety, labour relations and working conditions,
training, and development and management of
the group’s environmental impacts.
OuTLOOKWe believe things are looking up and we
are confident of delivering a substantially
stronger performance in the next financial
year. Currently in the construction business –
affecting Steel and Aluminium – the market as
a whole is more buoyant, with prices on the up.
With improved pricing we expect an increase
in volumes as well as a margin up-tick. On the
back of the market turnaround we have
secured major projects. Our order books for
Aluminium and Steel are both healthy.
Our distribution businesses – HBS and
Compass – are also expected to benefit from
better market conditions. In particular, we see
increased activity in the residential sector,
which historically heralds a sustainable upturn
in construction. The increased activity bodes
well for material distribution as increased
demand will alleviate pricing pressure and drive
up margins. As the construction momentum
gains traction, we expect volumes to increase
substantially in the latter part of the year.
The one thorn in our side, and in everyone
else’s, remains security of power supply and
the uncertainty this creates. Power outages
interfere with planning and disrupt production.
While we endeavour to adapt to ‘planned
outages,’ we are still impacted by those many
outages that are sporadic and unplanned.
DIVIDENDSNo dividend was declared for the year as the
group incurred losses.
OuR ThANKS We would like to thank our management
team and all our staff for their hard work and
tenacity in the face of a difficult year of ongoing
challenges.
We also thank our business partners, suppliers,
advisers and our valued clients and shareholders
for their continued confidence in the group.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT
The group is committed to the principles of
accountability, integrity and transparency as
set out in the King III Report on Corporate
Governance in South Africa (‘King III’).
In doing so the directors seek to identify
and mitigate significant risks, ensuring
sustainable business practices underpinned
by transparent communication with all
stakeholders. The board monitors compliance
with the Code of Corporate Practices
and Conduct contained within the King III
Report. The board adheres to the ‘apply or
explain’ principle as contained in this report
and required in terms of the JSE Listings
Requirements. The board is of the opinion that
the group is mostly in compliance with the
recommendations of the King III Report.
ThE bOARDThe board comprises eight directors with a
majority of non-executive directors (five), four
of whom are independent. The board is chaired
by independent non-executive chairman,
Mr M Kaplan. The board is committed to the
sustainability and growth of the company.
The responsibilities of the chairman and
CEO are strictly separated, echoed in
the separation of duties of the remaining
executive directors and non-executive
directors, to ensure that no director can
exercise unfettered powers of decision-
making. The chairman provides leadership
and guidance to the board and encourages
proper deliberation on all matters requiring
the board’s attention while obtaining
input from other directors. The CEO and
other executive directors are responsible
for devising and overseeing strategy and
operational decisions in respect of the day-
to-day operations which are implemented
by management. Non-executive directors

knowledge and experience to board
deliberations. All non-executive directors are
sufficiently qualified to contribute significant
industry skill and expertise.
Board members are required to act with due
diligence and care in all company dealings
and to uphold the values and ethics of
the company and are accountable to the
shareholders for the company’s performance.
Non-executive directors have unrestricted
access to management at any time. Directors
further have access to the external auditors.
All directors are entitled, at the group’s
expense, to seek independent professional
advice on any matters pertaining to the group
where they deem this to be necessary.
In accordance with the memorandum of
incorporation one-third of directors retire
each year by rotation. Their reappointment
will be subject to shareholders’ approval at
the annual general meeting. At the upcoming
annual general meeting Messrs A Varachhia
and A Groll will retire and, being eligible, will
stand for re-election. None of the non-executive
directors have service contracts with the group.
The board is governed by a Board Charter
detailing its composition, appointment,
responsibilities and processes, as well as
the fiduciary duties and role of each director.

the individual members of the board and the
board as a whole. A consolidated summary of
the evaluation was reported to and discussed
by the board, including any actions and
suggestions for improvements.
The Charter is reviewed annually and is
currently in the process of being reviewed in
conjunction with the internal auditors of the
group, as part of their focus on corporate
governance during the coming year.

bOARD PROCESSESCompany secretaryThe company secretary is responsible for
updating the board on legislative and/or
regulatory developments on an ongoing basis.
All directors have unrestricted access to the
advice and services of the company secretary
and to company records, information,
documents and property.
In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements
regulations 3.84(i) and 7.F.6(j), the board of
directors must satisfy itself, on an annual
basis, on the competence, qualifications
and experience of the company secretary.
The board has satisfied itself on these criteria
by confirming the company secretary’s
qualifications (ACIS) and experience through
verification with third parties. In terms
of regulation 4.8(c) of the JSE Listings
Requirements, the company secretary should
maintain an arm’s length relationship with
the board of directors and should ideally
not be a director. The board is satisfied
that an arm’s length relationship does
exist between the company secretary and
itself in that the company secretary has no
separate relationship of any nature with any
of the directors which could lead to conflicts
of interest and dilution of the company
secretary’s independence.
Regulatory and legislative complianceThe company secretary liaises closely with the
group’s sponsor to ensure the group complies
with all applicable regulations and legislation.
Conflicts of interestsDirectors are required to disclose their
shareholdings, additional directorships and
any potential conflicts of interest to the
chairman or the company secretary. Directors
are required to recuse themselves from
discussion and voting upon any matter in
which they may have an interest.
Dealing in securitiesDirectors are prohibited from dealing in the
group’s shares during closed periods which
in any year extend from 1 March to the day
the annual results are announced and from
1 September to the day the interim results are
announced. In addition, all directors cannot
trade during any period where they have
access to any price-sensitive information.
Before dealing in the shares of the group
directors are obliged to inform the chairman
or company secretary who, together with
the sponsor, ensures that such dealings are
published on SENS.
New appointmentsThe board, together with the remuneration
and nomination committee, is responsible
for identifying and nominating new directors.
The appointment process is conducted in a
formal and transparent manner. In making
new appointments the committee and the
board take into account the blend of skills and
experience, as well as social and business
concerns such as broad-based BEE.
Succession planningMazor continually seeks to identify suitable
candidates within the group to train and
mentor for succession to senior management
and the board.
bOARD COMMITTEESThe board has established and mandated a
number of committees to perform work on
its behalf in various key areas affecting the

with sufficient regularity to ensure that it
remains in line with the group’s changing
needs and business climate. As and when
required, the board may establish ad-hoc
committees to address specific issues. Details
of each board committee are provided below.
All committees have satisfied their
responsibilities during the year in compliance
with their charters.
A review of applicable charters is conducted
to take into account good corporate
governance in terms of King III and the
Companies Act No. 71 of 2008.

ACCOuNTING AND AuDITINGExternal auditThe external auditors are responsible
for reporting on whether the annual
financial statements are fairly presented
in compliance with International Financial
Reporting Standards and the requirements
of the Companies Act. The preparation of
the annual financial statements remains the

statutory laws and regulations.
There are inherent limitations to the
effectiveness of any system of internal control,
including the possibility of human error and
the circumvention or override of controls.
The system is therefore designed to manage
rather than eliminate risk of failure and
opportunity risk.
Risk managementThe board, together with the audit and risk
committee, is responsible for overseeing risk
management activities and ensuring that the
requisite risk management culture, policies,
practices and systems are implemented and
functioning effectively.
STAKEhOLDER COMMuNICATIONThe group is committed to timely, consistent
and transparent communication with all
stakeholders. In doing so Mazor strives to
provide a balanced and understandable
assessment of the group’s position.
In all manners of communication including
financial reporting, formal announcements,
media releases, annual meetings,
presentation and dialogue with investors and
analysts, the group seeks to be clear, open,
prompt and balanced, communicating in
substance rather than form.
Company announcements are published on
SENS and posted on the company’s website.
Financial results announcements are also
posted to shareholders. Further, the chairman,
CEO and financial director are available to
answer queries from stakeholders, including
industry analysts, at all times and wherever
possible engage with the financial media to
ensure accurate reporting.
The annual general meeting provides an
opportunity to communicate directly with
shareholders and the group encourages
shareholders to attend and voice their opinions.
CORPORATE SOCIAL INVESTMENT (‘CSI’)The group aims to contribute to the economic
well-being and social development of the
communities in which it operates through job
creation and donations and educational and
cultural contributions. The social and ethics
committee is responsible for this programme.
bbbEEDirect black shareholding in the group
totals 15%, held by Cloudberry Investments
18 (Pty) Ltd, Clusten 54 (Pty) Ltd and Nabaz
Properties (Pty) Ltd. The group is constantly
striving to broaden BEE participation at group
level on identification of viable opportunities in
this regard.
PREFERENTIAL PROCuREMENTIn terms of discretionary spend the group
seeks to secure products and services from
black-owned and managed enterprises as far
as is commercially viable.
GOING CONCERNThe annual financial statements contained
in this annual report have been prepared on
a going concern basis as the directors have
every reason to believe that the company
and the group have adequate resources to
continue in operation for the year ahead.
NON-COMPLIANCE WITh ThE CODEIn some instances the Group has not complied
with the King III Code on good corporate
governance. In accordance with the ‘comply
or explain’ principle of the Code, the table
below sets out instances of non-compliance
together with explanations for the relevant
non-compliance.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT (continued)
KING III recommendation Explanation for non-compliance
Constitution of the audit and risk committee
The chairman of the board, Monty Kaplan, was a member of this committee
during the 2015 financial year. Monty is a chartered accountant with years
of experience and the board wished to draw on this expertise. He will remain
as a member of this committee, which does not comply with the code which
determines that the chairman of the board may not be a member of the audit
committee. Having regard to the group’s size and the effectiveness of the current
audit and risk committee, the board does not view the appointment of another
independent non-executive director to the board to replace Monty Kaplan on this
committee as an effective use of the group’s resources.
Chairman of the nomination committee The group has combined the nomination and remuneration committee and this
committee is chaired by Mr F Boner. The chairman of the board, Mr M Kaplan, will
however chair all meetings dealing with nominations.
Compliance framework for the group In terms of principle 6.4 of King III the board should delegate the responsibility
for the implementation of an effective compliance framework to management.
Responsibility for compliance has been assigned to the company secretary to
identify legislative impacts on the group whilst heads of divisions are responsible
for compliance with relevant legislation.

REMuNERATION AND NOMINATIONCOMMITTEE REPORT
The committee assists the board in ensuring that the group’s remuneration and recruitment policy is aligned with overall business strategy, with the aim
of attracting and retaining personnel who will create long-term value for all its stakeholders.
The group’s policy is to remunerate its directors, executives and staff by paying them competitively structured packages, thereby aligning the corporate
objectives with the commitment and performance of individuals.
Remuneration is benchmarked against industry norms and is performance-related. The employee’s level of experience and qualifications are also taken
into consideration when determining remuneration.
Non-executive directors are paid a monthly retainer as well as a fee per meeting. The monthly retainers are paid on a quarterly basis. Non-executive
directors’ fees were increased on 1 July 2014 as follows:

over remuneration and incentives of executive
directors. In addition, the committee approves
incentive bonus schemes for senior employees.
The committee also recommends remuneration
levels for non-executive directors to the board
to be presented to shareholders for approval.
Directors’ emoluments are disclosed in note 27

17MAZOR INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2015
The group affects its stakeholders in a number
of ways and has an economic, environmental
and social impact which it is committed to
manage responsibly. This report aims to inform
stakeholders about significant impact areas
identified, the group’s approach to addressing
these challenges and taking advantage of
opportunities presented. The report further
addresses our process and progress in
these areas.
The group acquires the products it uses in its
manufacturing process from market-leading
suppliers. When these materials are acquired
by the group they have already undergone
processing subsequent to their harvesting from
the natural environment. Mazor Group has no
influence over these processes.
The group’s direct impact on the environment
mainly has to do with energy consumption (fuel
and electricity) and CO2 emissions, primarily as
a result of vehicles distributing products to end
customers or construction sites.
We therefore consider that the group can
influence economic sustainability and social
sustainability to a larger extent than its impact
on the environment.
The report therefore has a strong focus
on economic and social impacts, with a
considerable focus on employment.
ECONOMICThe value added statement shows the value
that the group has created through its trading
and investing operations. Mazor Group
generates value for many stakeholders
as follows:

The majority of the group’s employees are in the Western Cape (70.15%) (2014: 71.97%). This is correlated to the fact that 64% (2014: 64%) of group’s revenue is derived in the Western Cape.
Employee turnover Mazor employs 469 people (2014: 586).

SuSTAINAbILITY REPORT (continued)
51.74% of total employee turnover was due to
non-renewal of contracts. Due to the cyclical
nature of the group’s construction divisions, the
group hires additional employees on fixed-term
contracts as and when required.
21 employees were dismissed during the
year. The group follows proper disciplinary
procedures throughout all the operating
units which are both procedurally and
substantively fair.
All of the employees who absconded are
engaged in direct labour where traditionally
the employee turnover is high.
The group provides fair working conditions
and remunerates at market-related rates.
‘Other’ includes termination due to retirement,
death and restructuring and as such included
the employees no longer employed by the
group due to the closure of the Port Elizabeth
division of HBS Aluminium Systems.
The group hired 142 new employees during
the year. When the number of employees
leaving is set off against the number of
employees hired the net number of employees
leaving is 117. A large number of employees
hired are on fixed-term contracts as needed
to match the volume of work. The overall
reduction in staff numbers is therefore in line
with the reduction in construction volumes.
Furthermore, the group closed down the
Port Elizabeth division of HBS Aluminium
Systems. Both of these had the effect of
reducing the group’s workforce.
The group is constantly striving to increase
efficiencies in a very competitive environment
thereby impacting employment rates.
DiversityAs would be expected, the majority of the
group’s employees (71.64%) (2014: 75.6%)
are between the ages of 25 and 50 years
old and, having regard to the industry, it is
predominantly male.
Mazor has a policy of equal opportunity and
non-discrimination in employment, ensuring
no discrimination on the base of race, gender
or creed.

21MAZOR INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2015
Collective bargainingThe group endorses the employees’ rights
enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic
of South Africa Act No.108 of 1996, including
the right to collective bargaining and other
labour rights under constitutional laws.
We acknowledge the right of our employees
to freedom of association.
Approximately 32% of the group’s employees
are represented by trade unions and some
additional 36% of the total workforce is
covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Occupational health and safetyThe group regards the health and safety of its
employees and that of persons affected by its
operations to be fundamental to sustainability.
The group’s primary objective is to achieve
and maintain a safe and healthy working
environment by ensuring strict compliance
with the South African Occupational Health
and Safety Act No. 85 of 1993 (‘the Act’) and
regulations.
To this end the group ensures that matters
affecting health and safety are accorded the
highest priority; adequate precautions are
taken to prevent injuries, incidents, accidents
and ill health; and the provisions of all relevant
legislation are fully complied with.
To achieve these goals Mazor provides
training to employees on occupational health
and safety issues so as to ensure competence
in the workplace, awareness of the potential
hazards implicit in their work activities and
awareness of their scope of authority in terms
of occupational health and safety control.
Furthermore the group endeavours to manage
occupational health and safety to acceptable
standards, enforce health and safety
measures through discipline in the workplace
and protect the public and people other than
company employees from health and safety
hazards associated with the group’s activities.
The group strives to eliminate fatalities
and serious injuries. Zero fatalities were
experienced in the current and prior year.
Lost time injury frequency rates (‘LTIFR’)The LTIFR is calculated as the number of
workman compensation claims involving one
shift or more time lost per 100 000 hours
worked. The group achieved an improved
LTIFR of 3.32 (2014: 4.51). We will strive to
continually decrease this number and improve
our safety record.
Skills development and trainingThe group is committed to assisting
employees at all levels to develop relevant
skills and competencies. Mazor aims to assist
employees in achieving their full potential and
in doing so endeavours to provide training for
all staff.
hIV/AIDS Mazor is concerned about HIV/AIDS in
South Africa. The group would like to develop
a formal policy in this regard and is assessing
possible awareness programmes to be
implemented in due course.
PRODuCT RESPONSIbILITYThe Group complies with laws and regulations
and no significant fines were incurred for non-
compliance with laws and regulations.
SOCIETYThe group complies with laws and regulations
and no significant fines or non-monetary
sanctions were incurred for non-compliance
with laws and regulations.
ENVIRONMENTALThe group’s impact on the environment
via CO2 emissions through its distribution
activities and its consumption of fuel and
electricity is a focus area for the future.
Environmental awareness has not traditionally
been an area of focus for the group.
Management will therefore work to embed
environmental consciousness into the culture
of the operations.
The group will investigate the benefit
of CO2 emission measurement and the
practical implementation of measurement
methodologies.
The group complies with environmental
legislation and incurred no significant fines or
non-monetary sanctions from the authorities
in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AuDITOR’S REPORT
TO ThE ShAREhOLDERS OF MAzOR GROuP LTD AND ITS SubSIDIARIESWe have audited the consolidated and
separate annual financial statements
and annual financial statements of
Mazor Group Ltd, which comprise the
consolidated and separate statements of
financial position as at 28 February 2015,
and the consolidated and separate statements
of comprehensive income, changes in equity
and cash flows for the year then ended, and
a summary of significant accounting policies
and other explanatory notes, as set out on
pages 30 to 73.
DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIbILITY FOR ThE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThe company’s directors are responsible for
the preparation and fair presentation of these
annual financial statements in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards,
and requirements of the Companies Act of
South Africa, and for such internal control as
the directors determine is necessary to enable
the preparation of annual financial statements
that are free from material misstatements,
whether due to fraud or error.
AuDITOR’S 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
auditor’s 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
auditor considers 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, the financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated and separate financial position
of Mazor Group Ltd as at 28 February 2015,
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.
OThER REPORTS REquIRED bY ThE COMPANIES ACTAs part of our audit of the financial statements
for the year ended 28 February 2015,
we have read the Directors’ Report, the
Audit and Risk Committee Report and the
Company Secretary’s Report for the purpose
of identifying whether there are material
inconsistencies between these reports and the
audited financial statements. The reports are
the responsibility of the respective preparers.
Based on our reading of these reports we
have not identified material inconsistencies
between these reports and the audited
financial statements. However, we have not
audited these reports and accordingly do not
express an opinion thereon.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIbILITY for the annual financial statements
The directors are responsible for the
preparation, integrity and fair presentation
of the financial statements of the group
and the company. The group and company
financial statements, presented on pages 25
to 73, have been prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting
Standards (‘IFRS’) and the Companies
Act of South Africa, and include amounts
based on judgements and estimates made
by management. The directors have also
prepared the other information included in the
annual report and are responsible for both its
accuracy and its consistency with the financial
statements. The annual financial statements
have been prepared under the supervision of
the financial director, Liat Mazor CA(SA).
The directors acknowledge that they are
ultimately responsible for the system of
internal financial control established by the
group and place considerable importance on
maintaining a strong control environment.
To enable directors to meet these
responsibilities, the board sets standards for
internal control aimed at reducing the risk
of error or loss in a cost-effective manner.
The standards include effective accounting
procedures and adequate segregation of
duties to ensure an acceptable level of risk.
These controls are monitored throughout
the group and all employees are required
to maintain the highest ethical standards in
ensuring the group’s business is conducted in
a manner that in all reasonable circumstances
is beyond reproach. Whilst operating risk
cannot be fully eliminated, the group
endeavours to minimise it by ensuring that
appropriate infrastructure, controls, systems
and ethical behaviour are applied and
managed within predetermined procedures
and constraints.
The directors are of the opinion that the system of internal control provides reasonable assurance that the financial records may be relied on for the preparation of the financial statements. However, any system of internal control can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss.
APPROVAL OF ThE GROuP AND COMPANY ANNuAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThe annual financial statements of the group and the company for the year ended 28 February 2015 were approved by the board of directors on 11 May 2015 and signed on its behalf by:

been approved by the board and is recorded in the Corporate Governance Report for the financial
year ended 28 February 2015.
Details of directors’ attendance at committee meetings during the year are set out below.
The number in brackets represents the total number of meetings:

^ Attended by invitation.
* F Boner served as Chairman in place of A Darko for the one meeting where he was absent.
The CEO, financial director, the partner in charge of external audit and the partner in charge of
internal audit attend the audit committee meetings by invitation.
INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENTThe various systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable assurance that
assets are safeguarded, proper accounting records are maintained, the integrity and accuracy
of financial information is protected and the incidence of fraud is minimised. The committee
has oversight of the group’s financial statements and reporting process, including the system of
internal financial control. It is responsible for ensuring that the group’s internal audit function is
independent and has the necessary resources to discharge its duties. The committee oversees
co-operation between internal and external auditors and serves as a link between the board and
these functions.
Nothing has come to the attention of the directors that indicate a material breakdown or material
weakness in the internal control of the group during the year. The committee is satisfied that the
accounting practices of the group are sound, that the financial statements fairly represent the
financial affairs of the group and that the system of internal financial control is appropriate.
Grant Thornton currently performs the internal audit function responsible for testing and reviewing
the adherence to internal control at the group’s various locations.
The committee has performed an analysis of the strategic risks to which the group is exposed and
recorded those risks in a risks register. The risks register is amended when appropriate. Strategies
for mitigating the identified risks are developed and implemented on an ongoing basis.
STATuTORY DuTIESThe audit committee reviewed the performance and independence of the external auditor,
Mazars, and the respective audit partner and has confirmed that it is satisfied with their
independence. The committee has nominated their appointment for further approval at the
annual general meeting.
The nature and extent of non-audit services
provided by the external auditors have been
reviewed to ensure that the fees for such
services do not become so significant as to
call into question their independence.
The committee had ensured that in agreeing
the audit fee for the year, that the audit
environment would not be curtailed in any
way and the appropriate level of scope be
adopted.
The committee ensured that both the internal
and external audit functions were conducted
independently.
The committee was satisfied and reported
to the board that the group was operating as
a going concern. It had also been satisfied
that the group has reported in terms of
International Financial Reporting Standards
and that the group had complied with the
JSE Listings Requirements.
In compliance with the JSE Listings
Requirements, the committee has considered
and satisfied itself that the group financial
director, Ms L Mazor, adequately performed
her duties and that she possesses the
required expertise and experience to
adequately perform her duties.
The audit committee is therefore satisfied that
the group has adhered to and complied with
all the statutory requirements for the year
ended 28 February 2015.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The directors have pleasure in submitting their
report and the annual financial statements
of the company and the group for the year
ended 28 February 2015.
NATuRE OF buSINESSThe company is listed on the ‘Construction
and Materials’ sector of the Main Board of the
JSE Ltd. The company is the holding company
of a number of subsidiary companies
principally engaged in construction activities,
supply of aluminium fenestration systems
and glass beneficiation in the Republic of
South Africa.
GROuP RESuLTSGross revenue decreased by R94.4 million
to R376 million (2014: R470.4 million)
predominantly due to the slow-down in the
construction sector. This considerable drop
in revenue contributed to the reduction of
operating profit from a profit of R39.8 million
in the prior year to an operating loss of
R28.0 million in the current year. Operating
loss in the current year includes a goodwill
impairment of R8.1 million (refer below).
The Glass division incurred operating losses
of R19.4 million during the current year
(2014: R10.9 million). In the light of the
poor performance of the Glass division, the
directors have reassessed the recoverability of
the goodwill and assessed losses attributable
to this division. This has led to an impairment
of goodwill to the amount of R8.1 million
(refer to note 3 for details) and a reversal of
a portion of the assessed losses attributed to
this division in order to account only for the
losses to be utilised in the foreseeable future.
The assessed loss not provided for amounts
to R60.9 million (2014: RNil).
Negative headline earnings for the
year amounted to R30.7 million
(2014: positive R28.7 million), a decrease
of R59.4 million.
The consolidated statement of comprehensive
income is set out on page 31.

GROuP NOTES TO ThE ANNuAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 28 February 2015
1 ACCOuNTING POLICIESPresentation of annual financial statementsThe consolidated and company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’), the interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (‘IFRIC’), the AC 500 Standards as issued by the Accounting Practices Board, and the Companies Act of South Africa.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis and these accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied throughout the group to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
basis for consolidationThe consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the holding company and its subsidiaries. All financial results are consolidated with similar items on a line-by-line basis.
Intra-group transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.
Investments in subsidiariesConsolidated annual financial statementsSubsidiaries are entities (including structured entities) in which the group has control. The group controls an entity when it has exposure to, or has rights to, variable returns from the group’s involvement with the entity and the ability to affect those returns through exercising power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the effective acquisition date until the effective disposal date or any date where there is a change in shareholding or control such that the entity becomes or ceases to be classified as a subsidiary.
Company annual financial statementsInvestments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment.
The cost of an investment in a subsidiary is the aggregate of:
• thefairvalue,atthedateofexchange,of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the company; plus
• anycostsdirectlyattributabletothepurchase of the subsidiary.
New standards and interpretationsStandards and interpretations effective and adopted in the current yearIn the current year the group has adopted the following standards and interpretations that are effective and relevant to its operations:
IFRS 13: Fair Value MeasurementClarification: Entities are still able to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate at invoice amounts without discounting when the effect of discounting is immaterial.
The standard is immediately effective.
The impact of the clarification is not material.
IAS 32: Financial Instruments – PresentationAmendment: Explanation of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right to set off’ and requirement to disclose gross amounts subject to set off rights and the related net credit exposure.
The effective date of the standard is for years beginning on or after 1 January 2014.
The impact of the amendment is not material.
IAS 36: Impairment of AssetsAmendment: Clarifies the disclosures required for the recoverable amount of impaired assets when the amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal.
The effective date of the standard is for years beginning on or after 1 January 2014.
The impact of the amendment is not material.
Standards, amendments and interpretations not yet effective for the current financial year, but effective for ensuing financial yearsThe group has chosen not to early adopt the following standards and interpretations, which have been published and are mandatory for the group’s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 March 2015 or later periods:
IFRS 9: Financial Instruments – Classification and MeasurementA finalised version of IFRS 9 has been issued which replaces IAS 39: Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement. The completed standard comprises guidance on classification and measurement, impairment, hedge accounting and derecognition:
• IFRS9introducesanewapproachtotheclassification of financial assets, which is driven by the business model in which the asset is held and their cash flow characteristics. A new business model was introduced which does allow certain financial assets to be categorised as
‘fair value through other comprehensive income’ in certain circumstances. The requirements for financial liabilities are mostly carried forward unchanged from IAS 39. However, some changes were made to the fair value option for financial liabilities to address the issue of own credit risk.
• Thenewmodelintroducesasingleimpairment model being applied to all financial instruments, as well an ‘expected credit loss’ model for the measurement of financial assets.
• IFRS9containsanewmodelforhedgeaccounting that aligns the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of an entity in addition enhanced disclosures will provide better information about risk management and the effect of hedge accounting on financial statements.
• IFRS9carriesforwardthederecognitionrequirements of financial assets and liabilities from IAS 39.
The effective date of the standard is for years beginning on or after 1 January 2018.
The impact of the new standard is currently being assessed by management.
IAS 38: Intangible AssetsAmendment: Includes a rebuttable presumption that an amortisation method that is based on revenue is inappropriate.
The effective date of the standard is for years beginning on or after 1 January 2016.
The impact of the amendment is currently being assessed by management.
IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with CustomersA new standard that establishes a single, comprehensive and robust framework for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of revenue.
The effective date of the standard is for years beginning on or after 1 January 2017.
The impact of the new standard is currently being assessed by management.
IFRS 13: Fair Value MeasurementClarification: The portfolio exemption applies to all contracts within the scope of and accounted for in accordance with IAS 39 or IFRS 9, regardless of whether they meet the definitions per IAS 32.
The effective date of the standard is for years beginning on or after 1 July 2014.

The impact of the amendments is currently being assessed by management.
Significant judgements and estimatesIn preparing the annual financial statements management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts represented in the annual financial statements and related disclosures. Use of available information and the application of judgements is inherent in the formation of estimates. Actual results in the future could differ from these estimates, which may be material to the annual financial statements.
Significant judgements include:
• Accounting for construction contracts The group makes estimates and
assumptions concerning the future, particularly as regards the calculation of the profitability of construction contracts. The resulting accounting estimates can, by definition, only approximate the actual results. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
• Impairmentoftradereceivables Estimates based on management’s
assessment of the likelihood of collecting receivables outstanding for longer than 120 days.
• Property,plantandequipment Property, plant and equipment are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life to residual value. Residual values and useful lives are based on management’s best estimates and actual future outcomes may differ from these estimates.
• Loansandreceivables The group assesses its loans and
receivables for impairment at each end of the reporting period. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the statement of comprehensive income, the group makes judgements as to whether there is observable data indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from the financial asset.
• Operatingleasecommitments The group has entered into commercial
property leases on its occupied properties.
The directors have determined, based on all available information, that the lessor retains the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and, consequently, the property leases have been accounted for as operating leases.
• Goodwill The group continually assesses the
recoverability of any goodwill carried on the statement of financial position as part of acquisitions. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill is allocated. Expected cash flows used to determine the value of goodwill are inherently uncertain and could change over time. They are affected by a number of factors including estimates of costs to produce inventory, future capital expenditure and product markets.
• Intangibleassets Predicting the useful life of an intangible
asset requires significant judgement. The useful life associated with an asset that has no patent protection but that retains, and is expected to retain, a distinct identity is considered to be 20 years and is amortised on a straight-line basis over that period.
Property, plant and equipmentAn item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset when:
• itisprobablethatfutureeconomicbenefitsassociated with the item will flow to the group; and
• thecostoftheitemcanbemeasuredreliably.
Property, plant and equipment is initially recognised at cost. The cost of property, plant and equipment includes amounts incurred initially to acquire or construct an item of property, plant and equipment and amounts incurred subsequently to add to or replace part of the asset. Replacement costs include the cost of major inspections. If a replacement cost is recognised in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Day-to-day servicing costs, such as labour and consumables, are expensed in the statement of comprehensive income.
Property, plant and equipment are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.
36
GROuP NOTES TO ThE ANNuAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 28 February 2015 (continued)
Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and equipment to write down the cost amount, less residual value, on a straight-line basis over their useful lives as follows:
Item useful life
Land Indefinite
Buildings 50 years
Plant and equipment 2 to 20 years
Furniture and fittings 3 to 6 years
Motor vehicles 3 to 8 years
Office and computer equipment 1 to 7 years
Computer software 1 to 5 years
Tools 2 to 4 years
Leasehold improvements 1 to 5 years
Where part of an item of property, plant and equipment is significant in relation to the cost of the item, that part is depreciated separately. The depreciation charge is recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income. The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods applied to property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted if necessary, on an annual basis. These changes are accounted for as a change in estimate.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no economic benefit is expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is included in the statement of comprehensive income and is calculated as the difference between the net proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item at the date of derecognition.
Intangible assetAn intangible asset is recognised when:
• itisprobablethattheexpectedfutureeconomic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity; and
• thecostoftheassetcanbemeasuredreliably.
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost.
Intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
An intangible asset is regarded as having an indefinite useful life when, based on all relevant factors, there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash inflows.
Amortisation is not provided for these intangible assets, but they are tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. For all other intangible assets amortisation is provided on a straight-line basis over their useful life.
The amortisation period and the amortisation method for intangible assets are reviewed every period-end.
The useful lives of intangible assets have been assessed as follows:
Item useful life
Unpatented technology 20 years
During the current year the useful life was reassessed as being 20 years. Previously, intangible assets had an assessed indefinite useful life based on all relevant factors available at that time.
Amortisation of intangible assets is recognised in profit and loss as incurred.
business combinations The initial accounting of a business combination on the date of acquisition follows the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed.
The cost of the business combination is the total of the fair values of all assets given, liabilities incurred and equity instruments’ shares issued to acquire the business.
The excess of the cost of the acquisition (i.e. the fair value, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the holding company) over the fair value of the group’s share of net identifiable assets is recorded as goodwill.
Any costs directly attributable to the purchase of the subsidiary are expensed in the statement of comprehensive income in accordance with IFRS 3 in the period in which the acquisition occurs.
Contingent consideration is included in the cost of the combination at fair value as at the date of acquisition. Subsequent changes to the assets, liability or equity which arise as a result of the contingent consideration are not affected against goodwill, unless they are valid measurement period adjustments.
In cases where the group held a non-controlling shareholding in the acquiree prior to obtaining control, that interest is measured to fair value as at acquisition date. The measurement to fair value is included in profit or loss for the year.
GoodwillGoodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the business combination over the group’s interest of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Subsequently, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
The excess of the group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the business combination is immediately recognised in profit or loss.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired.
Equity-accounted investmentsEquity-accounted investments are those entities in which the group has joint control or significant influence (associates). Investments in joint ventures and associates are equity accounted.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its joint ventures and associates are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are eliminated and are also considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of joint ventures and associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with policies adopted by the group.
Financial instrumentsClassificationThe group classifies financial assets and financial liabilities into the following categories:
• Loansandreceivables
• Financialliabilitiesatamortisedcost
Classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were obtained/incurred and takes place at initial recognition. Classification is reassessed on an annual basis, except for derivatives and financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss, which shall not be classified out of the fair value through profit or loss category.
37MAZOR INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2015
Initial recognition and measurementThe group classifies financial instruments, or their component parts, on initial recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the group’s statement of financial position when the group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial instruments are measured initially at fair value.
Subsequent measurementLoans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, less accumulated impairment losses.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Trade receivablesTrade receivables are measured at initial recognition at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The allowance recognised is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss within operating expenses. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against operating expenses in profit or loss.
Trade and other receivables are classified as loans and receivables.
Trade payablesTrade payables are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost.
Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and cash on hand and other short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and cash equivalents defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
Cash and cash equivalents are classified under loans and receivables.
Other financial liabilitiesOther financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, which is the cash consideration received less transaction costs. These financial liabilities are classified under financial liabilities at amortised cost.
The amortised cost method results in the accrual of interest in each year by applying the effective interest rate implicit to the outstanding balance on the borrowings. Borrowings are reduced when repayment is made.
Loans to (from) group companiesThese include loans to and from subsidiaries.
Loans to group companies are classified as loans and receivables.
Loans from group companies are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost.
An impairment loss in respect of a loan receivable is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account.
Disposal groups (discontinued operations)Disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. These disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
The group classifies a component as a discontinued operation when that component has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale and:
• itrepresentsaseparatemajorlineof business or geographical area of operations; or
• itispartofasingleco-ordinatedplanto dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or
• itisasubsidiaryacquiredexclusivelywithaview to resale.
A component of the group comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the group.
Impairment lossesThe group assesses at each end of the reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset.
The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss.
In general, an impairment loss of assets carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income.
An impairment loss is recognised for cash-generating units if the recoverable amount of the unit is less than the carrying amount of the units. The impairment loss is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of the assets of the unit in the following order:
• first,toreducethecarryingamountofanygoodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit; and
• then,totheotherassetsoftheunit,prorata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit.
The group assesses at each end of the reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised in prior periods for assets may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amounts of those assets are estimated. The increased carrying amount of an asset attributable to a reversal of an impairment loss does not exceed
38
GROuP NOTES TO ThE ANNuAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 28 February 2015 (continued)
the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.
In general, a reversal of an impairment loss of assets carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, other than goodwill, is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income.
Leases Leases of assets where the group assumes substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership are classified as finance leases. Leases of assets under which all the risks and benefits of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.
Operating leases – lesseeOperating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The difference between the amounts recognised as an expense and the contractual payments are recognised as an operating lease liability. This liability is not discounted.
Any contingent rents are expensed in the period they are incurred.
TaxCurrent tax assets and liabilitiesCurrent tax for current and prior years is, to the extent unpaid, recognised as a tax payable in the statement of financial position. If the amount already paid in respect of current and prior years exceeds the amount due for those years, the excess is recognised as a tax receivable in the statement of financial position.
Current tax liabilities and current tax assets are measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilitiesA deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except to the extent that the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit (accounting loss) nor taxable profit (tax loss).
A deferred tax asset is recognised for all unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences can be utilised. A deferred tax asset is not recognised when it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that, at the time of the transaction,
affects neither accounting profit (accounting loss) nor taxable profit (tax loss).
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the group expects to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets in the statement of financial position are reviewed annually and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are off-set for presentation in the statement of financial position where the group has a legally enforceable right to do so and the income taxes relate to the same tax authority.
Tax expensesCurrent and deferred taxes are recognised as income or an expense and included in the statement of comprehensive income except to the extent that the tax arises from:
• atransactionoreventwhichisrecognised,in the same or a different period, to other comprehensive income; or
• abusinesscombination.
The current tax payable is based on taxable income. Taxable income differs from profit reported in the statement of comprehensive income when there are items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it also excludes items that are never taxable or deductible under existing tax legislation.
InventoriesInventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis and comprises all the costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completing and the estimated cost necessary to make the sale.
When inventories are sold the carrying amounts of these inventories are recognised as an expense in the year in which the related revenue is recognised.
The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realisable value, are recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.
Construction contracts and receivablesWhere the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably contract revenue is recognised by reference to the stage of completion at the end of the reporting period as determined by surveys of work performed.
Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that they have been agreed with the customer.
When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably contract revenue is recognised to the extent that contract costs incurred are recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as an expense in the year in which they are incurred.
When it is probable that the total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately in the statement of comprehensive income.
Contract revenue comprises the initial amount of revenue agreed in the contract and variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and they are capable of being reliably measured.
Contract costs comprise the costs that relate directly to the specific contract, costs that are attributable to contract activity in general and can be allocated to the contract, and such other costs as are specifically chargeable to the customer under the terms of the contract.
Construction contracts and receivables are financial instruments classified as loans and receivables.
Employee benefitsShort-term employee benefitsThe cost of short-term employee benefits (those that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, such as wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits such as medical aid, cars and housing) are recognised
39MAZOR INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2015
in the year in which the service is rendered and are not discounted.
The expected cost of accrued leave is recognised as an expense as the employees render service that increase their entitlement or, in the case of non-accumulating leave, when the absence occurs. Accrued leave is measured as the amount that the group expects to pay as a result of unused entitlement that has accumulated to the employee at the end of the reporting period.
The expected cost of bonus payments is recognised as an expense when there is a legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past performance.
Defined contribution plansPayments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are charged as an expense as they fall due.
RevenueRevenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents the amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of trade discounts, and value added tax.
Sale of goodsRevenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions have been satisfied:
• thegrouphastransferredtothebuyerthesignificant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
• thegroupretainsneithercontinuingmanagerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
• theamountofrevenuecanbemeasuredreliably;
• itisprobablethattheeconomicbenefitsassociated with the transaction will flow to the group; and
• thecostsincurredortobeincurredinrespect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Contract revenueRevenue from construction contracts is recognised in accordance with the accounting policy for construction contracts and receivables and comprises:
• theinitialamountofrevenueagreedinthecontract; and
• variationsincontractwork,claimsandincentive payments:
– to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue; and
– they are capable of being reliably measured.
The stage of completion of construction contracts is determined by surveys of work performed.
Other incomeOther income earned by the group which is not included in revenue is recognised on the following basis:
• Interestincomeisrecognisedinthestatement of comprehensive income, using the effective interest rate method.
• Dividendsarerecognised,inprofitorloss,when an entity’s right to receive payment has been established.
Cost of salesWhen inventories are sold the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realisable value, is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.
Contract costs comprise:
• coststhatrelatedirectlytothespecificcontract;
• coststhatareattributabletocontractactivity in general and can be allocated to the contract; and
• suchothercostsasarespecificallychargeable to the customer under the terms of the contract.
borrowing costsBorrowing costs arise on the borrowing of funds and are recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income, in the finance costs line item, in the year in which they are incurred as the group does not own any qualifying assets.
Translation of foreign currenciesThe functional currency of the group is South African Rands.
Foreign currency transactions are recorded, on initial recognition in Rands, by applying to the foreign currency amount the spot exchange rate between the Rand and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. At each end of the reporting period foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are
translated using the spot exchange rate at the end of the reporting period (closing rate).
Foreign exchange gains and losses arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the year or in previous financial statements are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the year in which they arise.
Cash flows arising from transactions in a foreign currency are recorded in Rands by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the Rand and the foreign currency at the date of the cash flow.
Share capital and equityAn equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of any entity after deducting all of its liabilities.
If the group reacquires its own equity instruments (i.e. treasury shares) the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) on those instruments are deducted from equity until the shares are cancelled or reissued. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the holding company’s own equity instruments. Consideration paid or received shall be recognised directly in equity.
DistributionsDistributions declared by the group to holders of the group’s interests are recognised in the statement of changes in equity. Distributions that have not been declared at the end of the reporting period are not accounted for in the current year. Such distributions are disclosed where the declaration occurred after the end of the reporting period, but before these financial statements are approved for issue.
Segment reporting A reportable segment is a distinguishable business of the group that provides products or services that are different from those of other segments. Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.
Business segments are defined according to the operational activities undertaken by each segment.
Inter-segment transfersSegment revenue, segment expenses and segment results include transfers between business segments. Such transfers are accounted for at arm’s length prices. These transfers are eliminated on consolidation.

3 GOODWILLCost 8 141 200 8 141 200 Accumulated impairment (8 141 200) – Carrying value – 8 141 200
The carrying value of goodwill is reconciled as follows:Carrying value at the beginning of the year 8 141 200 8 396 200 Goodwill sold – (255 000)Goodwill impaired (8 141 200) –Carrying value at the end of the year – 8 141 200
Impairment tests are conducted annually on goodwill based on calculations of the cash-generating unit (‘CGU’) to which the goodwill belongs. The goodwill is fully attributable to the Glass division and the reason therefore was disclosed under the Group Results heading in the Directors’ Report.
Management has determined the recoverable amount for the Glass division to be less than the net asset value thereof and have impaired the goodwill by R8 141 200.
The recoverable amount for the CGU is determined using value-in-use calculations which is based on assumptions reflecting past experience.
Value in use is determined by discounting the future cash flows generated from continuing use of the CGU using a discount rate. The key assumptions for the value-in-use calculations are as follows:
• Discountrate:Thediscountrateisbasedonthecompany’sweightedaveragecostofcapitalof between 12% and 15%.
• Discountperiod:10years
• Revenuegrowthrate:Between6%and9%overthenext10years.

The intangible asset arose as a result of the acquisition of HBS. Its remaining useful life is estimated at 19 years.
Change in estimateThe directors have reviewed the useful life of intangible assets during the current financial year. Refer to note 35 – Change in accounting estimate.
Assessment of useful life The directors have reviewed the useful life of the intangible asset during the current financial year and the useful life has been assessed as 20 years.
In the prior year the useful life of the intangible asset was estimated as indefinite based on all relevant information available at that time. The assessment of the intangible asset’s useful life in the current and the prior year is supported by the following factors:
• Normalproductlifecyclesforsimilartechnologyacquiredagainstpublicinformationonestimatesofusefullivesofsuchtechnologyindicatethat products of the aluminium industry typically experience very infrequent design changes due to the previous progression and nature of implemented systems, which is expected to continue for the determinable future.

4 INTANGIbLE ASSETS (continued)Impairment test for intangible assetsImpairment tests are conducted annually on intangible assets with indefinite useful lives based on value-in-use calculations. Value in use is determined by discounting the future cash flows generated from continuing use of the unpatented technology using a discount rate adjusted for the specific risks applicable to the operations associated with the technology. These cash flows are based on performance projections of operations making use of technology of similar nature. The key assumptions for the value-in-use calculations are as follows:
Growth in revenue: Determined from financial budgets and forecasts covering a three-year period. The growth rate used was 8%. This growth rate has been applied in perpetuity.
Discount rate: Based on the previous year’s margins as well as past valuation assumptions and approved management budgets. The discount rate used was 14.5%.

32 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENTThe group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
• liquidity risk;
• credit risk;
• market risk; and
• capital risk.
The group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the company’s financial performance. This note presents information about the group’s exposure to each of the above risks, the group’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the group’s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements.
The board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the group’s risk management framework. The board has established the audit and risk committee, which assists the board in developing and monitoring the group’s risk management policies. The committee reports regularly to the board of directors on its activities.
Liquidity riskPrudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions.
The group’s risk to liquidity is a result of the funds available to cover future commitments. The group manages liquidity risk through an ongoing review of future commitments and credit facilities. The group has maintained a positive cash position for many years.
The following table analyses the group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

The maturity profile of the recognised financial instruments represent the undiscounted cash flows that are expected to occur in the future.
Credit riskCredit 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.
Potential credit risk comprises construction contracts, trade and other receivables and cash deposits.
Contract and trade receivables comprise a spread customer base. Management evaluates credit risk relating to customers on an ongoing basis.
When undertaking a new contract the group evaluates both the contractor and the ultimate client. Most of the group’s customer base consists of contractors with whom the group has been transacting for over five years. The group only transacts with contractors who are well established in the market place and with ultimate clients whom the group has confirmed, through comprehensive credit checks, have the financial means to meet their financial obligations.
The credit quality of construction receivables neither past due nor impaired has been assessed as high. Sales are mostly made to local counterparties. Historical information about counterparty default rates indicates that there are no defaults. This is due to the group only taking on construction contracts for reputable counterparties with a high credit standing.
All trade debtors are subjected to stringent credit and background checks before opening an account in order to determine the potential customer’s credit quality and credit limits. Insurance cover is obtained for all new accounts opened above a predetermined limit set by management.
The credit quality of trade receivables neither past due nor impaired has been assessed as high. Sales are mostly made to local counterparties. Historical information about counterparty default rates indicate that, as a percentage of bad debts written off and provided for over total credit sales, the group’s default rate is 0.19% (2014: 0.24%).
Market riskMarket risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as interest rates, supply ability and prices will affect the group’s income. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return on risk.
The group is exposed to market risk through its purchasing of goods in order to complete contracts in line with specifications. The group’s risk comprises price fluctuations and supply shortages. The group manages this risk by maintaining a good relationship with its suppliers and constantly monitoring the changing environment and adjusting procurement levels accordingly.
The group is exposed to interest rate risk though its commitment to instalment sale agreements, other financial liabilities and cash and cash equivalents. The group manages its exposure by maintaining favourable bank and short-term deposit balances which serve to hedge against future exposure.

Capital risk managementThe group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern, while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balances.The group considers its capital to consist of stated capital of R71 864 018 (2014: R76 945 787) and retained income of R148 722 620 (2014: R198 382 254).The board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business.The level of dividends paid by the group is determined with reference to the liquidity and solvency of the group, as well as consideration of budgets and forecasts.The group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from the previous year. The group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

It is the opinion of the directors that the possibility of any loss is improbable and it is not anticipated that any material liabilities will arise.
35 ChANGE IN ACCOuNTING ESTIMATEDuring the year management revisited its accounting estimate with respect to the estimated useful life of intangible assets.
Management now estimates the useful life of the unpatented technology to be 20 years, while the useful life was previously, based on all relevant factors at that time, estimated as being indefinite.
The aggregate effect of the change in accounting estimate on the annual financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2015 is as follows:
Statement of financial position
Intangible asset
Previously stated 20 000 000
Adjustment (1 000 000)
19 000 000
Profit or loss
Amortisation of Intangible asset
Previously stated –
Adjustment 1 000 000
1 000 000
The change in accounting estimate is applied prospectively as that is the proposed treatment in line with IAS 8: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, and will lead to an increase in amortisation by R1 million annually in future periods.

All the subsidiaries are incorporated in South Africa and are 100% held by Mazor Group Ltd.
The carrying value of subsidiaries are shown at cost net of impairment losses.
The company’s investments in Compass Glass SA and Compass Glass were impaired by R5 626 983 during the current year.
The reason therefore was disclosed under the ‘Group results’ heading in the Directors’ Report.
The recoverable amount for the investments is determined using value-in-use calculations which is based on assumptions reflecting past experience. Value in use is determined by discounting the future cash flows generated from continuing use of the CGU using a discount rate. The key assumptions from the value-in-use calculations are as follows:
Discount rate: The discount rate is based on the company’s weighted average cost of capital between 12% and 15%
Discount period: 10 years
Revenue growth: Between 6% and 9% over the next 10 years

Fair value of long-term receivablesThe loans have no fixed terms of repayment. Accordingly the fair value of the loans cannot be ascertained as the future cash flows cannot be reliably determined.
Credit quality of long-term receivables not impairedThe loans from the share trusts are assessed by management as recoverable and they will be reduced by dividends paid by the group in forthcoming years.

13 Special resolution number one Repurchase of shares The board of directors of the
