Other matters

• BEE
• Dinatla refinancing
• Alignment with new BBBEE codes

  entrepreneurial, strategic stakes from time to

  Bidvests activities

25
Bidvest Group - sensitivity to anticipated
economic variables

• GDP growth Expected to remain good in all
  markets
• Relative rand weakness (vs GBP and AUD in H1
  2007) is positive on translation (quarter of
  earnings) and overall neutral to positive for
  South African trading business in medium term
• Mild price inflation Apparent across all
  markets upward pressure on wage and distribution
  costs and intense competition reinforces efforts
  to avert margin squeeze
• Upward phase of interest rate cycle Experienced
  in all geographies served countered by
  relatively positive operating conditions
• Consumer spending General confidence levels
  remain encouraging
• Benefit from infrastructure spend (incl.
  multiplier benefits) should not be underestimated
  
• SA has experienced none of the extreme economic
  volatility apparent in earlier times and we see a
  relatively settled trading outlook

OVERALL EFFECT BROADLY POSITIVE

Prospects

• Bidvest Namibia almost born
• Benefits of group-wide capex yet to be fully
  realised
• Value extract through group procurement

• Internationally food services business expansion

Management confident of delivering above-average
returns and growth for F2007
